so i went to the don brothers event yesterday
想說一點咚見面會
まあぁ きのう、ドンブラーダースのイベント行きました。おさしぶりですね もうキュウレンイベント一度行きましたことももう忘れてた やっばいいものだな、戦隊が。
どういうわけで、そこはいろいろな人がいっぱいあるし、女の子は少ないね そう思ってないけど、びっくりでもないです 寂しいでもない、また気弱いですから
Donbrothers started airing in my city yesterday and there was a kick-off event at the mall. It's been three years since we've had a sentai event. I missed RPPT and didn't care for Re/vice earlier this year, so it's been 4 years for me after meeting the Kyu/ranger 5 in person.
Just in time during my king/ohger fever, I was really excited for this. It's nothing big, just meeting some suit actors in an immersive toy commercial. I hadn't really prepared much for it since I don't intend on spending money for a photo ticket, but I'm still slightly excited because it's not just a simple walk around the toy store.
The event is in 3 parts. The MC introduces each member, they teach kids to henshin and do the OP dance. Then everyone gets to shake hands with them. After that is the photo session. The venue was small but it was so cool to see the DB suits in person. They actually made Kiji/brother the tallest if just by a little or costume magic. Inu/brother would sit on the floor to accomodate (and with how small the stage was, you could only fit 3 adults on there). Oni/sister was bubbly and waved at the crowd all the time. Saru was tasked with holding Tarou back who just randomly shoot the crowd all too much.
All the SA were in-character but it's still a bit unreal to hear my language coming out of their mouth the PA system. Sentai switched TV channels after... 27 years. So all the VAs sound foreign :( But it was very fun just watching them interact with the audience. I'm so happy they have a handshake session. I've never been to something like it, and only saw repos of the G-rosso ones. Of couse I don't expect the same level of character but it's still feel very nice to indulge in that 5 seconds of shaking everyone's hand before I stall the line. (The woman in front of me was full stan mode and film herself vertical with a plush (?) interacting with the actors to the MC's sideeye that she also stall the line and gave me second-hand embarrassment)
The atmosphere's pretty nice! With Donbrothers's popularity and this day being a landmark first, just as expected you get more adults than kids in the crowd. Quite an amount of those 30+yo men are fanpage mods/youtubers/photographers I'm sure. So say I didn't rehearse a lot about the event, but when I saw there are just a handful of women I'm like, ...やはり...
that's not to say the place was completely devoid of women. but of couse i didn't strike up conversations with anyone regardless of gender being how timid i am. good thing i didn't ACTUALLY wear a moffun shirt and just a lavender hoodie with butterfly earrings (spofw, 真夏にGokkan-boundingは大変だな) or i'll be even MORE uncomfortable on top of how hot it was.
so, there were two girls in front of me, who is your anime otaku look with colored hair, who speaks the other language, who mostly certainly belongs to that sect of the fandom that i'm constantly apalled by their incestuous preference and needless drama from superficial, narrow readings. Yes, I'm fully biased, but it's not like I'm that desperate to make friends, especially if i had to use a sentai that's not quite my 'only one' as a conversation starter. (however, KO could still have this problem, unless i start building another SNS presence, where do i get the energy)
I didn't exactly set out to make friends but I thought that would be an inevitability if I'm going to the summer con as Rita, and in preparation for SWC. And it's not like, I ONLY want to make friends of the same gender - the thing is, the local forum i'm interacting on is mostly men, and they are a bit better than the SW ones in terms of they do discuss the plot every week in details, but sometimes you read the most NSFW things on there that's just really uncomfortable. (Luckily there's a single person (whom i think also watch SW) posting Sentai among the Rider replies and I just post my wall of text to boost Senai discussion and disappear until next week) But like, if you look for women who are into toku, a large group of them are from up there and... it's like they have this whole different set of rules and traps that stems from pop star/idol fandom and their shipping rules and, guys, i'm into toku for the more old-fashioned stuff.
idk, i guess i just want to meet someone irl who watch toku with some media literacy and less fetish? Even some good old-fashioned 'boys will be boys' moment i'm happy to comply. That's why for local fans, I wanted to meet people IRL because certainly they won't say those fetish thoughts aloud... it could've been as easy as 'oh, so you like [sentai] too?' and i could go on from there... idk i guess i'll push that until the last minute when the plan goes live
welp maybe i should rewatch gagaga
all that said, i did talk to somebody if it's infodumping in a way. Two members of the staff were guessing which animal each ranger represents so I joined in. It was nice to be encouraged on the niche interest my family frowns upon every sunday morning.
Speaking of, I hadn't actually completed a thing for the Rita cosplay yet. I'm still scratching my head on the heat problem... Regardless, It's about time to snoop around and see anyone is going as KO with 1 month left until the con. It'd be a shame not to have a complete team :( Honestly I'm not afraid that I'll be the ONLY Rita (if I even finish it), but I'm scared about opening a group call... since I'm a novice... I don't even know on which day the veteran Suit cosplayers would show up...

Twisted, Act 3
*Day 25*
Haechan😘🙄☺️: gd morning babe hdyf need me 2 go 2 target
Lawan: Babe I got big news
Haechan😘🙄☺️: ?
Lawan: I have to buy new bedsheets CUZ MY PERIOD CAME LAST NIGHT my sheets are ruined I spent the last 20 min scrubbing my mattress
Haechan😘🙄☺️: alot of tmi babe but does this mean i can take u out for shots wanna smoke a celebratory blunt
Lawan: 🙄 its not even 9AM yet babe
Haechan😘🙄☺️: where r u getting bedsheets
Lawan: you were saying something about Target?
Haechan😘🙄☺️: want me to come get u we can go to 119
ill help u finish cleaning
ill make u lunch
Lawan: see u in 20?
Haechan😘🙄☺️: 15
Lawan: 😘
Lawan watched Haechan in the driver’s seat of her car, his blue hoodie covering his messy brown hair. He looked at home singing along to the music as he adjusted the volume to the sound system. His confidence in parallel parking made her grateful that he offered to drive them as they were out running errands.
She needed a bit of a break. She’d woken up early to find herself looking like she was in a horror movie, her pajama shorts and blue bedsheets were ruined with large red period stains. Currently, her room stunk of all purpose cleaner and antibacterial spray. She had been nearly done with cleaning her mattress when Haechan had texted her.
“So you’re not pregnant but your bedsheets are ruined,” Haechan said, turning the car off.
“I’d rather have a crappy morning cleaning my mattress than have a baby in like, 8 months or something.”
They shuddered together before exiting the car. 119 was a tea shop that opened early on the weekends. Haechan enjoyed going to 119 for the free upgrades. A couple of his NCT frat brothers worked there, and that morning Mark was working. It was easy to talk him into giving them discounts.
“Are you going to get a milk tea or fruit slush?” he asked her as they stood in line. She rested her hands over his arms wrapped around her waist from behind. “Coffee milk tea or strawberry milk slush?”
“So you’ve been keeping track of my orders?” she said, trying to keep her eyes open as Haechan kissed her cheek.
“We spend so much time together babe, I just know what you like,” he said, resting his head against hers. “What will I order?”
“Coffee milk tea or white grape slush,” she replied. His hold on her tightened for a second.
“I think you like me more.” His voice had made her nipples hard, which caused her cheeks to grow hot.
“Haechan?” a familiar voice said from behind. Loosening his hold, Haechan turned his head over. Lawan followed, and felt her whole face turn hot. Renjun, another NCT frat brother, was arm in arm with his girlfriend, Alexandria. “Hey, Lawan.”
“I knew it,” Alexandria said with a wide grin, shaking Renjun’s arm. “Renjun, didn’t I tell you last night that I thought they were, like, hooking up?”
“You were gossiping about us?” Haechan asked. Lawan wanted him to release her. It was hitting her that she and Haechan were legitimately dating. As in, their friends would know that they’d been doing more than just watching movies in each other’s rooms. He held her firmly against him as her nerves made her feel like her knees would give way. “But yeah, I guess you can say it’s official.”
“How did you two go from bickering about homework to...this?” Alexandria asked. Her eyes were shining bright as the corners of her eyes crinkled up and her mouth widened into a big smile.
“We’ve been getting along better,” Haechan replied, giving a shrug.
“Why? Because you were hookups first?” Renjun asked. He broke out into an innocent smile as Haechan let go of Lawan, his eyes narrowing.
“Hey! What’s up, guys?” their cashier, Mark, greeted them, relieving the tension in the air. “Yo, dude, my manager stepped out for the day. Johnny came in here and piled on the free shit. You want a cookie with your order?”
“We’ll just get our drinks,” Renjun said stoically, but began stuffing a few individually wrapped cookies into his leather bag.
“Don’t mind Renjun,” Alexandria said to Lawan, resting her body against the counter. “I’m happy to see you two together, but I do want to know how this all happened.”
“Haechan bought me a pineapple daiquiri,” Lawan replied before trying to rub her tongue up against the roof of her mouth. It felt like rubbing a sponge up against a brick wall, her mouth parched. “He’s helped me a lot lately.”
Haechan handed her a sugar cookie decorated to look like a pineapple with royal icing, distracting her and Alexandria. Despite Alexandria smiling at the gesture, Lawan didn’t know how to feel. She wanted to find the gesture sweet, but she worried that Haechan was only doing so to look good in front of their friends. The idea sounded absurd, but she couldn’t stop herself from worrying that Haechan was only putting on a show.
“Um, dude, I think that’s overdoing it,” Mark said, reaching over to stop Renjun from grabbing all the treats placed on display.
“So you like Johnny more than you like us?” Haechan asked.
“What if I told you I could double the boba in your drinks?” Mark replied.
“Not Dria’s, please,” Renjun said. Haechan seized the opportunity to tease Renjun for being so caring about his girlfriend’s drinks preferences.
As Haechan and Renjun heckled Mark, Lawan thought about what she and Haechan would say to their friends about how they became a couple. They hadn’t exactly lied, but Renjun’s joke had Lawan sweating for a second, thinking that he knew their whole history.
She was able to feign a smile and banter with their friends about why they were up so early. Renjun and Alexandria were trying to beat the large crowds at a new art museum that was featuring a collection of works done by Frank Stella in the 1970s through to the 1980s. By the way Haechan nodded passively to Renjun’s excited ramble, Lawan felt relieved to know that she wasn’t the only one who didn’t know who Frank Stella was.
Alexandria invited them to join, and take advantage of their student discounts. The first weekend of the month meant the tickets were discounted by another 5% on top of the 10% student discount. After thanking Mark for the free upgrades and cookies, Haechan and Lawan declined to join. She spent the rest of her day with Haechan, but she still struggled to let go of her worries.
*Day 30*
The lunch rush had been busy and frantic, but she’d gotten a lot of large tips. There was a tech fair near the university campus, so the out-of-town visitors gave generous tips. Since she’d worked 3 days in a row, Lawan had her entire weekend off. It didn’t mean much since she was stacked with homework.
“Lawan, can you check the front locks before leaving?” Ruby asked from the back office in the kitchen. They were the last people in the restaurant, the pair to clean up and set up for the dinner shift.
“All right,” she called out as she put the strap to her purse over her shoulder. Ruby and Lawan had done the lunch rush so often, they’d come to clean up in less than 30 minutes with their routine. “See you later, Ruby!”
“Bye.”
Her eyes were shut as she sighed when she exited the kitchen to check the front door’s lock. She was going down her list of errands before heading home. HMart for rice and produce, bank to withdraw money she owed her roommates, and then home for dinner and homework. She needed to take some aspirin for her headache and sore feet.
When she opened her eyes, the last thing she wanted to see was staring her in the face. She stopped in her steps as she stood beside the back end of the restaurant’s bar. Seated at the second to last chair nearest to her was Haechan, two pineapple daiquiris in front of him. Her face turned hot as his gaze was steady, his expression did not change as he turned his body toward her direction.
“Are you trying to ghost me?” Haechan asked.
She pressed her lips together and looked down at the daiquiris. Of course, Ruby wouldn’t warn her about Haechan paying her a visit. They hadn’t talked about Haechan when Lawan said she didn’t want to, but the fact that Ruby brought up Haechan at all was telling enough that Ruby liked Haechan and Lawan dating.
Seeing him in the flesh made the guilt she’d tried ignoring come rushing forth, making her whole face hot. Pulling out the metal chair before her, she sat down beside him, and set her purse down onto the bar counter. After the day she got her period, Lawan had gotten cold feet and ignored Haechan’s texts, telling herself her schoolwork was more important.
“I need time to think,” she replied, her eyes fixed on the daiquiri sitting closest to her. The maraschino cherry was slowly sinking into the deflating whipped cream.
“You could have texted me that,” he replied, his tone remaining level. “I would have understood.”
“Right, because you’re the perfect boyfriend,” she said with a scoff. Guilt clouded her vision immediately and she shut her eyes before looking up into Haechan’s face.
“I don’t have to chase you, Lawan,” he replied, his expression unmoved. “If you don’t want to date me, that’s fine. Just don’t be an asshole about rejecting me.”
“Haechan,” she said, feeling her throat tighten. She blinked away the tears that threatened to come. “I’m sorry. I like you, I’m just...feeling insecure. You deserve better.”
“What’s up?” he asked, turning his body toward her, touching his knee to hers. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“That morning we ran into Alexandria and Renjun, I just,” she paused as she looked away. She felt ashamed to think about the judgment her mom received for being a young mother. The world felt more modern than old patriarchal standards of her grandparents’ age (hell, even her mom’s), but the threat of potentially being knocked up while in college scared the shit out of Lawan. “I don’t want people to think you and I were stupid that day we hooked up. It all came from such a cynical place.”
“You think our relationship is cynical?” he asked, his eyebrows raised. He grabbed one of the daiquiris and took a drink from the red straw.
“You really wanted to date me after we hooked up?” she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. “Like, you really think we would have begun dating had the condom not broken?”
“I don’t know,” he said with a shrug. “Life didn’t work out that way. Maybe I was feeling horny and you were too, and that was supposed to be it between us, but like, come on. I know my concerns for you weren’t cynical, especially last week. Is that how you see our relationship? You only dated me because you don’t want people to judge you for being a horny idiot? Condoms break all the time.”
“Haechan,” she said with a laugh, furrowing her eyebrows as she sat up straight. She looked around despite knowing that they were alone. Reaching out to touch his wrist, she apologized as she saw him frown, his jaws tightening. “I like you. I like you so much. Every night I’ve been going to bed, crying, thinking about you, knowing I can’t just stop talking to you. I haven’t been fair to you, I’m sorry. It’s not you that is the problem, it’s me remembering how tough it was to grow up seeing my mom struggle a lot. All that hard work she put into raising me, and I could have been in a similar situation.”
“I would never walk out on you,” Haechan said, leaning closer to her.
“It’s not about you,” she replied. “It’s about me. It’s about how scared I was. I just...I needed time to sort through my feelings. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I didn’t want to worry you.”
“So you shut me out?”
“I’m sorry,” she said, standing up. He had a point. It was a shitty move not to consider his feelings. “I really am. I’ll need to communicate with you more. I want you to be my boyfriend, Haechan. I want to be your girlfriend. Will you forgive me?”
He sighed and shut his eyes. A few tears rolled down his cheeks and it was her turn to sigh. Whenever he scrunched his eyes shut and opened his mouth into a wide grimace she knew they were crocodile tears. Instead of calling him out, she kissed his tears away and combed her fingers through his hair. She planted two kisses onto each of his beauty marks, one near his eye and the other on his cheek.
“I’m so sorry, babe,” she said softly, pulling him into a hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
His arms wrapped around her waist and he lifted his head to plant a kiss onto her neck.
“Let’s go home,” he said, standing up with her. He draped his arm over her shoulder.
As they began on their walk to the NCT frat house, Lawan pressed herself closer to Haechan. His body was warm, and his hold was comforting.
“Are you always this forgiving?” she asked. She’d expected him to do a little more guilt tripping. Perhaps go on a scripted monologue about how she iced him out with her cold heart.
“No,” he replied, looking down at her for a second, “but I did make a promise to you at Costco, do you remember?”
“You did?”
“If I was your boyfriend,” he said plainly, “I’d never let you go.” They were just a few steps away from the driveway to the frat house.
“Don’t finish that,” she said. They’d stopped walking. Despite herself, a smile was growing on her lips, hurting her cheeks. “You’re my boyfriend. You don’t need to-”
“Keep you on my arm, girl-”
“Stop. I don’t like this Bieber song.”
“You'd never be alone.”
“Donghyuck, I mean it.”
“And I can be a gentleman, anything you want.”
“Haechan.”
“If I was your boyfr-”
She shut him up by grabbing his face and kissing him.

