──﹐MIDORIYA IZUKU

he is in love with your natural hair. he braids your natural hair whenever you need to. he practiced multiple times on his mom to be good enough on your 4c hair. he just love having you between his legs (not in the dirty way 😭) and taking care of your hair. he knows your arms gets tired at some point and he takes over. he even let you braid his hair. you tried once he looked cute but it was weird to see him like this.

“thereee you go! i’m done, you look beautiful darling!”

──﹐SERO HANTA

obsessed with your waist beads, they just look so good around your waist. he always smile whenever he sees you with cycling shorts and a crop top, seeing your waist beads falling onto your hips. ahh.. his favorite view. he loves to see you dance and roll your hips, he always hold them tight and follow your moves. you listen to the same type of music, so when it comes to singing some wizkid or rema’s songs, he will know the lyrics perfectly.

“i bought you the one with yellow and orange beads. it would look good on you, princess.”

──﹐JAËGER EREN

he was made for black women, especially you. everything about you looks so perfect to him. he just loves everything you do. but when you put you cultural dress/clothes? nahh, he goes feral. head over heels for you! the way the wax fabric hugs your shape, he’s a drooling mess. he just sees you as the mother of his children. he’s in love with your culture and tradition, he finds it so interesting and beautiful (which is true). will take 100 pics of you.

“you lookin’ so hottt right now, ma’. yeah, yellow is definitely your color.”

──﹐TODOROKI SHOTO

he is very caring, he will pamper you and spoil you whenever he gets the chance. when he step outside the house, he will come back with a gift. it’s his love language, he will spend his whole money on you. he will pay for your braids whenever you need to, your wigs and hair care. he will pay for your nails, he just loves to take care of you. he is your #1 fan, he will never fail to praising you. you’re hesitating between 2 hairstyles? he will choose for you, and make an amazing choice.

“i like the one with the curls, bohemian braids isn’t it? they would look amazing on you, my love.”

──﹐BAKUGO KATSUKI

he’ll never admit it but he is obsessed with the food you make. he always ask for more, he loves it. you were now cooking the kind of food your grandma made to your mom, and what your mom made to you. plantains are definitely his favorite, he always eat the whole thing. he’s himself a great cook, when it’s his turn to make dinner he never disappoint. but your foods are somehow different, and that is what makes it interesting. sometimes you both would even cook together, one teaching the other.

“yeah it tastes good, but i can do better than that. is there any left?”

──﹐TSUKISHIMA KEI

whenever you’re taking care of your hair, he’s always there for you. he knows how tired it can be when you wanna brush your hair, or straighten it. he will always help you. washing your hair? he is there when you can’t reach the back of it. loves to kiss your forehead as a reward and tells you that you did a good job. he always helps you take your box braids off too, watching a movie at the same time. he got his full attention on you, he knows whenever you need a break.

“you’re hungry, princess? let’s take a break and order something to eat.”

Hey there, i love your writting 🤍

Maybe you could write something with Lizzie x Fem Reader

In a world when everyone knew about Lizzie being bi, she went to a concert thanks to Scarlett and the marvel girls, they went to see Yn and her group, later Lizzie and Yn met and It was really good and they become friends, they like each other, they have a thing, they kissed, even sex but they were not together.

Yn with her life, some girls usually said they have a one night stand with her, and Lizzie didn't like that, because she was falling in love with Yn.

So one day, Lizzie decided to do something, meeting a friend and the paps took photos of them and that got Yn very upset because she thought they were together or Lizzie got tired of Yn, so she wanted to write a song, about her (you can choose one if you want) and Yn told Scarlett about it, and told her to bring Lizzie and the others to her next concert. So before she started to sing the new song, she said like she wrote it because she wanted to tell the world she was in love with someone and hopes it's not to late for being with her.

Then Lizzie was speechless and when the concert finished and see each other, Lizzie went to her and kiss her

The song

Y/N: 26 years old ——————————————————

NO ONE'S POV "That was actually really good" Lizzie admits, following her friends out of the stadium.

Lizzie, Scarlett, Flo, Hailee and Brie have just been on a concert. Scarlett's younger cousin is a singer and invited Scarlett and her friends to her concert.

"I know, right?! I told you Y/N is a really good singer and her band is awesome. You guys should meet her, I think you'd be good friends" Scarlett smiles, not waiting for any reaction and leading the girls backstage.

Meanwhile Y/N is already in her dressing room, all changed into just jeans and a hoodie, taking off her make-up.

"Come in!" She shouts after hearing a knock on the door.

"Hey there, superstar" Scarlett teases, walking in on which Y/N gasps.

"Scar, you came!" The girl smiles widely, immediately walking over to give her older cousin a hug.

"I had to when you invited me. You were absolutely amazing" Scarlett smiles.

"Thank you" Y/N smiles back, her cheeks turning a bit red.

"Oh. These are my friends who came with me. Brie, Florence, Hailee and Lizzie" Scarlett smiles, introducing everyone to her cousin.

"It's nice to meet you" Y/N smiles at all of Scarlett's friend, her gaze staying the longest at Lizzie who blushes when she notices. "Hey, we're planning to go to the bar, don't you wanna join us?" Y/N asks with a smile

———

A few weeks flew after that night, that night when Y/N made new friends. Her and Lizzie have even been out for lunch and dinner a few times.

Y/N takes a deep breath before opening the door, her date only just arrived. She opens the door and can't help herself, but to stare at the gorgeous woman in front of her.

"Everything okay? Is the dress too much?" Lizzie asks nervously.

"No, no. You just look so beautiful" Y/N smiles, standing aside to let her date in. "Come in"

"Thank you, you also cleaned up nicely" Lizzie smiles back, walking in.

"Thank you" Y/N smiles, her cheeks turning red.

This is one of the few times that Y/N actually felt something towards someone. Usually she does just one night stands and never takes it seriously, but with Lizzie it's different and she knows that she wants more than just a one time thing.

The singer tried her best to cook the best dinner, so the date would be perfect. And it's all looking really good so far.

The conversation goes on and on, Lizzie has complimented the food a few times which always makes Y/N blush and Lizzie loves that.

The girls move to the living room after dinner. They continue sharing stories from their childhood and school years, laughing at them together.

That soon stops when they lips meet for a kiss. Both somehow felt like it's the right moment.

"Do you maybe… want to take that upstairs?" Y/N asks, smirk on her face when Lizzie agrees.

———

No call, no text, nothing. Lizzie's completely confused right now. Y/N promised she'd call her, but week has passed and nothing. Of course, Lizzie tried calling her many times, but Y/N just never picks up which makes Lizzie angry and sad at the same time as she's having feelings for the singer.

On the other side, Y/N is totally freaking out. She has no idea what to do. Relationships aren't her thing and she doesn't want to mess things up like she did in her previous relationships, she's really falling for Lizzie.

It is known between celebrities that Y/N's usually having just one nights stands and Lizzie only just found out which hurts her even more. She really thought they had connection.

"Are you sure she takes you just like a one night stand?" Aubrey asks which makes Lizzie sigh.

"She's not picking up her phone or answering messages, Aubrey. I was definitely just a one time thing for her" Lizzie explains, another sigh leaving her lips when she spots a group of paparazzi taking pictures of them.

"Why haven't you just gone to her house?" Aubrey asks, trying to help her friend.

"I don't need her to make me feel even more humiliated than I feel right now… I just… I just feel used by her and I really thought we could work" Lizzie sighs again.

While Lizzie's talking to her friend, Y/N is nervously walking around the house and waiting for her cousin to arrive and help her with this situation.

"Thank god you're here. I'm panicking and need your help" Y/N sighs, leading Scarlett into the living room.

"I'm sure it won't be that bad. What's up?" Scarlett asks with a chuckle, sitting down on the couch.

"… Scar, I think I fell in love" Y/N admits, dramatically sitting down next to Scarlett.

"What's wrong with that? It's completely normal" Scarlett says, rubbing her younger cousin's back and trying to comfort her.

"I just don't know what to do. We had a date and we… you know, we slept together. But usually I don't feel anything but now I do and I don't know how to tell her" Y/N sighs, burying her face into her hands.

"Just tell her you like her. It's not that complicated, honey. Just be yourself and tell her what you feel" Scarlett smiles, trying to encourage her cousin.

In that moment Y/N's phone beeps. The girl immediately takes a look, seeing an article about 'Elizabeth Olsen 'hanging out' with Aubrey Plaza'.

"I guess that doesn't matter now" Y/N sighs, her eyes filling with tears when she gives her phone to Scarlett.

"Wait. Lizzie is that one you like?" Scarlett asks shocked as none of them have mentioned anything. "Lizzie and Aubrey have always been close friends, I'm sure they're not dating"

"You can't know that. And the article says the opposite. Just read the first two sentences… I messed it up. I waited for too long"

"Y/N, if you really like her, just go and tell her, you'll-"

"No, I got an idea" A small smile forms on Y/N's face. "Can you please bring her to my next concert on Friday?"

"Sure, but what do you want to do?" Scarlett asks confused.

"I'm gonna write a song for her" Y/N smiles proudly.

"… Okay? I mean, I've never heard you sing a love song. Are you sure that's a good idea?" Scarlett asks unsure.

"Yes. I need something big… something romantic. I'll start working on it right now. Promise you'll bring her" The singer looks at Scarlett seriously.

"Okay, yeah. I'll bring her" Scarlett promises.

"Yay! Thank you!" Y/N grins, giving her cousin a hug before rushing away to find some papers and a pen.

———

"Scar, I really don't want to be here" Lizzie groans when Y/N sings her first song.

"Just wait a bit longer, you need to hear something" Scarlett sighs. Scarlett managed to drag Lizzie to the concert which Lizzie isn't happy about at all. Scarlett heard the song Y/N wrote though and she knows that Lizzie needs to hear that.

"Thank you for joining us tonight!" Y/N says to the audience that cheer in response and makes Y/N smile. "For the start I'd like to sing you a song that you've never heard before… I wrote it for one girl that I really like, but… but I panicked and messed everything up… But that doesn't change the fact that I want the world to know that I'm in love with her… Hopefully it's not too late to prove it"

When Y/N says the last word, the band starts playing and she starts singing the song she wrote for Lizzie who listens to every single word. Lizzie's eyes fill with tears while she's listening to the beautiful lyrics, she knows the girl Y/N is singing about is her and she knows she's in love with Y/N.

"So?… What do you think?" Scarlett teases, nudging her shoulder with Lizzie's playfully.

"I… I-I'm speechless" Lizzie admits, wiping her tears away. "I'm in love with your cousin" She smiles, looking back at Y/N who's about to sing another song.

"You're gonna need a lot of luck" Scarlett jokes. "I'm kidding. No. I'm not gonna lie, it'll be hard with her sometimes, but she really likes you. She'd never write a love song and then sing it in front of all of these people. You must be really special" Scarlett smiles, happy that her little cousin and her friend found love.

———

The concert just ended and Lizzie is making her way backstage with Scarlett following behind. She doesn't even knock and just opens the door of Y/N's dressing room which makes Y/N jump a little bit.

"Oh my god, you scared the-" Y/N starts, her sentence getting cut off by Lizzie's lips being pressed to hers.

"I'm in love with you too" Lizzie smiles after they pull away, Y/N's cheeks bright red as she wasn't expecting this at all. Y/N smiles and pulls Lizzie back in, kissing her passionately.

home isn't a place, it's a feeling, and i feel at home with you. | seok matthew

pairing: childhood bestfriend!matthew x reader

genre: fluff

word count: 4.4k

warnings: none! lowercase intended, not proofread

notes: i got a little carried away with this request, but i already had a plan for a childhood friends au with matthew so i morphed them !

you'll never forget the day you moved to the place you considered home; it was a sunny july day. and little 7 year old you was eager to make friends in this new town, and thankfully you didn't have to look very far. that was also the day you met the personification of home, seok matthew.

too young to be much help unpacking, your parents had sent you to play with the boy next door, and you got along like you had been friends since birth. the swing set in the backyard becoming your hangout spot for the next few years. competitions of who could swing higher was a weekly occurrence, even if matthew won every time.

"who wants popsicles?" matthew's mother called out, both of your ears perking up as you looked at each other, a competitive spirit erupting in your tiny bodies.

