alright y'all lil (alright, maybe not so little) recap of the second show of AG's Boom Done tour last night 3.4 in Buffalo @ one of my favorite venues, Mohawk Place. because my brain commits absolutely everything to memory at shows & i like writing it all down before i forget

(for fun & plus maybe folks going to this tour want to know what's shakin, since i haven't seen much online yet):

(note there will be setlist spoilers)

- alright so first, a freakin HIGHLIGHT for me was, of course, GET OUT!!!

Anthony was just kinda messing around with his guitar & then teased it by being like "hmm... how should i play this..." and then went into that and the crowd reception was AWESOME, dude. whatever the opposite of masking is, that's what i was doing there. i definitely started physically jumping up & down once i realized what it was (typical wavernot4love @ the AG show behavior). aka evidently he knew your boy (who like i've mentioned on here, got into Circa last summer through a kind person at a Dunes show rec'ing me Get Out & then BSN. Get Out was straight up my introduction 2 Circa) was in the building (/Ih).

also, i had to shorten my clip to post because in the rest i must've had my phone right next to my mouth,,, which made for some horrifying tone deaf live vox from wavernot4love. be glad i spared y'all from that one.

(i'm gonna put one of those keep reading thingies here, click it 2 see the rest)

- he also played Dyed In The Wool & Frozen Creek, continuing that theme (though I expected these more since he's played em recently). Dyed In The Wool with everyone singing along during the chorus was probably my top moment, and one that's gonna stick with me forever, honestly. i remember thinking it straight up felt like, a churchlike (but positive) experience or something during the songs everyone did that for (remember, it's just anthony this tour no backing band, so it was somewhat quiet in there). more on that later, but AG kept pointing out how nice the singing along was & how fun/awesome this all was, and man, that it was.

- he mentioned valuing spontaneity over a planned setlist every night and basically implied he was just goin for whatever felt right at the time. so just consider the songs i mention here as a basic guideline, he could very well switch stuff up every night. i love that he's like this when it comes to shows - idk dude, like, at one point he even asked folks what time it was, laughing when they told him, jokingly accusing them of being untrustworthy & then going right back into the tunes. dude was just here to play, for as long as he could.

- kinda tied to that, there was a running gag of the set being "inconsistent" (his word). he'd bring up jokingly that there'd be moments where everyone could be singing along, and then songs that nobody knows (and he'd jokingly "apologize" for that), and he'd even (lightheartedly) call specific people out and be like (to laughs) "look at this person, they have no *idea* what i'm gonna play next!" actually i think he said that before Get Out. at one point he was (paraphrased slightly) like, "so if i start playing 12 Circa songs in a row, let me know." i love how he just does whatever the hell feels right in the moment.

- also a couple times he messed up while starting a song (i think due to laughing) and bro would call out folks laughing at him for it (lightheartedly) and be like "this is all performance. vou don't know what goes into this!" (this was not at all serious and said through laughter. straight up half the show was all of us in that room just cracking up together)

- he introduced his Title Fight cover (Numb, But I Still Feel It) by calling TF one of his favorite bands & joking that they're gonna hear this & think it's time to get back together so... if you hear that Title Fight reunited, you know why, which, well, if you know that side of the scene, you know what's up. real shits and giggles moment, if i do say so myself.

- at one point (only bad thing) someone at the front was being objectively Weird in the way people (unfortunately) do to try to get an artist's attention (let's just say it involved throwing money (????? literally what) while yelling stuff about understanding because they're in the industry (??)) and he honestly handled it with so much grace. he pretty much said that made him uncomfortable etc and he would Not be taking more of their money please, he already did that, and that led to him ranting for a second i think mostly to himself in a thinking out loud/under his breath kinda way about *hating* having to sell stuff in the first place in order to do this and like,,, i go into this a bit in the tags but it genuinely reminded me of how i get when i'm passionate about something. what i'm trying to say, is dude clearly was heated & meant it. fully. just felt relevant to include

- then he ranted about something related to the moneythrowing, drunk (question mark) weirdo (long story, but it ended in him telling them to tip bartenders with their money instead of weird things), then used that to go on a tangent about how we should always tip people working in service in general and respect/be kind to them even if they seem rude or whatever because doing that shit is hard & sucks and maybe your kindess will be the wakeup call that causes them to one day have a moment where they're like, man, i was a dick back then for no reason. (i feel like i am nearly direct quoting him here)

- then after a song he joked about the incident saving we were probably just all watching like 🧍‍♂️ and it was like watching dad yell at mom at the dinner table while you just sit there staring at the ground and safe to say the mood was fully lightened after that moment of self awareness fhfhfh

- then a few songs later i guess the person that was being weird had left so he was like, (at this point there were no weird vibes whatsoever, like we were all just scoffing/laughing at the situation and cheering him on) "oh that person who hates me left. did they give the bartender that money?" (someone implied they thought so) and he was like "good." and that was the end with that weirdo situation lol. i have absolutely no idea why that person, drunk or not, thought that was a normal cool thing to do. as always, please don't be weird 2 musicians they are in every sense just Some Guys (gender neutral), treat them like anyone else.

- back 2 totally unserious things, during... uh don't mind me, like i've said in my previous posts i'm still getting 2 know Boom Done, so whatever song has like, the horns kinda near the end? he just started making freakin. horn noises since since there were, in fact, no horns in the building and made us all do them too and everyone was just straight up cackling because it was so stupid (/pos).

- idk one thing that stood out to me was one person belting along at the end of... i can't remember what song it was actually, i think one of his older tunes, but you could tell he heard & a song later complimented it & said it was beautiful. i'm telling ya, he kept going on about how nice folks singing along sounded and encouraging that, which was awesome because i wasn't sure what the vibe was gonna be there since it was just him playing.

- don't want to go into detail since it feels like something between Anthony & whoever he decides to tell it to in real time, ya know, but he did tell a pretty extensive story leading up to Miracle Sun. in terms of themes, it was in regards to (with plenty of laughs mixed into the serious bits, of course) letting folks that matter to him down + falling into a cycle of engaging in stuff that temporarily made him feel better but was moreso just self destructive, in the past. just interesting stuff to hear in connection to a song.

- at the end, before Dear Child, he just talked in the most honest manner about knowing he's let people down, cancelled shows (there were laughs mixed in here too), just not been the best version of himself over the years etc, but appreciating how long everyone has stuck around, and how we keep coming back, & jow much it means whenever we tell someone go check out a song or anything like that, & helping him continue to do this and also support his family and whatnot and man it just. embodied everything i love about AG solo sets i guess. i just admire how open a book &p vulnerable dude is. while i love his more theatric frontman persona of course as it's fun as hell, it's so nice at solo shows like this to hear more from him, in seriousness and otherwise. also dude was posting about how fun it was on instagram later so i'm just glad we all had a great time.

- also at one point before a new tune he was talking about these cds he had that have that on it + some rerecordings, Frozen Creek (feat. Keith of GOW), etc. i love cds so i ran to snag one later of course (they're $12)

- as for other merch he had a few shirts (like that cute one i keep seeing around, with him & the puppy), some art prints, & the Boom Done book thingy (i really wanted it but couldn't swing the $25 right now sadly)

anyways,, i posted on Setlist FM for the first time, here are all the songs i remember for sure (there were definitely at least 4/5 others i am not thinking of, i'd say he did 17ish songs, he played for close to an hour and a half. keep in mind he talked a LOT with us which was awesome)

edit: someone added a few more!!!

anyways, that's the show!!! 1. i may or may not be trying 2 figure out how to pull off one of the other northeast dates (looking @ Cleveland, which is closer but i'd have to drive to, or New York, which is further (+ yknow.. dealing w getting around in NY) but i could take a bus to, this weekend/next week as we speak,,,, that's how freakin good and homey (more on that in the tags aka uhh literal diary section of this post) and impactful this show was.

and 2. if any of this (especially said tags) sounds loopy it sure is because i wrote most of this at roughly four am last night post show, when i was even moreso still back *at* the show in my head. i still stand by all of it though of course, i just know it might not be the most coherent.

this tour rocks. AG's tunes mean so much to me. get out 2 a show!!! tell me about your experiences if ya do/did!!!! yay!!!!

#it is safe to say i have genuinely endless respect & admiration for this person who happens to be my favorite artist in the world #i could not be happier or moreso in my neutral state of how i feel like things should be than i am at the ag show #also the more i hear him talk the more i realize homie reminds me of... me.#not in a “me modeling my behaviors after him because i look up to him” kinda way #though i certainly have picked up on small things there like i tend to with folks #like phrases and the like #but no #moreso just in a “the two of us happen to share some innate similarities in regards to a buncha stuff” kinda way #just an observation. in hindsight i wonder if i subconsciously picked up on this back when i was first getting into his music #n that contributed to it resonating with me so much #i don't know man i just know i'm glad 2 have this dude's music in my life and to see homie thriving #truly hope we can meet @ a show sometime soon so i can dive into how much of a positive impact he's had on my life. i have so much to say!!#i tried to make that happen at this show i really did #i just guess it wasn't meant 2 happen then. and that is okay!! i know it will whenever it's meant to.#going back to what i said about everything just feeling.... right at the show i keep thinking about how while i miss that already #and am kinda having a crisis where in my head i feel like i'm still there (or should be) as opposed 2 here back in regular just. life #i'm just glad and lucky moments like this show are a real thing that can be my life at all.#basically i just mean the vibe of ag shows feels like everything i define my life by really #realized as something/place i can actually physically experience.#shows r my safe space that embody everything i dream about when i'm just going about day to day life #live music is everything 2 me & that's only amplified exponentially by folks like anthony that get it & turn shows even moreso into a home #thanks for reading if you have #i'm truly glad to have this space where i feel like i can talk about Everything #i love that on here the “oversharing” thing is just a thing everyone does #actually that ties back to what i brought up about anthony #i respect how unapologetically open that dude is in ways that might be “too much” for some people & really connect 2 that #point is i am so grateful for days like this and music like this and people like this #anthony green #circa survive #wavernot4love talks ag tunes

Oooooo could I get second years that get trapped in a closest with male reader?

Maybe a prank from friends to get them to confess to reader or something or they get locked in trying to hide from teacher while ditching

Up to you!!

Thanks for your request! Hehehe, you made my day on time work very fun. I love the second year🫶 (read: Jamil) (English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes)

Summary: second years that get trapped in a closest with reader Characters: Riddle Rosehearts, Ruggie Bucchi, Azul Ashengrotto, Jade Leech, Floyd Leech, Kalim Al-Asim, Jamil Viper, Silver Warning: male!reader, ooc, hcs, TEASING!reader (I'm not sorry), one(1) curse word in Floyd part

Riddle Rosehearts

I swear Ace is involved in this, otherwise how could you end up in the back room with his dorm leader?

Now coming to the problem. You were locked up with Riddle and you don’t know why he’s all red, but I’m sure someone will lose their head today.

Gently placing your hand on his shoulder, you begin to speak. “Riddle, are you okay? I think it's just a joke, you shouldn't be so angry." You are almost interrupted by his quiet voice. “I'm not… ahem… I'm not angry. I just… it's a little hard to explain."

Fine. He's not angry, that's good. You gently run your hands over his shoulders and continue.

“okay, do you know the reason why we are here now? I don’t think we’ll be here for long.”

He carefully raises his hand and touches yours. It's not that bad, so why is he shaking?

“It’s just a stupid joke, don’t worry about it. I apologize that you were dragged into this."

Your second hand begins to pat him on the head and you are not even sure that you are against this idea. You often don't get to spend time with him because of his dorm activities, so overall you're not upset about the situation.

“mmm, it’s not that bad, Riddle. Of course, I would like to spend time with you, but in a different environment it would be more convenient, don’t you think?”

Okay, now he feels his face starting to turn red. For the first time, he is glad that you cannot see him, otherwise he would simply burn with shame.

