Cinderella
THEY ARE CUTE!
Tumblr media
Zushi has a crush.
On his best friend's brother, someone who was also his friend when they were youngerā€¦
Itā€™s confusing. Learning Nen was much easier somehowā€¦
He couldnā€™t ask master; it was much too embarrassingā€¦ and besides, he'd probably bring up some statistic that would make all of Zushiā€™s self-confidence plummet. He couldnā€™t ask masterā€™s master; she was scaryā€¦ Alluka is his best friend! Which makes it all the worse! But she had just teased him and told him probably way more info than Killua himself would ever want anyone to knowā€¦ so now he feels a little guilty.
But that sad look in those deep blue eyes of hisā€¦ itā€™s like an ocean of sadness, and Zushi wants to see a smile against those pretty features like when they were youngerā€¦
But heā€™s no good. He doesnā€™t know what to say or doā€¦ heā€™s definitely not Alluka, who was the only person who could bring her brother out of a melancholy state, and heā€™s not Gonā€¦
Zushi doesnā€™t even know what happenedā€¦ A-and he has no right to pry!
But he canā€™t think of what to do, so heā€™s sulking at the punch table, fiddling around with a glass in his hands.
Killua hadnā€™t danced with a single person tonightā€¦ s-so maybe!
Oh, come onā€¦ whoā€™s he kiddingā€¦ it took him years to conquer Heavenā€™s Arena; something like this seemsā€¦
Zushi sighs out loud vehemently, placing the drink down and playing with his champagne-colored bowtie, bright against the pure white of his suit.
He doesnā€™t know how to danceā€¦
Heā€™ll just stay glued here, in this spot, until the party is over, he decides; until he sees Killua slowly move away from the edge of the balcony, clearly intending to leave.
H-heā€™s got this!
ą¼¶ā€¢ā”ˆā”ˆā›§ā”ˆā™› ā™›ā”ˆā›§ā”ˆā”ˆā€¢ą¼¶
HE DOESNā€™T HAVE THIS!
Heā€™s sweating buckets to the point he thinks his shoes must be flooding.
ā€œO-OSU!ā€
He tugs at the edge of his tux, swallowing thickly.
Itā€™s not hard to sweat just in the presence of Killua. Heā€™s like from another dimension. The way the light pink dress he wears flows down, like a cascade of waves, highlighting his petite frame, his slender shoulders, the sleeves draping past them. His lips are the same complimentary pink, blushing his skin in spots as well.
Killua stops fiddling with his silver locks, his somber expression twisting for a second, something akin to joy, as he looks back.
ā€œOsu. Itā€™s been a whileā€¦ youā€™ve gotten strong, huh?ā€
Thereā€™s a small catlike grin on his face for a moment.
S-strong? Oh, right!
Zushi steps forward, standing next to Killua, rigid as a board.
ā€œOsu! B-but Iā€™m still nothing compared to you two!ā€
Wrong move.
Killuaā€™s expression crumbles so fast, Zushi wishes he could stuff the words back in his mouth. Killua physically recoils and draws closer to himself, wrapping his arms around his stomach.
ā€œI canā€™t speak for Gonā€¦ but youā€™re definitely stronger than me nowā€¦ you train with Alluka, right? Sheā€™s gotten strong too. She can take care of herselfā€¦ so I donā€™t really train anymore. I donā€™t like fightingā€¦ā€
It had always been a necessity, not fun. There was only a short time it was fun for Killuaā€¦
Tears fall hot on his cheeks before he can stop them, and he wipes them away, smiling bitterly. He wants to stop them. But they donā€™tā€¦
Killua dips to the floor, trying to hide, sniffing.
Oh no.
Zushi wants to disappear. His heart aches, and he looks around desperately.
Alluka!
He canā€™t help Killuaā€¦ he wants to. But what can he doā€¦?
Confidence! Masterā€™s master said it is the most important thing!
He leans over slowly, gently placing a hand on Killuaā€™s shoulder.
ā€œKillua?ā€
Killua looks up, tears still pooling in his eyes, and Zushi fumbles in his pocket, pulling something out and holding it outward for Killua.
Except itā€™s not a handkerchief. Itā€™s his patchwork coin purse, and nervously he draws it back, fumbling to tug out the small piece of fabric and handing it to Killua.
ā€œU-Um! Killua-san! S-someone as pretty as you shouldnā€™t cry!ā€
Zushi hears a small gasp out of Killuaā€™s lips, and the red around his nose turns an even deeper hue, and Zushi isnā€™t sure whose face is more red, feeling his own on fire, still awkwardly holding the handkerchief out, and you can hear a pin drop.
Killua gently takes the handkerchief from Zushiā€™s hand, his small and slender fingers brushing against Zushiā€™s own, and his heart swells again, and Zushi swallows, trying to keep his heart from leaving. Killuaā€™s prettyā€¦ and cuteā€¦
Killua says he doesnā€™t fight anymore, but Zushi knows Killua is still strong, but he canā€™t help but feel the urge rise in his chest to protect him.