"i'll race you there," you suggested, getting an eager nod from matthew as you both stood up to get off the swing. "go!" you shouted, laughter erupting from your little chests as the boy exclaimed that you had a head start.

the two of you happily ate your popsicles, sticky fingers and all, sure you hadn't known each other very long at this point; less than a day even. but somehow, in some way, you already knew that this boy was going to be in your life for a long, long time.

the years flew by faster than you would've hoped; the two of you now pushing 13. the once beloved swing set in matthew's backyard had gotten too small for you, your new hangout spot being a hideaway you discovered behind your houses. it wasn't much, but you enjoyed the sense of rebellion that came along with being hidden away, even if you could still see your house through the clearing in the branches.

you didn't know it then, but these would be the years where it all started. your feelings for the boy next door.

everything about being 13 was confusing to you. everyone splitting off into cliques, boys not hanging out with girls, developing bodies, developing feelings. it was all so much information that you just couldn't wrap your head around. but thankfully you weren't doing it alone. you had matthew, like always.

sure, you had friends other than matthew, and he had friends other than you, but nothing and nobody could stop you two from being attached at the hip in one way or another. that's how it always was, and how it'd always be.

"hey y/n, do you wanna come to my birthday party this weekend?" one of your classmates had cheerfully asked, a card in hand with what you assumed were details for the party. you thought for a moment, asking your next question without hesitation.

"i'll have to ask but, can i bring matthew?" your smile had widened so much that your cheeks hurt, all at the mention of your best friend.

the girl laughed, kind eyes turning to crescents. "well he goes where you go, so of course!" she handed you two invitations, one for you and one for matthew.

everyone knew when they saw one of you, the other would be soon following; you were a package deal. going everywhere hand in hand, and you had grown quite fond of the way his hand felt in yours. but you were kids, what did you know, right?

soon enough you were walking across the stage of your 8th grade graduation together, and despite knowing it wasn't the case, you could've sworn you two were the only people in the room that day.

that summer was a strange one, both your nerves for starting a new school, and a new chapter of your lives, had you asking yourself what if? more often than you had liked.

"matthew?" you asked, twiddling with your thumbs as you had both laid across the grass in your backyard. high school had been looming over your mind for the entirety of summer break, and you needed to make sure the high school horror stories didn't happen to you and your best friend.

he hummed in response, turning his head to see you sitting up in the patch of grass, "what's up?"

"just, can we make a promise," you paused before seeing him nod, taking it as confirmation to continue. "i hear so many stories of high school tearing apart friendships, and i don't want that to happen to us. so promise me we won't let that happen, and that we will stay how we are." you rambled on, finally taking a deep breath as your worries had left your lungs.

a smile had spread across his face, "have you met us? nothing could tear us apart, especially not some silly brick building."

"matthew," you sighed, "promise me, please?" it wasn't often that you got serious with your best friend, but he knew when you were serious that it was something that truly worried you, and so he simply extended his hand to you, pinky out.

"pinky promise."

looking back, you were sure you two would've been fine without the naïve promise, but it made all the difference to you at the time. everything was so new and you just needed something safe, and that something was matthew.

freshman year was strange, all of your friends you had grown up with had started pairing off. you weren't sure what it was about the high school air that made people all start coupling off, but you couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

except for the fact that you had matthew.

"hey y/n," the two of you had been in his kitchen after school one day, eating popsicles. it was sort of your thing, just like when you were kids, minus the sticky fingers for the most part. "i have a proposition for you."

you couldn't help but shake your head, "that can't be good," you chuckled, "but sure, what is it?" you tilted your head, awaiting his next words with curiosity.

"if we are still both single at 30, we should get married."

"matthew," you laughed at the serious tone in his voice, "why would we do that." it was his turn to shake his head, as if you were missing out on some very obvious reasons.

"tax benefits, and you know, not dying alone." you suppose he had a good point, and if you were already single and 30, what else did you have to lose. plus you didn't exactly mind the idea of spending your lives together.

he looked expectantly at you as you pondered your options, "let's do it, it'll be our marriage pact." your smile widened as you went to throw out the popsicle stick that you had been chewing on for a couple minutes now.

when you turned around, matthew was standing there, hand outstretched for you to shake, "deal."

sophomore year was more troubling than you thought it would've been. having been asked out for the first time was, weird to you; having never considered the possibility. you didn't even really want to go, but it was a step in the right direction.

you liked to call this the denial phase. the time period where you told yourself you were over your silly childhood crush on your best friend, when you tried to make yourself like some boy in your english class to ignore the way your heart sped up around matthew. it was just a silly childhood crush, at least you thought.

he was always supportive, but especially when the boy in your english class asked you out. he was your number one hype man, helping you pick an outfit; even if you didn't go with what he picked.

"you look beautiful y/n." matthew smiled at you, only a few minutes before you were supposed to leave for this date. you were going on a date and all you could think about was your best friend calling you beautiful.

"thank you," you smiled shyly, attempting one last time to fix your hair in the mirror.

matthew handed you your shoes, helping you get out the door. "i'll be here when you get back and you can tell me all about how it went," he beamed, his smile wide and eyes in the shape of crescents, "have fun! but not too much fun." he wiggled his eyebrows at you, implying things you didn't even want to think about, hitting him on the arm before waving goodbye.

you assumed maybe this night had been a sign to you that you ignored. sure, deep down you know you didn't really like this boy, but you were sure you could've grown to. at least that's what you tried to convince yourself as you waited at the arcade entrance for him.

and you waited, and waited, and waited.

he had stood you up. he asked you out and he stood you up. you'd think that because you didn't even really want to go that it wouldn't hurt when he didn't show up. but it hurt. it hurt like hell. and there was only one person who could've fixed that.

you fished your phone out of your back pocket, trying to fight back the tears that threatened to spill. don't cry, not in public. you repeated to yourself as your phone rang.

"i didn't expect to hear from you so early, is it going okay?" his sweet voice ringing through the speakers was the final straw, a loud sob erupting from your chest as you tried to find somewhere more secluded in the mall to have your meltdown. "hey hey hey, what's wrong? what did he do?" matthew questioned, worry lacing his voice as he was already getting up to come get you.

"he didn't do anything," a sniffle interrupted your thought, "that's the problem. he didn't show up."

you felt silly crying to your best friend over the phone, but here you were, his voice pulling you from your own thoughts. "i'm almost there okay? are you still near the arcade?" you only hummed in response and that was enough for him.

he kept you on the phone the whole time, comforting you in the best way he could until he could come hold you and let you cry.

you had decided to meet him at the front door, seeing him walk up made everything okay, almost. "aren't you glad you live close to the mall," he called out, getting a light laugh out of you before he grabbed your hand, holding it the whole walk home.

this was the night you realized you loved him. not just as friends, as more than that. the moment he held your hand it had all flooded to you. you remember the feeling like it was yesterday; though that was partially due to the way it still happened every time he got near you now. but that wasn't the point.

the night he held you till you had no more tears left to cry, held you in his arms in your bed and let you ramble about everything going on in your head, well, almost everything. you didn't dare mention the way you wanted to stay with him like this forever.

at some point you had fallen asleep in his arms, at least that's what he's told you. you only remember waking up tucked into bed with your jeans still sticking to your body and matthew fast asleep on the other side of the bed. and even now you can't help but have that memory swirl around in your brain. he stayed.

a few months later you had found yourself sitting on your bed with matthew, faint music playing as you both just basked in the comfortable silence.

you loved that you could always do that with him. there were times where you just wanted to enjoy his presence, and you could do that without it being awkward. just knowing he was there was enough for you.

some people would call this moment the calm before the storm, before everything in your brain changed into a messy tornado of emotions.

"you know," matthew started, sitting up to face you, mirroring his actions as soon as you noticed the motion. "we both haven't had our first kiss yet, and we are getting older." your brain tried incessantly to figure out where he was going with this, every answer causing your heart to speed up faster than you would've liked. it seemed matthew could sense your curiosity eating you alive as he quickly spit his thought out.

"they say your first kiss should be with someone special to you, and you're special to me, so maybe we should try it. you know, just to see what it's like."

you were sure he could hear your heart beating out of your chest at the suggestion. sure, he had a point; you'd never have to worry about wasting your first kiss on some stupid guy you'd never talk to again. and sure, it'd be nice having it with someone you're comfortable around in case you mess up. but what he wasn't accounting for was that for you, that person doubled as your crush, and you weren't sure what to do with that. but it seems your mouth works faster than your brain.

"let's do it." you blurted out, against your own better judgement. desperate to try and sav your sanity a little, you let one more thought spill. a condition. "it's just to say we've done it though, right? we can just forget about it after and we won't bring it up again, yeah?" you asked, knowing damn well you were lying through your teeth.

if this did happen, you were sure the experience would live in your brain forever, there was no "just forgetting about it." but regardless, matthew nodded as he inched closer to you on the bed, his face coming closer before you shut your eyes, letting your lips connect.

it was clumsy, you couldn't lie. but in retrospect, it really could've been worse, and you wouldn't have had it any other way. the feeling of his lips on yours, noses bumping and all, was one that had stuck with you all these years later. you couldn't forget about it, and you often wondered if he did.

a couple years later he had asked you out to prom; as friends of course, but you couldn't stop your heart from beating out of your chest at the thought. it may not have been as partners but just knowing he was there with you and nobody else that night really made your heart to flips and the butterflies in your stomach flutter.

the days and weeks approaching prom were nerve-wracking to say the least. obviously you wanted to look good because it was prom, but you were going with matthew, you had to look your best.

he had done everything right that night, everything you were sure a boyfriend would've, not that you had anything to compare him to.

"may i have this dance," he smiled, outstretching his hand as a slow tune played from the speakers. you almost couldn't hear him over the sound of your own heartbeat mixing with the chatter from the other students, but you took his hand without a second thought.

"this is nice," you muttered, just loud enough for only the two of you to hear. "tonight has been amazing, thank you matthew."

his ever so contagious smile had appeared again, "there's nobody i'd have rather experienced it with." his grip on your waist tightened, pulling you in a bit closer, allowing your head to rest on his shoulder for a moment. "i'd do anything with you by my side."

maybe it was because the end of your teenage years had been quickly approaching, but matthew had become more and more sentimental, and it had done terrible things to your heart, terrible things that you never wanted to stop.

to no surprise to anyone around you, the two of you had even gotten accepted into the same college, which made the idea of graduating soon not seem so daunting. which was good, because the day had approached faster than you were expecting.

"we did it!" you cheered, standing with you and matthew's families after the ceremony.

he grabbed your hands, shaking them around a bit as you two freaked out, "we graduated!"

the small celebration was quickly interrupted by matthew's father calling you both over for group photos before getting some with just your own. with excitement and adrenaline high, you couldn't help but smile until your cheeks hurt.

you don't remember much else from that day other then going out to dinner with both your parents and the seok's. but it was amazing. and you and matthew had stayed true to your promise. you didn't let some silly brick building, as he called it, tear you apart like you had watched it do to countless other friendships.

you were in this for life.

and that's how you ended up where you were now, winter break of your freshman year of college. sure, the courses and workload was an adjustment to get used to, and the overall atmosphere was different than you had expected, but you and matthew had always made time for each other even with his new found popularity in college.

he had truly blossomed in college; you tried not to think about it too much, the way he had grown into himself, finding his style and learning how to do his hair. it was great for him you were sure, but horrible for you. when did he start looking like that?

to make matters worse, a lot of people in your new friend circles had assumed you were dating until you told them otherwise. what were you supposed to do with that information. as much as you wish that was true, it just wasn't the case. but that was okay, because you still had him in your life, and he was still your best friend.

your best friend who you held hands with, and went on cute platonic dates with. your best friend who knew you better than you knew yourself. your best friend that you had an unwavering crush on.

that was all. no big deal.

as if saved by the bell, your phone had started ringing before you could get too into your own head, reaching into your back pocket you saw the name flashed across the screen; maechu.

"hi, are you still coming over?" you asked, your smile audible through the phone.

"of course i am, i was just calling to tell you to unlock your door because apparently you can't hear when i knock." he laughed, seeing you approach the door through the window.

you opened the door with a sheepish grin on your face, muttering an apology before letting him in. you had been so caught up in your own head that you didn't even notice the box in his hand until you had made it upstairs to your room. "matthew, you didn't have to."

he shook his head and smiled, handing the gift to you. "i wanted to, and it's nothing fancy don't worry." you placed the gift down on your bed for a moment, walking over to your closet to grab a nicely wrapped gift from the shelf, handing it to the boy in return.

