Tumblr media
"Hello there, Miss." Coryo grins at you, extending his arm to you to hold as you step out of your house and close the door behind you.
You pretend not to see, reaching down to retie your shoe which was already laced up perfectly. "Hi." You reply quietly, and his smile fades. You already seem in weaker spirits than you were this afternoon.
"Did you enjoy your nap?" He asks as you stand up straight again, making your way down the front path of your house to the street and he follows like a stray dog.
You turn when you reach the road, looking at him only briefly. "I did. Thank you." You mumble, unable to make extended eye contact without your heart beating out of your chest. It was hard to tell if you were awake or asleep when he was around.
"That's good." He nods, joining your side. He's there to walk you to The Hob, but he honestly was relying more on you to guide the way.
You don't say anything, walking with your arms crossed carefully, protectively across your midsection.
Coryo is worried, but he does know that you don't want to walk alone at night, so he tries to convince himself it's just that. Not him.
"You, uhm, you look nice." He tells you, taking notice of your change of clothes. It was refreshing to see you in something other than that short dress with the sewn-in shorts, though with the longer skirts you had worn today, it covered much more of your skin. Part of him missed the short dress that was now most definitely unwearable. It was your favourite, he remembered.
"Thank you." You say back, the hair on your arms pricking up from the chill that was starting to settle in. It wasn't a cold night, you didn't think, but colder than Twelve often saw in mid-August. Maybe it was just you. "You do, as well."
He laughs, and you look at him for the first time tonight. His blue eyes shine with the reflection of the sunset, and you're no longer cursing yourself for trusting him to walk you this afternoon. He wouldn't hurt you, and you knew that. Stupid dreams. Stupid nightmares. He saved you- he's the only reason you're alive today, you're certain.
"We're trying to blend in, Sejanus thought we were scaring people." He explains, laughter subsiding.
You smile at him. "I was going to say, that style doesn't feel like your own." You giggle. "But I like it."
"Why, thank you." He grins, tugging on the front of his white t-shirt as if he was adjusting a suit jacket.
Your dreams were just dreams. If he had that evil in him, could you live with it? That was what you had to figure out. Right now, though, with you, that darkness was nowhere to be seen. You were awake. You must be.
"How has Twelve been treating you so far?" You ask, suddenly self-conscious of his impression of your home as your feet crunch over the gravel path beneath you.
"Okay." Coryo shrugs, shoving his hands into his pockets. "It was hard to find someone to talk to us long enough to get a lead on where to find you."
"People tend to keep to themselves." You explain. "Also looking for me is an odd request."
"Why?"
Now it was your turn to shrug. "No one really wants to talk to me now, either." The stares you got were seemingly endless. People would stare, point, whisper, and it didn't particularly bother you, but you hated that maybe people were afraid. You feared that everyone thought the games turned you into something fragile, and they were scared of upsetting you with the wrong words or the alternative; you were a weapon ready to explode at any moment.
"That's because people are careless and cruel." Coryo replies, no hesitation behind his tone. "And they have no way of understanding... you."
"They're good people, honestly, I just-"
"I know that." He assures you, sensing your panic. "But it's not your place to prove to them who you are. Changed or not."
"Do you think I have changed?" You ask, genuinely curious despite the softness of your voice.
Coryo is quiet for a moment. "I would say no," He looks at you as you walk alongside him. "but you have, I think. There's more to you, now."
You chew on your lip, watching your steps as you pass under the streetlights.
He watches your reaction, nervous when you don't respond. "I don't mean that in a bad way." He clarifies. "To me, you're still you." He wants to tell you you're less naive, more experienced, that it will keep you safe, but he feels as though that wouldn't be the right thing to say. "But it's impossible to walk out of that arena the same person. We have that in common."
The flickering street lamps illuminate the blush on your cheeks for just a moment. "Thank you, Coryo. That means a great deal." 
"Of course." He hums, walking close enough now to just brush your arm with his own.
Your heart leaps in your chest, from fear or excitement you aren't sure- but you're grateful to be able to finally hear the music coming from The Hob as you approach the rundown building.
There's nowhere else you would want to be any less than The Hob during one of Lucy Gray's shows. You loved her, The Covey, the beautiful and fun music they made together, but since you'd been home, it had been impossible to enjoy yourself there.
You didn't even try until tonight.
Your fears came true. Almost as soon as you and Coriolanus walked in, scattered eyes were on you. You could feel it like pricks in your skin. It didn't help that you were with a stranger. People were dancing, drinking, laughing, but you couldn't help but feel like the laughs were directed at you. Certainly, some staring was.
Coryo looks down at you, seeing your hands still gripped onto your own arms, holding yourself together. He wasn't great with crowds, and seemingly neither were you. His urge was to retreat to the nearest wall, and so was yours. "Let's see if we can track down Sejanus." He offers, holding his arm out behind you while he looks around.
He doesn't want to touch you for fear of making things weird, but god, would it just be so easy to slip his arm around your waist and guide you more effectively. 