ā€œU-uh! I know you donā€™t fight anymore, b-but! If you want to, I mean! Iā€™d really like if you came and watched a match of mine, osu!ā€
ā€œEh?ā€
Killua says it so softly he almost doesnā€™t hear it, and his head feels like itā€™s swirling as he looks up; Killua gently wipes under his nose using the handkerchief before placing it in his lap. His face is still cutely red, and he looks to the side, brushing a strand of hair behind his ear.
ā€œW-well Alluka has a matchā€¦ that-that day, b-but! I guess I could see how strong youā€™ve gottenā€¦ā€
Killua looks over, smiling softly, adding.
ā€œOsu!ā€

BC Survivor au? As in the reality tv show šŸ˜„ or if you haven't watched it, any other reality/competition show etc?
Ooh, yes yes yes! But..instead of the tropical location they always have in Survivor (even in the Finnish editions, except for the one during covid I think), how would you like a Finland edition? Survivor goes Lapland or something like that? :D
They all compete in the same tribe and thus sleep in the same kota
(Yes they sleep there yes it's tiny I know but humour me a little here alright, it's an alteranate universe after all and I'm making this up as I go šŸ˜…)
Niko and Aleksi immediately form an alliance and are often found plotting against the others, in true menace manner
Meanwhile Tommi is not planning on collaborating with anyone šŸ˜¤ He's named as the first tribe chief
And he gets to wear a really cool bear skin that he likes so much he refuses to give it back when his time as chief is over and the production has to bring a new one to the set šŸ™ˆ
Their tribe wins the first competition, which makes Joonas happy because to him the tribe already feels like a family šŸ„°
Indeed, Olli has to console him when they finally lose a competition (they have a winning streak in the beginning) and finally have to let go of one of the tribe members
"BUT WE'RE A FAMILY I DON'T WANT TO NAME ANYONE I LOVE YOU ALL šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­"
Meanwhile Joel contemplates voting himself off lol, participating in the competition was a huge mistake and he wants to sleep in an actual bed
Not that he minds sleeping next to Tommi too much. It's kinda cold in the kota at night, and Tommi is very warm šŸ„°
Ironically, Joel gets to be the next chief and he absolutely hates the responsibility and is this šŸ¤ close to actually telling the production he's going home
Tommi sees his moment and decides to break his "no collaboration, we die like men" principle and offer his advice for poor reluctant chief Joel
This does not go according to Niko and Aleksi's plans, who are planning on making sure Tommi is the next one to be voted off (he would be too strong an opponent in the end)
What Niko doesn't know, however, is that Aleksi has also made an alliance with *gasp* ROBIN šŸ˜± Where do Aleksi's loyalties really lie?
Olli doesn't really have anyone to make an alliance with and he's kinda sad about it. Joonas says Olli should make one with him, and they do eventually, only their idea of scheming and coming up with strategies is talking about their feelings while braiding each other's hair šŸ„ŗ
..which makes Aleksi realise he's made alliances with the wrong men: neither Niko nor Robin is going to braid his hair (it's getting kinda greasy (sorry for the mental image)), let alone let him braid theirs šŸ˜”
To no one's surprise, Tommi wins the challenge where they have to eat all sorts of weird foods, like worms and reindeer testicles
By winning this challenge he also wins the "untouchable" charm that prevents him from being voted off, which in this production is a crown made of moose horns, another prop Tommi's not planning on giving back once he gets his hands on it (the production is getting kind of frustrated and contemplate writing Tommi off the show somehow, but he's a fan favourite, so their hands are pretty much tied)
To no one's surprise, Joonas doesn't do quite as well in that particular challenge
At some point Joonas and Olli end up in a duel, but they've become such good friends that they're practically sobbing throughout the whole task because they don't want the other to leave šŸ˜­ and so production lets them both go ("oh my god stop crying you two, you're already out of the island"). They start a YouTube channel together after the show šŸ„°
Niko is Shookā„¢ when he finds out about Aleksi's betrayal, but saves his ass anyway in the next vote-off (bye Robin šŸ‘‹)
Joel and Tommi become such a power couple that, against all odds, they end up in the finale together ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ

you know we're always saying "ouuch that is hurting" about iwla, but nobody stops and asks you how was Ƭt for you to keep them apart for all these weeks, where you anxious to make them get back together as badly as we were to see that happening?
this is kind of an interesting question because with how i wrote iwla, it was all pretty much done at once (for the most part) so for me alone, the angst was quick. like i wrote it and then i was back to the happy ending shortly after. instead of, say, writing it weekly or taking a lot of time between chapters. but when iā€™ve been posting the chapters, i obviously go back and read through it to check for any mistakes or anything, and i think doing that each week, plus reading everyoneā€™s reactions each update, really did kinda put me in the same headspace as the readers.
like i would go and edit chapter 13 where they break up and im like šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ my poor baby fuck this stupid man for hurting heršŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤ and then i would post that chapter and everyone else would have the same reactions (albeit some a little more aggressivelyšŸ‘šŸ») so i feel like i did kind of experience that same anticipation in a sense, even though i already knew everything that was going to happen ahskshsksh
and while i do LOVE these characters and whatā€™s happening with them and i definitely wanted them to get back together, iā€™ve been more anxious and excited about seeing everyoneā€™s reactions to the chapters but thatā€™s also been my favorite partšŸ„ŗ i really think the feedback from everyone who has read it has made me love this story 10 times more