"i thought we agreed we weren't doing gifts this year." a chuckle left his mouth as he glanced between the gift in his hands and the gift on your bed.

a smile spread across your face, realizing once again just how similar you two were; but you supposed being attached at the hip for the majority of your life would do that. "we did, but here we are."

you quickly urged him to open his gift, watching the way his face lit up at the matching bracelets, the date you had moved in, and subsequently met, was engraved on the inside of the band. he couldn't help but tear up, pulling you into a tight hug. "i love it, thank you" he mumbled into your hair before pulling away, grabbing one out of the box, "help me put it on."

and so you did, securing the clasp around his wrist before he reached into the box and grabbed the other one, taking a hold of your hand to return the favor. you tried not to but your heart sped up at the action, even if it was just him doing something nice, which is what he was known for doing.

"okay now," he started, making sure the bracelet was secure on your wrist, "your turn to open your gift."

you hesitantly grabbed the box off of your bed, not having any clue what it could be. tearing through the messily strewn together paper and tape, you were met with a box, looking to matthew in curiosity only for him to urge you to continue.

when you took the lid off, the sides of the box collapsed, revealing pictures of you from when you were kids up until graduation on layers of colorful paper and stickers. in the middle of it all was another, smaller box. lifting the lid off you revealed a cute charm of your favorite character attached to a keychain of a spotify code.

"it's a playlist i made for you," he couldn't contain the smile on his face at your excitement over the gift. "plus it's on a keychain so even when we are busy, you'll always have something to remind you of me with you."

you couldn't help the tears pooling at your eyes, or the words threatening to spill. "god, i love you." you breathed out, your stomach doing flips at the confession.

"i love you too y/n." he smiled, a little taken aback by the confession as it wasn't something you two said lightly.

you sighed, "no matthew, i love you. more than i should as your best friend." it took him a moment to realize what you were implying but once he connected the dots, it hit him like a truck, pulling you in for a hug as he picked you up off the floor.

you let out a giggle at the sudden action, not even thinking about what it could mean until he set you down and you noticed the way his cheeks had flushed a deep crimson red.

"i'll say it again, i love you too y/n."

your eyes practically popped out of your head at the confession, questioning if you heard him right, or if this was all some crazy realistic dream but when you felt his arms wrap around your waist again, you knew this had to be real.

"you have no idea how long i've been waiting for this," you breathed out, trying not to cry from relief. all these years of pining after your best friend had actually been worth it. "it's been eating me alive."

pulling apart, matthew dragged you down to sit with you on the bed, moving the box over onto the floor where you weren't going to accidentally step on it. "i could say the same," he smiled, moving his hand to your knee where he rubbed circles with his thumb.

"i'm sure i've got you beat," you laughed, a little embarrassed by just how long you'd been feeling like this, causing him to quirk his brow at you, curious if you really did. "you're not getting it out of me, at least not till you tell me." you toyed, hoping he would agree.

"remember the night that guy stood you up in high school? that night is when it hit me like a truck, looking back i think i liked you longer than that but i realized it then."

in all honesty, that was way longer than you had expected, and it made you a little giddy to think that the last few years, he had been feeling the same way you had, and that maybe you weren't overthinking every time he held your hand or played with your hair to help you fall asleep.

"now you tell me." he tried to be as convincing as possible only to have you shake your head, insisting it was too embarrassing to tell him. "c'mon~ i told you, it's only fair." you simply let out a sigh, taking a deep breath to psych yourself up.

"i think it started when we were about 13," you pondered for a moment, but it really hit me around the same time it hit you, sophomore year."

"you're telling me you could've been mine since sophomore year?" he questioned in disbelief, feeling like he had missed so many opportunities up until this point due to being too afraid of rejection.

the blush that made it's way to your face at his realization could only be described as burning hot. you had no idea what to do with all the emotions bubbling in your chest, except for one thing. "i could be yours now." you suggested, looking down at your hands, being to shy to look him in the eye.

"i wouldn't have it any other way," he lifted your chin to look at him, "now pardon me if i'm overstepping, but i think we need a redo on that first kiss."

you nodded feverishly, causing him to chuckle before bringing your lips to his. this kiss was unlike your first one with him, your first in general. it wasn't clumsy, instead filled with a feeling of longing and desire; the kiss deepening as you let your lips part, only pulling apart when you needed air.

the feeling in your chest seeing his hair tousled, cheeks red and lips a little swollen was one you were sure you'd never get tired of, especially not when you were the reason.

"so," he paused, bringing his fingers up to feel his lips and memorize the feeling of his lips on yours, "is that marriage pact off?"

you smacked his arm, both letting out a chuckle at the memory of when you were 13 years old in his kitchen. "only if it means i'll be with you."

and that was it, you were here sitting at home, with the person who makes you feel at home anywhere; your best friend, and now boyfriend, seok matthew.

[likecastle]

This one's for @bus-ghoul, @utterfailure, @au79burger, and @extrastrengthvirgin, who all requested a follow-up to the prompt from earlier in the week with Robin and Nancy at the library. So here's some more of that!

When Robin skids to a stop in front of Nancy’s study carrel, Nancy snaps the index card she’s been scribbling notes on back into its little plastic box and gets to her feet.

“What took you so long?” She starts gathering up the books she’s taking with her, then stops and turns to look at Robin again, more critically this time. “Were they closed?”

Robin can’t believe how pretty Nancy looks with her brow furrowed and her lips bent in a little frown. Robin wants to kiss the vertical line between her eyebrows, and the thought occurs to her in an almost hysterical rush that Nancy might want that, too. Nancy, who talked her up so much that all her friends thought Robin was her date.

“Robin?”

“Uh . . . what?” Robin croaks. Some part of her is still repeating that word to herself—date date date.

“My coffee?” Nancy prompts.

“Oh!” Date! Date! Date! “Right, yes.”

Nancy’s frown only deepens. “Yes . . . they were closed?”

“No,” Robin says. Technically, she realizes, she’s already gone on a date with Nancy, even if she didn’t realize it. She’s been on a date with Nancy Wheeler! She wants to laugh, but tamps it down. “Sorry, it’s been a weird morning. What were we talking about?”

Nancy narrows her eyes at Robin. “Are you OK?”

“Definitely not!” Robin admits cheerfully, earning her another shush from somewhere nearby. “But it’s fine, don’t even worry about it!”

Because the thing is, if she’s already been on a date with Nancy, then that really takes all the pressure off asking her out. She doesn’t have to wonder whether Nancy likes her back, or if she’ll deign to be seen with her in public, because she already knows the answer.

Somehow, her reassurances don’t seem to set Nancy at ease. “Is this about earlier?” Nancy asks warily. “Because I know I shouldn’t have snapped at you, it’s just midterms and everything, and—”

Robin waves a hand. “You don’t have to make excuses. I get it. Things are hectic, and here I am making a mess of everything while you’re just trying to finish up your papers.”

“You don’t—” Nancy begins to protest, and it’s sweet of her, really, to try and defend Robin, even if she was the one casting aspersions a little while ago.

“Oh, no, trust me. I’m definitely good at screwing things up. Like, the other day, this pretty girl asked me out and, like a complete and utter bonehead, I didn’t even realize it was a date, so I spent the entire night talking to someone else when I could have been hanging out with her.”

Nancy has gone very still. She’s looking at Robin with a cautious expression—almost, Robin thinks, hopeful.

“And you wanna know the crazy thing?” she goes on. “I’ve had a crush on this girl for ages. So, like, her asking me out was almost too good to be true, you know what I mean? I guess that’s why I didn’t realize what was happening. Like, never in a million years did I ever expect her to see me that way, so when she did, it just didn’t even occur to me I could be so lucky.”

“I thought it was pretty obvious,” Nancy says primly, a blush rising to her cheeks, “but I guess I could have been clearer.”

Robin laughs. “It’s all right, I think I get it now.”

[possessmeplease]

MODERN NARUTO HCS!!

I dont wanna make too many, so heres a few!! None of these personalities are canon, these are all just made up. If you dont like when people put totally different personalities on characters, I recommend you dont read this! 🫶

-Sasukes family is full of police, and they run a police station

-The Uchiha family is also some kind of mafia shit

-Yes they abuse their police power

-The Hyuugas are also mafia, and are rivals to the Uchihas!

-Sasuke and Neji were forced ‘rivals’, because they were the same age

-Sasuke almost killed Neji

-Later became friends, now repeatedly visits Neji in the hospital because he got in a coma

-Naruto is Sasukes real rival, but only in academics, girls and strenght (from Naruto’s pov)

-Sasuke sees Naruto as a rival, somehow

-Minato and Kushina are alive, very chaotic but happy couple

-Minato is the mayor, and Kushina is a judge

-This is how Sasuke sees a rival in Naruto, because Naruto is on the ‘good’ side and hes on ‘bad’ side

-They were rlly good friends in childhood tho

-They made out as practise hehe

-Knew they weren’t attracted to men after that

-Naruto wasn’t exactly hated when growing up, but he accidentally murdered someone in his teens so lots of people hated him after that

-Wasn’t actually the murderer

-He got away with it anyway because of his parents :)

-Seen as ‘weird kid’ in school

-Trained his body from a very young age, and does martial arts!!

-Really powerful

-He had a crush on Sakura until he found out from his parents that she was included in some sketchy shit

-Sakura is very smart

-Like very

-She knows the Uchiha are mafia, because of a certain happening

-Popular in school

-Became really strong after she started dating Sasuke, because Sasuke trained her really well so she’d be able to protect herself!

-Hinata is a shy cutie, but when you get to know her shes kind manipulative with her shyness, and clingyness

-Didn’t know she was manipulative though, because she just picked up behaviours from her mom

-The hyuugas are not a happy family/household

-Didn’t wanna be involved with mafia, since it included being more ‘close’ to her family

-She only likes Neji and Hanabi in her family

-Became stronger so she could protect Hanabi

-Dislikes Sasuke for what he did to Neji.

-Ino is a whore

-That sounded bad mb

-She doesn’t like it, but her family is poor so she sells herself

-Is trying to use Sakura for money

-Thats why theyre friends

-Shikamaru is smart, but ignorant

-He ignores everything that goes on around him, because its too ‘bothersome’

-Choji follows what Shikamaru does, not hesitant. Theyre best friends, right? Shikamaru wouldn’t do anything to hurt him, right?

-Kiba has a fake personality, and is only himself around his dog

-He doesn’t wanna be involved in anything, but ends up being involved anyway

-Nobody notices Shino. He does that want to be noticed, anyway. Or?

-TenTen clings on to Sakura and Ino like a leech, she just wants friends.

-Lee is super sporty! Too bad he got a really bad injury that made him unable to do what he loves.. Hope this doesn’t make him *too* depressed!

-Does Gaara spare his siblings? We dont know. Will Naruto be able to save Gaara in this timeline? We dont know.

-‘Sensei’s like Kakashi are teachers or workers in shops

-Itachi does his best to keep Sasuke out of the spotlight. He likes when the attention is on him.

한강

Contains swearing.

"Don't you find it poetic that a river always flows to the sea? Like, the inevitability of it. No matter how fast or slow the water goes, no matter how windy the path, as long as you follow the river you'll end up in the ocean."

"Bruh, I just wanted to go on a quick date. No need to get all philosophical about it."

"You're no fun," you say, looking over and pouting at your girlfriend in the passenger seat.

"Hey, I'm the one who had the idea to come here."

"Fine. Sorry, I'm just being all romantic and stuff. Can't help it when I'm around you."

You kiss her cheek at the light. It turns a similar shade of red.

She smiles softly and looks out the window. "So cheesy."

"Sorry~! Like I said, I can't help it."

She looks back at you and takes hold of your hand.

"Never said I didn't like it, though."

"Like, when I'm overly romantic and shit?"

"Mmhmm. It's cute. I love everything about you."

A small pause. You feel your heart swelling.

"Let me be the romantic one today," she says, gripping your hand tighter. Then, somehow finding a way to make her voice even sweeter, she asks, "Will you go on a date with me, baby? Let's walk by the river."

Thankfully the light turning green gives you an excuse to look away. You wouldn't have been able to take your eyes off her otherwise. And so the car races down the street. Just like your heart.

-

"You wanna buy some ice cream, honey?"

"What's ice cream honey?"

"바보야. I'm calling you honey."

"Oh," you say quietly as you bite your lip and look away. She really was being extra today.

"You like when I call you that?" Her tone becomes mischievous when she catches on.

"What makes you think that?"

"Oh, I don't know. Probably the way you can't stop smiling right now." She pokes your side with her elbow.

"For fuck's sake, Min. Stop~!"

"Hihi. I love you, honey."

"I love you, too, babe," you say, still grinning like an idiot.

