The fact that my PS4 isn’t currently downloading Horizon Burning Shores because it’s only released on the 5, even though Forbidden West was released on the 4 AND 5, is criminal….and while I somewhat understand why it’s on the 5 after watching the trailer, I’m peeved that a small DLC is so exclusive when the (massive) main game wasn’t. I mean, I’m so glad I got to play Forbidden West, but still…and don’t even get me started on the increased price for new the Zelda game dropping next month.

We’ve had it good for too long… it’s time for some angst >:)
Can I req the first years with a reader who was severely injured trying to protect them? Like from an overblot or something. If you’re uncomfortable with this then feel free to decline ^_^
Tumblr media

author’s note : you’re right, anon— it’s been over a month now since my last angst work! it’s about time it made a comeback, hm?
hope you enjoy~ ♡ (˃̵ᴗ˂̵ )
🔺chapter 1 overblot spoilers in ace and deuce’s parts and chapter 5 overblot spoilers in epel’s!
Tumblr media
ace trappola
ace stumbled back after taking a hard hit from riddle, who had overblotted.
“hey buddy, ever heard of dodging?” you joked as you pulled him back up to his feet. he scoffed, softly pushing you away. “quiet, you! bet you couldn’t have dodged that either!” “pshh, i totally could have, no sweat—!”
“both of you! take this a little more seriou— LOOK OUT!” trey shouted. you both looked up and saw the terrifying sight of riddle approaching. about to strike.
out of instinct, you threw ace behind you and took the blow— the last thing you heard before blacking was ace shrieking your name.
he completely abandoned the fight, leaving deuce, cater, and trey to deal with the overblot. instead he just sat off to the side with you in his lap. he was shaking you, crying, begging you to just wake up already— his frustration and anxiety growing with each second you were still unresponsive.
your heartbeat was the only thing letting him know you were still alive, but even it seemed to be slowing down. he prayed and prayed that it was just his mind playing tricks on him, continuing attempting to wake you up.
ace let out a sigh of relief as you opened your eyes. “t-there! hah! i knew you were fine!” he laughed, hugging you.
“ace..?” he pulled away to look at you. “i’m gonna be real with you. i… don’t think i’m fine. in fact, i’m pretty sure this is it for me.” you weakly chuckle. but ace didn’t find this the least bit funny.
“stop— stop! you’re scaring me! you are going to make it!” ace let out a jagged, panicked breath as you closed your eyes once again. “you are!” he hissed. “you are, you areyouareyouare! if you don’t.. i-i’ll…”
he doesn’t know what he’ll do. does he even know what he’s doing now?
deuce spade
he was determined to be the one to help you. in his mind, it was only fair since you’ve done so much for him. from the more insignificant of things like letting him copy off your answers on homework he forgot to do— all the way to helping him change as a person and giving him emotional support.
he wanted to be able to do something for you even just once. and he swore that ‘something’ would be protecting you from riddle’s overblot— even though deuce was already quite tired and beaten up himself.
“deuce, i really appreciate what you’re trying to do, but just take it easy! you’re hurt enough as is!” you gently shook him by the shoulders and he looked down at his feet.
“but…” “— i know. you wanna make yourself useful to me in some way. but you don’t have to.” you gave him a smile.
riddle scoffed, “letting your guards down during a fight, are you?” a shiver ran down your spine as you hugged deuce, shielding him from riddle’s rose-bush attack.
freaks. out. you were hit so hard you were seeing stars and could hardly stand up— he’s got no idea what to do until ace just yells for him to get you in one of the spare rooms of heartslabyul until the fight is over. he’s scared and shaking, but he toughens up and hightails it out of there, whispering apologies over and over again under his breath.
deuce let out a shaky sigh as he pulled a comforter over you. “i’m sorry, y/n, i’m so sorry this happened— do you need water? bandages? h-how— where, ah— what can i do..?” he sniffled, burying his face in his hands.
“i can’t do anything, can i?”
jack howl
a while back, jack made a promise to himself. and that promise was that no matter how dangerous the situation was, he’d protect you.
today, he’s broken that promise.
here he was, carrying you to the infirmary as fast as he could go because you were injured. protecting him. protecting him from a monster so strong and so violent, you knew you couldn’t take any of it’s attacks on. but you did anyways to save him from the pain.
it touched him to his core, but also hurt him just as much.
the trip to the infirmary was nearly too much to take for him. the way your breaths were all rough and uneven, your pained cries, the scent of your blood— jack hates seeing even a scratch on you. he’d take your place in a heartbeat if it meant seeing you unharmed. but he won’t dwell on it for now, his sole focus is on getting you help.
jack sat beside your bed in total silence. and he was going to stay until you woke up and he could talk with you.
he looked at one of your arms, which the nurse had just finished bandaging. then at the other, which was going to be bandaged soon as well. it was covered in bruises that were most likely going to scar.
jack let out a heavy sigh and grabbed your hand gently, nuzzling his nose against it. “i’m sorry i failed you back there.” he whispered to you.
epel felmier
vil was running epel ragged.
you, being magicless, were only allowed watch from the sidelines since the others weren’t allowing you to partake in the fight. but seeing your boyfriend getting tired, becoming more and more susceptible to being heavily injured, you were itching to get in there.
“c’mon, epel, hold out for just a little longer..” you whispered to yourself. your breath hitched when you saw him trip and not get up— and vil only seconds away from obliterating him with a spell.
you sprinted to action, ignoring the protesting shouts of your friends and hurling yourself in front of epel. everyone else be damned, you were going to keep him safe.
he’s so frustrated. not just at you for being so.. selfless, but at himself too because he didn’t have the strength to keep dodging and keep casting out magic. that frustration is gonna eat at the poor boy for a while.
you better believe he’s gonna scold you for your recklessness when you’re all fixed up. he’s already got a whole script set up in his head, and you’re gonna get to hear all of it when you’re better— or.. if you get better? god, he’s frustrated at himself for even thinking of the possibility.
.. but he knows that things could turn out that way. the uncertainty is killing him— but there’s only one thing he knows for sure. he’s gonna take vil down, even if it’s the last thing he does.
epel pat your back with what little energy he had left, trying to help you get out all your coughs. he panicked upon seeing your body go limp, immediately sitting you up against a column.
“’ya really don’t look so good— you’ve gone pale. and your heartbeat…?” he placed two fingers on your wrist and was shaken to feel that it was extremely slow. “are- y-you sure you’re alright? —who am i kidding, of course you are! i don’t need to treat ‘ya like you’re dying…” his smile faltered. “you aren’t, are you?”
you didn’t move or speak. just stared right back him. but it spoke volumes. epel’s eyes widened as he grabbed you by the shoulders.
“you’re kidding, right? right?? you can’t go yet!” he panicked, looking you in the eyes— searching for any confirmation you were okay. that you weren’t going to die. but still, nothing. just more empty staring.
finally, epel broke. unable to bear the guilt and anxiety, all his tears came out uncontrollably.
“you can’t die yet— i need you by my side!” he hiccuped, tugging onto the sleeves of your shirt. he felt hopeless. and utterly pathetic. “i at least wanted to bring you back to my home village.. even planned to live together later down the road, after our graduation. and maybe, even…”
sebek zigvolt
humans and the way they are will always be a mystery to him.
“i’m only gonna ask one last time, human!” sebek narrowed his eyes at you. yet he didn’t look mad. or even annoyed. just genuinely confused. “why? why did you protect me from that beast?”
you were absolutely exhausted from the incident, and he was not helping.
“i don’t see why you can’t tell me.” he huffed. you buried your face in the soft mountain of pillows that he had set up for you. “isn’t it obvious? because i love and care about you.” you whispered before passing out.
sebek just stared for a moment. “oh...” he blinked, and his vision was blurred with tears.
he would never admit how he had cried that day. and he would never admit how he stayed around much longer than he had planned on, guarding you while you slept and sort of just basking in your presence. he was relaxed sitting next to you.
— “what do you mean their condition has gotten worse?!”
the nurse sighed, setting down his clipboard. “it’s exactly what it sounds like. to make it a long story short, whatever beast attacked them casted a spell on them as well.” sebek paled, glancing over at you.
“making a rough estimate, it’ll probably take them 3 weeks to be back in full health, if not a whole month. that is, assuming they’ll recover. they.. seem to be getting worse, unfortunately.” the nurse coughed.
“now, it’s quite late already, why don’t you run back to your dorm?” sebek nodded and turned around to leave, but stopped.
it’s true, he should be tending to chores, training, and watching over the young lord, but he couldn’t bring himself to leave the room.

Hello, may I request Barok with s/o after he's had them kidnapped?
You didn’t specify a scenario or headcanons so I’m just going to go with headcanons!
I’m answering these out of order but I just wanna dip my toes in the water first but I’ll try and get back into chronological order based on when the request was made ASAP.
Spoilers: Dai Gyakuten Saiban (The Great Ace Attorney)
TW: Kidnapping, Obsession, Possessive Behaviours, Outdated Attitudes
🍷Kidnapping Headcanons: Barok van Zieks🍷
🍷I’ve mentioned this in my original yandere headcanons, but Barok wouldn’t kidnap S/O himself. He would use some shadier contacts and hire two thugs to break into their home and kidnap them. 
🍷He would emphasise that no harm was to come to S/O, in fact he would far prefer for S/O to be taken without a fight. He places a lot of trust in the people he hires to do this job, but if S/O was delivered to him with a single hair out of place then he would make sure that they didn’t escape without consequence.
🍷Barok would stay in the room that he places S/O into until they wake up. He’d keep a solemn watch over them while they slept, he would have already ordered his staff to keep away from the room.
🍷Only he gets to indulge in this moment, after all.
🍷When S/O wakes up, he takes a patient and logical approach to his explanation for the circumstances that they are in. It would be more than obvious to S/O that Barok had been behind the countless letters that they had been receiving.
🍷Naturally, S/O would find themselves in a blind panic, especially once they realise that they have been tied to the bed they’re in with some rather sturdy leather belts. While Barok promised that they would be free to roam around the room once they calmed down, it would not ease S/O’s furious response to his actions.
🍷While he would most certainly be frustrated by S/O’s initial panic once they realised that they weren’t able to leave, he wouldn’t be surprised. As much as he despises the fact that S/O isn’t grateful for the fact that he saved them from the immorality and cruelty of society, he knows that they must be in shock from it all.
🍷Obviously, this all depends on how you imagine S/O, but there would definitely be a big communication issue right from the start. S/O wouldn’t want anything to do with Barok, while Barok would want to spend all the free time he has away from his work with S/O.
🍷Barok wouldn’t really try to fully understand or empathise with S/O’s feelings, he sees them as immature and hysterical. Instead, he would stick his heels in and persist with his own fantasy as S/O’s provider.
🍷It would take a long time of persistent pushing on S/O’s part for Barok to externalise his frustrations, as a member of the nobility he knows how to save face and keep his true feelings pushed deep down, but if S/O struck him where it hurts then he would really lose his temper and S/O could expect to find themself having to dodge a bottle of wine that he’d throw towards the wall behind them.

