A/N: Sorry, but this has been living in my brain rent free too, my commission info is here

* Honey if you’re tall with a big butt-

* You’ve got his heart the second he lays eyes on you

* Like everything he is and everything he will be -

* Baby you can have it all if you’ll agree to be his

* If you’re not tall with a big butt, well don’t worry Yuuji’s still going to adore you it just takes a little time

* It’s not so much because he doesn’t think your smoking hot or anything-

* It’s just, well, Yuji’s kinda dumb

* So anyone outside of his immediate go-to type, it just doesn’t register in his brain

* You can bet your ass he’ll say dumb crap like-

* “Friends can hold hands right?”

* Or

* “Friends kiss sometimes, no big deal!”

* But don’t worry babe, it might take a little while, but eventually he’ll notice all these feelings he’s been categorizing as “friendly” feelings and “positive” feelings are actually Romantic feelings

* Once he finally figures it out, you won’t have to wait long-

* “Oi, (Y/N/N), want to be my lover?”

* Like seriously, not even a second after he has this ‘monumental’ realization

* After that things are pretty easy between you two

* It’s not like much has changed, he’s still your friend, and he doesn’t act any different-

* You guys were holding hands and, apparently, kissing before you were officially dating

* It’s not even that he’s greedy with the way he touches you or anything-

* I think the only thing that does change is that Yuji makes an effort to spend more time with you

* “Oi, wanna go to Shibuya this weekend? There’s a Taiyaki store I’m dying to go too”

* He makes an effort to spend time with you even when he’s not around, like sending you texts and voicemails when he’s away

* Part of the reason he’s so insistent on spending as much time with you as possible is probably because he’s not sure how much time he has left

* I think, Yuji is a really simple guy who sees the good in everyone, so he’s also kind of attracted to anyone given the right circumstances

* But I think, he especially wants someone compassionate

* Someone who will hold him during depressive episodes where he’ll wonder- what if I hadn’t joined the occult club? What if he had played track like everyone wanted? What if he had just minded his own business

* What if Megumi hadn’t followed him to the hospital that day, how different would his life be right now

* And it’s the same regret and remorse that fuels his cursed energy, but for some reason it feels like it’s magnified right now

* It feels like he might drown in this despair

* During those days you just hold him, whispering good things about the world.

* Soft things that’ll help him right now-

* Something to give him hope

* “Hot tea on a cold day” you whisper

* “The feeling of basking in sunlight after a cloudy day”

* There’s a moment of silence as you think of something else to say

* “The smell of rain, and fresh cut grass” he’ll mumble back, and you grin

* “Getting Taiyaki in Shibuya with someone you love” you reply with a grin

* “With ice cream filling and boba?”

* You laugh, what a weird combination

* “Anything you want”

* Yuji’s not the one that’s hard to get along with tbh, the one you have trouble with is Sukuna

* “You know you’ll never save him, I don’t know why you’re trying so hard”

* You would hit Sukuna if it didn’t mean slapping Yuji’s cheek too

* “Shut up what do you know”

* Honestly Yuuji’s a little surprised at the hatred Sukuna shows you

* “Shouldn’t you be happy they’re around?”

* For one because you’re around there’s been more *clears throat* romantic incidents, which of course always leave Yuji in a pretty vulnerable state

* He’s only an orgasm away from having Sukuna take over tbh

* And besides-

* You’re his weakness

* They say the sun is 92 million miles away, but he swears his sun is walking in front of him on the in Shibuya, his hand held firmly in yours

* If anything ever happened to you-

* He wouldn’t be able to live with himself, he wouldn’t be able to go on anymore.

* And that’s when the curse that lives inside him wins

* So he really doesn’t get why Sukuna’s acting like this is the worst thing to ever happen to him

* Sukuna opens an eye on Yuji’s cheek

* “I hate their kind most of all, even more than Jujutsu Sorcerers” he grumbles

* He really does hate you-

* He hates that you’re kind

* He saw your type all the time at his harem, some lowly thing relatives had sold off for money and honor-

* Or a prize from a nation he conquered

* Some dumb creature that thought you would get a reward for sacrificing yourself

* Truly idiotic

* The worst part is he’s starting to like those little fantasy’s you spin for Yuji

* He can feel the sunlight warning his skin after a cold day

* He can taste the heavy condensation of the steam that wafts off of his cup of tea, brushing against his face. The heat in direct contrast to the cold winter air

* And it hurts him to know he probably won’t feel like that again, not for a long time

* Not with you helping Yuji work through his negative feelings like you do

* So he hates you

* He hides his contempt in general, it only leaks out through an occasional insult

* “Where’s your kindness now?” He’ll jeer when you’re having a bad day

* Only for Yuuji to smack his cheek to get him to shut up

* “Ah, don’t pay any attention to him. He’s just grumpy”

* For the most part it’s nothing you can’t handle

* Really you kind of forget he’s there most of the time, until one day you see Sukuna pop out and take a bite of your Taiyaki as you hold it out to Yuji who said he wanted to taste the flavor

* “Oi that was mine!” Yuji screeches, slapping his own face while Sukuna smiles from his hand

* “You just like torturing me don’t you?” He weeps, and you offer him sympathetic pats on the back, giving him another bit of your Taiyaki

* He continues on about how Sukuna just loves to torment him, and honestly why can’t they get along when they share a body

* But your mind is elsewhere

* The next time Sikuna see’s you is when Yuji’s sleeping, the damn brat snores so loud he’s considering throttling him just to get some peace and quiet

* That’s when he hears the door creak, seeing you curling inside around it, a plastic bag in hand

* Great, the perfect end to the perfect day

* “The brats sleeping” Sukuna grumbles from Yuji’s hand-

* He would have spoken from his face but the only thing more annoying than having to deal with Yuji’s snores is having to hear the lovey-dovey crap tumble from his lips when he talks to you

* He figures you’ll leave, or maybe curl up against Yuji on the bed but instead you kneel down, your hand dipping into the plastic bag

* “I’m not here for him,” you start pulling out a Taiyaki.

* “You wanted one right?” That’s why he took a bite, because he wanted to try it too

* Though, annoying Yuji was probably an added bonus

* You hold up the Taiyaki to Sukuna’s ‘mouth’

* And he’s overcome with emotion

* It’s not like he hasn’t had concubines from his harem feed him a great number of things before -

* Like he hasn’t ever felt the tender act from one of his many lovers -

* So he hates that you’re the one that’s bringing out all these emotions in him

* And as he takes a bite from the Taiyaki he finally admits it-

* If you were in his harem, a moronic kind fool like you were one of his lovers

* You would be his favorite

* And that’s why he hates you so much

* Because just like Yuji, you’re his weakness

* “It’s not the same flavor” he mumbles

* “Sorry I couldn’t get the ice cream, it would have melted on the way here-“

* Sukuna wouldn’t have minded one bit licking the cream from your fingers, maybe he would even catch that embarrassed face you always make with the damn brat

* “So I got you a custard one, and a chocolate one, and on the off chance you weren’t in the mood for something sweet I got you a curry filled one too”

* You stumble, hand flying into the bag to pull out the other two, holding them up to him

* And despite himself, Sukuna finds the sight quite...cute

* “Well, I suppose these offerings will do for now wench” And his words are harsh, but you smile like the kindhearted fool you are.

* And that’s how Yuji starts getting pestered for “just five minutes alone with their baby”

* “Scared I’ll show them a better time than you can?” Sukuna grins

* Of course he is! Sukuna had a literal harem of lovers. Who knows what kinds of techniques he knows

* But Yuji’s pride won’t let him admit it

* Yuji scoffs

* “I’d rather die again then let you come anywhere near them”

* It’s kind like you’ve got two boyfriends

* One pink haired one that’s the literal personification of sunshine

* And another, more dark and sadistic one

* And it’s sort of a funky little relationship

* But it’s yours

* “I wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world” you whisper.

* Your lips brushing against his

* Yuji wouldn’t trade you for anything either

* He loves you ❤️

Forever and Always | Bakugou x Reader

summary: "And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called. And then I feel so low I can't feel nothing at all. And I flashback to when he said forever and always."

w/c: 2.1k

warnings: angst

a/n: i cried while writing this.

navigation

Eijirou's body is amazing; scultped abs, hard chest, chiseled arms and such broad shoulders. You watched as he did pull ups in front of you, with his back facing towards you. He lets go of the bars, turning around, smiling as he extends his hand. "Babe, can you pass me my towel please?"

"Babe, can you pass me my towel please?" Katsuki asks, sweat dripping down the side of his head, trailing down his neck, collar and chest before getting absorbed in his black tank top.

You throw him his towel, standing up from the bench. You lean forward, standing on your tippy toes to press your lips against his. The blond chuckles breathily, pouting a little, pressing his lips against yours.

Butterflies swarmed your tummy and you feel your heart skip a beat. This always happened whenever you kissed Katsuki. No matter how many times you've kissed him and no matter how long the both of you had been dating, he never failed to give you butterflies.

You feel someone step in front of you, snapping you out of your daze. You blink, looking up at the red head who's now taking his towel on his own.

"Ah, sorry babe. What were you saying?" You ask to which Eijirou shakes his head at. "It's okay, I got it." He wipes the sweat off his face, smiling brightly at you.

"Anyway, do you wanna go to that old ice cream parlor beside here? They don't have new flavors since like five years ago but I thought you might like a cone."

"I wanna go to that ice cream place beside the here." You pout, disregarding just how sweaty your boyfriend was as you wrap your arms around his waist, pulling him closer. "That's a bad habit, idiot. Stop pigging out right after hitting the gym." He laughs, flicking your forehead to which you knit your eyebrows at.

"Oh come on! They have a new flavor called 'blueberry cheesecake'! We should totally try it!" You whine, watching as your boyfriend packs his things in his gym bag. "You've eaten a blueberry cheesecake before, haven't you? Just imagine that but colder."

Despite what he said, he opens the door to the ice cream parlor for you. Sweat gone, the both of you had showered and changed your clothes before entering the cozy ice cream parlor.

The both of you sit by the window, looking out and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains right behind the store.

You look back at your boyfriend who's sitting right in front of you, supposedly to tell him about the pretty bird you just saw, but stop once you saw how pretty he looked when he wasn't frowning or yelling.

Calm, softly smiling Katsuki Bakugou looking out and appreciating the beauty of nature. Your heart throbbed at the thought of how lucky you are to have him. Despite his harsh and loud nature towards others, he always gave off a different vibe when it came to you. He was much gentler, more careful with his choice of words and his actions.

His eyes flick towards you and he raises a brow. "Take a picture, it will last longer."

You smile, opening up your gallery to show off the many, many pictures you have of him stored in a secret album. You smile cheekily at him, "Already have a ton, thank you very much."

Katsuki smiles, chuckling as he shakes his head. "Idiot."

"Babe? You okay? You've been out of it since I asked you to hand me my towel, did I say something wrong?" You snap out of your daze once again, cursing at yourself. You look up at your boyfriend, smiling as you shake your head.

"I'm sorry, I think I need to head home and sleep. You have a meeting an hour from now, right? You should go." You press a kiss against Eijirou's cheek, smiling at him. "I'll wait for you at home."

You walk out of the gym, bag on your shoulder as you take a deep breath of fresh air in. You look up at the sky, frowning to see them all gray and cloudy. You begin walking down the road, looking around you.

The stores from before hadn't change at all. Especially-

"Ah! If it isn't my dear Y/n! Will you buy your usual caramel ice cream today too?" The old lady who runs the ice cream shop chirps at you, hands shaking as she grabs onto her cane to prevent herself from falling over.

"Granny! You know you can't be walking around, the doc said so!" Her granddaughter's voice is filled with concern as she places a hand below granny's elbow and on her back. She looks up at you, smiling apologetically.

"Sorry, I guess Alzheimer's also makes her forget she can't walk properly now?" She jokes, chuckling awkwardly. You smile, bowing your head.

You walk right past the ice cream parlor, oblivious to granny's pout to your declination of her invite. You stuff your hands in your pocket, looking up at the sky as you sigh. Before you know it, your gaze falls upon the top of your apartment building.

"I'm home! And guess what I got you!" You chirp, entering your apartment as you hold the white plastic bag full of food in your hand. The sound of quick padded footsteps make you giggle as you set the bag oncthe counter.

Katsuki appears right in front the kitchen, excited eyes and a wide grin across his face making you laugh. He quickly rummages through the contents of the bag, yelling in excitement as he pulls out a red ramen cup.

"Hell yeah, extra spicy!" He cheers, running over to you to pull you into a tight hug. "Thanks babe!" He presses multiple kisses on the top of your head before pulling away to start boiling his water.

"Hey! It's not even dinner time yet!" You jokingly frown, crossing your arms in front of your chest. You loved Seeing Katsuki like this; all bubbly and cheery and excited. Such a sweet and bright soul, you come to a conclusion that yes, you are definitely going to love this boy forever.

You walk right past the kitchen, body feeling heavy as you make your way inside your shared bedroom. You drop your bag onto the carpeted floors and find your legs leading you towards your walk-in closet.

You bend down, pulling out a locked box from underneath your hung clothes. You sit on the floor, pressing on the code to unlcok the box before pulling the lif open.

The contents inside caused your heart to clench.

Butterfly pins.

"Idiot, what are you doing?" Katsuki frowns, tilting his head up to look at you. Your brows knit together as you push his head back, forcing him to face front. "I'm making your hair pretty!" You huff, clipping on the butterfly pins onto his hair.

"My hair's already damn pretty even without the stupid hairpins!" He argues.

"Then I'm making it prettier so sit still!"

"Tsk," Katsuki rolls his eyes, "Then you better do an amazing job. Don't mess up, idiot."

"That'll be pretty hard to accomplish if you keep moving your darn head like that!"

"Hah?! What did you just say to me?!"

Sumigadawa Fireworks Festival Polaroid

"Quit tugging, idiot!" Katsuki yells but remains ignored as you push through the crowd. The fireworks display was going to start soon but you wanted to enjoy a Taiyaki as you watched the display.

You jump excitedly in place, still tugging at your boyfriend's sleeve as you pointed as the sweet snack. Katsuki sighs, pulling out his wallet. The both of you end up buying two pieces, one for each of you.

As you move to start going back to where the field was, Katsuki pulls you back. You lift a brow at him and he begin pulling you to the opposite direction, now it was him dragging you.

"Suki, where are we going? The fireworks display will start soon!" You yell through the loud crowd of people. "Tsk. I know, idiot. Just trust me!" He yells, as he continues pulling you towards a place with a bunch of trees. The two of you walk up a hil for quite some time and as you reached the top, you're panting and you can feel your back dampening at the sudden work out.

"What the heck are we-" The sound of fireworks cut you off. You immediately turn to your right, following the direction of the sound. Your eyes widen as a clear view of the fireworks explode in front of you.

As you stare up at the brightly colored night sky in awe, Katsuki smiles at your dumb face. The colors of the fireworks lit your face ever so beautifully. How did he get so lucky to have you?

Your hand grabs onto his arm as your other one points up at the sky, "Look! Look! That one's pretty!" You point at a pink one slowly disappearing into the night sky.

"Hah! Bet I can create better ones." Katsuki shows off.

"Oh really? Prove it."

And just like that, he opens his palm in front of you a small explosions are created, just like the fireworks. You smile, watching it was similar to watch a snow globe after shaking it.

As your eyes continue to watch Katsuki's mini fireworks, he oulls you out of your daze by cupping your cheek. You look up at him, raising your brows before smiling, leaning in.

His lips are soft, sweet and warm. You never want to part from them.

A Promise Ring.

/"Why won't you fucking listen to me?!" You yell from the top of your lungs, feeling them burn as your tears scortched your cheeks.

"There are already enough heroes out there! You don't need to go-"

"I need to, Y/n! God fucking dammit I need to! Because I'm a hero! Because it's my job, it's my duty to keep people safe. To risk my life keeping you all safe!" Katsuki yells back, slamming his suit case close as you stand there in front of him, weak and helpless.

"Izuku said your chances of surviving the war would be-"

"Baby, baby, look at me." Katsuki shushes, cupping your cheeks. He wipes your tears away as he looks into your eyes, red orbs looking back at you. Soft, gentle and hurt red orbs look back at you. "I'll be fine." He whispers.

You place your hands on top of his, closing your eyes as you let your tears fall, your lower lip shaking as you let out an unever breath. Katsuki presses his lips on your forehead, wrapping his arms around you.

"Take off your ring." He says, pulling away from the hug. You do as told, face still flushed as you haven't finished crying yet. With shaky hands, you take off your ring.

"Look inside it." Katsuki mutters.

You do as told, feeling your heart clench in your chest.

"What does it say?" He asks.

"Forever and always."

You sob on the floor, bringing your legs up to your chest as you recall the feeling of your world crushing the second you heard the news from Izuku.

Your body grew heavy as you fell to your knees, your tears streaming down your chest at his pained expression. He crouches down, placing a hand on your shoulder. You sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed, so loud your throat hurt.

Katsuki was your world. He meant everything to you. Now that he was gone, what do you have left to lose?

"He promised me!" You yell from the top of your lungs, "He promised to call me as soon as he was done! Why didn't he call?! Why hasn't he called yet?!" Your head throbbed as Izuku's geip on your shoulder tightened.

It wasn't just you who had lost a loved one, him and all your other friends, too. You banged your fist against your chest as you sobbed heavily, finding it difficult to breath, to take in the information that Katsuki was gone.

"I told him! I told him not to go!" You yelled right at Izuku, holding onto his shoulders. "Katsuki! My Katsuki! He's gone!" The pain you felt is unbearable, it's something you can't understand, it's something you never want to experience again.

"You promised me, forever and always!" You yell from the top of your lungs. "Where are you now? Why aren't you beside me? Where's my forever with you?" You sobbed, your tears streaming down your cheeks uncontrollably.

As you cry out your frustrations and anguish in one room, Eijirou sits in another room, face wet with his tears as he blubbered in the memory of his best friend.

It's times like these that you agree to David Jones; life went on, but it was never the same again.

haikyuu!! as types of best friends.

➼ ft. hinata, sugawara, bokuto, osamu+atsumu.

➼ playlist. talk too much - coin, higher - banks, romanticism - mrs green apple, me and my friends - james vincent mcmorrow

➼ a/n. these have light bff2l undertones hhn i love that trope, pls forgive me. </3 + there’s some timeskip spoilers for atsumu & osamu’s part.

❀ hinata :-

i wish the childhood best friends trope a very good evening.

no one’s better than hinata at making friends, even if you met after he spiked a ball into your face. you’re childhood best friends too !! so imagine being a child and having to pick up this goofball by the scruff, who has the audacity to ask you to play with him after giving you a scratched up forehead and teary eyes from a ball to the face. but, like, you were the one who said yes so it’s on you :-)

sometimes you bicker but it’s ok bc he would literally go to the ends of the earth for you if you asked. no kidding. he hates sitting still anyway so he’ll just gravitate towards where you are like you’re the sun. also gets you taiyaki in the evenings but climbs in through your window instead of using the front door like a normal person. (he has too much energy </3) if you hear someone yelling your name outside your window and ranting about volleyball games, you know who it is.

ok when he makes you mad with his bullheadedness, you'll be complaining with kageyama (who agrees vehemently) and hinata gets pissy bc you get along a little too well when you're throwing insults about him. (he's not jealous, no, of course not.) but.. how long can you stay mad at this sunshine child anyway?? you'll be pretending you never got mad at all within a few hours and go back to joking around.

he gets distracted if you're watching a match sometimes (bokuto somehow got it into his head that he needs to show off in front of you) so you got banned from watching. he overcomes it later on so you can cheer him on in his jersey too <3

gives you ALL his attention when you talk or even complain about your life. he reacts a lot to whatever you have to say so you have to pretend there aren’t people behind you glaring at hinata for having the same decibel sound level as a jet engine.

you have matching keychains you bought at a local fair !!! (you got a pochacco one for hinata but it’s super worn out by now so he keeps it in his wallet instead.)

he has not won a single multiplayer video game against you (*cough cough* mario kart *cough*) and you don’t even have to be good at it. if you call him a loser, he’ll lose even harder. gets unnecessarily mad at just dance and you have to calm him down.

... you’ve probably kissed bc the two of you (mostly him) were too eager for a first kiss and you got fed up with his pubescent ramblings and ended up kissing him. and then had an early mid-life crisis bc you guys are definitely just friends. (unless.. unless he doesn’t think that way.. surprise surprise 😳) also he's.. kind of bad for make out practice... it’s like kissing a month old puppy.. sorry :/. if you happen to make a lot of offhand comments and tease him about his kissing skills, he WILL turn tomato red and argue in gibberish. only do that in private bc the rest of the world thinks you’re sickeningly cute together >:(

overall, your best friend is a ball of sunshine (who occasionally pisses you off) and your #1 motivation to get out of bed. it's mostly bc he's somehow there to get you out of bed though you've repeatedly told him to not climb in through your window. at least the sun is smiling upon you every day <3

❀ sugawara :-

being best friends with him is such a secure relation !!

he’s your soft place to fall but also would provide gentle (not so gentle) reminders for your wellbeing (STUDY!!! WATER!!!! BREAKFAST!!). doesn’t get mad when you say you skipped breakfast but gives you this look of disappointment which is 100x more effective. still gets a granola bar for you though. also he literally carries bandaids for u and he’s been doing that since second grade bc you fell off the swing ONCE. you know, just in case. if you’re an accident-prone hazard to society, you’re in luck.