"There." He almost doesn't hear you over the music and the shouting surrounding you both, but he follows your finger as you point over to the bar, leaning down closer in case you speak again.
Sure enough, Sejanus is there chatting with some local guy. Coryo sighs. "I leave him for twenty minutes..." He chuckles, shaking his head. "I'll get him, are you okay to wait here?" He asks and you nod, giving him that smile of yours that he hasn't seen all night.
"Good. I'll be right back." He promises, stepping away and through the crowd to go get your friend.
You watch him go, but your attention is drawn when someone pushes past you rather abruptly which makes you jump. The girl looks at you like you're crazy, as you expected she would, so pulling yourself together again, you find an empty table by the side wall and go to sit down. This was too much for you already; you knew that before you even walked in the door, but you were just here to see your friends. Coryo would come back, Sejanus would be with him, and Lucy Gray would sing her songs while you laughed and talked like normal people do. As soon as they returned, it would be okay.
You keep your head down until you hear them bickering over the normal sounds of the bar.
"We're not here to make friends, Sejanus, we're here to-"
"No, no, I get that, but what's the harm?"
You smile at them, taking a shaky breath. "Welcome back."
"Y/N!" Sejanus grins, looking at Coryo briefly before taking the seat across from you. "Glad you could make it."
"Me too." You nod, avoiding looking at Coryo as he takes the spot standing next to you, considering there wasn't another seat.
"Here," He says, voice low in your ear as he holds a glass out to you. "Got you a drink."
"Oh, thank you." You mumble, blushing as you take it from his hand. You can't think of anything worse than being intoxicated and vulnerable in this environment, but the gesture was nice. You wouldn't deny him that.
He rests his arm on the back of your chair, leaning on it and you rest your arms on the table so you can place the glass down as you look at Sejanus. "Tell me more, what have you been up to?" You ask, desperate for some conversation to distract yourself.
"Well, we graduated." Sejanus answers, nodding toward the boy standing beside you.
"Oh, gosh, congratulations!" You smile, looking between the two of them. Coryo is stone-faced.
"I sent you an invitation." He says into the rim of his glass, looking down at you.
"Oh?" You ask, and Sejanus nods in confirmation.
"We were hoping you'd be able to make it. We were going to come get you." He explains, and Coryo lets the glass scrape against his teeth. It was his invitation that he sent, and he was the one who offered to come get you. Sejanus had nothing to do with it besides encouraging him to actually send the letter.
"I didn't- I didn't get it." You tell them honestly, brow furrowed. "I don't know if I could have... gone back, you know, but I would have at least sent a gift, or something. I am so sorry."
Coryo raises an eyebrow. "You didn't get it?" He asks, almost relieved by the idea.
"No, nothing."
"Oh. Well, nothing could be done then, I suppose." He shrugs it off. Maybe if you truly hadn't received the invite, you haven't received any of the letters he sent. Someone along the route to the address he used decided you weren't worth looking for, and that wasn't your fault. Lucy Gray had told him as much, but he trusted it more falling from your lips.
"Truly, though, I am so sorry I couldn't be there." You say, looking between the two of them with a newfound urgency. You didn't want them to resent you, especially if they thought they had been ignored. "I didn't know, honest."
"Don't worry about it." Sejanus assures you. "We didn't want to be there either."
"But I did, I would have loved to but it's just hard to get out of Twelve and I wouldn't have anywhere to stay and like I said I'm just not ready to go back but I really would have loved to be able to be there for you."
"Y/N, hey..." Coryo chuckles, leaning down again to be face-to-face with you. "We get it. We're not upset with you, I promise."
Promise. The two of you were always making promises to each other, apparently. It made you feel better and he knew that.
"O-okay..." You nod slowly, deciding now is as good a time as any to try your drink. You turn your face from him, having been just inches apart to take a sip. Beer was far from your favourite, but you were never much of a drinker anyway. You place the glass back down and smooth out your skirt over your lap, regaining your normal grin. "Well, Fortune is merry, and in this mood will give us anything."
"Very good point." Coriolanus agrees quickly, tapping his hand on the back of your chair. The smile that crosses your face when you look up at him, thinking he understood and cared to respond makes him want to collapse in on himself and sink into the floor. You deserved so much more than being elated when someone understood you, and he could give you everything if you would just trust him.
"Y/L/N, how dare you show your face here!" A voice calls you by your last name and you snap your head in their direction.
Coryo furrows his brow, watching warily as a boy about his age walks up to your table. He's ready to step in, maybe this is why you hadn't been coming- because people, boys had been harassing you. He should have seen that coming. You were beautiful, every time he looked at you it was hard to look away again- obviously, this kind of attention would be a common occurrence. He lifts his shoulders and puts down his drink, but he looks at you and you're smiling.
"Hi." You giggle, actually giggle- and it makes Coryo almost just as angry as if this random guy had just threatened you.
He leans his elbows against the table. "Been a long time since I seen you. How you been?" He asks, sipping his beer as he makes dead eye contact with you.
