idol!yeji x uni student!reader
word count: 1.7k
warnings: breaking up from hectic schedules, gossip, yeji’s attempts to woo you, groping and making out bc you can’t be mad at her forever, happy ending
a/n: inspired by this ask, lmk 🦙anon what your thoughts are on my first angst to fluff yeji ff
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“i don’t know what else i can do!” tears fall from your eyes as you speak to the other person on the phone. “we weren’t ready.” holding the phone tighter your breathe starts to shake. “it’s over yeji…goodbye.” hanging up you feel your body go limp as tears fall down your face. not noticing your phone fall to the floor you start sniveling silently, feeling the world go blurry as you cry for the rest of the night over a relationship that was too overwhelming to even think about.
you and yeji started dating ever since you met her at a concert and fansign the following week. you caught her eye which lead to her leaving her number in your album. you started talking and before you knew it you had begun your secret romance with the idol of your dreams that wonderful winter. 
it was nice since she could only meet up when you finished with your classes in uni and with so many lax professors you could text and video call secretly your girlfriend. lately, however finals began and being in so many AP classes along with clubs you missed many of her calls but it was the same with her the month before. yeji had begun training for her next comeback and wasn’t allowed to use her phone until she perfected her dance and helped the members being the leader of the group. you both had horrible timing and no matter how many compromises you both did for each other it never worked out. and so once again the anniversary of your one year together ended as cold as the month you met.
( 。>﹏<。)  
the seasons began to change and summer rolled around but despite being busy with coursework and group projects along with club activities your mind always went to your ex-cat-eyed lover. hearing news about their upcoming comeback that usually rolled around the end of the year and the occasional v-live notifications yeji never seemed to leave your mind and you often wondered if it was the same for her. 
“hey did you hear about the rumor going on with yeji?” your ears perk up as you wait in line in the cafeteria.
“they say she hasn’t been doing well, for their last comeback she seemed more down and tired than usual.” 
“yeah like something is off with her…” the two strangers make their way toward the checkout lane leaving you alone with your conflicted thoughts. the rest of the day your mind is wandering back to the conversation you overheard. checking dispatch you read some articles about yeji’s recent behavior and comeback, confirming their words. 
as nightfall approaches, you leave late the library after finishing a project when you see someone sitting on the stairs. walking closer you recognize the jacket immediately, letting out a gasp the figure turns you mimicking your shocked expression. “yeji?”
“…h-hey there…” hearing some footsteps and scattered conversation coming from behind you, grabbing her hand you drag yeji to an abandoned park area nearby to talk. checking to make sure there was no one around you cross your arms and look at your old lover.
“what on earth are you doing here?! what if someone-“ 
“i can explain!! I-If you’ll let me…” staying quiet you take a deep breath and nod indicating for her to speak. “so I don’t know if you’ve seen but lately…I’ve been out of my mind and well it’s because or rather it is because of-“
“don’t say it.” cutting her off your eyebrows furrow in the center of your forehead and shoulders slump. “yeji we can’t. I was too hurt by this, by us.” gesturing between the two of you your heart starts racing as the memories, and feelings of hurt flood back into your mind. taking your hand yeji’s sorrowful eyes meet yours.
“believe me… if I could take it all back…I would.” with your gaze on your connected hands, she gives you a light squeeze. “I’ve done a lot of thinking and I know how we can make it work. love I promise I’ll make it up to you.“ letting out a sarcastic laugh you shake your head and let go of yeji’s hand, knowing that your eyes would betray how you feel you turn your back to her and tighten the backpack strap across your chest.
“yeah right… anyways yeji you know where to find me.” walking away from her you wave your hand behind your back toward her. “good luck.”