BEST HUGS especially if you had a rough day and want to sob into his shoulder. if u damage his $85 hoodie tho, he will make u do his laundry and also buy snacks for him. but like he is so soft (his skin is SUPER soft bc he actually follows a skincare routine now) and cuddly like a teddy bear, it's a small price to pay for salvation.

he will hype you up for anything you do !!!! new outfit? offers to be your personal photographer. scored an A+? will treat u to your fav ice-cream. new job? will tell everyone just how proud he is.

ALWAYS shares the last bite with you and smiles to himself when you eat it so contented. also!!! hanging out at cafes and taking cute pictures is a must <3 even though you’re not dating, you’ll have photos together that make you look a real couple which ensue teasing from daichi and asahi and admiration/jealousy from noya and tanaka. also he gets weirdly protective of you around the team (i’m looking at the moron quartet) and you have to pull the “koushi you’re not my mom” card. it really strikes a chord with him when you say that out loud.

will egg your ex's house with you if you say the word. somehow gets more pissed than you at your ex (if they're a shitty one). it's kind of scary when he's mad too so.... good luck calming him down. he's also really good at sarcastic trash talk so if you happen to meet your ex on the street... send prayers for their self-esteem.

you don't really fight often but if you happen to disagree, he'll go about it in a pretty mature way and talk it out. if you pick a fight on purpose, he'll catch on to it and either tickle you (excessively) or flick your forehead as punishment for trying to rile him up. it’s impossible to prank him!!!!! it’s like he’s got a sixth sense or something so you might as well give up on anything of the sort.

you said you want to get a dog (or cat) with him in the near future and he somehow equated that to having children. turned bright red and started saying it’s too soon to be thinking of that while you had daichi stop you from smacking some sense into your overly imaginative best friend. (i mean, you do need to live together if you want to raise a pet sooo)

his lockscreen is a picture of the two of you so a lot of people who try to hit on him take the hint quick. he says it’s unintentional but you know he can be terribly scheming at times. if you say something like “why don’t you date me for real, coward” he will malfunction and not be able to look you in the eye. (“don’t joke around, y/n” “what if i’m not” “it kind of feels illegal to date you” “what do you mean?!💢”)

anyway you are one lucky mf if you have sugawara koushi as your best friend even if there are both ups and downs (mostly ups). having someone care for you so blatantly certainly makes the question of romance arise but you’re content with the most loving best friend ever.

❀ bokuto :-

you guys are the “two best friends in a room, we might kiss” “yes we will” “what” type of best friends PLS

it doesn’t matter what stage of life you met him, it’ll feel like you’ve been best friends since the beginning of time.

it’s just so easy to make friends with this airhead and by god’s gift, you cannot physically get annoyed at this man. sometimes his friends will complain about him being forgetful or blunt but you’re just there like. yeah. that’s bokuto. love him for it. (you seem to have a lot of patience.)

he probably gets into trouble with authority unwittingly, so save your weekends to sweet talk his way out after accidentally implying the coach has a weak mindset. afterwards, you go get ice cream or something and hang out at the dog park to forget it happened. (the amount of second hand embarrassment bokuto has given you though... you need some hard drugs to forget all of it.)

you probably make a lot of friends through him in high school/college but at the end of the day, it’s just you and him and sometimes akaashi making sure you guys are alive. if you guys are alone together on a friday night, you’ll still be having fun!! very often, it takes shape as karaoke :-) bokuto thinks he’s really great at rapping for some reason (he’s not) so cue you screaming the lyrics in an attempt to ruin your part of the song equally. also he always sets the key wrong??? although you sing the same songs each time?? sometimes he picks a song neither of you have ever heard and the both of you try to guess the melody. he’s terrible at it but at least he’s funny. there’s not a single song he hasn’t had a voice crack in.

if you go clubbing/partying with him, get prepared to be introduced as the friend of “the guy who did four keg stands in a row before proceeding to do a cartwheel unprompted and somehow not throw up”. is on first name basis with the bartenders/hosts and gets you free drinks. also gets hit on often but is oblivious unless they’re being very straightforward. if he’s not into them... you have to pull the s/o card and save his ass. oh also he barks at anyone that gets near your drink.

will always exaggerate when introducing you to new people. “y/n and i met when i saved them from drowning a terrible death.” “it was the children’s pool and you were the one that was screaming.” “and then y/n didn’t really thank me but it’s not like heroes need thanks to do the right thing.” “kou, i will push you into a pool right now, let’s see how well you swim.” (he learned swimming to impress you so joke’s on you.)

he likes to watch you do stuff at the end of the day, so if you see him go o_o at you doing homework, you can just put your earphones on and focus on your work. even if he’s making.. a strangely.. adorable expression. also LOVES to listen to you talk about your day when he’s tired, he says it helps him sleep better (so expect a lot of nighttime calls). moreover, if you say you had a bad dream, he’ll comfort you with his ridiculously confident tone of voice (unless the dream was about something bad happening to him, then he’ll freak out and you’ll have to comfort him instead </3)

ok one thing that’s annoying about him is that he probably leaves food crumbs over your stuff like laptop, bed sheet, etc. you clean it up but bokuto.. is a bit... distracted to notice the mess he’s making. it’s usually pretty difficult to get him to be more aware, but like your glare is enough to make him at least try to be careful from the next time. (either that or he’s become sensitive to your change in mood/emotions bc you know... you’re best friends after all.)

i’m not gonna lie, he probably catches feelings for you at some point. he wants to, like, keep it lowkey bc akaashi told him to take your feelings into consideration too but?? it’s so hard?? you’re literally so pretty?? everything you say is like music to him??? he reacts reflexively to all the firecracker feelings u give him. he probably says he likes you all the time but you dismiss it with “as a friend right :-)”. there’s no climbing up from that one, sorry bokuto.

to summarize, if a moody golden retriever was your human best friend.exe

❀ miya twins :-

they feel like a set. it would be strange to have one of the twins as a bff and not have the other one around whoops 🤷‍♀️

either you and osamu bully atsumu in your free time, or you and atsumu annoy osamu for fun (or both) <3. it’s always a good idea to team up with osamu and prank atsumu for fun btw. (put wasabi in his breakfast pancakes and you’ll get a very pissed off but weirdly cute tsumtsum. you can blame it on osamu if you don’t want to face his wrath.) your alternative is to embarrass osamu in front of strangers with atsumu, have fun with that. (second hand embarrassment also works.)

when you were younger, you pretended to not be able to distinguish the twins bc it would visibly rile atsumu up and then you’d go “ok you’re atsumu”... which would further rile him up. osamu got used to your shenanigans though it ticked him off the first time too LOL. call them the wrong name on purpose and they’ll start a riot; be careful when you’re playing with fire pls.

you guys played a lot of knight and prince/princess/royal when you were a kid and atsumu would always try to make osamu the evil dragon holding you captive. in the end, you were somehow the knight, osamu the prince to be rescued and atsumu the big, bad dragon. (it’s kind of funny in hindsight. your parents have photographs of the three of you fighting like no tomorrow.) also speaking of which, your parents are also friends and have bets on which twin you’ll marry (or if you will at all). it’s tearing your parents’ friendship apart.

these two have DEFINITELY fought over whose jersey number you’re going to wear to the games ( “oi, ‘samu, stop brainwashing my best friend into wearing your stupid double digit number” “you know i’m the best friend, ‘tsumu. they clearly like me better over yer ratty ass.” “what did ya say?!?!? if anything, you’re the one that looks like ratatouille.”) you wore kita's jersey number to games.

imagine sunday picnics with the boys !!! by that, i specifically mean osamu and his perfect bento boxes <3 sometimes the two of you will cook together before your outings while a sulking atsumu stands outside bc you didn’t let him. (let him in, you monsters.) he says he can cook too but the last time the twins’ bickering almost burnt the whole kitchen down. the picnics continue well into adulthood and you get to diss your boss to the twins who will always support your rants. (sometimes atsumu will tell you it’s your fault but you can smack him off. we only need supportive besties here 🙄)

if someone hurts u.... they’re going to need divine intervention to be safe... you have two well-built, physically adept best friends ready to beat the shit out of anyone who deliberately breaks ur heart.

when the twins get into a physical fight...... oh boy. it kinda pisses you off that they’re spewing profanity at each other and you’re the one getting glares. but at the same time, you don’t really want to step into a fight that has nothing to do with you. people should solve their interpersonal issues on their own. they have never fought over you, this isn’t twilight <3

but the question did come up once on which twin you like better; it’s not something to seriously fight over though. if you chose osamu, atsumu will complain for six days straight and you’ll start to regret ever answering the question. if you say atsumu, osamu won’t feed you his onigiri anymore for a few days which is just as bad. the safest choice is to say neither bc it will both be funny and you won’t suffer too many consequences. if you say you love the both of them for being your best friends all this time and go all mushy, there’s a slight chance they’ll go soft too. god help you from the bone crushing hug you’re about to receive 🙏

you make sure to not miss any of atsumu’s official games !! sometimes he’ll wave at you and make the reporters give you hell bc he’s a little shit. just push osamu to them and run away if it gets that bad. (he gets free advertising for his shop, he should be grateful.)

osamu is super good at cheering you up!!! whether it’s with food or with pleasant talk, you’ll be feeling much better with a full stomach and a calmer state of mind. as for atsumu, he’s really good at you cheering you up by distracting you. he’ll talk about his team or this new serve he learnt and the world will seem a lot brighter bc he seems so happy about it. whichever twin you go to, it’s win-win.

in return, the twins take up a good chunk of your time. sometimes atsumu will crash at your place after a game though you’ve told him to not lead the damn reporters here. osamu makes you taste test his experimental onigiri... which are not always good..... no seriously, why’d he put honey and tuna in there ?? but still, your life is ridiculously colorful with them around.

anyway, what can i say except what’s better than one best friend?? two best friends !!!

Toshiya: So scary… Joe: I’m sorry…I’m trying to negotiate with him….thank you for your comments….those sunglasses….*reading the comments* Do you want me to take them off? That’s not ok because of the social distance right?...he has to take them off by himself…..why don’t you take them off, Toshiya? Tell us! Toshiya: *laughs* somehow….isn’t this coercion?......*laughs*….scary… Joe: It’s the alcohol…..the combination of me with alcohol is not good… Toshiya: Joe Yokomizo’s channel is scary… Joe: I’m sorry! Is it ok for you if we pass this topic?.... Toshiya’s sunglasses…..see….everyone, please write comments showing your love for Toshiya…..maybe if he feels loved/satisfied…it doesn’t feel like it yet… Toshiya: Satisfied, right? That’s interesting… Joe: If he feels satisfied/content…..he will take the sunglasses off… if he feels satisfied it would be great…. “I like Toshiya so much”….write comments!....*Toshiya laughs* “Don’t you eat icecream?”…. Do you like ice-cream? Toshiya: I do Joe: I feel like you don’t eat sweet things at all…. Toshiya: I like sweet stuff… Joe: Is that so? What do you like? I like custard ice cream to death… Toshiya: Ohhh! I like custard as well….I like anko ice cream…. * Anko is a Japanese sweet red bean paste made from azuki beans.* Joe: You like anko? Toshiya: Yes Joe: *makes a weird face* Ehhhh…. That’s a bit…. Toshiya: My grandmother made it…. Joe: I see! Toshiya: That’s it Joe: Ehhh…. Toshiya: I like things that are usually liked by elders…. Joe: With that look you have/looking like that……and you like anko….*surprised* Toshiya: When I was a little kid I was still innocent…*Joe laughs* A cute child… Joe: A cute child… Toshiya: I got fully dirty now, though…. Joe: But that’s fine….because you are a rock and roller….”Do you like dried persimmon?” Toshiya: I do Joe: Do you like things like Taiyaki and so? Toshiya: I like Taiyaki… Joe: There are places in Tokyo in which Taiyaki is delicious… Toshiya: It is delicious Joe: Do you have any place you like? I really like a place in Yotsuya…have you tried it there? Toshiya: I don’t know that place…. Joe: It’s delicious there…if you go to Youtsuya, it’s really delicious….then, in Azabu… Toshiya: Ah! At Juban, it’s delicious too… Joe: Isn’t it? Still, it’s one….two hundred yen per piece…. Toshiya: That’s expensive…. Joe: It’s expensive…it’s seems that the taiyaki there is 200 yen…recently taiyaki is expensive… Toshiya: That’s right… Joe: Since when did taiyaki become this popular/famous? At our times there was only Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun. *Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun is a song by Japanese singer Masato Shimon released in 1975* Toshiya: *Laughs* Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun feels so nostalgic…. Joe: It feels nostalgic…. Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun….did you sing it? Toshiya: Everyday…*he refers to the the first word of the lyrics* Joe: *sings*Every day, every day, we are getting fried ♫….. Toshiya: That is…..somehow….like imitating Shinya’s way of talking….it always feel like everyone is imitating him… Joe: Is that so? Everyone can do it!....*sings again* Every day, every day♫ With the exception of the chorus, do you sing? Toshiya: Well…I’m not really good at it… Joe: No,no,no…. Toshiya: It’s embarrassing… Joe: This is going to be my unreasonable request….I want you to sing… Toshiya: No,no,no…what do you mean with that? Joe: I don’t know Toshiya: *Laughs* What do you mean? Joe: I want you to sing….look! look! *points at the comments* Toshiya: It’s like…. Giant’s tone deafness… *Giant or Takeshi Goda is a character from Doraemon. His signing is known for being horrible and loud* Joe: Giant is hopeless….I already have alcohol hitting me…..you too……isn’t it ok?....see! *points at the comments* Everyone wants that… Toshiya: No,no….it’s still soon… Joe: It’s still soon….it is soon…”Take the sunglasses off and then sing”…..*pointing and yelling* Wonderful!!!.... all the stuff you are writing now is amazing…. Toshiya finished his beers and squeezes the can. Toshiya: Another one… Joe: Another one, please…..let’s do a survey…. Off camera, you can hear Toshiya thanking someone for the beer. Joe: Let’s do it….what do people want? That you take your sunglasses off or sing….or that you sing a song….let’s check with them….let’s do that…..”Joe, you are doing an amazing job” thank you so much… Toshiya laughs. Joe: When I drink I am able to do my job….*Joe Laughs*….Toshiya didn’t know about what this section of the program....´ Toshiya: It’s scary….this program is really scary… Joe: Now as due to Corona, we don’t have many chances to laugh… Toshiya: That’s true…that’s why… Joe: Isn’t that something that we can do now? Toshiya: That’s true…I think that’s the best….if you can laugh…. Joe: For real…I really want to see everyone smiling… Toshiya: That’s true….well….I really appreciate it…. Joe: Of course, you can go to the film screening for that….but today is today!....so if you take your sunglasses off….everyone will be smiling….*Toshiya is drinking so he doesn’t reply* Eh….if you sing Oyage! Taiyaki kun…..well we haven’t decided which song they want you to sing but…if you sing….even if it is just a bit of a chorus…that’s fine too….”Both”….they want one option (of the survey) with both things….that’s a bit… Toshiya: That’s really…you all are really greedy…. Joe: You are saying that…..*points at the comments* they are asking for it again… Toshiya: The money you dropped (paid) is not enough….*laughs* Joe: You would dare to say….not enough money… Toshiya: A beautiful Giant will come out…. *Beautiful Giant is the handsome version of Giant* Joe: It will come out….which option will be the most voted? The sunglasses or the singing….maybe both….but that you all subscribed to the channel was good….well, I don’t know… Toshiya: You don’t know….*laughs* Joe: I don’t know though….let’s do the survey….what do you want to see?...for me….that’s it…..it’s ok…I can’t say much more… *The survey appears on screen* Joe reads the four options. Joe: First one, “take off the sunglasses, second “sing”, third “take the sunglasses and then sing”, fourth, “Joe Yokomizo takes his glasses off”… that’s a good one….the fourth option…if the fourth one is the most voted, I will take my glasses off and sing…. Toshiya: Is that so? Joe: I’ll sing… Toshiya: But (the option) just says that you take your glasses off… Joe: Ah, “take the glasses off”….you are right…. Toshiya: But it’s ok if you want to do it…. Joe:Well, then I’m getting rid of my glasses…..well, the comments….the flow of the comments….write in the comments what you want….first, Toshiya takes his sunglasses off, second he sings, third he takes them off and sing, fourth I take my glasses off…..some people are writing “4” are you guys for real?....did you really pay 500 yen to see me taking my glasses off?....what are you guys doing?....spend your money properly, morons….*Joe and Toshiya laughs*….so, the results of the survery are coming…..here they are…. Don! *The results appear on screen* Joe: They are here! *Toshiya laughs hard* “Take the sunglasses off” 18.3%, “Sing” 11.1% *Joe starts yelling* “Take the sunglasses off and sing” 66.1%, “Joe takes his glasses off” 4.4%...there are a 4% of morons….after this, I’m so sorry Toshiya but “take your sunglasses off and sing” it’s the clear winner! Toshiya: Isn’t it? Joe: That’s what I thought…this….it’s unavoidable….everyone around this time…. their hearts are already rotten… Toshiya: No, no….don’t rot don’t rot… Joe: That can’t be helped….so, for everyone…. take your sunglasses off and let’s sing… Toshiya laughs. Joe: By the way….what was the first cd you bought?....ah, at that time there were already cds? There were right?.... Toshiya: The first one I bought….the first one I bought myself was a cassette…. Joe: A cassette? Toshiya: The first one that my parents bought for me was…a LP record though… Joe: I see… Toshiya: The first one I bought with my pocket money was a cassette…. Joe: By the way, do you remember which one was? If you can remember….. Toshiya: The cassette? Joe: The cassette….or it is embarrassing to say so…. Toshiya: No, I’m very embarrased but…..*laughs*Well…..it was Wink’s Ai ga tomaranai (Love doesn’t stop)….. *Wink was a pretty popular J-pop female duo in the late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s* Joe: No way…. Joe burst into laughter and even stands up laughing Joe: I’m sorry I laughed a bit….would it be possible that you take your sunglasses off and sing Ai ga tomaranai? Toshiya: No….stop it… Joe: I won’t….is this first time you tell this? Toshiya: I wonder…. I don’t know…. Joe: Oh! *Joe starts humming the song* Toshiya: Yes, yes, yes…..that’s it… Joe: Like that…..it was a cover, right? Toshiya: It’s a cover… Joe: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Toshiya: It’s Ai ga tomaranai…. Joe: The first cassette that Toshiya from Dir en grey bought was….Wink!.....Ai ga tomaranai….*Toshiya laughs* This is going to be breaking news tomorrow and spreading everywhere- Toshiya: *Laughs*….Ah, I’m sweating a lot… Joe: You are….I can totally see it from here…..well, ai ga…..well, let’s do a survey about what song they want you to sing…..*Toshiya is laughing and fanning himself hard* Toshiya: No,no… Joe: First option is going to be “Ai ga tomaranai” (Love doesn’t stop)…. Toshiya: More like, Joe Yomomizo doesn’t stop…. Joe burst into laughter, Toshiya picks the notebook in which he wrote the kanji before to fan himself. Toshiya: It’s hot….. Joe: Then, for example….like, was there a theme from a television program that you liked? Toshiya: The LP that my parents bought for me…. Joe: Ah, that one? Toshiya: It was Kaibutsu-kun’s…. *Kaibutsu-kun (Monster kid) is a japanese manga and a anime series* Joe: Kaibutsu-kun? Toshiya: It was Kaibutsu-kun…. Joe: Eh…..it was a song that you liked…. Toshiya: I like it….yes… Joe: Until now, we got “Ai ga tomaranai”, Kaibutsu-kun….the first time you covered a song with a band…. Toshiya: The first time I covered with a band?....the first time.….with the bass? Joe: With the bass…..anything is ok actually… Toshiya: Eh….with the bass….the first one was Ziggy…. Joe: Ziggy!!?? Toshiya: Yes…. Ziggy’s Gloria…. Joe: Ehh….that’s such a good song… Toshiya: That’s it…. Joe: *starts humming Gloria* Toshiya: It was Gloria….but that I knew it by heart….since the beginning until the end….the first one I covered was….Luna Sea… Joe: Ohh! Which song? Toshiya: I think it was “Jesus”… Joe: was it “Jesus?”….ahhhhhh…..now we have 4 options…. Toshiya: *burst into laughter* No,no….stop it… Joe: “Ai ga tomaranai”….*Toshiya says “stop it” off screen*….”Kaibutsu-kun”…..”Gloria” and….”Jesus”….they are so many….what we can do?... we are going to take a survey…. Toshiya: No,no… Joe: Which one do they want… Toshiya: These people….”sing Jesus”….don’t say that… Joe: Toshiya is getting a little bit pissed off….but everyone is going to lose (if he gets mad)…. Toshiya: No,no…. Joe: So, let’s write comments so he does it….let’s make him song the song…..because I’m your comrade…. Toshiya: You are really getting carried away….it’s so hot here….*starts fanning himself* Joe: No,no…*laughs*…well….we are going to take a survey…. Toshiya: Is it ok if I just take off the sunglasses? Joe: We are going to check it… Toshiya: *Pointing at the comments* They are ok with that….so kind… Joe: Indeed….but we are going to ask them as before….everyone is going to say which song they want you to sing….so the next time….today you are going to take your sunglasses off…and the next time you come to the program, you can be ready for it… Toshiya laughs Joe: Next time…you sing….today you are going to take the sunglasses off….and the next time…I don’t know when yet….after the new single is released…more or less… Toshiya: I see Joe: I’ll listen to it and…. Toshiya: *laughs* You are going to sing too? Joe: I will….I’m bad at singing too…. Toshiya: I see…..it’s really hard…. Joe: It is! the sounds are really hard… Toshiya: It really is…..really hard… Joe; I think everyone has to do something interesting….if you are here we have to create content right?....but after all, don’t people like these kinds of unreasonable requests?....let’s take a look and do the survey… which song do you want to hear? That's why I think doing a survey is better. ”It would be nice to play the covered song as well”….more and more requests are coming…so selfish…. Toshiya: *laughs* Really? Joe: You guys are really greedy!....don’t get so carried away…. Toshiya: But really….I was really bad at covering songs… Joe: Ah Toshiya: But….Ziggy’s Toshiro, Luna Sea’s J, X Japan’s Taiji…. many people from that time onwards….there were so many (amazing bassists) Joe: That’s true… Toshiya: I was really happy… Joe: That’s true… but you are trying to escape from this starting a good conversation…. Toshiya burst into laughter Joe: For the time being, this is a preparatory step for the next time you come to the program….if Toshiya takes off his sunglasses, there won’t be a musical performance….just singing….all these songs are meaningful for Toshiya…there is a meaning in singing them….the first one he bought the cassette himself, the second is first LP bought by his parents, the first time he covered a song was Gloria, and the first time he was able to get to cover a song properly it was “Jesus”….if he takes off his sunglasses and sing in a performance, which song do you want to listen to? You will be asked that in the survey…..the state of emergency (in Japan) is still going on, everyone is accumulating dissatisfaction in their hearts….I hope you all are going to put your heart into this survey…. An urgent survey….the results of it are….here….here they are….don!....”Ai ga tomaranai” got a 29.5%, Kaibutsu-kun got a 15.9%, “Gloria” got a 13.1% and “Jesus” got a 41.5%.... Toshiya: You sound like “Top ten songs”….. *”Top ten songs was a japanese radio program that ranked the most popular songs at the 80s. Tokumitsu was one of the host of the program* Joe: Suddenly I sound like Tokumitsu….. Toshiya: How nostalgic…. Joe: At the showa era… Toshiya: The way they said the score…. Joe: Like with emotion….*makes drums sound*….It was like that at showa…so now…the results of the survey is “Jesus” at 1st position… Toshiya: That’s right… Joe: As today I already made many unreasonable requests….this can’t be done today…so for today, you are taking off your sunglasses….the next time….please come again…for promotion….during the promotion period when the single is released…. Toshiya: Of course….of course is it a promotion offer right? Joe: Of course! You can use that chance for promotion, it’s fine. We will do it properly…and after this, you take off your sunglasses…. Toshiya: You keep working hard until the end…. Joe: No,no….I’ll get angry if I don’t do this properly….because this is my channel so it’s like….what am I going to do… Toshiya: But after all….it’s fun… Joe: That’s right…. I don’t know you well but we had a drink once after a live and it was really fun….it was so fun…. Toshiya: Yes… Joe: I’ve been wanting to invite you after that, so we exchanged our contact info but… Toshiya: We did… it was due to the timing, right? You are really busy… Joe: No,no,no….it’s mostly that I’m poor so I have no free time….But we are now doing this program because we both had time, but with Corona going on... Toshiya: I wanted to go out for a meal but it’s hard to invite you now… Joe: That’s why, when the state of emergency is over again and the situation improves, I’d like to go out for a meal with you….I understand….you keep writing about the sunglasses *pointing at the comments* “Just a glimpse is ok”… at the end of the program…. Toshiya: I see Joe: There is another last section for the end. We asked you to make questions for Toshiya and I’m going to ask him those. Yes, he is going to take the sunglasses off. I’m 52 years old and a half and even if I’m growing senile and don’t remember yesterday either but I will remember that he has to take his sunglasses properly… Toshiya: That’s it. I will take them off properly. (Fourth Part)