At long last, Book 6 has arrived in the ENG server! Which means I can finally talk about how it would go with my Yuu. I intend to make two separate posts for Book 6 since it’s so long, and I figured it’d make things easier if I made a post for Part 1 and Part 2 of Book 6 rather than put it all together in one long post, especially since I wanna write out Part 1′s events while they’re fresh on my mind.
Book 6 spoilers underneath the cut!
First thing I wanna cover is a change I made in Book 5 that affects Book 6, which I went back and mentioned in my Book 5 post when I recently edited it.
Apparently, Book 5′s ending happened the night following Vil’s OB, ergo before the second day of the fair.
I’ve decided to slightly change that since that night Yuu & Grim were in the infirmary due to the state she was in following Vil’s OB battle, and her friends left plenty of snacks for her there, so if Grim woke up hungry, he would’ve just eaten those and chose to remain beside Yuu since someone’s gotta look after his henchmen.
As a result, the end of Book 5 doesn’t happen the first night of the cultural fair. It happens on the following night, meaning the fair is done and over by this point.
It’s not really a serious change since it won’t have any effect on my version of Book 6 events, but I wanted to properly explain this to avoid any confusion.
Since I ended my Book 5 post with Yuu noticing that Grim’s missing, I’ll pick up from there.
Because she has a bad feeling, Yuu hurries outside and begins looking all over for Grim. Eventually, her feet bring her to the coliseum where Vil Overblotted.
Upon seeing Grim, Yuu’s apprehension skyrockets because he’s not acting like himself, and he has this aura about him that for some reason is making her flashback to all the OBs she has witnessed.
Just like in the game, Grim tries to attack her, and Yuu is barely able to dodge his claws due to her shock and fear. 
Yuu tries to convince herself that Grim isn’t someone to be feared. He’s her partner. He’s not someone dangerous.
However, she can’t ignore the fact that her instincts are screaming for her to get as far away from him as possible. They’re telling her that he’s an opponent she shouldn’t trifle with.
Similar to how she felt whenever she fought the OB boys.
At that thought, Yuu’s fear intensifies since she’s now worried that Grim has Overblotted or is on the verge of Overblotting, even though she has no proof to support that terrifying possibility. 
In the end, Yuu chooses to ignore her instincts, because she knows she can’t afford to run away. Grim is her responsibility, so she has to do whatever she can to get a handle of this situation before things get even worse.
Plus, he’s her friend and partner. She can’t abandon him when there’s clearly something wrong with him, especially if he really has Overblotted since that could lead to him possibly dying if he doesn’t get any help.
That’s why Yuu does whatever she can to talk to/reason with Grim as she dodges his attacks, hoping that her voice will somehow get through to him.
More than anything, Yuu would like to call for backup, but she can’t afford to do that when she has to devote all her attention to Grim in order to prevent him from landing a hit on her since he’s so fast. 
Because he’s so fast, Yuu also can’t land any counterattacks on him, although it doesn’t help that she’s incredibly reluctant to actually hurt him. While she was able to do so with the OB guys, it’s way more difficult for her to do something like that to her partner who’s been by her side all this time. 
However, that said, Yuu can’t completely suppress her survival instincts/unconscious body movements in response to danger. That’s why, when Grim gets dangerously close to her at one point, she, without thinking, lashes out at him with a kick that sends him flying.
Horrified, Yuu immediately runs over to him, apologizing and asking if he’s alright despite him not being in his right mind at this point. Yuu’s just so upset with herself that she’s not thinking clearly. 
Unfortunately, this leaves her wide open to a counterattack from Grim who doesn’t hesitate to use his claws on her outstretched hands as soon as she’s within reach. 
Immediately, Yuu backs off to prepare for more attacks from Grim. That’s why she’s surprised when, after finally landing a hit, Grim just freezes and stares at his bloodied claws.
For a moment, Yuu begins to hope that Grim’s finally coming around - that the sight of her blood is making him regain his senses.
Regrettably, her hopes were in vain since Grim promptly runs off without showing any signs of change in his overall behavior.
Yuu doesn’t hesitate to run after him, but she quickly loses sight of him due to his superior speed.
Knowing she can’t handle this on her own, Yuu contacts Ace and Deuce and pleads for their help. Normally, she’s the type to do things on her own, but she realizes she can’t this time.
Most importantly, Yuu knows she can’t afford to take any chances here since Grim is a serious threat to the people around him and possibly even himself. She needs to do everything in her power to get him under control before it’s too late.
Naturally, Ace and Deuce are quick to agree, so Yuu asks them to help her go all around campus looking for Grim. So while she continues her search, they go to places on campus she hasn’t checked yet. 
Unfortunately, despite all their best efforts, the trio is unable to find Grim, and they eventually meet up in front of Ramshackle to discuss their next plan of action.
Upon seeing Yuu’s injuries, which she has still yet to treat due to being more focused on Grim, Ace and Deuce insist on taking her inside to treat her wounds despite her being far more worried about Grim than herself.
In the end, the guys’ stubbornness wins out, so they’re able to force Yuu to go inside so they can use her dorm’s first aid kit to treat her hands. 
Thankfully, Yuu happens to have some magical healing cream in the first aid kit, so these wounds will be fully healed come morning time.
As she’s being treated, Deuce suggests contacting Crowley about what’s going on, but Yuu is against the idea since she’s worried about will happen to Grim if the Headmage finds out what Grim has been doing. 
What if he kicks Grim out of NRC because he’s considered to be too dangerous?
Because she makes a good point, now Ace and Deuce are reluctant to go to Crowley, especially since they know that kicking Grim out means also kicking Yuu out since they’re a package deal, and she won’t have anywhere else to go since she’s from another world. 
However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they want to keep all of this under wraps. Yuu just wants to be the first person to find Grim and get him to calm down before any adults get involved.
(Even though she has come to trust some of the adults at NRC at this point, Yuu still doesn’t trust them to the point that she thinks she can completely rely on them, especially not in a situation like this when her and Grim’s fate is on the line.)
Once Yuu’s hands have been treated, the trio take a moment to try to figure out what they should do about Grim. What other methods could they try to find him since simply running around isn’t enough?
Ace brings up the school’s security cameras, but he’s not sure how they could gain access to them in order to get a full view of NRC’s campus.
Thankfully, Yuu does. She immediately calls Idia, whom she knows would still be awake at this late hour since that’s often the case with him.
Knowing how much Idia likes Grim, Yuu tells Idia that Grim is in trouble and needs his help before explaining how she needs his help accessing the security cameras to find Grim.
Naturally, Idia is quick to agree to help because he can’t bear the thought of NRC losing Grim as a student. He also sends Ortho out to find Grim like what happens in the game. Ortho, of course, is all too happy to help since Yuu and Grim are their friends.
Since Ortho has everything covered, Idia tells Yuu to just remain at her dorm since Ortho will bring Grim over once he’s been safely apprehended.
From there, things proceed like in canon with Ortho finding Grim without much issue and knocking him out to prevent him from struggling further.
As that’s happening, Idia is questioning Yuu about what happened to Grim, and she decides to be honest with him since he’s going out of his way to help Grim. Plus, because she knows how smart Idia is, she’s hoping he possibly can figure out what’s going on with Grim.
Once she tells Idia everything that happened and brings up the blot crystals, a conversation like what happened with Crowley in the game occurs since Idia knows exactly what they are and is quick to get a grasp on the current situation at hand.
When Idia asks just how many blot crystals Grim has eaten, Yuu confesses that she’s not entirely sure, because he could’ve easily eaten some in secret. At the most, it would be six in total since there were five Overblots and that one incident at the mine.
Even though the OB incidents are supposed to be on the down low, Yuu ends up telling Idia about them because Ace and Deuce brought them up, and she figures it would be fine for Iida to know since it’s not like he goes around interacting with people enough to spread rumors anyway lol
Naturally, Idia is dumbfounded about this new information. He cannot believe that many OBs have happened in the span of half a year, and he really can’t believe that Styx hasn’t already gotten involved.
Around that time, Ortho arrives at Ramshackle with Grim in tow, much to Yuu/Ace/Deuce’s relief, although Ace tries to act like he wasn’t at all worried lol
Once Grim is safely back at home, Yuu asks Idia what she should do since she really has no idea how to handle a situation like this, and he seems to be quite knowledgeable on this particular subject.
Ortho helpfully suggests having Grim sent to Styx to be examined, which leads to him explaining to Yuu/Ace/Deuce what Styx is and how it’s run by the Shroud family.
Idia’s not a fan of that idea, though, cause if he gets Styx involved that means more work for him in the future and he’s got a big game event he needs to prepare for lol 😂
However, Idia also doesn’t want to leave Grim as is since he could still be a threat, and he doesn’t want Grim’s health to be put at risk.
That’s why Idia suggests Grim staying at Ignihyde for the next few days so Idia can personally examine him and oversee him to ensure Grim won’t endanger anyone else.
Idia has done plenty of work for his family’s company, so he’s confident that he can handle Grim’s case on his own. Plus, getting to work with a cute kitty makes him extra motivated haha
While Yuu is reluctant to be apart from Grim, she knows that she can’t afford to take any risks after his recent behavior. Plus, she’s also worried about his health, so an examination seems like the best idea.
Yuu trusts Idia and Ortho, so she agrees to leave Grim in their care after thanking them for all their help. 
When Idia says that he’ll let her know when he thinks it’s safe for her to visit Grim, Yuu asks him and Ortho to let Grim know, if he wakes up before then and remembers what happened at the coliseum, that she doesn’t hold him responsible for her injuries. 
Ortho cheerfully promises to pass along her message and also promises to ensure that Grim will be well taken care of so she won’t have anything to worry about.
After she thanks him, Ortho takes Grim, so they can head to Ignihyde. Just as Idia is getting ready to end the call, which lasted too long for his comfort, Yuu quickly asks him about the OB guys. 
While she understands not wanting to get Styx involved in Grim’s case, will he do the same about the OB guys, or does he have to report to Styx about them?
Idia tells her that he probably should report them, but he has no interest in doing so for the same reason he doesn’t want to report Grim’s situation. So if she’s worried about her friends getting involved with Styx because she told him everything, she doesn’t need to be. Idia has no intention to tell anyone if he can help it.
Yuu is very relieved about this since, while she would understand Idia’s position if he did tell Styx about the OB guys, she would’ve still felt uncomfortable about the whole situation since it would’ve come about because she revealed info that she was supposed to keep secret. 
Another question Yuu ends up asking is what to do about Crowley since Grim will likely be missing school for the next few days. 
After thinking it over for a moment, Idia says that Yuu should contact Crowley about what happened tomorrow but downplay the whole situation. Ergo rather than admit Grim was doing some dangerous stuff earlier, just make it seem like Grim is feeling sick/acting strange due to the blot crystals and that’s why Idia is looking after him for the next few days to keep an eye on him.
Thankfully, when Yuu does just that, Crowley seems fine with leaving things to Idia. He asks to be kept updated but is otherwise alright with not taking any further action on his part.
(I feel like he would act like this since he doesn’t know about Yuu getting attacked and he isn’t dealing with the pressure of the cultural festival’s success due to the festival being over unlike in canon.)
The next few days pass, with Yuu worrying about Grim. While she does get updates from Ortho, her worry never abates since this whole situation just gives her a really bad feeling. 
It also doesn’t help that the night of Grim’s strange behavior she had a dream about that scene from Hercules involving Hades and Zeus. Not only that, she also saw some memories involving a very young Idia, who was around two or three years old at the time, which is how she gets her first glimpse of Styx headquarters.
Naturally, Yuu is on edge since this implies that Idia will be the next to Overblot. However, she doesn’t know how that’s possible since in the memories she saw it was mentioned by Idia’s parents that the Shroud family are cursed so they never have to worry about accumulating blot, so Yuu really has no idea what to make of this situation.
In the end, Yuu still finds herself asking Ortho if Idia is doing alright whenever she gets updates on Grim. She’ll ask if Idia’s overworking himself, if he’s getting enough sleep, etc. 
Since such questions aren’t too out of the ordinary coming from her, Ortho doesn’t find her behavior strange and is just happy that she’s showing concern on his brother’s behalf.
The only people Yuu shares her concerns with are Jamil and Leona, the latter because of his intelligence/quick thinking and the former because Jamil always keeps a close eye on her, especially after Book 5 events due to the breakdown she had over predicting Vil’s OB, so there was no hiding her anxiousness from him.
Yuu also tells them about what happened to Grim since she trusts them to keep it a secret. Plus, she wanted to hear their feedback on that as well.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much the guys can provide with the little info they have, but they both agree that something suspicious is going on, both with Grim and the whole OB situation as a whole. 
By the time Vil hosts a meeting for the NRC tribe at Ramshackle, Grim is still with Idia, although Idia has told Yuu that, while he hasn’t made any real progress with Grim’s examination, he thinks that it will soon be safe to return Grim to Ramshackle or at least have her visit Grim at Ignihyde since Grim hasn’t shown any signs of returning to his previous dangerous behavior. 
As a result, the meeting with the NRC tribe happens just like it does in canon.
As far the conversation about donations is concerned, although Ramshackle has had some renovations done thanks to Leona using some of his money on it after Book 2, the dorm is still in need of plenty of repairs such as getting a new roof and fixing the plumbing.
That’s because Leona’s renovations mostly focused on the kitchen, the flooring, and ensuring Yuu had a proper bed to sleep on, although Ruggie did hire a guy to ensure there weren’t any serous hazards in the building. 
Ruggie had wanted to take care of the all the plumbing, etc, but since these renovations were done during the week Yuu was staying at Savanaclaw acting as Leona’s errand girl to get his help with her final exam studies, he only had a limited amount of time to get things done since this was all meant to be a surprise for her.
That’s why there are still plenty of issues with Ramshackle that get pointed out by Kalim lol 
When Kalim and the others start donating their money to Ramshackle, Yuu is very surprised but also very touched. Although she’s half-tempted to refuse since she’s the type that wants to work for whatever money she is given, she accepts the money in the end since she knows it’s money that the guys don’t even want to keep, and she can understand them wanting to give back to the place they stayed at for the last month.
Yuu is quick to tell Deuce that he doesn’t have to worry about donating anything since she knows his family could use the money, so at her insistence, Deuce happily accepts the money, like Ace.
However, Deuce does promise that he’ll help Yuu out the next time she goes grocery shopping since that’s what friends are for, and he wants to do something for her, especially since she had been a great encouragement to him during the SDC/VDC training.
After complaining about Deuce making him look bad, Ace promises to treat Yuu and Grim at the cafeteria but only as long as Grim doesn’t go crazy lol
Yuu warmly thanks everyone for their help and promises to invite everyone over for a party to celebrate once Ramshackle has been renovated, an idea that’s welcomed by everyone. 
The next change from canon happens during the conversation with Rook about his opinion of their SDC/VDC performance.
After hearing what Rook had to say, Yuu decides to provide her own feedback as someone who was in the audience since I think that would’ve been nice to add to the game, although obviously the dialogue choices are limited for us.
Anyway, Yuu admits that she noticed a difference between their rehearsal performance and their public performance. However, if she were to choose which was the best one, she’d actually say it was the latter, which really catches Vil and Rook by surprise.
Yuu says this because that was the first time she saw Vil perform where he wasn’t performing just for the sake of beating Neige and becoming the most beautiful. During that last performance, he was performing for his team’s sake as well as for his fans because he wanted to give everyone a performance they wouldn’t be ashamed of/be disappointed in. 
That’s why, while it was true that their battered down bodies hindered their movements in that performance, that was Yuu’s favorite performance, because it felt like that was the first time they all really came together as a team.
And she’s sure that’s why they got as many votes as they did despite them not performing at their best. Just as Neige’s team put all they had into their performance, Vil’s team did the same.
That’s why, even after learning about Neige’s circumstances, Yuu would’ve still voted for the NRC tribe because both teams gave it their all, but in her eyes, no one shined brighter than her friends.
Of course, Yuu realizes that she might be too biased, but regardless, those are her true feelings.
Upon hearing this, there’s a noticeable positive change in the mood of the room, so Yuu’s words were definitely welcomed, although Ace complains about Yuu being too sappy as always, which earns him a sharp reprimand from Deuce who’s always quick to come to her defense. 
Meanwhile, Rook is waxing poetic about how Yuu’s pure feelings have touched all their hearts, etc. etc. 😂
While Vil’s overall feelings about his performance haven’t changed, he does thank Yuu for her words and for sharing her opinion since he knows how important it is to hear from those in the audience, and regardless of her bias, it’s nice to hear that she wasn’t at all disappointed with their final performance.
During this conversation, Yuu also says that she thinks that Vil looked the most beautiful she had ever seen him during that performance, which is why she had taken a picture of him on her phone since she had wanted to show it to him cause she wanted to make sure he saw what she thought was such a beautiful sight.
Thanks to all her practice with the ghost camera, Yuu has gotten pretty good at taking pictures, so she was able to get a great shot of Vil, one that Rook eagerly asks for a copy of to add to his collection lol
Even though he watched the performance several times after the fact, Vil finds himself feeling surprised when he looks at the photo since he looks different from how he did in the video to which Rook claims that it’s because they’re seeing Vil from Yuu’s POV.
Through her magnificent photography, Yuu was able to connect her heart to everyone else’s, so everyone can see what she did.
Vil rolls his eyes at Rook’s usual theatrics, but he acknowledges that some photos can only be possible as a result of certain people’s efforts. So this picture was obviously something that only Yuu could pull off that the cameraman for the video failed to do. 
In the end, Vil chalks it up to Yuu being so attentive to the people around her. She sees a lot of things most people miss out on, much like Rook, so he supposes he shouldn’t be surprised that she was able to take a picture like this that shows him at his absolute best.
While he doesn’t outright admit it, Vil is very pleased with the photo. Rather than say as much, he compliments her photography skills and tells her that she has his permission to keep the photo as long she doesn’t go sharing it anywhere else, aside from with Rook lol 
Regrettably, that good mood doesn’t last for long since it’s around that time that Yuu’s Quirk activates and shows her a vision of the Charon units invading Ramshackle.
It’s a very brief vision that only shows her that they’ll be crashing through the windows, but she doesn’t mind since it gives her enough time to warn everyone and get them away from the windows before the Charon units arrive.
From there, things happen like they do in canon, with Yuu wondering what the hell is going on and why Vil and Jamil seem to be the targets.
After Vil and Jamil get taken out, Yuu tries to keep the other first years from attacking to save Grim who has arrived on the scene, but she gets distracted by Grim who pleads for her to save him.
In that moment, all Yuu can think about is all the children back in her world that she failed to save - who desperately pleaded for her help but were still abandoned despite all her best efforts to protect them.
Unable to bear the thought of failing anyone else like that again, Yuu focuses all her attention on getting to Grim, so while the battle with the first years starts, Yuu quickly and silently circles around to approach the Charon units, intending to grab Grim’s cage while they’re distracted.
Seeing what she’s doing, the others do their best to keep the Charon units’ attention, including Kalim and Rook who are worried about her getting hurt if she gets discovered.
Unfortunately, Yuu gets caught in the act as soon as she lays hands on the cage containing Grim. However, she manages to get a good grip on it, so the Charon unit member holding the cage can’t immediately shake her off, especially not when she manages to wrap her legs around their waist to further impede their efforts.
It’s during this struggle that Yuu catches sight of the symbols on the Charon units’ shoulders and immediately recognizes them due to the memories she saw of Idia’s past.
Upon realizing that she’s dealing with Styx members, Yuu immediately starts questioning them, because she’s now wondering if Grim’s in the kind of situation where he needs to go to their headquarters for the sake of his health. 
Did something happen with Idia and he just didn’t get the chance to tell her yet? Or did Styx show up despite Idia’s best efforts to avoid getting them involved?
Unfortunately, one of the other Charon units takes advantage of Yuu stopping her resistance efforts and use the same spell they used on Vil/Jamil to shock her, causing her to lose her grip on Grim’s cage and his captor, much to her friends’ distress.
Yuu ends up briefly losing consciousness due to the stun spell, and during her brief bout of unconsciousness, she has another dream about Hades and sees another memory of Idia’s past. 
In this particular memory, Yuu sees Idia with a baby Ortho. In any other situation, such a cute sight would be very welcomed by her, but all she feels is dread because that Ortho is clearly human unlike the Ortho she knows.
Which begs the question: What happened to Ortho Shroud?
“I’m not gonna like how this story ends, am I, Idia-senpai?”
Even though he obviously can’t hear her, a sad Yuu asks that question while she watches the Shroud brothers in the memory.
Up until this point, she has seen a lot of sad things when viewing her friends’ memories, but she has a feeling these memories will be the worst yet, making her wish she didn’t have this strange memory viewing ability.
Because some things are better left unknown.
After she sees that memory, Yuu regains consciousness and finds herself in a worried Kalim’s arms while Rook is knelt down on her other side. 
Both of them are beyond relieved to see her awake, which makes her feel guilty for worrying them. 
It’s as she’s apologizing for causing them trouble that she remembers Ace and the others. When she looks for them, she sees the three first years all out cold, much to her distress.
Rook assures her that they’re alive and that they’ll be fine once they get proper treatment. He then asks her about her status, and she tells him that she’s fine since there thankfully weren’t any long-lasting side effects to that electrical attack that was used on her.
Now that Yuu is awake, Rook says that he’ll escort her and the other first years to the infirmary and asks Kalim to take care of alerting everyone else about what just happened.
Yuu volunteers to carry Epel via piggyback to the infirmary since he’s not very heavy/shorter than her, so Rook takes care of transporting Ace and Deuce.
After Kalim runs off to alert the other dorm leaders, Rook inquires about Yuu’s actions while confronting the Charon units, so she explains the situation with Grim and how Idia plays into everything. 
Rather than bring up the memory of Idia’s past, however, Yuu just says that she recognized the symbol on the Charon units shoulders as belonging to Styx which she learned about from Idia/Ortho.
All the while, Yuu’s mind is racing since Styx made off with Grim, Vil, and Jamil, and according to Rook, Ace couldn’t make contact with Riddle, which leads her to believe that all the OB guys were targeted since that would make the most sense.
Just to confirm her suspicions, Yuu tries to call all the OB guys as well as Idia, but no one answers their phones. 
Yuu isn’t too surprised about Idia not responding since he said it would be likely that he’d get dragged into things if Styx got involved which is what he was hoping to avoid.
This makes her wonder how Styx found about Grim and the others. Did something happen that made Idia think Styx needed to be contacted, or did someone else contact them?
If it’s the latter, then who’s responsible for this chaos?
Yuu doesn’t ponder that matter for too long, however, since most of her thoughts are focused on her injured friends and Idia’s possible future OB, the latter of which could possibly happen while he’s off campus with the others, meaning she’ll be unable to help like with the other OB battles.
Needless to say, she’s an anxious mess, even though she’s doing her best to not let it show or affect her actions.
Miraculously, she manages to get Epel to the infirmary without any issue despite the kind of mental state she’s in, and while Rook leaves to check on Pomefiore, Yuu remains in the infirmary long enough to do whatever she can to help the nurse tend to her friends’ injuries since the nurse’s hands are full with other patients and Yuu is well-versed with performing first aid.
Around the time Yuu finishes tending to her friends, Rook comes by to pick her up, so she can join the meeting in Crowley’s office since he thinks the information she has at her disposal will be vital to the meeting.
It’s not until Yuu enters Crowley’s office that she remembers that she didn’t really come out unscathed from the battle at Ramshackle. That’s because Ruggie is immediately checking her over when he sees her battered state and reprimands her when he finds out she was in the infirmary but didn’t get herself treated.
In her defense, Yuu completely forgot about her injuries since they’re all minor scratches/bruises thanks to the debris flying around, so she didn’t pay much attention to her state. Of course, Ruggie isn’t pleased with that excuse and orders her to return to the infirmary as soon as the meeting is over.
After that, the meeting is much like it is in the game, although a lot of the info revealed comes from Yuu. During this time, Yuu reveals what happened with Grim, but she still refrains from mentioning how he actually injured her since she still wants to avoid him getting into trouble for that.
(Things also pass the same with the OB gang, with the only difference being that Leona/Jamil think it’s likely that Yuu will try to get involved in this situation, which they want to avoid since she’ll just be putting herself in danger like all the other OB incidents.
Unfortunately, they know how stubborn she is, so if there’s a way for her to find an island that nobody knows the location of, it will be her lol)
After the meeting concludes, Yuu leaves the office with Rook and Ruggie, and the conversation from the game remains the same, just with some added mother-henning on Ruggie’s part haha
When Jack joins the group, he’s noticeably irritated upon realizing that Yuu got hurt, although he still keeps his usual level head, and she thanks him for worrying about her and assures him that she’s fine.
With Jack on the scene, Ruggie orders him to make sure Yuu gets properly treated in the infirmary in addition to checking to see if anyone from their dorm is there since Ruggie has other work he needs to do.
The infirmary visit overall happens just as it does in the game. One main difference is that Yuu apologizes to Crewel for not being able to stop the others and for her reckless behavior. She should’ve focused on the other first years, but at the sight of Grim’s plight, everything faded into the background because all she could think about was saving him.
Yuu knows that everything Crewel said was right. She and her friends could’ve easily died if that was the enemy’s true goal, and she deeply regrets her weakness and inability to protect the people so important to her.
In all her years, she has never felt more useless than right now.
Thankfully, she does feel a little better thanks to Jack’s encouragement. At the very least, it helps her switch to a more productive mindset since she knows he’s right about it being a waste of time to dwell on past mistakes.
She’s also encouraged by Crewel’s words about her class being under his protection and his obvious displeasure over what happened to his pups. 
However, while she doesn’t say as much, she doesn’t agree with leaving everything to the adults since, while she thinks most of the adults at NRC are very competent/decent people, Yuu still can’t bring herself to fully rely on them.
Plus, it’s just not in her nature to sit back and leave things to other people, especially when it’s involving matters that directly affect her and the people important to her.
That’s why Yuu is determined to find a way to the Island of Woe. She has to find out what’s going on with her friends and Grim and check on Idia who still hasn’t returned any of her calls. 
For that reason, when she and Epel later start heading for the Hall of Mirrors, Yuu asks if they can go on a quick detour to Ramshackle cause she wants to pick up the ring she got from Malleus as Christmas present.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t wearing it at the time of the Charon units’ attack since she doesn’t typically wear it when she’s just at the dorm. Otherwise, it would’ve been able to protect her from that stun spell that was used on her since the ring is able to reflect all magical attacks used on her.
While Epel understands her wanting to collect something like that after recent events, he thinks it’s unwise to enter the dilapidated remains of Ramshackle since it’s dangerous. 
Thankfully, Yuu has a way around that. She’ll get the Ramshackle Ghosts to retrieve the ring for her.
At least, that was her plan, but they end up not needing to go to Ramshackle because the ghosts came looking for her so they could bring the ring to her because they were worried about her and thought she’d be safer wearing it.
Naturally, Yuu is very touched by their kindness. She gives them a big thank you and also apologizes for Ramshackle’s current state. 
The ghosts are just glad she’s alright and are honestly more worried about Grim since they know what happened to him.
After passing along the info she had that they didn’t already know to the ghosts, Yuu parts ways with them and follows Epel to Pomefiore since, while she wants to go to Grim and the others’ rescue, she first needs to think of a proper plan since she can’t afford to be reckless.
Just like in the game, when they enter the Hall of Mirrors, they run into Rook who reveals that he intends to go after Vil and the others. 
Yuu quickly realizes this is the opportunity she was looking for. If Rook is looking that confident, he clearly knows how to get to the Island of Woe, so he’s her best shot at getting there.
Before she can say that she wants to join him, however, Rook takes off, much to her frustration.
Just as she’s wondering how she can chase after him, Epel begins wondering what to do like in the game.
When he gets to the point where he decides that he can’t just stick around, Yuu realizes he’s in the same boat as her, and she doesn’t know why she’s surprised. Of course, Epel hates this situation as much as she does. He doesn’t like to sit around and let other people do the work any more than she does.
Yuu tells Epel that, even though it may be reckless and stupid of her to feel this way, she wants to go where her friends are. She can’t just stand back and do nothing.
Yuu hates being useless more than anything, so she refuses to remain on the sidelines. She won’t let her life be filled with regrets about what she could’ve or should’ve done.
She’s going to do the things she wants to do regardless of how her actions may appear to others, because she wants to be true to herself and live a life without any more regrets.
Because the regrets she accumulated back in her world are enough to last her a lifetime.
Epel is equally as motivated, so they quickly pursue Rook via broom in order to force themselves into his rescue team.
From there on, things proceed like in canon, with no noticeable differences worth mentioning. Rook allows them to join him, and Yuu/Epel get amazed by the villas that his family owns lol
In regards to the cell phone situation, in the game, the trio turn their phones off in order to avoid being tracked via their GPS. However, up until that point, Yuu takes any chance she can get to try to call Idia, but as expected, he never answers.
When they finally reach their destination, Yuu’s group enacts the same plan as they do in canon, and she makes sure to remove her ring, intending to keep that as her secret weapon.
Near the end of the battle, Yuu’s Quirk activates, showing her a brief vision of Idia’s OB. Unfortunately, just like with the others, she has no idea what caused it, and she’s especially confused this time because his curse should prevent him from accumulating so much blot.
Before she can ruminate on the matter for too long, the battle ends, and the Charon units knock out her, Epel, and Rook. While she’s asleep, Yuu has another dream about Hades, and she sees memories of Idia and Ortho playing together.
The last memory she sees is of Idia deciding that he’ll find a way for him and Ortho to go on an adventure together, and for some reason, this particular memory gives Yuu a strong feeling of foreboding, which makes her afraid to see what will happen next.
After she sees that memory, Yuu wakes up and finds herself on the Island of Woe, like in the game. However, the story slightly veers from canon at this point.
Before Idia can really say anything, Yuu is on her feet, glaring at him, and stomping menacingly toward him. He feels more scared than he’d like to admit and wonders why the hell she looks so pissed.
He gets his answer when Yuu tears into him for worrying her so much. All this time, she’s been trying to call him to find out if he, Ortho, Grim, and the others are okay, but he never once returned her calls, not even to say they’re alive! He’s got a lot of nerve making her worry so much!
Things only get worse for Idia cause Ortho starts giving him a disapproving look. That’s because Ortho specifically told Iida to contact Yuu so she wouldn’t worry. 
Even if Idia’s not allowed to divulge classified info, he could’ve still contacted Yuu and say something to assuage her worries.
“Yuu-san is the only friend you have, Nii-san! You have to take better care of her!”
“That’s right! You gotta take better care of me, Idia-senpai!”
Idia’s outnumbered and outmatched, so he apologizes and pleads for Yuu to back off cause she’s really intimidating when she’s this angry and he can’t handle Ortho looking at him with such a disappointed expression lol 😂
In the background, Epel’s marveling at how well Yuu is handling herself against Iida. Rook thinks it really was a great idea to have her on their team and waxes some poetics about how beautiful Yuu’s friendship with Iida/Ortho is haha
Once she gets a proper apology from Idia, she asks Ortho for a health report on his brother, and Ortho’s all too happy to comply.
Idia’s utterly dumbfounded when Ortho starts telling Yuu when his brother last ate a proper meal, drank water, slept, etc. His shock only grows when he finds out this kind of exchange is normal for them cause Ortho asked Yuu for help in keeping an eye on Iida a while back, so this is just a part of that process, much to Idia’s dismay.
Idia immediately starts complaining cause while he agreed that Yuu could adopt Ortho he never gave permission for her to mother him! Keep that mother-hen mode to yourself!
Yuu just rolls her eyes and says she only does this because Ortho asked her to, and she can’t just ignore a friend who tries to live off sweets and energy drinks.
It’s not like she wants to dote on anyone other than her sons. Idia just leaves her no choice in the matter because he takes such poor care of himself. 
Ortho just thinks Yuu’s doing what any good friend would do and is in full support of her efforts. Meanwhile, Idia is wondering what he did to end up on this bad end route. He thought things were bad enough as it is with him having to deal with the SSR Troublemakers, but this is just horrible. He wants to lock himself in his room so bad and never leave again lol
Since he doesn’t wanna deal with this conversation anymore, Idia gets things back on track and asks Yuu’s group why they’re at the Island of Woe.
Rook and Epel give their canon answers, but in the case of Yuu, she says that she came cause she was worried about everyone, Idia and Ortho included. She wanted to see for herself if they were alright, so she came here.
While Ortho’s happy that she was worried on their behalf, Idia’s confused since he has no idea why she would be worried about them. It’s not like it’s been a long period of time since they last spoke, so wasn’t she totally jumping the gun here?
Rather than reveal she was worried about his OB, Yuu just says that she was worried that he and Ortho got in trouble with Styx and that was why they were brought back here along with the OB guys cause that is also technically the truth.
Since Idia didn’t contact Styx about Grim or the OB guys like he should’ve done, Yuu thought maybe he would get punished, and that was why he never answered her calls cause he couldn’t.
In the end, Yuu just sums it all up with: “So many people that I care about were taken without any explanation. Of course, I would be so worried that I couldn’t sit around. Yes, it was dangerous to come, but staying at NRC, drowning in my fears and regrets, would’ve been just as harmful to my health. So I decided to just do what I wanted regardless of how stupid or reckless my actions may seem, because I don’t want to live a life full of regrets.”
Idia’s response is much like how it is in the game, but deep down, there’s a small part of him that can’t help but feel a little happy that she was actually worried about him. Of course, he would never ever acknowledge the existence of those feelings or admit to feeling them lol
From there, things proceed like in canon with Ortho being in charge of Yuu’s group while Idia gets back to HQ with the cosmetics that Rook asked him to deliver to Vil.
One difference that occurs is that Yuu overhears Ortho talking about what happened to him, and a chill runs down her spine at that remark.
Before she can question him, however, Ortho cheerfully takes her by the hand and begins escorting her group to the room they’ll be staying in, making her lose the opportunity to ask him to elaborate on his foreboding words.
The next change from canon happens after Ortho leaves the room he dropped Yuu, Epel, and Rook off in. Yuu gets a vision about the conversation between the Shroud brothers that talks about their family and its curse, providing more details about it.
After she has that vision, Yuu finds herself once again wondering how Iida could possibly OB when he has that curse. It just doesn’t make sense to her.
She also wonders just how much time they have before Idia’s OB happens. She couldn’t get an exact time from her vision, but she knows it’ll be happening in the near future, definitely while they’re all still at Styx HQ.
Having noticed her obvious distress, Rook and Epel question Yuu about her vision and about what’s on her mind, so she tells them about what she foresaw. 
In the case of Idia’s OB, she has to give hints about it since her drawback won’t allow her to reveal the contents of visions that foretell serious events like that.
She also reveals that she had a feeling this would happen even before her vision because of the dreams of the Seven Greats situation she’s in. She apologizes for not saying anything sooner, but she really didn’t want to say anything without any actual proof. Plus, a small part of her just didn’t want to jinx things in the futile hope that maybe Idia wouldn’t actually Overblot.
Plus, keeping secrets is just per the norm for her now that she finds herself doing it even when it’s not actually necessary. 
Thankfully, Epel and Rook don’t hold it against her, although Rook does gently chide her for keeping all those worries to herself. He’s her upperclassmen, someone she should rely on in times like this, so he’d like for her to come to him with all her fears and troubles since he wouldn’t hesitate to do whatever he could to help her.
Epel’s quick to jump on the bandwagon and says that since they’re friends Yuu shouldn’t hold back with him. No matter how crazy something sounds, if it’s coming from Yuu, he’ll believe it cause he trusts her and knows she’d never lie about something as serious as this.
Touched by their words, Yuu thanks them and promises not to keep her worries to herself anymore. She then asks for their help since she knows she can’t solve this problem on her own, and they both immediately agree.
While having their support is encouraging, Yuu can’t help but still feel anxious, because she has a bad feeling about what’s all to come in the near future.
She can only hope she’s wrong.
To be continued.

