Fuckin chav vb+Arthur au
@modernday-jay I blame you for this.
"GET YOUR COATS OFF BOYS, AND PUT ON YOUR BLAZER YOUNG MAN!"
Ah the wonderful sounds of a British secondary school in late November, everyone wanted it to be half term already and there was the customary large amount of yelling from any one corner of the sopping wet and absolutely ball shrivellingly cold field they had the fortune to have.
The yelling by the caretaker was directed at Allen by the way, Arthur didn't wear a jacket despite it being just two degrees above zero -celcius you plebs- and Alfred, the perpetual goodie two shoes (in the eyes of the teachers) had already taken off his jacket before nearing the school gates, when asked all the nefarious bastard said was "I need to keep up a reputation!"
He certainly did have one, to the students he was the loud, tubby, slightly obnoxious american cunt that couldn't handle his drink to save his life and refused even the non nicotine vapes, to the teachers he was a wonderful boy, much nicer than all the other roughousers locked in this school with him, bright and appealing as a person.
To Allen and Arthur he was a hot piece of shit, and no one questioned the gayness because everyones a little gay with the homies (also they were scared shitless of Arthur and at least mildly threatened by Allen).
Wandering on to site, they always came early, all three getting on the same bus every morning, converging and dispersing at the bus stop every morning and afternoon, (what they did at night was something else entirely)
But just how two Americans ended up in a crusty british secondary school with a kid who had to get transferred from a grammar school because they moved house was quite a mystery, Alfred and Allen just seemed to turn up one day in the middle of year 8, and was entrusted on Arthur, then the form prefect, still the form prefect now as he came to think of it, they hadn't had a vote in a while but Arthur seemed to have the classes shit together well enough to not warrant an overthrow in leadership.
Anyways.
At the time the two Americans were just that, American, and weird with their too much and far too direct eye contact, especially Alfred, fucker was born and raised in the middle of fucking nowhere, Wyoming, so it was natural he would be a bit odd.
While Allen at least had the decency to know how to behave in a city environment, being from Boston after all, but he still acted funny and absolutely lost his shit when some year 11s offered him a beer.
Before a lengthy explanation that was really just Arthur infodumping about drinking laws was underway and Allen took a sip out of the beer can just to make Arthur laugh and Alfred to make that weird fucking face of his with thee shit eating grin. Yes he was 100 percent straight what are you talking about?
Their accents were funny, so was Arthur's to be fair, the lad had come from Buckinghamshire (spoke in recieved pronounciatikn, poor lad) because he had to move house and couldn't get a place in any of the Berkshire grammar schools due to them having a different exam and it was generally far too late into the schooling system for a transfer to be arranged.
So he got chucked into the absolute mess of a borough that is Ealing, and so did the other two, and the rest as they say, is history.
Though I mean Allen gave less than a quarter of a shit about history, he wanted to blow up the chemistry department, and he nearly did with the help of two year 12s which is a whole different story that I will get to eventually. Alfred wanted to physics, and despite being a homeschooled prairie kid from Wyfuckingoming he was very good at it, he was a numbers god and was in set one from the very start, and he didn't even have to grind too hard. And as I previously said, all the teachers loved him.
Arthur would prefer to sit in the library and get something read, but the job of looking after the two American bastards made it a bit more difficult when he had to explain the difference between Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Marx to Alfred whose parents were very clearly still living in the 70s red scare.
it took some time getting used to, with absolutely minimal help from Arthur who would more likely be able to rattle off a single sentence that uses Opulence, Gratuitous and Whimsical and it making sense than him being able to understand what the other guys in his year were saying, before Allen could understand what people were saying, Arthur caught on a little later and they both doubt that Alfred knows it.
With the kid that spoke like he had a stick up his arse that was gradually extending further up his rectum and into his colon, you would be forgiven to think that he would be a punching bag, but dear reader a punching bag stays still and doesn't know how to chokehold a 6ft guy behind the shed and probably carried rocks in his pockets at all times, does he now.
"GET INSIDE, STOP DILLY-DALLYING!"
Oop that's the first bell, I got to go but I'll elaborate some time in the pelrkbably distant future, see ya fuckers.

Tumblr media
ATSUMU.
- the team has a favorite twin and it’s osamu, we all know it
- one day after practice, the team finds out that one of the first-years managed to get a girlfriend
- most of the inarizaki vb team is single at that point in time so it starts a conversation about relationships
- somewhere in the conversation, aran says, “osamu, man. I can’t believe ya haven’t gotten a girlfriend yet. yer easily one of the best-looking people in the school.”
- osamu just shrugs, but atsumu’s like “huh??”
- “hey ‘samu and i have the same face. don’t cha mean that we’re some of the best-looking people in the school??”
- the guys in the locker room exchange glances
- aran‘s like “look, atsumu. don’t blow up on me or anything, but most girls don’t really want to date you.” (keep in mind that aran’s strictly speaking about the girls that aren’t a part of the miya twins fan club)
- “and why the hell not?”
- at this point, aran’s looking at literally everyone in the room and pleading with his eyes for help because he doesn’t want to start a fight with atsumu
- suna takes pity on aran and says, “hate to break it you, miya, but girls don’t want to date a guy who’s a massive asshole”
- now, atsumu could care less if the entire goddamn world thinks he’s an asshole, but it rubs him the wrong way that his teammates think that osamu’s a better catch than he is
- sibling rivalry pride or whatever
- so atsumu goes “i think my girlfriend would disagree because oh will ya look at that, she’s dating me!”
- he was most definitely not dating anyone
- osamu raises an eyebrow at him because to his knowledge, atsumu didn’t have a girlfriend
- “since when did you have a girlfriend?”
- osamu looks at atsumu with knowing eyes and smirks. “yeah sumu, who’s this girlfriend of yours? I don’t think i’ve met her yet.”
- atsumu knows he’s gotten himself in some deep shit
- but still he’s still full of pride, so he says, “i’ll bring her by to practice tomorrow.”
- now miya atsumu has a dilemma because there are some things he just shouldn’t lie about (because now he’ll never live it down if he can’t figure out a way to get himself out of this one)
- atsumu knows that he’s got that fanclub that would probably be more than willing to date him, but the thought of being in their presence for longer than two seconds makes his skin crawl because he doesn’t think he could handle the excessive screaming
- so that night he decides to go to the bakery down the street that he frequents because they have some of the best macarons in town
- you’re one of the bakers at that bakery that works the shift when he usually comes in for his weekly macarons so you two are acquainted
- you also go to inarizaki, so you hear the rumors that circulate around atsumu, but you don’t really pay much attention to them because he’s not that bad whenever he comes into the bakery
- like sometimes if he tries to only order 2 macarons but notices that there are only 5 macarons left, he’ll buy them all just to make your life easier
- when he comes in that day, he has this troubled look on his face. “hey y/n. can i just have my usual? oh and an iced matcha.”
- you like to keep tabs on your regulars and what they order, so when he orders an iced matcha, you know that something’s probably up (he never orders drinks from there because he said that his brother would kill him if he didn’t bring him home a drink too and having to carry the two drinks up to their apartment is hassle enough)
- you’re in the middle of making his drink when you decide to ask him what’s up “everything alright?”
- it’s almost time to close up and you two are the only two left so you figured you had time for small talk
- “i may have outright lied to my team about havin’ a girlfriend.”
- “you don’t?” that surprises you because so many girls at your school have a crush on the miya twins (you would know because your best friend is practically in love with osamu)
- when atsumu shakes his head dejectedly, you don’t quite understand what he’s so down for
- “you do know that there are like 50 girls that are practically lining up to date you right?”
- “yeah, but they’d expect a real relationship and i’m no good at those.”
- “why not?”
- “i’m too argumentative, let's just say, plus i’ve been told that i kinda come off as an asshole.”
- “and volleyball right?” you would know since he always comes into the bakery after a practice and he looks like he’s both dead and alive
- when you hand him his matcha and packet of macarons, he pauses
- “listen, don’t take this the wrong way but yer single right?”
- you almost smile to yourself because wow for a guy so attractive, his way with words isn’t great
- “i am.”
- he stands there for a good 20 seconds just looking at you with that look in his eyes that tells you that he’s trying to ask you something but he doesn’t know how to do it
- “you want me to act as your fake girlfriend don’t you?”
- cue atsumu chuckle @%EUTYDJBCJWER)*&# hhhhfs
- “ya know, i’m kinda seein’ why i get called an asshole all the time. it doesn’t sound as great when ya’ say it like that.”
- you agree to pretend to be his girlfriend, but on the condition that your best friend will be able to tag along if osamu’s gonna be there
- and that’s the start of it
- you visit his practice the next day before work and his team looks at you in surprise because they were 100% sure that having a girlfriend was just another one of atsumu’s lies
- they all kinda stare at you a little extra too because you’re really pretty
- “aye, get yer asses back to volleyball and stop starin’ at my girl like that.”
- you know it’s all fake, but him saying that kinda makes you blush anyways
- when you first agreed to fake dating him, you weren’t expecting that you’d have to spend too much time with him (he did tell you that he wasn’t looking for a real relationship) but that changes because osamu’s insistent that atsumu should at least try to be a good boyfriend and eat lunch with you and stuff
- you’re both aware that osamu doesn’t buy your little arrangement one bit
- atsumu’s got this raging pride when it comes to his twin brother, so he actually listens because now he’s made it his personal mission to convince osamu that you and him are actually dating
- it takes a while for you two to get into the hang of it, but once you do, it’s like a regular routine
- you and your best friend eat lunch with the twins (you and atsumu both watch as your best friend fumbles her way into talking with osamu), you drop by before work to give atsumu a kiss on the cheek before practice, he drops by the bakery after practice nearly everyday, and you come to his games while wearing a jersey that he lent you
- his teammates like you a lot and tease atsumu all the time because they claim that you’re way too good for him
- surprisingly, he always gets a little protective when they say things like that and always slips an arm around your waist
- one day when you’re over at his apartment, you help atsumu learn how to make macarons (with some help from osamu)
- it takes a while because he would get mad at the macarons when they would come out in weird shapes
- “stupid macarons! they got it out for me i’m tellin’ ya! they’re being like that on purpose!”
- LITERALLY A CHILD
- you learn to like that about him though
- dates with him are usually on the weekends (you both drag osamu and your best friend out with you) and it’s always something fun that osamu suggests because atsumu wasn’t joking when he said he sucks at real relationships
- most of these dates consist of holding hands as you walk around the streets until osamu sees a restaurant he wants to try out
- he always insists on feeding you at least once in your meal
- he also loves doing the walrus-chopsticks face?? (he only started doing it because he liked hearing you laugh)
- as time passes, you two start going on dates without osamu and your best friend (atsumu always claims that it’s because he wants to show osamu up, but you start to notice that osamu doesn’t even find out about these dates most of the time)
- you secretly like these dates better than those with osamu and your best friend because atsumu feels more at ease and will develop a softer tone around you during these dates
- eventually, he starts to always greet you with a forehead kiss whenever you’re in public (you’re not sure if he does it just because his brother is watching, or if maybe he might be starting to like you)
- you try to make your brain forget that most of the time, he kisses your forehead before osamu even walks in
- one day after practice, you’re waiting for him because you didn’t have a shift at the bakery that day
- he walks out of the club room looking mildly pissed and you’re a little wary
- but then he gets to where you’re standing and just pulls your waist towards him and full on kisses you
- mind you, this is your first kiss on the lips with him
- it’s not a quick peck either, like you can hear the wolf whistles from his teammates in the back and you’re left breathing hard and flushed pink afterwards
- damn if that’s what his kisses are like, you suddenly wish he’d do it more often
- “what was that for?”
- “nothin’”
- sometime in the future you find out that he did that because his teammates were once again talking about your relationship and one of them joked that atsumu paid you to pretend to be his girlfriend
- he knew that what you had wasn’t necessarily real, but he just had the urge to kiss you then (he swears to you that he doesn’t know why)
- he does know why. it was because it was starting to slip his mind that your relationship was fake and the reminder made him a little mad at himself
- he realizes that maybe he’s fallen in love with you when osamu brings it up
- atsumu had asked for osamu’s help because he wanted to surprise you by making you mochis for your upcoming four month anniversary of being his fake girlfriend (typing this out was so funny, this man is so whipped he doesn’t know it)
- “ya know, when i first met y/n, i was sure that it was all fake and that you’d slip up about it one day. i guess i was wrong.”
- atsumu doesn’t say anything to that because in his head he’s trying to convince himself that “no. this is all still fake.” but it’s hard to convince himself of that when his hands are covered in the rice flower that he’s using to make your favorite dessert for your four months of faking being together
- he tries not to think about what osamu said when he gives you the gifts later that night
- he tries not to think about it when he gets that funny feeling that he’s been feeling for a while now when he sees the way you light up upon opening the box of mochis
- he most definitely tries not to think about it when you accidentally give him your second kiss of the relationship because you were caught up in the spur of the moment
- it’s on the way home back to his apartment that night that he realizes he’s fucked
- because good god he’s fallen for you
- he tries to break it off after that
- you’re confused at how sudden it is, but you let him break it off because at that point you’re already in love with him and are still too scared to say it because you keep remembering how he always said that he didn’t want a real relationship
- IDIOTS IN LOVE YOU'RE BOTH SO .
- he tries to go back to normal after that
- but for the love of everything he just . can’t
- his eyes always linger a little too long on the door right before practice because you would always come see him before going to work
- his feet would instinctively move in the direction of the bakery after practices until he realizes what he’s doing and forces himself to go home
- his eyes would scan for your figure wearing his jersey during games until he remembers that you probably weren’t there and that you most definitely wouldn’t be wearing his jersey
- he wants to kick himself because the reason he asked you to be his fake girlfriend in the first place was because he didn’t want a real relationship
- yet here he was. wallowing because if there’s anything more he wants, it’s a real relationship with you
- osamu gets fed up with him eventually
- “take yer ass to the bakery right after practice. i’m not letting you into the apartment until you see her.”
- and surprisingly, he actually listens to his twin brother
- he walks into the bakery for the first time in a while and says “hey y/n. can i just have my usual? oh and an iced matcha.”
- you look up at him then because you vividly remember that night. how could you not?
- you’re in the middle of making his drink when you decide to ask him what’s up “everything alright?”
- “i may have outright lied to myself about loving you.”
- you nearly drop the drink in your hands
- “‘tsumu? what are you on about?”
- “i know i said that i’m no good at real relationships. but i’ve found that i want to learn to be good.”
- a pause
- “i want to learn with ya.”
Tumblr media
OIKAWA.
- this poor boy is always the butt of the jokes that come from his team
- seriously though. it’s always “tease oikawa day” (he teases them back so it’s all good)
- but one day, they’re all in the locker room when hanamaki brings up this girl that he’s planning on asking out because he’s not sure how to do it
- oikawa, being the little shit that he is, goes “step one, makki. have my face. step two, have my amazing personality. step three, ask her out.”
- he barely ducks in time to miss the shoe that comes flying towards his head
- “makki! such unbecoming behavior! my advice is perfect!”