In The Storm, There Came A Breeze | Sawamura Daichi/Reader

Characters: Ushijima Wakatoshi, Sawamura Daichi, Reader/Original Female Character

Pairings: Sawamura Daichi/Reader, Ushijima Wakatoshi/Reader

Warnings: Minor Angst

Word Count: 4023

Summary: Daichi blew into her life like a gentle breeze, battling the after effects of the storm Ushijima had left behind.

A/N: This is the second part of a companion piece, the first part will be linked here.

----------

Daichi blew into her life like a gentle breeze, battling the after effects of the storm Ushijima had left behind.

She meets Daichi as she is wandering around Karasuno without any destination in mind; trying to cloud her thoughts. She doesn’t even realise she’s walked in front of a gym until someone is yelling for her to move; she turns her head just in time to catch sight of a ball flying towards her face. Closing her eyes, she prepares for an impact that never comes; instead the ball had been stopped, the forearm in front of her face told her that much.

The world erupts into stammering apologies from the boy who had hit the ball, a whirlwind of laughter from a pair inside of the gym, and her saviour asking her over and over again if she’s okay. They were introducing themselves around her while she was still processing the events of two seconds ago.

“Great, Asahi, you broke the girl and you didn’t even hit her,” Sugawara slapped Asahi on the back - the boy in question had crumbled down onto the ground, letting out a stream of apologies.

She looks back up at Daichi exclaiming that she is, afterall, okay. He doesn’t accept it, not quite, “are you sure you’re okay?” He asks again

“I’m sure.” She nods, though it doesn’t come out half as confidently as she wants it to.

“You know,” he scratched the back of his neck, “you should take me to dinner as a thank you for saving your life.” The soft chuckle he lets out tells her he's joking - he has to be joking, why wouldn’t he be?

That didn’t matter, she felt bad about it either way, so she pulled out her phone, “can I have your number?” Her confidence was all fake, but he didn’t need to know that.

Daichi freezes for a second, unsure of what to do, until she juts her phone out again and he takes it, inputting his number. “I was only kidding…” he mumbled, glancing over at Suga who was giving him a wild grin.

“Thank you,” she slips her phone back into her pocket, offering him a small smile before turning away. He calls out after her, asking for her name and she gives it to him.

True to herself, she messages him later that evening.

Hi, when are you next free so I can take you for something to eat?

She put her phone on her desk, turning her attention back to her studies only for her phone to start vibrating. He called me? She picks up quickly, as to not be perceived as rude, “you really don’t need to take me to dinner!” Daichi exclaims, pulling a laugh out of her, “I’ll be alright, I promise.”

“I want to.” She says confidently.

“I’d feel bad, though, wasting your money on me.” He mumbles and she rolls her eyes.

“Please, it’s my pleasure, now when are you next free?”

They meet up that weekend and she takes him to the cafe. She orders for them both, because the options are just too good looking and I don’t want to waste your money. After finding out what he prefers, she orders Taiyaki and tea for herself, and pancakes, ice cream, and coffee for Daichi.

“Wow, this place is so cool, have you been here before?” Daichi asks, eyes bright while looking around. She nods lightly, her heart cinching at the memory. In between bites, they make pleasant conversation, neither of them taking much of a break from talking - though he does talk far more than she does. He tells her how he came about joining Karasuno, how he liked being the volleyball captain but those goddamn first years make it so hard. She learns that they’re planning on going to nationals this year, and he truly believes they can do it with this new team.

He asks her why she decided to come to Karasuno. She tells him that she had issues with some people while at Shiratorizawa - to her, Karasuno was the next best option when it came to what she needed - which was a way to escape.

She doesn’t tell him it’s because of who she is trying to leave behind.

“Maybe you could help me study then,” his words are hopeful, dancing with glee and amusement that makes her hesitate.

“Maybe.” She hums.

She was surprised when he asked to take her out next weekend - she couldn’t even argue that she hadn’t had a nice time, she had loved it. Her hesitation wavered when he told her to give him an answer whenever she was ready. It hadn’t been five minutes since he stepped on the train that she texted him she’d love to go out next weekend.

Days start to zip by whenever she is by his side, and nobody is surprised when he asks her to be her boyfriend - nobody is surprised when she says yes.

----

Apparently, Daichi lives his life freely - unlike Ushijima, who revels in his routine.

Of course there was his basic routine, but anything outside of school and volleyball was free-reign; she found herself going on multiple dates a week - most of them just sitting outside of Sakanoshita store with some food and drinks. He insisted on calling her by her first name because that’s just what people in relationships do, and I love the way you say my name. She doesn’t need to hide her blush.

Daichi wasn’t afraid to shower her with compliments. He loved to see the way she’d squirm and blush, how flustered she’d get. Even him just asking for her to read to him was enough to make her heart beat loudly in her chest because he could just never get enough of your voice.

She lets herself think that he might actually be the one. Not just some fairy tale.

----

Daichi adores buying her flowers when he finds out how important they are - unlike Ushijima, who had rejected the idea right up until she left him.

One day, they were walking around without rhyme or reason, just basking in each other's company. They came across a flower shop and a mixture of bile and adoration fills her throat; she doesn’t quite know how to react, especially not when he follows her gaze and asks, “do you want me to buy you flowers?” She watches the way he scrunches up his nose at the smell and pulls back.

“No, it’s okay, if you don’t like them then you don’t have to.” She mutters, trying to pull him away, but he doesn’t budge - instead, he twists her around and squeezes her hand.

“But do you like them? That’s what I want to know.” Something in her eyes twinkles at the prospect of it; as tears start to build up, he doesn’t question it, just brings her head to his chest.

“I do…” she whimpers, choking back soft cries. “But not purple hyacinths, or lavender, or forget-me-nots.” She states, and he nods like it’s the easiest thing in the world to remember.

He steps away from her, slipping into the shop and assuring her he’d be back quickly. The wind pinches at her skin, goose bumps prickling along her arms and she can’t help but feel some shame - as if asking for something as simple as flowers would be too much.

In five minutes, Daichi returns with a bouquet of flowers - camellias for perfection, foxgloves for protection, and roses for love - apologising that he took so long, “I just wanted to make sure they were perfect.” She feels her heart swell at the sight, burying her nose deep in them and snuggling closer into his side. “Do you like them?” He asked, almost unsure of himself.

“I love them.” She sighs happily.

And she really does.

----

Daichi loves to have her with him at practise - unlike Ushijima, who despised even the idea of it.

“You should come and watch me practise after school!” He cheers one morning while they wait for their classes to begin; she’s rubbing her thumb over his hand, because he almost refuses to not have her holding him in some way. Her mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water - she’d still barely managed to be okay with the fact he played volleyball, watching him practise might be too much for her.

“Wouldn’t I be too distracting?” Her voice is like a breeze, too soft. He can feel his heart shatter at the way her eyes start to shine - not with happiness, no, as if she were going to cry.

He cups her cheeks, brushes her hair behind her ears and looks at her firmly, “of course,” he felt her tense up, “but I’d love to have you by my side no matter what - besides, it’d be nice to hear you cheering my name.” He grins from ear to ear, pressing light kisses over her face. She doesn’t know whether to feel loved or not, but she settles on the former and allows herself to smile.

“I’ll come watch.” She says, rolling her eyes as he yells triumphantly, “But I don’t know about cheering you on, probably that Tsukishima, though.” She giggles as he lightly swats her arm.

----

Daichi is quick to pick up on her fear - and for that, she is grateful

It should have been a normal practise, but the first years just wouldn’t stop arguing, for some reason. She was watching from the side, chatting lightly with Yachi when Daichi’s booming voice echoed throughout the gym - it set her body on fire as she froze, tears welling in her eyes; she knew it wasn’t directed at her, because she hadn’t done anything, but that didn’t stop her breath from picking up until she was light headed.

Yachi reached her hand out to you, worry laced in her words - she tossed a look over to Daichi who enveloped her in a hug, stroking her hair gently and whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Never in her life had she been so thankful that he was holding her - if it wasn’t for him, her knees would have had her crumbling.

He led her out of the gym, not once letting go of her - not until they were away from the stares of his teammates.

When his sweet voice asked her what was wrong, she broke and told him of her time with Toshi - although she still referred to him as Toshi - she told him about his little comments, about the lack of affection, about everything that hurt and bothered her beyond relief. The missed dates and lack of communication. How much he drove her crazy. She told him how she used to hate volleyball because of him, how the very thought of it had once made her sick - until she met Daichi, that is.

Of course, she made sure to tell him how much he had changed her life; how much more confident she’s grown since meeting him, and how much she loved it, and how much she loved him.

He leans down, stealing a kiss from her, stroking her cheek with his thumb and she hums happily, melting into his touch. He pulls away from her, only barely, “do you even know how much you mean to me?”

She pushed his face away, blushing furiously - they’re completely unaware of the audience they’ve gathered as she complains about his sappy words, waving her hand harshly in front of him. Of course, he responds by lifting her high up and spinning her around, pulling her closer when she squeals with joy. For once, she’s taller than him, cupping his cheeks, pressing her forehead against his; strong arms around her waist, making sure she’s steady as she giggles, their breath intertwining.

----

There was no questioning that she was invited to his actual games and not just practises, she didn’t need to ask twice.

When his eyes sought her out in the stands, he found her standing there proudly, something on her cheeks and wearing his jersey. Even from here, he can see how anxious she is, but when they meet eyes, that seems to drip off of her, replaced by such pure love that has his heart swelling.

“Did you get her that?” Daichi asked Kiyoko, obviously meaning the jersey.

“She asked me to, even offered to pay,” Kiyoko giggled softly, brushing her hair out of her face - his eyes still hadn’t left her, pride swirling around him knowing she was there to cheer him on and nobody else.

“Of course she did.” He chuckled - it was too obvious that he didn’t want to take his eyes off of her for a second, but when he did, he knew she was still watching him. Only him.

As they play against Ohgiminami, he can hear her voice loud and clear in the crowd. Every single receive; every single serve; every single spike; there is no limit to her cheering - knowing how quiet she’d been barely a few months ago made him want to cheer with her, because for once she was using her voice, and it was for him. Because she loved him.

After Karasuno won, she ran directly into his arms, not caring about the sweat dripping off his body - relishing in every single part of him because why wouldn’t she? He finally gets a good look at what’s on her cheeks, ‘#’ on the left and ‘1’ on the right. He could have cried right there - she’d painted his number on her cheek. But he didn’t choose to pull her just a little closer and grab at the loose parts of his shirt on her. “You look cute, you should wear my clothes more often.” She rolled her eyes, swatting at his chest.

“I’m only wearing this because you're playing today,” she sighed heavily, crossing her arms under her chest, “don’t expect this treatment all the time or I’ll start wearing Asahi’s stuff.” He chuckled at the idea of that, shaking his head lightly.

“Whatever you say, firecracker.”

----

She was there the next day, sporting the same outfit.

At some points, he’s worried that she’s going to tumble over the barrier because she’s leaning forward so far - thank God Saeko is there to pull her back - still she carries on.

“You’re such a dummy,” she mumbles sadly, squeezing his hand in the infirmary. Of course he’d collided with Tanaka, something always had to go wrong in one of these matches. “You came together like magnets.” She tried to make him smile, and it worked, but the pain he felt was too much.

“I lost a tooth.” He showed it to her proudly - she grimaced, holding out her hand. Even if the gesture made him cringe, he gave it to her and watched her examine it.

“Can I keep it?” She asked.

“What is wrong with you?” Amusement flowed from him and she rolled her eyes.

“That way, whenever Tanaka makes fun of me, I can show him what he did.”

“You’re a sadist.”

She shrugged, “you love it.”

“I don’t know, I think you’re pretty creepy.”

“Whatever, magnet-boy.”

----

The night before their match against Shiratorizawa, Daichi called her, worried about how she was going to be. “I told you, Daichi, I’ll be fine.” She mumbled groggily - it was late, after all - but he couldn’t get the worry out of his mind.

“I know, I just… I worry about you.” He sighed, running his hand through his hair and flopping onto his bed.

“Really?” Sarcasm dripped from her tongue. “I couldn’t tell.” He heard her roll over, probably snuggling closer to her pillow. “I promise I’ll be okay, now can I go to sleep?”

“If he says anything to you…”

“I doubt he will.” She assured him, “but if he does, then it won’t matter, because the only opinion of me that matters…” she paused, letting him work out how she was going to end that sentence before she smirked, “is Kiyoko’s.”

“Hey!” Daichi cried out, there was still an amusement in his voice.

“Oh, I guess you, too.” She snickered.

“Yeah, I mean, having you cheer me on is nice, but hearing Suga’s voice.” He mocked a chef’s kisses, drawing giggles out of her.

“I’m telling him you said that.”

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Oh, I dare.”

He listened as she tapped on her screen, before she airily laughed down the phone; of course she’d messaged in the group chat, he saw her message clear on his screen.

Daichi just said he wants to hear Suga screaming his name.

When he gasped, she laughed louder. “I hate you.”

“Oh my God, we have something in common.”

He rolled his eyes.

They said their goodnights, promising to see each other the next morning - even if they both knew it was inevitable, it was still nice to hear it.

----

Across the court was Ushijima Wakatoshi; Daichi watched the captains eyes flicker up towards the Karasuno stands as she cheered so loudly. He hadn’t even started playing, but she was already so excited to see how he’d do. With no shame, she blew a thousand kisses in his direction.

He waved gleefully before turning back to Ushijima, his eyes piercing into his skull. Daichi smirked, as if to say that's right, she’s mine. He puffed out his chest and continued warming up.

Only Suga seemed to notice him strutting around, but he didn’t bring it up, just snickered to himself - he’d been one of the few she had told about her past relationship with Shiratorizawa’s ace - of course, he’d immediately wanted to fight him, but she’d said it wasn’t worth it. That Daichi was the only one she really cared about when it came to opinions, and even then he’d always tell her the same thing.

He could remember her ranting to him a few nights ago about how happy he makes her because if I don’t get it out right now, I might just explode with happiness! And he’d listen, because she was so important to Daichi, and that meant she was important to him.

Daichi sucked in a breath, preparing himself for the game of a lifetime. He knew she was watching him, his number on her cheeks, his jersey on her body. That alone was enough to calm his nerves.

----

“They won…” she mumbled to the side a second after the game finished, the silence that filled the gym was deafening. “They won.” Her voice a little louder until she started to jump up and down, tears streaming down her cheeks. “You won!” She screamed out, leaning over the barrier, almost falling over until Saeko pulled her and Yachi into a tight hug.

Her heart pounded so deep within her chest that it ached, everything they’d worked hard for had finally come to fruition and she got to be here to see it.

The moment the teams were excused from the court, she ran as fast as she could, almost tripping down the stairs and bumping into several people, barely offering them an apology before she bolted off in the direction.

Just before she could reach Daichi, she ran directly into someone else. She looked up quickly, ready to apologise before she froze; the piercing red eyes of Tendou Satori were enough to make her panic. “Oh, Tendou?” Her voice was soft. She nervously tapped her foot, wanting this interaction to be done with soon.

“It’s been a while,” Tendou chuckled, slowly dragging his eyes over her outfit, he sneered, “didn’t know you would be supporting the other team? What happened to your Shiratorizawa pride?” She stared up at him, confusion laced in her features before being washed away by a mild aggression.

“I got to Karasuno.” She said coolly; somehow her words cut deep into the blocker, making him think that there wasn’t a thing he could say that would throw her off her game. “And besides, I’m here to support my boyfriend.” Almost as if he had heard her, Daichi appeared. She grinned so wildly, anxious to run up to her captain and shower him with love.

“I thought you hated volleyball.” He sneered. She sighed, dropping her smile for a second to stare back at him.

“I used to, but things change when you find the right person,” her eyes met Daichi’s and she smiled softly, reaching up to pat his arm, “you played good.” She waved him goodbye before full-on sprinting towards Daichi.

His open arms were a welcome embrace as she leapt through the air, landing perfectly in them. He stank of sweat, soaked in the stuff, too - she didn't care. Because he was here. She was in his arms. He won. “Oh my God, I’m so proud of you.” She plastered his face with kisses, squealing as he twirled her around, pulling her closer to his chest. “You did it, baby, you won.” She nuzzled her nose against his, eliciting a flush on his cheeks that she just knew wasn’t from how hard he’d just worked. The sounds of Tsukishima mock-gagging at their affection only made her laugh.

“You’re just jealous you don’t have a gorgeous girlfriend, Tsukishima,” Daichi teased, eyes never wavering from her form.

“Well, she’s annoying, so I don’t want one.” Tsukishima turned his head away.

“And I was cheering you on, too, Tsukishima.” She put her hand against her chest, feigning pain as she flopped her head onto Daichi’s shoulder, obviously fake sobs made them all laugh.