played metroid prime just like everyone else on the planet, apparently
it was ok (for a metroid game) (that means it is still pretty damn good)
But I can’t lie, given the reputation this game has, I was somewhat disappointed. For transparency, I did play it m+kb on my microsoft wii, though if I had shelled out the price for the remaster I doubt my experience would have been much different lol. Explanation below, with spoilers?
I’ll start with what it does well though, and that’s being Super Metroid but in 3d. In terms of exploration, how the world is presented, how you progress, etc. was translated to 3d pretty perfectly. Having pretty much no guidance and a full map, but still having one or maybe two actual correct ways that, if you just keep going forward or think about what you’ve seen before, you can find really easily. Honestly, in many ways, it just kinda feels like a really really big zelda dungeon. Or maybe zelda is a mini metroidvania. You decide! You can really see the bones of this game in so many modern metroidvanias. There’s not even really things you need to shoot a million times because of scan visor! 
And yeah, the scan visor is really cool. Being able to just scan to find out how to approach enemies, or how (or when) to get past obstacles, or learn stuff about the world is pretty neato. The other visors, though, were... ok, I guess. They aren’t interesting to use or anything, just *necessary to see certain enemies*, which I guess is fine just not nearly as interesting as scan visor. (They are also sort of an eyesore, and I imagine the remaster does improve on that)
Speaking of needing a thing to beat certain enemies, I just really hate the space pirates and drones and metroids that have a certain element that they can be hit by. This might just be some bias but I feel like they just take way too long to kill compared to their 2d counterparts, and being forced to use, say, ice beam (which shoots slow as hell) is just a slog. It kinda leads into my first major gripe, being that the combat feels like it takes a little too much of a spotlight for how... admittedly boring it can be. And this is with m+kb controls making aiming a lot better. I don’t really know if it’s actually just later enemies having too much health but the shooting doesn’t feel *that* fun or fluid, like in the 2d games, or out of the way, like in ori 1. Like if it was just a minor thing you just don’t have to think about I wouldn’t complain, but since fights take so long I can’t help but just be a little underwhelmed. 
It is definitely exacerbated by my second gripe, which is just that enemies, and especially bosses, are not that interesting? Like they have 1 or 2 attack patterns that you can recognize and dodge, and then you have your turn and you shoot them in the weak spot or with the weak element, rinse and repeat for however long. I think I can give it a little bit of a pass for how old the game is, but I just didn’t really feel that engaged by the bosses. Maybe that’s just a boss design thing and not the combat? I don’t know. Something in there just felt underwhelming.
One last thing to complain about, I promise, but I felt pretty much the entire last “act” was kind of... eh? I didn’t really care for the artifact hunt, it felt a little annoying (especially having to go through the space pirate research base again...). And then the back to back to back of Meta Ridley, Metroid Prime, then Metroid Prime again just really made a point of showing me the totally awesome boss fight design. Especially the final Metroid Prime form which I thought would be like Dark Beast Ganon like oh cool I super zap it to deal a ton of damage.... and then it dealt like maybe 1/10 of its health bar. And then it started summoning more metroids, some of which were the annoying ones. So it was just a really really... fun.... “I have my turn (for a full minute) and then you have yours (for 10 seconds)”. And to then top it all off, I don’t even get an evacuation sequence?? :/
This one’s a more minor, personal issue, and that’s just that I really don’t care to read so much lore. Environmental storytelling and worldbuilding, and ambient mood setting are things that I think Super Metroid perfected and nothing has really met, and that’s something I still believe even having played Prime. If you want to deliver story beats/developments/realizations in a game like this, you show don’t tell. I’m not delivering like a crazy revelation here, any writer knows this lol. But like, for example, to show that, say, the space pirates experimentations of phazon with metroids, instead of a bunch of space pirate data logs to read, there could have been like, idk, some metroid encounters or you see a metroid escape that looks unstable and oozing with phazon. And the chozo artifacts could definitely have been better tied to the phazon stuff too. It’s why I’ve always really enjoyed Fusion and Dread, even if they are departures from the way things are presented in Super, because they actually commit to narrative telling. Maybe I’m off base here, idk, but I just really wish there were less lore tablets and more intuitive things or like even straight up character interactions to show me what’s going on. I hope Silksong improves on that, but I doubt it. Wait what game are we talking about again?
Ok but enough negativity, I really enjoyed everything up to then. Like I said the actual metroidvania parts of it were really excellent. As good as Super Metroid? Not quite, but I do consider that pretty much peak metroidvania performance, so that’s a very high bar. It emulates it super well, and I was definitely really enjoying the full loop of unlocking and going further into the planet. The music too, was really good -- but again Super Metroid’s soundtrack is simply a masterpiece that I think even the 3DS and Switch’s adaptations/remasters of the same tracks don’t hit the same. 
All in all I think that’s pretty much a really good way to put it. It adapts Super Metroid’s strengths very well, but not quite to the extent of it, and some things do just get lost in the transition to 2D and 3D, I guess. It’s different from Fusion and Dread because those games are unabashedly more straightforward experiences, while still maintaining pretty much all the Metroid backbone and blood. It’s trying the same thing, but in a different form. I can respect it, but it’s definitely not my favorite. Which is a high bar! For reference I still end up rating this game pretty much a 9/10 - which may seem odd given all I’ve said, but I think for the most part this really hits the mark, and Metroid has just a really super good backbone, there’s just some.. growing pains? idk. I’ll definitely play the rest of the trilogy. I did see Dark Samus escape from metroid prime so... I think the next 2 games will definitely up the ante. Or maybe they won’t. We’ll see.

Volume 3 of my adventures in Eorzea text doc! This turned out longer for some reason, and it’s mostly rambles anyway so I’ll put it behind a read more (if I can figure out how to)
- Off to a crypt to beat up some doomsday cult! - It's quite interesting to see the starting zone of a different class (i assume that's what Gridania is) - Gridania at night is so peaceful, love the sound of crickets (at least in games) - Oh it's yet another dungeon! I wonder what the boss will be. The bow guy mentioned bird people so maybe them? - I've only just realized I'm called a Gladiator and the npc's are lancer, conjurer and thaumaturge, none of those are classes as I've heard of them, perhaps I get real classes later? - I'm a bit unclear on what interject does. I've been able to cancel enemy aoe's (the orange areas) with low blow and shield bash, but interject almost never works (I think it worked once?) so it must be for some other use. - Oh a squid wizard - Low blow didn't stop squid wizard's charge move, but that's probably because he's a boss and immune to stun? - I feel like most of my gameplay is done during the night for some reason, although it might be day rn and it's just raining. - Mother Miounne also pretty, elf race is pretty, but necks kinda long - Oof, poor rando party - Airship to the Golden Saucer? If I wasn't pressed to get my chocobo i'd investigate further. - Oh hey a third skill for my combo, finally I can stop pressing two buttons over and over and now I can press THREE! - I was just here yesterday but it somehow still feels like coming home back in Ul'dah - Papashan! - Hecatoncheires? They better have a hundred arms - Ah another duty/dungeon? idk the terminology. I wonder if these would go by faster if I was a dps class instead of a tank. - I always forget it resets iron will at the start of these, I always forget to turn it on until a mob attacks the npc's instead of me - Oh I got sync'd down to level 20 so I don't know my 3-part combo anymore, boo! - Nope they have 2 arms, kind minotaur-y but no eyes? or perhaps they're under those helmets. - This dungeon has a lot of random dead ends that has nothing in them. - Had to dodge so much in this Kottos fight. - This Gyges guy has some real weird aoe indicators - I feel bad for beating up the Hecatoncheires though, they didn't do anything wrong - Random merchant/thug encounter, I can't imagine this goes well for them. Well they got stomped and now I'm passing out again! - Used my past vision powers to prove a woman innocent! - The Scions you say? I've heard of you from a certain xenomorph - Ah! Edda! Oh noes, her fiance? Apparently that happened many days ago even though I was just in Gridania like... an hour ago, guess that's what happens when you do non-stop MSQ = Hmm looking at a quick wiki browse with no spoilers the point in the MSQ i'm at is level 17, even though I myself am level 27, so I still have a ways to go before getting my chocobo. Might have to wait until tomorrow. - At least I can rent a chocobo to get around! And the riding music is nice. - Oh Tataru, I've heard of you as well. - Oh god, more voice acting, it's so few and far between it's jarring every time - Lady put on a shirt - Perhaps it's the read from her VA but she sounds like she's stifling a huge smile the entire time she talks - Primals probably are a huge problem in this world, but I can't help but feel they might be friendly, probably my conditioning in Granblue - How is being able to see the memories of others gonna help me slap around primals? - That doesn't seem like a particularly strong passphrase Minfilia - I'm really not keen on Minfilia's voice for some reason, idk why it's not particularly bad, but doesn't really fit her? Maybe that's just me though.
- Sadly it is time for bed and still no Chocobo, but tomorrow! By the gods I’ll get it tomorrow!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:* YOU HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER, LET’S SEE WHAT’S INSIDE! *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
salutations: fairytale (villain!au, sagau)
addressed to: diluc
content: spoilers to diluc’s story quest, heavy religious themes, violence, burnt injuries, imposter character, angst/no-fluff
post-script: it’s up to you on whether or not this is connected to my previous sagau fics. for now, enjoy !
sagau navigation
when diluc heard the divine imposter creator saying how there’s an imposter who has an intent to kill them, he did not hesitate to start hunting for them.
sure the three archons had a head-start in hunting for the imposter, but that doesn’t mean they had found them already. if the man is lucky enough, maybe the imposter could be somewhere around the nation of freedom if they were that desperate to kill his creator.
and how lucky he was to find the imposter walking around in brightcrown canyon.
how bold of them to walk around acting like they’re not planning to kill his creator.
the man gripped his claymore tightly from the sight of the imposter alone, his thoughts starting to grow darker and darker about what he’s going to do with them.
he’ll make sure his beloved creator will finally be at peace knowing that the threat has been removed by theirs truly.
as he stalked towards you, you immediately heard his footsteps, causing you to turn around to his direction like what a prey does when noticing a predator’s presence.
“…diluc?” you called out, eyes widening in shock from the sight of the familiar figure of the darknight hero. “what are you do— AH!”
the man furrowed his eyebrows when you dodged his phoenix, watching as you look at the man in betrayal, something he mistaken as fear instead.
you won’t be able to miss the second time, he thought to himself as he began to run after you.
diluc has to admit, you’re difficult to chase after - but he’s getting tired of this cat and mouse chase. the sooner he can catch you, he can be able to come back to his dear creator with the head of teyvat’s most wanted person.
how long has it been since he started chasing you? he honestly lost count, distracted by his bloodlust to kill you in the name of the divine creator.
“give me their head,” his divine creator said with the sweetest smile as everyone stood still from their request. “and i’ll make sure the person will be my consort. my only consort.”
he’ll be damned if he won’t become their consort.
“diluc please! why are you chasing me?!” you screamed your lungs out as you continue to run away from the now madman, making sure to dodge every of his flames with the best you can.
you knew it won’t be long before you lose your stamina - and there’s no way in celestia will you be killed in the hands of a delusional character that you once grew fond of.
“you dare act like you have no knowledge on what you’re doing?!” diluc said in anger, feeling intense heat from the handle of his claymore. “everywhere you go, we’ll make sure you won’t be treated lightly — not when you’ve threatened our beloved creator!”
“i’m telling you the truth! i don’t know what you’re talking about!” you yelled, letting out a gasp when you tripped from a branch you failed to see moments before, causing you to fall on the grass.
shit.
diluc saw his chance to finally summon another phoenix, cueing him to swing his claymore and send a phoenix to your direction as you try to stand up.
you tried to dodge again, but you were too late as the flames went pass to you and burn your whole back, causing you to scream out in pain and fall back to the ground on your knees.
what have you done to be treated this way? you thought to yourself, breathing heavily from the intense pain on your back. you need to move now! you need to ignore the pain and—
you cried once again when you felt diluc’s boot on your burnt back, clenching your hands into fists from the pain you received. make it stop, make it stop, MAKE IT STOP
“it’s about time you give up.” he spat out, slowly raising his claymore upwards as your vision began to blur from your tears. i’m sorry, i’m sorry, please leave me alone
you slowly exhaled, closing your eyes in defeat. perhaps you weren’t meant to be in this world nor in your home.
just when you thought you were going to die, you felt the weight on your back lifted.
…?
you hesitantly tried to look at the red-haired man, only to see him staring at you as though you have two heads.
why.. why are you bleeding gold? diluc thought to himself in horror, paying no mind to your confused gaze at him. what is the meaning of this?
he drops his claymore, slowly backing away from your weakened body.
it can’t be.
“y..your grace?” he whispered shakily, his hand slowly reaching out to you, only for his heart to ache when you retreated from his hand coming closer to you, watching you slowly backing away in fear.
“i’m… i’m sorry, please let me make it u—” without letting the man finish his words, you didn’t hesitate to stand up and run away, not bothering to look back once.
diluc watched as you ran away until your figure disappeared in his view, his eyes growing dull in realization.
he failed his true creator.

