kinda random but headcanons about young!tony telling maria stark all about his girlfriend (maybe she was his best friend/childhood friend and then they fell in love and maria always teased them about how they'd make a cute couple) and maria teasing him about being a lovesick puppy but also being super happy about it + relationship advice from mama stark 🤧🥰 maybe her telling tony what she thinks of his girlfriend and everything 🥺👉👈
Tbh I like the idea of Tony and his s/o being cute childhood friends🥺 and this is already long but I feel like I have so much more I wanna say 😭 I hardly know what I said here honestly 😭 I focused a lot more on the childhood aspect ngl 😭
Word count: 1,909
Warnings: she/her terms and pronouns used | completely SFW |
💠You and Tony have been connected at the hip since childhood! Neighbors, both the only children in your families, same age— so of course you both got up to no good in the shared strip of grass between your homes! And eventually up to no good in each other's homes! 
💠Cue that video of that kid crying because the other kid said that she'd marry him 😂 That's pretty much little you and little Tony! Your Superman and Barbie were always married to his Batman and He-Man toys, and maybe you made him be the housewife when you played house in the kitchen 😌 And Maria was probably much more entertained with whatever love-betrayal-murder plot you two came up with on the living room floor than the daytime soaps on the tv 🤧
💠Especially if Maria is best friends with your parent/s, I'm sure she was the type to giggle about how their kids will grow up and get married 
💠He was ripping apart RC cars instead of playing with them in the driveway, or making you hold wires in place while he duct-taped them around a pipe. And Howard wasn't very happy when he started tearing television remotes apart, too… 
💠So when daddy dearest shipped him off to boarding school, summers and holidays were practically spent entirely together!
💠He always hid in your backyard when he was sent home early from boarding school for being difficult, and was oh-so-boastful about winning the fight that got him sent home early- that he didn't even start, by the way! He started hiding in your room on the days he had to go back, but he wasn't going to let you get in trouble for hiding him when now your parents were involved in the search too 😖
💠Every year, the same routine. Sometimes he came back a little taller, and sometimes he was leaving with a new haircut (of which you weren't afraid to let him know your opinion of it!) that would be grown back out by the time he returned, but one day, in particular, was different...
💠 He'd shown up at your window as per usual, right at the end of summer, finally tall enough to cross his arms over your windowsill without standing on his toes. 
💠 "I don't wanna go," he whined, squishing his cheek against his arm as he rested his head upon his crossed arms. 
💠"But you'll get in trouble," you argued back, meeting him at the window and standing on your knees, still looking down at him. 
💠"I'll get in trouble either way." He continued to pout, but you didn't let up either. 
💠"It's just one more year." But your plea was only met with a sigh.
💠"Here," you started decisively, tone making him turn towards you, still with his chin tucked over his arms. With a short bout of courage, you quickly leaned down before he could even realize, barely touching your lips to his in a child's-excuse-of-a-kiss that hardly lasted a second. "I'll wait for you to get back, okay?" You chirped reassuringly, fighting the heat under your cheeks.
💠Wide-eyed and red-faced, no longer slumped over crossed arms and tight-lipped, he could only nod cartoonishly. 
💠 You'd always thought he looked silly and a bit scrawny in his school uniform, but now he looked quite cute in those silly green shorts as he was finally heeding Jarvis' call from the car. 
💠Both fortunately and unfortunately, nothing special happened or changed once he came home, but as time passes, it's only natural for the two of you to get shy at close contact or steal glances during a round of Galaga or Mario, and maybe sitting a bit close for the thrill!
💠And Maria obviously notices! She doesn't play on the NES herself, but she enjoys watching! Or maybe just enjoys watching you guys 🤭
💠And later that night at dinner, she's definitely teasing Tony about how cute you two are, but even Howard comes to the poor blushing boy's rescue 😖
💠Remember that Tony went to college real early at 16, probably much to your secret bitterness and dismay 😒 but the worst was that, once again, he only came home on summers and winters and holidays 😔 where you got to hear all about his new friend and maybe felt a bit jealous 😔
💠But at least with his more formal education (and more trust from his dad), he was no longer so anarchic with his little science experiments! Sure, he'd always made little robots and been able to put anything back together with only minor issues, but now you were seeing him in a section of the paper with much larger robots and maybe feeling a bit silly now about holding the flashlight for him while he tore apart your family's backup generator 😅 
💠And maybe you leaned in a little too close on purpose when he was sketching out his blueprints to bring to class after spring break... hey, they are actually really good! 
💠Eventually those RC cars became real cars, and eventually he asked you out… with some help from his mom, of course. 
💠"Tony, when are you going to man up and ask (Y/N) out?" Maria asks one day.
💠"Huh?" He's genuinely confused and taken aback, looking over at his mom with furrowed brows.
💠"You heard me." 
💠"I don't think it's like that," he replies meekly, already blushing. 
💠"Didn't you say she kissed you?"
💠"Yeah, when we were like fourteen…" 
💠"And it doesn't seem anyone else is willing to hang out with you every day..."
💠"Should I be offended by that?" 
💠"You should be inspired."
💠Tony rolls his eyes a little, but it is already something he's thought about. Of course he's thought about it! And honestly, you've probably dropped some very frustratingly obvious hints 😖 and Tony isn't stupid. You know this, he knows this. Well, maybe he's a little more inept when it comes to social cues, but still! 
💠Maria has known you for nearly you're whole life, and she already adores you, so don't worry, she also talks all about how lovely you seem and how Tony should go for it! She's on your side! As soon as you leave, she'll have something to say!
💠And the longer Tony puts it off, the more she'll just downright be like, "Y/N was flirting with you, dummy!!!!" or "You guys are very cute 🥰"
💠Tony is frustrated not because he disagrees, but because he really doesn't know what to do and doesn't wanna look stupid :( Because, let's be honest, in this circumstance, he has 0 experience 🤧
💠After awkwardly trying and failing to ask you out in his garage one night, after fumbling to grab every tool and getting hit by the car's hood he didn't properly secure, and then became even more flustered after you grabbed onto his shoulders and head and asked if he was okay, he decided to begrudgingly ask his mom for help 😖
💠And gets even more embarrassed when she excitedly agrees 😓
💠"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just help me out here," he whines in a regional New York accent that he's probably mostly shed by now with his college career. 
💠And only many months later will Maria tell you about his red cheeks and scrunched nose as he asked 🤭
💠But!!! What she's saying... he already failed at a few days ago :( He tried asking you on a date during a casual hangout :( but he was already not doing himself many favors so he gave up and just let you go home with nothing more than a meek "see ya 🙂" 
💠His mom makes him feel a little better about it, especially when she says that you probably thought it was cute😊😊 and probably knew what was up anyway! But, uh, maybe still make sure you don't do that next time... have more confidence!
💠So... the next time you're both hanging out in his garage... he's probably puffing out his chest and flexing a bit 🤭 but when you do look, it does help his confidence! And that's the point! 
💠This time when you go to leave, he's still a bit flustered and stumbling through a few words, but he does manage to get out a "so, um... I was thinking maybe we should go somewhere... nicer? Next time? Maybe Friday?"
💠He becomes a bit squeaky at the end there, but it only helps him look cuter! Of course, you've been waiting on this for years, probably, so you can confidently smile back at him and tell him you'd love that- maybe even tell him that you have been waiting for him to ask!
💠Bonus points if you give him a little cheek kiss before you head home, kinda reminiscent of your silly little childhood kiss 🥰 And yes, Tony never forgot it 😘
💠Your confidence (and his lack thereof) definitely throws him off! But don't let his stiff demeanor fool you! He's very happy! And can't hide his grin when he head into his own house... which his mom instantly picks up on and may have been watching through the window 🤭
💠And might tease him about that little kiss 😘
💠But now... he has to actually plan the date 😨
💠First dates are always awkward (especially with your childhood friend!), but with some pretty flowers and surprisingly confident handholding, it goes well! 
💠Bonus points for another cheek kiss before you head inside your house after he drops you off 😘 
💠Either way, now he's hooked! 
💠Now, when you lean over the edge of the car to look under the hood and huddle close to him, he can't help but smile all giddy and sneak a kiss 🥺 because now he's allowed to and now he's super cute 😭
💠He used to always keep it to himself, but now when he calls his mom every week from school like usual, he can't help but complain about being bored without you 🥺 only for Rhodey to scoff offendedly behind him loud enough for Maria to hear 😭 
💠And you know Rhodey got an earful when Tony returned from Summer break talking about his new girlfriend 😘
💠And you also know that when Tony calls you from school, Rhodes is waiting not only to make his own calls, but 7 out of 10 times waiting to make kissy noises and aws every time Tony says he misses you or anything along those lines 🥰 The other times, Rhodey does give you guys some peace and quiet, but sometimes him being there for the call is fun too! 
💠But even when he is home, and even if you were just over yesterday or earlier that day, Maria can tell he's bummed ☹️
💠But honestly it does kinda make her happy! Her son is in love!! But she can't help but tease him about being all lovesick 🥰🥰 There's probably a picture somewhere of him pouting at the breakfast table, but he'll brush it off as him being tired 😤
💠The two of them being close is, believe it or not, a good thing for you! Sure, Maria is protective of her son, but she's also protective of you! Moreso when it comes to your relationship with Tony! 
💠If Tony comes to confide in her about an argument, whether or not he's in the wrong, she's telling him how to fix it 🤧 and sending him with flowers 💐

Some Schneiders of Stars Hollow in the morning.
Ethan Maisel likes that his mother is semi-retired.
Honestly, she’s been busting her ass in show business since the sixties, and at almost seventy, she’s earned a break.
And sure, Stars Hollow is a weird place, filled with strange people and a festival a week, and…that Kirk guy, but Ethan thinks it’s nice that his mother and stepfather are so happy here.
And besides, the food at Luke’s Diner is pretty great, all things considered, and that’s coming from someone who grew up on traditional New York deli food.
He steps inside and sheds his coat, shaking some snow out of his hair and then nodding towards the owner behind the counter. “Hey, Luke.”
Luke gives him a friendly grin. “Ethan, hey. Meetin’ your mom?”
“Yeah, though she’s late, even though I made sure to be late, too,” Ethan chuckles.
“That’s Midge. Coffee?”
“God, yeah, thanks.”
He sits at one of the tables and glances through the menu, and, like a tornado, his mother rushes in from the cold.
“I know I’m late!” she cries as she slips out of her fashionable rose-colored coat. She’s still petite, still a very pretty woman, though these days she no longer tries to dye her hair, instead sporting her same-as-ever haircut, only mostly silver, and Ethan is grateful that she’s accepted aging as apart of life. He knows it’s not easy to be in show business as an older woman, but he’d hate for his talented mother to try and cling to fading youth when she’s always been more than a pretty face.
“Yes, you are,” Ethan chuckles as he gets up and allows himself to be kissed on the cheek and hugs her with one arm. “But that’s nothing new.”
“Yikes, already with the roasts, what did I do now?” Midge asks as she takes a seat.
Luke settles two coffees at their table with some cream and sugar, and Midge pats his arm.
“Thanks, Sweetie. You’re a lifesaver, it’s cold out there!”
“No problem. Any thoughts on food yet?” Luke asks, pulling out his order pad.
“Can you make that sandwich with all the veggies and Munster cheese and Russian dressing?” Midge requests. “It was so good last time when you toasted the bread just right.”
“You got it,” Luke nods. “Ethan?”
“Soups today?”
“Maryland Crab, Matzoh Ball, Chicken Noodle and Navy Bean.”
“Navy bean, and half a turkey sandwich with spicy mustard?” Ethan requests.
“Comin’ up!”
Midge smiles at Ethan brightly. “So? Coming all this way to have lunch when you’ve got such a busy schedule? What’s up?”
Ethan sighs softly. “Well…it’s Noah.”
Her smile falls. “What? What about Noah, what’s wrong with Noah?”
“Nothing’s really wrong, he’s just-“ Ethan pauses and sips his coffee. “He came home for winter break, and he announced that he…hates MIT.”
“He hates MIT?” Midge asks, confused. “MIT is all he’s talked about since he was six years old. He’s been dreaming of going there nearly his whole life, and now he hates it?”
“You know he doesn’t hate it,” Ethan tells her. “He hates that he’s so far away from all of us. He doesn’t get to come home for family dinners, and he misses birthdays and even some holidays.”
“But I thought he was doing well, making friends!”
“He was, but he’s not happy,” Ethan tells her. “So he’s looking at the other schools he got into.”
“That’s seven other schools,” Midge points out. “He’s considering the other seven schools that he considered his backups if MIT somehow lost their mind and didn’t want to admit one of the brightest young science majors in the world?”
“Ma…”
She takes a breath, composing herself. “Okay. So. What’s he thinking?”
“He’s considering Columbia, although he still remembers Gramma Rose telling him Columbia was cursed when he was little,” Ethan says.
“Mama certainly had a way with words, didn’t she?” Midge smiles sadly.
“She definitely did,” Ethan agrees, patting her hand gently. “He’s also heavily considering Yale.”
She blinks, tilting her head with interest. “Is he really?”
“Yes, he is. He’d be very close by.”
“Yes, he would.”
Ethan grins at his mother, amused, as he watches the wheels turn in her head. “Ma…”
“It’d be nice to have him so close!” she defends. “And Rory goes to Yale, and they’re the same age, and Ella pops by from time to time, but everyone else is always on the run, and I’m no good at running anymore.”
“If Noah chooses Yale, you have to be cool about it,” Ethan tells her.
“I can be cool! Look at the man I married; a picture of his face is next to the definition of ‘cool’ in the dictionary.”
“You can’t show up on campus without warning,” Ethan says. “And you can’t set him up on dates without telling him.”
“I was never the matchmaker in our family,” Midge reminds him.
“You know what I mean.”
She huffs out an exasperated breath. “Okay, okay, I get it, no meddling.”
Ethan chuckles and leans over, kissing her cheek. “Thanks, Ma.”
“So where is wonder boy now?” Midge asks.
“He and Julia are touring Princeton today,” Ethan says.
“Feh. Princeton.”
“What’s wrong with Princeton?”
“It’s in New Jersey! I don’t want my grandson to come home smelling like New Jersey.”
Ethan laughs. “Ma.”
She crosses her arms.
“It’s just a tour. They’re doing the Yale tour tomorrow.”
“And then you’re coming here for dinner,” Midge tells him.
“Yes,” Ethan agrees. “We will come back to Stars Hollow for dinner, and you can try to talk my son into doing what you want.”
“Thank you.”