"So, do you want ice cream or not? I'll buy some for you."

"That sounds perfect."

"You're perfect." She winks at you and you fall apart completely.

"Minji! I can't." Weak in the knees you collapse into her arms. Her embrace is so warm. Just as it always has been. "I love you so much."

"나도," she says softly into your ear. "Come on. I'll get you your favorite."

Overflowing with the warmth of her love, you down the ice cream to keep cool. And with your legs still weak, she takes the lead and pulls you by the hand along the river.

"I've been reading up on love languages recently," she continues.

"Oh, yeah? What did you learn?"

"You seem like a words of affirmation kind of girl."

"What could have possibly given that away?"

You both chuckle.

"But you also like quality time don't you? That's why I wanted to take you out on a date today."

"Honestly, Min, you make me fluent in all languages. As long as it's you."

"So, you like when I buy you ice cream? Or when I play with your hair like this?"

The chaotic squealing that escaped your mouth made the answer very clear.

"민지야! Why are you being so sweet?"

"I don't know. I'm just in love with you, I think."

-

"You know, I actually do like what you said about rivers earlier. It reminded me of something else."

"And what was that?"

"Us. I just like the idea of being a river with you. The inevitability of us being together. All the way to the sea. Whatever that may be."

"I like that, too."

As the sun began to paint the sky over Seoul a beautiful rose gold, in a more serious tone she asks, "So, do you like the way I love you, baby?"

"갑자기?"

She just nods back, a sweet smile on her lips.

"Of course, Min. I love the way you love me. In all the love languages. And I'm so lucky that you do."

"But what's one thing that I do that you really like?"

"Mmm, I love when you take my hand and just hold it. I don't know, it just makes me feel so warm inside. Just thinking that my girlfriend, Kim Minji, wants to hold my hand."

"Aww, sweetie."

She gestures for you to sit down with her on the grass by the river. And there you both stay, quietly enjoying the sound of the birds and the water, the light of the evening sun, and the warmth of each other.

"I love your hands." She takes your right hand and caresses your fingers slowly with hers. "This one would look really pretty with a ring on it."

"뭐야! What the fuck, babe!" you exclaim, caught off guard, your cheeks turning all sorts of colors, from the reds of fallen leaves to the pinks of the cherry blossoms in the wind.

"What? I'm just saying! It could be any ring. You're the one reading into things," she says cheekily.

"Am I?"

She doesn't respond. Instead she just closes her eyes and smiles into the sunset, your hand still in hers.

Instincts and lovebirds (p.1)

Sokka x firebender!OC

c/w: swearing!! this is my first time writing an oc x canon so this may or may not be the worst thing you’ll ever read??, basically Sokka and Zuya making fun of Katara’s crush on Jet. This is also pretty long by the way. Written in third person and I usually avoid using adjectives that have informations regarding looks but I want you to have an idea of how Zuya looks like.

a/n: first time writing in the atla universe<33, english isn’t my first lanuage, please tell me if I make any mistakes

also just like in my previous posts, my way of writing dialogue might be different than what you’re used to.

I haven’t introduced my oc Zuya on this page at all, so maybe I’ll do it in a separate post. I hope you like her.

This whole encounter was weird. First, Sokka swore on his instincts that they all should walk instead of flying on Appa and then suddenly they’re being saved by a bunch of kids from being ambushed. Yet somehow, even though they were saved, something didn’t feel right. Zuya felt as if they were still ambushed or captured in some way. It was plainly uncomfortable.

Jet, Smellerbee, Longshot, Pipsqueak, Sneers and The Duke. They didn’t seem like a usual vigilante group. More like, wild children mixed with pirates. Zuya noticed some dirt on their necks and hands, they must’ve hardly ever bathed. Only Jet seemed to vaguely know what hygiene is. Even if Sokka’s instincts proved to be incorrect, right now the bad gut feeling he had was shared with his friend, Zuya.

- Psssst. - the brunette hissed to Sokka, while Jet’s friends were looking through the fire nation’s supplies.

- I’m right next to you, idiot. - he hissed back, but louder. - If you wanna talk shit about them I’m here for it, just don’t hiss like a wild animal. - the boy crossed his hands, looking at his friend.

- Okay, okay I just wanted you to get the goddamn hint.

- I know what you’re gonna say. - he begun.

- They look suspicious as hell. - they both said at the same time. Zuya tried her best not to point it out, so that he wouldn’t feel too special about guessing what she had on her mind. That would get into his head. Everything goes right into Sokka’s head, actually.

- Katara doesn’t think so. - Zuya choked out, pointing her head to the girl’s direction. Katara was thanking Jet for their help. Sokka seemed to run out of ideas on commenting this whole thing. He rolled his eyes. - I mean, it’s nice of her to thank him but her voice is high pitched and she’s kinda getting red.

- What? What do you mean? - Sokka squinted his eyes to see better, as if that was supposed to help in any way.

- Seems like your sister has a little cruuush. - Zuya teased, twirling her dark hair around her finger to mock Katara.

- Hell no, why this freak of all? Why couldn’t she perhaps, I don’t know, have a crush on Haru?

- We were in that village for two or three days, it’s better for everyone that she didn’t.

- We’re not gonna be here much longer either.

- It’s best if none of us has a crush. Any kind. It would only slow us down.

- Same thing! This whole Jay, or whatever his name is, isn’t all that. Just look at him. What the hell is that in his mouth? A straw? Grass? Is he a cow? - Sokka tried to come up with a creative insult.

- You’re just bitter because your life-saving instincts didn’t work. We should call them life-ending instincts, cause you know…cause we were ambushed.. - Zuya giggled. Sokka’s glare was digging into her. Even if he wasn’t very intimidating, she wasn’t going to test his limits right now. - No, but seriously. We should get out of here before we even have the chance to meet those guys closer. I know the type of mr. nonchalant, it’s not gonna end well. It’s for Katara’s own good.

They followed the group, because Katara and Aang wanted to see their secret hideout. It was pretty obvious their spot wouldn’t be on the ground, given that the trees were the tallest they’ve seen and tents or houses would be too easy to spot. However, Sokka didn’t really think about it.

- Soo, Zuya, right? Are you from the Earth Kingdom? - Jet asked. She was in the same attire she left her village, Kyoshi. She was taken in by the village’s members when she was just a young child, nobody really expected her to grow up to be a firebender.

- Yeah, I’m from The Kyoshi village. - she replied.

- Are you an earthbender?

- Actually she’s- - Katara begun.

- A non-bender! Just like Sokka. - Zuya corrected her quickly. The rest of the gaang didn’t question it.

- A, nice to know. Explains a lot. Hey, you two, grab those handles. - Jet suggested, turning to the ,,non-benders”.

- What does this thing d- - Sokka was cut off, being plunged into the air. Zuya couldn’t react in time, sharing the fate with her friend and soon grabbing onto the thick branches for dear life.

- Look, shit, look! - Zuya tugged on his arm.

- What?! - he asked, just now getting his head out of the leaves. She grabbed his chin and pointed him to look down, where Katara and Jet where smoothly flying upwards to the hideout. - I’ve had enough, we’re getting out of here as soon as possible. - he commented.

- They’re having their movie moment in there. - she said, noticing how Katara’s face is constantly red from all of the blushing. - How cute.

- You seem to be having a moment too. - Aang startled them. They didn’t notice him flying up. It slips their mind that Aang can literally levitate.

- A moment? We’re having a moment of hanging onto a tree branch. - Zuya said loudly, still recovering from the Aang jumpscare. Sokka turned away and climbed onto the wooden plank attached to the tree that led to the hideout.

They caught up with the group and Jet showed them around, talking about how amazing his ,,freedom fighters” are in being a pain in the Fire Nation’s ass. Sokka looked like he was in agonizing pain the whole time, and even more when they sat around the fire. That’s when Jet did his whole inspiring speech.

He sat down, separating Sokka and Zuya from Katara and Aang.

- Hey Jet! Nice speech.

- Thanks. By the way, I was really impressed with you and Aang. That’s some great bending back there.

- He’s great, he’s the avatar. - Katara explained. - I could use some training. - she was blushing again.

- The avatar? Nice. Very nice. - Jet seemed to be so pleased about that fact, it made them pretty uncomfortable. Sokka’s instinct must’ve worked at that moment.

- Sorry, but we need to leave tonight. - he said, cutting their conversation short.

- Yup, we should’ve left earlier, we can’t slow down. - Zuya added to back him up.

- Sokka! Are you kidding, I needed you for an important mission! - Jet whined.

- What mission? - Sokka’s ears perked up, even if he didn’t get too excited. A mission was enough for him to be convinced, knowing him.

- Tomorrow, we have to do a patrol and make sure The Fire Nation doesn’t attack or anything. - Jet tried to bribe him. - You could use a good night’s sleep for once.

- True. We’ll get to the North Pole, Sokka, let’s just use this occasion. - Aang spoke up.

- Only for one night. We can’t stay longer. - he gave in. - I’m going to sleep now, if you don’t mind. Me and Zuya stayed up all night to guard the supplies. We’re tired, right Zuya?

- Right. Exhausted.

- You can go to the hut on the left. - Jet said. - Goodnight!

- Goodnight. - Sokka spat out, before taking Zuya by the wrist and leading her away from the group.

- There’s no way you agreed to stay just to go on a mission, Sokka. - she hissed at him again. - It’s not even that important!

- Oh shut up, I’ll finally do something for once. Maybe they’ll give us some supplies for that.

- They won’t give us shit.

- Let’s just go. - he said, entering the small hut they were given to sleep in. They tried their best to ignore how annoying the newly met people were and just got ready for bed.

- Why did you tell them you’re a non-bender? - Sokka suddenly asked, when Zuya was brushing out her long hair. She usually wore it in two long braids, but this evening was a good occasion to brush it all out and distract herself.

- Gut feeling. They hate the Fire Nation.

- You’re not from the Fire Nation though?

- And how would they know that? It’s better to tell them the short version instead of explaining myself. I’m not planning on using fire here anyway.

- Good point. - he put his hands behind his head and laid down. - I’d love to see you firebend the hell out of them, though. - he added with a smug grin. It made her smile.

- Maybe I’d do that if I could firebend better. I only know a few moves. I think I might’ve noticed something. Sokka? Can you braid my hair?

- Yea…what did you notice? - he positioned himself behind her. Gran gran taught him how to do Katara’s hair when their mom died, he never really forgot how to do it.

- All of the ,,freedom fighters” have strange outfits. They’re so mixed. Jet has parts of the Fire Nation attire mixed with the Water Tribe’s clothes, or The Duke? He has everything in green and yellow, traditional Earth Kingdom colours.

- So, what are you saying?

- I’m just saying…don’t get into any trouble tomorrow. - she sat while he braided her hair. - Or your outfit might be worn by one of them soon.

- Thieves are the last thing I wanted to encounter. Still, why would I get into trouble? I’ll just pretend to be their friend or somethin’- he asked, already aware why exactly.

- You know damn well why. You’re going without us on that mission, don’t try to act like a smartass.

- I won’t. I’ll try to, at least.

- Promise me you won’t. I don’t wanna have to run to save your sorry ass again.

- Again? Excuse me. - he tugged her hair on purpose.

- Ow! Yes, again. If I wanted go count all of the times where I had to drag you out of someone’s hands I’d run out of fingers. - she grabbed his hand to stop him. Sokka scoffed at that. - Can I braid your hair too?

- No, my head is pounding when you do my braids, they’re too tight.

- I’ll be more gentle? - she smiled, just as he was finishing her own braids. He sighed.

- Just this once. - he finally agreed. - Don’t make them so tight.

- I’ll try.

- You don’t look exhausted. Is Sokka hitting on you again? - Katara asked when she entered the hut with Aang. She was in a good mood, who wouldn’t be if they found themselves a love interest?

- Not today. - she pretended to be let down. Or she wasn’t pretending.

- Just for the record, I’ve never done that. Focus on hitting on Jet, Katara.- he insisted.

- Stop moving so much or else I’m making the braids tight.

- You can’t deny it. Back in Kyoshi, Omashu and when pirates tried to take us. - Aang counted on his fingers and then shoved them into grumpy Sokka’s face. - And that one evening?

- You forgot the boat thing. - Katara reminded.

- Right, boat thing too. - Aang smiled like the cute kid he is.

- It wasn’t intentional. My charm is unbeatable, what can I do about it? Happens on it’s own.

- All of you should go to sleep. - Zuya said, carefully making small braids on Sokka’s head. She finished up and for the rest of the evening, thankfully nobody brought up the topic of Jet and his friends.

