Contains: smut/fluff/ daddy kink/ masturbation/spanking
__________________________________________
Its been a couple of months after the snap, Bruce’s arm had healed but I didn’t, I was slowly dying, I took some bad injuries fighting the last war against thanos, Bruce had been trying to figure out how to heal me properly without any future complications, it’s stressing him out more then me, laying down on the bed tiredly, “hun here, I got you something to eat, it’s your favorite,” he says I lean up smelling the warm flavor of shrimp pasta, “thank you baby,” I smiled taking the plate, “so um I have a proposition for you? Uhhh… it’s… it’s going to take some time but I was thinking of a way to heal you,” he says, “what is it Bruce? Tell me?” I ask. He nibbles on his lip hesitantly, “what if I was to give you my blood,” he says I squinted my brows “what do you mean?” I ask, “which means umm you may or may not change, into… me,” he says, my eyes go wide in shock, “change wait turn into a hulk?” I ask he nods, u was shocked by the question, turning into the hulk but what are the odds for it? Knowing Bruce has been dealing with the other guy for years and the trauma went behind it will it happen to her, “but will I become or will there be another person, controlling my body?” I ask “I don’t think so, it could be a possibility but I don’t think there’s going to be an alter ego for you,” he says.
I look at him nervously “babe.. look you don’t have to do this okay it’s just an option we’ve been trying everything,” he reassures, I nodded, that’s something I really have to think about I gulped “imma think about it bruce, I don’t know, I’m scared of it doesn’t work and I still die,” I said he nods pecking my lips. Two weeks have gone by and I decided to make a decision and go for it, if this means I will heal and not die then… let’s do it, Bruce was meditating listen to soft jazz and i weakly walk over to him, I coughed loudly making Bruce look back instantly “babe-babe what are you doing out of bed?!” He gets up “I… I wanted to talk to you,” I whine, “you scare me sometimes,” he says, “I wanna do it,” I said he froze “huh?” I nodded my head “I wanna do it, let’s do it Bruce, I can’t… I don’t wanna be sick and slowly dying anymore I want to live,” I said, he grabs my hand “you sure?” He gives me a nervous stare, this big man is so frantic when it comes down to me, any little thing that goes on with me hood or bad he’s always on edge. “Yes I’m sure Bruce come on,” I urged pulling his arm begging, “okay” he picks me up bridal style and walks me down the lab to lay me on the bed.
“Okay babe, let’s set you up here” he place monitoring pads on my head and chest, I watched him as he got ready, he opens a door to get a tub out, I’m assuming his blood before grabbing a syringe, I gulped staring at the syringe as he walks over “are you ready for this?” He asks I nodded, but panicked and cried when he tried to insert the needle “I hate needles,” she says “babe this is the only way it’s only a punch okay you gotta keep still for me,” he says softly, he held my arm down and all I could do was close my eyes and bite down on my lip, he begins to inject and instantly felt weird, my eyes go wide glowing green, my views became visibly green along with the color of my skin, Bruce steps back in shock seeing my change, I felt out the bed grunting. “Oh no” he mumbles.
I groan leaning upwards onto the bed, “oh my god,” Bruce blurts out, “what? I-did it work?” I ask lookin around, “I-uhhh, I think it did,” he breathes out, I looked at my skin and it was green I gasp fully standing up and I was very tall, “I-Bruce…it worked,” I said, “wait ain’t wait a minute?! You’re the only one in there?” He asks I nodded “I’m not destroying the lab so I guess it worked,” he was flabbergasted, the was he floundered looking around “bruh?! How! You don’t have an alter ego?” I shake my head giggling, he was flabbergasted he walks over to me “babe, do you feel weird or anything unusual?” He asks I shake my head.
“I still have to train you on your temper, you’re a lot easier to piss off now that you’re kind of a hulk, you can still go haywire,” he said, “okay” I nodded, we went upstairs to the bedroom, I looked at myself through the mirror, my body looked almost the same but I’m a lot curvier, Bruce walked in and I gasp looking away “why do you not have boxers on Bruce?” He chuckles, “this isn’t the first time you seen it,” he says nonchalantly smacking my ass as he walks by, I roll my eyes.