I Don't Know These People.
The feeling of losing friends, drifting apart from people you once were so close to, the thought, “I Don’t Know These People”.
I attended a pool party for a friend's birthday. I was hesitant, in part because I don’t like parties, but mostly because I don’t enjoy being shirtless. I did end up going, and with it, I met with some of my old friends I hadn’t seen in a long time.
When I say that, one might think a few weeks, a few months, or if we’re a bit dramatic a few days. Though, by definition, “a long time” is being “far in the past.” And yeah, I hadn’t seen these friends in over 2 years. The last time I saw them was in March of 2020, as I jokingly referred to as “Pre-Plague.” 
Writer and professor Yiyun Li once said “Things change a lot. Within a blink, a mountain flattens and a river dries up. Nobody knows who he'll become tomorrow.” We live each day changing bit by bit. Physically, of course, through height, weight, or hairstyle. It can also be mental, feeling down one day or feeling enthusiastic another. Only a single day can cause so much change. Imagine two and a half years of nothing but small conversations with little to no substance beyond funny pictures and small talk.
I looked out at the pool full of people I knew and loved. I had grown up with them for 3 years, and yet, I didn’t know them anymore. They all seemed so different, in almost uncanny ways. Some of them had new haircuts, some had gotten more muscular, and some had gotten taller, but more than that, these people had changed in a way I can’t possibly describe.
Like the slow, gradual changing of your hometown, a street light here,  a few lanes there. You don’t realize it at the moment, but you know, something, maybe everything, is different.
My friends didn’t change in major ways, but as I thought about it I realized how far we had grown apart. They lived in different areas and went to different schools, of course, we would grow apart and they would change, but it doesn’t feel like I’ve changed.
It seems so cliche, like a hero’s journey, going through personal development constantly, but lacking when it comes to recognizing that development. Applying it to other people, however, proves rather easy.
This person went through a bad relationship and came out the other side stronger. That person went through a death in the family and learned to deal with loss.
Even in literature, character change is explored. Bilbo Baggins starts as a very grounded, safe, non-adventuring person, and by the end, he yearns for a new adventure with peril and danger. In James Dashner’s The Maze Runner, Thomas, the main character, starts the story as a fish out of water, struggling to survive in his alien environment. But by the end, he’s the leader of his companions, they look up to him for leadership and courage.
Things like this happen constantly in the real world as well. Countries’ relationships develop constantly, markets dictate how companies interact,  and connections are formed and changed as needed.
The thing is, though, those are all obvious changes. When looked at from an outside perspective, they have a rhyme, a rhythm, and a reason for happening. 
I left that party a little early that evening, partly because I wanted to be home early, but also partly because I felt so out of place. I used to care for these people, and I still do, but a fundamental part of that care is missing and I don’t think I can get it back.
It feels almost ironic to say, “Things have changed, and that's okay.” As if I’m a late 2000s song about moving on. On the other hand, it also feels weird to acknowledge the fact that the world does change, and whether I like it or not, people change along with it. My friend groups won’t always be the same, but for the time being, I should spend a little more time with the people closest to me.

Chamomile Comic Trivia #24
#125 - Speaking
Tumblr media
This phone call is pretty much verbatim one I had at work, including incorrect shop name, incorrect town, asking for a confirmation that I was definitely not in a completely different shop in a completely different town, and that sign-off.  I was dumbfounded, but my first thought was “well, thanks for the free comic, stranger.”  It didn’t feel like substantial enough a comic on it’s own though so I decided to double-down on funny customer stuff with what came next, which I’m thankful to say, was an original exaggerated scenario on my part.
Lyndhurst is an intentional shout-out to a real, lovely little town in the New Forest area of the UK which I visited on holiday and had a lovely slice of cake and coffee in a corner tea shop that Google Maps tells me no longer exists, boo.
Layla’s box warns not to place any items on top of it, which of course the present annoying customer does.  The final quick little joke that I hoped everyone picked up on is said customer complaining that the radio plays awful music, considering, y’know, the music that comes out of a radio is at least partially the user’s own selection.
#126 - Previously
Tumblr media
A personal little favourite one of mine.  The original joke was just “parody “Previously On...” segments in TV shows that makes it very obvious the seagull will have something to do with the comic, and then have it not show up”.  But I kept riffing on the initial non-reveal of the pigeon at the window and just got sillier and sillier to the point where I was like “is this too far for the tone of the comic?” but I was chuckling away to myself making it so much that I just decided to roll with it.
Turns out “Pizza Boys” is a real TV show - not the gritty crime drama genre that Cammie appears to be watching though, and I believe my comic predates it too, so maybe I did google it at the time and found nothing.  The pigeon at the window is a rather strange design because it is in fact the same pigeon from my 2015 24-Hour Comic Day Comic: “Nuts” (to read: Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3).  Future Cammie is using a ladder, but the window cleaner isn’t. He canonically has terrifyingly long legs.  Future Cammie’s inexplicable maid outfit comes from this End of Month Pin-Up (and popped up again for Apricot Calendar 2019).  The eyepatch, shaved haircut and trench coat just come naturally from being from the future, of course.
I remember a bunch of webcomics I grew up with in my teenage years like Dragon Tails and maybe Real Life Comics used to enjoy doing a bit of time travel stuff where they’d plan stuff out in advance so when you went back to earlier comics, there’d be background events that show those time travel plots were always destined to happen!  I have no such plans for Cammie, and as said, this comic was just the result of me having a bit of a silly, but now it’s done and part of the comic, it feels like a sort of subtle homage to those time travel plots that once seemed like a thing all webcomics ought to do sooner or later (or earlier!  dohoho time travel!!).
#127 - Unreasonable
Tumblr media
Another one I really like.  It’s a pretty-well covered joke but I’m just happy with how my own take on it came out here.  Brianna continues to be my spirit animal here, I truly hate how christmas overshadows all other holidays towards the latter half of the year. It’s funny seeing any pre-2020 reference to the year 2020. That number fills us all with such dread now.
Hard to tell at web size but of course the advent calendar Brianna has picked up is Frogy themed:
Tumblr media
Those penguin toys on the shelves... I have a default way of drawing penguins if I don’t put effort into them that is absolutely basically entirely the “penguin” design from “Bang on the Door”:
Tumblr media
This brand was everywhere in the early 2000′s with a focus on stationary (”groovy chick” was probably the most popular design, you probably knew someone or two with a folder or pencil case at school/college). I love this penguin, I had that toy too.  It’s permanently overwritten what my brain thinks cartoon penguins look like. This lil’ guy just lives in my head rent free and I have to look at a picture of an actual penguin to draw them anything close to properly.
#128 - Wireless
Tumblr media
A silly physical comedy one - I’m pretty sure it’s physically impossible to knock wireless headphones out with a hair fluff, but this is Cammie’s hair we’re talking about.  It was fun to learn how to actually draw a street drain for that close-up (as oppose to how I’ve always drawn them which is a rectangle with a load of lines down it), and Jez is always allowed a little Draw Cammie In Her Sports Bra Again, as a treat.

So much has happened since my last post. Alyssa started kindergarten! She absolutely loves it. Gen is pretty pissed though that Alyssa gets to leave and she has to stay home. Once George starts preschool in October we’ll have some fun adventures/one-on-one which I think she desperately needs.
We got the new roof! After lots of debate we went with Estate Grey. Justin and my parents wanted black, I wanted something better for the environment and more neutral. We wish we would have gone with the black though because it looks the same as our last roof, much lighter than we had anticipated. Whatever. It’s just a roof. And in align with the rest of this move, it ended up being more expensive than quoted because seven of the boards were rotted underneath. Glad it’s done, glad we had the budget to do it.
What else? The girls started dance. Jess the neighbor has become my best friend and I would be an insane person without her. Seriously. I must have manifested our friendship. And this town. And my plants. Very very happy, just mentally recovering from the absolute hell that was April-July.
The twins turn 3 a month from tomorrow. I am having a lot of feelings about it. Three is the age where children leave the baby/toddler stage and enter the kid stage. It also has significance in Jewish culture, it is a stage of new maturity. Also in Jewish tradition, children have their first haircut at age 3. I’ve discussed if we were going to leave George’s hair long, chop it off, or let him choose. Because we are Jewish, I would at least trim it at age 3 for tradition. But because he is still preverbal, I have to guess whether he would want it long or short. George has some sensory stuff and hates the feeling of the hair brush, his hair being washed/styled, and it getting in his eyes. Sometimes he will get frustrated and start slapping it away from his eyes. I feel like I have to explain this because I know some people are going to be upset when we cut it short enough to be above his eyebrows. Of course he can grow it out later if he wants it long, I just want him to be in control of that decision and for now I am making the decision based on what I think he would choose.
My mom came to visit and we did some fun things but I was also a grouch. When I was hospitalized while pregnant with the twins, and then endured the trauma that is watching your 2 pound baby struggle to breathe for 3 nerve-racking months, I needed some time to come back to my normal self after. And that’s where I’m at right now. The move was so stressful. Stressful on all three of my children, stressful on my marriage, stressful financially. Carrying the mental load of a household relocating to a different time zone and a completely different culture was a lot on my anxious soul and I feel a little broken. I’ve been crying more than usual and it feels good, like a much-needed release. I just need to be still and recover for a bit before I can be back to my normal self, before I can be the fun, patient person I used to be. I’m getting there, but I’m not all the way there yet.
Exhale. The routine of Alyssa being back in school is delicious and grounding. Earlier bed times have been healing for everyone. My TX neighbor is coming to visit next week and she is so calming and so good with the kids. After she leaves it will be a crazy week replacing most of the flooring in the house. And then it will be October. We’ll have lots of visitors then and George will start school and then November will be still, quiet. Major house stuff done. No visitors planned. No birthdays. Just settling in.
I think I’ve figured out how to get George to sleep. The magnesium lotion DOES help, glad I stuck with it. And you guys were right, that was way too much melatonin for him, .25 mg is what he needs to stay asleep but any more than that and he is hungover the next day. He has slept through the night 4 nights out of the past 7 and it honestly is such a relief. Not just because we all desperately needed sleep, but because I was so worried about how sleep deprivation would affect his development and how he would be able to function at school. It seems like such a simple thing but between Gen and George I did not get to sleep through the night for 3.5 years (couldn’t sleep well while pregnant). That is a really, really long time to feel sleep deprived.
So. Things are good. I am feeling more okayish. Never moving again though..

MAJIMA'S UPBRINGING
Tumblr media Tumblr media
teenage fc. shinya kogami from psycho-pass.
Tumblr media
majima was raised in a wealthy household, both parents had really good paying jobs, & high up positions. neither were yakuza, majima's father, haru majima actually really hated the yakuza. he wasn't a cop, he was simply just a businessman that was considered the right-hand man to the business' ceo. it was an insurance company, nothing special, but was one of the top ones at the time.
his mother, azusa majima worked in the same company, although in a lower position ; this was how the both of majima's parents met. a couple of years into their marriage, they decided to bring a child into their lives. if their child was male, then they would only have one child, if female, then they would have had to have tried again as haru really wanted a son in the case he ever became ceo of the company, & he had a very traditional mindset when it came to things like gender.
this was when goro majima comes in, he's loved, & adored by both parents, but also has expectations put onto him by both. as soon as he's able to study, he is made to study. as soon as majima enters school ( he went to a private, very expensive school ), he is considered a few grades above his peers in intelligence. he's very reserved as a child, keeps his head down for the most part, & maintains his status as an ace student.
throughout his childhood, majima is a very well-behaved child, he doesn't have much reason to not be, he's in a wealthy family, the only child of it, & when he does well in his studies, he's usually treated to a new model kit to build.
entering into his teenage years, he finds that his parents are not as happy together as they make it seem, they clash a lot, & majima is left locked up in his room, hearing them argue. he queries about it, but is met with a harsh slap to the face as his parents refuse to talk to their child about it. this does cause majima's grades to drop, & his father starts to put the blame on his mother more. majima is forced to study for longer hours since his father reinforces why it's so important he aces all of his classes. his father is now ceo of the company, so he tells majima that he requires majima to carry that position eventually when he retires.
but instead, his parents just keep getting into fights with each other, until one day, they break up, & decide to divorce, haru ruins azusa's image making her undesirable for employment with any of the big business in tokyo. he walks out, & leaves both of them behind, considering majima as a deadbeat son that did not reach his expectations, & that he'll end up in poverty just like his mother who ends up turning to alcohol.
unable to provide for her son, majima starts to rebel, skipping out on school to go around tokyo, he eventually meets a bad crowd, a biker gang that he starts to run about with, he picks up habits such as smoking, & drinking himself here. by the age of fourteen, majima decides to leave his home behind, & join the biker gang officially. due to how his upbringing turns out, he's a very aggressive youth, having to be on the run from cops constantly as he causes mayhem.
it is during this time, he ends up meeting shimano of the tojo clan, the yakuza notices how aggressive majima is, & takes a shine to him, seeing the potential the youth has to become a yakuza later in life. so besides being part of a biker gang, he's invited to hang around shimano. shimano tells him about the yakuza, & what they do, as well as that, spends time with him, developing a father & son relationship with majima. this is to convince majima to join his family, & majima in turn becomes extremely loyal to shimano. by the age of eighteen, majima graduates from the biker gang, & becomes a member of the shimano family, willing to do anything for his 'father'.
Tumblr media
RANDOM FACTS
majima has a very ordinary haircut until he's sixteen, when he gets his undercut style. because of his upbringing, & undercuts were kind of considered an extreme hairstyle to have back then, his parents would have never allowed him to have one, so he had the most basic hairstyle imaginable for a large portion of his childhood.
if majima ever meets his bio father past becoming yakuza, there wouldn't be a lot to do in terms of holding him back from beating the hell out of him, & possibly killing him. he grew to hate his father that much.
whilst majima, & his mother didn't have a good relationship either, he realises when he's a lot older that she was in a similar kind of position that he was in himself, but he's already too late as his mother is killed by loansharks when he's only twenty-six, he would have only thought this by the time he entered his thirties.
just because majima is a high school dropout, it does not mean he's not intelligent, since it was pushed into him since an early age, he's kept up studying, even when he dropped out, when he wasn't causing havoc in the biker gang, he would have likely been chilling, & reading a book/magazine on something, & learning from it. yes, his peers did likely poke fun at him for it, but since he was particularly aggressive, they didn't do so for long as he took out a pocket knife at them, & threatened to slit their throats if they kept annoying, & disturbing him from his reading.

It's a long road in this dark valley for John. He's been driving for hours ... and he's still not making it to his destination. He knows where he is going, but he does not understand the detours. However, it follows the path that is marked out, but it always ends in some place: a restaurant, a café, a bus stop, a bistro, a motel, and so on ...
He wants to stop his unnecessary detours and came straight to the point: his dream. Perhaps an unrealizable childhood dream for others ... but certainly not for him. He wants to be a painter ... why would that be impractical? Well, there are a lot of factors that disagree with John. First, popularity: you have to have a very distinct artistic style, very particular and just as much original, to hope that someone is interested in your "works".
Second, the financing: hopefully the said person who is interested in your job, can at least give you a balanced salary. In any case that allows you to pay yourself rent and eat. It goes without saying.
And third, longevity: because it has to last, to hope to stay on the pedestal. The renewal of its graphic texture, a change of partner, a higher salary, closer "friends", and so on …
But that doesn't worry John more than that. He doesn't like the taste for risk… he loves it. So that's why he keeps this feminine kind and this handsome young man in his safe. He has an idea, a concept, a genius whispering behind his head. An idea of ​​symbiosis… between a penetrant and an entrance. Both valiant slayer and holy bearer. A being new to the two primordial functions of life. An avatar of the best of both genres.
And then John had found him ... his final destination. A virgin plateau lost in the world. Perfect according to him for the birth of the human race of tomorrow.
Three days later, several federal and local police cars. Disembark at the place of… birth. Local police were already there, along with other federal agents. They had framed the area and banned the airspace. Two federal agents got out of one of the black chrome cars and approached the case of the day. Or rather the case of the year ... of the century itself. One of the two officers was a black woman in her thirties with bandages over her fingers from the previous case. Much the same reason as her partner, a white man with a crisp haircut. He also had bandages but less than her. He had it mostly on his face, due to this crazy self-styled exorcist they had apprehended a week earlier.
Mail there it goes beyond the crazy fake exorcist. It's been a while since they last had a paranormal affair ... Especially like this one. In the middle of the "crime" scene is the body of a man, a man in his 40s in a fetal position. It looks like he was… pregnant. How is it possible that this man got pregnant? Why was he alone in this desert? Where is his car? And was he really alone?
At a gas station, a cashier said to herself that she should have gone to school better than wandered around with these bikers. She would no doubt have lived a more pleasant life. But hey, we're not all lucky. Except maybe this stranger ... or foreign ... She doesn't really know ... It's not that business anyway.
The hungry ... The being thinks that should be enough. It will hold at least the day. The being does not know where to go. He does not know his final destination. He knows that the road will be long and arduous… but she will not regret any moments which will come as painful will be they. Because she will be with her wonder. He knows she will perform miracles. Miracles for his kind. She feels it deep inside her, the future will be blurred by a dark valley but at the other end is the world shining for its heritage. A dream that will be true ...