The Boyfriend Tag [Calum Hood Edition]
Summary: an unfiltered interview featuring Calum Hood and his girlfriend.
Words: 4.7k
Tumblr media
“Hello! I’m Calum Hood, from 5 seconds of summer” He greets to the camera. 
“My name is (Y/n) and I am dating this guy. Today! we are going to be answering this tag thing” I answer in a more excited tone, as I point at the camera. 
“The whole band has done it, it’s only fair I do it as well” He mentions  “We’re currently at home, where we all should be” He says, looking at the surroundings of our sweet home “...so we have more than enough time to get to this”
I smile “And here it is” 
                                                       _______
How did we first meet?
“Through friends” Calum explains shortly “it was nothing super special, sadly, she just happened to be friends with one of my friends and that’s how it happened” he shrugged. 
There was really not much to tell, Our story simply happened in a very natural way. 
“My friend invited me to LA and I met him in...If I’m not mistaken it was at a brunch party?” I explain. 
“You’d be right” he nods  “then a series of things happened and she ended up joining our team”
I smile to the camera “In case you didn’t know. I’m a music editor, I like producing and tweaking, so you could say we would see each other a lot” I shrug. 
“And things happened, went on a couple of dates, did my magic…” he added, moved his fingers in front of the camera in a funky way and finished with a “...and here we are”. 
Where was our first date?
“We went to a concert” I exclaimed, growing really excited at the memory “it was crazy, we literally started with a bang” 
“Yep and it wasn’t planned at all” he laughs, rubbing his jaw with his hand as he spoke “I originally had the plan to go with Ashton to this Chainsmokers show, we wanted to take advantage of that to talk with Drew and Alex after, but Ashton got really sick and since I had the ticket and couldn’t just let it go to waste, I asked this beauty to go with me” he said, reaching over to squish my cheek. 
I move away as an instinct, but I love it. 
“It was awesome, those guys really put up a good show” I add, smiling as I spoke “I got really drunk that night” 
Fun fact. I don’t know what came over to me the night of our first date, but for some reason, alcohol played a big part that night, it was embarrassing, but it was worth it. After all, we made a great memory out of it. 
“Tell me about it” Calum said, rolling his eyes. 
I blushed, but before he could say anything else, I swang over to him and covered his mouth “Shhh” I giggle, scotting over to his side “He kind of babysat me, sorry babe” I said, uncovering his mouth. 
“Kind of?” he asked with a sarcastic tone “Geez, I can’t even answer to that. Next question, I don’t want to tell this story” he said, shaking his head. 
I roll my eyes “Drama queen” I shrug “I got drunk and he had to take care of the rest, it was both fun and weird”. 
“Next” he states, passing on to the next question. 
What was your first impression of me?
I have to take a moment to answer this question, not because I don’t know what I like, but because I struggle remembering what exactly was that caught my attention. It only took me a few seconds to answer. 
“My first impression of you was that you were really quite but still very present in the room” I speak first “it’s hard to explain, because we literally met in the middle of a conversation but basically” I try to explain, shifting a little in my place  “I remember standing in one place and hearing stories from other people, I was completely not familiar with anything, I didn’t know any of them so everything they said was pretty much new, but you always had a fun insert to add, even though you barely spoken that was something that stood out for me a lot” I say, nodding towards him. 
“Mine was more or less the same, actually” he says, acting surprised about my answer “because you’re always very quiet when being on a crowd and that stuff, you always stand back from having too much attention” he explain. “it’s funny because, the first day I met you I remember, I greeted you and all, we didn’t really talked to each other and I didn’t hear you talk either, however, when our food delivery came in the first thing I heard you say was ‘yo, I bet you can’t sniff of this paprika’” he says, a smile growing on his face, until full giggles starting coming out of his lips. 
“Did you really had to say that on camera?” I sigh, acting annoyed, but I really wasn’t. 
“It was hilarious” he says, still laughing. 
I know this is a fact that kind of embarrass me, but watching laugh it off was completely priceless. 
When did you meet my family?
“I met your family on the day you launched your third album” I start answering the question, as soon as he finishes reading.  “it was such a big moment and you flew everyone in, it was the first time I ever got to interact with your mother and -well- everyone, as your girlfriend and not just a friend” I explain “also it was the first time I stayed over at your place for more than two nights”
“It was a extended pijama party” he mention, nodding at the camera with a serious look “no, uh, there’s a reason behind all that. When it came to this situations, I very much preferred for her to stay at mines while my family was in there than to have her alone at her apartment, so I took the chance” He shrugged, reaching over to pat my tight. “It was fun!” 
“It was very fun” I nod agreeing “I love how your mom takes the lead in the kitchen and no matter what you say, she is the one in charge” I laugh, remembering all those discussion for who was the first cooking dinner at the house.
“Mom doesn’t love my cooking” Calum admits with a sigh. 
I nod “I don’t know why, if I’m honest”  I add“She makes some exceptional fish and chips though, it’s just...” 
I have to close my eyes to add some drama into all these. I loved food, and that was definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I knew Cal’s mom loved to cook, and it was an honour for me to try her meals, they were heaven on earth.
“Yeah I know” he chuckles “How did I meet yours?” he asks to himself and sighs  “I didn’t”
My jaw tenses a little, I don’t know how I didn’t see this coming but I didn’t care at all. 
“I’m an orphan, don’t cry for me, I’m fine, I don’t need to talk about it” I state, moving over to his side and hugging him “you are my family”
He smiles softly at me. “Yes I am, baby” he says kissing my forehead. “Next” 
Who said “I love you” first?
“Eh...I did” I admit, with a shy smile on my face “guilty” I add, raising my hand. 
“She did” he seconds, pointing at him. “it was adorable”
That phrase made me cringe for some reason. Not that I denied it wasn’t adorable, it was just some awkward moment that I came out of me and I still feel unsure of. I am not often the one who speaks up, so doing this was pretty ballsy. 
“Was it?” I ask, unsure “It was too soon, I dont know...”
“It was alright, really” he says, shaking his head and going over to rub on my arm a little “we were having one of our famous, drink and watch, where we watch movies and every time something specific happens, we drink a shot” he starts telling the story, also making the fun add on of our usual date nights. 
“And I was like, woooh woooh” I say, trying to imitate that very moment. I lean over him, and leaning my head too close to his, I press my head on his cheek and whisper “I loaf you, Cayum” making it coming out as a loud muffled sound. 
“God dammit” he giggles moving away just a little “I mean, it did sound like that, but it was cute and I said it back” he says, rounding his arm around my shoulders and pulling me closer.
“At first I felt weird because I thought I shouldn’t have said it right there at that moment, but if I’m honest” I add “I was fine” 
“We were fine” he continues, leaning in to kiss my temple “more than fine”
What dressing do I always wear?
I look at him up and down.  It’s kind of funny, because with this whole situation, we both happen to be in our pajamas, so our dressing code has been turned around for the moment. My vision of what he could be wearing on the daily has been distorted. 
“Pfff” I sigh “I don’t know, I really don’t” I confess. “You are very weird with fashion, I must say, I don’t think you often wear the same thing” I say, looking over at him. 
“I sure do, I can think of a couple things” He says, smiling at me with a teasing smile, silently encouraging me to think. 
“Well, you do wear hoodies often, at home mostly” I say, being the first thing I can think of
“Like this one, actually, it’s like your morning hoodie” I giggle, reaching over to tug on the hood. 
He was wearing that very soft white hoodie he would reach over to every morning, if there was a little bit of a breeze out there. She loved it, it was a nice piece of clothing to hug him in. 
“There you go, see?” He chuckles, shaking his head  “Mine is easy because every day of your life you wear socks that reach your ankles and beyond” He smiles, looking down at my feet and staring at my socks. 
“Ding ding ding!” I celebrate, smiling at him “You are so right!” I laugh.
He nods, he knows he was right. 
“Show the public, please” he suggests, giving me the honours.
“I have pineapples today” I say, lifting my foot as much as I can and holding it up to the camera. “Yesterday I had dogs and I have all kind of patterns, I love collecting socks” I smile, looking down at the pretty pattern and admiring it. 
“It’s a fun thing to collect, I like it a lot actually” He admits, staring at it too “Do you have your 5SOS socks already?” he asks, as I lower my leg to its previous position. 
I roll my eyes “Oh, shut it” I groan, he breaks to laugh and he knows why.  “you didn’t let me design socks for your merch, now I don’t want anything” I say, scooting away from him
“Right” he laughs, shaking his head and laughing “Next question”. 
Weird habit of each other?
“I know one of yours” he says before I can even answer. He turns to me, looking at me with a mysterious smile. “I’m going to leave it at your choice, should I tell or should I not?” 
I look at him with the same look he gives to me, trying to see in him what he had in mind. I might have some weird habits, I was just hoping he wouldn’t pull out the worst. 
“Shoot”  I say, glaring at him. 
“Everything you do, you find a way to relate it to a meme” he says, looking straight at me and laughing as he speaks “I don’t even know how you do it, you just do” 
“Oh man! that’s not that bad, but I wasn’t expecting that at all” I laugh as well, finding it kind of funny that we went in with this one “I don’t think you have a bad habit, but, if I must say one, I would say your silence” I say slowly, not really sure if that even count. “you are one quite soul, Cal” I add, bumping our shoulders together 
“Am I?” He says, raising an eyebrow up as he spoke. 
I nod  “It’s like, sometimes  I ask you something and you just do this” I explain, resting my head over my chin and looking straight at him, saying nothing but still saying much. “I’m not a mind reader, pal” I mumble, still looking at him. 
He leans over and touches my forehead with his, looking at me straight in the eyes and mumbling.  “You should know what it means” 
I roll my eyes. “Uh huh” 
He would never admit his silence was weird, but that’s okay, it was something of him that I really liked.
How long have we been together?
“Almost two years” Calum says, his voice sounding sort of surprised as he spoke. 
“It doesn’t feel like two years, how scary” I add, leaning my head on his shoulder “I feel like time really flies lately, these past two years between working with you, having all these changes and moving to this city, I felt like it’s only been a couple months” I mention, reflecting about all of the little things that have led us to this moment. 
“That happens when you’re having fun baby” 
I smile, bumping my shoulder to his “It’s been the best two years, I hope you know that” 
What was our first road trip?
“Here’s the thing” he says, taking the lead “We often do small road trips to little parts of the city, so I would dare to say our first road trip together was... Mexico?” he says, looking at me in doubt. 
“I think so, I’m not sure” I say, thinking about it as well. “but I think our most special trip was not even a road trip, it was a full on trip, remember?”
He frowns a little, turning to look at me looking for more clues. I didn’t gave more information away, if he knows, he knows. 
“Which one?” He asks, still thinking about it.
“The first trip we did together, we were around 8 months, I would say” I say, still maintaining the mystery, until I decided to drop it.  “We went to Australia, made a stop for three days and then New Zealand” I explain. 
“Oh that’s right! yeah, you are right” he nods energetically at my answer. “We went visiting my family and exploring, it was a whole deal” he explain, now with a smile on his face. 
“I think that even counts as a road trip, we used your uncle’s jeep, visited some awesome places” I say, smiling as well “I loved it, I always wanted to go to Auckland and having the chance of exploring the city was the best thing ever” 
He nods, agreeing with me. That particular trip was the first trip we ever did together as a couple and it was worth every second. 
“I had fun too, it was a very special time” He agrees. “Fun fact, a song came out of that trip, and you would never guess which one, but if you do, let me know and I might tell a story” He states, pointing at the camera, and looking at it with a completely serious look. 
“Please do, guess” I chuckle at that statement “That story is going to fuck me up”
First thing you noticed about me?
“Now this is a question I like a lot” Calum states, sitting up straight and getting excited about his answer “Here’s the thing, the first time I met you was on this brunch thing and it was... a private event” he starts “it was interesting because in this event they had like a whole dancing thing, musicians, a DJ... the thing is, there was a particular moment of the event where they were playing jazz and the way she lost it while listening to that... that was priceless” he noticed, smiling at me “the way you lose yourself with music it’s something I won’t ever get tired of” he said in honest words. 
That statement made my heart warm up. Those were one of the most adorable things he had ever said to me. 
“Thank you” I said, with a hand on my chest. “The first thing I noticed about you is how good you are with words” I said, as part of my answer “I think some people, especially guys, sometimes come out as assholes when they want to cause a good impression, but surprisingly, he was the first guy who when he first came up to me, I felt comfortable” I shrug, looking at the camera and smiling softly. 
There was really not much to say, I felt like my answer said a lot. 
Calum smiled softly at me and reached my place, and while he caught me in his arms he mumbled “Come here”. 
And then we fall onto the floor, as we washes me in kisses. 
Tell us a fun fact about you
We both stare blankly at different points as we think of an answer. It should be easier than this, but for some reason, it is being more difficult than we thought to come up with a good answer to fill in this question. We could say so many things, but none of them would be the most appropriate one for this. 
“Fun fact” I start, after our moment of silence “the first time we kissed, very first time, I was really drunk, but I would say, it wasn’t that noticeable or at least that’s what I thought”
I see Calum notices what I am saying right away, because once I start my story, his face goes from a frown to a surprised expression very quickly. Suddenly everything taking a bit of sense for him. 
“I know where you’re going” he says, shaking his head. 
“He asked me how it felt, like the kiss, how I felt about it” I continue  “and I said ‘Ew’” 
I wish I could help it, but everytime I tell a story like this, I can’t help but breaking to laugh, without having enough control over myself. I almost have to lay back, because I am laughing so much I can hardly sit still, but I don’t do that, I just hold on to my boyfriend and do my thing. I was such a fun story, the embarrassing part of it worn off completely by how funny it was. 
“That was the most discouraging moment of my life” He explains, joining as well into my little laughing fit and shaking his head.
“I know, I’m sorry” I said, cleaning a small tear off my eye “I didn’t mean it! I was drunk, plus, I think I say ew and ouch out of its context more times that I could count” I mention.
“Now, that is very true” he says, laughing as well as he turns his look back at the camera and mumbles “Next question”
Tell us a secret 
“No” Calum says. 
So we move on to the next question. 
What am I good at?
“She’s excellent at cooking the best things in the worst times” Calum explains as soon as he’s given the chance “and what I mean by this is that, most of the time when there’s a storm or, just like a month ago, we were confined and she would do deserts like everyday, It was so good I would forget for a second about what was surrounding me” He admitted, looking at me for a second before going back at the camera. 
“I’m glad you like it”  I smile, suddenly feeling very excited. “I do instagram lives every time I cook, It’s a lot of fun” I add.
He nods “You see me in the back, like, ‘what’s that white spongy thing?’” he mentions, making a weird voice just for laughs. 
I giggle. “What’s that white dust on the table?”  I follow, completely being aware of the double-sense. 
“Is that mint? Or cilantro?” He adds. 
“Oh geez” I laugh, at that last one. “People roast me in the comments all the time, because I make stuff like, burritos, or maybe chicken teriyaki, and then you come over and can’t eat anything” I roll my eyes, shaking my head at the camera. 
He presses his lips together at my mention and nods. 
“I don’t eat meat” he mentions, shrugging “but I don’t mind at all, I don’t care if you eat meat”
I nod “I always prepare like one ratio and leave some for if you wanna try, but…” I shrug “I wouldn’t tease you into it”
“I know babe” He says, going to reach my cheek and pinch it. 
 I move away from his touch as I say “I’m not even going to answer this so… next!” 
Favorite feature about each other?
“His face is the stretchiest ever” I say with excitement in my voice. 
Without a doubt, I get up and walk right behind him, because I just need to do something. It's a necessity, this is something I do on the daily, showing the public was something I wanted to do so badly. 
“Look at this” I said, placing my hands on his cheeks and squishing them…stretching… squishing… stretching… squishing… I had so much fun. 
“I have so much fun doing this, it’s like playdough in my hands” I say, caressing my boyfriends face. 
“Okay, alright” he laughs, taking my hands away from his face. “My favourite thing is this” he says, still holding onto my hands and suddenly tugging on them hard. 
Before I even noticed, he was grabbing both of my arms together, and with great skill, he pulled my whole body over his shoulders, and as he got up from his seat and walked back. 
“What?!” I yelled loudly “Put me down!” 
He does as I said, and as he walked to the back of the room, he let me down right beside him. 
“She’s so tiny” he laughed, ruffling my hair playfully “I can carry her in my bag” 
I rolled my eyes “No, I’m not” I whined “Stop” 
He laughed again, and as he lifted his arm, and rested his elbow on my head.  “See this (Y/n) to Calum ratio” he mocks “I’m half a person” 
“Perfect size” I giggle, pushing him aside playfully. “Now that you’ve exposed my height, can we keep going please?” I say, almost begging. 
If we kept going with this, I could easily turn from funny to not so funny anymore. 
What do we argue about the most? 
Once again, we stay quiet for a good second, but not because we don’t know, it’s because there was really not an specific answer we could give. I don’t we even knew what to say. 
“I would say, the majority of times, we argue for the most dumb things you could imagine” I say, answering for the both of us  “But about serious things, it’s something very rare” I shrug. 
“I think our trending topic when discussing about something, it’s about me misspelling words when writing, and her losing it” he says, pointing at us and totally throwing me a look. 
“Dude” I sigh “Because then people will read and take it the wrong way, not cool” I argue. 
“It doesn’t matter, you just explain” he shrugs, completely not caring. 
“You need to listen, that’s what you need to do” I roll my eyes  “Read a book, punk” I let out. 
His eyes widen at my answer. “Oh is that it?” He says looking at me directly. 
I crack a smile, going to hug him, before he thought I was serious about this. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding” I let him know. 
I would never tell him something like that on purpose.
Nicknames for each other?
I sigh. “Sadly, I don’t have anything other than Cal, and all the regular sappy nicknames” I shrug  “I know I’m terrible, sue me, I don’t care” 
I speak honestly, all super creative nicknames were over thought and they could be weird sometimes. I was too classy to use anything overly new. 
“That’s mean, because I do have a couple of names for you” he mentions “Sweetie pie, Baby… The others I can’t reveal” he says slowly, patting my thigh with his hand. 
my nose scrunches “Why?” I ask. 
“They’re very confidential, you should know that”  he says, shaking his head. 
I shrug. “If I’m honest, I don’t know” I giggle “But I’ll keep the secret if that’s what you want”
He smiles, and leaving kiss on my cheek, we move on to the next question. 
Complete this sentence “You’re my……..”?
“Oh, this is the famous question” he says after reading the question out loud. A smile cracking on his face as he looked at me. 
“Was there a famous question?” I asked, raising my eyebrow. 
“All the guys were talking about this one, I’m sure you guys are enjoying this” he smiled at the camera and pointing at It. “Luke’s girl cried” he mentioned to me. 
My eyes widen “Did she?” I say, my mouth forming a pout “Oh man, I haven’t seen that” I sigh “You first”
He nods, already knowing that he would be the one taking the lead first.
“You are my saviour” he says, going to grab my hand. “I know it might sound sappy and you hate it, but it’s the truth. Before you I was a lonely guy, even when I had friends, I still felt pretty lonely, and I really appreciate the fact that I found someone who I can talk to, share moments… someone who I can lean on, It’s something that really gets me thinking… If it wasn’t for you, I would be sad” he says, pressing his lips together as he looked at me. 
“Really?” I asked in a whisper. He nods. “Cal…”
I wish I could keep it together, but hearing him say something like this… I’m front of a camera. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, we’ve been in these kinds of situations before, but right now, it felt different, and it felt special. 
“No, baby, don’t” he chuckles when sees my eyes starting to Glow. “See?” He tells the camera with a smile. 
“I don’t even know what to say…” I sigh, shaking my head “You’re my partner” I say smiling. “Probably sounds weird, because it’s obvious, but I mean it, you’re my best friend, I love spending time with you, I always look forward to be with you and have you by my side, I can tell you everything and I trust you more than anyone, I think being with you is without a doubt, the best decision I have ever taken in my life” I admit. 
The grin on his face is a real one, and once I finish with my words, he gives a squeeze to my hands, and leaves a kiss in both of them. 
“Come here, baby” he whispers, pulling my into his arms. “I love you, I love you, I love you” he says, kissing my cheek a lot. 
“You’re squishing me” I laugh “I love you so much, a million times, more than you do” 
And more than he could imagine…
                                                    _____
“So, this was our version of the girlfriend and boyfriend tag, I hope you enjoyed” I say first, as I smiled to the camera. 
“We also hope this brought you enough entertainment during this time, we for sure had a good time doing it” He continues for me, waving at the camera. “Until the next time, and remember to stay safe, bye!”
With this, we both lift our hands, and wave energetically at the camera, we turn of the camera, and our version of this tag was completed. 
It was a wrap!.