( 。>﹏<。)  
week one: she found your number from a caffeinated and tired student you had done a project with and began texting you good morning and good night every day
week two: yeji asked her manager to go to your club room and leave a note at your club’s bulletin board reminding you to drink water along with a cheesy note
week three: buying you your favorite drink and meal for lunch to eat, she would invite you to have lunch with her under the bleachers
week four: somehow she managed to deliver flowers to your door in the morning surprising your hungover roommate 
week five: she would randomly call you at odd hours of the day just to hear your voice
week six: yeji would text you to see her vlive as she baked cookies with the fans messing up and getting dirty only to come by your dorm once she was done to eat them with you 
week seven: finding secret spots she would sneak after practice to take you out on a ‘friend date’ to hear about your day 
week eight: you had a bad week in class and yeji would come rushing in to hold your hand as you vented to her 
week nine: she asked and tested jokes on the members trying to find a good one to share with you in a voice message right before she started practice 
by week ten your heart was racing whenever you saw her name appear on your phone. never before had yeji been this attentive to you especially during comeback season when it was the busiest time of the year for her and the group. 
‘hi love <3 I just wanted to let u know that I’ll be busy this week for promos, we can’t see each other :(( I’ll be here if u need me though….’
‘it’s ok yeji x enjoy your comeback I can’t wait to see you soon :3’
“hey did you hear the latest rumor about yeji?” turning off your phone you see the familiar two that had gossiped about yeji a while back
“yeah she’s doing much better now than at the end of their last comeback season!”
“it’s like she became a whole new person, I’m so hyped for this comeback!” watching the two chatter bugs walk away you feel a smile grow on your face as you realize why yeji’s mood has improved. heading back to your dorm you search through your closet to find an outfit to wear for the showcase coming up and decide to clear your schedule to get something nice to surprise her.
on the day of the showcase, you join all the other fans entering the studio early to get seats filled. watching the teasers from the comeback play on the screen and old songs to hype everyone up you sing along when someone taps your shoulder.
“um hi are you ‘that girl that’s on yeji’s lock screen’? i’m itzy’s manager can you come with me for a second, please? it’s about yeji…” 
“o-of course!!” following the tall masked figure you follow them backstage as they point at yeji’s dressing room.
“she’s in there.” thanking them you slowly open the door and find yeji on the couch with her head in between her knees trying to calm down.
“hey jiji.” groaning she looks up and sees you.
“wow I haven’t heard that nickname in forever. love what are you doing here?” taking a seat next to the confused yeji who is experiencing the blood come back down to her body.
“well, I’m here to support a very persistent little kitten with her comeback. jiji why are you so nervous? you’ll be fine, you’ve got this.” taking your hand yeji lets out a heavy sigh caressing your palm.
“I know but this time it’s different.” looking up to your face she pouts. “if I can’t do well in this comeback then that means I won’t be able to balance work and dating. I can’t prove to you that I’ll be there for you even when times get busy…” 
cupping your face yeji’s breathing starts to quiver. “I-I still need you.” rubbing your cheek her lips pursed. “tell me you have been feeling the same too?!” 
leaning closer you feel you a desire grow in your body unlike what you’ve ever felt. a small nod makes yeji’s lips turn right side up as she leans in to kiss you softly. getting lost in the feeling you pull away and shake your head dazed. 
“n-no we shouldn’t…” whining yeji pecks your lips again making your resolve melt faster than ice cream on a hot summer day. 
“please? for luck?” batting her eyelashes you roll your eyes while yeji smirks knowing damn well you can’t resist those eyes. coming closer you connect your lips and feel the kiss get deeper and deeper. with her fingers tangled in your hair, you let out a soft moan as she pulled you onto her lap feeling your legs wrap around her waist. pulling you closer to her you grind against her lap making yeji take her hands out of your hair to cup your ass and squeeze it making another low moan escape your lips. your hands find their way inside her shirt making yeji bite your lip softly-
“YEJI!!! YOU’RE ON IN FIVE!” groaning yeji pulls away to answer.
“OK!!!!” startled at almost getting caught you try to get off her but she makes you stay in her lap as the voice behind the door fades away. 
“and where do you think you’re going?”
“j-jiji you have to go-“ placing a finger on your lips yeji’s smile grows. 
“I’ll be back and we’ll continue this conversation in my bed later little one.”

As much as I do love Azure Moon like seriously what is up with literally no one in universe ever pointing out the obvious logical flaws in Dimitri’s kneejerk assumption that Edelgard is responsible for the Tragedy??