Can you do gaming club leader xiao.if so than then thank you so much.if not than it ok
Welcome to 2-dsimp’s Cabaret where every desire will be fulfilled😉✨
(SD: Sorry for the wait!🤧)
Tumblr media
Yandere! Gaming Club Leader! Xiao!
Headcannons 👾
🎮 Is a total shut-in, this gamer boi has yet to see the light of day and quite frankly never had the plans to attempt doing so since he was homeschooled for most of his life before his parents gave him the boot
🎮Claiming that they were keeping him from the real world and restricting him from outside interaction
🎮With a heavy heart his doting parents sent him to attend the public high school of Akademi
🎮First day in—he wanted to shrivel up and die
🎮Sensory overload much? Also due to his pretty boy looks it gave him the runaround of the century
🎮He was forced to put his ghosting skills to the test by dodging and weaving those who persisted in vying for his attention despite his resting bitch face and his lone wolf nature almost religiously
🎮He just wanted some peace and quiet and it was only attained when his Senpai stepped in and became his saving grace
🎮 He was at first skeptical of their intentions but soon became thankful of how kind and considerate they were of his needs to be grounded
🎮Sincd it was overwhelming, being bombarded with questions upon questions of which became too intrusive at some point in time
🎮His stand offish nature restricted him being able to communicate freely with his peers taking that into consideration, his Senpai practices with him to become more sociable by having light pleasant conversations of the others interests
🎮 Thanks to the little hint of his passion for gaming with a beaming grin Senpai guided him to an empty tech room with fancy computers of where instantly something clicked in his mind that this could be his safe space, their sacred hangout
🎮Surveying the dark cool room with hopeful cat like eyes, he started to settle down in the comfy rolling chair and he nonchalantly began playing video games that were conveniently already installed to cope with his miss endeavors
🎮Little did he know he played himself because as soon as the video game club members started to flood in preparation for their upcoming game championship competition weeks from now
🎮They immediately took notice of Xiao’s long nimble fingers dragging along the keyboard with skillful strokes and perfected killer combos which left them begging on their knees for Xiao to become their leader
🎮Begrudgingly he accepted the imposing position and decided to use this chance to secure a hideout from the raging hormonal teens
🎮Spoiler alert: under his supervision they became the undisputed champions
🎮Slowly as time passes Senpai’s saint like patience with his loner tendencies payed off as he was now less guarded and more prone to follow them around the school like a watchful vigilante
🎮Xiao is the type to never forgets the good deeds one has done for him and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t do everything in his power to pay it back especially if it’s his crush
🎮Once a rival has made themselves known around him they’d better be careful because once gamer Xiao has been activated he’ll begin to treat life like a video game meaning all sense of his humanity will be stripped away
🎮As he see’s his rivals as just another moving target to knock-off, of course he doesn’t murder right off the bat some good old acts intimidation should do the trick if not…
🎮He’ll submerse himself within the game mentality of assassin Creeds Mc and destroy the brave soul who thought they could hold a candle to his Senpai
🎮Effectively assassinating his rival without anyone noticing nor making a sound
“Senpai you’ve done so much for me…I’ll be sure to pay you back in full, if you so desire I’ll even give you my heart as it was already yours to begin with~”

The Fifth Lord: Chapter 4
Tumblr media
Pairing: Alcina Dimitrescu and (Fem!Dragon)Reader [non-romantic], Bela Dimitrescu x (Fem!Dragon)Reader
Summary: Your name is Y/n Dracul; The only ‘mutant’ that doesn’t have the Cadou Parasite. You already have some sort of power that impressed Mother Miranda; you were the first known Human-Dragon Hybrid. Although you have your own house, “House Dracul”. Your ‘house’ itself is basically an unused wing of Castle Dimitrescu.
Warnings: Heartbreak, sadness, game spoilers [I’m sure everyone has watched or played Village]
A/N: So like- The fly Bela left Y/n is all nice ‘n toasty (Y/n can produce body heat to keep it warm) when they’re outside of the castle. 
“Fairy Tail Main Theme - Slow Ver.” Yasaharu Takanashi [Play this when Cassandra says, “Y/n...”]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You lost two of your favorite people in the world, one of them being the love of your life. however, that couldn’t be on your mind at the moment. You have a mission; protect Cassandra. You continue down the hall slowly, trying to inhale the air; attempting to pinpoint Cassandra’s location by scent. Once you reach the end, you’re met with the House Dimitrescu house crest on the door. You take Bela’s key and unlock the it. 
“Lady Cassandra?” You call out
No answer...
"Lady Cassandra!!" You call out to her
But no answer.
Damnit... Crying doesn’t help when you’re trying to track a scent... But, she must be in an area where she can't hear me... Or she’s thinking I’m Ethan... Or both.
You noticed how your crying stuffed your nose and blurred your vision ever so slightly. 
"Lady Cassandra!!" You scream, in an attempt for her to come to you
Again, no response.
She's close though.... God please be okay....
You take the doorway straight across from the entry hall from the hidden doorway. 
"Lady Cassandra?" You call out to her, opening the door
She wasn't anywhere to be seen in that room however, look under a fireplace and see a hole; big enough for someone to crawl through.
It's getting stronger...
Without even crawling, you maneuver into the hole and into the armory room.
"Lady Cassandra," you sigh in relief, running over to her
"My lord, what the hell are you doing here?" She asks, turning to you
"Ethan Winters- in our castle- he killed Bela and-and Daniela, he's coming here next," you say, “I must get you to a safe place...”
Before you could continue explaining, the door opens from the other room.
It's his scent... I have to get Lady Cassandra out of here.
"I have to get you out of here," you state, looking for a way out of the armory other than the one you came through
"Like hell I’m running away," Cassandra says, materializing into her fly swarm
"No! Lady Cassandra!" You say, “I have to get you to Alcina!”
But she didn’t listen to you. 
“I was worried my sisters have gotten to you first,” Cassandra laughs, taunting Ethan
“Cassandra!” You yell, “No!”
You try to hold her back and for the both of you to head for the exit. However, she elbows you in the gut and pushes you off of her. You’re knocked into a couple of armor sets.
“Cassandra!” You yell once more, “You must get out of here!”
“I told you already my lord I am going to finish what my sisters could not!” She growls at you
It’s not that Lady Cassandra... I can’t afford to lose you... My Lady cannot afford to lose you too...
However, what you notice is what Ethan is carrying in his hand. You forcibly move out from the fallen armor pieces and lunge at him.
“Cassandra!” You yell, “His hand! He has a pipe bomb!!” 
However, Winters throws the pipe bomb towards the crevice in the wall. At that point you tried to pick yourself back up to reach for Cassandra instead of Winters.
“Look out!” You scream, your arm outstretched to Cassandra
“What?” Cassandra asks you, confused 
However, just before you could reach her, the pipe bomb goes off, knocking the both of you away from each other. You get knocked into some barrels and you wheeze out for air. Cassandra’s screams of pain are muffled. 
“Lady.... Cassandra... We.. Have to... R-run...” You groan
“You’ve ruined the hunt!” Cassandra snarls at Ethan
Once you gained your bearings and your vision, you look up and notice Cassandra getting shot at. The screams and pained grunts had sent something up your spine and to your legs.
“Lady Cassandra!” You yell, forcing yourself up from the debris of wood
A bullet grazes your shoulder as you shield Cassandra from oncoming bullets. You let out a frustrated growl as you begin emitting body heat in an attempt to reverse the decreasing metabolism on Cassandra. However, you coil one arm around Cassandra as the both of you begin falling to the ground. 
“Get away from her!” You scream
However, your other arm throws a fireball at Ethan. He dodges but faints in the process.
“Come on heat,” You tell your own body, “Don’t let Cassandra die on me!”
“Y/n...” Cassandra says, hugging you, “Stop...”
“I’m not going to watch you die in front of me!” You scream, a fire emitting your entire body
“You’re... Warm...” Cassandra says weakly, “I don’t feel how painful the fire is...”
You let out a human scream as you continue to try and warm Cassandra with your dragon-like fire based abilities.
“Y/n.... It’s no use...” Cassandra says weakly once more, “Stop before you overwork yourself...”
“I cannot watch you die too!” You yell, confessing why you were so persistent on getting her out, “I watched Daniela die... I had come too late for Bela... I can’t let the same thing happen to you...”
“I. Y/n.. It’s okay. I Can’t turn back.. Anyway..” She groans
“We’ll figure something out but for now I have to get you out of here and to get you to-”
“I’ll be able to see my sisters... Won’t I?” She asks you, tears forming into her eyes
You pull away from her to look at her; she’s continuing to crystalize, “You will...”
You try to smile for her but it only turns into an ugly crying frown. You were still trying to emit enough body heat for her however the constant incoming cold air doesn’t help your case.
“It’s okay y/n,” She smiles at you
She smiles as she begins allowing her body to go limp.
“No no no no no no no...” You stutter, trying to figure out how to get her out of the armory
“Tell mother that I... I’m sorry...” She says before reaching out to your hand, “I’ll be seeing my idiot sisters soon...”
Before you could touch her hand she crumbles in your lap and in your arms. You pick the torso up from the pile. You let out strangled gasps as you begin sobbing once more, clutching the torso. 
Damnit damnit damnit.... Not Lady Cassandra too! DAMNIT ALL!!!!
Deja vu, you hear a gun cock behind you. You look up and slowly turn your head to Ethan; severely burned.
“Thanks to you, I’m never getting out of here!” He yells
“Thanks to you.... The family I’ve ever loved is gone...” You growl, smoke coming out of your mouth
He immediately puts his gun away at the sight of the combusting gas in your mouth. 
“You’re going to pay,” Your two voices coming out of your mouth
You were caught off guard when he was running towards the other side of the room. You were questioning him why he was reaching for an animal skull mount. You only watch him run out of the armory. Your own body goes limp when you look back at Cassandra’s crystal torso but still having your fingers firmly holding onto it for dear life. 
“I’m sorry too Lady Cassandra,” you choke on a sob, rocking the torso back and forth, “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you...”
You finally leave the armory and make your way to the bedchamber. You kick open the door, startling Alcina. She stands and begin turning her body to face you however, she stops when she hears your knees make impact with the ground. 
“I... Couldn’t save.. H-her...” You stutter over your words, “I-I tried all I could- I. I tried to get her out I really tried...”
Your voice trails off as Alcina walks up to you, taking the torso from your hands.
“’Tell Mother that I’m sorry’,” You say, “Those were Cassandra’s last words...”
You could easily tell that Alcina had been crying. She hides it well. But you? You were a crybaby. As soon as you smelled Bela’s remains, that was it for you. You haven’t recovered yet. You strongly believed you never will.
“Where is Winters now?” Alcina asks, gently but firmly
“I don’t know...” You sigh, hanging your head low, “I was still in shock... Cassandra and Daniela died in front of me... I found Bela too late...”
“I’ll go and find him,” Alcina says, walking past you, “You stay as long as you need dear. You’ve done all you could. Let me finish things here...”
You hear the door shut as you let your body fall onto the floor, seeing Daniela and Cassandra’s remains from across the room.
“Why does everyone I want to protect die in front of me?” You ask yourself, looking at Daniela and Cassandra
You didn’t realize how much time had passed until you jolt your head up when you hear roaring, faint roaring.
My Lady... She must have found Winters.... 
You exit the bedchambers and begin trudging through the halls, where the roars and gunshots were getting louder. You were exhausted; from crying for the last several hours. You just wanted everything to be over and for you to go back to the way things were. However, you could never go back to the way things were. Because, the people you cared about most in the world were non longer there with you. 
“Only The Lady is left...” You say to yourself, entering the hall, “I have to get to her...”
You run across the angel statue hall and push through the heavy doors.
Chapter 5

Tumblr media
Previously
“Clearly one of us is lying about the book” Belphie said it looking at Satan.
“Obviously, but the question is who is lying”
“L-L-L-LUC-C-CIF-E-E-E!!! DON’T LET. GOOOOO!!” As Lucifer is flying through the dark sky of devildom above the unknown woods following Mammon. Levi is holding to dear life as Lucifer hold him by the arm and Levi hold on to Lucifer’s arm scared of falling.
“Mammon, where do you think your going!” Lucifer yells at his brother who let out shrike in responds.
“Hunting! Then why didn’t you say something before you left!” Mammon groan at Lucifer’s nagging. He won’t able to hunt properly with the two-demon yelling and scream behind him. He has to say something
He looked down and spot an opening field and decided to make a quick stop to have a little chat with his brothers.
Lucifer saw Mammon dive down to the open space in the wood, knowing fully well what he wants, Lucifer quickly dived down scaring Levi with sudden action as they follow Mammon to the ground.
“Stop following! Ya and Levi stay here, while I hunt” Mammon tells Lucifer, but poor Levi is only hearing shrike out of Mammon’s beak.
“Ah? Lucifer what is he telling us?” Levi whisper into Lucifer’s ear but he ignores Levi’s question and start walk up to Mammon with a scowl look on his face.
“You don’t get to tell me what to do Mammon, you are not in charge here.” Lucifer got into Mammon’s face and look him directly in the eyes as he said it, and Mammon loudly growl at Lucifer as he did the same thing.
“Hey-hey-hey! Okay let’s not fight!?! Come on w-we’re back together why are you guys like this!” Levi step in between them and raise both arms keep them far from each other.
Mammon huffs and turn his back on his brothers and start flying leaving the two worry and angry.
“Lucifer, I know that you’re not yourself right now, but maybe not try to provoke Mammon…... we just got him back and it seems that he took care of y/n at this point…... I think he knows what his doing” Levi sound worried after all first and second eldest are each other’s throat every time they’re in the same place, he has to think of something.
Lucifer took a deep breath and compose himself try to keep his instinct under control, he has to find that book, to finish the spell on himself.
He can’t go on like this, every control he has is slowly slipping away. At least finishing the spell will help him get a better understanding of demonic self or at the very least help control it.
“Levi, come on let’s go. We can’t leave Mammon all on his own”
“Are you sure, by the way he acted just now. It seems that he did want us to follow”
“We’ll watch from afar; I want to see how he hunts”
Levi unsurely nods at Lucifer, without wasting a second Lucifer flew above Levi and grab him by shoulder with his taloned feet as they start following Mammon again.
“Sweet, their all close together. They make this so much easier……. Oh, and the big one is there! Yer not gettin’ away this time” Mammon is circling above the lake where dread Deer are gathering by this time.
It took him two days to learn how get the hang of his demonic form, and two days you two had to eat only fruits and berries. He kinda miss instead noodles at night with you playfully feeding.
Before last night being in this form, it feels like he hasn’t change at all he finally gotten comfortable with this.
More time passes the better he gotten to flying, gliding, and swooping and catching things with taloned feet.
But he do miss the days when he is in his human form
The things that can do, and this demonic form can't do, especially with you.
Where he can hold you in his arms and hold your hand. Or how he just lay his hand on your chest hearing your heart beat with his arms wrap around your waist and your legs his torso, with one hand on his back and the other messaging his scalp.
Or some nights where you two are alone and being intimate, he peppering you with his kisses on your naked body, as you ran your hands all over his arms and torso. Then he pulls back to take a better look at you, your eyes are playfully narrow as you bit your lip with your cheek is red cross your face.
He leans forward right next to your ear.
“I love you so much” he whispers into your ear, making you giggle and turn to kiss you on the cheek “You’re my Treasure…… never forget that”
Now his stuck like this for a week now, wanting to change back once the two weeks are up. But all the while he gotten better with hunting. I mean he did kill Basto’s men when he decides to hunt him down once and for all.
But he didn’t expect for his brothers to go and try to trap him with Basto as bait, now everything he work so hard at this point, is throw out the window with his brothers being in the treasure cavern with you and him.
He doesn’t know why but he doesn’t like to be near Lucifer right now. Especially when his like that and being more like an angrier than before. And every time he see him, some thing about his presences just tick him off like it was instinct telling him to stay the hell away from him or not let Lucifer push him around. He hates it.
Right now, he just has to focus on the hunt.
After half an hour of waiting, the big dread deer move closer to four other Deer, now there his chances. He quickly swoops down and extend his taloned feet and landing on bigger dread deer digging into it flesh, with both taloned arms on the two deer grabbing them by neck crushing their throat and his beak bit down on the four deer’s neck breaking it spine. And it all happen in spilt second.
The herd start running away and hide back into the wood, once the trampling of hooves slowly fades, and what remains is the whimper of the stag dread deer underneath Mammon’s talons with snap of his feet, breaking the deer’s chest killing and silent filled the air.
“Four in one, this is my lucky day” he wags his tail at his accomplishment with a smile at eyes and a dead deer in his beak.
Then his joy quickly fades away when he heard Lucifer’s wings flapping closer, he quietly groans once he heard two pairs of feet landed on the ground behind him.
“I’m impress Mammon, you manage to kill four dread deer”
“I wasn’t lookin’ for yer praise”
“I wasn’t doing it to spit you Mammon…… Look if this about what happen last week…... I want to~”
“Save it! I don’t need you to say anything. I been kept y/n save for a week without yer help or the others! Now after hearing that I killed Basto’s men now ya realize that I can be responsible of doing things”
“By flying off with y/n and disappearing for a week! That’s not being responsible. That’s being reckless and stupid. The whole reason I kept Basto’s escape a secret from you”
“That’s It!!!”
Mammon drops everything he was holding and pounce on to Lucifer, Levi manages to duck from the side, but Lucifer wasn’t quick enough to dodge. He pined down by Mammon who shrike at his face in anger. Lucifer quickly grab his beak shut it close and using his legs he kicks Mammon off him, still holding his beak Lucifer flip Mammon on his back and quickly got back on his feet and turn to face Mammon who did the same thing.
“WHAT NOW GREED! IF YOU WANT A FIGHT, THEN A FIGHT YOU’LL GET” It wasn’t Lucifer talking at this point. It was his demonic self-took over as he creepily smiles, like he was waiting for this for centuries.
Mammon stands his ground in a defensive position as he let out a powerful shrike. Ready himself for a fight.
“ENOUGH!!!!”
The two snap out of their feral state by Levi’s scream, they turn towards Levi and shock to what they saw.
“Leviathan!?!, put that book down now!!”

