Tumblr media
TANJIRO KAMADO ❀
He's literally the sweetest guy you've ever met
He treats you with so much respect
He asks permissions for literally EVERYTHING like ~ holding hands , hugging and stuff like that
He once held your hand without your permission and got SO EMBARRASSED and he said sorry SO many times after that
Once you tell him that you're okay with him touching you he's like ~ "I can touch you? Without your permission??" "Yes tanjirou"
He doesn't believe how much trust you have in him
He doesn't really yells at you , bro he couldn't even think of yelling at you
Once he yelled alot at you because you got nezuko for a mission (with his permission ofc) but she didn't come back in good situation it wasn't your fault but he still shouted at you and said really mean things because nezuko is so precious to him (as well as you too duh) because she's the only family member thats left alive. Cr - Words of regret @niluffa <3 (I love her please follow her omg)
Whenever you give him physical affection he sometimes cries because he never got that after his family's death :(
Love language - all 5 for sure
10/10 bf <3

Zenitsu Agatsuma ❁
He thinks you're a queen/king (and you are)
When you first said you liked him back he was the real definition of screaming , crying and blushing throwing up
He got so excited 😭
If you're a slayer too,
He loves to spar with you but he's so gentle? And you're the one always winning because he doesn't wants to hurt you lmao
He gets really really worried if you get injured while completing a mission and if the wound is deep then, lo and behold `~ as expected he won't even let you get off the bed and do some work until your wound is completely healed
He would take care of you and sit by your side 24/7💀
Tanjiro : "zenitsu , we need to train"
Zenitsu : "DONT YOU SEE Y/N IS INJURED?! I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM BECAUSE THEY WONT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!! AND IF I DONT TAKE CARE OF THEM, THEYLL DI-

Love language - physical affection and acts of service
8/10 bf

Inosuke Hashibira ☆
He didn't even knew what dating was
He Straight up come to you can said "I love you" on your face and then ran away
Tanjiro and zenitsu were sneakly watching you both and both of them faceplamed when inosuke confessed to you in such a weird way
He loves sparring with you but you always win even tho he tries his best to win
He says only YOUR name right and no one else's
Tanjiro and zenitsu had to teach him how to act in front of you💀
Whenever you hug him or kiss him he gets floaty (like when tanjiro says something nice)
He eats up all of your food without your permission (very inosuke like)
Love language - physical affection acts of service doesn't exist in his dictionary

And remember you can send me any type of kny asks , if it doesn't work then you can message me or comment <3

Eagle Fang!Hawk and Miyagi-Do!Reader pt. 3
@sensei-venus 😏😏 ● parts one and two
Tumblr media
Contrary to belief, Hawk is a good boyfriend to Reader, much to Sam amd Demetri's shock. Most didn't know if it was going to last a week, but aside from his usual pestering, Hawk is good to Reader. He does t turn soft, but he acts a smidge sweeter to her when they're out and about. He brought her flowers once and some of the EF guys laughed at him. Training that day was rough for them.
People were also shocked to learn that after all of his acting out and a month of dating, Hawk and Reader haven't slept together yet. His friends bring up how horny he acted when trying to woo her and he just shrugs it off as none of their fucking business. It's their fault if they really thought shy, sweet Reader was going to put out on the first month together. He respects her boundaries, even finds them cute when she stops them from going to far because her shyness is so cute to him. The farther they've ever gone is some heavy making out and a little grinding.
"But you were literally going out of your way just to make her all whiny under you."
"And just like all those times, I still have a hand to take care of my business. So why don't you mind your own or do you need help pulling your head out of your ass?"
If any of the Miyagi-Dos thought their relationship would be some kind of bridge between them and Hawk, they're wrong. He's still a complete menace; in training, at school, on outings. He's not done making sure they know he's the best. The only difference now is Reader is at his side trying her best to curb his ego just a little bit.
As time goes on, the two only get closer. She's still fairly shy, but she's opened up to him in private so much. He's learned things about her no one else knows and admires every piece of her being. He holds her around the waist because he knows it makes her feel good about herself, and he squeezes her rolls there because he loves hearing her squeak in surprise. He lets her hide her face in his neck whenever she is embarrassed or avoiding a situation. He uplifts her whenever she feels down on herself and continues to tease her throughout their relationship because that's just per usual.
Things hit a snag when Reader tries to go a little too out of her comfort zone though. He notices right off the bat, but masks his surprise well. He goes along with it, but when her attitude towards the change starts to crack, she has a minor breakdown and starts crying.
She tells him, "I just want to be the confident, cool girlfriend you deserve."
"Why would I want that?" he asks her, holding her hand while wiping her tears away. "Your shyness is what makes me want you so much. It's what I love most about you."
"Love?" she asks quietly, sniffling as she's caught off guard.
He realizes what he's said and his cheeks start to tint a little pink. This isn't how he thought this would go down, but he's taking his moment. "Well, yeah. I love that about you... I love you."
She can't get the words out as the feeling overwhelms her, so she kisses him and that's all he needs. It's nice when she pulls away and says it back though. It's amazing, actually.
A semi-accidental love confession just feels right for these two in all honesty. It's them. I love it.

your night guest. (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥
your the most sweet and nice best friend bennett that comes to your house at night turns out being... yandere?
tw. yandere bennett basically, but he's honestly too innocent
guys he's so sweet and so underrated I'm literally crying T_T
Tumblr media
"you're my treasure"
bennett literally was rolling on his own bed thinking about what you have said today at yours weekly friend meeting. his you're treasure. gosh, has he lost his mind or you really have something toward him?! bennett would repeat your words in his head for hours, first scroll through his memory and all the details of this moment, starting from the sunny weather, light and soft wind that tickled his bare shoulders, your beautiful eyes that looked deep into his soul, your sweet pinkish lips (he won't dare to kiss them, no no, he just can't) and right after that flashback he immediately curl up, squeezing his eyes and blushing all over his face. and do this again. and again. and this cycle would go for the whole night, bennet has no doubt at it. but he can't stand it anymore. he just can't stand all those romantic made up scenarios about the two of you. he wants to express his eternal love to you, show you how much he adores you, because, ugh, man you're just perfect!! how else should he describe you?! all your character traits, he just found of them. he literally doesn't see any "negative" or "bad" traits in you (is it even possible for you?). all your smiles that you give to him whenever he failed or brought a new disaster to other people, you never reproach him for such things, in comparison with others.
his optimism reached its adequate limit ages ago, turning into some toxic constant mantra that he repeats every day if not every minute to himself, because he's not that impossible, right? people don't hate him because of all the problems that he causes that are not his fault and he's not left by them, right? bennett was boiling in this endless suffering cycle like, for years, or maybe even his whole life? until you came. yes, you made him happy for real. you actually made him laugh, all the innocent time you spend with him, with exactly zero toxicity in your friendship. is it even possible?
you're too perfec for him. to be even real.
how can he be even closer to you? no, you're friends. at least you think so. he doesn't even know how to overstep this "friendzone" boundary and don't lose you. because his life already pointless without you. he can't lose and you. no no no.
but, he can't stand it anymore either...
and what there's left? only one solution.
"I have to see her." bennett pulled the blanket off him and started dressing up to meet you. his heart is beating hard. his cheeks are pinky. he is ready to tell what he really thinks about you. the question is now, are you ready to hear it? well, you have no choice. because bennett loves you more than anything. he can't escape his feelings toward you, so neither do you.
bennett left his house and headed to your place. though your home address is new to him at least it should be, it's actually not strange to him. he remembers it and goes like into his own place.
you were very surprised by your night guest. you didn't expect anyone, especially always polite and sweet bennett. but how could you ignore him?
"y/n, I wanna to tell you something... but promise not to laugh" you giggled, admitting bennett's shy smile and his hand behind his head, his attempt at something serious. "I... I-i... hey, could you please turn around?..." you adored his puppy eyes right now, so you turned around just like bennett asked you. "thank you" bennet is always like this. you feel how nervous he is and try to relax him. "yes, I'm fine, thank you though, I'm just... I just..." he saw you turning back to him wanting to see him, but the moment you saw his eyes he just confessed.
"I love you !!!"
bennett confessed with squeezed eyes, red face and hands clenched into fists. you can't imagine a cuter scene in your life.
"I love you too, bennett."
there is no end to his happiness. you literally made him the happiest person in the whole world, the way his eyes glared at you, he took you into his hands the second moment. he even cries because of how much he loves you. please, be his for the rest of your lifes. bennett swears to make you loved.
" you're the light of my whole life, love <3 "