- matsukawa snorts and says “perfect advice my ass. you can’t even get anyone to like you. let alone go out with you, crappykawa.”
- “don’t spread lies, mattsun.” oikawa clicks his tongue like a mother scolding his child. “or do you seem to forget the dozens of confessions i get on the daily along with the girls that you three complain about all the time because ugh shittykawa’s gonna make us late if he keeps talking to them” (he’s so dramatic lol he says that last part in this weird, whiny voice)
- iwaizumi scoffs. “doesn’t count when you reject every single one.”
- “i do not!”
- “right. right. as if you don’t make them cry because you’re so nice about rejecting them too.” (oikawa frowns at that one because he doesn’t mean to make them cry)
- “yeah, shittykawa, you’re pretty bad at love in general. i’d die before listening to your advice.” (this one is from matsukawa)
- “there’s also the fact that the girlfriend’s you did have all broke up with you because you would rather cuddle with a volleyball than cuddle with them.” (this one is from hanamaki)
- oikawa scowls at them “i don’t cuddle my volleyball.”
- “sure you don’t. just like you most definitely don’t have a name for it either.”
- “leave iwa-chan the second out of this!” (he drew an angry face on his volleyball too because he claims it looks like iwaizumi)
- iwaizumi groans. “i hate you. so so much.”
- at this point, oikawa knows they’re right, but he’s also really prideful. “and besides. i would suggest taking my advice because i got a girlfriend just today!”
- he most definitely did not
- “sure you did. hey mattsun, i bet a week tops until she breaks up with him.”
- “nah i’ll bet five days.”
- after practice, oikawa came up with a plan for the next day to get himself out of the hole he dug for himself
- he usually got confessions before school, so he told iwaizumi that he was going to school early to practice and instead waited for a girl to confess to him
- but the moment he saw this second-year walk up to him with a little box, he knew he wouldn’t be able to do it
- he couldn’t do that to this innocent girl
- and he tries to say yes to her. he really does.
- but he can practically hear his older sister’s voice yelling at him about how “even when you get popular and get confessions from people left and right, i don’t want you leading anyone on. you only accept a confession if you actually like them.”
- he’s probably more scared of his sister than he is of his own mother, so he says no to that second-year, even when she starts to frown and walk away
- he’s leaning against the gym and rubbing the bridge of his nose when he hears you
- “everything alright?”
- you two were pretty close because he found out that you had a crush on iwaizumi in your second year and tried to set you two up (it didn’t work because he’s pretty bad at being a wingman)
- even when iwaizumi rejected you, oikawa had already grown to like your presence, so you two stayed friends despite how his best friend broke your heart
- “y/n-chan! what are you doing here so early?”
- “just returning a book to the library before the librarian knocks down my door and kicks my ass for having an overdue library book. what are you doing here so early?”
- “would you believe me if i said that i was practicing volleyball?”
- you look him up and down, and the smell of fresh cologne reaches your nostrils. his uniform is neatly put together.
- “looking like that? no, no i would not.”
- “well, what would you believe?”
- “i don’t know .. the truth maybe?”
- “the truth is embarrassing and is defamation to my good name.” that makes you raise your brow at him.
- “okay now i only want to hear the truth. i will not accept anything but the truth. now tell me, what kind of embarrassment have you proved yourself to be this morning?”
- “so mean, y/n-chan! now i see why you so very adored our precious iwa-chan.”
- you groan because you don’t want to remember that rejection. “oh just hurry up and embarrass yourself instead of embarrassing me.”
- “but it’s quite embarrassing.”
- “come on, spit it out.”
- “i may or may not have told iwa-chan, makki, and mattsun that i have a girlfriend when i don’t have one.”
- you look at him like he’s the dumbest person you’ve ever met, because at that moment, you really believed that he was. “couldn’t you just … i don’t know … accept one of your many, many confessions?”
- oikawa tells you about his fear of his sister and the second-year that just confessed to him
- you find yourself admiring his sister because she’s probably the one person on this planet that can humble oikawa tooru (the next person to be able to do so will be you, but you don’t know that yet)
- after hearing his explanation you get an idea. “can’t you ask someone to fake being in a relationship with you? you know, so you don’t get the angry sister devil/angel thing on your shoulder?” (LOL if you don’t get what the angel/devil thing that i’m talking about is, it’s like when you have an imaginary angel and a devil that sits on your shoulders and criticizes every choice you make)
- “are you offering, y/n?” he has that shit-eating grin on his face again, so you know he’s mostly joking
- “hmm, i don’t know. i think you’ll have to formally ask me to be your fake girlfriend. it’s only polite after all.”
- oikawa blinks for a second because he didn’t actually think you were serious. “what?”
- “are you going to ask me to be your fake girlfriend or not? maybe throw in a flower and i’ll say yes.”
- oh. oh.
- well, he wasn’t going to let what might be his only opportunity to get someone to fake date him pass by
- he looks around and sees a small flower on the ground and picks it
- he takes both your hands and puts the flower in one of them before saying, “y/n-chan will you, take me, oikawa tooru, as your loving pretend boyfriend, and save me from irrevocable embarrassment?”
- you laugh in his face because he’s trying so hard not to laugh through his “proposal.”
- “minus points for not getting on one knee but i guess i do.”
- you mainly did it because you may have already gotten rejected by iwaizumi, but you did like the possibility of being friends with him, and fake dating oikawa would probably let you do that
- you also kind of felt bad for oikawa, knowing that he wasn’t exaggerating how embarrassing it would be if his teammates found out he was lying
- when you and oikawa walk up to the seijoh third-years while holding hands, makki and mattsun are jostling each other while iwaizumi looks mildly surprised
- “see matsun! pay up!”
- oikawa and you both look in surprise as mattsun reluctantly shoves a few bills into makki’s awaiting hand
- oikawa’s looking between them both. “what bet did you use me for this time?”
- “i bet mattsun that you and y/n secretly liked each other.”
- blink blink
- iwaizumi sees the mildly awkward situation brewing so he says, “anyways, y/n if you ever get tired of this dumbass, you’re more than welcome into our group. we’ll just kick oikawa out.”
- after that, you and oikawa fall into a dating routine easily (you have a pretty busy schedule too so both you and oikawa understand each other schedules well)
- usually this is where oikawa’s relationships fail. he spends so much time with volleyball and the team that he doesn’t really spend time with his significant others
- it’s different with you though. maybe it’s the fact that the stakes aren’t so high because it’s only a fake relationship after all, or maybe it’s because unlike his past significant others, you don’t mind spending most of your time and “dates” with the other seijoh third-years, or maybe it’s because he remembers that locker room conversation and he wants to prove to makki, mattsun, and iwaizumi that he can be a good boyfriend (even if it’s a good fake boyfriend)
- dates with oikawa are usually laid-back because he’s tired from practice (so like walks in the park, getting ice cream, or study dates where you don’t get much done because you spend most of it just laughing and cooking in his kitchen)
- you find that he’s secretly a decent cook (the only thing keeping from saying that he’s a good cook is because he can’t cut vegetables for his life, and he also managed to accidently burn the onions you were trying to caramelize).
- neither of you acknowledge the fact that since nobody’s there to see those dates, you two technically don’t have to go on them since it’s only a fake relationship
- oh and takeru LOVES you
- seriously. he thinks you’re probably the coolest person ever (he tells you one day that he thinks you’re even cooler than oikawa and oikawa is a pouting mess the rest of your day. you can only pull him out of his slump when you jump on his back and force him to run to the bakery and buy milk bread)
- sometimes you’ll come with oikawa when he needs to watch takeru
- as takeru teaches you how to receive a volleyball, oikawa will watch you two with a little smile on his face (this loser is so whipped like man people passing by reminisce on how they were young and in love once because oikawa looks at you like that. oikawa doesn’t notice that he’s doing it though.)
- you sometimes spend time at his house with iwaizumi or on select days just by yourself (mostly for study dates or for watching weird sci-fi movies that oikawa seems to love)
- since you’re at his house so often, oikawa’s mother takes a liking to you because “you finally got her boy to care about something that isn’t volleyball.”
- it’s when oikawa groans a “moooom” in response that you start to feel those pesky butterflies
- oikawa will run up to you after games and just hold you tightly (he tells himself that it’s because his fan club and the team are watching, but really it’s because he can’t thank you enough for being there because he just plays better when you’re watching)
- my god, dUDE . he has no idea that he loves you like . MAN .
- mattsun, makki, and iwaizumi always tease oikawa about how you’re so much cooler than him
- oikawa whines to you and says, “y/n-channn they’re being mean again!”
- “what do you want me to do about it?”
- oikawa pouts like the baby he is and says, “kiss,” while pointing to his cheek. you give in and a round of groans comes from mattsun and makki. oikawa looks so smug and those pesky stomach feelings come back. iwaizumi is smiling to himself.
- speaking of iwaizumi
- you two become best friends after he finds you looking dejected as you wait for oikawa to get out of practice. you confided with him about how your relationship was all pretend. you might have also told him that you may be teensy bit in love with his captain
- iwaizumi tells you that, “there are some things you just ... can’t fake. the way that shithead looks at you is one of them. trust me.”
- he also tells you that his suspicion that you and oikawa had this weird spark was what kept him from ever reciprocating your feelings and why he rejected you (oikawa literally tried being your wingman before by texting iwaizumi things like “did you see how pretty y/n was today? don’t you think she was pretty?” and “iwa-chan! y/n is so funny and that’s coming from me, so she really is funny! i think maybe you should talk to her to see what i’m talking about (≧◡≦)”)
- at this point everyone knows that you’re in love with oikawa for real (except for oikawa himself)
- everyone also knows that oikawa’s fallen for you (except for oikawa himself, and you because you refuse to believe it)
- the moment he realizes he’s in love with you is on another one of those dates that you both know you don’t have to have but still choose to have anyway
- you’re making milk bread and he’s helping to measure the ingredients when he turns around to see you covered in flour and he just kinda stops
- and he realizes
- like yeah he’s been getting that small tugging feeling with you a lot over these past few months
- but now he finally realizes it’s because he’s in love with you
- he’s staring for a long time and for a second you think he’s going to make fun of your flour-coated self, but he’s staring at you with that look and you’re confused
- “everything okay? is there something wrong? did you mess up the measurements?”
- then an idea hits him
- “something’s wrong. it’s kind of embarassing though.”
- “what is it?”
- “no but it’s really embarrassing.”
- “what .. what is it?”
- cue cheeky little grin. “i think i might’ve fallen in love with my fake girlfriend. i don’t have another flower to ask her out though. i hope she doesn’t say no.”
- you kiss him for the first time then and take pride in the fact that you get him covered in flour in the process
Tumblr media
KUROO.
- it happened the second day that you were at the tokyo training camp
- kuroo was with bokuto and a few of the karasuno first-years when bokuto started telling the first-years that kuroo had a girlfriend because he saw kuroo helping you carry your bags the day before (listen . this man is like . clueless when it comes to emotions sometimes i’msosorry)
- kuroo got this confused look on his face because he thought he would remember getting a girlfriend. “i do?”
- “don’t you? remember the girl you were holding hands with yesterday?”
- this was all some big misunderstanding
- so basically what happened was this: you’re shinzen’s team manager and you were tasked with carrying bags of equipment to the training center. kuroo was waiting for kenma to finish talking with lev (more like trying to avoid though lmao) and noticed that you were struggling so he came over to help
- kuroo figured that bokuto must’ve seen him holding the bags for you and assumed that something must’ve been going on (or maybe he looked over for the split second when kuroo held your hand in order to transfer the bags to his hand)
- he was about to clear things up when lo and behold, you walked into the gym
- “kuroo look! it’s your girlfriend! hey, come join us!”
- bless bokuto’s soul. bless that poor, oblivious soul.
- you walked up to them and looked at kuroo like “what??”
- you remembered him from the day before, but you didn’t remember ever agreeing to being his girlfriend of any sort
- he smiled apologetically at you and asked to talk to you on the side
- “what’s going on? why did he call me your .. girlfriend?”
- “look i’m sorry, bo’s a little … i don’t know. he saw me carrying your bags yesterday and assumed. i’ll clear things up, don’t worry.”
- when you two headed back to where bokuto is standing, it was obvious that kuroo’s smooth-sailing explanation wasn’t happening anytime soon
- because lev was there, and so was yaku
- “KUROO-SENPAI? THIS IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND? SHE’S VERY PRETTY SENPAI!” (bless lev’s soul too. another part of the extremely oblivious club.)
- yaku took no hesitation in teasing kuroo. “since when does kuroo ever get any girl to like him? this is new. no offense, of course.”
- kuroo tried clearing up the air by saying, “guys- listen this has all been som-“
- hinata doesn’t let him finish either lmao “YOU’RE THE TEAM MANAGER FOR SHINZEN!” (extremely oblivious club member number 3 here)
- “a team manager, kuroo? what’d you do to get her to say yes? is she a chemistry nerd too?”
- “bo-“
- they kinda just went like that back and forth, and kuroo kept getting interrupted
- you were just laughing to the side because it was kind of funny
- you also kinda felt bad for kuroo because damn his friends had like no faith in his romantic skills at all??
- maybe that was what made you say it, but after his friends were done teasing him you said, “he’s kind of a catch though, don’t you think? nerdy and funny is a girl’s dream isn’t that what they say?”
- kuroo blinked at you because what??
- once kuroo got you alone by asking you to take a walk outside of the gym, he asked, “so … what does this make us?” (surprise, surprise, he never got the chance to tell them about the misunderstanding)
- you just shrugged because really how bad could this be? “i felt bad at how much they were teasing you, so we could keep up the fake boyfriend/girlfriend thing for the week. it shouldn’t be too bad. plus it’ll save you the embarrassment of having to tell your friends that you didn’t actually get a girlfriend.”
- you guys did pretty good for the week of the training camp
- you’d cheer him on in secret if he got a spike or a block during a practice game while simultaneously still watching shinzen’s game
- you two walked around the halls when bokuto was watching just to keep up pretenses
- you learned that he’s a major nerd during these walks, which you found really endearing
- on the last day of camp, he tried to throw pieces of broccoli in your mouth (he didn’t stop until he finally got it in after his 9th try)
- you guys initially planned to “break up” after the camp was over
- but here comes bokuto again
- “hey y/n! kuroo, akaashi, and i were gonna go out for karaoke tomorrow if you wanna join.”
- you grew to like bokuto too so you said you’d come
- it was actually a really fun night
- you and kuroo sang a duet together
- he also stole some of your ramen
- you took a video of bokuto as he serenaded akaashi
- when you guys are leaving to go home, bokuto goes “you two are so cute. y/n do me a favor and don’t break up with kuroo until after the qualifiers would you? i wanna play him at his full game.” (again. seriously, he basically is the greatest accidental wingman ever)
- “we can’t break his heart, can we?”
- “no, we can’t.”