cw: none
“You know what I hate more than you?”
Amusing your evening rambles with a hum he looks over at you with a slightly elevated eyebrow and nothing more. Almost assured of the next few words that will come out of your mouth. Still he acts interested and lets you carry on.
“Your god damn brother.” Thus falls the rest of the words out of your mouth as you dig into the basket of clean laundry in front of you, “Annoying ass shit. I thought you were annoying? I mean you are- But shit head came in and drank all the milk! Didn’t bring a new one, didn’t offer to pick some up. Drank the fucking thing of milk and then said ‘see you on Sunday’ like I’m not gonna put rat poison in his food?!”
Your tirade continues on as you snap the clothing in your hand as you proceed to fold the last load of laundry for the day. Still one sided as he sits there not even faking enthusiasm for what you were saying. Just the same dopey dumb look that made you tease him years ago. Now directed at you in the most loving way as he listens to your rant on with underwear in your hands.
“Oh my god and I thought nothing could get more irritating than you.” Un-wrinkling your husbands shirt before slipping it onto the hanger to be hung until the next time he needed it.
Still he laid quietly in bed. Stretched out with his elbow propping him half up so he looked engaged. Glasses drooping down his nose but not bothering to fix them as you’d be done soon enough and join him in bed. Even now you were finishing up and lovingly laying out his work clothes for the next day without a second thought.
“And now look, you even picked out my favorite suit for Friday meeting. It’s cause I look good in that one don’t I?” Rindou finally spoke up with a grin tugging on his lips as you turned around with what was arguably his nicest tailored suit in your grasp. 
Amidst your ranting about Ran’s normal stop by on Wednesday because he picked your son up from school like the good uncle he was. You’d folded Rindou’s underwear, re-hung his shirts and pressed his slacks nice and neat so they wouldn’t be wrinkled until the next time he wore them. As well as gathering his clothes out of the closet for the following day. All on auto pilot until Rindou pointed it out.
“I thought you hated me?” Rindou echoed your sentiment from the last decade you’d both known each other. Now with a shit eating grin etched on his face as he no longer took you seriously.
Though you still took your own self very seriously. Taking his clothes for the next day and throwing them at his face as Rindou remained leisurely on the bed. Utterly straight faced when you slam dunked his extremely expensive suit into his face like you intended to suffocate him. 
“I do hate you! You annoying little shit!” Snapping him with his pants like it were a wet towel and this was a locker room. Sadly to no avail though as Rindou snagged his pant leg and tugged it as well as you, down onto the bed with him. 
Grin on his face. And scowl on yours. He rolled onto his back so he could look up directly at you glaring down at him, “This ring and the kid say otherwise.”
Loudly vocalizing your disgust over his choice of words. You rolled your eyes and readied to push yourself off the bed when Rindou grabbed your wrists to hold you still. Leaning up and stealing a kiss from you even if his smile made it a little hard for it to be a real one. He still took it happily when you groaned against his lips and kissed him back.
“God I hate you.” You sighed like you were utterly out of breath. Still not removing yourself from hoovering over his dumb face, “I should put rat poison in your breakfast.”
Ten years ago he might have taken that as a hint that you didn’t like him. But now Rindou took it in stride with a dumb smile and even dumber haircut as he laid sprawled out on the bed under you and his nice work clothes now wrinkled before he even wore them, “I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow then.”
His cheeky ass. You finally gave up. Collapsing on the bed with your head resting next to his. Rindou rolling over so he could get a more proper kiss this time that only earned a minor groan from you. You might have started the fight. But at this point you realized he might have won the war.

“did you do something to your hair?” you ask osamu, tilting your head a bit closer to his to look further into it, but he pulls back away quickly.
it’s seven in the morning, the snow’s just let up and if it wasn’t for the fact that you were walking to school right now, you’d say it was a pretty nice day.
osamu shakes his head, “no, i didn’t.”
and he lies, cause he did do something to his hair.
he spent all night redying it alone since his brother was out at a training camp for an entire week, and in addition to that, he also spent all morning inwardly panicking whether he should just wear a hat or a bonnet to cover it up.
you cross your arms, carefully walking next to him, and you narrow your eyes, “yes, you did.”
“i did not.” he quickly replies back, matching your tone.
and you frown, “don’t lie to me.”
“well, don’t be nosy.” he retaliates.
truth is; he’s not even sure why he attempted to do his hair in the first place — all he knows is that you went on and on about that guy from the soccer team’s new haircut yesterday afternoon and he finds himself buying a new shade of grey hair dye.
he nudges your side, “stop staring at me.”
you ignore him anyways, keeping your glance on his newly touched up roots, and you distinctly remember how it’s so much lighter than yesterday’s.
he spares you a glance, and he knows you won’t give this a rest, so he finally caves.
“alright, fine.” he gives in, (and he smiles when you excitedly cheer).
he rolls his eyes, “i did something to my hair.”
you smile, “i noticed.”
“you noticed.” he repeats, sighing in defeat, yet trying his hardest to hide the smile he can’t resist.
osamu’s not one to care for his looks, all he ever does regarding it are the things that make him satisfied enough to leave the house, but then of course, he met you, and suddenly it’s an entirely different story.
it’s not like he suddenly started to care or anything, but he notices the subtle changes in his routine ever since he came to terms with the fact that he is indeed in love with you.
like the way it takes him a second longer getting ready before picking you up, the way he’s more conscious of what you’d think about his appearance, the way he wants you to see him the way you see the boys you talk about.
and besides, in his eyes, you’ve always been so nice to look at, he just wanted you to think the same about him too.
osamu looks at you again, noticing how you continue to stare.
so he sighs, “will you stop looking at me now?”
and you give him a cheeky smile.
“i think you look pretty.” you tell him, nudging on his side with a skittish laugh, and you say it as a joke, but you hope he knows you mean it.
he replies in a disgruntled tone, “shut up.” and knowing him as your best friend, you could only laugh again.
osamu’s been your friend for a very long time, and for all the years he’s known you he’s never had this kind of problem before - he’s never once cared about what he looked like in front of you.
so imagine his surprise when one morning he wakes up and he realizes that he’s staring at the mirror a little longer trying to figure out a way to make you swoon like the way you do to the guys you’re crushing on.
osamu would just like you to think he’s pretty enough to be someone you can fall in love with.
“i mean it.” you say, smiling, and it almost pains him that you tell him this so easily.
so you repeat, in a song song voice, “you look very pretty.”
and you expect him to flip you off or insult you or something, but he only looks to the side, and with a hint of red adorning his face, he mumbles, “thanks.”
and you don’t mention it, he doesn’t either, but there’s a way your heart flutters when you see the light blush staining his features, and you like to think that his heart is fluttering too.

fairy tale
the sequel to favorite galaxies! the song that is referenced later on and is the title is fairy tale by homemade haircuts :] (read the third part here)
After multiple pleads of Tommy, Wilbur and even Phil, Techno finally built up enough courage to ask you to come over again.
“I did it, (Y/N)’s coming over for dinner tonight.” Techno told his family when he came downstairs from his room. Phil and Wilbur cheered, Tommy began jumping up and down. Techno chuckled, “they said they were going to bring dessert as well, but needed to know whether you guys preferred vanilla or chocolate cake.” 
“Aw they don't need to do that.” Phil said before Techno cut him off, “That’s what I said as well but I wasn’t able to change their mind.”
“Chocolate?” Wilbur suggested and they all nodded, Techno off to his room again to talk with you. 
“Hey (Y/N)?” he said as he unmuted himself in the discord call. “Shit!” you yelped, “Sorry, you scared me.” Techno laughed, “Sorry, sorry. They said chocolate. They’re all really excited to see you again, especially Tommy.” “I’m really excited to see them too. How have they been doing?” you asked. Techno smiled, “good! Wilbur hasn’t stopped asking to meet you and neither has Tommy. He’s literally been asking about you multiple times a day.” You aww’ed and Techno smiled, excited to see you again. “That’s so sweet. I’m really excited to meet Wilbur and see Tommy again, he’ll love the dessert I’m bringing.” 
“What are you making?” Techno asked. “Ahhh that my dear is a secret. Now I must go to work on it.” you said and Techno huffed, making you laugh. “Hey I’ll be there tonight, okay? Don’t get too sad, bye Tech!” “I’ll try, bye (Y/N).” 
You smiled to yourself as you stood up to make chocolate cupcakes with galaxy frosting. 
After finishing piping the cupcakes, you smiled. They looked pretty good, you couldn’t wait to see Tommy’s reaction to them.
~
Your hand reached to knock on the door when it suddenly opened to reveal Techno with Tommy in his arms. “(Y/N)!” the toddler yelled excitedly as he reached for you. “Tommy!” you exclaimed, hugging him and shooting Techno a smile. “How have you been, big guy?” you asked Tommy. “Good! I made more drawings today.” he told you. “All of which are galaxies by the way.” Techno added, gesturing for you to come inside. “Oh really? Show me!” you said to Tommy and he nodded, climbing out of your arms when you reached the living room. 
“Hey (Y/N)! It’s good to see you again.” Phil said when he saw you. “Thanks for letting me come over again.” you smiled and you turned to Wilbur, “nice to meet you, I’m (Y/N).” Wilbur smiled, “Oh trust me, I know. Neither of my brothers have shut up about you. Nice to meet you too, I’m Wilbur.”
You laughed and turned to look at Techno, whose face was now a deep red. “Wilbur I’m going to ki-” he began before Tommy interrupted him. “Look!” he said and he held up one of his drawings. You quickly shot Techno a wink before complimenting Tommy on his drawings, also telling him some new facts you came across online.
Techno’s eyes widened, his face an even deeper shade of red. He stood there frozen for a split second before he heard a small snicker of Wilbur. That asshole. Phil smacked his oldest son, making Techno snort. Deserved.
“So what did you make for dessert (Y/N)?” Phil asked. “That’s a surprise. Speaking of, is there anywhere I can put it?” you answered and he nodded, getting up to lead you to the kitchen. “You really can’t show me?” He tried again and you chuckled, “okay then, but don’t tell them anything.” 
He zipped his mouth shut and you grabbed the container from your bag, opening the lid to reveal the cupcakes. “Holy shit (Y/N) these look great! Oh my god Tommy will love these.” he said. “Aw thank you, I really hope so.” you said as he got out some ingredients so the container would fit. “Is there any way I can help with dinner?” You offered but he firmly denied again, calling out for Wilbur.
“Yes father?” he said when entering the kitchen. “You’re helping me with dinner.” Phil answered and Wilbur saluted him. You wondered how the three brothers could be this different. “So (Y/N), what did you make for dessert?” Wilbur asked, making you laugh. Different yet all the same. “All of your curiosity is making it very hard but I’m not telling you.” 
Wilbur pouted at you and you shook your head no, you weren’t going to slip up now. 
You felt someone tap against your leg and you looked down to see Tommy. “Hey Tommy, what’s up?” you asked as you crouched to face him. He leaned in to whisper, “Techno told me to come save you.” You giggled and followed Tommy back to Techno, who was sitting on the couch. He smiled when he saw you walking to him, he missed you already. “What’s up?” you asked, sitting next to him. Tommy quickly crawled in your lap, melting the boy in front of you. 
“I- uhm I listened to the playlist you sent me and I really liked it.” he told you and your eyes lit up, “really? What song was your favorite?” “I think it was called Fairy Tale? The band name was something with haircuts in it I believe.” 
You felt your stomach explode with butterflies at the realization he was talking about the love song that reminded you of him. Thoughts were now flooding your mind, about if he thought of you when listening to the song, did he even realize what the lyrics were, did he just liked the song with no further intention, does he like y- “(Y/N?)” Techno suddenly said, snapping you back to the conversation. “Hmm? Oh- Fairy Tale! That’s a good song, one of my favorites as well actually.” you answered blushing. Techno grinned and took a glance at Tommy, seeing him nearly asleep. His hand reached to poke the younger awake but you swatted his hand away. Techno raised his eyebrow at you, to which you smiled and calmly told Tommy to stay awake for a little bit longer. In response Tommy huffed and cuddled closer, which was a bad idea on his part. Techno began tickling him, earning loud laughter and screams from Tommy. 
Phil and Wilbur looked at each other at the same time, then quickly poking their heads out of the kitchen to see what was causing the disturbance. Wilbur sighed in relief at the sight of the three of you laughing, going back to the kitchen just as quick leaving Phil who stayed put a little longer. He couldn't stop the massive smile from spreading to his face and the warm feeling rising. Wilbur called out for Phil who, with one last glance, returned to the kitchen
Once Tommy calmed down from his hysteria Techno put on some Avatar, also slowly scooting closer to you. Upon noticing you smiled softly and put your arm lightly around his shoulders. Techno’s face heated up, not really used to this closeness. He could say he didn’t like it but he wasn’t really the one for lying. 
After one episode Wilbur started setting the table, quickly eyeing the three of you, a mixture of shock and pride on his face. He didn’t know how his brother managed it, but he was impressed. “Dinner’s nearly ready.” he told them, getting nods in response. Tommy had fallen asleep after all, so you attempted to wake him up. Attempted being the key word, he was still half asleep when you took a seat at the dinner table. “Tommy, you know you can’t have dessert without eating dinner right?” Phil told him and Tommy quickly woke up, climbing off your lap to his own chair. The two other brothers and you were laughing but Phil quickly shushed all of you and told you what was for dinner, “Roast veggies, roast potatoes and steak!”
He gave everyone their portions, everyone also immediately digging in. You complimented him, it was really good. Phil thanked you, soon the room filled with conversation and laughs. 
~
“Dessert time!!” Tommy exclaimed excitedly as everyone finished up their dinner and cleared off the table. You chuckled and walked to the kitchen with Phil. While he was boiling the water and grabbing the cups and plates, you took the container from the fridge and started placing them on little plates.
“Surprise!” Phil said as you two walked out of the kitchen, both holding a tray. All of the boys went quiet, excited and curious. You put your tray down, earning wow’s from Techno, Wilbur and Tommy. “Tech! Look, they’re like galaxies!” Tommy said and Techno laughed, “yeah they are. They look great (Y/N).” You smiled, really happy that Tommy recognized them. “You‘ve done a great job, these look incredible.” Wilbur said and you thanked him while handing out the plates with the cupcakes. Phil filled up the tea cups and soon new conversation was flowing. Wilbur asked a few questions, curious about the person his brother was in love with. You answered all of them happily, Techno butting in when the questions were school related. 
It didn't take long before more embarrassing childhood stories were told, all of you laughing, Techno tallying the times Wilbur embarrassed him in his head for later payback. Tommy was telling you about how he told his best friend Tubbo about galaxies as well and that he loved them too. You tried not to physically melt and told him to invite him over so you could draw together. Tommy got so excited he jumped off his chair and started running around the house, the remaining at the table laughing again. You took a glance at the clock, caught off guard by the way time had flown by. 
“I hate to be that person but I’m afraid I have to get going.” you said, getting understanding nods from everyone. Tommy abruptly stopped and dramatically huffed. He dragged himself back to his chair and sat down with a big pout. “Hey don’t worry bud, I’m sure (Y/N) will be back soon.” Phil said to him, making him look at you hopefully. “Yeah I will! Don’t worry about it too much, okay big man?” you smiled and he nodded, getting up and giving you a hug. Phil glanced at Techno, watching his expression change to pure and absolute adoration. It made Phil happy, even if he never knew what it truly felt like. The happy sparkles that Techno’s eyes held whenever you were there were enough. 
Wilbur and Techno cleaned up the table, you had offered to help but your attempts were quickly shut down. You glared at the pair when they walked away, making Phil laugh. Your gaze shifted to Phil, now also glaring at him. He only laughed harder, making Tommy giggle as well. You tried your hardest not to break but when Tommy began laughing as well you broke and laughed along with them.
“Are you going to ask them out?” Wilbur asked Techno, catching the latter off guard. “What? Ask them out? Like to be my partner?” Techno replied and Wilbur nodded. “I-I don’t know. That’s a big step. What if they don't like me and I ruin our friendship? What if they don't want to be friends anymore because they’ll think it’s- I’m weird? What if-” Techno rambled before Wilbur cut him off. “Dude. Do you need new glasses? You two look at each other like you are each other’s world and were literally cuddling on the couch earlier. You said they made a playlist for you right?”, Techno nodded, “well there you have your answer. Trust me, they feel the same.” He was still processing what Wilbur said when he heard your laugh and automatically smiled. Wilbur noticed and chuckled, “you’re so whipped for them, I can’t believe it. What happened with the ‘I’m independent I don’t need anyone ever’ Techno?”
Techno quickly smacked the back of Wilbur’s head before he could get more words out, making Wilbur laugh. Techno rolled his eyes, put away the dishes and walked back to the kitchen table. You smiled at him, getting up to grab your bag and jacket. Meanwhile Wilbur also came back from the kitchen, with your container in hand. “Oh thank you, I completely forgot about that,” you chuckled, “also thanks for letting me stay over again.” “No problem (Y/N), truly. Thank you for the cupcakes, they were really good.” Phil said, “and really pretty!” Tommy added and you giggled, thanking them and saying your goodbyes. 
Techno walked with you to the door, thinking about what Wilbur had said in the kitchen. “Thank you for inviting me, it was a lot of fun.” you told him, interrupting his train of thoughts. “Of course, you’re welcome here any time. I think Tommy likes you more than he likes his own brothers.” he said and you laughed, “impossible. I’m sure he would love watching Avatar with you as well.” He shrugged, “I do prefer watching it with you though.” 
Your cheeks flushed red and a smile crept up on your face. “Well, let’s watch more together soon then.” you said to which he quickly agreed to. He couldn’t wait to have your arm around him again. His cheeks heated up and he quickly looked down.
“I really do have to go though, my parents will kill me if I come home too late.” you said and he nodded, eyes still on the ground. You leaned in to kiss his cheek, just as he looked up to say goodbye. Noticing it on time, you quickly stopped, eyes wide and cheeks flushed. It didn’t help much, both of your faces now inches apart. His face held the same reaction, his heart racing. He thought back to what Phil and Wilbur had said and decided, fuck it, as he leaned in to close the gap and kiss you. You stiffened for a second, you’d silently hope this would happen but were still surprised. Techno noticed and quickly pulled back, apologizing profusely. You tried to tell him it was more than okay, you were just caught off guard but he kept cutting you off with apologies. You shook your head, leaning in again and kissing him. He finally shut up and kissed back, his hands now on your waist and yours on his cheeks. 
Techno pulled back again, looking into your eyes. You raised your eyebrow, wondering why he all of sudden stopped. “I- uhm, well,” he stuttered, your hands dropped to his cheek and he sighed, it was now or never. “Do you- Would you want to be my partner?” he asked quietly. Your eyes widened, shock taking over your expression. Was this real? The boy you’ve been loving since you could remember felt the same? You were brought back to reality by his hands leaving your waist and his mouth opening to apologize. “Yes. Yes I’d love to.” you quickly said, making the biggest smile ever cross Techno’s face. “Really?” he asked and you nodded while laughing, feeling all giddy and happy. He engulfed you in his arms, giving you the biggest hug ever. The two of you stayed like that for a few moments, before Techno let you go making you frown. He chuckled, “I know dear, but I don’t want your parents to kill either of us.” “Yeah I guess you’re right. I’ll text you when I get home.” you said before giving him a quick kiss and turning around to walk away. “Bye (Y/N), be careful!” Techno said while waving. “I will!” you told him and waved back with a smile. Holy shit. 
Techno closed the door and leaned against it. Did that really just happen? His heart and stomach were doing backflips. He smiled to himself, you were his partner now.
His smile hadn’t toned down when he walked back to the rest of his family, who were impatiently waiting on him. “And?” “So?” Phil and Wilbur said at the same time, making Techno laugh. “We- I- We’re together now.” he told them, earning the loudest cheers he’s ever heard. “Congratulations man! I’m proud of you.” Phil told him and Techno thanked him, sitting down on the couch with them. “Did you ask them?” Wilbur asked and Techno nodded. “Dude! Congrats. What happened?” He asked and Techno told them everything that happened. 
Tommy, who was supposed to be asleep in his bed, came downstairs after hearing the cheering. “What’s going on?” he asked sleepily and Techno chuckled, “(Y/N) and I are dating.” he answered and the blonde nodded, “does that mean they’ll come over more?” he asked. “I think so, yeah.” Techno told him and Tommy nodded again, walking over to his family and sitting next to Techno. “C’mon, let’s go upstairs. You need to sleep and I need to check if (Y/N) is home safely.” Techo said to Tommy after picking him up and saying to goodnight to his dad and older brother. “Can I say goodnight to them?” Tommy asked and Techno nodded, taking him to his room. He started up his computer, happy to see a message from you. He quickly typed a response before video calling you and putting his headset on Tommy. 
You answered the call almost right away, aww’ing when you saw Tommy with the big headset on. “Hey big man, shouldn’t you be sleeping?” you said and he nodded, “yes but I woke up because they were all being loud and then Techno was going to talk to you and I wanted to say goodnight.” Techno smiled softly, kind of bummed he couldn’t hear your replies. “Awe that’s not good. Next time you just punch Techno lightly and he’ll be quiet.” you said to Tommy, making him giggle mischievously. Techno raised his eyebrow at both of you, that didn’t seem good. “I will. Goodnight (Y/N)!” Tommy said while waving. “Goodnight! Sleep well and sweet dreams.” you smiled and waved back. “I’ll be right back.” Techno said into the headset as he put it down and went to put Tommy in his bed.
After a few minutes he was back, “hey love.” he said as he put on his headset. “Gosh!” you sighed, making Techno laugh. “Please give me an announcement next time, I think I just lost 10 years of my life.” you said, Techno only laughing harder. “I will, I will, sorry.” he smiled. The two of you talked all night, switching to your phones when it became too late. You fell asleep first, Techno chuckling when he heard your soft snores. “Goodnight, (Y/N).” he whispered, before falling asleep himself.

