[ 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ] | [ 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 ] | [ 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 ]
The sun is annoying, and the world can survive without vegetables.
This is the conclusion you’ve drawn after waking up to warm, yellow rays that shine directly onto your closed eyes. You blink groggily, rubbing your tired eyes with a free hand while the other brushes your teeth. 
“Honey, you’re gonna be late!” 
You mumble out an incoherent reply to your mom from the bathroom, quickly tossing on a thin cardigan after rinsing your mouth to rid the intense menthol sting that lingers on your lips. Entering the kitchen once done, however, provides you with a delicious reminder of how amazing of a cook your mom is. 
You grab a fork, devouring the scrambled eggs on toast. Sriracha stains the plate as a result of your messy eating habits, placing the now-empty plate in the basin with a satisfied hum. “Thanks, Mama!” You grab your school bag and rush to the door. You pause at the small alcove before the door, stepping down and slipping on your shoes. 
“Bye, Mama! See you later!” You call out before shutting the door behind you. The walk to school is as usual, with loud car horns being beeped as people rush to work while you stroll past graffiti-filled walls on the side of buildings. The street outside your school is already crowded with various cliques chatting away, and you enthusiastically greet some of them with nods and half-smiles as you enter through the main gate.
You polish off your taco, throwing away your napkin after using it to wipe your lips of any grease stuck on them. You look up at the sound of your name being called, grinning once you see a short brunette walking down the hallway. “Morning,” You greet Nicole cheerfully, opening your locker and pulling out the textbooks and notebooks you need for the day.
“What’s with you today?” 
You hum at her question, glancing at her with a quick shrug as she scrolls through Instagram. Nicole’s the first friend you made here in Brooklyn High School after transferring here four months ago. She had been the first to approach you, asking to borrow a pencil after she forgot to bring hers to class. 
Like any other teenager being forced to move cities to somewhere completely new, you stick to her like glue after that, eventually infiltrating your way into her friend group. 
“You know me, studious and independent’s the vibe I got goin’ on,” You grin at Nicole, draping an arm around her shoulder and giving her an affectionate squeeze. She looks up from her phone with a frown, using her finger to push up her glasses which had slid down slightly from their usual perch on her nose.
“Don’t be so uptight,” You chuckle, nudging her side. She sighs, rolling her eyes in amusement instead. You’re interrupted from your conversation on where to hang out this weekend at your name being yelled out from a distance away. 
“Eyyyy, que pasa!” You laugh at Michael’s greeting as he comes up to you with an outstretched fist, bumping it gently after removing your arm from where it was resting around Nicole’s shoulders. “Have you studied for the quiz today?” He asks, slinging a casual arm around your shoulders while you walk down the hall with Nicole beside you. 
You hum with a quick shrug. “Think so?”
“Man, you gotta get your head down from the clouds, bro.” He chuckles, trying to move sneakily to stand beside Nicole, who simply holds up her hand, stopping him from coming any closer with a glare. He retracts the arm he’s about to sling around her shoulders with a sheepish grin, holding it up in surrender.
“Anyway,” He brushes off her clear rejection, focusing back on you, “I’m planning a hangout with a few friends to celebrate the end of exam season. You in?” You immediately nod with a wide grin, already excited at the thought of goofing around with your friends. 
“Of course, you’re invited too. Maybe we can have our own little hangout-” 
“I’d rather stab my right arm.” Nicole cuts him off with an angelic smile, though her venom-filled words elicit an amused laugh from Michael. “Ah, how I love that icy nature of yours,” He sighs with a shake of his head.
“Who’s coming?’ You ask absentmindedly, adjusting the two notebooks in your arms. 
“Jeremy, Ally, Geoff, Tiff, Miles…”
“Miles? As in, Miles Morales?” Nicole finally speaks, eyes wide in surprise.
“Who’s that?” You don’t recognise the name. The rest you’re familiar with, though. They’re all in Brooklyn High, just in different classes. You’d seen them in passing around the school, and they recognised you in turn as one of Michael’s friends. 
“Right, you don’t know him. He transferred a while before you joined. He’s in Brooklyn Visions now. Here,” Nicole holds up her phone to your face, and you squint at the picture on her screen. Huh. He’s kinda cute, you suppose.
“Cool. Guess we’ll meet during the hangout then.” You sit down at your desk, Michael sitting at the desk beside you while she takes her seat in front of you.
“Wait, how do you know Miles?” Nicole rolls her eyes as she turns around in her chair, placing her elbow on your desk as she leans on her palm. 
“He helped me out a couple of times.” She answers simply. Michael frowns slightly. “Were you two….?”
“Why? Are you going to be devastated if I say yes?” Nicole smirks. “Unfortunately, it’s actually because our moms knew each other.” She sighs, holding up her free hand to observe her nails.
Before Michael can respond, the bell rings to signal the start of classes. They pass by in a flash, and all too soon, you’re outside the door to the art classroom. You’re hesitant to enter, eyeing the doorknob as if it’d burn you as soon as you touch it. 
“Well? Will you stay outside collecting dust, or will you enter?” You flinch at the sudden voice, looking up to see Miss Dawson looking at you with an expectant gaze. Her arms are crossed, waiting for you to go inside. 
“Y-yeah, I was just about to, but then I realised I forgot my…. brushes?” 
“You stored them in my desk drawer last week because they were too heavy to carry home with you.” 
Damn it. You purse your lips, huffing at your forgetfulness. “Fine,” You mutter, grabbing the doorknob and turning it, walking to your usual corner of the room. You pull out your sketchbook and pencil case, leaning back in your chair and waiting for Miss Dawson to start her lesson.
“Today, I’ll be assigning you a task for your end-of-year exams. I know some of you are interested in building up your portfolio to apply for the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts or maybe even to other schools in different states.” You perk up slightly at the mention of art school, placing your hands on your sketchbook. Miss Dawson speaks slowly yet surely, looking at each student with pure conviction. When her gaze lands on you, you’re a hundred percent sure she can see every thought that crosses your mind, each doubt that lingers in your heart. 
“Your topic is, Your Favourite Scenery.”
Murmurs spread through the class, everyone looking at each other with worry. You bite your bottom lip, chewing on it in thought as you furrow your brows. Sure, the topic might seem simple enough on the surface, but the fact that it’s so broad is exactly what unnerves you.
Having a chosen topic is good as a guideline, even more so when you know precisely what your favourite scenery is. With the addition of inspiration and motivation, it’d be a breeze to complete.
The problem is, you have none of the above.
You’re not sure what scenery you enjoy, much less have a favourite. Sure, sunsets are pretty, and skyscrapers are cool, but not much really struck you as deeply. You’re made aware of Miss Dawson gesturing for you to come over to her desk, hesitantly standing up and walking there while everyone else is discussing among themselves about the topic given.
You part your lips to greet her, only to be cut off when she holds out her hand expectantly. You huff, handing her your sketchbook. She flips through the pages, frowning slightly when she sees the random doodles and mindless sketches until she stops on a specific one.
She hums, taking in whatever’s on the page. You can’t remember what you’ve drawn, but you’re more than reluctant to admit how much of a slump you’ve been in lately. It’s not like you can come into class, declaring your lack of talent whilst waving your hands in the air.
You focus on Miss Dawson's makeshift jar of pencils on her desk, recalling someone else gifting it to her for Teacher’s Day. The blunt nibs are a testament to how much she uses them, a bedazzled one drawing your attention. You pick it up, observing the tiny sequins firmly glued to the wood with a fascinated gaze. 
You flinch when Miss Dawson suddenly clears her throat, automatically moving your hands behind your back and focusing your attention back on her. “So, I assume you had an encounter with our city’s local hero?”
“How’d you know?” You ask, eyes wide in surprise. 
She simply turns the sketchbook around to face you, the sketch you’d made last night of Spiderman clear as day. Your cheeks warm, the drawing having slipped your mind. “Looking through your sketchbook, it’s obvious that you’ve been in a slump, honey. But this sketch…This is really good, maybe even one of the better ones you’ve done.”
“Thank you?” You’re not sure if she just complimented or insulted you. 
“Seeing him must have helped your inspiration somewhat, didn’t it?”
“I guess so. I dunno, it’s not like a switch I can turn on and off anytime I want.”
“Well, you’ll have to learn how to keep it on. And for this assignment in particular, I want you to focus not just on your favourite scenery. I want you to focus on what exactly makes it your favourite.” Miss Dawson hands the sketchbook back to you with a knowing smile, and you take it from her unsurely.
“Right…” You return to your desk with one dismissive wave from her hand, sitting back down with a defeated groan. You prop your chin onto your hand, staring at the sketch blankly.
An art slump is the worst. Besides, it’s just a drawing of Spiderman; although it is admittedly some of your best work, it’s not like you can just channel that again at the snap of your fingers.
You need inspiration. You need motivation. You need….a muse, which can only mean one thing.
You’re gonna attempt to find Spiderman.
Attempt #1: Have a friendly run-in!
“This is such a bad idea; why am I even trying to find a superhero? I’m literally just going to ask him to be my muse and he’s gonna say no, which is gonna be so embarrassing and I’ll never be able to show my face around here again and what if next time I’m being robbed he turns away because it’s me??”
“Okay, calm down. He’s not going to turn away because he rejected you, or he wouldn’t be a superhero. Also, you’re literally being paranoid because I’m not there with you.” 
You frown, pulling your phone away from your ear to check if it really is Nicole you’re calling. “That’s not true.”
“I know when you’re lying.”
“Okay, maybe I’m being slightly paranoid, but for good reason! Why can’t you just come with me? You’re good at getting people to do what you want.” 
Nicole’s soft chuckle somewhat relieves you, knowing she took it as a compliment. “I’d come over, but I have to help plan the outing with the group, remember? And I’m not the one with a ride to an Art Academy on the line - you are.”
“Wait, outing?”