Heavy footsteps didn’t draw away her attention from the man holding her in his arms; not until Daichi forced his eyes away to see who it was. She followed his gaze, locked eyes with Ushijima, any emotion on her face dropped immediately. He cleared his throat, staring at her, unblinking. It should have made her easy - there was a time when it would have made her uneasy - but that wasn’t today. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Anything you need to say to her,” Daichi carefully put her down on the ground, wrapping his arm around her in a way that screamed possessive to her, but she relished in it, “you can say to all of us, Toshi.” She inwardly snickered at the idea of him mocking Ushijima. His stare told her exactly what her boyfriend was thinking, if you even think of trying anything, I will beat your ass just like I did on the court. Tenderly, she rubbed his lower back, making sure to snuggle in extra close.

Ushijima’s stare still hadn't faltered from her face, zoning out the rest of the team, “I told you you were a distraction.”

The entire team seemed to set on fire behind her - no one said anything - waiting for her reaction was like pure torture.

They didn’t expect her to pull Daichi closer - as if there was any room between either of them anyway - and hum happily, “I’m not a distraction to the one that matters.

Daichi looks down at her like she’s just given him the world - in reality, she was his world. If he wasn’t mostly sane, he would have proposed to her right then and there. But then she’s leading him and the rest of the team away and he lets himself calm down.

Of course, the moment she gets outside, she's taking in such deep breaths that he knows how badly she was panicking. He watches her fall purposely onto the floor, laying flat on her back and covering her face, almost screaming into her hands.

He’s at her side in an instant, but then he sees the smile on her lips and he steps back.

“What got you so happy?” Suga leans down and offers her his hand, she takes it, being pulled to her feet with such ease.

“Because you won! I can’t get over it, like, Tanaka was like blam and Kageyama went whoosh-” they listened to her ramble, making random noises for each and every person, moving like an excited puppy.

Daichi had never loved her more in that moment. He knew, deep in his heart, that he had found the perfect girl for him.

whatever the boss asks for the boss will get, but not without a little indulgence from ran first. the piranha plant’s plastic teeth barely made a dent on mikey’s finger, rounded as its edges were, but it hangs off of it stubbornly, and ran pries it off with little difficulty and an airy chuckle. he carelessly throws it over his shoulder.

“yes, we must take care of this wound before it gets infected,” he laments with a sigh, though his face doesn’t lose its smile. with mikey’s now freed hand in his, he raises it up to his lips in order to press a gentle kiss against the nonexistent injury before pulling back to obediently wrap the requested bandaid around his finger. "what can i do to make you forgive me for exposing you to such danger?"

He spares a moment's glance for the piranha plant that clatters to the ground, rolling away into some dusty corner , out of sight , out of mind, out of the light.

There’s this space in his head , that goes back , that survives , no matter how often he tries to kill it. How far is he going today ? Five years , ten ? Mikey thinks of diners , school brawls , and hands that are so, so kind. Sunshine so bright he has to squint against the horizon. He’s going fast , and everything makes sense for once , like his head was screwed on right , and his heart is finally in the right place. The daydream is interrupted by the coquettish press of lips against his phantom wound , the most recent amongst the many that litters his . The only indication of surprise is expressed in the sharp inhale of breath.

What is this really ? What does it mean when someone plays the same game as you with mischievous carnivorous plants and patterned bandaids ? Maybe there was a time he had an answer , or more accurately , never needed one. but here in this extant world he’s secluded himself away to — he desperately searches for one.

He doesn’t understand this at all , but he isn’t unhappy , he isn’t empty.

With a huff , he turns his chair at an angle , no longer willing to face Ran as he hugs the brown bag to his chest.

“ — Are you really sorry ? ”

" If you are , I want to try ice cream taiyaki next time , but they melt fast so you have to be quick if you get one. ”

Day Four: Long Distance Relationship

Writer’s Month 2020

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Pairing: Kagami x Marinette

Across the Oceans, I Still See You

Kagami and Marinette didn’t exactly have a conventional relationship after leaving university. Their chosen professions seemed to lead them in opposite directions – much to their friends and family’s dismay. After all, how can you maintain a relationship with someone you rarely see?

Alya looked mournfully at her bestie. “I kinda feel sorry for you Marinette. With you and Kagami flying around the world every week, it’s like you guys never have the chance to just exist together – not like how Nino and I can. You guys don’t get that closeness.”

Marinette let her pencil slow over her sketchbook, attention grabbed by the screen across from her. Kagami was rambling – as much as she could ramble – about her day while she went through her work out routine. The fencer was at their apartment in Kyoto, and she was taking advantage of the private gym. Marinette couldn’t help but take in the view.

Floor to ceiling windows let in the summer sun, and it glinted off the sweat dotting Kagami’s arms and face. She had just finished her warmup routine and was going through an all body workout – mountain climbers, push ups, step ups, lunges, chest presses and arm curls. In between breaths she described the dress she saw at dinner with her mother. “It was an affront on the senses, koishii. The fabric was clearly cheap, the beadwork was shoddy, and the style was one I do not believe even you could make look good. Why people decide to show off every line and curve of their body within skin-tight polyester silk, I do not know, but I would prefer it if they did it far way from me. Wouldn’t you agree tentou-mushi?”

When Marinette didn’t reply, she held her push up at the lowest point and looked towards the camera. “Nette-chan? Is everything alright?”

Marinette blushed and looked away. “Sorry, yes, I agree, polyester silk should be banned from being used for anything but bag linings, you’re absolutely correct, I pity you for having to witness that.” This was all said in one breath, and she winced.

Sure enough, when she looked up, Kagami had come closer. “Were you distracted, mon chérie?”

With a huff, Marinette went back to her designs. “What do you expect when you look like that?”

“It’s alright Nette-chan. I watch you too,” Kagami winked. She had obviously been spending too much time around Adrien. “You get the most adorable wrinkles when you’re concentrating.”

That drew a giggle from Marinette, who turned to wink back at the camera. “Can’t wait till next week mon vouivre. Then we can get hot and sweaty together.”

That made Kagami, infamous ice queen, blush to the roots of her hair.

“How do you keep the romance alive Kagami?” Adrien asked over his hot chocolate – poor sunshine child had never quite gotten the taste for coffee. “It’s not like you can surprise Marinette with a romantic walk through the cherry blossom trees or have a picnic at the Eiffel tower if you guys aren’t in the same country.”

The video call clicked through to the view of dozens of small pale pink blooms. After a moment, they shook.

“What are these?!” Came Marinette’s unimpressed voice. The blossoms moved to show Marinette’s flushed face.

“I believe they are cherry blossoms, koishii.” Kagami resembled a cat who’d gotten the cream, the canary, and was contemplating the fish in the bowl. “Surprised?”

“Surprised?” Marinette screeched. “Gami-chan, I have seven bouquets of flowers in my hotel room!” She moved the camera so Kagami could see the tiny desk. Sitting on the surface were seven red fluted vases, each filled with a different kind of flower. There were pale orchids, bright pink dahlias, deep red roses, large sunflowers, purple-pink peonies, and orange tulips. One of the vases was empty – it used to hold cherry blossoms.

“Exactly. Seven bouquets for our seventh anniversary.” Kagami raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me that you forgot?”

“Of course I didn’t! Mon cher, you could have just gotten me seven flowers.” Marinette sat down on an armchair, jostling the camera before it came into focus on her face. “I’m gonna get you back for that.”

Kagami chuckled. “Of course you will koi.”

There was a knock.

“What is that?” She asked suspiciously.

Immediately, Marinette began to grin. “I believe someone is knocking at your door, my dearest Gami-chan. Perhaps you should go and answer it.”

Kagami was immediately suspicious. Leaving the phone propped up on a book so Marinette could see, she went and opened the door. There, she was met with the smiling face of Madame Dupain-Cheng.

“Hello, Kagami dear. Special delivery from Marinette!”

She slowly turned around. Marinette was cackling. “Enjoy your dinner mon vouivre!” She called before hanging up.

“That sneaky…” Kagami turned and smiled just a little awkwardly at her girlfriends’ mother. “Thank you very much for delivering this Madame Cheng.”

Her response was a careless wave and a more careful deposit of eight different boxes. “Please, call me Sabine dear. And I was happy too – Marinette was so excited when she made the order.”

The older woman let herself out while Kagami took the boxes to her table. There was a delivery box from their favourite restaurant – the same restaurant they went to on their first date. The other seven boxes each held a different kind of dessert – red and yellow macaroons, a cream filled chocolate éclair, strawberry filled dango, three red bean taiyaki, a large slice of opera cake topped with marzipan roses, a butterfly shaped palmier (or as Kagami knew them, genji pie) and in the largest box, a miniature croquembouche with black, red and gold glaze.

Kagami couldn’t help but laugh. She snapped a photo at the open boxes and texted it to Marinette: I believe you have ‘gotten me back good’. Have a wonderful anniversary koishii.

“Are you ever scared Marinette?” Juleka asked quietly. This was the first time she’d been away from Rose for an extended period of time. “Of Kagami finding someone different – someone she thinks is – is better?”

“Marinette, I believe I am going to stab someone. Please send bail money to the New York Police Department.”

“Who’s done what this time?” She laughed, zipping across the room on her chair to grab another bobbin.

“A particularly irritating competitor who will not be irritating anymore.”

“Gami-chan, you look horrid in orange. Think of what I will have to endure if you end up in prison!” Marinette quickly threaded her machine with ease of long practise and started pinning the shoulders of her most recent commission.

“If they do not find any evidence, I cannot be convicted.” Despite this, Kagami was finally sounding calmer.

“What did they do, mon cher?”

“I was… propositioned.” The fencer growled out. “Apparently because my girlfriend isn’t in the country, Madame Sebold believed I would be… amenable to an illicit… rendezvous in the changing rooms.” Kagami was breaking out the more formal vocabulary – she was clearly pissed.

Marinette’s hands froze over the pins. “I see.” She said quietly. “What exactly is this woman’s name?”

“You do not look good in orange either Nette-chan. The woman has been dealt with.”

“Are you okay Kagami? I don’t have my tablet for a proper video call, but I could use my phone?” She reached around the mound of fabric in preparation.

A laugh crackled through the phone. “No koishii, I have to go back out in a moment. I just wished to hear your voice.”

“Well then, listen all you want.” Marinette smiled softly. “I wish I was there though.”

“Oh? I do not believe Ladybug coming along and beating up an American fencer would be good press.”

“Ah, so she’s American.”

“Marinette.” Oops, that was Kagami’s no-nonsense tone. “I have handled things here. I do not want you to sully yourself dealing with such people. I assure you; Madame Sebold has been made well aware of her mistakes and thus shall not make them again.”

“Aww, mon vaillant vouivre.” Marinette cooed. “Were you protecting my honour?”

“A dragon always protects their hime.”

“So, Miss Tsurugi, as a fencing prodigy and candidate for the Tokyo Olympic Games, do you struggle with all the demands on your time? What does your girlfriend think of everything? I understand that she has similar time constraints – Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a rising star in the fashion world and regularly tours with Jagged Stone. Does this cause your relationship any strain?”

(“Good night mon cher.” Marinette said in the half-light, lying back on her bed half a world away.

“Sweet dream, koishii.”)

(Something to add to our holiday list! The text message came through at lunchtime, with a photo attached of Marinette pointing up at a sign for the Fushan Mountain in China and it’s hiking trails.)

(Kagami grinned softly at her propped phone. Marinette was waving her hands as she regaled her with the tale of a sneezing model and incorrectly placed flower beds. There was a plate of pizza before both of them.)

(Kagami started as her phone pinged just before her match. Opening it, she couldn’t help but smile. Have fun mon vouivre! Show them exactly why they should be afraid! The text was punctuated with red and yellow hearts, as well as a ladybug.)

“I love Marinette with all my heart. And I know she loves me. Distance can’t change that.”

Kagami’s eyes were immediately drawn to Marinette as she walked towards the baggage claim. Her left hand was sweaty around the bouquet – cherry blossoms and roses framed by vivid orange tulips. In her back pocket, she fingered a velvet box.

SCENARIO REQUEST: ❝unavoidable gravitation.❞

[ Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia ] [ Characters: Bakugou Katsuki ]

「Bakugou has a shy yet friendly classmate. Even with your shy demeanor, you were still able to befriend everyone in the class. He soon realized that everyone was gravitating towards you after spending so much time with you, seeing that you were a rather easygoing person. And Bakugou couldn’t escape the your charms. 」

BAKUGOU KATSUKI

“Nice to meet with you.”

The first impression Bakugou had on you was that you were shy. It was as if a single noise will make you shriek and jump. You were always formal, calling everyone by their surnames and never forgetting the honorifics whenever you called someone. Your speech was formal but when you were talking to the girls, you dropped the formal speech and talked with them casually. Perhaps, it was because as time passed, the girls started to get comfortable around you.

Even for a quiet person who tends to avoid crowded places, you seem to have some sort of charm that everyone can’t help but be attracted to. The class had warmed up to you as time passed. Bakugou was the same, the more time he spend his time with you, he seemed to like you. And it eventually turns into a crush. You had a personality that was likable and talking with you was easy. Bakugou had already long acknowledge you as a friend and doesn’t mind hanging out with you from time to time.

Sometimes it would be after school where you would have short trips to the convenience store or the nearest shopping district to do a little window shopping. However, most of the time, you would only buy some food to eat on the way back home. When the dorms were established, it became much more often because everyone was heading back to the same place.

His class always had some sort of plans to go out together. It usually happens once in a month and the one who suggests may vary from time to time. Those plans were usually to deepen the bond between classmates but they were mostly cancelled because there’s always someone who can’t make it on that day. Today had been one of the days where everyone can tag along. All of you decided to walk around town today and shop a little.

“Do you want some ice cream? They’re selling ones with taiyaki cones!” Uraraka pointed to a store nearby.

“Oh! I’ll have some! Are you going to have some too, [First Name]?” Ashido pulled you aside for a second.

“Taiyaki cones? I wonder if they have topping with that.....” you mumbled as you followed the two girls.

The rest who weren’t ordering decided to wait nearby, some had decided to visit other stalls and buy other snacks to eat. Instead of settling for something sweet, Bakugou found himself purchasing a spicy curry bun. Everyone then decided to stand at the side so they wouldn’t bother the people passing by. There, you all begin to enjoy your snacks. With its wonderfully crispy outside and soft interior, there was no way someone wouldn’t drool over this.

“What did you get, Bakugou?” Kirishima asked.

“What does it look like to you?” the male shot back.

“That’s curry bread from the store just over there right?” you questioned the ash blonde, taking note of the round bread he had in his hands. He had already took a bite and you could see the curry filling. The curry bread looks very crispy

“It’s really delicious, maybe I should get some.....”

“Here.” Bakugou moved his bun so that it was right by your side. You glanced back and forth at the bun and then at the male who offered you some of his food.

“A-Are you sure?” you asked sheepishly, gazing at him with questioning eyes. Bakugou grunted, moving to closer to you as if to voice his affirmation. He expected you to tear off a piece of the bread and eat it. However, with the ice cream you were holding onto, it might be a little difficult. As he was about to use his hands to give you a piece, you took a small bite of his curry bread, surprising him. The sudden movements had you pressing up against his arm.

He held in his breath, feeling the warmth of your body on his own for a few moments. With the way he was standing, he could feel the skin of your bare thigh brushing against his hand. Bakugou internally cursed to himself, it was almost as if it lasted ages when in reality it was only a few seconds. You pulled away quickly, humming at the flavors that melted in your mouth. He let out the breath he had been holding in and moved away from you

“Do you want some, Bakugou-kun?” you offered your half eaten ice cream to the ash blonde who was standing next to you. He looked a little bit surprised at your offer, he began to wonder what made you say that.

“I mean, you gave me some of your curry bread so this is like a repayment.” you said.

“I don’t need it. Keep it to yourself.” Bakugou grumbled in response, refusing your offer. You retracted your hand and frowned a little, not expecting to be rejected. At that moment, you believe that Bakugou had preferred spicy food over sweets.

“But it’s delicious.” you said before licking your ice cream again. Bakugou watched as you continued eating your ice cream. He didn’t want to say it out loud but he did want to have a try.

“Bakugou doesn’t really like ice cream. All he eats is spicy stuff.” Kirishima told you.

“Really? You don’t like it? Have you ever even tried eating ice cream?” you said in a surprised manner.

“Of course I have! I’m not that sad!” Bakugou exclaimed before taking another bite of his curry bun.

“Well, I’ve never seen you eat any sweets before.” the red head muttered.

“Ice cream is actually good for you. It stimulates your brain, it’s made of milk so it had calcium too. Ice cream also makes you happy, apparently! Look at those women who eat ice cream after a break up. They’re eating it as if it can make them happier.” Kaminari listed off.

“You’re usually dumb but when it comes to dumb stuff like this, you sure know your stuff.” Jirou muttered.

“Maybe Bakugou is always grumpy because he doesn’t eat ice cream.The ash blonde grew irritated at his friends’ pestering and turned towards you.

“Whatever, I’ll fucking have some alright. So shut up!” he glared at his classmates before taking a huge bite of your matcha ice cream. It was surprisingly a huge bite and you were worried that he might damage his teeth or something.

“Isn’t it cold?” you murmured mostly to yourself.

“It’s delicious right?” you asked with a hopeful look in your eyes.

“It’s just okay.” Bakugou replied.

“Do want another try?” you offered, waving your ice cream in front of him again.

“I just had a bite, so no.”

“But you just took a bite, it must be really cold so you probably didn’t taste anything. Just another taste wouldn’t hurt.” you urged him. Bakugou hesitantly took another bite of your ice cream, making sure to take a smaller portion of it.

“You got a taste of it right? It delicious, isn’t it?”

“The taste is there so I guess it’s fine.” the male mumbled.

“If it’s [First Name], Bakugou does everything in a heartbeat for her.” Sero teased.

“That’s because Bakugou has a soft spot for her.” Kaminari further teased.

“Shut up, you ripoff Pikachu!”

Overthinking

Prompt: Choosing little one’s name together and reassuring Shoto that he’s going to be a good dad.

Shoto Todoroki x Female Reader

Fluffy <3

Aged-Up AU

“Do you guys want to know the sex of the baby?”

You nod, “Definitely.”

Shoto nods in agreement. He takes your hand and gives it a small squeeze.

“You have a beautiful baby girl in there.”

You smile at the screen than you look up at Shoto, mesmerized by the baby. “You’re gonna be a great dad.”

He smiles down at you and gives your forehead a small peck.

“Alright, everything checks out with us here. The baby is perfect where she is at with development and mom is healthy. So, we can make an appointment for next month.”

You two leave the doctor’s office and get on the road home.

“So, we’re having a baby girl.”

“Yeah.” You rub your stomach. “You thinking of any names?”

“I want to name her after my mom.” Shoto says, “Or at least, incorporate her name.”

“I like that idea. Rei can be her middle name.”

“Sure, anything you have in mind?”

“Yeah, I like the name Kisa. Oh,” you sit up in the seat and tap his arm, “Can we stop for taiyaki?”

Shoto quickly looks over at you, “Anything else my queen?”

“It’s for the baby.” You correct. Using being pregnant to your advantage.

He chuckles. “Sure, but that’s a cute name.” Shoto looked at you as you held your stomach, “Kisa. Is there a story that goes with the name?”

“There's a manga I used to read when I was a kid, a story where the little girl gets picked on but in the end learns to love herself and how to be brave...I hope that our little girl can do the same. Plus I like the name, it's cute.”

“Kisa Rei, it has a nice ring to it.” He takes your hand and gives it a soft kiss. “I love it.”

You smile and return the kiss on his hand.

“So, is that her name?”

“Definitely one for the drawing board.”

You watch your husband push back his hair. As you ride in silence with him stealing glances at your stomach. “Are you still nervous?”

He shrugs. “A little.”

You grab his hand again. “You’re going to be the best father in the entire world. I know it and our baby knows it.”

He doesn’t respond. Just as Shoto does when he is unsure about himself. You had talked about this before right when you found out you were pregnant. Then again after your first ultrasound. Basically, anytime about the baby. Shoto just needs constant reminders that he’s going to be a phenomenal father.

Yet as unsure as he was about the baby, he knows he wants the baby. He helps you out. Constantly calls you beautiful and helps you even when you don’t need help. He does research and has read parenting books. When it comes to anything else in his life he’s always just 100% confident in whatever he does, but when it comes to parenting, he's scared.

“We want these kids for all the right reasons. We want a family, not a spawn to defeat the number 1 hero. Which would be incredibly awkward since Deku is the number one hero and he’s going be her godfather.”

“Its happened before.” Shoto joked.

“In movies, animes, and books. This isn’t that, it’s our life and I know you’re going be a great father Shoto.”

“Didn’t someone say art is a reflection of life?”

“You’re thinking too much into this, no one is going to overthrow anyone this isn’t Greek mythology.”

He laughs.

“Besides it won’t just be you. Deku will be learning how to take care of her too.” You give his hand a few squeezes, “NOOOO! We missed the turn for the taiyaki!” You watch as the taiyaki disappears from your reach.

“I’m sorry.” Shoto looks over his shoulder to see if he can make a U-turn.

“It’s okay. We’ll just get one tomorrow if I’m still craving it.”