Before Our Story Began
Lee Donghyuck/Haechan X Reader | Smut, Fluff | 7.4k | College AU Summary: The popular new kid at your campus has this habit of raising his eyebrows when he flirts and you just realized that maybe you have a kink for it.
It has the same setting as my previous Mark Lee X Reader’s stories (Our First Time and Drunk Antics) but if you’re not into Mark (I’m not judging but what is wrong with you) you can just skip those two because this story can be read separately. 
Tumblr media
Before dating the socially-awkward, yet utterly adorable Mark Lee, you have had your fair share of relationships that are now reduced into the form of awkward friendships. Your last boyfriend was Lee Donghyuck—who also publicly known as Haechan—and that fact does not sit well with Mark, because well, they were the best of friends. They still are, but it feels like they’re walking on thin ice whenever you’re in the picture so you try your best to stay away from your ex just to make sure everything is all right with the three of you.
Which is quite weird, knowing how close you were with Haechan before.
It was weird in the beginning, but fate really did play a major role in your relationship. You were in your second year of college and you’d managed to pull yourself together by that time, though you hadn’t really made any real friends yet. You weren’t aware of Mark’s existence either at that point, though he probably had with him being your long-time secret admirer after all. You were too busy trying to adapt to the new college and dormitory life, as well as trying to keep your grades up, that you could barely spend some time socializing with people. Project partners and study buddies were really as far as you could go with the term of friendship during your first year.
Your relationship didn’t exactly start as friends with Lee Donghyuck. Even though he had made tons of friends since his orientation days in college, you were certainly not one of them. You didn’t even know he existed in your world, and neither did he. Younger than both you and Mark, Haechan shone like the sun almost in every aspect of his life and unlike you, people had surely noticed that because he was academically smart, physically good-looking, very social and adventurously funny. It didn’t take long before he became popular at your campus. So popular, in fact, that you heard chatters of his name when you walked down the campus’ hallway with your textbooks in your arms. You had only known his name but not his face, so you didn’t really feel nervous or overly excited like any other girls would’ve probably had when you accidentally sat next to him during public speaking class and saw that he had a silly note stuck on his back, pressed against his black hoodie.
“Hey,” you called, loud enough for him to hear but quiet enough so the people around you wouldn’t notice. “You’ve got something on your back.”
The boy was young, and he had the smoothest golden skin you’d ever seen on a boy. You would probably kill to have his perfect sun-kissed skin. He had slightly chubby cheeks and a mop of dark brown hair with bangs falling over his eyes. He was slouching forward in his seat with his arms draped over his table, staring lifelessly at the board. His lower lip was jutting out in boredom and slight annoyance, reminding you of a five-year-old boy missing his favorite cartoon. He threw a glance to the side, looking at you with big, chocolate brown eyes, and his eyebrows raised in question.
“What?” He asked and you pointed to the back of his hoodie with your pen.
“I won’t judge if it’s the kind of thing you’re into,” you said, “but I don’t think placing a note behind your back with the words Spank Me, Mama, written on it is the best way to actually, you know, get it.”
He blushed and he blushed so hard that it made you think huh, he’s kinda cute, but you buried the thought right away. You had promised yourself to focus better that year. Falling head over heels for a fellow student on the first day of your new term was not the right way to do it.
“Right, thanks.” He struggled with the note, reaching behind his back as if his skin was on fire. You were about to help when he finally snatched the paper and read the words under his breath, eyes widening in shock.
“I assume that’s not your handwriting?” You were amused but tried your best not to tease him so much.
He did this pout that actually kind of fit his face, probably because he still had that baby face going on. Most of the guys you knew would look immensely disgusting if they pulled that kind of pout. Take your brother, Johnny, for example. Even the thought of him doing that already made you feel like punching your fist against a wall.
“I would weep myself to sleep if my handwriting was this bad,” he grumbled and you smiled secretly to yourself. He turned to you, an awkward grin painting his face. “Sorry, my friends are assholes. Do you happen to know a swamp nearby where I can dump dead bodies without being found out?”
You nod. “I know a place but it’s no longer free, though. They charge you, like, ten thousand won per body. Which is why I’m broke.”
His timid grin grew into a bright smile, probably feeling quite elated that somebody shared the same type of dumb humor as him. “I’m Lee Donghyuck.” He sneaked a hand under a table and you took it for a handshake, answering him with your name. “Thanks for saving my life.”
“Most welcome. You can save me back later when I have the words spank me, daddy, glued to my back.”
“So your friends are assholes too?”
“It’s what people have in common these days, I suppose.”
But when your professor spoke louder to make sure he didn’t any other noise in the room except his own, you had to cut your conversation short and only threw small grins at him every now and then.
When the class ended, you both parted ways with nothing more than a small wave of a hand and a casual, “Well, I guess, I’ll see you later.” You thought it would be too weird to get even friendlier than that, and he probably did too. You admitted that he was cute, but not cute enough for you to ditch your next class and make out with him in the nearest parking lot. You thought you were going to see him again soon anyway, probably the next week when the same class started.
And you were right, but you wished you weren’t because Donghyuck came back to your class the following week looking like a full-course meal.
Donghyuck probably had his hair cut short somewhere on the weekend and it looked absolutely fucking perfect on his head. His bangs were no longer hiding his eyes, and it was clear to you then that Donghyuck with his forehead seen, combined with those thick beautiful eyebrows and mesmerizing round eyes, were really something to behold.
He didn’t notice you were already in the class when he walked in, with his bag slinging on one shoulder. Some rowdy boys were shouting at the back of the room, “Haechan-ah, over here! Saved you a seat!” And Donghyuck grinned at them, waving his hand before he walked toward their seats and you thought Lee Donghyuck is Haechan?! That Haechan?! And mentally slapped yourself on the face when the flashback hit you. You had the chance to talk to one of the most popular boys in school and you talked about swamp and dead bodies.
Absolutely fucking perfect.
After you managed to collect yourself, you couldn’t hold back this urge to sneak a few glances to the back of the class, trying to catch a glimpse of that beautiful forehead of his—which you realized by then that you had some kind of a kink for it—without having him notice you.
But he did. He did notice every time you tried to secretly stare and he reciprocated each time with a smile, raising one of his eyebrows almost dangerously seductive at you and you thought goddamn if that wasn’t the sexiest thing I’ve seen in my twenty years of living I don’t know what is.
You offered your best effort to stay fucking calm despite everything that had been going on in your head, waving one hand at him with a small—hopefully not creepy—smile on your face. You immediately turned around right after, swallowing your breath, and tried not to vomit because your stomach felt like it was about to lurch out of your mouth. It wasn’t really an unpleasant feeling; it was just kind of new to you and you loathed the way your heart was slamming against your ribcages.
Okay, you mentally calmed yourself, get a hold of yourself. No need to panic. He’s just another cute boy, with a cute haircut, and a cute smirk, and a cute forehead and—
You really didn’t like where it was going.
When the class ended—and you didn’t learn a thing about it—you shoved your iPad back into your bag and let out the loudest sigh you had ever made in your sorry life.
“Bad day?”
Haechan’s voice was next to your ear and though you only jerked slightly on the outside, most of your soul had actually gone to heaven—or hell, from all those dirty thoughts you had about him during the last two hours of that lecture.
“Yeah,” you cooly replied. Thank God, your voice didn’t betray you. “My swamp is full again. I have to start looking for a new place.”
AM I SERIOUSLY TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER FUCKING SWAMP—
But Haechan was laughing about it, not too much but the amusement on his face was genuine. “It’s cute that you remember our previous conversation.”
“It’s cute that you do too.”
“Well, actually, that’s what I’ve been thinking about for the last week,” he told you with a smirk on his face. You dared to bet on your life that he was flirting with you and you were about to scream out of joy but you reminded yourself to play it cool.
“I don’t think it’s a conversation worth remembering,” you commented nonchalantly.
“Not if I had it with anyone else.”
You almost fell from your seat. “On second thought, it was a pretty interesting conversation, what with the—”
“Noona.” He suddenly leaned close, laying one hand on your desk to prop his weight. There was that smirk again—the one with his eyebrow raised. “I’m trying to flirt with you and ask you out on a date, if you haven’t noticed.”
Your tongue felt heavy in your mouth and you could hear your own heartbeat in your ears at that point. You had thought about it—about him asking you out—but your imagination did not do justice on how smooth and confident or how goddamn attractive he looked in real life. “Oh.”
“Oh.” He imitated, smirking a bit wider and you were dazed with how bright he shone. “So, can I take you out for lunch? Not anywhere close to swamps full of dead bodies, I swear.” Then after a small pause, he added, “Unless, that’s what you’re into.”
“Shut up,” you retorted, standing up and gathering all your belongings into your arms. “You’re paying.”
He laughed softly to himself, trailing after you with a cheeky grin on his face. “This swamp thing could be our thing, though.”
“Shut up.”
***
Haechan was not one to take it slow, you remember, which is way different from how Mark does things with you.
It wasn’t like Haechan was overly aggressive—as far as boys go, he was pretty normal about the whole dating and sex thing—but he really just head straight to the point whenever he had something in mind, whether it was by a sudden change of topic in your conversation, or acting it out directly with his body.
While Mark tends to plan things, Haechan just did everything out on a whim. You could be talking about science fiction movies at a cafe at one point, and ended up with having your clothes soaked with water by the next few hours because he suddenly felt like the day was too hot and jumping into the campus pool fully clothed was a good idea. You weren’t sure why you’d said yes to all of that when you just barely knew him but Haechan could be very persuasive. So dangerously so, that you would probably say yes to anything.
It was on your third date when he suddenly bent his head down and cut you in the middle of your sentence with a kiss. It was only a small peck, a quick pressing of his plump lips against yours, but it still managed to literally stop you from breathing for a good couple of seconds.
“Sorry,” he said, pulling away with his eyes still staring at your lips. “I was… distracted.”
You knew it was lust in his eyes and you were familiar with yourself enough to know that you usually preferred to have your first kiss after you knew the guy for a certain amount of time. But Haechan—the way he sometimes stared at your lips for a millisecond while you were talking, or hugged you for a few seconds too long before you parted ways—really made you feel special. Made you feel… wanted. And it had been a long time since someone made you feel that way.
So it really didn’t come too much of a surprise that when he dipped his head down to kiss you again, you responded with as much passion as he emitted. You didn’t care that both of you were still standing in the middle of your co-ed dorm’s hallway, though it was empty from how late it was. You had your fingers tangled in his hair as you tiptoed and leaned your entire weight to his body, making him inhale sharply and curl his fingers around the fabric of your dress.
“Again,” he breathed when you pulled away for a split second and immediately brought you back to him again. Haechan had one arm around your waist and another one holding your face, angling your head to the side so he could kiss you deeper.
Haechan was a good kisser—so frighteningly so that it made you feel conscious of how inexperienced you were compared to him. And with the way his hands were moving around your body, you could tell that things were going a bit too fast.
“Haechan—”
The hand that you laid on his chest to give you both some space, was brought over your head as he pressed your body against the door of your room. He kissed you harder, almost knocking your head against the wooden surface, and you could taste the flavor of the lollipop he had on his way back to your dorm. His scent was intoxicating in the best way possible, numbing your mind from thinking how this could probably end up in a bad decision.
“Haechan-ah, wait,” you gasped against his mouth, and when he did, pulling away from you for a few inches to catch his own breath, you noticed that even if you managed to stop him, you probably wouldn’t sound very convincing.
It was really fortunate that although Haechan was a man of passion, he still had the patience to make your consent his priority. “Too fast?” He asked, warm breath fanning against your lips and you really wanted to just close those few inches between you and be smothered with his kisses again.
So you did, and you could feel him smirking into the kiss. The way he slipped his tongue between your mouth made your knees buckle underneath your weight so you clutched onto him as if you were hanging to dear life. Haechan formed this low grunt at the back of his throat that made your skin tingle in delight, knowing that you had that kind of effect on him.
But really, something still didn’t feel right.
“Do you want to stop?” He asked, noticing how you fidgeted uncomfortably under his touch. He looked like stopping at this point would be the last thing he wanted to do but he still gave you the space you needed.
You nodded your head slowly at his question. Haechan looked like he had to put his best effort to gain control of his body and move away from you, and you could totally relate at that point, actually. You weren’t really sure why did you even stop him before. It just felt like the right thing to do but at the same time, it was the last thing you wanted to do.
“Haechannie—"
“I’m sorry,” he said, taking a step away from you and releasing you from his hold. You were surprised by the fact that you almost fell down to the floor when he wasn’t holding you.
“No, don’t be—it was, umm,” You cleared your throat. The collar of your knitted sweater suddenly felt too tight. “It was good.”
“Good?” Haechan asked, smirking as he raised an eyebrow and you thought fuck there’s that look again and you cursed inwardly a few more times for feeling so whipped for his little, seductive eyebrow raise. “I thought that was more than good, Noona.”
“Probably for you,” you wanted to tease but you could hear your voice crack at the end.
“Oh, really?”
And he kissed you again because he never wanted to lose his game. He knew he already had you wrapped under his fingers; he just wanted to make you succumb to him. To have you say how amazing his touches really felt on your skin because he was just that kind of a guy.
And he was winning. Your reaction was exactly the way he wanted you to be, arching your back under his touch, pressing your chest against his, tongue darting out to taste the inside of his mouth better and longer.
“No, wait, timeout.” You pushed him away again and you noticed that his hair was a mess from the work of your fingers and weirdly enough, it only made him ten thousand times hotter.
“Noona, you’re torturing me.” He whined against your shoulder, playfully biting the skin over your clothes. “Do you want me to stop or not?”
Haechan had the habit of whining when things didn’t go his way. It was immature and it would probably look childishly annoying on someone else, but it only made him  that much more adorable. Still annoying most of the time, but always adorable.
“I’m sorry.” You were torn between feeling bad or laughing about it because my God, look at that pout. “Maybe a five-minute break? I could make you some coffee. My roommate is away for the weekend.”
He sighed, the pout on his lips grew even more apparent. “You’re inviting me to your room? At this hour? After this?”
“I’m not going to have sex with you tonight, Lee Donghyuck, just to be clear.”
“Which is the more reason why you shouldn’t be inviting me over then!”
You laughed because his voice was becoming quite high-pitched. “Are you so incapable of using your brain instead of your dick?”
“Noonaaaaa~” He threw his head back in exasperation, which gave you the chance to ogle at the column of his throat. “Seriously, is torturing guys at the end of a date your sick hobby or something?”
“Look, if you stay over, we can still make-out.” You throw a smirk at him, unlocked your door and pushed it wide open. “And I make the most amazing coffee, trust me.”
“Fine,” he exhaled, walking into your room with a suppressed smile on his face. “And I’m only here for coffee, nothing more. Making-out with you is just a bonus.” And you found yourself giggling like a child as he cradled you into his arms and pushed you down to your bed because you both knew, it was the other way around.
***
About a month later, a similar situation happened again and there was no getting out of it.
It started with Haechan coming over to your room on a Sunday afternoon. Your roommate was staying over at her boyfriend’s place again for the weekend, so you had the room to yourself for the entire day. Haechan came unplanned and he’d brought his MacBook with him because, “I know myself well enough that I’d end up playing Overwatch instead of working on my assignment, so could you please be a responsible adult and force me to do my work even if I start crying at your feet?”
Haechan was always the dramatic one in your relationship but you nodded your head and let him in. You brought over some snacks and made him coffee like usual—which he always replied with, “Noona, I don’t want to sound like an ungrateful boyfriend but this coffee tastes like shi—” but was always finished with a pillow smacked to his face, a form of your courtesy.
You were working on your own papers too, sitting on the carpeted floor with your back pressed against the foot of your bed and a MacBook resting on your lap. Your textbooks were sprawled all over the place, and Haechan was lying down on your bed, head falling over the edge. He was looking at his phone, his thumb running up and down the screen.
“Noona?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m bored.”
“Aren’t you supposed to work on your assignment?”
“Finished it already.”
You threw a look over your shoulder, glancing to see him lounging on your bed as if it was his own. Haechan already had his MacBook closed, and was looking at you upside down with a completely bored look on his face. You knew he was smart, but you didn’t know he was that smart when he really put his mind to it.
“Well, that was fast,” you commented.
“No, you’re just doing it painfully slow.”
“Well, sorry for not being as smart as you,” you mumbled, even though you weren’t really annoyed about it. Haechan  huffed and walked closer, sitting closely right behind you, and trapping you between his legs.
“You’re the smartest girl I’ve ever met, though,” he said, wrapping his arms around your waist. “What are you working on exactly?”
“I don’t even know, honestly,” you sighed, leaning against his chest, dropping your head on his shoulder. “You wanna order some take-out?”
“Can I eat you for dinner instead?”
“Was that a sex joke, Lee Donghyuck?”
“Could be, if you’re interested.” You could see him wiggling his eyebrows from his reflection on your standing mirror. Both of you looked adorable, if you could say so yourself, wearing a matching white shirt (though not on purpose) and enjoying each other’s warmth with Haechan’s arms wrapped protectively around your figure. You sighed as you admired the sight of Haechan’s features in the mirror.
“Have I told you how sexy you look with your hair pushed back like this?” You asked, reaching out to touch some of his strands and he followed your gaze, looking at his own reflection in the mirror.
“Huh.” He seemed surprised. “It’s the first time you said that actually. What else do you think is sexy about me?”
“Promise you won’t get cocky about it if I tell you?”
“Can’t. You know how I am.”
You sighed but you succumbed to his wish. He praised you from time to time, it was only fair for you to do the same. “The way you dance.”
“You saw me dance?”
“Hm-hmm.”
“When?”
“That time when we went to Jaemin’s party. You were dancing to Billy Jean.”
“You saw that?!” He was flustered, scarlet painting his cheeks and ears. “That was—I thought you were in the bathroom!”
“Well, I was going to but then I saw you and kinda had to stop and stare for a little. You dance more with your hips than with your hands, do you know that? It was kinda hot.”
And just like that, the flabbergasted look on his face was immediately replaced with that Godforsaken cocky smirk again. “Were you turned on back then because of me?”
“A little. Or maybe I just really had to pee.”
“You should’ve said something, you know.”
“And then what? Have sex with you in Jaemin’s room? No freaking way.”
“We could’ve used my car. My hips could do so much more than just dancing, you know.”
“You’re disgusting.” You elbowed him slightly on the stomach to stop him from giggling, before you focused back on your MacBook. “Now, shoo, my boy. Mommy’s gotta work.”
Haechan had his chin on one of your shoulders. “But Noona~”
“I’m studying.”
“I’m bored~” He whined like the baby that he was, nuzzling his nose against the crook of your neck and you flinched slightly when his breath tickled your skin. “Can we make-out? Please pretty pleaseeeee~”
“Give me half an hour to finish this real quick—”
“Noonaaaaaaa~”
“What?” You were trapped between laughing and acting annoyed about it. “I seriously need to study. Didn’t you tell me to be a responsible adult for today?”
“You could also be a responsible adult by making-out with me though.” He chuckled to himself. “We could do adult things if you—”
“No,” you firmly stated though your smile kept on appearing on your face. You pushed a palm against his cheek, playfully shoving him away. “Now, go away, Dongsookie, I really have to study.”
“Fine,” he exhaled loudly against your shoulder and you could practically feel his pout growing on his face. He didn’t let you go, though. He kind of just sat there behind you, still circling his arms around your waist as he lazily stared at the words you were typing on the keyboard. You had trouble concentrating with the way you could feel every time he took in a breath from how close his chest was pressed against your spine but eventually you got the hang of it.
You were already working on your third page when Haechan suddenly had his lips on the side of your neck, lazily suckling on the skin until you could no longer ignore him.
“Haechannie.”
“Hmm?”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m playing a game,” he murmured against your skin, licking at the soft skin before he nibbled at it with his teeth. “It’s called how fast can I distract my girlfriend from working over a stupid assignment instead of spending time with me.”
“But I am spending time with you, though.”
“You know what I mean.”
And you had to bite your lip because he had a certain kind of pressure on his words that made your skin tingle in anticipation. His lips were soft but scorching hot as he drew bruises on your skin and it felt so good and dangerous at the same time. It was like standing on a bridge made of glass, both exciting and terrifying.
“You know what I think is sexy about you?” He quietly asked, one hand running down your body, slipping under your shirt and hovering dangerously close to your bra. “The way you say my name when we kiss,” he continued, adding a soft moan when he latched his lips around your earlobe.
You shivered, feeling heat growing on your cheeks. “Haechannie—”
“Yes, like that,” he chuckled, his voice suddenly became deeper. “You’re so sexy, you’re driving me insane.”
You tried your best to ignore him, you really did. But the second he had his warm mouth against your lips, his fingers grabbing your face almost forcefully to turn towards him, you just lost it and you found yourself crawling into his lap, tangling your legs around his waist and moaning against his mouth as he was against yours.
“Noona,” he sighed when you kissed down his neck, as if your every touch was a gift that he craved more and more. He shuddered slightly when you had your hand under his shirt and as if you just pushed the wrong button, he suddenly picked you up by the waist, shoved your textbooks away with one swipe of the back of his hand, and laid you down on the carpeted floor in one swift motion.
“If you keep doing that,” he breathed out heavily, eyes glazed as he stared at your kiss swollen lips. “I won’t be able to stop, even if you beg me to.”
You weren’t sure what came over you but you found yourself hooking your fingers around his necklace and brought his face down, whispering, “Then don’t stop,” directly against his lips.
It was all rush and passion and Haechan was not wasting even a second away before he began to undress you, removing each clothing very easily and you secretly wondered just how many times had he done this before from how smooth he unclasped your bra with one flick of his finger.
He pulled his shirt over his head, his silver necklace hanging loosely around his neck. “Tell me if I’m being too fast,” he said, before he climbed on top of you, throwing the piece of clothing away without a care. Your heart jumped at the sight of him, knowing how this could lead to something more but couldn’t really stop him. Not with the way he had his hands reaching down from the valley of your breasts, down to your stomach, his fingers brushing above the hem of your jeans.
His kiss was always breathtaking, to say the least, but it was a bit different this time because it felt like he was losing control of himself. His kiss was almost forceful, his teeth roughly nibbling at your lower lip before he moved down your chin and found his place in the crook of your neck again. His hand was on your chest, cupping you fully with his palm and let out this sexy groan when he felt you gasping his name against his mouth.
“Fuck, you’re just doing that on purpose now, aren’t you?” He hissed, eyes clouded with lust. He peppered kisses down your chest, lips hovering above your nipple when he said, “You’re being cruel, Noona.” You were tugging at his dark locks when he placed it between his lips, sucking at the sensitive spot, and you tried to hold back your moan but failing every time.
Haechan was giggling to himself, his tongue flicking around the bud. “The way you’re reacting to me is so cute. I didn’t know you were this sensitive.” He ran his tongue across his lower lip, staring at you like he wanted to ravish every part of you, which he probably did. “You’re so goddamn cute.”
“Haechannie.”
“Yeah?”
“I won’t be needing that kind of commentary ever again in the future, thanks,” you uttered, trying your best to focus on his touch and not his words because Haechan could be annoyingly talkative sometimes.
He chuckled again, moving along to land a few kisses on your stomach. “If you’re that sensitive here, how sensitive will you be if I touch you right over…” He trailed a finger down from your belly button to the edge of your underwear. His eyes twinkled gleefully before he rubbed your clit over your underwear. “…here?”
You gave your best strength to stay sane but Haechan’s giggle over your reaction only tortured you even further. “Stop playing around,” you hissed under your breath, pretty sure that you were blushing from ear to ear.
“Playing?” Haechan grinned tauntingly, “I’m being pretty serious, though.” He spread your legs, kissing the inner part of your trembling thigh before he hovered dangerously close to the point you could feel his breath down there. You couldn’t help but gulp in anticipation and Haechan knew that. He knew how much you wanted him to take off your underwear and eat you out like it’s his last meal.
But of course, being the little fucking devil that he was, Haechan only threw you his usual smirk and said, “You know I’d do anything for you, right, Noona? You just gotta beg for it.”
“No way.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t know.” He faked a pout. “I’m younger than you, you know. I need you to teach me these things.”
You reciprocated by kicking him right on his abs because as desperate as you were, there was no way in hell you were going to grovel at his feet, begging for him to please you. “All right, all right, I’m sorry, geez!” Haechan said, laughing as he successfully dodged two of your first kicks. Soon after, he grabbed your moving legs, carefully placed them on his sides and ran his hands slowly from your legs to your thighs. He took a long glance at your body, sighing like it was some kind of beautiful torture for him to take. “You don’t even realize how hot you are, do you?” He leaned closer and grabbed you by your chin, locking both of your gazes together. “Do you even know how hard I am right now because of you?”
It was a rhetorical question, clearly, because you could definitely tell how hard and hot he was pressing against you, even if his jeans and your underwear were still on the way.
“God, just—” you gasped when he slipped a knee between your legs, pressing it against your core. “Just stop being a fucking tease and fuck me already, Donghyuck.”
And he grinned against your skin. “Fucking finally.” You heard him say under his breath, before he carried you in his arms and moved you to the bed. It felt somewhat scary, how fast he was being, because you had only experienced sex once and it was the painfully awkward kind of sex with your high school boyfriend and you didn’t really have the chance to practice it with anyone else while it seemed to you, at this point, was clearly not the case for him.
Haechan had his eyes on you, all half-lidded with lust and passion, as he unbuckled the belt of his jeans and you had to gulp at the sight. He didn’t really have six-pack abs like Jaehyun—considering your boyfriend was quite an athlete during his senior days—but his shoulders were broad, his chest was toned, his stomach was lean and his skin, as it glistened slightly with sweat, was just absolutely breathtaking.
“Enjoying the view?” He asked, and you knew how he’d always been cocky in his entire life, but he’d never been this cocky. “You’re practically drooling.”
“I am not,” you retorted but you lacked confidence. Haechan grabbed a condom from the pocket of his jeans before he climbed back into the bed with his jeans unbuttoned.
“Why do you already have a condom with you?”
“Because I came prepared.”
“I thought you said you wanted to study.”
“Among other things,” he grinned against your lips and shushed down your next protest. “I will be studying your body, if you give me the chance.”
“That was so lame.” But even your insult couldn’t mask how nervous you sounded, especially when Haechan was settling himself between your legs again, fingers hooking around your underwear.
“Final chance if you want me to stop, Noona,” he said though it felt like it was almost impossible for him to stop. “I’m serious. After this, I won’t stop even if you cry.”
You swallowed your breath, heart thrumming loud against your chest. “Just do whatever you want,” you answered, almost too quiet for even your ears to hear but Haechan’s eyes gleamed in anticipation.
“That’s my girl,” he said, grabbing your thighs and spreading your legs apart before he leaned in to taste your mouth again. “I’ll be gentle, don’t worry.”
You realized you were holding your breath when Haechan wrapped the condom around his length and he had his eyes on you before he pushed in, asking with an unexpected low voice of his, “Ready?”
But he did not wait for an answer and you found yourself hissing when he pushed in, slowly at first and suddenly all at once. You twisted your fingers against the bed sheet, biting your lower lip because it hurt trying to adjust to his size and Haechan was a little bit lost in his own thoughts, muttering, “Fuck, you’re so tight,” under his breath, slightly throwing his head back out of pleasure. “Noona, you’re so fucking tight. Do you know that?”
He leaned closer to you, chest pressing against your breasts as he mouthed against the skin of your shoulder and slowly began to move his hips. “You all right?” He asked, making eye contact after a while and you shakily nodded your head, though the pain was still there. “Then I’ll move faster.”
You almost hit your head against your headboard when he suddenly picked up the pace, thrusting into you hard and deep; it knocked the breath out of your lungs. “Haecha—” you could barely speak at that point, arms clutching tight to his back, nails raking against his spine.
“Fuck,” he uttered between heavy breaths as he sat on his knees, holding both of your legs in the air, almost splitting your body in half and pushed deeper. “How the fuck do you feel this good, I—” he ended his sentence short, kissing your ankle instead, his eyes never leaving yours. “I wanna keep you—you’re so pretty like this, Noona—so fucking pretty—”
Haechan was always good with his words but at that time, he was making incoherent noises at the back of his throat, jumping from one sentence to another as if he was thinking about several things at once and he was running out of time.
“Haechan, wait—s-slow down—” You placed a hand on his shoulder, tears forming in your eyes. “You’re moving too fast—It hurts—”
Haechan was unfocused, but the last two words that slipped from your mouth brought him back to reality. He stopped almost immediately, looking at you with eyes searching your face. “Does it hurt?” He asked and you nodded, your body shaking a little bit. His gaze softened, cupping your cheek in his hand before he slowly pulled out of you. “I’m sorry, come here.” He cradled you into his arms, sitting down on the bed and helped you climb into his lap. “Maybe if we do it this way,” he said, wiping a tear from your eye with his thumb, “You’ll feel better?”
You could feel him twitching below you, the tip of his cock pressing against your folds. Haechan stayed true to his promise, he wasn’t going to stop even if you cried and that’s fine because you didn’t want him to.
“Take your time,” Haechan said, smiling gently in a way that was so not him that it made you feel weird. You could tell that he was trying to keep himself calm and composed even when all he wanted to do was to fuck you senselessly.
He pushed inside again, but let you take control of the pace this time. You slid down slowly, wincing slightly at the friction but it no longer hurt as much. Haechan was staring at you the entire time, unconsciously licking his lower lip when you slowly began to bounce on his lap.
“Kiss me,” he demanded and you did, sharing his breath and his moans, and tangling your hands in his hair. When he felt your body relaxing against him, he grabbed you by the waist and suddenly thrust forward, making you gasp and clenched your legs together.
“Fuck,” he moaned under his breath, hissing at how perfect you felt around him. “Noona, you can be mad at me as much as you want after this but for now let me just—” he groaned, furrowing his eyebrows at the feeling of him sliding in and out of you. “Just let me fuck you the way I want.”
And you found yourself thrown back to the bed with him thrusting into you deep and raw, faster and much more forceful than before. His nails were sinking into your skin from how hard he was holding you by your hips, keeping you still as he rocked his hips forward as hard and as fast as he liked. Expletives were falling from his lips between his low grunts and breathy moans and you couldn’t help but sob a little at how strong he was going. It felt painfully amazing, and you knew your body wasn’t making any sense, and it surprised you when your orgasm hit you like a wave, just a few seconds before he reached his. You honestly never thought that something so painful could also bring this much pleasure and you wanted to be mad at him but you couldn’t even find the energy to keep yourself up.
You fell down to the bed with Haechan toppling on top of you almost immediately, chest heaving fast as he tried to bring back some air into his lungs.
“Holy fucking hell,” he said, breathing heavily at the juncture of your neck. “That was so good. This is probably the first time I—”
“Haechannie.”
“Oh right, shit!” He immediately jumped away, giving you some space and gently placed his palm on the side of your face, checking your condition. “Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere? Noona, I’m so sor—Yah!“
You pinched him by the nose, glowering at him with the little strength you have left and you didn’t let go even if he was tapping frantically against the back of your hand, asking for time-outs before you broke his bones.
Well, he said you could be mad at him all you want. It was time for him to face your wrath and it was not going to be pretty.
***
It wasn’t long until your name became a famous topic to discuss around the hallway too and it felt weird yet exciting at the same time, because it was true. You were dating Lee Haechan. And no matter how many times you had to convince yourself that it wasn’t solely your imagination, it still felt unreal.
Because Haechan was shining like the sun, and you couldn’t really shine as bright.
It suddenly felt like high school all over again when you’d once dated the Prom King, Jung Jaehyun, where people always talked behind your back, making comments about your face, or your body, or your attitude and how every aspect of your life did not fit the legendary high school prince that was Jung Jaehyun. It had gotten so much into your head that you had to break up with him, and hating yourself for over a year on how weak you’d become.
Dating Haechan was similar but different in the way he treated you. Jaehyun was too kind, not really saying anything back to anyone who said awful things about you and instead, just told you to not pay any mind about it. Haechan was much braver in saying the things that came to mind, so whenever he heard people talking trash about you, he would come up to them with words laced with venom. It was kind of childish, the way he got worked up rather easily, and even more childish when he continued to pout and fume about it even after a whole day had passed.
“Seriously, I said I’m fine,” you once said to him, entering his Hyundai after he opened the door for you.
“Well, I’m pissed off,” he said, unconsciously closing the door a bit too hard, making you flinch slightly. He walked to the other side of the car, sinking to his seat behind the wheel and exhaled loudly.
“Haechannie.”
“What?” His tone was still a bit harsh, but you knew he didn’t mean to shout at you.
“Thank you for defending me,” you softly said, reaching out for his hand. “But at this point, you’re gonna be mad with literally everyone and anger does not look pretty on you.”
“But aren’t you pissed, though? They literally have no business whatsoever to—”
“I know.” You squeezed his hand. “Look if it gets worse, we can always plan out something. There’s this perfect swamp I know outside of town.”
And Haechan couldn’t help but smile. Maybe he was right, that swamp thing could really be your thing. “You and your stupid swamp,” he muttered, shaking his head in amusement as he grabbed your face for a kiss. “Can we have sex at your place today?”
You sighed. It was always like this when it came to him.  “Sure, why not.”
Because certainly, you weren’t complaining.