“Yeah, remember this morning? You’ll meet Miles then; I think you’d get along. Anyway, you’ll do fine. Michael told me Spidey swings by the hotdog cart every Tuesday, so I guess it’s reliable information.” Nicole reassures you, though her last few emotions are filled with a tinge of doubt. She pulls the phone away to mumble something to someone, and you’re sure it’s an insult based on the irritated bite in her voice when she returns to the phone.
“Fine, I’ll see you tomorrow then…” You say reluctantly, unwilling to hang up the phone.
“Yeah, bye.”
The monotonous dial tone greets your ears after Nicole’s curt goodbye. You shut off your phone, flipping your sketchbook to an empty page with a sigh. You rifle through your pencil case, picking up the sequined pencil you’d accidentally taken from Miss Dawson and tapping it against the blank paper.
Draw your favourite scenery.
You look around, taking in the vibrant green trees and serene lake, the joyful laughter of children and parents filling the air. It’s peaceful. Dogs wander around, some leashed and some set loose. One approaches you, but you wave it away, flinching when it gets too close for comfort. It’s no longer peaceful.
“You can go away now…” You mumble, poking its side to hopefully urge it to move away from you. Your legs automatically move up to the bench, drawing your knees close to your chest. “Shoo, bad dog! Where’s your owner?” You glance up to check if their owner is nearby, only for your bedazzled pencil to be snatched out of your hands.
“Hey!” You exclaim angrily, reaching out to grab it from the dog’s mouth. You hesitate when you see the dog drool dripping onto the end of the pencil, eyeing it with a shudder. You take a moment to steel yourself, grabbing the slimy end with as much force as possible, trying to yank it free from its mouth. 
“Let go of my stuff! That’s not yours! I have to return it to Miss Dawson, you stupid dog!” Your grip slips, and you land on the ground with a yelp, wincing when your knee gets scraped by the coarse dirt through your ripped jeans. 
“Give it back!” You demand, lurching yourself forward and grabbing the pencil again. However, the dog growls playfully, thinking of it as nothing more than a game for entertainment. “This is why,” You grunt between shallow breaths, “I prefer cats!”
Your sketchbook had fallen beside you, the beautiful cover now stained with dirt. You narrow your eyes into a glare, scowling at the dog. “Let go!” 
It finally does, maybe because it sensed that you wouldn’t be playing with it. You fall back once more, your back hitting the ground harshly. The breath is instantly knocked out of your chest, and you inhale deeply, trying to force more air back into your lungs with a choked gasp. 
You sit back up, holding the pencil up victoriously until you remember that there’s dog drool all over your hand. You groan in disgust, searching for a tissue to wipe it off. Wait. Your sketchbook is missing. 
You look around frantically, only to see the exact same dog from earlier now burying a half-open sketchbook into the dirt. Your sketchbook. A strangled yell rips itself from your throat, practically throwing yourself at it with a glare that could rival even Karen herself. You push the dog away, scrabbling at the dirt to uncover your almost completely buried sketchbook. 
“Bye, Spiderman!” Your head instantly turns at the sentence, spotting the familiar black silhouette nodding his thanks to the hotdog cart owner, his hotdog securely held in his hand. He flicks his free hand and shoots a web onto the side of a building, beginning to leave.
“Wait! I have a ques-” 
He swings off into the distance, already blocks away in the span of a few seconds without hearing your cry. Your arm falls to your side, collapsing back onto the ground to catch your breath while your sketchbook lies buried in the dirt. 
Damn it.
Attempt #2: Get Mugged!
“God, I hope this works,” You mumble. The streets around you are dimly lit, and you’re armed with nothing more than your bulky pencil case and a whistle, both stored in the deep pockets of your hoodie. The handbag containing your wallet and phone bumps against your waist, the strap loosely slung across your shoulder.
You’re the perfect walking target to be mugged.
Granted, this is probably one of the worst ideas you’ve had in the history of bad ideas. The chilly Brooklyn night breeze tickles your ears with an icy breath, and your body gives an involuntary shiver. You scan the empty streets hopefully. When was Spiderman – or better yet, a robber, going to show up?
Whether it was desperation or pure adrenaline driving you forward at this point, you couldn’t tell.
But you’re here, and you’re determined to see things through.
Minutes pass of you wandering the dark streets like a fool, and you’re just about to head back home when you sense that something’s off. Your steps slow, and you hear someone else’s shoes scuffle a short distance behind you. 
You start to speed up, fingers gripping the heavy pencil case in your pocket. You’d been hit by it before by accident and did not get away unscathed by any means. Your heartbeat quicks its pace in your chest, sensing them get closer with each step. 
There he is.
You finally spot Spiderman chilling on the roof of a nearby apartment building, breaking into a run. The mugger behind you grunts in surprise, and you hear him start to run as well. Your breaths are short and ragged, and you finally reach just below the building. 
“Stop right there, missy!” Looking up from where you’ve bent over to catch your breath, you see the sharp knife blade held up at you. The robber is slouching, just as out of breath as you are. However, he straightens his back and flashes you a yellow-toothed smirk from under his cap, and you shudder at the bits of dirt clearly seen in his beard. 
You hold your arms up in surrender, risking a quick glance up, only for Spiderman to jump down and land smoothly right in front of you. “Hey man, didn’t your mother ever tell you not to play around with sharp objects?” He tuts, shaking his head as he uses his web shooter to tug the knife away from the robber.
The knife lands in his hands with ease, the robber immediately turning to flee. “I don’t like doing this bit, but you leave me no choice!” Spiderman does a quick frontflip and lands before the robber, grabbing his shoulder and tilting his head. “You should’ve known better,” You hear him scold, and spot a light blue electric current flowing from his fingers to the robber, knocking him unconscious. 
Spiderman lets go, taking a surprised step back as the robber falls to the floor, unconscious. He winces, dusting off his hands and walking toward you. “You shouldn’t come out here during the night,” He chides playfully, grabbing the knife that had fallen to the floor when he caught the mugger. “You’d be in a lot of trouble if I wasn’t here.”
“Yeah, thank you. Actually, I wanted to ask-”
“Whoop.” He cuts you off, glancing at his watch, “I’d love to stay and chat, but duty calls! You’re gonna want to take a right down here, another left, and then one more right and you’ll be at the main street. Stay safe!” He gestures down to a more brightly lit street, patting your back before shooting his web shooter at a nearby building.
“Wait- Ugh,” You groan in defeat, watching him swing off again without hearing your question. Your arm is outstretched, fingers barely brushing against his arm before he leaves. 
DAMN IT.
Attempt #3: If he doesn’t stop and listen to the goddamn question, you’re going to lose it.
“Calm down, pinto.”
“I spilt pinto beans on myself, one time, people. One. Time.” You frown, crossing your arms. Nicole smirks, shrugging nonchalantly in response. 
“Yeah, yeah. Michael told me that he saw your Spidey boy swing around the taco truck down the street a couple times every Thursday, so we should keep a lookout. Don’t want your sketchbook taken away from you again, do we?” 
“How does Michael even know all this?” You mumble. 
“Look, we don’t ask him questions, and he doesn’t ask us any. It’s a two-way street, pinto. Use those brains of yours.” You shove Nicole lightly with a roll of your eyes. Falling back, she leans against a wall, immediately pulling out her phone and scrolling through it. 
God, she has a serious internet addiction. You choose to scan the crowd instead, your gaze sweeping over the kids from the Brooklyn Visions Academy filling the street, having just gotten out of their clubs. You look somewhat out of place with your own uniform, shuffling your feet slightly when they glance over with confused gazes. 
You raise your brows in response to a few of them, and they leave with a haughty scoff. You roll your eyes. Stuck up snobs, the lot of them. Hopefully, the information Michael provided is accurate, though you’re sure you’ll never know where he gets it from. 
“Hey, is the bowling alley chill with you for the hangout? Miles sucks at bowling, so we can team up to obliterate the boys.” 
“Sure,” You reply absentmindedly, only to pause and turn to face her. “Is he not free to meet up before, though? I’d like to get to know him first, so it won’t be as awkward.” 
“Nah,” Nicole frowns at her screen, “He’s busy on all the days I suggested. Something about homework and stuff. Maybe he’s turned into one of the snobs.” She puts her phone away with a snort. “Also, there’s your Spidey-guy.”
“What?” True enough, he’s at the taco truck right now, ordering a taco and waiting patiently. Spiderman has to have lunch breaks too, you suppose. You watch him tap his fingers against the metal table, bobbing his head along to a beat playing in his mind.
You grit your teeth, grab your bag and keep your now clean sketchbook, having wiped off all the dirt with a cloth and the best surface cleaner you own back home. Your eyes shine with a determined glint, practically marching through the crowd to him.
“Hey!” You stumble back, looking down at the bright yellow mustard on your pristine white shirt. “Are you kidding me?” You growl in frustration, looking up to see a girl dressed in the Brooklyn Visions uniform holding up her ruined basket of fries, the small toppled tub now on its side and most of the sauce on you.
“Watch where you’re going!” She huffs, looking at you with pure disdain. 
“Watch where I’m going? Watch where you’re going!” 
Oh God, please let him still be there-
Spiderman is holding his taco now, trying to slip away through the crowd. Your eyes narrow into a glare, pushing past the girl with a muttered apology, running as fast as possible to catch up to the superhero.
You spot him jogging into an alleyway, following suit. You stop, however, when you see that it’s empty. “What?” You mumble, looking around frantically for him. You hear a loud coo, looking up to see the very hero you’re looking for crawling along the wall of the Academy dorms. 
“Wha-?” Now you’re baffled. You watch him reach a specific window, using an arm to open it and enter before sliding it shut behind him. Three floors up and the last one down the hall. Got it. You run to the entrance, only to be stopped by a security guard.
“Woah, woah, woah. Only students of Brooklyn Visions Academy are allowed inside.” He chuckles, holding a hand in front of you to stop you from entering. 
“No, you don’t understand! I need to talk to someone inside.” You try to plead, but he merely raises his brows. 
“Okay, what’s their name?”
“W-well. You see, here’s the thing.” You laugh nervously, rubbing the back of your neck. 