nct dream as your boyfriend
Tumblr media
nct dream x gn!reader
fluffy boyfriend!nct dream headcanons because it's 2 am and i'm all up in my head <3 also because i have no motivation to work on dont need it and am holding it off as much as i possibly can before finalizing it <3
Tumblr media
lee mark
just the softest boy
we already know he really enjoys playing the guitar
so i feel like he’s the type to wake up at like 3 in the morning with a melody in mind
like he wakes up in cold sweat because he has such a good idea and he CANNOT forget it
he’d record a snippet of it and send it to you after he perfects it
but this is rare because he’d rather hear your reaction
mark isn’t the type to facetime; he’d rather just call you or just come over to see you in person
so a lot of the time you’d get an incoming phone call
at 3 in the morning
because he forgets the time when he’s immersed in his craft
and because it’s a phone call, he can’t see you squinting at your phone
but you’d try your best to not make it obvious that you were already asleep
and then he’d go on and on about how he was in the middle of writing something and thought about you
his voice literally just wakes you up because he’s so excited over his creation
“ready to hear it?”
and after playing it for you he’d have the widest, goofiest smile on his face
he’d be so proud of yourself after you give him a personal round of applause
but his grin doesn’t stay on for long because there’d be banging on his wall from his housemates telling him to shut up
this happened so often that they don’t even have to say anything, just forcefully tap their wall and he’d get the hint
usually then, he’d finally realize how late-or technically, early- it was getting
“ah shit, fuck were you sleeping when i called?”
and you’d just chuckle because he’s so damn cute
and then you’d remind him how much you love and enjoy his hobby
and how it makes you happy getting to listen to him play his guitar
“you do know you don’t have to pick up, right?”
but you’d just smile even wider and he could hear it over the phone and he’d smile too
your smile is so endearing to him
and when he was the reason you’re smiling, it sends him through the clouds
because how could HE be the cause of such a beautiful smile
“hey, baby?”
“yeah, mark?”
“i love you.”
and you’d giggle so hard because he still gives you butterflies
“i love you, too, mageolli.”
“bro, did hyuck teach you that?” he squeaks
another bang on his wall makes him jump and he ends up whispering to you for about another hour
Tumblr media
huang renjun
this man loves to read, so whenever he’s reading a book he really likes, he’d annotate it with the intentions of giving it to you
sometimes he’d highlight funny things and write little notes like “this made me laugh and i thought you’d like it too”
so fucking endearing let me tell you
and when he comes across romantic lines, he’d highlight them in pink and write little notes on how it reminded him of you
when he’s done with the book and gives it to you, you’d find cute little highlighted portions with notes and messages directed for you
sometimes, he’d write you cute little messages on the inside cover, kind of like an introduction to his annotations
he’d also write a mini introduction to the content of the book, but in his own cute way
“i found this book really funny (those funny scenes are highlighted in yellow) and there were a lot of scenes where the interactions between the two main characters reminded me of you and i, so those are highlighted in purple”
and a bunch of other notes related to his annotations
the back cover has a mini summary and all his personal thoughts after finishing the book
“could they BE anymore stupid? he should have confessed to her when…” and many more angry-renjun reactions
there was one time he was reading pride and prejudice and came across this line
“in vain i have struggled. it will not do. my feelings will not be repressed. you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love you.”
he was about to pull out his highlighter and smear the bright pink across it but pauses
and then he just slams the book closed because he remembers how much of an asshole mr. darcy was in this book
and how much he hated pride and prejudice
he was only reading it again because you asked him to read it with you
the two of you often picked out your favorite books and had the other one read it and discuss it with each other after you both finished
kind of like a personal book club
this time around you picked this wretched book and he was not having it
but then you pulled out the puppy eyes
he gagged in front of you and asked that if he’d read it with you, you wouldn’t pull that shit again
internally he loved it, he just doesn’t like showing it physically
anyways, after slamming the book shut he stood up from the couch but was so pissed off with the fucking book that he called you
“babe, why is lizzy so fucking idiotic?”
you’re just as confused as he is, but for a totally different reason
“i know we’re supposed to discuss when we’re finished but i just cannot read this book anymore.”
Tumblr media
lee jeno
the type of boyfriend that has a really hard time expressing his feelings in words
so he’d show it in his actions instead
his love language is most likely physical touch
but at the same time he seems like the type to not enjoy too much physical affection in public
yet he still needs to be touching you: always
just small gestures to keep in physical contact with you
it reassures him that you’re still there
in public, he’d make an effort to hold pinkies
like he’d interlock them when you’re walking around the grocery store or just when you go on walks together
oh yeah, jeno really likes walks
like when the two of you are having a really rough day or when you’re both just not in the best mood, he’d ask to go on walks to clear your minds
it’s his way of telling you that he’s there for you
on the rough days, instead of holding your pinky, he’d intertwine your hands instead
and when you guys argue over things and he doesn’t know what to say, he’d leave the room for a bit so that you don’t say things you don’t really mean to each other
jeno is a good man, he was raised right
so he KNOWS when he’s at fault
and when he realizes what he’s done and takes all the things you say into consideration, you’d hear the sink running or the vacuum turn on
he’d clean your apartment for you as an apology
back to the physical touch aspect of him
rare *public* back hugs here and there but only around people he’s comfortable with
but when you’re alone??
he would literally CLING onto you, personal bubble does not exist to this man
wraps his arms around your waist when you cook or do the dishes, playing footsies when you eat, all of that
sometimes when you’re both on the couch doing work on separate laptops he’d make it a literal mission to be in physical contact with you
like even if it interferes with his work, he’s gotta be touching you
he’d have one leg thrown over your torso if your hands are too busy with something
it’s really endearing because if you moved at all, like even just a little and he wasn’t able to have a part of his body on yours, he’d start pouting
he’d reach his arms or legs out in a grabbing motion and not say anything
and then you’d have to reposition yourself so that the two of you would be able to work and he still be able to touch you
and his smiles, the fucking smiles when he gets to hold your hand after you guys finish working on whatever you needed to work on
his cuddles are top tier too, and he’d make sure you guys get at least 30 minutes of cuddles a day
Tumblr media
lee donghyuck
the whiniest, most annoying (but adorable) boyfriend ever
like jeno, he needs to be in physical contact with you, but instead of quietly pouting or reaching for you, he’d YELL
“y/n! hold my hand!”
“but i’m typing-”
“babe, hold my hand!!!!” *intense pouting*
he normally drops it when he knows you’re actually busy, but when he knows you’re just watching a movie or something, he keeps pestering you until you hold his hand
and when you do, he takes the opportunity to POUNCE on you like he just deadass lays on top of you
and you let him because it’s actually really comforting having his weight on top of you
NOSE KISSES!!!!!! lots of those
and forehead pecks
it goes both ways, though, because he likes receiving those too!!!!! fairness!!!!!
he’s the type to play tricks on you, but never takes it too far because he doesn’t want to hurt you in any way
and he spoils you a lot
like not with materialistic things (though sometimes he does) but more with arguments and when it comes to picking what to do/eat for the day
he’s the type to always think before his actions, yet when he’s around you, all logic is thrown to the side
“you wanna go bungee jumping? bet!” (even though he’s afraid of heights)
he gets two of everything when he goes to the store; one for him and one for you
and when you first started dating, you got a bit shy because of this due to the fact that he’s spending extra on you
you felt bad he was spending extra money so whenever you were buying things, you followed his habit and do the same thing
and for the first couple months he’d say that it’s fine and everything but when you both got really comfortable around each other, he’d be really witty with his comebacks
“no, i don’t wanna share with you” or “pay me back then”
sometimes the casual, “no, you’re gonna eat all of it and leave me nothing”
soon enough, the two of you fell into the habit of buying two of everything wherever you went (besides the things that you both know the other person hates)
also, when you first started dating, a lot of it was just casually hanging out at a park or walking around a random neighborhood and getting food nearby
street food you can take on the go >>>> food from fancy restaurants
and also, when you first started getting snacks for each other and he didn’t know what you liked, he got one of everything
like for example, the first time you guys had a movie night at your place, he went to the store but didn’t know what brand of chips you preferred so he bought both kinds
(he learned that day what your favorite snacks and brands were and he remembered it forever)
Tumblr media
na jaemin
HUGS!
jaemin is the king of hugs, like no one, absolutely NO ONE can beat him when it comes to hugs
they’re always so warm and he always knows whenever you need one
he’s kind of like a battery pack, so whenever you hug him, you feel recharged and energized
because all his hugs are full of love and you can literally feel it radiating off of him
“jaems, i need-”
you can’t even finish your sentence because he’s already engulfing you
“i know, baby”
sometimes you’d tease him and say things like, “i was gonna ask for some water” or some shit like that and he’d get all pouty
and when he’s about to let go, you just pull him into you more
so obviously, he’s another fan of physical affection
but unlike jeno and hyuck, he’s not quite the clingy type
he will give you your space and will not invade your personal bubble, but instead just show that he’s there by doing other things
whenever he sees that your water glass is half empty, he’d go refill it
would always ask if you wanted a snack
would feed you his food when you were busy working on your laptop
just little actions to show that he’s paying attention to you
you pick up on his habit and slowly become more tentative too
he’s also the type that shows the overprotective type of affection too
like, when it gets cold and he notices you shiver a little, he’d immediately take off his sweater/hoodie/jacket, whatever, and give it to you
or whenever your clothes seem to be bothering you, he’d offer you his shirt or pants or anything for you to feel more comfortable
he really enjoys cooking for you, so you’d have little cooking dates every once in a while where he teaches you a recipe or you teach him something
and it always either ends up in a disaster or a really appetizing success, no mediocre food in this household
the disasters are normally when you’re in charge of the cooking because you get distracted by jaemin’s crackheadery
he talks to the fucking vegetables and asks them how their day was before chopping them up, like what the fuck?
the normally tentative jaemin gets distracted because he’s making you laugh
he loves hearing you laugh, so he keeps doing what he’s doing to get to hear it more
so sometimes you forget you’re boiling something, you forget there’s something on the stove and shit starts spilling out
you’re both panicking and looking for the fire extinguisher
jaemin just ends up smacking it with whatever he’s holding and the flames go out and you both end up laughing and rolling around on the floor for the next 10 minutes
Tumblr media
zhong chenle
can be the most evil or the most adoring boyfriend, there is no inbetween
like some days, he’d tease you to the point you ignore him while other days he’s all cuddly, snuggled up against you while hyping you up like you’re some sort of insta baddie
but a constant is that he will ALWAYS call you cute
you say something stupid? “cute.”
you CALL him stupid? “how cute!”
you drop your phone in the toilet? “cute.”
he has an obsession with that word, but it doesn’t really bother or annoy you because you really like hearing him say it
even when you guys play video games
you’re both beast at battle royale games, so you’re both constantly playing with one another
you guys normally don’t play when you see each other/ meet up because you spend that time doing other quality couple things
like bicker over what to order or where to get boba from for the day
so instead you guys normally play video games together at 3 in the morning after finishing up all your work for the day
whenever you’d knock down an enemy, you’d hear him from the other end of the phone shouting things like, “y/n that kill was so sexy!” (he picked that up from jaemin)
when you make noises after either missing or hitting your target, he’d chuckle to himself and mumble a little, “cute.”
soon enough you’re also picking up the habit and calling him cute all the damn time too
at first, he insisted that you stopped calling him cute because it was HIS line
“babe, i know i’m adorable, but stop calling me cute.”
“no.”
more bickering because he is so persistent
eventually got used to it and you two would have little squabbles over how the other is overusing it when you're BOTH doing it
not normally the type to be showing physical affection, but will cuddle when he’s sleepy
he feels safe when he’s holding you so he’s at peace and can fall asleep easily
he probably likes petting your hair when he’s the big spoon, and likes it when you pet his hair when he’s the little spoon
OMG WAIT he’s probably the type to have you lay on his lap (or vice versa) and just play with your hair (or have you play with his hair)!!!!!!!
like y’all are just chilling on the couch watching some basketball game and he just lays on your lap out of nowhere
“time for human contact!”
you’d just laugh and start combing your hand through his hair and he closes his eyes and ends up falling asleep
Tumblr media
park jisung
the best friend type of boyfriend where the most couply thing you end up doing is going yo the zoo and feeding animals
he really likes when you guys go to the gift shop and play with the little toys they have
he’s super interested in the little things and is fascinated by everything big and small
you find that shit so cute and secretly take pictures of him staring at the miniature figures of lions
he catches on after seeing you changed your wallpaper to a picture of him holding a giraffe puppet and having it look at him
he holds your finger when you walk around so that you both don’t get lost
but his hands are really big compared to yours, so you switch to holding his finger instead and he physically melts because he thinks it looks so cute
i think your typical dates are the ones that involve a lot of walking around BECAUSE of the fact that you hold onto his finger
(jk, but like...he just thinks it’s really cute)
(so much so that it becomes a habit when you’re just hanging out)
(watching a movie? here, hold my finger. grocery shopping? here, hold it.)
you guys go to the amusement park often too
you hold onto each other’s fingers and wander around the park looking for rides that jisung can ride because he's scared of action
but you like roller coasters, and jisung always feels bad because you never ride them when you two go together
so one time, when there was one you really wanted to go on but you knew it would have scared jisung
so you decided to pass up on it because you didn’t want to leave him alone
but he was noticing how your eyes kept lingering on the coaster and he broke
“y/n, i’ll go on it with you”
and you’re shocked because you didn’t even say you wanted to go on it, like you just looked at it but he caught on
and you tried to brush it off and insisting that you could go on a ride you both liked
but he was so stern about it because he knew how much you wanted to go on it
i think he’s the type of boyfriend that normally gets over his fears when he is encouraged by his partner, and in this case, his form of encouragement was making you happy
he just likes seeing you happy in general
so internally, he’s hyping himself up while you’re cheering for him
and although he’s scared shitless, he goes through with it because he knows that this is a fear he needs to get over, so might as well get it over with while making you smile!
and so when it’s your turn to get on the ride, he gets cold feet, kinda, but you grab onto his hand, not his finger, and rub your thumb over it to reassure him that it’ll be fine
and it was honestly not that bad because he felt safe with you holding his hand the entire time
and when the ride finishes and he sees how happy you are, he thinks to himself that it was so worth it because you’re beaming
he makes a note
holding your hand > holding fingers

ok I love your sokka/mai/toph dynamics and I want to hear your thoughts on the relationship between toph and mai in particular , as rich girls who resent their families I feel like they’d have a lot of common experiences growing up which would be a good start to their friendship, but how would it progress from there ?
yess their friendship would be so fucking good. like they’d just Get each other, and toph’s encouragement & understanding would definitely help mai figure out that she doesn’t need to dedicate her life to pleasing her parents, or anyone, for that matter, and she can go after what she wants without shame. and of course they both think the other is hilarious and badass and awesome. they’re always hanging out and causing chaos together. here are 10 bullet points about their friendship: 
they are each other's automatic assumed plus-one to family events. this arrangement begins one day when they're in their teens and mai is bemoaning an upcoming family dinner. toph first suggests that mai simply skip it, because that's what she'd do, but when mai admits she wants to see tom-tom (toph: "ew, why?") they hatch a scheme together. toph will accompany mai, and she'll begin the evening by acting like a perfectly composed young lady, but get steadily weirder and make mai's parents more and more uncomfortable as the night progresses. by the time the dessert course rolls around, toph is fully metalbending the dessert spoons out of their hands and cackling when they reflexively grab for them. this amusing display becomes a tradition – if mai is expected to attend anything, it's assumed that toph will be there as her mischievous date. toph even begins attending her own family events for the first time just so she can take mai, who will obligingly derail dinner by doing knife tricks for the horrified guests. in true theater kid tradition (much like her ex-boyfriend, mai's always had a fondness for live theater), any fancy rich people dinner becomes "dinner and a show." 
when they are in their early twenties, there's a brief period of time when mai and ty lee are temporarily "off." it's not important whose fault it was (it was both of theirs) but for weeks on end, neither one can shut up about the drama. while ty lee cries in suki's arms, mai sullenly stays in toph's little hovel, getting high a lot and eating all of toph's snacks. at some point during this period, mai suggests – with deadly seriousness – that she and toph should just hook up. toph is like, "okay, yeah," but by  the time they lean in to kiss, they've already thought better of it. they both suffer through a very awkward kiss (and it's not even bad, just terribly self-conscious) and then pretend to get distracted by other topics. they don't mention it again. 
neither one has the faintest idea how to do laundry. the first time they go on a trip together just the two of them, they can't figure out why their clothes smell so increasingly… weird. mildew-y. it turns out that you can't simply wave your clothes around in the river without any soap and then leave them out on a rock all balled-up and expect them to be dry in the morning. they wind up having to toss all the clothes they brought with them on that trip. it is a humbling experience.
one day, while staying at the fire nation palace, toph spontaneously decides to prank mai by pretending she and azula kissed last night. she claims the kiss was surprisingly good and then works her way up to shyly "confessing" that she thinks she's developing feelings. mai completely falls for it. she squawks and objects and threatens to tell katara. they cause such a commotion that azula actually wanders downstairs to see what's going on. though toph attempts to nonverbally communicate that azula should just go with it, azula reacts like an absolute space alien, letting loose a stream of nervous giggles and barely managing to fumble out the words, "i-i-i-i've never kissed a girl, actually." afterwards, mai is a little embarrassed for believing in it, but they're both way more embarrassed for azula herself. toph decides that kind of backfired.
for mai's thirtieth birthday, toph metalbends her a knife. engraved into the metal is a perfect image of toph herself, a kind of signature. the more normal thing to do might be to put this logo on the handle, but toph puts it right at the tip of the blade. this overt branding of the knife as an extension of toph herself leads to an inside joke where mai will sometimes ever so casually turn to toph and say "you killed someone last night," and toph will be like, "nice! good for me." 
toph gets super offended on mai’s behalf whenever someone refers to her as “lady mai.” it’s an outrage! toph insists. SHE’S NOT A LADY, SHE’S A DYKE!!!! (toph repeats this point so often that at some point, mai realizes she’s gone from quietly resigning herself to the reminder of her nobility to being just as outraged as toph.)
it’s a widely-known fact among mai’s friends that she is really, really jealous of sokka’s hair. toph’s like “so just cut your hair, then?” and mai’s like “but his hair is a cultural thing, it would be weird if i just. had his haircut.” so then toph suggests that they both cut their hair to look like sokka’s (pictured here & here), that way, it can’t be cultural appropriation! and mai’s like “that doesn’t make any sense.....but it sounds hilarious, so i’m in.” they also get glasses similar to his, despite the fact that mai has perfect vision & toph has none at all, and stop wearing shirts with sleeves, just to complete the look. at first sokka is like “okay, haha, very funny,” but like a year into them both sporting wolftails, glasses, and sleeveless tunics, it’s become apparent that they’re actually both deeply attached to these fashion statements. but it would have nothing to do with the hordes of girls who have been hitting on them... nothing at all... 
toph thinks it’s extremely funny that mai dated zuko. of course, she has enough tact not to voice this while they’re still in their teens, because it’s still a sore wound, but once they’re in their twenties, toph’s like “hey remember when you dated ZUKO?????” and starts laughing hysterically and then suki’s like “what’s so funny” and toph, between wheezes, is like “i just remembered when MAI dated ZUKO” and then suki starts cracking up too and then ty lee walks by and is like “hey guys whats going on” and stuttering between breaths, crying with laughter, toph and suki are like “remember when MAI??????? DATED?????? ZUKO??????????” and ty lee is like “DO I??????????????” and they’re all just rolling around on the floor trying to breathe through their laughter and mai is just. completely stone-faced, like “yeah that was pretty bad.”
toph, mai, suki, and ty lee almost immediately become a Squad after the war ends. existing on the periphery of this squad are sokka, the other kyoshi warriors, and aang, who is technically invited to any group hangout because his presence is always delightful. they invited zuko once, and they all agreed that it wasn’t fun for him. they invited katara once, and toph was like “watch out guys she’s gonna be such a buzzkill because she HATES FUN like a BORING OLD MOM” but actually katara got wayy too wild and the four of them had to rein her in. well, mai, toph, and suki egged her on; ty lee reined her in. but still, toph and mai definitely got a taste of the Sokka Lifestyle that night. 
the first, and last, time toph is forced to babysit tom tom, it is because literally everyone else is absent from the fire nation. even zuko, who would probably agree to hold tom tom while in diplomatic meetings, is currently in the earth kingdom or something, so toph is literally the only option mai has. approximately 15 minutes later, once mai has returned from her errand to both of them, somehow, covered in jam (and possibly blood??) mai’s like “...well?” and toph just says grimly, “i am never having kids.”