“I thought the baby wanted it.” he teased.

“You caught me. I’m actually selfish, it’s for me, and this baby is a parasite stealing my energy, food, body, and life. I just wanted a taiyaki for myself but this baby is going to enjoy it and then crave it and make me eat all the taiyaki and then I’ll get sick of taiyaki and won’t want to eat anymore but that’s all this parasite is going to want and I don’t want to eat anymore taiyaki, but I want taiyaki.”

Shoto stares at you with the most loving concerned look on his face as he drives shifting his eyes from you to the road. “Parasite?”

“That’s beside the point, love. This baby will be the happiest, luckiest, and most loved child to have ever graced this earth especially with a father like you.”

He grabs your hand, “Thank you y/n. I love you. I’ll get you some ice cream at home. Now, let’s just say that we have a boy, what would you name him?”

"Daichi."

“Daichi?”

“Yeah.”

“Sounds like an edgy anime name.”

“Cause it is! One of my childhood crushes from one of my favorite mangas!”’

Shoto blinked at you unsure what to say next.

“Or Leon. I like that one too.”

“Is that another anime boy?”

“Video game boy.”

“Maybe.” He shakes his head with a chuckle.

You squeeze his hand. “I love you, Shoto. You’re going to be the best father.”

“Thank you and I love you too, y/n.”

If you can guess where Kisa comes from kudos to you. Hint: It’s an anime that they just announced that they are rebooting in April and I am so excited! <3 Daichi from the manga Kitchen Princess.

Leon from a video game. Hint: He was also in a recently released in remastered game! Besides the point, I hope you enjoyed the story!

Kiriya Nozomi {BNHA}

(Kat)

First thing’s first, we’re going to break down the name.

Okay.

Kiriya Nozomi. I wasn’t given the Kanji spelling, and unlike the last OC whose name couldn’t be translated or spelled in any other way because of how specific it was, I’ll have to use whatever Kanji makes the most sense.

For starters, Kiriya is a male name, but it can be a female name too, even though it’s less commonly used as such. The most common meaning its given is “sturdy arrow” if translated directly, which explains why “Kiri” meaning “sturdy” or “heavy” is in Kirishima’s name. The name can mean a lot of things, including “fog call” but we’re going to go with what the first thing I could think of translation wise was.

On to the last name. Nozomi means “Hope” but it can also be translated to “stagnation” if written in Hiragana. This Kanji spelling of hope refers to a wish or dream sort of hope.

The translation they may have been going for is “sturdy arrow field” or “fog call hope” or “sturdy arrow hope.”

Or the creator chose two random Japanese names and called it good. Let’s go with that, because none of the translations combined make a lot of sense.

Also, why is she wearing white socks? Nobody at UA high school wears white socks. They wear grey/black tights or knee high grey/black socks.

Some examples.

Moving on.

Status: Alive Country of Origin: Japan Likes: Read books, taiyaki, ice cream, pocky, friends, famaly and cats. Dislikes: Say the word “die”,

Bet she hates Bakugou, then.

hurt your friends , ecchi people Occupation: Student Department: Department of Heroes Class: 1- A Affiliation: Yuuei Voice Actor: Midori Tsukimiya (Eucliwood Hellscythe)

Never seen that anime, but okay sure.

Appearance Kiriya has a normal structure of light skin red eyes and long black hair, the days in junior high school, she wore a uniform dark blue sailor. In Yuuei, she wears the uniform standard female: a light gray suitover a white shirt and dark green skirt, along with a red tie. Kiriya generally uses normal school shoes although sometimes is seen with black boots, she has a belt in her right leg, also wears white socks.

No she doesn’t. You aren’t allowed to alter your uniform.

Personality Because of the uncontrollable nature of her powers as a necromancer, she communicates without using facial expressions or spoken words, only “speaking” writing in a notepad or asked her friend of childhood that has telepathic powers. At the first time, it seems to be a person without emotions and changes (or have a preference not speak), but actually it is a kind of heart to your friends and other people.

Uh so she’s a Kuudere.

Fantastic.

She experiences severe pain whenever her magic is activated, and she claims that even if she were to die her magic would continue uncontrolled.

Magic? There is no magic in this universe. You mean her quirk?

She does not like the word “death” being used lightly, especially since her abilities can easily take away a person’s life.

The same goes for pretty much any character I could name from the series.

Likewise, to protect her friends from her uncontrollable ability, she developed the habit of writing her feelings to others instead of speaking to them. Kiriya later admits that she is ashamed and even terrified of her abilities, and she wished for someone to be by her side in spite of her frightening ability. It appears that she has found that person.As shealways wore the body transformation powers when she said she had necromancy powers she began to talk a little more.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS BITCH’S QUIRK?

SHE WEARS A QUIRK??

????????

And now she already speaks and shows expreções without writing in Notepad.

Okay so “expreções” apparently means “expressions in Portuguese. But I don’t speak Portuguese so I had to google that.

History Kiriya was born with two quirks, one that belonged to her father (body transformation) and another her mother (necromancer).

NO SHE CANNOT HAVE TWO QUIRKS UNLESS SHE’S TODOROKI, WHO WAS THE RESULT OF A QUIRK MARRIAGE.

Kiriya lived a peaceful life in a small village with her grandmother because as much as the father and mother were heroes so they were always out to save people from cities, towns and villages around the world, the reason why they wanted to leave Kiriya with grandma it was not to have to take it with them.

Okay that’s understandable. If you’re a pro hero, you might leave your kid with their grandparents or a relative.

Kiriya developed its quirks when she was 4 years old and going from there that her life ended peacefully. A quiet day some villains attacked the village where she was, they were looking for her parents and so were the house where she was the grandmother who had been rather a Hero tried to defend both the village as Kiriya, the villains attacked the grandmother leaving her weak, Kiriya did not know how to use their quirks very well and when she saw her maguada

This apparently means “hurt” in, again, Portuguese.

grandmother and the whole almost destroyed village Kiriya can not control herself and used her mother’s quirk that was necromancer that was very powerful, the that caused much of the village destruction, eventually killing the bad guys and some innocent people when Kriya came to herself she was aterrorisada

“Terrified.”

Also, you still haven’t told me what her quirk does. All I know is that it’s impossibly lethal.

for killing the bad guys and innocent people eventually faint. Kiriya went to the hospital as her grandmother

She went in place of her grandmother? Is her grandmother dead?

when she woke her mother was the next. Quando

“When.”

she was discharged, her mother took her to her aunt’s house, as her grandmother was in a coma and her father was gone,

wHERE DID HE GO?!?!?!?!

her mother could not take care of her aunt asked to treat it. Kiriya got a gande

“Gande” means nothing in Portuguese, but it apparently means “dry” in Chinese, which tells me nothing of value.

They probably meant grande, meaning big.

hate her mother for leaving with her aunt and also if she was up there when the village had gone probably attacked the n-to be in a coma and grandmother would have been deaths.

That sentence made no grammatical sense whatsoever.

Or run-on sentence.

None of this makes a lot of sense, I’ve realized.

Also, question, why, if this girl’s quirk is so powerful, hasn’t she been fucking quarentined?

If she killed a village full of people at four years old, who knows how powerful she’ll be as an adult?

Put your grandmother in a coma?

Let’s have you live with your aunt.

Kiriya began training their quirks to control them although she did not like to use the quirk of necromancer,

I will ask again, what does that quirk do?

A necromancer is someone who raises the dead, but nothing in the the backstory I just read implies that that’s what the quirk does.

but as she did not want to happen is amesma thing she had to train but promised he would never again use powers except in case estremo

I’m imagining that means “extreme” without using google.

if although she sometimes uses the power without realizing it, as even their words can be powerful so she does not talk much.

So this girl is just radiating power.

Quirk and Abilities

Oh good, finally.

-> Necromancer /Body Transformation or Trans <-

Reality Warping : Kiriya’s primary ability is the power to tamper with the string of fate and alter reality. It has been shown that whatever she says becomes reality, with no certain limits to her powers except for Kiriya’s resistance to the side effects of using her powers.

Since was this included? I thought her quirks were body transformation and necromancy. Not fucking this.

Resurrection : Although not directly seen, she has shown powers of resurrection. It is unknown if there are any restrictions or limits to this ability.

There are drawbacks to every quirk, bruh.

Death Inducement : By saying the word “die”, Kiriya is able to kill a person in an instant. However, using this power puts an immense strain in Kiriya’s part, causing her to experiences intense headaches.

If she ever wanted to be a hero she would never ever be able to use that.

Also, in the likes/dislikes section you said she hated saying the word “die.”

Healing : It has been shown that she has the ability to heal the wounds of others, but as a side-effect she feels pain equal to the amount of damage she healed from that person. In a sense, the wound or damage is transfered to her.

This, again, has nothing to do with the two quirks mentioned before. But it has a drawback, which is a first.

Armor and Gauntlets : Eu’s armor and gauntlets are used to suppress her powers. There are instances (although these are few and far in between) where she has taken off the armor. It is unknown what amount of damage she could deal if she fought without them on.

How overpowered this bitch is is making me physically angry.

Regeneration: Kiriya can regenerate parts of your body in less than 1 second, but by consequence if she really use their regeneration for a long time it may end up passing out or getting umovél for a while.

Eyes of Death: Kiriya to look at a person when this angry she is able to kill the person with whom she is angry, she usually tries to keep calm in the battle to not use these powers when she’s justfrustrated she can is make the person become paralyzed or progetar person.

None of this has anything to do with necromancy.

ALSO HOW THE HELL IS SHE NOT FUCKING QUARANTINED?!?!? SHE CAN KILL PEOPLE WITH A LOOK? DUDE, LOCK THIS CHICK UP.

Currents of the Abyss: Kiriya when using this power she is able to call on many links in the chain of blades that can dismember human bodies with ease if necessary .She usually uses it only to grab the opponent to it then attack or use attack as the back.

But why?

Why are all of these so violent?

This ability also sounds like a goddamn Pokemon attack, I may note.

Transformation Ability or Trans: Kiriya’s signature ability is her transformation ability otherwise known as the Trans-ability. This ability allows her to turn almost any part of her body into almost any inanimate objects (preferably weapons or tools used for combat) or reshape the size and figure of her body. Kiriya considers her power to be a “cursed power” and that it can only be used for hurting people, however, she is truly able to use her powers for harmless and trivial purposes with safe precision.

This is actually a reasonable quirk. But why is it cursed?

And, it again has no fucking drawbacks.

Weapon Transformation: This ability gives her the power to change any and all parts of her body into weapons like her hands turning into blades, claws or huge mechanical gauntlets. Kiriya mostly uses this ability to create weapons from her hair, she has also been shown to create non-weapon objects such a frying pan or even some medical equipment but is still useful against opponents.

I’m laughing at this because I’m just imagining the chainsaw hand from Ash vs Evil Dead and Army of Darkness.

Hair Manipulation: Kiriya’s most notable ability is her control over her hair. She can control its movements, extend it’s reach and uses it to create giant fists and dragon heads. She can even solidify her hair to form metallic objects like sword blades, metal teeth, battle axe, spiked maces, drills, hammer, wrecking balls. etc. She can also use his hair for create puppet.

Okay, this is so different from the other quirk that it could be another quirk by itself.

Also, the dragon head thing is awfully specific.

Body Transformation: Kiriya is able to change her bodies size and measurements to look more mature and adult-like.

The growing part goes with the initial description.

But the maturity thing doesn’t really go with this bullshit quirk whatsoever. You never gave her any sort of Nymphadora Tonks-esque metamorphmagus power.

But I’ll give it a dubious pass.

Partial Animal Transformation: She is also able to change parts of her body into animal-like features that gives her extra capabilities, growing a pair of white feathered wings from her back similer to an angel, to enable her fight. She can also turn her legs into a fish tail similar to a mermaid with gills that lets her breath and swim better underwater.

This, however, I will not give a pass. You said that she could turn parts of her body into inanimate objects, not fucking animals.

It said, and I quote,

“This ability allows her to turn almost any part of her body into almost any inanimate objects (preferably weapons or tools used for combat) or reshape the size and figure of her body.”

Attire Transmogrification: she can change their clothes more over a short period of time.

So let me get this straight, she can create clothes onto her body. But since this is her quirk, which is an extension of her body, and it’s not Yaoyorozu’s quirk, which uses atoms to create new things, she just uses her literal flesh to morph clothes onto her body?

That’s kind of horrible.

I just imagine the details of her skin still being present on top of the fake clothes and that’s a hell of a visual.

Wormholes: Kiriya can create wormholes with the use of her hair and teleport anything or anyone anywhere, even herself.

THAT IS NOT BODY TRANSFORMATION.

THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS.

THAT IS NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS.

Matter Manipulation: Kiriya is now able to freely control physical matter itself by transferring her Transform Ability into said matter. She has been shown being able to control water and solidify it, creating huge hands and is also able to stand on it. She can also control solid material like creating a wormhole in the ground shaped like a mouth with sharp teeth.

NEITHER IS THIS.

Energy based Weapons: Kiriya can now construct weapons made out of energy.

OR FUCKING THIS.

Arms : She generally turns her arms into blades, hammers and shields. Hair : She can turn her hair into fists, hammers, and microblades able to cut through steel. Skin : Kiriya turns her own skin into steel. Wings : She sprouts wings from her back to fly and fires the feathers as projectiles Tail : Kiriya transforms into a mermaid in order to swim more efficiently

INANIMATE OBJECTS BITCH.

STICK TO YOUR OWN WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF YOUR OC’S WEIRD ASS QUIRK.

Expert Hand-To-Hand Combatant : Apart from her powers, she also has excellent martial arts skills. Her physical combat skills nearly match her transformation power, meaning that even if her transformation powers were taken away from her, she could still win a fight with just her fighting skill. She has also shown to be skilled with a regular Katana (though created from her hair).

No.

You are copying Yaoyorozu but with hair.

Enhanced Strength : Kiriya is shown to have a great amount of strength despite her appearance.

Enhanced Agility and Reflexes : Kiriya has really good athletic skills, capable of doing somersaults, leaping over buildings and dodging certain impacts.

Leaping over buildings?

That’s uh... quite a reflex.

But in all seriousness, I can also do a somersault. It’s not like it’s hard.

Expert Tactician : Kiriya has seemgly proven herself to be an excellent tactician, as shown from observing her opponents and finding any sort of weakness.

Dark Mode/Spirity of the Abyss or Will of Abyss: It is one of the powers which it can use its two quirks at the same time, this mode is normally sealed.

When she uses it can evoke any weapons other than those that it already used with your quirk body transformation. She can also control your quirk of necromancer and can use it at will without getting hurt compared to when only uses it alone.

That literally goes against everything you described that necromancer quirk as before.

Also, since when has she been able to control other’s quirks?

Since never.

It gets its power, agility, flexiblidade,

This word doesn’t mean anything in any language but I assume creator-san meant “flexibility.”

speed among other things more accurate than usual and without any weakness, being able to predict the movements of the opponent antecipadamente.

This means “in advance” in Portuguese.

I’m going to go ahead and draw the conclusion that the author is from Portugal or Brazil and instead of looking up the English word when they forgot it, they just put the word they knew from their native language.

Which, in itself is fine, seeing as English is probably not their first language like it is mine, but since I’m nit-picky it’s driving me a little nuts having to google every other word.

When she is in this mode it is with a personality and would be almost expressions, but it can Also be through uncontrolled use if it for a long time.

If that sentence has an actual meaning, it is utterly lost to me.

logo- known When she uses this power becausebefore you feel an aura que surrounds it and it is with one hero costume a little different.

That... that doesn’t tell me what her logo is.

That sentence doesn’t even make sense.

She uses more powers of transformation than necromancer because of what happened when she was younger she used his necromancer powers to protect her grandmother eventually destroy her home and left her grandmother in a coma in hospital. So she uses the power of transformation.

That’s reasonable. But this is also probably riffing on Todoroki’s background and how he didn’t use his fire for years because of the resentment held for his father.

The powers of transformation came from her father and mother of the necromancer, another reason why it does not use the necromancer powers is due after what had happened to her grandmother, her mother left her with her aunt (because his father was disappeared)

Where though?

Where did he go?

This is something you can’t just leave out.

and never returned to speak with Kiriya leaving her very frustrated with her mother and not wanting to use the mother’s powers that caused much suffering to his grandmother.

Let me just note that her parents are utter assholes for not talking to their daughter after something so traumatizing happened. Like who the fuck does that?

Okay moving on.

So far Kiriya only has three known weaknesses

One very important part of making a good and interesting character is giving them flaws and weaknesses. Said traits humanize a character, and leaving them out or putting very few into your description is a fucking horrible move.

Do. Not. Do. That. Ever.

Fruit Rinds: Kiriya was peeling oranges/tangerines and ate some, however she starts feeling very sick. Aunt then explains that fruit rinds happen to be highly poisonous for Kiriya due to the powers of necromancer.

Fruit rinds?

ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?

HER WEAKNESS IS FRUIT RINDS?

OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND HOLY.

SHE DOESN’T HAVE EMOTIONAL WEAKNESSES OR TRAUMA FROM THE AWFUL SHIT THAT WENT DOWN IN HER VILLAGE, NO, HER WEAKNESS IS FUCKING

F R U I T R I N D S.

I’ve eaten an orange peel before and I assure you I am still alive and not poisoned.

Also I googled the words “fruit rind” and “necromancer” and got a whole not of nothing.

Her own power: The reason Kiriya power is her own weakness is because if she were to write die

I thought she had to say “die.”

while using her reality warping powers, it’d give her a massive headache, even if she is to talk it causes immense pain to herself.

I still have no goddamn idea how this quirk works.

It has nothing to do with necromancy from what I’ve observed, and it more resembles a sort of chaos quirk, if that’s a thing.

And if she is in the hero course there is no way in fresh hell that she would be allowed to use this damn death quirk under any circumstances.

Also she is able to heal but as a result she feels pain of who she is to heal. When gets an excessive stress on your heart, it can not analyze calmly and its quirks gone haywire completely.

The first part of this description made sense, but nothing after that made any grammatical sense.

Why does it put stress on her heart?

Who fucking knows at this point?

She is five stars on so many things just no.

The only character I can think of with such high stats is All Might and he’s overwhelmingly powerful. He’s also the number one hero so he has an excuse, and he has one for all, so again, he has an excuse.

She can’t be perfect at fucking everything.

AND YOU CAN’T BE STRONGER THAN ALL MIGHT.

Also, this is apparently her hero costume:

It’s actually relatively nice.

But as someone who has long hair, I’d pull my hair back if I were her.

Quantes

“Quotes.”

-"Hum ... I gave some advice, if you do not want to die then better not provoke the very death in person" [When she's angry]

?????

-"I despise common sense. I've seen the world from every possible angle. This cruel, ridiculous, beautiful world."

Okay dude.

You despise common sense? Common sense keeps people alive.

And I’ll bet your ass you havn’t seen the world from every angle. You’re like, 16. You’re my age.

Also, this is a Pandora Hearts quote.

-"I didn't want to use my powers because I didn't want to be traced here... but you dared to hurt my friends"

Ugh.

The “I’ll kill you if you hurt my friends” cliché.

-" It's not true that you've lost everything. It's just that...you've lost the will to live. "

That’s pretty bleak.

-"Thanks to these eyes...I came to understand how cruel and despicable people can be...but that also allowed me appreciate the true beauty. All you have to do is look at things from different perspective."

This is another fucking Pandora Hearts quote give me a break.

-[When someone dis for the other person to die] "Do not use that word that way ... death is painful ..."

That’s also pretty bleak.

Trivia

it can be with a younger appearance as a 10 year old as an adult of 25 years. She is usually seen with its true form but some time has a child's appearance because it gives little gum over way during fights.

If she were an animal would be a cat or a black rabbit.

That’s... irreverent.

She does not like to use their necromancer powers, because they are very dangerous both for people like her.

She does not like to say the word "die" because compared to other people she knows the pain of death, because of their necromancer powers.

How does she know the pain of death if she’s never experienced it?

She’s still alive.

She loves to eat taiyaki.

So does Gran Torino.

And me.

It may not seem much but she likes to read sleeves.

Weird flex, but okay.

Not really sure how you’d read a sleeve.

It is she who fas your obento and also the food at home.

The wording here makes it sound like she stole my bento.

Kiriya have a habit of being late.

She wears armor to suppress their necromancer powers, and also not to haywire.

I assume you mean “go haywire.”

It is not usually talk much because she is afraid that she use her necromancer powers without realizing it, so she usually writes in a notebook or ask your childhood friend (I will create soon)

But my childhood friend already exists.

use its powers read the mind to convey what she is saying.

It does not really show their feelings because if she gets sad or angry may harm people because of their powers.

I still have no fucking idea how this necromancer quirk works.

Kiriya can only hold 10 seconds until less to look us eyes of a man when it comes to girls she can but us guys she can not take much time to look in the eye with a boy, she ends up giving a blow in boy, because she is too embarrassed.

I’ve read this sentence like three times to try and figure out what the hell that means, and all I got was that she gets embarrassed if she looks at a boy for too long.

Also, I lowkey thought that meant if she looked at a boy too long she’d spontaneously give him a blowjob.