He always knew that you liked to show affection to your friends, but do you have to do it with him now? All week he tried to find the moment to confess his love to you, but of course everything didn't go according to plan. You deserve the most beautiful and thoughtful date, so why did it all go wrong?

He can wait until you two are released and then he can tell you how he feels, While he's thinking about a new idea, he feels your hands running through his hair and you brush strands of his hair out of his face.

“since we are closed here, don’t you think that spending this time in silence will be boring? You don’t want to talk to me at all?”

"I- No! Not at all, on the contrary I.. I'm glad to spend time with you. It's just that this situation is a little confusing."

"O? Maybe, but still, what did you want to tell me, Riddle?" His hands fall to your uniform sleeve and he lowers his head. Okay, yeah, you got him, what do you want to hear? He might be in love with you, yes, he can go now? The boy is ready to die right now from the way he feels.

It looks like the time has come to tell you about his feelings.

Placing his hand on his heart, he restores his breathing and you hear that the boy fell in love with you a long time ago and all this time he tried to look after you like a real gentleman.

While you listen to his quiet voice, you involuntarily begin to smile.

You're incredibly lucky, aren't you? You were also interested in Riddle and you were even flattered that he confessed to you first.

After he falls silent, you kiss him gently on the lips. I can say with confidence that you now have an excellent boyfriend, don't you think?

Maybe being stuck here with him was such a bad thing, right?

Ruggie Bucchi

He was definitely running away from a group of students, and you were just walking towards him. Okay, now you're a partner in crime.

It is for this reason that you are now in the dark utility room with him. Romantic, isn't it?

Okay, now you, out of breath from running, are stuck in a small room with a giggling hyena, congratulations.

He thinks that both of you should stay here for a while until the group of students moves on. When his laughter calms down, he realizes HOW close you are to him now. Okay, but do you really have to lean on the wall behind him??

Now he panics more than when he was running away from those students. Like, he's stuck in a SMALL and dark room with a guy he likes??Luck is not on his side.

“shehehe, can you move further away, huh?” His hands are on your chest and begin to press a little. “It’s your fault that I’m here with you, don’t you think? Now bear with me, I didn’t plan on going for a run early in the morning.”

Okay, now that he hears your voice so close to his face, he realizes that this was a very bad decision.

“Come on, it was just one time. Come on, in a couple of minutes we can calmly leave, move away.”

Calming your breathing, you rest your head on his shoulder. It’s his problem that you two are here, so let him sort it out, no?

“hey! Are you kidding?" One of his hands moves to your back and you hear a couple more dissatisfied exclamations. You don't really understand what you're doing with him, do you?

For some time now, he has been trying to muffle his feelings for you. You are his friend and he also has a lot to do, he doesn't have time for his feelings for you. Are you behaving this way on purpose?

“Well, comedy genius, what shall we do?” Your hand falls on his waist and you turn your head against his shoulder. “pfft, let’s wait until they leave and calmly leave.”

You raise your head and try to make out his eyes, the lighting leaves much to be desired, you can hardly see Raggi. “Aren’t you afraid that they will come back? Haha, that would be very bad, wouldn't it? Well, little hyena, what do you want to talk about?”

You will definitely lean closer to his face, right? He already feels his face starting to burn. “Ruggie? Maybe you have something to tell me? He He hears you chuckle at his nervousness and decides to finish him off. “Hmm, maybe you have something to confess to me, don’t you think?”

You broke Ruggie, congratulations. He freezes like a deer in headlights and stares at the floor. "..what do you want to hear? Secrets are worth a lot, you know?”

But if you are involved in the secret, then you can easily find out, right? "..Fine! Okay, yes, I like you. Satisfied?"

Just when Ruggie was about to start running away from you, he feels a light kiss on his cheek. Don't you think you're spoiling him? He presses his lips against your cheek and quickly runs out of the back room. You hear him shouting about meeting you later.

Maybe you're not so angry at him after that.

Azul Ashengrotto

His wingmen are the worst (read: Leech twins)

Now you are stuck with the deflated octopus in a small space and you also hear the laughter retreating behind the door.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over them. Are you okay?"

You try to see him in the dim light, noticing that he has taken off his glasses.

"well, while we're here anyway, Azul, what do you want to talk about?" You carefully take his glasses and put them on yourself. "Hm? I look like?" Okay, you're making the gears in Azul's head grind to a halt. "..good. You look good. But as always."

He hears your quiet laugh. “Is that so? Did I really manage to sign some kind of contract, since you are telling me such things?”

You lean one hand on the wall behind him so you don't accidentally hit your head yourself. And now you notice some nervousness in his behavior.

“Are you okay, Azul? I don’t think we’ll be here long, so don’t worry too much.” your other hand smacks his head and you leave it there.

"Yes. Um, are you sure you’re okay?” He takes your hand in his and removes it from his head, but still doesn't let go.

“Sevens, Azul, everything is absolutely fine with me. We haven't seen you for a long time, right? Can you tell me something interesting, hmm?” You hold Azul's hand tighter, trying to get a closer look at his face. He's always been handsome, but something about this lighting makes him even more attractive.

He calms his heartbeat and begins to tell you about Floyd's latest antics, new contracts, etc. As you listened, your hand slips from his and you brush his hair back. Yes, you definitely enjoy looking at him. At this moment he becomes silent and tries to look at you back. The heat rises in his cheeks and he holds you by the hem of your shirt.

“I think I would also like to confess something to you.” A good start, he even began to speak confidently as usual. You tilt your head closer and continue to listen silently.

“I would like this to take place in a more romantic atmosphere, but we are already here anyway. I have romantic feelings for you, I would really be happy if you reciprocated them.." You listen to his confession to you and narrow your eyes. He's simply charming.

When he falls silent for a moment, you lower his head and leave a light kiss on his eyelid.

“I guess I have the same feelings, unexpectedly, right?” You chuckle quietly and continue to pepper his face with kisses.

Jade Leech

I can only say that this happened on purpose. But we all understand that he would absolutely act surprised. You're stuck with him, what bad luck, right? How did this happen?

Glowing eye? YES

But it’s convenient for you to see him, isn’t it? No matter how tall you are, he will tower over you, leaning on the wall behind you.

"Oh? Is there something wrong?" No, everything is as usual, just a huge eel is standing above your soul and smiling.

“Hello to you too, Jade. Do you have anything to say about this situation?” You look into his eyes and notice how he begins to squint.

“I’m just as surprised as you are. But since we’re already here, would you like to talk?” You feel his hand fall on your shoulder, gently running further down your arm.

"why not? What did you want to tell me?” You calmly intertwine your hand with his and pull him closer to you. What terrible thing could happen? You're already closed with him, aren't you?

You are listening to a completely ordinary conversation, about the activities of his club, his brother, how his day is going. It feels like you are in a normal friendly environment, and not locked away somewhere in a remote part of the building, doesn’t it?

All this time he did not take his eyes off you, his yellow eye looked straight into your soul with feigned tenderness.

“However, I think that’s all. Is there anything you want to tell me?” he tilts his head to the side and closes his eyes. You feel that a little more and his gaze will make a hole in your face.

“Jade, we’re not here because you wanted to know how I’m doing, why don’t you get straight to the point?”

You hear a surprised sigh and his eyes open and look at you arrogantly.

“get straight to the point, right? Perhaps you are right and I had a serious conversation with you.”

He leans closer to you and you feel his breath on your face.

“I wanted to tell you about my feelings for you. How do you like this idea?” You place your free hand on his neck and begin to speak.

“sounds interesting. Come on Jade, I'm listening to you."

During his confession, you notice the fire in his eyes. Why don't you think that this could lead to something bad?

Oh, are you really already in his power?

As the words leave his lips, he finally leans down to your face and kisses you. Looks like you won't be coming out anytime soon.

Floyd Leech

I don't think he doesn't know that he's in love with you. This is so obvious that everyone knows about it. He never even hid it, so why are you in this situation now?

Perhaps your friend is tired of the cat and mouse game and finally tells you how he feels to your face. He really waited a long time, don't you think?

The only problem is that he doesn't look happy at all.

“Are you really that stupid? Or don’t you like boys, hey?” he pulls your cheek and whines in your ear.

Now the lanky boy is literally lying on top of you, you can’t even imagine what you can do in such a situation to somehow cheer him up.

You gently stroke his back, drawing circles with your movements. Okay, maybe it's not so bad.

“Floyd.. why did you decide that I don’t like boys?” he turns his head towards you and you see his eye glow. Okay, you've chosen a dangerous tactic, but why not try it?

He lets go of your face and his hand falls on your shoulder. You see how his gaze suddenly becomes serious. Okay, did you choose the WORST TACTICS??

“Did you ignore me on purpose?” Fuck?? Well, it looks like you don't know how to choose words correctly.

“I have no reason to ignore you, Floyd. Maybe I didn't notice? Have you thought about it?” He frowns and you see him look away from you. Okay, let him think that you should also figure out how to get out of here, preferably alive.

You remove your hand from his back and place it on his cheek. You're walking on a very thin blade, you know?

“Floyd, why do you think that I don’t like you? Didn't you notice my hints?” You run your finger along his cheekbone and his gaze returns to you.

"hints? So you love me too? You quietly say yes, and see him smile again. Okay, you're a genius at negotiating with a sad eel.

“Floyd? Would you like to kiss me?” You see his eyes light up and you calmly exhale, closing your eyes.

Perhaps ignoring his feelings a little wasn't such a bad thing?

Kalim Al-Asim

You really got here by accident. Maybe he accidentally swept you off the road on a magic carpet?

Either way, you are here now.

You hear a stream of apologies and feel yourself being tossed from side to side like a rag doll. It seems like nothing hurts you, so everything is not so bad.

You catch his hands in yours and begin to calm him down.

“Kalim! Are you okay? Shut up for a second and let me check if you're okay.

If there was more light, it would be much easier for you, but everything seems to be okay with the boy and you continue to talk.

“Okay, now that we’re here, you can tell me something, don’t you think?” He immediately relaxes and starts telling you about how his day went, about Jamil, people I don’t know and what he was doing today.

Okay, Kalim is 100% fine.

You let go of his hands and hold his waist as he places his hands on your shoulders, continuing to talk.

When one of your hands moves to his back, gently stroking him, he pauses for a second and looks back at you.

“I also wanted to tell you that I like you! You are so good, kind-” as you continue to listen to Kalim’s confession, the gears in your head for a moment begin to work at 110%

Does he confess his feelings to you so calmly? Okay, that's not bad, but you're really surprised. You hear the smile in his voice and involuntarily begin to smile yourself.

Without thinking twice, you kiss his cheeks and pull him closer to you.

The minute pain was worth it for you to now listen to Kalim’s soft laughter and words of love for you

Jamil Viper

MY FAVORITE– *cough*

Floyd and Ace locked you up with him.

Firstly, you don’t understand anything at all, and secondly, this is the first time you’ve seen Jamil so nervous. Okay, maybe it wasn't so bad.

“sorry” “huh?” “for these two. I'm sorry you got dragged into this."

You simply turn your eyes to his words and coming closer (as far as space allows) you start talking. "Calm down, boy. This is not your fault. May I ask if you know why they did this?”

You would be happy to spend time alone with him, but of course in a more pleasant environment. You tilt your head and look at his silhouette in the dim light.

"They're always doing stuff like this." "O? So I’m not the first one you’re stuck with like this?” your lips stretch into a teasing smile, even if your interlocutor doesn’t see it. "..I am not talking about that. No, you are the first person with whom they close me.” “I’m flattered. Well, Jamil, what do you want to talk about while we're here?“

Your eyes dart over the soft contours of his face as you lean your body into his personal space.

He could feel his body temperature rapidly rising. Okay, that was really bad.

“I would prefer to spend this time in silence.” "Oh? It’s a pity, I wanted to tell you something interesting that Ace and Floyd told me.”