I mean, for one only Byleth was with Dimitri when they overheard the Flame Emperor’s conversation, so to everyone else the idea that the Flame Emperor was even involved comes out of nowhere. And the only reason Dimitri and Byleth know is bc tFE brought it up and literally called it ‘a gruesome deed’ that those responsible for would find no salvation. I get that Dimitri isn’t exactly thinking straight but H o w does any of that translate to the Flame Emperor is personally responsible
Dimitri, pls, I know you have critical thinking skills in there somewhere
That fact that most of Azure Moon is fueled by this one ridiculous misunderstanding is kind of obnoxious, like of all the things to be legitimately upset with Edelgard over, why is the focus overwhelmingly on the one thing she didn’t do?

Wild speculation post because I guess this is who I am now, dad
Y’all is no one talking about what Chetney overheard?! We got SO MUCH detail! (Please please please feel free to add on to this)
The transcription:
Matt: You hear voices. One that, as you pick up the conversation says…
Voice 1 (possibly Vali Dertrana) : Our patron is pushing for legislation in the coming weeks, so whatever you plot must be quickened.
Voice 2: Your dullard mind fails to grasp the beautiful pattern I’ve already constructed across the city…
Voice 1 (possibly Vali Dertrana): Ira, I’m serious. Let us get this over with, that I might never deal with your cruel arrogance ever again!
Voice 2 (Ira): Then bring me some riffraff from the steps — people no one would miss — and maybe a Mahaan child just to spice things up… this next wave will-
Voice 1 (possibly Vali Dertrana): -I will most certainly not bring you a child, you freak! And only a short time longer. Finish your work and be gone from my life!
Voice 2 (Ira): Of coooourse. Once my work is done, I shall leave…*sinister chuckle*
What does this all mean? There are so many insinuations and dangling threads and clues, and now I spend the rest of my Monday night trying to piece it all together for the Tumblr critters bc it’s taken over my brain!
Setting info lampshaded in this convo to keep in mind (all taken from the wiki):
the Steps are located at the base of Jrusar, filled with outcasts and people who wish to be free of the city’s business structure
this conversation was overheard in the Moon tower, located in the Mirror Towers guild district which seems to have a strict entrance policy (business or gtfo)
the Mahaan Houses are the noble houses of the Oderan wilds. They oversee and manage the region. Nine individuals from the Mahaan housss are part of the anonymous Chandei Quorum. There seems to be mixed feelings toward these houses, with some vying for power and others trying to do good (according to Eshteross). The Hubatt Corsairs are bent on exposing the identities of the Chandei Quorum, and thus, target the Mahaan houses in many of their actions.
the Chandei Quorum is the mainly anonymous ruling body of Jrusar, and there are questions of collusion between them and the Ivory Syndicate, a criminal organization that began the trade in Ivory (a big fuckin no-no when there are Pachydan that exist ffs)
What we know (plus my wild speculation):
Vali and Ira have a secret meeting place (likely some sort of workshop, arcane or otherwise) in the Moon tower, in the Mirror Towers Guild District, which seems to be very gated, with entry allowed only for those in business. It also seems to be heavily controlled by the Treshi house, who make even Lord Eshteross edgy.
Vali and Ira are working for someone capable of pushing legislation - Aka a member of one of the ruling bodies, perhaps a member of the Chandei Quorum? The suggestion of taking a Mahaan child for whatever purposes, however, hints at a few things — the patron is *not* a member of the Quorum, or else they would likely not be ok with that request, being one of the Mahaan themselves, or they are a member and there is animosity between houses/members of the Quorum, or the patron is a member of the quorum but not a Mahaan themselves. What I’ve seen in the wiki doesn’t seem to confirm or deny whether the open lord is a Mahaan or not, which could be a point in the favour of the patron being the open lord, so to speak. However, their location and business connections with the guilds aligns them even more closely with house Treshi, and if my spidey senses are right, possibly with the Ivory Syndicate.