He pulls me close by my waist to give me a kiss on the side of my head “you’re beautiful babe, absolutely sexy,” he smirked “stop” I giggle, “I’m going to have to get you some new clothes,” he says, “awww man, I just now realized I can’t wear my clothes anymore,” I pouted “I can get you the same clothes babe, just gotta get it in this size, but for now,” he rips the rest of my clothes off, he smirked “Bruce really” I playfully glare at him, I sighed as his knuckle lifts my chin up to make me look at him, he pecks my lips kissing me lustfully, I tried so hard to keep moans in from his hands rubbing over my body.
His aggressive kisses went down to my neck, I let out a whimper “Bruce, babe” I moan, his member poked at my stomach twitching, my chest felt tight like i was holding trying to breath, the urge in me wanted to be released “you and I both know I’ve been waiting for the day I get to fuck the lights out of you,” his voice deepened in her ear, I shiver leaving him smirking, he smacks my ass “I…” I couldn’t come up with words his menacing grin on his face taunting me so badly, he grabs my arm pulling me to the bed pushing me forward to fall on it, he ends up moving the mirror to face me. I leaned up but yelped when he smacked my ass hard “arch it!” He said sternly, I did as told arching my back with my ass in the air, “bruce-oh hush I don’t wanna hear nothing coming from that mouth except for red yellow or green, if you speak I’ll fuck you till you pass out got it?” I don’t know where this confidence even this bruce came from? God it turned me on seeing how dominant he was, I yelp again when he smacks my ass expecting an answer “yes daddy,” I responded.
He leans up and the point of view search strong slight hairy chest with his cock in between my ass was mesmerizing, he big hands roamed my ass before smacking it, I hold in my whimpers and pouts of pleading, but the teasing was getting on my nerves, I whined and that’s when I stared right at me through the mirror, “can’t follow a simple rule hm?” He smacks my ass again, he rubs the tip ass my wet folds, I moan “make a noise” he temps. “Just fuck me already i can’t take it any longer,” I huffed, “impatient little brat aren’t you huh?” He thrusts forward I grip the bed moaning “ughhh you’re so tight,” he moans, his thrusts get more hard the aggressive feeling of my ass jiggling each time his hips touched, moaning I stared through the mirror seeing this sexy view.
“Look at you, being a good little slut for me… taking me so well,” he grunts, “oh my god-oh my god-Bruce-ahhhhh!” I yell, “uhhh scream my name baby yesss!” He groans looking up to the ceiling, “Bruce yess! Ahhh ohhh god, it’s feels so fucking god, yess like that daddy,” she moans, he goes harder grabbing my neck “ughhh guhhh! BRUCE IM GONNA CUM!” She squirmed “cum baby, go ahead,” he says in her ear, his thrusts got sloppy and harder telling me he was close. She moans squeezing the sheets, he grunts finally releasing himself, he tiredly looked down at her sweaty body and pulled out, he gives her ass a smack one last time before picking her up “now that, we gotta do again… once I get my legs back,” she said he barks up a laugh.

Cycles passed, and she didn’t expect Rung to call her. The moment she saw Rung on the call she was so overwhelmed. 
“Rung!” Rose sobbed and held onto the datapad. 
“Hello my love,” Rung chuckled and held the datapad. 
Rose didn’t know what to say, but Rung smiled gently. 
“Would you like to do something my love? There is a chance that the ship won’t be back for another couple of cycles as we’re still enroute back at Cybertron, would you want to try something out in the meantime?” Rung asked, as the camera pans down to view his glistening valve. Rose blushed. 
She never really saw Rung’s valve; it was reserved for special occasions And by it being out she could tell this was a very special night. Rose blushed and looked down at Rung’s valve, he immediately began to press a single digit to his valve and rub it. Feeling the anterior node, he shudders and moans. 
“R-Rose…” Rung breathes out. “I’ve missed y-you…” He says. 
Rose faceplates heated up and she looked into the camera showcasing his valve. “I-I’ve missed you too, you have no idea…” Rose said with a hoarse voice. Wow, she didn’t realize how upset she’d been the entire time he was gone. 