𝐦𝐫. 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 (𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏)
((Howdy there, this is my first time writing on here, so I hope you enjoy!))
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Summary: You accept a job as an assistant to the now world-famous Colson Baker, who shattered the charts with his album Tickets To My Downfall, and an Oscar winner for his success in the award-winning film titled Midnight in the Switchgrass, which also starred his ex, Megan Fox. But once you are accepted for the job, you seem to get closer than anticipated with Mr. Baker. 
Tumblr media
𝑾𝑯𝑬𝑵 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑯𝑨𝑫 graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, you had never expected to be getting a job like this. Sure, you had heard about your employer. He had won an Oscar for christ’s sake. Not to mention a Grammy-winning album. You had to say that personally, you were a fan, which was one of the main reasons you interviewed for the job. But never in a million years did you think you would land it. 
When you were employed, you were expected to start right after you had applied, which you obliged, even though his house was a thirty-minute drive away. 
So now, there you were, sitting in your car, taking deep breaths. You had arrived several minutes early. You had pulled into the driveway, breathing in and out as you prepared yourself. You were excited but scared out of your mind.
“Come on, AJ, you got this, just go in there and try to not be a nuisance,” you spoke to yourself. With a deep breath, you exited the vehicle brushing yourself up, walking up the long, intimidating stairs. 
You raised your hand up, taking hold of the lion-shaped knocker and knocked three times, the echos being heard even from the outside. The door was large and almost looming over you with its height. You took the waiting time to look around at the garden out front, trimmed to perfection and colorful pink roses littering the gravel. It was nothing less than stunning. 
“Who’s there?” a voice asked, making you jump, your eyes shifting around. 
You then realized the voice was a Ring doorbell system, and you mentally slapped yourself for not just using that. You leaned down slightly, trying to meet the camera’s eye, giving a warm smile. 
“Um, I’m Adeline Williams, I’m the new assistant for Mr. Baker, I was instructed to start today,”
“Yeah, I’ll be right down.” 
The voice was deeper then what you would think Mr. Baker would sound like, having seen plenty of interviews. Suddenly the door swung open, revealing a tall African-American male. He had to be at least six feet tall. 
“What’s up, I’m Slim,” He held his hand out for a handshake, which you quickly took. 
“Yeah, I’m Adeline, but you can just call me AJ,” you responded, “Where is Mr. Baker?”
“Yeah, he’s still asleep. His manager made you a binder for your duties and other stuff. It’s good to meet you though, just feel free to come in and grab your stuff in the kitchen.” He stated, stepping aside and motioning for you to enter. 
You walked in, taking in the entryway. The walls were littered with gold record plaques for collabs he had done with other artists. Paintings of him were scattered around, some furniture almost automatically spotted that looked more expensive than your entire apartment. The ceiling was high-up, light fixtures illuminating the space, giving off a warm feel to the area. 
You slipped off your flats, Slim already slipping away into the maze of the house, leaving you to find the kitchen by yourself. Your sock-clad feet patted across the hard floor, your eyes wandering around, trying to find the kitchen in the stupidly large house. 
You walked down a hallway, reaching another large room, but now the walls were covered in posters and guitars, a drum set in the corner, recording systems, speakers, and even a Monster Energy Drink sponsored mini fridge which was fully stocked, drawings and art above it, the window next to it letting a fair amount of light in, the curtains drawn. You walked over to the drum set, running your hand on one of the symbols, which had sadly had a light coat of dust on it. Come to think of it, so did most of the other instruments.
“You could play them if you want,” another voice said behind you, making you jump and whip around, your eyes instantly meeting the eyes of your employer. 
He was tall, six foot four according to Google, his exposed chest littered with so many tattoos, you couldn’t possibly count them all. His bleach-blond hair was long and shaggy on top of his head, meaning he had probably just woken up, grey sweatpants covering his bottom half, the hem of his boxers peeking over the waistband of the grey material, making you blush and meet his eyes again. 
“Oh, um, I’m sorry, I don’t play,” you then mentally slapped yourself once again, “Sorry, what am I saying. I’m Adeline - Um, Williams, I’m here as your new assistant.” 
He looked you up and down, taking in you attire, a slight sneer appearing on his face, only for a second. You guessed by his reaction that you were over-dressed. 
“You look like a kindergarten teacher.” he laughed. 
“Uhm, noted, do you... want me to take off my sweater or something?” you asked. 
He scoffed, biting his lip and turning away, holding back from saying something that you were guessing would piss you off. 
You sighed, slipping off your sweater and messing with your hands, “Would you mind showing me to your kitchen? Your friend, Slim told me that your manager had had something in there for me,”
“Yeah, follow me,” he muttered, turning on his heel and walking away, your own small feet scuttering across the floor, following him. 
And of course, the kitchen was as stunning at the rest of the house, the size, making it look like a gourmet kitchen. And there on one of the granite countertops was a .5 inch pale white binder. Colson walked over to his coffee machine, starting it up and watching you walk over, opening it up. 
It listed normal duties like setting up venues for tours, making appointments with the production company, merchandise shipment, and payment, normal duties for Colson himself, (Making iced coffee, booking flights, rides for Casie, his daughter, for school, etc.), and traveling with him to the recording studio for sessions, along with renting time for the studio itself. 
“So, what do ya think. The list gonna scare you off?” he asked, a sly smile on his face. 
“Well, seems easy enough. It just seems like a lot of booking things.” you smiled, “But it shouldn’t be a problem at all, Mr. Baker.”
He grimaced, “Yikes, just call me Colson. You make me sound like an old man. And if I’m going to be seeing you every day, we kinda need to be on a first-name basis.” he said, opening one of the hundreds of cabinets on the wall, pulling out a mug, “What’s your name again?”
“Adeline. But you can just call me AJ.” you looked back down at the papers, turning to a page to all the numbers needed for your position. 
“What’s the J?” 
“Huh?” you asked, not looking away from the page. 
“Well, in AJ I already know what the A is, so what’s the J?” He smirked, pouring the coffee grounds into the coffee maker, pressing start. 
“Oh, um, Jane.” you shrugged off. 
“Adeline Jane Williams,” he repeated to himself out loud. 
Your heart unintentionally fluttered. Never in a million years did you think that Colson Baker, Machine Gun Kelly, would ever say your full name. 
Tumblr media
The day went by smoothly, your brain soon catching onto the rhythm of things, you and Colson making small talk as you typed away, sending emails to the publishing companies, his agent, manager, and PR team. Colson would occasionally text you to make him a drink, which you did, always getting right back to work afterward. People came in and out, paying you no mind. The only one you honestly recognized was Rook, his drummer, who only came in to grab a beer from the fridge. Soon enough, the time reached 5 o’clock. 
“So, what do you wanna eat?” he suddenly asked, walking into the kitchen area, leaning over the counter you were working at. 
The sound of the TV played as you heard the laughter of a group of people in the other room. 
“Oh, I honestly have no preference,” you answered honestly, looking up from your Chromebook. 
“You sure? Me and the guys were gonna Postmate some stuff, but they can’t decide either.”
“Ummm, I heard there’s a really good restaurant downtown called Beau Jo's. Hear they have a mean menu of Cajun food.” you perked up, 
“Alright, Beau Jo’s it is.” He responded, picking up his phone and walking away. 
Even though you two had small talk, you still felt like he was so cold to you. Like he didn’t like you, or he didn’t trust you. But you really needed this job. After you finished with your work, you walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. 
There, you were greeted with glancing eyes of 20 or more people, who were scattered throughout the space. 
A man walked up to you, looking eccentric as ever. You only knew him because you knew he dated Bella Thorne, but you would never tell him that. 
“Heyyyy, you must be the new assistant. Welcome to the best years of your life!” he greeted, slinging an arm around your shoulders, a cola in his other hand. The smell of expensive cologne. 
“Modern Sunshine, I presume?” I asked in a snobby British accent, making him laugh. 
“Yo Kells! I like this chick!” he called out to Colson, who was across the room talking to some blond broad in short shorts and a crop top. 
“Why don’t you come meet the rest of the guys.”
Tumblr media
Well, you knew it was coming. It was the end of the night and everyone had gone home, and it was your job to order Ubers for everyone who wasn’t fit to drive. (Which was close to half the people there). 
You gathered up your things, sighing as you grabbed your kindergarten teacher sweater, packing it in your bag along with your computer and everything else. Finally, you tucked the binder into the back pocket. 
“You heading out?” Colson asked from behind you, his hand on your shoulder. 
Your arms formed goosebumps as you looked back smiling, “Yeah, I think it’s that time.” 
“Cool. Well, have a good night.” he said while you slipped on your flats, “Oh, and one more thing before you go.”
You turned your head to look into his eyes. 
“Tomorrow wear something more... spicy,”

Ryuji & Joon-gi - Honourable Men’s Big Summer Festival [RGGO]
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Side Story | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6
EDIT: This takes place in the intervening weeks between Chapter 3 and 4, though it’s not necessary to read those first before this to enjoy Ryuji being a himbo here :D Cue Joon-gi being tired of his antics:
Tumblr media
Note: I translated this a year ago as you might notice/remember, so the way things are worded may be slightly different. I didn’t feel like re-translating everything ^^. Also the “Fukuo” they keep referring to is 福男 , which means “blessed man” or something. And with that . . .
.
PROLOGUE
.
|Goda Ryuji and Han Joon-gi leave the town of Onomichi, Hiroshima. They continue traveling west.|
Tumblr media
Han Joon-gi: “What’s this about, Ryuji-san. Are we stopping here to eat?”
Ryuji: “To piss.”
Han Joon-gi: “But I don’t see any public toilets here?”
Ryuji: “They say that in Japan, it’s okay to be shameless when you’re traveling.”
Han Joon-gi: “I don’t think this is what the saying is referring to.  . . . hm?”
{Joon-gi notices a sign while Ryuji does his “business” hopefully near a tree and not on the street or something >_<}
Han Joon-gi: “Minatozaki Town’s . . . Men Festival? And the date is today?”
Ryuji: “Men Festival? Sounds burning hot.”
Han Joon-gi: “It’s soon.”
Ryuji: “Other than pissing, it’s not like we have anything else to do. Let’s go see it.”
{Ryuji runs off.}
Han Joon-gi: “. . . did you wash your hands?”
----
Tumblr media
Town Youth A: “Yeah! I have a good feeling . . . I’ll be getting this year’s Fukuo!”
Town Youth B: “That’s crazy talk. This year’s Fukuo is mine!”
Ryuji: “Aren’t they lively. These young guys look ready to murder each other.”
Han Joon-gi: “It must be related to the Men Festival.”
Tumblr media
Town Mister: “Oh, are you guys outsiders?”
Ryuji: “What an old man.”
Town Mister: “Hahaha. I’m the receptionist for the Men Festival. It’s been a long time since outsiders have visited our Men Festival, so I’m happy.”
Han Joon-gi: “. . .What kind of festival is this?”
Town Mister: “What? Didn’t you come here for the festival?”
Han Joon-gi: “Eh. We just happened to stop by.”
Town Mister: “Oh . . . but please join us. I’m sure you’ll find the festival exciting. Especially the blond young man! He seems to be strong. ‘Fukuo’ won’t be just a dream!”
Ryuji: “What’s this ‘Fukuo’?”
Town Mister: “Ah, the ‘Minatozaki Town Men Festival’ is a festival that decides Fukuo through sumo every year. When the festival begins, all the young men aspiring to be Fukuo fight all at once on the grounds. The strongest man who wins the turmoil and remains standing at the end will be the prestigious Fukuo. Fukuo launches a big fireworks display that concludes the festival, promising lifelong prosperity and health.”
Ryuji: “So you have to be the strongest man, huh.”
Town Mister: “So! Sounds interesting, right? That’s why you guys should join us too.”
Ryuji: “Hm, I don’t have time to be competing for King of the Hill in the countryside.”
Han Joon-gi: (. . . Oh? That’s unexpected.)
Town Mister: “Don’t say that! It may be the countryside, but don’t you want to show off your skills?”
Town Youth A: “Mister, don’t bother. He’s clearly trying to make excuses to run away.”
Town Youth B: “Yeah, yeah! He’s probably scared he’ll get injured and start crying.”
Ryuji: “. . . Oh?”
Town Youth B: “Oh, are you angry? We’ll try to be nicer.”
Town Youth A: “We train our bodies every year for this, unlike you strangers. It’ll be nothing like what you expect. So just go and sit with the elderly.”
Han Joon-gi: (Haa . . . and here I thought we’d be able to leave early.)
Ryuji: “Change of plans. Hey old man, I want to participate.”
Han Joon-gi: (You don’t even know how it’s going down. Jeez . . .)
Town Mister: “Eh? Really?”
Ryuji: “I’m not interested in Fukuo, but it would be fun to teach these small frogs the size of the wide sea.”
Town Youth A: “What’s that . . . !”
Town Mister: “In that case, I’ll give you these scratchcard tickets issued by the Chamber of Commerce. The rule is that you have to give this to the other party when you lose.”
Ryuji: “Is that right. Yo, Han. You have luggage. Get ready to hold tickets in both hands.”
Han Joon-gi: “Aren’t you ashamed of having such a big mouth?”
Ryuji: “Haha! What for!”
{The sound of a single firework going off can be heard.}
Ryuji: “Oh! It’s starting!!”
Town Youth A: “Go find someone else, he’s mine to beat.”
Town Youth B: “I’ll be the one beating him first.”
Tumblr media
Ryuji: “Phew . . .”
Tumblr media
Ryuji: “This should be fun. Let’s go!!”
.
-END-
.
EPILOGUE
.
Tumblr media
Town Youth A: “Wh-What strength . . .”
Ryuji: “Phew . . . I worked up quite the sweat.”
Town Mister: “A-Amazing . . . all the young men have been defeated . . .!”
Han Joon-gi: “. . . It’s surprisingly heavy having to hold these many scratchcard tickets . . .”
Ryuji: “Oi, old man! This means I get first place, right?”
Town Mister: “Y-Yes! Congratulations!”
Town Youth A: “. . . wait a minute.”
Ryuji: “What? Still haven’t had enough?”
Town Youth A: “. . . No, I wanted to apologize. I was being stupid and mean.”
Town Youth B: “Yeah, you were amazing!”
Town Youth C: “You were great, bro!”
Town Youth D: “You may be the strongest man ever!”
Town Youth A: “. . . I’m proud to have met you. Congratulations.”
Ryuji: “Country people are real honest, huh.”
Shinto Priest: “The Fukuo’s ritual is about to start! Fukuo-san . . . come up here!”
Ryuji: “Who’s the Fukuo?! It’s Goda Ryuji!!”
Tumblr media
Han Joon-gi: “. . . Is the ritual going to be long?”
Town Mister: “All he has to do is wear the fundoshi and then light the fireworks canister. It will be over soon.”
Shinto Priest: “H-hey! Please wait! The one you’re carrying is . . . !”
Ryuji: “It’s crazy! This is more exciting than I thought!”
Han Joon-gi: “. . . hm?”
Tumblr media
Ryuji: “Sorry to keep you all waiting! A big fireworks show is about to launch!!”
Town Mister: “Hiii! Da-dangerous!!”
Ryuji: “Let’s go! Do it in one shot!”
Town Mister: “Hiii!”
Town Youth: “E-Everyone, run!”
{A really loud explosion of fireworks can be heard.}

Here’s what the Ryuji card looks btw :D

I think Joon-gi is holding a towel because the text on the right says “Please use it” and the one on the left points to him as being “sweet for lending”? I’m not sure, but Ryuji is definitely going “GAHAHA!!!” off-screen XD