there’s something fucked up in the House of Treshi. One, they have their hands in more than one guild, which feels very monopoly robberbaron to me — the mason’s guild and the gold guild (which was robbed and which earned Cyrus the bounty on his head), and they’ve been present/in the vicinity near two altercations - the road crew near the Dreamscape’s modded Mimic, and the Gold Cartel theft. I’m going to go out on a limb and say they’re the family tied up with the Ivory Syndicate, and that the cartel theft was more than an inside job, it was a fucking insurance scam on behalf of the Treshi themselves, probably in conjunction with the syndicate, and Cyrus was supposed to be the fall guy for EVERYONE. Even Eshteross seems concerned and on edge with talk of them, giving the party warnings not to accuse them/get involved if they aren’t sure. These guys are BFDs - big fuckin deals (and alternately, but I think just as accurately, bad fuckin dudes).
Vali Dertrana had a coded ledger that said ‘Pay made, order, dreamset’ and ‘requested by Nightmare King. Bring Alive.’ We know Dertrana has been bringing Ira people for what I assume are experiments of an arcano-scientific nature, and that strange corruptions have been occurring for the past few weeks (Dugger). What if Ira is the Nightmare King? I know that’s the code name i’d give to the terrifying freak show that made jellymorphous DUGGER. Just sayin’. As for the pay made, it could be the automaton that was stolen from the Treshi gold cartel. Of it could be short for Payload made…the ‘order, dreamset’ I’ve not got any theories on, though it’s not out of wilds of possibility that the dreamset could be a reference to the dreamscape mimic…
the general contracting work that was supposed to have been done near the Dreamscape Theatre was apparently done by the Treshi house Mason’s Guild, which was plagued with the Spitting Mimic. There were odd orbs implanted in it’s body, one that Imogen managed to steal. This is another connection between the guilds and the odd one-off body horror encounters they’ve been dealing with, and a clue as to some sort of body modification/outside intent. The mimic was planted, and there must be reasons for it, and my guess is that they’re related to whatever nefarious doin’s a-transpirin’ in the house of Treshi, at the hands of Ira. It’s part of his ‘pattern’. I think the mimic wasn’t just eating bodies, but collecting them to be harvested from.
things are going to heat up in the next few weeks both on a political front, and in terms of whatever shadowy business is transpiring in the moon tower. I’m suspecting they’re going to hit big and in a big way, with all the suggestion that things have already been put into place. With talk of detonations, weird body horror happening, and issues in the core spire, I’m guessing that some sort of mass-transformation body-horror were-creature attack on the Chandei Quorum will happen following whatever ‘legislation’ is being pushed, for good or ill. I think all of the previous weird, body-horror encounters are related to this:
The IKEA furniture attack
Dugger and the Shade Creepers
The mimic wall at the Dreamscape Theatre
Gurge the Wildman (and possible were-creature) going missing/getting captured by Vali Dertrana, business commissioner of the Mirror Towers
Dire Wolf attacks (probably a Gurge red herring, but maybe connected to whatever is happening with Ira and the Moon Tower), burglaries, a detonation in the core spire, spirits haunting the Prakash Pyre
Dugger’s fucked-upness started 6 months ago, and was *not* connected to the Hubatt Corsairs, who didn’t know he was smuggling a Brumestone (whether this is relevant or not, I’m not sure yet…)
Neither here nor there, but I’m feeling a big flippin’ the bird energy to capitalism with the start of this campaign and just *chefs kiss* thank you Matt.
This has been downplayed, but I feel like it’s super relevant — Oshad “The Anger” Breshio was working for the Lumas twins who were killed a few weeks ago. The attack was similar to what happened to Keyleth is Zephrah — which we know from EXU has some stake or trade relationship to Residuum. The twins interests were in geology and scientific pursuits — two things we’ve seen at play recently — Brumestone and whatever strange arcano-science has so altered and corrupted Dugger. It seems odd that for those not engaged in anything ‘nefarious’ they should be killed…
gurge becomes a beast ‘when assaulted’ and the dire Wolf attacks seem to have been more than one - someone must have been assaulting gurge to cause him to go into such a state and lose control - someone who wanted him that way for their own purposes… maybe to confirm a hypothesis, or steal parts of his body and mass manufacture whatever werewolf parts of him are there, in order to create some sort of mass-mutagen bomb they can detonate on the populace and cause an attack on their political rivals in the Chandei Quorum, taking out their opposition. I can see how residuum could come into effect with that, or any sort of body mutagenic magics, but the Brumestone I’m at a loss for what purpose the smuggling of Brumestone is serving, because I don’t yet see how levitation could come into play based on these leads so far, though it could be less about the levitation, and more about the smuggling, which would once again point in the direction of the Ivory syndicate
I am making a lot of suppositions and proposing a lot of theories and tbh I just need to know what other people are making out of this insane break in the plot that we just got! What the FUCK is happening and how is it going down?! Who in the good goddamn is the Nightmare King? Why is the Guild District and House Treshi shadier than a beach umbrella?

𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕞𝕙𝕒 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕔𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕙𝕕𝕒𝕪
╰┈➤ includes: bakugou, todoroki, jirou, midoriya, momo, aizawa
╰┈➤ cw: none!! just them being incredibly sweet (if there are any, please notify me!!)
╰┈➤ A/n: this was requested by one of my friends, so i hope i can serve it justice!! also if you have any requests, feel free to request them in the questions box!! <33 also im sorry if there are any word mistakes!!
╰┈➤ word count: 1,803 words
╰┈➤ summary: how they end up finding out it’s your birthday, what they give you and how you spend the day with them (they’re your s/o, general neutral reader)
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
bakugou
you would probably have to tell him like either when you first meet or something like that
but after you tell him, he would act as if he didn’t care, but he would put it on his calendar on his phone
he would also be the type of person to text you at midnight just to say happy birthday bc he wants to be the first person to say it and if you actually ended up replying, he would tell you to get to sleep skfsfn
i feel like he would give you something quite small, but something that you can always be reminded of him by when you have it
it would probably be something you can wear with his name on it or both of your names put together but he would definitely act as if it wasn’t a big deal
like you would be like “thanks katsuki, you’re so sweet” “stop thanking me, i just did it because people get gifts for others when it's their birthday"
i feel like he would also not want to make it a big deal bc he wouldn’t want people think he’s some big softie for you so he would act as if it wasn’t too much to get done
you would probably spend the day with everyone else, celebrating your special day, but he would want some alone time with you in the evening
you would either play games together inside or watch a movie together or even just lay outside on the grass of the ua dorm building and look up at the stars (it's entirely up to you!!)
it would just be really peaceful and you would both be able to just appreciate each other in the silence <3
todoroki
i feel like there are two ways he would find out about your birthday
number one is he overheard someone in the class talking about your birthday coming up and he would immediately take note of it or he literally just asked you
you wouldn’t really think nothing of it since he didn’t know your birthday before if it was the second option (and he would just want to know), but he would make sure to prepare like a least a few weeks earlier
he would probably get you something quite expensive (obviously using his dad’s credit card skfnf)
it would probably be like something that you’ve really wanted and you’ve talked to everyone about it, so he probably just overheard or you’ve even talked to him about it
and seeing your eyes light up as you talk about it, he would just feel so motivated that it was the perfect gift for you
and it definitely would be, since you never thought he would get it for you, but he would say that it didn’t even cost that much and you don’t need to give him anything back bc it's your special birthday (as if you would have to get anything back for him on a normal day skfsnfn)
he would also treat you to gifts throughout most of the day, whether that be taking you shopping or taking you to get food or even going to a theme park
he wouldn’t care as long as he was with you
the day would probably end with you both taking a walk somewhere (probably to the park) and you would just sit on a bench side by side and just admire the surroundings around you
“thank you for today, roki.” “you’re welcome, i hope you had a special day”
he would be so sweet about it all too skfnf
jirou
i just have a feeling that she would know skdndb
either by finding out from one of her classmates or just overhearing you talking about it from someone else asking you when your birthday is
she would definitely prepare something and she may also start to doubt how much you would like your gift
but anything from jirou would be a gift skfnf
she’s been preparing her gift for a while, and she’s quite nervous about it, but she wrote a song about your relationship omg
it’s just overall so adorable and she would probably wait until the evening to perform it to you
you would just be sitting in her room together and she would be like “i have something for you, which i hope you’ll like”
you’re honestly quite confused bc you didn’t really expect her to get you a gift since the whole day had gone by and she hadn’t given you anything
she managed to keep it a good secret and the song would just be about how much she loves you and about the different qualities you possess and what she loves about you (which is everything but she manages to fit everything into a 4 minute song)
literally hug her after she finishes bc it was amazing, like everything about it was amazing
the way she managed to make the guitar sound so soft and the tune was so slow and soothing
and her voice, her voice is just perfection
it would just be the best birthday gift ever
midoriya
he just straight up asked you and scribbled it in his notebook skfnfn