But besides that she didn’t know what to feel about this at all. The pain in her spark to know that Rung was gone really got to her, but here he was in front of her on camera… Why must he tease her so
With a shaky breath she looked up at Rung’s valve. “Is there something you want me to do?” She asked. 
Rung smiled gently and placed a vibrator near his valve he shudders and moans. “I want you to- to! A-Ah! I want you to… act like you're the one doing this to m-me!” Rung gasped out. 
Rose blushed. Was he really betowing her the honor of pleasing Rung? She didn’t know much, but she did hang around Swerve and Skids far enough to get tips via word of mouth. She knew that a happy partner is the key to a perfect relationship.

💙{SUKKA PLAYLIST}💚
So in my fandom career, one of the first stages of commitment to a ship is dedicating a music playlist to them. As you may have guessed, Sukka is no exception.
Out of all the playlists I've made, Sukka's was definitely the most fun to make, as they are just so aesthetically pleasing. 🤧
I have 11 songs total and I recommend copying the songs and insert them into a playlist on whatever music service you use.
Good Times ~All Time Low
(you can see my post for this song here)
{"I never wanna leave this sunset town, but one day the time may come. And I'll take it at your word, and carry on. I'll hate the goodbye, but I wont forget the good times."}
Reread those lyrics. I dare you to tell me that isn't the fire nation attack scene in "The Warriors of Kyoshi".
Desert Moon ~ Mena Massoud & Naomi Scott
{"'Cause it waits for you there, and if you see it too, I can find my way to you."}
So the graphics I vision for this song are sorta based around Book 3 Sukka. I headcanon that Sokka would look up to Yue for reassurance when feeling lost, such as when Suki was imprisoned and he had no idea where she was. Also, post-Book 3 when they are in their long distance relationship, I know they would miss each other like crazy. Something I see comforting them is the fact that they see the same moon.
White Horse ~ Taylor Swift
{"I was a dreamer before you went and let me down, now its too late for you and your white horse to come around."}
{"And there you are on your knees. Begging for forgiveness, begging for me."}
Now we all know Suki is our resident independent- badass- queen who doesn't need anyone to look out for her, especially a man. I thought that this song was a good parallel to when she was fed up with Sokka's sexist bs in "The Warriors of Kyoshi". Like I can imagine her having to hear this from so many people around her growing up, and to hear it from someone she showed interest in must be disappointing. Not a super happy rec, but a necessary one nonetheless.
Even When/ The Best Part ~ Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Basset
{"The best part is knowing there's something in my dreams that always makes me smile, its you. The best part is knowing there's someone in my life that makes it all worth while, its you."}
{"Even when you and I are worlds apart, I hold you in my heart. Even when I'm a thousand miles away, I wish that I could stay with you."}
So oddly enough, I actually find enjoyment in 'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series'. But in the scene, the main couple sang this to each other when they couldn't be together for Valentine's day, and when I first heard it, my head immediately went to Sokka and Suki. Seeing that they had a long distance relationship for a decent amount of time and have many individual responsibilities, they are bound to miss some holidays and events. But even through that, they know they are the most important parts of each others lives.
Like I'm Gonna Lose You ~ Meghan Trainor & John Legend
{"So I'll kiss you longer babe, every chance that I get. I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regret. Let's take our time to say what we want, use what we got before its all gone. 'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow."}
I really love this song for them because after losing Yue, Sokka came to appreciate time, and didn't want to waste a moment with Suki. He realized that death can be sudden and real, which was why he was so protective of Suki during 'The Serpent's Pass'.
If I Can't Be With You ~ R5
{"I'd rather stay with you, if I had to choose. Baby you're the greatest, and I got everything to lose. And I just wanna be with you. And I can never get enough. Baby, give it all up I'd give it all up, if I cant be with you."}
I thought this song fit really well, and this lyric in particular reminds me of the failed escape attempt in 'The Boiling Rock Pt. 1'. Suki was willing to give up the concept of freedom if it meant staying to wait for Hakoda with Sokka.
Thinking Out Loud ~ Ed Sheeran
{"'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen. And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory. I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways. And maybe it's all part of a plan. Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes, hoping that you'll understand.
That, baby, now take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your head on my beating heart. I'm thinking out loud, and maybe we found love right where we are."}
Another headcanon service. I can just picture them leisurely dancing to this in the living room when they're married.
