This is part of my 2k milestone celebration! Here is the post for the drabble game! 🤍 (requests are closed!!)
♡・2k celebration masterlist・♡
"Jungkook," you say his name a bit in a scolding way, but the smile gracing your features tells otherwise. You pull your clothes out of the drier, folding them neatly on top of the machine before dropping them in your basket. "I don't know, it's... it's not-"
He interrupts you as you stay indecisive, his eyes round and so, so filled with hope. He helps you fold your clothes while you're talking together. This time he stops after having dropped your folded jeans in the basket, gently grabbing your bicep to make you face him.
"Just... why not?" He softly asks, your eyes finally meeting him. You still haven't folded the piece of clothing you're holding, but you look at him anyway. "One date, that's it! Nothing more if you don't want to, but if you want... you know I wouldn't mind," he grins and you can't help but do the same.
You sigh, defeated, because there's really nothing holding you back other than yourself. You would like to, but you keep overthinking.
"But what happens after? You'll still be friends with Jimin and..." You bite down on your lip, stopping mid-sentence, not sure what you're worrying about exactly.
The past, maybe. The implications, the consequences, how you'll see yourself after that. Things with Jungkook started being different when you came back for the summer break. You haven't seen him in years because you were studying abroad and seeing him again is, to say the least, special.
Jungkook is someone very loyal, he stayed in contact with your brother and made plans the minute he knew Jimin was back in town for the summer.
The loyalty he has for your brother you would have never noticed it before, but now it does something to you. You like it, you like that he doesn't forget years of friendship, that it still means a lot to him.
"And what? Jimin's a big boy," Jungkook justifies. "And so am I," he adds, making you smile. He is a big boy, that's for sure. "We'll handle it."
You look into his eyes when he says those words, staring back at you with a serious expression. He often laughs, but you know it when he speaks seriously, like right now.
You think for a moment, a short moment, comparing the pros and cons. You realize the cons are just things you worry could happen, that you're not even sure they would end up being true. Thinking twice, you don't think it's worth it to rely on the cons.
"The real question is... can you handle me?" You flirt and Jungkook surely likes this.
He smirks, his eyes looking at you up and down. Before, he would have responded no, that he can't handle you, that you're too good — too much — for him.
But now, heck yes he can.
He steps closer and takes your right hand, a stupid little grin on his face. "Can you..." He begins, passing your hand under his tank top, your fingers brushing against his abs. "Handle that?"
You're surprised, but you appreciate how he's blunt with you, not scared at all to shoot his shot. You voluntarily don't take your hand away immediately, though you remember you're not exactly in a private place.
"Jungkook!" You scold, but still giggle it off.
"Don't reject me," he pouts, and he genuinely looks sad.
You sigh again, knowing you don't really want to refuse his proposition. You enjoy his presence, he's funny and he always manages to make you laugh even when you're not feeling well.
He's an adult and so much more mature than other guys your age. He's attractive, so kind and attentive. He's a good man and Jungkook's right, it doesn't matter what others will think — aka Jimin.
"Okay. Go for a date."

⊹˚.⋆ GOING THROUGH KATSUKI'S PHONE - MY HERO ACADEMIA
Tumblr media
℘. flora's notes : i love u w my whole heart bro, i hope u like this 💓, also i uh made that playlist for your fictional bf and that's what took the longest in this fic u better enjoy it mf AND I kinda switched up the request I hope it's okay
℘. yes katsuki : listens to taylor swift, one direction and disney songs in secret
℘. infos : this is apart of my 2k event ! feel free to join :) fem reader.
℘. genre : pure fluff, the title is kinda misleading katsuki is not cheating and would never but he has his simp side hidden in his phone
m.list | comment and reblog if u enjoyed !
Tumblr media
you were waiting for your boyfriend to come back from sparring. katsuki gave you a spare key of his dorm for you to use whenever you needed. you were one of the privileged ones who he let into his personal space. you knew he was a private person and so you could not help but feel proud that he trusted you this way.
the door burst open and your delicate boyfriend entered. he heavily sighed and put his bag down on the floor. you sat up on his bed expectantly, waiting for him to give you attention. he turned around and saw you on his bed, which caused a gasp to escape his mouth... he was just not expecting you there.
"you scared the shit out of me dumbass, next time send a text instead of being on tik tok or whatever you do on that shitty phone", he walked over to you, kissed your forehead and stroke the back of your head with his hand. "I'll go take a shower, make yourself comfortable." he started walking towards his bathroom and right before getting in, he added : "not like you didn't already, you're a little invader I got some of your shit everywhere".
he would never admit it because, well, katsuki hates his feelings but he loves finding little pieces of you in his dorm room. scrunchies that smell like your shampoo, socks, skincare products or even left-over makeup. he cherished those items, each one of them reminded him of a memory he shared with you. the thought of you never failed to make him smile.
