i honestly feel like a different person now that it's summer like yes the mental illness is still extremely present but no longer do i wake up in the morning and say to myself "if it is raining for the tenth day in a row then i will stay right here till i rot down into bones"

RANDOM SEIJOH HCs ACCORDING TO GIGI
a/n: this is a thing i cooked up between doing trig exam and ap gov review akdsjfldskfj
Tumblr media
IM PRETTY SURE I ALREADY USED THIS GIF BUT IM WANTING TO RE-DO MY ENTIRE PAGE AND MAKING BANNERS SO THIS IS A TEMPORARY THING AJDJDJJD ALSO I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THE KEEP READING THING ON THE APP BYE
oikawa def listens to indie music just bc he wants to feel unique and the 'iM diFfErENt fRoM oTHeR gUrLs' vibes
i FIRMLY BELIEVE IWAIZUMI HAJIME IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CHOMPS ON HIS ICE CREAM BC HE LIKES TO FEEL THE COLD ON HIS TEETH AKSJSKSKSK
meanwhile kunimi eats a kitkat like its pizza just CHOMP
makki caNNOT sleep without a pillow between his thighs LIKE LISTEN he has 2 sisters and they all told him its so comfortable and at first he was like,, ??,, then he tried and now cant sleep without it
bUT MATTSUN LIKES TO SLEEP WITH PILLOWS SURROUNDING HIM bc it makes him feel safe and like there are two body pillows on either side of him and hes kinda trapped in the middle aksjskdk
when kyo was younger, he was really short and although he had other pants, he loved this one pair but they were really long on him and he wore it all the time and the part of the pants that touched the ground is torn in shreds
kindaichi steps on the sofa before sitting LIKE puts one foot on the cushion then the other until hes literally standing on the couch before folding to sit with his knees up to his chest (i do this)
watari sniffs his food before eating it no matter if its something he eats all the time or something new, he still sniffs it either way
yahaba is really particular with his feet and he likes to get a really big tupperware (duh one only meant for his feet) and fill it up with warm almost boiling water and he just soaks them
oikawa has sleep paralysis and he oftens hallucinates about aliens in the corner of his room
kunimi does this thing where he makes weird noises with his mouth like sounds of his mouth opening LIKE when youre tastinf something new and you do that sound with your tongue (I DUNNO HOW TO DESCRIBE IT AJDKSKKD)
makki bends his knees just to crack his ankles
iwa sneezes a ton but he has those sneezes where theyre quiet that you dont even notice or really loudly that it just echoes throughout the gym
kyo sleeps with one sock on bc his feet gets cold easily but both socks make him feel really hot so only one sock is perfect
for a tall and hunk of a guy, mattsun is a very light walker like his footsteps are very light and if he wants to, it can be practically silent
watari actually hates vegetables ajssksksk he particularly hates zucchini, eggplants, any vegetables that are that shape
kindaichi likes to stick or lean against walls because to him, they feel cold and can decrease his body heat
oikawa stands and places his feet at V position like \/ instead of ll because his sister did ballet and he was taught that was the right way of standing and it was considered graceful
yahaba has a fear of cactuses
mattsun does so badly in the heat because his body temp runs so high and the hot surroundings make him feel so uncomfortable and so he takes a lot of cold showers
iwa cannot swim like he freaks out immediately when his toetips can no longer feel the bottom and he panics with thoughts of drowning
watari has really small feet that he still buys big kids shoes to save money
kyotani considered playing baseball because he thought baseball bats were cool but he got angry and threw tantrum after missing his first pitch
iwa chomps on a whole raw chili while eating ramen akskksks
oikawa actually hates sweets bc when he was younger, he had cavities and iwa showed him a cartoon of cavities eating his teeth and will make him toothless
kindaichi really really likes hugs but hes too awkward to ask them even from his parents
yahaba chomps on mints so he goes through boxes of them in a week
i feel like theres a boy in the team who doesnt brush their teeth everyday and rubs a towel on their teeth to make it look clean and take mints to hide their bad breath
iwaizumi is actually iron deficient so he bruises super super fast and he even developed iron defiency anemia when he was younger bc his parents didnt catch on which caused him to be put on strong medication for months and still takes it now
WAIT,, OIKAWA IS LACTOSE INTOLERANT BUT HE LIKES MILK SO HE EATS MILK BREAD TO MAKE HIM FEEL NOT SO BAD OR GUILTY OF CONSUMING STRAIGHT DAIRY
seijoh four bonding time is watching gordom ramsey shows and yelling and screaming 'YEA! EXACTLY!' as if theyre also cooking genuises
watari used to eat grapes all the time until his mom got worried and told him if he doesnt stop, he will eventually turn into one. he only eats it every few weeks
when he was younger, kunimi cried because he had befriended a chicken on a trip to a farm and his mom took him to eat fried chicken after and he thought it was Chicky (his chicken friend :"))
kyotani used to stick out his tongue when it was raining so he could taste the raindrops. they taste better than bottled water
one time, during a seijoh sleepover, they dared oikawa to wear his sisters old uniform, skirt and all, and it backfired so everyone turned red and couldnt look at him in the face
their pregame ritual is touching each other's shoe tips
they tried doing yoga at yahaba's house before by watching yoga youtube videos but everyone ended up having to go to the chiropractor after (how did makki even turn into the human pretzel?)
the local gym gets so scared when they see the team coming through the doors bc these men are so LOUD like they HYPE EACH OTHER UP SO MUCH THEYRE SO ANNOYING AKSKSKDK
also never take them to an all you can eat sushi place. if you do, bring them earlier of the day like 30 mins after opening time so the cooks can cook enough for them without running out of ingredients (even then sometimes they still run out)
oikawa used to eat his mom's roses from her garden because he thought it would make his farts smell good like roses
takahiro is a surprisingly good artist like he draws really cool action fighting scenes in the corner of his papers and stuff
in my work: it's canon that iwa is half filo and his nanay used to dress him up in a barong all the time during halloween bc she wanted him to showcase his heritage
yahaba drinks a lot of milk because he hopes to one day grow strong and bulky like the 3rd years instead of being seen as a pretty boy
kindaichi's mom is a hairstylist and she always scolds him for using a lot of gel bc she's always the one who washes his hair
makki never learned how to do taxes and hes had the government knocking on his door a handful of times (BOKUTO AKKDJSKKS)
kyo has a dog: a chiweenie
there's someone on the team who wears those socks with individual pockets for toes
their pinterest is so different from what they look like for example, mattsun has a board of different flower decorations and arrangements
kunimi throws up during intense horror movies
watari's celeb crush is emma watson
the team alternates from different music genres like from ateez and bts to mxmtoon and beach bunny
they still dont know how to pronounce camila cabello's name
theyre all active in social media but only oikawa is on it 24/7 and in all platforms while the others have insta and snap
mattsun has twins as little siblings and he used to get them mixed up all the time that he used to draw a sharpie dot on the girl's forehead to determine she was his sister
watari hates sitting on the floor bc his butt bone hurts really easily so he can only sit on cushions for long periods of time
the team was supposed to have a party but everyone didnt know what to bring so they proved they shared the same braincell by bringing the same thing: a box of pizza
makki's an old soul and prefers to play records on a record player or watch old movies
kyo is surprisingly good at giving massages because he really pushed hard on those tense muscles
kindaichi knows how to crack necks so everyone goes to him a lot to do it (a friend of mine does this and can i say its terrifying yet so good?)
the only one who has a license is matsukawa and thats because granny needs to go to the doctor a lot and he hates her walking by herself and cabs are expensive
kyotani and yahaba are actually,,, lowkey close,,, not like best friends but theyre nice to each other and they got a stick and poke together (yahaba's was: :) while kyo's was: >:))
watari has a collection of mangas (some bl maybe 👀)
WARNING SAD: mattsun’s future job is a funeral person right? he ends up taking care of granny’s funeral free of charge and he had to take a week off because it was really painful for him
oikawa learned spanish SUPER fast to the point he forgets japanese sometimes but there are moments where he forgets both languages and hes just,,,, ???
makki’s unemployed yea but he rooms with mattsun in exchange of cooking because makki’s surprisingly good at cooking
iwa is practically the nutritionist of the team because he knows everything about proteins, carbs, iron, and needed vitamins so they all go to him to know what to eat and what they need
kunimi has lots and lots of shoes but usually only wears 2
kindaichi has a habit of pretending hes chewing gum even though he doesnt have gum, his mouth just chomps and moves with air akasldfjkf
there was a clown phenomenon in america but in their city, they had a mascots and seijoh 4 went around scaring kids :”(
oikawa never manspreads he gets too insecure to spread out like that akdjfkd
kyotani can easily sleep anywhere like he would be standing and just fall asleep or he sleeps with his eyes open
yahaba’s parents own a restaurant somewhere in the city and he works there sometimes
IM REALLY GOING TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS YALL AKSDJFKL
SORRY IM WRITING TOO MUCH I FEEL BAD THAT I HAVENT UPDATED BUT IM IN A CAR RIDE RN AND I WAS ABLE TO WRITE AGAIN AND MY EXAMS HAVE FINISHED THIS WEEK IMMA CRY

Trust
Prompt by @nuttynutcycle
“Would you want to go out for coffee sometime?”
The villain perked up. “You mean like a date?”
“Yeah,” answered the hero, calculating exactly how long it would take the police to reach the coffee shop. “Exactly like a date.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Villain’s face lit up with the most genuine smile hero had ever seen. He started to look a bit flustered so Hero grinned “Why, is this your first date?” she teased.
He looked up turning redder by the second. “Yes.”
Hero was taken aback. This was a side to the villain she had never seen before. She smiled thinking how easy it was to fool him. “Then see you at 5pm at the café today” With that she quickly left to inform the police about the time and venue.
Hero had reached the café earlier than Villain to make plans and set up a table for them outside in the little garden, she had also arranged for fairy lights to be hung up around them since it was evening it would look quite pretty. She shook her head thinking of how much effort she was putting into this date considering it was fake.
She had just finished the final touches after messaging the police when she looked up and saw villain enter the café. She glanced down at her watch. She smiled despite herself, it was exactly 5pm and Villain was on time and had an impeccable fashion sense. He looked stylish and quite cute too. Hero stopped herself. Since when did she think Villain looked cute? She reminded herself that it wasn’t a real date and she shouldn’t get distracted.
She led the unsuspecting Villain out to the back of the café which led to the little garden she had specially set up so the police would have no trouble surrounding Villain without disturbing the people inside the café.
Villain’s eyes lit up as he took in the little setup. Hero swore he practically bounded towards the table before pulling out her chair for her to sit first like a true gentleman.
For the first time that day her conscience started to prick her but she maintained her composure as he seated himself and they started discussing what they would order. It was soon decided and their food and drink came soon enough. She laughed while chatting with Villain. Before she knew it, they had finished all their food which granted was just snacks and a drink.
“Would you like some dessert? This particular café sells lovely brownies and ice cream. It’s their specialty.”
Villain grinned “I would never say no to dessert. Especially ice cream,” he said with that charming smile of his.
While their desert was being served Hero felt a buzz on her wrist, luckily her hands were on her on her lap and not on the table at that moment so Villain didn’t see it. She had almost forgotten that she had to notify the police and tell them when they were supposed to make an entrance.  She ignored the message for a while as she wanted to at least let villain finish his desert. She thought with a pang in her heart that this was the least she could do for him after tricking him.
She looked up as she saw villain looking at her with a concerned look on his face. She hadn’t realized she had been looking down at her wrist for quite some time.
“Are you alright? This tastes amazing by the way,” he said with a smile as he gestured towards their dessert, totally unsuspecting and trusting. “You should have yours before it melts.”
She put on a smile, trying to ignore the heavy feeling in her chest and the twisting of her stomach as she picked up her spoon and began to eat. She also quickly pressed the button on her watch to notify the police before she could change her mind.
Villain had just put down his spoon after finishing desert when he heard the footsteps but it was already too late, he was surrounded by the police and they all had their guns trained on him.
His heart shattered as he realized what had happened in a flash. He looked at Hero, his date who had betrayed him. He couldn’t feel anything except sadness and pain at that moment and he just quietly lifted his hands in surrender and went with them quietly.
Hero still sat at the table for quite some time even after Villain had been taken away, shocked, thinking of the look Villain had given her. It wasn’t one of anger but one of sadness and betrayal, one that spoke of the pain and loss of trust that he had placed in her. She suddenly realized it too late. She actually liked Villain and she had ruined their first date which had gone pretty well up until the moment she decided to hand Villain over to the police and ruined it.
She finally realized what she had to do. She couldn’t believe she was going to break Villain out of jail just when she had been the one to put him in. She swore under her breath as she quickly left the café.
Hero wasted no time as she reached the jail and quickly went down to Villain’s cell. It was the highest security one there was. She looked in Oh great he hadn’t been chained so that would make it easier for her. He had probably just been put in a few minutes ago.
“Hey!” she waved at Villain quietly trying to get his attention. She would have to time this perfectly since the guard would be back soon as she had managed to distract him with something that would hopefully keep him busy for about ten minutes
Villain looked up and she froze. The look in his eyes was different now, the pain and sadness was still there but it was muted, masked with a shield, a cold look that hid his feelings. He no longer would trust her, she realized with a sinking feeling.
She decided to not say the line she had planned to say “Do you trust me?” sounded ridiculous to her after what she had done to him.
She decided to say “I know you might not believe me but I’m going to get you out of here we have to hurry. Don’t worry I know exactly how to get out of here safely since I know exactly how to prevent people from escaping from all the possible ways. Who knew it would be useful for breaking people out too!”
Villain looked at her wearily but realizing she was the best and quickest way out of there he nodded and cooperated with her.
Within no time she managed to get him out of the cell and they were out of the compound within seven minutes and had three minutes to spare. Now that they were far away in a safe place she turned towards Villain “I’m really sorry about that but its safe now so you can go.”
Villain gave her a bitter smile as he gave her a curt nod and left without a word.
Hero sighed, she didn’t blame him but now it would be almost impossible for her to ask him on another date.
She looked at Villain’s forlorn retreating figure and decided to give him some time before she tried again. She had no idea how she would be able to get him to trust her again but she still wanted to give it a shot.
Little did she know that Villain had sealed his heart and decided never to trust anyone again as he walked away that day, he changed.
His true personality lay buried deep inside as he put on a cold mask and with no one to melt the barrier around him with warmth and kindness, that was the day he truly became a Villain.

You Will Never Be A God-Une
Tumblr media
Warnings: Slight language, implied smut, alight angst
Word Count: 1.7k
A/N: Here is the official part one! Hope you'll like it, reblogs and feedback are always appreciated!
Series Masterpost
The sheets hung loosely around her frame, the only thing keeping her from being exposed to the cold air. The stranger laid beside her in a dazed out state, chest rising ever so slowly. A small cloud of smoke engulfed the both of them, a bad habit Stevi had picked up from an ex of hers.
“Those will kill you one day.”
“No more than sleeping with strangers will.”
“Touche.”
Stevi moved to get dressed, keeping quiet to avoid another conversation. Leaving was always bad, but leaving when there was still so much to be said was the worst. She couldn’t quite place it, but there was a feeling, something small sitting in her gut. It worried her, she’d never felt like this with a stranger. So safe and comfortable.
“Stay. Just till the morning, I’ll have my driver take you home.” Came the voice from the other side of the bed.
“No, definitely no. I have rules, no names, no staying. I can’t”
“What a lonely life you must live, to disconnect so much from those around you.”
Stevi looked at him, truly looked at him. He looked so much different than the man she met a couple hours ago. His perfectly gelled hair was nothing more than a brown mess atop his head, his eyes were clouded with a sleepy haze, and his suit had been replaced by a very thin sheet. He looked like someone she could see herself falling for back in university, she had to remind herself that this was a man with a lot of money, someone she’d probably dig up dirt on for an article.
She shook her head, she needed to leave.
After she finished dressing, she grabbed her bag from the front room and slipped out the door. Checking her phone she saw a couple missed calls from Brooke and an enthusiastic ‘be safe!’ text from Poppy. She quickly both, ensuring them that she was not dead in a ditch somewhere, before ordering an uber and hoping in the elevator.
***
The rest of the weekend had gone by in a blur. She’d spent all of Saturday nursing her hangover with ice cream and old reruns of Golden Girls in bed. Then Sunday was brunch with the girls at a little cafe where she was forced to share every detail of the events that unfolded Friday night, only leaving out how weird she had felt in the strangers' company. And then all too soon she was getting ready for a week of meetings and interviews.
Walking into the office, Stevi was greeted by her boss informing her that her 11am was now Stevi’s and ‘oh, look, he’s early.’ She mentally groaned, there was not enough caffeine in the world to make this worth it. Don’t get her wrong, Stevi loved her job, but god did she hate her boss. She was flakey, and whenever anything didn’t appeal to her, she’d simply give it to Stevi with barely any notice. There were far too many nights that she had to stay late because she was given a column to write only hours before it was due.
With a heavy sigh, she walks into the conference room, hoping that this won’t last long. “Good morning, my name is Stevi, I’ll be doing the interview today since Diane couldn’t be here.”
“Rule one.”
She whips her head up towards the man, “What?”
It’s in that moment that she realizes who this is, the man from Friday night. And coincidentally, Tom Holland. She should’ve known the other night who he was, his name and face had been plastered on the bulletin board for weeks, one of their most anticipated interviews this year. Tom was not only a pretty face, but the youngest CEO to be running an international company in decades. His father had started Holland and Co. Publishing almost 30 years ago, and only a few months ago he handed it over to Tom.
“I said, rule one darling. You’ve broken it.” She’d forgotten how lovely that voice was, remembering how captivating it was to have him whispering in her ear.
“I heard what you said, Mr. Holland.”
“Call me Tom, you’ve more than earned that privilege.”
“This is my place of work, not some stupid nightclub, I keep things professional here.”
Neither of them take their eyes off the other, a silent war taking place between the two of them.
“Well, if you’re such a professional, stop looking at me like you’re wanting to fuck me.”
A small gasp leaves Stevi. She stands up to leave, gathering her things, and looks at him with venom in her eyes, “Mr. Holland, I’m afraid that this interview is over, if you would please talk to the receptionist she will reschedule you in with someone other than me.”
A small look of shock crosses Tom’s face before he too stands, reaching out to grab Stevi’s arm, “Wait, I'm sorry. Sit down, I’ll be civil.”
Reluctantly, she does. Placing her notebooks in front of her and pulling out the recorder. Before she begins she gives Tom a warning look, “One word, one single word out of line, and this is over.” To which he nods and sits back, hands folded in his lap, looking like a true business man.
***
The rest of the interview goes by smoothly, only a couple of suggestive looks being thrown her way before he bites his tongue. Stevi’s never been more relieved to finish something in her life, the tension between the two becoming almost unbearable as the interview went on. “Okay, I think that’s all we need for the article, a draft will be sent to your assistant to go over before we publish it in next week's business column.”
Stevi stands quickly, ready to put everything behind her and spend the rest of her day hiding in her office. Before she can leave, a hand is wrapped around her arm once again, and body right behind her. “Let me take you to dinner, darling. A reward for being good.”
The voice in her ear sends a shiver down her spine, and for a second she debates it, “Tom, I can’t. I don’t mix business with pleasure, this is already a conflict of interest.”
“More of those damn rules. Live a little, let your guard down for once.” He looks at her with pleading eyes, something that makes him look more like his true age. That feeling sneaks its way back into again, and for a moment, while she stares into his eyes, nothing else exists. Just the two of them and a world of possibilities.