So glad you decided to play Undertale! I think it would really suit you so I’m so happy you got into it! Could I have your thoughts about the game? I would LOVE to hear them. I’m ALL for long essays and rants, that’s my jam, but even just a small review from you would make me ecstatic!
Tumblr media
Alright alright alright alright. 
I am ecstatic that someone asked because I have a lot to say AS ALWAYS. 
I’m gonna try to keep this readable, I swear. Will add pictures in between to keep things interesting. 
However, due to the length this will SURELY achieve, AND due to spoilers (and yes, laugh at me all you want, the game has been out for 5 years) I’ll put this under a cut. Read at your own (f)risk.
Metagaming - the game plays YOU
When I first started Undertale, I ‘knew’ these things:
there’s a stabby one with a knife, their name is chara
there’s a flower everyone hates
something something sans something something
and the last, and perhaps most important thing
you can spare your enemies to avoid killing them
The thing is. The THING IS. 
I did not realize how pervasive this strategy was. My thought at first was ‘okay, so I don’t have to kill EVERYONE.’
I had no idea that the reality was that I didn’t have to kill anyone.
I’m sure many others have already said this, but Undertale kind of changes the way you think about other games. It forces to you examine simply fighting your way through the RPG by introducing completely non-murder-y ways to resolve issues. This conversation-based combat style is not the first of its kind, I’m sure, but it’s also incredibly well done. It ties into the story, it ties into your decisions.
It ties into your decisions SO MUCH that it changes everything else in the outcome.
Undertale is a game well known for breaking the 4th wall. However, it does so in a strangely eerie, heart-wrenchingly real way. It teaches us that there are other solutions to conflicts - and it really... it really TEACHES us, you know?
Tumblr media
Which is funny because to be honest, it took me a while to get the lesson.
(You may already be fully aware of this but yes, my first True Neutral Route was extremely organic. I legitimately had no idea that there was even more than one ending. I was just stumbling about er... killing. Out of habit.)
The beauty of this is that the game drives home that point even more effectively because I was fully unaware of my own bias. I had assumed that some enemies would require killing - DESPITE TORIEL SPECIFICALLY TELLING ME TO TALK TO THEM, and the entire Ruins tutorial being about Mercy. I killed the Dummy on accident (granted, it was due to me pressing the key too fast a few times) and didn’t think much of Toriel’s disapproval. I killed a few monsters because I saw my level was low and decided to automatically grind a little bit. 
By the time I got to Toriel, I was still not comfortable with the mechanic. I knew I could Spare her somehow - after all, she was a kind monster, and clearly an important character - but the Spare option didn’t yield promising results the first few times I chose it. I ran out of patience and decided that maybe... maybe it was like pokemon! 
Maybe I had to get her health down to a certain level before she would allow me to pass through.
Funny thing though.... you know what happens if you attack Toriel one too many times? Even if she has most of her health left? 
Yeah uh... it activates that one-hit-KO thing from No Mercy Route.
So of course, what happened? I hit her one too many times... and killed her! And of course, immediately panicked and reset. 
I got back to my previous save, Spared Toriel PROPERLY this time, and walked out of the ruins only to be confronted with my own reliance on the magical ‘redo’ button which was... apparently... not that magical.
Because it WASN’T a clean redo. Flowey apparently remembered. 
Tumblr media
The idea that the game would KNOW about my previous attempts beyond the save file snapped me out of my casual Undertale playthrough. I realized that something was up - this game was not going to be like the others.
I think it was from this point on that I tried to be more careful, but again - I still hadn’t quite gotten the memo about not killing. I took down a few monsters around Snowdin. And when I got to Papyrus, I grew frustrated about not being able to beat him (I ended up losing several times and coming back to try again) and went off to grind SOME MORE because I figured that could raise my HP and increase my chances of holding off long enough to Spare him. 
(The incredible thing about this game is that actually, raising your level gives you only a slight advantage. You can be level 1 and carrying no items, and as long as you’re relatively proficient at dodging the bullet hell style projectiles you will have no issues.) 
Anyway, the point is that I realized I could spare the big monsters and did so readily - but I didn’t bother to spare many of the smaller ones. 
I figured it didn’t matter. 
And then I successfully evaded Undyne, gave her a cup of water, etc... and then went to her house to meet Papyrus, fully expecting her to befriend me anyway. 
And you know what happened?
Tumblr media
“She said she won’t hang out with a murderer.“
I think that probably hit me the hardest at that point in the game. 
I had a bit ‘....oh’ moment at that point because I realized that the game would punish me for killing even the ‘not-important’ civilians of the Underground. It wasn’t about just sparing the ‘boss monsters’. My actions had consequences beyond just the ‘elite’ characters that we all tend to focus on.
Because yes, it made sense. It wasn’t about just Undyne - why WOULD she randomly be my friend after I killed tons of living beings?
From there on, I spared everyone, but didn’t reset. I decided to see how it would unravel.
The thing I want to talk about, which is a little difficult, is that...
It took me that long to learn that kindness was the answer. And that, in itself, ends up being a metaphor. 
It’s difficult to be kind if you have not been show how to be.
It’s difficult to change the way you behave (in a game or out of it) if all you know is using other methods.
It was hard enough to spare Toriel before I realized I had to just be very patient and trust that her attacks wouldn’t hit - though at first I thought she would just kill me! 
It was hard to avoid Papyrus’ attacks and I had to die several times before I successfully got through it. 
It was near impossible to fight Undyne because I legitimately had no idea Fleeing was an option. I struggled for ages at her stage, and I had to ask for help to understand what I could do.
And that’s actually honestly very true to life as well.
Being kind takes risk. Being kind takes effort. And sometimes, being kind means asking others HOW to be kind. 
When you choose to be kind, you risk being hurt, and you risk being trapped (Toriel). When you choose to be kind, you need to expand a lot more energy to succeed (Papyrus). When you choose to be kind, you need to sometimes reach out to others to show you how to properly do it (Undyne).
The rest of the playthrough probably went about as you expect. I completed the game, didn’t kill any Boss Monsters, fought to the end and... got that really unsatisfying Neutral Ending which felt strangely bittersweet. 
And of course, after I was done, I was prompted to go back and do a proper Pacifist Run. Which I did. I learned about the background of Determination, about Chara and Asriel... and about how everything came to be the way it was.
Tumblr media
The thing that gets me the most about this game is how it serves as a direct parallel to how we use videogames. In fact, Undertale is a videogame... about videogames. 
Chara appears to be a direct metaphor for the people that use videogames to escape - to cope with whatever happened to them in The Overworld. Bad family life, or bad relationships or whatever we suffer - escapism through games is not, in itself, a new theme. 
Chara arrived in Undertale by dropping themself down a hole in the mountain, perhaps even seeking to end their life. They dropped into a world which offered them comfort and companionship, a new family and a new life - but in the end, their nature was destructive because their means to finding a solution inadvertently used other people as fodder. Asgore, Asriel - they used everyone else to complete their plans. It wasn’t about forming connections - it was about Completing the Quest. 
I wonder - did Chara even HAVE access to a MERCY option? 
Tumblr media
Was their world one without the option of sparing someone? Did they only have the choice of acting - and was Mercy in the hands of whoever attacked them? I wonder how difficult it might have been for them. I wonder how that, in itself, shaped their perception of the world. 
I wonder if that’s why, during the No Mercy run, people recognize you as Chara? If they come back and attach themselves to your resonating DETERMINATION?
If this is true, was MERCY perhaps created later, brought into existence once Asriel himself made the choice to NOT fight, to turn back and flee, even after being attacked by humans in the Overworld? 
Tumblr media
(It would be a nice parallel to Asgore DESTROYING the Mercy option when you enter the fight with him...)
...
In the end, I think Undertale is about many things, including video games. 
But it’s also hurting - and being hurt. 
It’s about how trauma can shape us, how we deal with feeling grief, and loss, and depression - and not being able to feel anything.
It’s about how we focus on goals and use DETERMINATION to keep going - even when whatever it is that’s driving us no longer has any SOUL. 
It’s about how our action have consequences, but they also carry the weight of a choice, and how powerful those choices are, and how powerless we feel when we aren’t given a choice - not to fight back, nor show mercy. 
I think that’s probably the reason this game resonated with so many people. It really brings something we love about videogames to the forefront - that ability to fight back, to have full and total control of our own lives...
And it also shows us how having that endless loop of repetitive grinding and fighting with zero consequences can lead to an incredible hollowness and make us numb to how we interact with real-life people. 
Anyway. 
Good game.

Aphelion
It is a quiet, lonely ride back to Tatooine. Din Djarin leaves the Child with the Jedi. Spoilers through BoBF 1x06, "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." 1500 words.
-
Din’s boots padded gently against springy grass and fallen bamboo leaves, his steps quick and light. There was work to do, and he’d get it done. He’d tarried too long here already. Better to get going, better to leave without looking back --
He climbed into the ship, breathing fast, hands gripping the controls until they throbbed. He punched in coordinates, the blood rushing in his ears.
To work. To favors owed. To a world of sun and sand, half a galaxy away. It was something to do, wasn’t it?
I’ll see you again. I promise --
The ship roared to life, and he sped away into the blue.
-
The starfighter quivered, braving the wild storms of hyperspace and battalions of droid ships. Din’s grip tightened on the toy as it veered to and fro. “Pshewww,” he sputtered, turning it in a spiral as it dodged a chirping cricket and a huge red mud puddle.
“You’re quite the pilot,” his father said, crouching down beside him. “They’ll never catch you with moves like that.” He chuckled, laying one strong hand on Din’s shoulder.
Din leaned against his father, eager to show off the somersault he’d figured out how to make with the fighter. He demonstrated with a mighty swoop of his arm, but the swoop was too grand, and his sleeve splashed in the mud. “Oops --”
“It’s all right, Din. You’re a growing boy. You’re supposed to get dirty,” his da said wisely.
“What’s it like, Da?” Din asked, twirling the ship between his hands, its shiny metal paint flashing in the evening sun. He turned to look curiously up at his father.
“Space?” Da asked. He pondered the question the way he always did, one calloused finger tapping against his lips and mustache.
Din thought of it as his da’s thinking pose. Din held his own hand up, trying the pose out, and rubbed his finger along the bare skin of his upper lip. He felt his brow furrow. How come I don’t have a mustache too?
Da saw him and grinned, clapping him on the back. “Oh, I don’t know! You know your mama and I have never been offworld, but maybe we’ll see it someday. What do you think it’s like?”
“Lots of stars? And moons? And hyperspace?” Din guessed. The ship arced gracefully over the puddle. “And explosions everywhere! Pshewww!”
Da tousled Din’s hair, and Din giggled, pulling back. “Da! Stop it, I’m not a little kid any—“
-
Din woke with a start, the pilot’s seat pressing against him.
Hyperspace flowed around him, close enough to touch. He reached out a hand.
His fingertips brushed against the cold transparisteel, paused, held. Blue and white light played over his gloves, the dance of stars transformed. Usually he paid it little mind, but there wasn’t much else to do in this small ship besides look out the window.
He was used to distances in the Outer Rim, hyperspace jumps taking no more than a few hours between most of the worlds he frequented. But this journey required several jumps between different hyperspace routes, and a total flight time of close to three standard days, one way. A long time to be alone, even for a loner.
It was a distance that wouldn’t have mattered, that he wouldn’t have minded, if only —
I came all this way.
He blinked heavy eyelids, shrugged stiff shoulders.
Din checked the navicomputer, shaking his head. The sound was swallowed up in the ship noises, and beyond them, the wide field of hyperspace. He sighed, making his calculations.
The first stop was coming up in a few hours. He’d be able to refuel and grab a room for a night cycle, stretch out, use the ‘fresher, grab a bite to eat. Then it would be onto the next leg, another route, another refuel. Then back to Tatooine, Boba Fett and Fennec Shand.
He owed them, even if Fett had declared them square after the assault on Gideon’s cruiser. He’d always owe them.
But after that?
The healing burn on his thigh twinged. He rubbed the aching, itching wound through his newly patched flightsuit, his gauntlet clinking against the Darksaber.
After that was a question he could save for another day.
-
The prefab room at the refueling station was cramped and dingy, but the bed was decent, and the food in the grease-stained bag smelled fantastic. Din triple-checked the locks, then sat down on the bed and carefully pulled his helmet off. He raised a hand and ran it through his hair, letting out a long breath as he stretched his legs out. Ahhh.
He rummaged through the food. It looked like solid diner fare: a steaming hot burger of gurgot meat, a carton of swamp yucca fries, several small tubs of sauces he had no hope of naming. Din tore into the sandwich after slathering it with three of the sauces, not even minding when they dripped all over his flightsuit.
It was probably terrible for him. It was also delicious.
It would have been good for sharing, too.
He finished the meal. It didn’t taste particularly good anymore, settling like a stone in his stomach. He stifled a belch with his fist. He might regret that later.
He cleaned up at the small refresher, scrubbing his face with bare hands, making sure he’d gotten every last crumb out of his mustache. He stretched, grazing the ceiling of the small room with his fingertips. He found a little cake of soap and carefully washed three sauces out of his flightsuit.
He laid himself out on the bed, replacing his helmet despite the locked door. It was far more comfortable than a wooden bench, even one on a safe and beautiful world.
Din closed his eyes. He saw a gentle yellow sun, peaceful blue skies, green bamboo swaying in the breeze; he saw a tree in the distance on a tall hill, a dark figure bent to teach a small one.
He’s right there.
But the distance had proved too vast to cross.
-
He hadn’t slept enough, but it’d have to do; he’d made a promise. He brought the ship up and into the starfield, marveling again at the way she handled. Peli had known what she was on about, he had to give her that.
Din punched in the coordinates for the next leg after sending a brief update to Fett and Shand. Hyperspace opened up before him, streaming in brilliant blue and white.
The stars stretched endlessly around the cockpit. He leaned back, crossing his arms, and glanced backwards at the little open seat behind him.
Peli had pretended she had left the space open because he didn’t like droids. He hadn’t corrected her, despite the fact she’d seen him working with her pit crew quite peaceably. They’d both known what — whom — it was really for.
Are you doing this for Grogu? Or for yourself?
He paused, his breath hitching in his throat.
For him, he thought, but he didn’t trust the answer.
-
Grogu babbled, raising his hands. The Naboo starfighter toy wobbled at first, then swooped giddily back and forth, held aloft by the kid’s powers. He glanced up at Din, giving him a toothy grin.
“You’re a helluva pilot, kid,” said Din, crouching beside him. The breeze was cool on his naked face.
Grogu flung his arms wide, sending the toy whirling in circles through the breeze. He clapped his hands, delighted with himself. Din marveled at him. He’d grown so much, his powers getting stronger all the time.
The kid let out a big, gusty sigh and plopped down on Din’s boot, leaning against his leg and gazing up at him. “Da?” he burbled.
Din laughed. He reached down, brushing away a smudge on Grogu’s cheek with the pad of his thumb. “Yeah, that’s m—“
-
The navicomputer beeped at him, alerting him that the jump was nearly over. Din blinked, reality rushing back.
Hyperspace still flowed above him, around him, beside him. A blue-white eternity, nothing like he had been able to imagine as a boy.
He reached into his belt pouch, pulling out a small silver knob. Arcs of blue and white danced over its curved surface.
The ship decelerated and the stars regained their singularity, bright dots blinking blue and white in a night-black void. The reflections in the silver ball faded. He rolled the ball around in his fingertips, gazing at it until its outline blurred, until the stars swam, until his eyes seared.
I’ll see you again —
He put the ball away.
He knew he should go on. The navicomputer blinked at him, ready for input on the next part of the trip. Tatooine was waiting, allies fighting for something better, decent folk standing up for what was theirs. His promise called him across the many parsecs.
So then why was he still sitting here?
The void pressed in, the darkness close enough to touch. He bowed his head, his breathing rough, unsteady. He lifted off his helmet.
Din gazed outward into the wheeling, wild emptiness. The galaxy spread wide before him, a glittering starfield, studded with glowing nebulae and stark black maws and bright comets streaking.
“How about that view, kid?” he tried to ask. But the muscles in his throat didn’t work right, and the words fell flat and dull and awful into the empty cockpit.
He shoved the helmet back in place. He tapped the navicomputer, and the ship leapt forward, into the dark.