Heeyyy bestie, how are you feeling about the newest GLOOB trailer for Wishmaker? (Very much contains spoilers)
Heeeeey~
Luka
Knows
but waiting for them to downplay it with love square nonsense.
The fact of the matter is that Luka nor Marinette can get anything in the show without sacrifices.
Marinette gets the chance to go to New York for fashion? Completely sidelined because she's Ladybug and apparently she's just stuck in this job she didn't ask for and can't be happy and Chloe drama, so forget what Marinette wants and opportunities she could have; it's Audrey Bourgeois anyway so it doesn't matter.
Luka finds a sweet girl who's a creative type like him and they share a favorite singer? She's already in love with someone else and he didn't stand a chance because love square. It doesn't matter what Luka's personality is or how compatible he is with Marinette; not being Adrien makes him incompatible with Marinette from the standpoint of the show.
Marinette finally gets to be guardian and the convenience of pulling miraculouses out whenever she wants? Fu lost his memory, everyone's identities were revealed barring Ladybug and Chat Noir, and it's "all her fault," literally because she had emotions and was still recovering from Adrien and Kagami being together, no other reason.
Luka gets to know who his dad is, and it's the guy he's idolized? Well, said guy abandoned him, Anarka, and Juleka to chase music, and Luka's favorite song was actually all about how proud Jagged was about that decision.
"Crocoduel" had me laughing at how much of a surrender/retcon it was from the writers, and this episode seems like it's just going to further it. I mean, the whole thing might as well already be out already.
Luka figures out her identity? Well, expect Luka to either realize the "meant to be" of LadyNoir (perhaps figuring out Chat's identity too), or he won't be around like Alya is because Alya puts pressure on Marinette and Luka doesn't. He might not even tell her, or it'll be like a reverse "Silencer" where Luka sees Marinette's identity through Second Chance and then Marinette tells him later, but the "reverse" part is because Marinette is going to Adrien, so whereas Luka gave a confession, Marinette is giving what is essentially a rejection (because she's Ladybug and is thus tied to Adrien/Chat).
Also, I know it wasn't in this trailer, but I find it absolutely disgusting how the show treats Luka. Going off of the first trailer, have you guys ever thought about the fact that this is the second time Luka has played an instrument for the love square? Because he's done it in the removed timeline in "Chat Blanc" too. I don't even care if it's "portrayed" as a love square moment or just a "comforting Adrien" moment.
It's Luka, leading Marinette by the hand to the love interest she's forced to be with who isn't him, and letting them sit together while he plays sad violin (I've predicted that Luka would play violin for the love square for ages after I heard it hinted that he might play it).
Also also, here's Luka and Marinette spending time together, being friends and being cute, and--oh, no, Adrien's here and he's sad, everyone pay attention.
If Luka wasn't a threat to the love square, the writers wouldn't be afraid to give him ample amounts of screen time with Marinette where he's helping out and they're being dorks without any of this other stuff. It's just boring/predictable because basically every episode of Season 4 has been Marinette stressing out or trying to prevent other people from making mistakes.
Remember "Silencer" where Marinette was allowed to be happy? Those first few minutes where it was just her in her creative element with Luka and a group of friends that weren't tied down by the requirement of "must be female"? Marinette blamed herself for Silencer's akumatization in "Crocoduel," but the narrative of "Silencer" itself didn't blame her.
I dunno. I'm thankfully in that position where I can be salty more than heartbroken. I mean, I've been around bad writing for long enough that I can see this stuff coming from a mile away, it's almost sad. Lukanette never kissing and breaking up in S4E01 was so obvious that watching the episode really wasn't necessary for me. I've grown to find fun in doing fix-its or predicting what'll happen, though at this point, both have become a little too easy, lol.

You’re getting one reply, my dude.
Chat Noir did NOT fall in love with Ladybug on first sight. It was kinda the same way as with Luka; she was little awkward and anxious at first, but later showed how amazing she is. This is what made BOTH Luka AND Chat fall in love with her. So I don't understand why you see Luka positively and Chat negatively.
“First sight” is referring to “first episode,” so “Origins” for love square and “Captain Hardrock” for Lukanette. That’s not even the issue
Also, no. Luka was charmed by Marinette before he saw how “amazing” she was (at best, he heard about the photo curse breakage from Juleka given that the “Reflekta” picture is hanging where Luka can clearly see it from his bed), and then he fell deeper with the whole, “that girl is incredibly brave” line, whereas Chat Noir only got big heart eyes and started being interested in Ladybug when she was doing “amazing things.”
Marinette disliked Adrien at first. That was due to the situation.
...Yeah? A very dumb situation and misunderstanding that led to needless drama and the briefest one-sided “Enemy to Friend to Crush” subplot that I have ever seen and still made the jump all the more jarring? Lukanette’s “problem” revolves around the love square existing, not misunderstandings that hold no weight or value (even Adrimi is guilty of this because Kagami thinks that Adrien loves Marinette; Lukanette is the only ship free of misunderstandings), which is why it’s so ridiculous to me when people say “you can’t ship Lukanette because Adrien/love square,” because shipping Lukanette (as with any other Marinette ship) would usually imply that the love square isn’t a problem anymore..
And he din't lie. Adrien said that he's never had any friends BESIDE CHLOE.
Ohohooookay, now you are literally lying about what is said in the actual “Origins” episode, or just not telling the full truth.
Because yes, Adrien did say that he’s never had any friends besides Chloe... to Nino.
Adrien: I've known Chloé since I was a little kid. I know she's not perfect, but I can't throw her under the bus. She's like my only friend.
But what does he say when it’s time to clear the air with Marinette?
Adrien: Hey. I just wanted you to know that I was only trying to take the chewing gum off your seat, I swear. I've never been to school before. I've never had friends.
He tells her that he’s never had friends, yet he tells Nino that Chloe is “like his only friend” and will go on later in “Malediktator” to explicitly say that Chloe is his friend.
Adrien being Chloe’s friend in “Origins” was a huge dealbreaker for both Alya and Marinette, then Adrien lied to her and said that he’s never had any friends (which, I get it, a lot of people miss because I fully admit that the atmosphere in the umbrella scene is really good and you will miss it if you’re a heavy shipper not focusing on the details; you can say it a nicer way by going, “he worded it poorly” or “the writers are bad at dialog,” but the fact is that he told her something that wasn’t true), which started their relationship on false pretenses. It’s just like in “Gamer” where he exaggerates (whether intentionally or otherwise) to fish for someone’s pity/sympathy/forgiveness.
Adrien has tried and actually confessed his love to Ladybug. Ladybug knows that Chat loves her. Marinette has never gotten the chance to do that. She's also sending mixed signals when she panics.
So when Marinette would have the chance to confess, she doesn't and instead denies it. This isn't her fault, but it does mean that Adrien can't be sure. She's told him that she's not in love with him. So you can't really compare Chat and Marinette.
Yes I absolutely can and I absolutely will, because Adrien not being sure about how she feels sure didn’t stop him when Ladybug has repeatedly pushed him away when he’s leaned close to her/tried to kiss her hand. Like, wow that’s sure interesting how “Marinette might love someone else, maybe these hearts are friendly” (because yes, he would absolutely be dense enough for that) didn’t stop him from confessing to her in “Chat Blanc” the instant he thought she was Ladybug.
Same with “Stormy Weather 2,” he doesn’t even consider the what ifs of if she were in love with him and what his reaction would be, and “Weredad” is basically a full confirmation that he’s not interested in her. He’s basically like, “Meh, she doesn’t love me, so it doesn’t matter.”
Ladybug also hasn't said ,,I don't feel about you that way". She kind of talked around it because she doesn't want to hurt him.
My dude, my bro, my guy, don’t be in my inbox to come at me with arguments unless you’re ready for me to pull out the transcripts.
Ladybug in “Glaciator“: Listen, I don't wanna play around with your feelings. It would be the same as lying to you. I don't wanna do that. You're more than a partner, Cat Noir. You're my friend. And I'd never wanna lie to a friend.
Cat Noir: Why do you think it'd be lying?
Ladybug: Because there's this boy I...
Adrien later, a direct confirmation to the audience that he’s aware that Ladybug doesn’t feel that way for him: Perhaps Ladybug will love me someday. I mean, like I love her.
Ladybug in “Frozer” because clearly that message didn’t get through anyway: I can't accept this rose from you. I told you already. I'm in love with someone else. (after which he asks about “what if this guy didn’t exist” which means literally nothing and is just him reaching unless he’s planning to enact a murder which he obviously isn’t)
Ladybug in “Ladybug” because he’s still hoping for no reason: But the real Ladybug's heart still belongs to someone else.
Ladybug again in “Miracle Queen”: I can't be in love with you Cat Noir, you know that.
Seems pretty clear to me.
Besides, it wasn't the fact that Marinette confessed nor the fact they knew their identities that the world ended. It was because Gabriel was still Hawkmoth, so he manipulated the situation to his advantage.
Yes? And then Chat Blanc told her that “our love did this,” which puts blame on Marinette. That’s my point (though I’ll let Chat Blanc off the hook for that one since he’s akumatized... however it still doesn’t make much sense as to how he knows that Gabriel saw him transform unless he knew that Gabriel was watching from somewhere (it was Nathalie and Gorilla actually); he could’ve just presumed that Gabriel had known for a while, there was no evidence he saw that told him it was him transforming into Chat Noir in front of Nathalie and Gorilla that tipped Gabriel off and it’s also super unfair to blame Marinette for it anyway when it was Gabriel behind this whole thing but sure, just make Marinette feel at fault for the world almost ending).
Because that’s what the love square is all about; making Marinette feel bad about liking a boy, Marinette being humiliated for trying to confess to said boy, the universe constantly sabotaging her whenever she manages to do something right, having Marinette reconsider her feelings for Chat Noir AND blush at his cheek kiss after he ditched her as Adrien (presumably; we never saw Gabriel tell Adrien he couldn’t go and Chat Noir made plans with Ladybug as if he planned to ditch them even if Gabriel didn’t do anything) to go prepare a date with Ladybug (wow that sure is interesting how we don’t get an equivalent moment for Marinette from Adrien in “Chat Blanc” at the end, almost like they only care about making Chat Noir feel good about himself and not Marinette), then get mad when Ladybug doesn’t show up even after she tells him that she has prior plans, throwing a tantrum mid-battle and forcing her to apologize first before he’s finally like, “no... I’m sorry,” and then has the gall to add, “Maybe another time.”
Adrimi didn’t need to exist to torment Marinette. The love square already does a good enough job of that and I despise its very existence in all aspects of the writing.
Chat Noir got his damn closure, he just refuses to give up on the very first girl he saw when he went out heroing (I thought he just wanted to make friends but I guess he decided that wasn’t enough for him and “making friends” was immediately sidelined in favor of chasing after “his lady” (ugh)), who he doesn’t know the likes/dislikes of, who he can’t know the identity of, and who he can’t see all parts of because she has to maintain a professional attitude or everyone in Paris is going to die.
Marinette still hasn’t gotten her closure, so it’s no wonder to me why she’s still pining and struggling, especially when people like Alya keep pushing for the love square even when she asks her for help seeing Adrien as a friend.