Kiriya has a large scar on her back.

...Why was this not included in the appearance section?

And we’re done.

Okay, overall, Kiriya’s backstory has too many unanswered questions, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how this “necromancy” quirk works.

From what I know, a necromancer is a type of sorcerer that can raise the dead. Not... whatever was described to me here.

I literally don’t know what happened. I’m confused. Help.

I’ll see you guys later.

ok so I know you dont like London much but what are your favorite spots in London anyway?

ok it took me a bit to think about it because despite me not liking London as a city I do like a lot it has to offer

if you’re up for some tourist-y food you should check out Herman ze german its a funny restaurant with a v good Currywurst ngl

or taiyaki ice cream in chinatown..the one thats served in fish shaped waffles?! def worth it

or just grab some take away from whatever country you wanted to eat their dishes from idc I gotta admit I usually live of the Pizza bites from COOP

uhm or hit up Borough market for overpriced fancy food…I usually get my spices there, they’re good as a souvenir but they also have the best Tandori marinade imo

the cool thing is you can walk from Borough market straight to Tate Modern my absolute favorite place because you can be lazy and it looks like youre admiring the art for hours (tbh they got amazing art so I thats why I go there haha AND its free!!)plus they got the best free view over London…the only shit thing is you’ll never have a really nice view because there are cranes everywhere its annoying af

So other pretty tourist-typical thing is Harrods but I love it you can either pretend you’re rich af, dress up fancy and you’ll fit right in or you look like trash and annoy the rich either way its fun…plus you can look at the fancy stuff and go like “Money doesnt buy you taste” whenever someone fancy considers buying ugly shit (tbh I’m still surprised they didnt kick us out but it was sm fun) so yeah also you can get little rich people stuff you know like overpriced water or lobster if you want

Other thing I usually do it hit up the Disney store mainly bc we dont have one and its cheaper than buying online (and they have pretty awesome sale from time to time) plus its located on Oxford street so you can shop your heart out there too

and ofc from time to time Camden Market just because its the wildest shit and you’ll always find something

I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting so much but yeah if you have nothing planned for the night try to get rush tickets for 25£ its usually front row and not that hard to win…

#London #about me #Anonymous #if ya into the instagram aesthetic you can also hit up peggy porschen cakes for the pink aesthetic #or el &n

March Magic

Forgive the lateness of this post, but March was a busy month so LET’S TALK ABOUT IT.

So after leaving Ipsy last year (for various reasons), I’ve missed receiving a little package every month full of makeup samples. I was all set to try Birchbox, but they wouldn’t accept a Canadian billing address so that didn’t work out. Instead I opted to give PLAY! By Sephora a chance. I was a member for three months before cancelling last week. My reason for ending it was mainly because I barely got any lipsticks or highlighters or anything FUN. I don’t know if it’s because they know that I’m in my mid-thirties or because they just have an influx of specific products, but a bitch doesn’t need twenty sample size cleansers. Not this bitch, anyway. Also, sending out a foundation sample (no matter the luxuriousness of the brand) makes ZERO sense because finding the right shade makes all the difference in the world for foundations. Also, I barely wear foundation. So I ended it. Also, am I the only one who hates getting tiny perfume samples? I feel like I have so many that I feel bad about throwing out, so I just keep them in the washroom and then use them instead of air-freshener if someone (or myself) stinks up the room (#lizadvice).

I was briefly intrigued by Frank & Oak’s clothing subscription box but decided after an hour of research that it’s probably too expensive for what you’re getting, even if the clothes are gorgeous.

Of course it was upsetting to hear that Luke Perry passed away. He was definitely one of the first men that I loved on television (god, I remember every single detail of that 90210 when his wife Rebecca Gayheart was killed). Such a good actor. So wildly attractive. And man, he was one of the best parts of Riverdale. I hate thinking about that show without him.

I absolutely love spring peas, so I made this Lemon-Basil Orzotto and it was really good.

I tried this charcoal that’s supposed to clean your makeup sponge and it was kind of annoying to use. It just takes too long to get a good lathering, and my foaming hand soap does the job much better and quicker.

I’ve only used it once so far, but I think I’m really into this Bliss Jelly Glow Peel Exfoliator that I got at Target for $10. No irritation at all and my face felt crazy smooth afterward.

I have a mini version of Sunday Riley’s Lactic Acid and it’s kind of really good, too. Only a million dollars more expensive than other good facial products! Sweet! Also, you’d think having “acid” in the name would frighten people away but I guess not. Obviously never going to buy the full size because it’s not magical or anything, but happy to have tried it.

Ate at this Mexican place Pulqueria in Chinatown that was pretty good. The location is pretty cool (very NYC out of a movie) and the inside is gorgeous. The food? Pretty decent! All in all, nothing to write home about but definitely worth remembering if you’re in the neighborhood.

Got some ice cream at Taiyaki and it was the definition of plain-as-a-dick. Nothing special here.

Finally ate at Lilia in Brooklyn! Honestly, it was really great and I can’t wait to go back. I made Nathan get the spicy lamb fettuccine so that I could try it and I got the mafaldini with pink peppercorns. His was fantastic, but mine was only so-so (it was way too al dente) - I think I just ordered badly because everything else we had was incredible. They had this herbed focaccia with ramp butter special that blew our faces off. I’ve never heard of a bread special before and it’s a brilliant idea, more restaurants should do this, people go nuts for fancy bread (myself included). The cauliflower appetizer (with spicy soppressata, sicilian pesto & majoram) was amazing and the dessert soft-serve swirl was wild. I already know what I’m ordering next time: the sheeps milk cheese filled agnolotti with saffron, dried tomato & honey. The service was of course great, and the space itself is gorgeous. No idea it used to be an auto-repair shop. Is the pasta better at L’Artusi? I’ll have to order the agnolotti before I answer that question. One must be well informed before making such declarations.

On my birthday, I took advantage of a free-facial offered from Smith & Brit in the city and it was beyond lovely. Claire (the owner) is such a fantastic woman who really knows what she’s doing and she made it such a wonderful experience.

I also took advantage of the free birthday brow arch they offer at all Benefit locations and whoa. I almost exclusively thread my eyebrows every few months, so I was excited to have them waxed for a change. I have pretty sensitive forehead skin, so I did have tiny bumps around my eyebrows for a few days afterward, but it still was worth it. They do an “eyebrow map” of how your eyebrows would best look and then wax them accordingly. And then they follow that with filling them in with Benefit products. I usually use a combination of Colourpop’s brow pencil and Milani’s waxier eyebrow pencil, but when she used the Benefit eyebrow gel wand, I was floored at how much fuller they looked. Really considering buying the mini and seeing if I can achieve that same look. Look how full!

I tried both 2019 birthday gifts from Sephora and Ulta, and talked about both of them here.

I watched all of Shrill in one evening and I can’t imagine not watching it that way. It’s perfect. I can’t stop playing this song on repeat, WHY IS IT ONLY ONE MINUTE? Other thoughts: I had no idea that the morning-after pill doesn’t work for women over 175 pounds, that’s insane!? The mother/daughter storyline is so well done it hurts. ALL of the outfits on pretty much every single woman are so fucking lovely. I rewatched that one part with the woman in red walking and buying flowers over and over it just made me so happy, I can’t describe why. And the pool party episode? I may have sobbed through some of it, and not in a sad way but in a cathartic way. It just made me feel so many things at once. Mostly about how sometimes you feel invisible if you’re self conscious or self-loathing about your body, and you feel like you don’t matter unless you fit into this idea of what you think people expect you to look like and how if you don’t fit into that, then you’re essentially a worthless piece of garbage, so you treat yourself that way on a daily basis. And how this type of thinking can last you a lifetime because it’s all you’ve allowed yourself to believe for years and years. There are so many ways that a person can feel inadequate or less than, and it’s so internally normalized because you truly believe that you’re not good enough and you never will be. It’s a depressing way to live and so many women especially live this way, myself included obviously. So that whole episode really just felt like a fucking dream of a reality. I really hope there will be more episodes of the series, I’ve never related to a television show more in my life.

I tried the watermelon makeup wipes from Sephora and even though they smell amazing, they don’t take off all of your makeup. Pass. The Avon one is still my all-time favourite.

I tried the cleansing pads from First Aid Beauty and they’re tingly, fun and great. Perfect alternative for when you don’t feel like washing your face. I don’t know if that’s their intent, but that’s how I’m using them.

Nathan’s second album came out on iTunes! Buy it! Love it! Or not! Do you!

I’ve been having trouble sleeping and one thing that has helped? Taking a hot shower before bed. Is this such common knowledge that I’m a moron? Maybe. In any case, very happy to have learned this.

Started and finished watching the final season of Broad City and it was really, really good. I always forget how good this show is. I wish it existed when I was a teenager.

Practically in LUST with Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. I’m so late to this party, but at least I finally got there. I’ve only even tried it on top of some buttered bread and I was floored at how good it is.

Can’t stop rewatching all the old Ready or Not episodes on YouTube. Also, Degrassi Junior High.

You know how sometimes you have irrationally dumb opinions on things you know nothing about? That was me with dry shampoo. I didn’t really understand it. Also, I thought it was exclusively for white women, I don’t know why? Obviously I tried some (this Amika one) and I mean… it’s kind of spectacular. I maybe shouldn’t have discovered it because I might never wash my hair again.

I visited the Everlane store in Soho (because apparently YouTube ads really do work on me) and even though it’s beautifully minimalist, it’s way too overpriced.

Tried the pizza at Lions & Tigers & Squares Detroit Pizza and it was really good. They don’t offer single slices, but it’s the perfect place to go with someone to split one. So in love with Detroit style lately. (Also, can I accept world-wide-credit for the massive amounts of pepperoni pieces you’re seeing on pizzas these days?! I’ve been ordering triple-pepperoni-well-done pizzas for DECADES and I’ve been harshly judged endlessly because of it and LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE NOW! Full credit.)

The penultimate episode of this season of This Is Us was wildly good. There was so much relatable couple stuff, it’s so hard to even get into if you didn’t see the episode/don’t care about the show, but if you did? Email me. I could talk about it for an hour, it was so well done. It’s essentially about the give and take in a relationship and about how it’s rarely equal, and man… so, so well done. Loved every minute.

Remember how I tried and liked Bumble & Bumble’s Thickening Spray? Well, I still do but definitely don’t spray it on your roots, it works much better if you use it sparsely on the rest of your hair when damp. Maybe that’s already obvious but I’m very new to using any hair products, so forgive my stupidity.

SO excited for Jenny Slate’s new book.

I went to Beacon’s Closet for the first time and whoa. I didn’t find anything I loved, but it’s definitely one of those places you should stop in every once in awhile to see what’s there. The space is a little overwhelming, but the things that I’ve seen people get from there are gorgeous and so inexpensive.

I tried to find my colour in the Fenty collection of concealers and nothing matched, but it’s not a huge deal since I’m happy with the NARS one I’ve been using. And speaking of concealers, Colourpop just released their own and they were kind of good?? Again, I still prefer the NARS one, but the Colourpop one is actually kind of good, especially for being $6.

Finally ate at Raclette and I don’t think I’ll be returning. There are basic rules for making a good grilled cheese. I mean, I’m no scientist but you should be able to hold up the sandwich. And that just didn’t happen here. I had to use a knife and fork, which is… sad. Astoria Bier & Cheese understands these rules and still remains the best place to go if you’re in the mood for one.

I accidentally tried smoked salmon for the first time and it was really good, who the hell knew? Apparently everyone but me. I’ve never ordered it because I really only fake-like cooked salmon, so why the hell would I like it uncooked or *shudder* smoked? Also, it looks so gross! I should’ve known better though because it’s almost always true that if something looks gross, it probably tastes amazing. That’s a thing, yeah?

I tried samples (because I own a million fucking samples of every cream on planet earth) of Kiehl’s avocado eye cream and passssssss. It left my under eyes crazy red and zombie-like, so never again.

Bought a new white living room carpet from Carpet Factory Outlet on the Upper East Side and it was so cheap and great, have to keep this place in mind.

Absolutely hate this Tarte mascara, it stays on your lashes for days after you think you’ve washed it off and I don’t know why anyone would want that.

Since I’ll forever love Trader Joe’s, we tried the new broccoli and kale pizza crust and it’s even better than the cauliflower crust that we love. This one also doesn’t burn as easily in the oven as the cauliflower one, so I think this is the new favourite.

There’s a new flavour of banana pudding at Magnolia Bakery: chocolate hazelnut. It was sold out when I tried to get it, but I did get a sample and yikes. Obviously it’s the greatest.

Ate at Al Di La in Brooklyn and it was not fantastic. Their version of “gnocchi” was confusing and 1000% too spinachy. The tagliatelle al ragu (below) was obviously good, but, like, it’s so hard to fuck that up.

Above Photo: Tagliatelle Al Ragu at Al Di La, Brookyn, New York

Found this lovely-as-hell store in Park Slope, Habit. Literally everything felt and looked beautiful. In love with this one specific brand they had.

Went to a Mortified show with Harmeet who was visiting me, and it was good! We only stayed for the first half because honestly my feet hurt and we were standing and I think we both just decided, “Yeah, we get it… we’re good” and then went to Ample Hills Creamery around the corner. Love it when friends decide to leave an event early together for something more fun, not enough people do this.

FINALLY made it to Daily Provisions. Maple cruller? Heavenly. Everything-bagel-flavoured croissant injected with cream cheese? Delightful. Danny Meyer continues to do no wrong. Favourite breakfast place in Union Square.

Still very much in love with this song, and as I was listening to it one day I started reading the comments as I was listening and this one YouTube comment… my god. So sweet. Maybe parts of it are definitely corny or too much or something, but my god, in the moment, I loved it:

“I heard this song when I woke up un-groggy for the first time after an abortion. It was the first time I heard it. And riding in the car beside my Mom, who had been pro-choice her entire life until the moment she was staring that decision right in the face, both of us were silent the entire song. Through every lyric, it was as if Sara had written a eulogy of my life. Everything we had been through, everything I had suffered. Everything I had seen. Every time I had to grow up sooner than I should have. Everything I had to push to the back of my mind so I didn’t lose myself completely. Everything surfaced through these lyrics. This will just be another comment lost among this thread. But if someone happens to read it - if someone who NEEDS to see this comment see’s it - know that things will always be better. TIME HEALS ALL. Even if it seems as though no one would care if you were gone. Even if it seems as though you have no purpose in this world. YOU MATTER. It doesn’t matter how many mistakes you have made. It doesn’t matter how many times you have sworn to God “you’d change” if he just forgave you for this one mistake. Hell. Even if you don’t believe in God. If you don’t know what to believe, if you’re lost, if you don’t know what to do - just keep going. Keep doing. Keep moving in any direction that is away from the heartache and pain that keeps you tied down. Let go of the past. Let go of the fear and hurt your heart endures on a daily basis. Just keep living. Keep going. Forgive. Never forget. Learn from your mistakes. Better yourself. Live for you. Find your happiness. Love unconditionally. Live.” — Shelby Grimm

Went to Momofuku Noodle Bar for the second time and it was so much better than the first time. I also ordered better. The chilled spicy noodles with sichuan sausage, thai basil & cashews (shown below) were incredible and I tried some of the broth of the spicy beef ramen that Harmeet ordered and holy shit, it was good. I’m still too… not into the idea of ramen, but that broth was fucking nuts. ALSO, their dessert special (caramelized white chocolate pie with hazelnut and puffed rice was F-U-C-K-I-N-G memorable (also below). Christ.

A few months ago I got dinner at Pil Pil on the Upper East Side and since it was good, I stopped in there for lunch recently and it’s probably the best lunch I’ve had in that area for sure. There’s a $4 happy hour sangria special and their lamb sliders are incredible. The fries are maybe my favourite restaurant fries in the city, they’re so crispy and drizzled with this spicy aioli and they also have a chocolate-hazelnut dessert cake that is unbelievable. I know it sounds like I love everything everywhere, but I swear I don’t.

There is a place in NYC where you can rent out really nice digital cameras for 24 hours FOR FREE and no one knows about it (the only hiccup is that you need to have state-issued ID). Sony Square is a “public space committed to showcasing innovations in products, music, movies and gaming” - which essentially means that every few weeks they change up their aesthetic to showcase new Sony products, but the camera-rental service is an always-available option. Insanely cool thing to offer.

Found amazingly soft and comfortable leggings (cheap too!) at Aerie (thank you Marla!) that I will exclusively buy from now on. (No more trash Aritzia leggings that disintegrate every three months!) Bought some of their workout pants too that have pockets (!) that were incredibly soft, too.

I saw the movie Us and really liked it. Mostly because yeah, it’s a good movie. But also because IT’S AN ORIGINAL MOVIE. I’m so sick of remakes and superhero movies that I love it when movies like this get made. I know it’s classified as a horror movie, but it’s not really, in my opinion. Plus I love when you finish watching a movie and you want to come home immediately and research as much about it as possible. It’s good, go see it!

Harmeet and I went to Manhatta for lunch (because apparently I have a Danny Meyer obsession) and it exceeded all expectations. First of all, it’s not crazy expensive despite the fact that it’s in the fucking sky (60th floor). We got the mushroom soup, the scotch snails with pork sausage in garlic butter and the French onion burger and everything was amazing. Service was perfect. Views are insane. Perfect place to take someone who’s visiting, especially for lunch. Will definitely go back.

Lastly, I watched the Leaving Neverland documentary on HBO. I also watched all the episodes of Surviving R. Kelly. I watched both of these within a few days and I don’t recommend anyone viewing all of these things in such a short amount of time unless you want to cry endlessly and (irrationally? Or understandably?) loathe an entire gender for a few days. And look, if you know anything about me, you know what a huge fan I am of Michael Jackson. From his music to the connection of meeting Nathan, I’ve forever loved this man in the way that all of his fans love him. For years I would think (and sometimes, ugh, say) “I don’t know that man personally. I don’t want to know about his personal life. I can’t judge him if I don’t know him.” And I’d say these things as a way of deflecting from the fact that I didn’t want those beautiful songs tarnished in my mind, as dumb as that sounds. And in an extremely similar way, I acted the same with R. Kelly. I didn’t WANT to take “When A Woman Loves” off of my iPod for years because I didn’t want to believe someone who could sing so beautifully could be some kind of monster, which makes zero sense but seems like a rational thought to people who still don’t believe these victims. The way that we worship these artists/abusers, without actually knowing anything about them (or sometimes knowing complete details of their abuse), wanting them to continue to achieve success no matter what the cost, is so unhealthy and odd and is part of a larger culture that is already designed to idolize anyone with status or more money than us. I didn’t want to watch Neverland. I knew it’d be bad. I only took down my Woody Allen poster in my childhood bedroom last year (to be fair, I don’t live there, but this should’ve happened years ago). I rarely spoke up in favor of these men, but I did stay silent when they were discussed because that was easier to do and basically what most everyone else was doing and made it feel acceptable, which is awful. I feel horrible that it took this many years for victims to be believed and it makes me sick that I’m apart of the group of people who made it impossible for victims to be heard. As hard as these things were to watch, I think they’re wildly important to see.

This one part from Surviving R. Kelly sums up one of the problems so well.

“Our society tends to compartmentalize the things we don’t want to look at, and magnifies and glorifies the things that we do. For example, if an individual is providing something to the society as music, cinema, politics - we’re more likely to compartmentalize the negative behavior and minimize it, as a way of accepting what they’re contributing.”

Jesus, a lot happened in March. Excited for April! Some upcoming things that you can expect in next month’s post: I’m going to start taking collagen (I’ve heard it helps hair growth), a family trip to Niagara Falls, a Best of Astoria post & thoughts on the new Twilight Zone. Hello, April!

Hihi Cat! I've come to deliver some good news! (This is pretty long huhu ToT)

MY ERB HAS BEEN APPROVED AND I CAN PROCEED TO RECRUIT PARTICIPANTS!! Ahh it's been such a blessing to be able to proceed immediately! I've actually hit my target amount of participants in less than a day (IT'S CRAZY) but I'm gonna collect more responses cuz the more the better! (Would you wanna check the questionnaire out? I can PM you the link!! :3)

Also also I PASSED THAT FINALS! The one I took a day after my vaccination (1st dose) ToT GAHH I'm so happy I won't even ask for more, it's enough :3

I've been writing my thesis during this sem break but it's progressing pretty slowly cuz I've been so drained from last semester and the vaccine itself. Huhu but I've written a brief rundown for my proposal so there's a rough idea there, just needa rly assemble it into a clear narrative. And yes I agree! Psychology studies are a beautiful fusion of science & human essence imo, and its fascinating learning more abt ourselves and how we as the human species progress in life ya know? 😌

I got my second dose exactly a week ago and got the same side effects - headache, arm soreness, hunger, fatigue; I felt like a fusion of psyduck & snorlax HAHAHAHA 😂 - it wasn't anything serious so yay I'm fully vaccinated! (in a few weeks time keke I'll be)

HAHAHAHA my vaccination appointments were pretty eventful. The nurses and volunteers were all so warm and friendly! I'm the type of person who feels whatever's being injected into me, it's not the pain that I wanna distract myself from (it wasn't pain tbh) but that sluggish discomfort I get from the needle ejaculation >//< sooo as they showed me the vile and syringe before injecting me, I prepped my Yangyang photocard in my hand. During my second dose, the nurse thought I had some fancy way of taking a video when in actual fact I was just looking at my Yangyang photocard hehe UwU she asked me whether I wanted to see the needle going in (smtg I can't look at tbh) and I was like HELL NAH ToT

And also some recap from the previous ask!