“If I say yes, this stays between us. The people we are here, and the people we are then are not the same. My job may not seem dangerous to you, but it could be very bad for me if someone gets the wrong idea.”
Tom nods, he knows all too well what she means. “Tonight at 7, meet me at The Garden on 22nd, I’ll make the reservation.”
She agrees, lets him put his number in her phone, and gives Tom one last smile before heading down the hall to her office.
She jumps when she sees someone sitting at her desk, “James, what are you doing here?”
“What, can’t check in on my favourite captain?”
“Not without a secret agenda, and last I checked, I have nothing to report to you, I’m off duty.” Stevi walks towards him, pushing his legs off of her desk.
“Ah, sweetheart, you’re never off duty. Not when you’re talking to men like that.” James points out the door, to where Tom can be seen talking to the receptionist.
“That is none of your business, James.”
“I want details, everything you can find out about him, on my desk by Friday, you know what’ll happen if it’s not. Have a good day Stevi.” And with that, James walks out of the room, leaving a chill hanging in the air.
Stevi suddenly can’t breathe, the four walls surrounding her feeling like a cage. She quickly grabs her things and walks to Dianes’ office, telling her there’s a family emergency and she’ll work on the article at home. Within minutes she’s scrambling to get into her car, dialing Poppys’ number, needing someone to calm her down.
She spends the rest of the day on Poppys’ couch trying to recover from her near mental breakdown. This life was never something she wanted, she’d been dragged into it by her ex. After he failed to complete a simple task, he was killed in their apartment, and she was responsible for finishing it out. But it’s never that simple, one task turned into two, and then four, and now she was too far in to be able to leave.
All too soon, it was 6:30 and she was leaving for her date with Tom. She’d left Poppys an hour ago, promising her that there was nothing to worry about, it had just been a bad day. She drove in silence, not wanting to focus on anything but the road. She got to the restaurant right on time, quickly being seated in one of the private rooms. She’d been here once before with her parents when she first moved to the city. They’d taken her out to celebrate and they’d spent the night drinking fancy wine and eating more food than they could’ve ever imagined.
Lost in her memories, she didn’t realise how much time had passed since she’d arrived. Checking her phone she saw that it was now quarter past, and no sign of Tom. She tries texting him, thinking maybe he’d gotten off of work late. By 7:30 she starts to panic, she’s 2 glasses of wine in and still no sign of him. To no avail, she calls him, worry turning into anger when it goes straight to voicemail.
It’s almost 8 when the waiter informs her that Tom has called, he won’t be making it, but to order whatever she likes and he’ll pay for it.
And so she sits there, wine glass in hand, wishing she’d never even met Tom.

Ateez: August Dates ~ Week One
Every month I'll be posting 5 dates with the guys for a whole year (1 update a week)
Hongjoong:
Tubing the River
You guys take an hour long drive up to the river, listening to the radio quietly as you discuss your nerves & excitement
After arriving to the destination you rent 2 floats/tubes and tie them together so you guys can stay together and so he can make sure you dont get lost
As you stand in line waiting to get in the water, Joong stares at you from the side as if you're the only thing in the world worth looking at & loving meanwhile your excitement/nerves get the better of you as you stare at the rapids up ahead
If you were nervous, he would take your hand and squeeze it, giving you a reassuring look/smirk to help you relax
If he gets scared, you would sing the part in 'My Way' to him jokingly in a deeper/teasing voice "dont be afraid" and he would blush and laugh, covering his face but agreeing with you. Seeing your smile he couldn't be scared
Once you made it to the water and dipped your foot/toes in, realising how cold it is you gasped and quickly pulled it back out of the water
Hongjoong would squat/kneel down and cup the water in his hand gently splashing your legs to help you adjust to the coldness, once you gave the signal you were alright he would take your hand and help you sit in your tube before pushing them into the water and getting inside his own
At first you guys gently floated down the stream, enjoying nature. He would make Pirate jokes and references about 'owning these seas' as you roll your eyes and laugh, playing along. You would point at the clouds, trees, rocks as you passed them so you guys could admire these things together
His eyes would mostly be on you, he felt relaxed and happy. At one point he would whisper 'I love you' unable to hold back, and as you ask 'huh?' After not hearing him properly a dip/small waterfall would come up pulling y'all down before he could answer
The rest of the stream would be full of curves, small bumps and fast rapids. Don't worry though, he's there to hold your hand and make you smile if you get scared.
If you get hurt or fall off he'll be so fast to pull you to the side, clean you up and treat your wound as best he can with what he has and help you back in the raft (if you wanna continue) He'll also apologize and kiss your injury
As you continue to float down the river he occasionally splashes you, teases you and just makes a lot of subtle jokes
He also falls out a lot which you tease him for. When you guys get stuck on a rock or hill, he'll be the one to get out and unstuck y'all as he laughs and shakes his head
Once you make it to the end he'll jump out first and help you out of the tube, taking the floats from the water he'll insist on carrying them
As you walk back to the rental shop, hand in hand, he would thank you for a great date and ask to do this again some time
Back at the car he'll take your towel and dry your hair fluffing it up before wrapping it around your shoulders finally drying himself afterwards before taking you to get some food
Tumblr media
Seonghwa:
Farmers Market Brunch
Waking up early you and Seonghwa head to the Farmers Market (fresh foods store) to buy ingredients for your brunch
At the store he would pick up the basket/push the cart
Stopping at the fruits/vegetebales first he looks over sales prices and limited time foods first while you mostly joke around while also picking and bagging your iteams
Holding up two tomatoes you ask your boyfriend, "hey hwa, say I have two tomatoes but then I lose one. What do I have? A-Spare-I-GUESS" before pulling a bundle of asparagus out from behind your back and laughing at your own pun as he shakes his head while laughing very subtlety (his pained laugh)
When things are out of your reach or even a little heavy, Seonghwa will grab them for you and place them neatly in the cart
At the checkout he would pay for everything without hesitation and even carry all of the bags so you don't have to worry about it
Back at home ready to cook, Seonghwa prepared all the ingrediants while you washed up
You guys have matching aprons that you always wear when cooking together, he would tie yours for you while smiling, happy knowing you guys have a matching set of something it really helps him know you guys are a couple and little things like this make him really blushy and happy
Ready to cook he would chop everything that needed cut while you did the stirring and mixing. He would do whatever you asked him to as well
Once the food was on the stove he would offer to do the flipping/stirring just to make sure you wouldn't get burnt
Meanwhile you made the drinks preparing the juice/coffee and pouring them into your matching mugs/glasses
As you made the drinks Seonghwa couldn't help but to keep looking over at you and how gorgeous you look, he almost burned the food as he got distracted
Once it was all ready, you made the plates while he set up the balcony, laying blankets on the ground and setting up the side dishes picnic style, helping you carry the food out after you got them onto their plates/In their serving dishes
Seonhwa leaned against the wall and you leaned against him, your back and head on his chest as you looked at the sky/ocean/garden/whatever you like and as he watched you
Between your talking and random discussions, hwa would feed you berries/fruits and smile at how you look so peaceful while just eating
Even after finishing you food the two of you just lay outside together enjoying the nice weather and each others company
Eventually you get up and clean up the mess together, he offers to wash the dishes and do whatever chores you don't want
Tumblr media
Yunho:
Museum of Ice Cream
Looking for date ideas online you came across the 'Museum of Ice Cream' and immediately jumped up running to the kitchen to show Yunho and begging him to take you. He said 'sure' before you even finished asking as he was curious as well
Before you guys went he made sure to preorder tickets, get new film for his camera and coordinate outfits with you
On the day of the date he took you to the museum and was in awe and shock from the building and how cool everything was. He opened all the doors for you but also admired everything around you guys
You start off in the 'Ice Cream Vault' where y'all met the leader and answered the questions based on facts from the walls which he found fun being able to work with you to solve these answers
You guys then found out you can only go forward not backwards which made him decide you guys would take your time in each room even if that meant seeing some things twice
The first room you were lead to was the Army men and Whip cream room. He made sure to take pictures of you with everything, having you pose like the army men and pretend to hold the balloons. He also asked you to take some pictures of him, wanting to be able to remember this always. Before moving on you guys had some fun in the photobooth and he made sure to get two copies so you guys can keep the pictures in your wallets as a memory
The next room was the diner where you got to try ice cream. He 'mnm'd at the deliciousness his eyes widening as he turned to look at you curious if you'd have the same reaction
In the diner, he messed around with the phones, pretending to call his parents and had a fake phone call with them that left you cracking up. He also drug you over to the juke box to have a look see before you sadly moved on
'what do you scream for?' The room of magnetic letters was up nexted. Yunho had so much in this room like a little child. He ran around leaving you little messages around the walls signing them all with your special nickname. Some messages include ' You look dorky in those pictures' 'But still cute' 'I love ice cream' 'but not as much as I love you' he also left a bunch of random ones and lyrics from their songs for you and also couldn't wait to see what you wrote
Being forced by you to move on to the next room, Yunho pouted a bit but only shortly. After entering the room of cherries and cotton candy he pulled out his camera jaw dropped and handed it to you having you take photos of him pretending to bite a cherry and other silly poses but also some modest photos as well. Of course he took pictures of you as well, between holding your hand for the first time today and heading down the walkway together
Gummy land was next, obviously he had to take pictures of you with the gummy bears and he even made friends with one of the play creatures, playing hand games such as patty cake with the sculpture and giving him fake bunny ears in the photo
After successfully exasperating you and making you laugh, your boyfriend pulled you into the Animal cracker room where he had you pose in front of an animal cracker elephant riding a merry go round and other designs. You guys also got to ride on the rides/animal crackers which he loved so much giggling every 2 seconds and smiling at you like a child
The room of mirrors was your next stop. Yunho decided to dance in front of the mirrors and rainbows as you filmed him and acted as his hype (wo)man he cheered you on and attempted to get you to act dumb as well while some passerbyers laughed and cheered along and even joined in
Laughing together as you guys leave the magical room, Yunho holds you close by your shoulders and walks you into the mint room pointing out the obvious mint smell as you walk in. At this point he was a bit more relaxed and settled, being able to calmly tour this room taking pictures of you in front of the mint leaves and commenting on the structural design
The 'pool of sprinkles' was next, he took you to swim with the ice cream toppings even though you only had a limited time he made sure you had fun and he definetely dumped sprinkles over your head and into your clothes. Lets just say you left with sprinkled everywhere!
The last room on the tour was the swings. Banana swings, ice cream sandwhiches, ect. You guys had a bit of fun playing on the little swings and taking pictures here as well before heading hand in hand into the gift shop
Yunho bought you guys matching sprinkle crowns thinking it was funny and cute, he acted like the ice cream queen as he wore one of them and followed you around the gift shop judging your choices to make you laugh but really he bought you whatever you wanted before saying how much of a fun time he had, not wanting to leave

Yeosang:
Mini-Golf
Wanting to take you out on a fun little date Yeosang thought taking you to play mini-golf at a little dinosaur themed course would be the best choice
You guys would get to get closer, do something different and be outside
Before you guys go inside he makes a little bet with you. If he wins you buy him lunch, if you win he buys you lunch
Inside the rental shop, he helped you pick out the best golf club and ball for your height and weight to help you hit it best and make it easier for you to play
He did make jokes, walking out with a gold club designed for a toddler saying it was perfect for you (making fun of your height jokingly) before apologising with a little laugh and grabbing the right club for you. He even chose a golf ball in your favorite color remembering what it was from when you told him last time. He remembers everything about you.
On the golf course, he would be really focused which you would admire and stare at his face due to his serious and intense eyes as they lock onto the ball
He seemed very poised and composed as he hit the ball with the the perfect amount of strength and at the right angle, you couldn't help but notice how professional he looked
On your turn he helped you as well, showing you how to angle your club for the perfect hit and whispering everything just loud enough for you to hear it (even if you already know how to play he would still reteach you)
Every time you pout after missing he would tease you for your face and comment on how bratty yet adorable you look as he stands a few feet away from you arms crossed, chin in his hand and smiling
As you continue along the course he asks you to write down your guys scores and he continues to get the ball in the hole in 1-2 hits - 3 at most. He also laughs quietly every time you miss loving how you look when you get frustrated. He keeps telling you that you'll 'get it next time'
On your turns he would try to distract you, talking about chicken and asking where you should take him to eat once he wins. He also would pretend to blow towards the ball and just as you began to swing he would call you beautiful, breathtaking, lovely, ECT. catching you off guard and making you miss (or sometimes get it a hole in one, it was a blessing and a curse)
Even though he walked ahead of you, walking on the edges of the golf courses like a balancing beam, he continued to look back making sure you were close behind so he didn't lose you
If he saw you looking down he would let you know its okay to quit if you aren't having fun, but he would still do his best to make sure you were having an enjoyable time
As you wait for the people in front of you to finish their turns, he takes pictures of you with the dino props on the sides of the course
At the end of the game he did beat you but only by a few points. He made sure to compliment your skill as you guys took the tools back to the shop, before heading across the street to the chicken restraunt
Even though he won, he still paid for lunch saying seeing you pout was payment/reward enough before asking you to do it again and trying to copy how you looked
Tumblr media
San:
Sunset Beach Walk
You and San had rented out a beach house for the summer but up until now your nights were full of fun outings or falling asleep early so you haven't been able to go on a sunset walk yet
However San knows how much you love walking on the beach so he cleared up tonight's schedule to make sure you guys would be able to get a nice view
It was still fairly early and as you and San waited for the sun to set, you sat on a beach blanket and played some music singing together and soaking up the sun
With your legs in his lap, San began massaging and rubbing along your calves and ankles up to the backs of your knees
Every now and then he would tickle you softly and make you laugh a bit as you pull your leg away from him out of reflexes, just for him to pull it back
Eventually he tackled you down onto the blanket with a weak yet loud lion roar as he tickled you making you squirm and laugh beneath him
You ended up tickling him back to get him off you and some how, you guys ended up laying on your sides, San behind you holding your waist and spooning you as you traced his finger tips gently and whispered to him
You spoke softly about how you never want summer to end and how this has been the best summer of your life all thanks to him, about how you're slightly worried about how things will be once you go back to life as normal
San reassured you saying he would never treat you differently, promising that even after you guys go back home and to work he'll still spend time with you daily and show you love the same as always and the same as he has done all summer long
Soon the sun began to set just as you finished your talk with your lover, giving you the perfect chance to ask San on a walk under the sun
He stood up slowly before helping you up and pulling you by your hand into the water. Before stepping in he helped you take off your shoes and even carried them for you as you walked hand in hand under the colorful sky.
Mostly staying quiet and just enjoying this peaceful moment together, you let your hands slide up his arm and hug it as you walk closer to him
Walking through the warm water, San kicks some of it up making splashing motions gently
He ended up splashing you with water, which you scolded him for jokingly before kicking some water up onto him
The whole thing ended in a little water fight. San leaning down to splash you with water making you gasp
Seeing your reaction he ran away from you and you chased after him laughing and warning him about what will happen once you get to him
Finally catching up to San he grabbed you from behind before you could do anything to him and he spun you around in a little circle a few times before putting you down and kissing you under the sunset
The sun shined and reflected on the water beautifully. After your kiss, you turned to see the sunset as you hugged your boyfriend and smiled peacefully
Standing together for a while watching the sunset, you got tired just as it began to get pretty dark
"Should we go?" San asked softly as you laid your head against his chest and blinked your heavy eyelids several times
Nodding, San picked you up bridal style and carried you back to the house kissing you softly every couple of feet as you fell asleep in his arms
He would lay you down and freshen you up a bit before covering you up and kissing your forehead goodnight, whispering how much he loves you before kissing each of your eyelids and turning off the light
Tumblr media
Mingi:
Water Balloon Fight
It wasn't really early in the morning, nor was it late. The time however? Didn't matter. All that mattered was that your boyfriend was hungry and lonely and he wanted you up, NOW.
He took one of the packs of water balloons you guys had bought a couple days ago, and he opened it up filling all 30 balloons up with water and dropping them into a small bucket
Going to your bedroom he ran in screaming, jumped up and down on the bed and began throwing water balloons at you while yelling 'its time to get up, wakey wakey eggs and Mingi wants bakey' between his laughs
You weren't a happy camper at the way you were woken but seeing Mingi smiling made you want to kill him a little bit less
You crawled out of bed silently not wanting to yell at him too harshly and instead you went to change and freshen up. From inside the bathroom you yelled to your boyfriend that if he wants breakfast he'll have the bedsheets in the washer and the mattress sitting outside to dry by time you came out
He rushed to get the chores done, tossing the blanket and sheets in the washer quickly (forgetting to add soap and press start however) and then he took the mattress and did his best to drag it outside onto the pavement to dry
Keeping your half of the deal, you cooked breakfast and ate with Mingi listening to begs of having a waterballoon fight today. He wouldn't shut up about it all throughout breakfast so in the end you agreed
Later that day, after all the balloons were full of water and seperated evenly between the two of you, you guys came up with different games to play using the balloons
First you both played 4 corners. Each corner that y'all made up had a different color (blue, orange, pink, purple) One of you would get spun around for ten seconds while the other ran between the corners before deciding where to hide. You both hid and guessed 5 times
Every time the guesser guesses the right corner, they get to throw a balloon at the hider. Everytime the one hiding chooses the corner that wasn't guessed they get to throw a balloon at the one guessing
Mingi was bad at both, he guessed and chose blue every other round making it easier for you to find him and win meaning he got hit with a lot of balloons
Next up was baseball using the waterballoons and a thick stick. This one, Mingi was better at. He managed to hit just about every balloon while you missed quite a few finding this harder than you thought it would be
After playing 2-3 more games, you and Mingi used the rest of the balloons to have an actual all out water balloon fight
He did NOT hold back
Mingi would hide in a tree and drop water balloon bombs on you, hit you from around the corner, he didn't throw them super lightly either
However, you didn't hold back either. Using a mini slingshot to launch the balloons at your man, throwing 4-5 at a time and hitting him every time
It was a pretty fair war
After all the balloons were gone, you guys took an old tarp and laid it across the yard. You took some soap next and squirted a bunch of it all down the tarp mixing it with water from the hose as Mingi blew up little floats, up next a slip and slide!