Zuya was abruptly waken up by Sokka, right when he came back from the mission. Katara and Aang must’ve already gone somewhere.

- Wake the hell up Zuya, they’re psychos! - Sokka shook her by the shoulders.

- Stop shaking me! - Zuya’s green eyes were barely open and the boy was still blurry in her vision.

Hello you lovely people. 💚 I can't believe that there's really 1.5 k of you following me and I feel so honoured and blessed because I got to meet so many wonderful people. Of course, something like that calls for a celebration. The celebration will run until February 5th 2023 because that's my birthday, and I think that's a good date to stop that. Instead of writing myself, I'm going to give you a list of prompts (SFW, NSFW and scenarios). Just send me an ask telling my which prompt you want to do (you can combine them AND they can be done by multiple people) and which pairing you want to write it for (The Witcher and Stranger Things, any pairing you want). I'll read all of them, reblog them, and compile a list at the end to get them all together. When you post it, please tag me and tag it with #staffis 1.5 k celebration Among all those who reblog this post and who help spread the word, I will give away five sets (maybe more, we'll see) of stickers, and among those who write for this, I will give away 3 handpainted bags with the Hellfire Club Logo and little Eddie on the other side.

Gonna put the prompts below the cut, because otherwise, it wil probably be way too long. If you have any questions, my askbox is open. This is a way to celebrate, as well as spreading some love for other writers 💚💚

Scenarios

A is talking on the phone to someone, while B comes up behind A and successfully distracts A with kisses to the neck, making A end the call early.

Baking together for the first time, which ends with flour and other ingredients where they don’t belong, and lots of laughter.

Lying in each others arms after having sex, while A finally confesses their feelings, and B falls asleep before they can even hear it.

Tracing your fingers over your lover’s freckles or even connecting them with a pen while they are asleep.

Sitting in silence watching the stars, hands inching closer, until they finally interlace their fingers, smiling to themselves.

Giving your crush your scarf and your gloves in cold weather, because you want to keep them warm.

Waking up to your lover pressed against your back, already awake, but they don’t want to get up just yet.

Coming home to find your lover made a pillow fort, ordered pizza and already got a movie set up for you to watch in that fort.

Going to a family wedding with your best friend, who you introduced as you boy-/girlfriend so that your family doesn’t try to set you up with someone - that means you’ll also share a bed for the night.

Coming home to smoke in the kitchen, because your lover wanted to make a cake for you, but is an absolute disaster in the kitchen.

Teaching your crush how to dance, because they want to know the basics for an event, which ends in lots of body contact, beating hearts, and an invitation to be their date for said event.

Being on the phone with your lover and they tell you “I love you” for the first time before hanging up, which makes for a very interesting next meeting.

Being at a loss for words, not able to express how you feel, so you just pull the other one close and kiss them instead. Actions speak louder than words.

Making it through a family dinner or some other event to come home and help each other out of these clothes. Unzipping a dress, unbuttoning a shirt with lots of soft touches and kisses that turn carnal at one point.

You come home drunk from a party, and your partner takes care of you, makes sure you get to bed safe, have enough water, and you tell them that you appreciate it, but there’s this wonderful person, who already has your heart, so you have to behave.

Going for a drive in the middle of the night, because you both can’t sleep, listening to your favourite songs and singing along, trying to be louder than the other one.

Surprising your loved one with recreating your first date, asking them if they remember all of that.

Scars tell the story of where we’ve been, they are a part of us, and you show that to your loved one with kissing all of their scars.

A Different Reason

The big windows in your bedroom allow the morning light to come in, illuminating everything. There are a few clouds in the sky, turning the yellow light a bit grey. The wind coming in is fresh, and you close your eyes as you breathe it in, a smile on your face. You like slow, late mornings like this, where you have nothing to do but sit around and relax.

Seated on the couch, still in pajamas, you have your feet up on the coffee table, and right next to you, in the same position, is Steve.

Captain America is a dear friend, a brother, for a couple of years now. Having him visit you is normal, even when it's quite early. He's the only one you don't have to lie to about your abilities, and that counts a lot. With him, you have no secrets, and it goes both ways.

“Stark called me again.” You say, a cup of tea is still half full and warm in your hands. “Guess why.”

“Recruitment.” Steve sighs, putting the empty bowl of cereal on the coffee table next to his feet.

“Yup. He came with the ‘hello, how are you? How's your job, how's your paycheck, blah blah blah, wanna join us?’ ” Rolling your eyes, you pull your legs over, folding them under you. “Same thing as always.”

“He cares, (Y/N),” Steve says, turning the TV volume down. “On his own way, but he cares.”

“Steve, I'm your friend, not theirs. I met them once and that was it.” Shrugging your shoulders, you tie your hair up in a loose, messy bun.

“You're powerful, (Y/N). You'd be a good addition to the team, and of course, you'd be trained before even considering putting you in a mission.”

“Oh, how do you do it?” You ask, furrowing your eyebrows at him.

“What?”

“You spoke and I heard Tony's voice coming out of your mouth.” With a smirk, you giggle at his eye roll. “Stevie, I can't control my powers. I haven't used them in a while and I spend more time trying to keep them away than learning how to deal with them. And the fighting... I can't do that. I don't have super strength like you, Thor, or Bucky. And I don't have any armor or some green guy waiting to smash.”

“Natasha doesn't have any–”

“Natasha was trained since she was a child. I won't ever match that.” Putting the cup on the table, you sigh. “I'm not superhero material, Steve.”

“I disagree. Being a superhero isn't about some ability. It's about helping others. Saving lives, fighting for those who can't fight for themselves. Putting your life first, being generous and kind.” When Steve speaks like that makes you admire him even more. And it makes you want to do something too, to help somehow. “And you have it. The powers are just a bonus. It's what makes us fight threats from other worlds instead of putting out a fire. Both jobs are important, both jobs are made by heroes.”

“I don't know, Steve.”

“I'd supervise your training myself, you know that.”

“I do.” Standing up, you take the cup and the bowl before moving to the kitchen. It's an open space with the living room, so the natural light is enough to light up the place, and you can talk to Steve from there.

“Let me get that.” He says as you put both things in the sink. He gets up as well, and you move aside to let him do the dishes. “Actually, (Y/N), I've been wanting to ask you to accept Stark's for a different reason.”

Pinching your eyebrows together, you move to the kitchen island, sitting on the stool. “Different reason?”

“Yeah.” He heavily sighs, glancing at you before focusing on the dishes again. “You know we're having problems with Bucky. Well... With his other side.”

“Did something happen?” Steve quickly dries his hands before pulling his shirt up a little. There's a purple bruise on his side. “What the hell, Steve? Don't you have super healing?”

“I do. This happened yesterday, it's actually better now.”

“Who did it?” You ask, but the answer comes by itself. “Oh.”

“The Winter Soldier comes and goes. And when he comes, it's chaos. He beats everyone up and runs away like he's still being hunted.” Steve finishes the dishes, drying and putting them in their places. “When he's back, it's Bucky again. But we have no idea what he did. If he killed anyone, or where he went.”

“Why don't you put some sort of tracker on him?” You suggest.

“Trackers are only for when we're on a mission, for safety. New policy.”

“Got it. So he's away now.”

“Yes.” He comes to the kitchen island, sitting across from you. “That's why I need you. I think that if you got closer to Bucky, and bounded with him, it could keep the other side locked up.”

“Wait.” You nervously chuckle. “You want to set me up with Barnes?” Steve's friendship with Bucky is well known to you. They're like brothers, and you, having the same feeling towards Steve, have the exact idea how that must feel. If it was Steve suffering from this, you'd be heartbroken. “I don't see how I could be of any help.”

“It wasn't my idea, not originally. The Hulk only calmed down after Banner got closer to Nat.”

“So you are trying to set me up with Barnes.” You don't have much contact with him. You met him twice when Steve managed to make him go out and you were there too. But that was it.

“I trust you. And Bucky knows I trust you. I just think having someone by his side could help somehow.”

“Doesn't he have the other Avengers?”

“He feels guilty because of what The Winter Soldier did to them. They're there to help, of course, but he holds back, and isolates himself. Not as much as before, but still.”

“And you think I could help him how?” Shrugging your shoulders, you wonder if you could do it. But that would also mean finally joining the Avengers. So there's that.

“If you manage to befriend him, I think it would be enough.”

“You think tiny, little me will be enough to keep the Winter Soldier away.”

“I don't know. We tried everything. It's a long shot but I've had this in mind for months.” Steve takes your hand, giving it a little squeeze. “I know what I'm asking. Saying yes to this means saying yes to Stark. But just think about it.”

Nodding, you sigh. “Have you spoken to Barnes about it?” He shakes his head, avoiding your eyes for a while. “What?”

“Bucky asks about you every now and then.” He speaks low, squinting his eyes a little.

“...He does? But we barely met.” Playfully pushing his hand away, you cross your arms.

“Every time I come visit you or we hang out he asks how you're doing.”

“And? That's just politeness.”

“When I was going out with Sharon he didn't ask how she was doing every time I went out with her.”

“It's different.” You get up, go back to the couch, and drop down on it. “I'm like your sister. It's normal to ask, I guess.”

“Is that a no?”

Taking a deep breath, you move your legs to give him space to sit. “...I have some conditions.”

“I'm listening.”

You sit up, legs crossed. “You will supervise my training. You, not Tony.” He nods. “And I need to get used to my powers. You know I can't control it.”

“We could talk to Wanda. She could help with that and I can work on mixing them with the physical combat.”

“Alright.” You stand up, hands on your hips. ”Tony will pay me, right? Because I'll have to resign from my stupid job and my stupid boss.”

“Money is not the problem.”

“Fine.” Taking your phone from the coffee table, you smile. “I shall enjoy leaving that stupid office.” You quickly call your boss, knowing very well he hates being bugged on a Saturday. You've been in this job not for too long, but long enough to hate your narcissistic, selfish boss. It takes a while for him to believe you're doing this, and he gets mad, telling you to take your stuff on Monday and don't go back.

“Such a nice human being,” Steve says when you hang up.

“The very best.” You say, sarcastically. “I'll get my laptop to video call Tony.” Quickly, you go to your bedroom, take the laptop from your nightstand and head back to the living room. On your way, you turn the computer on, already set up everything. “You think he'll pick up?”

“Stark? Always.”

Sitting next to Steve, you wait, but it only takes a few seconds for him to answer. “Please tell me you're calling with good news.” It's the first thing he says when his face appears. And by the looks of it, he's inside the armor.

“I can call later if you're busy.”

“Nope. I'm just monitoring a test. If this thing doesn't explode in the sky, I'll have to detonate it before it falls.” He speaks fast, eyes moving through the screen. “Oh, hey, there, popsicle.”

“Let's get this over with.” You mutter, positioning the laptop on your lap. “I thought about it and I'll accept your offer. I'll join the Avengers.”

“Oh, finally.” He exclaims. “Fury will get off my ass.”

“What do I do now?”

“Mmm– Oh, look at that, just as I thought. It didn't–” A loud noise cuts him off. “It didn't go off and as always I have to do all the work.”

“Should I call later?” You ask, eyebrows furrowed, wanting to see what he's seeing instead of just his face.

“Nope. Just pack up and move to the compound. We have a room for you and– Damn it.”

“Got it. Bye, Tony.” You push the laptop close, looking at Steve. “So I'll have to live there?”

“We all do. Well, most of us.”

“That's because you guys are all losers who don't have an apartment.” Saying that in a sassy, sarcastic tone, you giggle, ignoring his eye-roll and heading to your bedroom. There, you take the pieces of luggage you have, and putting them on the bed. “Well, if you don't get your ass here and help me I might change my mind.” You yell, starting to get your clothes.

“Right away, ma'am.” You hear him before he comes and joins you.

It doesn't take long to pack up, but you need all your baggage and two large bags you had. Then, Steve called the compound and they sent a car.

“So...” You start, looking at New York passing through your window. “What now, Steve?”

“About Bucky or training?”

That makes you think a little. “I trust you with the training part. So, Bucky.”

Steve sighs. “You know Bucky joined us a couple of years ago. Wakanda did a good job with him, but after a particularly... complicated mission, the Winter Soldier emerged again.” He starts. You already know this, but this time is different. You'll need to mind these things to somehow help him. “That was about a year ago. Now... The Winter Soldier takes over whenever he wants, and he still thinks he's being hunted so he always runs away. Last time he was away for three weeks.”

“How does Bucky comes back? I mean, how does he take over again?”

