STRESS RELIEF | KAZUHA

IN WHICH: you're a picture perfect student who does nothing but study. he's a slacker who never misses a smoke sesh, but this time, you're invited.

contents- usage of marijuana

(not proofread)

the white haired boy always came late to class with nothing but a joint tucked inbetween his ear, or, some days if he's feeling extra studious, he'd replace it with a pencil. his bandaged hands were always empty, and fiddled with his red lighter under his desk in order to keep himself entertained as lecture continued.

so it was a great shock to you when after various amounts of awkward eye contact, he finally spoke to you, making an unexpected request.

"will you help me study?"

you were a straight A student, always the first one to finish tests, constantly studying in lab, and you never missed a day of class. maybe you were too good of a student and it caused you to lack friends, as your attention was always in the dimly lit screen of your laptop, hurrying to finish up an essay way before it's due date.

however, after some convincing, well more like, constant pestering from kazuha, you finally agreed.

you'd help him study at his place tonight.

that's what you agreed to anyway.

but what you didn't agree to was the high amount of awkward tension that arose between the two of you as he sat close to you, almost hovering over you as he "read" from your textbook.

"it's really not that difficult to understand. maybe let's revise it once more." you suggested, as you slowly scooted away from him.

he slightly threw his head down and let out an amused smirk at your rejection. "god, you read shit like this 24/7 while sober? i commend you." kazuha said, leaning his arm against the table as he turned his body to face you.

"well in what state am i supposed to study in? because it's certainly not drunk nor high." you sighed as you erased his math work, handing him the paper in order to redo it. "you got number 5 & 8 wrong."

he ignored your attempt at changing the topic. "you're always so caught up with your study, do you ever let loose?"

you stayed silent for a bit. you really haven't ever "let loose", you've never had time for it. but to you, it was a little lame, so you decided to lie. "yeah."

"liar."

"i'm not lying."

kazuha let out a small chuckle at your persistence. "so, you wouldn't mind rolling up right now then?"

"rolling up? uh, like, a joint?" you questioned, slightly raising your brow in suspicion.

"yeah. a joint. believe it or not, it'll help us focus a bit more. maybe i'll finally get question 5 right."

you were a bit taken aback by how casually he suggested smoking. it's not like you had anything against it but it just wasn't...you.

so you had no idea how you ended up actually considering it. i mean, exams were approaching, so you've been doing nothing but slaving yourself in the library, and as much as you hated to admit it. you were stressed beyond belief, and somehow, kazuha noticed this as well.

--maybe that's why you both ended up taking long drags of the blunt he'd rolled. with you coughing almost every time you pulled.

kazuha was nothing but amused right now. he wasn't expecting you to actually agree, and it was almost weird to him to see you like this. "so, how are you feeling?" he asked, ashing the blunt on the table before he took another pull.

"i feel okay, i guess." you lied once again. you were definitely feeling the effects of the weed. your mind that was once only filled with anxiety and stress of the next due date of your assignments was now at peace, and you were definitely more aware of your surroundings.

and you couldn't help but notice just how attractive this slacker was.

the red streak on his bangs contrasted his platinum white hair that was tied into a messy half up half down updo, but enhanced his deep red eyes that looked down at the blunt placed inbetween his lips as he relit it.

he finally spoke again as he was able to relight the blunt, taking a long pull and blowing it almost directly in your face. "wanna feel even better?" his voice was low, as sultry as the corners of his mouth curved into a mischievous smirk.

"like, how?"

kazuha placed his free hand on your thigh, slowly running it further up to your inner thigh as he leaned himself close to you, his marijuana scented breath tickling your neck as he spoke.

"allow me to help you relieve some stress."

kazuha looked back at you, his usual softly hued red eyes now burnt with lust as he watched you, awaiting your response.

you were silent for a while, as the blunt burned slowly in his fingers, the smoke seemed to be the only thing that moved as everything else seemed perfectly still.

kazuha took another pull of the blunt that had significantly shortened in size. but this time, he didn't inhale it fully, he kept it in his mouth, moving the smoke side to side before he grabbed your chin, pulling your face only centimeters away from his.

he slightly opened his mouth, the smoke now more dense as it lingered within. you were slightly confused as you copied his movements, hesitantly opening yours as well.

kazuhas lips grazed against yours as he blew the smoke into your mouth, this caught you off guard, but you inhaled it nevertheless.

he didn't move his face away from yours as you inhaled the smoke. instead, his lips met yours, kissing you deeply. the taste of mint mixed with the marijuana that lingered on his tongue intoxicated you, causing you to return the kiss.

you slightly opened your mouth, allowing his soft tongue to enter, intertwining with yours as the kiss deepened and became more erotic. he pressed his body against yours further, pushing you down onto the couch.

kazuha was laying now on top of you, his hand still gripping your thigh as he slowly moved it up and down in a sensual manner. whilst his other hand still holding the blunt that was still lit.

your soft moan of pleasure and the way you interlocked your fingers into the back of his head, gripping a handful of his hair, pushing his lips deeper into yours seemed to be his turning point as he put out the blunt by pressing his against the table, refusing to break the kiss.