On Mingis turn he would do random tricks, act like a fish out of water, and dance before hoping onto the float and sliding down the tarp
Once he hugged you tight and flopped you both on the float, him on his back you on his chest sliding you both down the slippery slide together
By the end of the day you were both soaked and a mess, heading in to shower Mingi kept saying he was fine and insisting that the slip and slide counted as a bath since it was soap and water after all
Eventually y'all cleaned up and got in your pajamas, cooked dinner and ate
After dinner you scolded Mingi for not washing the sheets but in then end had a good idea anyways
You took an old old old sheet from your closet and took it outside, laying it on a dry patch of grass. You and Mingi then took the mattress and laid it down on the sheet, before making the bed with sheets, blankets, pillows like normal and sleeping outside together
Tumblr media
Wooyoung:
Chalk Art
Heading outside with a new pack of chalk you and Wooyoung create a bunch of 3D pictures
From drawing balloons amd pretending to hold onto them for a 3D photoshoot to drawing a hopscotch board to play on
While Woo drew on the sidewalk, he kept calling you over to look at his stick figures holding hands and climbing rainbows and stuff
He also drew symbols and movie references as well as random foods and iteams he likes
He would kind of rock back and forth like a child focusing on his art work as you lay on the ground and draw your own designs to surprise him with
Sharing art with each other and being a little unsure as to what one another drew, you both used your imagination to go into each others magic worlds
During hopscotch you and Wooyoung sang kid songs and competed for the fastest time
He cheered you on from the side but also kept saying you won't do as good as him no matter how hard you try
In the end his back handed cheers only proved to work in your favorite as you won against him
Woo obviously got defensive saying he let you win and that you should be thankful to him
A few hours before it got dark, you and Wooyoung cleaned up all the chalk before chasing fireflies and running around aimlessly
You spent your night joking with one another playing games
Tumblr media
Jongho:
Dinner Cruise
Wanting to take you somewhere nice and to do something that would impress you, Jongho made dinner reservations on a cruise ship for you guys
He told you to dress up nice, he himself cleaned up nicely and bought a new scent (perfume/cologne/spray) just for tonight's special occasion
Picking you up exactly when he said he would, Jongho knocked on your door and waited for you to answer it. He was speechless at first seeing you, but was able to in the end get out how stunning you truly are
He walked you to the car and opened your door for you, helping you slide inside before helping you buckle and shutting your door for you
He struggled to keep tonight's location a secret as he drove y'all to the dock
Arriving and seeing the cruise ship you were now the jaw dropped one making him smile and his heart skip a beat
Again he opened your door for you and helped you out this time, locking his arm with yours your boyfriend walked you through the ship and to the dining room
He pulled your chair out for you, waited for you to sit down and then pushed it back in for you
Sitting across from you, Jongho had no idea what to say or do
He asked about your day while looking over the menu and tapping his foot ever so nervously
When the waiter arrived he let you order first before copying what you got or going with your second choice if you were indecisive
Throughout the meal he continued to talk mostly about what you wanted to and occassionally about little random things and philosophical questions as well as debates
After supper he ordered you guys your favorite dessert to split, feeding you small bites when nobody was looking and letting you have most of it
After you both ate and rested your tummies, Jongho would again lock his arm around yours and walk you guys around the ship to get a better view of everything
That night he kissed you under the stars before taking you home and making sure to call/text when he got home so that you wouldn't worry

The Wild Flower (Tomoki Matsuba x OC) Prologue
Tumblr media
It was finally the long-awaited moving day. I was moving into an apartment by myself. My dad helped me get the perfect apartment. The negotiations had gone smoothly and it was time to move in. I decided to walk to the new apartment to learn the new neighbourhood better.
My cousin and I had stopped and checked the map we had.
"Hmm, it looks like it's this way." My cousin, Ayame, pointed ahead of us. The pedestrian light turned green. "Come on!" She rushed across the street. With how excited she was getting, you'd think she was the one starting a new chapter of her life, so to speak.
"Wha-! Ayame!" I called after her. I quickly shoved the map into my bag before running after her. She turned around to wait for me, and her eyes widened.
"Hotaru! Watch out!!"
I looked to the side and saw a white limo heading towards me. I gasped but managed to leap out of the way before it could hit me, right into a puddle of ice-cold water.
"Hotaru! Are you alright?!" Ayame came running up to me, panicked.
"Peachy." I looked at my soaked clothing in utter dismay. Just as I was about to get up from the ground, a gentlemanly man dressed in black stepped out of the limo. A butler? I stared dubiously at him as he reached out his hand.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Oh, I'm great," I replied sarcastically. I had the right of way. I should not have had to escape death so narrowly. And I wasn't about to take his hand either. I shot him a nasty glare as I got up by myself.
"Your clothing... This is my fault. Allow me to make it up to you."
"What the hell was that? Don't you know how to read a road sign? Jesus Christ, you could have killed me!" I scolded him.
"You're right, I am so sorry." He bowed to me. "I'll get you a change of clothes," the man said gently.
"I don't need it," I snapped.
"Please, I insist. I can't leave a beautiful young girl looking like this. For one thing, my employer would be angry with me."
"Hotaru," Ayame whispered, "Maybe you should accept his offer. He looks like he feels really bad."
"You're too nice," I whispered back before turning back towards the butler. "Fine, whatever."
He smiled as he opened the door of the spacious limo and ushered us inside.
"My apologies. I should have stated earlier. My name is Aoi Shirafuji. I'm a butler to the Ichijo family," the butler introduced himself.
I stilled. "Ichijo?" I repeated.
"Oh, you know Mr Ichijo?" Aoi asked, looking somewhat concerned.
"No, I've just heard a lot about the Ichijo Group," I managed to force out. "The amusement parks the company has built is really quite impressive." I forced a smile. Somehow I felt like I just stepped on a landmine.
We arrived at a large and impressive mansion and Aoi took me to a room with a large full-length mirror and closets full of a wide range of clothing. "This way. Choose whichever you like."
The clothes were both my style and my size. It sent unpleasant shivers down my spine; I felt sick.
"Does a girl our age live here?" Ayame mused. I didn't answer. "Hotaru? Hey, are you okay? You seem a little tense." She furrowed her brow.
"Mm," I choked out. I didn't feel particularly eager to talk about it. "I'm... going to get dressed. Would you mind waiting outside?"
"Uh, yes, sure." Ayame knew me too well. She knew I wasn't being myself.
I took a shaky breath. Then another. Another. I took several deep breaths until I felt slightly calmer. I really didn't want to be here. Feeling like I wouldn't explode, I grabbed the first dress I saw off its hanger, not bothering to even look at it.
There was a knock on the door as I finished getting dressed.
"Yes?" I replied though I hadn't finished fastening the hook of the dress yet. It wasn't Aoi who entered the room.
"I'm Tomoki Matsuba. I'm one of the butlers here. I'm here to pick up the garments that require cleaning," the butler said. Bow-tied, black-suited and bespectacled, he exuded a rigidness befitting of a butler.
"Right. My cousin; did she...?"
"She went ahead to the garden," Tomoki responded.
"Oh." I bit my lip. Now what? I couldn't reach the clip on the back of my dress. I took yet another deep breath." Would you mind helping me fasten the hook on my dress? I can't quite reach it," I said.
"Please turn around." I did as he said and turned my back to him. He swiftly fastened the hook at the back of the dress before speaking again. "I'm going to do your laundry. Would you like some tea while you wait?"
"That would be lovely, thank you," I answered.
"This way." I followed Tomoki to the garden where Ayame was already waiting for me. She was sitting at a table, drinking from an elegant tea set.
"Kyo Aizawa. I'm a butler. Would you like anything else to drink?" Yet another butler introduced himself to me.
"The tea will be just fine, thank you," I replied formally as I sat down. Kyo promptly poured tea into the beautiful cup. "Thank you," I smiled up at Kyo once he was done.
"It's an original black tea blend using roses from this garden," he informed me.
"It smells wonderful."
"I recommend first tasting it black." A delicate pattern covered the teacup.
"This is Queen Rose, is it not?" I inquired, inspecting the cup. It suited the garden, but I was too on edge to enjoy it. Kyo didn't look the least bit surprised that I knew that.
"That's correct. It was produced in the early 18th century at the Raines factory." I nodded as I delicately held the cup and took a sip.
"How do you even know that stuff?" Ayame asked me. My only response was a small smile. Ayame cocked an eyebrow at me, inspecting my lips, and then my eyes. She gently placed the cup in its saucer and leaned over the table. "Hotaru?" she lowered her voice so only I can hear.
I shook my head. "Don't."
Ayame frowned but left it at that.
"It's delicious," I said after having tasted the tea, but the truth was I could barely taste anything. Silence fell upon the garden. Kyo didn't seem to be the talkative type as he watched over us. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed another butler approaching, a charming smile on his face. This family certainly had a lot of butlers...
"What's the matter? You look so serious," he commented.
"I always look like this," I replied calmly.
"Itsuka Matsuba at your service. You met Tomoki earlier. Last name's the same," he said cheerfully.
"Brothers, I take it?"
"That's right. Now, how would you two like some freshly baked scones?"
"Scones sound nice, don't you think so, Hotaru?" she asked, a little too cheerfully.
"Thank you," I replied. We were stuck here until my clothes got cleaned so we might as well.
"The strawberry jam is made with organic strawberries from our farm, and the clotted cream from milk from our cows." Was that supposed to impress me? Without responding, I cut open the scone and took a small bite.
"It's very delicious," I said before taking another bite. After eating, I elegantly wiped my mouth with a napkin and glanced at my surroundings. The garden was well taken care of. It was filled with gorgeous flowers and the landscape was really quite breathtaking. "You have a lot of pink flowers and roses here," I noted.
"We're growing them for a celebration," Itsuki replied.
"A celebration?"
"It will be our employer's birthday in a month. And his daughter will be introduced to society on the same day," he explained. It took everything I had not to tremble. Not to react in any negative way. I swallowed.
"Is that so? I'm sure she must be wonderful," I said, keeping the bite I was feeling out of my voice.
"She is. A bit of a diamond in the rough. But that'll make training her all the more worth it." I had to keep myself from barking a laugh, and almost faltered.
"Oh? In my experience, I've found that the rough diamonds are far more valuable than refined ones." I flashed him one of my most dazzling smiles. His eyes widened.
"Oh, how do you figure?" he asked.
"I apologise for not being able to put this more delicately, but in this society, I find these 'refined'," I air quoted the word, "diamonds to be little more than sheep." Itsuki didn't hide his shock at my words, and I smirked ever so slightly. "Of course, I don't blame them. They were raised that way. You know, to follow someone else's orders; someone else's plan for their lives. It's been imprinted on them since the moment they were born and it's all they know. Whereas a diamond in the rough, as you put it, is quite rare in high society, but personally, I find it invigorating. It's like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise suffocating world to meet someone who is willing to against the status quo to do what they believe in. You could even say it's like defying gravity, which, in and of itself is already a very impressive feat." I chuckled. "But, what do I know? I'm just a teenager." I didn't fail to notice Ayame's dubious expression directed at me.
Yet another butler walked up to us, holding my freshly cleaned clothes.
"Sorry I kept you waiting," he said. I had to admit, I was taken aback by how attractive he was. But he had a certain vibe that reminded me of my brother, Eisuke, and that usually only spelt bad things. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yuma Akagi, and I'm the Ichijo family's head butler." Yuma bowed to me.
I smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I would like to apologize for the actions of one of our butlers today," Yuma said.
The corner of my mouth twitched. "I appreciate it. I'm just glad no one was hurt," I added. Yuma nodded.
"Meeting like this was, I think, fate. I hope... that you and I will meet again somewhere." I forced a chuckle as I looked away. If we did, I'd choke all of them. Yuma smiled significantly as he took my hand, then he gently kissed the back of it. The gesture was familiar, but it never got any easier to bear. "You were in the midst of moving. I'll have the limousine take you," he said.
"Thank you," I replied. I quietly watched Yuma give instructions to the other butlers.
After changing my clothes, Ayame and I got into the limo together with Yuma.
Ayame gave me another worried look as she was dropped off. "Hey, um, call me. Okay?"
"Sure." I nodded.
"Again, I am very sorry about today," Yuma said. It seemed like his attention was focused solely on me.
"It's alright."
"How did you find the house?"
"It was gorgeous. Absolutely breath-taking," I replied.
Yuma smiled, brimming with elegance and grace, but I could tell he wasn't actually buying a word I said.
We weren't far from the new apartment when the limousine came to a sudden stop.
"Are you alright?" Yuma's arms were around me, steadying me after the abrupt braking. I felt myself stiffen; my blood ran cold. In a panic, I pushed away from him. "Miss?"
"Sorry, I just don't handle physical contact very well." I shifted uncomfortably.
"I... apologize," Yuma said as he moved away from me. I shook my head.
"It's fine. But is there a problem?" I asked, looking away from him and out the window in an attempt to get rid of the tension in the atmosphere.
"It appears the road narrows up ahead. The car can't continue. This is as far as we can take you," Yuma explained.
"Here is fine. Thanks for bringing me this far."
"Before you go, might I ask how you found our service?" Yuma asked. An odd thing for a butler to ask.
"Oh, your service was superb." I got a sudden idea. "You're definitely on Geo's level."
"Geo?" Yuma asked. The corner of my lips tugged upwards. I got him. Hook, line, and sinker.
"My dad's butler," I replied innocently.
"Your... Dad?"
"Oh! I just realised I never introduced myself. Apologies. I'm just so used to people knowing I am. I'm Hotaru Ichinomiya."
"A pleasure, Miss Ichinomiya." Yuma smiled, but it was forced.
"I know this is probably common knowledge, but my dad, Akira, adopted both me and my brother, Eisuke. You see, my biological father abandoned me and my mother a long time ago."
Yuma's façade almost faltered, and I saw that. I was right; he knew!
"Abandoned?" Yuma asked, almost hesitantly.
"Yep. He didn't even show up for my mother's funeral after she died."
Yuma looked away. "I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps there was a reason he couldn't take care of you?"
I leaned back in my seat. "I don't care."
"You... Don't care?" God, how many more times was he going to feel inclined to make me repeat what I said?
"I don't. No excuse he could have would ever be good enough."
"I'm sure he must love you." I could tell Yuma was choosing his words very carefully without divulging too much information.
"You can't love someone you don't know. I've never even met him. Or talked to him. You see, the way I see it, blood doesn't mean anything. Genetic doesn't mean anything. I'll tell you what does mean something though: When I needed a dad, Akira was there. Akira is my dad. And my so-called father was little more than a sperm donor." Yuma almost choked on his words, and I chuckled. "Not the most delicate choice of words, but it's the truth. The thing is, you don't get to be a dad just because you share DNA. He wasn't there when I needed him the most, and he has no right to take up that role now." Yuma was speechless. "But I'm sorry to dump all of that on you like that. That was really silly and unfair of me. Please, forget I said anything." I made a show of giving a nervous laugh.
"Not at all." Yuma knew I was full of it. And I knew he knew that, but he didn't say anything more.
"Well, it's getting dark. I really should be going."
"Of course." He got out of the car before I did and held the door open for me. I bowed politely to him and turned to leave. I was happy to see the moving truck in front of the building when I finally got there.
"Excuse me. I'm sorry I'm so late. I'm Hotaru Ichinomiya."
"We've brought everything inside. Have a great day, Miss." With that, the movers left. I stood still for a moment and frowned. They brought everything inside? I didn't have to guess how they did that. I had a really bad feeling about this. I just hoped to god I was wrong. I inserted my key and unlocked the door.
"Welcome home, Miss Ichinomiya."
I wasn't wrong...
I was unable to hide my disdain as the butlers bowed their heads gracefully. I slammed the door shut behind me. The composure I put so much effort into keeping all day crumbled in an instant. I stared at them, not saying anything.
"We're here to serve you. Starting today." Aoi said. The butlers brought me slippers. I glared at the slippers, then at them, and crossed my arms.
"Well. I wish I could say I'm surprised," I snapped scornfully. I slipped my shoes off, not bothering with the slippers as I walked into the living room and sat down on my sofa. Resting my elbow on the armrest, I pressed my forefinger against my temple and my thumb beneath my chin. "Well go ahead. Give me the whole speech about why you're here."
Itsuki cleared his throat, uncomfortable. "Do you remember when I mentioned our employer's daughter?" he asked.
"Uh-huh."
"That girl..." Itsuki started, only to have his sentence finished by Tomoki.
"... is you." I didn't respond. "But... you already knew that."
"And that surprises you, how? I have the power, money and resources to do just about anything. You really think I'd go through life being oblivious and naïve without looking into who my father is?"
"You're going to be a sophisticated woman by the time of our employer's birthday," Kyo said. Sophisticated. I could socialise quite well in and I knew how to conduct myself, but there were many in high society who would argue that I wasn't quite "sophisticated" or "traditional" enough. Men in high society liked controlling everything, and I had a reputation for going against the tide. But I've never been bothered by that before and I wasn't about to start now.
"Right. Your employer, Kazuma Ichijo. My so-called father."
"Yes." Aoi smiled. I bet women were putty in his hands with that smile. The stupid ones anyway.
I didn't say anything, and the tension in the air grew ever more palpable. I didn't take my eyes off the butlers either.
As the glaring continued, the front door opened and Mr Head Butler walked in.
"Why, hello there, Miss Ichinomiya," Yuma grinned as he unceremoniously locked the door.
"Oh, great. The cavalry's here," I said sarcastically.
"Yuma, she knows," Aoi said.
Yuma grinned. It was a sinister grin; the same one Eisuke got whenever he was plotting something. "I figured as much. Everything you said in the limo... You knew all along who Mr Ichijo is."
"What did she say in the limo?" Itsuki asked, curiously.
I snorted. "Believe me, if I'd known you were Ichijo butlers before I got in that limo, I never would have accepted your half-assed offer. But then again, something tells me whether I accepted it or not, we'd still all be here right now."
"Enough. I cannot allow and Ichijo to utter such vulgar words," Tomoki said with a scowl.
I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Oh yes? Try and stop me, four-eyes."
His scowl turned into an expression of both shock and offence.
"Well as fun as this has been, everybody out. Before I report you for break in and entering."
"I didn't expect you'd treat us like crooks. Not when you're the one violating your lease." Yuma held out a piece of paper.
I snatched the paper from his hand and skimmed through the contract until my eyes stopped at a particular 'special feature'. "Personal butler?" I read out loud. And right at the bottom was Akira's signature. My dad wasn't stupid. No way would he have signed this without checking every detail and have the family lawyer go over it for emphasis. Which could only mean he knew about this and didn't tell me.
"We had you come to the house to make the idea more palatable," Aoi said.
"Yes, yes. You set me up. I figured that out hours ago." I got up. "I don't believe this," I mumbled as I grabbed my phone and went into my room. I slammed the door shut and furiously dialled my dad's number.
"Yes?" He didn't look at the caller ID before answering.
"Hi, Dad. It's me," I said in a voice so sweet it sounded sickening even to me.
"Hotaru! I was going to call you in the morning. Have you settled in?" he asked.
"Yes, about that... Did the lease for my new apartment perhaps come with a tiny detail you forgot to mention?" I spoke through clenched teeth.
"The lease?" Akira remained silent for a few moments as he thought. "Oh! You must be talking about the butler service. It was a special they had just for your apartment. I figured having a butler would make your life a little easier."
My eyebrow twitched as I closed my eyes in exasperation. "So you did know about it."
"Of course. You think I'd sign something like that without thoroughly checking every word on it?"
"And you didn't think to warn me about it?" I breathed.
Akira paused. "You're upset..."
"Damn right I'm upset! Dad, you've been duped!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Those butlers! I wouldn't be surprised if they disguised themselves as real estate agents. They probably played on your worry as my dad, too."
"Hotaru, you're not making any sense."
"They're Ichijo butlers! They orchestrated this whole thing! The apartment, the lease, the butler service. All of it! All so they could, and I quote, 'turn me into a sophisticated woman' for his birthday party."
I heard Akira breathe hard over the receiver in an attempt to maintain his composure. "I'm calling Yuzuru."
"What's he going to do? They're practically untouchable, and not because they work for Ichijo. They planned everything to the finest detail and slipped through all the right loopholes. Everything on the lease is legal and you knew about the butler service when you signed it, so we can't even sue them for not explaining certain details on the contract. There's nothing we can do."
Akira paused. "You're right. But there's nothing on the lease about you following their rules. No conditions about you taking any kind of lessons from them. I doubt I need to tell you this, but you don't dance to the sound of their pipes. You dance to yours."
I smirked, relaxing a bit. "You know it, Daddy."
"Good. I'll call you tomorrow. Love you." I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Love you, too."
I took a deep breath before opening my door. Of course they were still there, and they likely heard every word I said to my dad, too. I took one annoyed look at them and moved to the kitchen.