- and so your fake relationship starts
- you don’t get to visit each other often because you don’t live in the same vicinity, but you guys text often (it’s a friend thing, you both swear to yourselves)
- on weekends when kuroo’s not spending time with kenma, he’ll ask you to meet him at a park or a cafe (you two always send selfies to bokuto during every date)
- dates with him are always really fun because he’s spontaneous and also very active so sometimes he’ll take you by the hand and just drag you places
- he is not afraid to smear different colors of ice cream on your nose and call you some obscure name from some really old movie that he may have watched that week
- he also makes you push him on the swings
- the little kids get mad because what is this rooster man doing taking up a swing when he’s so old
- you laugh at him when the kids eventually come up to him and ask if they can use the swing
- dates will usually last the whole day because you’re both fine with just walking around and randomly finding stuff to do
- with all that time spent talking, you two also get to know each other really well
- like basically your life stories
- it took him a while to open up and at first he insists that you tell your story first, but after a while you notice how he starts letting little things about his life slip here and there until he starts telling you bigger portions
- you also get really close with kenma
- not close close the way him and kuroo are, but kenma would probably see you as his second closest friend
- that’s why sometimes kenma tags along with you guys (it doesn’t feel like third wheeling or anything because both you and kuroo enjoy kenma’s presence as much as each other’s)
- eventually, once you two got the hang of it, you’re like the couple that everyone likes
- because you’re both pretty funny and overall just have nice vibes
- his team starts to call you mom and dad as a joke because sometimes when shinzen doesn’t have practice, you’ll stop by at nekoma at the end of practice just to say hi
- they’re not wrong about the mom and dad thing though (it’s a really cute dynamic though i swear)
- your team used to not like him at first because they were protective of you, but eventually they reluctantly warmed up to him
- they threatened to demolish him if he hurt you though
- LMAO ANYWAYS .. MOVING ON
- you guys have lots of study dates too!!
- since you’re both busy because of volleyball related things, a lot of your schedule lines up with each other (this also means that kuroo knows when you haven’t had time to study)
- you’ll be sitting on his bed on your stomach with your legs draped across his thighs as you read your textbook and he’ll be sitting against his bed frame reading one of his assigned readings (i also like to think that kuroo has glasses for these readings that only you and kenma have seen)
- sometimes, when you finish studying before he finishes, you’ll come up behind him and just start to play with his hair
- his hair is actually really soft despite looking like a bird built its nest in it
- you also have two of his jackets that are just lying around your house
- he likes when you wear them because he thinks you look so cute (he doesn’t tell you that though)
- after a while, it’s like both of you have forgotten that this was all a ruse just so bokuto wouldn’t get heartbroken after you two break up
- at this point, kuroo has learned all your quirks, habits, and has also memorized your schedule
- like … he doesn’t realize that he’s fallen for you until someone points it out
- he realizes he’s fallen for you on the day that shinzen loses in the tournament (this would be your last match)
- now nekoma just played a game, but kuroo’s first instinct is to check whether or not shinzen won (he’s been doing this for every game in the tournament)
- when he sees that you lost, he knows that you’ll be sad and in need of a pick me up
- as kenma and him are packing up, he says, “shinzen lost today. i probably can’t make it to your house tonight. y/n will probably want to go out with her team for a bit, but she’ll probably crash at my place. do you think i should make her a strawberry cake? or maybe she’ll want onigiri? no, she’ll probably want the cake. she always gets the little smile with her one dimple whenever she eats my strawberry cake. makes me proud.”
- kenma’s just looking at kuroo with arched eyebrows because HIS BEST FRIEND IS WHIPPED
- kuroo doesn’t get why kenma’s looking at him like that because he thinks about things like that all the time. “what??”
- oh kenma knows your relationship is fake
- so he just looks at kuroo and says, “try to refrain getting down on one knee today. i doubt you have a ring, and i’ll bet that y/n will want a confession of you being hopelessly, madly in love with her before you propose by the way.”
- kuroo kind of freezes and blinks at him.
- “wh … what?”
- “kuro, do i really need to spell out for you that you’re totally smitten with her? you have been for a while now.”
- “have not.”
- “yes, you have.”
- “have not.”
- “yes, you have.”
- “have not.”
- “yes, you have.”
- at this point, kuroo knows that kenma’s onto something, but kuroo doesn’t wanna jump to conclusions until he sees you again
- when you knock on his door and run straight into his arms that night, he knows kenma’s right
- like you’re balling into his chest and he gets that feeling that he wants to hold you forever and never let go
- and he knows. he knows.
- after you start to calm down, he offers you the cake that he made just for you
- he swears that he feels ten times lighter after he sees that exact smile with the exact dimple on your face
- now kuroo may be loud, and rambunctious at times, but when he loves, it’s quiet, simple, but not any less there
- as you finish eating the cake, kuroo notices that there’s a few pink crumbs on your lips
- and he kisses you
- like a “slow, hand on the cheek, nose touching after he pulls away” kind of kiss
- “i made a realization today. kenma told me to hold back on proposing, so i’ll go with confessing instead.”
- you’re looking up at him with your heart beating hard in your chest
- “i think you might’ve made me fall in love with you.”
sorry if there are any mistakes lmao i tried catching all of them but ... 6k words ...... yanno. .....

Congrats on the 420 honey! You deserve it!!!
For your 420 event could I pretty please get Tanaka with She/Her pronouns?
Date idea #6 Reality #5
Can you also put edible #6?
Okay I love you and congrats again!
Tumblr media
Oh my god thank you so much for this I had so much fun writing it!!
Event Masterlist
Tanaka x fem!reader + theme park + soulmate au + scarf kiss
Okay so for this soulmate AU I couldn’t choose which one I wanted so I choose both of these hopefully you like it haha
1. Colors of things or places your soulmate’s been/touched are brighter and more vivid.
2. Whenever you lose an item (like a sock), it ends up in your soulmates’ possession somehow
For spring break you and your friends decided to take a group to a theme park a couple towns over. It was perfect except for the fact the fact that it was a cool spring day.
“Hey Yui! Have you seen my scarf?” You were searching your room frantically. Since it was a little chilly you wanted to wear your scarf instead of a jacket since you’ll be outside all day.
“I haven’t. When was the last time you saw it?” She asks from her spot on your bed doing her makeup.
“Just a few days ago! I had washed it because it fell in the mud, remember?”
She nods putting the mascara wand back and twisting it closed “maybe your soulmate has it now”
You groan and flop backwards on a pile of clothing “you’re probably right. It was my favorite too.”
“Don’t they also have your favorite daisy earrings, your tamagotchi, and the left shoe of your favorite heals you wore to prom?”
You chuckle “yeah they do. I hope they’re taking care of my tamagotchi baby”
“Those things are so old I can’t believe you still took care of it religiously”
“It was my baby! It was my job to take care of it!”
She laughs and rolls her eyes “what do you have of his?”
“Uuuhhh” you look around and start grabbing random things “this little volleyball charm I keep meaning to put on my keys. This sweatshirt that has a bleach stain but is obviously super loved. And this water bottle” you take a drink from it and Yui looks at the bottle, feeling that she’s seen it somewhere.
She shakes her head “anyway. Are you ready? We have to go soon if we want to meet the rest of the group”
You sigh and pull yourself up to sitting again “yeah I’m ready. I’m just gonna go with no jacket or scarf and hopefully the thrill of the theme park will keep me warm”
☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎
“Is this yours?” Tanaka asks Saeko and she shakes her head “nope!” She says with a pop on the p sound “must be your soulmate’s again” Tanaka felt his stomach fill with butterflies. He wraps the scarf around his neck as he heads out the door, noya and the other guys waiting for him on the doorstep “see you later little bro! Do what I would do and have some fun!” Saeko calls out with a laugh
☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎
“Who else is gonna be here?” You ask as you slip the volleyball charm on your keys, the water bottle in the side pocket of your backpack as you walk towards the theme park gates from the car
“The boys VB club, the rest of our club, and a few guys from other schools that the boys invited” Yui says as you get to the line
“Are we meeting them somewhere?” You ask and she nods
“For lunch we are all supposed to meet up at the pizza place by the dragon ride. Or at least that’s what Noya told me”
You smile “so then we have a few hours to do what we want!”
You ride the crazy rides first, screaming beside Michimiya as they twist and turn and make you feel dizzy. “This is the best day” you say after you stumble off the dragon ride, dizzy and not able to walk in a straight line. “But the pizza place is right there so let’s go claim a table before it fills up”
You were the first ones you guys knew at the pizza place, claiming the largest table as you waited for the rest of the group.
Asahi and Daichi came first, Daichi sitting right next to Yui and chatting like usual. Part of you hoped they would be soulmates but Yui said the things she has don’t belong to him and the yellow flip flop he had wasn’t hers.
Boys you didn’t really recognize came next, filling in around the table as some went to order. Noya and Tanaka came next just as a chill from the breeze went through you. “Y/n how come you don’t have a jacket?” Noya asks as he sits beside you. “I wanted a scarf but I lost mine today so I decided I’d rather be a little cold than have to carry around a jacket all day”
Tanaka’s ears perked up. You lost a scarf? He wanted to rush over to you and ask if you also lost daisy earrings and a shoe and a tamagotchi? But he controlled himself and sat across from you, his hands messing with the ends of the scarf around his neck.
You noticed Tanaka’s scarf, but that couldn’t be yours, it was too vivid of a red to be yours. Yours was plain red, a muted color you liked.
When you all got up to finally order, Tanaka pulled Noya aside “switch me seats” he said and Noya raised his brows “okay. Why?”
“Because she lost a scarf. And this” he holds out the ends “isn’t mine. It just showed up today.”
“She could be your soulmate?!” Noya exclaims and places his hands on Tanaka shoulders, jumping in excitement “that’s amazing!!”
Tanaka hushes him “keep calm bro. This might just be a coincidence. I need to do some recon” noya grins “oooh right right right okay okay. You got it! Let me know if I can do anything”
Tanaka sits beside you at the table and you raise your eyebrows at Noya across from you. He just grins and takes the biggest bite of pizza you’ve ever seen, making you laugh.
Tanaka places a bottle of water next to your plate and you cover your mouth, still chewing a little as you ask “is that for me?” You meet his eye and he nods, a blush on his ears.
“Thank you Tanaka!“ You say place your hand on his forearm that was on the table, giving it a light squeeze.
“No problem y/n” he takes another bite of his pizza.
You pull out your water bottle from your bag and unscrew the top, pouring the water he got you into your bottle, empty from the first half of the day.
“TANAKA!” Noya shouts and you look up at him with a confused look “yes? Noya?” Tanaka says stiffly, trying to get him to shut up and calm down. His eyes said ‘yes. I see it. Be cool dude’
“Uuuh I was thinking we should uhhh GET COTTON CANDY!” He tries to cover it and nods proud of himself, you look to Tanaka and he looks a little nervous but responds with the same amount of excitement “yea!! I agree!! I love cotton candy”
You chuckle softly, pushing your empty plate away “I like the pink kind best” you say with a smile and Tanaka’s heart starts to race at how cute you looked.
“No way! The blue kind!” He says back and rocks his shoulder playfully into yours
“No the blue kind tastes like it’s just trying to hard to be better than pink. It’ll never win”
“Wanna bet?” He asks and you laugh
“What are we betting?”
“How about we decide that after we see who wins?”
“Ooh I like it. More of a risk” you say with a laugh “you’re on” you hold out your hand and he takes it with a firm shake.
“What ride should we hit next?” Yui asks and she pulls out the park map, unfolding it and placing it on the table.
“How about we go in a huge circle around the back that way we can hit the cotton candy stand here” you point to the back of the map “then we can hit all the best ones on our way out”
Tanaka watched as your finger traced a path on the page, watching as the colors of the paper changed with your touch, becoming more vivid and bright. He gasped softly and you looked over to him
“Did you have a different idea?” You ask and he shakes his head, you thought it was weird that he was being so quiet but you didn’t pry.
The rides on this side of the park were slower and more interactive. You had fun shooting lasers through one ride, then number cars the next, feeling special every time Tanaka wanted to sit beside you.
you get to a teacup ride and Tanaka takes your hand when the gates open, leading you directly to the blue one in the middle. You laugh as he pulls you along.
“Are you ready for this?” He asks with a grin and you laugh, nodding as the music began and the ride started. His hands move to the wheel in the middle and for a moment you think it actually changes colors. His hands moved the wheel as fast as he possibly could, making your world spin and making you laugh uncontrollably. The wheel he was turning was such a vivid shade of blue now but you didn’t know if it wasn’t always like that.
Tanaka loved the sound of your laughter, it was beautiful, like a song just for him. When the ride ended he took note of your messy hair and the tears from the corner of your eyes from laughing so hard. You looked like an angel. His angel.
As you wait for the ride to stop completely you just look at each other, panting from laughing so hard with smiles on your faces. It was like the world stopped and gave you two this special moment.
“Come on kids! Cotton candy time!” Noya shouts as the doors to the teacups open and everyone shuffles out.
Tanaka exits first, holding his hand out to help you which you gladly take. Smiling and feeling your cheeks heat under his soft gaze.
“Ready to lose this bet?” He asks and squeezes your hand but doesn’t let it go as you walk behind your friends
“I don’t know Tanaka, are you?”
He laughs “I’m ready to win” he says with a goofy grin and you felt your heart race.
You didn’t really know what was happening. You and Tanaka were friends but you hadn’t been this flirty before. He’s told you that you were gorgeous but most of the time he was all over Kiyoko asking her if she’s got any of his lost items. (She hadn’t. Her soulmate wa someone from a different school who she’s already met)
“You get blue. I’ll get pink. And then we will share and compare” you say as you wait in line at the stand
“No lying. Say what you honestly think” he adds and you laugh
“Of course. No cheating”
Noya behind you speaks up “but they also have green and yellow. What if those are better?”
You and Tanaka speak at the same time “they’re not”
Making you laugh and making noya wanna vom at how cute it was.
You get your cotton candy and drop his hand to open your bag, humming in delight when you popped a bit in your mouth. “Pink is definitely better” you say and offer him some but something beeps in his pocket and his hands are a little occupied with holding his blue cotton candy and fishing around in his pocket he just opens his mouth with a little smile and sparkle in his eye.
You don’t miss a beat, placing the bit of, to his eye vibrantly pink, cotton candy on his tongue and accidentally brushing his bottom lip when you pulled away your hand.
“Yeah” he says “pink is amazing. But just wait for blue” he pulls out the thing he was looking for in his pocket and it was a pink tamagotchi. “Sorry. Gotta feed it too” he says and you laugh
“it’s fine. I had one of those before but I lost it. I think my soulmate has it and I just hope they are taking care of my little guy” you watch as his thumb presses the buttons. That couldn’t be yours. It was too bright of pink. You had a lighter pink version.
“Hey what’s that?” Yui asks when she comes to chat with you “he has a tamagotchi too isn't that cool?” You say and she nods “that’s pretty neat. Yours is pink too” you shake your head “not that pink though! It’s vibrant and mine is lighter than that” Michimiya gives you a look like you’re the stupidest girl she’s ever met and you raise your eyebrows “what?” She shakes her head with a laugh and changes the subject
“So what color is better?”
You gasp and turn to Tanaka who has a mouth full of blue already and you laugh at him, cheeks flushing s little because of how oddly adorable it was.