This was VERY bad. He could have sworn he was starting to panic. What could these two tell you? Although, knowing your character, he may assume that you are just joking to pass the time “Jamil? Hello?" “Are you okay or did you fall asleep while I was talking?” your hand moves to his cheek and you gently run your finger along his cheekbone.

Okay, you want to give the boy a heart attack, right?

There is almost no free space left between you and him, he carefully puts his hands on your shoulders, trying to move you away a little.

"I hear. There is no need to speak so loudly, there are already two of us here.” He feels the hand from his cheek fall on his neck and hears you begin to giggle. “I'm glad you finally noticed it. So why did these two do this, hmm?”

The pressure on your shoulders eases and his hands gently fall onto your forearms. He's never had a hard time lying, so why is he completely unable to do it now?

Leaning closer to his ear, you continue speaking. “Jamil? Will you answer me? It’s not nice to ignore people, don’t you think?”

He turns his head sharply in your direction and tries to regain his calm appearance. You don't understand what you're doing with him, right?Now he would really like this stupid joke to end and then he could confess to you in a romantic setting.

He doesn't hear Floyd or Ace outside the door, it's better than nothing. While he was deep in thought, he didn’t notice how your breath felt on his lips. Okay, he needs to do something.

“I wanted to talk to you. Well, you know, alone." you move a little away from his face and try to see his eyes in the light of the closet.

“And what did you want to talk about in such a place?” "No. I meant that I wanted to talk to you, but not in a place like this. Understand?"

You laugh quietly and wrap your arms around his neck. This is the first time you've seen him so nervous, why not use it?

“We are already here, alone. Say what you want and do it, won't you?»

Moving his hands to your back, the boy speaks quietly. “this...conversation should have been more of a confession on my part.” “Really? And what did you want to confess to me?” He feels you wrap a strand of his hair around your finger and for the first time he doesn’t want to tell you not to touch his hair.

"I like you. Romantically. You know?"

Maybe you expected this. Now you just break into a smile answering his feelings. Can he really be that cute? Leaning closer to his face, you hear the click of the door opening.

Quickly placing a kiss on his forehead, you move away. “We’ll continue later.” And you go in the direction of the door, where you see two laughing silhouettes.

Everything went much better than it could have, right?

Silver

I don’t even know how you ended up there, most likely it was an accident.

But since you're already locked up, why not talk.

You hear Silver apologize quietly as you try not to accidentally hit yourself or him. Finally you stand up straight, holding onto his shoulder and the wall behind him.

Okay, of all the possible people, it was Silver, it's not that bad, don't you think?

You hear his sleepy voice in your ear and a shiver runs through your body.

“Silver, are you okay?” your hand moves up to his head and you gently run your hand through his hair.

“Yes, I think we better get out of here quickly. I’m already starting to fall asleep.” Okay, it wouldn't be very good if he fell asleep here with you, would it? Guys from Diasomnia might also be looking for him.

“It’s not that bad, I don’t think I won’t be able to hold you in my arms for a while.”

Just as you finish your humorous thought, he lifts his head and feels his cheeks burning. Okay, maybe after your words he almost stopped feeling sleepy.

You put a little pressure on the back of his head and he puts his head on your shoulder. If you don't mind, he's really ready to fall asleep right now.

You begin to stroke his back with your other hand and he is ready right now to just stay in your arms.

When he is almost falling asleep, at the moment he says, “That’s probably why I like you so much.” And you feel pressure on your shoulder.

Okay, maybe you weren't ready for this revelation. Perhaps you don’t mind spending some time like this, but you understand how your whole body will hurt later.

You gently kiss his head and try to remember to talk to him about it when he wakes up. The characters do not belong to me, they belong to their rightful owners, please do not edit, translate, repost my works on other platforms, also without my permission and @

a/n: So much is happening in this one... and it's so long...

"A reason, a season, or a lifetime."

Q paused his workout for a moment. Frowning at Min Ho in confusion, he asked him to explain furthermore. As he stopped massaging his face with the face roller, he sighed.

"Every relationship fits into one of those categories. I read it in a magazine."

Q, not caring much, resumed to working out. Meanwhile, you came out of your room and sat next to Min Ho.

"The point is," he continued. "Y/N and I are starting a relationship. And looking at how things were before between us, I believe we got together for a reason."

"You needed to get laid with a chick?"

You slapped Q's arm aggressively. "What a way to talk about me when I am right here!"

"Not for that, no." Min Ho chuckled. "She showed me that there was more than just casual dating, that it could be worth it."

You laughed and he looked at you weirdly. "What?"

"I'm talking about real feelings and you are laughing?"

"No, I believe you are being sincere and it's real sweet. But it does not fit you at all." you still laughed.

His jaw clenched. "It might not have been that worth it asking you to be my girlfriend, after all."

That shut you up real quick. After a small apology, he invited you in his arms to cuddle before placing a soft peck on the top of your head. You squirmed in comfort.

"Do I have to third-wheel?" Q whined.

"Don't be like this, you have Florian." you assured but it didn't seem to do the trick.

"Yeah..."

Min Ho immediately noticed the shift in his voice. "How are things with him?"

"He's going through some stuff, but I'm here for him."

"That's good. I'm sure he's glad to have you around." you smiled warmly at him.

Having complained about third-wheeling barely two minutes ago, to Q's luck, Dae and Kitty came to join in the living room, skipping before he took her in his arms. Telling each other sweet 'good morning's, the remaining three of you grunted in annoyance.

"And now I am fifth-wheeling." Q muttered to himself.

Min Ho gave the couple the side eye. "It's too early to be this cheery."

"I am this cheery." Kitty affirmed as she and Dae went to the kitchen counter to prepare coffee for everyone. "Not only because I have the most perfect boyfriend in the world-"

"Lucky you." you said as you sat down with Min Ho behind you, rubbing your arms.

"Thank you?" he gasped, offended.

Kitty chuckled before continuing. "But it has also come to my attention that I am failing most of my classes. That means that if I don't do amazing on the finals, I will flunk out of school."

"How is this making you cheery?" you asked.

"Well, if I dwell the fact that I was considered super smart at home and here I can barely keep up, I will start sobbing."

You, on the other hand, had never been doing any better. Your aunt was proud of you for integrating the school perfectly, your uncle praised your grades in his class, you had friends, a boyfriend... This was all too good to be true. You started to doubt that it was going to last, especially with finals coming up so soon.

"We still have a week." Dae spoke. "We're going to make study plans and everyone will help you."

Min Ho shook his head. "I'm very busy and Y/N-"

"Everyone." Dae said in a stern tone. "Guys, Kitty and I are finally together. I'm not going to let her fail out of this school now."

"Well, I'm in. I'll help with chem." Q said.

You raised your hand. "I could ask my uncle for extra exercises in history." you suggested to which Kitty thanked you.

"She definitely needs to work on her Korean." Min Ho mumbled.

"What did you just call me?" Kitty asked angrily, immediately taking offense.

"Exactly." he deadpanned at her.

Dae assured her he'll be helping her with the rest. Being top student, he was the perfect tutor for her. Clinging your mugs of coffee together, you started to get ready afterwards. However, Min Ho did not let you go back to your room and grabbed you by the arm to kiss you.

"I'd love doing that, but I need to change."

He pouted but let go of you. "We can't have a moment to us in this dorm."

You could only laugh at him. You simply adored how much of a softy he was to you.

Tutoring Kitty was either easy or hard. It depended on how motivated she was and, most of the time, she was only discouraged.

"You've got 53%" you said sadly as you gave her back the sheet of paper.

Your uncle happily gave you exam practices for Kitty to study, but with this one being the fourth she did already, you were starting to feel like she was a lost cause. Plus, the library was fully packed since everyone was studying.

"Great." she grunted before dropping her head into her arms.

"It's four percent better than last time."

"And that's what's going to help me pass, yes."

She made a good point. You sprawled on your chair and sighed heavily with her. It looked as if it was the two of you who were failing. And Min Ho just had to confirm that when he sat with you with his Korean lesson books to take over Kitty's tutoring.

"Aren't you two adorable." he teased you and you stuck out your tongue at him. "I'm serious, you are cute."

"Ew." Kitty said in disgust.

"Not you. Y/N." he specified. "I believe it's time to work on your Korean now."

Kitty shook her head. "I am on the verge of dropping out myself. Give me five minutes."

He frowned before glancing at you. "I'm assuming history didn't go well."

"Nope." you chuckled. "I'm sure she'll get the hang of it... We just need to study more."

She let out a whine. "Study, study, study... this is all I've been doing today."

"Stop complaining, you asked us to help you." Min Ho said, frustrated.

He convinced her to get into studying Korean and you stayed with them, having nothing else to do. She started to get the hang of the the basics but it was still very bad. By the end of it, she was able to tell what were some verbs and such.

"Are you coming back to the dorm with me?" she asked while taking her bag to head out.

Min Ho held you by the waist as you walked. "Not today. I have prepared something very special for my girlfriend."

You looked away from him in an attempt to hide your blush. "Another surprise?"

"You can't have enough of them. Don't worry, I think you will like it a lot."

"I'll love it for sure if I'm with you."

Kitty groaned. "I think I preferred it when you were cussing each other out."

"Says the one who is too cheery when she's with Dae."

That shut her up and she parted ways with you, leaving Min Ho laughing with pride. You shook your head in disapproval.

"What? It wasn't even mean."

"Nothing. So, what's the surprise?"

He smirked. "You'll see."

You took a stroll around campus, hand in hand, and he eventually left the grounds to lead you somewhere. Just there, his chauffeur was waiting for you. You skeptically hopped in and he drove off. Being driven away when you didn't know the destination was usually a sign to run away. But you trusted Min Ho, maybe more than you should.

It wasn't even twenty minutes after that he pulled over in front of Han River. A typical date in Seoul. Getting off the car, Min Ho took your hand to help you out and you followed the trail while admiring the view.

"This is so cheesy." you laughed.

"Stop that, it's cute."

You snorted. "I'm sure you brought other girls here."

He smiled in shame. "Fair. But I didn't like any of them as much as you."

Your face became red. A couple of steps later, something popped in your mind. You grew tense and he felt it. As he halted his movements, he rubbed your shoulders while asking you what was wrong.

"What happened with Lulu?"

He gulped. "Should it matter?"

"Kind of."

He sighed and resumed to walking with you. "I went out with her the night after you literally saved my ass. We made out, sure, but I haven't talked to her since."

You nodded. "Okay, and was there anyone else?"

He shook his head violently. "I couldn't get you off my mind after I..." he paused and coughed. "Well, it doesn't matter."

You began to connect the dots. "You had a sex dream about me."

He coughed again. "No."

"So Q was right." you giggled. "How was it?"

"I did not have a sex dream about you."

"Awe, Min, don't be shy."

He looked away and you kept on laughing at him. He fastened his pace in silence. You called out for him and tried to catch up to his pace. He refused to look back at you. But once you did reach him, you were left speechless. On a picnic table, he had delicately placed candles and lights as well as some pillows for comfort. The best wasn't even that. It was the food. You spotted kimbap, japchae, tteokboki, kimchi... The amount was overwhelming.

"I'm... wow." you breathed out.

He walked up to you and hugged you from behind. "I thought we could use a night to ourselves."

You smiled widely. "This is perfect, no one has done something like this for me before."

"Expect to get more of this. Shall we?"

You sat down face to face and he helped you with serving yourself, asking what you wanted to taste first. Every single dish was delicious, you couldn't get enough of it. Min Ho watched you eat, satisfied with how the surprise turned out.

"When did you even cook this?" you asked, still having a bite of kimbap in your mouth.

"I used my chauffeur's kitchen and I missed my classes today."

Your face fell. "Min Ho..."

"It was my pleasure, darling."

You grabbed his hand and stroke it with your thumb. "I love it but I don't want you to fall behind in school because of me."