"All sorted out?" Yuma asked sarcastically as he followed me into the kitchen.
"Why bother asking when you heard my entire conversation," I retorted.
There was a moment of silence before Yuma doubled over with laughter.
"I think this will be very interesting indeed," he said as he looked at me with amusement.
I didn't bother responding as I put the kettle on; nothing good could possibly come from interacting with him. I turned around and leaned against the kitchen counter, crossing my arms over my chest.
Yuma's sinister smile returned. I raised my eyebrows in a motion for him to get to the point.
"All you have to do is accept our training on behalf of our dear employer. It's only a month," Itsuki said.
My eyes flitted to him. "No," I said flatly before turning my back to them.
"You had etiquette lessons, but we need to make doubly sure you didn't miss anything. Not to mention kick that flighty nature of yours. Otherwise, you'd just be an embarrassment," Yuma replied with a broad smile.
I barked a laugh. "Wow. That is just hilarious." I turned back to him. "I already told you how I feel about him. And I know you know I meant every word. But just in case you're still processing, allow me to break it down for you. I can barely stomach the thought of breathing the same air as your oh-so-wonderful employer. He can go fuck himself for all I care. And you would be damn lucky if I decided not to embarrass him and his company on purpose, which, by the way, I'm still undecided on." Tomoki opened his mouth to say something. I pointed my finger at him without looking at him. "You say one word about my language, I swear to god I will punch you."
Yuma sighed, exasperated. "How you feel about him doesn't matter. We made a promise to him and we intend to keep it."
I snorted. "Good luck with that." I turned back to the now boiled kettle and prepared some camomile tea. God knows I needed it.
"Alright, it's time you choose," Yuma said. I could hear the amused smirk in his voice.
"Oh, I get a choice, do I?" I retorted.
"Who would you like to be your butler?" Aoi asked.

Do you mind talking about your Blind Oracle? She looks very interesting and beautiful!! I really love her design!!! 🥺🙏
Ok so first of all @cringeyvanillamilk @one-leaf-grimoire @shinyshammie cuz you all seemed interested in the OC of mine. Sooo.... *looks over at like 30 pages of written text for BO’s backstory and pet guides* I’ll start with most basic things, in a short list so that you can choose whenever to read all of this or just the summary.  Also Thank you for the name suggestions, they’re really fun and I had Lilith in there as well, but for like a slightly different meaning of the name. Name used by her: ‘Oracle’[after getting her grimoire], Thana Nickname given by Nozel, as she said she wasn’t given a name upon birth: Gulisa, and later Libi Full name: Lilith Razili Graddfa'r Ddraig Title: Blind Oracle Status: Of well respected Diamond’s Kingdom noble familly DOB: 20th of April Gender: Female Pronouns: She/Her Sexuality: [???] she might be ace, but that’s due to a trauma, still questioning Height: 164cm / ~5′4 feet Weight: 54kg / ~119 lb Eye colour: Deep forest Green -green that goes into grey’ish colour spectrum the farther from the center Hair lenght and colour: Long -while down they get past her shoulder blades, longest part goes till her waist- Dark brown with highlights [of slight reddish tones] Skin colour: Delicate carmely tan [typical Central EU skin tone] Special marks/scars: has lots of little scars on her arms and upper back, her eyes have a visible markings on the irises [will include pic later] Magic affinity/magic’s name[as the one written in the grimoire]: Light / Fallen Luster Magic type: Supportive summonings Favourites: food- fresh fruits, ice minties, a big meaty meal, mint ice cream drinks- fruit juice[apple and orange juices], water with frozen lemon/grapes and mint dos- hum melodies, take long walks with her companion[s], experiment with her eyes, making things for her pets and/or others dear to her don’ts- arguing, being descriminated, being in big crowds, having others play heroes for her [i.e. pretend there are robbers nearby and shove her inside an alley to ‘protect her’] Magic Knight Squad: She’s blind so she’s not that confident to get herself into this bussines Race: Half dragon (don’t @ me, you gave me this idea guys, you know where this came from) Personality: kind and shy pesimist, who always looks at the worst possible scenario to be prepared for anything she can think of. Known pets of hers : Emrys - an aftereffect of her father’s experiment, was with her from her 3rd birthday till May5th after her 18th birthday. Unidentified under-race of, what everyone assumed was, a wolf and fox mix, with low nobility mana levels, allowing him to use few ‘spells’ of flower magic. His favourite flower was a Pond Lily, and he loved to snack on freshly cought fishes. Died on May 5th. [need to finish his visuals, tho he’s inspired by a pet in a browser game Eldarya write down ‘Eldarya Rowtsya’ into google and this is really close to what Emrys look[ed] like] Mer - foundling Crystal Eagle of Oracle. He dropped out of a nest on top of a tree under which the girl was resting. He was a little hatchling then, not more than 2 weeks old, the smell of chocolate cookie brought him to such a brave act. Mer was too small to fly back up ot the nest, also Oracle hadn’t noticed that he’s an eagle untill about a month after he joined her on the adventure, and moved on right after giving him the rest of her cookie, making the smol birdie confused as he was never that far away form his nest and decided to stick to her. Mostly because she still got more cookies to feed him. He’s a little grumpy, but he helps her getting around on her travels. He loves chocolate cookies, corn, and ice minties. He’s getting mad really easily, while mad will refuse to eat and fly, instead will be stompin’ angrily on the ground so Oracle will hear him being mad. Meanings of names: Lilith - night monster, monster mother; also believed to be the name of first wife of Adam, a succub that brought fear to little children and pregnant ladies Razili - of Hebrew’s origins meaning ‘Lord’s secret’ Graddfa'r Ddraig - that’s just her father attempt to act human. ‘Dragon Scale’ in Welsh. Due to her mother’s pasing she wasn’t allowed to wear the noble familly name. Gulisa - Little[as in Weak] Heart [Georgian’s origins] Libi - My heart [Hebrew’s origins] Thana - Arabic name meaning ‘Death’ So the backstory goes a little like this: Lilith was taken out of her mother’s dead body about 2h after her death and put into the coffin on her mother’s chest as she was a silent one and not one of servants believed she’d still be alive. Her father was the one to react to her cries and open up the coffin to see his daughter trying to feed herself but getting nothing above few droplets of blood from now uncovered breasts. This caused her to be of a weak heart and health in general, would scratch easily, get exhausted from simple tasks... The father[a dragon and an idiot when it comes to human interactions] somewhat took care of her, not knowing what to do with babies he just stuck to giving her bottles with milk whenever she cried and if that didn’t work get a servant to change her daiper. Her real name was never used inside the castle, her father was using her [draconic version of] middle name or ‘shortenings’- he meant sweetheart but was saying weakheart, meant sweetie when saying hatchilng, you get the point- as everyone took her as a sign and incarnation of missfortune and death, thus called her Thana instead. Their explanation was that no child would be still alive while it’s own twin[brother] was born already half eaten by pests and parasites, and mother having her heart rotten due to a sickness. Last time she saw her father was around her 3rd birthday, month after that he was never seen by her, but they did met a few more times after Lilith was made blind. For years she was left to herself, only cared for in ways of giving her some food and preparing baths and clothes to wear. She wasn’t allowed to study things other than law and the ways of beautiful speach, yet she loved music. She missed her father dearly, but Emrys took up his place greatly, cuddling up to her whenever she was scared, hurt or cold. Her magic started showing around her 5th birthday and since then the elders started getting a bit suspicious. All was going normal, everyday lessons of law and how to speak in front of politicians, break for a meal, then the rest spent with Emrys on a walk around the gardens or in a library stealthy listening to the music lessons on the upper floors. Upon the day of her 15th birthday the elders took her to old ruins, where they marked her eyes with a ‘new emblem’ that was supposed to start a rebelius movement to throw the king from his throne, but after seeing Lilith crashing down with tears of blood and a new moon forming upon the sky they flew away in fear, leaving her there, unnecessarily taking away her sight from her. As the moon started forming, crimson fog hugged the dying girl, a single string of shimmering mana started leading the fog into the noble family castle. Before reaching the gates the unidentified experiment rushed into it and the fog moved back, leaving the castle alone for this day.  Emrys cuddled up to her and covered her with his own mana, focusing on her bloodshot eyes. The fog began cleansing itself, becoming shimmery, as if stardust created it. It later formed her grimoire, the book that would once be called Last Hope, as it’s light was powerful in means of healing and defending, but never there to harm, yet it’s magic was tricky and therefore never the same, no more was it to pleasantly sit back and observe the battle. There was a small peasant village near those ruins, they saw the great light and weird creatures, small circular beings surrounded by silvery feathers and hoops, and some creatures looked like those of stories of old times, the biggest shimmering creature resembled Pan, the great horror of forests. All the creatures dissapeared within a minute and peasants rushed to the ruins. Seeing the young girl in shambled yet definetly expensive clothing and tears of blood streaming down her face they called to her “Oracle! Oh great Blind Oracle! Send upon us a blessing of rain” and so her grimoire started glowing and send upon them the first spell “Moribound wish” which brought the clouds and flooded the noble castles of Diamond Kingdom for whole month. The people heard about an Oracle in old ruins and began coming to her, offering food and crops for a blessing or a prophecy. Her spell was limited, she oculdn’t use it however she wanted, and it called for rest quite often, so people became impatient, rude, envy of such power and ‘luxurious life’ of Oracle. Oracle was inside the ruins for more than 2 years, yet less than 4, she could never tell the time by herself, she always relayed on the good hearted people to tell her what time of the year it was.  Few peasants told the nobles about mysterious Oracle and the blessings she was able to perform- healing some of the elders, bringing rain and storms, and they decided to take her for their own happines. They took her from the ruins on May 5th, after a small battle that she decided to put against them, they killed Emrys as he tried to help her, and put Lilith inside the cage, forced a mask upon her face so they wouldn’t have to see the markings which some of the nobles recognised as the sign of rebelion. After half a year they got bored of her ‘miracles’ and let her go into the wild. She was somehow able to get into Clover Kingdom, her mask easily telling others that something was wrong with her.  But the little bird on her arm was an easy distraction, especialy with how many children would pile up just to be able to pet him or give him some food, so she was able to steal some food from the stands and sometimes money to survive living under the sky. One day she unfortunately tried to rob a Magic Knight Captain, of course not knowing who he was or what a Magic Knight was before that. Nozel Silva was his name, she made a note to remeber that name and upon hearing her explain why she tried to steal from him he actualy took great interest in her story. After a small series of questions which she answered truthfuly, greateful he wasn’t going to put her to jail, He made a decision to let her stay for a week in Silver Eagle HQ where she was able to create few little artifacts helpful in dungeons and unknown areas as well as develop a spell that allowed her to regain sight for a brief moment of 4 minutes. During the week he called her Gulisa, as she told she wasn’t given a name upon birth, and if she was it was long forgotten. Gulisa later turned to Libi which confused the girl, upon asking why he changed his mind he said that it may suit her better, but he’d still prefer to know her true name. Thanks to Nozel’s help she was able to gain money and buy herself a small house which the members of SE often visit after missions in which they found  new artifacts. Often times while practising her magic she’d find a dungeon and explore it with Mer. Few times while in Raquey she was stopped by some male who always asked her for a tea, and would tell her stories about folk-tale creatures, guardians of forests, oceans, skies and mountains, the devils and angels, the dragons and their homes of treasures. He presented himself by name ‘Lonan’ yet seems unsure each time he brings the name up, as if hesitating. He’d always pay for the tea and dessert and leave a package with crystals and some metal parts she’d been looking for. She still travels, but mostly around the borders of Clover and Heart Kingdoms. Searching for new artefacts that could maybe, just maybe, help her regain her sight. “The fact I’ve gotten used to being blind doesn’t mean I don’t want to see someone that I have but meet” “You have your spells don’t you?” “But they don’t allow me to see how I used to. Back then I saw people smiling, now when i use my spell you’re always frowning...” And that would be a brief summary of my OC. *Looks over at the pile of papers* Have I forgotten about something? EDIT: Forgot to add: She can’t fully see by using her spells, they allow her to see the basic outlines and few colours, they depend on her mood and levels of mana she got left, so she’s going blind 99% of time. Her mask was put onto her forcefuly and she was unable to take it down before going to Clover Kingdom. The nobles put her into the half-face mask and stiched it to her face, and she started wearing the ‘butterfly’ one after meeting with Nozel, it was first artifact she made in SE’s HQ. She knew the meaning of name Thana and that’s why she didn’t use it when she was free of elders’ will. Also I might need your opinion on this @thespiralgrimoire

Howdy lovely! I am 5’6 straight female who loves sleeping. If I didn’t have to get for school I would but I do and I am a pretty diligent student. I’m open minded to anything as long as there is some line of direction. I’m a very corny person with the worst jokes imaginable and I love making people smile. Despite that I always voice my insecurities and place to much pressure on myself and think I’m shitty at everything. I am a very caring person and I give my friends 1/2
Good advice but never to take my own. I go to ridiculous feats to lose weight that aren’t healthy because I don’t think I look the greatest. I can be alone with my thought for to long because I am pessimistic but I lie to myself and say that I’m being honest with how I am. I can’t take a compliment and I just feel worthless at times. But when it boils down to it I love to draw, song and cook (mostly self taught) Lazy days are my favorite and cuddling is nice too. Thanks bb❤️🥰
Agh!! So sorry this is so late! But here we are, finally! I hope you like this!
I think you would be good with…
Tumblr media
Mirio!
You seem to me as someone who would cause curiosity in Mirio with your horrible jokes and lovely attitude. You guys would hit it off and honestly have such a good time together.
Mirio would be able to help you with lifting the pressure you put on yourself. Just like you, he has his own insecurities, but he laughs them off. He’ll probably brush this off onto you, but I know there’ll be times where you’ll both just sit down and talk about what’s worrying you. You’ll be just talking about every worry you have while he plays with your hair, his strong arms wrapped around your waist.
Mirio is the best cheerleader! He’d try his best to lift your self-esteem, and he’s so patient, taking each step to confidence with you. Going on dates, lord have mercy. He’d use every cheesy pick-up line to make you laugh and blush. That is, if manages to stop blushing himself at how gorgeous you are. I canon that in front of his lover, he’s the most flustered thing ever, and he’d just drink in your ethereal aura and whisper “You look beautiful, sweetheart.”
Please cook for him. Mans doesn’t care whatever it is or how it tastes, Mirio just adores the thought of his s/o wearing a cute apron and cooking him a pancake. It makes his heart swell with joy.
I also feel like you’d get on well with Nejire and Tamaki! Nejire seems like someone who you’d be pretty friendly with, and I think you could reach Tamaki on a more empathetic level. I also think Nejire would be someone who would help turn your self-doubt into confidence given her love for fashion/beauty, so she’d always reassure you that your figure is PERFECT! She’ll go shopping with you and get you a dress that’ll make Mirio’s jaw drop onto the floor.
I think it’s amazing that you’re open-minded, because I know Mirio would want to take you to a waterfall, up mountains, to a coffee shop, go-karting, anything and everything that sounds romantic or fun, you’ll find yourselves going there on a date.
A date with Mirio
“Wake up, Sunshine!”
It was a gorgeous Sunday morning, perfect for sleeping in and being lazy. You were having a dream about the most delicious food you’ve smelt in your life. It was about to go into your mouth when Mirio decided to wake you up.
Your eyes open lazily, hazed irises glancing over to the clock.
Seven am.
It was too fucking early for this.
You close back your eyes, hoping that if you thought about it hard enough, that you’d be sent back to your wonderful dream. Those glorious fries would still be there and you’d be able to drink that thick milkshake you ordered. There was a shuffle in the bedsheets beside you, you could feel his body hovering above yours.
“Not waking up?”
He trailed his fingers along your back, tracing your spine delicately. The feeling sends shudders up your spine, you writhe at his touch. He laughs.
“Come on, I’ll make breakfast!”
An enticing thought indeed, it almost made you want to get up. Enthusiasm on almost.
“Mirio, it’s only seven.” You yawn, tongue sticking to the roof of your mouth. “Wake me up in like five hours.”
“It’d by time for lunch by then!”
“Yeah, that’s the point.”
He sighs, you could practically see the lopsided smile on his face behind your eyelids.
“So you’re gonna be like that huh?”
You felt his weight lift from the bed, footsteps sounding farther and farther away. You felt a little guilty at not getting up, but your fuzzy mind was desperate to get back into dreamland that you knock out straight-away. The fries you remembered seeing smelled even better than before. The milkshake you dreamed of had hardly any condensation on the glass that contained it. You take a fry, about to taste the aromatic sea-salt that was sprinkled oh so delicately upon the chips. You breathe in deeply, imagining the sea. The waves crash around you, the briny sea air flooding your nostrils. You could even feel the sea spray its water on your fa-
You splutter, waking up from your peaceful slumber to Mirio spraying you with water. When you glare at him, he gives you his heartwarming smile.
“I had no choice! Your waffles would get cold!”
Your ears perk at the mention of food, immediately sitting up. “Waffles? Uh, next time just say so!”
“Well, you were so stubborn I couldn’t really-“
You throw yourself at him, interrupting him mid-sentence. It knocks the air out of his lungs, but he embraces you all the same.
“I love you-”
He was about to reply, but you speak again.
“-for making me waffles.”
You laugh as he huffs playfully, poking your side.
“Jokingggg!~” You kiss his cheek. “I love you even without the waffles.”
Those three words roll off your tongue quite nicely at this point. It would be weird if they didn’t, given that you guys had been together for about four years now. You both graduated from high school recently, if you could call about two years recent. Both of you started college together, renting out an apartment with Nejire and Tamaki. Life was fun, but since your quirk wasn’t exactly needed in the hero field and Mirio was… Mirio, you both had the apartment to yourselves as the other two went on patrols or missions. At first, Mirio kept making you go on hikes or just doing something outside. You obliged, knowing how much he was itching to be somewhere else but lazing about at home, but after a while, even with Mirio’s peppy attitude cheering you on, you got exhausted. You were not one to go for long treks in nature parks or walking up mountains with a heavy ass backpack, you just wanted to stay home and practice some anatomy (you still haven’t got a hang on hands just yet).
You never really complained, but Mirio already knew you were tired. The activities would become fortnightly instead of weekly, then monthly, which you minded a lot less. You didn’t even notice it at first, but it was quite considerate of your boyfriend to put your desires first before his. Thing was though, it always made you feel a little guilty.
Thus, you tried to put your all when the days for those walks came.
You stretch your arms to the ceiling, hearing your back crack at the movement. Splashing a bit of water onto your face to wake up, you make your way to the kitchen, the tantalising smell of hot waffles making your mouth water. A scoop of vanilla ice-cream sat upon the fluffy delight, the cold dessert melting into the little squares. Though you liked nothing more than a good waffle, you push the ice cream off the waffle, eating it with only bits of ice-cream. You didn’t need to put any weight after all.
Mirio observed this, a frown sitting on his lips.
“Hey, we’re going for quite a bit,” he places a hand on the small of your back, a soft kiss planted on your head, “I put that ice-cream so you’d have enough sugar to get you through it.”
You scoff, smirking. “What, you think I’m that weak?”
He arches an eyebrow, amusement glinting in his eyes for a small moment. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
A sigh leaves you. “It’s fine Miri. Just take my ice-cream will you?” You smile. “I don’t want it to go to waste.”
Not one to say no to the sugary treat, he takes a small bit of your scoop.
“There, eat the rest, or I’ll feed you it.”