Reid My Lips - Spencer Reid x fem! Reader
Tumblr media
A/N - on the twelth and FINAL day of shipmas fortheloveofcriminalminds gave to me…Spencer x Reader Fluff! Hope you guys enjoyed them, I had a lot of fun writing these! Find my Shipmas masterlist here. Find my full masterlist here.
My taglists are open for Spencer x Reader and all works so let me know if you want to be added. Requests are also open.
Requested: Yes l No l Kind of ?
Idea came from @andiebeaword as I was struggling to come up with something that wasn't either angsty or smutty! - "What about one where they're dating, but haven't kissed yet, and every time reader tries, for some bizarre reason, Spencer keeps dodging them. reader thinks he's trying a subtle way to say he doesn't want to kiss when in reality, he just doesn't want reader to think he's a bad kisser" - Set circa s15, some spoilers for the last 2 episodes.
CW: none that I can think of! Just lusting after Spencer's lips. Some talks of Spencer's insecurites and lack of experience.
Plot: In which all the reader wants in the world is to feel Spencer's lips on hers.
WC: 2.4K
—————————————————————
Spencer Reid’s lips were the kind they would have written poetry about.
They were plump, sinfully so, the first time you’d met him several years ago when you joined the team it was the first thing you’d noticed about him. How it didn’t seem fair for him have had lips such as these bestowed upon him. He had the most kissable lips you’d ever seen in your life.
If you were a writer and not a profiler, you may well have tried to write a poem about them. But alas, a wordsmith you were not. So you had to make do with just staring at them every available opportunity you got.
When he’d finally plucked up the courage to ask you on a date after six years of working together you were thrilled to say the least. Finally, after all that time imaging what those lips would feel like, you might actually get to see for yourself.
For your first date Spencer took for you dinner at a fancy restaurant. Despite the fact you had known each other so long, the date was awkward.
Usually, you never struggled to find things to talk to Spencer about. Most of the time while the rest of the team were sleeping on the jet the two of you stayed up chatting aimlessly between you.
But somehow when the word date was used, it made everything uncomfortable between the two of you.
The night started as a long, drawn out silence but thankfully you both eased into it and by the time your main courses came you were able to chat a little more freely.
You’d had dinner together countless times over the years. But that was just as friends. Not as two people who were clearly attracted to one another even though deep down that’s what you’d always been.
Spencer walked you home after dinner. It was a mild night and you didn’t live too far from the restaurant so you thought the walk would be nice.
The first few blocks you fell back into that uncomfortable silence but thankfully you found your voices again.
Despite everything, you’d had a great time and you’d hoped Spencer had too.
As you stood awkwardly on the sidewalk outside your apartment you were desperate for him to kiss you. He wasn’t quite so shy and dorky as he had been when you first met so you’d thought he might make the first move.
He did not.
“Goodnight Y/N. I’ll see you Monday.” He offered you one of his shy waves.
No, this would not do. You’d been dreaming about those lips too long. It was time to do something about it.
You moved in close, your eyes closing as you neared his lips.
But what met your lips wasn’t his own. You felt prickly skin and your eyes shot open to see her had turned his head and your lips had landed on his stubble grazed face.
“Uhm…” you stepped back feeling incredibly uncomfortable. “Goodnight then I guess.”
You chalked it up to shyness. You guessed thirty plus years of insecurities couldn’t be washed away in a three month prison stint.
***
The next time an opportunity presented itself to steal a kiss from Spencer was a few weeks later.
You were out of town on a case and he’d invited you to his room to watch Doctor Who. You’d thought or maybe hoped it was just an excuse to get you alone in his room. You were surprised to say the least when he actually wanted to watch Doctor Who.
You sat side by side on his bed watching the small hotel TV. You dared to shuffle your hand closer until your fingers brushed and eventually you’d taken the plunge and entwined your fingers.
He didn’t seem to mind, he just gave your hand a firm squeeze as he held it.
About half way through the episode you decided to go for the kiss. You were desperate to feel those lips on yours and you hoped whatever awkwardness he felt on your date had since washed away.
You turned to face him, momentarily breathless at how beautiful he was.
“Spence,” you whispered prompting him to turn and face you.
He had a dopey half smile on those lips as he looked at you. You moved quickly, closing the space ready to feel those lips.
But once again you were met with his stubbly cheek.
You tried to tell yourself he was shy. That’s all it was. It’s not that he didn’t want to kiss you. It couldn’t be, right?
***
You’d started to think maybe Spencer had changed his mind about the two of you dating. It had been several weeks since your first date and although you’d been busy with back to back cases there had been time if he’d really wanted to take you out again.
It was nearly a month after your first date he finally asked you on a second. You’d jumped at the opportunity.
Spencer took you to the Smithsonian, you’d walked around hand in hand with Spencer telling you all kinds of facts and statistics the institution didn’t share.
You hung off his every word, mesmerised by the way his lips moved as he talked and wanting to feel them on yours with a white hot passion.
He took you for coffee after and you fell into comfortable conversation. But you couldn’t keep your eyes off those goddamn lips of his.
As you stepped out of the coffee shop hand in hand you made a quick move to place a chaste kiss on his lips as he was in the middle of telling you a story about his mom. You thought if you were fast enough he wouldn’t even see it coming and you could just get this awkward air out of the way.
You leant in fast, and as your lips were about to collide Spencer side stepped, turning to face the window of the coffee shop.
You stumbled, correcting yourself before you fell face first on the sidewalk.
“I didn’t know they had donuts! Now I want a donut.” He chuckled and suddenly he was heading back inside.
“Goddamnit Spencer.” You groaned under your breath.
By now you were starting to think he just didn’t like you. Why else would he keep dodging your attempts at kissing him?
You felt downtrodden. You felt insecure. Why on Earth had he asked you out if he didn’t want to kiss you?
***
Six dates in and all you’d done still was hold hands. You really didn’t get him. He kept asking you out but never seemed interested in doing anything other than hand holding.
You liked Spencer, a lot, but you were not willing to be in a relationship where there was no kind of intimacy.
But that was all pushed to the back of your mind when you and JJ found Spencer passed out in his apartment.
He’d been involved in an explosion thanks to the psychopath Everett Lynch. He was late for work the following day which was really unlike Spencer so you and JJ went to check on him. That’s when you’d found him.
While the rest of the team worked on finding Lynch, you stayed vigil at his bedside.
When he’d finally woken up tears streamed down your face and you’d be up like a shot.
“Oh my god Spence,” you sobbed. “I thought I was going to lose you.” You leant in to kiss his chapped lips.
He rolled his head to the side on the pillow, once again your lips meeting stubbly skin.
“I’m really thirsty.” He croaked, seemingly ignoring your actions.
You swallowed your pride with a sigh.
“I’ll get you some water Spence.” And with your tail between your legs you left the room in search of hydration.
***
After that you’d decided no more. You were fed up feeling a fool every time you tried to make a move on him only to be shot down.
So you decided you wouldn’t bother anymore.
Since he left hospital the two of you still hung out but it was less frequent as usual and the word date was never used again.
One night, it came to a head.
You were in Spencer’s apartment watching some foreign film which you were struggling to comprehend despite the subtitles.
Your mind was whirring, lost down a rabbit hole of thoughts of you and Spencer. You were so preoccupied in your own head you didn’t even notice when Spencer scooted closer to you or put his arm around your shoulders.
“Y/N?” He whispered your name, snapping you out of the abyss.
“Hmm?” You turned to face him.
His tongue glided over his bottom lip and his eyes were trained on your lips.
The next few seconds happened in slow motion. Spencer started edging closer to you, his eyes fluttering closed and his lips pursed.
And you turned your head to face the TV, allowing his lips to hit your cheek the way yours had to him so many times.
He made a strange noise that sounded halfway between a sigh and a groan. You tried to pretend you were focused on the TV. You felt his eyes on the side of your face and you tried to ignore it.
After a few minutes Spencer paused the film, the room falling silent. You swallowed a lump in your throat and slowly turned to face him.
“Why’d you stop the film?” you hoped your voice didn’t sound as shaky as you thought it did.
“I think we need to talk.” Spencer chewed his lip. “I think I need to explain why I’ve been so...weird.”
“Spencer, trust me when I say you being weird is not an unusual thing.” you tried to lighten the mood.
“Weirder than usual then.” he was fidgeting in his seat, wringing his hands together in his lap.
“I hadn’t noticed.” you lied.
“Yes you have.” he told you.
“Look Spence,” you sighed. “If you don’t want to kiss me I get it. But why would you ask me out if that’s not what you wanted?” the words spilled out of your mouth.
He nodded his understanding at your words, running one hand through his messy locks.
“I do want to kiss you Y/N.” his cheeks stained red with embarrassment. “I’ve always wanted to kiss you, since the first time I met you. Jeez, kissing is just the tip of the iceberg of things I want to do with you.” his blush deepened.
Your chest tightened at his words, a twinge passing between your legs.
“You uhm...you have a funny way of showing it.” your voice was breathy. You didn’t mean it to be.
“I know.” he nodded, gnawing his bottom lip. “I freaked myself out. I got in my head and I panicked and I didn’t know how to deal with that. So I dealt with it really, really badly and I’m sorry.”
“What were you freaking out about Spence?”
He sighed heavily, the blush still straining his cheeks.
“It took me six years to finally work up the courage to ask you out.” he laughed shyly. “But when I finally did, I was terrified I wouldn’t be good enough.”
Your face dropped, sadness in your eyes.
“Spencer,” you reached for him and took hold of his hand. It was sweating and shaking.
He shook his head sadly, telling you not to try and convince him otherwise.
“Y/N, I am not...not so great with women in case you’d never picked up on that.” he chuckled again, but again it was a shy sound. “I don’t ha-have...so much ex-experience.” he swallowed hard. “There have only been...a few...women. Not enough to make me an...ex-expert in any sense.” he swallowed again. “I just wanted to be...good...for you.”
“Oh Spencer,” you felt tears in your eyes. You had no idea he’d been going through this mental turmoil. “Spencer I don’t care. I’ve wanted you for six years. Trust me, there is no way in hell you will not be good enough. I am crazy about you Spence, and all I want in the whole right now is to kiss you. I have waited too long to know what those lips would-”
He cut you off when his lips suddenly crashed against yours.
You let out a small whimper as those plump lips of his finally kissed you. They felt better than your wildest imagination.
The whimper allowed Spencer to slide his tongue in your mouth. He held your face in his large hands, exploring your mouth with fervor.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you.
It was without a doubt the single most magical experience of your life. Nothing could have prepared you for how good his kiss would be.
It sent goosebumps flaring across your skin, making your chest tighten with lust.
It made you wet between your legs.
Maybe you should take a writing class because these lips, this kiss, definitely deserved poems written about them.
Your whole body felt as though it were on fire, every nerve ending in your body tingling with desire.
When the kiss ended you both gasped for air, trying to satiate your now empty lungs.
Spencer’s cheeks stained red again as he waited for your reaction shyly.
“I hope that was o-ok.” He stuttered a little.
You couldn’t help the large smile that broke out across your face.
“Spencer Reid, that was more than ok. It was perfect.”
His blush deepened and he looked away from you briefly before finding your eyes once more.
“Good.” He swallowed. “Because there’s a lot more I want to do with you Y/N.”
His words made you shudder.
“Now?” You swallowed, feeling oddly nervous.
“Right now.” He nodded before taking your face in his hands and kissing you again.
He was going to show exactly what his lips could do. And those poems practically wrote themselves between the sheets.

Hey! Can you do a scenario for AOT with Mikasa, Sasha, and Annie’s S/O gets seriously injured during a fight with some titans? Whether the reader survives or not can be up to you. I love how you write for the AOT characters haha
“Battles,” Mikasa x Sasha x Annie Headcanons
Tumblr media
Couldnt find a gif with all 3 of them. SAD
Summary: Being with one of the girls and you get injured in battle
Warnings: none, no spoilers
Also pls don’t comment any spoilers and be considerate of others thank you <3
.
.
.
Mikasa:
You weren’t supposed to be on this expedition but Mikasa had convinced the Captain to let you tag along, knowing how much of use you would be which was true.
You were pretty good at your job and you were well known for your skills so it wasn’t a hard decision for Levi to accept the offer of you being on his team and coming along with them.
But you were way over your head. You were thinking the capture of Bertholdt and Reiner would be simple, easy, won’t have to do much but you were far from right.
As the both of them transformed into their Titan forms, you had tried your best to take Reiner down- going to far lengths and risking your life completely. He needed to be down, no matter the cost and you knew what you needed to do.
As you swung and flipped in the air, shooting the gear to shoot into the wall, helping you fly up higher up to the back of Reiner’s neck, trying to be quick to swipe your sword through his thick skin but he had seen you from a mile away.
He moved his hand up, swinging it across the air and knocking you back quite hard, making it difficult to move and dodge the attack. You were thrown across the sky, your gear crushed and too jammed to shoot a hook up and the impact of his armor had almost instantly knocked you unconscious.
Mikasa had seen everything unfold before her very eyes, panic running through her veins as she tried to fly towards you and was trying to be fast enough to catch you midair but you were flying at high speed.
You finally landed on the hard ground, sliding against the cement and the impact of your head hitting the ground had killed you in seconds. There was no way for you to survive the landing, it was too hard, too fast. You were like a bug smashing on the ground.
She didn’t want to believe that the impact had killed you, she knew how strong you were, you could survive, you could make it out of this with some broken bones.
As her feet landed on the ground, the sight of your body on the ground, frozen still. She kneeled down beside you, wanting to hold back her emotions, she hated to show her true feelings but seeing someone she considered her soul mate laying before her dead, her tears were threatening to fall from her eyes.
“Y/N,” She whispered more to herself, her hands reaching down to pick you up and hold you in her arms, sighing to herself.
The guilt and blame had washed over her quickly. It was her fault you were out here risking your life, she shouldn’t have pressured you to come but she had confidence that you would be the one to end this fight once and for all.
A few tears had slipped down her cheeks, shaking her head as the anger boiled inside of her. She was going to make him pay for this, she was going to kill him with her bare hands no matter what.
She didn’t know what to do, she didn’t want to leave your dead body here and she didn’t want to leave you behind but what more could she do? Carry you around while everyone is fighting for their lives? She grunted, walking inside one of the broken down house and laid you on the floor.
She had taken her jacket off, looking down at you one last time, not knowing if she’ll be able to come back and collect your body for a proper burial. Her heart was broken, it pained her to see you like this but she needed to keep herself together- for the others.
“I’ll be back for you, I promise.” She mumbled, laying her jacket over your face after she had planted a single kiss to your forehead before returning back to the fight.

Sasha:
The scouts were doing a short expedition that shouldn’t be of much trouble, it was just to explore boundaries and figure out future plans that needed to be set.
But randomly a crowd of titans had showed up unexpectedly. You were told that not many would be out and this would be an easy mission to get through before going home but you knew by the large crowd, you weren’t going home anytime soon.
You glanced over at Sasha, a look of panic written on her face and as you both stood high up on the tree, you reached over to grab a hold of her hand to reassure her that everything would be alright.
“Don’t panic, I’m sure this would be a breeze.” You said confidently and she gave you a weak smile, squeezing onto your hand.
“Just don’t die on me.” She said sarcastically, moving her feet to stand closer to you as the both of you looked down at the Titans that were only getting closer.
“Same goes for you.” She laughed at your words, feeling much better about the situation and before she leaped off the tree, she had given you one last smile and blew you a kiss.
You had watched her swing along the trees, you were in complete awe with how talented she actually is with the gear and being able to take down some Titans no problem.
But once you heard the others swing down, you had snapped back into reality and jumped off the tree branch, feeling the wind gush up against your face before you had shot the wire into the tree and swung up in the air.
It wasn’t hard to take down most of them but once you heard there were more problems deep inside of the woods, something the scouts weren’t aware of except for Levi’s team and Eren himself.
You had taken it in your own hands and risked going deeper to be of some help since the Titans were under control near the edge of the woods. But once you made it towards the middle, you instantly regretted your decision as your eyes stared up at the female titan.
“Y/N, you need to go back!” You heard Eren shout towards you as all of Levi’s team laid out around you dead.
Everything was spinning, you head was spinning and you felt lightheaded but the look of determination on the female Titans face as she stared down at Eren, it clicked in your mind that he was first priority. Levi would want you to protect him.
“Eren just ride to the others, I’ll distract her.”
“But you’ll die just like them!”
“As long as you have time to run away, I’m fine with that just go.” You looked at him, nodding your head and watched him ride away through the woods.
Before she could try to run after him, you flew up and sliced through the skin on her ankles which somewhat prevented her from running right away. You just needed to give Eren a few minutes, that’s it. Nothing else mattered but his safety.
It wasn’t long till Levi had swung in and tried to help you and at first it was working until one wrong turn and the female titan had grabbed onto the wire that was attached to your gear.
She had spun around, dragging you by the wire and let go to watch you fly pass the trees and eventually hitting one pretty hard. Instantly you can feel a few of your bones break at the impact, making you fall to the ground in pain.
She didn’t even bother trying to finish you off, her mind was set on Eren and she quickly ran away. Levi landed in front of you, looking down at you state and cursed under his breath, he could tell you weren’t going to be able to stand on your own.
“Just go, I’ll be fine.” You groaned, wiping the blood from your mouth and his eyes had stared into yours, deciding whether or not he should actually leave you here and he did after saying he’ll have someone come back for you.
But while you sat up against the tree, having a hard time breathing properly, you could hear a familiar voice yelling in the distance calling for you. You had tried to move but everything hurt too much, making you sit still.
You finally saw Sasha come in view, her eyes landed on you and they grew wide as she quickly jumped off her horse and ran to where you were. She started to panic at the way you were covered in blood and she could tell a few bones were noticeably broken.
“Are you okay? Can you stand?” She asked, looking down at your legs and reached down to try to grab a hold of you.
“Sasha..” You barely said loud enough at first but she continued to try to lift you up and hold your body up.
“Sasha just leave me here, I’ll only slow you down.” You spoke louder, the pain unbearable and you could feel it take over your entire body.
“What? No!” She yelled at you, practically carrying you to her horse and tried her best to put you on top of it, almost failing but she managed to do it.
“Don’t ever tell me to leave you, are you crazy?” She scoffed, jumping on behind you and made sure you were leaned back comfortably against her chest as she rode through the woods.
Your eyes moved to look up at her, a small weak smile coming across your lips as you tried to wipe the blood leaking down your face as it tickled your skin. You couldn’t help the pain shoot through your body but you were also glad you were alive to be with Sasha just a bit longer.
“I love you.” You mumbled up to her, making her eyes shoot down to meet yours and she couldn’t help but laugh quietly, her heart racing.
She was grateful she even made it in time and that you were still breathing, she wouldn’t know how to live if she came a little too late.