1/3 (Eren Yeager)
(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
Bitches is my sons, that's why I be like, "Chile"
Chile, chile, chile, chile, ch-i-i-i-chile
At the lowest volume, Nicki was spitting bars. The LED lights on the brightest red there's to come as the window was covered with black out curtains. It happened to be bright outside but who opens their curtains at 8 am in the morning..? People who are productive and that's not you.
"Don't spend hours in there, brat."
A pout came onto your face, almost sucking your teeth... it wasn't going to be long until you were finished. Nonetheless though, your father always thinks you take hours to get ready to go somewhere.
"Im not ,daddy... Ion even wear makeup no more.. so it won't take long.."
Leaning towards the mirror, and pressing the lipgloss tip against your soft lips, your thoughts came around to your father.
Levi Ackerman, he's a short male who is quite intimidating, he IS intimidating. Despite his height, he's always winning a battle, whether it's verbal or physical. Which is why you always fail to win an argument against him. This was noticeable when you moved to his house ten months ago.
Before living with Levi, you were living with Hange.
Hange co-parents with Levi, the two were never together but they kept you happy and they are both Mom and Dad to you. The two are so different though. Hange would let you skip school, get ready late, almost everything in the book. She had to stop you from getting a sugar daddy though-
Levi is strict, he doesn't want anyone or thing touching his pretty Princess. Yes you're not biologically his but he still is your father, the only one you'd ever had. He taught you things, showed you the great life. He tried to get you to speak a bit more proper but he just stopped, oddly enough, he wanted you to embrace everything you had to offer.
It was a pain learning about your background, Hange was bad at doing anything for you as well. In result of this, your hair has dreads. Watching YouTube videos was Levi's new thing when you were younger. He managed to skillfully put dreads in your hair and... now they look quite amazing. Very long and pretty on you.
That's something you embrace, those pretty dreads. Knowing that your father put them in first , is one reason as to never take them out.
"I'm done, and, Mom said stop ignorin her... she wanna have a picture of me.. since it's my last year I guess.. ion know.. but she blowin up my phone.."
A bit of a smile casting on your brown skinned face. Fiddling with the phone in your hand. Today you were wearing a Jean like skirt and a black top to go with. Your med-long nails being a mix of white and gold, it complimented the melanin of your skin.
Levi glared at his phone that was vibrating on the nearest table and he'd sighed inwardly. Hange was so excited for your last year, while Levi was not. He also hates the fact that you are now going to the same school that he works at... the only bad thing being... the men there are complete perverts and prudes.
"Tell that bratty friend of yours to do it-"
"Connie isn't a brat, he just a lil mental..."
A lot of bald guys seemed to be mental, or is that just... stereotypical to say? Eh, either way, your Connie was mental. The guy was hilarious, he always knows how to put a smile on your face. Even though you two used to be fairly seperated. You now go to his school so at least you'll have one friend to lean on.
"dad, can you at least be happy for me...? It's my last year of school, not my last year of me bein in ya house.. cuz ion know how to cook... or do adult stuff.." a sheepish smile came upon your face, just staring at your father who happened to be suppressing a smile. He eventually did not though, but... you are the only person who can make him smile..
"I know, you burned down a kitchen before.." An evil smirk cascaded on his pale face. He knew that would hit you where it hurts, considering you were now silent but squinting your eyes playfully. It definitely wasn't Levi's kitchen, it was Hange's kitchen.. she had to get it remodeled.
Honestly, Levi liked that you couldn't cook, that way, douche bag men will stay away from you and it'll prevent them from making you barefoot and pregnant in a kitchen... he overthinks okay?
(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
Gripping your wrist ever so tightly, the two of you were walking towards the huge school. It was more of a modern taste, probably because the school was built only 6 years ago. The scale of the school had caused your body to overheat from anxiety. So actually, Levi was pulling you towards the school, no effort needed.
Once that door was open, it was all over. The main entrance had a pretty scenery. It was pictures and everything, though something that was odd was that black people were limited, looked like-
Okay okay, you're overthinking, but this school really doesn't have black people. If they do, they are in sports... which is why there was a man constantly talking on and on about female's basketball team...
You have to admit, you are a stallion.
"She doesn't want to be on the team... Shadis... stop yelling in her face.."
A bit of a concerned smile came upon your face as you glanced towards your father. Who only gave a soft look towards you. Levi may be insensitive at times but when it comes to you being nervous.. he's there.
"Where the hell is the principle..." Levi grumbled under his breath, he was quite late for his class.. but he had to make sure you were going to be fine.. like the worried father he is.
And Like on cue, a fine.. smexy blonde man came from the back door of the front office.. oooh.
His eyebrows were thick and he had this smile on his face. Like he knew who you were, though at the same time he probably already did. This man was in pictures at home, Levi knew him personally.
Apparently this man changed your diaper when you were little too.. so.. low chance of him seeing you any different..
Principal Smith... oohhh
"Levi, I told you yesterday, she'll be fine in my hands.. I can make sure she gets to every class. I'll also make sure nobody messes with her.." Erwin hummed out, knowing these words that came from Levi last week. His voice was deep and sincere, his pretty blue eyes glancing you over.. gawd oh mighty.
"And?" Levi's eyes squinted hard, his face quite serious about the last statement that Erwin seemed to pass by... or forgotten.. Man, someone would think Levi is the principal... and not Erwin.
"I'll make sure Yeager stays away from her.."
(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
The bell had rung oh so suddenly, the anxiety in you causing you to need to go to the bathroom but... your ancestors had to come down.
They whispered into your ear and explained that you are the baddest bitch in the world. Nobody can take that away from you, nor can the stupid anxiety.
"This is my daughter, (Y/n)... "
The baddest bitch with anxiety...
Every single eye was on you, in front of the class... it was obvious that most were just curious about you, mixed with shocked. When they heard the other day about getting a new student, they figured that it'll be someone... like them. At the same time though.. they could get used to the.. balance of the room.
The window across the room was beaming on your brown skin and it happened to make you look like a goddess. Your lipgloss sparkling as you glanced around, a soft smile on your face. Honestly, that only happened because of the fact that.. your bald friend was waving to you..
Connie...
The other day, a deal was made... Between you and your father. Who is also now your teacher for first period.
The deal was, you clean your room spotless and you get to sit next to Connie in class. Guess who succeeded?...
Your arms wrapped around male as he was blushing a tad. Being almost manhandled by you was everyone's dream at the moment. Especially a male who was behind you and Connie's table. He had this cool haircut, his face was long too but it fit his features.
"Why is she hugging the egg..."
"Jean you're just jealous.." the person who said this happened to be playing with their pencil. She had black hair and.. freckles.. it was cute. She looked mean though.
"Okay and..?"
Connie then began to of course, show off his best friend.. who happened to be you. Apparently what happened was that he told everyone about you one day. Nobody believed him, and Jean being the asshole he is.., he wanted answers so he -reluctantly- asked Levi if he had a daughter...
They weren't expecting someone like you...
Nor was.. this brown haired male who had his eye on you ever since you came in. His intimidating... blue, greenish looking eyes.. it's not something you failed to realize... but at the same time, you could feel your father's eyes as well.
"That's Eren over there, by Armin and Mikasa... he's a little coo-coo... so just talk to Armin and Mikasa.. then that's Bert , Annie, and Reiner, and Ymir, Jean, Sasha is the one eating and Historia.."
Honestly, you were never one to listen to someone when they say don't do something... Connie said don't talk to Eren... but some how... with the fluttering of your eyelashes.. you gave the long haired boy a wink. The wink sending him a burst of confidence that he already had..
it just got worse..