🌻🎨 miyoshi kazunari
this was it, the biggest fair in the whole country was this weekend and this weekend only. you guys had to go
“yo~ we gotta go!!!” kazunari practically pushed the flyer in your face, not giving you time to read the colorful, bright font as he excitedly rambled about it being his dream to even attend such an iconic event
it didn’t take much convincing before he had whipped out two admission tickets from his pocket, as if he already knew you’d be on board with such a fun date with the coolest boyfriend ever!
(seriously... if you said no... he might’ve cried by himself, he just wants to check off a bucketlist goal with his favorite person and best friend ever!)
(“wah~ i’m so #cool right? give me a kiss to prove it!!!” when you actually did it, he was quiet for about three seconds before he started cooing and sending an attack of affection your way)
you two planned your outfits ahead of time (the only thing he bothered planning), with kazunari rummaging through your closet and throwing pieces he thought would coordinate behind him (ultimately landing on your face).
he was being your personal fashion consultant (you didn’t question him, he was an art student who knew how to dress!)
throughout the entire process, you strutted out of the bathroom like it was a runway with your ever chaotic and supportive boyfriend clapping. he had a questionable french accent as he complimented you without end
“my chérie, you are absolutely darling!” kazunari flipped the end of a feather boa over his shoulder dramatically as he had on a pair of sunglasses (how he found that in your room was beyond you). he sat at the edge of your bed with his legs crossed, pretending to write critics down on an invisible notepad as he feigned fainting out of shock
kazunari ran over to pull you in a hug as soon as you found one of his options perfect. he blabbered about how cute you were and how he was so lucky
you tried processing how your boyfriend had so much energy. he was so dramatic, but you never felt unconfident or nervous to be yourself around him because kazunari loved you for who you were!
when you collectively agreed on the best outfit, kazunari worked to find something of his own to match you to be that couple at the amusement park (it was hilariously coincidental he almost had the same items)
(the #ootd on instagram that day got him so many likes when he included multiple mirror pictures with you doing ridiculous poses. he captioned the picture with so many happy faces and heart emojis)
(yes, he had his own story category reserved just for your pictures)
(yes, you also were the person behind a majority of his posts online and was credited every single time without fail) (you were known as “kazu’s photo guru”)
“kazu... are you sure you don’t want to plan ahead?” you asked carefully as he just scrolled through his phone, disrupting his rant about having the most iconic date of all time. kazunari just laughed, shrugging without looking up
“don’t worry~ everything will be fine!” kazunari exclaimed as he asked his followers recommendations for rides to check out. you knew he wouldn’t change his mind with his “happy–go–lucky” attitude
you just hoped the drive to the park wouldn’t be a nightmare since it would be so crowded
on the ride up, you two screamed pop lyrics at the top of your lungs no matter how busy the road was (you two never noticed, but at stop lights, you’d be the center of attention as kazunari just had to fail at a whistle note with the windows down)
the moment kazunari took control of the aux cord, you knew it was going to be a party until you arrived. you two sang together so much that you knew which parts were yours and effortlessly bounced off each other, flowing naturally and laughing nonstop
although kazunari went with the flow, he had the luck of the world on his side the day when you guys showed up. he had managed to find parking, got in line fast, and made it into the amusement park like it was second nature
(you knew of horror stories where the lines were way too long in the blazing heat, kids crying about not winning, indifferent employees not caring at all... how did kazunari manage to repel all the bad from your life and make it as easy as possible?)
it was as if his positive energy about the whole day manifested the universe to give him the easiest entrance ever (or it was his insanely charming charisma that got him off the hook with just about anything)
you two even got a discount on your tickets, believe it or not! somehow, one look at you two and the seller knew you were a couple (the matching outfits definitely didn’t give it away) and gave you extra for “young love”
(kazunari was so ecstatic, you were almost worried he was going to kiss the employee right then and there. you had to drag him away before he got on first–name basis with everyone)
when you two got your wristbands and went to the grounds, kazunari let out the loudest squeal of excitement ever and had to stop himself from jumping up and down (just bouncing on his heels like an impatient child)
“O. M. G!!! we’re gonna have the best date ever!” kazunari shouted, holding onto your hand as he took in the entire view, with so much to do for the entire day
booths were set up with so many fun (but rigged) games with yelling handlers, advertising their set–up to passerbys with infectious energy. crowds of children were rambling in awe about the animal display (like the world’s biggest pig apparently, who knew?). screaming passengers were swinging over your heads from the multitudes of crazy rides only the country’s biggest fair could have
you were so busy taking in the view of kazunari’s excited big eyes and huge grin that you missed the mischevious spark glinting back at you
when he craned his head back at the tallest ride there was, that contraption that somehow brought tens of people in the air just to swing them around in a circle, you suddenly came back to earth
“—wanna bet?” kazunari finished, tilting his head towards you with a competitive edge. you raised an eyebrow, not bothering to question it when you swung your arm around his shoulders and smirked back
“bet.”
suddenly, you were being dragged to the games section, passing by the crowds easily when kazunari was always by your side. it was as if the road parted for him when he reached a display with balloons pinned to the wall
“i know you didn’t hear me, which is why i’m going to win~” kazunari teasingly hip–bumped you, passing the necessary amount of tickets to the game runner which they accepted graciously. you just shrugged, picking up the fake plastic rifle they let players use
(“was i too handsome?!” kazunari joked, missing how you actually agreed)
“yeah, yeah. i don’t need to know, i’m gonna win.” you winked, making kazunari swoon as he lifted his arm to his forehead with a dramatic flair
“my hero!” kazunari called out as you readied yourself to shoot the balloons, knowing the odds were gravely against your favor
“what am i shooting for again?” you asked, putting your cheek against the gun. kazunari just slid up to next to you, his lips brushing your ear with a smile
“if you lose, we’re riding the swings together~” kazunari giggled and you fired, hitting one balloon with satisfaction. kazunari wrapped his arms around your waist, reading his chin on your free shoulder despite you trying to focus
“and if i win?” you asked, not bothering to entertain your clingy boyfriend as you hit another balloon. even the person running the game seemed anxious about your chances at crushing the whole thing
“we can do whatever you want.” kazunari breathed out, placing a gentle kiss on your neck with a laugh when you flinched. you hit your last shot though, exhaling in relief when the attendant begrudgingly gave you a large–sized prize
(it was a super triangle, you definitely knew who you were giving this to when you got to the dorms)
“you know what, i think we’re both winners.” kazunari tried to laugh off, but you didn’t let him get away that easy when you grabbed his hand quickly
“nu–uh! you know where we’re going!” you giddily pulled him towards another game, leaving kazunari holding onto the super triangle with great difficulty as you two played game after game
(you were right; kazunari was an universal favorite as he somehow managed to swindle the toughest of games with sheer luck)
(when a kid began asking him to play a game for them, you knew you had to stop making your boyfriend do outrageous things just for a stuffed animal)
(at least kazunari got a cool boomerang story on his snapchat of him throwing a ring onto a bottle)
“make a deal with me~” kazunari begged, holding way too many prizes to count in between his arms as you looked around for more. he was about to give up but as he caught sight of two double doors with a neon sign, he knew you’d agree immediately
“if i win every game in the arcade, we’re going on the carnival rides.”
when you accepted the deal, you regretted it. somehow, you forgot how kazunari always had everything go his way
it was like you forgot all about the rides outside. you two entered an air–conditioned, hipster arcade and had to play everything despite dropping the coins everywhere (“please keep them in the cup!” “it’s not my fault!!!”)
you name it, kazunari probably won it. fuseball, air hockey, pac–man, nintendo crane machines, zombie shooters, motorcycle/driving simulators, he won it all just for the hell of it. you’d never admit it, but he really was just the best at everything he did
although the games were fun, it was time to fulfill your end of the deal (as deserved since kazunari had no reason to go as hard as he did at the ddr pad inside the arcade)
after storing all the stuffed animals into the cramped back of the car with kazunari apologizing to them profusely (“dad is so sorry! we’ll be back soon~ promise!”), you two returned to have the biggest adrenaline rush of your life
any rollercoaster kazunari saw, he wanted to go on right away. lines felt like nothing when all he did was talk them away and get so excited seeing the ride rush by
kid–specific rollercoasters had to prevent him from going (“i’m sorry, sir, but your height exceeds the maximum” “what???” kazunari would feign shock as if he wasn’t five heads taller than the whole line)
he wanted to try it all since he never had this experience before! he wanted to make all these memories with you even if it meant yelling his head off as long as you were by his side
(seriously, one ride you had squeezed your eyes shut but heard the most high–pitched scream ever. you thought it was someone else, but of course it was your boyfriend)
you didn’t mind that much, since you used the whole ride time to grip kazunari’s hand tightly and make sure his hat stayed on the entire ride (why he wore one was questionable, anything for fashion, you guess)
ironically enough, you had done about ten rides with dizzying effects before ending it with the swings, the tall ride he initially wanted to go on with you. when you looked up at the full height, you gulped after being strapped to the two–person swing (how was this safe?!)
it was the first ride you weren’t exactly comfortable with, but when you looked at your seat partner, kazunari had two thumbs up with a big dumb grin. you instantly calmed down before the ride started
“i love you!” kazunari exclaimed as the ride began pulling you up further from the ground, holding onto your hand and looking up at the blue sky with the giddiest expression ever
it was the first time he had said he loved you out loud before, but before you could process it, all you could do was scream when the ride began rotating you around in a circle
(you had to stop him from taking out his phone, reminding him the post wasn’t worth it)
(though, kazunari did drop his hat this time. he really was lucky to find it again)
“okay, okay,” kazunari stumbled off the ride, exaggerating his lack of balance by holding onto you, his excitement not even decreasing a little after so many hours of fun
“food time! my muse needs a snack!” kazunari had whipped out the crumpled map someone gave him from his pocket, quickly locating the area without being delayed (he was always good at directions, it must’ve been why he was so popular at these types of social events)
somehow, kazunari always knew what you needed at every exact moment. you were thankful he couldn’t hear your stomach growl over the sound of the general atmostphere
when you guys arrived at the food hall, it was definitely the greatest prize of all (sorry to the stuffed animals who were defintely overheating in the parking lot)
all the best chefs and caterers came together for this event with the most outrageous food options of all time. fried oreos, cheese curds, cotton candy, caramel apples, churros, basically anything you imagined, it was most likely 1000x better with some funky twist
you never had to be nervous ordering because kazunari always stepped up and spoke, letting you hold his hand as if to reassure you he had the situation handled. he would somehow form a meaningful friendship with someone within two minutes of ordering and got extras, hurrying over to a table with every option possible
(yes, he took a photo of the whole spread and added ridiculous hashtags only savvy internet users knew) (he also posted on his private an embarrassing candid picture of you drooling at the food)
kazunari liked feeding you whatever he was eating, always encouraging you to try new things but respecting your boundaries at the same time just in case you weren’t up for it
(“oh, you don’t want to? no big deal~ just happy to be with you!” he’d say, wiping your mouth with a napkin regardless and just being content with you not being hungry)
while eating, you noticed a pattern of kids walking by, pointing at kazunari like he was a legend
“is that the guy who won basically every prize back at the games? wow~” they whispered, not realizing kazunari was extremely observant as his ears perked up at his name. he had turned to wave at the children, but they ran off
“you know...” kazunari started, and you already knew what he was gonna say as you rolled your eyes fondly, knowing how big his heart was, especially for innocent children who kept getting scammed by games
“yes, we have no need for most of the giant stuffed animals.” you pretended to sigh, as he quickly got up, giving you a quick kiss as thanks on your cheek as he ran back to the car
for the next hour or so, you and kazunari managed to give out most of your prizes (except anything triangular) to the children who had been staring, all of their parents or guardians thanking you guys profusely for your gift (though, there were some who were staring at kazunari suspiciously)
(as if they should be afraid of a liberal arts college student)
“it’s no big deal~ no problem!” kazunari always said, truly finding it not bothersome at all to share. you always admired that about kazunari, his natural instinct to care for everybody and make people smile. at a distance
you leaned against a light pole with a small smile as you watched kazunari crouch down, ruffling some kid’s hair as he gave them a prize
when he instinctually looked for you, he smiled back like you were the only person at the park
suddenly, you wished you said “i love you, too” before back at the swings
after indulging, you two shared an ice cream cone on the hot summer’s day as the lights began to turn on and the sun set. this was apparently the best part of the fair, where all the colors would pop like fireworks and the night breeze was your friend
you two had basically done everything at this point, even being the amusement park’s robin hoods with your wins. the arcade had both your names at the top of every digital leaderboard, the ride controllers had seen you too many times to count, and you two had digested an unhealthy amount of snacks that you’d regret the next day
what else could you do? it was already the most perfect date, there was nothing else except...
this time, you leaned your head back and saw a circular shape blocking the sunset: the ferris wheel
you turned to kazunari, who was already admiring the way the light hit your face. he wanted to paint you right then and there before you ruined the serene moment by biting your ice cream (why?!)
“i bet i can make it to the ferris wheel the fastest, wanna bet?” you questioned and you never saw kazunari grin even bigger as his eyes lit up with recognition
“bet!”
you two raced to the ferris wheel, much to the chagrin of every carnival–goer ever who dodged your fast advances. you got to the line first, skidding to a stop and nearly bumping into the person ahead of you as kazunari whacked into your back with an “oof!”
“awww, what do i have to do now that i totally lost?” kazunari pouted, but you just giggled and poked his cheek, not noticing how he became slightly flustered from your touch (you could never tell, it was a hot day)
“go on it with me.” you offered and he didn’t even think twice before he agreed, realizing this was the ride he’s been waiting to go on with you this entire time
(kazunari remembered the only other thing he really researched was this ferris wheel, where a rumor around it stated two people who went on it would be together forever)
when you two were allowed into one of the trolleys, you two sat close like always with your head on his shoulder. the orange light made everything feel like a fantasy, like this was a daydream. you didn’t want to wake up as kazunari squeezed your hand the moment the wheel started increasing
slowly but surely, you two were going around in circles as you savored the moment, wanting nothing more than to be here with kazunari forever
“you know... i never thought i’d be here.” kazunari started and you hummed, encouraging him to keep going as his thumb traced circles around your palm
“i didn’t have many friends growing up, so it would’ve been totes not cool to come to these things alone!” kazunari tried to play it off as some joke, but you knew better, just lowering your hand to his lap and waiting for him to talk
“but... now... i have friends? good—no, great friends! and... i have you. i’m living, and i have you.” kazunari trailed off, like this was a revelation he hadn’t realized before. the quietness between you two dragged on too long, you wondered what he was thinking
you opened your eyes and kazunari was already looking at you again with a soft smile, not bothering to notice anything else but you, like he wanted to remember this forever
you two reached the top of the ferris wheel, the wheel stopping to give you two a moment by yourself with the sunset
“i love you.” kazunari said again, and you didn’t hold back this time
“i love you, too.” you whispered, afraid to break the moment. but kazunari laughed, and you were laughing, and it was like the funniest joke ever as you two tried to maintain your composure
even as you two got off, you couldn’t let go of him as he did the same. these were the memories child–kazunari always dreamt of, and they were so much better than he ever imagined
after saying goodbye to all his new friends, kazunari couldn’t stop smiling as he drove home, with you sleeping beside him in the passenger seat
he turned off his music this time and carefully watched the road. taking one hand off the wheel, kazunari took your own and kissed your knuckles again and again with love
“i love you, i love you, i love you.” kazunari said, like he couldn’t say anything else but that
(kazunari posted a shot where he held your hand in front of the sunset on the ferris wheel with the caption: “best date ever”)
kazunari really had luck on his side if he was in love with you, maybe he had the ferris wheel to thank for that!

Hogwarts Express
Tumblr media
Pick up line series // Jung Yunho
Hey guys, here’s a Yunho one shot. Tbh, I don’t know much about Harry Potter but I really do hope my facts are right. 
Anyways, enjoy! 
‘’Is this the Hogwarts Express? Because it feels like you and I are headed somewhere magical.’’
‘’They say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Well apparently, no one has ever been standing next to you.’’
Word count: 2.3K 
‘Rise and shine sleepyhead!’ The loud voice who belonged to Yunho woke you up from your dreams.
Groaning in disappointment, you pulled the edge of the duvet closer to your head and cuddled into the duvet. The scent of Yunho on the duvet was really what makes you sleep at night.
You didn’t know you craved so much for his scent.
When you weren’t with him in the dorms, you’d usually steal a hoodie or two of his to be worn as pajamas during the night.
‘5 minutes.’ You mumbled, falling into deep slumber again. Yunho kept you up all night last night, educating you about Harry Potter. He was such a nerd, but you loved it. It was what makes him special. You had almost little to no knowledge on Harry Potter (A/N; I really do not so bear with me on this.)
‘No!’ Yunho cried out. He jumped onto the bed and pulled you by your arms. His strong arms engulfing you in a hug as he caressed your body on his.
‘It’s like 5 in the morning, Yunnie.’ You mumbled. You were sure you had a max of 2 hours sleep, keeping the baby (your boyfriend, Yunho) entertained as he talked about Harry Potter with so much passion.
You loved it when he story tells and talks on and on about the things he likes. It’s absolutely adorable and you know it makes him really happy.
He pulled you to the edge of the bed before carrying you bridal style out of the room.
When the both of you entered the living room (with you in his arms), you could see everyone was awake and had the most tired faces.
It was Yunho’s birthday and the boys and you planned to bring him to Universal Studios, knowing his absolutely love for Harry Potter. The other boys loved Harry Potter too but at this point everyone was just really tired.
It was set that everyone to leave at 7 in the morning. It was 5 am. Why the hell did Yunho wake you up when it takes almost an hour more for everyone take turns in using the bathroom.
You’ve always wondered how the sequence in using the bathroom was in their dorm since they only had 2 bathrooms. You didn’t really mind as you can just hop in the shower when it’s Yunho’s turn.
Wooyoung and San were dozing off.
Mingi looked like he was about to punch someone, as if something small could just set him off.
Hongjoong was fast asleep (again) with his head leaning on Seonghwa’s shoulders and Seonghwa rested his head on Yeosang’s shoulders. Meanwhile, Jongho was sprawled across the living room floor with soft snores coming from him.
The car ride to Universal Studios was intensely quiet. The younger boys were snoring slightly. Their manager was driving. You had your head rested on Yunho’ shoulder. You could tell he was trying really hard not to doze off.
‘We’re here.’ The manager announced and you swear you were almost shoved to the side because of how fast Yunho got up.
‘Remember, we meet here by 11 pm okay?’ The manager said. The boys nodded before running towards the entrance. Yunho pulling you as you tried to keep up with his pace. Damn bloody long legs!
For the boys that dozed off in the car, they sure were energetic as heck.
The line wasn’t that long, and the group had express access to the park the tickets were bought beforehand.
You were excited to see how Yunho would react to the party later. The boys and you planned for almost months. You really hoped he liked it.  
The group didn’t split up and it really didn’t feel like you were on a date. It was more of like a field trip with your best buds. They were, after all your closest friends. You knew Mingi when you were in high school and when he left suddenly, you still kept in touch with him. You were there since they debuted and somehow you ended up falling for Yunho.
The events of how you and Yunho became boyfriend and girlfriend were still a blur to you. The signs at first were super subtle and you were so confused. The both of you shed a lot of tears to be together, it’s hilarious when you think of it now.
Occasionally when the boys went out for trips, they always included you. They knew when to give you and Yunho time alone and they know when to be around.
You never felt awkward at all with them.
The 9 of you got on many rides, even getting drenched in a few rides. You were grateful when Yunho covered his entire body (which engulfed you) and prevented you from getting more drenched.
Lunch time came around but the group did not want to stop getting on the attractions, so lunch went by with occasionally a shared bucket of popcorn for each person.
Jongho even managed to sneak in a small tiny chocolate bar which the 9 of you pathetically divided into smaller pieces.
Night came not long after. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was left as the last as it was where the surprise will be held.
You enjoyed your time with Yunho, especially when the group entered The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Yunho was so happy, your heart almost exploded. He even said the cheesiest pick up line.
‘Baby!’ He called out.
‘Why?’ You asked. It was so random, like he was suddenly struck with an idea.
‘I’ve got a pick up line for you!’ He beamed. He knew pick up lines make you cringe but he ain’t losing this chance to tell it to you, especially when the pick up line was Harry Potter related, perfect for the occasion.
‘Alright, hit me with it.’ You chuckled.
’Is this the Hogwarts Express? Because it feels like you and I are headed somewhere magical.’ He said, giving a loud chuckle after that which you followed along.
‘That was so cheesy!’ you mentioned.
It was then, you knew, you loved him, and you would do anything just to see him smile.
He has a Gryffindor scarf wrapped around his neck and he wore the robe, holding onto his own wand (which he managed to bring). He mentioned that you looked like someone that would come from Hufflepuff, so he had wrapped the Hufflepuff scarf around you.
He was so precious. The way his eyes lit up when you walked through the entrance.
Often people were intimidated by the strength he has but never shows and his height.
He knew you weren’t comfortable with dark places and occasionally he would squeeze your hand in his to assure you that he was here, and you were safe.
The boys decided to leave the both of you, to prepare for the surprise as you were going to distract Yunho as the boys set up the venue.
It was going to be a small celebration with a cake with some balloons to surprise him in front of Alnwick Castle. The company has chipped in some money together with the 8 of you, aside from Yunho in renting the place after opening hours. You knew it was hard to throw a party when they were idols, as it will only attract more attention than it normally would.
Yunho and you walked around for a bit, trying on cute costumes from the souvenir shop.
You even told him you wanted to try a butterbeer which his eyes lit up. He didn’t know you knew all these, and it literally showed him that you do care and you do listen,
And of course, you would.
You loved Yunho.
You would want to know and indulge into things he likes too.
He loves Harry Potter, even if sometimes he talks a little too much about it, you still respected him. Just like how he respects you when you went on about the things you like.
The both of you were two different people, with two different personalities and liking different things.
The key core to a relationship, isn’t about love. It’s about tolerating, caring and give and take.
Yunho was the best thing that has ever happened to you, even though there were many sleepless nights from you worrying about him and his health when he tries and pushes himself too hard before concerts.
When he calls you at night, he looked tired and despite being worn out he made time for you.
Often as he is pale, it was always noticeable when he looked tired and constantly, you’re worried for him.
Of course, in a relationship there will be fights as well but he never raises his voice and he always try to reach out after the feud. That was what you loved about him.
‘Are you okay?’ Yunho asked. You didn’t know you zoned out thinking about him.
‘Yeah, I am.’ You answered, giving him a soft smile.
‘Are you sure? You looked like you’re about to cry.’ He laughed, sipping onto his butterbeer. You’ve decided to share as you didn’t know if you’ll like it. He mentioned that you could get one for yourself if you do like it.
‘I was just thinking,’ You trailed off, looking at him as your gaze poured into his eyes.
You always loved his eyes. They were always so sparkly and bright.
‘Oh no! When you think, we always end up investing on something!’ He joked, remembering the time where you convinced him that buying a vacuum cleaner for his room would be essential, not it sits in dust and Seonghwa constantly pesters the both of you if he can use it.
‘Hahahaha, no baby, I was thinking about how much I love you.’ You said. He froze and his eyes widened.
‘Why? What’s wrong?’ You panicked.
‘No, it’s just that you never said I love you before.’ He said.
It was true. You always knew you liked him but you weren’t sure if you really did love him yet. But today, you confirmed it.
‘Oh..’ You trailed off, not knowing what to say or do.
‘I love you too.’ He smiled.
‘I love you so much.’ He said again, leaning in for a kiss. He kissed you on the lips and on the forehead. He knew you love forehead kisses. It was romantic as he was so much taller than you.
The both of you sat together, hands intertwined with the view of Alnwick Castle. It was romantic, even if it was just silence. This thumb caressing and soothing over your hand. He loved playing with your fingers.
You’ve always felt safe when you were with Yunho.
You knew,
He was your protector.
He was your happiness.
He was your everything.
He was your forever.
You had your head rested on his shoulders.
People started to leave. It was almost empty. You knew it was about time before the others will appear. Your phone vibrated, signaling that they were ready.
‘Babe, I’m going to head to the toilet for a second.’ You said, standing up. Usually Yunho would wait outside the toilet for you but you told him you’ll be alright.
You exited the restaurant and immediately saw the familiar faces. Seonghwa was holding onto the cake. The candles arranged prettily. The other boys had on party hats and Wooyoung somehow got himself tangled up with the balloons.
San had the lighter but you weren’t sure if you really trust him with it.
Seonghwa took careful steps as they approached Yunho. Yunho had no idea as his back the 8 of you.
You skipped silently towards him, leaning your head and resting it on his shoulder before planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
‘Happy birthday baby.’ You whispered before the loud booming voice of the one and only Jung Woo Young echoed through the area.
Yunho was so surprised, he almost cried. The entire time, he had his hand grasped tightly onto yours.
The boys sang the birthday song and Yunho blew out the candles.
Just as soon as he blew the candles, fireworks lit up in the sky from the castle. It was so pretty. Yunho was in awe.
And somehow, he managed to get the boys to capture a really cringey photo of the both of you kissing with the fireworks going on in the background. (It’s his new wallpaper now)
He really had no idea that this would happen.
Still starstruck, you fed a piece of cake to Yunho that Seonghwa had took the role in cutting.
He hummed in satisfaction.
‘It’s so good!’ He claimed.
‘It tastes just like how you always bake my favourite!’ He said again, making eye contact with you. Little did he know that you really made the cake. Why else were you so tired? You stayed up making him the cake the day before and had it kept in the office. Yunho didn’t know why you came over the day before the trip, he simply thought you missed him (which he, of course, missed you too).
The boys sat around, talking, laughing and eating cake.
The car ride home to their dorm was a quiet one. The boys, falling asleep as usual. Only Seonghwa and Mingi were wide awake, but both were playing on their phones.
‘Did you enjoy today?’ You asked, hands intertwined with Yunho’s.
‘I did, and you know what baby?’ He asked.
‘Yeah?’
‘They say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Well apparently, no one has ever been next to you.’ He said, before crashing his lips onto yours.