He gave you a reassuring smile. "I'm doing great in all of my classes, don't worry."

After eating, you went on with your evening stroll. Talking about everything and nothing, it eventually got to the point where he discussed about his parents with you. He understood the lifestyle of his mother but it was starting to get to him more nowadays. If there was one person he loved more than anything, it was her. So being apart from her for so long, he suffered. The relationship with his father wasn't as pleasant. He had pretty much cut off ties with him, not approving of his new way of living life after the divorce.

"Do you miss him?"

He thought for an instant. "Sometimes. But I miss the old him, not what he has become."

"I'm sorry."

He huffed. "Don't be. I'm better off without him."

A silence took over and he stopped you to observe the river. He wrapped his arms around you while you did the same around his torso.

"How did you do when they passed?"

The question took you by surprise, although it shouldn't have since you were already on topic. "I was empty inside. I lost a lot of friends who were sticking to me only for the wealth. I fought a lot with my aunt who didn't even plan on having children and she suddenly had this kid coming to live with her. It was..."

He saw you choke up on your words and brought his hands to your face to stop you from talking any more. "Hey. You don't have to tell me."

"You asked."

He chuckled. "Yeah, but it doesn't mean I wanted to make you think about it all over again and break in front of me."

You got up on your tiptoes – him being the giant he is – and you kissed him. While it was sweet and delicate at first, Min Ho took the lead quickly. Holding you tighter, he deepened the kiss, almost leaving you breathless.

"Shouldn't we get back to the dorm? Curfew is soon."

He didn't want to but you were right. You went back to the car and the driver drove you back to campus.

You didn't know whether it was you or him who started it, but both of you were needy. Walking in the dorm, you couldn't keep your hands off each other as you kept on stealing kisses every two seconds.

"Guys, we're busy here." Q deadpanned at the two of you as he pointed to Kitty with her school books.

Getting his coat off, Min Ho proceeded to help you with yours. "So are we."

Kitty groaned. "Well, don't do that here."

He gave her a look. "But you are all over Dae all the time here, yes."

You dragged him into his room before he would say another stupid thing. As soon ad the door closed, his lips were back on yours. He lost no time in helping get your vest off, both of you still in your school uniforms.

"You're so impatient." you said in-between the kisses.

"Maybe."

You found him shirtless seconds later and you stepped back to his bed. Laying you down, he topped you and started to work on your neck, sucking on your skin. He brushed your thigh gently before giving it a squeeze. You let out a gasp. You felt him smile against your skin. You brought up to your lips again and started to feel him up and you touched his abdomen. His efforts in looking his best truly paid off, you couldn't find him any hotter.

"You're so pretty." he rasped out.

"You're the pretty one."

"You're right."

You slapped him slightly and he laughed. "I think I love you."

You immediately froze. He pulled back slightly before stuttering incoherent words. You only blinked, which made Min Ho sweat. Why weren't you saying anything?

"Y/N?"

You pushed him off and placed yourself so you were laying facing one another. Putting your hand on his jaw, you stroke his cheek softly.

"I love you, too."

The first thing you saw was Min Ho's bare back. You could hear him breathe calmly as the rays of sunshine hit his skin perfectly. So... You slept in his room... Nothing too odd. You were his girlfriend, after all. You tried to get out of bed carefully to not waking him up. But it didn't work as he turned around and brought into his arms, stopping your from getting out of bed.

"Good morning." he mumbled.

"I didn't want to wake you."

"Too late." he said, stretching his arm out.

"Get ready, I'll go make you a cup of coffee."

He grinned and gave you a small kiss. "You're just too perfect, aren't you?"

You walked out of his room to let him change and freshen up and were startled when you saw Yuri sit with Kitty and Dae. You slowly went to make coffee, confused.

"Hi, Y/N." Yuri smiled at you.

"What is happening?"

"I came out to my mom, moved out of the penthouse, and here I am! Living with you!"

You perked an eyebrow at her. "You came out?"

"Yeah, it was hard, but I feel so much better."

"Oh my God, that's great! I'm so happy for you."

She smiled even more. "Thank you."

"Yuri started to help me with history. Want to join?" Kitty asked.

In the meantime of your hot beverage being ready, you sat with them and asked questions to Kitty. You were happy to see she was able to answer most of them easily.

"Timeline of the later Three Kingdoms." Yuri read out loud the memo card, laying on her back while her legs were slumped on the couch, in-between Dae and Kitty.

"890 to 936." she answered automatically.

"The first political state?" you asked in your turn.

"Gojoseon." she said in a broken Korean.

"Gojoseon." Dae corrected her and she repeated properly.

"What is happening?"

You hadn't even notice Min Ho coming out of the room and was now leaning on your seat, rubbing your shoulder softly. You put your hand on top of his and he gave you a quick smile before focusing on Yuri again.

"I moved in!" she answered happily, proceeding to sit up properly.

"What? Why?" he looked to all three of them. "Are you a throuple now?"

"No." they all answered.

"I'm gay." Yuri said and Min Ho seemed to be even more lost so she continued. "I came out to my mom, moved out of the penthouse. Scared, excited..."

"Wait." he stopped her. "You've been gay this whole time?"

"It's not a choice."

"I know, I mean..." he began to say but stopped mid-way. "So you and Dae... you were in a fake relationship?" They nodded. "So Kitty was right?"

Kitty smiled proudly. "I told you I know matchmaking."

His body tensed. "You're not mad at Dae? He lied, and lied, and lied..."

You tensed in your turn. Because you lied as well.

"I was mad." Kitty affirmed. "But then I forgave him, and Yuri, and Y/N-"

"Wow." he scoffed.

He retracted his hand from you and took a step back. You felt your heart pound as anxiety crept in, and not the kind you would feel when something good was about to happen. The kind you'd feel when something bad was coming.

"You're as trusting as my dad's third wife."

"Hey." Dae got defensive. "Kitty and I are good. Leave it alone."

"I'm not good."

The tone of his voice sent a shiver down your spine. At that point, he was ignoring your presence.

"You lied to me, too." he continued. "A lot. I wouldn't do that to a friend."

He slowly dared to glance at you and you gulped. You stood up next to him. "Min Ho..."

"Or someone I care about." he said more softly, though you could hear the pain. "I just wouldn't."

He left abruptly, shutting the door of his room harshly. Meanwhile, you felt the tears prick in your eyes. Things were just starting to be good for you, and you had to mess it all up.

"Finals." Yuri exhaled. "Makes everyone crazy."

You gave her a look but she shrugged and went back to asking Kitty questions. Feeling the need to get away from all of this, you went to get changed and left the dorm. A walk seemed to be exactly what you needed.

So why wasn't it doing anything? You felt nothing but emptiness as you walked by other students. You plugged in your earbuds to block out the outside world and spaced out, heading to nowhere precisely. You checked your phone after a while but you got nothing from Min Ho. You couldn't blame him for being mad at you, you were supposed to trust him the most. You trusted him the most. You were submerged with guilt and, as your mind came back to reality, you were standing in front of the administration of the school. You didn't even need to knock as your aunt had already opened the door of her office only from the sight of you in her window.

"Hey, I didn't know you'd stop by." she cheerfully greeted you but her smile dropped once she took in what state you were in. "Oh, dear. Come on in."

She offered you tea and even if you didn't feel like eating or drinking, you let her make a cup for you. She cleaned up her desk a little to make space and sat in front of you, waiting for you to speak.

"Can I stay over tonight?"

Her eyes softened. "Of course, anytime. Now, tell me what happened."

You took a deep breath. "I don't know. Things got complicated, I guess."

She nodded her head slowly. "I see. I won't tell you what to do but know that I'm always here for you if anything. Time will fix everything, I promise."

You huffed with a smile. "That's what they all say."

"Because it's true." she chuckled and then glanced at the clock in her office. "Your classes start soon. I'll make you a good meal for tonight."

Min Ho: I'm getting coffee with Dae. Do you want me to get you something?

You scoffed at the text. Although you were surprised he was the one to reach out first, this was not the text you thought he'd send.

Min Ho: You saw my message, I know it.

Y/N: I won't be at the dorm tonight, so no thanks.

Min Ho: Where are you?

Y/N: I'm fine.

Min Ho: I didn't ask how you were doing, idiot. I asked where you are.

Y/N: Are you still mad at me?

Min Ho: Yes..?

Y/N: Okay, then I'm not at the dorm to leave you space.

Min Ho: It's not because I'm mad that I don't worry about you. Where are you? I'm picking you up.

Y/N: Don't.

Min Ho: Please.

Y/N: It's only going to worsen things. You'll stay mad, it'll be awkward, and then we both won't be able to sleep.

Min Ho: We'll talk, I promise.

Y/N: Fine. I'm at my aunt's.

You got up from bed and went to the front door. Your uncle, still awake, watched you leave in silence.

"Be careful out there." he said before going back to reading his book.

"I will. Thank you for tonight, it was nice."

He gave you a smile and you left. You waited by the porch of your front door and saw a fancy car coming only a couple of minutes later. You went inside where Dae and Min Ho were seated, coffees in hands. Min Ho passed you an ice americano and you hummed as to thank him. The ride was, as you predicted, awkward as hell. Dae was fidgeting with the hem of his shirt in uneasiness and Min Ho was sipping on his drink every five seconds, visibly nervous.

And the walk to the dorm wasn't any better. As soon as you walked in, you announced you were going to bed. Min Ho immediately stopped you and asked Dae for some time alone with you. Finally just the two of you, you sat on the couch and he copied you.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he finally broke the silence.

You exhaled loudly. "That morning when Kitty ran away, Dae came to our room to talk with her and said it was fake. But then you opened the door, I was there, he didn't know because he left before he saw me. Then I asked Yuri about it and she begged me to keep it to myself."

He hummed. "Okay. I get it for back then because we both didn't like each other. But what about after?"

You shrugged. "It wasn't for me to tell you. I swear I just wanted to have nothing to do with all of it."

He took your hand in his. That's a good start.

"From now on, don't lie to me like this again."

You nodded and that's all it took for him to bring you into his embrace. You melted at the touch and engulfed your head in his shoulder.

"I'm sorry."

He hushed you. "It's okay. I might have overreacted."

You laughed in agreement. The rest of the evening went on smoothly. He invited you to stay with him for the night and he pulled his laptop to his bed so you could watch something together. Dae complained a few times about the volume and the giggles you would slip out every now and then. Other than that, you felt at peace. You were just content that things were back to normal, and you fell asleep soon after.

You groaned loudly as Yuri kept on blabbering about the talent show. To help Kitty get ten percent bonus on her exam, she gathered as many people as she could to do a traditional dance. That was the condition Lee put in place to boost the notes. And you were not left out of it.

"We have to help her, Y/N."

You played around with the food in your plate as another sigh left your mouth. "I don't know, Yuri."

"You'll get ten percent more, too."

You shook your head. "I already have excellent grades, I don't need bonuses."

"She's your friend."

"So is she yours, and you're already doing it. She doesn't need both of us."

She rolled her eyes at you. "The more, the better."

You then saw a guy from your English class walk to your table. Byungwon, if you remembered well. He used to go to school with you and Yuri during middle school. Apart from brief 'hi's and nods of acknowledgement, you hadn't talked to him in years.

"Can I sit here?" he smiled at you.

Yuri frowned. "Why?"

"My friends are at practice for the swimming team."

"I thought you were in the team as well." you said.

"Injured. I'm left alone."

Forming your mouth in a 'o' shape, you gestured for him to sit with you. "How have you been?"

"Great, apart from the injury. I haven't talked to you two in so long. I figured we could catch up." he beamed at you.

Yuri chuckled. "Yeah, we did draw apart with time. I figured you were living your new life well, you know? Part of the swimming team, girls all over you, good grades..."

He blushed. "You're making it seem bigger than it is. I could say the same for you two. You have quite grown well." He looked at you. "And you look great."