“Let me try” you say and he pulls off a piece, raising it to your lips and you smile and let him feed you, feeling your face heat even more.
“Pink is better” you say just as he says “Blue is better” making you laugh and making Yui give you a smile before she quietly left you guys to figure it out.
“I don’t think you had enough pink” you say and he shakes his head “I think your taste buds are broken” you gasp “hey!” You say and playfully slap his shoulder. He smirks and you watch as he places a vibrantly blue piece of cotton candy into his mouth.
“Try some more pink” you say and hold your bag out to him, finally beginning to realize that the colors aren’t just random.
He takes a piece of your candy and you withhold a gasp from the way it changed from normal pink to vibrantly pink.
“Okay okay” he says after a few more bites and then comparing them side by side “I think you’re right. Pink is better”
He looks up to you, finding you wide eyed and staring quietly at his hands “are you okay?” He asks and you shake off your shocked feelings. Warmth and excitement taking their place in your heart.
“So since I won that means you need to do something for me, right?” You ask and he nods
“What can I do for you, malady?” He asks and you chuckle at his goofy ways.
“Maybe you could give me back my scarf” you say softly and he gasps “you figured it out” he said and you nod with a laugh
“It took me almost all day but I finally realized”
“That we’re soulmates” he finishes for you with a dopey grin and you nod “yeah. That were soulmates”
You don’t know when all your friends abandoned you but you weren’t really worried. You take your backpack off one shoulder and open it, storing your leftover candy as well as his.
“So. What now?” You ask with a laugh and he shrugs “I. I don’t know. I didn’t think past this.”
“How about..”
You reach up and take a hold of the scarf, he assumes to take it off him but he gasps when you pull him down to your level with it “how about this?” You suggest and bring your lips an inch away from his
“Yes. Yes I like this” he says and cups your cheeks as he connects your lips together.
The moment his lips touched yours it was like the sky exploded. Your body tingled and you saw vibrant colors behind your eyelids as he kisses you, quick peppering of pecks across your lips to make you chuckle before you wrap your arms around his neck and melt into him. Your tongues and lips moving together as the rest of the world melts away.
“Okay.. gross” a small child said in passing and you break apart to start laughing with him. “It wasn’t gross” he says with a hurt expression but you just guide him back down to give him one last peck. “Come on, soulmate. Let’s go meet back up with our friends so we don’t miss out on the dragon ride”
“So you should have my vb keychain and my hoodie as well” he says and you nod “and you should have my daisy earrings and my shoe” he nods “amazing” he says softly and you return his smile. “I’m glad it’s you” he says and you raise your eyebrows “really? You’re not sad it’s not Kiyoko?” You look down and he reaches out to tilt your face back up to look at him “I’m so glad it’s you. Kiyoko was a crush. But you, everything is so much brighter now. I feel like my world has changed”
You spot Noya first and he runs up to Tanaka “so?” He asks and you laugh “did you know?” You ask and he nods “the water bottle” he says and you laugh, forgetting all about that.
You spent the rest of the day holding his hand and flirting, watching as colors of things changed when he touched them and experimenting with it. You rode the crazy rides one last time as you held his hand as he sat next to you. When it came time to leave, him and noya ask to ride back with you guys and you can’t hide your excitement.
Noya takes the passenger seat while Yui drives and you sit in the back with Tanaka. Within ten minutes you’re both passed out and cuddled into each other and Yui can’t help but smile. She couldn’t wait to find her soulmate and couldn’t help the twinge of jealousy she felt that you found yours first.

The Burdens of Lordship
Jaune decided he needed to go get out for a night, and by himself.
It had been a long couple of months at Beacon, hard, difficult, and nowhere near-easy for a fake like himself.
But, he had made it so far with Pyrrha and his teams help.
He be dead without them, hells, he’d be dead without Ruby too.
But, with all these new teams coming in today... It felt so damn suffocating, even more than usual. Like they could see through him, see that he didn’t belong here.
So, it brought him here, getting dressed for a knight on the town, heh, he’d made a Yang.
A nice pair of cream slacks, a royal blue dress shirt, a black vest on top of it lined with faux-gold buttons, a pair of nice brown loafers, and fine leather belt to bring the suit together. Contrarily to Yang and Weiss’s opinion, he did know how to dress himself, being raised by his parents plus seven overbearing sisters taught him enough, it’s just, since he came to Beacon he’s actually had the freedom to wear what he wanted.
Tonight though? He want to look better than he felt. So, he brushed his a hair enough to look presentable, and went out into the dorm.
“Well, how did I dooooo-” Jaune didn’t get to finish as Nora barreled pasted into the bathroom, knocking him to the side.
Pyrrha stifled a laugh and Ren gave the barest hint of a apolegtic smile.
Jaune steadied himself, giving a laugh at his own expense. He couldn’t blame Nora for having to go to the bathroom, could he?
“Well, how do I look?” Jaune asked his partner and his friend.
Pyrrha gave him a friendly smile and nodded approvingly. “Quite lovely, Jaune. You look dashing.”
“Ah, thanks Pyr.” Jaune said with a slight blush, it always felt nice to be complimented.
Ren looked on more skeptically, with a hand on his chin. “Turn around.”
Jaune did as asked.
“Ok, do some stretches.”
Jaune complied with his team-mates wishes, surely he would notice if he missed something. 
“Alright, you look passable. Here,” Ren approached Jaune squirted a few drops of cologne, and helped straighten out his outfit. “And now you look, as Pyrrha put it, quite dashing.” Ren said with a light smile.
“Thanks, Ren.” Jaune said another light blush on his cheeks. “Well, I guess I should be going then.”
“Wait,” Ren said putting a hand on his shoulder. “You’re forgetting something.” He looked over to Pyrrha and she handed the boys Crocea Mors.
Jaune looked on incredulous. “Why would I need Crocea Mors?”
Ren shook his head. “You’re a huntsman, you must look the part at all times. Plus...”
Jaune frowned, knowing where he was leading. “It’ll make me less likely to be mugged or something.” 
Jaune knew he was a still noodly, and looked kinda weak. But he was working really hard on that!
Jaune still took his blade without complaint, admittedly he has gotten so used to wearing it, he started feeling off when not wearing it.
Pyrrha rubbed a hand on his shoulder. “It’s not like that Jaune, it’s not we’re concerned about you getting hurt, far from it, the odds of someone attacking you and them being huntsman trained are one in some hundred. We’re actually more concerned that someone might mug you and...”
Ren chimed in, “Well, you’re not Nora strong, but you’re being trained and have Aura, and that’s more than enough to hospitalize someone without one or both.”
Jaune grimaced at the idea. While he didn’t fancy himself strong or powerful, it as kinda hard to deny he hadn’t been making progress, last week he had managed to take off the head of one of the old drones that General Ironwood had donated to the academy. A regular human probably require much, much less effort.
So he nodded. “I see your point. Better to deter them, before they make a attempt.”
“Also, Ruby would be peeved if you didn’t start taking this.” Then Pyrrha pushed a black hand-canon into his hand. She then looked him in the eyes. “I’d also be rather put out, considering I paid for it.” A sly grin in her eyes.
Jaune sighed and equipped the gun to his waist opposite of Crocea Mors. Ever since he had started training with Pyrrha seriously, she had quite insistent about covering his ranged issues. So his devious partner, had behind his back teamed up with his best friend and local gun-nut, Ruby Rose, to make him a custom-hand canon.
Her evils truly knew no bounds. They had even come up with a name for it the devils! Noctis Mors.
Ruby had been a cruel task-master in teaching him the in’s and outs of shooting Noctis Mors, she had made him assemble and reassemble her until his hands bled gun oil. Suffice to say, while Noctis Mors felt a little strange on his hip, he was getting used to it.
“Thank you, Pyrrha.” He said, and pulled her into a hug, which she reciprocated.
“Better to have it and not need it, then to needed and not have it.”
Jaune smiled and shook his head, his friends were too good to him.
“Tell Nora, I said bye.”
Ren nodded his head. “You should leave before she loads you up with some grenades.”
Jaune shivered at the thought, he might be coming around to using Noctis Mors, but he doubted he’d ever get used to high-caliber explosives, He’d leave that to his crazy ginger bomber.
“Well, bye guys, I’ll see you later tonight.” Jaune said to his friend and Partner.
“Bye, Jaune.”
“Try not to eat to unhealthily!”
“I make no such promises!” Jaune said with a laugh, slipping out of the dorm.
Jaune made his way down the hallways of the dorm toward to the stairs that led outside. Where he encounters a quartet of familiar faces.
Jaune gave a friendly wave to Team RWBY as he walked towards them.
“Jaune!” Ruby said speeding over. “What are you up too? You’re not trying to ask Weiss out again are you?”
Jaune gave a eye-roll. “No, just heading out for the night. Just thought, I be a good friend and say hi.” Jaune said with stress on the word friend.
Ruby gave a laugh. “Sure, you are.”
The rest of her team caught up. Weiss in particular looked at him with suspicion,
“So, VB, whats the occasion for looking so sharp, you got a hot date tonight?” Yang asked giving him a approving nod.
“Hah, no, not tonight. I, uh, just gotta to get out for a night. You know? I just feel so trapped lately, and I want to not really think about things for a night.”
Ruby gave him a sympathetic nod.
While surprisingly Blake, the one he probably never interacted with, looked at him with a surprising level of empathy. “Yeah, I know what you mean. I hope you find what you’re looking for tonight.”
“Yeah me, too.”
Weiss then choose to cut in. “So, you don’t know what you’re looking for then?” Giving him a sharp look.
Jaune almost buckled under her gave, but straighten his back. “Uh, no, but, It’s not like I’m just idling around in Vale all nigh, I’ve got a couple places to hit up, but it’s not like I’m keeping to strict schedule, I either get to them or I don’t, I’m just trying to de-stress is all.”
Weiss huffed in disapproval, but said nothing in return. The Ice Queens love of schedules and appointments was approaching that of legend.
Yang then slung an arm around his shoulders, though she had to lean up to so. “Well, VB, that sounds fun and all, but Team RWBY as places to be and butts to kick, so go have your fun.” 
Jaune untangled himself. “That’s the plan, you guys go stop crime or whatever trouble you’ll get up to.”
“We don’t always do that!”
Jaune raised a suspicious brow at that.
“We don’t!”
“Sure.” Then Jaune turned and walked away, feeling as though he had won that conversation.
As he was leaving, he heard Weiss call out. “Arc.” Jaune turned to looked at her. “Try to not make a fool out of yourself, tonight.” The barest hint of what may one day be a smile on her face.
“That’s not on the list, but I’ll add it in anyway.” He said turning around, not bothering to try to find sort of conversation with her. He knew where they stood relationship wise, and if it could improve over time, that sounds good, if not, well all he could hope is keeping thing civil.
-------
Jaune made sure to pop something for his motion-sickness before he bordered the bullhead, so the flight down wasn’t as terrible as it could be, it was still awful, but at least he wasn’t spewing his guts everywhere.
His stomach feeling wobbly made he strike eating off the list for now, so he choose his first destination, and walked through one of Vales, many, many parks. Admiring the well-tended plant-life and occasionally waving at anybody who waved at him.
After his stomach settled, he decided to walk towards the closest bookstore, and just browsed till he founded something interesting. He had less-time with keeping up with comic and whatever came out of Mistral, since coming to Beacon. Still he left the store with couple interesting comics and even a couple books on stuff relating to huntsman actives.
Finally his stomach had decided to let him know, he could refill it. He ended up at a nice steak house, and somehow managed to get to a table in under a hour.
Jaune set at a table looking over a menu, he had already decided on what steak he want, now it was just onto sides.
A waitress then made herself known. “Hello, hello, what can I get you today?”
Jaune recited his order. 
“Right, well have it out as soon as possible. Also, from the rest of us here, we’d like to think you for your service.”
Jaune’s face crunched in confusion.
“Huntsmen are a invaluable part of our society, and as such, we’d like you to know that your meal is on the house tonight, if you require anything else, please just call.”
Then his waitress left, somehow managing to make Jaune feel appreciated and also like a complete piece of shit.
----
The meal was delicious, and Jaune had made sure to leave a nice tip anyway before leaving.
Did his dad get free meals like that? Did all huntsmen just get their bill wavered?
Jaune paused for a moment and sat on a bench, thinking.
He stares out into the evening light and all the people out there, living there lives, good or bad, they were still people weren’t they? They were probably didn’t even think about how to they need to get stronger, or how to kill the next grimm they face, were they?
They shouldn’t have to either? Should they, since that was his job kinda. Jaune thought for a second, he might not be a real huntsman, or even a real huntsman in training, but whats to stop him from faking it till he made it for real? What does it matter if the arms that carrys the sword has trained for two years or two months, if it can cut, it can serve.
If people were going to honor him as a huntsman, he was going to honor them by acting like one.
There wasn’t a smile on his face, but there wasn’t a frown either.
He didn’t have time to idle anymore, he needed to get back and work off this meal.
‘KAAAA-BOOOOM!!!’ A sound like none Jaune had heard before tore the air into pieces, it was so loud that it put any sound he heard before into a whimper. It was like the crack of thunder on a scale inconceivable, like lightning striking turned up to twelve.
His hearing was protected by Aura, and it was still ringing.
He turned his head towards the source of the sound, towards Beacon, and towards Patch, towards were he say the source of several more sources of the sound, and a terrible, but wondrous site.
Of what looked like one of those things Weiss summoned before, but bigger, on a scale that could cover entire city blocks! 
A pillar of sheer white light stuck Beacon, and in a moment of realization, what must be Signal on Patch.
A light so bright and terrible, Jaune felt it burn against his aura, and could see the fires start around the Emerald Forest. He carefully took his hand off his ear, the sound pound like a hammer into his head, and he could see the bones through his skin. He slapped his hand back across his head.
The pillars kept of their thunderous booming for several minutes, as Jaune covered his ears, watching in utter horror.
It felt almost like a the air was slapping against his bones, and sound was hitting against his bones, rattling and shaking them.
The ground as shaking too he realized.
Silence and darkness.
The pillars suddenly disappeared, and a vacuum of sound was left over.
The city was now dark and silent, as day left night along, as the lights in the city did not turn on, as the only light was that of the fires, there was no sound at first... Then the screams started.
AN: I can’t believe everyone, but, Jaune just got fucking Isekai’d.

Hi;;; could I get a head canon of tsuki, suga and daichi dealing with a gf that’s frustrated with law school but is able to pass her classes bc of the boy’s help? Ty in advance
hello!! omg finally something new🥺 i am so tired of match-ups😔 anyways
Tumblr media
SUGA, DAICHI & TSUKKI x Stressed reader - [ hcs ]
[ Sugawara Koushi ]
Tumblr media
• baby knows you as a funny, out-going, positive person
• your laugh was one of the things that made him fall for you
• but when he started to see that you wouldn’t hang out with him or your friends, you’re not active on your socials, you’re always sounding so sad and tired and you barely eat, he knows he has to step in. he won’t allow any negativity in this household #negativitybegone
• he asked you what was the matter, and you explained the situation : you had to pass the classes at your law school, because you couldn’t let your parents down.