Annie:
(this one is gonna hurt a lil)
When Annie had started her mission to bring information back to Marley, she didn’t expect herself to fall for one of the Scouts that she went through the training corps with.
She always tried to stay away, keep her distance and do what she needed to do but you were always persistent and always got on her nerves which you enjoyed doing.
After a while, you grew on her more and more and eventually it turned into a little fling. She didn’t want to admit that she considered you two a couple and she also didn’t want to go too deep about feelings or go forward with asking you out.
So instead it was an unsaid thing between you two.
After a while, Reiner had caught on to the fling she had with you and he could see how much it distracted her from her mission and the reason why she was here.
He had tried to slap some sense into her and even threatened her on many occasions, nothing ever worked but nothing can scare Annie so easily. But she knew if Reiner had even tried to lay a finger on you, he was dead.
But during one of the expeditions you were called on after the Armor titan had kicked another hole into the second wall, you were there to try to save as many civilians as possible but Reiner had another plan in mind.
He had somehow gotten you alone during the mission, asking for some help but he was lying, his plan to get you killed by a titan was on the top of his head, he needed to do it for Annie’s sake.
“I heard there’s more civilians over here, needed some help to collect them.” Reiner said to you, making you nod your head and follow him.
Until he purposely jammed up your gear, forcing you to stumble down on the ground at the perfect place and time- a titan stumbling along towards the both of you.
“Reiner, what the fuck?” You shouted up at him, your eyebrows furrowing together and you slid your blade back out.
“No hard feelings.” He said, staring down at you from the rooftop.
He had watched the titan stumble closer to you and it didn’t take long for it to eventually catch up to you and without your gear, it was no use, you were dead.
The titan had easily bitten down onto your leg, ripping it clean off and doing the same with your arm, making you practically bleed to death as you screamed with agony, the last thoughts in your head was of Annie.
She had swung through the air, looking around for you when she hasn’t seen you in a long period of time which was unusual, your team was stationed not too far from hers- she would’ve seen you by now.
She had an awful feeling in the back of her head, like something bad was gonna happen. And she believed it when she had seen Reiner with you.
“What’s going on here?” She said, walking up behind the both of you but you were laid out on the ground.
Her eyes had went wide, seeing your body on the ground- half eaten.
“I tried to save them but I was too late.” Reiner lied through his teeth as her body shook with anger, she didn’t believe one word from his mouth.
“You did this, didn’t you? You forced a titan to capture Y/N.” She mumbled, her skin growing hot as her hand gripped the sword and she glared up at him.
“Maybe they’re just not that good as they seem.”
Annie swung her fist, punching him straight in the jaw and watched him stumble back on the roof, almost falling over and Bertholdt had landed behind them, stepping in the middle.
“Hey, stop it!” He yelled, making her eyes glare at him as well before her full attention landed on you.
She sighed under her breath, she should’ve known this would happen. She wasn’t meant to be tied down because every time it happened, it ended badly. Maybe she was bad luck.
She kneeled down to pick up your body, wanting to scream, maybe even transform and kill the both of them for doing this to you. Most of all, she wanted to cry and she was never good at expressing emotions. She never cried, never smiled but when she was around you- it was different- she felt every emotion.
“I’m so sorry.” Annie mumbled, her eyes staring down at you and her heart felt empty again.
It was empty before you then you filled it up with such love and happiness and now she was back to being empty, back to feeling alone and angry. She wished she didn’t put you through this, such pain and suffering just by being with her. She felt guilt and she just wished she could have saved you and protected you.
“I’m sorry.”

hellooo can i request a drabble of uni!au art major tae and biochem major yn? also part one of the would you series is AMAZINGGG seriously i cant wait to read more!! <3
rich kid kim
Tumblr media
pairing: taehyung x y/n
wordcount: 5k
glimpse: tae’s cold and probably needs a friend more than he needs a model, y/n feels this nEED to take care of him, a term of enderment then a dash of emotional constipation and a sprinkle of jealousy :D
notes: thank you for the request babes!! writing this made my heart melt and aND!!! thank you omg i’m glad you like would you :((
if you squint or if you’ve read insufferable, this is most probably taehyung and his y/n!!!
taehyung is personally more than willing to pay himself out of this project
oKAY LISTEN
he’s not the proudest knowing that he comes from a rich family and he’s the only kid and he’s never really struggled for much
everything was just given to him without any hesitations whatsoever
and yeah he admits that he can nEVER admit that his pampered and luxurious lifestyle since birth has shaped him to be this way and it’s hard to unlearn these types of things
things were too easy for him and thAt’s what made it hard
tae is the farthest thing from an outcast..,.,.,.,
.,.,. but that’s him in his usual rich boi bubble of elites wherever he goes because he’s surrounded by people like him
hoseok and jimin have got to be his closest friends but of course they pursued business degrees and everyone must’ve probably saw that coming
nobody, however, expected the kim taehyung to pursue a degree based rootly on passion and even major in it
yeah that’s right what are yOU looking at???
he’s an art student and yeah he’s taking this seriously ://
do yOU have a problem with that?? do you?? no what did you say?? step the fuck up ky-
spoiler alert: people do have a problem with that
taehyung could tell that his parents did a complete 180 when they learned through jimin’s noisy-ass mouth (not even through their own son) that he’s gonna be getting an art degree
his dad’s the one who’s most especially disappointed at him because well he’s the only child and uhhhh.,.,.,, so who’s gonna inherit the company now.,.,,,
tae normally feels selfish and this time, he felt like he was being rational rather than being selfish!! this is what he passionately wants!! pls god can i be selfish oNE more time
eventually his parents had no choice because as their son explained,, having an art degree won’t keep him away from the family business at all and he could even expand it!! he doesn’t need a degree!!! 
lmao he’s been putting the money he gets on the stock market ever since he was ten years old
and they had to accept it eventually because this is what HE wants and if this is the only thing that he wants... then might as well help him through it, right??
now this is another dilemma
taehyung’s applied at a regular university in which everyone’s blended together and no one really cares about who’s who
it’s not exclusive to people like him.
he submitted his requirements and his portfolios by himself!!
and he got accepted!!
he’s nOT SURE if it’s purely because of his skills and himself and not his parents’ money nor influence
whatever it is, he doesn’t want to know because if it ends up being the answer he doesn’t want?? lol he’d crawl into a hole and mope for a week and would be doomed to wear three-piece suits for the rest of his life 
so anyways
yeah..,, this is one of the handful of times that taehyung is completely willing to pay himself out 
this project was supposed to be easy enough as what the professor said but uH he’d like to passive-aggressively decline pls and thank you
their final project was to make a portrait
right?? easy!!
a portrait of sOMEONE IN CAMPUS,,, regardless if you know them or not
(( well of course you’d get to know them by the end because yea they’re required to show proof that they indeed met and the model did agree to be painted ))
and by the end of the project, it’s either they keep it to themselves or give it to the model!!
that should be easy, right??
...
....
...... pls say right
oh my god tae should probably drop out now so he doesn’t get to do this
rich people don’t necessarily have to be educated, right???? maybe he’ll just settle into being a himbo 
he learned about the meaning of the word through urban dictionary that he tHEN only learned about like six months ago and now he gets so many things
taehyung’s not intimidated by the workload of it all -- in fact, he’s even excited about it because it helps him relax!!
what he’s intimidated about is the fact that he’s kim taehyung and there are only two possible options
either his model would be someone who knows him and would be taking every possible step to ensure that they climb the social ladder through him and they’re not even gonna be dISCREET about it
OR
his model wouldn’t completely care about who he is and in the process belittles him upfront and tbh his hart wouldn’t be able to take that and he’s probably wipe his tears away with dollar bills
there is almost no in-between, that one he’s sure of
so why are you like this?
why are you neither of the two and why are you sO kind and go against his expectations????
do you have an ulterior motive or something????
you who’s a biochem major and is actually another building away from his own
you who’s made the initiative that you become hIS model
you who actually oFFERED and almost begged to be a part of a project that would only be for tae’s benefit
... aha
that’s about -5 points from being a cool laid-back nonchalant gal
+10 for looking like someone who’s had a massively obsessive crush on him since day one and looking like you’d lay his life for him
no but lmao actually you just learned about taehyung in a magazine
you were bored at the dentist’s and scrolled through every possible outlet in your phone and it didn’t satiate you anymore!!! so how about reading a good ol’ magazine :D
then came taehyung
it was a whole issue dedicated to him and you were probably too dedicated into reading it that this time it was you telling the dentist to wait lol
that’s as far as you knew about him
and then you learned just some weeks ago that taehyung happens to study where you also study at and that was.,., inch resting
you never really saw him before around campus because it was too big and well maybe if you put in the effort, you’d actually find him
maybe you had a tiny lil admiration for kim taehyung just from one whole issue alone you read at the dentist’s or whatever
you’ve only known about this final project situation through changbin!!!
changbin, your neighbor at the apartment next to you, who’d crash over whenever his wifi feels the tiniest bit slow
yes you did spend a little more money to upgrade your internet situation (most times it’s the router who makes all the difference) because you were so tIRED of having things slow in the middle of researching for your projects in biochem)
no you will nOT have that <3
and of course changbin’s not having your that shitty wifi either so he pushed you to get that in the first place so he can use it too lmao
he’s told you just a couple of days ago about his final project and that maybe, just maybe, he’d make it into a move for this girl that he likes
nothing’s more romantic than pleading for someone to paint ur face right
and your grade and the decision to whether you’re gonna pass or flunk and graduate or retake are relying on you mostly
and in changbin’s case it’s also hIS heart on the line so yeah no pressure at all luv
“i kinda feel bad for rich kid kim, y’know?”
“what about taehyung???”
“eW do you have a crush on him??”
“addressing someone by their name equals to a crush??????”
your banters never stop because you’re as quick-witted as him and he both loves and hates it
he loves that omg someone can keep up with him and that way he gets challenged to always have the last say!!
he hates that oh god why is he friends with someone who reminds him of himself so much how is hE gonna deal with that??
sometimes he’ll purposely argue with you to fEEL something lmao
but there’s just something here that tells him you’re a little more interested now in this flow of conversation ever since rich kid kim was mentioned
“hm, nothing. i’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a model yet.”
he dodges you in the kitchen to look for peanut butter in your cupboard and oddly... you’re not berating him for decreasing your groceries....?
what does changbin mean by that? whAt model?? model as in taehyung doesn’t have the newest model of whatever car he wants? or maybe he has a model girlfriend and-
hold on wait wHAT
taehyung has a-
“m-model?”
he looks at you weirdly but you don’t even bat an eye when he gets ahold of your marshmallow spread so that he could make another one of his s’mores sandwiches
“uhhhh model as in he doesn’t have someone to paint for our project??”
is that what you wanted to hear or,.,
you and changbin share one (1) brain cell and it SHOWS
the two of you have to open your mouths, then close, then ponder, and then do that aGAIN until the both of you could finally grasp if you were in the same page
“oh cool!! i’ll be his model then!”
“yeah but did he ask”
“it’s gonna be easy!! i’ll just tag along with you to your building”
“yeah but did he aSK”
“we’re probably gonna hit it off instantly and then you’ll have to leech off from someone else for their wifi and food and every other necessity that you already have-”
“yeah but dID HE ASK????”
long-story short: no. taehyung most certainly did not ask you to be his model.
but here you are
saying that you came a long way is a bit of a stretch because taehyung mostly turns his head the other way around when you call out to him in public
progress is still progress :D
you’re eating lunch with him at the same table and this time you’re sat beside him!! when normally he’d just walk home to his apartment (lol that’s not allowed but you won’t be surprised to know that he has a free pass) and eat!!!
before that, taehyung would gLARE at you until you stop asking to sit with him in his table
yea he gets a bit lonely at time because jimin and hobi aren’t with him and hE’S the outcast but he won’t do anything about it,, just scroll through his phone while he eats and tune everyone out
you figured that maybe it’s changbin always linked with you in lunch because your schedules just matched up thAt perfectly like it does with tae’s
hee-hee so you might have elbowed him until he begrudgingly agreed to be tolerable, keep atleast four feet of distance from you, and not call tae rich kid kim
spoiler alert: taehyung doesn’t really care about whatever you do because doing those changes with changbin did nOT work at all
however
H O W E V E R
taehyung doesn’t know at all how you’ve wormed your way into his heart!!
what seem to be cold to you is his warmest he’s ever been in such a new environment and outside of his usual comfort bubbles!!!
it’s like you occasionally stealing the food from his plate when you have the same thing is the equivalent of h*lding h*nds with him
you putting your leg over his before he pushes it after five seconds mUST be the equivalent to marriage
wait he’s lying
taehyung does know how you’ve wormed your way to his heart
“hi! i’m y/n! :D”
ok u are a little bit sweaty and out of breath from doing all that fast-paced walking for the past ten minutes
your new shoes that you still need to break into further aren’t helping your situation in the slightest bit
honestly? this is all changbin’s fault <3
he unknowingly gave you the sign that you were looking for
if he says yeah five times with five minutes?? okay yeah you’re definitely looking for kim taehyung and offering yourself to become his model
you don’t wanna sound weird but you feel sorry for him and you wanna help him :((
he’s not helping you tho because he has long legs underneath those trousers and it looked like he wouldn’t budge at all not unless you jogged and stopped right in front of him
“hi! i’m y/n!! :D”
“...”
“.....”
tae’s a bit... perplexed
because who’s THIS entity and why are you standing in front of him
...
....
“bye y/n.”
:]
he wants to exit from this situation because oh my god??
why r u like this
he didn’t ASK for your name!!
and he doesn’t even know you and giving him your name honestly won’t do anything and he doesn’t get what’s your motive and-
“oh c’mon!! you didn’t even shake my hand :((”
he feels even more lost as he tries to wrap his head around that uh.....
you uh.... you wanted a handshake??
.....
tae doesn’t even hide his annoyance because it’s clear as day!!!
he’s blatantly tilting his head at you rudely with a blank stare omg take the hint pLEASE
realizing it now you mAY have came on too strong to taehyung that looks confused as ever
“hi, i’m y/n.”
changbin’s by one of the lockers taking pics of you beaming at taehyung and him scowling down to show you later how dumb you look and how you shouldn’t do this at all
okay LISTEN
his personality trait is to immediately assume the worst out of every scenario possible and that way when something slightly less worse happens? that’s a win babie ;D
he became ur friend in the first place because you heard him yelling since he’s at the door right next to yours and you could hEAR him throwing things around as he cusses his laptop
yeah he cusses his laptop what about it??
if you close your eyes hard enough, you could hear him throw his router against the wall (you later learned that he was so close to finishing his digitalization but then his laptop decided to die) before punching the air
(( the friendship started when you knocked vERY gently and offered him to borrow your laptop even if you aren’t done with all your homework ))
((( changbin thought at first that u were such an organized and too-friendly social butterfly who’s a kiss-ass to everyone but now he thinks ur the coolest person ever and he treasures you more than life itself )))
although, taehyung’s a lot more vicious and closed-off and critical than changbin
he narrows his gaze at you as you introduce yourself for the second time before merely clicking his tongue
“ok cool”
is that uhm
is that IT good sir
“you’re not,” you’re dancing around your words and being careful to not let a pout grace your lips at the sheer lack of enthusiasm, “gonna introduce yourself to me??”
you got a reaction alright
taehyung sCOFFS and that’s the loudest he’s ever been with you in the span of two minutes
“you followed me for ten minutes just to tell me your name. kinda seems like you already know mine if you do that, no?”
this is why you took up biochem instead of law
how do the lawyers not break down???
why does phoenix wright make it seem SO easy?? especially when he’s spoken to in a confrontal tone???
oh god taehyung broke you already
not to be rude but uh what do you wANT
can you get it over already??
“o-oh! uhm i was wondering if i could uHm,” you sound ridiculous now that you think about it and this is perhaps one of the only times you feel embarrassed, “volunteer to be your model for your project?”
hmm
was that a wrong answer,,,
sHOULD YOU HAVE SAID THAT??
“are you in my class?”
taehyung asks and he’s finally said a sentence to you!!! omg
you’re quite shocked so he had to click his tongue to get you to answer 
“no, actually!! i’m a biochem major and-...”
that’s all it takes before he hums and nods his head
and for some reason taehyung looks at you like you’re pREY
“are you a stalker?”
okay wait holy fuck wHAT
you know what
you took a sip from changbin’s coffee half an hour ago but why are you only choking on it nOW
you’re positively sputtering and now ur pressured bc tae thinks you’re a stalker!!! a damn stalker!!
“looked at you long enough. i don’t need a sketch artist and i could just-”
no no no pls no
this meeting is going downhill very quickly 
“oh my god taehyung i’m nOT a stalker okay!!!”
that shuts him up because your voice is so firm and okAY then how do u explain this stalker smh ://
throughout the whole time you’re talking about changbin being an art major and also your neighbor and everything in between, tae has such a neutral expression that you feel so intimidated
“-and that’s what!! i’m not taking advantage of you or anything, if that’s what you’re thinking i guess? i swear!!”
he listened and well if he’s being honest,,, okay yea you did make sense and he does know changbin
“okay then. i’ll think about it.”
“are you gonna give me your number???”
it’s either you’re so forward or he’s just not used to being caught off-guard
WHICH FUCKING ONE
“what for?”
it’s been so long ever since someone asked taehyung for his number
usually in galas and any other socialite gatherings you could think of, everyone’s number would just be in your phone automatically and you won’t even rEMEMBER how it got there in the first place
better yet, it’s been so long since he went back to his usual routine lifestyle of being himself 
his last gala was two weeks ago and tae had to keep looking at his phone to study pdfs and whatever clear pictures he can get of his reviewers back at home because he had a test tomorrow morning
“so you could text me where we’re gonna meet so you could paint me, silly!!”
:D
okay wOAH there
“i didn’t even say that you’d be my model????”
“lol but you were thinking it huh”
that’s it
taehyung has nO choice but to paint you if he wants to finish this project and graduate and have something of a thicker paper to flaunt
it came as a shock to him that hE took your offer and he could only imagine its effect on you
not to brag but tae didn’t even have to sweat for a little because it’s yOU who came to him with this offer!! not him!!
tae lives in the classiest apartment here in uni and everyone probably knows that
much to his insistence that he doesn’t want anyone from uni going outside his apartment, he had to take an L and invite you over
he wouldn’t risk doing his work in any place else because he doesn’t want anyone thinking and getting the wrong idea!!
speaking of, he’s regretting it now because you seem to be too happy being in his space
you’re pointing around and being awed at every possible thing!!! 
what??? is this ur first time seeing a rattan hanging chair :// or a massive couch?? or a canvas painting of something so beautiful?? all of that in what’s supposed to be a student’s one apartment??? christ y/n get yourself together
“so what do you want me to do?? where do i sit oR do i stand instead?? i’m gonna need you to know that-...”
“nothing.” taehyung deadpans before he gets his camera so he could get digital shots as well if ever he needs an extra touch when it comes to his final product
the gears in your head are going bRRR and you’re gonna have to ask him to elaborate but taehyung already sets the pace
“nothing. just be your rEALLY annoying self and pretend i’m not here.”
normally you don’t take his words to heart but this one just hits a little close to home bc it’s early in the morning and taehyung already finds you intolerable
“by pretend, do you mean-...”
“up to you. are you more annoying around me or no?”
how did he read your MIND
tae got the thoughts in your head word per word and you’re so amazed at that because fUcK you originally thought that he’s good at bluffing his way up
click!
it’s you smiling at him
no you’re beaming at him
and you’re in front of his morning-lit curtains and you’re against the light
the portrait itself is already visually appealing and satisfying and man the shadows!!! the value!!!! they’re so raw and dreamy and this is exactly his style!!!
it was just a one-take wonder as soon as he took a picture of you!!! and he may have you to hold that position if he needs the push!! he just needs to translate it to canvas with his own language and emotions and then he’s dONE!!
you’re a pain in the ass
you laugh and you move too much
taehyung had you to to revisit that pose and hold it and you wouldn’t stop giggling bc you were too proud that you did THAT!
you also ask too many things that even hE doesn’t have the answers to
how is he supposed to know if red string lovers exist when you went into a spiel just because you saw a red tube of paint???? and why is he saying his opinions on such trivial things when he has his final project to take care of???
and how is he supposed to know why YOU’RE here hanging out with him instead of finishing your own final project
jk maybe it’s the L word but you’re gonna subdue that as much as possible since taehyung looks like he’d leave you by yourself with any chance that he gets
and you even call him terms of endearment!!! nicknames!! pet names!! names that you’d call someone who’s familiar to you and you probably l*ve!!!
angel
that’s what you call him :))
“why do you call me that?”
“because you look like one”
“and how would yOU know what angels look like??”
“because if they were to exist then you’d probably look like one!!”
“but-”
“ok that’s one minute no more questions taehyung <3″
tae just provides you with all the conviction you need to take care of him without even knowing
not in a maternal type of instinct type of way, but rather in a sPECIAL someone type of way
you find yourself caring for him mOre than you ever could for any regular friend you have!!
you just throw a whole loaf of bread to changbin and call it a day
but for tae??? you go above and beyond!!
“did it ever hit you that rich kid kim never really introduced himself to you?”
oh right....
changbin points out one day and you could see where he was getting at
for some reason he always knew what was in your mind at any given time and sometimes it’s to your disadvantage
you seem to be growing on taehyung though!!
he tolerates you better now!!
sometimes he’ll find you loveable even
he likes having someone around and you’re the perfect contender
if he decides to not talk too much, then you fill up the white noise!!
if he wants you to shut up?? then yOU shut up but of course not without babbling for a little
he’s opened up but with some reservations
some reservations that you don’t mind but it’s normal that you feel sometimes left out, y’know??
because it’s been a good month since you and taehyung properly interacted but he still resents you as much if you think about it
“hey angel!!”
“what is it-...”
taehyung looks up from his meal that he’s been poking at his fork because this has to be the fourth time you call out to him
so he turns to look at you and-
oh
uhm
there seems to be a misunderstanding
you weren’t calling HIM
you were calling out to some other guy that iSN’T him
that’s seungmin!!! omg you haven’t seen him in so long and he just happened to pass by your lunch table!!!
apparently he has something to talk to you about which is why you’re standing up and leaving tae all alone on the table
seungmin’s smile is adorable as always and he gets you in a pretty good mood!!
oh god
dear gOD
what is taehyung feeling in his chEST???
tae’s grip on his fork is starting to get pRETTY tight
and if he’s aware enough, his right eye’s twitching and he’s practically scoffing under his breath
why tf would you call him that
WHO is angel and why is it nOT him anymore????
what he’s feeling is just unexplainable and it tastes something like betrayal
“who’s he?”
he quizzes you as soon as you get back to your table and you don’t waver one bit because you know he’s been asking questions recently
“oh that’s just seungmin!! we were childhood friends then he just transferred here awhile-...”
there’s a bitter taste on his tongue and it shows up in his face and you’re not even paying attention to him!!
“really? thought i was him for a second.”
ok now that got you to stop eating
????
why is he acting weird
taehyung looks even more irked because you look sO oblivious right now
“do you call everyone angel?”
o-oh where is this going
“uhm-”
you’re not even finished and to be honest you’re quite lost and taehyung sCOFFS you to the next century
“‘course you do.”
taehyung angrily finishes his meal and you leave it at that because ok maybe he had a bad day?? and he’s just taking it out on you??
and well tae DOESN’T want you to leave it at that
he wants you to ASK him why he’s mad!!! he’s passive-aggressive and it’s getting unhealthy but he’d rather choke than have him spill whatever he’s feeling
the next few days, taehyung avoids you like his LIFE depended on it
you’re not really bothered by it because he has his days, but this one’s just getting out of control
“are you giving me a time-out or something??”
lmao what did u do now
you nudge him when you see him by changbin’s apartment to borrow an easel even though he’s already got it by his apartment
yeah he’s mad at you and he’s petty but maybe he wants to see you again
tae’s giving you silent treatment and you don’t even question him for it
you don’t bother!!
you’re letting him do whatever he wants as always and he dOESN’T like it anymore!!!
he feels like he’s gonna combust at any given time and you don’t give a shit and he feels like yOU should give a shit because you always do!!
you always hover and worry around him but wHY does he feel like you’re not doing it anymore??
why does he yEARN FOR YOU???
it’s quite an an early night for you
you love biochem but sometimes it kicks your ass and it makes you retch at the mention of all-nighters nowadays!! bc they used to be fun but now doing them because you nEED to?? no thx
you’re already in your pajamas and you’re all washed up!! what could changbin need from you at 9 in the evening??
there’s an urgent knocking on your door and you resist the need to groan because you were about to really knock yourself out!! you need to get back all the rest you’ve wasted over your own final project
is that-
“taehyung?”
the man in question is in his huge yellow hoodie that swallows him up every time and he looks positively spent
his hair’s shaggy and his eyes are glazed and there’s a pink tint to his cheeks :((
he’s holding a baby hydroflask in his hands and you’re pretty sure that’s alcohol in there lol
“don’t call me taehyung!!”
he immediately snaps and you’re lost as aLWAYS
did he really just walk all the way to your complex to snAp at you??
“i’m not taehyung,” he frowns deeply and that’s when you’re a bit more mesmerized, “i’m angel.”
is this what you think it is??
your no.1 deflection move is to laugH and you’re doing that rn
something about this whole situation tickles you funny and you’re not sure what to feel about it
“i like your bottle!! i should get one for myself!!”
he could see right through you though
he ignores your stOOpid statements and goes to hold your hands :((
“no, no. i’m your angel. i-i’m your taehyung, right??”
listen
taehyung is the most confusing being you know and he’s so emotionally constipated that he outperforms changbin but this one,,,
this just feels so different
he’s hugging you
he’s embracing you
he’s burrowing his face to your neck and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t ever imagine what this would feel like :(((
he positively 100% might be in love with you
and you positively 100% might be in love with him too
he’s fishing for your hand by your side to put in between your bodies as he shakes it and that’s because he doesn’t wanna let go of the hug 
:((((
you’re melting and this what heaven must feel like :((((
“h-hi. name’s kim taehyung and i’m yours.”