You felt the heat rush to your face, so you focused on your food instead, clearing your throat in the process. "You too." you mumbled.

Yuri's eyes flickered between him and you, a smirk slowly creeping on her face. She knew you used to like him, and so the opposite. Visibly, old feelings easily came back. Though she would have usually teased you about it, she rooted for your relationship with Min Ho. If anything, you were simply taken aback from Byungwon's sudden reappearance.

"You still like her." she teased the guy who instantly gulped.

"No."

You wanted to punch her just there and then. "Yuri."

She shook her head. "Or maybe not. But just so you know, she's taken now."

"I know." he said. "I simply want to catch up, that's all."

A couple of tables further from yours, Q was poorly trying to calm Min Ho down. The latter was fuming. All he could see was the sweet smile Byungwon was shooting at you and the giggles you let out with pink appearing on your cheeks. He knew you wouldn't do anything close to cheating on him, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to be worried about you leaving him for someone else. Adding the fact the two of you began your whole dynamic with hate, he was slightly worried you still had that kind of feeling towards him.

"Min Ho, they're just talking." Dae said, growing discouraged.

"I'm not jealous, I'm just saying that he doesn't need to be so close to her."

"He's only sitting next to her."

He pointed at you. "Did you see that? He offered her his drink!"

"Yeah..." Q sighed. "Not jealous."

Back to you and Yuri, she abruptly got up announcing practice for the talent show was about to start. She gave you an intense look and you knew what she was doing. It most likely was not time for practice but this was your opportunity to get away from this awkward situation.

"Right, we have to go." you coughed out.

"And I'll help you get ready for your date after." she added and your eyes grew bigger at her.

"Ah." Byungwon said, slightly disappointed. "You and Min Ho are real serious."

"They are." Yuri nodded. "Let's go. See you around!"

She crossed her arm with yours before you went out of the cafeteria. You could do nothing more but follow her lead.

"I swear I thought you were going to make him make a move on me."

She laughed. "I might not think Min Ho is the best guy to date, but I know you love him. Plus, it's not the first time I've seen Byungwon look at you like that."

"Really?"

"Yeah. But now, that means you have no choice but to participate in the fan dance with us."

You groaned in defeat. As much as you loved her for saving your ass, you also hated her.

"Hi, baby."

"Hey-"

You were cut short as Min Ho eagerly kissed you, long enough for people around to either giggle at you or make noises of disgust. It wasn't an innocent kiss either, he was going for it.

"I missed you." he said after pulling back but still holding your hand to walk with you to the auditorium.

"You saw me this morning."

"Not in front of swimmer guy."

Your eyes shut closed. "You saw that, the other day."

"Yeah." Min Ho said as a matter-of-factly. "And I did not appreciate him eyeing my girlfriend like she is some meat."

You patted his shoulder. "Awe, is my little pup possessive?"

He glared at you. "I thought we agreed on stopping with this nickname. Makes us sound like we are furries or something."

You shrugged. "I still like it. But thank Yuri, she's the one who saved me from him that day."

He kissed the top of your head. "Glad to know she's on our side. Now, how are you feeling?"

"Ashamed, depressed, and on the verge of crying."

He frowned. "I'm not sure if you are referring to your feelings towards the wait for your grades or the talent show."

"Can't it be both?"

He laughed and rubbed your hand softly with his thumb. "You'll do great, for both of them."

While he was not allowed to, Min Ho insisted profoundly in coming with you backstage. Saying he didn't want to watch the whole thing and only your performance so you could leave together in advance, he was only disappointed when you sent him back to his seat with Dae.

You walked up to Madison who was crouched next to a machine. "Hey, what are you doing?"

She squealed. "Fireworks, for my next performance."

"You perform twice?"

"Yeah, K-pop."

You rolled your eyes and gave her the fans. Of course she had to do a K-pop dance. You finished up to get ready by fixing parts of your hanbok.

"Yuri-ah."

You weren't sure what Principal Lim was doing backstage to run to her daughter, especially since they hadn't talked since Yuri moved in with you.

"I want you to come back home." she continued but Yuri only gave her the eyeroll. "I'll talk to Alex. I'll make sure you can get to know him."

"Alex?" she said in confusion. "Alex, who?"

Principle Lim froze. "Oh, I just assumed that Kitty-"

"Wait, Alex is my brother?"

And here was another drama happening right in front of you. You learned your lesson to not get involved, so you went to the other girls to ignore what was happening. It wasn't even a minute later that you were up to go on stage. You wanted to bury yourself alive from how embarrassed you were. Not because you were ashamed of your culture, but you weren't a dancer. This was, in no way, one of your strengths.

"How could you not tell me?" Yuri spoke as the performance began.

You tried your best to block them out but they weren't so quiet.

"I thought Alex was my brother and that my mom was the one who was pregnant." Kitty explained. "It wasn't until we snuck out of detention that day and went to Lee's house-"

"Wait, you've known since detention?"

You subtly shushed them and went on to your next move. They seemed to get the message and you were happily back to focusing on your dance.

"How could you hide this from me?"

You mentally cursed them out.

"It wasn't my place to-"

"To be honest?

Madison groaned. "Guys, I'm trying to focus."

This might have been one of the few times you were thankful to her. But your friends being themselves, they continued to bicker.

"I wasn't not honest, I just-"

"Lied by omission?" Yuri interrupted her again.

"You lied all semester about being with Dae on purpose, and I got past it, and now we're friends."

"We were friends." Yuri corrected her.

And with Kitty being Kitty, she clumsily stepped on her robes and tripped, knocking off the firework machine. Fire came out and the whole auditorium stood up in panic, Kitty first as the fabric of her hanbok caught on fire. She stepped back, panic across her face as she stared at the flame. You looked from afar, worried about her and unsure if you should put yourself in danger as well to help her.

You got your answer quickly when you saw your boyfriend running to her. He took his jacket off as he help her sit down on the ground, and crouched down while putting the fire out. She squirmed for a bit until there was no more flame. You observed them as he helped her relax and something seemed off to you. You weren't exactly sure what, but you knew it made you feel sick. It wasn't until Dae arrived that Min Ho went to you, hugging you tightly.

"Are you okay? You're not hurt?"

You didn't hug him back and only nodded. "I'm fine."

He placed his hands on your cheeks. "This girl is so clumsy, she could have put all of you in grave danger."

You cleared your throat. "Yeah, luckily, you saved her."

You pushed his hands away and walked further from the stage. He caught up with your pace and took your hand.

"Hey, are you sure you're good?"

You didn't know what to say. You only stared at him in silence, feeling the lump in your throat growing bigger and bigger.

For Jack Harlow “I’m so lucky to love you.”

After Brooklyn let it slip that she had a crush on a boy in her class, Jack was handling it about how you expected he would. While you knew it was nothing more than a surface level infatuation, so common for girls her age, Jack's head was spinning at the thought of his baby girl liking someone.

"Who is this boy? Do we even know anything about him?" Jack was rattling off questions as he helped you with the dishes after dinner. The girls were in their rooms and you were glad they couldn't hear their father freak out.

"Jack-", you let out a sigh as you dried off the final plate.

"Is he a good student? What does he even look like?" Jack didn't even notice you finished, he was so preoccupied on his phone, trying to find the kid on social media. "Have you ever met him?" His eyes were focused on the screen.

"No, I haven't", you admitted, grabbing a wine glass and giving yourself a heavy pour. "How do we know he's not a delinquent?"

"Jackman." His head shot up when you used his full name. "What?"

"Put the phone down baby. I promise you're not gonna find a mugshot on there or a criminal record. He's a third grader." Jack let out a deep breath, his shoulders slumping over. "Do you at least know his name?", he sounded pitiful, and you couldn't help feel bad for him.

"Yes, his name is Patrick, he's a good student, and on the youth basketball team. He's a pretty good player."

"What kind of name is Patrick?" Jack scrunched his nose at the name.

"Babe, don't start, please. Just be happy for her. This is the most excited I've ever seen her in a very long time." You draped your arm over Jack's shoulders, his hand finding your waist. He tipped his head over as you pressed a kiss on his jawline, your lips lingering against his beard.

"You know this is your fault right?" Jack looked at you, chuckling at your confused face. "I wanted to homeschool them, but you thought it would make them weird. Look at what happened." You pushed away from him at the chest. "Go put your children to bed, Jack", you threw over your shoulder as you grabbed your glass of wine and headed to the living room to catch up on some Real Housewives.

Jack put Aaliyah to bed and headed to Brooklyn's room. She was hovered over her desk, her back to the door.

"Brookie, its time for bed. Put your homework up." Jack cleaned up a few things in the room. "Its not homework. I'm writing a letter."

"Ok, well the letter can wait till tomorrow. Bed, please." She turned off the desk lamp and placed her letter in the top drawer. Jack helped her climb into bed, tucking her underneath the covers.

"Daddy, how did you know that you loved Mama?" The question caught Jack off guard. He settled down at the foot of her bed, one of her stuffed animals occupying his hands. "Well, I just knew from the moment I laid eyes on her that I was going to love her for the rest of my life. Why do you ask?" He brushed a stray curl out of her face.

"I don't know if I love Patrick or not." Jack gulped. He was having enough trouble with the thought of her liking a boy, and now throwing the "love" word around had him sick to his stomach. "I don't think I do, not how you and Mama love each other."

Jack couldn't help but laugh to himself. The only display of love that Brooklyn knew was from the two of you, so it was easy for her to jump and think her crush would make her feel the same way. "Trust me, baby, when you love someone you'll know, okay?" She nodded, but Jack wasn't sure she completely understood and honestly he was okay with that.

"I'm writing him a letter to ask him to be my friend first. I don't even know what kind of tv shows he likes to watch yet." Brooklyn giggled, covering her mouth.

Jack couldn't help the breath he let out at hearing that. "I think that's a great idea, Brookie. You can love friends and family too. Those loves are important too."

"Like you and Uncle Urby!", she exclaimed, making Jack smile. "Exactly, just like Uncle Urby. I'm so lucky to love you, Aaliyah, and Mama, too. You three are the greatest loves of my life."

"Goodnight, Daddy. I love you", Brooklyn called out as her eyelids began to close. Jack stood, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight, B."

// i love merfolk, so i figured..why not write a skeleton oneshot with a merman blue? 💙 As always, gender neutral Reader. Their soul is up for interpretation! 💜 Ao3 link will be provided once it's posted there! (I am so sorry for my fic readers that get a bunch of oneshots instead of updates..) 💛 bonus points if somebody gets the barbie reference in here

🫧 Into The Sea 🌊

The ocean waves sway beneath you, the sound all too familiar. Your hair blows gently in the breeze, that salty ocean air filling your senses. You smile, comforted by the atmosphere.

In truth, you hadn't expected to come out here to begin with. But since your friend had an extra ticket for a popular cruise line in the area..how could you refuse? Plus, it's a great opportunity to see the sea life you're normally not that close to.

Speaking of said friend, they walk over to you and lean their arms on the rail beside you.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" They ask, grinning. "I'm glad I could ask you to come with me. Sights like these just wouldn't be the same alone." "Thanks for asking me to. Beats staying at home by myself, right?" "Couldn't have said it better. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll see some of the Mer." "Mer? As in merfolk? I thought those were myths?" You turn to them, a brow raised. "Oh no, they're very real. I've asked a few people around and they said they've caught glimpses of tails moving through the water out here at night. They must be looking for food or something." They shrug. "Huh..how unusual. I wonder what they look like.." You look back to the water, a bunch of ideas flowing through your head as you wonder about these unfamiliar creatures you'd only heard about in tales. "Me too. Maybe we'll spot one."

If there were merfolk out here, would they even approach? Surely they would be curious about this large structure during the water. But then again, they may have experience with these sort of things and wish to stay away. Which, of course, you'd completely understand should you be in their situation. Who knows how many hunters have gone out here to try and catch them for fame?