• they worked so hard to help you get there so you can’t disappoint them, and besides that, if you fail you’re going to disappoint yourself and him
• but you just couldn’t keep up; it was too much stress for one single person
• he immediatly understood, but one night, while you were studying, he came into your room and told you to take a break; Suga wanted to tell you something
• you sit on the bed as baby boy opens his laptop, making you watch his 8 slides presentation on why you are so important to him
• you were now a red mess; Suga noticed your subtle giggle so he knew his mission was a succes
• after the presentation was over, he sat next to you on the bed, wrapping you into his arms
• he told you that you have to let your body and mind rest, that even if you fail, you will never be a disappointment; your parents and your friends knew how smart you actually are, so they could never think of you as a disappointment because you screwed up one time
• and he would NEVER think you are a disappointment. you can do anything, Suga knows who you really are and nothing can change his mind
• Suga believes in you, and he KNOWS you’re going to pass all your classes and final exams
• he didn’t let you study anymore until your exams, he said that the information will get confusing if you try so hard to memorize it, so you have to focus your attention on the things you already knew
• Suga tries to make the days before your final exams the best days : he spoils you constantly, asking if you are feeling good, preparing nice warm baths for you
• so you slowly forget about the stress, and when you see that you are actually passing the classes, you can’t help but feel the most happy and lucky person in the world; because after all, it was him who helped you going through this
[ Daichi Sawamura ]
Tumblr media
• this man totally acts like a dad
• if you hadn’t had him, you would be a mess lmaoo
• but right now, you actually are, and he noticed immediatly
• you told him that school was slowly killing you
• you felt like you wanted to drown yourself haha
• and he WON’T ALLOW you to feel that way so he had a plan
• after all, he had experience at babysitting because of the vbc idiots
• Sawa knew that you had to pass your classes, but he couldn’t watch you lose your mind over it
• you clearly needed him right now
• so everyday he would help you study by asking you different questions , telling you tips that made you memorize the information easier
• and making sure that you’re not overdoing it
• as soon as you told him that you did it, you passed your classes, he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around you and spin you around
• he was so happy for your succes
• Sawa noticed the bright smile you put on whenever you were proud of yourself, but this one wasn’t exactly like that
• you were smiling because you passed your classes, yeah.
• but mostly because you felt so lucky to have a man like him in your life: who would spend his time helping you achieve your goals
• so you realised that you’re falling in love with him even more, like was that even possible?😳
[ Tsukishima Kei ]
Tumblr media
• we all know he is unbothered
• but deep down he cares about you more than you think
• seeing you struggle with law school was almost breaking his heart
• but it wasn’t his fault you couldn’t get information in your head and pass your classes
• he was hugging you whenever you seemed sad, but that was pretty much it
• don’t get me wrong, he loves you
• but he’s not that affectionate
• until one day, when you snap
• you burst out crying because you were scared you will fail your classes
• you were shaking, your heart was beating too fast and you were barely able to breathe
• that’s when he realised that he should’ve helped you
• but it wasn’t too late for Tsukki to show his appreciation and love
• he grabbed your wrists and kissed you to help you calm down
• it wasn’t the hottest and most passionate kiss, but it was reassuring
•he made sure you knew he was right there, in front of you, ready to help you be the best version of yourself
• after your heart was beating slower and you stopped shaking, he cupped your face into his hands and looked directly into your eyes
-
“ Listen, dumbass. You won’t fail, alright? You will get though this and after you’ll tell me you passed, we can go to that favourite sushi place of yours to celebrate. But stop crying, Jesus. Do you think it will solve anything”
“ I guess not.. i should go study a bit more.”
“ No, that’s enough for this week. Let’s go to sleep. I’ll let you be the big spoon if you want, but just this time.”
“ Gomen, Tsukki. I’ll relax for a few days—“
“ Ugh.. do you have to sound just like Yamaguchi?..”
you could’t help but let out a bright smile
“ That’s it. That’s how I wanna see you from now on : smiling . You should trust yourself more. After all, I’m not in love with someone stupid, am I?”
“ So you’re in love with me.”
“ We’ve been together for 3 years.. It would be weird if I wasn’t in love with you, dumbass.”
• you pass your classes and you don’t know how to thank Tsukki for getting you back on your feet
• but he’s happy as long as you’re happy
• definetly pretends to forgot about promising you that he will take you out after passing your classes
• but seeing his little dumb girlfriend looking at him with those big eyes, Tsukki forgets abt vb practice for a day, just to spend some time with her
Tumblr media
omg i really hope you like it!!! school was killing me as well but i stopped caring and i’m happier now, i’m satisfied with just doing my best and not overworking myself, and now i get even better grades than before : so sometimes it’s alright to relax a little more; your mind needs time. Feel free to request again anytime you feel like it🥺❤️

Fictober Day 9: “You shouldn’t have come here.”
Rating: Teen and up
Fandom: Overwatch
Characters: Roadhog and Junkrat
Warnings: Mentions of alcohol, gambling and blood, implied drug use, minor violence
Words: 1363
It has been a quiet, ordinary day, and Mako is so incredibly thankful for it.
Just another day of running his bar, serving drinks, listening to patrons with problems. During the quieter times, he sat at the bar, doing sudoku, working his way through the boxes and boxes of the old puzzle books someone found and brought back after finding them in a long-abandoned opal mine.
And most of all, it has been a full day without the pest of a man who brings trouble to his doorstep.
“So this is where you like to hang out?”
Mako closes his eyes. He spoke too soon.
“I like it! Can’t believe I haven’t been here before. I usually like to go to Big Claw when I want to wind down, but I don’t like his brew.” Junkrat collapses onto a seat and taps his hands on the bar. “So tell me, you got VB?”
Roadhog shakes his head.
“Four-X?”
“No.”
“Fosters? I’ll even take that piss-water.”
“No.”
“C’mon, you gotta have something from before the apocalypse. Don’t tell me you’re exclusively homebrew like everyone else!”
Mako just looks at Junkrat, at his grinning, eager face, before giving in, turning, opening the fridge and grabbing out his only non-homebrew and placing it on the bar.
“Coopers?” Junkrat says, completely sceptical as he analyses the label before twisting off the cap and giving it a sniff. “It’ll do, I guess.”
“Fifty credits.”
“Fifty?! Couldn’t’ve said that before I opened it?”
Mako just stares at Junkrat, hoping he gets the hint that he is indeed completely serious. Right now, though, he is so glad he needs to wear his mask because he’s grinning from ear to ear as he normally charges thirty credits for the beer.
“Fine,” Junkrat groans, reaching into his pocket, flicking a credit chip at Mako. He catches it, sees it’s a fifty credit chip and places it in the till as Junkrat takes a cautious sip. “Never had Coopers before. I like it!”
“Haven’t had Coopers, yet had Four-X.”
“Been up and down the East Coast, but beer wasn’t really my thing before all this,” he says waving his arm and gesturing to the bar. “Wasn’t much of a drinker at all, actually.”
Mako grunts; he has been around Junkrat enough to know that he is indeed quite the heavier drinker. But most of everyone is these days, when sixty percent of the businesses surviving in this post-apocalyptic world are bars. Booze, scrapyard fights and gambling are what make up most of Junkertown’s economy.
With a heavy sigh, Mako grabs his rag and wipes down the bar. His attention flits between Junkrat and the broadcast of the scrapyard fight, undefeated champion Wrecking Ball is demolishing another contender. There were high hopes for the new guy, so much so that the odds of him winning were 2:1.
“Wrecking Ball wins another!” Junkrat exclaims, pumping his fist into the air. “Anyone who bet against him is a bloody moron, wouldn’t you say, Roadhog?”
Mako hums, content that the bar is clean enough, that no one will come in here for another hour at least, given there is one more match after this. He grabs his sudoku book, sitting at the bar.
“Whaddya doin’?” Junkrat asks, and Mako recoils from Junkrat’s closeness. He watches Junkrat’s face morph somewhere between glee and confusion. “What the hell even is this?”
“Sudoku.”
“Su-what? Looks boring.”
Mako rolls his eyes. “Keeps my brain sharp.”
“Okay,” Junkrat laughs, “you do your number Su-whatchamacallit, I’ll stick to explosives. Say!” Junkrat yells obnoxiously, “Why don’t we have another night on the town! We got away with small stuff, how’s about we push our luck further?”
“No.”
“No?”
“No,” Mako says as a finality. He looks down at his puzzle, attempts to solve it. “It’s lucky we didn’t get caught stealing and blowing up the shack. I’m not about to push that luck.”
“You’re no fun.”
“You shouldn’t have come here.”
“Then where would I go?”
“Big Claw likes you.”
“Big Claw is a dimwit,” Junkrat groans. “He asked to see one of my concussion mines, bloody holds it up to his face, shakes it, then presses the damn trigger. He’s lucky the thing wasn’t armed otherwise he’d be six-feet-under.”
“It is a miracle the human race has survived this long,” Mako muses.
“I know, right?” Junkrat sighs, falling into the seat next to Mako, knocking shoulders. “I swear, you and I are the only two smart ones here—”
“Oi! There you are!”
Mako looks up, sees three people standing in the door to his bar, armed with chains, a crowbar and a cricket bat. They’re angry, drunk, possibly high, too, and have their sights set on Junkrat.
“Evening fellas,” Junkrat says as he stands up, and Mako can hear the quiver of fear in his voice. “I ah… Whatever’s happened, it wasn’t me, I swear. I’ve been here for the last half an hour, right, Roadhog?”
“It’s true,” Mako grunts. He might be annoyed by Junkrat, but he doesn’t want to see the guy hurt. Blood is so hard to scrub away.
“Oh? So it wasn’t you who got into the sheep pen, let them loose, spray painted that damn smiley face tag of yours along with ‘Junkrat was here’?”
“Oh…” Junkrat says, and Mako can only shake his head. He takes it back, these guys can take him. “Well… that coulda been anyone,” he chuckles, before turning his head towards Mako while keeping his eyes on the group. “I’m being framed, I swear!”
“Max?” The one with the chain prompts.
Cricket bat steps forward. “Saw him with my own two eyes an hour ago. In the pen, letting them loose, tagging, leaving.”
“That’s your only evidence? Your lackey's word?” Junkrat scoffs. “You don’t have proof it was me!”
“Don’t need proof,” Max replies. “You did it and we’re getting our revenge.”
Mako gives them his full attention now because what Junkrat is saying is surprisingly true. They don’t have hard evidence, and it could have been anyone. Not likely, but could have been. His stomach drops, though when he spots The Baron, younger brother to the Queen holding the crowbar. Now it doesn’t matter if Junkrat did it or not, he’s stuffed.
And Mako realises he probably is too. Guilty by association.
Mako watches the trio advance, and at the last second as the cricket bat is lifted over the guy’s head and ready to strike Junkrat, he grabs Junkrat by the shoulder, pulls him away, and the bat strikes the bar, splintering the bat and cracking the bar.
Well. No one damages Mako Rutledge’s property and gets away with it. He stands, takes a step forward and looms over the trio, and The Baron is the first to cave, running off. The other two who aren’t as smart stick around, chains and the remains of the cricket bat are raised, and in one smooth movement Mako grabs the bat, snatches it from the man’s hand and turns it on him. Chains, who doesn’t look like he has two brain cells to rub together, flings them at Mako and he catches them, swallows down the groan from them cracking against his knuckles, and pulls the man in close, enough to headbutt him. He goes crashing to the ground, unconscious, and cricket bat runs for it. Mako drops the weapons, flexes his fingers and is thankful his hand isn't broken.
“That was friggin amazing!” Junkrat beams, looking from chains to Mako, grinning. “Got my own bodyguard!”
“I’m not your bodyguard,” Mako grunts, turning his attention to the bar. The crack thankfully appears shallow, something that a quick sand and revarnish should fix. The bar was in dire need of a refurbish anyway, so he guesses he can thank those morons for kicking his ass into gear.
“Them!”
Mako sighs, looking up and seeing The Baron and the Queensguard at his door. This isn’t good. He doesn’t have much to think about after that, he and Junkrat are manhandled, escorted right out of Junkertown, shoved to the ground and the doors closed on them.
Not good at all.
“Well, that’s a fine how-do-you-do…”

The Prince’s Kidnapper
For VB Month (X)
Prompt: Royalty
Summary: Alfred doesn’t want to be forced into getting married, so he stages his own kidnapping
Requested by @me-ohh-my​
--
Guards are shouting in the distance, someone is blowing on a horn to alert others of the danger that has transpired, there is chaos in the castle. The King and Queen are distraught and the fiance of their son looks upset. How could this have happened they ask themselves. How could the prince be kidnapped so soon to his wedding day? What twist of cruel fate.
As knights ride out into the woods on horses sturdy and strong, a pair slips off in other direction on foot, sneakily going past branches and thorns and watchmen who don’t see a thing under their noses. The runner in the lead has a scrap of cloth over their face, to hide what they could should someone see them from far away. The person behind them is being dragged by thick piece of rope, whimpering as they stumble along due to the hood over their eyes and a gag over their mouth.
The thief drags the royal to the ground, making sure all their trinkets and golden curls are hidden, going as far to place his body over the prince’s when someone passes by with a torch. They do not see the thief’s darker skin in the night and pass long with a frustrated growl. The moment they pass the thief hoists the royal back to his feet with little care and they keep running.
Maybe at first the royal had fought against the thief who stole them from their bedchamber, kicking and scratching and digging their feet into the ground to keep from going with them. The thief however had been persuasive in getting them to move, convincing as the sharp as the knife they dug into his throat.
“Hurry up!” The thief hisses, yanking the royal by the rope tied around their wrists. They let out a whine and almost fall due to the sudden tug. Once more they are pushed to the ground, the thief’s hand going over their already gagged mouth.
“Listen sunshine, the bounty said alive, but they never said unharmed so shut it.” The royal nods to the threat, knowing there’s more than just a knife on this person that can harm him. They travel along the tree line, the knights looking for their prince far deeper in the woods than where they actually are.
Then they stop. The royal is shaking, used to exercise but never like this. They can feel their kidnapper breathing heavily beside them, a burning hand on their arm keeping them close. There’s little noise but they’re pulled down to sit in the dirt anyway. It takes time, agonizing minutes, but the sound of hooves crosses the path and fades in the distance.
“Come on,” The thief whispers and the royal is allowed to stand on their own time. More gently then before they are guided across a path, the rocks under their feet sounding different than the bramble of the woods. They are brought to a stop and are surprised that the thief unties their wrists.
“Not a word,” The thief tells them. A nod is all they need. There’s a knock, some yelling, then a door opening.
“Why hello there Blackbird~” A voice coos. The prince can hear into the building now, a tavern by the sound of ruckus and buffoonery. The thief snorts.
“I’m looking for The Designer,” The thief tells and the room dies down to silence.
“Ah,” The person at the door says. The royal keeps their head down, letting the thief lace their fingers together and pull them along. Not being able to see the people that are for sure looking at them is almost worse than running blind in the woods.
“Well? Get back to it!” The voice at the door shouts and the ruckus picks back up without a hitch, the sound of a fight continuing in the back.