What Happens When You Ignore Ushijima Wakatoshi
Note to self, Ushijima always craves your attention during a game.
Ushijima Wakatoshi x Reader
Here you go Anon~ I hope this is good and filthy enough! I’m not that really good at writing long-ish fics because I have trouble tying in all the pieces together. There might be some typos, hopefully not, but I can only go over my words so many times LOL. Yeah, long story short, Ushijima makes me go feral. PLUS FERAL! 
This contains SPOILERS. Nothing too much just timeskip manga stuff, mainly Schweiden Adlers.
THIS HAS 1.5K WORDS OF SMUT // NSFW 
WC- 2,709
~~~
“You’re going to do great, Wakatoshi!” You encourage your boyfriend as the two of you walk through the gym. “Don’t worry, I’ll be here for you the entire time, okay?” Ushijima tries to hide the smile on his face but is unable to do so when your lips peck his cheek.
“Thank you (Y/N),” He leans into your touch and you reach up to run your fingers through his hair, smoothing it out to perfection.
“I’ll be in my usual spot, okay?” You tell him and Ushijima nods, already knowing where you sit in the arena, his fingers pinch the identical jersey you have on that matches his own. With one last kiss, Ushijima heads off to the locker room.
You turn around after deciding to head to one of the merchandise booths to see if you can find anything to send to Ushijima’s mother but, much to your luck, you run right into the chest of someone very familiar. You pull back and notice the thick black curls and legendary mask on his face.
“Yo, Omi-omi?” You gasp in shock at your old classmate, not at all expecting to see him here. “What are you doing here? Did you come with Komori?” You look around for his cousin and Sakusa simply takes in the jersey you have on.
“You’ve always been a big fan of Wakatoshi, haven’t you?” He teases and you narrow your eyes up at him as he brings up your old high-school crush who, luckily, became your boyfriend after Sakusa pulled some strings.
“It’s been like five months since we’ve last seen each other and that’s the first thing you say to me?” You scoff and gently punch his shoulder, remembering all the times you two spent together at Itachiyama. “How have you been? I’ve been watching some of your games.”
The two of you talk for a while and you eventually invite him back to your seats.
“I always have Wakatoshi score me an extra ticket in case my friend wants to come or something,” You explain and Sakusa refrains from rolling his eyes.
“You simply use Wakatoshi for his power, don’t you?” He asks and you cross your arms over your chest.
“No, I don’t. I very much love my Wakatoshi.” You tell him honestly and your eyes fall on your boyfriend, Ushijima glances over at you and a large smile appears on your face when you wave at him.
“He was looking at me.” Sakusa leans back into his chair and you have to hold yourself back from tackling him, his teasing competitive nature getting the best of him. “Ah, Kageyama?” He scoffs and you glance at your old friend and then back at the setter. Sakusa looks over at you. “You know him?”
“Mmm, not really. I’ve bumped into him like once or twice, he seems nice?” You really don’t know what to think about Kageyama, you don’t know much about him.
“You remember our second-year when Wakatoshi wasn’t able to come to nationals because his team got beat?” Sakusa asks and you nod, you were really butthurt back then. “That was Kageyama’s team.”
“Oh, really? And now, they’re teammates?” You gasp and Sakusa nods. “That’s so weird, they seem like they get along though.” Out of the corner of your eye, you glance at your old friend. “You jealous of Kageyama? That he gets to play with Wakatoshi and you don’t?”
That comment sparked a long argument filled with bickering between the two of you and before you know it, the second set had begun. Not that you noticed, you were too busy catching up with an old friend.
Ushijima noticed, he watched you the entire time. He watched every interaction, every laugh that left your lips, every time you touched Sakusa, and it made him spike the ball much harder than he needed to. Kageyama simply looks at Hoshiumi with a raised brow and the wing spiker motions to where you are sitting, it still doesn’t make sense to Kageyama. What do you have to do with how Ushijima plays?
The Schweiden Adlers still win, not that it comes as a surprise to anyone, especially when it is an early match in the season like this one is.
Ushijima, in his dense head, manages to push down how he is feeling. The feeling of frustration over how you didn’t look at him once while he was playing. He is whole-heartedly jealous even if he doesn’t realize it. When he finally leaves the locker room he is rudely awakened. There you are waiting for him like normal, but this time you are with someone else.
You are still talking with Sakusa.
“Wakatoshi! Look who I found!” You excitedly grab his arm and bring him toward your old friend. Ushijima notes with an irritated expression that you don’t congratulate him on the match or praise him like you usually do.
“Wakatoshi.” Sakusa greets, subtly nodding his head and Ushijima does the same. Except, he even refuses to acknowledge Sakusa past that. You notice the tense air rather quickly and try your best to smooth it over.
“We should all go out to eat, Sakusa already has a place in mine, it’ll be fun.” You tell him, trying to warm Ushijima up to the idea while at the same time calm his anger down. You don’t understand why he is so upset.
“I will just meet you at home.” Ushijima stiffens and coldly disregards you, breaking from your grasp, he sends Sakusa one last nod before walking off.
“I should check on him.” You sigh and turn back to Sakusa. “I’m sorry, rain check, you still have my number right?” Sakusa nods and you send him a sympathetic smile before running off to where Ushijima went.
Thankfully, you catch up to your boyfriend rather quickly, you find Ushijima right outside the subway next to the arena.
“Wakatoshi, wait!” You call and grab onto his arm when you get the chance. Ushijima glances at you once before going back to looking straight ahead of him, he is clearly ignoring you. “What’s wrong?” Your question is met with nothing.
When you finally get back to your apartment, Ushijima heads straight to the bedroom as he still ignores you. You quietly take off your coat and put away your bag before following him.
It’s quite the surprise that you find him laying on the bed, already watching playbacks from the game on his phone, usually, he does this later at night.
“What’s wrong?” You ask again and Ushijima finally turns to you and you can practically see the anger swimming in his eyes.
“Why do you even go to my games if you are not going to watch?” He asks and you raise a brow at him. You softly shut your eyes before taking a deep breath.
“I was watching, I always watch you, what are you talking about?” You press, not liking his sudden change in attitude, at the same time you take off your annoying jeans. All that you are left in is his large jersey and your panties, your socks already flung elsewhere. 
“All I saw was you watching Sakusa.” He glares and you click your tongue, trying your hardest not to scoff. Deep down you realize, he’s just jealous. 
“Shouldn’t you be paying attention to the court and not me, Wakatoshi? It’s my job to watch you.” You tease and poke his nose, Ushijima’s face doesn’t falter. “Are you really that upset?” You ask as you climb onto the bed. “Wakatoshi, I’m sorry, you know I love you right?” 
Ushijima simmers in his frustration and goes back to his phone. You heave a sigh and take your underwear off, leaving his jersey to be the last thing that leaves your body.
“Let me make it up to you Wakatoshi,” You gently cup his cheek and climb onto his lap, from where you rest on his hips you can see how upset he is and your cheeks puff out in frustration. You try to kiss him but Ushijima dodges your lips and instead tightly grips your hips, his phone now forgotten.
“On your knees.” You cautiously look up at your boyfriend but still drop to your knees obediently, shuffling down in-between his legs. Your innocent eyes nearly make him groan, there is nothing innocent with what he is about to do with you. Ushijima palms his clothed cock and audibly grunts when your smaller hands take over for him. Your hands run along his strong, muscular thighs while purposely skimming over his most sensitive parts. With another look up at him you see his olive eyes already staring back at you, you know you have to get to work. Slowly you pull at the waistband of his shorts, bringing them down his thighs while every so often looking back up at him to check for his reaction. 
Ushijima’s hard cock slaps up against his stomach and you bite your lip at the thoughts coursing through your head, just the sight makes butterflies wind up in your stomach. You lean forward and place a single peck on the head of his cock before taking him into your mouth. The pace you have set is slow as you let yourself adjust to having his large length inside of your mouth. Ushijima sighs and tips his head back when you run your tongue along the underside of his dick, your warm mouth sucking him in feels heavenly.
He needs more.
You glance at his hands fisting your hair before looking up at him, Ushijima only stares blankly down at you. He gently cups your cheek while gently stroking the skin with his thumb before he continues.
“I am going to fuck your face.”
You have to appreciate the warning, you gently pull off of him and let yourself take a deep breath before taking him in again. Ushijima guides you along his length, setting the pace to which you bob your head up and down to take him down your throat. Your nose brushes against his pubes and you gag loudly once it finally registers just how deep he is inside of you. Your nails pinch his thighs as you try to keep up with his pace. The only thing keeping you going is hearing his moans and praises.
“Such a good girl sucking me off like this, so good.” Ushijima grunts, tightening the grip he has on your hair. The jealous from before is still resting in his belly, even when he has you like this, he’s still pissed. “You can take more.”
A loud guttural moan echo throughout the room once you swallow around him, one of your hands trails down to toy with his balls. You do anything to distract yourself from the ache in your jaw and the lack of oxygen you’re suffering from. One glance down at you and Ushijima can tell it all, he gently pulls you off of him and stares at you as you rest on his muscular thigh.
You cough lightly before sending him a wobbly smile, ensuring that everything is still okay. He can’t make you deep-throat him again, as good as it feels, Ushijima won’t allow it. Instead, he pumps his length right beside your face as you continue to massage his balls. His hand speeds up and you watch with dark eyes as he finishes all over your chest and chin, coating you in his cum.
You stare up at him with your mouth agape slightly, you’re in disbelief that he came all over you.
“I’m not done with you yet.” Ushijima pulls you back up into his lap, your legs spread wide on either side of his thighs. You can feel his length hardening against your hip and you can’t even comprehend how fast everything is moving. Before you know it, you’re flipped onto your back with Ushijima towering over you. He pulls your legs over him with your knees bent towards your chest.
Ushijima drags the tip of his cock along your slit, pressing into your clit to get you squirming.
“You don’t get to enjoy this,” He tells you and you can’t help the way you pout at him. Ushijima leans forward to place a single kiss on your forehead before thrusting inside of you, completely bottoming out and not even giving you the chance to adjust. His hips slowly pick up the pace, thrusting into you all at once.
“I’m going to stuff you full,” Ushijima growls, his low voice rings in your ear. “you like that? Having my cum drip out of your little cunt?” His hips slam into yours harshly and your lips fall open in a silent moan. Your back arches as you thrust your chest into the air and Ushijima takes no time in sucking one of your nipples into his mouth. “No one else can fuck you like I do.”
His thick fingers move quickly against your swollen clit, rolling the bud against his digits while his cock drills into you. Ushijima is able to get so deep inside of you, especially when he has your knees bent like this. His balls hit your ass with every thrust and the sting makes tears prick in your eyes. He is being so rough and you absolutely love it.
“Cum now, right now or you do not get to cum at all,” Ushijima commands, his eyes narrowing down at your fucked out figure. His hips stutter slightly when he notices the way your eyes are half shut and your tongue is peaking out past your lips, you look so ruined. When he zones in on his cum splayed on your chest, he can’t help himself anymore. “I said to fucking cum.” His fingers pinch your clit and you sob at the feeling, his other hand moves from your ass up to your throat. As his fingers move up your body he tweaks your other nipple, roughly fondling your breast, before cupping your throat.
Ushijima squeezes the sides of your neck as his frustration continues to grow.
“Why aren’t you cumming? Do you think someone else can fuck you better?” He snaps and your lips fall into a pout, his insecurities are getting the best of him.
“Only you can fuck me like this Wakatoshi, I love you,” You hiccup and each thrust causes your breath to hitch as loud moans spill past your lips. “I-I don’t want it to be over.” Fat tears roll down your face and Ushijima feels his heart stop, he seriously can’t get enough of you.
“I fuck you every night, pump you full with my cum and you still are greedy for more?” At one harsh snap of his wrist, your hips rise up to meet his thrust and you come undone. An unfamiliar feeling washes over you and before you can even process it, you’re squirting all over his cock. Your essences coats his abdomen and his thighs, his cock, the sight makes Ushijima fall onto his forearms.
Despite your orgasm, he still fucks you with purpose. He still uses you as if you are a toy to get his own personal fill. His lips suck deep bruises into your neck and your eyes flutter shut as you focus on his grunts, his groans, how rough and animalistic they sound.
“You’re mine, you know that?” Ushijima asks, his hips speeding up even quicker to chase his own release. “Mine.” You’ve never heard your boyfriend talk like this before and it sends your heart into a frenzy.
“All yours, Wakatoshi.” You moan quietly into his ear and Ushijima’s hips still against yours, he completely bottoms out inside you as he finally comes undone. His cum paints the inside of your walls and after a few moments, he shallowly thrusts experimentally inside of you as he pushes his cum even deeper into your cunt.
You watch with your mouth agape as he pulls out of you, his spent cock falls limp against his muscular thigh. Ushijima brings his fingers to your lower lips, pushing the cum back to your entrance before thrusting two of his fingers inside of you.
“Take it all, I don’t want you to waste a single drop.”

At first they return as softness, whispers in the wind, barely making their presence known The nostalgia is just the beginning, until the memories of you start aching in my bones They always come but are never welcome, intrusive, manipulative, controlling everything you always were, so discreetly So much so, I tried to tell my […]