Look at Me, Senpai - Hinata x Reader x Daichi
Summary: Reader starts to see Hinata in a different light once he returns from Brazil. It turns out Hinata’s inability to give up isn’t just something restricted to the court. (~3.6k words)
Warnings: fem!reader, nsfw, infidelity, a touch of the yandere
A/N: This got really long so I split it in half lmfao, expect part 2 in a couple of days.
Part 1|| Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5
---
Senpai, I like you.
As you continued to sit courtside, watching Karasuno’s team overtake the opposition led by your boyfriend Daichi Sawamura, your eyes briefly settled on Hinata, the orange-haired first year. When the ball finally sailed over to him, and he hit it with an inhuman speed, the middle blocker’s signature, you thought briefly about his frank and surprisingly serious confession earlier in the day. How bold! You hadn’t taken it seriously of course - your affection towards him was nothing short of motherly. Plus, he was well aware of how serious you were about Daichi. 
What an odd joke, you thought, but you had played along with it despite the fact that you knew he meant what he said, dismissing him with a laugh and a pat on the head.
I like you too, Hinata! You’re very fun to be around!
His smile had only wavered slightly at your words but you could feel his eyes get just a little darker as the twang of rejection set in.
But he was just a baby and this was just puppy love. He’d get over it eventually, right? He’d eventually find someone his own age. 
Suddenly across the court, you could feel Hinata’s gaze fall on you again, and he smiled again, but this time it was different. Maybe it was bleed over from the boundless confidence and determination he had whenever he stepped on the court, but something about the way his eyes flashed just for a moment as he looked at you made your face grow just a little bit warm.
[Years pass.]
“So when’s the wedding?!” 
Your grandmother’s voice blared through the phone in raucous joy as you laughed and tried to field her many follow-up questions. She, like almost everyone else you had told, was incredibly excited about your proposal, and despite the fact that it was only three days later, the high was already starting to fade and you were getting tired of answering the same questions.
When’s the wedding? Where’s the wedding? How excited are you? Are you already pregnant? Are you going to move into a house? 
Between your grandmother, your parents and siblings, your wonderful friends, your neighbors - honestly, literally everyone and their mother - you were feeling incredibly supported during this time. But still, somehow, something felt wrong, and you couldn’t exactly place why. 
Once you had finally answered Grandma’s questions to her satisfaction, you hung up the phone and flopped backwards back into your bed with a sigh. Holding up one hand in front of you to display your engagement ring, you inspected the stone carefully, letting it glimmer in the slowly fading sunlight beaming in through your bedroom window. 
“Mrs. Sawamura,” you tried out the name in a soft whisper. It had a nice sound to it,  ____ Sawamura. This was what you had always wanted, ever since you had met and started dating in high school. You’d always wanted to support his dreams, whether it was excelling at schoolwork, volleyball, joining the police force… and what better way to do it by agreeing to be his wife and spending the rest of your life with him? So many years had passed with you by his side, this was only the next natural step.
So what exactly was this reticence inside of you? You knew he would be good to you, no matter what, even if you felt that something about your relationship had already started to lose its spark. He had been working longer days and later nights, leaving very little time for you, and with all this time left alone, sometimes you regretted not having spent more time in high school or even later on making friends outside of those people he knew. The problem was that the volleyball team was so warm from the start, and you were so invested in caring for them as Daichi was… maybe this was some form of delayed empty nest syndrome, solidifying as the members all grew up and grew apart.
You checked the time on the small wall clock before you. Daichi wouldn’t be home for another couple of hours, and again you couldn’t fault him for this. The ring on your finger looked quite expensive, so he’d clearly worked hard to afford it.
Maybe you would draw.
Minutes passed, maybe even an hour, and as the sun finally set, you set down your pencil and reached over to your window to close the curtains so that the neighbors couldn’t peer into your home once you turned on the lights. Clicking on the bedside lamp, you settled back into a cross-legged position before your large sketchbook again, now taking a second look at your drawing.
An ordinary but hyper realistic-looking crow now peered back at you, almost as if it were wondering why you had decided on putting it to paper out of all the things that could have come to mind. You looked at it carefully and remembered a single fact about crows:
Crows never forget a face.
---
The next morning was Sunday and Daichi was fortunately off work for the day so you sat with your new fiancé at the kitchen table, listening to him talk excitedly about the week as the two of you shared a large omelette and munched on toasted bread.
“Honestly, you wouldn’t believe some of the stuff I see, babe, it’s really something.”
His laugh was always hearty and you couldn’t deny the sparkle in his brown eyes as he shared work shenanigans with you, so while you were uncomfortable with the idea of him being in harm’s way so often as a police officer, you couldn’t help but smile with him whenever he did. His happiness was infectious, especially when he held your hand tightly and squeezed it just like this very moment, interlocking his fingers with yours as he ate with his other hand.
Once he finished eating, he leaned over to kiss you on the forehead, threading his fingers through your hair. 
“Thanks for breakfast, baby,” he whispered, his voice smooth and lowered an octave. With his gaze, he drank up the image of you only in his oversized t-shirt and panties before pulling you towards him so that you straddled his hips as he sat on the chair. With you pressed close to him like this, between his hardening cock and the edge of the table, you could feel your breath hitch ever so slightly in your throat. Years had passed and you were still like this - you were still the shy, bashful girl who dared to date the captain of the volleyball team. 
“Daichi…,” you trailed off, as he started to litter soft kisses on your collarbones.
“Do you want to uh…,” he paused and pulled back, a smile spreading across his features, as one of his hands found its way up your shirt to palm your breast, “... start off our morning right?”
 He didn’t bother waiting for your reply before his lips met yours for dessert.
---
Parted thighs and many soft sighs later, the two of you lay side by side in pleasant exhaustion. You stared at the ceiling, your cheeks flushed as you pulled air into your overworked lungs. Daichi’s head found its way to rest in the softness of your abdomen and you languidly caressed his hair, your body still buzzing from lovemaking. 
Daichi was clearly apologizing for passing out the moment he came home, you knew, and you appreciated his thoughtfulness. As you continued to softly scratch his scalp, the soft glow of the late morning sun warmed the two of you up even further and you knew that this feeling had to be what ballads were all about.
Love. 
You loved Daichi. Right?
His fingers traced up and down your thighs, just barely avoiding the dampness of him releasing inside you just moments earlier slowly leaking from your center.
“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, as his fingers traveled your skin. He always told you this, reminded you were the most wonderful girl in the world. 
And he was the most wonderful man on Earth. How incredible it was that you had found each other, you thought, as you lay together for what felt like hours and found yourself dozing off in each other’s embrace. 
Yes, this was enough.
---
“You don’t have to go all out babe, it’s just the guys!” Daichi’s loud voice carried from outside the bathroom as you perfected your mascara. You ignored him with a playful roll of the eye even though you couldn’t see him, focusing on perfecting a winged eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man. It had been a while since you had dressed up, and it didn’t hurt to really go all out. This was a sort of mini-reunion anyway and what better way to make your fiancé proud than to make all his friends jealous?
“I thought you said I was pretty this morning,” you called out, as you dabbed perfume behind your ears and at the center of your chest. “Don’t you want everyone else to know?”
With that you posed dramatically at the end of the hallway, cat-walking with a face so straight it was ridiculous until you reached Daichi who stood at the front of your door, holding in a laugh. You burst into laughter once you reached him, falling into his chest.
“Let’s go see your old team!” You said, quickly pushing him away playfully when his eager hands settled too comfortably on your ass. He nodded, deciding to grab your hand instead as your cab approached.
Your car ride was short and your mind started to wander as you idly rubbed the knuckles of Daichi’s hand with your thumb. You remembered him telling you vaguely about one of his teammates returning to Japan, prompting the reunion, the orange-haired one named Hinata who you recalled was nothing short of a ball of sunshine and had confessed to you once.
Senpai, I like you.
Well, he would probably have gotten over that crush by now. It had been years.
The restaurant was loud when you entered, following Daichi closely. A table full of young men almost erupted in praise once the two of you approached.
“Captain!”
Tanaka, who you recognized easily from his shaved head and brash attitude came sailing over to essentially crush Daichi in a headlock, but before he could reach him, the orange-haired boy who had just graced your thoughts a couple of minutes earlier beat him to it, slapping him heartily on the back.
“You finally made it! Did you miss me?” Hinata said, with a grin and for a split second, you thought you saw his eyes flit to you. Without warning, your mind started to race, realizing that immediately your face had started to warm as you watched your goofy little underclassman with a crush talk and tease your fiancé animatedly- 
And to your dismay, you realized you couldn’t take your eyes off of him.
---
You couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had you unsettled throughout the lively dinner - was it the fact that even though you sat by Kiyoko, the previous team manager, she seemed to be more focused on eating quietly, a smile on her face as she basked in the glory days with the boys? Or was it the fact that you could see Hinata’s rare but noticeable furtive glances towards you, the ones that Daichi seemed to miss now that he was more than a little drunk judging by how red he was in the face? Maybe it was the fact that you were trying to understand what was this sudden gravitational pull you felt towards Hinata at first glance, something that made very little sense to you and seemed oh-so-very-wrong.
Was it the fact that while he was still shorter than average for a volleyball player, his time in Brazil had tanned his skin nicely, bringing out the well toned muscles in his shoulders or arms? Or that while his eyes were still bright and kind, the angles in his face had grown sharper and his smile had made the very slight shift from determined to confident and almost even cocky? 
What the hell was it that had you suddenly so distracted?
You fiddled with the ring on your finger above the table between bites of grilled meat and poured sake, trying desperately to make small talk with Kiyoko, only to be disappointed by how unsuccessful you were in engaging yourself in meaningful conversation.
Eventually you decided to get up for some fresh air, giving Daichi a little nudge on the back to let him know you were stepping out and took a seat in a small chair set outside the chilly restaurant meant for smokers. It was nice to have a little more quiet, and you briefly pondered if Daichi would be okay with you going home first. 
Something was terribly, terribly wrong, and it was about to get way worse since it turned out that Hinata had followed you out.
“Heya!” Hinata’s voice startled you as he approached, quickly taking a seat beside you. Your face flushing for the second time today (you blamed it on the alcohol, of course), you eked out a hello, mentally shaming yourself for being so awkward.
“You were quiet in there...” 
“A-ah, yes! It’s just I haven’t really seen any of you guys in a while and we weren’t close, so it was a bit hard to follow the conversations…,” you trailed off, not making eye contact. You decided that a good way to politely add distance would be to re-introduce yourself even though you knew exactly who he was now, and you knew he remembered you. 
You stuck your hand out to greet him formally with a handshake.
“I don’t know if you still remember me but I’m ____ -”
“I know,” Hinata interrupted curtly, without looking directly at you and your hand fell to your side slowly and returned to your lap. He stared out at the street with his face unsmiling, a look that appeared almost unnatural for someone like him and then turned back to you to give you a wide smile anew.
“How have you been? I didn’t think I’d see you here again!” He was cheerful again and polite as always, but for a moment you felt mildly insulted, as though he’d implied that maybe he didn’t expect you to be with Daichi for this long.
Maybe you were just overreacting.
...
Yeah, you were just overreacting.
“Mmm, things have been great!” You replied earnestly, fiddling subconsciously with your engagement ring again, only to catch him laying eyes on it but making no comment. For some reason, you didn’t feel like it was worth mentioning either.
Silence sat between the two of you as you stared out into the road again together. Two strangers who’d known each other briefly. You wished he would go back in and the night would be over and you could forget the fact that you were suddenly attracted to him.
Ah, that was it. And that would be it.
Hinata spoke again and your heart thumped at his simple question, “Are you happy?”
You gave him a look of confusion but you could already tell what he meant just by the look in his eyes. The same look he gave his opponents on the court, the one that demanded to be taken seriously. 
While, it wasn’t exactly the same look that he gave you when you brushed his confession off those many years ago, it was pretty darn close.
“Y-yes?” You asked, feigning incomprehension. He smiled in response but not with his eyes.
“When’s the wedding?”
The shift of his tone back to excitement was jarringly unnatural, especially since you hadn’t even brought up your wedding, and now you wondered how one person could be confident enough to appear out of nowhere and ask bold questions to a complete stranger.
“I’m not sure yet… we haven’t planned yet.”
“Great!” He interjected suddenly, and rose to his feet. “I still have time!”
Time?
He turned to re-enter the restaurant as you looked at him in shock and incredulity. “Excuse me, time to do what?” You asked, immediately questioning why those words had come out of your mouth the moment they did.
Hinata turned to face you, his smile only mildly sinister when compared to the seriousness of his gaze.
“Time to convince you, of course. I've always liked you from the start, ___, and I think… actually I know that I can treat you better than Daichi does.”
And with that he turned the corner, re-entering the restaurant and leaving you in a complete and utter shock.
---
Who would believe you?
Sweet little Hinata threatening to break up your upcoming marriage? 
Sweet little Hinata planning to steal your heart right under his senpai’s nose? 
Sweet little Hinata texting you suddenly at 11pm the next day while you got ready for bed just to let you know that he was “thinking of you”?
You looked at the phone incredulously, your other hand still holding your toothbrush wondering how to best respond to the message. The obvious answer was to block his number - you weren’t exactly sure how he’d gotten it anyway, but as your finger hovered over the button, you paused.
Then Daichi turned the corner of your bathroom door and startled, you fumbled and dropped your phone.
“You okay, Shakes?” He joked, as he reached for your phone, but you grabbed it quickly, locking it and placing it facedown on the bathroom sink. You quickly nodded, continuing to brush rapidly.
“Can you believe he grew taller?”
Your eyes rose.
“H-he?”
Daichi laughed. “Hinata, of course. He was such a shrimp, remember? I mean he’s still not that tall, but he definitely looks a lot more like an adult, right?”
“Y-yeah…,” you agreed, sheepishly, as Daichi hopped into bed, leaving you to squirm at the sight of your own reflection in the bathroom mirror. 
---
The next morning, you woke up to no new messages on your phone and breathed a sigh of relief, assuming that your non-response had sent the point across to the young volleyball player. With that odd guilt now off your shoulders, you occupied yourself with the first steps of wedding planning, spending most of the day browsing through websites and calling companies. You were determined to do this mostly yourself and do it right.
You weren’t exactly sure what you were trying to prove but over the next couple of weeks, you dove headfirst into flowers and venues and elaborate table accents and fancy invitations and ignoring Hinata’s messages that had now upgraded to thirst traps that kept your eyes lingering on the phone way too long, while Daichi spent more and more time at work, and less and less time with you, until suddenly…
“Daichi!”
For the fourth night in a row, Daichi had come home in the middle of the night and wordlessly crawled into bed beside you as you tossed and turned waiting for him to come home, because that was all you did: waste time until he returned to you, of course. What else could you do? Your world was so small, after all.
And it would only get smaller once you got married. Your miniscule sphere of existence centered around Daichi and you were beginning to resent it. 
Was that the reason you were starting to save every one of Hinata’s dirty pictures?
Dirty was an overstatement - you had seen everything up to his V-line and while your artist’s eye could now trace every single bit of his anatomy from memory, you couldn’t say anything he sent you was truly risqué, could you? Maybe he sent those pics to every girl on his phone, or maybe you were different...
That was besides the point. The point was that suddenly the man who lay beside you every night was no longer doing it for you.
“___,” Daichi whispered groggily, revealing that he really had just passed out the moment his head hit the pillow. “I really need to sleep… what’s the problem?” 
You faltered, unable to come up with something to explain why you’d just thrown a mini-tantrum.
“... there’s no problem, I was just… never mind.”
Too many things bubbled inside you and were left unspoken that night, and so in order to express yourself, you settled on, or rather on top, something way worse.
“I have to admit, I didn’t expect it to be this easy.”
Hinata didn’t mean to be offensive - howcouldhebehewassuchasweetboyafterall - but the pang of guilt in your chest said otherwise, as you inhaled and exhaled softly under the weight of his muscular body pressed against yours.
Maybe you felt bad, but the feeling was short-lived because once Hinata’s fingers dug into the flesh of your hips and gripped you tightly, firmly, so much so in fact you were sure it was just to prove that for all these years you had really belonged to him, he thrust into you so sharply and precisely that you let out a gasp as the intense pleasure blinded you.
“S-Shoyo!”
“Say it louder,” was all he whispered as he flipped you over before slamming you down onto him hard, sending another wave of intense stimulation through you.
You screamed his name again, tears now coming to your eyes as he bucked his hips against you, bouncing you up and down his deliciously large cock at a brutal, energetic pace, knowing very well that you couldn’t keep up from the short, unintelligible sounds now leaping out of your throat.
“You’ve always been mine, ___. You just didn’t know it yet.”
Warm wetness streaming from your face almost as much as from the space between your legs, you couldn’t find the words to protest. Did you want to protest? Was he right? Wasn’t he right?
Your mind was too hazy for thought, and instead you let selfish desire overtake you for the rest of the night.