“Steps, easy now,” The thief takes both their hands, guiding them down the stairs with a gentleness the royal would have never even dreamed of from someone like this. They’re guided into a chair and told to sit still, the thief’s hand on their shoulder.
“Ohhh my stars you actually did it,” A new voice says.
“Did you think I couldn’t?” The thief brags. A laugh and the sound of trinkets being counted in the background. Suddenly the hood is ripped off the royal’s face. They blink into the dimly lit room. A table sits in front of them with the vague shape of The Designer across the room.
“Well Prince Alfred, how are you feeling?” The voice asks him, hidden in the shadows. Alfred swallows hard, looking at the blisters on his wrists and the tatters on his clothes.
“I..” He starts. He can’t believe he’s actually here. Here kidnapped and brought away form his home and family and fiance and the life he always knew.
“I feel wonderful,” A bright smile breaks across his face and a small laugh escapes him. Bits of tears come out with how overjoyed he is to finally be away from it all. How he longed to be taken from that place and the world he drowned in. How he wishes to just be gone from those people and their faces and the promises he never wanted to make.
“Well Blackbird,” the voice says. The hand on Alfred’s shoulder grips tight then lets go.
“Your payment.” A large bag of coins with the crown’s insignia on them is dropped to the table. Alfred breathes out happily and takes the bag in his hands. He stands and turns to the thief, barely able to make out their features in the low lightening but seeing enough of shock on their face.
“Thank you so much,” Alfred tells them and hands over the bag. They take it, letting it drop their hands with the weight. They stare down for a moment.
“You paid for your own kidnapping?” Blackbird asks him. Alfred sighs and nods as The Designer laughs in the corner enjoying this as much as they did when the prince first came down to the cellar, broken away from his party of knights and begging for someone to take him away, offering a hefty sum in return.
“I.. I did,” The prince admits softly. Blackbird breathes out loud and slow, shaking their head as they do.
“I’m so going to jail,” They say to themselves and turn away, bag of gold in hand, back up the stairs. Prince Alfred watches them go with a feeling of something left unsaid in his chest.
“I’d go after him,” The Designer says. Alfred whips around to face them. They are leaning on the table now, blonde hair a smirk that could last days. Alfred nods his head slow then takes off up the stairs after the Blackbird that rescued him. The bar pays him no mind as he slips through the crowd and out the back door into the backwater town.
“Blackbird!” He calls as softly as he can. A figure down the empty street pauses, looking back at him. Alfred covers his attire and face as he catches up with his kidnapper.
“Why did you take this job?” He asks. He can barely make out their features in the night but the moon helps. Their skin looks burnt and beautiful and eyes that seem to see right through him. They twist up their mouth in a scowl.
“Why do you care?” They bite out and keep walking. Alfred hurries along beside them.
“It was dangerous, far too risky, and you did it anyway,” Alfred continues to pester. The thief growls then freezes, their head snapping up and looking around. They grab Alfred’s hand and force him to sit on a bench hidden in a building corner.
“Play along,” The blackbird hisses. Alfred nods along blindly as the sound of hooves makes his heart race. The Blackbird is excellent, wobbling on his feet and slurring like a true drunkard. Alfred hitches his voice higher, laughing a little too long to be sober himself he hopes and the guards pass them by as a drunk stupid couple who will regret their choice in the morning.
The moment they are out of earshot, the blackbird directs a wicked glare after the horses, body still heavily leaning over Alfred. Alfred can see bits of their skin under their clothes, scars and a tattoo peaking out. He grabs the thief’s hand gently.
“Why did you save me?” He asks looking up at them. The thief blinks dumbly down, eyes scanning for something but seeing nothing but the want for an answer in the prince’s face. They sigh.
“My family is too poor to continue. They do not know I still watch after them after their disownment of me. My sister suspects but never says anything. This is for them,” The thief gestures to the bag of gold. Alfred twists his hands together.
“Why did they disown you?” He finds himself asking. Blackbird raises an eyebrow to his question, then leans in dangerously close to Alfred’s face. Alfred finds himself unable to breathe.
“Because women never suited me,” They whisper and Alfred can feel their breath on his lips and there’s an ache in his heart for something more. He pushes down his frozen fear to look at the thief with as much courage as he can.
“As they never did me,” He says back. The thief stares at him, processing his words, when a devilish smirk crawls across their face. They curl a calloused hand into Alfred’s golden curls and Alfred is weak to the touch.
“Fiance not to your liking then?” Blackbird asks. Alfred shakes his head as much as he can, not wanting to rid himself of this moment.
“How about poor thieves who are reckless enough to kidnap a prince?” It’s a challenge of some sort Alfred can hear it in their tone, their smirk, and they way they curl close to him.
“They are a fine sort better,” He manages to say and melts as lips connect to his, an aching feel gone as it finally gets what it wants, something it never got from anywhere else. He’s sure he’s flushed when the thief pulls away.
“Where are you staying?” They ask him. Alfred shakes his head.
“I have no where.” He could easily find a place he’s sure, but there’s now a softness in the thief’s eyes as he pulls Alfred far more gently than before to his feet and guides him along.
“Stay with me,” They says and Alfred could never say no to his kidnapper.

I know most of my tumblr friends aren’t religious, so I usually don’t talk a lot here about church stuff. But I’ve felt a strong need to explain why VBS is so important to me even though it almost kills me every year.
Our church building is located in a pretty rich neighborhood, but nobody from that neighborhood comes. We’re more than okay with that. My hubby and I work with the teens, and nearly all of them live in the worst parts of town. They aren’t “church kids” and we spend a lot more time counseling them about life, school, parents, etc, than teaching Bible lessons. Most of them are starved for attention and have behavioral problems. It’s exhausting but we love them.
VBS week really brings out the extremes. We don’t get kids from religious families, and that’s not what we’re going for anyway. Most of the parents don’t give a crap where their kids - a lot of them see it as a free babysitting service. But for 2 hours we can make sure these kids are safe and cared for. We feed them a healthy dinner and we make them laugh. These kids have a ton of issues but they bond to us so fast it’s unbelievable. We love them so hard while they’re with us.
There are 2 sisters who have come to VBS the last three years and we never see them the rest of the year. The older sister has some mental disabilities that I’m told are because her mom was on drugs while she was pregnant. But every year this girl runs right up to me, gives me a gigantic hug, then holds my hand in a death grip so that my heart breaks when I have to let go.
We’ve had a boy come the last few years who I suspect is autistic. He disappears at least once a night, and is usually found crying in a dark corner somewhere. He usually ends up following one of the adults around and we do our best to make him feel included. Again, we never see him once the rest of the year.
Every year we have fighting, kids that try to run off, some who act out and might break stuff, others who scream or swear at the adults, things get stolen ...you get the picture. But every year we give them our patience, our understanding, whatever they need. It doesn’t always work because they aren’t used to getting that kind of reaction from the adults in their life.
My mid week, most of our adult volunteers are mentally and physically exhausted. All kinds of real life problems crop up to distract us. The kitchen workers are ready to strangle each other. Important supplies get misplaced. Someone gets sick or injured or hospitalized. Usually there is some kind of drama with the teen helpers. Every year, without fail.
But we push through. There’s no immediate payoff, but that’s not the point. We get to love these kids while they are with us, and we hope & pray it sticks with them for the hard times. We throw ourselves into it 150% and let them climb all over us and drag us around. We might never get to hear the rest of their story, but we did our part.
Today is Wednesday, and that’s usually when everything hits the fan. We try to brace for it but something always happens. We get to tell these kids that God loves them. Meanwhile, anything that can go wrong will. Every year, without fail.
So if you can keep us in your thoughts and prayers, today especially, it would mean a lot to me. It’s scary but so worth it.

Reflection
“But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear, nor be troubled but in your hearts, honor Christ the Lord as holy. Always being ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for the hope that is in you; yet do this with gentleness and respect. So that, when others slander you and revile your good behavior in Christ, you may put them to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.” - 1 Peter 3:14-17
Actual passage ESV:
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
I’m getting closer! I’m still processing the lock-in I think but I have a much brighter view of the future. I’m learning a lot about myself and God and how to best serve the Kingdom. I actually went to bed last night before midnight and I was pretty dang proud of myself. I woke up fairly early today, took a shower, and headed to Jason’s car outside of the Dwight with Angela and Dana. When we got to church, I immediately made a B-line for the kitchen in order to do the dishes that we failed to do last night. I do think a part of me was expecting the ahjummas to thank me for doing both our dishes and their while I was doing them but they didn’t say anything at all. These feeling were soon dispersed when I was finishing up, Pastor Josh rushed in, and they started scolding him. And I felt so bad. I almost wanted to cry because I felt so bad. And I tried explaining to him that it was my fault and when he tried to reassure me that it was fine bc we were all tired anyway, I revealed that I did remember and try to do it but Pastor William stopped me and told me to join the other college students but honestly, I wasn’t even really hungry and while I am glad that I got to share my experience with everyone, I wish i didn’t. I wish Pastor Josh didn’t have to take the fall for my mistakes. And I could blame it on the rest of my team but ultimately, the cooking committee was my responsibility and I have to take ownership of that and Pastor Josh didn’t do anything wrong. I hope it didn’t sound like I was blaming Pastor William for making me leave because I wasn’t. I was blaming myself for not just doing it when I had the chance. So when I did finish up, I rushed into the main sanctuary for service and in a moment, I decided to sit by myself instead of with the other college students. I just kind of wanted time to myself. I later realized that Jason was sitting pretty close to me when we made eye contact during the service but I did my best not to think about him. I only looked toward him maybe three times but did my best to stay vigilant and focus on the sermon and my notes. And it was a great decision. I prayed and recentered my heart around God and when we were encouraged to speak to our neighbors, I rushed over to the guy in front of me to say it and he laughed and smiled at my enthusiasm. It was nice. I wanted to ask him for his name after the service but he left pretty fast. I’m guessing he had some things to do. I keep complaining about how I don’t have a lot of opportunities to talk to other people in the church bc I’m restricted to Movement but that’s just not true. Because I was sitting more towards the back today, I got to the cafeteria faster and thus, was the first to sit. I assumed other people would eventually join me but when other people outside of the college ministry decided to sit with my instead, I didn’t reject them. The first was a boy I smiled at. His name is John and he’s in 7th grade. He went to 8 churches before Lakeview due to bullying and when I pressed him for information, he didn’t want to talk about it which is understandable. He soon left, probably to find his friends and to get rid of the uncomfortable atmosphere. The next girl that sat next to me nervously approached my table before I invited her to sit. I actually don’t remember her name. I think it started with an “M” but she’s 26(?) years old and from Columbia. She came to Chicago to study on a foreign exchange program and recently graduated. She’s been here for about 8 months so she has 4 months left and it was just really nice getting to talk to her. Then Dana saw me and joined and listened in on the conversation as well. The next man to sit was Mike. He’s definitely a dad and appreciated my spaghetti regretti shirt. He has a daughter named Myra(?) and she was so cute and he talked about how his humor has gotten a lot cheesier since becoming a dad. Then Jason and P. Josh joined me for lunch and questioned why I was sitting where I was and I simply said, “Why not?” and they joined me and it was so nice to be with a few familiar faces. We all engaged into our own separate conversations from and it really felt like we were the church instead of being at church. I saw John pass by and felt bad that his seat got taken by Jason but he simply walked away. I’m hoping to find him again next Sunday or via social media and reach out to him and get to know him on a deeper level and really share God’s heart and love with him. Jason and I then faded out so that we could work on reimbursements and ran into Esther on the way. It was pretty lighthearted and Jason seemed to be in a much better mood today than yesterday. Oh, on the way to church today, I asked him and Angela about what they plan on doing post-lockin and how they’re going to utilize what they’ve learned. Jason said something along the lines of really loving others and didn’t want to go into detail so I’m assuming it’s something personal and didn’t want to push him into it too much. I later asked Angela and she said that it’s really hard for her to love others, especially when they’ve wronged her in the past, but she wants to work on learning to love and make active efforts towards that. But back to post service! So Jason and I did reimbursements and then we headed back to the MPR to sit with everyone again. He became to mother pigeon as little kids swarmed him for candy. Eunice and I helped out too and I did feel a bit out of place but it was nice to see all their faces and how happy they looked. Then we bumped into one of the ladies from the panel yesterday and introduced ourselves and when she asked Eunice for her skills, I mentioned how she’s a dancer and Eunice got super embarrassed and lightly pushed me. Once the lady started pressing us to become teachers for the electives, I playfully said that I realized why Eunice didn’t want me to say anything and started “running away.” Once they started talking about VBS and Eunice mentioned how she’ll be back home for the summer, I jumped in and talked about how I’ll be here and how much I love VBS and body worship. Tbh, I didn’t really want to talk to her bc she was really in the answers she gave yesterday. I’m pretty sure she knows that I’m the one that asked about 2/3 relationship questions, lol. I wonder how her perception of me will change after she does. But she mentioned how I’m an answer to her prayers and we talked about exactly what my job would entail and how I could best serve and what she needed me to do. Once she found out what school I went to, she talked about how this game named Chris Helzenga(?) is teaching a class and encouraged students to study three nonprofits and I asked her for more information bc I’m actually really interested in the nonprofit world and want to get more involved with it. She also asked about how our discussion later went and I mentioned how a lot of people related to Elder Jisu’s story about forgiveness and how we all have some burden and weight within our own hearts and realized that we needed to let go of it. Which was true. About three people related to it and a lot more got involved with the conversation. I think it was a totally valid statement. After that, I decided to sit down and play with the kids some more. When I saw a group of girls playing with the balloons, I asked to see one of the faces and complimented her skills. And then I turned it and it said, “I hate you” and when I asked why, she said because they were going to pop the balloon outside. As soon as I saw a blank balloon, I whipped out my sharpie and drew a sad face since they were going to destroy it and they excitedly asked me to draw a different face on each of their balloons. Eventually, they just took the sharpie away from me and went crazy with it but I didn’t mind. I let them be. I thought about scolding them but no one was actually getting hurt so I assumed it was fine. When I saw Angela and knew it was time to leave, I started asking for my sharpie back. Then I found out we couldn’t find Jason so I just rejoined my old table. Only Mike and P. Josh remained and were in a pretty intense conversation so I just sat in my old seat, looked at my phone, and waited until we found Jason and it was time to leave. He had been working on encouragement notes for everyone. I guess they’re due next week and I’m thinking of rewriting a few bc they were pretty lame in the moment. I’m excited to see what he writes for me. We’ve been getting a lot closer this semester so I want to know how his perception of me has changed. 
Now onto the ride home!