Shicca Week 2020
Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 -  Day 4
Day 5: Prompt: Video
Rating: K+
Word Count: 1354
Genre: Romance/Humor
Rebecca fidgeted with her phone as she ventured into the shopping center of Blue Garden with Happy and Shiki, to gather up things they required before they set off on another adventure. The Eden's Zero was waiting for them in the space, still apprehensive as it was a pirate ship.
"According to the map, it should be around here." Rebecca frowned as she looked around. They were on the look for The Ginga Ramen Shop, which had recently opened in Blue Garden. Her B-cuber friend, Couch Po, who ran a food channel had recommended it to her, which was famous for unique varieties of ramen noodles. Rebecca's mouth watered at the thought of it, but the reason they were headed to the shop was to shoot a video trying the Hot Ramen challenge at the shop.
If a person could finish the giant bowl of spicy hot ramen within fifteen minutes, the winner would get tickets to the famous planet Stafana, a trending holiday destination in the Sakura Cosmos, well-known for its beaches and resorts. Rebecca was confident that she wouldn't lose in an eating contest, but she wasn't a fan of spicy food. So this time, Shiki offered to be the subject of her video.
She was eager to shoot this video, as it had been a long time since she had been able to post anything on her channel, with all the adventuring they had been up to.
Shiki was extremely excited as well, to help Rebecca and her channel. She was such an amazing girl, she deserved all the love and praise in the universe. He wanted everyone to see how great she was. He wanted to see her become a big B-cuber if that was her passion. He was ready to do everything in his power to keep her happy.
Rebecca looked around again, confirming the landmarks around, "Where is it?" she mutters under her breath.
Shiki takes the phone from her hand, "Let me see that," He ponders over the map, when suddenly their attention is drawn away as a lady screams in horror.
"Kya! A thief!" the woman yells loudly, "Please somebody help! He's stolen my bag!" she points at a man who runs swiftly, while laughing at her and swinging the bag he had stolen from her.
"It's mine now!" he grins widely. He climbs onto a bike and revs up the engine, making a quick escape before anyone can act.
Shiki glares angrily at the said man, "That bastard! Rebecca, Happy, we have to-" he turns to find that she and Happy are missing. His eyes widen when he hears Rebecca bellow at the top of her voice as she grabs a random person's cycle, with Happy on her back and chases down the thief.
Shiki's jaw drops in amazement as he is already losing sight of her. Quickly activating his ether gear, he follows them.
The man relaxes a bit on his ether bike as he puts sufficient distance between himself and the shopping district. He feels a shiver run down his spine when he feels an angry glare fixed at his back. When he turns his head slightly, he jumps like a cat when he seems a woman chasing him; a monster even, with her eyes glowing and her wild blonde hair fluttering in the wind as she pedals furiously towards him in an incredible speed. "HALT YOU DAMN THIEF!" she roars at him as she aims her gun at him.
The man squeaks in fear and he increases the speed of his bike. Landing two bullets on his tire, the wheel flattens out in no time, and the bike skids and lands flat on the ground. She drops the cycle and storms to the thief, yanking him by his collar, "You punk! How dare you steal from an innocent lady!?" she grits her teeth, throwing him her scariest look.
The man cowers and apologizes profusely, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please don't kill me!"
Rebecca raises her gun to his face, "Don't you dare do this again, you hear me?" she threatens him.
The thief closes his eyes in fear and cries, "Yes ma'am!"
Just then, the woman whose bag was stolen appears with on a bike with a police constable. "That's the man, officer!" she points towards them.
Rebecca loosens her grip on the man as the police officer binds his hand with handcuffs.
"Good work, ma'am." he tips his cap towards Rebecca approvingly. "You have our gratitude."
The second constable that appeared in a police van nods, "We had been receiving a lot of complaints about this menace. Thank-you miss."
The woman takes Rebecca's hands in hers and thanks her repeatedly, "Thank you so much! I'm so incredibly grateful to you!"
The small crowd that had gathered around Rebecca bursts into an applause. She nods with a smile and blushes as the people shower her with praise, some people shaking hands with her or patting her shoulder.
"Great work, girl!"
"She frightened the crap out of that thief! Serves him right!"
"She was such a badass!"
"Thank you for ridding Blue Garden of such criminals!"
"Mama! I want to be like her!"
As the crowd disperses, Rebecca is left with a goofy grin in her face, the euphoria of the event still riding high. Shiki claps her on the back, "Yo, superstar!"
Rebecca beams at him, "Shiki! Where were you? Never mind that, did you see me!?" her smile widens to a grin. "I kicked that guy's ass!"
"Sure did!" Shiki grins at her proudly. She was seriously such an amazing girl. "You were awesome! That guy would never think of stealing twice!"
Rebecca laughs and her guns revert to Happy's form. "Happy! Good work!" she hugs her best friend.
"That was mostly you, Rebecca!" the cat bot smiles at her.
Rebecca claps her hands in realization, "Oh! I should have asked everyone to subscribe to our channel!" she laments with a frustrated sigh.
Happy consoles her eagerly. "It's alright, Rebecca! What matters is that you helped that lady and caught the burglar!"
"Wait- my B-cube! How could I forget? I must have some sick footage from that bike chase!" she fingers her collar and finds her B-cube, that usually hangs around her neck, missing. She gasps in horror, "Where's my B-cube?!"
Shiki places a hand on her shoulder before she can panic further, "Here," he hands her the tiny device. "You dropped it back at the shopping center when you chased the thief."
Rebecca's shoulders slump in dejection at her complete bad luck. She finally did something cool and she couldn't even take a bit of credit for it. Disappointment bubbles in her stomach at having missed such an opportunity.
"Hey! Don't be so down in the dumps!" Shiki exclaims as he pulls up her phone. "I recorded some of your action on this. The resolution may not be as good as-"
"Wait, you were able to take a video of me?" Rebecca asks in disbelief.
Shiki nods, and upon a tap on the screen, her phone projected a footage of her, chasing the thief, along with her shooting action and the crowd gathering around her and praising her.
Rebecca finds tears gathering at the edge of her eyes and her heart soars in excitement and happiness, "Oh my God! Shiki!" she throws her arms around his neck, and he finds himself stumbling backwards as she tackles him into a fierce hug. "Thank you, thank you so much, Shiki!"
Rebecca takes hold of one side of his face and plants a big kiss on cheek. Before Shiki can do anything, she is pulling away, her cheeks stained pink as Shiki can feel his own cheeks heating up and his heart doing weird flips.
Happy giggles softly at them and chirps happily, "Shall we get going, you two?"
"Y-Yeah!" she picks him up and starts walking away as Shiki stands there frozen on the spot, his hand brushing over his cheek.
He really loves that girl.
"Wait for me!" Shiki calls out as he runs behind them with a wide grin.

Hello! May I ask for a jjba matchup for part 4 and 5 please? I’m female, straight, german, INFJ, Aquarius. 1,59 m tall, long, blonde hair, pale skin, grey-blue eyes and wear glasse, I'm chubby. I dress comfortable, relaxed, but feminine. I wear a lot of purple, blue and rose in my closet(my fave colors) I’m reserved, introverted, really shy, anxious, low self-esteem. I don’t like crowds. I can be distant and very quiet. It’s not easy to get close to me. I’m very cautious around others.
I choose my friends carefully. Once I’m with friends I joke around a lot more. Chaotic neutral. I’m probably the weird one in my friend group, though I’m rather calm. I often daydream about many weird things and/or discuss it with my friends. They often ask me how I even come up with things like that,haha. I like to tease my friends and flirt with them playfully. I curse sometimes, but not much. I also sometimes say perverted things and nobody expects it, because I do look very innocent.
I tend to be sarcastic, ironic, kind of blunt, mixed with dark humor and kinda dirty minded. I never intend to offend or hurt anyone, but if I’m really annoyed or angry I will be brutaly honest with my opinion, which I normally prefer to keep to myself. I need time for myself to recharge. I hate to be late and hate to wait, am mostly organised. I like to watch (horror) movies, read books, listen to music (tøp, the NBHD) and game occasionally. I love cats. Thank you so much! Stay healthy!

𝐻𝑜𝓌 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝓂𝑒𝓉:  You unknowingly caught his attention, sitting there underneath a large maple tree. Several books laid scattered around your feet, and you were currently holding one up to your face. Telling his friends not to wait up for him, he walked over to you. He stood there for a few minutes, waiting for you to look over at him. However, you were too invested in your book to pay attention to your surroundings. It was only when he kneeled down beside you and tapped your shoulder that you tore your attention away from the book. “Do you wanna go catch a movie sometime?” He smiled sheepishly at you, and you accepted his offer. “Only if it’s a horror one,” you smiled shyly.
𝐹𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝒹𝒶𝓉𝑒:  Your first date was a horror movie date. “Are you ready?” He stood in your doorway. “Almost!” You were finished getting ready in less than a minute before jogging past him. “I didn’t know (f/m) was out yet!” You read the ticket he handed you. “I didn’t either, but I thought you would like it,” He rubbed his neck, enjoying your excitement. During the movie, he inched closer here and there, thinking you weren’t paying attention. And his judgment was right, you were too invested in the movie, hooked on by every event. He admired the way your gray-blue eyes lit up with excitement as you watched the large screen. 
𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒/𝒶𝒹𝓂𝒾𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊: Your love for horror movies, video games. He also loves your sense of humor and honesty. He genuinely enjoyed it whenever you spent your time in class daydreaming. The look of wistfulness and tranquility made him fall more and more in love with you. After classes, he would ask you what you were daydreaming about just to hear you rambling.
𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓇𝑒𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅 𝓃𝑜𝓌: Your relationship now is one that you’ve only dreamed of. On the weekends, you two would have sleepovers and either game together or have a horror movie marathon. During the week, you two would have small dates. A small picnic under the maple tree, going to an arcade together, or he’ll take you to the library to watch your amazement at all the books. He wouldn’t force you to join his friend group, but if you show interest in them, he’ll tell you about them beforehand and introduce you one by one. When you need to recharge, he’ll happily come over and cuddle with you, or if you want time by yourself then he will drop off some of your favorite snacks, as well as some movies/books he thinks you’ll like.

𝐻𝑜𝓌 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝓂𝑒𝓉: You and Mista first met when you had to visit Bruno for a meeting between your gangs. Your boss formally introduced you to the other group, and you said a simple hello while paying more attention to the files you were skimming through. He was instantly by your side, trying to get your attention on him instead. “How long have you been in the mafia?” He would ask you several questions, and you gave him short answers. “We should get coffee sometime!” At that moment, coffee sounded nice since you were extremely tired, having been on patrol all night. 
𝐹𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝒹𝒶𝓉𝑒: You took up Mista’s offer and the two of you went to a cafe together. “Yo!” He waved you over to the booth he was sitting at. “I got you something!” “You didn’t need to-” He slid a book that was wrapped with ribbon. “I asked Trish to wrap it for me, I’m not the best at it.” He laughed. Taking off the ribbon, you read the title. (F/b), it read. “How’d you get this?” You beamed at him. “I have my ways!” He crossed his arms and smiled back at you. You two spent the afternoon drinking coffee and talking about your interests. He nodded along, listening to your rambling, before rambling himself. 
𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒/𝒶𝒹𝓂𝒾𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊: Your love for books, your cautious nature, and your true self. He loves how you speak your mind, how ironic or perverted your jokes are, and your sarcasm. 
𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓇𝑒𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅 𝓃𝑜𝓌: On your off days, you two were always gaming together, or he would lay on the couch, flipping through a magazine while you laid on his chest, reading your own book. After patrols, you two met up for a small coffee break, whether it was late at night or early in the morning. When both of you are free, you spent the evening watching movies together while cuddling. As for the afternoons, you two walked throughout town listening to music together and stopped occasionally in book stores!
𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒫𝟧 𝐹𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓃𝒹: You would be best friends with Fugo!

Sad tales of a 20 something. -FRIENDS AND WEIRD WAYS TO FIND THEM-
Hello! Back again from a long ass time of taking a break from this site and my 2 followers who don’t even reblog my writings.
Anyway, the reason i’m back is because i actually show this blog to one of my bestestssss friends in the world and encourage me to keep going and well here i am.
So i was thinking, maybe since a friend of mine made me come back, I should write about that. So this is it, an Ode to my friends.
I have always been sort of a friendly character, at least in my mind i am. Even when i was a kid and used to cry a lot and be a bit on the side shy, I always had a lot of friends. I even dare to say I was one of the first girls in my fifth grade class yo have actual good guy friends, not only the “popular” kids that chased girls to see under their skirts. Actual good and close friends that I’m still friends with.
So, I went to the same school from elementary until high school, meaning that i had been with the same people for around 12 years, and damn i was tired of it, not from my friends, not from a lot of people to be honest, but maybe more with myself and my lack of abilities to make new friends.
That leads me to my new found weird way to make friends. It started in college when i started as a music engineer major before switching to media and film. Engineering not always equals to men, in this case i guess it did. Some may say having all guy friends is easier no drama and shit, and is true for some part, I’m still grateful of all the guys of my Music engineering program that adopted me and ate lunch with me every day, not to the rest of engineering students that are “nice guys” by mansplaining anything on the math class board before the teacher (female) started explaining, though not gonna lie i didn’t understand shit, i still didn’t want some greasy hair guy with a weird stain on his shirt,that i pray it was toothpaste, to explain me shit. I can fail this class on my own thank you very much.
My first girl friend in college was a girl on the bus that i knew my cousins was a friend with but never formally met her before and i chatted her ear off in the way home, i was so excited i forgot i could be a chatty bitch when i feel happy. When they left the bus (her and her roommate who is lovely too) I started to replay everything we talked about and was already very much regretting living because i was so cringey. I guess i wasn’t that bad, I got a Facebook friend request and became pretty close after that.
First friend I made in my new major program (who i made before switching because of mutual clases) was a girl that i always saw in my favorite class, “Signs, symbols and significances” she was funny, very friendly and clearly friends with at least three quarters of the class. I decided that was my next mission, i left my guy friends side after an exam in our common class and went literally running towards her and another girl (amazing person too) I asked them in the most awkward way how the exam was for them and even if they thought i was weird they didn’t show it and were so nice with me.
I made a mistake though, I told the girl i had a mission on (to be close to) she seemed familiar outside class and she said i did too but we couldn’t remember where from. Until I realized she was the girl that i met in my first day of school in math class and sat next to her. That, until i didn’t hear my name while checking the list and was told that wasn’t the math class, everyone laughed i stand up and trip and yell “puta madre” so hard everyone laughed again. I then found out that story was so funny to her she actually used it as an ice breaker when meeting new people and started introducing me as the “puta madre” to everyone. At least she got me a lot of new friends, and besides having passed more than 5 years, she still reminds me of it and she still is one of my closest friends.
Another story, I was an exchange student and knew nothing about the culture (only basics, didn’t want to be rude), the language or anyone in this new country. I was so lost I literally was trying hookup apps to meet friends (never works tho, at least on me). It was my second day in Seoul and saw there was a kpop concert of one of the three groups I actually knew and my baby brother was a fan of, i checked and there were some tickets left, bought them, put on a pretty dress and left. Going to a concert alone is not that bad, going to a concert alone in a country you have been for 5 minutes and also understand shit, that is a fucking nightmare.
I met some friendly girls from USA that helped me out to figure the shit out in the venue, they told me they were living in Korea for like 5 years and still couldn’t even read, which i thought wow kinda disrespectful but anyway i wasn’t going to let go of anyone friendly anytime soon. Met some other girls that came to the country only for the concert which wow commitment. And then I was left alone again when taking the seats (standing spots to be exact). The concert was cool even if I didn’t understand shit and I’m 87% sure I even caught eyes with some of the guys in the group a few times. The concert ended and I wish I could say I captivated one of the kpop guys and that is my next friend meeting story but, nope is not and honestly i wouldn’t change it for any of the hot men that were on stage.
Fast forward the first day of school, i was lost and ask a girl for a classroom, she was very nice and told me where it was but that the class was in like 30 more minutes. We made small talk and i sat on a bench in the opposite way of her. The girl next to her was saying she had this next class that sounded kinda familiar, and I realized it was my same class so I told her to go together. Once inside the classroom I saw her phone and she had a familiar face as her screensaver, it clicked, it was one of the guys of the concert! I asked her and she said it was him and that she went to the concert too and we decided to had lunch together. From that day on we became pretty much inseparables, until she got the sleaziest guy in the world as a boyfriend but we don’t talk about shit in my safe space so that is a story for another day. Besides that terrible guy and his best friend who dated me only to dumped me weeks later to play LOL 24/7, I got my baby, my mijita who i love so very much and again, wouldn’t change a bit.
Lastly in this post, not in life nor in place of my heart, is a little blessing (literally) that came to me from heaven! She didn’t even know this, but a semester before she was having her abroad year in my country I was in one my deepest holes in my life. My mind was empty but my eyes always filled with sad tears. That semester before, nothing major changed in routine, in my family, in my life as in general. But somehow it did in my brain, my heart was feeling agitated for no reason, my palms were sweaty and shaking all the time and my brain was as it was shut down. I got the big D, and not as in a big nice dick getting me fucked, but another type of fucked nonetheless. Depression, the kind of weird illness that can’t be seen but oh dude it can be felt, and felt is all i did, i felt sadness, loneliness even with a full house and a full line of friends ready to help me. Sometimes shit just happens.
Took a semester off and when I came back I decided to faked it until i made it, and it was going great. I did cry back at home a few times a week but i could hold it during classes or in front of people, great advance. I decided to focus in what made feel best, dressing in my favorite shit and letting everyone out of my arts and humanities department have a nice view of it. And then I see her, weird to say i still remember how cool she looked, tall as fuck, wearing all black, shaved head and what i got to find out were her trusty black vans. I got obsessed with her fashion style and decided my next mission, be friends with her, or at least for her to acknowledge my presence. I saw her talking to a close friend (another great meet cute story for another day) so i decided it was my moment, I said hi and was introduced to her, we chatted a few minutes and got along pretty well. Her amazing style and bad ass british accent made me feel i was in bad rom-com where we were both straight and platonically soulmates. I saw her again outside the bathroom while i was waiting some friends, we talked for an hour, she invited me to a party and we had dinner first (so romantic, I know) at dinner I thought it was going to be awkward until we both realized our mutual love for SZA and Idris Elba. We never stopped talking after that, she even went back to my hometown for 2 weeks with me, where all my family loved her and strangers treated her like a celebrity. She calls my parents tíos and we talk as much as we can now that she is back at her country.
I miss her everyday and there is not a minute I am not grateful i met her.
These are some of the stories of how I met some of my friends, my closest ones and those that are still with me in every step I take. I can tell you one million more ways of how i met friends i love so dearly, but that is for some other day my hands aren’t hurting for writing only with my thumbs in my phone.
And what I care and love most about all these, is that I would never want to change being the weird girl that catches a hunch and runs towards people that will mean the world for.
FRIENDS I LOVE YOU ALL.