Stuck With You ~ Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber
{"So, go ahead and drive me insane. Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't change being stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you."}
I thought this would be a good choice because as we see in the show, Suki will humor Sokka's jokes every once in a while versus just brushing them off. I can also see her being like "Hmm, you're an idiot, but I love it. I'm keeping you."
Gotta Find You ~ Joe Jonas
{"I need to try to get to where you are. Could it be you're not that far? You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing. I need to find you, I gotta find you."}
Tumblr media
Enough said.👏
Lift Me Up ~ The Afters
{"You know my heart is heavy, and the hurt is deep. But when I feel like giving up, you're reminding me. That we all fall down sometimes, When I hit the ground,
You lift me up when I am weak, your arms wrap around me. Your love catches me, so I'm letting go. You lift me up when I can't see, your heart's all that I need. Your love carries me, so I'm letting go."}
So I really love this song and feel that it could be used for literally any atla ship or even atla as a whole, due to the theme and aesthetic (might mess around and make an edit😏). One of my favorite things about Sukka is how supportive they are of each other, and how easily they make each other happy. They've seen each other at low points, they've been on death row, but through that they were still there cheering each other on.
Lucky ~ Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat
{"They don't know how long it takes, waiting for a love like this. Every time we say goodbye, I wish we had one more kiss. I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will."}
I think this pretty much sums up their time together during 'The Serpent's Pass'. They were apart for so long-and with the war, had no reason to really believe they'd see each other again. But then by chance they were brought together again, revealed their feelings, only to have to split up again. But through that, they didn't let the distance bother them, as they stayed committed to each other.
{"Lucky we're in love in every way. Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed. Lucky to be coming home someday."}
Well, we all know they're hopelessly in love, but I feel like this highlights one of the most important aspects of them; no matter how long or far apart they are, they always come running home to each other.
Well that was defiantly a doozy😅. Thanks to those who stuck around this far!

Bumble is Catered to Everyone
In the Bumble ad, they use Serena Willams as the face of this brand. Since Serena is a successful athlete in her career, and did so by going after everything she wanted and not letting anything hold her back. The brands overall message is to go after your goals, but while using a woman to do so. Therefore you can argue that they are promoting women empowerment in doing so as well. 
In the beginning of the ad, it shows Serna on a tennis court looking very fierce and determined. After that in the next shot they focus. On her as a little girl sitting on the neck on the same tennis court, and here she looks very discouraged until she is then pushed to make that move to get up and try to play. Both of these scenes are alluding to the fact that women should make that initiative to amen the first move and to be confident in doing so. It is also visible that the court is yellow to represent the app as well since their main color is yellow. In the next clip they show Serena’s many victories in her career as a professional tennis player because she was able to make that first move, they then switch over to her being approached to by a group of little girls that want to take a photo with her and clearly see her as a role model. Also, one of the little girls is wearing a yellow shirt, which goes along with the color of the app as well. In the next clip she is seen looking at herself in the mirror admiring how far she has come and looking at a picture of her husband, promoting that you can find love on this app as well.In the same scene they show her getting a text message from a friend talking about grabbing lunch, which goes to the point that you can use their app to find friends. Another key factor in this scene is that there’s yellow flowers, post its, and the “slay” sign she picks up is also yellow and the slay also goes into this notion of women empowerment as well.
The public they intended for this ad to be catered to is women. Prior to watching the ad I had no prior knowledge on what this company was or what its mission was. While watching it I thought it was an ad that was catering to athletic gear, since they were using an athlete to promote it. This ad lacks lots of diversity within it and isn’t inclusive to all races, genders, sexual orientations, and religions. So many people who aren’t a woman may not feel inclined to use the app, since they are basically only showing that women use it. Also for a woman as well it can be decoded as an offensive ad, because in the ad it’s almost showing this message that women should make the first move, and many women may not feel the same. 