“Mmhm. Come back when you have their name, and I’ll call them down for you, okay?” He dismisses you, using his hands to turn your shoulders around. He pats your back slightly, sending you on your way.
You frown, brows furrowing in thought for a way to get in. Maybe Nicole would have an idea. She’s eerily good at stuff like this. Your feet pound against the pavement in a steady rhythm as you run back to where you had left her waiting.
“Nic!” You call out, panting heavily once you reach the girl who’s still in the same position as when you left. “I need help; I gotta sneak into the dorms of the snob school.” You say through your gulps for air, your lungs screaming for more oxygen.
“You need to sneak in?” She asks, looking up from her phone with raised brows.
“Yeah. I can’t explain right now, but I really need your help.” You confirm breathlessly.
She mulls over your plea for a moment before shrugging, moving away from the wall and pocketing her phone. She stretches her arm above her head momentarily. “Stay here.” She orders before stepping out of the alleyway and out of your sight. 
You wait, albeit impatiently, tapping your foot as urgency consumes you. Nicole soon returns with the Academy’s blazer in her hands, tossing it at you with a grin. “Got it for free; you can keep it. I gotta go for a study session. Will you be okay on your own?”
“Yeah, thanks, Nic.” She never fails to impress you every time. You thank her quickly before returning to the dorm entrance, wearing the blazer on the way. You halt once you reach it, keeping your head down and fastening the buttons securely, hiding the bright yellow stain on your shirt. 
God, it’s probably going to get onto the blazer too, you wince. Spotting a group of girls walking into the entrance, you jog over and stick close to them, walking past the security guard from earlier. 
Once you’re inside, your tense shoulders sag with relief, a massive weight being lifted off your chest. The atrium is pretty cool, but you don’t have time to admire any architecture right now. You glance at the two winding staircases, signs directing the students to the boys' or girls' side.
You recall the window being on the right side of the building, walking up the respective staircase. Luckily, not many students are around. Most of them have gone out. 
Third floor, last room down the hall.
You take the lift up, exchanging an awkward smile with another girl who’s clearly sneaking in as well. She gets off at the second floor, and you spam the button to close the lift doors. As soon as they close, you practically collapse against the wall with a long, drawn-out sigh of relief.
The lift doors open to the third floor. You peek your head out, looking around. Good, there’s no one.
Stepping out of the lift, you pause. Do you go right, left, or straight? From what you recall of the exterior structure, you’re pretty sure it’s the hall on your left. Steeling your resolve, you walk down the carpeted floor, your footsteps muffled. 
There it is, the room at the end of the hallway. You raise your hand, knocking on the hard wood once, twice, three times.
Silence is all that greets you.
“Is anyone there?” You call out softly. When no one responds, you grip the doorknob just to check. To your surprise, however, the door swings open with a single push, revealing the room inside. 
It wasn’t locked.
“Pardon my intrusion….” 
You step over a pile of clothes on the floor, your nose scrunching at the smell. Deodorant and musk fill the air. A picture frame sits on a desk to your left, with a photo of a short boy.
That can’t be him; his stature is too different.
Another picture sits on a small nightstand, and you pick it up to see a familiar face. The boy in the picture with his family is tall, with chocolate brown eyes and raven-black hair. You frown, tilting your head. Where had you seen him before…?
A soft thud draws your attention. Something had fallen to the floor from where it was squashed between the bedframe of the bunk bed and another piece of furniture. You bend down, picking it up. 
Spiderman’s mask hangs loosely in your grasp.
You look multiple times from the mask and the poorly-hidden suit to the picture, finally connecting the dots. You pull out your phone, hurriedly texting the one person who could confirm your surefire theory.
yo, Nic. send me the picture of the guy - Miles, i think? - Read, 2pm
Sure ig. dont go stalking him tho - Nicole, 2pm.
The strong vibration of your phone alerts you to a new text. You look down, thankful for Nicole’s fast reply. Opening the text, an image of the ever-so-elusive Miles Morales fills your screen. 
Oh my god.
Your eyes widen, your suspicions confirmed.
It can't be.
But it's the only explanation that makes sense. 
Miles Morales is Spiderman. Spiderman is Miles Morales.
You hide the mask back where it's dropped out of its hiding place, swallowing thickly when you hear the lift ding, making your swift exit.
Rushing down the hall, the last thing you expect is to bump against the very boy you’ve been looking for. You don’t dare risk a glance, recognising him just by his shoes alone. Ignoring his apology, you run off, making your exit.
Once you exit the dorm entrance, most of the tension leaves your body. Making your way back home, your mind reels from the discovery.
Miles Morales is Spiderman.
While you slip away from his notice, Miles spots something in his peripheral vision. His suit had fallen slightly out of his hiding place. Thinking nothing of it, he goes to stuff it back in when he sees a small spot of yellow on the side of his mask.
Yellow?
He brings the mask up to his nose and takes a sniff. His brows furrow at the familiar scent.
...Mustard?
He wipes it off with a shrug.

au Joel eating Doc out as she vents about her day at the hospital watching her slowly forget about it
👁️🫦👁️
OMG Hi Bestie!
This ask was DELICIOUS OMFG and soooo Joel coded. Just so so so so so Lavender AU!Joel coded. I love him so much and I just know he's done exactly this for Doc so many times over the years. Girl works a stressful job, she needs some release, after all.
Anyway, I hope this fits what you're looking for! Thank you so much for reading and for asking for this! Love you!!
Long Day
Joel takes care of you after a hard day at the hospital. A one shot set in the universe of the Lavender No-Outbreak AU.
Tumblr media
Pairing: Joel Miller x Lavender AU Female Reader

Remind me again why I wanted to be chief of pediatric surgery?
Joel wasn’t surprised to get your text when he took a minute to check his phone while on a job site. You’d been up late the night before, preparing for a presentation to the hospital board to get more funding for your department. Some kind of new equipment that you desperately wanted and gushed about at every opportunity that Joel could not understand at fuck all. The curse of falling for a woman so much smarter than him, he supposed. 
Because you’re nothing if not a high achiever, he texted back. What’s going on, Baby?
I hate the bureaucracy of this, you replied. One of my favorite kids came in today, her mom is beside herself, and am I with them? No, I’m walking some asshole through the surgical wing of the peds floor.
“Hey Miller!” One of the site managers called to him. “Got a question for you!” 
“One sec!” Joel yelled back before he texted you back again. 
Think you can make it home at a reasonable time or are they going to chain you to the desk?
Only thing that would keep me here is the inside of an OR, you wrote back. They’d better deal. 
Joel smiled a little at that. Back in your residency years, he’d have resigned himself to not seeing you on days like today. He’d take care of Evie and worry that you weren’t eating enough or pushing yourself too hard or crying in the car from stress before coming inside so you didn’t freak out him or your daughter. 
He’d caught you doing that once, the car parked on the street as he walked back from loaning a tool to a neighbor down the road. He was so excited to see you that it took him a moment to realize you were crying, your forehead against the steering wheel, your whole body shaking with it. 
He opened the door, making you jump and start trying to dry your your eyes before he could notice. 
“Hey now,” he said gently, leaning into the car with his arm propped over the door. “What’s goin’ on, Baby?” 
“Nothing,” you sniffed. “Just a really really awful day, I’ll be fine, it’s fine, I’m just not used to it yet…” 
Joel frowned. 
“Used to what?” 
“All of it,” your voice was shaky. “Just all the stress and the exhaustion and I keep getting more attached to patients than I should. I had a kid today who was in a car accident and he looked fine so I was joking with him when doing the initial exam trying to keep him calm and the next thing I know he’s crashing and we couldn’t get him back and it just really fucking sucks sometimes, Joel. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to do this…” 
“Hey,” he gently reached out and cupped your face, his thumb tracing your cheekbone. “You’re the strongest person I know. You can do this. I’m sure of it, never been more sure of anything in my life. Except maybe loving you but that’s an extremely high bar.” 
You laughed a wet little laugh and sighed. 
“Do you still want to do this?” He asked, frowning slightly. “Because you don’t have to, Baby. Don’t care that you went to med school, you don’t have to be a doctor if it doesn’t make you happy.” 
“No, I want it,” you nodded once, more to yourself than anything else. “If I’m strong enough, I want it.” 
He took you inside and sent you to go shower, picking up your scrubs off the bathroom floor and putting them in the washer. He set out your favorite swimsuit and made you a frozen margarita before moving the boom box to by the pool and putting on your favorite Beatles album. He grabbed the book from your bedside table and set it next to the margarita just as you came outside, already looking more like yourself. 
“Oh Babe, you didn’t have to do all this,” your hand went to your heart and, for a second, Joel was afraid you’d start crying again. 
“I know,” he said. “But I wanna take care of my girl. Feeling anything for dinner? I can order Chinese or pizza or make you something?” 
“Can I get Mongolian Beef?” You asked, taking a sip of the margarita. “With an obscene amount of egg rolls?”
Joel smiled a little. 
“Of course Baby,” he said. 
Joel took care of Evie so you had space to relax but you pulled her onto your lap and held her close while you ate, your nose buried in her hair while she told you everything about her day. 
When he took you to bed, he had every intention of keeping his hands to himself. But you had a different idea. You kissed his shoulder, his neck, over his jaw. 
“Baby,” he groaned. “Don’t push yourself…” 
“I’m not,” you whispered, your breath warm against his skin. “Want you, want to feel you…” 
He kissed you, gently at first, but your fingers knotted in his hair, pulling his mouth tightly to your own. Your hips ground against his, your breasts flush against his chest. He clutched onto you and moaned into your lips. 
“Make me forget it all,” you said softly. “Please, Joel. Just for a bit.” 
He moved you below him and took you slowly but firmly, like he was fucking every ounce of love he had for you, for the family you’d made together, into you until that was all that was left. There were no insane hours, no one you couldn’t save, no life or death stress. There was just you and him and how much he loved you. 
The next day, he called in sick and kept Evie home from school. The three of you snuggled in bed until you needed to go to the hospital that evening. 