"It'd definitely be a sight." You lean on them, trying to spot any unusual colors in the water. For a moment you perk up at the sight of a tail, but it just turns out to be a dolphin.. you still say hello to it, though.

Things are peaceful for a bit, before you look up to notice that there are dark grey clouds forming in the sky; a storm's coming. Better get inside before something happens.

"Let's go in. I don't want to get caught in this rain." You suggest, pointing at the nearest door leading into the ship. Your friend agrees, walking inside with you and grouping up with several other passengers on board. An announcement is said over the intercom:

"Attention to all of our passengers, please remain calm. A storm is currently approaching us and should be moving out of this area shortly. Please remain indoors at all times and near a safe space until the coast is clear. Thank you."

"I wonder how bad of a storm it'll be?" You ask no one in particular, looking outside at the increasingly growing darker sky and the waves. Your friend perks up, having been focused on something else. "Hopefully not bad enough to end our trip early. It's been so fun here!" They comment, holding up their phone to check the weather and showing you.

It seems a big thunderstorm is arriving, lightning along with it. The winds will be moving like crazy.. You silently hope it doesn't knock out the ship's power somehow. Your friend rests their hand on your shoulder, a reassuring gesture but also to get your attention as you're snapped out of your thoughts.

"Hey, I'm gonna go get us some drinks. You gonna be alright on your own? I can stay or you can go with me if not." They offer, gesturing to a room nearby that leads to the dining area.

You nod. "Yeah, I'll be fine. You go on ahead, I'll wait here."

"Okay! Be back in a sec!" They run off, quickly dodging anybody that walks too close to them. You feel around in your pocket for your phone so you can watch something to pass the time, but..it isn't there. You were sure you placed it there earlier!

..That's right. You brought it outside with you. It must still be out there, you hope it hasn't already gotten wet!

You contemplate leaving your friend before deciding you'll just walk right back in, so you rush outside out of anyone's view to go and retrieve your phone. The wind harshly blows your hair behind you as well as your clothes, the rain gently hitting you from above and falling from the sky like thousands of tears.

Sure enough, your phone's exactly where you left it, beside the chair you'd been sitting in while getting some sun earlier. You carefully walk over to it, dodging the wind as you move as best you can to grab it. Once you finally have it in your hands, you're relieved that somehow it remained untouched.

Your friend rushes out, presumably having looked out the window and saw you, running over and almost slipping.

"Hey! Be careful out here, the wind's insane! What are you even doing?" They shout, holding onto the railing beside the two of you.

"I was just getting my phone, I left it out here and really did not want to lose it."

"Okay, well, just give it to me for now. I don't want you to lose it again and throw yourself into more danger." They hold out their hand, and you place it in their hand before the two of you begin walking back to the door you came out here from.

The wind picks up, much stronger than before. The ship slightly tilts due to the power of it, causing you to fall right onto the rail.

Your friend calls out your name as you reach out to them, before you're abruptly shoved back again, falling over the rail. They try their hardest to pull you back up, but in the end you ultimately fall into the water.

"Someone help! My friend just fell overboard!" You can hear them shout as they rush back inside. You hit the water abruptly, struggling to swim back up.

You fight, swimming as hard as you can, trying to reach the surface without running out of breath. Yet it seems the water keeps somehow pulling you back down.. Tears prick at the corners of your eyes as you continue to try, before you eventually fall unconscious from the lack of air..

A brief flash of bright blue fills your vision before your eyes shut. You sink slowly down into the sea..

Someone swims up to you. You can't see him, because you're out cold. He's beautiful; a mer-skeleton that had seen you fighting before you fainted, wanting to help you. His bright blue tail glistens beneath the water, his arms having tattoo-like blue markings along them as well as his ribcage. His bright blue eyelights dart over you in a worried manner as he finally reaches your sleeping form. He looks up to the surface before realizing you need air, holding you in his big strong arms as he swims up to the surface.

He pops his head out of the water before pulling you out with him. There's no response from you..

His eyelights dart around before he spots a set of rocks, swimming over and lying you down before pressing down on your chest. He repeats this process a few times, before saying distressed words in a language you probably wouldn't understand, were you awake to hear.

He apologizes, closing your nose and lifting your chin before pressing his teeth to your lips and blowing air in.. somehow, leaning up to take a breath before doing it one more time.. the moment he raises his head again, you spit out water, coughing as your eyes slowly blink open, filled with tears. You take deep breaths as you sit up, the skeleton resting his hand on your back as he supports you.

You look over your savior..a beautiful skeleton merman, who's greeting you with a warm smile. He seems to be relieved that you're okay. So they really do exist.. that's..crazy. And to think one just saved your life..

"Thank you." You say, hoping that somehow he'll understand if there's a language barrier. He pauses for a second, before letting out a quiet gasp and nodding, seeming to have understood.

You turn your head towards the ship, pointing to it. "Can you take me back? My friend is waiting."

He tilts his head a little, so out of curiosity, you try signing the words out to him. His eyelights widen a little bit, and he signs back.

'You Can Sign?' 'Yeah, learned how.' 'That's Great! I Should Take You Back Now Before Your Ship Leaves.' 'Thank you!'

He picks you up in a bridal carry of sorts, motioning for you to hold on before quickly swimming up to the boat. A ladder is quickly dropped down by some staff members for you to climb. You grab onto it, turning to the stranger.

'Thank you again. What's your name?' 'Blue! And You're Welcome, Human!'

You smile at him, pressing a small kiss to his cheek, causing his face to flush a bright shade of blue.

'I hope I'll see you again!' You climb up, hugging your friend who makes sure you're okay.

He gives you a wave, before disappearing into the sea.

"You have to tell me EVERYTHING." Your friend states, wrapping a towel around your shoulders as you walk inside.

"Yeah..let me get some time to think, first."

Reflections upon V6 by a first time watcher

As I have just finished v6, I'm jumping here to write this right away now that's everything's fresh and all.

-I think this is when the plot solidifies and takes a far more serious turn. We finally get the full story of the world, which is tied with Ozpin and Celium. The Ozpin/Dumbledore pararels continue. I had a hintch Ozpin was related to Salem some way or another - romantically or otherwise - especially when he claims very early on that he has made more mistakes than everyone else, and I was right. Their past is so tragic. It made me think however, that Ozpin lied about his resurrection. He claimed in previous volumes that he was being resurrected again and again because the Gods punished him for failing to stop Salembut that's not the case at all? He was given that ability to stop her, not as a punishment. Unless, he himself sees it as a punishment for siding with her at the very beginning. Now, as for Salem's immortality... I'm sure there is a way to get rid off her and I think it's very much relates to Ruby's silver eyes.

-The number 4 is a prevalent motif in the series from the beginning, but it was while watching volumes 6 that it solidified itself in my brain. The four members of team RWBY (or any other team in that regard), the four kingdoms/schools, the four maidens, the four artifacts and Ozbin and Celium's four children. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

-Pyrrha is truly haunting the narrative on both sides huh? The parallelism between Jaune finding Pyrrha's statue and regaining his hope vs Cinder who speaks about destiny (although in a much disrespectful manner as she doesn't even name Pyrrha).

-Bumbleby in particular but also Whiterose bloom this volume (haha, get it?). From Blake awkwardly trying to make things as they used to (although they will not quite be and that's okay) to the fight against Adam? Poetic cinema.

I loved the parallels between Blake holding Yang's prosthetic arm, a signifier of her promise to protect her, to her holding Yang's trembling hand during the fight with Adam, symbolizing her realization that she doesn't need to protect Yang, only for them to protect each other. Adam could tell something was going on before the hand holding though, LFMAO. Speaking of which, I'm not going to go into details about the Beauty and the Beast parallels because people have already discussed this thoroughly and better than I can articulate it. Another point for poetic cinema.

What kills me the most is the way Yang INSTANTLY runs to Blake and hugs her. Literally, right away. And don't get me started on the way they talk to each other:

-I will not break my promise. I swear.

-I know you won't.

The voice acting here was INSANE. The way Yang's voice breaks - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And the touching foreheads? The way they hold to each other's hands and arms? THEY INVENTED ROMANCE. I also find it very funny how insufferable they instantly become, like they're already holding hands every chance they get. NO DISCRETION AT ALL.

-"I'm so glad Yang was there for you", Weiss Shnee YOU ARE A REAL ONE since day one, God BLESS.

-Speaking of Weiss, her and Ruby too had their moments this volume, albeit a bit more discreetly, so to speak. We see just how much they trust each other. Ruby has so much faith in Weiss, even when Weiss is like "what if I didn't catch you?", her response is "but you did!". That said, I don't think it's a coincidence that they show us Weiss helping Ruby back on her feet in the opening.

-Ruby is really lucky to have Weiss this volume because Qrow was an absolute mess this time around, and although his response is humane, he also let a bunch children do all the work while he was getting drunk in his misery. The absolute AUDACITY when he tells Ruby she has grown up. SHE WAS FORCED TO!!!!!

-The Grim Reaper is such a fascinating character. I feel like she's going to be essential in teaching Ruby how to use her silver eyes.

-First glimpse at Summer Rose 👀. Excited to learn more about her.

first of all, i knew that kai dude was bad news!!

but let's start form the top!! gojo kicking the ball in the FACE??? ahhhh lost it!!! i thought he maybe aimed at kai but boy was (accidentally) aiming at her, nooo!!!

ahaha but the way he cared for her then 😭😭 my heart, so weak for this trope. also we got a kiss so a win is a win!!

“Go ahead,” he says, using his knee to spread your legs apart, then finds a place to stand between your thighs to get closer to you. “I’ve got a lot of ways I could shut you up.”

excuse me man. do not say this in front of me or i'll get wet. thank you. moving on!

“You were born blessed with talent, and you’re popular, and people adore you, and you don’t have to worry about internships, or jumping from job to job just to make something of yourself."

ugh, that moment when she breaks down about her depts and car repair bills and all that? it was so raw and real. it makes her even more relatable. loved that!!

“You don’t want me hanging out with them?” you repeat after him, “I’m not listening to that. Because it’s possessive. And it’s wrong.”

yes, yes yes!! tell him girl!!! put him in his place!!! love pissed fmc!! <33

“Does that make you feel better?” he asks. / “Does thinking of me that way—…does it make you feel better about all of this? Between us?”

bruh, satoru is THE sweetest in this story, and I'm LIVING for his soft boy energy! he has such a innocent and soft love for her, i could cry and vanish into thin air 😭😭

also the way he is ALL about her dreams and supporting her in her carrer. WEAK.

but then everything happening after, god i was so ANGRY with Kai and all his douchebag people!!! i was ready to throw hands through the screen!!!

but can we also talk about how our girl was holding her own even when those jerks were putting her and her dreams down? she's got a fire in her, and i love that she wasn't backing down! satoru's lucky to have someone so fierce by his side.

thank goodness satoru and his squad showed up when things got serious and protected her!! also that protective move in front of her? I DIED. It's official, i'm WEAK. just one word. WEAK.

can't wait to read the next chapter, in which satoru will surely move heaven and earth to show his love to her and i'm here for it!!! please shower me with all the fluff and smut.

i need ALL the cozy, heart-melting moments! ♡♡

honestly, this AU is EVERYTHING. you're painting such a vivid picture, i feel like i'm right there on campus, surrounded by hotties and drama!! what could someone ask more of? ♡♡

also want to add that i think you have an incredible ear for how people talk, with all their quirks and little inflections. reads so natural and authentic!! have a great day or night, whenever you read this!