“He says he just does. He can't even explain it, he just fights over it and win. And when he wins, he goes back to the compound with no memories of what happened.”

“So Bucky doesn't remember what the other guy does, and the other guy doesn't remember anything about Bucky's life.” You sum that up, keeping all the details in mind.

“Exactly.”

“Alright.”

“Any plans yet?”

“No. But I'll do my best.” You tell him, smiling. “If he's as cool as you, we might get along very well.”

Steve smiles and so do you, playfully punching his arm.

Once you're a the compound, Steve takes you to your bedroom and helps you put everything in their places. After, a while before dinner, he tells those who live here that you finally decided to join the Avengers. Besides Steve, Natasha, Banner, Sam, and Bucky live here, in this huge apartment with an entire floor only for the bedrooms. Thor has his chambers too for when he comes to Earth. Wanda and Vision have a separated apartment on the West wing, so they can be more isolated since they're a couple, and the same goes for Tony and Pepper. Clint lives away with his wife and kids, on a farm. Parker still lives with his aunt. But there are still a lot of people around.

Steve makes a somewhat formal introduction, and you feel welcome. Mostly because they had a dinner made for you. Well, Tony ordered dinner for everyone. But everyone ate together.

Bucky doesn't show up for days. Everyone is worried, but Steve is more. And through him, so are you.

It's the middle of the night when you hear footsteps, which wake you up. Being on the Avengers compound means that, if there's a commotion this late, something might have happened. So you rub your eyes, pushing yourself off the bed and heading to the door. When you open it, you find Natasha walking fast. “What happened?” You ask, following her.

“He's back.” She simply says, and you sigh.

Everyone is gathered in the living room, and you see when the doors open and an exhausted Bucky walks in. He gives Steve a small, sad smile before complimenting the others as well. And then, his eyes fall on you, set behind the others.

“(Y/N)?” He asks, his voice a little hoarse. “You here?”

“Hey.” You smile, walking over to him. “I joined the Avengers. The big brother I never wanted managed to convince me.”

“Good, good.” He mutters, eyes not leaving you.

“It's nice to have you back.” You tell him, friendly touching his arm.

“Thanks.” He answers, looking down. “I'll take a shower and rest.” He says before walking away. Seeing him like this breaks your heart, and you wait until Steve comes to stand next to you.

“Stevie... That blood on his shirt... It isn't his, is it?” You ask in a low voice, looking at the empty hall where he disappeared a while ago.

“No, it isn't.”

Introducing Baby Barber No. 2

Summary: Andy and Reader welcome another baby Barber into the world.

Andy Barber x Black! Reader, Bianca Barber, New Baby

Warnings: Light Angst, Infant Medical Conditions, Excited BiBi, Fluff, Cursing, Happiness, Minors DNI

A/N: This was so fun to write.Part of my Growing Pains Series. Let me know what you think. Please! I want feedback! Bye now!

___

Three Months In…

You, Andy, and BiBi had just finished dinner when you decided to drop the bomb.

“Alright, you two. Mama has gifts for you both.” You get up to retrieve them from your hiding spot. 

“Gifts?” Andy murmurs. “What’s the occasion?” 

“Eh, I was just thinking about you is all.” You respond with a shrug as you hand them both a wrapped box. 

“Presents!” Four-year-old Bianca screeches. They both tear into the paper. Bianca manages to get hers open first. She holds up the shirt you bought for her, working hard to read the words. Just in time for Andy to open his box. He looks down at the shoes, momentarily confused.

“Mama…”

“Sound it out, BiBi.” You encourage her. 

“I’m. A. Big. Sister.”

Your husband holds up the baby booties. “Are you being serious right now, Y/N?” His voice is hoarse with emotion. 

“I am.” You whisper. “We’re having a baby, honey. Another baby, that is. And our Bianca Bibbity here is gonna be a big sister. Are you…are you guys excited?” There’s a moment of silence before your daughter launches herself into your arms.

“I get a brover or sissy!” She places two smacking kisses on your cheek. “Mama! I is so happy!”

“You are, baby?” 

“Yeah!” Bianca squeals. “Gonna teach dem everything. How to color and dance and I gonna keep dah monsters away…” Your happy girl goes on and on and on.

Andy just looks at you, tears shimmering in his eyes. “Baby number two. You wanna do this again with me?” You take his hand.

“There’s no one else in the world that I would rather do this with, especially the second time around. You ridiculous man.” You press a kiss to his knuckles. 

“I love you, Y/N. I love you. I love you. I love you.”

You’re not sure how it happens, but somehow, some way, you two end up dancing around the kitchen, both of you holding Bianca in your arms. 

___

Six Months In…

Bianca joins you on the couch holding a book in her hands. She rests a small hand on your growing belly. 

“Hi.” She leans down to whisper. “Dunno if you is sleepin’ but this is big sister talkin’. I is tellin’ you I love you, and I here to read you a story. Mama and Daddy read me stories tuh help me sleep all duh time. Dis’ help you sleep. It’s called The Cat in the Hat.”

You loved this. So far, BiBi hadn’t shown any real signs of jealousy regarding the baby. She talked to them all the time. Asked them questions. Tried to get them to watch movies with her. Which had been interesting when you had to explain that the baby couldn’t really see what was happening on the TV. So then she had decided to narrate the entire movie to her sibling.

It had proved to be a wonderful distraction, because you and Andy had just received some tough news. One of your baby’s kidneys was in distress, and there was a strong possibility that if it didn’t fix itself in utero, they would require emergency surgery as soon as they were born. 

And there was nothing you could do about it right now. There was no vitamin you could take. No workout. Nothing. All you could do was hope and pray.

Your husband was beside himself, but for your benefit he was trying his damnedest not to show it. 

But you two may or may not have held each other in the doctor’s office. He’d placed you in his lap and you’d rubbed his back. You both had needed comfort at that moment. 

“Mama. Help, pwease?” 

“Of course, BiBi. We’ll read it together.” You couldn’t wait until the day you could hold both of your babies at the same time. Please let that day come. 

“Following along with me, okay?” She nods her head. 

“The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day…”

___

Eight Months In…

“Our baby is a fighter.” Andy growls. “They are going to kick this shit in its ass, surgery or no surgery.”

“You’re right, baby.” 

“We are not going to lose our child. I fucking refuse.”

“No, we’re not gonna lose them.” You reassure your husband. “My OBGYN said our little goober’s vitals were looking better. Way better.”

“But still not good enough.” He huffs.

“But way better than they have been. Please stop pacing. I need you to have faith that this is all going to be okay. Please!”   

Andy gets down on his knees. “My sweet, sweet sugar plum. This is your Daddy talking, little one. I won’t lose you and I won’t lose your Mama. Understand?” He kisses your bare bump. “That will not happen!”

You laugh softly when your baby kicks. 

Taking Andy’s hand, you place it over that spot on your tummy, letting him feel the next kick. 

“They heard you, baby. They heard you.”

___

Three Weeks Later…

“Way to go, Y/N! Way to go!” Your OBGYN, Dr. Wilson, congratulates you. “Amazing job, Mama. I wish all my patients were as fierce as you!”

“You did so good, my love!” Andy coos at you from his place at your side. “I love you more than - shit it grows with each passing minute. And that’s not a goddamned line, it’s how I fucking feel. I just love you so damned much!” He leans down to kiss you, his tears of joy mingling with your own. 

“We’re gonna get her cleaned up. And then we’ll let you hold her before we take her to check some vitals, okay?”

You and Andy both nod. Your baby girl needed to be healthy. Please let her be healthy. 

“Do we have a name?” A kind nurse asks you.

You and your husband share a glance. You definitely had a name for your kickass baby. 

“Katrina Claire Barber.” Andy responds. 

You smile when they finally place her on your chest. “Welcome to the world, little KitCat. We love you. And we’re so happy to meet you. You’re gonna be just fine. You got that?”

And then she offers you a soft smile.

Season 3 Ramble#2 - “romance" lol ver.3

This month’s episode is all about romance, the third time around now and somehow I find myself with yet another tweak in format. Guess that just goes to show that love comes in many forms. In any case this month’s format isn’t that different from last time. I’ve still split my reads into 3 categories, the main difference is that the categories themselves have changed. Last time it was cute stuff, fucked up stuff and lewd stuff, this time I still have the cute category but I've switched out the other two based on this month’s reads, which I'll explain as we get to them.

So basically how this episode is gonna go is I'm gonna give my top reads this month in ascending order for each of those categories and then my top 1 reads before this month for the same.

Getting right into it the first category up is

Awww {basically v cute v innocent stuff}

#3) The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague (ongoing w 57 chapters, story & art by Miyuki Tonogaya)

This is an extremely simple but extremely cute story. The title pretty much summarizes it actually, the main character is the descendant of an ice demon, which is apparently not too strange in this world since he works a normal office job,,, and he has a crush on his cool, stoic, almost expressionless female colleague.

It's a pretty neat take on slow burns because one it's pointedly ice related, and secondly the ice guy’s emotions affect his environment, like if he gets too excited there'll be a blizzard or tiny snowmen will appear.. If you've ever had a crush on someone you know it's already hard enough to act natural or “be cool" so this guy has a pretty rough go of it.

The art is pretty nice but the characters, especially the wider cast leaves more than a bit to be desired. It actually almost kinda feels like the creator really just wanted to focus on the main two but the editor was like,, that's not how the real world works, especially not in an office... I do appreciate though that some of the wider cast includes different types of demons and it’s fun to see the different ways their emotions leak out, the different pairings, and so on.

As I said it’s an extremely simple story, almost feels like a 4 panel tbh, nothing I'd push too hard but it’s undeniably cute and makes for a super easy binge read or just something to pick up from time to time to escape the harshness of reality and indulge in the very cute but very absurd fantasy of a successful workplace romance… I think more than a few ppl have that one coworker you would if you could… but no… just no… leave it alone… leave it in fiction land my friend…

#2) Skip and Loafer (ongoing w 58 chapters, story & art by Misaki Takamatsu)

The story here follows our main heroine, a real go getter, who moved from the countryside to big city Tokyo for highschool, all so she could follow her dreams of being a politician and help out in rural areas around the country. Anyways she’s characterized as not being great at much else but studying, and in that spirit, gets lost on the way to her entrance ceremony. Here enters our main hero who’s also late but for the opposite reason, he’s super laid back, slept late and was considering just skipping but he felt sorry for this obviously lost but obviously trying girl so he decides to help her out and the story takes off from there.

Just wanna get out of the way that I love all the characters and their interactions with each other and especially within themselves. If anything, that's this manga’s strongest point. It makes the characters ooze real feelings that really feels in place for each where they are. Like not too dramatic where you wonder if they’re really highschool kids or even in school for that matter, and not too fantasy like where everything is perfect and it’s almost like characters are machines just filling a roll.

It kicks off pretty early on with engaging character interactions and the way they change and develop as the main cast gets to know each other is really endearing. I especially really really love the main heroine because she’s that innocent character type but it’s not done in that way that makes her this pure cinnamon roll that’s too good for this world, where nothing gets her down or she chooses peace and love every time. Her thing is that she’s basically socially inept and so she doesn’t really get when people are mean or even when they're being nice sometimes, but she’s all by herself in this new place so she’s trying and though she doesn’t always get it, it’s a real pleasure to see her grow.

It’s ongoing, only 58 chapters but there’s been a ton of realness and real growth in a bunch of ways for most of the cast packed in so far. Really can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Anyways, cool art, great cast, love the interactions and would definitely highly recommend this one.

#1) Horimiya (complete w 152 chapters, story by HERO & art by Daisuke Hagiwara)

The story here is that the main hero/heroine pair each have a hidden side to them that nobody else knows. At school, the heroine is always super put together but when she’s at home she’s too busy taking care of her little brother for all that and takes on a more homely caretaker persona (the art is shoujo leaning so she and most of the main cast pretty much always looks pretty). But anyways, at school, the hero is seen as a gloomy glasses wearing loner but when he leaves school he looks like he came out of a rock magazine. Tattoos and piercings everywhere. Anyways, this and that happens, the convenient plot is convenient and they end up becoming friends who hold each other’s secrets.

As much as the story kinda feels like shoujo perfect world fantasy stuff, and as much as it came out as top 1 largely because it’s complete, I think a small part of it might have been that a tiny part of me still wants to believe in, and might even still want that kind of “perfect” love. From the innocent buildup to the accumulation of every day special normals and beyond… but in any case, I did honestly like the theme of more and more of your true self coming to the surface and being able to show that true self to someone.