"you've ever been kissed like this?" his lips grazing against yours as he spoke.

"...no."

he seemed to have liked this answer as you felt his cold fingers tease your skin when he slipped his hand under your shirt and under your bra, kissing you once more, biting and sucking your tongue every time it entered his mouth.

the tension between you two was only rising as the kiss became more intimate. your body which rose in temperature was fully pressed against his, and you could feel him harden against you.

kazuha bit your bottom lip as he pulled away from the kiss, his hand still caressing your thigh in a suggestive manner.

you took a deep breath as you looked at him, and the awkwardness that was once there was now replaced by high sexual tension that pervaded throughout the room.

"i'll take you up on that offer." you finally answered.

Legacies 1x04 Rewatch:

Just seeing all the comic book decor in MG's room makes me so sad that we never got to see him and Landon geek out together

The amount of (lame) TVD cameos in S1 was wild considering they did not keep that energy up

If I had a nickel for every time the Salvatore School made a fake exchange program with Mystic Falls High over a murder, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

"Who are you and what did you do with Hope Mikaelson?" Just you wait ...

The blatant use of TVD scenes for the exterior shots of MFHS and they couldn't even match the green filter of Legacies

Lizdon best friendism!!!

"Try not to deliberately alienate the entire student body." "I tried to be her friend when I was five and when I was nine and when I was thirteen." "I'm sorry we couldn't see why you were hurting back then." SCREAMING.

"Would you like to be the Robin to my Batwoman?" "Batwoman doesn't have a Robin." "Metaphor." FOR LESBIANISM.

"I'm working on offensive spells." Maybe we should've known she was blood thirsty from the start

Rosie and Finsie both have a breakfast scene BUT NOT JANDON OR POSIE. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?

No because how did Josie have Raf so wrapped around her finger and still manage to come up with a fake sob story about Lizzie winning him

Baby Handon, my beloveds

Hope 🤝 Lizzie 🤝 Accusing MG of failing at compulsion

Lizzie being so grossed out by MG's unrelenting advances and him STILL not getting the message. Oh I hate what this rewatch is doing to my best boy.

"Dana is dead." Oh no ... what are we gonna do ...

"I expect you to be with Hope when I do" hits so much harder knowing about 4x06

"You are a horrible liar." "I suck at lying." Okay Lizzie I see you

We were robbed of Cheerleader!Hope, even in an AU

I still need someone to edit "They're a gift from Cheryl" into a Hope Mikaelson x Cheryl Blossom edit

"Relax, Eeyore." Hope, your Lizzie is popping out.

"I don't even like any of you" but we all know who she's best friends with in the Human AU

Jed truly was terrible in the beginning. Like who is that? I don't know him. Bully!Jed isn't real unless you believe in him.

"I'm a feminist." You're a liar is what you are actually.

I really do miss S3 actual feminist MG. Bring him back to me already.

The casual Dana E.D. jokes were ... certainly a choice for a 2019 show ...

The Kaleb x Landon dynamic deserved more

"Years of practice with Lizzie" and we never once get to see it. Like??

"You're dead if you don't submit." I'm sorry but like has a werewolf student ever actually been murdered for not joining the pack? I feel like we would've heard about that.

"It's Sasha." Was Sasha even at the flag football game? How do they know her?

BASES IT OFF OF GREEK LORE. OH THE GREEK GODS SET UP WAS THERE. IT WAS THERE.

"My money's on your boyfriend." "He's not my boyfriend." She just wanted to hear you say it, sweetie.

"Whatever spun this is gonna come back and eat us." We couldn't be that lucky. Imagine how much better the series would have been.

I still ship Connor x Josie. I don't care.

Landon rushing in to save Josie. Oh Jandon serves whether you want to admit it or not.

The S1 Core 6 did not get enough scenes together

THE MOMENT IT ALL CHANGED FOR LIZZIE. OH GOD OH GOD. HOLD ON TIGHT.

THINGS ARE SHIFTING.