“Thank you,” you said as you kissed him next to your car, the same place he’d found you crying the day before. “I couldn’t do this without you.” 
“I’m so proud of you Baby,” he held your face in his hands. “My girl the doctor.” 
After that, Joel always knew exactly what you needed after a rough day at the hospital. 
He texted Ellie to see if she could go to a friend’s place for a while after school - something she was thrilled about - and he stopped by your favorite BBQ place on the way home to pick up all your usuals. He opened a bottle of your favorite French wine and had a plate ready and waiting for you when you walked in the door. 
“Joel,” you smiled, coming over and dropping your forehead to his chest. He smiled a little and wrapped his arms around you, kissing the top of your head. “Have I told you lately that I love you?” 
“Yes,” he said. He felt you laugh against him. “But don’t mind hearin’ it again.” 
You vented a little over dinner and the two of you polished off one bottle of wine before you moved to the living room. Joel opened a second and put on your favorite movie and held you on the couch, his hand tracing the contours of your body as he held you close. 
“Ugh, you guys are gross,” Ellie said when you didn’t bother to separate from him at all when she came in the front door. 
“Love you too, Gremlin!” You called after her as she went to her room. Joel laughed. 
“Why do we keep endin’ up with teenaged girls?” He asked. “That’s the hardest age but I swear we’ve had a teenaged girl in this house for 20 fuckin’ years.” 
“Gluttons for punishment,” you said, a smile on your voice. 
“Doin’ any better?” He asked, fingers trailing through your hair against your scalp. 
You sighed. 
“A bit but…” your voice trailed off. “I’m so sick of this part of my damn job. There’s only so much board member ass I can kiss before I want to throw up. I got into this to take care of kids not deal with bureaucrats, you know?” 
“You are helping kids by dealing with the bureaucrats,” Joel kissed your temple and gave you a squeeze as the credits to the movie ended. “C’mon baby, let me take you to bed.” 
He got up and, before you had a chance to follow, he scooped you up off the couch. You let out a little shriek, your arms flinging around his neck and he laughed a little as he carried you to bed. 
“Isn’t your back getting too old for that?” You teased as he set you gently on the bed. 
“More worried about my knees,” he smiled a little. “Good thing I’m married to a doctor. Damn good one at that.” 
“Not so sure about that last part these days,” you sighed and he leaned over and kissed you, gently, your face delicately in his large hand. His fingers tangled in your hair and he lay you back in the middle of the bed until you were stretched out below him. He pulled his mouth ever so slightly from yours, making you whimper. 
“What were you sayin’ Baby?” He asked, his nose brushing your own. 
“Uh,” you closed your eyes for a second. “I… I’m not sure…” 
He kissed you softly for a moment before pulling away again. 
“Good.” 
He kissed down your body, unbuttoning your shirt as he went, until he got to your pants. He recognized them, you called them your ass kicking pants. You wore them when you wanted the extra confidence, wanted to feel like you could take control of anything. Joel just loved the way they made your ass and thighs look. He took a moment to appreciate the view, pressing a kiss just above the waist of your pants, his eyes running up your body until they met yours. 
“Tell me everything botherin’ that pretty head of yours,” he said before kissing your stomach again. Your fingers twisted in the duvet. “C’mon baby. I want to hear you.” 
“I had to show around Anders, that one board member who really sucks,” you said, voice a little breathy. Joel opened your pants and hooked his fingers around the waistband of them and your panties. You whimpered. 
“Why’s he suck again?” Joel asked, sitting up enough to start pulling your pants down. You raised your hips off the bed to help and he pulled the clothes over your hips. 
“You know why,” you were fully panting now. 
Joel did know why. That wasn’t the point. 
“Remind me.” 
He pulled your pants off completely and climbed between your legs, settling between your thighs. He pressed a kiss to your mound and you moaned at his touch. 
“He’s all about profit,” you said, voice tense and needy. “He loves plastics because it’s a money driver, always wants them to get the newest technology, everyone else always gets the…” 
You cut off with a quiet gasp as Joel pressed his tongue to your clit, licking the sensitive nub firmly. He smiled a little and kissed you there, sucking you into his mouth for a moment before licking up your seam back to your clit. 
“Fuck, Joel…” you were panting below him now. His hands went to your thighs, holding them to his head. 
“What else, Baby?” He asked, kissing your clit again. “Tell me every little thing making that beautiful brain of yours work overtime.” 
“There’s… Um…” your head dropped back onto the bed. “There’s that clinical trial that’s starting in a few weeks…” 
He slipped his tongue between your folds, the tip of him slipping into your tight hole, making you moan and your back start to arch. He pressed deeper. 
“I lost… I lost a day of work on it today and…” 
His nose brushed your clit and you turned your head to bury your mouth in the mattress as you fought to not cry out in pleasure. His tongue opened your tight little hole for him, stretching and reaching deep, parting your walls. You panted and your channel coated Joel’s tongue in more slick, the flavor of your passion smooth and musky and slightly sweet. You rocked your hips against him and he smiled against your mound, his tongue stretched so the tip of it brushed the soft place inside of you that he loved. 
“Keep goin’, Baby,” he said, pulling his mouth from you when you’d been speechless a little too long. “Tell me all of it.”
You took a moment, gasping and panting for breath. 
“I didn’t get to spend time with Kaylee and her mom, Cara, today,” you managed. “Cara gets worried and I know she trusts me…” 
Your voice broke as Joel thrust his tongue and a finger inside your tight hole, pressing deep into you and finding the places that he knew made you fall apart below him. He ate at you, his nose buried in your seam, brushing up against your swollen clit, tongue working you, finger stretching you. You let out a strangled little cry as your channel grew tight around him and he moaned against your pussy, starting to rut his hips down against the mattress. But he didn’t want to distract you, this was about you forgetting, not about him. You ground your hips against his face, unable to stop yourself anymore. 
He licked into you, nose working your clit, finger hooking into your inner wall until you came over him, Joel lapping up your wetness as it spilled onto his tongue and his lips. 
“Joel!” You gasped, your whole body arched for a moment as you throbbed around him and then collapsed back onto the bed, the aftershocks of your orgasm still pulsing against his tongue. 
He waited until your body was loose on the bed before he pulled his tongue and finger from you. He wiped his mouth on his arm and crawled up your body to where you lay, panting and pliant below him. 
“What else is botherin’ my girl? He asked softly, his fingers in your hair. 
“I… um…” you were breathless. “I don’t remember.” 
“Good,” he said softly, leaning in slowly to kiss you gently. 
He stripped off his clothes and put one of his hands against your pussy, tracing your dripping seam, while he worked his cock for a moment. He kissed you, took your hand and lined his thick cock up with your entrance and pressed into you slowly, until he was deep inside you. 
“Joel,” you breathed, your eyes searching his. 
“Baby,” he nuzzled your cheek, savoring the feeling of you below him and around him, how tight you were, how warm, how soft. “What do you need?” 
“Just you,” you said softly. 
He kissed you again and started to move inside you, slow but firm. He thrust deep inside you until the tip of him was pressing against the place inside you that made you start to tighten around him before pulling back slowly. His head caught on every ridge of muscle inside you and he savored that feeling, this part of you that felt like it belonged to him. When just his head was left in your tight, grasping sex, he thrust back in you hard, hard enough to force the air from your lungs. 
“Fuck, Joel,” your hips pressed up into him as you started to tighten around him. “Joel, please…”
“Anything else on your mind, Baby?” He panted. You whimpered and shook your head quickly. “I want to be the only thing in this pretty head, want to be the only thing inside of any part of you.” 
You arched into him, your fingers digging into the flesh of his back as your pussy got even tighter around him. 
“That’s it Baby,” he managed, his own orgasm getting closer. “C’mon, come all over me. Come all over this cock, I’m so close Baby, want you to milk me dry, c’mon Baby…” 
You buried your face in his shoulder and thrust your hips up against his as you came around him, your channel throbbing fiercely over him. He only lasted two more thrusts before he pressed himself deep and came in you, filling you with rope after rope of his spend. 
Your orgasm outlasted his own, your body pulling every last drop of come from his own and he collapsed as you went limp below him. Joel rolled onto his back and pulled you with him, so you were loosely draped over his body, his cock still deep inside you. He ran his hands slowly over your back as the two of you came down from your shared high. After a moment, you pressed a kiss to his chest and he felt you smile against his skin. 
“What?” He asked. 
“Definitely doing better now,” you said, teasing a little. He smiled. 
“Good,” he kissed the top of your head. “Gotta do whatever I can to take care of my girl the doctor.” 
You laughed a little. 
“You take such good care of me,” your fingers traced little paths over his chest. “Think I can do anything as long as I’ve got you, Joel.” 
He smiled and rested a hand on the small of your back. 
“I think so, too.”

college!Ellie comforting anxious fem GF with lots of kisses and back rubs?
a/n: i feel like this headcanon was so bad but i did my best <3 hope u enjoy <3333
college!ellie headcanon: comforting anxious gf
you were swamped. final exams were approaching, a 10 page research essay was due in 3 days, internships to apply to in time for the summer, laundry barely started — everything was piling up.
you felt as if the weight of the world was on your shoulders, and you had to keep yourself afloat. but you could feel it, you were about to crash.
the tab was still open, your research paper halfway done, and you were overwhelmed with anxiety. failing to hold back the immense emotion, you burst into tears, sobbing into the sleeves of your hoodie.
you just weren't sure if you had the power to keep pushing through these last couple weeks, you were drained out dry. weeping into your hoodie, you hear your phone ring.
sliding the button to answer, you press your phone to your ear. "h-hello?" you attempt to dry your face, concealing any evidence that you were just crying minutes before. "babe, i'm on my way over. just wanted to see if you wanted me to pick something up for you," ellie's voice come through the speaker, still unaware of your current state.