i’m not sure if this is a good prompt but i’d love to see something based off of jealous eddie in the new episode. established relationship with buck reassuring him about how he and taylor are just good friends. maybe getting together with a first kiss. i love all your work, but don’t feel like you need to write this if it doesn’t spark anything. thank you!
so i haven’t had a chance to watch the new episode yet, but i’ve seen gifs of jealous!eddie and it’s given me life lmao so here we go 
Taylor is at the station...again. And that’s fine. Totally fine, Eddie tells himself over and over in his head, as he watches Buck moon over the reporter. 
A week ago Eddie was content with his life and everyone’s place in it. Or so he thought, until he realized exactly why he was so bothered by Taylors presence at the station. All thanks to Chimney and his extraordinarily large mouth. 
Eddie huffs, annoyed just thinking about it. He’d been in the locker room after a long shift, and Buck had run in and changed faster than lightning, barely taking the time to tie his shoelaces. Eddie had asked if he wanted to come over and grab a beer, maybe play some video games with him and Christopher, but Buck had politely declined. “Sorry man, I’ve got plans with Taylor, she’s waiting outside for me. I’ll see you guys Monday! Bye!” He’d waved and sped out of the station before Eddie could so much as think of an appropriate response. 
Chim had laughed and said something that had most definitely struck a nerve, whether he’d intended it to or not. “Hey, cheer up, there’s other fish in the sea.” 
And Eddie had thought in that instance: But I don’t want anyone else. 
The very next day he’d broken things off with Ana. She’d been more confused than anything, initially, wondering if maybe she’d done something wrong, which had prompted Eddie to spill his guts to her about these decidedly romantic feelings he’s been harboring for his best friend. 
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize, not until last night, or I wouldn’t have dragged you into this, I just--” He’d tried to explain, tongue tied and at a loss. Ana was perfect, after all. Intelligent, a self possessed woman with ambition, good humor; she got along just swell with Christopher, and she was gorgeous to boot. But... 
“Hey,” Ana had taken one of his hands into her own and squeezed gently, comfortingly. “So...this sucks. Because I really do like you Edmundo. A lot. But I am glad you were able to sort your feelings out. I know--especially growing up in a Hispanic household--how difficult it can be to come to that kind of conclusion. Have you...told him, yet?” 
Eddie had shaken his head no, “Um, actually? You’re the first person I’ve told.” 
That had come as a huge surprise to Ana, who, though heartbroken, had still offered a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, in the future. 
Now, a week later, Eddie still hasn’t said a single word of this to anyone else. Not to Hen or Chim, not to his Captain--though sometimes the way Bobby looks over at him makes Eddie think the man knows something--and most definitely not to Buck himself. 
Instead, he departs from the crew, shoulders stiff, irritation spiking, and makes his way to the bunks. Which is where Buck finds him a few minutes later, sulking. 
“You ok?” 
Eddie’s head swivels towards the entrance and he can’t help but frown at the tall figure standing there. It’s all Bucks fault, with the way his hair goes poofy with strawberry curls when it’s humid outside and those dumb contagious too-wide smiles of his and that look on his face when he gets hyped whenever he gets a chance to share any of the million factoids he’s learned--all of it makes Eddie want to rush up to him and kiss his stupid face. 
“Eddie?” And suddenly said face is right in front of his, just inches away, and Buck is waving a concerned hand in front of him. “Earth to Eddie, you alright?” 
Eddie blinks and quickly backs away, nearly falling off the other side of the bed, if not for the fact that Buck springs into action, one long arm going around Eddie’s back and holding him upright.
Now they’re impossibly close and Buck is staring at him all wide eyed and breathing kind of funny and Eddie is swaying forward ever so slightly, not breaking eye contact. He’s not sure what it is he’s doing, except that his hand is now caressing the side of Buck’s face and Buck is leaning into it and Eddie's tilting his head to the side and then their lips are meeting at the middle and Eddie can only describe the feeling as sparks of electricity bursting in his chest.
It's only when they finally pull away that reality comes crashing back down around Eddie and white hot panic sets in. "Shit! Shit, I'm sorry. I--that wasn't supposed to--I mean--" he covers his face with the hand that had been cradling Buck's cheek not five seconds ago and it's warm and butterflies flutter around in his belly.
Buck sits back on the bunk and clears his throat, "Um, I thought you and Ana were..."
Eddie looks up instantly, "No, no, we broke it off last week. Or, I guess I did..."
Buck nods. "Oh."
Eddie slides his sweaty palms across his pants and looks away, nervous. "I didn't mean to kiss you." Not when he knows Buck is dating Taylor. Not when she's literally in the other fucking room. Jesus Christ what is he even doing?
If Eddie were looking he would see the hurt that flashes across Buck's face for a split second before he's able to school his expression. "Right. Yeah." He lets out a faint impression of his usually boisterous laughter. "Who wants to be a rebound, right?" And then he's up and gone.
There's a tension hanging in the air between Buck and Eddie after the incident and no matter how badly Eddie tries to pretend it's not there it lingers.
It's Friday night when Eddie rallies and asks Buck out for a beer. Christopher is at his aunt's for the night and it's been a while since the last time they hung out together, just the two of them, so he figures it’s worth a shot. 
He’s in the middle of asking Buck to go to a bar with him when who but none other than Taylor pops out from behind Buck, making the two of them jump. She tilts her head back and laughs at their expressions of surprise and Eddie wants to gag at how impeccably pretty she is with all that long red hair and those pumps on her feet that make her legs look like they go for miles. 
“I got bored of waiting for you in the lot, c’mon, happy hour’s almost over.” she bumps her shoulder into his playfully and Eddie watches heartbroken as Buck gives her one of his charming megawatt grins. Taylor notices him staring and smiles politely. “Hey firefighter Diaz, didn’t see you there--we’re gonna’ hit Bahama Mama, you should come with us.” 
Eddie tries to decline the invite but Taylor is relentless and despite his protests, he finds himself at the counter, ordering drinks next to Taylor, fifteen minutes later. He hates small talk, and apparently so does Taylor, because the moment Buck steps away to go to the restroom she turns to Eddie with her razor sharp stare and says, “So I heard you kissed Buck the other day and tried to do a little take back, huh?” 
Eddie wants to glare at her and tell her to mind her business but this is her business, and he’s the one in the wrong here, not Taylor, and so instead of lashing out he bites his tongue and apologizes. 
Taylor blinks. “What? Why are you saying that to me? It’s Buck you should be apologizing to. I’m not the one who’s heart you’re playing games with.” she snaps. 
“What? What are you talking about? Look, I’m trying to say sorry here--I kissed him in the heat of the moment, and I want to say I wasn’t thinking straight but the truth is I’ve been in love with him for longer than I can admit but I know you two are dating and I know I overstepped, that wasn’t my intention at all so I just--” 
“We’re not dating...” 
Startled, Eddie turns around to face Buck, who’s standing behind him, having heard a good portion of that conversation. “What.” 
“Is that why you said that? That you didn’t mean to kiss me? Because you thought Taylor and I were going out?” Buck can’t help but sound hopeful, gulping when it takes Eddie a moment to answer. 
“You’re really not dating?” Eddie breathes out. 
Buck shakes his head. “We’re just friends.” 
It’s quiet for a moment before Taylor decides to break the silence. “So...I’m gonna go get us another round and let you two geniuses figure this out.” 
As soon as she’s out of ear shot Buck sits down across from Eddie and both men try to speak simultaneously. “Oh, sorry, no, you go first.” Buck insists. 
Eddie twiddles his thumbs and bites his lip. “How much of that did you hear, exactly?” 
Buck’s heart pounds in his chest like a drum. “Uh, I think I walked up to the part where you told her you’re in love...with me? And for the record, I--you know, I--” Buck stumbles over his confession. “I’m in love with you. Too.” 
“Jesus, Buck,” Eddie leans over the table precariously and holds Bucks face in his hands, not giving a damn about the fact that they’re in a crowded bar. “Are you serious?” 
Buck nods softly and the scruff of his five o’clock shadow gently scratches the palms of his hand and Eddie can’t get over how much he likes that feeling. He could hold Buck like this forever. “Can I kiss you?” 
“Please.” Eddie lets Buck take the lead this time, digs his hands into those blonde curls as Buck twists a hand in his shirt and pulls him even closer. 
Taylor finds them making out like teenagers in the corner of the bar twenty minutes later and pats herself on the back for a job well done. It’s about time those two idiots figured it out.