"I'm a twin. I don't do anything solo." You just spent the entire episode without Lizzie because being a hero is too much pressure??? You spent the whole last episode apart from her too???? It's only the fourth episode?????

It's almost laughable how much Josie lies. Like every other word out of her mouth is straight up false and she knows it.

Still think Jed x Rafael should have had a thing.

I miss this Handon angst. THIS. THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF. Not the circular conflict they got stuck in later.

"Being a hero is not more important than being safe." This is your suicidal daughter, my dude. She does not care about being safe.

"She thinks she's too good to give you the time of day." Actually it's

"Don't disrespect her like that. We got enough monsters out here as it is. We cannot become one of them." MG YOU DIDN'T DIE THE HERO. YOU LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME THE VILLAIN. GOD DAMN IT.

Wait a minute. Josie was stuck in a spider web, almost dying, and Landon saved the day instead of Penelope Park making an appearance? Penelope would have never.

"If you threaten my kids, Sheriff, I'll be the one coming for you." No, maybe I get it. Maybe I do still get the attraction.

Alright bisch , im doing this

*slams my resume on your desk

K so Hi! I'm Noodles as you know by now and I go by she/they . Currently unemployed and finishing school and 18 years old.

Appearance wise I'm pretty lanky and tall(5'11) with short grey hair and blue eyes. I wear shit ton of hoodies and casual clothes that are more practical than for looks. (Side effect is I have always smth in my pockets like pens or money or gum, it's like Blackhole)

This feels weird talking about personality but hey whatever dhdh. I'm clearly an introvert but surprisingly I can thrive in social events too. I can easily talk to strangers and I would say even charm them if I put my mind to it , it just simply has a limit and after a while I fizzle out and feel like not talking. I like to give people things and help in any way, it brings me more joy than anything which translates into not handling affection well. I'm pretty chill and laid back compared to some people , I don't involve myself into dramas or issues since I prefer to watch afar. Even though I secretly might wanna punch some people who can't take the hint.(Violence is the answer sometimes kids) It's surprising how chill and unbothered I am but when shit goes down and I'm fed up I take the reigns and tell people what to do cause they're indecisive morons. It's not often but it fills me with pride when I can take the lead like this and people believe in me to be leader.

(I did the test but it's confusing a bit? If u know the other personality test I'm an INFP but thats a bit old now)

Some of my hobbies include drawing a shit ton of small doodles but never having the patience to stick with one piece too long. Piloting I would also consider a hobby , and reading and playing video games too in spare time. But lately taking walks has taken a big part in my life I have come to enjoy them too. I do bite my nails a lot unfortunately, old habit eeee

Likes and dislikes sheesh okay uh. I like people who don't lie about their feelings. Hate lies with passion. Those small white lies don't bother me but stuff like hiding your feelings and lying to another person's face whenever u like em or not makes my blood boil. I hate blueberries, lavender and coconut , Oblivious people and of course The current capitalistic system .

I like rats , snakes , birds ,cats and dogs of course . Creating anything brings me joy, whenever it be art , writing or even just ideas. My hands need to keep doing smth and creating is one way to do it. I also like winter and cold somehow , better than heat for sure

(U can go nsfw too but Its not a requirement btw heh)

(And for characters not to match with I don't think I'm comfy with mori much or nikolai sorryy)

Thank you for doing this event hon, and thank you for letting me participate , lov uuuuuuu

⚞ noodles x chuuya ⚟

⋆ ok first of all i know you dont like pink but i think its cute so suck it up

⋆ second of all. i rly wanted to be more creative and give you someone not super obvious but chuuya just works so well like that is ur man

⋆ third of all you will always be shipped with me above anyone else ok u know this

⋆ he is so fucking. gender. and sexy we discuss this often

⋆ above all else you are a fucking people pleaser even to ur own detriment dkfjdkjdf and i truly think chuuya is among the few people who wouldn't abuse this. he'd entertain you because he knows its fulfilling for you, but make sure you arent running yourself dry

⋆ he would indulge in your praise kink at every turn. not even just sexually although he def would be telling you (depending on position/situation) how sexy you look or how good you're being or how good ur fucking him

↣ in everyday life too! how much he appreciates you and how thankful he is for u. behind closed doors this man is so fucking soft no matter how steely he acts in front of others.

⋆ chuuya will so let you peg him in fact he will request this

⋆ chuuya is also not a liar (irl, probably lies his ass off to PM ppl) and really wants someone who he can trust to always be honest with him, because he def has trust issues.