"Only a couple of days, River." You grin.
"Oh yeah, that's right..." He hums. "Been real interested in that book you let me borrow, you know."
"Have you?" You smile, leaning in with excitement, ready to discuss it.
Who was this guy? A friend? Something more? The way you were looking at him, the fact that you let him borrow one of your books made envy swirl in Coryo's stomach. He hated it. He clears his throat to remind you they were there before you got sucked into talking about whatever book you gave the boy.
"Oh." You look up at him. "River, this is-"
"Yeah, who are these clowns? Botherin' you?" He interrupts you, and Coryo is more peeved about that than the fact that he was just referred to as a clown.
"Not in the slightest." You hum. "These are my friends, Sejanus and Coryo. They came all the way from the Capitol just to visit me, isn't that sweet?"
"Ah..." The boy hums, standing back up and holding a hand out for Sejanus to shake before turning to Coryo as he keeps his grip on the back of your chair. "Nice to meet you both, then."
"It's Coriolanus." He corrects you as he shakes the boy's hand, squeezing it probably more than what is polite.
"Oh wow." River's eyes widen and he chuckles, looking down at you again. "You're not really the friendly type I guess. Y/N here can make friends with just about anyone, I suppose."
"River..." You frown, shaking your head at him. Coryo clenches his jaw.
"I'm sorry! Sorry, I'm not great with new people either. That's my bad." He laughs it off, patting Coryo's shoulder as he drops his hand. "Anyway, Y/N, I didn't expect to see you out and about. Holdin' up okay?"
"I'm well. Thank you." You nod, taking another sip of your drink. River was a good friend, maybe even a great one. He works with your father in the mines, he started as soon as he turned eighteen a few months before you. You've become closer since then.
"Glad to hear it." He nods at you, looking around the crowded room. He bottoms his drink, shaking it in your face. "Time for a refill so I'm gonna leave ya be, but shout if you need anything, alright sweetheart?"
"Thank you!" You call after him as he turns to walk off, winking at you.
"Sweetheart." Coryo mumbles into his glass with a slight shake of his head as he watches the boy walk away. You didn't hear him, and he wasn't sure he wanted you to.
"Who's that?" Sejanus asks. "He seems nice."
"We went to school together, now he works with my father," You explain. "but I've known him most of my life. He's very kind, just a little... outspoken. He'll always tell you what he's thinking." You chuckle, and Coryo bites his tongue.
You catch his expression of disapproval. "He didn't mean any harm, just trying to be welcoming. He was nervous, I could tell." Returning your gaze to Lucy Gray up on the stage, you smile and give her a quick wave. She smiles back, nodding at you.
"You never mentioned him." Coryo comments.
"Well, I..." You stop yourself, staring down at your lap. "I had a lot on my mind..."
"Do you know anyone else? Give us the tour." Sejanus suggests quickly, pointing around the room.
You smile, forcing yourself to ignore your worries about how Coryo is feeling. "Almost everyone, yes." You giggle, covering your mouth with your hand as you speak.
"Is that why you didn't want to come?" Coryo asks you and you look up at him again, smile faltering.
"I- It's not that I didn't want to." You answer, fidgeting now with the fabric in your lap. "I just... I don't know. It's hard to... I don't know. Everything feels so difficult these days..." You laugh nervously.
There's that word he was so afraid of. Hard. In reference to something as simple as going out and spending time with your peers- people you had clearly considered friends before the games. It seemed like another lifetime to you, he could see it in the way you so intensely watched yourself pick at your own fingernails. He wished while laying in his bed at night that you were happy here, that your life was normal, even if he couldn't be a part of it; but that was unrealistic and part of him knew that.
"It's okay." Coryo reminds you quickly. "You don't have to explain yourself to us." He smiles, trying to be reassuring. "If you want to leave we can go. Just say the word, Y/N/N."
You shake your head, looking back up at him with that same glowing smile that subtly begs him not to worry about you- but he has to. "It's completely okay." You assure him with a quick wave of your hand. "Okay, so..." You drum your fingers on the tabletop, looking around and attaching names to faces.
"That's Sienna, I went to school with her sister." You point over to a girl in a group of a few others. "And she's with Fern and Hazel, Hazel's the one with the light hair." The boy's eyes follow where you're pointing as you look over at another group. "Oh, and over with River, the taller boy next to him is Rowan." You explain. "His little brother is friends with mine. Then over there, by the stage is Billy Taupe- that's Lucy Gray's boyfriend. Kind of, they're on and off these days."
Coryo nods, trying to commit these names to memory. He didn't plan on speaking to any of them, but if you wanted to, which he doubted, he would try. 
"And that's-" Your voice cuts out so quick it's as if someone had slapped a hand over your mouth when another boy walked up to join the two standing by the bar. Quickly Coryo is looking down at you again as the blood drains steadily from your face. You cough, shaking your head. "Uh, I don't really know anyone else's names." You lie.