The two PR practitioners strategies that are relevant in this decoding are Rodriguez and Madrid. In the article written by Rodriguez entitled, “Crafting a Smarter Strategy: The Art of Reaching the Bicultural Audience Today”, she makes this statement that, “the capacity to relate and work effectively across cultures”. In the Bumble ad they fail in doing so, rather than catering to all possible cultures it fails to only cater to a few. In many cultures such as Hispanic culture it is not seen for a woman to be very powerful and have a say so. But in the Bumble ad they want to promote that women should be the ones to make the first move, which to many women this can be taken offensive and to many men they could disagree with this notion that women should make the first move onto them. In Madrid’s article “The New Diverse: Multiracial and Bicultural”, she makes the statement that “there’s usually a sense of being pulled in two different directions while trying to maintain both or assimilate into another”. So when Bumble created this ad it seems as though they only catered to one gender, one sexual orientation, and one race, that being an African-American straight woman. This immediately may make people of different sexual orientations, races, or genders not feel inclined to use the app because they made it seem not inclusive to everyone. 
If I were to redo the ad, I would do it similar to those other dating apps who use real life people so that their audience can relate more. In the first scene, I would show a couple both from two different ethnicities texting back and forth planning a date together. Then eventually, meeting up together to go out to dinner and maybe eventually showing a glimpse of a wedding. In the scene where they are going out to dinner I would place the woman in a yellow blouse to further promote the app. Next, I would maybe show two business partners planning an event for an organization they plan to launch, which would show the aspect of not only meeting people for love, but for business purposes as well. Continuing to drop more hints about the app the businesses fake logo may be yellow. In the next scene, I would show a group of girls of different ethnicities planning a vacation to promote the BumbleBFF extension. In the next clip, I would insert a cameo of Ariana Grande an A-list celebrity using the app and scrolling pass different guys photos, while she uses her famous line “Thank u, next”. Then after I would show the iPhone and the Bumble app on it while the song “Thank u, next” is playing in the background. I believe this would get ratings and views to go up for this ad, since Ariana Grande is an A-list celebrity people would talk about her being in it as well as the use of her song since it is well-known. It would also provide more clarity for what the actual app can be used for and what the company is trying to promote, which is its actual usage. I would focus more on promoting how to use the app, rather than focusing on the empowerment of women because it can convey the wrong message to the audience. This will also allow people to be more inclined to use the app, since they know what it is actually used for. Not only will it be more informative, but it’ll promote that anyone no matter your race, sexual orientation, or gender you can use the app.

friends to lovers!guanlin
genre: fluff word count: 2.2k author’s note: ok i have decided that i’m super bad with summaries so i omitted it hAH :-) send me requests!! :))
• it’s that time of the year again…*dramatic sigh*
• yes,, it is one week before school starts!! honestly,, you’re kind of really daunted by the upcoming year because you finally were becoming a senior
• you can’t actually believe that YOU, someone who still cuddles with soft toys at night and cries like a baby will be graduating soon like hell nah i’m not ready to step out of my comfort zone, not ready for everyone to judge my ugly ass, not ready to be single yet again (not that being single is wrong!! but you just feel kinda like a loser when everyone around you is already dating 🙁)
• in order to make you feel better about yourself, you decided to go to the mall to get some clothes because,, impulsive splurging is your passion (even though you end up regretting it to the max after that) and bless the lord you need some new colours in your wardrobe because every single thing in your wardrobe is black 
• you casually stroll to the men’s section because you just like oversized shirts a lot,, they make you feel bigger and more confident and looks good too so why not!! and the staff don’t actually give a shit about who goes where in their store so nobody would judge you either famous last words
• just as you were reaching for this super cute red shirt that just calls for you, another hand came into your vision and took that last one off the rack
• startled, you spun around to see who the culprit was and got even more surprised because
• a) holy feck this guy is cute (and by cute i mean the handsomest person you’ve ever seen)
• b) holy feck this guy’s aura and face is colder than eating ice cream in the middle of the winter  
• and you just kind of slither away in fear all while keeping your eyes on him like a snake because you ARE a snake since you eat snacks at night even though you promised your diet app not to
• but that was the last of him you saw for the rest of the break (certainly not the last you thought of him tho!!)
• fast forward to the first day of school,, and you’ve guessed it!