Pride Month is right around the Corner! Yay! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
Marinette, Kim, and Nino- The Trio of Transcendenceness... Ness 🏳️‍⚧️
Marinette, Kim, and Nino have been best friends since birth, and do pretty much everything together
If some rando were to look at them, they’d think it’s odd that Marinette likes to wear pink and gaze starry-eyed at dresses in store windows while Kim and Nino like to play with action figures and shop for clothes in the boys’ section
And people swore they saw them get teary-eyed whenever someone said their birth names
Tom and Sabine sort of just knew that Marinette was somewhere on the trans spectrum, and let their so- daughter buy whatever outfits she wanted and grow her hair out
Marinette: I wanna be a princess when I grow up!
Rando: Don’t you mean a prince?
Marinette: No! I’m the Princess of princes!
She officially came out when she was seven
Her parents were supportive. Confused, but supportive. They even made her a three layered cake with Trans flags toppers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She named herself after a princess she read about in a book
Kim and Nino did everything they could to help their sister
Nino gave her the makeup kit he never uses and a bunch of his hair accessories
Kim gave her some clothes he doesn’t like wearing
Whenever someone asks what happened to their friend, [CENSORED]. Kim and Nino say their friend went on a long trip and is never coming back
Kim was second to come out when he was nine
He loved how carefree Marinette looked after she had what he and Nino call her “Gender Awakening”
He was confused about some things though, and asked her to explain how she came to the conclusion that she wasn’t a guy
Marinette: Well, I never liked how people kept calling me by my old name, and whenever I had to wear boy’s clothes, my skin crawled a bit.
Kim: ... I’m trans, I wear pants, deal with it!
His parents were very supportive and his mom even threw a one-woman pride parade in the backyard
Tumblr media
Kim: Is mom okay?
Kim’s dad: She’s just happy for you. Now let’s go get you a haircut, young man before you look like a hippie.
In Vietnamese, Kim means gold/metal (A little reference to the gold medals he’s one in sports)
Marinette made him a custom binder that’s red with a gold star on the front
Nino cut his hair and is even learning how to contour so he can do Kim’s makeup to make him look more masculine
Finally, Nino came out when he was ten. He just figured it out on his own like Marinette
Nino: Your daughter’s dead, dudes. I’m taking over her room.
Chris: *Stares in awe* That is... awesome!
Tumblr media
His parents supported him wholeheartedly
He chose his name because it’s Spanish for boy
Marinette made him a binder and she and Kim took Nino clothes shopping
Since they’re all best friends, they wanna do everything together
When they were ten, the three of them started taking their hormones
On dysphoria days, they’ll get under a big blanket and snuggle up while watching Disney movies until they fall asleep. Nino and Marinette would sandwich Kim in the middle while he wrapped his arms around them
Sometimes they wear matching hoodies that are a few sizes too big and just hide everything
On their first day of collége, all three of them were dead named in one of their classes since the school didn’t update their names
Word spread. Long story short, Kim and Nino beat up a boy who deadnamed Marinette and asked for “proof”
Their classmates were very supportive and always corrected teachers who accidentally say their dead names during role call
Many guys who had crushes on Marinette offered to beat up or threaten anyone harassing her
Nathaniel (Before meeting Marc) almost framed one of her bullies for murder
The swim team wore gender neutral swimwear so Kim wouldn’t feel like the odd one out until he got his surgery
Guys will always put emphasis on ‘Dude’ whenever talking to Nino
Students offered to stand guard whenever they used the bathroom in case anyone tried anything else
When Alya and Adrien came along, they were all so nervous. Sure, most of the school was pretty tolerant, but what if someone outs them and the new students turn out to be bullies in their own class?!
Once again, they were outed by some asshole Damocles won’t expel for some shit reason
Alya beat the asshole to a pulp (Which caused Nino’s crush on her to start) while Adrien treated his three new friends to ice cream
When they started dating and Nino was feeling dysphoric, Alya will say things like: “My boyfriend is the manliest man ever.”
... Ah, fuck it! Bring out the Miraculous!🐞🐈‍⬛🐢
Marinette is Ladybug/Nino is Carapace/Kim is Mèo đen (They all know each other’s identities because they opened the boxes together in Marinette’s room)
Thanks to a little magic, they have the bodies they’ve always dreamed of having
One Akuma they faced was some transphobic dick who they did not go easy on. Carapace and Mèo đen had to reluctantly keep Ladybug from murdering him in front of a bunch of people
Now, Lila? (I can’t go one second without Lila salt) She’s a new member of the assholes club but doesn’t know others know Marinette, Kim, and Nino are trans
She runs into class sobbing like a dumb [BLEEP] and whines about how Marinette assaulted her in the bathroom
The class was not amused and Lila never did become popular
Then the big day came. They were eighteen and they got their surgery together in the same hospital
Doctors and nurses gushed over how sweet it was three best friends were taking this huge step together
Kim and Nino’s first act was to burn their bras. Marinette even joined in even though she needed hers’
🏳️‍⚧️ Okay, onto the Pride headcanons! 🏳️‍⚧️
Some consider them Trans icons
It’s not every day a group of best friends come out as Transgender and get their surgery on the same day
They go to Pride every year, and thanks to Marinette, they’re always the best dressed
Their outfits mainly consist of sleeveless hoodies, crop tops, sandals, and bedazzled shorts and capes
Every time Marinette inhales, a terf gets punched
Every time Marinette exhales, a trans kid gets a cupcake
Mari makes pride capes, bedazzles them, and passes them out at parades
Kim is very popular with the drag Queens.
He is a lip sync god
Children love him and always ask for piggyback rides
He’s notorious for making flower crowns for the kids
Nino takes on the role of the mom friend when they got to pride
He once put Mari and Kim on those baby leashes so they wouldn’t wander off
He also supplies juice boxes and snacks
After their surgery, Nino and Kim pass out their old binders.
Kim’s would definitely look like sports jerseys
Nino’s binders are neon and one even glows in the dark
He wears hoodies no matter how hot it is
Marinette: Nino, take that off!
Nino: *Sweating more than the average person* No!
Marinette once beat up a terf who was harassing Kim and Nino for being “traitors to their sex”
The terf left with bruises and a small crush