"You okay?" Sejanus asks you and you nod, quickly grabbing your glass and taking a few large gulps, the foul taste of beer forcing its way down your throat. 
"Yeah, just, I haven't seen these people in a while."
Coryo watches, jaw clenched tight as River converses with the blonde boy who just walked up to him and your other friend whose name he's already forgotten. River takes a swig from his drink, laughs as he puts the glass down on the bar, and then points over to the three of you. He was telling whoever the hell that was that you were there- and clearly you weren't keen on him.
"Let's go, yeah?" Coryo suggests quickly, abandoning his drink on the table to step in front of you. He extends his hand to help you up which you gratefully take. He could feel your hand trembling in his. 
He squeezes your hand gently, still shielding you from the group of boys. You didn't need to say a word. "Sejanus, I'm going to take Y/N home, are you okay here?"
"For sure." He nods, looking worried now at the very sudden shift in your energy and Coryo's clear protectiveness. "Do you want me to come?"
"No, no. It's okay." You smile, comforted by Coryo's presence behind you. "You stay and have fun."
"Alright, well, I'll see you soon?" He smiles and you nod, but Coryo is already guiding you away.

Call Me Luna
(Stray Kids x Reader)
Chapter 6
6,213 Words
A/N: Sorry that the story is being so slow! I promise it will pick up in a bit! In the meantime, enjoy some Chanlix! Also, just a reminder, when I write something like “‘“this”’”, it means the characters are speaking in English.
TW: Talk of dieting, discussion of sex
After a very eventful day, it hadn’t taken you very long to fall asleep once you had completed your nightly routine. The bed was nice, if a little stiff, and you ordered more room service for dinner, this time knowing what you liked. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as fun as the last time you ate, but you still went to bed full and satisfied.
Then your phone rang and startled you out of your sleep. You didn’t even check the time when you picked up immediately after seeing the caller ID.
“Hello? Chan? Is everything alright?”
“Y/N!”
Well. You wanted the sound of him saying your name tattooed on the inside of your brain.
“What is it, Chan?”
From the other side of the phone call, you could hear a couple different muffled voices before there was a shushing sound.
“Just wanted to hear your voice, really. And make sure you’re okay after today.”
You felt your heart melt a little at that. “I’m fine, great even. You’re all so amazing, this is literally my dream job.”
The muffled voices were even louder, but you still couldn’t make them out. You were curious about them, but didn’t want to pry.
“I’m gonna be honest with you, Y/N. Half of the reason I called is because I need a break from my other members asking questions about you, and when they’re going to meet you, and why they didn’t get to meet you today.” You heard him sigh dramatically. “One of these days I’m actually going to start selling them off to Stays.”
You felt your lips twitch. “How much are you selling them for?”
Chan hummed thoughtfully. “I think I’ll just trade them for their SKZOOs. If someone comes up to me with one, I’ll let them rent that member for an hour.”
You heard an outburst from his side and laughed before replying. “If you do that, there will be a stampede of people at the company building waving their SKZOOs. Anyway, what have you been telling your members about me?”
“That you’re hot!”
Your heart fluttered. Was that…?
“Han! Give me my phone back!”
You heard a commotion and a sharp yelp before someone said something over the phone again.
“I am so sorry, I definitely did not say that- not that I don’t think you’re hot! Or, well, I don’t not think that, but there’s- I don’t want to disrespect you or-”
You couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Chan, it’s alright! I don’t not think you’re hot, either.”
There was a pause from every voice on the other side and you started to wonder if you went too far when you heard a quiet “thank you?”
You smirked at that. “You don’t have to thank me, it’s sort of obvious.”
The other voices started cackling at that and in order to save Chan, you changed the topic. “So, are you still at the studio?”
Seemingly glad of your mercy, he sighed slightly before speaking. “Yeah, but we’re almost finished up. I’ve got Changbin and Hannie with me, plus Seungmin because he said everyone at his dorm kept bragging about getting to meet you.”
Your cheeks suddenly felt very hot. “Really?”
“Yeah, they really liked you. But it’s kind of hard not to. Oh, by the way! Tomorrow I’ll pick you up at the front of the building again and then the two of us are having a meeting with Felix to discuss his heat. Sound good?”
“Sounds great,” you responded, trying your best to stay calm despite what he said about it being hard not to like you.
“Alright! Then we have a recording session, where you can meet the rest of our members.” There was a small eruption of cheers from the other line and you felt your cheeks hurt from how hard you were smiling. “Then, I was thinking we could all go out to dinner, if you’re interested? I figured we could celebrate you meeting all of us and the end of your first week and everything.”
You stifled a snort. “I haven’t actually been here for a full week. I arrived on Tuesday and my first day at the company was Wednesday.”
You heard Chan giggle. “Yeah, well, when you’re with these guys, it’s like dog years or something. Every day actually lasts a week, so really we’ll be celebrating your third week!”
You were glad that hotels were required to have scent blockers on all of the rooms, otherwise the entire floor might have smelled the cacophony of emotions you felt.