• by some miraculous turn of fate, you spot a slightly familiar yet unfamiliar face standing right in front of the classroom beside your homeroom teacher 
• it was him
• and boi, he looked finer than a strand of hair wearing the red shirt he picked that day 
• after your teacher’s explanation, it turns out he was a transfer student from taiwan (oH NO NOT AGAIN *cues groans*) and his name was lai guanlin 
• he instantly became a favourite amongst your classmates,, a chorus of small yet audible sighs from the girls could be heard, and the guys were practically bouncing out of their seats to greet him
• after his introduction (that highlighted his super cute accent), he went to his assigned seat, which was conveniently situated behind you. you had no idea whether he actually recognised you or not,, so you gave him a small, hesitant smile but all he did was to just stare blankly at you so hAh prObabLy nOt
• days passed and he settled in pretty well,, he now was friends with this big group of boys  (including him, there are eleven, you believe) who called themselves wanna one and literally have females and males alike practically salivating at the sight of them, so naturally your hopes of getting closer to him were dashed because you weren’t part of that social circle (besides being friends with daehwi in the student council)
• that was also why you’ve decided to throw the thoughts about him to the back of your mind and busied yourself with the upcoming council president selection
• you actually didn’t want to join it at first, but with the encouragement of your peers, you decided to just wing it and yolo for your last year in high school
• but that was also how you found yourself in a battle of nerves with one of the most popular girls in your school, chaewon (ok pls just insert any name here ur enemy’s your pet’s i just randomly chose one)
• chaewon wasn’t really the baddest bitch around, though she can be a little arrogant and quip sarcastic remarks once in a while,, you don’t dislike her, but you don’t like her either 
•  but for some reason, her looks and athletic abilities (which you, for jisoo’s sake had none) have guys and girls alike, just like wanna one, falling at her feet
• it wasn’t like she was a complete airhead either, she got decent grades, is punctual in handing up her homework too,, which makes her a really strong candidate up against you
• the elections came and went, you gave your speech and she gave hers, and unfortunately, but not unpredictably, she won and got to parade around with a makeshift sash the whole day
• you were…undeniably a little sad because hey you really did put in effort to memorise the script and think about how to improve the school (you spent sleepless nights thinking about that okay) and not freak out while talking in front of so many people but you didn’t get it in the end
• but you didn’t want to sound like a sore loser either so you just kept it to yourself,, 
• hOWEveR
• just as you were about to congratulate her,,, she, in all her winning glory, went
• “honestly, you didn’t stand a chance against me but i just went along with it because it made me feel superior. but good game, you tried your best, but hey, it wasn’t enough!”
• to say that you were crushed was an understatement 
• you…had no idea how to react that, so you just stood there and froze for a while 
• but suddenly, a terse voice that sounded dangerously close to you rang out
• “to be honest, we all know you pulled some strings to win because evidently y/n has a way better personality than you.”
• you spun around (deja vu, anyone?) and lo and behold, you see this tall silhouette basked in light and hOLY MAMA that is ,,, LAI. GUAN. LIN. 
• ?1!?1!?1!??1!?1??1 <— your heart and mind at that moment
• “i hope you won’t let this ‘win’ get to your head,, because i and my friends won’t hesitate to get an appeal for her to take your position if you were to act up like this again, so do us all a favour and get out.” 