Overall, besides the main pairing, the cast was kinda weak, not bad, just pretty one dimensional But that one dimension was very cute and fluffy and this being a romance manga, it worked. What I will say though is that it took a while for the wider cast to come into play and even more for them to make me care, like not until late 50s heading into 70s did i care about anyone but the main pairing. Meanwhile skip and loafer only has about 50 chapters total and I was fully invested in the entire cast well before then.

But as I said, when the full horimiya cast rolls in it’s all very cute and I liked that they even made the platonic same sex relations pretty cute like yh guys just having fun and it’s not weirdly pervy in any direction, just another form of love yk.. v cool… Again it did have me yearning a bit like wow imagine having a life with both platonic AND romantic relationships being healthy and fulfilling.

Anywho,, pretty neat art, the story kinda just goes on ig but having in mind that it was a romance and it goes on in an increasingly cute way and all, i’d recommend it.

hm:

Even the Introverted Gals Wanna Get Out There! - pretty funny, maybe more funny than cute, also it’s girl on girl, think dead dead demon’s destruction but the main heroines actually get to live life and breath air, literally just vibing out in the club room after school (ongoing w about 6 chaps)

Train Man - Net Development, the Love Story of a Local Train: based on a true story apparently, basically a dude saves some people on a train and becomes friends with one of them and stuff take off from there (complete w 27 chapters)

ftr everything in the main list has an anime but i can’t speak on their status or quality

also ftr I'd definitely rate skip and loafer higher than horimiya overall but because this is the cuteness category, + horimiya is a complete story which I tend to favour for higher places in lists and stuff

next category up is

Dense & Denser

{this is basically when one or more of the characters are just oblivious to any love flags thrown their way}

#2) How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend (complete w 42 chapters, story & art by Takeshi Moriki, original LN story by Fumiaki Maruto)

Had never heard of this one before but the title pulled me in like how and why would one raise a boring girlfriend anyways?

The story here is that on the way to school the mc has an encounter with a mystery girl and it’s love at first sight, even though he didn’t see her face…. The mc is an anime/manga otaku much like myself, and this encounter inspires him to make a dating sim game, but after he happens to actually meet the mystery girl face to face, he finds that she’s actually kind of plain,, albeit in a cute sort of way. In any case the feeling of their first mystery meeting lives on so he pushes through with his idea, intending to transform this girl into his ideal heroine. The main story, relations and problems arise around him trying to get the dev team together for this game, and of course this being romance they’re all girls.

It’s all very funny in a very meta way, with commentary on anime/manga culture in most chapters, and the so called main heroine, being outside that culture, usually playing a very good straight man. It’s also meta in how the mc goes about getting his dev team together, as i said they’re all girls so it’s almost like his life becomes a dating sim in trying to woo them into his harem… i mean game dev team…

In any case I’m not even actually sure the mc really counts as romantically dense or if he was just so committed to the bit of being a single weeb undeserving of love that he just pretended not to notice all the pretty loud romantic undertones,,, but maybe that's a type of density in itself… a younger me can def relate… being committed to the bit is a lifestyle… bed is bae… anyways it’s kind of ecchi but still surprisingly good in both the romance and meta aspects. Pretty good art, they made a decision to keep the cast compact and it worked out very nicely. It wraps up in just under 50 chapters but I will say each chapter is pretty dense and can be a bit word heavy. Would recommend.

#1) Monthly Girls’ Nozaki (ongoing w 148 chapters, story & art by Izumi Tsubaki)

This story follows our main heroine as she tries to get the attention of her crush, who is our mc. In approaching him she finds out he’s actually her favourite romance manga creator and through this and that ends up working on it with him as an assistant to try and get closer to him.

Right off the bat I think everyone in this cast is pretty dense but man is the main hero just the most dense mf in the universe. I feel sorry for the main heroine cause she knows but she’s just so down bad for him she kinda becomes dense to how down bad she is. In any case every chapter takes the form of a series of connected 4 panel stories and it’s pretty funny throughout.

The wider cast is pretty neat, nothing too crazy but as i said they’re all pretty dense in their own weird ways so the interactions are usually funny. The art is solid, cast is okay, pretty funny, would recommend for sure.

ftr both have an anime not sure of status or quality

and again ftr i’d rank boring girlfriend over monthly girls’ in general, especially as it’s complete it’s just that this is the dense & denser category and monthly girls’ nozaki is definitely dense central, like black hole event horizon density my friends…

and the last category

That’s Rough Buddy

{a direct reference to avatar when sokka told prince zuko his girlfriend turned into the moon and his response was “that’s rough buddy”, this category is different from the that’s fucked up category I used in very.2 in that these focus more on emotional turmoil and have no physical violence and so on}

#3) Kowloon Generic Romance (ongoing w 61 chapters, story & art by Jun Mayuzuki)

This is kind of eh tbh, cool art, and it’s kind of a mystery as to what’s goin on, so much so that I don’t think I can describe it without spoiling so i’ll lean on the anilist/yen press summary a bit here which is as follows:

“Welcome to Kowloon Walled City: a dystopian townscape where the people are brimming with nostalgia, and where the past, present, and future converge. Amid the hidden emotions and extraordinary daily lives of the men and women working in its confines, a tale of romance begins to unfold for real estate agent Reiko Kujirai—one that feels as familiar as Kowloon itself…”

I doubt that told you anything but I hope it sparks some intrigue, I will say it has a good number of dope one liners, and if i’m being honest the main characters smoke a lot which is an aesthetic I love for some reason so sue me…

Not much else to say tbh, nice art as I said, it’s pretty cool, okay cast, the story is pulling a bit but the bait isn’t that strong, though the aesthetics of it all has definitely caught my eye so I will be keeping up with it after this month… i wouldn’t push it as a recommendation that hard but there’s only 61 chapters rn so no real loss if you do decide to check it out

#2) How Do We Relationship? (ongoing w 115 chapters, story & art by tamifull)

The story here is that the main heroines are gay and in reality no matter how much the media and conservatives want ppl to believe that homosexuality and homosexuals are accepted and normalized in society, in fact that anything but being heterosexual and cisgender passing is accepted & normalized, that’s simply not the case in real life. I live in jamaica and man, not that I really care, but I could get shunned just for reading stuff with gays in it… In any case that’s the sort of reality the main heroines live in which was cool for its realness as they were/are hiding the fact that they're gay, but in any case plot plot plot they end up going out….

This is the “that’s rough buddy” category so I think it’s okay to spoil that it doesn’t go smoothly though I won’t go into further detail. I will mention a really cool thing the author said in an afterword where they say that a lot of romance stories tend to build towards and end at the start of the main characters getting into a relationship, but life isn’t like that. There’s life after that and that’s sort of what they wanted to illustrate. The life after a relationship…. Sounds like a spoiler but remember there’s more than just our heroines in the story. there’s a whole wider cast and they’re all pretty great. each having their own relationship troubles or lack thereof, ideas and philosophies on love and etc.

Pretty solid art, in fact it really reminds me of yokohama shopping log, so much so that i’m convinced it’s a fanfiction created just to make the characters from that series actually full on gay. Pretty solid cast, a story that gets more and more engaging as it goes on though it’s pretty solid from the start. would definitely highly recommend though it can be a bit tumultuous like damn you guys just never gonna be stable huh??

#1) Chobits (complete w 88 chapters, story & art by CLAMP an all woman manga group formed in the mid 1980s made of Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki lgarashi)

I’d always seen this around and always as the profile picture for some more than suspicious internet accounts… the vibe it gave off in my periphery view was just horrendous tbh but i took the dive and it was worth it, obviously, coming in at #1.

The story here is that in the future, the world is inhabited by humans who live alongside their extremely powerful computers called persocoms, that are shaped to look and act almost human. numerous stories have taken this angle so I think you can imagine the effects that would have on society, but in any case the story follows our mc who recently moved from the countryside to the city and ends up finding one in the trash that he takes in and starts to take care of. The thing is their memory is corrupted so he has to teach them everything, but soon enough the mystery of the discarded persocom comes to light and their abilities could change the world.

All that pompous stuff aside the theme of discerning the shape of love and who deserves it was pretty cool, the mc was bleh and so was most of the cast but the last few chapters and the questions they posed were enough, especially the origin story of the persocom like damn… that’s rough as fuck buddy,, def kinda weird but my condolences all the same…. Art was okay… and yh i’d recommend it..

hm:

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

Top Combo

Video Girl Ai (complete w 131 chapters, story & art by Masakazu Katsura)

This was probably my fav read this month, somewhere between this, boring girlfriend and skip & loafer but this definitely has the best combinations of the different categories I was working with this month.

Again this is something I'd seen floating around for the longest and associated with more than sus accounts but it was pretty good.

The lazy story is that the mc is a lame with no game and his crush ends up confessing to his best friend in front of him. obviously distraught he ends up renting what he thinks is a porn tape.. which I guess it technically is but it's supernatural in that the girl comes out of the TV and tries to mend the viewers’ heart.

Things get super complicated and it turns into the weirdest love polygon I've ever seen, lots of back and forth and dilly dallying but I enjoyed it. The art was great, had a great classic feel, there's more than a bit of ecchi but it's not entirely distasteful or weirdly out of context, the characters and their interactions were a bit exasperating with the back and forth, loves me loves me not stuff but that had its own entertainment value, and in any case I'd recommend it

now moving onto stuff from before this month, which I won't get into details for as I've spoken on them in previous versions which I'm encouraging you to go listen to or read the transcripts for,,

make us a special place (Robin x Nancy)

a/n: I haven't written in a long time, but then someone said childhood au and here we are.

Big thanks to @dimplesridley and @redwineandnicotine for listening to me yell about these two for months on end.

summary: Nancy has a terrible day (until she doesn't)

AO3 link

(word count: 2,134)

Nancy has a terrible day, by far the worst she’s had all year. Sure, it’s only September, but fifth grade is off to a rough start. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong. She just knows that she failed that math test (she didn't but she doesn't know that yet – all she knows is how uncertain she felt about her answers). Somehow, she ended up with Mike's lunch instead of her own, and the sandwich was all wrong and there were no cookies. And worse – it means Mike got her cookies. The teacher had yelled at the whole class and punished all of them for something that one single boy did, which was totally unfair. And worst of all, Robin was absent for a doctor's appointment pretty much all day, giving Nancy a wave as she was called out of class in the morning. It left Nancy alone for most of the day, sitting by herself at lunch, partner-less for reading hour, walking home with no one to keep her company. When Nancy gets home, her dad is there, unexpectedly, and he is utterly himself – aloof and disinterested. Nancy immediately goes up to her room, drops her backpack, and flops onto the floor dramatically.

Robin has her own frustrating day, and she’s looking forward to seeing Nancy and getting away from her mom. When Robin finally manages to escape to the Wheeler house, she doesn't even ring the doorbell. She just comes right in (Karen had given her permission to, practically encouraged it, even). But before she makes it to the stairs, Karen waves her into the kitchen.

"Nancy had a rough day," Karen starts, and she fills Robin's arms with snacks and a couple of sodas. "You girls try to have some fun, and I'll call you down later for dinner, okay?"

Robin nods and Karen ruffles Robin's hair affectionately.  Robin pulls a face and ducks away like she hates it, but they both know she doesn’t.

When Robin gets up to Nancy's room, struggling to open the door with her arms full of junk food, Nancy is still on the floor by the bed, an arm slung over her face, covering her eyes.

"Mom," Nancy groans, "I said I don't want anything."

Robin dumps their haul on the bed. "Good thing I'm not your mom then," she laughs. "Because I brought so much stuff. Your mom even gave us cookies, Nance. Cookies. Before dinner."

Nancy pouts, lifts her arm up just a little bit to peek at Robin, who was staring down at her, one foot tapping against Nancy's. Robin drops to the ground after a moment, slides up next to Nancy and lays down with her. The floor is hard and Robin wiggles a little bit, one arm bumping Nancy's side, and it kind of tickles.

"How was the doctor?" Nancy asks.

Robin shrugs. "It was fine. Really boring. We had to sit in the waiting room forever." Robin knows the answer but she asks anyway: "how 'bout you? How was your day?"

Nancy groans. "Today was the worst day," she announces.

Robin tries to look over at her, but she's met with the sight of one bony elbow covering up her best friend's face. "Wanna talk about it?" she offers.

Nancy shakes her head and the motion makes her arm come dangerously close to smacking Robin in the face. "No," and she's still feeling so dramatic after her stressful day. "I'm just gonna lay here like this forever," she declares.