Steve was distraught. He sat completely still, head buried in his hands as his mind whirred. I string hand on his shoulder caused the man to look up, blue eyes meeting Tony's brown ones which were filled with sorrow and pity.
"I know you love her, but it's over Steve. They have her there's-" a crack in his voice made the billionaire pause, "there's nothing we can do this time."
"But I left her, Tony!" Steve shouted, standing up abruptly. "I could've saved her, and I didn't!" Steve's face was red, Tony's face taken aback. "She's your daughter and I didn't even save her..."
"Hey, stop." Tony snapped, pulling Steve's attention to him instantly. "I know she's my daughter but I also know that you love her enough that you wouldn't give up on her if you did t have too!" Tony wanted to shout, to scream at his friend.
"He's right, Steve. Well all know you love her." Nat smirked, arms crossed over her chest as she now leant in the doorway.
"How long have you been standing there?" Steve asked and Nat simply quirked a brow. Steve nodded and realised she'd most probably been there the entire time. "And how do you know...?"
"That your in love with y/n?" Nat clarified. Steve nodded. "It's obvious, Capsicle. You literally give her heart eyes whenever she's not looking and you always fidget when you're around her. But my favourite part," Nat pushed off the door frame, walking into the room, "is that you act like you hate her. I new you didn't have great experience with women, but I didn't know it was that bad." She remarked and Steve made to protest but was cut off.
"She's right, y'know. There's no way in hell a girl's gonna ask you out if you critique every last thing about her and give her the evil eyes every time she looks at you." Tony added, making Steve shut his mouth and stare at the ground again.
"B-but it's been weeks." Steve stuttered. "What's if she's... what if they killed her, Tony? I think that's on my. Her blood would be on my hands." He rambled, and Tony was about to reply when Bruce appeared at the door.
"You guys might want to come downstairs." He said quietly, and the three avengers already in the room looked at each other, confused. Steve quickly swiped the threatening tears from his eyes, him and Tony making their way down the stairs as fast as they could.
...
I burst through the doors, immediately met with the sight of Tony pointing to some papers the person next to him was holding and discussing something with them. My face broke out into the biggest smile, the sight of my dad after the hell I'd been through like a shelter from the rain.
I waved frantically, already breaking into a run towards him, his head snapping up at the wild movement and his face morphing into one of shock and relief, his arms held open.
"Lil?" His voice was full of concern as my arms wrapped around his neck when we collided, my legs wrapping around his waist and his hands finding their place on my back. "Oh my god, Lil, you scared us so much, scared me." He whispered into my hair, pulling back enough to cup my face in his hands. "It's you." I smiled.
I nodded my head furiously, burying my wet face into his shoulder, jumping down from the embrace.
"Lily?" The unsure voice from the edge of the room caught my attention, a grin spreading on his lips seeing me. I held back tears looking at him, my smile still wide. He walked towards me, enveloping me in a hug so tight it could crush a normal person. "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." He kept saying, his hand tangled in my hair.
I shook my head, sorrow filling my eyes as in stared at the man that had engulfed me with his body. He pulled back, looking sternly into my eyes.
"I know you think I hate you. But, I wouldn't wish what happened to you on anyone, Lily. Not even my worst enemy." Steve whispered, his eyes clouded with pity.
"Well that's new." Tony remarked seeing us hug, confusion lacing his tone. "Hey, kid, what's with the mute?" He pondered as I gave no verbal reply, Steve now looking deeply concerned for me too.
I sighed through my nose, pulling back the collar of the jacket to reveal the long, vermillion scar across my neck.
"You should go see the others, they'll be happy to know you're back." Tony said with a pitiful smile.
...
A million warm embraces later, tears shared and hearty laughs exchanged, I was just about ready to fall asleep and never wake up. I was about to excuse myself when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned to see Steve, a stoic expression on his face.
"Can we talk?" He asked, nodding his head towards the door. I nodded, following him out into the hallway. I laid my shoulder against the wall, observing Steve's constant pacing.
So what's up?
I quickly jotted down, handing the small electronic device Tony had retrieved for me to Steve, raising a brow. He stopped, looking me in the eye. He swallowed thickly, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"I can't tell you how sorry I am, I let him do that to you. It's my fault. I don't even know how to live with myself, I should've come looking for you, or-" I cut him off with a tap on the shoulder as I handed him the pad.
Cap, it's fine. I'm fine.
I stressed, writing in italics. The man read it with furrowed brows. cleared my throat before continuing.
I just don't know how long I can keep pretending to be happy, I just want to die.
I finally confessed, vision blurred and screen obscured with tears. A tear rolled down my cheek.
I don't know how to go on, every tome I close my eyes all I see him, what he did
My gaze averted from his as he read.
"Hey, hey. You're strong, you can do this. Let's go get you cleaned up." Steve suggested, looking at my through his lashes and placing a careful hand on my shoulder, which I flinched away from. I gulped.
Steve, there's a reason he let me go
I wrote down, finally meeting his gaze. His eyes were full of questions he didn't dare ask.
He let me go to send a message. He said that if we interfere with him again what happened to me will be child's play compared to what will happen.
His face dropped.
If a few days of torture is child's play, what does he have planned?
I asked, sobbing now.
"Lily, you were gone for three weeks." Steve added quietly, making me look up from where I'd been starting at the floor to meet his eyes. My eyes widened. Steve grimaced, nodding solemnly.
"Go have a shower, I'll grab you some fresh clothes and a towel. We'll talk more when you're feeling warmer and cleaner." He suggested again, and was met with a nod from me this time.
We reached my room, Steve holding the door opening for me and me giving a tiny smile that said 'thanks' as I walked in. I headed straight for the bathroom, taking my time in peeling the ripped tank top from my body and throwing the muddied shorts on the floor with them. Just then, the door opened, Steve walking in with a towel and some cloths folded on top. His eyes widened and he instantly apologised.
"Sorry, lily, I thought you'd be in the shower by now." But before he could walk out his eyes finally locked on me. His eyes raked over me, his eyes surveying my wrists, which were rubbed red-raw from chains and ropes; my neck, which was red and violently bruised; my bruised upper arms; my waist that was covered with finger-shaped bruises; my thighs, that were also bruised and finally my back that starred at him in the mirror. It was a mess of diagonal cuts, which were not longer bleeding but were still a blood red colour. I looked down at my feet nervously, feeling weird under his gaze.
"He did this to you?" Steve asked, tears in his eyes. I nodded, slowly looking back up at him. Before he could say anything else I cupped his face in my hands, smashing my lips to his in a kiss that conveyed everything I could never say out loud. After a moment, his hands reached for my face, returning the kiss. Our lips welded together, his tongue poking at my lower lip, begging for entrance that I granted. His tongue rolled over mine in languid stroked, soothing. I pulled back first, turning and pulling the shower curtain open. I climbed in, turning on the water and getting lost in the warmth and steam that swallowed me.
...
I walked out the bathroom, clad in one of Steve's T-shirt he grabbed for me, some shorts and fresh underwear. He must've noticed that I liked stealing Tony's shirts and given me one of his instead. Rubbing my hair dry with a towel, I dumped it on a near-by chair when my hair was only damp. Steve instantly stood from where he was sat on the edge of my bed when he saw me, looking at me with an unreadable expression.
I began writing, but before I could finish his lips were on mine and the little device was dropped to the floor. It was less desperate that the last time, more passionate and slow. It expressed everything we needed to say, and that was enough. My arms hooked around his neck, my fingers playing with the hairs at the base of his neck, whilst one of his tangled in my hair, the other resting on my cheek.
"You talk too much." He mumbled against my lips and we both let out a breath meant to be a laugh. "Too soon?" He asked before leaning in for another, our lips locking together. He pulled back and looked in my eyes, his hand running through my dampened hair.
He cleared his throat, stepping back from me, his gaze flitting from the door before landing back on me.
"I should go." He spoke, heading for the door. As he placed his hand on the door knob he froze at when I tapped on his broad back.
Don't.
The little device said. He had a hopeful look in his eyes.
Go. Don't go. Please.
I wrote , looking at him with pleading eyes. He nodded, walking back over to me.
I don't think I can be alone tonight.
I stated before climbing into my bed and patting the spot next to me. Steve hesitantly climes in beside me, laying behind me and draping his arm over my waist, pulling me into his firm chest. His body heat radiated over me and sleep soon took over as I sunk into him, his hand playing with my hair.
...
"Lil? Lily? Lily!" I shot up, panting hard and sweat covering my forehead. I slowly look to the side where Tony sat, a concerned look filling his eyes. My gaze looked at the door, where Steve stood, looking over me with what looked like fear, before going back to Tony. "Hey, kiddo, what happed?" He asked, stoking my hair. I swallowed thickly, breathing calmed down.
"You were restless, moving about in your sleep." Steve clarifies from the door, not wearing what he was before. He must've left after I fell asleep. I motioned for Tony to pass me the device which sat on the bedside table and he handed to to me.
I was back there. He was
I couldn't finish writing, the device falling from my shaking hand onto the duvet as I bit back tears, sinking into the embrace Tony held me in.

Set (Rita Calhoun x Reader)
Tumblr media
“Fuck!” you shouted as you kicked over a chair. You’d been doing so well with the interrogation and were seconds from a confession, but then you’d blown it. Amanda got you out of there as soon as the perp started to realize that you weren’t actually interested and began turning on you. He’d been alternating between demanding his lawyer and lunging towards the mirror, screaming about how you were a whore and a liar. 
“Hey, calm down. This isn’t your fault,” Olivia reassured you. She placed her hand on your back and pulled you over towards the table. “There was nothing you could have done.” 
“I could have played into him a bit more. I know that I could have done that,” you grumbled under your breath. Olivia sighed and when you asked for a moment alone, she gave it to you. You tried calling your partner, Rita, but her secretary said she was on her way to see a client. 
During the entirety of your relationship, you’d worked in narcotics. The two of you hadn’t really crossed paths, but then you got into homicide and you saw Rita quite a bit more. She’d defend your guys and things got a little rocky, so you asked for another transfer. Homicide had been a big promotion for you and the only place they’d put you was SVU, so you took it. Rita knew that you had a transfer, but you didn’t like bringing your work home with you, so the two of you hadn’t spoken about where you were now. 
That was why hearing Rita’s voice was such a shock to you whenever you were making your way to Olivia’s office. You saw Rita, Barba, Olivia, and Rollins all discussing something in there. A part of you wanted to burst in there and tell Rita that she couldn’t defend this guy. Instead, you just knocked on Olivia’s door and waited for someone to open it for you. 
“Hey, come on in. I was actually about to be sent out to getcha,” Amanda said as she reached out towards you. You let her pull you inside of the office and you stayed behind her. 
“Y/n here made the arrest, read the guy his rights, and interrogated him. She nearly had a confession from him before he turned hostile,” Olivia said and Rita’s eyebrows shot up. She didn’t miss a beat as she shoved through everyone to get to you. 
“Are you okay?” Rita asked as she started to check over you, panicked. She knew the scummy kind of guys that’d be picked up by the SVU. She also knew that her client was exactly that kind of guy, he’d done it, there wasn’t a doubt in her mind at that. In fact, Rita had never been called by him unless he had absolutely committed the crime. “Did you try to call me? What did he do to you?” 
“I’m fine, he didn’t lay a hand on me. Tried to, but he didn’t. The worst of it I did to myself when I kicked a chair over,” you told Rita. She breathed out a sigh in relief and pulled you tightly against her in a hug. You let her hold your for a couple of moments before you started to wriggle out of her arms a bit. 
“If you do not mind, I must go inform my client that I will not be working as his defense attorney.” Everyone moved aside for Rita to leave. You could feel eyes on you, but nobody was ready to ask the question that you honestly didn’t care about giving an answer to. 
“We’ve been together since before I was homicide. My transfer here was to save the relationship actually, there’s only so many times I can see her get my perps off the hook,” you said with a dry chuckle. “No, Rafael, we aren’t getting married anytime soon, and yes, that was me in her apartment six months ago. Am I excused for the night?” 
“Yes detective. Have a nice night, and put some ice on that foot,” Olivia dismissed you. You gathered your things and met Rita by the interrogation rooms. She took your hand in hers and led you outside to the car. 
“So, SVU?” Rita asked you. It sounded a little more like a question to herself, but you knew to let her process it herself. You waited in silence for Rita to say something again, which didn’t happen until you were nearly halfway to her apartment. “Is it making you happy?” 
“The victims aren’t always dead. I can see the look of relief on their faces when they get their justice. It’s everything I wanted whenever I joined the academy. It’s depressing as hell, but I wouldn’t willingly go anywhere else Rita,” you told her. She smiled and leaned over slightly to press a kiss to your cheek. You wrapped your arm around her shoulders and glanced out her window. “For so long, I saw nothing more drug addicts and dealers who’d ruin anyone to make a quick buck. Then, it was dead bodies and watching people with deep enough pockets literally get away with murder. Now, things are different. It’s harder, but the wins are more satisfying.” 
“You’ve got a career now,” Rita offered. You hummed in satisfaction with her explanation. She’d always been much better with her words than you had. “I guess that makes both of us set.” 
“I guess it does.”

dating stiles stilinski includes...
sarcasm at it’s finest
for example, fourth grade- you broke your mom’s vase that her mom, your grandmother, had given her on her wedding day.
you glanced at stiles and he stood silently, slowly clapping his hands together. “very good..seriously, well done.”
going out with scott and stiles almost every Friday night
having a key to his house
wherever you are, people could probably find stiles and vice-versa
being with stiles when his mom died and holding back your tears because claudia was like your mom too
lydia this, lydia that
“stiles, for the love of all things good and holy just go ask her out!”
“oh my goodness...you cut your hair?”
stiles freaking out because he thought you hated it
“i don’t hate it, i’m just surprised.”
stiles being a lot more touchy after his mom’s death
hugs, lots of hugs
stiles being apart of your family and having a key to your house too
helping him through panic attacks
staying up really late to talk to him
wearing his lacrosse jersey
having really no other friends except for scott and stiles until high school
knowing how to get stiles to open up
movie nights, but only watching star wars
recognizing that you had feelings for him the summer before sophomore year
and hearing him talk abt lydia was literal torture
like you wanted to rip your ears off
study dates
stiles not being able to keep his mouth shut when scott was bitten
“scott’s a werewolf?!”
lowkey having a soft spot for derek, which stiles couldn’t understand
stiles becoming more protective once all of the supernatural mess started happening
“i can protect myself, stiles.”
“i know, but i- i just need to know you’re safe.”
slipping up and calling stiles “bub”
“what did you just call me?”
blushing because you guys didn’t have nicknames for each other.
“i’m not mad. it’s cute, i like it.”
making friends with allison, mostly to keep an eye on her family for scott, but actually getting close
having a run-in with peter at the mall while dress shopping with allison
being very shaken up about it and nearly having a panic attack because of what derek had told you about him
stiles being angry with derek because he didn’t want you dealing with the supernatural
having derek train you in hand-to-hand just in case something were to happen
flipping your shii when you found out scott kissed lydia
loving when stiles grew his hair out
cuddling...totally platonic cuddling
at least that’s what you told yourself
watching stiles sleep because he looked to be at peace and peace was rare
being absolutely terrified when the nogitsune took over stiles
not really trusting stiles very much during that time because you weren’t sure when he was him or when he was void
finding out that he hooked up w/ malia broke you
staying at his house while he was having night terrors per request of his dad
finally telling allison and lydia about your feelings
scott already knowing
“just ask him out. what’s the worst that could happen?”
being relieved when the nogitsune left stiles, but it took you awhile to warm up to him completely
stiles keeping his distance too
you having to try to mend your relationship back together
“what’s your problem?”
“i don’t want to hurt you, y/n/n.”
“stiles, it’s over. you’re okay. i need you back. i need my best friend back.”
having to force your happiness for him when he got togther with malia.
and then you drukenly confessed your feelings for him in front of the whole pack
not speaking to stiles for weeks after that. one, you were embarrassed. two, you couldn’t handle the rejection
but imagine your surprise when lydia told you that stiles and malia broke up
you still didn’t talk to stiles tho
lydia and scott forcing you and stiles to talk to each other
the conversation was slow and awkward at first
“so...you and malia broke up?”
“yeah...she thought it was kind of awkward that you confessed your feelings for me.”
“oh, so it’s my fault.”
“not really, it was going to happen sooner or later.”
then he kissed you like his life depended on it
and you kissed back
for awhile there was a lot of stolen kisses and hidden affection with no label
but in the middle of watching star wars you noticed stiles fidgeting more than usual
“what’s wrong, bub?”
“i- um, are we like official? like i’m yours, you’re mine?”
“we can be whatever you want, whenever you’re ready.”
“well, i want to be your boyfriend.”
“well, then i’m your girlfriend.”
a surprising amount of pda
“you guys are disgustingly cute.”
“shut up, liam.”
stealing kisses in betwen classes
“you, me, my bed, after school?”
hickeys
“babe, are you serious?”
“what? they’re hot.”
stiles’ dad liking you more than he likes stiles
“baby?”
“yeah, bub?”
“i love you.”
“i love you so much more.”
“mhm, not possible.”