King of Prism All Stars Prism Show Best 10! Initial thoughts/summary/review
Tumblr media
So I’m going to be splitting this post into several sections with space in between to make it easier for people maybe to skip over spoilers they don’t want to read. 
Table of contents is as below: 1.) Day 1 Greeting Show Live Viewing brief event report 2.) Weekly theatrical video (week 1)  3.)1-10 Ranking and my personal thoughts 4.) New content (intro, ending, in-betweens, etc) 5.) Shin’s new show
1.) Day 1 Greeting Show Live Viewing brief event report
They had a live viewing for one of the greeting shows in Toyko. It was attended by Junta Terashima (Shin), Masashi Igarashi (Minato), and Takuma Nagatsuka (Leo). 
The day 1 greeting shows are always kinda awkward. Especially if it’s a live viewing and ESPECIALLY if it’s before the show because they aren’t allowed to give spoilers. 
Masashi Igarashi seemed even MORE pumped and emotional than usual. You could tell he really wanted to talk about Minato making it into the ranking, which should be a surprise for no one because he was really high in the preliminary ranking, but he still wasn’t allowed to talk about it. 
So he had to like dance all around it with wide hand gestures about how.... these ten shows.... and how amazing it was...... that these particular shows...... hahah ahhh man you could tell it was torture for him and torture to watch. 
Naganyan said that if by chance Leo made it in, he wanted us all to shout IIZE! for him. 
At one point the showed off kanji they wrote to symbolize the new year (a Japanese tradition). Junta said he wrote 変 I think (the first kanji in “change” but it also means strange) but he didn’t have the board with him for some reason so I wonder if he messed it up backstage and they didn’t have another one? Haha. Naganyan wrote 華 (flower). Masashi wrote 手 (hand) and he talked about how hands can symbolize a lot of things, like holding hands and “taking that first step” but then he was like “wait that’s feet....” And it was said in a way where it was difficult to tell if he only just realized that now or not. Judging from Junta and Naganyan’s reactions maybe it wasn’t on purpose hahaha. But then he doubled down on it, and as he was explaining why hands are significant he kept forcefully grabbing Junta’s hand and being like “See? Don’t you feel something??” while Junta was just kinda looking at him like “ummm”. 
I love these dorks so much they’re my favorite. EVERY SINGLE TIME I see them at an event together, Masashi Igarashi just goes on this HUGE rant about something and Junta Terashima is like “...........................................what?” (And Takuma Nagatsuka, if he is there, is like slowly inching away from them.)
I CAN’T WAIT to see them for real in Nagoya next weekend AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 
2.) Weekly theatrical video (week 1)
So King of Prism movies always have rotating intro or ending videos exclusive to the theater. (The first movie had the characters appealing to be in the Prism King Cup, Pride the Hero had the regional dramas, and SSS had shorts after the credits.) Best 10 has “Prism Star Interviews”. Basically, you hear audio of one character interviewing another which plays to a static image of the characters. 
Week 1 had Shin interviewing Hiro, Yu interviewing Kouji, and Taiga interviewing Kazuki. It was fairly low key. Hiro talked about getting his driver’s license, Kouji talked about sending weird food photos to Minato from abroad, and while Taiga was interviewing Kazuki someone (implied to be Kakeru) slipped him the question “Which do you prefer, tigers or dragons?” After going back and forth for a while, Kazuki ultimately says he likes them both because they are both strong. Taiga is not too happy about this. 
Something to note about the intro videos is this time is they have four weeks’ worth planned, but there are only three courses of the movie. This means the course and intro video are not necessarily connected and as time goes on it will get out of sync and you won’t be sure which intro video you’ll see. I feel like this was probably done on purpose. After a while we never knew what intro videos we would get for the first movie and it was kinda exciting. 
3.) 1-10 Ranking and my personal thoughts
10.) Yu / Shiny Stellar (SSS) 9.) Taiga / Fly in the sky  (SSS) 8.) Shin/Shine / Platonic Sword  (SSS) 7.) Yukinojo / Hyakkaryouran   (SSS) 6.) Leo / Twinkle Twinkle  (SSS) 5.) Kazuki / Freedom (Thunder Storm ver.) (Pride the Hero) 4.) Minato / Sailing  (SSS) 3.) Kakeru / Orange Flamingo  (SSS) 2.) Shiny 7 Stars [SePTENTRION] / Brilliant Oath  (SSS) 1.) Hiro / pride (Prism King ver.) (Pride the Hero)
So I think the voting for this was actually pretty fair. Basically, people who bought the SSS soundtrack CD got a code which could be used to vote only once. So although it would technically be possible to buy hundreds of CDs to try and sway the vote, I kiiiinda doubt that happened? It’s not like event tickets.
First of all, I was surprised at how low Taiga ranked considering he’s always been the most popular SePTENTRION member. But then again, although I really like him too, there are several SePTENTRION member shows I would have voted for before him. I guess that’s because I would assume everyone else would vote for Taiga so he doesn’t need my help? So maybe everyone else thought that way too that’s what happened. 
I’m also shocked at how high Leo is. He beat Yukinojo. HE BEAT TAIGA. After his ranking was announced the first time I actually started crying during his performance just because I hadn’t seen it in a while, and also I had literally JUST finished translating this.... so I was just like..... MY SONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN IM SO PROUD OF YOU (....dammit I forgot to yell IIZE. MY SONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN)
Platonic Sword is at 8 which is OK sure. But you know, to be honest, although I was so distressed by this show at first I’m actually kinda diggin’ it now that I’m used to it because it’s a whole lot easier to enjoy out of context (I don’t have to see Shin crying every time). But it’s just really weird to have THAT smacked right there it at number 8, right in the middle-ish. This supposedly 0 karat show. 
0 karats my ass. 
AND MINATO AT NUMBER 4 AHHHHHHHHHHHH 
I can’t believe it. After all this time. He finally FINALLY got the recognition he deserves. The only SePTENTION member who ranked higher than him is Kakeru and I have no complaints about that because I definitely agree Kakeru deserves that number 3 spot. (You know, I wonder if this means Kakeru actually surpassed Taiga at some point to be the most popular SePTENTION boy? I’m just so used to it being Taiga, but..)
Hiro at number 1 feels right. I’m happy with it. It would be the same in-universe too. (Actually in-universe it would be like ALL Over the Rainbow but y’know.)
It’s really crazy how all of SePTENTION made it in (if you count Platonic Sword for Shin, although they did credit it as Shin/Shine which was nice). I think that’s part of what Masashi Igarashi was trying to say at the theater greeting: To think that the new cast could have come this far. To think that exactly four years ago I left the theater after seeing the first movie for the first time, and I couldn’t even remember over half their names... and look where they are now!!
Although I am certainly not unhappy with the results, and I know the SSS shows are... objectively better, it did make me a little sad that nothing made it in from the first movie at all though. Because those shows had a bigger emotional impact on me overall. I don’t regret using my vote for Minato, because I feel better having contributed to him getting the recognition he deserved than I would have if I had voted for something that didn’t stand a chance. But at the same time, Shin’s Over the Sunshine at the end of the first movie is probably the most important prism show to me, in actuality. 
But they are doing different courses to show the prism shows that didn’t make it in. The first week they are showing a montage of all of Over the Rainbow’s shows. Watching them back-to-back with the SSS shows in this movie really highlighted how old they look in comparison, especially the Hiro/Kazuki Boy Meets Girl. Back when the only texture they used was for Hiro’s stomach...
But anyway, the credits revealed the other courses will show Alexander, Joji, The Shuffle, and Louis’ shows. It is also rather sad that none of the Schwarz Rose boys made it in. Especially since Alec is so popular! I wonder if Alec fangirls didn’t vote for Survival Dance in protest since Alexander has never gotten an original song. I felt the saddest about Louis though... because Shota Aoi and his voice and...... (C.... Can I just slip in the back room, cut out Platonic Sword, and edit in I know Shangri La?)
PS. I think the shows were pretty close to the same versions we saw originally. One notable change is that they added in some subtitles for cheering. Specifically “SHISHO!!!” in Yukinojo’s show and “YO! Daddy I did it!” in Kakeru’s. So I guess we were originally supposed to yell that. (Oops.) As I hoped it would be, Brilliant Oath was also stitched together without that long break in the middle, so in this version it just looks like SePTENTRION created the goddess on their own with their prism jump. But hey! It’s nice to have a complete version. Also Platonic Sword was missing the Prism Axel. (Maybe that’s another reason I could enjoy it this time around.)
As is tradition, the credits are set to a new SePTENTRION song. This one is called Love Gravity.
4.) New content (intro, ending, in-betweens, etc)
There are two new, very brief, traditionally animated segments. The first one is a cold open of SePTENTRION as power rangers fighting Alexander. What makes this even more hilarious is it basically starts right where the original Prism Show Best 10 left off. They even used the exact same background I think!? Some of the boys’ ranger costumes are... interesting... Kakeru’s (and I’m afraid this won’t translate that well to English so I might as well explain it now) is missing the entire backside. The joke is about the contrast between his two sides (business and party: lit his front vs back in Japanese). I think this segment also has the first ever anime/movie reference to Alexander being weak to Leo. (It’s referenced in Prism Rush all the time.)
The second new traditionally animated segment is at the end, and it involves SePTENTRON in the bath discussing different genres of dramas or movies they could do now that their careers have taken off. I’m pretty sure it’s a metaphor for “So much has happened in King of Prism, what now?” After all the discussion of different genres, Shin starts to get worried it means they won’t do prism shows together anymore. But they all agree that of course they will. 
Then there are the Dorachi and Torachi segments. They are simplified and look as though they were animated in flash. In addition to counting down the Best 10, Dorachi and Torachi also have two language teaching sessions. First Dorachi teaches us some “useful” English phrases, i.e. Alexander’s “Go to hell!” etc. Then Torachi teaches us Aomori dialect. What makes this sequence so hilarious is how seriously they take it. Like, as seriously as you could imagine a chibi tiger and chibi dragon teaching you something would be. The Aomori dialect was pretty challenging too, and Torachi actually broke down the sentences, pointing out where the intonation was different and like.... IT WAS ACTUALLY EDUCATIONAL. LIKE..... I ACTUALLY LEARNED SOMETHING. The first two sentences we practiced in Aomori dialect were Taiga’s dad asking him if he thinks his grades can get him into high school, and that random background character saying the nebuta floats won’t be ready in time. But then we got a completely new Taiga line of him confessing to someone which needless to say was NOT in the show BUT...... the background was clearly the scene from the end of episode 3 when Taiga was trying to tell Kazuki something. Pfff. 
There is also a longish short anime during the intermission done in the same style. Torachi finds Dorachi out of power, and the two get lost together trying to find a power source to charge him. Meanwhile Taiga and Alexander don’t come looking for them until after dark because they are too busy fighting. Moral of the story: Dorachi and Torachi are secret BFFs and Alexander and Taiga are terrible parents.  
5.) Shin’s new show
My...... heart............................... my heart felt so full............. nnnghghhgphhhh.........
The context is that Shin is finally performing the song Yu wrote him in the costume Leo made for him at the Rose Party. So it’s taking place chronologically after SSS. 
Daisuki Refrain is a very heavy audience participation song. Perhaps the most intended participation in a King of Prism song we have had so far? There is a beat to clap to, callouts, and even a dance in the middle and it’s pretty clear even during your first viewing what you’re supposed to be doing at all times. 
Also, as I guessed from seeing Junta Terashima perform at the CD release event, Shin’s hat is a huge part of his choreography. What I did not guess is that it’s also a magic hat that grows and you can ride on it if it fills up with prism sparkle hahahah.
Ahhh man.............
....Okay. If you have seen it, I know you’re probably expecting me to talk about that.... one part...... So. I will. Okay. Here goes. 
At one point in his performance, Shin partially obscures his right eye while his left eye shines red. W......Why is that in there WH--okay I kinda know why. I think Shin has been gaining a lot of popularity recently since the end of SSS specifically because of Platonic Sword, and because he has that edge now. So although they gave him a happy, fluffy, traditional Shin show, they still put in a little fanservice for the fans who like the edge. A little reminder that he’s still in there. While I’m like.... YOU... YOU STAY IN THERE. IM WATCHING YOU. Ahahaha. 
One thing though, I could have sworn in the preview showing that Shin’s right eye (the one which would be yellow if he was Shine) was completely obscured.  But when I saw it again on the premiere day, I could see it was only partially obscured and it was clearly the normal red. So. Surely I was just so surprised that they did that in the first place that I just didn’t fully register it. It’s not like they changed it in between the preview and the premiere, right..... RIGHT?
Right. 
Okay moving on sorry that was too long. Haha seriously that scene is like 2 seconds and Shin’s show is SO CUTE AND SO GOOD. I really REALLY did like it and I’ve been singing the song all day. 
And his new prism jump......................
I........
Nnngfdnnnphhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I really don’t want to spoil itttttttttt..... while I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you just wait and experience it for yourself firsthand like I did, at the same time.... not gonna lie... I also really want to talk about it. Because Shin. So I’m gonna end this post here but also write about it at the end anyway. So if you absolutely must know. It’s down there. 
But. 
Thanks for reading! READY SPARKING!
<3
.........
...................
..............................
.............
.....
...........
.............................
............
......
Okay so Shin’s new prism jump. It’s called Mugen Hug Together.
And it’s basically. 
A reverse Mugen Hug. 
So Shin Mugen Hugs the crowd, but then the crowd reflects it back to him and he’s like AAAAUUUGH and, of course, it takes all his clothes off. 
(And then there’s like an uncomfortably long black screen. Where it’s like.... did we kill Shin?)
(Did we kill him? With our love?)
(We did not.)
(I guess he needed time to get his clothes back on.)
Shin has one of his speeches where he says he’s embarrassed about how he wanted us to feel good but the opposite happened. Then the second part of the jump starts (or I guess it may technically be a second jump), part of which can be seen in the trailer. The part where you take Shin’s hand and he gets wings. Then he takes you around the world. 
The end.