nah cus he’s been preparing this for MONTHS and he’s so nervous about it and especially when he’s around you as your birthday gets closer
so you probably know what he’s planning just bc it’s so obvious but bless him for trying skfnfn
i feel like he would get you something probably that he made or something that’s really special to him (and no it would not be some all might figure kdfn)
he would start the day off by getting you your favourite flowers as he knocks on your room door at like six in the morning
you would usually hate people waking you up this early but seeing him give you flowers and telling you happy birthday with the perfect grin on his face, you can’t help but not be mad
he would probably get everyone to say happy birthday to you like even bakugou would probably be forced to say smth or he would mutter it under his breath
he would make sure that you have a cake and that everything has to go according to plan, he would definitely be the whole leader of the day
then after the whole party is over, he would take you to a special place (either where you had your first date or where you first met) and he would just prepare a picnic for you both
it would be really sweet and he would end up giving you a special piece of jewellery or one of those matching jewellery that connects when you put it together
he would probably have to end up saving up most of his money for it, and he wouldn’t even mind bc it would be spent on you which would give him more motivation
“i hope you had a great day! it took a lot to prepare all of this and i really hope you enjoyed it! i mean even though, the candles arrived at least two minutes late than the designated time, and the cake had a darker shade to the outline than what i had requested and the-”
then the muttering starts, you’re gonna have to stop him and assure him that you had an amazing day and it couldn’t be more perfect since you appreciate all the hard work he had done
momo
she definitely just asked you like it would just seem like something she could easily slide into the conversation and she wouldn’t even notice like “y/n, when is your birthday again?”
and you would just answer her and not think anything of it, she would probably hear about when your birthday was from someone else but she would want to confirm from the person herself just to have a second source that was 100% correct
she would definitely go all out for your birthday, no doubt
she would make sure that at least everyone in the class knows and that everything would go according to plan which it would
she would probably take you out shopping and if you dislike shopping, she would take you to somewhere that you do like and would allow you to spend how much money you want
you would be quite unsure at the start since you don’t want to spend too much of her money but she would say that it’s for your birthday and she wants to treat you so she would insist on it
and don't keep declining bc at this point she’ll think that maybe she should’ve tried harder and she’ll start to doubt herself so please just spend her credit card skfnfn
she would probably get you something quite extravagant after the whole going out trip
whether it be an expensive piece of jewellery or some expensive clothing that you really wanted, she would make sure to get it for you
it would just be really sweet and she would probably be blushing whilst giving it to you after she sees how much you love it
“i just saw that you really wanted it, so i wanted to surprise you with it” bless her heart omg
she’s just overall very precious so please thank her for the whole day skdn
aizawa
for this one, let’s just say that you’re probably a pro hero also or you work at the school (it’s up to you)
he would probably overhear about your birthday coming up from another person, but he wouldn’t think much of it, he would just keep it in mind
on the day of your birthday, you would spend the morning in bed and he would probably get you breakfast in bed, just bc he would want to stay in bed for most of the morning also sjdnf
but if you wanted to actually do smth for the rest of the day, then he would oblige since it was your birthday
you would be able to do whatever you wanted to do, while he follows you around and tries to enjoy himself but he just enjoys being with you
he would end up giving you a ring (smth similar to a promise ring) but he wouldn’t admit it was a promise ring sjnffn
“i just thought it looked nice, don’t think much of it” he would say something similar to this but he would just say that to hide how flustered he is after seeing you appreciate it after opening the box
the day would be similar to a normal day, but just with you being able to enjoy yourself without having to be around the students or (if you’re a pro hero) having to fight villains all day

prvttybvy replied to your post “I was kinda see-sawing on whether or not to post this, since it’s part...”
are u writing a part 2 because i really like this
Okay, okay, yes. Definitely. In fact, this was kind of the part two, itself. It was a spin off of the original work, bc I had that scene and it didn’t connect and fit in with the timeline, so that part itself is like. It’s own thing. I don’t think I’ll be writing out their “not date” but who really knows?