There's no need to apologise for the delayed response okie!! UwU my sem break is ending this week, but I've spent my time completing my academic research trainee tasks (transcribing audio clips), I've also created the content & design for my uni's newsletter, did some thesis writing, and I took a course on financial planning on Coursera to prep myself for the adulting life ToT

And idm sharing my back up / failed topics! I didn't have a lot of cards in my hands, but here are some of em!

1) time perspective and meaning in life 2) anticipatory nostalgia 3) not a topic but a variable! fragility of happiness / happiness aversion

what ideas did you settle on for yr art pieces? If you dm sharing, I'd love to hear abt it! 💖💖💖

Tbh I can't think of a fav ice cream flavor hmm 🤔 i rly didn't think it'd be so hard thinking of a fav ice cream flavor but the first that comes to mind is green tea! I like them milky flavored ice cream😍 though my fav from this ice cream place I go to is thai milk tea, it's so fragrant and milky!! 🥺💖 I just got myself a tub of milk & biscoff gelato keke UwU what's yr fav ice cream flavor? :3

For my course structure:

We have 2 long sems (Jan - Apr, & Aug - Dec, 16 weeks) & a short sem (May - July, 9 weeks)! Our sem breaks are only around a month then it's back to sleepless nights ToT AND YES those weeks were the most stressful weeks ever 🥺😭 I'm glad I'm graduating soon for that reason 😂(though idk what awaits in the working world ToT that is another fear I have :/)

Thank you for being part of this journey and being open to listening to my lil adventures! 🥺🙆🏻‍♀️💖😭 esp w the amount of responses and ppl helping me, I feel a lil more motivated to work and excel in this pregnancy (thesis, I call it pregnancy cuz it's around 9 months too HEHE) Since the pandemic, it's been pretty hard separating studies & hobbies :/ I've learnt it the hard way from my period cramps last sem (mine's the severe type where you can faint ToT), and it was also on my last paper for finals !! Very traumatizing ._. but I'll continue to manage myself better! :3

Huhu Cat since you're working now, I also wanna ask abt yr experience in job seeking! Cuz unemployment is a real deal here esp. w everything that's going on :') I don't have working experience either (only had 1 through internship) and it literally feels like I'm going into the unknown ToT I've been running over some case studies and assessments just to better prep myself for this. Do you have any advice as someone who's already working? UwU

Take care and stay lovely as always!! 💖💖💖

hi, sweetpea !!!! 🌸 omg major congratulations for getting your ERB approved, honey bee !!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 that’s absolutely amazing, and I’m uber proud of you 🥺💗💗 also, it’s wonderful that you hit the required number of participants so quickly !!!!! (And I would love to participate if the questionnaire is still open 🤧)

AND HECK YEAAA CONGRATS ON PASSING THE FINAL TOO 🤩🤩🤩🤩 big congrats to you all around, miss smarty pants 💓💓💓

Oh gosh, I hope you got to rest during your semester break too ): you’re working so hard, please remember to take care of yourself !! 💕 your mental health is more important 🤍 have you finalized your proposal now? And omg yes exactly !!! It’s so interesting to see the thought process behind an action and how it can be manipulated or influenced by various stimulants or there’s also the argument between nature versus nurture too and how that affects psychology and it’s just all so cool to learn about 🤩

Omg you had so many symptoms, I’m so sorry to hear that 😭 I only had a sore arm, but that’s what happens when I get any shot 🤧 I hope you’re feeling better now 💘💘

I’m really glad to hear that the nurses and volunteers were kind and friendly !! it’s always comforting to have nice people as doctors, especially when you’re trusting them to stick a needle in you bshdjdjdkd omg yangyang to the rescue !!!! 💞💞 we’re not allowed to record record any medical appointments, like I think the nurse thought the person in front of me in line was recording when they were getting their vaccine and said they weren’t allowed to do that 😅 and aaaaa I always have to look when they inject me, I don’t like being taken by surprise 🤧

oh my gosh you were so productive over your semester break !!!! :o and oooo you do content & design for your school’s newsletter? Do you do stuff like graphic designing and write articles? 💓 and how was the financial planning course !! Did you learn a lot? Did you like the studies? :’)

aaaaa those topics sound so cool ??? 🤩🤩 I would definitely be down to read about those omg 💛

for my 3D design class, I decided to do lightbulbs and flowers as my overarching theme for my art pieces !! I included a couple pictures below under the cut at the bottom 💓 the first one is a soft sculpture made out of newspaper, and there’s a pencil next to it for size reference, the second one is made of wires that I shaped myself, and the third one is made of foam boards that I cut and assembled myself as well 💕 and I included a picture of my final painting project! it’s a triptych and I believe the size was like 18 x 24 for each one? If you click on the picture, it should be better quality!

omg I love green tea ice cream too !!!!! 🍵🍦 I like going to somi somi for their matcha and milk swirl ice cream with red bean taiyaki 💚 I only had thai milk tea ice cream once, but it was phenomenal 🤩 I wish they sold it near me too !! milk and biscoff :o I’ve never tried that flavor! I’ll have to see if it’s sold around here :’) green tea is my favorite, but I also really like everything but the... from Ben and Jerry’s !! 💛 also alcoholic ice cream.... like there’s this one kind where it was a breakfast esque type with vanilla, corn flakes, and bourbon, and it was delicious 😋

omg what 😭😭 you’re basically going to school year round with no break bahsjdjdjdkd when I was in uni, i had a month off for winter break (usually something like dec 9 - jan 9) and then mid june to mid September off, so around three months of summer vacation? Your school schedule sounds absolutely brutal 💀💀

and omg of course !!! Thank you for letting me be a part of the journey 🥺💗 bdjdjddj pregnancy omg that’s such an interesting way of seeing it :o sending you all my love and support for a successful delivery of your thesis baby 🥰🥰 oh yeah, it’s definitely been a struggle to separate everything, especially when the lines between home and workspace blur with online school or working from home. And oh my god ???? Are you okay ?? Did you go see a doctor or take any medication? I hope you’re feeling better now !! Please take care of yourself 😭

ah, I got my job through my internship, so I’m not sure how helpful I will be 😅 but during the process of interviewing for internships, there were several rounds for each company that range from a group interview, a one on one interview, video interview where they give you random questions that you have to answer on the spot (some of mine were discuss the stock market, give a sales pitch on something you’re interested in, etc), a test, etc. I think it’s different depending on the job you’re going for, but that’s what I had to do in the business field! It’s important to study and prep for all of this!! It’s like taking an verbal exam for one of your classes. And also make sure to study the company’s website and familiarize yourself with what they do/sell.

My one piece of overall advice would be about interviews! Interviews are important in which the person interviewing you is seeing if you’ll be a good fit with the company, not in terms of skill, but personality. They already know you’re qualified and have good skills - that’s how you got the interview. With the interview, they’re essentially trying to see how personable you are and if you will work well with their team. Some people are so intent on proving their skills that they kinda just rattle off all their achievements and whatnot, and it’s like... the interviewer already knows this, it’s all on the resume they reviewed when they decided to give the interview offer. Be friendly, open, maybe make a little small talk at the beginning (“hey, how are you? any weekend plans / how was your weekend?” This is what I did for all my business interviews, and I got an offer back from every one 🤧💗), make appropriate jokes / be a little funny, just show that you’d be a fun person to have in the office whom people will want on their team, but that you will also be dedicated to the job and work hard 💘

And thank you so much, honey bee!!! 💞 I hope you’re doing well and having a good week , and please take care as well 🌷🌷

Pure Chap 13

Chapter 13

Weak

“I said, eat the apple!”

Scorpio shoves the bright red fruit into my face as Ichthys snorts trying to hold back his laughter.

“Scorpio, I’m not—”

“You are so hungry. Was that not your stomach I heard just now?” Even though I’ve been getting better, I still haven’t had much of an appetite; I’ve been eating things like bread and soup a lot lately. I thought I was doing fine, but…

“You should feel grateful, Eden,” Leon says from his position sitting in the chair across from us, a small smirk on his face.

“Apples are the scorpion’s favorite food, and he’s willing to share it with you.”

“Shut it, lion!”

After snapping at Leon, Scorpio turns back to me.

“Take it. Now.”

“Alright, alright, jeez,” Rolling my eyes playfully, I take the apple from Scorpio, who finally relaxes and sits back against the couch. I bite into it. “Mm!”

I haven’t tasted an apple this fresh and juicy in my entire life! Maybe it’s because I’m hungry, but I scarf it down within minutes, leaving just the core of it. When I glance over at Scorpio, he seems pleased.

“Do you want something else, Eden?” Ichthys asks me, his eyes bright. “I know! Let’s all have her try our favorite foods!”

“Can’t do mine,” Huedhaut says from the bookshelf across the room. “My favorite Earth subsistence is wine and Eden is seventeen.” I make a face.

“That’s really all? Wine?”

“Hue’s an alcoholic,” From my other side, Teo elbows me playfully.

“I am not.” Huedhaut says.

“Let’s see,” Ichthys says. “I like taiyaki, Dui likes cherries, Teo likes anything with milk…Scorpio likes apples, Leon likes meatballs—”

“Meatballs?” I repeat, turning my gaze to Leon, who glowers at me.

“You have a problem with that?” He asks. I swear I can see pink dying his cheeks.

“No, not at all.” I reply with a smile.

“Karno likes spicy food, Krioff likes ice-cream…and Aigo likes marshmallows, right, Teo?”

“Yeah.”

“‘Kay. I have no idea what Partheno and Lou like, though.”

Ichthys snaps his fingers, and all the food the gods like appears on the coffee table in front of us; cherry pie, apple crisp, meatball subs, spicy chicken fingers, and s’mores, a cheese plate, strawberry shortcake with marshmallows on top, yogurt, and so much more.

I smile a bit.

“You don’t expect me to eat all of this, right?” I ask.

“What you don’t eat, we will,” Teo says as he reaches a hand out to grab a bowl of some sort of pudding.

“What’s that?” I ask him.

“It’s milk pudding. It’s really good, try it.” He hands me the bowl and grabs another for himself.

The rest of the gods swarm around the table, save for Tauxolouve, Partheno, and…him, who are all in the Heavens. There’s only two couches and one chair, so Karno, Hue and Krioff all sit on the floor, and before long, the room is filled with cheerful voices and the sound of clattering dishes.

“Hey! You didn’t ask for the last piece!” Scorpio snaps at Ichthys, who sticks his tongue out at him.

“Relax, scorpion, we can always make more,” Leon rolls his eyes and snaps his fingers, making more apple crisp appear. Before Ichthys can even think about it, Scorpio snatches it up from its spot on the table and sets it in his lap.

“Hey, I wanted to try some!” Karno whines with an adorable pout on his face.

“Too bad.”

“Here, Karno, you can have my piece,” I say, handing down the small plate to the god sitting in front of me.

“Really? Are you sure?”

“Yep! I’ve had it before, so I can go without.” He smiles brightly at me.

“Thanks, Eden.”

“AHH-HA-HA! Hot, hot, hot!” Ichthys sticks his tongue out and grabs a glass of milk, downing it in one gulp while Scorpio smirks.

“That’s what you get for taking my apple crisp.”

“What even happened…?” Aigonorous asks, lifting his head from the armrest of the couch and blinking his eyes sleepily.

“Ikky ate some spicy chicken fingers thinking they were regular ones,” Teorus says with a laugh. “He can’t stand spicy food.”

“If’s so goo thoo,” Karno says through a mouthful of apple crisp.

“Maybe to you!” Ichthys whines as he frantically fans his scorched tongue.

“Here,” Krioff takes a spoonful of ice-cream and flicks it at Ichthys, aiming for his tongue, but hitting him in the eye. I can’t help but laugh aloud.

“Ack! What the hell, dude?” Ichthys cries as Dui hurries to help him clear his eye off.

“Sorry,” Krioff says while trying to hold back a laugh. “I wasn’t aiming for your eye.”

“Looks like you need to work on your aim, Krioff,” Karno says as he reaches across the table for some spicy chicken.

“I’m gonna get you for this!”

“Come at me, bro.”

Taking his words seriously, Ichthys snatches up the chicken Karno was reaching for and beams it at Krioff; it hits his face with a dull slap. “Ah! Gross!” Krioff hurriedly scrubs at his face with his jacket and throws a glare at Ichthys, who smiles mischievously.

“Come on, I wanted that…” Karno moans. Poor guy just can’t seem to catch a break.

“Alright. You wanna act tough? Let’s go!”

Krioff reaches across the table and grabs a plate holding a piece of cherry pie and smashes it against Ichthys’ chest, smearing red all over it.

“Hey!” Dui cries. “You crossed a line, there, ram!”

Dui grabs a bowl of milk pudding and slaps it over Krioff’s head, causing the light, whipped food to go running all through his hair and down his face. Of course, Teorus jumps in.

It’s not long until a full-out food fight has been started.

Meatballs and bits of pie go flying around the room. We even pulled Leon in after someone accidentally splattered cherry all over him. A chicken wing slaps Aigonorous, who just blinks sleepily before leaning his head back down onto the arm of the couch and drifting back off again. Someone flings chocolate ice-cream across the table, nailing Scorpio in the face, and he rockets over top of it, tackling Ichthys and grabbing some taiyaki to smear on his face. All I’m really doing is sitting where I’ve been and laughing, occasionally getting hit with flyby food.

When I glance to my left, I see that Leon and Karno have turned on each other, throwing any random food stuffs they grab at each other with smiles on their faces, and when I look to my right, Dui, Teo, Hue, and Krioff are all wrestling around on the floor, covering the carpet with messy food as they move.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

A new voice interrupts our food fight, and all eyes turn to the doors to see Tauxolouve and Partheno standing there, staring at us with eyes so wide they take up most of their faces.

“You guys…” Partheno whispers, but then trails off and looks at Tauxolouve. They bust out laughing.

“Shut up and join the fight!” Krioff shouts, and, as if waiting for that cue, Ichthys launches the full strawberry shortcake at Partheno and Dui beams the full s’mores plate at Tauxolouve.

“Ack!”

“Ew!” Both gods shake as much as they can off themselves before turning their gazes to us. Then they both smile.

“Oh, it is ON!” Partheno yells before diving into the fray, followed by Tauxolouve.

This fight won’t end soon.

A few days pass. As I’m studying for my last major test in bio before finals in May, Scorpio comes into the room looking more somber than usual. “What’s wrong, Scorpio?” Ichthys asks, taking a break from fiddling around with my math book.

“Ah…” He seems to stumble on his words and looks at me in a silent apology. I frown.

“Scorpio, it’s alright,” I tell him. “What is it?”

“Well…Zyglavis is coming to the mansion tomorrow.”

I stare silently at him.

“Eden,” Ichthys murmurs. “Do you want to go out tomorrow? Maybe—”

“No, no, it’s fine,” I interrupt. “I mean, it’s not like he’s my ex or anything. It won’t be a problem.” Scorpio looks at me doubtfully, but nods anyway and turns to Ichthys.

“He’s coming for a status report from all of us. All gods are to be gathered in here at four in the afternoon tomorrow.”

“Got it.”

With another silent nod, Scorpio turns and exits the room, leaving me with Ichthys.

“You know, Eden, you really don’t have to stay here. You could hang out at Lorraine and David’s until the meeting’s over.” I shake my head.

“I can’t do that. What if the dark king attacks? I don’t want to put Lorraine and David in danger.”

“Ah. Good point…”

I look back down at my bio, but decide I don’t want to study anymore.

I watch the clock anxiously. I don’t know why I’m doing it, but I just can’t seem to tear myself away from the ever-ticking hands. Three-fifty-four. Has time ever moved so slowly? The gods slowly file into the parlor.

“Do you wanna stay in here, Eden?” Partheno asks me as he sits down beside me. “I mean, I know that you and Zyglavis are at a kind of…awkward stage.” I snort a bit. We aren’t at any stage. I haven’t seen Zyglavis in over a month, and even though it feels like forever to me, I doubt he thinks anything of it.

“I’m fine.” I whisper, not trusting my voice.

Three-fifty-nine.

The only gods missing are Leon and…Zyglavis.

Through the closed doors leading to the back hallway, I can hear voices. One I recognize as Leon’s, and the other…the deep, smooth voice, one I know so well, one that actually causes pain in my chest to hear it…is Zyglavis’.

My heart leaps in my chest as nervous butterflies shoot AK-47s in my belly. I close my eyes and try to consciously regulate my breathing, but I only succeed in making my anxiety worse. With an inward groan, I slump back against the couch. Ichthys gently pats my leg.

Four o’clock.

The doors open, and Leon walks in. He says something to everyone, but I seem to have blocked all noise out. I don’t look up. It’s hard for me to look at Zyglavis as he follows Leon silently into the room, and I discover that it hurts to even be in the same building as him.

“The dark king has been spotted all over the area,” Karno tells Zyglavis, who listens silently. “He’s doing something… unsettling. It’s like he’s figured out how to block us out for the most part. We have no idea what he’s doing, other than the fact that he keeps showing up wherever…she goes.”

“There’s going to be a fight soon, that’s for sure.” Scorpio adds grimly.

Beside me, Ichthys nudges me and whispers, “Eden, you’re going to break your skin,” I glance at him, then look down at my hands. I see that I’m digging the nails of my right hand into my left, and stop, yanking them away from each other. I didn’t even feel pain, but my skin is red and irritated now.

I sigh, and stand up, intending on going into a different part of the mansion so I don’t have to be in Zyglavis’ presence. I can sense his eyes on me as I move to leave, but I only stare at the floor, keeping my lips pressed tightly together.

However, when I reach the door leading to the entranceway of the mansion, the hair on the back of my neck stands up, and my footsteps slow. “What is that?” Ichthys hisses, sounding as uncomfortable as I feel. I look around frantically, trying to find the source of what’s making all of us uneasy, and then, I notice a shadow on the floor, a shadow of a man.

Only there’s nothing there to cast that shadow.

The shadow slithers across the floor like a snake and slowly rises to form an actual man only a few inches from me. I gasp, my eyes widening, and I stagger back.

This is the same man from my nightmares, the same being that’s after my life. The dark king.

In a millisecond, Dui and Ichthys are with me, standing protectively in front of me, tensed and ready for a fight, Leon also comes to stand beside me, one of his hands wrapped around my wrist, and the other gods pull themselves to their feet, ready to jump in front of me or at the dark king. Zyglavis slowly approaches, his face a terrifying snarl and his hands balled into tight fists.

The dark king looks around at the gods, smiling insolently, and then his bright, menacing red eyes land on me, and that smile widens.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Zyglavis growls, the sound almost coming from his chest rather than his throat. The dark king glances at him before looking back to me.

“I just came to see her,” He says, his voice sickeningly saccharine. “I have a little message for you.” He tells me.

“She doesn’t need to hear it,” Leon says, his tone strong and powerful. However, the dark king doesn’t falter. He just turns more smug.

“Oh, I think she does,” My heart is pounding hard against my ribcage, goosebumps forming all along my skin. Anxiety swirls about in the pit of my stomach, and my knees are wobbly. It’s all I can do to stay standing. Leon’s other hand comes to the small of my back to keep me upright. “You really ought to have kept better tabs on your little family.”

My eyebrows twitch as a stab of dread shoots all through my body. “What…?” I croak. And then the evil being says, happily, the words that I was praying not to hear.

“I have your precious aunt and uncle.”

My knees buckle, and I begin falling to the floor. Leon quickly catches me and holds me steady. The room is spinning. It feels like I’m going to throw up. Lorraine…David…

Suddenly Zyglavis is in front of the dark king, grabbing at something solid under the mist and slamming him up against a wall. “They have nothing to do with this!” His yelling voice vibrates against the walls, against my bones, and sends a chill down my spine. The dark king just smiles jovially, like a little boy.

“Sure, they do,” He easily pushes Zyglavis away, a malicious aura forcing him further away. “Think wisely, little human. Your beloved family, or you? Do you want to lose another set of parents? Make the right decision.”

That’s why…He wants me to sacrifice myself in place of my aunt and uncle. And he knows I’ll do it, because I could never stand to lose another set of parents.

“You will never have her!” Zyglavis snaps. He looks closer to a rabid wolf than a god now.

“We will keep her and her family safe.” Leon agrees. Even his voice is irate. The dark king just smiles.

“We shall see.”

And then he’s gone.

After he leaves, I break.

The floodgates open and I sob hysterically, my head pounding and my stomach turning. Leon picks me up and sets me on one of the couches, Ichthys and Dui sitting on either side of me. Zyglavis stands beside the coffee table Leon is sitting on, his hands clenched so tightly they’re shaking.

My stomach twists, and, thinking quickly, Dui grabs a wastepaper basket and shoves it in front of me right as I vomit. It’s more dry-heaving than anything, seeing as I haven’t eaten much of anything lately.