Rolling over on your bed, you almost choked on your own saliva when you saw the time on the clock. “Well, as much as I enjoy talking to you, I think that in order to not fall asleep in the middle of my third week, I should go back to sleep. Can I let you go?”
There was a clatter from your phone before you heard Chan’s voice again. “Shit, did we wake you up? Sorry! But yeah, go back to sleep for sure. In fact, we should go back to the dorms. Seungmin fell asleep on Changbin’s lap.”
Fuck, you couldn’t wait to meet them. “Okay then, I’ll see you tomorrow! Get back to your dorms safely!”
“We‘ll try our best. See you tomorrow, Y/N.”
The next time you woke up was much less eventful, your alarm ringing out rather than your ringtone.
You took a few minutes to just lay down and stare at the ceiling. There’s no way that really happened, you thought. There’s no way any of this is really happening.
However, a quick check of your call logs confirmed that you received a call from bangfuckingchan at 3:52 a.m.
Before you could have an existential crisis at too-damn-early in the morning, you decided to get out of bed.
After hanging out with the boys yesterday, you decided to put on an outfit that was a bit more casual, something that didn’t make you feel out of place while they were laying around eating tteokbokki in their sweatpants. You finished your morning routine and got in the car once it arrived.
The drive wasn’t too long, the hotel was just a bit too far to walk so you arrived at the company building quickly.
If there was anything that could rip your earlier doubts from your mind, it was the sight of Chan and Felix waiting on the sidewalk and waving at your van as you drove up.
You were so excited to see them again, you almost tripped when getting out. Luckily, you managed to catch yourself before face planting. Unluckily, it was still far from graceful as you extracted your foot from where it had gotten caught.
You turned to see Chan and Felix jog up to you. Before they were able to say anything about your awkward landing, you blurted out, “What, no coffee today?”
Chan blinked in bewilderment. “Uh… no? Are you alright?”
You furrowed your eyebrows at him in mock offense. “What, you’ve never seen someone get out of a car like that? That’s the style these days.”
Felix grinned at you and turned to Chan. “Yeah, hyung. Everyone is doing it. There’s a dance challenge and everything.”
Chan just sighed at the two of you. “Really?”
“Totally. You probably just haven’t heard about it because you were too busy getting hip surgery, old man.”
You let out a startled laugh at Felix’s joke while Chan’s jaw dropped.
Once he got over his shock, Chan turned his face to the sky and groaned. “Ugh, you need to stop hanging out with Seungmin.”
“We literally live together.”
Chan reached out and pulled Felix’s beanie down over his face. While he struggled to escape, Chan turned back to you and pointed his thumb over his shoulder. “So, there’s a cafe less than a block away, I was thinking we could get some breakfast and then get down to business?”
Felix finally emerged and flicked Chan’s cheek in retribution. Before they could start fighting in the street, you decided to intervene.
“Breakfast sounds perfect. Let’s go!”
You grabbed them by their hoodie sleeves and started walking in the direction Chan had pointed earlier. Felix slid his arm from your grasp to hold your hand normally and you hoped he couldn’t feel how your heart rate sped up. Chan seemed perfectly fine with you hanging on to his shoulder like a sugar glider, but your hand was cramping, so you released him. He glanced back at you before offering you a crooked elbow. You were thankful for the face mask the company required you to wear as a precaution so they couldn’t see how their actions were affecting you.
The walk was short but nice, the three of you striding along in comfortable silence.
Before you knew it, Chan was steering you into a little shop with flowers and herbs on the windowsills. The place was larger than most cafes, but it didn’t take away from the cozy vibe. There were beanbag chairs and couches along with several plants both hanging from the ceiling and settled along the walls. The only lighting was from the windows and the dainty fairy lights winding back and forth across the ceiling like a dazzling spiderweb. There were fuzzy rugs layered on top of each other, each one more cushy than the one before. In the center of the room was a counter with several baked goods on display. There was a worker watering the plants before she turned to you and welcomed you in.
“Wow. Okay, I guess I know where I’m going to work if you guys ever fire me.”
Felix giggled next to you. “I know, right? Just wait until you see the little desserts! If you leave and come work here, I expect you to bring me free leftovers.”
“Deal,” you told him, squeezing his fingers in yours.
Chan unhooked his arm from yours and instead rested his hand on your back, gently pushing you forward until you stood in line.
There was just one person in front of you, so you didn’t have to wait long. Felix shuffled you over to look at the pastries.
You almost gasped at how amazing they looked. There were little cakes shaped like flowers, cookies with hearts frosted on them, muffins with faces made out of chocolate chips.
Felix seemed particularly drawn to a little cat-shaped brownie. The ears were made of little wedges of chocolate and the whiskers were frosted on.
“Do you want that?”
Felix glanced back at you, eyes wide in surprise. “Hm? Oh, well, it looks good but I’m supposed to be dieting. You know, I’ll probably eat a lot during my heat, especially sweets, so I like to just avoid them for a bit before so I’m not eating too much.”