OMG LOSTFRACTURES M00TIE <333 THANK U SM FOR UR ASK I COULD CRY RN

thank uuu im so glad you enjoyed her lash out 🥺💕 it was simultaneously very gratifying but also heartbreaking to write

if i’d known it was this easy to get you dressed up, i would’ve done it ages ago. < w shannon and mary or perhaps remind me to never let you plan date night again. < with lilith and ava?

thanks for the prompt! wrote most of this with @princington in mind (aka sheer soft gay) (aka I write like 75% of fic: dads for Prince to make up for war crimes)

Mary smoothes the lapels of her jacket flat over her collarbones and pulls her phone from her pocket, checking the time again. Just past the half hour. Late, but only slightly. She loops her finger through her key ring, jangles the keys against her palm.

The door buzzer rings. She gives it a moment before answering. "Hello?"

"Hey, it's Shannon. Sorry I'm late. Did you want to meet me in the lobby, or should I come up?"

"Very forward of you, Masters. I'll be down in a moment."

She turns off the lights and heads out.

Shannon's got her hands clasped behind her back as she surveys the postings on the building bulletin board. It gives Mary a moment unnoticed to observe her, which turns out to be a very good thing.

The boots that Mary has only ever seen dirt-encrusted or knocking about the back of Shannon's jeep have been buffed to shining. The navy suit is tailored, cut close to Shannon's body, highlighting the wide span of her shoulders, the dip of her waist. Her hair is done up in an intricately braided bun.

"Did you know someone's lost four pet parakeets in your building?" Shannon asks without glancing back towards her. "One, I could understand, but four? You'd think they'd manage to pull together a dash of self-awareness by number three and realise maybe bird ownership just wasn't for them."

Shannon turns towards her, and Mary's breath catches in her throat. She'd known blue was Shannon's colour, had heard often enough how glad she was that it was the jersey colour of her draft team, but knowing and seeing are two very different things. Being faced with the combo of light blue shirt and navy blazer, and the pocket square, and the tie?! Her first thought is that blue is definitely Shannon's colour. Her second thought is decidedly more explicit.

"If I'd known it was this easy to get you dressed up, I would’ve asked you to dinner ages ago." She makes a show of looking Shannon up and down. "You sure do clean up nice."

"And look at the lining!" Shannon unbuttons her jacket, pulls one side open to reveal cresting waves. "So dope!"

"Real cute, Shan."

"And 'clean up nice'?" Shannon asks, fumbling with her buttons. "Have you looked in the mirror, Mary?" She whistles. "You look gorgeous."

"Thanks, I try."

"I'm sorry again for being late," Shannon adds. "Your time is valuable and I've taken it up without explanation and–"

Mary reaches a hand out and Shannon takes it eagerly, lacing their fingers together. "Well, then, care to explain?"

"Suzanne called." Shannon ducks her head, but that does nothing to dim her smile.

Mary stops in her tracks, shoves at Shannon's shoulder. "Do you mean–"

"They gave me an entry-level contract," Shannon confirms, head coming back up, grin all but splitting her face in two. "I'm signed."

"Shan, that's amazing! Congratulations!" Mary tugs Shannon closer, one hand rising to curl around her tie. "Goddamn, you're in the big leagues now. Real all-star."

"Mary." The tips of Shannon's ears have gone pink, but she grins proudly all the same.

"I'm so fucking proud of you." Mary kisses Shannon's cheek, the corner of her mouth. "You're gonna do so well."

Shannon's hand finds her waist, curls in the hem of her jacket. "Mary," she repeats, a bit of a whine to her tone, "don't distract me. I was really looking forward to sushi."

"You say that every week."

"And every week I'm valid, but this time especially. I still can't believe you managed to get a reservation."

"What can I say, it pays to be good with your hands." Mary smirks. "I overhauled the head chef's transmission on a time crunch a couple months ago, so she owed me one."

"And I'm so lucky you're calling that favour in for me. Truly, this might end up the best day of my life."

"Might?"

"All depends on how the rest of the night goes," Shannon says, eyebrows arched. "Are you ready to head out?"

"After you."

#fic: dads #myfic #mywn #mary x shannon #ask #anon #ty for the prompt!#I should probably scrounge up the outfit inspo but I'm late and it's tired so someone remind me pls ig if that's smth people want #sister shannon #shotgun mary

AHHHHHH!!!!

COMET!!!!

I just woke up and saw your post!!! We need to hear all about the shirt! The interaction! The guitar pick! We need to see photos if you took any too!

You are so lucky!!!! I'm so glad that you had a good time and you got to go to TWO in a row! So fucking fabulous!!!!

Mine ritual is on Friday and I cannot wait!

This post and all of it's ridiculous extra exclamation points brought to you by the Gremlin.

GREMLIN. Photos/videos coming soon. I just put them all on my computer so I can actually look through them and pick out the good ones. But THE SHIRT. OK. Just for clarity, I'm referring to him as Sodo here, because this entire interaction was very much an interaction I had with The Man and not The Ghoul and I cannot bring myself to refer to him as Dewdrop in this particular scenario. But I'm not mentioning anything else related to unmasked Dew, except for that nickname that everyone else already knows. So, I've been joking around with my partner and a few other people for MONTHS about making a shirt that said "Sodo" on it because A) I adore him for many many reasons (not just Ghost). and B) what if he SAW IT!? What would he do!? So, like a week before my rituals I went to the craft store, found out that the stuff needed to make said shirt would be like...10 dollars, and said "fuck it." I was super nervous about it, convinced he was going to see it and think I was CREEPY or weird or some shit, but several people (including YOU) managed to convince me that it was going to be fine and he would not think that. And he might even appreciate it. So I made it, wore it to the ritual I had pit for. Ended up with the best barrier spot I could have asked for in that situation. Got my pick a few songs in--before he ever saw the shirt. He threw it at me but it fell short but I still got it! Immediately after the He Is solo, he turned toward us. I'd turned my phone light off because I didn't want to blind him, and my partner had angled his down for the same reason--which meant that it was pointing toward me. And I'm like reaching up to him, singing at him, and then he saw my shirt, fucking stopped short. Fucking lights were in my eyes so I could BARELY see him, but he dragged his finger over his chest to be like "your shirt!?!?" and pointed at me, and I mirrored that and nodded, and probably did something else with my hands, who knows. I don't remember, it's a blur. He nodded and gave me a thumbs up, so I threw him the heart hands and I blew him a kiss , and he blew one back. And then it was over and I just stared after him like "was that real?" It was the sweetest fucking thing and I just stood there in shock when it was over, as the guy next to me nudged me and grinned and gave me double thumbs up. I'm just like slack-jawed looking around like "did that ACTUALLY fucking happen?" Gremlin, I love that man so fucking much. His attention was laser focused on me from the second he saw it until he had to turn and leave to go play. And it just felt...genuine? like I had a sign language conversation with him and we were both genuinely happy about it. I'm getting fucking weepy thinking about it again. Like how am I allowed to love him more than I already did? HOW? There is no way for him to know how much those like 10 seconds meant to me. But I really hope that they meant something to him too, even if just for a moment. I feel so fucking privileged to be able to have this interaction, that the stars aligned so he actually saw the shirt. That he paused and made a point to acknowledge it, to appreciate it. To see me. It was really fucking special. TLDR: Dew/Sodo knows I love him. And that I exist. And I am a little unwell about it, and will never recover and I really don't want to.

Also, if anyone happens to have a clip of the end of He Is from the CT show where you can actually see this happen, I will love you for fucking EVER.

Lucky

Title: Lucky Pairing: Kris Statlander x Reader Prompt: "You feel like home to me." R WC: 792

"Are you watching?" Kris asked as she propped her feet up onto her hotel room bed. It wasn't too uncommon for Y/n to call her during the airings of AEW shows whenever she was on the road, but something felt different about this one. Usually Kris could hear their animals or background noise, but tonight it was quieter.

"Yes, I am watching and waiting patiently to see you," Y/n promised. Kris relaxed a little as she tried to get more comfortable. "Did you give Sandra my designs?"

"I did, and she hates you a little bit. When you're done with school, she's going to be on you about designing for the company," Kris said. Y/n smiled at the thought of getting to design wrestling gear for a company as big as AEW. She had grown up wanting to be a wrestler, but after about a year and a half of trying to balance that with college, she had given it up. The training had been too hard on her body anyways, there was no way she'd be able to have matches worthy of her opponents. She'd become someone who nobody wanted to work with, and that was the last thing she wanted.

"If Tony makes the offer, I'd be happy to go there. I'm surprised you're so okay with me not being your personal designer," Y/n joked. Y/n would have been fine only designing Kris's gear, but she was glad that Kris seemed so open to her working with other people. She felt lucky to have someone who was willing to let Y/n have time to carve her path towards her dream job. Going back to school had been a big decision for Y/n, but Kris had been supporting her through every step of the way. "Hey, I have to get off the phone real quick. Do you think that I could call you back in a minute?"

"Of course, I'll be right here," Kris said. Y/n hung up on her and Kris sat patiently waiting by the phone. Just a couple of minutes later, Y/n called her again. Kris happily picked up the phone to talk a little more with her girlfriend. "That was quicker than I expected."

"Yeah, well, I didn't want to waste a second of the time I have with you," Y/n said. Kris bit her lip as she thought about how much she missed Y/n.

"I miss you," Kris admitted. It wasn't necessarily like Kris to just let her guard down like that. She liked to keep things light and happy, but to Y/n, that moment was deadly serious. Y/n relished in the knowledge that Kris loved her so much for a moment. "I wish that you were here."

"I would really hate to cut this moment short, but I need to go. I love you," Y/n said.

"Love you too. Call me back as soon as you can baby," Kris said. Y/n hummed in agreement as she hung up the phone. Kris sat back and waited for Y/n to call her back. Kris closed her eyes for a moment and was just about to start drifting off to sleep when she heard a knocking on her hotel room door. Sighing and groaning about having to get up, Kris got out of bed and pulled the door open. She expected to see Willow or maybe one of the guys coming to check up on her, but instead, she saw Y/n standing in front of her. "I thought you were at home."

"I wanted to come and see you. I got out of some classes early this week, and thought there was nothing better to be doing with my time," Y/n explained. Kris didn't care how or why Y/n had gotten there, only that she could hug and hold her all night. Y/n could see that Kris was dying to pull her in for what would probably be one of the most bone crushing hugs she could. "Come here."

"God, I've wanted to do this for so long," Kris muttered as she pulled Y/n into the hotel room. Kris kicked the door shut behind her as she walked Y/n over towards the bed. They laid down together, and Kris knew that she wouldn't have to let go of Y/n for the rest of the night. "I think that we could be anywhere and still be happy."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, because you feel like home to me," Kris said. Y/n looked up at her and for a moment, she almost had to look away because the look in Kris's eyes was too much for her.

Let's take this asshole down. Through gambling and... time travel... something. I don't know. I do not understand the plan. Halara's playing this close to their chest.

But I trust Halara and that's good enough. GO TEAM ALARM CLOCK!

...they're excusing themselves from the table. Maybe the draw is the plan? A stall for time?

Whoopsy doodle.

I've always wondered how you're supposed to do that maneuver subtly. It shows up in so many things but it's always so obvious that it's a ruse. But. Is it obvious because I already know it's a ruse? I don't know.

...is... is that the whole plan? Why? Why is that the plan? I am super confused right now. Explain, senpai.

I suppose if we need a weapon you can probably cut him really bad with those glass shards but I don't understand how that helps us right now.

But okay. I'll throw the dice. And he'll throw his loaded dice. And then--

AND THEN THE VENGEFUL SPIRIT OF HIS PAST SINS WILL ENTER THE ROOM.

IT WAS A FUCKING SIGNAL.

^_^ It was a Lucky Day miracle. Gosh, I just feel so blessed. What were the odds that his trick dice would malfunction and that guy that fell from the rooftop would miraculously return to consciousness all at the same time?

What did I tell y'all? My fortune teller was right. It's protective rainclouds and roses ALL. DAY. LONG.

Sorry friend-o but 7 beats 8 and that means I win.

This was a great plan. Halara's the best. I'm glad we got to team up with them after all. Unlike that useless Desuhiko who completely bailed on us before we came into the casino.