As for the original work for the tw au... Yeah. Imma do it. I know it’s been over a month, but I kinda... got distracted. Um. I do this dumb thing where I create a fuck ton of wips and sometimes finish them, and othertimes just stare at them until something else goes ‘hey! write me!’, but I plan on getting everything I wanted done for the shance and ironically, tw fandom unlike snk, so don’t? worry too, too much?
But thank you for asking. Reminded me to work on, gave me a bit of a boost there. Soooo, in case you’re ever curious, you CAN ask about it, I’d talk about teen wolf (as fucking awful as the show is, and how little it deserves my love) and/or this au until my mouth popped off, so, don’t hesitate. 
ANYWAY. This got out of hand. But I’ll include a read-me with a little thing cut from the main work for your time and effort if you wanna check it out. No Shiro yet and heavy on the Hunk & Lance friendship (that’ll be a serious focus in here, fair warning), but. Here’s something. 
tl;dr - yep, still writing it, sorry it’s taking a long time, but if you wanna snippet of the main work it’s under the cut
“That’s not the point,” he mumbles, frowning at the police radio since he can’t do it at Hunk, who snorts again and Lance has to rush to continue with what the actual point is. “What I’m trying to say is that I heard something pretty interesting with it.”
                 Ever the wonderful, indulging friend that he is, Hunk lets out a hum to prompt him into elaborating further, “Oh?”
                 He almost wants to draw this out and make Hunk guess at what he overheard, at what a 10-54 meant, but he knows that if they wasted time doing this, they aren’t going to have time for what he’s planned next. Knowing this, he shifts his phone to his shoulder so he could use both hands to pull on his socks before dropping his voice to a low whisper. They might not have the time for him to raise the tension, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be a little dramatic.
                 “A body.”
                 Okay, so maybe bodies weren’t small things for everything to start with, but comparatively, it was practically nothing. Besides, how was Lance supposed to know that a possible dead guy would lead to –
                 “A what?!” Ah, now Hunk sounded more awake. Good. He’s going to need all that energy with all the running around they’re about to do.
                 Once his other shoe is on, he stands up and takes his phone into his hand again to give his neck a rest. Pausing right before his bedroom door, he keeps his voice soft, quiet, knowing that if he’s going to do this, he is going to need to be absolutely silent, which meant he has to keep all phone conversation in his room and not down the halls where it could potentially wake anyone up. “You heard me. Now get dressed, there’s no way I’m going to find it all on my own.”
                 “What?”
                 Lance ignores the interruption and presses on, “Don’t worry about the flashlights and what not, I’ve got that covered. Just meet me on your back porch, I’ll be there in ten minutes since I’m going to have to walk. Your house is closer as it is.”
                 Though he doesn’t say anything for a few seconds, long enough that Lance pulls his phone away from his ear to check if he’s still there, Hunk does end up asking, “Closer to… where?” At least he’s not arguing.
                 “The woods,” Lance grins at the squawk that comes through his phone, but doesn’t let it turn into a protest. “So grab your jacket, because I hear it’s gonna be chilly.”
                 Grabbing his backpack and ending the call, Lance slips out of his room and heads for the backdoor, the farthest from the bedrooms and the quietest door, before Hunk can even get the chance to form any kind of logical reason on how this is going to be shitty idea. Lance knows it is, but he doesn’t care. There’s a body out there and he’s going to find it.
               (The woods. He should have started to pick up on things there. It’s so obvious.)
               “That’s not a jacket.”