“Felix, Y/N! What do you guys want?” Chan called from the register.
You both told him what drinks you wanted and Felix went off to find a place to sit.
“Actually,” you turned back to Chan. “Can I have the little brownie cat, too?”
“That one?”
“Mhmm.”
“Are you going to fight me to pay for it?” He asked, eyes crinkling above his mask.
“No,” you mused, “I’ve decided that if you want to pay for me that bad, that’s on you. As a matter of fact, why don’t you just buy me the whole shelf of desserts? Maybe all of the drinks too. Or just buy me the cafe. Whatever you want.”
He chuckled at you, shaking his head. “Maybe later. For now, I think a drink and a cat brownie are good.”
You shrugged. “Fine. But let me know when you’re ready to sign the real estate papers.”
Turning around to look for Felix, you found him sitting in a window seat tucked behind a circular coffee table reading something on his phone.
You dropped down next to him, back to the window, and had a mini heart attack when he instantly moved over to rest his head on your shoulder.
“Have you seen this?” He turned his phone so you could read it.
JYP Entertainment Signs On Full-time Caretakers
Earlier this morning, the company revealed that it would be signing on caretakers for a few of their bands. The caretakers’ names or identities were not released, but we did get a list of the bands. Each of these bands have substantial fanbases, so it will be interesting to see how they react to their favorite idols working with a caretaker.
What is caretaking and why would a K-pop band need a caretaker?
Caretaking, while it has become much more common within the last few years, has been around for decades. Usually, only the wealthy could afford them, but nowadays, several people can hire a part-time caretaker with just a click of a button on their phone. However, with a company as influential as JYPE, using the caretakers full-time seems to be the way to go.
The roll of caretakers is to make sure that omegas are happy and content so that they don’t go into omega drop. While companies don’t always tell us why their artists go on hiatus, it is safe to assume that with their stressful jobs, there must have been some danger regarding omega drop, so it’s good that this company is taking their omegan artists’ health seriously.
You let out a noise somewhere between a laugh and a scoff. “Are they serious? They’re making a lot of guesses, and some of this is just straight up wrong.”
“What’s wrong?” Chan asked, showing up to the table and setting down a tray of drinks, along with the cat brownie.
He grabbed the drinks and set one in front of Felix and another in front of you, raising his eyebrows underneath his baseball cap as he sat down across from the two of you.
Felix slid his phone over to Chan. “This morning, the company released a statement about the new caretakers.”
Chan’s eyebrows furrowed. “Yeah? That’s not what’s wrong, is it?”
Felix tapped his phone to bring Chan’s attention to the screen. “This article is just being a bit weird about the whole caretaker thing.” Felix’s eyes shifted to the cat brownie. “Ah, you bought one for yourself?”
You smiled at him. “Well, it looks good, doesn’t it? But it seems a bit big. I’m not sure I could finish the whole thing on my own.”
He glanced between you and the brownie carefully.
“It’s a shame, too. I’d hate to waste food this good by throwing it in the trash.”
His lips pursed together.
“If only there was someone here who reminded me of brownies and cats that I could share it with.”
He huffed. “Hey, noona.”
“Yes?” You hummed.
He closed his eyes and slumped back into your shoulder. “Do you want to share it?”
You gasped theatrically. “Why, that’s a great idea! I can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself!”
You felt him shake with suppressed laughter as you moved the brownie over to cut it.
“Wait!” He yelped, sitting up. “Are you done with my phone?” He asked Chan.
Chan had finished reading the article by now and was watching you and Felix.
He straightened up and passed the phone back. “Yeah, I read it. God, that article. Well, hopefully people will know that that’s not the best source for information about our company or caretakers. I texted our managers, though, and they said it really doesn’t matter what one article says.”
You ran your fingers along your cup. “At least it’s not negative? It does say it’s good that the company is taking your health seriously. Of course, it would be better if they didn’t only mention omegas. All subgenders need caring for. Also, caretakers aren’t just there to prevent omega drop. That makes it sound like we just sit around and read magazines as long as omegas aren’t in danger of omega drop.”
“Hey.” You looked up as Chan reached across the table and took your hand from your cup, holding it in his. “We don’t think you’re just going to sit around reading magazines. We know you worked hard for this, you went to school for years and everything. No matter what people say about you or caretakers in general, we’ve got you.”
Felix looped his arms around your waist. “We’ve got you, noona.”
You squeezed Chan’s hand and ruffled Felix’s hair. “Thanks. I’m not taking it personally though, I just wish people wouldn’t make assumptions like that.”
Both of them nodded at you as you took off your mask, grabbed your drink, and took a sip. “Oh, shit. That’s good.”
They started cackling at your change in attitude when you remembered something from earlier. “Hey, Felix, what did you want to use your phone for?”
His eyes lit up. “Oh! I wanted to take a picture of the brownie and post it on bubble.”