⋆ he will not hide his feelings either. again he probably has a good ass poker face just bc . pm exec and all that but he will always be so straightforward because that's just how he is. you'd never have to worry about him stewing silently or secretly being pissed off

⋆ it irks him so bad how much taller you are but he tries to not let it get to him too bad dkfkdjkjfkj

⋆ "violence is sometimes the answer kids" i am 100% positive he has said that before at some point in his life

↣ he'd be a horrible enabler tho like you'd be ranting how much you want to kill a peer/coworker and he'd be like fucking do it. whats stopping you and ur like PRISON IS ??????

⋆ he's the same when it comes to avoiding unnecessary drama. he thinks it's dumb as fuck and has absolutely no interest in getting involved. but he does like shit talking with you at home fjkdfkjdfj or going on rants abt how much he fucking hates dazai and ur sitting on the couch as he paces around the room like. uh huh yes honey for sure

⋆ you'd def always be drawing or doodling sketches of him and the paper ones he'd keep all of them and store them bc he finds it so endearing

⋆ chuuya is the same exact way when it comes to an introvert that's able to be charming as fuck. like you'd be able to attend dinners or parties or whatever and charm everyone there but you leave after like an hour fkdfkdkjfdjk and then sit in silence on the couch watching tv to recharge

⋆ i dont think he'd be great about letting you be the leader/taking the reigns in situatiions honestly but you'd also completely trust him to not be a fucking idiot and trust his decisions so does it rly matter

⋆ why do you hate lavender. i love lavender. chuuya probably loves lavender

⋆ your ability to stay unbothered would be really good for him and his incredibly short (like him) temper. you'd be like the only person who could calm him down and get him to chill the fuck out literally please do this my guy is so high strung sometimes

⋆ he'd absolutely fucking obliterate your ass in any video games

⋆ power couple. can i be the third pls

⋆ IM SORRY I JUST CANT DO NSFW ABT YOU WITH ANYONE ELSE EVEN IF ITS FICTIONAL FJDJFJDF

⋆ love u

#:D #i wanted to add a keep reading but it kept glitching out sorry guys #chuuya x reader #matchmaking

"Why are you acting like this?" "I'm not acting like anything." for Elorcan if you're accepting prompts, please?

Hello, my dear nonnie. I’m aware you requested this more than a month ago but I finally finished this and I hope you like it! I’m not sure if you will even read it but if you do, thank you so much! The prompt was amazing and I’m happy with what I wrote.

Sidenote: I have a strong headcanon that whenever Elide gets mad, she swears like hell. Possibly more than what I wrote.

Another note to all the people: My inbox is open so you can send in requests. Just be aware that it might be a while till I respond to them but I am determined to answer them.

Lorcan found himself opening the door with an annoyingly loud creak. He cursed himself mentally for not being quieter and closed the door silently, walking past the hallway only to see Elide sitting in a large chair, fuming at him. This was not going to go well. Her arms were crossed and there was a furious expression on her face as her jaw clenched.

“ I’m sorry,” Lorcan said immediately.

“ Sorry doesn’t cut it, Lorcan! You don’t lie to me these many goddamn times,” she yelled at him, her hands curled into fists and at her sides as she stood up. “ Do you know how worried I get when I wake up in the middle of the night and you’re still not at home? You know how scared I get when I don’t see you until early in the morning? I’m tired of dealing with your bullshit!” She marched up to him and slapped him. Hard. Lorcan stood where he was but lifted a hand to feel the stinging on his face. He was suddenly yanked down by the collar to meet her fiery eyes as she growled, “ You tell me where you go at night and we stop arguing right now.”

“ I can’t, Elide,” Lorcan replied as he tried to reach out for Elide, who only shook her head and stepped away. He wasn’t ready. Wasn’t ready for her to run away from him the moment he told her. He didn’t want to lose her.

“ Like hell you can’t tell me!” Elide yelled back, pushing at his chest. “ I moved into this apartment two months ago for us. Don’t you dare throw away our relationship for the sake of keeping your stupid secrets!”

“ I’m not throwing away our relationship, Elide!” Lorcan said, his voice growing higher as his anger rose.

“ Aren’t you?” She asked, bitterly laughing, “ You don’t fucking lie to me, Lorcan. You do not come into this goddamn apartment night after night and hide things from me. Why are you acting like this?” She growled at him out of anger and despair.

“ I’m not acting like anything,” he replied and took a step towards her.

“ Don’t you fucking dare come close to me,” she snarled at him, taking several steps back from him. “ I don’t want to touch a liar,” she spat at him.

Lorcan could feel his anger rising as he growled back at her, “ I’m sorry, Elide. What more do you want me to do? Would grovelling at your feet help?”

“ Tell me the truth!” she yelled back at him, flinging her arms up in the air.