"uhhhh, i'm fine, els," you croak, "you don't h-have to come over right now. you must be busy and stuff and i don't wanna get in the way." there's a shakiness in your voice, and you hope to god ellie doesn't notice. she goes quiet for a second, "hmm. okay. fine." you let out a breath of relief, "call you later then, sweet girl," she coos, "i love you." "i love you, ellie." click
putting your phone down and burying your face in your hands, you let out a breath, allowing a few tears to fall down your face. it made you feel bad burdening ellie with your issues — she had her own stuff going on. the last thing she needed to worry about was you.
it wasn't long before you heard a couple knocks on your door. you furrowed your brows, knowing you weren't expecting anyone. still, you walked over and opened the door of your dorm, face-to-face with a big, brown teddy bear. ellie's face poked out from the corner of the bear's head. "we could tell you were bear-y sad, so we wanted to check in on you." you threw your arms around her, squishing the bear in the process. she let out a chuckle, pulling away to see your face, surprised to see your eyes filling with tears.
"hey, hey, hey," she whispers, "c'mon, let's get inside first." gently guiding you inside your dorm, she closes the door behind her. "what's been goin' on, sweet girl? talk to me."
"jus-just been feelin' so— overwhelmed," you breathe out, "f-finals, my p-paper, freaking i-internships—" tears begin to spill, "i don't k-know i-if i can h-han-handle it." you weep into her jacket, and she soothingly rubbed your back, letting you cry.
once you calm down a bit, ellie pulls away a little and cups your face in her hands. "what do you need from me, baby?" she asks, "anything at all, you name it. i'll get it."
"i just— i just want you to hold me."
you both climb into your tiny, twin bed. with her arm wrapped around you, you nestled into her side, inhaling her scent — cedar and mahogany teakwood. she rubbed slow and small circles on your back, calming your nerves.
"i don't know if i'm stuck out for this," you murmur, "college is jus' a lot. don't know if this is what i'm meant to do." you look up at her with big and glossy eyes. "hey," she whispers, "you are one of the smartest people i know, and you are so fucking hard working, always putting in 100 into everything you do."
a tear trails down your face and ellie continues. "you can do anything you out your pretty mind to do, anything, baby," she coos, "you're meant to do this." ellie leans down to press a kiss on your forehead, "and if you're still unsure about school and all, then that's okay too. you can choose something else you wanna do, and i'll be here, rooting for you every step of the way."
you heart warms up in your chest, feeling fuzzy. "thank you," you dote, "i'm so lucky to have you, els." ellie smiles down at you, leaning in to kiss you tenderly.
"always, sweet girl," ellie wraps her arm tighter around you, "now, come here. relax a lil' more, yeah?" you nod and cuddle back into her warmth, and she presses another reassuring kiss on top of your head.

Okay soooo i kindaa had a silly idea and ran with it…. Fem!dazai who’s a monsterfucker with an AFAB!reader who is ALSO monsterfucker?
-Imagine fem!dazai finding out her s/o is a monsterfucker~
Imagine the two of them on Dazais bed just rambling on to eachother and then reader just says “honestly sometimes id just love to be fucked dumb by a tentacle y’know?”
And dazai just nods like “yass girll me too~” but she has this sneaky look in her eye.
-“Zai?whats up??oh no…what did you just think of🤨”
-“Oh no just…hold on”
She goes over to her closet and picks up a box and brings it back to the bed and opens it.
And lo and behold its fuckin filled with an assortment of monster-dicks.
Reader then looks up at dazai like 😳
And all she says is “ive got way better than a tentacle babe~ take your pick”
And when reader can’t pick on,she just covers their eyes and makes em pick one.
Imagine the rest of the night she just uses them all on you so you can find your absolute favorite…
Well at least that’s the excuse she made to get you on board.
Imagine dazai just goin to townn on you with each and ever one in the box,trying some of her favorite ones twice(just to make sure you get a proper feel for it ofc! she definitely doesnt love seeing your face scrunch up and relax as each one enters your pretty little cunt,each one a different shape,size,length and girth.)
Imagine her going so deep,it rubs against your cervix…imagine cumming so many times that at this point neither of you have kept count accurately.
Imagine her stimulating your clit with a little bullet vibrator as she thrusts the foreign shapes into you revelling in the way you moan out her name and grip the sheets,your toes curling and your back arching.
Imagine her using a vibrating one and just keeping it inside you,buried to the hilt and making u beg to have it pulled out.
Imagine her running her finger along the edge of your cunt,gathering some of your slick and demanding that you clean the mess off her fingers in exchange for taking it out of you.
Imagine by the time your done you feel so sore and exhausted that you can barely even get up to go have a post-coital shower.
Imagine waking up the next day to see that each and every one of the little gadgets had been haphazardly thrown back into their box. Only your decided favorites lying nicely cleaned and dry on your night stand.
Imagine getting just a little sweet revenge on her and buying her one she doesnt have just to use it on her until she cant walk. Honestly I doubt she’d mind~ I mean she gets to skip work the next day, AND she gets to be your little pillow princess~ It was a win win situation!
I hope its okie and not too much😭
ALSO IM SO SORRY I DIDNT KNOW U WERE LACTOSE INTOLERANT!!!!
Lets just imagine my icon is um lactose free cheese?(is that a thing?)
Anywho! OMG GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS!!!! Ive got exams on monday too #A Levels🥲 I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! YOUVE GOT THIS!!!!
Stay safe! Study well and i believe in you!
-🧀
DEAR LORD 🧀, WANT SOME WORD COUNT LIMIT WITH THAT ESSAY 😭⁉️
I love how dedicated you are lol.
But you’re missing the part where Fem!Dazai would get a double sided monster dildo just to share with you so you could fuck yourselves stupid on it. And she only gets more enthusiastic about it when your pussies meet in the middle and your clits rub against each other 🤭
OOOO ALSO BONUS BUT UHM, I HAVE A FEM! CHUUYA x READER x FEM! DAZAI SMUT DRAFT SITTING IN MY DOCS THAT WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE WHAT I POSTED INSTEAD OF JUST THE FEM! CHUUYA SMUT 😶 I had the idea written down but I never wrote it. (I want to though.)

Tumblr media
Fridays were without a doubt your favourite day of the week.
Not because it was the beginning of the weekend, meaning you could sleep in and not have to head out towards college for two days straight —although it did definitely add to your joy over it—, but because it was date night with your boyfriend.
This tradition of yours had first began two months into your relationship, when the two of you had lost any remaining social life you ever had, given all the projects and exams you found yourselves juggling with. Nonetheless, both of you refused to let uni get in between you and your much appreciated 'alone time'.
Hyunjin had first come up with the idea, showing up at your door one Friday evening when you were studying, and just inviting himself in — placing the takeout bags on the table and managing to distract you just enough as the impromptu date he had planned took place instead.
The next Friday it was you the one showing up at his door, just like he had done a week before, bringing his favourite food and convincing him to cuddle you on the couch and watch a new show with you.
After that, date nights on a Friday night were just a given. Even when both your schedules were cleared up and you got to see each other pretty much every single day. You had even leveled it up by going out instead — movie theater, restaurants, cafes, walks, picnics, anything that would grant the two of you some alone, quality time.
Last week, it was a walk during the sunset. You had walked hand in hand alongside the Han River, simply talking about anything that came to mind as you admired the sky's reflection in the water.
You remembered how particularly cute the flowers looked that day. Maybe it had to do with the fact that it was spring, or maybe you were just so in love with Hyunjin that everything surrounding you when you were with him seemed to be a thousand times better. Nevertheless, you found yourself letting go of your boyfriend's hand, missing the way he had pouted at the contact loss as you ran towards a bunch of lilacs near the river.
"Take a picture of me!" you exclaimed.
Hyunjin rolled his eyes, shaking his head in amusement as he dug his hand in his pocket. You smiled as soon as you got a glimpse of his phone, later striking a pose when his camera was pointing in your direction.
"You look so pretty" he gushed, leaning back as he looked for a better angle.
"Don't make me shy now," you shyly complained, earning a cute giggle from him. "Did you take it?"
"I'm having a bit of trouble with it…" his eyebrows furrowed.
"What? Why?" you mirrored his expression, going up to him and taking the phone in your hands so you could go through the pictures he had taken. "I love them, though".
"But I can't see you" he pouted.
"What are you talking about, I'm right there!" you pointed to yourself in the middle of the picture.
Looking up when he said nothing, you caught him smirking for a second there, before he turned completely serious and stared back to the picture. 
Oh God, you knew what was coming.
"What do you mean? All I see are flowers," Hyunjin stated, acting confused as ever. "Although this one right here is the most beautiful of them all, I must admit".
Feeling your face burn after he said those words with his full chest while pointing at you, you shoved him off with your shoulder, getting a loud laugh from him before he threw an arm around your shoulders and pulled you to him.
"You're so cheesy" you whined.
"You love it" he teased, planting a small kiss on your temple before he shoved his phone back into his pocket so you could resume your walk. "Ah, I can't believe the universe gave me the prettiest flower all to myself".
You couldn't help but giggle at that. "At least one of us was given a flower sometime in their lifetime".
"You haven't?" he looked genuinely shocked.
"Nope," you shook your head, later allowing a smile to curve up your lips. "Although you're so handsome I could also say the universe gave me a flower".
"Yah, don't take credit for my pickup line now" his eyes squinted at you.
"Wasn't taking credit, just using it" you pressed a kiss to his jaw.
You hadn't thought much of it back then. It had just been a casual comment you thought he would forget five minutes later. Just like you did.
A dreamful smile adorned your mouth as you put your things back in your bag. The last class of the day had just been dismissed and you could not wait to rush over to Hyunjin's place for the movie night you had planned — the two of you were feeling like just staying cuddled up in his cozy bed that night. 
The mere reminiscence of last week's date and how you were having another one today made you feel butterflies in your stomach.  You really could not wait to spend the rest of the day with him again.
And you didn't have to, for the moment you made it out of the classroom, you spotted your boyfriend waiting for you only a few meters away. He was sitting on a bench by the water fountain, hands resting on his lap whilst holding his phone, as he no longer paid attention to it but looked around for you instead as he watched everyone walk away.
It was funny how he was struggling to find you in between your classmates, when you had found him in a heartbeat. 