you heard the soft buzz of his phone in his bag and decided to take a look. you trust katsuki, he never made anything to make you doubt him and you knew he never would, he dates to marry. you were not expecting any other woman in his dms but Mina, and she has a girlfriend. but curiosity got the best of you and you wanted to see what was hidden in his phone. you first looked at the text he received, it was from Kirishima. "Denki is trying to make an impression of you looking at y/n bro and even Shoto is laughing 💀". Denki often made fun of Bakugo for being a "simp" and looking at you with "puppy eyes" which your boyfriend never ceases to deny. he did impressions of him so often that you could almost picture his act through the phone.
then you went to "notes", they were all locked but you were not surprised, your boyfriend is kind of paranoid sometimes... you tried to put your birthdate in the first one and it unlocked. "things i wish i could tell y/n", was written at the top. katsuki had troubles opening up and communicating with you because he feels weak for having feelings, you hesitated on reading its content. all things considered, you thought it would help you understand him better.
" - i love her, like the kind of love you see in movies. the one i thought didn't exist. like it's fucking stupid to write that shit in my notes but i need to get it out somehow.
- i think ill marry her if one day i get the balls to propose.
- i admire her patience, i can't help but think that going out with me is exhausting. i have a hard time controlling my emotions and i feel like she carries my brain at this point.
- i wish i could spend more time with her, but she probably needs personal space. i left her a key of my dorm, that's stupid too, but i like the idea of her spending time in my room because then it feels more of a home to me.
- i want her to feel like she's the most perfect girl I've ever met, because she is. but I care too much about people's opinion to do that. i am trying as hard as i can to be a good boyfriend but i never feel like it's enough. i don't show her off enough, i don't hold her enough, i don't talk about her enough because I'm scared shitless of falling in love and having it ruin the shell i took so long to build. and denki making fun of me for being a simp doesn't fucking help.
istg if anyone reads this I'll off myself"
you felt a bit guilty, it was more personal than you expected, and you swore not to EVER tell him about this, but it put your mind to rest. katsuki is not an easy boyfriend. he's not easy to comprehend but you love every part of him. you are willing to wait for however long it will take for him to tell you this face to face.
you heard the shower stop, you knew he would exit the bathroom any minute now, but there was one last app you wished to check, his Spotify. he had 2 playlists, his liked songs - 3 452 songs of various genres - put together in one same playlist. you sighed at how disorganized your boyfriend could be at times. and then, there was one with your name "y/n💌"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
your mouth was wide open and you felt like screaming. you won at life bro, your boyfriend had a playlist dedicated to YOU. your face still had the same expression when katsuki came out of the bathroom.
- "what's with the face dumbass ? you saw a ghost or something ? "
- "you have a playlist for me" you gave him a toothy smile, which he returned.
- "yeah it's whatever, when i like, take a shower or something. DON'T TELL ANYONE" he shouted as he sat beside you. "you didn't look at anything else, right ?", your heart clenched in your chest, you didn't want to embarrass him by admitting you read his note for you.
- "Denki just sent you a text" you smiled innocently. you took his hand into yours "Katsuki, I love you and you're enough okay. Don't ever doubt yourself, I chose you for a reason" you softly told him while stroking his cheek with your free hand.
- "I KNEW YOU READ IT YOU NOISY ASS. but I'm glad you did it was kind of... heavy on me." he sighed, paused for a moment, relaxing into your touch. "i really love you y/n, I don't say it enough but I really do. love scares the shit out of me. you have the power to destroy my heart and you know how much of a control freak i can be. I trust you with my weaknesses, don't use then against me... please"

As he walked across the Murphy Center stage Friday, May 3, to receive his doctorate in literacy studies — his fourth MTSU degree — Perry Louden Jr. of Woodbury, Tennessee, completed a 30-year academic journey sprung from the gritty determination of a high school dropout who is now a veteran Rutherford County Schools teacher.
“Looking back to where I was to where I am now, it’s just night and day,” said Louden, one of 384 graduate students who received advanced degrees Friday inside Murphy Center, the first of three spring 2019 commencement ceremonies at the university.
Louden, who was hooded by Dr. Cyrille Magne, an MTSU associate professor in literacy studies, listened with fellow graduates as keynote speaker Judith Iriarte-Gross, MTSU chemistry professor and Career Achievement Award winner, told them that being inquisitive and asking questions has been and will continue to be a key component of their success.
“You might recall a faculty member telling your class that ‘there is no such thing as a stupid question.’ I agree. There is no such thing as a stupid question,” she said. “You have moved forward by asking questions.”
MTSU will award 2,529 degrees overall after Saturday’s two undergraduate ceremonies in Hale Arena inside Murphy Center. MTSU Board of Trustees member and executive vice president, chief administrative officer and chief risk officer of Bridgestone Americas Inc. Christine Karbowiak and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee are the special speakers at the Saturday morning and afternoon ceremonies, respectively.
MTSU’s Registrar’s Office reported that the students receiving their degrees this spring include 2,145 undergraduates and 384 graduate students. The graduate degree recipients include 331 master’s candidates, 32 education-specialist recipients and 21 doctoral candidates, and three students will receive graduate certificates.