                 Lance and Hunk have been close friends (best friends) for long enough that they don’t have to start their conversations with a greeting anymore, especially not if they’ve been expecting the other. Hunk doesn’t even question his lack of hello, opting instead to look down at his outfit which doesn’t include a fucking jacket. It’s a long-sleeved (kinda – it goes past his elbows but not even all the way to his wrists) yellow shirt and a green vest thrown over it, collar popped high. Lance specifically told him to grab a jacket.
                 Hunk frowns, plucking at the hem of his vest and shrugs. “I’ll be fine, it’s not that cold. What about you?” He doesn’t have to gesture at Lance’s choice of attire, staring pointedly at it instead. “That doesn’t look like it’ll keep you very warm.”
                 “At least it zips!” Lance scoffs, tugging at his lapels to straighten his admittingly thin jacket against him. “Which is more than yours can do.”
                 “Right,” Hunk says, though to describe his tone as an agreement would be kind of inaccurate. It’s more to pacify Lance than anything, and had it been anyone else, Lance would have assumed he meant it mockingly. Even still, he crosses his arms, saying nothing in return.
 Hunk rolls his eyes and turns to double-check that his door is locked before he steps down to stand next to his friend. “What’s our plan?” He asks once he and Lance are on the same level and Lance has abandoned his pouting for searching through his backpack for Hunk’s flashlight. His attempt at turning the conversation back to their main goal is as effective as it always is.
 “Simple. The woods are big, the police are going to start at the north-west side and slowly fan out, but we,” Lance pauses to slap the back of his hand against Hunk’s chest to emphasize the word, grin way too excited for how late it is. “Are going to start on the south-western border, which is coincidentally closer, and simply loop around them when we run into the search party. Sound easy enough?”
                 “Not really…” Hunk mumbles under his breath, stretching out the word, but Lance pays it no mind as he starts to lead them towards the woods. They still need to walk through the neighborhood a bit until they get to the back of it, cross the field that’s hidden behind the fences that surround the houses, and boom – they’ll be at the Preserve.
                 By the time they’re there, Lance is a lot more excited to see what they’re going to find. Truth be told, they live in a pretty small town, which means two things. One, that while not everyone knows each other, there’s a high chance that this body is going to be someone they recognize. Two, they don’t get a lot of criminal excitement around these parts, so even with knowing that this body’s likely going to be someone he knows, the idea of seeing an actual corpse kind of outweighs everything else.
                 Besides, who else can say they’ve seen a dead person? Certainly no one at his school. Not yet anyway. He is (and Hunk, of course) going to be the first.
                 As he stops at the tree line to pull out some spare batteries for each of them in case they get separated or he loses his bag, Lance tries to remember what he overheard on that radio. “Alright. The descriptions are saying something about late adolescent, male, so he’s going to be around our age or a little older. I think someone mentioned that he was short?” He expects Hunk to snort at his lack of confirmation, but there’s no response. He glances up to see that Hunk’s still there, but instead focused on staring into the forest, eyebrows furrowed in concentration. “What is it, man?”
                 There’s hesitation in Hunk’s answer, enough of falter to make Lance straighten up, fingers curling tightly against the batteries in his palm. “I don’t know… Something just seems off about this suddenly. Like, I feel like I should find this guy familiar.”
                 And that’s… that’s kind of weird, but Lance doesn’t point that out. Hunk’s probably just starting to work up his paranoia. Lance was waiting for that to happen.
                 Pulling up some false bravado, Lance punches him lightly in the shoulder and keeps his tone light, “Don’t worry about it! I doubt we’ll even recognize who it is. I mean, there’s at least five hundred other kids in our school alone, and he could have already graduated, so we probably don’t even know him.”
                 Though he doesn’t read very satisfied with Lance’s attempt at comfort, Hunk does take a long breath in to let go of the tension that was apparently staring to build in his shoulders and sends him a glance, smiling weakly. “Yeah. Maybe, I guess I’m just kinda anxious.”
                 “Don’t be.” Lance holds his gaze, tipping his chin downward to put seriousness into his next words as he hands Hunk his batteries and rests his palm on his forearm. “Nothing is going to happen.”
                 Famous last words.