It only took him a couple more seconds to find you, standing up in a heartbeat when he finally locked eyes with you.
His eyes turning into two crescent moons and a shy smile parting his lips, plus the way he slightly lowered his head when he was about to reach your side, were enough to distract you from the way both his arms remained hidden behind his back.
"Hey," you cooed, pressing a smiley peck to his mouth. "Didn't your last class end like two hours ago?"
"Just wanted to wait for you" he murmured, leaning in to steal another kiss — a proper one this time.
Good thing everyone had seemed to abandon the hallway by then.
Only when he failed to place a hand either on your cheek or your neck like he did whenever he kissed you for longer than five seconds, you realised his hands were too busy holding something behind his back.
"What have you got in there?" you asked with a raised, curious eyebrow.
"You'll have to find out" he smiled.
"I would if you just showed me" you tried to reach behind his back, only for him to take a step back like his life depended on it.
"Nope, we're doing this my way" he announced. "Choose a hand".
You stared at him like he was crazy, which only earned a loud whine from him.
"Babyyy~"
"Any hand?" you wondered.
"Mhm…"
"Okay…" you hesitated for a moment, finally reaching out to tap his left wrist. "This one".
Hyunjin smiled mischievously, humming a suspense song as he removed his left hand from his back and watched you expectantly stare at his fist while it faced down.
Only for it to later reveal an empty palm.
"Wrong hand, baby. Sorry".
"Yah!" you called him out. "You're such a tease, oh my God".
Your boyfriend laughed loudly, throwing his head back and letting you know just how much he was enjoying your current suffering. 
"I get nothing then?" you pouted.
Hyunjin pulled you towards him by your wrist. "You get a comfort kiss".
"Aw, but I already get to kiss you every time I want" you lamented.
"Hey, don't you dare take my kisses for granted now" his overly offended remark got a giggle out of you.
Not saying anything else, it was you the one to pull him into a kiss this time. 
The touch of your mouth against his was all he needed to forget about his previous dramatic antics, and the smile that curved up the corners of his plump lips as he kissed you back were all you needed to forget about the surprise altogether.
He wouldn't let you forget, though — pressing his mouth to yours a couple more times, enjoying every single second, before he finally pulled his right hand from behind his back.
Your eyes opened once you felt something tickle your neck, dumbfoundedly taking in where that itchy feel came from before they fixed on the bouquet of flowers he was now holding against your chest.
"Oh my—Hyunie…" you murmured, holding it in your hands. "They're beautiful".
"You like them?" he nervously asked.
"I love them!" you clarified, not being able to take your eyes away from them.
They were a mixture of pink, orange and yellow. There was also a purple one, and a bunch of smaller white ones. You could only tell there was a rose and a tulip, not really knowing the names of the rest, yet even then you couldn't be any more in love with how brightly and beautifully it all came together.
Looking up at him with what he was sure was one of the most adoring looks you had ever given him, you puckered your up lips for him to press a kiss to them. Hyunjin didn't have to think twice before he was leaning down enough for his mouth to press softly on yours.
You didn't know what had prompted this, but having him giving you flowers meant the world to you. So you let him know by resting your face on his chest and wrapping one of your arms around him.
"Wait, so you were carrying them around campus all this time?"
"Yeah…" he scratched the back of his neck. "People were staring at me like I was a hopeless romantic".
"And aren't you?" you teased him.
Hyunjin mimicked your words, tauntingly sticking his tongue out before you hushed him by placing your lips on his.
"You're the best," you whispered, kissing him once more. "Thank you".
He smiled, tracing his bottom lip with his thumb. "It was totally worth it".
You chuckled at his proud statement, taking one step forward so you could start walking to the bus stop, yet being stopped by his hand motioning to the backpack on your shoulder. Letting it slide down your arm and into his hand, you waited for him to place it over his shoulder before you wrapped your arms around his bicep — careful enough not to hurt your flowers as the two of you made your way to wait for the bus.
"What's the special occasion, though?"
"Do I need a special occasion to spoil my baby?"
"No…" you admitted. "But they are usually gifted during special moments, and we're just staying home tonight".
"It's a date even if we stay in stuffing our mouths and watching whatever movie we find" he chuckled. "I just wanted to spoil you. You said the other day that you had never been given flowers and I wanted to do that for you…"
You pouted, feeling your heart flutter at that. "I love you".
"I love you more" Hyunjin beamed. "Well, that and I also wanted to be the first one to ever give you flowers".
His shy yet somehow still confident confession earned a throaty laugh from you. "Trying to have some kind of claim on me, Hwang Hyunjin?"
"Mm…" he freed his arm from your hold and held you closer by your waist instead. "Maybe…"
"I'll let it slide because you're cute" you nodded. "And I wanna be the first one to give you flowers too now, so you just wait".
"The universe was the first one to give me flowers. Well, a flower. And it was you" he playfully pinched your side. "We already went through this last week, baby".
"What can I give you for the first time then?"
"A kiss would suffice" he hummed.
You let out a breathy laugh. "I think it's a bit late for that, baby".
"Okay, then…" his eyes looked up for a moment as he tried to come up with something. "I have never been given a kiss that lasted more than five minutes".
"Pretty sure we have done that, too".
"Longer than ten then".
You threw your head back, allowing a throaty laugh to escape your mouth before you once more stopped walking.
Cupping his face, you placed a loving kiss on the tip of his nose. "Just say you want to make out with me and go".

Nose Candy - Yandere!Nick Amaro x reader
summary: you and Nick do drugs together, but nothing ever goes as planned.
warnings: drug usage (cocaine), yelling, physical abuse
Tumblr media
After a long day at work, you and Nick were back in your shared apartment.
“You talked to Liv about taking the Sergeant’s exam, right? I think you have a good shot at—“ you began, but Nick cut you off.
“Yeah, I talked to her. Tucker told her they’d never promote me. I got nothing goin’ for me, (y/n),” he sighed.
You narrowed your eyes and shook your head.
“I’m sorry, babe. Is there anything I can do?” you offered, walking over to where your husband stood.
You ran your hand up and down his arm in an attempt to comfort him.
“You, uh, you got any snow?” Nick asked, smiling at you as he loosened his tie.
“Nick, are you sure?” you asked, biting the inside of your lip.
“Of course I’m sure, baby. Zara won’t be here to visit until next week. Let’s do it together, c’mon!” he urged, putting his hands out and bringing you into a hug.
“Okay, let me go and get it.”
You grabbed your small tin box from inside your underwear drawer. You always kept it hidden just in case Zara was over to visit Nick. You shut your drawer and went back into the living room.
You sat down on the couch next to Nick, hands trembling as you opened the tin.
You passed the razor blade and the small baggie of powder to Nick, who had a small mirror sitting on the table in front of him.
You rolled up the dollar bill and watched him cut the cocaine into a few thin lines.
Deep down, you knew how toxic this relationship was. You and Nick both had addictive personalities and a hard time saying no to anything when you were together.
You handed Nick the rolled-up bill and watched as he bent his head down to the mirror.
When it was your turn, Nick moved the mirror toward you and you bent down, using the dollar to snort the powder right up your nostril.
You cringed in pain as you felt your throat burning. It was only temporary, and Nick was rubbing your back gently as you began to feel the drug kicking in.
You moved so your head rested in Nick’s lap and your legs rested on the couch. Nick smiled down at you as he played with your hair.
“I feel sick,” you mumbled as the contents of your stomach groaned and made noise. You wriggled around to find a position of comfort.
“Get up, baby! We should have sex!” Nick laughed, moving you off of his lap and jumping up.
"C'mon, it'll be so much fun like this," he urged, grabbing your hands and attempting to yank you up.
"Nick, stop it, not right now," you groaned. A shiver ran up your spine, which made you feel anxious and jittery.
"You never want to fuck me, baby. Why is that? Am I just too ugly for you, after all the times I've been shot and punched and injured? Do I repulse you? Huh?" Nick yelled. He grabbed your arms and pulled hard, causing you to tumble off the couch with a groan.
"Get up! We're not done here!" he pointed at your trembling figure and snarled.
You shook your head. Tears threatened to spill from your eyes and you attempted to take a deep breath when Nick grabbed your neck, cutting off your air supply and forcing you into a standing position.
He stared at you in horror, letting go and allowing you to cough and sputter in an attempt to get more oxygen. He took a step toward you and you stepped back, shaking. You were terrified.
"I-I'm so sorry baby, I didn't—oh no," Nick gasped, staring down at his own hands in disbelief. Your neck now sported a red handprint, courtesy of him.
You watched as Nick's lips curled into a sob. A tear rolled down his cheek and he screwed his eyes shut, no longer able to look at you or his hands.
"Nick, it's okay. I'm not hurt, I promise," you assured your husband, gently putting your arm on his back and guiding him to the couch.
"I'm so sorry, babe. I never meant to— I don't want to be like my father. I'll never do it again, I promise," he vowed, looking deep into your eyes and taking your hands gently in his.
You wanted so badly to believe him, but you weren't sure just yet.

Life update since I've been off tumblr for the last few weeks!
I got to ride the new Top Thrill 2 this weekend before it opens to the public next weekend! It's so cool, and terrifying! The new renovation is insane!!
I also saw my favorite horror movie, Alien, in theaters for it's 45th anniversary!
Dobby has been sick as fuck. Had to be hospitalized for 2 days. But he's on the mend and getting better every day!
My brother is back in an in-patient ED clinic, but the only one his insurance will cover is ~2.5hrs away, so I've been making that trip weekly to see him. He's hopefully getting out next week, thankfully!!
As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of Toledo Women's basketball (been a season ticket holder since 2015 when I left college there!, my seat is the row directly behind the Toledo bench!), and it's been a whirlwind of a few weeks on that front. Our coach of 16 years left for the HC of Miami Hurricanes, and took 2/3 of our assistants with her. I'm so happy for her, because she has given our community SO much success, and she's basically done everything she can at a mid-major school like Toledo. We're all so excited to see her continue to achieve success at the U, and hopefully be able to make a deep Tournament run!!