It was pretty quiet at first but I didn’t mind. I just zoned out for a while. Then I started talking to Claire about homework and graphic design related things and future careers and travels. While we talked, I heard Angela and Jason start talking and I was lowkey really interested in what they were saying so I listened in but I also felt bad for not paying attention to Claire and she could obviously tell so I did my best to come back to my conversation with her. It was actually really interesting and I did enjoy talking to Claire about everything. I talked about how I want to work with nonprofits in the future since no one is there for the money and it is still a livable salary and how I don’t need that much money to be happy. She tried to interrupt me a few times but eventually I got my point across and she understood. We talked a bit about personality types and how Claire and Angela are both an INFJ while I’m an INTJ and mentioned how obviously, some personality types may be better in some circumstances. Like an ISTJ would probably hate being a counselor. But overall, since she’s an advocate, she can still use her personality type to her advantage. She can better reason with her clients which was interesting to her. I’m excited to see her again on Friday for life group and I’m hoping that Dana can come too. 
When I got home, it was only 2pm and I was still in a good mood and could have done homework but I decided to catch up on a few shows instead and then I took a nap for a bit. Then I ate subway, did my laundry, caught up with Emily, and now I’m here in the lobby, ready to do my homework. Kind of. Loren wants to talk to me so I’m gonna do that and I am excited to share my experience at the lock in with her and encourage her to go to church in order to have that relationship with Christ and not for the sake of going to church. 
Oh, before I end this. We sang “Lay Me Down” and I felt the joy of the Lord and it’s playing on my Spotify now and it’s just so encouraging!!!
I’m so excited for what this year will bring. 
And finally, I’m still trying to assess where my relationship with Andrew is right now. Last night, I muted our chat with him and Sofia. I did snapchat him today to keep up our streak but I don’t think we’ll be talking for a few days. We’ll see if he messages me and what he says and we’ll see if I respond from there. I don’t know if he’ll think I’m mad at him or if I’m just busy. He’s probably just gonna think I’m busy but... we’ll see how long it takes until he realizes that something else is wrong. And even right now, I don’t know what to do. I do still think I want to ask Jason about what I should do. Since he’s a Vietnamese boy that was kind of a Buddhist but not really and that’s how Andrew is too. And I want to know how to best reach out to Andrew and bring him to Christ. For his own sake and not my own. I would love to keep him as a friend but I do really crave friendships where I feel like I can really tell them anything. Including my beliefs. So, we’ll see how it goes from here.

THIS IS SO CUTE AHHHH! 
thank you so much for this! i had so much fun writing it. i’m not experienced with writing skater things, this was my first try lol i hope you like it. 
Aone Takanobu x Skater Girl Reader
warnings: maybe a swear or two 
words: 2.5k
“God Ko did you have to take so long? We’re going to be late now. I should have just left without you!” you shouted at your best friend Koganegawa over the sound of the wind in your ears, your foot coming down to push against the concrete on the sidewalk as you both skateboard the relatively short distance to school.
 He had volleyball practice and you had softball practice at the same time in the morning, and being two out of a handful of students who like to skate you guys became fast friends,  when you ran into each other the first morning skating to school for practice he decided right then and there you would be best friends. 
“Oh come on Y/N-chan! I know you’re glad you didnt leave me behind!”  you shake your head, your hands shoved in the front pocket of your black hoodie as you coasted down the hill, “no part of me is glad!” you shout back and he sticks his tongue out at you, causing you to laugh. 
Since most of the teachers and faculty weren’t at the school in the morning you usually used your skateboard in the school, which wasn’t a problem until today. Because of Koganegawa being unusually late, they were practicing with a different setter, causing the ball to be set at the wrong angle causing Aone to hit it straight out the door at the same moment you passed by and of course hitting you in the back and knocking you off your board. 
“Aone you hit someone!” a voice shouted from the gym, Koganegawa who had stopped a few feet before you so he could go into gym was now on his knees with laughter, you caught your self with your hands and knees then with the momentum slipped onto your elbows, you felt your knees sting as you rolled up to a sitting position. 
You could hear the team running towards the door as you inspected your knees, Koganegawa having a hard time crawling over to you since he was laughing so hard, “you should have seen that! I wish I could have gotten it on video! It was hilarious!” he’s on his back now, holding his stomach as he laughs, you shoot him a glare “shut up you ass! It really hurt!!” you rubbed your wrists, they were starting to ache from the impact. 
The rest of your angry words died on your tongue as a white haired boy ran over to you, taking a knee and looking at you with furrowed brows. “Are you okay?” he says and you feel your cheeks flush from his intense gaze, he reaches out and takes your hands in his, inspecting your palms and wrists as you stared up at his handsome face, completely at a loss for words. 
“I didn’t mean to hit you” he says, the rest of the team behind him watching the scene go down, most of them silent, shocked that their quiet giant was speaking so much. You can't help the quiet giggle that escaped your throat when he looked back into your eyes, “I- I’m fine! No worries! A couple scrapes is all” you manage to say, your cheeks feeling hot and your palms starting to sweat, he was so cute! you ‘ve always had a crush on him from all the games you went to, he had such a kind and good vibe it made your heart happy, and here he was! Your crush! Basically holding your hands! After he hit you with a volleyball but that was a different case.  
“Yo Y/n why are you acting so weird?” Koganegawa says, now kneeling beside you both, looking between you and Aone, trying to figure out the vibe he was getting, the rest of the team had retreated back inside the gym and you heard some whispering from inside. You send a glare at him as Aone looks down at your knees now, the skin red and rubbed raw through the holes that were already in your jeans. His gentle fingers brush above the mark and you get goosebumps, when he’s satisfied that you weren’t really hurt he took your hand and helped you to your feet. 
He leans down and picks up your skateboard, handing it to you as he bows deeply “I’m sorry again” he says and you take the board before awkwardly bowing back, “dude you’re still late for practice” Koganegawa says and you curse under your breath, “see you after class Ko! Thank you Aone!” you say as you throw your board down, skating off in the direction of the girls locker room at the other end of the hall. 
“How are you friends with that girl?” Futakuchi was saying as they started to practice again, “she’s always angry. She's a psycho skater. You heard the rumor that she lit the principal's car on fire” Koganegawa growls “and that was just a rumor! She's a good person, sure she has mean vibes but she’s just a badass! She’s blunt and keeps me humble. She’s a good friend and you should see her play softball, she's insanely talented” he sets a ball to Aone perfectly to spike and the white haired boy hits it with so much force it slams against the gym floor. He didn’t like hearing Futakuchi bad mouth you, you were adorable and sweet, how could they not see that? “Focus guys come on” and with that their coach had silenced all talk unless it was vb related. 
“Ugh! Im so awkward! I thanked him! I thanked him for hitting me with a ball! God help me!” you think as you take your board out of the locker in the locker room, practice was finished and now it was time for classes, you make your way to your normal locker and stash your board there, leaning in, you rest your head against the board and books as you sigh defeatedly.
“Whats your problem?” Ko says coming up by you to his locker that was on your left, “did you fuck up stealing third again? Or maybe you’re feeling like an idiot because of your encounter with Aone earlier? Does someone have a crush?’ you growl and lean out of your locker “at least I wasn't caught with volleyballs in my shirt like boobs” you quip back and he gasps “that was one time!” he shouts and you scowl “yeah, sure, okay” you close your locker door and turn to him “if you tell anyone about this morning I’ll print off that picture and post it around school. Don't make me do something i would really enjoy” you smile sweetly before turning and heading down to your first class. 
After school you had more practice before showering and heading to the gym to wait for Ko, it was something you had done before but this time your stomach had flipped into knots thinking about Aone again. You wanted to run into him but at the same time you never wanted to see him again, you popped a cherry bubblegum lollipop into your mouth as you walked, your board under your arm. 
You stuck your head into the gym to see the team just standing and chatting, practice having just ended, you make eye contact with Aone and squeak as you pull your head back, pulling the sucker from your mouth as you lean against the other door that was closed, your heart racing and your cheeks already starting to feel warm. You weren't a shy person so why did he make you feel this way? You tried to calm your racing heart but before you could your heart footsteps approaching. 
Aone looked out the hallway, around the door to look down at you, his eyebrows furrowed. “Hi” you whisper before popping the sucker back into your mouth. You saw the corners of his mouth twitch up into a smile as he walks out into the hallway to stand in front of you. “I- I uh” you stumble through our words, swallowing hard you took the sucker from your mouth again, your hands moving through the air as you spoke, “I’m sorry about earlier. When i was being awkward. I thanked you as I left, essentially thanking you for hitting me with a ball and that was... weird of me. Anyway I hope you dont think im weird now” you look down at your feet for a moment, your faded black and white slip on checkered vans tapping together at the toes, before looking back up into his kind eyes “do you? Uh i mean, do you think i'm weird now?”  you twist the sucker stick between your thumb and forefinger as you wait for his response. 
He shakes his head no and you smile, a sigh of relief passing your lips as you scratch behind your ear with your free hand “oh good!” you say “im glad” he reaches out, taking your hand gently in his hand, a look of concern as he inspects your palm which was now covered in tiny cuts. You chuckle softly and relax your hand in his “it wasn't because I fell” you realize after saying that, that it was because of a fall, just not that one, you hastily correct yourself, the awkward feeling in your body growing “I mean, it wasn't because of you making me fall, it was because of softball, I forgot my gloves today” 
The rest of the team exited the gym now, stopping when they see you two, Aone doesn't let go of your hand he continues his inspection as the rest of the team just watches. “Aone” you whisper after a few moments and then he looks back up at you then over at his team, sending them a look that says if they didn't just go he’d be mad, Koganegawa in the front put a skip in his step as he ran off towards the locker rooms, pulling Futakuchi behind him so he wouldn't stay behind and be a dick, the rest of the team following suit, all of them watching you two the whole way causing your cheeks to grow as red as possible.
 “Uh shouldn't you go as well?” you whisper and pop the sucker back in your mouth, he watches you actions and you smile softly “want one? I have grape, cherry, and watermelon” he nods and says “watermelon” you reach in your backpack and hand him a watermelon bubble gum lollipop and he bows a little before taking off the wrapper and putting it in his mouth, a smile forming on his lips as he enjoyed the flavor. “Thank you” he says, his voice a little whistle-y around the candy in his mouth and you nod “no problem” 
After that you brought him a watermelon sucker every day, making sure to stop in after practice every evening and give it to him, he looked so happy every time it made your heart soar, after a little while he started sitting by you in the cafeteria, your other softball and skater friends looking at you funny the first few times but soon didn't mind. Your angry badass persona would be replaced by bubbly shy and cute, three things you rarely were. 
“What is going on?” Futakuchi said one afternoon in the cafeteria as he looked over at you two together “I don’t get it.” another one of the team members says “She’s skater punk and will beat your ass and he's a quiet soft boy won’t hurt a fly” one of Futakuchi’s friends says through a huge bite of a sandwich. Ko just sighs “you guys should get to know her. She’d never hurt a fly either. She's actually quite afraid of confrontation as well unless she knows you or you really deserve it” after a moment Futakuchi says “i still don't see it”
Your phone beeps and you look down at it, it’s a text from Ko that just says “looking cozy ;)” you send him back a middle finger emoji. 
When you leave the cafeteria you turn to say goodbye to Aone but stop with the way he was looking at you, expectantly, like he wanted to say something but was too shy. You were about to ask him to walk you to class but the words couldn’t escape your mouth, your shy tongue keeping them in your throat. Koganegawa comes over and lightly shoves your shoulder. “Hey lovebirds” he says with a mischievous grin and you glare at him “what are you doing?” you ask him through your teeth, your cheeks growing warmer and he just chuckles “our y/n here is quite something huh?” he asks Aone to which he just nods once “I know a secret about her if you want to know it” your face turns totally red as you glare at the dumbass “Ko I swear to god if you don't shut your mouth” you seethe at him and he just laughs harder, sneaking to hide behind Aone and simultaneously standing on his tiptoes to whisper “she has a cruuush” your eyes go wide as you stare in horror at your supposed best friend, your cheeks red in embarrassment as Aone just looks down at you, confusion in his expression. “KO! Shut! Up!” you say and he shakes his head “on you” he finishes his sentence before taking off, you go to run after him but Aone just grabs your hand, keeping you next to him “is it.. True?” he asks and you look down at your shoes again, debating lying but you doubt you’ll get a better chance to confess, “yes” you whisper and after a few long seconds of silence you look up at him, meeting his eyes. 
 His cheeks are dusted pink as well as the tips of his ears and he has a small smile on his lips “I” his voice was a little too quiet so he clears his throat to try again “I like you too” he says and you feel your smile widen, going from ear to ear as you beam up at him “really?” you ask and he nods. You can't help but throw your arms around his middle and hug him in the middle of the hallway, he hugs you back gently, his big body almost engulfing yours. 
The bell rings for the first time and you pull back “will you walk me to my class?” you ask and he nods, smiling down at you with his eyes closed. You lace your fingers with his and begin walking again “to think this all started because you hit me with your volleyball and sent me flying off my skateboard” he sends you a look that says he was still sorry about that and you laugh, squeezing his hand as your cheeks turn red again “I'm not sorry about it Aone, so you shouldnt be either. I got to meet you and it was worth it.”  the tips of his ears turn red as his thumb brushes yours. You get a glimpse of Ko watching you down the hall very obviously taking photos of you guys and you remember what you told him you’d do if he ever told your secret, you squeeze Aone’s hand softly again and smile mischievously up at him, a smile he would come to know all too well, and say “so I have to do something a little, delinquent-y and I was wondering if you would help me? It’s a prank on Ko for spilling my secret”

Reunited part three
Master list
Nishinoya x y/n
Kissing Noya became one of your favorite things. That night you finished the movie then he took the remote and switched it back to your game replay, he just smiles when you quirk your eyebrow at him when he settles back into cuddling you and holding your hand. “This part” he points to the tv and you open your eyes to look, you had been dozing on his shoulder as you drew things along his hand with your finger. He’s so excited and it makes your stomach flip “I saw this part in a highlights clip online. You absolutely perfected this libero set” he’s buzzing with praise for you and you blush “thank you! I worked so hard! But it’s also perfected by the other team members. Lisa there,” you point to the wing spiker “she’s our ace, she pushed herself so hard to get to jump that high. She pushes herself as much as I do” he laughs and brings your arm up to his lips, kissing your fingers, then your wrist, then up your arm slowly, making sure he kisses all your bruises and marks. Your heart is beating rapidly and you have a cute smile on your lips as you watch him. You feel so comfortable and at home with him here, you already know it’s going to be really hard when he leaves, you feel tears starting to prick your eyes so you quickly shove those feelings away. Happy to just be in this moment with him. “Yū” you whisper as he gets to your shoulder and buries his face in your neck, smiling and giving you small sweet kisses. “Y/n” his voice was quiet, the game was forgotten as you both cuddled and held each other, his head on your shoulder and your arms around him. You ended up adjusting your body so you could lay on the couch now with him laying between your legs with his head up on your shoulder and his breathing soft on your neck. You played with his hair and soon you both were asleep
You woke up to the smell of coffee and pancakes, when you opened your eyes you leaned up and saw him quietly dancing the kitchen, wearing your apron. He tries to flip a pancake in the air but it falls on his head, you try to hide your laughter but he turns when he hears you, a big smile on his face. “Good morning beautiful!!” He says excitedly “breakfast is almost ready and there is coffe here for you too!” You stand from the couch and stretch out your arms in the air, he notices the rise of your shirt and your obvious bralessness which he realized that’s why he was so comfortable laying on your chest last night. His face blushes deep red as he turns his attention back to pancakes. You wrap the blanket around your shoulders and walk over to him wrapping your arm around his waist and laying your head on his shoulder. “Thank you. This is perfect” you kiss his shoulder then get some coffee.
he brings a plate of pancakes and other food to the table. “I made American pancakes, and a few other things that we used to eat a lot as kids” you grin when you see the spread, your stomach grumbling. “This looks amazing. You’re the best, babe!” You don’t even notice the word slip from your mouth as you start to eat, humming with joy and doing a tiny dance in your seat. He freezes for a second, you guys and kissed, but honestly he still didn’t know what it meant long term. He was gonna take it slow and see what happens, he didn’t expect you to call him a pet name and he didn’t expect to love it so much. His cheeks flush and he smiles, trying to calm down his racing heart. “Babe, huh?” He says quietly and you choke on your pancake, coughing a bit before swallowing. “Sorry I didn’t even notice.” You say quietly and take a drink if your coffee. “No no don’t be sorry.” He tucks your hair behind your ear “I like when you call me sweet names” he says before starting to eat and focusing on his food. You blush and continue your meal, feeling very domestic with him, it made your heart soar.