He grabbed his phone and took a picture from above. However, he frowned at his phone one it was done.
“What is it?” You asked, taking another sip of your drink.
He shook his head. “There’s something missing…”
Felix glanced between you and the dessert and you tilted your head in confusion.
“Oh!” He clapped his hands together. “Noona, can I have your hand?”
You raised your hand for him and he took it without hesitation. He moved your hand and his to make a heart shape next to the brownie and took a picture with his other hand.
He brought the phone closer to his face, his freckles dancing as his eyes crinkled.
“Oh!” He looked up from his phone again. “Channie-hyung, did you want to be in the picture?”
Chan had moved his mask under his chin in order to drink his juice, so you could see his face as he smiled. “No, that’s alright Lix. Go ahead and post it.”
Felix nodded as he did just that and set his phone down. “Okay, now let’s see if it tastes as good as it looks!”
You smiled at his enthusiasm. “Sure thing! Will you pass me the knife, “‘“baby”’”?”
The two of you froze and blinked at each other before you realized that you should apologize. “Oh my god, I am so, so sorry. I should have asked to call you that and I didn’t-“
“No, no!” Felix said, waving his hands. “I actually really like being called that.” You couldn’t see much of his face since he still had his mask on, but as he handed you the knife, you could see the tops of his cheeks stretching like he was smiling.
You tightened your fingers around your drink, trying your best not to squeeze it too hard and have it explode on you. “Well, alright,” you replied, summoning your courage, “I guess I’ll have to call you that more often, then.”
Felix’s eyes widened a bit at your comment but before he could respond, Chan cleared his throat. “As much as I love this, we should be getting back to the company soon. You want to eat the cat now instead of taking pictures?”
Felix rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at Chan as you cut the cat into thirds.
“Three?” Chan asked, tilting his head in confusion.
You held up the knife dramatically. “If I don’t argue with you about paying, you don’t argue with me about eating.”
He ducked his head, adjusting his hat. “Ah, fine. Sure.”
You grinned and turned to Felix. “Youngest first, right?”
He shook his head at you. “No, no, you’re new here, you go first, noona.”
You shrugged at him. “Alright.” You picked up a forkful from your third of the cat and held it in front of him.
His eyebrows raised at you. “R-really?”
You narrowed your eyes. “Do you want me to make airplane noises too?”
Felix’s lips twitched up as he leaned forward and ate the brownie off your fork.
“Oh my god,” he groaned, “I love this.”
You took your own bite and instantly understood his reaction. “Holy shit. Did they put the secret to happiness in this or something?”
Chan wheeze-laughed at your antics before taking his own bite. He stopped laughing immediately and his eyes widened. “Wow.”
The three of you quickly finished the cat brownie, Chan and Felix having a mini battle with their forks at one point.
You left the cafe, making sure to remember the name, and walked back to the company the same as before, one arm looped through Chan’s and one hand holding Felix’s.
Once you got to the company building, Chan told you that there was a small meeting room that you would be going to in order to discuss Felix’s heat.
You and Felix followed Chan’s lead as you all piled into the elevator and made your way to a door labeled Meeting Room 32J.
The room itself was fairly plain and it obviously wasn’t in use much. The walls were completely bare, the table was plain black-painted wood with six seats, two on each long side and one on each short side. There were two windows on the back wall and that was about it for decorations.
You sat down on one of the long sides of the table, Chan and Felix across from you, and you all took your face masks off.
You noticed Felix shifting uneasily and thought about how to make him more comfortable. Reaching out your hand, you wrapped it around his own and he glanced up at you from where he’d been staring at the table.
“Hey, “‘“baby”’”,” you murmured, “do you want to take your scent blockers off? And have me and Channie take ours off too?”
He blinked at you before grinning and ducking his head. “Yeah, that sounds nice. Thanks, noona.”
You squeezed his hand. “Of course.”
Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed Chan smiling at you before he started peeling off Felix’s scent blocker with the ease of someone who had done it a thousand times.
Once he’d removed both Felix’s and his own, and you removed yours, Felix visibly relaxed at the blend of scents. With your earthy-floral scent, Chan’s eucalyptus, and Felix’s lemon dessert, the room was overtaken by a nice, sweet, nature-like aroma. You felt relief in your shoulders from tension you didn’t even know you were carrying and sank down in your seat a little.
Chan cleared his throat and sat forward, folding his hands in front of him. “So,” he started, “I’m going to be honest, I don’t know exactly what we need to talk about or how to talk about it, so if one of you two wants to start…”
You giggled. “Chan, I know you’re used to being the leader, but this isn’t my first time as a caretaker. I know what we have to talk about, and what boundaries we need to set, but if I have any questions about specifics regarding idol life and your company, I’ll definitely ask. Is it alright if I lead this meeting?”
His shoulders slumped as he exhaled. “Please do.”
You let go of Felix’s hand to dig through your bag and bring out your notebook and a copy of the band’s files. You flipped the page to the one with Felix’s information and slid the papers over to him.