One of our best players just graduated, and it's been so cool watching her play! She got signed to the WNBA Training Camp roster for the Minnesota Lynx! This week is training camp, so next week we might know if she officially makes the full wnba roster!
Work has been... goin. End of the school year means lots of meetings and prep for the IT department, as we are full year employees, and have a lot to do this summer! State testing went well for the kids (at least on my depts front). It's so weird that kids nowadays exclusively test on chromebooks, no paper/pencil, for everything from state testing, to ACT, to exams.
I THINK that's a good recap for now!

Recollections and Heartfelt Wishes 1
Writer: Mitsuki
Character(s): Oogami Koga, Kiryu Kuro, Nito Nazuna
Translated by: jewwyfeesh
CN/EN Proof by: stcrfeesh
Koga: (……Huh. I didn’t know that the expression I made back then was such a happy one.)
Tumblr media
Time: End June Season: Summer Location: Yumenosaki Academy Library
Tumblr media
Koga: …………
(Even though I’m not used to the overly silent atmosphere of the library, there’s really been too many annoyin’ things goin’ on lately… some peace and quiet ain’t so bad after all.)
(I heard from Adonis that this exam’s pretty important. I don’t wanna have to retake the exam or anythin’, so I better buckle up and review a li’l.)
(Sigh, turns out sittin’ here studyin’ alone in earnest is actually quite boring~ if there were someone to tutor me or whatever, it would make things a li’l better.)
Tumblr media
(It’s such a pity that those guys got their own things to do, so there’s nothin’ I can do but to trudge on on my own. Anyways, when it comes to things like exams… all I need to do is pass, right?)
Tumblr media
(Yaaa~wn… All of these densely packed words in the textbook… I can’t help but feel drowsy the more I look at ‘em…)
[An unknown amount of time later]
Tumblr media
……
—Aah… achoo!
……? I… I fell asleep? Anzu, were ya the one who woke me up?
Oh, yer lookin’ for some inspiration for some projects, eh? That’s why yer in the library to look for materials from all the previous years’ ‘RepayFes’.
But ‘cause no one’s browsed these yearbooks in a long time, it’s already hella dusty, so ya took a hankerchief to wipe ‘em… no wonder I felt my nose gettin’ kinda itchy and wanted to sneeze.
Since ya hadn’t done it on purpose, there ain’t a need for ya to say sorry or anythin’. Seriously, I really didn’t think I’d waste the whole afternoon fallin’ asleep like this.
Hm? Ya’ve been starin’ at those photos fer quite a long time, is there somethin’ wrong with ‘em? Lemme see—
Tumblr media
Hold on, aren’t these the photos of the unit Sakuma-senpai, Shitty Glasses and I had formed?
I thought all those rottin’ old stuff would’ve been thrown out eons ago. Hadn’t expected that they’d be kept here…
Yer askin’ if that Unit’s called ‘DEADMANS’? How did’ya know?
Oh, I remember now. In the previous ‘RepayFes’, Sakuma-senpai n’ the rest of ‘em used the ‘DEADMANS’ name to kick up a big fuss. Didn’tcha run over to produce for them too?
Tumblr media
Hmph, so that’s what happened. Whoever’s cleanin’ it up probably saw those two outfits and thought the styles were pretty similar or whatever, then mistakenly grouped ‘em together with those from ‘RepayFes’.
Whatever. ‘m in no mood to continue studyin’ now, so I’ll help ya sort these out.
Tumblr media
(……Huh. I didn’t know that the expression I made back then was such a happy one.)
(After the events of ‘RepayFes’, I had thought we UNDEAD had finally managed to communicate our feelings and intentions, and, from that day on, would continue on forever……)
(But after the seniors graduated, the distance between us seemed to only get bigger and bigger; our movements are always clumsy, and we’re unable to cooperate well.)
Tumblr media
(Ugh! I don’t even know where the hell did the problem even come from!)
……Hey, Anzu. Could’ya lend me these photos for me ta go develop ‘em? After developin’ I’ll return them to ya.
It’s just that I thought these photos made me look real handsome, and wanted to keep ‘em as a souvenir. Don’tcha think too much ‘bout it, kay?
[The next day, in the Seishou Hall Common Rooms]
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Kuro-chin~! You’ve been sitting there in front of the TV with such seriousness, is there a show you wanna watch being broadcasted soon?
Kuro: Oh, it’s you, Nito. I heard from the agency that they’re intendin’ to give us some work relatin’ to variety shows. Since ‘m kinda free today, thought it would be good to watch some relevant programmes to get an idea ‘bout it.
After all, Akatsuki has no experience in workin’ these types of jobs. In order to adapt to the increasingly diverse idol industry, it’s necessary to try and venture into other fields outside of concert and performance.
Especially after joining RhyLink, we Akatsuki have yet to receive any sort of job. That’s why I had thought it would be a good idea for me to use this time to prep.
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Haha, with the ever-reliable Kuro-chin around, I’m super sure y’all will be fine!
Ah, right! Speaking of variety shows, I remember Rei-chin and Kaoru-chin recently participated in one, right? We could watch that!
Kuro: Oh, that’s a pretty good suggestion. As idols from the same agency, the variety shows they’ve attended would be better suited fer reference material.
Nazuna: Hm… I didn’t think that both of them would adopt this kinda style for a variety show. It’s completely different from my impression of UNDEAD – being too immoral and all.
Tumblr media
Kuro: It’s somethin’ I’ve heard Hasumi bring up before. UNDEAD’s been tryna change their image since Spring; probably ‘cause they’re hopin’ to expand the fanbase and be more flexible when it comes to jobs they take on.
Nazuna: Everyone’s working hard to move forward in the world of idols~ To be honest, Ra*bits is also facing a similar issue… we’re looking to explore other charm points that aren’t just putting up a cutesy act or acting cute.
Hm, back to the topic… Even though this show pokes fun at the guests, because the program is well written and the jokes are appropriately paced, it doesn’t feel like the guests are being made into laughing-stocks at all, which is really good!
Kuro: Yeah. I do feel a li’l more relieved. Seems like veteran agencies have more resources an’ experience when it comes to these things, and have a more developed system for matchin’ idols.
I think RhyLink has dealt with the issue of mismatch between an idol’s style compared to variety shows many times before, so it can match each “unit” to the right job rather easily now.
Tumblr media
Though, the most pressin’ problem Akatsuki currently faces is the lack of suitable jobs – which, if yer look at it from another viewpoint, could also be due to the hostility veteran agencies have for newcomers.
Resources were already divided by those that came before, so when it’s finally the newbies’ turn, they’re left with scraps – unpleasant jobs that no one wants. Variety shows like these aren’t something that’ll drop in the palm of yer hands just cause yer wanted them.
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Even though that’s true, I still think that Kuro-chin’s pretty suitable for a variety show.
On stage, it’s especially hard to showcase the contrast between Kuro-chin’s appearance and your kind and caring personality, but it’ll definitely be much easier on a recorded program! The more I think about it, the more expectant I become ♪
Kuro: Haha, if ya praise me all of a sudden, I’ll get embarrassed… Come on, let’s go back to watchin’ the variety show. The upcomin’ segment seems to be particularly interestin’.
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Pfft… I really hadn’t expected Rei-chin to be so hilarious, I’m ‘bout to cry from laughing so hard~
Tumblr media
Koga: (Eh? Did I just hear Sakuma-senpai and Hakaze-senpai’s voices…? I thought they’re outside for a job today, how could they have returned to Seishou Hall so fast?)
Tumblr media
…Oh. Huh. Turns out it came from the television.
Nazuna: Koga-chin? Wanna join us? We’re watching some variety shows featuring Rei-chin and Kaoru-chin ♪
Tumblr media
Koga: Variety show…?
Tumblr media
Hmph, those borin’ shows? What’s so good about them?! What a disappointment. I’m headin’ back to my dorm first.
Tumblr media
Nazuna & Kuro: ……?

Fnaf SB school pov: you’re Monty’s classmate and you have school anxiety, but no one knows.
Y/n: *shake your pen nervously between your fingers* ...
Monty: ..Why the fuck are you wavin’ yer pen like that? Are you tryin’ to poke me in the eye?
Y/n: Oh hum, s-sorry Monty.
Monty : Hm..? Yeah, whatever.. *what kind of reaction is that? She would have insulted me under normal circumstances*
[a few moments later]
Y/b: Sir, can I please go outside? I’m not feeling very well..
Teacher: ..Right. Montgomery, please go with her.
Monty: ‘Kay. *stands up and follows Y/n*
~ In the hallway ~
Monty: So, what the fuck is goin’ on? *cross his arms* Yer stomach hurt or somethin’ like that? You want to go to the bath-
Y/n: *starts crying*
Monty: Hm?... *crouches in front of her*.. Hey, what’s the matter? Why are you cryin’?
Y/n: We have an exam in 2 days...
Monty: ......It’s an exam that puts ya in that state?
Y/n: It’s hard enough to come here every day, so a fucking exam....
Monty: Yeah, well, It’s hard for me too, but I don’t cry about it.
Y/n: You don’t understand...
Monty: *raises an eyebrow* Understand what? That you hate comin’ to class? Ya really think I don’t underst-
Y/n: *closes Monty’s jaws with her hand* It’s not just that I don’t like school, moron. Do you really think I’d put myself through that?
Monty: *removes Y/n’s hand* Yeah, well, talk to me then. I’m not Chica or fuckin’ papa bear Fazbear, in case you haven’t noticed. I don’t read between the lines.
Y/n: *provokes him* You don’t read at all.
Monty: *eyeroll* Ah ah. Super funny. I do the jokes here, not ya.
Y/n: *eyeroll with a small smile* Yeah, yeah, whatever. *looks at Monty and sigh* ... I have anxiety.
Monty: ...You have wha’?
Y/n: Anxiety. Monty, you don’t know what this is?
Monty: Uh.. Nah, not really.