Headcanons of Neil P. being in love with (gn!) reader
<Attention: Modern AU where Neil lives, and Welton’s a boys & girls school. Warnings: Fluff; Cheesy flirting; > Note: Y/n - your name/ Y/Ln - your last name/ Y/fn - your friend’s;
Also, here’s my Neil playlist, hope you enjoy it!
Tumblr media
image font;
The first time this boy laid his eyes on you was at a party;
This boy was talking to Todd in a corner and watching Charlie and Knox singing "Killer Queen" by Queen out loud while dancing together very badly, i must say;
Him and Todd making fun of their friends while talking;
Then the song was over and a tune he had never heard before started to play, you were talking to a friend next him and just went "OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG, COME ON LETS DANCE.";
He went silent for solid 4 minutes and looked at you like...
"Neil. NEIL. nEIL!" "uh-" "Are you okay?" "yeah, sorry, go on i'm listening." he wasn't;
you were singing out loud and dancing wildly;
and even if he was laughing at Charlie and Knox for doing the exact same thing 2min ago, he still thought that you were the most lovely thing he had ever saw;
by the end of the song he went talk to you, he just left Todd talking alone and walk too you giving his hand for you to shake;
Todd went after him;
Tumblr media
image font;
"Hi, I'm Neil.... This is Todd. You are...?" "I'm (Y/n)." you said smiling along while shaking his hand and Todd was just looking at him like "you smooth mf";
"(Y/n), pretty name." He wasn't smirking but oh well, it felt like it and you blushed very hard;
You guys kept talking for the rest of the night while your friend and Todd observed everything making their own comments;
They ended up getting along very well, and so did you and Neil;
By the end of the night, both of had exchanged phone numbers;
And guess what? both of you actually had Mr. Keating's class together (along with Todd and your friend);
You told him that you also was a editor at the school's newspaper (wich led him to beg Charlie to tell him every single thing he knew about you);
So, 4th period on monday was your shared class, he searched for you all over the room;
You were on the 1rst desk of his line, he had trouble to keep looking at you and almost fell on his chair a couple times;
Mr.Keating realised it and couldn't stop giving subtle hints at you...
"Dear (Y/Ln), have you changed your hair?" "Not really Sir..." you answered with a quite puzzled expression. "It seems that a certain someone can't take their eyes out of you, I believed it was due a new haircut but, oh well, young love it is.";
And he smirked while Neil's cheek had a dusty pink spread all over it. You watched Keating walk in the corridor and softly tap Neil's shoulder;
It wasn't till later tha same day that you texted Neil, "hey! it's (Y/n), what was that on mr.k's class today?" "oh, hey! it was nothing actually, he was just picking on me, sorry to drag you with me lol" "suuuure";
He invited you and your friend to sit with his friends because "Todd is totally head over heels for them but he won't take action so, you know" "Really? OH MY GOD YES, they are SO oblivious! I've been telling this to them for a while now but they just won't listen to me!";
Both of you were too concentrated on yourselves to realize that all of the poets were having way too much fun with all of this;
Basically they all just had planned this dinner, Todd ended up introducing your friend to them earlier that day while you were studying and they start talking about you and Neil;
Charlie and Knox connected the dots about the Mr.Keating's class events and came up with the plan;
They watched Neil's clumsiness over you and decided to go to their dorms earlier;
Todd was the last one, he was going to be followed by you until Neil grabbed your hand gently and pulled you closer to him. You stared at him in confusion "Let's give them some privacy, shall we?" he said with a mischievous smile while watching them to walk towards Todd and Neil's dorm room;
You blushed very deeply, but that didn't stopped you from answering "Let's go to my dorm room them, when (Y/fn) arrives you go." "Absolutely!";
When already in your dorm room, he observes every single thing in your room, trying to memorize every detail until his eyes lay down on a vinyl player;
He goes to the shelf and brush the tips of his fingers on the covers, feeling the hard covers and paying attention to the colors "Are you looking for something specific?" you wake him out of his thoughts, "Yeah, uh... the one you danced on the party? Do you have it? On vinyl, I mean..." "Yeah! I do, actually." you answered smiling and he could swear his heart just skipped a beat;
You pull out the vinyl from the shelf and set it on the player, placing the needle on the track as he watch your hands with a sweet smile;
After the song has started, he offers a hand "Shall we?" "Absolutely Sir.";
You both dance along the song, freely and passionately, inside your own world and too distracted to realise a certain duo watching from the door frame, Todd and (Y/fn) highfive discreetly and wait until both of you finish the song;
"Come on lovebirds, it's curfew already!" (Y/fn) says smiling mischievously to you;
On the way back to his room, Neil shouts at Todd "And there I was, thinking I was a good matchmaker!" laughing at himself;
"Oh, you are, but we both know that those weren't your only intentions loverboy." "Oh, shut it Todd!" and they both went laughing through the corridors laughing and messing each other's hair's;
When at their dorm, the whole other poets were spread at the floor waiting for Neil to tell them everything that happened since they left the dinner room;
By the end of the night, Neil texted you "Good night, dove. Sleep well :)" and you just melted with the silly yet sweet nickname. "Good night, nightingale ;)" "Nightingale? Original, I like it lol";
Hope you like it! I take requests by ask! (info on requests);
Also, you’ll find more of my writing here.

No Matter What
Tumblr media
Pairing: Dad!Jensen x Reader Uncle!Jared x Reader
Warnings: none
Thanks for requesting you amazing human being! I really do hope that you enjoy it 🤗
MASTERLIST
___
To say that you were nervous about returning home to visit your family would be an understatement. It's summer break and you decided to return home to spend time with your family, you missed your parents and your younger siblings so much
You were currently sat in the front seat of your uncle's car as he drove you home to surprise your folks. A couple days ago you had called your uncle Jared to catch up with him and your aunt Gen and you had asked him for his help to do this to which he eagerly agreed too
"You're awfully quiet over there" his voice brought you out of your train of thought as he came to a stop at the red light. You sighed running your fingers through your newly cut hair not knowing how to go about this particular topic
"Everything alright Y/N?" chewing on the insides of your cheek you inhaled a deep breath before speaking
"Imabisexual" jumbling the words together you watched as his brows knotted in confusion, clearly not picking up on a single thing you said
"What was that?" you swallowed your nerves, still unsure about coming out to the man that has had a hand in raising you for as long as you can remember, not knowing how he's going to react
"I'm a bisexual" your chest felt a lot lighter as you revealed your darkest secret. You watched on as Jared's face went from a state of shock to pure joy
"That's great as long as you're happy kiddo, that's all that matters" reaching over he gave you a quick hug before resuming to drive us in the direction of my parent's house
"I take it that your parent's don't know"
"They don't" truthfully you, yourself didn't know how to bring it up over all the FaceTime calls and text messages, hell you still don't even know how you're going to break the news to them face to face
"Listen, I've known your parents for a very long time, I can assure you that they would still love you regardless, I know I do" pulling into their driveway you felt at ease knowing that you would always have your uncle Jared there whenever you needed him
"By the way, I like the new haircut" he brushed the fallen strand of hair from your face, sending you a supportive smile before getting out of the car
Looking up at the house you grew up in, you released a breth you hadn't realize that you were holding before following Jared to the front door
As you stood on the doorstep you could faintly hear your mom's voice as she yelled at Arrow and Zepplin to stop fighting and you laughed underneath your breath. Jared squeezed your shoulder as you rang the doorbell
"I'll get it!" your father's voice filled your ears as he walked over to the door. Withing a split second you were swept off your feet as your dad took you into his arms, spinning you around
"My girl is home!" he announced causing me to laugh as I wrapped my arms around his neck enjoying being held in his arms after so long of not seeing him. He kissed the side of my head repeatedly before placing me back on my feet
"Jens- oh my god!" your mom Danneel tackled you without giving you time to regain balance almost knocking you off your feet. You clung to her like your life depended on it. She pulled back smiling down at you as she inspected you from head to toe
"It's so good to have you home sweetie, come in" walking in you kicked your shoes off at the door and headed over to the three children currently making a mess in the living room
"WHATCHA DOING!" their tiny screams filled the room as you scared them with your yelling. JJ dropped her hula hoop running over to hug you. Opening your arms you bent down to hug her not so short frame
"Did you get taller?" teasing you ruffeled her hair before turning to the twins who eagerly wanted to latch themselves on to your legs. You hoisted them both up, one on each hip accepting their endless hugs and kisses
"We missed you sissy" Aarow said playing with your blue hair mesmorised by the pretty colour
"I missed you guys too" you really did, no amount of FaceTime calls could compare to actually having your family around
“You could’ve told us that you were coming” your dad pulled you into his arms again so glad to finally hold his daughter after months
“I wanted to surprise you”
——-
The day has almost come to and end, you and your mom were putting away the dishes while your dad put your siblings to bed
“You know, I could always tell when something’s been bothering you” she stated as she sat on a stool by the kitchen island opposite you
“Is it that obvious mom?” she chuckled, nodding her head and you put your face in the palms of your hands to shield yourself from her gaze
“Sweetie, what’s wrong?” her hand gently held onto my forearm as she tried to coax me into opening up to her
“Is it school?” you quickly shook your head no before sitting upright on the stool
“No mom, it’s not school....I just have to tell you and dad something but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to do it” her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, not used to seeing you all flustered and nervous
As if hearing that I mentioned him, dad strolled into the kitchen and joined us at the counter, kissing both our temples before pulling up a stool for himself
“What’s going on?” his eyes flickered between the both of you and you started jerking your legs, something you do when you’re extremely nervous
“Something’s bothering her Jensen” tucking your hair behind your ears you silently said ‘fuck it’ and looked up at the two people that meant the world to you
Rip it off like a bandaid Y/N
“Mom, dad there’s no easy way to say this but, here goes nothing” they both shared the same look unsure of where this is headed
“I’m a bisexual”
You were pretty sure you could hear a pin drop in the kitchen from the deafening silence in the room
At least they’re not yelling
You continued to bounce your legs as they both processed this new piece of information. Your mom reached across the table and held your hands in hers as a smile crept onto her face
“You can stop bouncing your legs princess, you have nothing to be nervous about” your dad said and you slowly haunted your movements. Smiling he arose from his seat and made his way over to you, wrapping you up in yet another embrace
“You guys aren’t mad” still in disbelief you held your father’s arm closer to your frame
“Of course not baby girl, we love you no matter what”
Hearing your father say those words to you brought tears you your eyes. After months of thinking the worst of this conversation you never once thought about the possibility of them being supportive, yet here you were
“Don’t cry” your mom joined in on your embrace as you continued to cry happy tears
“We love you Y/N”