“ I can’t!” He roared back, the leash on his anger loosening by the second.

“ Why not? What you so afraid of?” She asked back and Lorcan could feel himself snap in that second.

He growled, truly growled, and he could feel his claws and canines extending as he grabbed her in a speed incomprehensible by a mortal and pushed her against the wall, hoisting her up high enough that she reflexively wrapped her legs around his waist.

“ I don’t want to lose you,” he said in a loud voice, still filled with rage. He froze when he noticed Elide’s shocked expression and the weight of what he had just done filtered through his mind.

“ You have canines,” Elide murmured as if in a trance as her gaze lingered on his open mouth. He stayed still as her gaze moved from his mouth to the rest of his face, noticing the thin layer of fur on his face. He didn’t dare breathe when her small hand came to hold his cheek gently. “ You’re a werewolf,” she said suddenly and Lorcan could almost imagine a light bulb going off above her head. Slowly, he nodded and dipped his head to look into her eyes.

“ You’re not scared?” He asked, adjusting her slightly in his arms and Elide only wrapped her arms around his neck, not at all minding the position they were in.

“ You’re such an idiot,” she murmured, the rage in her voice dying down. She leaned up to capture his lips for a soft kiss.

“ How are you not terrified of me?” Lorcan asked in bewilderment, pulling away almost immediately.

“ Lorcan, do you know who the Blackbeaks are? Who the Crochans are?” She asked slowly. He paused for a moment, remembering some vague details about witch covens being in the area.

“ Witches?” He guessed, frowning as he tried to figure out what she was trying to say. How did she even know who they were?

“ And who do you think I work for?” She asked, a hand running through his hair as if to soothe him.

“ Some woman called Manon?” He responded, leaning in further so that she have access to more of his hair.

“ Do you know who she is?” Elide then asked and then smiled when Lorcan shook his head, “ Manon Blackbeak ring a bell? Technically the leader of the Crochans too?”

Lorcan stared at her with wider eyes, his head tilting slightly as he tried to process her words. “ So what you’re telling me is that you work for a witch. And not just any witch. But one who’s potentially the leader of the Crochans?” Everybody in the supernatural world knew who the witch clans were. What the witches were.

“ Yes,” Elide replied firmly, her fingers twirling a piece of Lorcan’s hair as she kept her eyes on his chest, “ So really, Lorcan, you’ve been an idiot the whole time.”

Gods. He couldn’t believe it. Right here was the most amazing woman he could ever meet. “ You really don’t mind being with a werewolf?” He asked a final time, searching her face for any insecurity.

She rolled her eyes and said, “ Lorcan, I love you. I don’t see why being a werewolf would change anything.”

He shrugged, dropping his head further, “ My instincts,” he then said as an explanation, referring to their current position. Elide wouldn’t be pressed against the wall if it weren’t for his exploding anger.

“ I, for one, enjoy being here like this,” she said with a wicked gleam in her eyes and tightened her legs around him, “ Besides, I’ve dealt with worse. Manon and I went to collect venom the other day. I got to knock the vampire out,” she said a little more proudly than Lorcan would have expected.

He couldn’t help but rest his head on her shoulder and chuckle, “ Of course you did.”

“ But you will have to control your emotions, Lor. Werewolves can get extremely violent,” she explained.

Lorcan huffed and rolled his eyes, “ I know, Elide. I’ve been one all my life. It’s why I was late tonight.”

“ Spending time with your pack?” She asked casually, her fingers now tracing the featured of his face.

He nodded. “ I’m sorry. For the lying. For the sneaking out. For all of it. I should have trusted you.”

“ It’s okay. I lied to you too,” she said softly, “ I didn’t tell you who Manon was. Who I was. What I do for a living. Forgive me?”

Lorcan let out a laugh, his canines then brushing against her skin as he lightly kissed her neck. He was the one who needed the forgiveness and here she was… “ Gods, I love you,” he then growled possessively, kissing his way up her jaw.

“ I love you too,” Elide murmured back pulling his face up to kiss him properly.

They stayed like that for a while, trying to express each emotion through their kiss. Elide pushed him away suddenly, making him freeze once more. She placed her hand on his still chest and frowned up at him, “ Were you purring? I swear you were.”

Lorcan laughed once more and pulled her back in for another long kiss, “ It’s the equivalent of it,” he explained and the rumbling in his chest restarted. Elide grinned up at him, satisfied.

Lorcan smiled down at her and carried her away to the bedroom, happy. He felt lighter than he had ever felt in the past year. Elide was his. He was hers. There was nothing that could change that.