Okay I was shitposting but no, Fubuki sincerely doesn't realize what Desuhiko's role in this plan was. XD I generally don't like when the game goes too hard on "LOL Bimbo" for Fubuki but that line was priceless.

Look at her. Poor Fubuki.

Halara's launching straight into the post-case debrief but Fubuki's over there staring into middle distance and questioning reality right now. Anyone could secretly be Desuhiko. How long was the rooftop faller Desuhiko? What if everyone is secretly Desuhiko?

What. If. I'm. Secretly Desuhiko?

That was Lucky Day powers at work! It's like I said. Just because the fortune teller was a paid corporate shill, that doesn't mean the fortune she read can't be real. Fate works in mysterious ways! You don't know!

This is a sweet moment for Halara. We're. Just. Going to ignore that Fubuki had to reload her save a couple of times to make that happen.

It still counts. I think most gamers would agree with that. Maybe not those perma-death tryhards....

WHY ARE YOU TRYING?

I don't think Fubuki would rewind to cheat on purpose in a friendly game with her colleagues. She's not going to go, "Oh, they had a good hand. Well, I'll just hop back in time and fold so I don't lose my chips."

I do, however, think Fubuki would innocently rewind because she shouldn't have given that card away, without even realizing that it's cheating.

Halara, you've created a monster. Still, I suppose maybe I should take back what I said too. Fubuki's got a good grasp of what would be an inappropriate use of her powers in this game. Instead, the real reason Desuhiko can't take her is obvious.

Because it's her motherfucking Lucky Day, y'all!

^_^ This was a good day. I enjoyed this substory quite a bit. Fubuki is, as expected, an utter treat to play as. The rapport between Fubuki and Halara is brilliant, and I want to see the two of them team up more.

100% would play Fubuki and Kurumi team-up spinoff. 100% would play Fubuki and Halara team-up spinoff. Fubuki, Kurumi, and Halara team-up spinoff? Solid motherfucking gold.

With one case where Halara wheels a container into the room as a special weapon to deploy against their adversaries. And when they open it up, Vivia's lying in there, ready to join up with them for this one chapter.

Just one, though. Not because I don't like Vivia. I adore Vivia. But because Vivia's a character who should be used sparingly. His whole vibe is "I will not do anything for 95% of this story. But when I do get up, shit gets real."

This was great. I was so happy.

You can still see Kodaka's disrespect for the character bleeding through. Desuhiko's chapter was all about Desuhiko trying and failing to solve his case, while Halara more or less takes over Fubuki's case for her own good. Fubuki quickly becomes a supporting character in her own plot. That's not great.

But the dynamic between Fubuki and Halara is nonetheless charming enough to carry it. So I had a good time all the same.

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! This week we'd like to tell you about the crew that makes this show work! You already know me, Hannah Wright, I write and direct the show, but I couldn't do this alone.

William Wright is our assistant director and my actual real life brother. He's a fount of good vibes and good ideas; he sits in on every recording session, directs when I cannot, and when we were recording in person, served as gopher as well. (Listen, I didn't mean to leave the computer charger at home...) His moral support is invaluable.

Katherine Ayers is our audio wizard, which means she makes the sound go. She is an absolute legend for one reason: she likes dialogue editing. She enjoys the bit where you make all the lines go in the right place and stuff. I don't know anything about audio, but I'm told that makes her a rare gem, and I'm like, I already knew that! Katherine is the reason this show happened, enriching our show with her audio editing expertise. She makes us all sound good!

Ria Couoh is our transcriber. Accessibility is important to us, and one of the easiest ways to make Inn Between accessible is to have accurate, complete, beautiful transcripts in multiple formats. And can I just say that I hate doing that part? I am so glad that Ria takes the time to make those transcripts, so that everyone can enjoy Inn Between!

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Tal Minear, who we brought on as a crowdfunding consultant and then decided just because to make ALL OF OUR CUTE GRAPHICS. The things we’re posting every day? Tal did that! Using, it must be said, Canva assets from the artist Marx Fidel!

Jordan Kalina is a new addition to our show this season! Jordan has joined us as a director and consultant to teach myself and one of our actors how to approach panic attacks with respect and like, safely. So that no one hyperventilates. For Jordan's expertise, we are so grateful.

We also have a mystery sensitivity reader, who we are lucky enough to have consulting us on physical disabilities. Why is her identity a mystery? Because she's also playing Phoebe! We will reveal her name in just a couple days.

Don't you want to help us pay these nice people? Of course you do! Help us fund Inn Between season five!

"no vacancy"

for me this has to be a subverted soulmarks au. subtle? no, but i feel like this meme isn't for subtlety. i spent a long time mulling over the exact right men to put in this situation, and i settled on quinn and elias. i think it's a like -- soulmarks aren't super common, in this world, but they are generally highly valued. it's pretty taboo to have a soulmark and, say, marry someone else. there's probably some social movements to make it more acceptable, but we know a hockey boy loves to be uncontroversial.

anyway to set the stage: quinn doesn't have a soulmark. (obviously jack does, and they tend to run in families so i think luke does too, and maybe jim and ellen are soulmates.) this is fine with him, though. a little awkward sometimes since jack accidentally let part of his show when he was a hotshot kid (he is still a hotshot kid) so sometimes people assume quinn also has one, but it's fine. mostly he's just glad to not have the choice taken out of his hands, you know? he'll get to find someone and decide he loves them and wants to spend their lives together. there's tons of people without soulmarks. most people don't have them.

elias, meanwhile, very much does have a soulmark. he has a soulmark and he has big romantic feelings about it. there's someone out there who's For Him! he's so excited to find his person!

i think this is a world where soulmarks aren't like, your soulmate's name or whatever. maybe something that'll be meaningful to both of you, so they're the same for both people (all people? sure).

anyway, elias, lucky boy, gets to find his soulmate! his soulmate is brock, and i am sorry for what i'm going to do to both of them here (but not that sorry) (sorry enough that i wouldn't write this story for real but i'll spin a yarn on tumblr)

so his soulmate is brock, and they get to find each other and they're so in love! it's great! everything's going well. maybe the team will even be good, but if they're not elias has his soulmate, and his boys, and he can work with that. somewhere in here, the canucks make elias the captain, which -- it is what it is. things are good enough, though.

meanwhile, quinn dates, hooks up, makes friends outside the team. he wants to find someone, even if it's not a soulmate. someone to come home to, or whatever. in his darkest moments, when everything's going badly with the team and he's just been dumped and the whole nine yards, he does catch himself being jealous of what brock and elias have. it's so easy. they know it's going to work, because that's what soulmates means. not that it's always easy or anything (quinn knows them both too well to think that) but they know that the work will be worth it.

and then brock gets traded.

gonna muddle my way through the details on this one -- maybe it's this summer, or at next season's trade deadline. or maybe it's an au where he got dealt at last year's deadline. anyway, brock gets traded, and it's somewhere so, so far away. maybe the caps got him for real, or maybe i'll send him off to raleigh. anyway, east coast for sure. three hours ahead and thousands of miles away and only two games a year.

it goes ... well, it goes fine at first. but things deteriorate slowly, miserably, excruciatingly. and by the time the following trade deadline rolls around, they're well and truly broken up. elias is miserable about it, obviously, and quinn's heart hurts for him. for brock, too, but brock's not being miserable on his couch every day.

one thing leads to another, and quinn and elias fall into bed. quinn feels weird about it, because elias has a soulmate and it isn't quinn, but it's just sex. they're both lonely and they just want the physicality of it, to feel someone else's skin and have a reminder that there are good things in the world. they fall asleep in quinn's bed, and when quinn wakes up in the morning he makes coffee and promises himself it won't happen again.

it happens again.

and then it happens a third time, and that's bad. once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, sure, but three times is a pattern. quinn's making a habit of falling into bed with one of his best friends, who has a soulmate. a soulmate he's broken up with, but still.

but quinn is lonely. it's been so long since he met anyone who was even worth the effort of a second date, and most of his family and friends are so far away, and the season is such a grind, especially when you're not winning. and elias is so heartbroken, and the sex seems to help. quinn can make him laugh, and make him feel good.

so the sex becomes a pattern. and then it becomes a pattern that continues into a second season, and god, it's just so easy. they fit into each other's space so well, and quinn's not in love but this takes up so much less of his time and he gets so much more sex out of it. and he gets to see elias crack a smile a few more times than he might otherwise.

the part where he's been hooking up with someone who'll never love him, who he can't fall in love with, who it would be a huge scandal for him to marry -- he's not dealing with that part yet. never mind that elias stays over more and more, and that sometimes they just make out on the couch, and that quinn is a little bit obsessed with how it feels when elias touches his hip as he slides past quinn in the kitchen. with the way elias sometimes kisses the back of his neck before they fall asleep. the way elias's eyes move under his lids when he's dreaming, and how bright they get in the morning when he tells quinn about his dreams over coffee. never mind that quinn hasn't bothered to go on a date since the calendar flipped over to the new year, because there's nothing he wants that he isn't getting from elias.

and then the unspecified east coast team that brock plays for comes to town. and brock and elias have dinner after the game, and quinn goes home from rogers alone, and he eats a protein bar and cold leftover pasta alone, and he goes to bed alone, and he doesn't know how long it's been since he did any of that.

elias isn't there when he wakes up, and quinn expects to see him in the kitchen, or curled up on the couch with coffee, right up until the moment that he remembers what happened yesterday.

elias does come over, late morning. he rings the doorbell instead of letting himself in. quinn might throw up. elias is smiling. they probably got back together. decided they can make it work. it'll be worth it, because that's what soulmates means. quinn can barely make eye contact. he pushes elias away when elias goes in for a kiss.

this hurts elias's feelings, obviously. quinn says something about how they shouldn't be doing this, elias is meant to be with brock, quinn's not going to get in the middle of that. he's not going to let -- he doesn't even know. let elias do this to himself? to quinn? to brock? he doesn't want any part of it. elias needs to go.

elias argues, obviously, but quinn's sleep deprived, from lying awake thinking about how brock and elias were probably having sex, and stubborn as all hell, and he's realized way, way too late how much his heart is caught up in this. so he gets elias back out the door and goes to take a very long, very hot shower until all he can feel is the water pounding down on his back and not how much he wants to cry.

it takes quinn a while to realize that elias is miserable, after that. he's so busy holding it together by the skin of his teeth that he doesn't have a lot of energy left for anyone else's emotions. but it catches up with him eventually. after a game, maybe. they lose, which, they lose a lot. but this one stings. down the stretch, one of those games where winning would've shot their odds of finally making the playoffs way up, and instead they couldn't even pull together one good period. just got absolutely dummied at home by fucking anaheim. elias got tossed partway through the third, got into it with terry and the refs didn't like the temperature of the game, apparently, because they both got ejected.

elias is sitting in his stall, still in his gear, when quinn comes back from his shower. it was a long one, because he needed to wash the miserable sting of the game away, and the room is starting to empty out. quinn sits down next to him, even though elias towers over him in full and quinn in just a towel. they just sit there until they're finally the last two left in the room. normally, they'd be doing media, but apparently someone else has fallen on that sword tonight.

"why'd you do it?" quinn asks. "go after terry, i mean."

elias shrugs. "i needed to do something."

quinn can't argue with that. that's, well, sometimes that's what being a leader means. grasping at straws because someone has to. they sit in silence for a few minutes longer.

"why'd you take the c?" quinn asks, finally. the thing he's actually wondered all along. he knew elias didn't really want it.

elias shrugs again, just a twitch of a shoulder. "you wanted it even less than me."

quinn's fingers itch. he doesn't reach out.

"you know i'm in love with you," he says, and it feels so loud in the empty room. "i know i'm not supposed to be."

and elias says, "i know," and then instead of saying something horrible like i'm sorry or you're my best friend, he says, "i am too."