Your cheeks flush. “Th-that’s-“
A spoonful of vanilla ice-cream gets pushed into your mouth, startling you. The creamy substance dribbles a little down your chin as you reluctantly swallow. Wiping your mouth with a tissue, Mirio grins.
“Want me to continue?”
Even though you could feel your whole face turning crimson red, you couldn’t say you didn’t like being fed. It reminded you of the times when you cooked lunch or dinner, and you asked him to taste test. You’d hold a spoon or fork to his lips, and the joy he got from your cooking made your whole day ten times better. You wondered if that’s what he was feeling right now.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
So for a while, Mirio was spoon-feeding you your breakfast. You took over after a minute or so though, finding the whole thing really embarrassing.
With your stomach full and your sugar buzz coming in, you got up to do the dishes while Mirio checked everything was locked before the both of you left for your walk.
Today, you were going for a stroll through Kyoto’s botanical garden. It was quite a contrast to your normal hikes, but Mirio saw you drawing flowers in your notebook the other day. The goofy dork took that as a sign to take you to a place with an absolute myriad of references blooming everywhere.
You hum quietly as you wash the plates, head bobbing to an imaginary beat. You hear Mirio’s feet pad against the tatami floors, getting closer and closer until your felt his strong arms around your waist, nose tickling the crook of your neck.
“Thanks for being wonderful.” He mumbles, pressing a kiss to your jaw. You laugh.
“I’m not even doing anything. If anything, I should be thanking you.”
He scrunches his eyebrows together. “That isn’t true. You work hard, you come with me on all these walks even though I know you’d rather not, but I selfishly make you go, you make sure I’m laughing when I feel down, there’s so much you do for me sunshine.”
You open your mouth to talk back, but he presses his lips to yours, silencing you.
“You’re wonderful. Absolutely and gorgeously wonderful. If you ever think different, I’ll make sure to tell you whenever I get the chance,” he kisses you again, “and that chance so happens to be right now.”
Your heart thumps against your ribcage. The universe really blessed you with this one. It takes you almost everything to not just sob with gratitude.
“I love you.”
“I love you too, sunshine.”

Gold Champagne Bubbles
Ketch x Reader
Synopsis: It’s the restaurant from your first date. It’s date night. It all goes so very wrong
NOTE: Kind of rushed this one, so I’m really sorry if it feels disjointed and is kind of trash. 
REQUESTED
MASTERLIST  (PART ONE)
It’s the restaurant from your first date.
You don’t know how Ketch still remembers it, because it’s barely a blur in your memory - the half-forgotten whispered love confessions, the smell of romance and hot food. But you recognise it. You recognised it the moment Ketch parked the car.
You squeeze his arm, beaming up at him. You don’t really know how to vocally express what you’re trying to say, but that’s okay because you and Ketch have always communicated through your bodies. That’s why your grin widens when Ketch relaxes a fraction. 
You get settled in at your table, taking the offered menus with a nod and a thank you.
“I love you,” you say as you’re looking over the menu. You know what you’re getting, but you’re nervous and your stomach is twisting and you just have to make noise.
Ketch hums lightly. “I can’t tell if that’s to me, or something on the menu. I’m not sure they serve ‘I love you’ here.”
You kick him. He laughs. “You know that’s not what I meant,” you say, flushing as attention from other tables intensifies. Right. High profile restaurant. Don’t dick-kick your boyfriend. Right. Being proper and well-behaved just takes all the fun out of everything.
Ketch sets his menu down by yours, his smile warm and soft. It’s when he’s like this that you realise how far in love with him you are. Here, when it’s just you two and nothing else. No ‘business’ to take care of. No masks. It’s just you and Ketch. Just a boy and a girl on a date.
And then his phone rings.
Disappointment sits heavy in your stomach as you watch Ketch’s face darken. He opens his mouth to explain, but you wave him off. You know that look. That’s the ‘secret business’ face. You hate that face. “Just answer it,” you sigh. “I’ll order for you.”
Ketch nods and stands up, pressing a chaste kiss to the side of your head before hurrying outside to take his call in private. 
You flag a waiter, some young thing with mousy brown hair and a nervous smile. His name tag reads Kyle. “Hi.” You smile politely at him. “I’d like to order for me and my partner.”
He nods, eyes flicking over to the empty seat. “Would you like me to hold your order until he returns?”
You purse your lips, glancing out the window in an attempt to track down your absent boyfriend. You fail at finding him, so you just shake your head. Ketch can have cold food. Serves him right for working on date night. “No,” you say. “It’s okay. He’ll have fish and chips, if you please, with an extra serving of salad. I’ll just have your garden salad.”
The waiter writes it down, lip pinned between his teeth in concentration. You hum. Must be new.
You take a long drink of your water, frowning down at the table. You’d pushed past your insecurities for this. You hadn’t wanted to wear the dress, but you’d promised Ketch you’d try. Look where trying had gotten you. Alone at a table for two, ordering for an absentee boyfriend. You’d had to order on your own. 
That’s a lot to deal with when Ketch isn’t around. Even a salad is almost too much for you. You can picture it now. Eating too much and having the dress stretch and distort until you looked like a swollen elephant. This had been a bad idea.
You finish the glass of water. It’s not until you’re reaching for the jug for a refill that the dizziness hits you, and it hits you hard. Your hand falters in the air, and the rooms dips and twirls away, the colour blending together in some ombre display that doesn’t make sense.
Drugged, you realise. Someone drugged the water.
You sway in your seat, feeling as though you’re falling through the ground. You groan, low and guttural, and a hand grips your elbow. “Ketch?” You garble, trying to peer at the person through the kaleidoscope lense your eyes are looking through.
“Ma’am? Are you feeling okay?”
Ah okay. Not Ketch. No, it must the young waiter from earlier. Kyle or Kevin or something. Mm, his name sounds like Ketch’s. “Dizzy,” you murmur, voice slurred. You’re so very tired. 
Someone helps you from your chair, and then you’re walking and the world falls away and all you’re really aware of is Ketch hadn’t come back to the table and his food is going to be cold. Nobody likes cold fish and chips.
.
When you wake up, you throw up right beside yourself. 
It burns like a bitch, and your dress is most likely ruined, but you’re far more focused on the pounding headache that’s plaguing you. God, how much had you drank?
“Good morning dearest,” a voice croons from the darkness.
You move to stand up but stop short. There are manacles around your wrist - actual old-style manacles from some obscure time period in history. You frown down at them, and you tug and tug and tug, but all you achieve is a resonating pain in your wrists that thumps in time to the headache that in turn thumps with your heartbeat. You’re a mess of time signatures and painful melodies.
“You drugged me,” you say, and it’s an accusation. It won’t do much, but it’s one of the only things you understand with any sense of coherence, so you cling to it anyway. “Why me?”
The voice shifts - something slithers through the shadows. “It was supposed to be your hunter partner,” the thing sneers. “But he left, and I had to settle for you instead. Not a fun time, I must say. Even with super strength, I struggled to get you here.”
Shame burns in your belly, hot and ugly. How silly it is to feel ashamed for being kidnapped, but this thing is saying the same things you’ve heard for your whole life. Being too fat, too heavy, too big for any sort of convenience. “Sorry,” you say meekly, settling back onto the ground. No point in moving much. It’s not like you can run very far, or very fast.
The thing huffs. “I’ve never really liked big girls. If I was hunting normally, I would have steered clear from you, but I really need to kill your boyfriend so I figured sacrifices could be made.”
“Ketch?” You raise an eyebrow. “Are you aware he’s part of the British Men of Letters? He’ll kick your ass.”
“He’ll have to catch me first.”
...Isn’t that the point of having bait? To lure the person to you? You let out a breath. You’ll never understand monster logic. 
Too bad Ketch still thinks you had no idea about his ‘job’. He might’ve been able to give you pointers on what to do. Ah alas, he still believes you’re some innocent maiden who knows nothing about the things that go bump in the night.
How joyful your life is.
.
It’s sudden, the shift in mood, in tension.
“He’s here,” the thing breathes, and then there are gunshots and someone screams, and Ketch starts yelling and then you’re crying because this is supposed to be date night and you really just want to go home.
Your head hurts, and your arms are sore, and you feel fat and disgusting and dirty. “Ketch?” You say, and your voice trembles.
Your boyfriend pulls you into his arms. “Hey honey,” he breathes. “I’m so glad you’re safe.”
“Apparently I’m too fat to bother with. It didn’t hurt me. Good thing I’m dating one of the British Men of Letters. Don’t think I would’ve gotten out of that one if you hadn’t been a hunter.”
Ketch freezes. “Ah-”
You huff into his suit jacket. “You owe me so many fucking ice creams for this you lying bastard.”
But then you kiss him, because he loves you and you love him and you’re very tired and cold. Ketch doesn’t sweep you off your feet, and it hurts something in your chest, but he drapes his jacket over your shoulders and he drives you home and he runs you a bath.
He loves you.
He loves you.
He loves you.

The summertime of our lives, 1/?
Volume: 1.
Number of parts: 1/?.
Pairings: Ninetoo x Rose.
A/N: Written for @doctorroseprompts summer bingo. Five summer-themed words: Ice-cream, Beach, Swim, Boat, Surprise (BINGO!). Tagging @thebookster on her demand.
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” - William Shakespeare.
CHAPTER 1:
The last few months had been hard for him. He had had to get used to this new condition. The half human part of him was bothering him a lot because it felt like a regression. One day, he was a superior being; the next day, he was an ordinary human with all the inconveniences it caused: too cold in winter – he almost went in hypothermia because he stayed too long in the snow without warm clothes – too hot when the temperatures were climbing, easily sick – first and last time he was getting a damn flu! Everything was wrong in the body of a human and he was thanking Gallifrey, Rassilon and all the stars of the galaxy for his Time Lord side. He was cleverer than normal but the silence in his head was unbearable. It was worse than after the war. Back then, he had the TARDIS. She was filling the holes, filling the silence. A silence that had driven him mad. At first, he had hidden it from Rose, from her family. She had a job, had her habits, her routine. He was staying home alone, pacing around, pulling on the little hair he had. He suffered from panic attacks, hurt himself. Once, he harmed himself so badly that Rose had to take him to Torchwood to have him healed properly without questions. After that, he had told her the truth. She was staying home with him and sitting on the couch, his head on her lap. She would stroke her temple and speak or read to him for hours. When she couldn’t be home, she recorded her voice on a music device and he would listen to it until the battery died and he was left with nothing but the silence. He had quickly learnt how to use the television and watched the worst filths that could air until Rose came home and found him sprawled on the couch. He had had to find something else, something that would keep him busy, that would soothe his mind. He tried sports – after nine centuries of running, staying home and doing nothing had him losing his nice shape – small jobs – but they all threw him out when he proved to be more intelligent than everyone – walks around a town he didn’t recognise. He inexplicably got his driving licence, babysat, helped people in the streets, played music, invented new scientific theories but nothing was really working. It was only temporary. Until he found out about gardening: diving his hands in earth, holding the tiny seeds, planting them, watering them, watching until they blossomed. Rose found him several times at night, covered in mud, observing the small stems and leaves. She would come to him and force him out of the garden and in the shower. Torchwood had provided him with a brand new identity. A human identity. He was named Maxence Spitz and was born on February 16, 1982. Which was a total lie. He was much older. But he was going with it. As long as Rose kept calling him Doctor, he wasn’t too confused. Having a real name was easier when you had to live a human life. It was harder than a thought it was. He used to be afraid of many things as a Time Lord. These fears he had often mocked Rose and Martha and Donna about were his now and that was absolutely terrific. He couldn’t reason his mind. Whenever he tried thinking about something else, he was always coming back to this particular thought. Rose said that winter tended to sadden people and that summer would fix it all. But summer was taking all its time to come and the Doctor was desperate for these better days to come. What he hadn’t been told was that summer was only a season. It wasn’t three months of just wandering around and enjoying life. Rose only had a couple weeks of holidays and that frustrated him to be forced to stay home while she was working for them to be able to live properly without Pete’s help. Money ruled the world, no matter the universe you were in and he had none. This was really getting to him and nothing could take away the weight of hi unworthiness that was a little heavier every day. ‘You can’t stay like this,’ had declared Rose after finding him once again slouched on the couch. He didn’t know what she meant until she started taking him with her everywhere like he was her lapdog and he didn’t like that very much. He quickly rebelled against her and refused to do that ever again. This was their first and biggest argument. An argument where he unleashed all his rage, his resentment, his frustration, his pain. And she took it all square in the face. It wasn’t what he wanted and he hated him himself even more when she silently passed the door and left their flat, left him alone to deal with his stupidity, to deal with this anger he had always had in him, with his loath. What was he supposed to do with that? What was he supposed to do with himself? He totally let himself go. He spent his time pacing around the couch for hours and barely slept. Eating, drinking, showering weren’t his main priorities. He was more resistant than an ordinary human but such a treatment wasn’t good, even for a half Time Lord and so, he ended up with hallucinations, dizziness and constant nausea. And when Rose came back home, she found him crazed and sprawled on the couch. It took him a couple days to get better and all this time, she was watching over him and taking care of him. It was as if they never fought that day. It was like one of those days in the beginning of their life together here. Simple, quiet, perfect. He was in bed, cursing himself and his stupid behaviour and she was sitting beside him, his head on her lap, her hand stroking his temple as she sang a song he didn’t know at all. She dropped a kiss on his forehead. “I’ve taken a leave. I’m staying with you until the end of it. Pete’s okay with that.” “Why do you do that?” She just smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She continued her strokes on his temple. It felt good, good enough for him to relax and close his eyes. Only a couple of minutes. That was a fact that was bothering him a lot: being half human resulted in him needing more sleep. As a Time Lord, he only needed one hour of sleep here and there whenever he felt like to. Now he needed a couple hours of sleep every day. Less than a human but it was a loss of time in his opinion. Something else that was also very human caused him to wake up suddenly: hunger. He was hungry all the bloody time and was putting on weight. A little bit but that was enough for him to notice it. The smell he woke up to wasn’t gonna help him with that. A whole lunch was waiting for him on the bedside table. His eyes, however, caught sight of something much more interesting. Suitcases. Closed suitcases that seemed very, very full. And one of them, there was a bettered leather jacket. He swallowed the lump in his throat. This was the last piece of his life as a Time Lord. The old jacket he was wearing as a shield against everything and everyone that could get too close to him, that could hurt him more. That other Doctor… he had handed it to him before disappearing. That pretty boy Rose would have preferred finishing her life with instead of him. He had never worn that jacket ever since. It was laying around on a coat hanger in a wardrobe he was not even opening. He had put it as far from him as he could. He didn’t want to see for it reminded him too much of his past as a traveller, of everything he had lost. He was still not ready to wear it again. Unless… Could those suitcases be for Rose? She said she had taken a leave, that she would stay with him but… what if she had decided to leave in the end? After all, he had never been the one she wanted. He sat up slowly. A few hours of sleep had done him lots of good but he wasn’t well enough to do much. He needed food and water but he was too stubborn to cooperate when his girlfriend was about to leave him! He awkwardly stood up and reeled to the bathroom. He rinsed his face and carefully avoided his reflection in the small mirror hung above the sink. He looked as terrible as he felt. No need to confirm that theory. He turned his back on the mirror and sighed. He ignored if he could go back to the room. Probably. He felt stable enough to walk despite his weakness. He reached the door, leant on it a couple seconds. Rose was in the room. She was adding stuff on the suitcases in neat piles. Stuff that belonged to her but also to him. Luggage for them. What was she up to? He said nothing but gripped the frame of the door. He had to eat something, to send some sugar in his veins. “Don’t stay there. Come over and have a bite.” She pointed to the food before opening a suitcase – her – and stuffing it with what she had brought. He reeled to the bed and let himself fall there. He swallowed a first mouthful of food to please her. Once again, she was thrilling his taste buds. She was a better cook than he would ever be. Not that she was bad. He could cook but it was too domestics for him. “So, what’s the plan?” “What plan?” “The suitcases. The jacket. Going somewhere?” “You and I, both.” The idea was enthralling. He ate some more, watched her pack their things. That process was unknown to him. Why packing when you had a spaceship with everything on board? A sentient ship supplying your every need? He really missed the TARDIS sometimes and the lump in his throat was back now that he was thinking of her. They usually avoided the subject but when Rose noticed the look on his face, she came and sat by his side on the bed, a hand on his shoulder. “I’m sorry, I haven’t been more present for you.” “I should be sorry to give you so much to worry about.” “You’re sounding like Donna.” “I’m much better at self-depreciation.” Rose squeezed his shoulders. She hated when he was speaking like this. She was often mocking him with that and he would become his usual sarcastic self. Donna was an exceptional human but she had a very particular way of expressing herself. “That’s all the point. Half human, half Time Lord. A right hand that doesn’t belong to that body. I don’t know who I am, what I am supposed to do. I’m stuck here all day with no purpose.” He lay on his back and stared at the ceiling. “I’m stranded in a universe that isn’t mine, deprived from my ship, from my life; I have a fake name.” He paused. He was mumbling for himself now. “Who am I? What am I supposed to do?” Rose lay on her side, snuggled against him. She put her head on his shoulder, pressed her hand on his single heart. For a moment, she stayed silent, just listening to the questions floating in the air. A new old Doctor, yes. But a new breed of Time Lord, of human. Something that had never happened before. Someone who shouldn’t exist in this universe. He was going through an existential crisis. She had gone through the same when she arrived here. He just didn’t know. “But you’ve got the woman you love.” “I’m not the one she wants. I’m just the pretty boy’s right hand.” “He’s not the one I fell in love with,” she cried out, sitting up. “He’s not the one who took my hand ad made me run in this life of wonders. You are! And that hand,” she grabbed his right hand, intertwined their fingers, held it tight. “that very hand is yours. I’ve held it many times and I can tell it’s yours and not his.” He was very clever but he couldn’t get why she was getting so passionate upon his questions. He had just expected her to listen, to comfort him like they always did. But this was upsetting her mire than he thought. There was more to it and he just wanted for her to continue. “The pretty boy like you call him was more interested in mysteries and other women. It was nice for him to have someone to travel with but he was careless. He wasn’t as protective of me as you were. I found myself in danger many more times and thankfully you taught me how to survive to the worst threats, to handle myself when I wandered off. I missed that Northern Doctor that was sometimes rude to other species.” The Doctor looked at their tied hands. His gaze lingered on his right hand, the one that had never appeared to him like his, this hand that was too large, these fingers that were long and thin, almost skeletal, those too light hairs. He observed it as Rose was peaking about Madame de Pompadour and how she waited for hours for the pretty boy to come back after he left her and Ricky on an adrift spaceship with clockwork droids wanting to kill them. The hand didn’t look so foreign to him anymore. It was less skin, more fleshy and fatter, long but sausage fingers, fingertips and nails in bad shape, palms calloused. Definitely his hand. The exact twin of his left hand. He placed this left hand over his and Rose’s hands. He squeezed them, a silent way to tell her that he understood now, that he could see it. Rose stopped talking and gave him a smile where he could see all her relief. She loved him, she chose him. They would find their way together.