looking for something that’ll (never) come 5/6
Blaine Anderson-Chang knows that his crush on his brother’s best friend, straight football star Kurt Hummel, is foolhardy. But every now and then Kurt gives him a look and Blaine can’t help but wonder.
we’re almost at the end here, everyone!! hope you enjoy this chapter, and see you soon for the finale!! :)
The weekend passes by in a blur.
His Saturday is spent counting down the minutes until his date with Kurt, and then trying his best to keep it cool during said date.
He thinks he does pretty well, to be honest. He doesn’t squeal when Kurt opens the door to the passenger seat of his car to him. He doesn’t say anything stupid on the ride to the movie theater. He doesn’t swoon when Kurt insists on paying not only for the movie tickets, but for the popcorn as well. And he doesn’t completely melt into a puddle when Kurt links their fingers halfway through the movie.
Dinner after is at Breadstix, which Blaine is kind of surprised by. He doesn’t comment on it, though, and he’s glad he doesn’t because at the end of the day nothing really happens.
That’s not to say that they don’t see people they know. They do. It’s Breadstix on a Saturday night, after all, so it’s obviously crawling with McKinley kids. But nobody seems to find it strange that Kurt and Blaine are there together. Or, if they do, they don’t comment on it at all.
 So, either they’re being incredibly subtle, or everybody is just way more chill and open-minded than Blaine thought. After all, nobody’s ever really given him any trouble since he came out, so it kind of makes sense.
Still. He figured that more people would care about the most popular guy in school suddenly going out on a date with a guy.
But, again. Maybe they were just very subtle.
Kurt drops him off after dinner, hurrying to the other side of the car with a whispered, “Don’t move,” so that he can open the door for him again. Then, once Blaine is out of the car, he pushes him up against it and kisses the breath out of him.
He leaves him with a wink and a, “See you tomorrow Mini AC,” that Blaine overthinks all night.
Sunday morning is spent playing games with his moms and Mike and trying not to think about his date with Kurt. Then he does some homework and tries not to think about his date with Kurt some more.
As implied, Kurt rolls around just before dinner time to watch some football game. Mike takes the recliner and Kurt sprawls on the couch.
Unable to stay away, Blaine finds himself falling onto the couch next to Kurt. Without hesitation, Kurt stretches out his legs until his feet are resting heavily on Blaine’s lap. He sends him a wink, and Blaine blushes.
“Ew, Kurt, come on,” Mike says, and Blaine looks up at him, alarmed. “Don’t put your nasty ass feet on my brother’s pants.”
Kurt scowls at him. “Who are you to call my feet nasty, AC?”
Mike stares at him, deadpan. “I’m the guy whose face you shove those feet into almost every single day after football practice, asshole.”
Kurt’s scowl turns into a smirk, and he chuckles, shaking his head to himself. “Oh, yeah.” Still, his feet don’t move.
Mike turns to Blaine and says, “You don’t have to put up with that, you know. Just shove him off.”
Blaine shrugs and, still blushing, says, “I don’t mind.”
“Exactly, he doesn’t mind, so buzz off.” Kurt flips Mike off, which Mike responds to in kind. He then shoots Blaine a seriously, you don’t have to put up with that look before turning back to the TV.
Kurt grins at Blaine when Mike has turned away, winking again, and Blaine is pretty sure that his blush isn’t going to leave his face for the rest of the evening.
At least twenty minutes pass in silence, Kurt’s feet relaxed in Blaine’s lap and Blaine doing everything in his power not to bring up a hand to massage them gently. Then, Blaine’s phone buzzes in his back pocket, and he pulls it out, causing him to shift a little and force Kurt to move his feet.
He bites down on his bottom lip when he sees that the text is from Sebastian, reminding him that he had an awesome time and he really wants to see Blaine again. Another text comes in just as he finishes reading the first, asking if he’s free to meet up sometime during the week, or if he’s going to have to wait until the next weekend to see him.
Blaine frowns. He’d managed to hold Sebastian off for this weekend by claiming he’d be doing a lot of things with his family because of the big game, but now he knows he needs to come clean and admit to Sebastian that he can’t see him anymore.
Kurt scoots over until he’s looking over Blaine’s shoulder and immediately groans. “Oh, this motherfucker,” he says. “Here,” he plucks Blaine’s phone out of his hands with ease. “I’ll take care of this for you.”
“Kurt, wait,” Blaine tries to grab his phone back as Kurt starts to type furiously, nose wrinkled in disgust. Kurt manages to hold him off, though, until he’s finished typing whatever it is. He looks over at Blaine, who holds his hand out and says, “Seriously, Kurt, don’t.”
Kurt stares at him for a second, then rolls his eyes and tosses the phone back to Blaine. “Just trying to help you there, man.”
Blaine fumbles with the phone for a moment, then holds it up and breathes a sigh of relief when he sees that Kurt didn’t send the text yet.
He reads over it quickly, and his blush is definitely back, because sitting in the text box are the words Sorry, I don’t think my boyfriend would like it if we saw each other again.
Blaine looks up at Kurt with wide eyes. He mouths, “Boyfriend?”
Kurt just shrugs in response, as though he hasn’t just made Blaine’s entire life with that single word.
Blaine smiles to himself and, heart warm in his chest, hits send.
**
By the time Monday rolls around, Blaine feels like he’s on cloud nine. Kurt stayed for dinner, where he thoroughly charmed Blaine’s moms (though he always did). When he left, Momma J casually said, “That Kurt Hummel is a good egg. I like him.”
Momma P nodded along and said, “He’s a sweet kid.”
Blaine, of course, instantly texted Kurt telling him that his moms loved him, which evolved into a night-long texting session that only ended at almost two in the morning, when Blaine insisted that they had to get some sleep before school the next day.
Since the season is officially over, Kurt and Mike no longer have their morning practice, and so when Kurt swings by to pick Mike up, Blaine comes out with him.
Mike heads straight to the passenger seat, but Kurt rolls the window down, shaking his head. “No way, AC. Mini AC goes up front.”
Both Mike and Blaine pause. Mike glances at Blaine, frowning, then looks back at Kurt. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, jeez. I want the cuter AC up here with me.”
Mike just keeps frowning, but Blaine smiles widely and bounds up to Kurt’s car, slipping into the front seat happily. Mike gets into the back, sliding into the middle seat, then leans forward and asks, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Kurt covers Mike’s face with his hand and pushes him back. “Put your seatbelt on, come on.”
Blaine puts his seatbelt on, too, and grins at Kurt, who sends him another of those secret winks that turn his knees to jelly.
The entire ride to school, Blaine can’t stop thinking about the fact that he’s in the front seat of Kurt’s car. Of how many times he’d watched Kurt roll up to his and Mike’s house with his current girlfriend in the front and wondered what it would feel like to be that girl. To have Mike complain about being relegated to the backseat because Kurt clearly liked the girl more than him. To get to glance over every few minutes and see Kurt already watching, entirely smitten.
Now he knows. And it feels fucking fantastic.
When they get to school and hop out of the car, Mike immediately grabs onto Blaine’s wrist and pulls him close. “Seriously, dude,” he says, glancing over at Kurt, who is waiting for them. “What the hell is going on?”
Blaine just shrugs, not wanting to say more than Kurt might be ready for people to hear. “You heard him. I’m the cuter Anderson-Chang.”
He wriggles his hand out of Mike’s grasp and walks over to Kurt, who immediately starts walking towards the school, leaving Mike standing by the car and shouting, “What the hell are you even talking about?”
**
Kurt walks Blaine to his locker, and briefly wraps an arm around his waist and gives it a quick squeeze. “See you at lunch?” he asks, grinning as his hand falls away, leaving warmth in its wake.
“Yeah,” Blaine says, grinning right back. Kurt nods, then stares at Blaine, biting down on his bottom lip. After the moments hesitation, he nods again and turns to walk to his own locker.
Almost immediately, Tina runs up to him.
“You two seem cozy,” she says, wiggling her eyebrows.
Blaine laughs at that, turning to open his locker as he murmurs, “Oh, you have no idea.”
**
When lunch time comes, Blaine feels like he’s ready to buzz out of his skin with the excitement of it. Just to get to sit next to Kurt, knowing that they’re boyfriends, is so much more than he ever thought he would get. He doesn’t even care that he can’t tell anybody yet.
Well, he cares a little, but that’s just because Tina has been bothering him about it non-stop all day long.
“Blaine, come on,” she says as they walk into the cafeteria. “You always tell me everything.”
“I do not,” Blaine says, flushing at the lie, because yeah, he totally does. She glares at him and he just shrugs. “Look, really Tina, I don’t know what you want me to say. There’s nothing—”
The sound of two lunch trays banging together rings out throughout the cafeteria. Blaine and Tina both turn toward the sound, just like everyone else, and find Kurt standing on top of the table where the football team and cheerleaders always sit.
“Yo, everybody,” he says, voice loud and commanding. Blaine can’t help the lovesick smile that takes over his face, which is embarrassing considering Kurt is literally just talking. “I have a very important announcement, so listen the fuck up.”
Amazingly, everybody does. The cafeteria falls into almost complete silence, all eyes on Kurt.
“Great, thanks,” he says. “So, just wanted to let everyone know that I’m bisexual.”
Blaine’s jaw drops, eyes widening. Holy shit. Did he really just—
“And the reason I’m telling everyone is so that nobody freaks out,” he turns as he’s talking, until he’s looking straight at Blaine, face splitting into a huge grin, “when I take my boyfriend, Blaine Anderson-Chang, to prom next week.”
A bit of chatter rises up when Kurt hops off the table and starts to head in Blaine’s direction. Some people are glancing their way, giggling and whispering, but it seems like most people don’t really care about what’s going on. Blaine smile continues growing as Kurt gets closer, until Kurt is right in front of him, stopping less than a foot away.
“I mean,” he says, shrugging a little. “If you want to, that is.”
Blaine’s brain definitely isn’t working, because all he can say is, “Want to what?”
Kurt chuckles, then reaches out and takes Blaine’s hand. “Prom? With me?”
Blaine’s eyes widen and he nods immediately. “Oh. Yes, definitely. Please.”
Kurt grins again, then says, “Excellent,” before pulling Blaine in for a long, slow kiss.
Blaine is so caught up in the kiss and the declaration and everything that he almost jumps in surprise when, a moment after their kiss has broken, Tina says, “Oh yeah. Definitely nothing going on here.”

James McVey Imagine
I gabbed my bag and keys before making my way out of my flat and then out of the building into the streets on the cold British night. I pulled my coat tighter around me as I made my way to the train station. Although it was cold It was a nice, clear, stars shining bright kind of night. It was only 8pm and my train doesn't leave until 9:30 so I had plenty of time so I took a nice, peaceful walk to the train station which was only a ten minute walk from where I lived.
I set off, my suitcase trailing behind me, my handbag hung by over my shoulder and my sneaker treading along the floor. I hummed along a song I had stuck in my head, 5 colours in her hair by Mcfly.
I was about fine minutes away from the station when I heard someone call my name. I turned around only to find nobody there so I carried on walking.
It was a few seconds later when I heard my name again. I turned around and this time I saw my Ex boyfriend Danny. I turned away and tried to ignore him but he grabbed a hold of my wrist.
"Where you going Y/N?" He asked. I blanked him and tried to pull away only for him to pull back and his hand was suddenly across my cheek.
I felt tears fill my eyes as the sting on my cheek worsened as he forced my too look at him.
"I asked you a question bitch!" He growled as he pushed me down.
I stumbled to get back up but he grabbed my arm and pulled me close. He grabbed my bag and hit me again.
I stood up and, make a grab for my bag but he only laughed as I fell forward. He grabbed me and threw my bag at his friend as he pulled me close and kissed, hard. I lifted my knee to make contact with his "area" and I ran, not worrying about my bags as I legged it.
I ran into a near by car park that was filled with buses and I ran over to that first bus I was and began banging at the door, calling for help until the doors opened. I fell to the floor, sick and panicked over what happened, when I heard someone speak. I turned to see James McVey of The Vamps
"Hey, are you OK?" He asked I nodded and looked around me, fear taking over.
"I..I..I was attacked by my Ex and his friends and I..." I broke down and he quickly moving to help me stand.
"Okay, come on in." He offered and I nodded, following him in and sitting at the table, James explained to the boys what was going on and they ll nodded understanding.
"OK, well, Brad will make you some tea, Con, go find Joe and Tris..."
"I'll call the police." Tristan interrupted grabbing his phone and walking out of the bus.
"I'll sit here with you if that's OK?" James smiled sitting across from me. I nodded and smiled at him.
"Sure, I don't mind" I smiled sadly.
"Here, you can borrow my jacket, you look freezing." He said as he pulled his hoodie off of himself and wrapped it around me.
"Thanks." I smiled again. I heard the door of the bus open and I walked another man, I was assuming he was Joe and my assumptions was confirmed when he introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Joe, do you want to tell me what happened?" He asked as he sat down next to me.
"Sure, well, I was on my way yo the train station to get the train to my parents house in Blackpool, I'm taking my little sister to a concert Friday night, your concert actually. Anyway I was on my way to the station when I was jumped by my EX and his friends. They took my bag and case that has everything in it, my keys, my phone, my money and ticket for the train." I told them
"The police are on the way." Conor told us entering the room again.
Here, your tea." Brad smiled softly at me as he handed me to cup. I let out a sigh as I took a sip, trying to keep calm. Then I remembered something.
"OH, Crap...my sisters gonna kill me" I blurted out.
"What's up?" James asked concerned.
"The tickets to the show, they were in the bag...she's gonna hate me."
Y/N, you'll be fine." James tried to reassure me.
"No, you don't understand, Danny, my EX used to be really controlling. I missed Christmas because of him and it broke mt sisters heart that I wasn't there. I got her the tickets as a way to say sorry and I promised her the best Christmas present I could find, there was at least £300 in that bag for band merch and stuff oh god, I'm gonna have to disappoint her again. Oh God, I'm the worst sister ever." I cried.
"Hey, it's OK, listen, We can sort out the tickets the show and we can give your sister a bag of merch." Joe smiled at me. "In fact, I'll get the boys to sign a birthday card for her." He offered.
"You don't have to do that, I can handle her." I smiled at him.
"No it's fine and I'll tell you what. After you've spoken to the police, you can hitch a ride with us. Like you said, we've got a show in Blackpool anyways so we'll get you to Blackpool safe." James offered.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Absolutely, we don't leave until tomorrow though." Brad added.
"It's OK, ill call my sister and...oh right, no phone." I sighed.
"You could go back to your place after the police have been, call your mum and grab some clothes then you can come back to the bus." Tristan told me.
"OK, sure." I nodded,
"Great, I'll sort you out a car for you to go home and back."
"Can someone come with me, I don't wanna go alone?" I asked,
"I'll go with her!" James spoke us and Joe nodded
"OK, fine, but you'll have an hour, OK?" He informed us and James and I nodded.
I jumped a little when I heard a knock,
"Guys there are some policemen here." A voice shouted from outside the bus. Joe stood and opened the doors and the boys all followed
"We'll leave you here to speak to the police alone and we'll be back as soon as they leave." James told me and I nodded.
An hour later the police had left and James and I were at my home, I packed some clothes in a bag and then grabbed my landline and dialled my mums number.
"Hello?"
"Hi, mum it's me."
"Y/N what's wrong, why are you calling me on you're landline? Wheres your phone." my mum asked.
"Something happened with Danny..." I began but was cut off by my mother,
"I know it, you're not coming, you do this every time." She yelled at me.
"Mum, I'm still coming, Danny and his friends...."
"I don't want to hear it!" She snapped at me, cutting me off. "This is exactly like Christmas and..."
"Mum, on Christmas day I was laid in a hospital, barely able to open my eyes." I yelled at her
"Yes, well, you dated that woman beater, you should face the....."
"We had broken up by then, you know what I'm not doing this again, I have to go. see you tomorrow." I sighed as I hung up. I spotted James leaning against the door frame.
"Sorry 'bout that, my mum seems to think everything is my fault." I smiled apologetically.
"Don't worry about it, it's not your fault though, he's a bad person." He smiled softly.
"I know." I nodded.
"Come on, let's go, I urm, need to stop at a shop, I gotta get my sister another Birthday card." I smiled grabbing my bag.
"Come then."
We headed back to the car and stopped at a shop where I picked up a birthday card, James picked one up and told me it was for the boys to sigh then we headed back to the Bus.
"So what's your sisters name?" James asked as we sat in the car.
"Amy." I told him.
"Cool, Amy is lucky to have a sister like you." He smiled.
"Yeah, I guess." I laughed back.
"OK, well, you can take my bunk tonight, I'll sleep on the couch." He offered.
"Thanks but I doubt I'll sleep much tonight anyway."
"Well, I'll stay with you until you do." James smiled as we pulled up at the bus.
"Thanks." I grinned.
*The next morning*
The bus left the car park the next morning while I was sleeping so when I woke up I saw the a motor way flash by the window as I sat up from the couch and looked outside. I jumped when I heard a voice call my name and I smiled when I saw Joe stood by the door.
"We'll be arriving in a hour and I need your address, the boys are wanting to drop you off at home and will not take no as an answer." He laughed, handing be a cup filled with coffee. I thanked him and gave him my address. He nodded and walked off, the boys walking in soon after.
"Hey, how are you guys?" I asked sitting up taking a sip of my coffee.
"We should be asking you that." Brad smiled sitting by me, James on my other side handing be a plate with a bacon sandwich on it.
"Yeah, you had a hell of a night, how are you?" James smiled.
"Oh, I'm fine. honestly, it's not the first time its happened, if fact I've been through worse." I sighed, I looked at the boys and they all smiled a sad smile before Connor turned the TV on, Harry Potter filling the room. My attention was taken away from the boys as I turned my attention to the TV. I love Harry Potter, the movies and the books.
"You're a fan of Harry Potter then?" James whispered in my ear, I nodded and smiled up at him.
"Seen all the film, read all the books and for my 16th my mum and dad took my sister and I to Harry Potter world, she bought me a load of stuff from there and she told me that I was crazy when I refused to wear a gryffindor hoodie because I wanted Hufflepuff instead." I told him, smiling at my memory before my smile fell. "A year later I met Danny and he set it on fire a year or so after we met. burned all my Harry Potter stuff because he said it was kids stuff." I told him, not being able to stop confessing about my past.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll tell you what, your next birthday you're 21 right?" He asked and I nodded. "Well, for your 21st, I'll take you to Universal studios where they have a bigger, more exciting Harry Potter world and I'll make sure you get every Hufflepuff product there is." He smiled and I nodded, not believing him,
"Yeah, sure!" I laughed, "Then we can spend the week at Disney land too." I muttered sarcastically but he just smiled and nodded.
"Now you're talking." He said a bit louder, coursing all the boys to look are way.
"What are you too whispering about?" Con asked smirking at James who throw a pillow at him.
"Y/N and I are planning a trip to Disney and Universal for her birthday." James smiled slinging his arm over my shoulder. "You boys in?" He asked and each of the boys all laughed and nodded.
Before I had a chance to speak up the bus came to a stop and I looked to see I was outside of my house. I laughed as I saw my mum and sister walk out of the house, looking at the bus confused. I stood up and ran to the doors, the boys following.
"Hey!" I called as the doors opened and I came face to face with my little sister.
"Y/N?" My mum asked confused as I climbed of the bus. I smiled and hugged my sister but she let out a scream making me jump a mile high moving back. I looked to see she was staring at the bus and when I turned James and Joe where stood behind me, Con, Brad and Tris walking off the bus one by one.
"Amy, these are my friends, Tris, Con, Brad and James." I smiled introducing them as they waved. James stepped forward and handed her an envelope and she just smiled in awe. She opened it an screamed as she held up two back stage passes.
"Holy crap, These are back stage passes, and a card from the vamps how did...when did...." She stuttered looking at me and I explained about the tickets and what happened with Danny and how the boys helped me out.
"Well, thank you boys for your help with Y/N, but this is not necessary, she does this all the time, she uses Danny as an excuse and..." My mum started but was interrupted by Joe's phone. He mumbled a few words and hung up, turning to me and smiling.
"The police have Danny, he had your bag on him when they picked him up, everything was still inside except you're phone and the money" He told me, I nodded and shrugged having already guessed he would find the money and phone.
"Well, it's a good job we picked this up then huh?" James pipe up handing me a box, I opened the box to see a new Samsung inside. "We sent Dean to grab it this morning before we set off, while you were asleep I set it up best I could." I looked up at them wide eyed and shook my head passing it back.
"Nope, I can't accept this, you guys have done enough." I told him but he smiled and shook his head.
"Y/N, you need a phone, besides, how are we going to plan our trip if you don't have a phone?" He smiled winking, I still shook my head and held it out to him.
"I'm not taking it back, you'll have to catch me first." He yelled running off down the street, leaving the boys and I laughing at his childishness.
"I don't run!" I yell back smiling as I picked up the phone from the box and pressed the home button, laughing at the lock screen wallpaper.
"wow, how attractive!" I laughed looking at the screen, A selfie of James, pulling a funny face.
"One of my best don't you think?" He asked running up behind me, resting his head on my shoulder.
"What the hell is going on?" My mum asked looking at James and I being so close and I looked up at her.
"They bought me a phone, were you not paying attention?" I asked rolling my eyes at her.
My mother and I never got along, my little sister was her obvious favourite, she hated when I moved away because her little cleaning slave had left the house and she had to do it all herself. I never hated my sister, in fact I felt bad for her, she wants to live a life with adventure and fun, but instead my mother shoves her in every dance class she can find.
"Enough of the sass young lady, you're not coming in my house with an attitude like that." she told me, I laughed and turned to her.
"Oh mother, I'm not coming in that house. I have a hotel booked, Amy is coming with me tonight and on Saturday I will be leaving back home." I told. she let out a huff and turned and walked off, leaving my sister and I laughing. I turned back to the boys who chuckled at my and I grinned a wide grin.
"OK, Y/N we gotta go, but I'll text you later OK?" James smiled pulling me into a hug and placing a small kiss on the top of my head.
"See you later Y/N" Con smiled hugging me next, then came Brad and Tris who both lifted me of my feet making me squeal a little.
"See you at the show." Joe laughed as I hugged him and waved at the boys as they climbed on  the bus.
"Thank you for everything boys. I owe you my life." I smiled and the boys all laughed.
"We'll just settle for your friendship." Brad called back "Well Tris, Con and I will, James might want a little more!"he finished, James smacked his head laughing, sending a wink my way and I laughed back as the doors closed and the bus drove off, the boys all stood waving at the back window.
"Well, that was....AWESOME!" My sister yelled jumping up and down holding her birthday card to her chest smiling bright.
"Yeah, they were great." I smiled, my gaze following the bus until it disappeared. "I sense the beginning of a great friendship." I smiled throwing my arm over Amy's shoulder.
"I sense the beginning of a beautiful marriage." She smirked nudging me side laughing.
"Right shut up and go get your crap. I need to check into our room." I told her pushing her towards the door. That was when my phone buzzed in my pocket.
James: How about we go out for Pizza after the show, me and you, get to know each other.
I smiled at the text and text him back a quick: I'd like that.
Before I called for a cab so when Amy came out so we could head to the hotel.