Robin hums, taps her fingers against her stomach, fidgets a bit before sitting up abruptly and crawling towards the closet. She starts digging around and just as Nancy is about to look to see what she's doing, a blanket lands right on her face, followed by a pillow.

"Oof," and Nancy finally shows her face, pushing the blanket and pillow off. Robin is already tossing more blankets and pillows out on the floor, every single spare one she can find tucked into Nancy's closet.

"What are you doing?" she asks.

Robin, satisfied she's retrieved all the blankets and pillows in the closet, stands up. "Making a blanket fort," she says like it should be obvious. "The floor is hard. If we're gonna be laying on it forever, it's gotta be more comfortable."

This is one of those little moments where Nancy feels her heart swell up when she looks up at her best friend, and she has to swallow the lump in her throat for the affection and warmth that flood through her. Robin never even asks, never protests, never presses Nancy; Robin just accepts that if Nancy wants to lay on this floor forever, that's what they are going to do.

There are two desk chairs in Nancy’s room, one of them a folding chair supplied by Mr. Wheeler, who was tired of Robin struggling to drag their dining room chairs up and down the stairs. Robin is already in the process of moving their chairs when Nancy starts to sit up. Robin stops her. "Whoa, no way, Wheeler. You're already in your spot, you're glued there forever," she says, affecting a dramatic voice that makes Nancy smile a little bit. Which just spurs Robin on. "Trapped by a very bad day. Alas, you must stay." Robin gives her a grin. "I got this, princess," she says, a little quieter but no less earnest, voice determined.

Nancy's cheeks turn pink and she lays back again.

Robin makes quick work of her fort. She drapes blankets over their chairs, which she sets a little ways from the bed, leaving enough space between the bed and the chairs for both her and Nancy, who stays put, just as she'd been told. Robin ends up having to tie some of the blankets together, big knots in the corners, to reach the bed. She piles all the biggest books she can find on top of the blankets to keep them on the bed. When she's satisfied, she drapes a thinner blanket over top, covering up the open spaces made by the knotted blankets. 

This leaves Nancy hidden away from the world, surrounded on all sides by soft pinks and blues. (Because Robin has chosen some of Nancy's favorites for the inner layer and for the inside.) She hears shuffling outside and then Robin pops her head in, smiling. 

Robin crawls in, bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sun coming through the soft cream of the sheet facing the window. She has all their snacks in her hands and she drops them by the little entrance, ducks back out quickly to grab their drinks and add them to their pile of Karen-provided goodies.

Robin sits on her knees, ducks a little bit to keep from hitting the top of the fort she's put together in record time. She's holding a pillow, one of the big soft ones that she knows Nancy likes to sink down into. "So, you might have to move a little bit for this part," she bites her lip.

Nancy can't hold back her grin anymore, and she sits up fully.

Robin places the pillow in her hands carefully on the ground, right where Nancy's head had been, and then she grabs another pillow and drops it next to Nancy's. She places the other pillows around the outside of the fort, covering up some of the spots where the blankets didn't quite reach to the floor.

Nancy just sits there and watches her, still smiling despite herself. She shifts, leans back against the bed, tucking a pillow behind her. 

Robin starts working on the remaining blankets next. She lays one out where Nancy had been, tucking the end under the pillow. Nancy is still sitting up from her initial spot, so when Robin tries to smooth out the blanket, it only gets halfway before it meets Nancy's knees.

Robin is determined though, and she gives Nancy a big grin before she starts poking the blanket, trying to tuck it under Nancy's leg. 

Nancy can't stop from laughing before she moves, fixing the blanket herself until she's sitting on it.

Robin puts a blanket down for herself, pushes a couple off to either side.

"Your royal, I dunno, blanket," Robin laughs.

Nancy launches herself at Robin, throws her arms around Robin's shoulders suddenly. Robin tilts back, but steadies herself, returning Nancy's hug, arms wrapped around Nancy's waist.

Robin holds her there. She's never quite sure how long hugs are supposed to go on, so she almost always waits until the other person pulls away before she does. (The other person hugging her is almost always Nancy, and she's in no hurry to pull away from her anyway.)

But not only does Nancy not let go, she drags them both down to the blanket-covered floor until they're both laying down again.

They're facing each other, heads close together despite being on different pillows. Nancy's arm is still draped over Robin's shoulder, so Robin takes this as a cue that she can leave her own arm thrown over Nancy's middle. And she's glad for that, because it all feels right to her. Their legs are pressed together and Nancy's fingers are dancing across her shoulder. And there's nowhere else she'd rather be.

Nancy looks up at her from beneath her lashes, almost shyly. "Thank you, Robin," she whispers, like she's afraid to disturb the comfortable quiet between them.

"Any time," Robin whispers back with a soft smile. There's a warmth blossoming in her chest, spreading through her, filling up her insides until she thinks she's going to stop breathing. A feeling she doesn't know how to name, but one that feels better than any other has, more natural, like air or sunlight or warm summer rain. She grabs it and holds on tightly and hopes it will never end.

They lay there for a moment, and Robin's fingers drum lightly against Nancy's side.

"Hey, Nance?" she keeps her voice quiet to match the moment.

"Hmm?"

"They're homemade cookies," Robin whispers conspiratorially. "Your mom's homemade cookies," she adds, and her fingers squeeze Nancy, tighten for a second. "She gave us cookies before dinner, and I'm afraid if we don't eat 'em soon, she's gonna realize and take them away."

Nancy swats her shoulder, pushing her back a little, but she's still smiling. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Robin sits up, finding the plate of cookies where she left them, and she brings it up between them. As she does this, Nancy grabs a blanket and tosses it over both their legs.

And that's where Karen finds them a little later when she comes to the door of Nancy's bedroom. All she can see are Robin's feet sticking out from beneath a blanket, but she can hear them giggling inside the little fort they've made. They don't hear her slip inside, so she quietly leaves. Downstairs, she puts together two plates of food. She gives Nancy an extra bread roll, covered in garlic butter and parmesan, just the way she likes, and she makes sure that the foods on Robin's plate don't touch. To Michael's jealous protests, Karen heads back to Nancy's room. She'll let them eat in the bedroom just this once (it will end up not being just this once.) 

And it's worth it for the bright smiles on their faces when Karen announces her presence, crouching down and knocking on one of the desk chairs to get their attention. They're all cozy when she peeks in, all wrapped up in each other beneath a blanket. Robin is holding a book, had been reading aloud to Nancy, offering her own running commentary as she did so, just to keep making Nancy laugh.

"I brought dinner up," Karen tells them. Nancy gasps and Robin's eyes widen. "Don't make me regret it," she adds, passing them each a plate. A warning not to make a mess, but she's smiling as she says it.

She pulls the door closed behind her, leans back against it for a moment. 

She hears Robin's voice inside. "Nancy, I love your mom. But I think someone must have replaced her with an alien or something."

"She's not an alien, Rob." She can picture Nancy's eye roll, can hear the laughter in her voice.

"I dunno. Cookies before dinner. And now dinner is in your room! I never thought I'd see the day."

"We've eaten in my bedroom."

"But not dinner, Nance. Not a whole meal! Nope, something's up in the Wheeler house."

Karen doesn't hear Nancy's quiet response but she does hear the laughter that follows, Robin's first and then Nancy's right after. They're happy, and Karen will let them have this, wants them to have this just a little while longer, as long as they can.

i know we talk a lot about Eddie with a corruption kink, but what about Steve?

warnings: perv eddie, steve and eddie have a thing for feet, talk of religion

Steve Harrington who spent so much time being the golden boy, worrying about what everyone else thought of him and now he feels like he fell from grace, and surprisingly, it’s not that bad.

But it’s lonely, sure he’s got Eddie and Robin, and Nancy on occasion, but he wants someone of his own. And then he meets you. And you’re…. well you’re just perfect. Sweet little girl who always does what she’s told, goes to mass every Sunday, gets straight A’s and graduated from Hawkins High Suma Cum Lade.

Steve falls hard, and fast. And before you know it you’re with him nearly every second of the day. You’re best friends. Except you have deeper.. more intimate feelings for him.. and it eats you up inside until you finally burst and admit

“Steve Harrington i’m in love with you”

and he kisses you and it’s your first kiss and you really feel the sparks flying.

From then on you’re his girl, his darling, his baby. And you couldn’t be happier. You don’t even mind his more.. unsavory habits. Or the fact that he’s friends with Eddie Munson, a boy your father told you to stay away from.

For three months your relationship with Steve is perfect. He makes you feel like a princess, like the most beautiful girl alive, and you want to make him feel as good as he makes you feel. You want to take your relationship to the next level, so you do some research.

You sneak into your father’s office late at night to look things up online, you timidly ask Eddie to borrow some porn magazines, which he allows you to do, but he demands for you to “pay him back” somehow and takes an odd picture of your dainty little feet in your socks and sends you in your way saying

“Man Steve’s gonna loose it over this”

And soon you’re ready for your mission.

You invite Steve over for movies at yours one night when your parents are out, and everything is lovely. While he’s distracted by Fast Times, you start running your hand over his thigh, bringing it up, up, up, until it stops at his crotch. He barely notices until you’re gently, nervously, pawing it at it, and when he does notice he whips his head to meet your gaze.

“Baby.. what’re you doin?”

“I.. I..” you stammer, and you feel yourself start to flush as you look away. “I just wanted to make you feel good” Steve coos, shifting both of you until you’re sitting in his lap and he’s holding your face in his hand “Wanted to make me feel good, ‘s that why you went to Eddie’s begging for those dirty magazines? Why you let him take pictures of your cute little feet.” Your gaze meets his, your eyes widening as you feel hot tears start to pool in your lashes.

“I.. I didn’t think..” You whimper, the tears starting to roll down your cheeks as Steve coos “Oh baby you didn’t do anything wrong, ‘s just that you’re so innocent, didn’t think you’d do something like that.” Steve tilts your chin up until your gaze meets his once more.

“You wanna make me feel good?” He asks, and you nod. His eyes brighten as his lips pull back to reveal a soft smile, and he starts to manhandle you off his lap and onto the floor, positioning you so you’re kneeling in front of him as he stands, starting to fiddle with his belt.

For a moment you’re confused, and then he shucks his pants off, and his boxers soon follow and you’re met face to… well face to head with his weepy cock.

For just a moment you marvel at it, you never thought such an intimate area could be so pretty.. but Steve’s never been in the habit of proving you right. He’s tan, and thick, and you worry about how it’ll fit inside you when you feel Steve’s hands back on your face, his hands gently prying your pretty mouth open.

“Alright babydoll, all you gotta do is keep that pretty mouth of yours open for me. kay?” He says with a smile, and you nod, doing as you’re told. When he starts to slide his cock into your waiting mouth you moan just a little, you never expected it to feel so smooth, so soft, but it does. It tastes musky in your mouth, which you don’t mind, but before you can savor it, Steve’s hips are pulling out and he’s thrusting back into your mouth gently.

“Gotta.. gotta fuck, gotta start training your throat little doll” You don’t know what he means, but you nod anyways, not wanting this moment to end. His hips stutter and he curses above you, and you look up to see his pretty face pinched in frustration. “Fuck haven’t had a blowie in forever.. don’t.. don’t wanna blow my load but dammit your mouth feels like heaven babydoll.”

You smile up at him, as best you can with your mouth filled, and he curses again, continuing his gentle pace thrusting in and out of your mouth. Unsure of what to do with your hands you bring them up to rest on his thick, hairy thighs, and you sigh softly, the vibrations making Steve curse again.

This goes on for what feels like hours, although in reality it’s probably been no less than ten minutes. Steve thrusting in and out of your mouth gently, and reminding you to breathe through your nose.

His hips start to stutter and you look up again to see him biting his lip, and he runs a hand through your hair. “Alright baby, gonna give you my load okay? try and swallow it all. fuck, fuck fuck fuck”

He whines softly and the next thing you know, a warm, sticky substance is filling your mouth and leaking past your lips. You do your best to swallow it all as Steve keeps gently thrusting, but his cum becomes frothy and more dribbles out of your mouth before he completely pulls out. Both of you panting from the activity.

“What a good girl, letting me fuck your mouth. You’re so fucking good to me.” Steve says, and you’re giggling softly. Wiping your mouth as he pulls you close. He places a soft kiss on your forehead, before getting up to slip his boxers on. When he turns back to you he’s got a wolfish grin and he strips off his shirt, climbing onto the couch with you before asking

“So when do i get to pop your cherry?”