“Lorraine…David…” I gasp. “Because of me…they’re…!”

“Shh,” Dui hushes me gently, rubbing my back. “We won’t let anything happen to them,” I shake my head, bumping the sides of the tin basket I’m still leaning over.

“That’s not the point! They should never have had to be involved in this! This all my fault!” More broken sobs escape my throat, and I gag again.

Dui continues rubbing my back, and Ichthys pulls my hair back for me even though nothing is coming out. A few minutes of silence save for my sobbing fills the parlor, and after I decide I won’t throw up anymore, I pull away from the basket. Dui sets it aside.

As if waiting for me, Leon leans forward and clenches the tops of my arms. “Look at me,” Even though he’s speaking unusually strictly, demanding I obey, I can’t. I keep my head down. “Look at me!”

I swallow tightly, and force myself to obey.

When I see his eyes, I’m taken aback. They’re smoldering, determined, and his face is rigid with resolve. “Who do you think we are? Do you think we’d let anything happen to any of you, your family, you, the rest of the humans?” He asks me. My tears keep falling, but I’m able to keep my sobs at bay.

“None of this is your fault. It’s the dark king’s. It’s evil’s. You are perfectly innocent.”

I stare silently at Leon, my lips trembling.

“Leon,” Zyglavis speaks up after a moment of silence.

“We need to form a plan of attack. The longer Lorraine and David are in the underworld the worse off they’ll be. Dui, Ichthys, go to the Heavens and alert the king of the situation. And Eden,” I blink, and turn my tear-filled gaze to look at him.

“Come with me.”

He moves smoothly, like water, and scoops me up into his arms, turning to leave the room as Leon goes to the reflecting pool room, Dui and Ichthys heading for the door to the Heavens.

When we reach Zyglavis’ room, he sets me down on his bed and kneels in front of me, grabbing my face so I can’t look away. “We will be heading to the under realm for your aunt and uncle. Two gods will hang back here to keep you safe in case this is a trap. I will not let anything happen to you or your family. Do you understand?”

“But what if you get hurt?” I ask, my voice fragile. “I could never live with myself if any of you get hurt because of me. Especially you. Zyglavis…you can’t go.”

I know what I’m saying is irrational. This is Zyglavis’ job, his whole purpose in being with me, even if he’s stopped actually being with me. He’s supposed to keep everyone, not just me, safe. But I don’t want him to leave me ever again. I can barely stand to not have him beside me while he’s alive, so what would happen if he died? And to add insult to injury, if he died because of me…

“Eden. Do you think I’d let someone like him take me down?” He asks me, smiling softly. But that smile doesn’t reach his eyes. I shake my head violently.

“I don’t want you to leave!” I cry, nearly screaming. “Please don’t go!”

“Eden…”

“If you lose your life because of me…if you die…I could never stand it. I love you too much!”

A part of me realizes that I just told Zyglavis I love him, but I can’t help it. My feelings are pouring out in a desperate attempt to keep him here.

“You can’t leave me, not again! You can’t walk away from me into the fire like that. I don’t care if you never see me again, just as long as I know you’re alive…I don’t care! But please don’t go! Please!”

“Eden.”

In the next instant, Zyglavis’ mouth is on mine.

I gasp, both in surprise and because I’m sobbing again. His arms go around me, holding me tightly to him. It’s hard to breathe, but I don’t care. His lips move over mine, kissing me gently, but desperately. He’s worried. It’s so easy to tell. This kiss isn’t the first kiss of two people who care about each other and want to show it, it’s the last kiss of two people who care about each other and know that they won’t see each other again. It feels like a hole is being punched through my chest.

As a fresh wave of tears slide from my eyes, I throw my arms around Zyglavis’ neck, wrapping them as tightly as I can, trying to force him to stay here, to make this moment last longer. However, after a moment, he forces me away, keeping his hands on my shoulders to keep me from lunging back to him.

“I have to go,” He whispers, clearly distraught.

“No…”

“Eden, I will never let anyone hurt you. Remember that.”

“Zyglavis!”

He straightens up and hurries for the door, closing it and locking it from the outside before I can run to try and stop him. Fruitlessly, I yank and bang on the doors. “Zyglavis, don’t go!” I scream. Through the door, I can hear his fading footsteps.

“Zyglavis!”

I slide down to the floor, my shoulders shaking violently as I howl in pain. This isn’t fair. None of this is fair. It feels like I’m a curse, like everyone I care about will always be in danger because of me. First my parents, now Lorraine, David, all of the gods, and the man I love, Zyglavis. And I’m so powerless to stop it.

The hole in my chest rips wider as I cry.

Tauxolouve and Aigonorous came to the room after a bit and asked if I wanted to come sit in the parlor, but I just silently shook my head. That was fifteen minutes ago.

I’m just sitting in front of the doors in Zyglavis’ room, curled into a ball and holding my sides tightly. It feels like if I don’t I’ll rip in two, and it’s easier to breathe that way. The other two gods stand outside Zyglavis’ room, guarding me, but they weren’t too happy when I told them I wanted to be alone in here. Worry has a solid grip on me, distorting my vision and pressing my brains in. Worry for Lorraine and David. Worry for Dui, Ichthys, Leon, Karno, Huedhaut, Teorus, Krioff and Partheno.

And worry for Zyglavis.

It’s killing me. It hasn’t been so long since the gods left the mansion, but it feels like an eternity. I want so badly to hold Lorraine and David, to lay in between them in their bed like I did when I was little, just to see their faces again, to know they’re safe. My eyes are squeezed tightly shut, my fingers curled into my palms so tightly I can feel them breaking the skin. But the only pain I feel is on the inside.

I hate how weak, how…human I am. I want to be strong enough to protect those I love, especially when I’m the one who put them in danger to begin with. To keep from screaming in frustration and pain, I rock back and forth.

Suddenly the air in the room electrifies, and I slowly lift my head, my eyes blurred from the tears and being pressed into my knees. In the center of the room, there’s a small, strange sort of rift, barely four feet long and only two inches wide. Shades of purple, blue, red, and orange swirl about inside it. I frown.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know what it is, but I can’t put my finger on it. It doesn’t feel threatening; rather, it I get the feeling that that will lead me to where I so desperately want to go, even if I know it’ll end in my own death. My throat dry and my head pounding, I pull myself to my feet and slowly make my way over to the rift.

I reach forward and hesitantly stick my fingers into the small opening; it immediately expands to fit my precise figure. I have no idea what this thing is or what it does, but that feeling grows stronger. I’m willing to bet this thing will take me to the underworld, like a portal of sorts.

I swallow tightly and take a deep breath, hesitantly reaching my foot into the swirling colors of the rift.

It immediately sucks me in.

After being sucked into the rift, it spit me out a few feet from the ground in a dark, dank, and decrepit new environment.

The air is heavy and stagnant. It’s all I can do to breathe. Tauxolouve and Aigonorous don’t know that a portal opened up in Zyglavis’ room, so they don’t know I’m gone. Mentally apologizing to everyone, especially Zyglavis, I force myself to my feet and go forward even when it feels like the air is being sucked from my lungs.

This world is hot, humid, and in ruins. The sky is a sick purple color, pieces of old structures scattered to and fro. Pressure squeezes my body, making it feel like someone is pressing me down. I think gravity is somehow heavier here.

As I slowly make my way around this decrepit world, I notice a huge, imposing castle that’s mostly standing, its big metal doors slightly ajar. That must be the dark king’s palace. Wheezing, my vision blurring, I stumble as quickly as possible over to the doors. If what the dark king said is true, if he really does have Lorraine and David, then I will do anything to keep them safe. If he doesn’t…well I haven’t thought that far ahead yet.

My shoes make scratching noises as I shuffle along the filthy floor. As I trudge forward, I think about my life. I had always thought that when I die, it’d be because of something stupid. Falling off a cliff, accidentally setting the kitchen on fire, something like that. I never thought that I’d go marching into my own death of my own volition. But if it’s for my family and friends, I’d do anything. I’ll never let anyone hurt those I love. Ever.

“Ugh…” I moan. It’s so hard to breathe.

“Edie…?” A small voice echoes throughout the large, empty room, and my eyes turn up to see Lorraine and David, tied up and staring at me with wide eyes.

“Guys!”

I force myself to run over to them.

Once I reach them, I stagger and collapse. It feels like someone has an iron tight grip on my lungs, like my ribcage is being torn open. I cough violently as I try to catch my breath.

“Edie!” Lorraine cries.

“Baby, why are you here?” David demands, looking as angry as he can through his obvious exhaustion.

“I-I had to…to come,” I wheeze as I hold a hand to my rattling chest. “If I didn’t…he’d kill you! I won’t…let anyone…hurt you…Not you…” As I utter those words, I erupt into another violent coughing fit.

“Eden, you can’t be here!” Lorraine exclaims. “Go home! Don’t worry about us!”

“Edie, we couldn’t live with ourselves if something happened to you,” David adds. When I look at him, I can see that they’re both on the verge of crying.

“David…Lorraine…” I gasp. “You two…raised me. Since I was four. If giving my life…will save you…then I’ll do it. I’ll do anything… if it means keeping you safe.”

Suddenly there’s a maniacal cackle behind me, and before I can turn around to see who it is, I’m knocked to the side, landing in a pile of thick dust.

“Edie!”

“Silence.”

Right as I’m pulling myself up, I hear the snapping of fingers, and my eyes dart over to Lorraine and David, who are both slumped over with their eyes closed.

“Guys! What did you do to them?” When I look up at the owner of the voice, the man who was just at the mansion, smiling at me as if I’m an old friend he hasn’t seen in a long time.

The dark king.

Cutie Reviews: Tokyo Treat Dec 18

Ironically, I just filled out a survey the other day about this box. Changes will probably be coming to it, but not for a handful of boxes yet considering how far behind I am. If the box does change, I just help I like it~

Meanwhile I still haven’t gotten my delivery. As of tomorrow it’ll have been two weeks since it sent.

“Everyone’s favorite time of year is finally here! The holidays have begun and cheer is flowing throughout the air. It is time to be generous to those around you, give and receive gifts, and to enjoy a good time with those dear to you. With that in mind, we curated a fun holiday Santa’s Snacks box so that you can share a relaxing time snacking on fun holiday themed Japanese snacks with friends and family. We hope you enjoy all the many snacks inspired by Japanese holiday culture and that this month’s snack box warms your heart during this holiday season. Who will you be sharing your snacks this month with? Whomever it is, we hope you have a great holiday!“

So because of pictures, I didn’t include the Lucky Treat or prize pics. The Lucky Treat is entirely Crayon Shin-chan dedicated (I’m not a big fan of that series so I don’t really mind not getting this one...) while the prizes are Vocaloid based. Those I’d have loved to get.

The book also features an article on Christmas traditions in Japan (like ordering KFC), and one on onsen.

Fanta Mango Jelly Drink & DIY

As usual I’ll be covering the DIY in a new topic- only because I do have a handful of pictures and a few choice words...

Okay, so our first item is a jellied, mango Fanta drink. It might be a little strange to have in December, but right now when it’s June it couldn’t be better timing!

Each can is 68kcal, which I think is pretty nice because with it being full of jelly it’s bound to fill you up a bit more than a normal drink would, and if you happen to be weight conscious or don’t want a big meal it could be a good addition to the meal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I feel like if you like mango you’ll love this, but there’s a small chance if you don’t like mango you might still like it. Whatever you do do not smell it >3< maybe it’s just me, but as much as I like mango it always stinks. It’ll taste good but the smell is very unpleasant.

Texture is another thing to take into mind because this drink has it. If you don’t like gelatinous things this might not be something you would consider trying. I love jelly textures though :P

Salty Green Pea Mini Chips & Vegetable Potato Sticks

Next up are two semi-healthy vegetable themed savory snacks! The share pack item are the bags of potato sticks by Calbee, Each bag is only 44kcal and packed with 9 vegetables! You can even see bits of them in each stick.

These I’m pretty sure I’ve had before, but I don’t really remember so i will be rating them just to make sure.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The flavor is light but it’s there, it doesn’t really taste like one specific vegetable though. It kind of reminds me of a very light, non-breath threatening sour cream and onion. They have a medium-crisp.

Our next item are these mini chips by Bourbon, in salted pea flavor. Every 37 grams (which might be the entire bag) is 1 serving, for a total of 207kcal.

It’s hard to tell in the pic, but they kind of have a faint green coloring.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I didn’t really like these when I first tried them, I didn’t taste anything but some salt. However, the more of them you eat the more the flavor comes through, but oddly they don’t really taste like peas to me (I hate peas so it’s not a big deal), they make me think more of pistachio.

Apple Chocobi & Bourbon Strawberry Chocolate Chips

Okay, you can probably tell by now that Bourbon is kinda featured a lot in the box. Not a big deal though cause they got a lot of variety :3

Our first item in this pic is the Apple-flavored Chocobi. I admit I’m not a huge fan of these, usually because they go stale before I can finish them and they’re too sweet in my opinion. But I do like to try new flavors, and I love apples so I decided to remain open minded about this one.

These are made from apples all the way in Nagano Japan, and this set includes some cute, Crayon Shin-chan stickers in various locations in Japan.The one I got is Kagoshima.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I was very surprised by how tasty these are~ They are sweet but not cloyingly, and they actually taste like real apples, but they kind of remind me of cereal too.

For now, I think these might be my favorite (or at least liked) chocobi :3

Our next item I was very excited to try! I love strawberry chocolate, and chocolate-covered chips are usually-always delicious~

Each pack is 199kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

They pretty much taste like their name “chips covered in strawberry chocolate“, with a hint of salt. It makes me think of eating McDonalds fries with strawberry milk or ice cream actually, but they are delicious!

The flavor might be a bit odd, but I really think it’s good. I want to keep eating them~

Kumamon White Sesame Cracker

Our next item is a dense white sesame cracker, I think it also has a very light glaze and broken up pieces of nut in it. It kind of looks like something you would give a bird doesn’t it?

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I thought it was kind of yummy, I love sesame seeds. But I also feel like I taste a bit of peanut, which I hate. I also didn’t like how dry it left my mouth after eating it. It’s also a little bitter, and sweet.

I feel like this is an “acquired“ item, because I gave a piece of it to my mom and she dislikes sesame seeds. Now, I’ve given her mochi with sesame seeds and she doesn’t seem to hate them, but this she didn’t like at all.

See, it’s unique things like this I wish they gave us more often. Maybe more rice-based products?

Melon Bread Cookies & Burnt Caramel Taiyaki

Next up we have two sweet items, first up being a small cookie based on Melon Pan (bread that resembles a melon. Only some of them actually taste like melon though).

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

I’d say the melon-flavoring is a medium-high in rating, and I think the cookie might be shortbread. I thought it was nice for a bite sized cookie.

The larger item on the side is inspired by a Taiyaki (fish-shaped pancake-like treats filled with cream, jam, or chocolate). This is a popular snack item by meito and is flavored burnt caramel, these specific taiyaki are made from wafer with air popped chocolate inside~!

This specific flavor is 87kcal, and they have a handful of different flavors. As of now, I’ve tried two or three (soon to be four hint hint) of these, they’re so good.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The black color might look a bit scary at first (or not, I like black so I thought it was kind of fun), but oddly to me it actually smells and tastes a lot like brown sugar and pancakes, I love caramel but I thought this tasted amazing!

I would highly recommend trying this, or any of the others if you can find them!

Bubbly Cola Ramune Candy & Tomato & Cherry Gummies

Okay so... one of these items I was extremely dreading to try. Wanna guess which one?

Our first item here is the cola candy inspired by a real pop. If the picture doesn’t imply anything, this is very foamy. I noticed when sucking on it, the foaming is very slow, and the candy has a teensy bit of sourness. But when you bite into it, it will foam a huge amount! It filled my entire mouth!

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

As I say all the time, I love cola (I’m even drinking coke as I write this) so I really like getting to try the unique cola-flavored Japanese candies. I think these were really fun, and each pack actually has 3 of them in it so these would be a fun candy to share with friends or to give someone if you wanted to play a cute little prank on them ;p

The next item meanwhile... I was terrified of it. It’s our Kinosei (health snack) is a bag of these tomato and cherry gummies. They contain a blend of natural collagen and lycopene to increase ones natural beauty. They also lower blood pressure, refresh the skin, and help ones heart. It’s also naturally refreshing.

Each bag is 94kcal. They are squishy-soft and jelly-like on the inside. They smell strongly of ketchup and sweetness.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

I kid you not, each time I smell these I cringe. I HATE tomatoes, but ironically I really like ketchup. Because of this, I was honestly afraid of this, the only reason I tried it was because I figured “it can’t be any worse than that Takoyaki ramune right?“

They’re actually not bad though; I was shook! I can’t really explain the flavor though, it’s like a cross between cherries and the acidicness of ketchup. Does that make sense? They’re have a neutral sweetness to them, and they actually are kind of refreshing.

A few years ago I saw tomato jelly (basically a jelly tomato) on cold noodles during the summer and thought “what a strange concept“, but now I feel like I understand it a little more...

Bourbon Sylveine Chocolate Cake

To go with the holiday box, of course they had to include a holiday staple- that being a delicious cake! Everyone has a cake on Christmas in Japan, along with the KFC or home-cooked meal. Like a few other items this cake is by the brand Bourbon.

Each cake (or box, I’m not sure) is 102kcal. There are six cakes in total, so you could essentially use this as a dessert for a meal if you wanted :3 The cake is a soft, creamy yellow with thin sections of cream between the layers, and it is covered in chocolate and topped with something. I’m not sure what it is, but it reminds me of a raisin in taste and feel.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

These are delicious- they’re a lot like little snack cakes you can buy at the grocery store, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if these are the Japanese version of them.

The cakes are very soft and squishable, but not soft enough that they can’t be eaten in your hands if you really wanted or had to. But the chocolate is super-melty and a little bit bitter in taste.

I don’t get to have fancy cakes as much as I would like to (nor can I make them just yet...), I couldn’t help but feel fancy eating these cuties~

Oh, and I did share them with my family, don’t worry.

Takoyaki Umaibo & Christmas Pizza Poteko

I was pleasantly delighted by the variety of savory items we got, and surprised too. Our last time items are also savory :D including an Umaibo I’m not going to review because I’ve already had it.

I will say that I think it’s delicious though- way better than the horrible takoyaki Ramune drink. It doesn’t taste fishy, but I honestly can’t think of how to describe the flavor either. It’s covered in seasoning, and it seems to have a very thin, saucy layer or glaze, matching the sauce Takoyaki is usually covered in.

The last item, which I will review because it’s new is an item we get all the time, Poteko rings. You’ve seen these several times on here, but again, when we have a new flavor I’m more likely to be open-minded, and I was kind of curious because we hardly get pizza-inspired snacks.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

They strongly smell like cheese, but I actually didn’t taste pizza at all. To me (my mom agreed but my dad took some time to agree as well), it tastes like a McDonalds cheeseburger!

Like an exact cheeseburger from McDonalds. Bun, burger, cheese, ketchup, pickle and all. It’s very delicious, but it kind of made me wonder if they make burger flavored snacks...

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 5 out of 5. I loved everything! There was also a nice change in that we had a LOT of savory items, and I thought they did well in terms of item variety. There was a bit of each thing.

Theme - 1.5 out of 5. Sadly I thought they did decently with this before, but this year was really lacking. I could feel the spirit on Christmas with the box, but if I didn’t know it was a Christmas box and didn’t get the one item with a Christmas wrapper I wouldn’t have been able to tell it was Christmas themed.

Total Rank: 9 out of 10. An awesome box, one of the best to have gotten I thought. All they had to do was focus more on the Christmas theme they were going for and I think it could have been a perfect 10.

♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥

1. Burnt Caramel Taiyaki - Like I said, I’m not sure it tasted like caramel. But I really liked it! If I see it online I’ll definitely be buying it, I just hope the next one I get tastes as good, if not better~

2. Chocolate Cake - I’m glad we got six of these because they are very delicious~ My dad and I loved them, but my mom was less receptive since it reminded her of dark chocolate.

3. Strawberry chocolate chips - I like em, what more can i say :D

4. Takoyaki Umaibo - I may not be able to describe the flavor well but this one is a winner!

5. Mango Jelly Drink - I really liked this, but as I already warned- try not to smell mango items. They will either smell delicious, or like feet.

6. Cola Candy - I love cola, I love pop, I think fizzy candy is fun to try; I was a little surprised they were kind of sour though.

7. Apple Chocobi - Again, I was surprised by how much I actually liked these. Only because I’ve never been into Chocobi that much. They don’t taste bad, but I gotta remember to eat these before they go south (stale).

8. Pizza Poteko - I’m still convinced they taste like cheeseburgers, but they are good :P

9. Tomato & Cherry Gummies - I was really surprised by these!

10. Melon Bread Cookie - It was okay. I like melon, but for some reason I’m not too into melon-flavored baked goods. I love melon candy and drinks.

11. Potato Sticks - They don’t have a huge amount of taste but I still like them enough. I like the texture too.

12. Peas Mini Chips - They weren’t bad, I just like other items more.

13. Sesame Cracker - I really did like it, but I wasn’t too crazy about the desert left in my mouth after eating it...