[Help]
Niragi Suguru × Reader
^ song that describes how I feel everyday. Also 'Forever Alone Probably by Leanna Firestone'
Hi, welcome to a completely self indulgent vent chapter!
A little back story for this, I've never had a boyfriend, never had my first kiss, never been on a date. All that good stuff. And I can't tell the difference between platonic feelings and romantic feelings. So I thought I was actually starting to like this guy more than friends. He flirted with me, and you know made me think that he liked me romantically too. Well, news flash he has a date with a girl today, he sent me a picture of them holding hands at a picnic, and of course I'm so happy that he's finding happiness, but I wish he hadn't lead me on. Because now it feels like there a hole in my heart, but I still don't know if I felt romantic feelings or platonic feelings. It hurts, but I wonder if it hurts because I want to be the girl holding his hand or if it was because he didn't tell me, even though we're friends and I've told him almost everything. I don't know, so here you go-
Feelings were always hard for you. Having a hard time differentiating if you loved someone or just liked them was extremely difficult.
But Niragi didn't mind.
"Here... I um... got these for you. You said they were your favorites, I saw them, and uh.... thought of you," he said awkwardly handing you the small bunch of flowers. Your eyes lit up, and you hugged him. "Thank you! They're so beautiful!" You exclaimed. "Yeah... that's why they reminded me of you. Other than they're your favorites," he said with a sheepish smile.
"Because they're pretty?"
"And you're beautiful."
___________
"Mmm... Suguru.... my stomach feels weird," you mentioned holding your arms over it, looking over at him. "How so? Are you getting sick?" He asked, pressing the back of his hand to your forehead in worry. "No no no! It feels like bugs are crawling in there, and butterflies are flapping their wings," you explained. "Oh. That's literally called butterflies (N/N). It means you like someone," he teased. Although it hurt him that the 'someone' wasn't him, he was happy for you. "Oh. Is that why I feel them around you? I like you," you responded nonchalantly. He blushed, looking at you. "You... like me?" He asked. "Of course I do! You're my best friend," you said, snuggling into him.
Ouch.
___________
"So.... Mr. (L/N)... um, have you noticed (Y/N) doesn't.... feel? Correctly," Niragi brought up. Your father looked at the young boy, and nodded. "So you've noticed?" You father questioned. "Yeah... she doesn't know the difference between platonic and romantic love it seems," Niragi said. Your father nodded, sitting in the chair across from Niragi. "She never has. Back in primary and secondary school, I'm sure you didn't notice, but she used to get flowers and confessions from boys who liked her, but of course, she thought of it as a friendship feeling. So... she doesn't understand the difference. I think it's been frustrating her more now,'' your father told him.
_______
You cried into Niragi's chest, holding onto him tightly. "I-it feels like there's a hole in my heart, and i-i don't know why! It hurts Suguru, help!" You sobbed, your fingers digging into his jacket.  He held you running his hands over your hair. "(N/N), breathe.... calm down first, alright?" He said softly. You hiccuped and sniffled, but nodded nonetheless.
When you had finally calmed down a bit, Niragi handed you a teacup. "I guessed which one you liked. Hope it's to your liking?" He smiled. You took a sip, the hot liquid filing your mouth. You nodded, and frowned. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Fix it," you murmured. "What?"
"Fix it," you repeated, pointing at your chest where your heart would be. He looked at you with a look of curiosity and sadness. "Things like that... can't be fixed over night. (Y/N), why does it hurt?" He asked. "I dunno... I saw you talking with that girl, and holding hands... I didn't know you had a girlfriend Suguru," you whispered. "I... I was going to tell you, but I just haven't had the time, I'm so sorry," he rambled, reaching a hand out to you. You softly pushed it back. "I don't think she'd appreciate you touching me," you whispered. It hurt. You didn't know why it hurt. You liked Niragi as a friend, didn't you? That was it. You were just upset he didn't tell you about the girl. He hadn't even told you about his feelings for her. That was why you were upset.
______
You sat besides him, the hotel room walls seeming like home at this point. It had been after a game, and even though neither of you had been in any near death experience tonight, it felt as if you had. It was a sad feeling. You felt as if it was your fault. Niragi had been feeling down recently, and of course you blamed yourself. You didn't know how to regulate your kindness and how much was too much. You didn't want to lead anyone on. You felt like that's what you'd done to him.  "Suguru... I'm sorry I can't understand feelings correctly," you whispered.
Of course you were aware of the problem now. It had quickly become your biggest insecurity. Your biggest problem. And since you were hyper aware of it, it made you second guess every action people had towards you. You also seemed like a rude person, but it was only because you didn't want to accidentally lead someone on.
"It's alright. It's not your fault," he said back. Your hand inched towards his, enveloping it tightly. "It's not... I know I like you. I know it. But do I like you in the way friends do, or do I want more? It's frustrating for me to not know what I'm feeling Suguru," you whimpered. "Well... I've always been here. I've always tried to understand for you, and help you. But... how can I help you if you don't even know what you feel for me? I know what I feel for you, but I damn it  (Y/N) I'm not getting hurt because you don't know," he stated. "It wouldn't be fucking fair to you. And I know that. I don't want you to be my fucking experiment. I- i.... I love you too much for that," you whispered. "Don't say words you don't know if you mean," he repremanded.
"But I do-"
"Fuck... fuck! No you don't! That's the problem! I've loved you for years! And I know I have! But you don't know what the word means damn it! Don't say things you don't fucking mean!" He shouted, screwing his eyes shut. His grip on your hand tightened. Tears filled your eyes. "B-but I think I do! Please... please help me... Suguru. It hurts not knowing. Can I explain what I feel? And you help me, please I just want to know," you whimpered as tears fell down your face. A nod was all you got from him.
"There's butterflies in my stomach whenever you touch me. Or talk to me. I always want to be around you. My body feels hot whenever you're around me and touching me. My brain feels foggy when you smile. My face feels hot when you compliment me. I find you attractive, and find myself nitpicking myself because the girls you look at look nothing like me," you explained. "Is... is that how you feel around me?" You asked.
You didn't get a response and looked over.
"That's... that's love. That's what it feels like," he whispered, a small smile building. A smile stretched across your face, before tackling him into the bed. "I can say it then?" You asked, looking into his dark eyes. "... Yeah. You can," he said.
"I... I love you Suguru!"
"I've been wanting to hear that... since we were kids, (Y/N)... Thank you... I love you too. So much."
It's big sad hours. Anyways, I'm still working on a few requests, and a new chapter for '100 Promises'. Your love and support since I've started these books/stories has been... so amazing. I want to thank you all for every like, vote, comment, and follow. Thank you♡

Who is Batdad closest to outside Wayne manor? Does he have much of a life outside of the Wayne's? Who would Batdad consider his closest friends besides his family?
Honestly, Batdad doesn’t have much of a life outside of the Waynes. He doesn’t really have anyone other than the League to talk to. Clark would probably be his closest friend outside of his family because in a lot of ways they are similar.
Okay, let me talk about this. ( I came back up and decided to answer more concisely above and put this under a read more because it’s very, very long, and I cried three times while writing it and I have never had any visceral reaction to what I write ever before... oof. Just be warned if you ever feel anxiety or pressure that basically, that’s what follows)
Batdad basically denies his own wants and dreams because he wants to help Bruce. What this means is that no matter what Batdad wanted to be before (maybe he and Bruce were dating and he confessed his desire to be a writer and Bruce allowed himself the fantasy and said they’d buy an island somewhere, and Bruce would lounge on the beach and supply Batdad in kisses while he writes the best book ever), by the time Bruce gets back to Gotham from his training, Batdad has had to become what Bruce would have been if Thomas and Martha were there. 
He’s a public figure and philanthropist, carrying the legacies of Martha and Thomas on his shoulders. He has to keep Martha’s business running - no, not just running, thriving - and deal with corrupt officials, corporate espionage, and greedy businesspeople all but threatening him to take Wayne Enterprises public so they can trade stock, all while making sure Thomas’ charities are well-funded and the money is actually going where it should (see earlier greed, corporate and personal). This is all while having to attend galas and functions and fundraisers and events or risk pissing off any one of these people who can turn his life into hell - missing one event can lead to being blacklisted and then that means nobody goes to a charity gala, which means that there’s no hospital built for those in the Narrows.
All this and also consider that everybody in high society sneers at you because the only reason you’re there is because you’re engaged to Bruce and you lived with him ever since Martha and Thomas died. You’re besieged on all sides, because the snobs hate you, the press wonders if you’re even qualified to run a business, and there’s always envy and hatred from below because why aren’t you doing MORE to help them? You haven’t been trained in this - your parents were upper-middle-class at best; you met Bruce by chance, so it’s just you and Alfred and this crushing, all-consuming PRESSURE and the fact that none of it is enough, you aren’t doing enough, it’ll never be enough.
Oh, and at this point, you’re probably only in your mid-twenties at the latest. And it only gets harder because Bruce is back and crime fighting and now you have to worry about him dying on patrol, so every night you’re there to assist him (sleep? don’t know her) and patch him up and support him every day even though he pretends a little too well to be a drunken boor and a cheating asshole (sometimes he isn’t even pretending) and help him when he gets frustrated and then you adopt a kid after your first day off in years (day off, what’s a day off, you haven’t slept enough since you were eighteen and Bruce left you and Batman came back but you haven’t said a word about it) and now there’s school and making sure Dick eats enough and is happy and doing good and doesn’t get overworked on patrol and stressing on whether or not Dick is okay whenever he leaves the Manor and again, none of it is ever enough.
You feel like you’re in your fifties by the time you hit thirty and the Justice League forms and that means SO much more work not just physically but emotionally because Bruce can’t meet anyone new without determining a thousand different ways to kill them if necessary (except for Talia, apparently. And Selina. And Silver Freaking St. Cloud. And Julie Morrison. And any number of dalliances Bruce has had because somehow they’re all smarter. or stronger, or maybe he just has a weakness for tall women who don’t take his crap. Is that what you do? Is your loyalty and consistency and unconditional love actually what lets Bruce walk away so often to a woman’s bed? Is it because he knows you will still be there? Is it because you have put so much of yourself into this life, into your children, into the Wayne Legacy of Perfection and Excellence that it would kill you to leave? Is it because you’re just another tool to him, one that will be quickly replaced when you succumb to sleep-deprivation, or that thing you’ve heard about in the news where people are dying from overwork so often the Japanese have a name for it, or the fact that you’re doing the work of ten, no, twenty people and not once have you ever complained to Bruce or begged him like any reasonable person would to stop this vigilante nonsense and actually LIVE), but now you have to coordinate meetings and a thousand different secret identities and make sure everything’s kosher and nobody’s fighting and of course Bruce has a beef with the nicest freaking guy in the League and Clark keeps coming to you to see if you can help them work it out.
Oh, and then there’s Talia, aka the thorn in your existence and her child who literally has tried to murder you for the crime of being married to Bruce years before he had even heard of Talia, and now on top of all the above, you have to balance getting to know the kid and be reminded day in and day out by him that you aren’t enough, that Talia has such a deeper connection to Bruce, that you are an obstacle to his happiness, that she’s so much smarter and stronger than you, that you are weak and everything you touch becomes weak and tainted by you. And not to mention that you still aren’t doing enough because Gotham’s underprivileged are screaming in pain from everything they deal with and at least you are fed and clothed and you have a family you can support and you are rich and you need to be doing MORE. 
And nobody else in the League can even come close to understanding you because wow, you do so much, do you ever take a break? You come this close to crying when Oliver remarks that if he had to do that much work, he’d go back to the island he was stranded on for five years because he’s joking. For anyone else your life would be a living hell and he’s joking. How do you do so much; do you ever sleep; hah, Bruce, your husband is showing you up! And this is when they even acknowledge you, and you feel like a major-league prick for even thinking these thoughts because Bruce and the League put their lives on the line every day (oh god they’re always in danger and the stress of losing your boys - which has happened to you already - and Bruce and your friends who are the only ones you can ever actually talk to without worrying that you’ll give away someone’s identity) and you’re complaining about a little bit of paperwork? You get to go to parties and meetings while your husband fights to save lives and you’re complaining? How selfish are you? All you do, everything you do, it isn’t enough, it’s never enough, there’s always MORE MORE MORE and it never ever stops.
Jason is dead, Jason comes back, Dick is beaten within an inch of his life, the Joker kidnaps Tim and you are hanging by a thread because the last time the Joker took one of your kids and you couldn’t find them meant that there was an empty bed and too many memories but no time to grieve because Bruce threw himself into work without a care and you needed to do even MORE because you can’t lose him too. And even the League was supposed to help with this but it doesn’t because you can’t bear to lose anyone, because they’re family and not only that, the world has gotten careless because the supers will save them and crime is actually going UP somehow and if even one of the League dies, a city could be overrun by now because the police and government are all but useless and the skies are filled with supervillains and the only thing stopping the world from falling into utter disrepair is the League, and thus you. And through all of this you have to be doing better, have to be doing MORE because every new thing means all the rest of your work becomes that much harder and you haven’t slept properly in a decade now and you feel ancient but still, you can’t complain, you haven’t earned the right to complain because you are never hungry and you never go without and there are so many people who need your help and charities that depend on you to function and kids that need fatherly advice and affection and a League that needs managing and you don’t have time for a breakdown because if you’re gone for too long everything collapses and everyone you love suffers and forget about therapy because who the FUCK could you ever talk to about any of this without either revealing a hundred secret identities and putting everything at risk or sound like a whiny crybaby?
Selina and Talia are back and hovering around your husband again and they flirt with him like you don’t exist and it’s not his fault and you love him but you see Talia every day in Damian’s voice and manner and don’t even think about talking to Bruce about his infidelity because he has so many more important things to worry about and he’s already apologized profusely and anything else makes you feel selfish and you HAVEN’T SLEPT in what feels like all your life and every moment not filled with work is filled with stress about work and worry because every time you don’t see your boys is a moment they can be dead and you don’t know it and every moment Bruce isn’t at the Watchtower is another moment Lex Luthor has to enact some horrifiying plan or the Joker gets ahold of a nuclear weapon or something else unforseeably terrible happens and it is TOO MUCH but you still need to be doing MORE because it isn’t enough and you aren’t enough and nothing is ever enough.
Is there even a you anymore? There used to be a kid there who just wanted to help his friend when he lost his parents. A kid who got left behind to stay with that friend. A teenager with dreams and hopes and wishes and a sweet boyfriend who could maybe get past his grief and lead a good life with you. A young man with the chance to stop his lover from leaving, to stay with him and not give in. Where did he go? Is he still there, underneath the years? Or is he gone, and this being made of stress and fear and feelings of inadequacy and stifled complaints and sadness gone unsaid and trauma left to fester all that you are? That kid you once were gets further and further away with everything you do to help, every time you keep silent  because what good would it do to scream the way you want to, the way you’ve needed to for so many years but never let yourself?
And yes, your boys and your husband make it better, make it worthwhile, but it remains that you feel old, you’ve been tired since you were still 19. Your days are consumed with stress and your nights are filled with fear. And you can never say this now because it has been years, and you’ve lost that chance. The guilt would throw Bruce off his game and if he’s off his game, he could die and all of this would be for nothing. Quite against your will, you’ve been trapped in a no-win situation, and even death is no escape because you know that without you, it all comes crashing down and game over. You are Atlas, holding up the world and knowing that you have just enough strength to hold it up for eternity. And no one will release you from your prison.
But you have to endure it, and smile while you do so because if Bruce ever knew (or if he even cared to look), it’d all go falling down. You are the support, and the support’s support, but no one ever thinks that you might need assistance. What do you have going on? Being a dad? Working? Attending parties? It isn’t enough and you know it isn’t enough and everybody knows that it isn’t enough and they always, always need MORE.
I wonder now how Batdad does it. How he doesn’t break down crying. And part of that is because he is fictional, and I never thought about what it would be like to go through that level of pressure every day of your life. I hope someday Bruce comes to his senses. That even if he doesn’t let go of his grief, maybe he stops being Batman. And stops training Robins. Because yes, he gave them a home, but he manipulated them into being what he is. Who knows what good Dick could have done if he had just been Bruce’s adopted son. Maybe a philanthropist. Maybe he just would’ve had a happy life instead of one where he could die every day. Where he constantly has to reopen the wound of his parents’ deaths to convince him to keep at it. I want them to realize that they don’t have to, anymore.
But they won’t. Because they aren’t real. And they exist for our entertainment. And because we’ll keep reading the comics and watching the movies and playing the games, Bruce will always be Batman and never come to terms with his parents’ deaths in a healthy way and there will always be more threats to existence and even just to him personally.
And Batdad too, is trapped.