Pillarroomates (Chapter 2: Strange introductions...)
(Summary: It's time to meet your new Roommates and things are already off to a shaky start...)
"--and you mentioned you're a student aside from your work?"
Smiling, you nodded as the violet-haired man before you scribbled away on the neat lined paper laid out in front of him.
"Yeah. It's mostly online stuff but I do occasionally go for in person lectures when I get the time." You began, making Kars hum quietly to himself as you went into more detail.
This was honestly starting to feel like more of a job interview (or perhaps more of a Police interogation) rather than a simple interaction concerning becoming a roommate with hopes of living here.
Even though you had only spoken with him for a short time now, you could tell this "Kars" (or so he had introduced himself as) was all business.
The giant of a man was asking you all sorts of questions, jumping back and forth between ones boarderline ubsurd and ones you had expected.
He asked a little about your history and about your Family (most specifically your surname and any distant relations you might have). He questioned you on your work and what you did, your wages and your work ethic. He wanted to know every single one of your habits (annoying or not) and how you spent your free time; jotting things down as he went.
Every single time his eyes fell on you, you couldn't help but feel exposed under his gaze; like you were sitting completely naked before him on an operating table, cut open, and he was taking you apart piece by piece and examining every inch with a scrutinizing eye.
Speaking of eyes, you definitely didn't miss how inhuman his were. Maroon on crimson, like thick droplets of blood splattered onto the white of a fine ivory knife and cutting you just as deeply as one.
It was like nothing you had ever seen or felt before.
You told him the truth and nothing but during the entirety of the seemingly endless line of questioning but it still felt like it was all a spew of dirty little lies falling from your lips. It only made an icky swirl of anxiety churn consistently in your stomach, like the spinning of a washing machine, as you sat there talking away.
There was no telling how you would feel if you did tell a lie or if he happened to indeed smell one lingering on your breath; which you were also struggling to keep in check.
"Interesting..." he muttered quietly, more to himself than to you. The scratching of his pen on paper filled the long silence at the round little wooden table.
Your eyes fell to his handwriting a number of times in hopes of catching a glimpse of something that would indicate whether you were "passing" this little test or not but it was inevitable.
You were beginning to wonder where exactly this man was from as the entirety of his notes were in a language you couldn't identify at all.
Even if it was written in proper English, you doubted you'd be able to read it at all either. His handwriting was something akin to what you'd find on an ancient scroll being presented late at night on the History Channel; small and scratchy letters scrawled across white in quick flicks of the wrist.
As if things couldn't feel anymore stressful, you could also feel the eyes of two others burning into you.
The one whom you had an encounter at the door with, Kars informed you that his name was "Esidisi" after the man had retreated down the hall again, was now standing in the far corner of the little kitchen.
There he loitered, a piece of pizza cradled in each hand (was that.... macaroni on top???) and munching away as if he hadn't seen so much as a morsel of food in months.
Much to everyones relief, the man had put some clothes on by the time he ran to answer the door for the 2nd time that day; his long awaited pizza finally having arrived.
At the very least he had saved the poor delivery boy from becoming as startled as you had.
You didn't even want to think of how different things would've gone if his towel had somehow slipped...
The burning intensity of Kars' glare (despite the fact it wasn't even aimed remotely in your direction) made you squirm in your seat as Esidisi came onto the interview scene with the pizza box in hand, a sunny smile stretched across on his face and the words "HOT DAD ALERT" emblazoned in bold white letters on his t-shirt.
Esidisi wasn't even so much as fazed by the look like you were. The man only smiling all the brighter, cheeks stuffed uncannily like a chipmunk storing food, each time he met Kars' sharp gaze.
Then there was the other one, the blonde with the mullet-like haircut and the stained apron. While he was doing his best to busy himself by cleaning around the stove, you managed to overhear Esidisi addressing him as "Wamuu" when offering a slice of the boxed Italian monstrosity he was savoring; which the other kindly declined.
Even through your talking, you didn't miss the fact that Wamuu had wiped down the kitchen surfaces at least 3 times during your little chat with Kars; he hadn't even moved an inch from his spot. You had managed to catch his gaze once or twice as he was sneaking a few little glances over his shoulder.
Much like Esidisi was doing (but with a lot more inconspicuous action) Wamuu was eavesdroping on the interview.
However, you also couldn't help but feel that he was was also standing guard. The man was keeping a close eye on the scene, reminding you of a bulldog protecting its Home from intruders while its master was away.
"And, uh... that's about it, I guess." You finished, a tight smile flashing across your face as you shrugged helplessly.
Kars pursed his lips, eyes skimming over his papers. For a long moment, perhaps the longest moment you'd ever had to endure, he was silent.
"Acceptable." He hummed, not exactly much emotion carried in that word, papers rattling as they were shuffled in his hands. "Perhaps the most acceptable I've seen in some time. You definitely fit our criteria."
You could only blink, unsure if you should even thank him for saying something like that.
"Uhh, I take it you've had your fair share of annoying roommates?" You asked, laughing a little, only making the man across from you hum again.
"Oh, you bet we have," Esidisi cut Kars off just as he opened his mouth to speak, wiping his hands with a paper towel as he waved the other off. "You wouldn't believe it! The last one we had was a real idiot. Lazy too, couldn't hold a job to save his life, he left the kitchen a mess every time he walked though it."
Hearing that, you could at least nod understandingly.
You definitely sympathized with them on that one, you had met your fair share of people when jumping from place to place who outright refused to pull their weight.
One of the main reasons you had been looking for a place to start with was because of one of those same types of people, afterall.
You had been happy living in an apartment closer to the edge of town for some time. Your earlier roommates had been nice, kind of fun too, and you had hopes things would stay that way at least until you finished school.
Everything had been just fine until the first one chose to move cities, then things only went downhill from there. Along came your other roommates boyfriend (better known as; the laziest, most childish piece of shit you ever had the displeasure of knowing) and after almost a year of just barely tolerating that shitshow you had decided enough was enough.
It was overdue for you to find another place to live.
Esidisi laughed as he went on, leaning on Kars' chair. "He really had it coming to him when we--"
THUNK! The table rattled, making you jump in your own chair. Esidisi's lips came tight together, a long breath sucked hard enough through his nose that the little gold ring dangling precariously on the ridge of his nostril shivered.
Kars acted as if you didn't know that he had just kicked the other under the table, clearing his throat.
"When that one was evicted," here Kars shot Esidisi another one of those looks, which the other actually paid attention to this time around. "It was unanimous that was the final straw, so we agreed to put some proper ground rules out there before allowing anyone else to even think about inquiring to live here."
Your head tilted, unable to hold back a chuckle as you pulled out the print out of their half-garbled "guidelines" you had kept for them to see.
"I'll be honest, at first I was sure this wasn't a real ad..."
Here, both Esidisi and Kars shared a pointed look, you had a feeling there was something more to the story there.
Kars' eyes fell on you again after a beat, thankfully his expression much more neutral.
"I'll ask you," he began. "Do you want to live here?"
"Well..." you honestly couldn't help but laugh a little. Even if things seemed a little worse here you probably wouldn't find yourself refusing, you NEEDED a place and you needed to jump on this before the opportunity was gone again. "Yeah."
"As you said, dear Kars, they fit all the criteria." Esidisi's voice dropped into a teasing little purr, you suddenly felt that heat you felt at the front door blooming in your face once again when the man tossed a wink and a smile your way. "They're cute too, just what I asked for at the very least."
Cute? You nearly sputtered out the word, lips tightening together as you had no choice but look away from the man and his cheeky little grin.
You sat there struggling to force down the memory of him in only his bathtowel again, face feeling hot enough to rival the sun.
Kars let in a deep breath, ignoring the way the other was shaking him in his chair, the sight of an actual smile working his way across his face brought you a little closer to reality again.
"In that case," here he stood, holding his hand out for you to shake. "Welcome to our Home."
A smile of your own spread across your face as you grasped his hand, cold and calloused and FAR bigger than your own, suddenly feeling as if a great weight had been lifted off your shoulders.
"I'm glad to be welcomed." You sighed, beaming up at Kars. Now he didn't seem so very intimidating (well, at least a little) when he was looking a tad more relaxed around you. "I don't have much stuff so getting it from the shelter to here won't be a stretch. I'll probably have it all moved by tomorrow."
Here, you were treated with the sight of not only Kars and Esidisi but Wamuu as well, still lingering by the stove, staring at you in surprise.
Here, Wamuu spoke up for the first time during this entire interview, "You... were living at a shelter?"
All you could do was shrug, feeling s little helpless. "Well, yes... I was." You sighed again as that heaviness on your back suddenly returned at their staring, a hand going up to rub the back of your neck. "Not the best place to stay, I know, but I've been looking around for a place for a quite a while."
It was better than sleeping on the street that was for sure. At least there you could shower and rest and get ready for work; really the only fears you had staying there was someone stealing something important of yours.
Not to mention, it was much more preferable than having to go back to--
The top of your head tickled as a warm and quick puff of air suddenly reached out and touched you, like a hand lovingly caressing your hair. Though the feeling was miniscule it made you suddenly stand on edge.
A beat passed before the very same thing happened again, just as fleeting as the first time. A strange itch crawled up your spine as the unmistakable heat radiating off another body sank slowly through your back, though its source not touching you directly.
Someone was behind you.
Slowly, though with much hesitantance, your head turned. You eyes were wide open as your neck rotated, the action best described as owlish, blinking at the words "seether" emblazoned across a barreled chest, only urging your eyes to seek more upwards.
Your eyes locked onto icy cold rings of blue, an unconcious shiver dancing through your body as the chill of them seeped deep within your body.
There, now right before you, was another man. It was best to assume this was your last supposed roomate as he was just as big and as muscular as the rest.
However, you couldn't shake the feeling that this one was strangely... different than the others.
A hot puff of air brushed the space between your eyes as the stranger breathed out quietly, the action only making you blink hard. He said nothing, he made no indication at all to say anything, he only... stared.
"Umm..." your mouth opened but the jumble of words sitting like a lump in your throat couldn't find your mouth.
"Y/N, this is... Santana." Kars piped up from behind, sounding more than tempted to sigh again today. "He is the 4th and last of us here."
Call it intuition but from what you could tell already, this Santana wasn't the chummiest one of the bunch. Tall and still, skin as fair as snow, almost every square inch of him was chiseled and, well, square.
That stoney expression of his didn't exactly give you an insight as to what was going on in the others head either.
Something told you you'd have to make the first move or else all this staring would get you nowhere.
A hesitant smile squirmed its way across your face, every effort you had inside to be polite straining to the point of almost breaking.
"Hi Santana," your voice nearly cracked. "It's-- nice to meet you...?"
Santana continued to stare at you as if he hadn't even heard you speak at all. A cold sweat prickled on the nape of your neck, you struggled to fight back a cough as the room fell into a dead silence again.
You were starting to wish you were back in the hallway where you had started...
"Santana," Esidisi spoke up next. "come on. Like we practiced..."
Santana exhaled again, the sound more like the huff of a disgruntled pasture bull.
A thick bubble of uncertainty ballooned in your throat as the red-heads arm extended, sticking out quite stiffly in your direction. A long moment passed, you blinking stupidly, before you realized what he was trying to do.
Your watery smile returned with much more force, reaching out to grasp his offered hand. Your fingers could just barely wrap around his ice cold palm.
Another beat. Nothing happened for another uncomfortable little eternity.
Across the room Kars cleared his throat, loudly. Another prompt.
That bubble of uncertainty in your throat dropped like a stone down into the pit of your stomach as his arm moved up and down, up and down, up and down. The movement was just as cold and robotic as his stare.
He didn't even wrap his fingers around your hand, keeping them as straight and pointed as dense meaty rulers.
You honestly half-expected to hear a feint squeaking come from his shoulder at the slight and stiff movement.
"Do not forget to smile..." It was Wamuu who whispered loudly to the other from across the room; as if that would keep you from hearing the plea.
Your own forced smile threatened to dissolve completely for good as you watched Santana's lips twitch, slowly peeling back to reveal two rows of white teeth.
Teeth of your own sank into the flesh your tongue as the glimmer of 4 very sharp K-9's hit your eye, making Santana's painfully cheered grimace all the more chilling.
Up and down, up and down, up and down.
"Nice... to... meet you..." Santana's voice was deep and gruff, the very tone of it shook your insides like an Earthquake.
Maybe it was just his voice, maybe he didn't mean to sound so very rough; the thought definitely crossed your mind. Though, you couldn't be quite sure about that by the way this interaction was going...
"Uhh, the--... the pleasures all mine..." Really, what else could you say?
The very second you let go, Santana's arm retreated back to his side, his face falling back into that stoney hard glare. And just like that, he pushed past you, marching quickly towards the fridge; a word was grumbled, too low for you to hear, but it was something about you.
It was more than clear to you and everyone else that he decided this horrible too-long-of-a-greeting was over.
The fridge door was yanked open, the movement harsh enough the bottles inside chattered. All of you watched as Santana made a grab for a container of lettuce, slamming the fridge shut and striding right out of the kitchen without so much as another grunt, let alone a glance, in your direction.
A breath you didn't even know you had been holding let go, a strange sense of relief washing over you like a warm tidal wave.
Talk about awkward. So awkward you almost wanted to shudder.
What the Hell was his problem?
You nearly jumped when a huge, warm hand clapped you on the shoulder, blinking up into the smiling face of Esidisi.
"He'll warm up to you," The man said, shrugging. "Santana doesn't care much for new people or, well, people in general I suppose. It's just the way he is..."
"We're trying to acquaint him with the concept of socializing and get him used to social norms of this time," Kars practically groaned, pinching the space between his eyes. "As you can see, it's still a work in progress..."
"It probably doesn't help that the last guy living here was the one to seriously piss him off in the end." Esidisi only shrugged again.
You, on the other hand, flinched hearing that. Like it or not, their last roomate had obviously left a lasting impression of newer people on him.
You wouldn't be surprised if Santana thought that you would be the very same thing judging by what you had been told about the last guy and the last thing you wanted was this near-to-stranger having some sort of hard feelings on you when you hadn't even so much as moved in yet.
"Would you like to see your room before you go?" You were most thankful that Kars spoke up again.
"Ah-- yeah." You said, blinking. "That'd be great."
"Wonderful, Wamuu will show you where it is." The kitchen chair creaked as Kars pushed himself in closer to the table, settling back into his comfortable working slouch as he pulled his laptop out again.
He still had work to get done afterall.
Your eyes drifted across the room, meeting the more stern gaze of the blonde, making you realize that Santana wasn't exactly the only one in the house you couldn't quite read just yet.
Nonetheless, the man made no move at all to argue with Kars for being volunteered like so.
Wamuu peeled off his stained apron with a huff, hanging it neatly on the wall.
"This way," a huge hand waved you along, Wamuu's back already to you as he was heading out of the kitchen.
You fumbled for a moment, head turning not-unlike a pet budgie, choosing to wave to Esidisi (Kars was already too focused on whatever he was working away at) before moving to catch up with Wamuu.
Something told you that he wouldn't exactly appreciate having to wait up for you.
This day was far from over yet but at least the hardest part of it was....
Wasn't it?