Y/n: Jeez.... *blased* Anxiety is when you’re hyper-stressed all the time or almost all the time, for a very specific reason or not.
Monty: Hm... And what are ya stressed about? If yer manicure’s well done?
Y/n: ...
Monty: I’m just jokin’, relax.
Y/n: It’s the school that stresses me out.
Monty: Someone botherin’ you?
Y/n: No, not at all. And I know how to defend myself. It’s just.... The environment. It makes me uncomfortable.
Monty: Hm. It’s true that it’s a shitty school.
Y/n: I’d feel the same way in any school.
Monty: ...I have an idea. Don’t move. *returns to class*
Y/n: ....Okay..?
Monty: *comes back to Y/n*
Y/n: What were you do-
Monty: Here. *hands you a toy* Take that.
Y/n: *take the toy* ..... It’s a... Weird, Helpy toy?
Monty: Yeah, but no. Not only that. It's an anti-stress thing, apparently.
Y/n: "Apparently"?
Monty: *raises his shoulders* That’s what I’ve been told.
Y/n: How did you get that? ... It’s kinda cute, tho.
Monty: It was a gift from Chica to "help me deal with my anger issues". *smirk*
Y/n: Oh... And so, you’re giving me Chica’s present?
Monty: Yeah, cuz she’s given me plenty more in the meantime. The one yer holdin’ is one of the few I didn’t break. Chica loves to give me these stupid things.
Y/n: Stupid things you keep in your backpack anyway.
Monty: Yeah, well, I guess it kinds of works. It ... relaxes. And at least I don’t have to smash anyone’s face in.
Y/n: Well... *smiles* Thanks Monty. That’s really sweet. Especially coming from you.
Monty: *embarassed* Yeah, yeah. No need to make a big deal about it.
Y/n: *stands up*
Monty: And uh.. If you could avoid talkin’ about what I gave ya...
Y/n: *smiles at him* Don’t worry. I had no intention of telling anyone. I know you value your reputation as a "violent, emotionless bad gator". *laugh and go back to class*
Monty: *eyeroll* Tsss. *returns in class with hands in pockets*

Arc Twp 107
Nyota held Tarvei tight for a long moment. “Before that, Vei,” she said as she finally let go and leaned back, “we have others to catch up. Can I ask a favor of you?”
“As long as it doesn’t involve messing with your medic.” Tarvei pulled a face. “He threatened to shave me if I wore you out, and I don’t want to test if he’d make good on that.”
Nyota laughed. “Don’t mind Lumen. He’s mostly bark there.”
Vei looked nervous. “You sure on that?”
She grinned, feeling the old mischief tickle at her fangs again. It had been quite a while. “He knows I’ll make him clean up the mess.”
That got a good chuckle, and Tarvei relaxed a little. “What a cruel captain you are, sis, threatening them with manual labor like that.”
Nyota settled comfortably back into her pillow with a wicked conspirator’s smirk. “If it makes them clean up their acts…”
Lumen poked his head in with a cross little crackle. “Hey now, who’s hootin’ like a howler in here? Vei, I told ya not to get the lady worked up—wait, she got you laughin’?”
Namina leaned in over Lumen and rested his head on the novakid’s head. “Ape-sprout laughs like ssscreaming monkey?”
“Sprout yourself,” Vei wheezed as he caught his breath. “I’m taller than you.”
Namina gave him his widest and toothiest grin. “Sssprout is state of mind, Ssprout.”
Lumen reached up to tap the floran’s nose and missed. “Which ya ain’t got, huh? Move yer spiky noggin, Ferny. I ain’t a chin rest.”
Namina complied only long enough to fold his hands under his chin as a makeshift cushion. Lumen sighed and resigned himself to his fate. “So what got ya goin’ like that, anyway? We could hear ya out in the kitchen. Darn near made Eldie drop the muffins.”
“Oops, sorry about that,” Vei said with a sheepish little grin. “Wait, why am I apologizing? It was Nyota’s pun.”
Lumen studied both of them and nodded solemnly. “A pun from the lady, eh? Ya don’t need to tell it, I can guess how bad she made it.”
Vei snorted and swatted his sister’s shoulder. “Wow, you’ve got a rep and everything?”
Nyota made a very good effort at looking prim and noble, despite her pajamas and extremely unkempt mane. “I must make our people proud somehow. But since I have my doctor here—”
“Medic,” Lumen insisted. “I ain’t right to be a doctor, just medic’ll do.”
She bowed her head slightly. “Very well, medic,” she conceded. “I had a request for Tarvei, but it probably does need your approval. I need to visit Marcy. I have a favor to ask her, and it’s better done in person.”
Lumen hummed and shook his head. “I’ll have to give ya another exam to be sure, but I’d say ya need another week or so restin’ before ya head out, first. That cold did nasty work on yer lungs, and even my good stuff can only patch them up so fast.”
Nyota sighed, and the faint but sharp pain in her throat and chest told her that he was right. “And the heavy salt air of the port town would not be good for healing, I think. Very well… But I want to speak with her, at least. I need to reassure her that I’m alright.” Her promise itched at her throat under the pain, and Nyota pressed a hand to her collarbone to keep the words steady. “She has spent enough time being afraid for me.”
Namina shrugged. “Easy fix, why ssee there? Ssee here, make Doc Lightss happy, make Captain happy, make friend happy. Profit.”
That drew a small laugh out of her. “I don’t plan to make any pixels off of this, but that’s a good point, Namina. Tarvei, I’ll revise my favor. Can you bring my laptop? It should be on my worktable near SAIL’s console. It’s best if I ask her myself.”

February 27, 2023
IT’S OFFICIAL AHHHHHH THE GRADUATE SCHOOL APPROVED MY ADMISSION IM OFFICIALLY INTO MY CHOICE EEEEEE!!!!!  My potential advisor called me right after class to share the news and and the department chair sent me a cute email and oh boy I just really wish they were bringing me up sooner because I promised myself I wouldn’t make a decision until after I visited and now I can’t do so for a whole ‘nother month (luckily the dates don’t mess with anything else (exams, performances, rehearsals, etc)).  It doesn’t feel fair to my Choice F to string them along like this but I’m going to stick to my guns on this one.  Visiting is a really important component of my decision-making process.  If the vibes are off (and I suspect they won’t be, but I’ve been surprised before), then I ain’t goin.
Also!  The girl I met during my Choice B interview (and who also applied to and interviewed with my Choice C (arguably the best bioanth program in the country, but also I’m very biased), and in both cases we applied to work with the same person) ended up getting into the Choice C (but not my Choice B) program that we applied to which, without going into specific details, means I am likely waitlisted for the program (waitlisted at least.. it’s possible that my acceptance to Choice B precludes me from the Choice C program altogether).  Which means I’m six-for-seven, sort of.  Not a bad record.  Not bad at all.
I started my Star Trek book on a whim just because I wanted to and oh my god Jean-Luc is such a lady’s man.  Women are falling over this balding French dude.  And, you know, maybe I get it.  He’s got this amazing and slightly mysterious past as a renowned captain in starfleet, so he’s disciplined and commanding and good with words and he cares a lot even if he pretends not to.  It’s just so funny to me idk.
Speaking of old/middle-aged men, I’m starting to think that the Pedro Pascal thing is a marketing ploy.  I’m beginning to think that dvcree is an industry plant.  I try very hard to distance myself from marketing, but this feels a little too ridiculous to not be a ploy that’s gotten out of hand.  Is he cute?  ...ya maybe, sure.  That said, I started watching The Last of Us this past weekend while doing my hair, and oh my god????  I don’t really watch zombie stuff and I definitely haven’t played the game, but this show is literally so good.  I also tend not to watch TV-MA stuff from HBO because I’m what I like to call soft-hearted and can’t really handle excessive violence or gore, but this show presents enough action and violence to be exciting without being overzealous with the blood n guts n stuff.  I love Ellie, Joel is fantastic, every single episode rips my heart out, and I can’t get enough.  Episode 5 came out last night but I’ve got two exams tomorrow and a busy day today, so...
To switch gears, just a bit of a hair rant.  Wanted to do 18″ senegalese twists for the next three weeks which I’ve never done before, and they’re not coming out the way I’d hoped.  My feed-in technique is great, but my own hair blown-out is ~18″ in most places, so the ends don’t seal well at all, meaning the twists are coming undone or are generally a lot looser than I’d wanted.  I think passion twists or marley twists would’ve been more forgiving considering their textures, but they’re uh.. they’re a little more uh.. ethnic.. than I was going for, considering that I have a few uni trips coming up.  The only redeeming feature is that these senegalese twists are quick.  Much quicker than knotless braids.  Maybe I should’ve done 24″ to guarantee that seal, but I really like how conservative the 18″ length looks.  While it’s kind of annoying in this particular situation, I honestly like how long my own hair seems to be getting, and my haircare is regularly improving in efficiency (...though one of these days I’m going to have to suck it up and deep condition which I haven’t done in years, opting for just a regular leave-in... so while efficiency is improving, the techniques could still use work).  And I say “long” fully recognizing that shrinkage will make my hair look like it’s a half to a third of its actual length :/  One of these days I’m going to go for a straightening, my first one in... six years, just to see the full length on display.  Maybe for the first days of grad school...
Today I’m thankful for the formal my photo-friend and I went to last night.  They’d run out of real food by the time we arrived, so we gorged ourselves on strawberry shortcake.  We took some photos and I felt thoroughly attractive, even if my hair was less than optimal (my parts are clean and it hangs down so it looks good from afar which is what matters tbh).  
Today I’m also (obvi) thankful for the admit!!  Like,,,,, this kind of thing is something I’ve been reaching for my entire life.  And while I feel partly as though I’ve lucked into it, I’m also so happy that all the work I’ve put into this whole thing is paying off.  I’ll let the imposter syndrome come later.  Right now, I just wanna bask (for a little bit, at least, as I’ve got rehearsals and exams and meetings galore this week).
Well, if I’m honest, I’m looking forward to not writing/ranting about grad apps every entry.  I can feel it, that day is close.
man im so tired.