Bottled feelings
Pairing: Lily Evans x Roomate!Reader Summary: After your breakup, Lily comforts you and it leads to the two of you confessing some bottled feelings Warnings: swearing, drinking, brief mentions of making out Word Count: 1,872
Tumblr media
What is love? A feeling, a sensation, something so powerful it can make you do crazy things. Muggles called it a chemical; a chemical that induced euphoria. You wondered whether there was even such a thing as the state of complete and utter bliss. So you craved to feel it,to drown in it and to live it even for only a moment. A moment, the feeling of the so called love making you work till the world' end just to see the special someone smile.
You sighed, remembering what happened moments ago, your legs feeling weak beneath you.
Tears prickled your eyes as you tried your best to not let them fall. You blinked furiously, pressing your nails hard against your palm until it hurt. David had been a great boyfriend, but there was something, something always missing. You quite well knew what it was just that you refused to acknowledge it. You thought this would be easy, you really did but it wasn’t. Not one bit. David had fitted into your life seamlessly. He was a great friend and supported you know matter what. You really didn't think you would lose him completely after the break up.
You didn’t know David would start blaming it on himself.
“David, it’s not your fault. I’m sorry, so, so sorry. I just-“ you took in a shaky breath.
“Why?” he croaked, his neutral expression quickly melting away.
“I-“
“You’re in love with someone else, aren’t you?” he said as you felt the air squeeze out of your lungs. You looked down.
“Get out,” he whispered as you looked at him. “I SAID GET OUT.”
You finally let the tears fall, moving out of his house. Wiping your tears furiously, you walked towards the nearest place to apparate.
Your head whirled before you finally saw a familiar door appear. You sighed, entering quietly. Placing your heels on the shoe cabinet, you smiled a little as Edward (your owl) flew and seated himself on your head. You offered him your hand as he perched himself on your wrist. You moved your fingers through his head, scratching it as he appreciated your ministrations by purring a little and letting his eyes droop.
“You’re here!” a voice came as you looked up to see Lily in her pyjamas smiling at you. Your lips turned upwards involuntarily.
“I am.”
“Are you alright?” Lily asked furrowing her brows, “You look sad.”
“I broke up with David,” You said in a small voice, making her eyes widen.
“Honey, I’m so sorry,” Lily said coming towards you as you took a deep breath.
“You did nothing wrong,” You murmured as she shooed Edward away, forcing you to look at her.
“Movie? We can have pizza, and then hot cocoa with marshmallows?”
You gave her a warm smile.
“I’d like that.”
***
You calmed down after a long shower. Or at least the best you could. You got the comforting scent of pizza, wafting throughout the living room and you stomach grumbled a little as you imagined eating a huge slice. 
Lily and you had decorated it together when you first moved in. She loved comfort while you were always into geometrical designs. The room was the perfect blend of the two. A large red linen sofa complete loads of catchy pillows the two of you collected over the years, a wheat coloured edgy table, and a TV right in front. Lily decorated the space with small olive green plants around.
You saw Lily bent over the table placing pizza and butterbeers, you were sure she had spiked with some whiskey. You smiled. She always knew just what you needed. Lily looked over at you grinning. It was going to be a long night.
And it was. Lily held you as you cried. Laughed along with you, watching Mr Bean’s antics. You loved her, always had, perhaps not in a way she believed you to. When? How? You didn’t know. It crept up on you so slowly, you didn’t even realize it until you were drowning. Lily and you were close too- so close that people assumed you were dating. She’ll hold your hand through the crowds, kiss you on the cheek, cuddle with you whenever you’d watch a movie together. Sometimes you almost believed she liked you too. Almost.
“Lily, no!” you tried to say as she continued to tickle you.
“I’m not stopping, Y/n. Not until you agree I’m better at duelling!” she huffed through her giggles, her face as red as her hair.
“Not. Fair. Stop! You’re killing me!!” you said laughing as she continued her torture.
You picked up the pillow, throwing it at her. She moved away laughing as you took a big cushion in your hand, running towards her. She slipped on and fell on the sofa haphazardly, and pulled you down with her. Your breath hitched as she laughed widely, making her eyes crinkle. She stopped, noticing the position the two of you were in, getting away awkwardly.
You tried to get over her, you really did. You dated other people, concentrated only on your work, but nothing, nothing could change the way you felt about her. You ended up comparing everyone with her. She had spoiled you for anyone. You had broken up with David for the same reason too. You couldn’t date him when your heart beat for someone else. It was fair for no-one.

You lay your head over Lily’s shoulder, feeling calm at last. You were still a little giddy from the rum hot-chocolate. She was going on about, this movie she just saw, gesturing wildly about the characters, but you couldn’t concentrate on that. Not when her voice was something you could listen to all day long.
“Y/n! Are you even listening to me?” Lily asked, giggling.
“Yes?”
Lily rolled her eyes, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you closer. Your heart skipped a beat.
“How are you feeling now?” she asked as you sighed. It had been a long day.
“Better. Roy had been a great friend, Lils. I’ve lost so much by losing him.” Lily hummed. The two of you fell silent as Lily continued to caress your arm softly.
“I never quite liked him though-” She said after a while. 
You let out a laugh.
“You never like anyone I date!”
“So not true,” Lily scoffed.
“Okay, name one person,” You challenged. Lily removed her arm and sat up straighter. You almost whined at the loss of contact.
“I did like Shane…” Lily prompted as you rolled your eyes.
“You literally never came out of your room whenever he was around.”
The more time she took, the wider you smiled. Lily glared at your smirk playfully. She really did look cute like that.
“I can’t hate everyone,” she said as you let out a laugh, moving a bit to face her.
“But you do,” You said gently interlinking your fingers with hers. You looked at her as she smiled tenderly at you.
“Well, you’re sweet, and I can’t have you be with someone who doesn’t deserve you,” She said placing a strand of your hair behind your ear. Your heart thumped.
“Who is then?” you whispered, not sure where this was going. 
Lily leaned a bit as your eyes flicked to her lips. You saw her doing the same. Your breath hitched as she pressed her lips against yours, cupping your cheeks. She moved them slowly against yours and you felt like you were high. You sighed as she pulled you closer, further deepening the kiss. She pulled back abruptly as you took in deep breaths, refusing to open your eyes.
“I’m- I’m so sorry.” You heard her whisper, feeling her get up. Your heart fell as you looked at her. Why did she always do this?
“I’ve had too much to drink and I-“
“Lily…”
“I didn’t know what I was doing, and it just... happened. I-“
“LILY!” you shouted as she finally met your eyes.
“It was my fault too. I don’t know why I always hope we ever have a chance. We don’t,” you said, taking in a shaky breath and moving towards your room. Lily followed.
“What’s that supposed to mean?“
“IT MEANS THAT I AM IN BLOODY LOVE WITH YOU!” You shouted, moving into your room and slamming the door behind you. You dropped on the bed squeezing your pillow as tears finally fell down. Why were you in love with the one person you couldn’t have? You looked at the ceiling as your brain forced you to remember every painful moment you spent with her.
Lily’s mouth was hot on your neck as her hands moved all over you. Your head still banged with the amount of firewhiskey the two of you had.
“Lily, what is this?” you whispered as fingers played with the hem of your top. She kissed you again.
“One-time thing,” she murmured as you repeated the words over and over in your brain. Something between the alcohol-induced state of your brain and the on-going tension between the two of you made you agree.
There was a knock at the door which shook you out of your reverie. You gulped, waiting.
“Why didn’t you say anything, Y/n? I always thought that you didn’t feel the same way. As much as I want to, I don’t regret kissing you. Not at all.” You heard her take a shaky breath as your head thumped.
“Yeah, I don’t like you dating anyone else. I hated seeing you with anyone else. What was I supposed to do?”
“Tell me! You could have said something.”
“I could have said the same for you,” She said as you both fell silent.
“We’re idiots, aren’t we?” she joked after a while.
“Date me, Lily.”
“What if it doesn’t end well, Y/n? I don’t want to lose you. I can’t lose you”
“You’ll lose me more if you don’t. I love you, Lily. I want to date you, to hold your hand. Fuck- I want to cuddle with you without any restrictions, I want to hold you close, and I want a goddamn answer. I want a goddamn answer, Lily.”
There was a beat of silence. You felt like your heart would burst, thumping so loudly as it was right now.
“Would we still simp over hot guys together?”
“Yes,.” You croaked.
“Would I still get to tease you when you do dumb things?” she said as you sniffed, smiling to yourself.
“As long as I get to tell you that you look like a cute little chipmunk when you get angry.”
“Would I get to kiss you whenever I want?” she whispered as you tried to breathe.
“As whenever and much as you want.”
“Would you let me come in and hold you, if I say yes?”
“I would,” You said, sitting up as she slowly opened the door and came in. Her eyes were red and her nose was tinted pink. She engulfed you in a bone-crushing hug which seems to convey everything she wanted to say.
“Promise me, that you’ll always say what you feel now,” you said, softly, as Lily kissed your forehead.
“As long as you do too,” She promised.