Louden wasn’t always a likely candidate to be among those graduates.
After failing 11th grade English in 1985, Louden quit high school. He took and passed the GED exam, then enrolled in Volunteer State Community College for remedial English and math classes. Next came a transfer to Tennessee Tech for an associate degree in criminal justice, then a bachelor’s degree in that same field at MTSU in the early 1990s.
That period also marked of the first of his two deployments to the Middle East as part of the U.S. Army Reserve; the second came in the mid-2000s. In between, Louden changed career fields to elementary education, eventually getting his teaching license in 2000 and his master’s in special education in 2006 through the MTSU College of Education. By 2013, he also had his Ed.S. in Curriculum and Instruction and would later be accepted into the interdisciplinary Literacy Studies Ph.D. Program.
“I enjoy teaching reading and tutor on the side,” Louden said of his decision to pursue literacy studies. “I’m not a great reader myself. It took me a while, so I’d like to kind of give back a little bit to the younger students I have to help them get better at reading so that they can enjoy it.”
For the past 19 years Louden has taught at Rockvale Elementary and Rockvale Middle. He remembers a time when, as a young adult, his reading and writing levels were on par with that of the middle schoolers he now instructs.
Louden said his support system — which includes his wife, Becki, close friends and MTSU faculty — “kept me focused and driving on.” His military experience was also critical to his success; he retired in 2007 from the Army Reserve as a sergeant first class. His wife later served in Iraq, and Louden spent some of that time earning a master’s degree in Christian studies from Lipscomb University in 2009.
A naturally shy person, Louden admitted the military “really pushed me out there to do what I needed to do when I needed to do it.” He said that included facing his struggles with statistics classes while he pursued his doctorate and seeking support services at MTSU to help him overcome his challenges.
Louden advised those wondering if such a journey is also possible for them that “taking little steps at a time” will help “… find out a way to overcome those obstacles.”
MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee praised graduates for achieving such an important milestone and encouraged them, as they pursue their careers, to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge they now possess.
“Our broad-based approach to higher education distinguishes your university as a resource for more than solely technical training,” he said. “And it has prepared you not only for your first job but also for jobs that have not yet been created.”
Iriarte-Gross, a longtime champion of increasing women and girls’ involvement in STEM fields, went through a laundry list of potential questions facing the newest university alumni as they embark on their careers, including: “Do I want to work in the public or private sector? Do I want to start my own business? Does the job require frequent travel?”
“Asking questions leads to success. To date, you have asked the right questions and your reward is your graduate degree,” she said. “Congratulations!”

HP Best Friend Headcanon: Somehow I think Pansy Parkinson?? 
You obviously aren’t in the same house, but you take the same astrology class, and you two do homework together on the astrology tower at night, you ramble on and on about the stars and constellations and she smirks and draws impeccably straight perfect lines on her star charts like how
Once over summer vacation you sent her a letter with glitter dusted all over the envelope and she hexed her reply so that you have the same Celestina Warbeck song stuck in your head all week
She thinks this is torture but little does she know that you have been singing the same song in the shower anyway and having the entire background orchestra playing in your head is great
After school starts again she tells you that she literally went through the entire Parkinson private library to find that hex
You tease her for her crush on Draco, she throws her tube of lipstick at you
You take the same tube of lipstick to give her a makeover after she got rejected by Draco (again) and cried for half an hour 
When you are both in the fourth year and you start to get insecure about how young you look (compared to the majestic creature Pansy is becoming), she takes you shopping 
She has a sweet tooth just as massive as yours but she would rather die than admit it, so you buy half your weight in candy at Honeydukes and sneak her into your dorm to eat them together 
Your roommates, specifically Hermione, stare her down when she drops the wrappers on the floor and makes no attempts to clean them up (because house elves are around) (also because you’ve been babying her way too much) 
She cleans up after herself and apologizes
Somehow every potion you make comes out glittery in complexion and emits glittery steam. They still work, but Snape hates it, but you can’t do anything about it. So Pansy helps you with writing your essays exactly the way Snape wants so your paper assignment grades make up for the points lost over the potions
Her friends don’t understand why you two are friends but are cordial to you anyway, except Blaise
It’s not until sixth year that she tells you Blaise had a ginormous crush on you for the longest time, and the entire Slytherin year was betting under the table when he would successfully ask you out 
Pansy wins because she wagered “never” because she knows you too well 
You two split the money and bought enough matching quills to last you years
You hold her hand and tell her stupid knock knock jokes when her parents rejoin the Death Eaters and she has nightmares of them being killed by aurors 
When boys thinks it’s okay to catcall you she throws curses at them like knives, even before you have the time to draw your own wand 
She supports every decision you make and you support hers, even though you are very different people 
This went a lot longer than I expected but I love you and I love Pansy and I love this beautiful imaginary friendship
Join my 300 celebration! (I’m just gonna keep this open until I hit my next milestone)