x
Next thing he knew, they were on the road toward their destination for the rest of the summer. Apparently, being the daughter of the boss had some good advantages, like having unlimited holidays. She had a friend, she said, in a small town in the Jurassic Coat in Dorset. Some town called Broadchurch. It was the tourist season and there was nothing available anymore except for this small shack very close to the sea. A stack that belonged to that D.I. Alec Hardy. Obviously, the Doctor had googled the name – if googling stuff still applied in a world where the search engine didn’t exist – and found out that the guy had an uncanny resemblance with the pretty boy. Which didn’t please him much. Especially since Rose had admitted that they saw each other a couple times. It was over now. Definitely over. It had been a long time before he arrived in this universe and yet, he felt jealous because she tried forgetting him in the arms of someone else. Broadchurch was a nice little town though. Everyone greeted Rose with smiles and he sometimes felt like a stranger in her life. She never let go of his hand as she drove to the small shack. She parked as close as she could and they unloaded the car. The keys were waiting for them in one of those boxes with a code, a code Rose had received after renting the place. They settled down in this lovely little place. “What do you think of a walk around before dinner?” “Sounds nice.” Yet, his voice wasn’t very enthusiastic. He was still on the ‘Alec Hardy + Rose Tyler’ affair. Nothing was really done. Not ever. Time was just a loop and they were doing the same things and the making the same mistakes over and over again. This was bothering him a lot and he was brooding all along their walk in the port. Hands in pockets, he wasn’t finding any satisfaction in anything despite the beauty of everything. He liked the town better than London. Quieter, smaller, better smelling. Not a sign of pollution. Just the fresh air of the port town. And then, there was an ice-cream truck and Rose was tugging on his arm like a child and looking at him with pleading eyes. “You’re buying? Please?” “No money.” Such a parody of their first date – if you could call that a date – made him smile and all his bad mood was gone. That was one of the things she loved about him, his ability to change his mood so easily. She nudged him, calling him a liar for she was always giving him money to have on him. It was just in case he would need it, even if he was refusing to use what he called her money. He gave in eventually and bought her a three balls cone: strawberry, raspberry and vanilla. “What?” she asked when she saw him observing her. His bemused smile betrayed him of course. He slipped a finger in the already melting ice-cream and sucked it playfully in response to her offended look. He did it slowly, very slowly, and his smile widened when her pupils became as black as coal. He plunged his finger in the ice-cream again and licked it. Very, very slowly. And Rose decided to enter the game. She sucked on the ice-cream left on her cone eagerly, sensually and flirtatiously. He reacted the exact way she did: his eyes turned black, his flesh covered itself in goosebumps and his cock became uncomfortably hard. When she ate the last bit of the cone, her face had marks of frozen strawberry, raspberry and vanilla around the lips. Immediately, he swooped down on her to kiss her and lick the ice-cream off her face. Her hand quickly slipped from his shoulder to the back of his neck and she pulled him closer, pressed her body against his chest. Things were heating up fast and his hand grabbed her thigh. Her groan was muffled by his mouth and their making out was suddenly interrupted by the clearing of a throat. They could have been embarrassed but they just stepped back with smiles on their faces. The Doctor’s faded instantaneously when he saw the intruder. He contained his disdain and jealousy as Rose greeted her friend, Alec Hardy, and just nodded a salute when he was introduced. “I have what you’ve asked me.” The voice was different from the pretty boy. Well. It has the same tessitura but the accent was awfully Scottish and there was a tone that wasn’t the kind one used by the new Doctor. If anything, those two men were diametrically different. They only shared the same features. Alec didn’t say more about the mysterious demand. He just dropped keys in Rose’s hand and left. He had showed up at the shack but they weren’t there. He had seen them on his way home and stopped to give the bunch of keys to Rose. She pocketed it with a look of mischief. His eyebrow raised so hard on his large forehead that they could have gotten lost in the fringe he didn’t have contrarily to D.I. Alec Hardy. Rose pushed him slightly to chase this jealousy away. She gave him a tongue-touching smile and while he was struggling with the spell she was casting on him, she ran away. “Oi! Not fair!” He often forgot that she was just a kid when he had swept her off her feet and dragged her across the universe. She had grown up quickly because of him, gained in maturity and this universe had made her a very independent woman but deep down, she was still the pink and yellow girl who loved having fun. And what was the point of growing up if you couldn’t be childish at times? He shook his head, laughing, and chased her along the pedestrian trails of Broadchurch. Grass, rocks, dry earth left for sand and it became harder to run after Rose whose cheerful laugh was ringing to his ears. Once again, he was forced to admit that he was nothing more than an ordinary human. His legs were heavy and he was breathless in no time. Soon, he was compelled to stop running. He put his hands on his knees to catch his breath. He was still discovering his limits and hated more than everything else when he was confronted to them. Rose caught him by surprise and jumped on his back, causing him to lose his balance and bit the sand. He tried to protest but only managed to swallow more sand. Instead, he wrapped an arm around Rose and exchanged their spot. He lay her down on the sand and stabilised himself above her. He needed a moment to cough the sand out of his human lungs and she used that time to reverse the part again. Only to be back under him. She was laughing heartfully and he couldn’t help but laugh too. Everything was forgotten and forgiven. Now was all about fun and love and not giving a fuck about people on the beach who were looking at them.
x
People were leaving and the were still sat there in the sand, watching the water licking the beach, going back and forth. They were silent. They didn’t have anything to say at the moment. They were just enjoying the present moment. The Doctor had his arm around Rose’s and she had her head on his shoulder. “Feeling better?” “About what?” “About letting yourself die because I was gone. You were nearly dead when I found you this morning.” “You’re exaggerating.” “You’d let yourself die if I was gone?” “Wouldn’t be fast enough.” He pulled her closer to him, wrapped her into a tight embrace she couldn’t escape from. “You’d have to take me with you.” “Together?” She snuggled closer to him. It was getting dark now and they hadn’t eaten yet. They didn’t feel like moving. It felt like time had stopped its course for them to have that precious moment they needed. “Forever.” He smiled and kissed her head tenderly. There were many questions that needed answers but it wouldn’t be for tonight. Not too much anxiety in one day. He had had enough already. However, the Doctor was no man to stay in one place for too long. He was soon up to his feet. He shrugged his unzipped hoodie off and got rid his shoes and socks. Rose titled her head on the side, wondering what he was doing. Until he plunged in the fresh water and swam. He was far enough to only be a dark figure to her when he waved at her with a large grin. “Come over!” he yelled at her. She shook her head, smiling, and he kept waving at her. She tried to warn him about the way the water was moving. The currents could be dangerous. He, of course, should know better. He used to be a – very bad – pilot driving though the course of the vortex, which was as tempestuous as the sea. It seemed quiet but it wasn’t. He was tossed about by the water and soon it engulfed him as if he was nothing more than a floating branch. Immediately, she was on her feet, had taken off her shoes and jacket before plunging in the water. She swam desperately to reach him before he drowned. He could hold his breath for a while – at least, his Time Lord twin could. He didn’t know his limits, didn’t know when to stop and… He resurfaced right before her with that manic grin she usually loved. She slapped his shoulder to make him pass the envy of doing that again. “I thought you were drowning!” “Me? Never!” She slapped his shoulder again and pushed his head under water to give him a lesson but he only played the fool and pretend to be drowning until he really was and she had to drag him back to the beach and do a mouth-to-mouth and when he coughed the water out of his lungs, she called him an idiot, yelled at him and he only smiled at her as her heart softened. She loved him, she cared for him, she didn’t want to lose him. That was him and no one else.

There was a small paper boat on the edge of the window that morning. Everything was new, unfamiliar and exciting by the was intrigued by this paper boat made of newspaper. The light was shining right onto it. He was absolutely fascinated by this cute origami. He heard the water, its swells rolling under the fragile paper hull, and smelt the salty air of the ocean. His heart cried out for adventures. He imagined himself standing on the deck, on the very edge, and watching the horizons for him to discover them. The wind would whip his face and engulf in his clothes. It would lead him to an unknown destination where he would have the time of his lives, running away from troubles, discovering new things, making new friends. That’s how his life had always been after he stole that type 40 TARDIS, even after the war. He had always been sailing toward novelty and adventures. He didn’t realise he was crying until a hand wiped away a salty pearl of water on his cheek. The touch was soft and gentle on him. The woman to whom the hand belonged to appeared in his field of vision and hid the small origami from him. He didn’t lean in her touch but he didn’t push her hand away either. She traced the features of his face, the wrinkles of his forehead, his large ear, his jaw, his chin. Her face showed the concern she had about him, about his reactions. No words were pronounced. Not one. He never said anything, always kept it all for himself and she just did with it. Everything was different now. Their relationship was different. They were supposed to share everything. Domestics. Something he had to be taught about. He was an adventurer, a traveller. Not someone you could keep locked in a cute house with a white fence and a small garden. It was suffocating him, drowning in a life he had once dreamt of for Rose and himself. “Breathe, Doctor.” The hand was on his cheek. He drifted back to the present moment, focused on his breathing until it was back to a reasonable rhythm. His single heart was aching. It was crushed. Typical of a panic attack. Symptoms of anxiety. He was used to them but he wasn’t used to have someone to help him through them. Rose never saw him vulnerable. Until he arrived here. “Looking for you, crossing the universes to find you, that’s what helped me when I arrived here.” “And now?” “Now I’ve got you. The only person I ever wanted to be with.” “And you don’t need more?” “I want the adventures, the stars, the travels. I miss it. But having you is worth the sacrifice.” “I’ve wanted this life with you. All we have here. But I’m not sure I’m made for this.” “Let’s become defenders of the Earth. This universe is also suffering from invasions, attacks, secrets and no one is better than you for this.” “Except for you.” “I’ve had a great teacher.” “How do we defend Earth without a TARDIS, a sonic?” “You might be surprised at how easy it is.” Rose got up and picked the leather jacket from the hook on the door. She sat cross-legged on the bed. He sat up, wondering what she was up to. She put her hand in the right pocket and looked for something inside. She pulled out a small silver tube. His heart stopped beating a couple seconds. It couldn’t be… She grabbed his hand and placed the tube in his palm. Black bottom, grey cracked paint on the middle, blue tip. He folded his fingers around the gey metallic device to make sure it was real. It looked real. “After you changed, I kept the jacket. I was sleeping with it sometimes, just to have the feeling of your arms around me. I thought that was why he gave it back to you, because it was familiar and comforting. Until I found this in the pocket. You would have been too proud to accept it if he had given it to you that day so he found an alternative. The sonic doesn’t make the Doctor but of that makes you feel better…” He had never thought he would hold this precious artefact ever again, nor that he would be able to use it. It was fully charged and ready for adventures that would never come. He smiled sadly but didn’t let go of it. He would keep it as a lucky charm or as a trinket. He had been living an almost normal life since he was here. If he chose the facility option now, he would never find happiness and peace. “A captain is worth nothing without a ship.” “Good thing I’ve kept that in my sleeve.” He raised an eyebrow and she gave him a mischievous smile. She brandished keys in front of his nose, the exact keys that Alec Hardy gave her the previous day. There was an orange plastic tag on the ring. It was written ‘Vortex’ on it. A very strange name to give to keys. “I couldn’t convince them to call it ‘TARDIS’ or ‘Gallifrey’. They accepted ‘Vortex’ though. Sounds nice.” “So you have a vehicle called ‘Vortex’?” “Not an ordinary vehicle.” She gave him another one of those smiles and took his hand. She forced him out of the bed where he was in nothing else but his boxers and led him outside. He shivered when the chilly morning wind reached him. Bloody human condition. His favourite blonde pointed to the horizon, to a large black spot on the sea. The silhouette of a boat. “That’s Pete’s yacht. He accepted to lend it to us for all the time we’ll be here. They dropped anchor in the bay a couple days ago and gave the keys to Alec.” “I don’t know what to say.” “You’ve got your ship, captain.” That for a surprise! That was the biggest surprise of the year. He was rarely speechless but he was right now. Rose Tyler, his pink and yellow girl, definitely knew how to make him feel better…

Everything happens for a reason Part 28: The end
W.C. 4741
Warning: none… I don’t see anything that could hurt somebody’s feeling.
Finally, the last part of the serie before the epilogue. I know, some of you told me you wanted her to be with Nam but in my mind, she can only love Hobi.  Doesn’t he deserve all the love in the world, our little sunshine? (Yes ok, Nam too). Anyway, have fun reading it. Tell me what you thought of this serie if you want, or not. It’s up to you! Here it is.
Tumblr media
You have to admit, your day was amazing.  First day with so many smiles and laughter in a long time. It had started with a little physiotherapy session for your leg, which hurt to be honest but it has to be done. You are happy to be able to walk for long distances now, to dance almost like before, to move normally. There will be always 2 movements that you won’t be able to do with your ankle: inversion and eversion. Those movements are impossible because of the metal plates and screw that keeps your bones together. Those impossible movements are the ones that will keep you away from the stage forever. You’ll have to live with it, you have no other choice. But it’s ok, you will find a way, your way.
Then you had a lunch date with Nam. He brought you to a little Japanese restaurant with sliding paper doors, painted with pink flowers and japanese script. You’ve drink tea and eat fancy food, talked about life just like you always do.  Having a conversation with him is always interesting. He’s so brilliant and the way he sees things is often like you so, you just complete each other’s opinion. It makes your conversation mutually rewarding and enriching. You talked philosophy and exchanged your thoughts on politic and on “the Seungri case”.  You also laughed and behaved like children, foolishly challenging each other (the one who drinks his hot tea the quickest, the one who eats the slowest, who will be able to put the word «poop emoji» in the conversation with the waitress, etc). He walked back with you to your place after a 2 hours meal, kissed your cheeks before leaving and add “good luck for your conversation with Hobi tonight” before turning around on his feets and leaved with a beautiful dimple smile. You didn’t talk about it with him, Hobi probably did.
This afternoon at 16h00, you haven’t told anybody about it but, you had a meeting with the rector of the Seoul university. He offered you a one year contract, starting right now if you want because you can work from home. Your task would be to assist the teachers of the modern dance department by being the second evaluator of the students examinations. Basically, you wouldn’t be in direct contact with students for now, just watching videos of their choreography and attribute them a score that will count for 50% of their marks on each evaluations, basically a good responsibility. You haven’t decided yet, you don’t know what you will do to be honest. It’s a good job with good conditions and it keeps your passion for dance alive. You are just scared that you’ll find it boring, the fact that you are not directly in the dance studio, where the action is. You will need to analyse it with Taemin, his opinion matters to you.
When you arrived home, you took a long shower, washed your hair, put on some loose pants and a t-shirt of your brother, placed your hair on the top of your head with in a messy bun and stayed bareface. Hoseok had texted you, wondering if you had eaten, offering to bring something on his way to your place. You agreed, sometimes it’s easier to talk with a table between you.
You were so nervous to meet him, nervous about the things he had to say. According to him, there are things he needs to tell you that will hurt you. A lot of things have hurt you recently. As they say, you had to hit rock bottom. The only way you can go now, is up.
Waiting for Hoseok, you sat down to meditate for a few minutes but you have probably fell asleep because suddenly, the buzz of the intercom woke you up.
“Miss Jeon, there is a man named Jung Hoseok here, may I let him in?”
“Yes, you may ajussi. Thank you”.
You have almost 2 minutes before Hoseok will reach your apartment. You take that time to nervously brush your teeth, use a washcloth of cold water on your face and apply some mascara. You have no more time to redo your hair, you can hear 3 light knock on the door.
“Good evening y/n”, he says with a sad smile.
“Hi Hobi”.
As you can see his sadness and his tiredness, you take a step back to look at him from head to toes. You want to analyse every single detail, to make sure he’s not sick or something. He has a big houseplant in one hand, a gift bag in another one and a take-out food.
“May I come in?” He asked, smiling shyly. Hoseok being shy, you see him more and more like that recently but you can’t get use to it. He’s so beautiful with that timid smile that your heart beat faster.
“I am sorry, I have no manners, of course you can come in”. You moved to the side to let him enter. He looked everywhere and smiled brightly.
“This place looks peaceful, I love it. May I have a visit?”
“Go, have a view while I take care of the take out. It smells Thaï food, Mmmmm. Come in the kitchen just over there when you are done”, you said, pointing in the good direction.
He placed the gifs on the little table by the door and started to visit right away. He talked to you on his way to the living room.
«You are not afraid I will discover some of your secrets? Or that I will steal something?»
«No, not afraid at all. You can open all the drawers if you want, I don’t care. Almost everything here is new, I ordered from the net. Can you believe I forgot to buy glasses and cups? We’ll have to drink directly from the bottle».
He was too busy to answer, he took you at your words because you heard him open the drawers in the washroom, this is so him. After a few minutes of complete silence, he was still not coming to join you. You decided to go and see what he was up to. You found him sitting in the big bamboo rocking chair of your bedroom, your favorite room of the apartment.  All the furniture is in bamboo and wood, dyed in a light shade of grey, almost white. The walls, the bedding and the decorations are grey/white as well, only a blanket and a few cushions are colored with your favorite color. It’s a large and bright room that lets the sun in through its garden doors. It’s a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the view of the mountain in the background of your private floral little backyard. Hoseok is sitting there, with big tears in his eyes, looking outside of the window.  He heard you coming in more than he saw you and started to talk right away..
“I’ve messed up everything y/n. Everything…”
“Hobi, talk to me. What’s going on?”
You came in front of him and kneeled down, taking his hand in yours but he removed them as soon as he felt your contact.
“Hobi, what’s wrong?”
“I was so happy to break up with Chae. So, happy that finally I could start something with you, and now everything is ruined again”. He said snuffling.
“You left her to be with me?”
“Obviously”.
You stood up and placed your little fist on your hips, frowning your eyebrows. He finds you beautiful like that and it made him even more sad, thinking everything was lost for good.
“Jung Hoseok, don’t talk to me like that, obviously obviously” you repeated after him, “as you can see, nothing is that obvious between us”.
“I am sorry y/n, you will never forgive me this”. He cried and kept saying that he screwed everything and other things that you couldn’t hear.
You need to place some distance between you and him, he doesn’t want to take your hand anyway. You took a few steps back and when you felt your bed behind your calf you sat down, always looking at Hobi’s eyes and face. He’s in pain, you can tell. Seeing him like that hurts you more than you could have imagine. At this very moment, you would be able to negotiate your whole entire life for him to smile just 5 minutes again.
“Hoseok, please tell me everything. Please, you're driving me crazy”.
He finally needed to touch you, to take your hands in his. In his head, it’s the last time you will accept to touch him.  He came and sit beside you on the bed, took your hand in his, wrist resting on his thigh. You hate to see him like that, about to burst. You placed your free arm around him and laid your head on his shoulder and started to caress his back softly. You don’t know what he has to say but you need to comfort him.
“Y/n… I don’t know how to start, this is so big”.
«You killed somebody? Worse, you killed a cat? You will go to jail soon?».
«WHAAAAAT? No! Girl, of course not. Who do you think I am?»
You know Hobi, he would have never done something like that of course.
«Well then, start to talk, my imagination is playing with my head right now. Start with the beginning ok? One step at the time and we’ll get there. Let’s start with the night we talked together, you were not sure at all who you would pick if Chae was crying like I was”.
“Ok, let’s start there. You’re right love, but not totally.»
Love. He called you love. Hearing that word in his mouth made you so soft inside, you were melting like ice cream under the summer sun.
“I never said I would choose her over you. I was just too much in pain to think straight, to see things correctly. I said I needed to take a step back. I knew you were in love with me and I didn’t want to play with your feelings. But you are not wrong either, my new feelings for her were messing up with my head. I had to get over you at some point and start something with her, but then I learned you loved me back, you see, the big mess there?”
You see it, indeed. You not only see it but «feel» direct in your heart.
“Well, ok, i guess…”
“When I woke up the morning after, you were already gone for your hospital appointments. I was so glad you were there when I came back that night, although I couldn’t tell you anything. I wanted to break up with Chae first.”
He took a deep breath in. You decided that he was calm enough so you stopped to stroke his back but didn’t change position.