Love is Blind: Chapter 5
A/N: STOP!! Before you read this chapter listen to ‘The Bed Song’ by Amanda Palmer!!! Pretty please with a cherry on top!! 
I am so sorry i didn’t post this yesterday, I have family in town and I spent the day with them!! Thanks for being patient!! 
Ok, now that I’ve gotten that outta the way, you guys are AMAZING!! Thank you all so much for the love you keep showing this lil ol’ story!! As I mentioned before I was crazy nervous about posting my story but now I’m so happy I did! You all have shown me so much support and love! Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart!! You all know the drill, lmk if there are any mistakes and lmk if you’d like to be added to the tag list!! Without further ado, here’s chapter 5, enjoy!!
*Bold lettering represents texts  Seth Rollins x Blind OFC Warnings: Language & Major sad feels! (grab some tissues) Word Count: 3000+ Summary: Seth was Lily’s world, she was foolish enough to think that she was his. That is until he leaves her behind in pursuit of his dreams. What happens when fate throws them together again years after the heartache and tears? How can Lily see past the pain of the past when she can’t see at all?     +++ “Please... don’t leave like this, s-stay with me.” “I promise I’ll stay in touch...” Lily shot up in bed, gasping for air, wiping angrily at her tears. Even after five years, she was still plagued by nightmares of the love she once had. Seth had kept his promise, for the first couple months that is. He called every night and even visited a few times. But then, the calls came less and the visits ceased. When he did call, their conversations were brief and usually one sided. Eventually they stopped all together. She wasn’t foolish, she knew when things were over. As much as it killed her, she closed that chapter of her life and moved on. She kept in touch with Renee, who to this day remains one of her closest friends, and learned that she and Dean got married, Roman found himself a gorgeous wife as well and is a father. She would check in on Seth every so often through Renee. She knew when he became the first NXT champion, was overly excited when he, Roman and Dean formed the shield, taking the WWE by storm, angry when he backstabbed his brothers and cried when he became WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He had finally gotten what he wanted, even if it meant letting go of her. It hurt to know how easy it was for him to forget about her. The first month without him in her life was pure hell. She stopped going to classes, stopped taking care of herself and cut herself off from everyone around her, that was until a certain singer damn near kicked down her door. —- Lily laid on her bed in nothing but Seth’s shirt. She felt numb... just a shell. She hadn’t realized just how many tears the human body was capable of producing til now. She heard knocking on her door but didn’t have the gumption to answer it, whoever it was would eventually give up. Or so she thought. “If you don’t open this damn door right now, Lillian Penelope Adams, I will bust this bitch down!!” Amanda yelled through the door. Lily knew she wouldn’t let up, so she begrudgingly got up and opened the door, silently walking back to her room. But before she reached her destination, Amanda wrestled her to the ground, straddling her hips. “What the hell is wrong with you?!” Lily spouted, trying to push Amanda off of her. “I have been so worried SICK about you, ya dumb bitch!! You don’t answer your phone, your texts, hell I even tried emailing you! EMAILING for shit’s sake!! I thought you were hurt or worse, DEAD!!” Amanda shouted through tears. “You should’ve told me what happened! Instead I found out through your friend Renee!! Why didn’t you call me?! I would’ve been on the first plane out here.” Amanda held her friend close. By now, both girls were bawling. “I’m s-sorry, I didn’t know what to do. I d-didn’t want to face to truth. That he-” Lily said, hiccuping. “That he doesn’t want or need me....” She said, her voice barely above a whisper. Amanda’s heart was breaking for her best friend. She kissed her forehead and stood up, pulling Lily up with her. “Ok, first things first, you are going to shower, I’ll order dinner, we’ll clean up your apartment and then you, missy, are going to call your dean and beg him not to throw you out!! Now scoot!” Amanda said, ushering Lily towards the bathroom. Amanda spent the next month helping Lily get her life back in order and got her back on her feet. It took a shit ton of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, but with Amanda’s help, Lily got her grades up and moved on, graduating with honors and eventually became a piano teacher working from the comfort of her home. She had been on the occasional date but no one could fill the void left by Seth so she swore off dating altogether. —- Lily said goodbye to her last student of the day, 9 year old James, when her phone went off. She smiled, recognizing Amanda’s ringtone. “Hello m’dear, how are yo-“ She was cut off by Amanda’s panicked voice. “I need your help! I broke my hand.” “Oh my hell. Ok, I’m on the next flight out! How long will I be taking care of you?” “No! That’s not what I mean, I um.... Ineedyoutocomeontourwithmeandbemypianistplease!!!” She yelled, frantically. “Ummmm.... come again?” Lily laughed out. “I said I need you to come on tour with me and be my pianist..... please” she stopped taking a small breath “pretty please with a cherry on top?” Lily was stunned. She had a job, a life, what about her students? But then again, what about the adventure? She had never done something like this. Why not be a little selfish, just this once? “What the hell, I’ll be there!!” She said, excitement coursing through her body. “Really?! Oh my gosh, you have no idea how much this means to me!!” “Of course, it’ll be fun. I’ll be there as soon as I can, I just need to pack and buy a ticket.” “So, funny you should mention a ticket because, I already bought you one. I was really really really hoping you’d say ‘yes’. Check your email.” Sure enough, when Lily called for Alexa to read her emails, there was a first class ticket waiting for her. “After all these years you still spoil me.” “It’s what I’m best at. Plus, it’s your birthday, you deserve to be spoiled!! Now get your ass packed! I can’t wait to see you!!” Amanda squealed. “Can you FaceTime me and help me pick out what clothes you want me to bring to best represent ‪Amanda Palmer‬?” “Oh screw that, just pack a few essentials and I’ll take you shopping when you get here!” With that they said their goodbyes and Lily quickly made the proper arrangements letting the parents of her students know that she’d be leaving for a while, having her mom come house sit, packed a small bag and was on her way. —- Renee sighed, Seth was in a pisser of a mood tonight.... again. He was getting short with the backstage staff, arguing with other superstars and being difficult to work with. Looking at her phone, she realized why he was being such a dick, it was Lily’s birthday. She inwardly groaned, knowing that this was only the beginning to the shit show that was to come. Just then Dean and Roman came around the corner. They stood next to Renee watching as Seth was slowly unraveling. Roman was still pissed about the way things went down. Lily held a special place in his heart and Seth simply let her go. Well, to be fair, he did it because he thought it’s what was best for her. Seth felt that because he was so far away 95% of the time he wasn’t good enough for her. He couldn’t be the man that she needed. Because, y’know, she obviously wasn’t a perfectly grown adult capable of making decisions all on her own. Roman and Dean had to hold back Renee when they all found out what had happened. —- Roman, Dean and Seth were stretching in the NXT performance center weight room when a severely enraged Renee came storming in. Looking around the room, her eyes finally found their target. She marched right over to Seth and, with surprising strength, pushed him to the floor. Roman and Dean were on her immediately, holding her back from throttling a very guilty looking Seth. “What were you THINKING?!” She screamed at him. “In what universe did you think it would be ok to do that to Lily?!” At the mention of Lily’s name, Roman’s head snapped in Seth’s direction. He let go of Renee and stalked towards Seth. “What did you do?” He asked, an eerie calmness in his voice. “I, uh, I broke things off with Lily.” He said, unable to meet the Samoan in the eyes. “Oh, you “broke things off”? Is that what you did?!” Renee asked, making air quotes with her fingers. “Why don’t you tell them what you really did? Better yet, let me read it straight from the source?!” She said angrily, ripping her phone from her back pocket. Seth’s eyes widened in horror. “This is from a month and a half ago: ‘I don’t know what’s happened. He hasn’t called me, text me or anything for weeks now! Is he ok? I’m just really worried about him.’ This gem is from a month ago: ‘Did I do something to upset him? Oh no, is he having trouble sleeping again?’ And this one, this is the nail on the coffin: ‘I get it now. I’m the problem, I almost always am. I thought he’d be different but such is life I guess. Do me a favor, just keep an eye on him for me. Let me know how he’s doing from time to time.’ UGH!!! Even when she’s hurting she still cares about your sorry ass!!” Renee finished, trying to lunge at him again. Dean was half tempted to let her go. Seth could feel his heart shatter with every word Renee read. He wanted nothing more than the earth to open up and swallow him whole. “What in the ever living hell were you thinkin’, man?” Dean asked through gritted teeth. “She was perfect for you!” Roman was still glaring at Seth, arms folded over his chest, debating on whether to pummel him or simply let Renee do it. With a heavy sigh he quietly said “Explain yourself. Now.” “I’m no good for her, she needs someone who can be there for her all the time. I’m not that guy.” He said, finally making eye contact with them. “That wasn’t your decision to make by yourself!! You should’ve handled that a hell of a lot better than taking the coward’s way out.” Venom dripped from Renee’s mouth. “You should’ve talked to her. She deserved that m-much.” Her voice breaking at the end. She had come to think of Lily like a sister and her heart broke because of the pain she’s going through alone. “She deserved better.” With that she left the room. Dean and Roman stood there just staring at Seth in utter disbelief. Finally Roman stepped forward, offering his hand to Seth, helping him up. The three of them sat on a near by bench in silence for a while. It was Dean who finally broke the drowning silence. “You know we love you man and, even tho shit hit the fan, if you feel like you did the right thing then we’re here with you.” He said patting his shoulder. “It just could’ve been handled better.” Roman said standing up. He and Dean left, leaving Seth alone with his thoughts. He made the right decision, didn’t he? She needs someone better to be there for her, even if that someone wasn’t him. —- Seth was walking down the hallway, having just gone off on a stage hand for bumping into him, when he heard something he hadn’t heard in years, something he didn’t think he’d ever hear again. Something that used to lull him to sleep but now plagued his nightmares. He looked around and saw Bayley and Sasha huddled over a laptop. “Oh my gosh, this is the saddest song, EVER!” Bayley said, Sasha nodding in agreement, both girls wiping their eyes. Just then Nia walked by, joining the girls. “What are you girlies watching?” She asked, getting lost in the video. Seth knew that song, he’d heard it a thousand times, still haunting him to this day. “The Bed Song” He whispered. “It’s called ‘The Bed Song’ by ‪Amanda Palmer‬.” Sasha answered. “Oh I love her!! Her ‘Who Killed ‪Amanda Palmer‬’ album is amazing!” “Right?” Bayley said, “She finally made a music video for ‘The Bed Song’!” Seth couldn’t breath, he ran to his dressing room, slamming the door behind him. He kicked a small table, sending it flying, grabbed a chair, throwing it across the room, screaming all the while. This had become a ritual for him as of late. He finally flopped down on the couch, covering his face with his hands. He grabbed his duffel bag, fished out his phone and a small box. He pulled up the only thing that calmed him. He stared at the photo from their first night together Renee had text him all those years ago. Looking at that photo for millionth time, he wished so badly he could go back in time and just live in that moment with his Lily. He stared at the tiny object in his hand. How could something so small feel so heavy? It represented the biggest regret in his life. Opening it, he pulled out a small ring with a modest diamond, on the inside it had the inscription ‘Soulmate’.... in braille. —- Lily felt her heart beating a thousand beats per minute. She felt Amanda put her good arm around her shoulders. “You’re gonna be great!! You’re the only person I trust to do this!! You’re gonna rock the shit outta the stadium!!” She said, shaking her slightly. “Hey, who’s a badass?” Without hesitation, Lily screamed “I’M A BADASS!!” They hugged and made their way on stage, a crew member guiding Lily to the keyboard. As she pounded on the keys of each note of every song she felt exhilarated!! It was like a natural high, she couldn’t believe that she almost said ‘no’! Then came the song she was dreading the most. She couldn’t help but relate to every word, every sad note. As Lily played, listening to Amanda’s voice sing each haunting word, it felt like Amanda was singing it solely for her. She couldn’t stop the tears from staining her cheeks, tears of a love that once was, a love that could’ve been. Snapping out of her thoughts, she heard Amanda thanking the crowd then asked Lily to stand. “Guys, as many of you know, I had a little spill and broke my hand. I couldn’t have been here tonight performing for you all of it wasn’t for my amazing friend, Lily Adams!! Give her some love!!” Lily was smiling like a fool at the crowd’s loud response. Yeah, she made the right choice. —- Renee laid next to Dean in their hotel room, stroking his hair while scrolling through Instagram, when she got a text from Lily. “Hey, so I took your advice and did something crazy!” “What did you do?” Renee asked, slightly afraid of the answer. There were many levels of crazy. “So Amanda injured her hand and asked me to go on tour with her as her pianist and I said YES! We’ve been on tour for almost three months now!” Renee was beyond ecstatic for Lily, she both needed and deserved this! Although Lily didn’t out right say it, she knew that she still missed Seth. “Oh babe, I’m so happy for you!” She immediately jumped on Amanda’s twitter page and sure enough, there was a video! “Dean!” She said, shaking him. “Wha...?” Sleep evident in his voice. “Look! It’s Lily!!” She hit play and shared her phone with Dean. “Stand that cute ass of yours up Lily!” Lily stood, a smile plastered on her face. “As always, I have to thank my amazing friend, and pianist, Lily Adams!! Give her some love!!” Lily waved to the audience and blew a kiss before Amanda took her hand. Both women bowed, then left the stage. “She looks great!” Dean groggily said. “Say, where they playin’ anyway?” She text Lily, asking Dean’s question. “We’re currently in Nevada!” She replied. “They’re in Nevada.” She told Dean. “Holy shit, she’s only a couple hours from here.” He said, his head snapping up. “Well, don’t tell Seth that. He’d flip a gasket if he knew just how close she was. Lily’s moved on by now, the last thing she needs is him screwing all that up.” But just as the words left her mouth, there was a knock at their door. Dean got up and opened it revealing Roman and a very flustered Hunter. “What’s up, Ro, boss man?” Dean asked, inviting them in. “Sorry to bug you guys, but because you’re all close with Seth I need some answers. I’ve noticed he’s been behaving erratically as of late. From what I’ve heard from other superstars, he hasn’t been sleeping much and has been riddled with headaches. Cesaro walked in on him punching the wall for shit’s sake, and I won’t even tell you the state of his hotel room. Do any of you have a clue as to what’s going on or have any solutions?” Hunter asked, desperately. The three of them exchanged a knowing look. This all felt like déjà vu. “Um, we might have a few.” Dean said, not breaking eye contact with Renee, who subtly shook her head ‘no’. “I’m all ears.” He said, exhaustion evident on his face. “Well-“ Dean continued but was cut off by Renee. “Well, we need to talk about it and, I promise, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. But for now, get some sleep. You look like you could use it.” She said with a friendly smile. He rubbed his eyes, nodding. “Yeah, I’ve been stressing over Seth. I really appreciate your help with this. Keep me posted kiddos.” With that, he left the hotel room. Dean and Roman both looked at Renee. “You know what we have to do.” Roman said. “Absolutely not!” Renee shook her head. “That’s cruel to ask of her.” “I know, doll, but she’s the only one who can bring him outta this.” Dean told her. “No, I won’t put her through that. She’s our friend too you guys! We can’t ask her to open those wounds again.” “Renee, I love her just as much as you do, but as much as I hate to admit it, she’s the only light that can bring Seth out of the dark.” Roman said. “I-I can’t...” She sniffled. “I can’t hurt her like that.” Dean pulled her close, “Babe, we need to try. The way Seth is going, it’s only a matter of time before hurts himself or worse, someone else.” He held her tight as she sobbed. After a few minutes she pulled away and dried her eyes, letting out a defeated sigh. She knew there was no other way. She picked up her phone, hands shaking as she called her friend who’s heart she was about to break all over again. “Please forgive me Lily.” She whispered, a bastard tear falling from her eye. She couldn’t do this alone, so she put it on speaker. They all held they’re breath as the phone began to ring. “H-Hello?” Lily’s sleepily answered. Renee couldn’t find her voice. “Renee?” Dean and Roman were motioning for her to say something. Sighing, she closed her eyes and bit the bullet. “He needs you.”