• ?1!1!1?1??1?1!1!1!!1!1!1!?1?1?1?!1!1!1!!1!1!!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1!!1!1 <— your heart, beating at a 100 miles per hour as you see him turn around and go back to his friends, not without him giving you a gentle smile (you were certain your face was red now yOu’vE beComE a tOmaTo)
• you didn’t see it but his ears had turned red from shyness aw what a cute baby (but only towards you tho 😉) 
• it was after that day,, you guys just- suddenly clicked
• he gave you a nod the next day when he walked past you to get to his seat 
• and when you turned back to thank him, a full blown smile spread across his face (tHAT SMILE,, YOU KNOW THAT SMILE WITH HIS TEETH AND GUMS) and you felt like ‘shit, i’m getting sucked into this black hole but for some reason i don’t want to come out’
• you don’t notice it but his friends sitting behind him are wiggling their eyebrows and gossiping (mmo, ring a bell??) about how cute of a couple you two would make but none of you caught it since you were busy staring at each other,, sharing a moment
• small talks became real conversations, what originally was mundane became full of laughter and funny stories he told you about his friends (he tells you deep dark secrets about them like how once daehwi was rocking out to ariana grande in the shower and slipped and fell) 
• you told him about your friends as well and how they thought he was the most good looking person they’ve ever seen,, and he just tells you to tell them that he’s not interested
• you kind of want to probe further but you didn’t want it to be awkward either so you just settled for an questioning look you hope conveyed your message but he just gave you an ambiguous smile,,, which kind of made your heart sink a little because…of course he has a crush, he could literally have anyone he wanted why would he even bother about you
• so you just,,, kept your feelings under the radar for the moment 
• but anyone, everyone could see you were heads over heels for him 
• and that he was heads over heels for you too!!!! he had never shown any interest in any girl except for you
• he dismissed any confession letters that came his way, got rid of girls who would stick to him with the very cold look that scared you in the first place
• he never had much interaction with girls 
• heck, he never even smiled that much with guys besides his friends 
• but you two,, clouded with the delusion that your crush would never like you back, continued being friends close to lovers
• until the day before the basketball finals
• yes, guanlin was part of the basketball team, and was the co-captain in fact, which is a really amazing feat considering he just entered your school a few months ago
• you were staying back in school to help settle some stuff with the council since you were still a rank higher up than the rest,, you needed to get everything right for tomorrow’s big game, make sure the ushers know their duty, the students knew where to sit, the court was decorated and at its cleanest state
• and guanlin was practising to get his shots right for tomorrow because he didn’t want to let anyone down,, and most importantly, he didn’t want to look like a loser in front of you!! after two hours of training, the coach let the players go for a thirty minute break before going back to shoot some hoops again
• wandering around the school, he saw the door of a conference room slightly ajar, and heard your melodious voice flowing from it
• peeping in, he saw you standing in front of the board, laying out the plans for tomorrow and observing how you carried yourself, your confidence, your beauty and he came to the conclusion that yo,, it was,, now or never
• clutching the extra jersey he had in his hands tightly, he opened the door, apologised for the interruption and beckoned for you to come out
• you were escorted outside with the sound of wolf-whistles and clapping but you paid no heed to them, only looking at the seemingly flustered boy standing in front of you
• guanlin: “hi?”
• you: “hey!”
• him: “okay so tomorrow is the championship right? you’ll be there right?”
• you: “yes, why do you ask?”
• him, throwing the dry-fit shirt to you: “it’syoursnowpleasewearthistomorrowand…”
• you, barely catching it and not making sense of the situation at all: “and?”
• him: “if i score the winning goal, will you date me?”
• everything went still for a second
• you looked down at the jersey that had his name proudly printed on it and supposedly belonged to you forever now, and looked up at his expectant and nervous face bewilderedly 
• you: “wait, can you repeat that again?”
* him, mildly exasperated that you were taking so long to give him an answer: “date me if i score the winning goal tomorrow.”
• honestly the stunned look on your face makes him want to just pinch your cheeks and kiss you but he’ll resist for the sake of the fact that you might not reciprocate his feelings
• but when you replied him with “okay, deal.”, he couldn’t help but just give you the biggest and loveliest hug you’ve ever experienced
• it was like,, you belonged there
• in that warm cocoon of heat and love 
• and guess what??
• the next day came and everyone, and i mEAN EVER Y ON E was looking at you striding into the venue with his jersey and the wanna one members were just like MY BABY HAS FINALLY GROWN BALLS I AM SO PROUD OF HIM *wipes tears from eyes* 
• you cheered and screamed so loudly for him you swear they could probably hear you from australia and when it came down to the last seconds, where the other team was just leading by two points,, guanlin caught the ball and dribbled it towards the other side of the court
• those seconds felt like ages and just when he was about to make the three-pointer,, he looked at you with that smile on his face
• …and sCORED!!1!1!1!1!1!!1!!1!!!!!!!!
• you jumped out of your seat and hi-fived your friends around you, celebrating their victory until you see them suddenly freezing, looking behind you
• you turned around (again, deja vu???) and saw him, guanlin, with the brightest smile that seriously could light up the universe if he tried 
• “so, date me?”