“For me, it was clear, you were the one, YOU and nobody else. But, I wanted to break up with her first so we can start together perfectly.  I was screaming inside for you to wait for me. Thinking that we would be reunited soon made me happy but as soon as I realized the sadness in your eyes, I went down myself. That’s when I kissed your cheek and went in my room”.
“You could have give me a sign you know, so I could stop crying”.
“No, because I wanted us to start on a pure way, perfectly free from everything. I didn’t want you to be the third girl and also have to tell our kids later that I was a cheater”.
“Our kids? Ok well, that’s a good point I guess. But we did kiss while you were with her”.
“We did, I know. I never said I was perfect”.
You completely understand. You will never regret that kiss though, just thinking about the taste of his tongue is enough to make you want another one right now.
“Then, you chose to spend the few next days with Taemin, which I completely understand. To be honest, if you had stayed, I would have betrayed myself and declared my love”.
“So, it’s bringing us to that night, when you broke up with her…. right?”
“Yes”
He started to cry again, tears coming from his eyes.
“Omg, I can’t believe I thought it was a good idea to tell you this. You will be so sad and disappointed. I hope you will forgive me”.
“Hobi, spit it, please I am dying to know.”  You can’t wait any longer. He took a deep breath in and started to tell you.
“When I arrived at her dorms, we went in her room and started to talk, she was peculiarly happy that night. I stopped her and told her I had something important to say. I told her I was not in love with her, that I never was. Actually, I never told her I loved her but anyway…  I add that the real love of my life was somebody else and that I wanted to start something with her.  When she tried to negotiate, asking for another chance, I told her I was sorry but it was a final decision. I told her, it was a long time love story and that she can’t compete with the real love of my life”.
“Oh! My! God! Hobi, this is so beautiful. I am the one, right?”
He smiled at your comment.
“Of course you’re the one but I’m not done love… I’m not done. That’s when she served me a bomb on a silver platter”.
“Oh! No! I see where you are going with this…”
“She told me she was pregnant from my child”.
You cannot believe it. Several thoughts are messing up with your brain right now. Mostly, you don’t want him to ever have sex with her, even though you cannot be mad because, she was his girlfriend. Nevertheless, thinking about them kissing is enough to feel your head spin fast, you don’t want to imagine anything else. Plus, is it possible? Can he have a baby with her?
He was crying, big tears flooding his cheeks, sobbing. He was desperately grabbing your shirt with his free hand like a little child would do, not knowing what else to do.
“Wait Hoseok, let’s think about it. Let’s analyse ok?”
“We have analysed it all the way possible, me, the managers, the lawyer of Big Hits. We used a condom for god’s sake. But there was a tiny, mini, little fraction of a percentage that it could have been true».
Because you were analyzing this fast in your head, you didn’t realised he was speaking with the past, conditional tense. In your mind, there’s no possibility it can be true. It was not so long ago since their first date. Not even a month. Not even the time to realise your periods were late, well in your case. And if you realised you are late, it probably means you were not in the good period to procreate. Unless she has irregular periods. You will have to calculate this with a calendar but like that, it doesn’t make any sense. Plus, they used a condom...
He became calm again and add:
«I see you are calculating jelly bean, wait for the rest of the story.  But no, she is not pregnant. Let me finish...»  
«Wait Hobi, how many times did you slept with her?”
“Once only, 4 days after our first date. We never had the occasion to be alone after that, our schedules being what they are”.
“Hoseok, it was almost impossible that you were the father then if she was pregnant. If you want my opinion, she tried to hooked you the only way she could. How could she have known she was pregnant in such a short time? She told you this not even 3 weeks after you had sex.”
“I had not thought so coldly on the spot, probably shocked because of the pregnancy test I saw, it was positive. Anyway, as soon as I told the staff the morning after, they consulted the lawyers of the company that consulted a gynecologist and there was an infime percentage it could have been true. Still, I was panicking. I felt like I was in a nightmare. I didn’t want to have a child with a woman I don’t love.»
“I am not saying she was not pregnant. I am saying she may have been before you slept with her, if she was… Also, technically, if you used a condom, chances were almost nonexistent”.
“I know, I don’t want to give you too much information that could hurt you but you know, after we removed the condom, if we touch the girl «there» with semen on our fingers, some spermatozoids can swim their way up»
«Oh! I figured Hoseok, I figured… but what can I say, i didn’t believe it for a second. Tell me what you told her about the baby?”
“What do you mean?”
“What have you told her about that baby?”
“I didn’t say congratulations if it’s what you mean. I told her that if the child is mine, I would take responsibility. That’s the only thing I said before I left».
You were so proud of the answer he gave that a big smile appeared on your face. He told her he would take his responsibility but he didn’t flinch at her manipulation attempt. He stared at you, surprised by your reaction. He thought you would be destroyed by the news.
“What? What’s wrong with my face?” You asked him when you realised he was fixing you.
“There is nothing wrong with your face. Nothing at all” he said, serious.
“Ok, continue your story please”.
“That’s about it. Big Hits lawyers called her lawyer, they asked for a blood test. That’s when she said she have lost the baby. That is the freshest news I had and it was this morning».
«She was never pregnant Hoseok. Never».
He was so calm all of sudden. Serious, scared and concentrated on your face.
«y/n, you are so calm».
«To be honest Hobi, I’m still waiting for a good reason for us to be over? Why do you keep saying that you ruined everything between us”?
“It’s not ruined?”
“Why would it be? Because you had the bad idea to put your penis inside her vagina?”
His face took the exact expression you thought he would take. Shocked, mouth in a “o’ shape, tilting his head to the side.
“Uh!  But, I almost got her pregnant».
“Hobi, you had the right to have sex with your girlfriend.  You had a safe and reasonable sexual behavior, why should I be mad at you?  What hurts me is the love you had for her while I was so in love with you, the admiration in your eyes. That killed me, it still does. Of course, I wish you would have keep it in your pants love, but at the same time you were in a relationship with her. But man, 72 hours later, really?”.
«Hey, she thought I was old-fashioned, not wanting to have sex on the first date, that I should live my life taking more risks».
«Hoseok, nobody should ever disrespect a decision like that. I think it was a good decision because it was how you felt. Plus, you are nothing like dull or boring».
Big tears came in the corner of his eyes.
“I am sorry I hurt you. So sorry”.
“It’s ok Hoseokie, it’s behind us now”.
“What do you mean it’s behind us? You are still up to have a relationship with me”.
You tilt your head on the side and took your chin between your v-shaped fingers, mimicking his “thinking” expression.
“I don’t know Jung Hoseok, you will have to verify if I want to be your girlfriend soon. If you are capable to convince me that you love me and only me, I might be into it.  Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.  We don’t want all this drama to be the set up for our new “possible” life together, right?
“Are you saying…”
You placed a finger in his beautiful lips and add:
«Why did you keep saying you ruined everything? Because for me, the only thing I see is a man being trapped by a manipulative woman the day he split with her. You told her you would take your responsibility as a father if it was true. If you would have told her to get an abortion or denied your responsibilities, you would have disappointed me big time. What could you do more? Hobi, you didn’t do anything wrong, you used a condom. Of course the lawyers of Big Hits have told you there was a tiny percentage of possibility, they have no choice. They have to tell you this because something like that may have happened in the medical literature. But it’s not common You must have been crazy thinking she was pregnant… ».
«You are not disappointed at me?»
«I won’t lie. I wish you haven’t slept with her at all. But, as I said, you were in a relationship. I am disappointed because we haven’t talk to each other before. I am sad I saw admiration in your eyes when you were talking about her. But I was in a relationship too, not so long ago remember?»
«I know, I still hate that man you introduced to us last year.»
«I also believed it was impossible with you and tried with somebody else… I have no right to be mad at you for this when I did the exact same».
When you realised that your hand was still in his, you took it back and smiled.
«Y/n, you are saying that, it’s still possible between us. That I haven’t ruined it all?»
«Hoseok, I will repeat what I just said. You will have to prove me that I am the only one you want. That I am the only one that you love. If I am convinced, it may be possible» you smiled at him.
You don’t want to seems too rude or too demanding. You just don’t want your relation to start «officially» the day he told you all this.  Just like him, you want the day that will be marked by a big X on the calendar will only remind you good memories. But you really don’t want him to doubt for real so you told him:
«Hobi, the chances are really on your side you know because I, Jeon y/n, am so much in love with you that it hurts »
You were very happy when you heard the voice of Taemin and Jimin calling your name from the front door. Happy because you don’t trust the fact that you or Hobi would have been able to wait for the next day to push things further.
«Y/n? Ladybug? Where are you?»
You heard Jimin making some noises with ustencils in the kitchen before he said.
«Hey, you ordered Thaï food?»
You kissed Hoseok’s temple softly and whispered in his ears:
«I don’t know if I am happy or annoyed by them right now».
Of course Taemin chose that exact moment to appear in the doorframe, when your lips are still on his temple. He went crazy.
«Jimin, Jiminie! Baby, we’ll be godfathers soon, they were about to makeout»
«Oh! My! God!» Hoseok said.
Jimin came in the room and said, trying to keep his cool beside an overexcited Taemin.
«I love your place, it’s wonderful. We’ll have a lot of couple diner here, right? Just the 4 of us?»
You see something changing in Taemin’s eyes, for a nanosecond he was mad. You and Hobi stood up and when you went close to the boys, Taemin told Hobi, with a big smile, trying to act cute but still having a message to deliver:
«You break her heart again Jung Hoseok and I swear to god you’ll be hang by the penis and peeled alive. You’ve been noticed, thank you».
You see Hoseok swallowing his saliva nervously before he answered:
«It’s not my intention Taemin sunbaenim, believe me, I know she suffered enough lately. From now on, I hope it will be happiness only in her heart»
You and Hobi didn’t take the time to explain the boys you were not «officially» a couple yet. They wouldn't have believed you anyway because the two of you couldn’t stop holding hands, hug and smiled at each other like the young lovers do. In both your hearts, you knew it was just a matter of time anyway before you will be officially a couple. The sooner the better.
2 days later, the night before the boys will quit for a 5 days trip
3 gentle knock on your door, so gentle you were unsure you heard correctly. The security guard didn’t call you via intercom after all, you must haven’t heard correctly. The visitor repeat his gesture, there is no more doubt now. When you opened the door and saw Hoseok, you were overwhelmed by a lot of mixed feelings. Mostly relieved, after 2 days, you were starting to ask yourself what was taking him so long. Hoseok is not so patient, normally.
«It’s been 43 hours since last time I saw you. You needed all that time to make sure I was the one» you said with a teasing voice as soon as you opened up the door.
«Who said you are the one»? He answered, lifting only one eyebrow, obviously acting.
«Well I hope I am, Jung Hoseok, I certainly hope I am».
He came in your apartment and closed the door behind him, leaning his back against the door frame with his hands behind his back, looking at you in the eyes.
«You are so beautiful Hoseok. You are so, so perfectly beautiful».
«Hey, I am the one suppose to convince the other, remember?».
You came closer and encircled your arms around his waist, all your weight against him, gluing every little part of your body that could be. As soon as your bodies met, your nose took place in the crook of his neck and his cheek found his way against your temple. It was a soft but very demanding embrace, filled with love and desire. Still, he kept his hands crossed on his back.
«Hey, you missed me that much, huh?» He teased.
«Hobi, shut up please and kiss me».
«What?» He asked, really uncertain he heard.
«Let me make myself clear, if you really want to use those beautiful lips and that equally beautiful tongue, I haven’t checked though, make good use of them and kiss me».
«I thought I had to convince you that I love you, that you were the only one»
«Am I your first choice baby»?
«You are my only choice y/n»
«Good»
You didn’t wait for him to kiss you, you kissed him. When you felt one of his hand on your side and the other one on your neck, you knew you were up to a passionate night with the man that you love and that loves you just as much.
«You know what my love?» he asked once you were lying on the bed, half of your clothes on the floor, hands all over each other, eager to finally make love.
«Tell me» You kissed his neck, your arms keeping him close above you.
«I ain’t really into sex the first night» he was teasing you, you could tell, barely able to contain his laughter. You started to laughed.
«That’s a shame, I might forget all the little things I wanted to do to you next time».
«Well then, we may proceed» He licked your lower lip and bite it, not so gently.
«That’s what I thought».
If you ever have questioned your love for him, which never happened, at that very moment all your doubt died, like that. This is exactly the relation you’ve been dreaming of, filled with laughter, complicity, passion, trust and love. There is no doubt in your mind he loves you, love is strong, love has won.

Update!! 6 months!
So this update is very late and needed! I have been very busy seeing my exchange friends as over the past month my oldies have been going home. A lot has happened recently but the biggest would be Eurotour. 
Eurotour was 18 of the best days of my life. I’m not going to cover every aspect of it because this post would be very long, however, you can have some of my favorite memories.  We began the trip on the 18th of May and we drove to Berlin. After a few stops picking up the last few exchange students and getting lunch, we finally made it to Berlin. Everyone was very excited and ready to get to the hostel. By the time we had got our rooms sorted, we were taken to dinner in a restaurant that was decorated in a very old typical German way with wooden ceilings and wooden furniture and animal heads hung on the walls. For dinner, we had chicken and some potatoes and a strange salad. After dinner, we were given free time to walk around and explore the city. A group of us headed to visit a park that some of the boys wanted to go to. By the time we had been there had a look around, gotten a few photos it was time to walk back to the hostel. We spent the next day seeing the Berlin wall, which was absolutely beautiful and a memorial to the Jews. We then had free time to go explore the city for ourselves. Later our councilors surprised us with a trip up the Berlin T.V tower. The tower is 250m tall and we went to the top. At the top, you have a 360º view of Berlin. Afterward, we had more free time which we spent exploring the city again. 
The next day we drove to Czech where we stopped and looked in a concentration camp. It was a very strange experience but it was very good to hear about what happened there and the type of prisoners they had. this camp held a lot of political prisoners of war as well as Jewish. from the camp tour we continued our drive to our hotel which was just outside of Prague. The hotel was huge and consisted of two main areas, one where the rooms were and another which held activities and the dining area. We stayed for two nights in this hotel and spent a day exploring Prague. We visited the Old Castle which was a beautiful huge Gothic-style building. After spending an hour there to walk around, see the view and take some photos (unfortunately the line was way too long to get into the castle so we didn’t go inside) we headed down to the see more of the city. It was so beautiful and full of life and many small streets and gorgeous buildings. We spent a few hours exploring different sections of the city and then spent some time relaxing before meeting with the group again.
Over the next day, we drove to Vienna. We didn’t do anything else that day apart from having a small look around and eating dinner. The next day we spent driving around Vienna seeing the beautiful buildings and making a few stops to see the Schönbrunn Palace and the Hundertwasserhus. The Hundertwasserhus was a unique building that looked like it had been patchworked together because it was so miss-matched however it was absolutely gorgeous. The Schönbrunn Palace was still as magnificent as I had thought when we visited in 2016 and we explored some parts of the garden that I hadn’t seen at the last visit. From here we went and ate lunch. Alanna, Zara, Emily and I had some pasta and afterwards, I met up with Agnes. We went and had a coffee and talked and caught each other up about what we were doing and how our families were. It was really great to see her again. We were together for a few hours before she helped me find Alanna and Zara. Once I had said goodbye to Agnes we had more free time to just look around the section of the city near our hostel and shop. 
Next, it was onto Lido di Jesolo. We drove over the border of Austria and Italy and the view was just amazing. The mountains were stunning and very picturesque. The drive was long and we got to Lido di Jesolo in the evening. We found our rooms (we were very lucky getting a room on the top floor) and then decided to go to the beach. It was really nice to go to a beach again that wasn’t super muddy or super rocky. We spent a few hours there before heading back to the hotel and turning in for the night. The next day we went to Venice! We drove over to where we would catch the ferry to Venice. Once we had arrived in Venice we had a small tour and then our guides and councilors surprised us with Gondal rides. The rides lasted about half an hour but they were beautiful. Venice was so amazing and being able to see part of it from the small trip on the canals was truly special. Once our Gondola ride was over we had free time to explore the city. First, we went and bought huge ice-creams in waffle which were really delicious. We also bought some fresh fruit and found a small street with steps at the end that we sat on and were able to enjoy the sun, not have tourists crowding it and just enjoy the canals. From there we went and had a look at some souvenir shops and more of the small streets and buildings. Eventually, we found our way back to our meeting place and met up with the others and then we headed back to the hostel. Once we were back at the hotel and had had dinner we went down to the beach for the rest of the evening. That night Alanna, Zara, Emily and I decided to sleep on our balcony because it was a beautiful night and we had the top floor and a huge balcony. Surprisingly our sleep wasn’t that bad however we were awoken by church bells that rang for about 20 minutes. That day was reserved for us all to spend it at the beach. So after breakfast, we headed down and set up for the day. We spent the day lying in the sun and swimming. For lunch we had pizza and it was delicious! I think we ate about one pizza each. That evening we went and did karaoke at a restaurant near the hotel. It was a lot of fun. 
Day 10 we drove through Italy stopping in Verona, which is famously known for Romeo and Juliet. We saw the Arena in Verona which was great although it was under construction so there was a lot of fences and building supplies sitting near. We were also taken to Juliet's balcony which was in a small courtyard and was very sweet. We then had two hours free time in which we went and had lunch, (pasta that was so delicious), and saw a little more of the town. Then it was time to continue driving to our hotel for the night. 
The next day we continued driving to reach Avignon. We drove through the Alps which were magnificent and truly mesmerizing. Our day stop was in Nice which is such a beautiful city. Here we were given free time to see the city and possibly go swimming if we wanted. First, we headed up to the Castle Hill to see the view from the top. It was so beautiful seeing how vibrant blue the ocean was and how full of life it made the city seem. From here we headed down to get lunch and sit on the beach. We lost track of how long we were lying on the beach because we all fell asleep slightly because the sun was so warm and the ocean sound was very calming. When we all decided it would be best for us to get up we went for a small walk around and found some macarons to try. They were very delicious. I bought an ice-cream macaron and a normal one. The ice-cream macaron was a giant macaron with ice-cream as the filling. By the time we had finished here and had seen a little more of the city, it was time to continue our drive to Avignon. 
Day 12 we were taken to Pont Du Gard which is an old Roman aqua bridge. We walked down across the bridge and down to the river which runs underneath it. We went swimming down part of the river and, although the water was very cold, it was very refreshing and nice. We only had half an hour before we had to head to the bus for a picnic lunch. From there we headed back to the town of Avignon to see the city. Inside the city is the Palace of the popes which was huge and sat just higher than the rest of the city. Here we were given free time so I went into the Cathedral next to the Palace with Sofia, Regina, and Marianna. Sofia and I then went together to see some of the city and found a very cute merry-go-round which we went on. Soon we meet up with a few of the others and walked back to our hostel where a few of us went in the pool. 