After breakfast you clean up before going to brush your teeth and put ready for your typical Monday. You throw on your VB shorts and a sports bra, throwing on a hoodie over the top. You get your training bag ready and bring it out to the living room.
You stop in your bedroom doorway frozen, Noya’s standing at the table, all cleaned up in a nice pair of black jeans and a tucked in white button up that he rolled the sleeves up to his elbows. He’s got a pen in his teeth as he digs through his bag trying to find something. He looked so good, like he belonged here in your kitchen, and for a second you could imagine a whole life of possibilities with him. You smile warmly as he finds what he needs with a triumphant look.
Pulling yourself together you walk over, setting your bag down next to his “Hey beautiful girl” he looks at you with such kindness and adoration in his eyes. You smile back at him as you wrap your arms around his middle laying your head on his chest. “Hey hun” your voice is soft “you look really handsome. What do you have going on today?” He rubs soft circles on your back “I have a meeting with the American branch of the magazine I work for, they want me to go to a game in a couple weeks so I’m basically just picking up documents and information.” The game you have next month flashes in your head but you stamp that out, there’s so many games he could be going to. “I have practice until five, and th...” he gets excited “wanna get dinner after?” You laugh and reluctantly pull away, ending the hug “that’s what I was gonna ask.” He apologizes for cutting you off and you kiss his cheek “dinner tonight. I’ll meet you back here at like 5:15 because the gym isnt far from here and I just walk. Also.” You reach into your bag and pull out your spare key. “This is for you” he takes it with a smile “perfect thanks y/n” his phone beeps and he curses under his breath “I gotta go or im gonna be late” he throws his bag over his shoulder and slips on his shoes before pulling you into a hug and and a kiss, then a second kiss, third, you pull away blushing “go babe! Don’t be late. I’ll see you tonight!” You give him a push and he laughs giving you one more kiss before running out your apartment door.
It’s been a few weeks with him in your home, you’ve been in a sweet routine with him now. Morning breakfast, getting together for dinner then you’d talk and cuddle and kiss before bed. Today you woke up extra early, the time with him has been fun and great except all the girls that flirt with him. He doesn’t really pay them any attention but it still makes you jealous. You cuddled and kiss a lot, call each other sweet things. But what were you? You were confused and decided that a run would clear your head.. But you lose track of time pushing yourself to just keep going and by the time you get back home you have just a few minutes to get your stuff together before you have to leave for practice.
“Y/n! Good morning!” His cheerful voice made your heart skip as you ran inside the apartment. “Hey Noya! I lost track of time on a run and now I’m gonna be late!” You laugh and basically jog into your room.
You come out with your bag across your back and you stop in your tracks when you take him in. His tan suit pants and black button up shirt, black belt, and black shoes. You can smell his cologne and it gives you butterflies. Damn he looked so good.
You felt a familiar twinge of jealously before reminding yourself that he leaves in a few months and to not get too attached. “Dinner tonight?” He says and smiles turning to look at you. “Yes” your voice cracks and you clear your throat “same time?” You ask and he nods enthusiastically. You get your wits about you now and return to running out of the apartment with a see you later.
You were late. And you were never late. It make him worried. He wondered if it was because he hadn’t made another move yet. Did you forget about him? Have you stopped caring about him? Did he do something wrong? He tried to get rid of his anxiety and forced himself to just patiently wait.
When you walk through your apartment door at 5:45, thirty minutes late, you drop your bag immediately and close the door before turning to look at him sitting on the couch. He was dressed in some jeans and a simple hoodie and looked absolutely delicious, he looked a little worried and was about to ask you what’s up before he saw the look in your eye. Frustrated and holding in what looked like hours of unshed years. He stands and takes a Step towards you as the dam breaks and you cover your face with your hand as you sob.
He notices the bandage on your left hand as he softly pulls you into his chest. He holds you and hums softly and when you’re calmer he asks “Baby what happened?” He says as his strokes your back softly. “You’re gonna..” sniffle “think I’m a baby” he chuckles softly “I already think you’re my baby so just tell me” his slight confession goes over your head for now. “We had a practice game against a college team, which is fine we’ve always beat them, but I tried to block but the ball and it hit at a weird angle. A total fluke and accident. I broke two fingers and the skin split between my ring finger and pinky. I got five stitches. It’s why I’m late.”
As you’re telling him he knows something bad and his stomach sinks when he imagines you getting stitches. When he imagines you in pain it hurts him as well.
“I held up my facade of ‘im fine’ thinking I could convince myself but then I saw you and you look so damn good that I just couldn’t hold it anymore. I’m sorry I ruined your night Nishinoya” you start to cry again, placing your forehead on his chest, thinking that you ruined everything
He holds you “baby it’s okay I don’t care about the night I just care that you��re alright. You’re all I care about” you nod and try and calm down again. “I look good for you only anyway” he whispers and kisses the top of your head.
He runs you a hot bath as you sit on the edge of your bed quietly. When he walks over to you he cups your cheeks and rubs his thumbs under your eyes wiping any tears left away. “Stay?” You ask and he smiles softly with a nod.
You walk into the bathroom and he follows, he reaches down to the hem of your sweatshirt and slowly pulls it over your head carefully. He looks into your eyes as his hands softly touch the band of your shorts and you look so fragile he could cry. It’s a silent question and you nod once before he slides your shorts and underwear down your legs, you lay your good hand on his shoulder to steady yourself when you step out of them. He softly helps you out of your sports bra and then holds your good hand as you step into your deep tub filled with hot water, bubbles, and epsom salt.
He quietly took his hoodie off and set it on your bed as he got the stool from your vanity to sit behind you, he also started playing some soft music. He took the pony from your hair and slipped in on his wrist before slowly and gently getting your hair wet and washing it for you.
His heart aches for you. You’re his perfect girl, of course not his yet but he will ask you to be soon. He doesn’t want you ever in pain. He wanted to help you out in any way he could to make you feel better. Your body was beautiful, he wasn’t blind, but right now you were trusting him and he would never break that trust. He just wanted to take care of you.
You feel the tension and sadness seep out of your body, grateful for the pain meds from the doctor so your hand doesn’t hurt right now. You were putty in his hands as he washed your hair. And when you leaned forward he washed your back with your scrubbie. When you’re clean you stand and he wraps a towel around you before helping you out of the tub.
He helps you to your room, his arm around you comfortingly. “I’m gonna order a pizza and then we should watch something and you should let me hold you” you smile at him and nod “yes please” you say softly and he walks out of your room.
You grab your underwear from your dresser and slip on a pair of black lace boyshorts and decide to grab his hoodie on your bed and slip that on your bare top. After that you grabbed your blanket and made your way out to the couch.
You walked out of your room as he was ordering pizza over the phone, he looked up and smiled when he saw you, then blushed when he noticed you were in his hoodie and just your underwear. You were stunning. The most gorgeous girl.
You sit down on the couch and he comes over when he hangs up. He’s already queued up a movie, a romcom you said you liked a few days ago and you smile when you realize. You look up into his eyes and you almost start to cry again. But this time it’s because how loved you felt. “Yū I..” your voice cracks and he smiles warmly at you before he sits down on the couch and pulls you to his chest. “I know” he says and holds you. He felt it too. The love you both had for each other. You tilt your head up and start to softly pepper kisses along his neck.
A knock on the door pulls him away from you and you sigh.
You eat some pizza and it makes you feel better to have food in your tummy before cuddling with him again and enjoying the movie for a while before getting a little bored. You look up at him, your head on his chest, and you start to draw small circles on his chest. He looks down at you and smiles lovingly.
“I’d be so sad without you here tonight” you say quietly and he blushes “I’m so glad I could be here to take care of you y/n” he brushes his lips softly against yours and your body floods with tingles. The movie ends and you lay together talking about your days other than your accident. You learn about the games he’s been to already and written about. The men’s volleyball team was amazing apparently but he says you’re a much better libero then they have.
It’s getting late and you take some night time medicine, your captain gave you the next few days off to heal but you already know you’ll go to the gym anayway to support your team. You’re standing in your kitchen drinking some water and he walks up and hugs you from behind. You turn around and wrap your arms around him, resting your head against his shoulder and asking “will you sleep in my bed with me? I don’t want to be alone”
Your question gave him butterflies and he nodded “yeah” he says and withholds the urge to jump in excitement. It’s still a little early so you decide to start a show in bed, one that you used to watch together every Wednesday night in high school.
After five minutes of the show you roll over so you’re laying chest to chest and you’re looking at him, studying his face. He starts to blush at your gaze and he can’t hold back a smile as he looks back at you.
He starts to run his fingers through your hair and it gives you a shiver, he pulls the blanket higher up your shoulders and you use the movement you cuddle up closer to him, throwing your legs around him and fully laying on him, your head on his shoulder. “How much longer do I have with you?” You whisper, afraid your voice would crack if you spoke any louder. He frowns “I’m supposed to go to Canada in a little under a month” you groaned and he chuckled a little “y/n” his voice was firm and you leaned up, putting all your weight into your hips against his as you looked in his eyes. He moaned involuntarily as your hips grinder against him and you smiled shyly. “Yū?” You ask and he runs his hands softly up your thighs, slipping under the hoodie and squeezing your hips “I don’t want to lose you” he says and his voice cracks “not again. Do you think we can make this work?” You beam at him. “Please I want that so bad” you say and he pulls you back down to him with a laugh, making sure your left hand was okay “so you’re my girl now?” He asks with excitement and you giggle and say “yes” he lifts your face to his and kisses you before saying “finally”

Summer Ends
For VB Month (X)
Prompt: Nyotalia
Summary:  “Whether near or far, I am always yours.” – The End of All Things, Panic! At The Disco
--
Amelia is shaking, holding on tight to Alex’s jacket as she packs her things. For days she’s been dreading the countdown for when they’d have to be apart and even though she knew the day would come, she wish it stayed weeks away. Alex is calmly packing though, has been slowly for the last day or two like it doesn’t bother her.
“Do you have to go?” Amelia asks with a crack in her voice. She puts up a brave when Alex looks at her. Her companion sighs and runs a hand through her choppy red hair. A solemn nod is all the answer she gives before returning back to her bags. Amelia sniffs hard and pretends that doesn’t bug her.
“I wish you could say,” She says anyway.
“Yeah me too dollface,” Alex says bitterly, her grip on her things tightening significantly. Amelia decides to stay quiet for a while. She’s hasn’t seen Alex this upset since she first came to stay in their large house.
Amelia’s family runs an open house for travelers and cheaper rents for people who are staying on lengthy vacations. Alex’s family happened to be one of those staying for a vacation. They came from a big city and wanted the time in the open woods of a country side. She came swirling in angry and spitting curse words that earned her stern looks and mentions of a swear jar. She had been down right rude to Amelia at first.
Maybe out of spite Amelia wanted to be her friend. She came on strong like she always did with everything, wanting to show Alex around and all the fun places to climb trees and find animals. Alex sneered at her and refused. Their one moment of understanding came when Amelia had actually gotten in trouble for not helping do the mass amounts of laundry.
Amelia ran. She ran as fast as her feet could take her into the woods with her hair whipping around her head. Her hands raise to smack branches out of her face and her feet know the path to her hiding space.
A fallen tree looms in front of her and she dives down to her hands and knees to crawl under the branches and out of sight. The the leaves provide adequate covering from the outside world though if someone is looking for her they would be able to see her easily.
She stayed there for an hour at least. Only coming out when she say Alex walking around, scanning about, and calling her name. She came out with scuffs on her hands and a sour expression on her face. Alex had been gentle.
“Are you okay?” She asked softly, the softest Amelia has ever heard her since she first stepped into their large house. Amelia shook her head and rubber her dirty hand at her nose. Alex wiped away her tears and cleaned her wounds.
“Parents suck,” Alex had said and Amelia laughed.
Now Alex is leaving to go back to the city and leave Amelia behind to her chores and her open woods and secret hiding places. Amelia slumps her feet as she carries one of Alex’s bags down the stairs to where her family is packing up the car.
“Almost ready Alexandria?” Her mother asks and Alex rolls her eyes.
“Yeah just one last thing upstairs,” She says and takes off back into the house. Amelia gives her an odd look and follows quietly, not mentioning that they did bring all of Alex’s stuff down already. She follows Alex up the stairs and back into the room Alex had called hers for the two months.
“What’s up?” Amelia asks when Alex shuts the door silently when she enters the room. She doesn’t get much of an answer, just Alex’s hands on her shoulders pushing her back and lips on hers. Amelia jerks at first to the sudden kiss, not expecting it, but her arms are quick to wrap around Alex to hold her tight. Tight like if she holds on enough Alex won’t have to leave her.
“You have to keep talking to me,” Alex says in a breathy whisper. Amelia nods her head, would nod her head to anything at this point. This time is Alex who is frantic in tears as she scrambles to write down a number, an email, something for Amelia to keep in contact with her.
She throws herself into Amelia’s arms one more time to hug her. It’s warm and Amelia buries herself in Alex’s neck. They are called for and both trudge back down the stairs, holding hands where their parents can’t see.
“Ready to go?” Alex’s mother asks. Alex just marches past her without a word.
“For someone who didn’t want to be here in the first place she sure is reluctant to leave,” Alex’s mother laughs and thanks them again for hosting them. Amelia stands on the porch to watch them drive away in their overly packed car. She can spot Alex turn around to see her.
Amelia roughly brushes away a tear. Her hand grips tight to the paper Alex had written on. She plans to send so many messages that Alex might get sick of her. She refuses to let this be a simple summer fling. Alex had made her feel happy, accepted her and all her quirks. There’s no way she’s going to let that go, let Alex go.
It doesn’t matter how far away Alex’s big city is. It doesn’t matter how much time is between seeing each other again. Amelia has set her mind and nothing will change that. It may hurt to see Alex’s car drive out of sight but she will always be with Amelia. And Amelia knows a part of her will always belong to Alex.