Now it was time to go to Paris! We spent the day driving, only stopping for lunch. Once we had made it to our hotel and had our rooms sorted we went to go on a river tour around Paris. The boat tour took us around to see a few of the attractions such as what was left of the Notre Dame, and of course the Eiffel tower. The tour was really nice and due to the time of day (evening), it was very beautiful. Once the tour was over it was time to head back to the hostel. The next day we went to the Louvre Museum. We spent two hours there walking around. Firstly, of course, we went and saw the Mona Lisa. Us exchange students took over and pushed our way to the front to get some good photos. From there we went to another part of the museum and Alanna, Owen and I got separated from the other group so we just went off looking at other parts. Zara was unfortunately very sick so she stayed at the hotel. Alanna, Owen and I walked around looking at the paintings.  We spent two hours there and then went to meet up with the rest of the exchange students. From here we went to the Eiffel tower and were given free time. We went to get lunch, first, we had Chipotle and then we got a savory crepe (I had ham and cheese) and it was delicious! Next, we went back to the group and were given the opportunity to go see the Square Nadar. It was quite warm so we went and got some cold drinks and then begun our walk to the top. Once we got there we had a look down some of the streets and got ice cream. Soon it was time to go back to the Eiffel tower. There we waited to go up but we had problems with the tickets so unfortunately, we didn’t get to go up the tower. However, we went and found a nice patch on the grass and watched the light show. We then walked back to the hotel, so that we could get enough sleep for the next day. The next day it was time for Disney Land! Whilst we waited for our councilors to get our tickets we went and had lunch at a sandwich place inside the Disney park. fro there we went and got our tickets and went inside. Alanna, Emily, Jom and I went on Space Mountain as soon as we got it. We had to leave Zara out in some shade because she was very sick, she ended up going back to the hotel. After Space Mountain and deciding what we were going to do (Emily went back with Zara) Alanna and I went on to the next rides. We spent a while in lines and going on rides whilst also seeing the park. Eventually, we found some others and walked around with them. After a while, in Disneyland Park, we went over to look at the Studio park. Alanna and I went on two rides, the Aerosmith rollercoaster and the Tower of Terror. Both were really great although I think the tower of terror would’ve been better if we could understand what it was saying. By this time we were pretty exhausted and headed back to Disneyland park and met with the others. By this time everyone was super tired and we went back to the hotel.  
From Paris, it was onto Holland. To get there we went through Belgium, stopping in Brussels for a few hours. In Brussels, our main sight to see was Manneken Pis. This is a tiny little statue of a naked little boy peeing. One story behind the legend of it is that a fathers son went missing and the father found him peeing on the street corner and so in gratefulness of finding his son decided to build a statue on the corner he was found. Of course, there are several other stories behind it but this was the one we were told. After a few hours of free time, we then had to continue our trip to the Nederlands and get to our hotel in Doorwerth. 
Our 17th day of the trip was spent in Amsterdam. To start our day we went on a canal tour through Amsterdam, passing several sights such as parts of Jordaan, and Anne Franks house. Once the tour was over our councilors and guides surprised us with tickets to Madame Tussauds. We were given free time to go in there and then see what we wanted in Amsterdam. Madame Tussauds was really cool, my favorite was probably the Avengers. Once we had seen all of Madame Tussauds we went to get lunch and then had a look around at some of the canals and went and did some shopping. After doing some more walking around we had to head back to the guides so we could go back to the hotel. Once we got back to the hotel we had some free time and then we had a final night party and flag signing. It was really great and a lot of fun. 
The final day was spent driving back to Denmark. It was a sad trip because over 18 days we had all become very close and considering a lot of them were leaving shortly after. Once we had said our goodbyes it was time to head home. 
After Eurotour I spent a lot of time seeing my oldies and spending as much time with them as I could before they left. I also moved host families to the Schwartzs during this time. My new family is very welcoming and I have adjusted great. Due to some host family complications, I moved to what was supposed to be my third family so they had planned their summer holidays and couldn’t fit me in their plans last minute so right now I am back with Birgitte, Lars, and Zofie, no longer Victor who left to Mexico yesterday for his exchange. Tomorrow we will go to Møn for a few days, which will be nice. 
Tusind tak for reading it all 😁

A quick oneshot for Shadow and Infinite to make up, via Cream the Rabbit braiding Infinite’s hair and telling Shadow he’s a jerk. If you’d like to understand the context of these read on! There are some slight spoilers for OSR, but nothing huge. ^ v ^
Finn honestly didn't know what he'd gotten himself into this time, he was absolutely exhausted. He and Gadget had been helping rebuild one of Sonic's friend's houses, with some help from a robot that they called Gemerl, and Amy who also lived there. He'd been careful not to use the Phantom Ruby for anything, not even hovering, as it made everyone present flinch in fear. He supposed it was justified, after all they were still getting used to the idea of him not trying to kill them on a daily basis. It felt nice not relying on the power of the ruby for everything he did, and spending time doing some good with Gadget would hopefully make everyone come around and stop being afraid of him...eventually. Though, he did still feel a bit uncomfortable not being able to hide his expressions behind his mask, and tried not to react as Amy continually glared at him throughout the day.  
"Hey Infinite!" The blue blur himself had blown through the worksite and stopped right in front of the jackal, startling him as the wind from his quick stop blew forward and mussed his already tangled mane. The hedgehog had stayed in the bad habit of calling him by that title, and because of that, much to his dismay, so had the rest of the resistance. In fact, Gadget, Gears, and a few of the other rookies he knew before the war were the only people that called him by his real name. "We're gonna go get some drinks and chilli dogs, you wanna come along?" He asked with a bright, expectant smile on his face. He'd tried so hard to include the jackal in any outings that involved Gadget, not wanting to leave the wolf's beloved out, despite their bad history. He'd certainly come a long way from wanting to leave 'Infinite' dead on the lab floor a few months ago, and he kept trying to get the ex-villain to open up and be friends.  
Finn simply shook his head, before responding in a low and irritated tone. "No thanks, I'll just keep working..." The mercenary had tried to tolerate Gadget's friends as much as he could, but it was still frustrating how some of them treated him like he hadn't been a homicidal maniac less than a year ago, and others like he was going to snap and kill them all any second. It was exhausting keeping up with it all, and today he just wanted to keep his mind off of everything with some simple manual labor. "Ok if you say so man, we'll bring something back for you." With that, he took off, leaving Finn alone to finish stacking lumber in a neat pile and cleaning the left-over mess. He'd finished his task about half an hour later, everything was stacked neatly and all the debris in his area had been properly disposed of. He wiped his brow, which had been covered in sweat from a hard day of work, and sat in the evening shade of the lumber pile he'd just completed.  
He'd only closed his eyes for a few minutes before he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder, and he opened his eyes expecting to see Gadget standing in front of him. The wolf would probably insist that he tag along with Sonic and company, telling him he needed to socialize more instead of being by himself so much. Instead, a small rabbit, similar in appearance to the owner of this house stood, holding out a glass of iced tea with a slice of lemon delicately placed on the rim of the glass, and a straw resting on the opposite side. "You look tired mister. I brought you something to drink!" She said in a sweet voice, closing her eyes and smiling brightly at the shocked jackal. He supposed kids like her would have been shielded by their parents about who was to blame for all the destruction over the course of the war. Still it surprised him that she showed no fear, he wasn't used to being treated like a normal person by anyone except Gadget. He reached out and accepted the offering. "Thank you." He muttered, sipping the cold beverage through the straw quickly, he was much more dehydrated than he thought.  
Instead of leaving him to his own devices, the girl sat down with her own glass of tea in the shade next to the jackal, fidgeting with her dress as they sat in silence for a few moments. "Umm...Mr. Infinite." She started shyly, fright laced in her voice. It made the jackal's heart twinge with familiarity, the child was scared of him after all, and she knew who he was. However, as she continued he realized it was not fear for the sake of losing her life, but instead fear of being rejected. "I was wondering...can I fix your hair?" The surprise the crossed his face must have startled the small rabbit, because she quickly stuttered to explain herself. "I-I-I mean...it's just really hot out a-and you left it down, and i-it's probably u-uncomfortable because you've been working so hard..." She stopped stuttering as hooded heterochromatic eyes stared down at her, reminded of a memory long past. Her eyes did indeed show fear, but also hope, reminiscent of a familiar ginger wolf holding out a pinkie and asking for true friendship so many years ago. "Sure..." He finally responded, watching as conviction overtook the distress she felt, and her smile grew from a small, shy, upturn of lips, to a full-blown grin.  
She got up from her spot next to the jackal, holding out a small paw to help him up, which he took as he pulled his tired body up from its resting spot. She held his larger paw in her own and guided him over to a small picnic area that she'd spent most of the day playing at. Small toys littered the ground, resting on a white and red checkered picnic blanket, shaded by similarly colored striped umbrella. A chao rested in this spot, but perked up as the rabbit and jackal approached, and flew over to greet its companion. "Sorry to make you wait Cheese, let me introduce you to my new friend!" The chao floated up to inspect the newcomer, and flipped around in the air enthusiastically, apparently liking something about the stranger. "This is Mr. Inf-" "Finn...you can call me Finn." The canine interrupted, patting the chao on the head as it tried to get his attention by doing tricks in front of him. "Right, this is Mr. Finn!" The chao had already made itself comfortable in the jackal's arms, nestled agains Finn's chest, avoiding poking itself on the ruby and nestling against his soft chest fur. "He likes you!" The rabbit exclaimed, giggling as she pulled him the rest of the way to the picnic area and cleared a spot for them to sit.  
Finn stroked the head of the chao in his grasp, and sat where he was told when she'd finished moving her toys. He was offered a snack from the basket that had been resting off to the side, he took the cookie and thanked the girl as he took a bite. He'd forgotten just how much he'd missed eating food just for the sake of taste, rather than out of necessity. While Gadget tried to get him to eat as much as possible, the jackal just didn't have much of an appetite anymore, having spent most of the war rarely needing to eat. When he did it was dehydrated rations, or something he'd hunted down and eaten in a hurry, not wanting to stay in one spot too long. The cookie was surprisingly good too, he thoroughly enjoyed all but one piece, which he had offered to the small chao that had been begging him for it.  
The rabbit began her work on his messy hair, reaching into her dress pocket to pull out a red band which she intended to put the white fur up with later, and placing it on her wrist. She stood in order to reach the top of the adult's head as she brushed, pulling the tangled mess away from his face and back behind his raised ears. As she worked out the tangles he found his eyes slowly drifting shut, the gentle tugging against his scalp, and the feeling of fingers running through his neglected mane when the rabbit sectioned off pieces of hair was soothing. "What would you like Mr. Finn? A ponytail, maybe a braid?" She asked softly as the finally finished brushing out all the knots, he barely heard the question and responded groggily. "Whatever is fine..." He absentmindedly continued petting the chao resting against his chest as he drifted off, his head lulling forward ever so slightly when he finally fell asleep.  
When her work was finished, Cream stepped back to examine the braid she'd made out of the soft white fur. It was quite long, she hadn't realized just how much hair Mr. Finn had until the tangles had been carefully brushed out to reveal locks going all the way down to the jackal's waist. She noticed about halfway through that he had fallen asleep, with Cream resting in his lap still snuggled up close to the drowzy canine. She chuckled at the sleeping duo, and noticed as the wind blew that the scent of flowers filled her nostrils. The beautiful plants had started to sprout in her mother's garden after weeks of their love and care. Her favorites were the yellow Peruvian Lillies that she'd picked out herself when they purchased the seeds to grow the garden, their petals were a bright yellow that fanned out around long stamen that were a slightly darker hue of the same color. She walked over to the lillies that she loved so much, these particular flowers were a sign of friendship, something her mother had told her after she'd picked them from the market. Smiling to herself, she picked a few of them to share with her new companion, as a sign of their own, new friendship. She quietly approached the sleeping canine, who was still holding Cheese lightly in his lap. Delicately, she placed a few of the flowers down the braid she'd made, and one just behind his ear.  
She heard someone approaching from behind, and turned to see Shadow zooming into the worksite, looking around confused seeing as nobody was around but them. The Ultimate Lifeform noticed the two sitting in the clearing, and approached the small rabbit. "Where's Son-" He stopped in the middle of his sentence, noticing the sleeping canine that the rabbit was standing next to. "What is HE doing here...?" The hedgehog said with a sneer, giving the jackal a nasty look. The sound of their conversation roused Finn, and he woke in time to catch the end of it. "Oh Mr. Finn was just helping us build a bit, he came with Mr. Gadget." "I'm surprised they left you alone with him, he's dangerous. You should go find your mother Cream..." "Mr. Finn isn't dangerous! He's really ni-" "Don't worry SHADOW, I was just leaving." Finn interrupted, rising to his feet with the chao still in his arms, and cast a quick glare towards the biohog before turning to the small rabbit. "Thank you for fixing my hair, I appreciate it." He handed Cheese back to Cream, giving the chao one last small pat on the head as it whined at being removed from its comfortable position against his chest. "Good." the hedgehog regarded him coldly, sticking his nose up in the direction of the irritated jackal. The canine closed his eyes, determined not to let Shadow taunt him into another fight, which they'd gotten into multiple times this month. The Ultimate Lifeform seemed intent on getting him in trouble at every opportunity, and always goaded the jackal into activating the ruby and brawling, causing an unnecessary mess every time. Not today, he sighed in frustration before turning his back to leave.
"Flowers huh? That's a good look for you." The hedgehog commented sarcastically, causing the jackal to stop dead in his tracks. His balled his fists at his sides, not being able to control his anger at the sound of Shadow's mocking voice. He quickly turned, activating the ruby and throwing a single, small cube directly at the hedhehog's face. With ease he caught the phantom object in his palm, his expression was clearly unimpressed. "You think you can hurt me with that tiny littl-" The sound of the ruby activating could be heard again, and Shadow readied himself for a different attack, lowering into a fighting stance while still holding the small object. Instead of attacking, the jackal simply turned and began to storm off again. The confused hog looked around for any signs of other illusions, but there was nothing around except for the cube still resting in his palm. Shadow gasped in surprise, looking down to see the phantom object in his grasp quickly expanding into a giant mass. It fell directly on top of him, not enough to crush him completely, but enough to pin him to the ground and make breathing very difficult. The hedgehog struggled to free himself from underneath the giant cube, and flinched as the sound of the ruby filled the air once again. The cube fizzled away, freeing him; he sighed in relief.
The angry hedgehog quickly got to his feet, intent on going after the jackal to continue their fight, but he was interrupted by the child that had witnessed the entire exchange. "That wasn't very nice Mr. Shadow!"  The puzzled hog looked down at the child, wondering what exactly he'd done to merrit her yelling at HIM rather than the canine who'd just attacked him. "You hurt his feelings, you should apologize to Mr. Finn." She said, expression clearly upset that her friend had been forced into leaving by the dark hedgehog. "Cream, I know you're too young to understand but-" "I know he was a bad guy during the war, my mom told me about some of it...but that's even more reason for us to be nice to him isn't it?" She started, unshed tears making her worried eyes shine. "After all, even though you worked with Dr. Eggman to hurt people, we were still nice to you. Mr. Sonic convinced everyone that you deserved a second chance, don't you think Mr. Finn deserves the same?" Her words cut deep, Shadow had never really thought much about his time with the doctor, he'd figured everyone welcomed him because of his change of heart when the Space Colony Arc had almost crashed. While he had indeed helped Super Sonic stop the Biolizard from carrying out Dr. Gerald's plan, the fact still remained that he'd played a part in it, and almost destroyed the world as they knew it.  
His frown grew, the more he thought about it, the more he realized how childish he'd been acting. He'd been mad, FURIOUS, that his fiancée had been captured and tortured for months on end, and took all his anger out on the easiest person to blame aside from the Doctor himself. Infinite had been the one to originally defeat the blue hero, the one to make all those clones and make the resistance believe the Ultimate Lifeform had betrayed them all. When he saw Infinite his blood still boiled in rage, reminded of the sorry state he'd found Sonic in after fighting one of his doppelgangers. The Blue Blur still occasionally woke up with nightmares from his time aboard the Death Egg, though he always brushed Shadow's worrying off and said he was fine. So, in Shadow's mind, he had been completely justified in torturing the mercenary. However, the more he thought about it, the more he realized their situations were nearly identical. While Infinite had willingly taken on the power of the dark ruby, he'd been tricked by the Doctor into thinking his whole family had been killed, on top of being humiliated moments later by the person responsible for their deaths. The hedgehog thought back to Maria, he realized, he'd most likely have done the same thing in the jackal's position. He sighed, how had it taken a child scolding him to realize his stupidity? "I'm sorry Cream, you're right...i'll go speak with him." A bright smile lit up the girl's face, and she hugged the hedgehog tightly. "Thank you Mr. Shadow!"
Later on that evening Sonic and Gadget had arrived to see most of the day's work already complete, Amy and Gemerl had gone to headquarters for the day to do some office work. Sonic was overjoyed that they got the rest of the day off, and Gadget immediately started searching for Finn. He found the mercenary standing off by the hill, doing the last thing in the world the rookie thought he'd be doing. He and Shadow were having seemingly intense conversation, or at least Shadow was talking, and Finn was intently listening to everything the hedgehog said, with an expression marred with sadness. As the wolf approached, he saw the jackal say a few words before doing something that made his heart soar with pride. Finn raised a fist towards the Ultimate Lifeform, not to punch, or scratch, or harm, but as a gesture of friendship. He saw the jackal's lips move in one simple phrase, and then smile hesitantly at the hedgehog, who mirrored the expression, and returned the fist bump. "Hey guys what's shakin'?" The blue blur greeted as he zoomed past the ginger to greet the duo, completely oblivious to the moment they'd been having. "Nice hair man, diggin' the flowers they look nice." Sonic commented, being completely sincere when he did so. What could he say, the guy loved flowers. "Thanks..." Finn replied, looking over to see Gadget walking up next to them with a big smile across his face.  
The wolf finally took notice to Finn's new look, and his smile only grew as he observed the intricate braid the once messy fur now sat in. He gathered his partner up in a big hug, planting a kiss on his cheek. "I LOVE IT!" "Gadget stop..." The jackal struggled in his boyfriend's tight grip, blushing wildly at the public display of affection, but his heart wasn't really in it, he needed the contact after a long day of emotional stress. "I'm proud of you..." The ginger whispered, hugging the slightest bit tighter. "Ah, you saw that did you...?" Finn asked, returning the smile the ginger gave him as he finally released the jackal from his tight grip. The blue blur, inspired by the other couple's display, turned to Shadow in an attempt to mirror the duo. "Gimme a smooch Shadz!" He reached around the biohog's waist and puckered as the other struggled in his grasp. "Get off me faker! We're in public!" The biohog freed himself with relative ease, zooming off back to the worksite with Sonic fast on his heels. "Oh, come on Shad! We're engaged, nobody cares!!!"  
The two canines followed the speedsters back to worksite, Cream greeting her new jackal friend enthusiastically by jumping into a hug, which Finn returned with a smile. The rabbit brought out some more iced tea and snacks for them to enjoy, and Vanilla thanked them for all their efforts in rebuilding their home. "Where'd you get that bruise from faker?" The blue hedgehog asked the biohog, who looked away with an irritated look before replying "Don't ask..." Shadow looked over to Finn to glare, who simply smirked back at him. "What should we do now?" Gadget asked, sipping his delicious beverage as Finn snagged another cookie, giving a small piece to Cheese when nobody was looking. "I have an idea..." The blue hedgehog commented, leaning over and whispering his plan into Finn's ear. The jackal frowned, looking back to the grinning hedgehog with an incredulous look. "You can't be serious..." The hedgehog winked with a sly grin on his face, and gave a thumbs up. "It'll be fun!" The group looked at the canine expectantly, he sighed and gave in to the blue blur's ridiculous request. They spent the rest of the day bouncing on huge, squishy versions of the cubes that he used to use as weapons. He had to admit, although it was stupid, it was pretty fun. Watching Shadow get launched off the cube he was lounging on was also a nice bonus, after all being stationary wasn't Sonic's thing. Messing with his fiancée was. They may have made up, but Finn could still enjoy watching a good prank at the dark hedgehog's expense.