“This is what they gave me about you and your heat. It’s not much, so we’ll definitely have to go over more specifics about what your heat is like and what you like to do before, during, and after it, but let’s make sure we prioritize. What are some things not in this file that you think I need to know? And the list can be as long or as short as you want it to be.”
Felix and Chan stared at you for a few moments with wide eyes.
You frowned at them and crossed your arms over your chest. “What?”
Felix blinked and read over the file while Chan shook his head at you. “You’re so… professional.”
You couldn’t help but snort at that. “Well, I have been trained for this and I’ve had clients before you, so I like to think that I’m pretty good at it.”
Chan smiled widely at you, showing off his dimples. “You are pretty good.”
You pursed your lips and turned to Felix. “So, anything stick out to you?”
A crease formed between his eyebrows and his fingers clenched slightly around the paper. “Well, I guess all this is true. I like to keep my nests very private. But, there’s a big difference between Hyunjin and I when we nest. That’s one of the benefits to us not having synchronized heats anymore.”
You tilted your head. “Anymore? You used to be synchronized and now you aren’t? What happened?”
Felix bit his lip and glanced at Chan. The alpha raised his hand and started to pet Felix’s back soothingly.
“When Hyunjin had his hiatus, I sort of… went into a surprise heat? A bad one. The doctors say it was basically halfway between a normal heat and an omega drop. So, that wasn’t fun. And Hyunjin’s occurred as scheduled, a couple weeks later. Then the company decided that it was easier to have just one omega in heat at a time. That way one of us can still do individual schedules and it’s easier for the others to take care of us when they’re only taking care of one omega. Plus, we discovered that it’s good to have a grounded omega taking care of an omega in heat.”
You nodded and wrote a few things in your notebook so you wouldn’t forget. “And do you like having separate heats?”
Felix frowned like he was uncertain about how to answer. “I… understand the reason why we have them separately. And I like getting to take care of Hyunjin properly during his heat.” He smiled tentatively. “Honestly, the best thing about separate heats is the nests.”
“Ah, the nests!” Chan giggled.
You couldn’t help smiling in response to their behavior. “What’s this about the nests?”
Felix shifted, rubbing his hands over his thighs repeatedly. “Well, Hyunjin and I don’t fight a lot. Not real fights, anyway, just little arguments. But when it comes to nest building and who is allowed in and where we build it…” His eyes widened like he was telling a ghost story around a campfire. “It’s not pretty.”
“That’s sort of ironic, given that’s it’s the two of you involved.” Chan smirked, brushing a strand of Felix’s hair behind his ear.
Said ear then reddened as Felix’s jaw dropped. “Hyung!”
“What?” Chan asked, a little too innocently.
Felix pursed his lips together and glared playfully at Chan until the alpha poked him in the ribs. “Pay attention, Lix. This is important.”
Felix sputtered back at him. “Wha- me? Hyung, you’re the one who- you pay attention!”
Chan snickered and Felix pouted as they both turned back to you.
You forced yourself to hold back a laugh at their contrasting expressions. “So, tell me more about the differences in your nests.”
Chan smiled at Felix fondly. “Well, for Lixie it’s basically all or nothing, but Jinnie is very particular.”
Felix nodded along. “Yeah, it’s sort of funny. I don’t even like people looking at my nest unless they have explicit permission, but once they get in it, I don’t really care where they sit or if they change the nest. Hyunjin, though,” The corners of his lips twitched. “He likes nesting in common spaces and anyone can go in and out as they please, basically. But, if you move a blanket or a pillow, he gets pretty offended. I still have nightmares about the last time that happened.” He said with a shudder.
Chan closed his eyes and smiled ruefully. “Ah, poor Jisungie. It wasn’t his fault that he tripped when Seungmin grabbed his ankle. It wasn’t even Seungmin’s fault since he was asleep when he grabbed him.” He slid his hands up to cover his face. “That was the worst fight they’ve ever had since they got over that whole ‘dance better, rap better’ thing.”
The corners of Felix’s lips twitched upwards like he was trying to hide a smile. “Even though the nest fight was almost completely one-sided.”
“Hyunjin was angry enough for the both of them.”
“He was angry enough for the eight of us! Do you remember what he did when we tried to defend Jisung?”
“I wish I could forget.”
You didn’t know exactly what they were talking about, but your imagination filled in the gaps of their story and you laughed along with them.
The three of you finally calmed down and you were able to return to the topic.
“So, Felix, you’ve told me you understand the reason you and Hyunjin have different heats, but do you actually prefer it or would you like to try and get in synch again?”
He glanced between you and Chan like he was uncertain. “I’m not really sure. I don’t think I have a preference, and if the company thinks separate heats are better, I’m fine with that.”
You nodded and jotted that down in your notebook. Then, you closed it and set it to the side. “Alright, I think it’s time we address another heat topic.”
“So.” You clapped your hands together and brought them down to rest on the table. “Sex.”
Felix’s jaw dropped as Chan choked. “What?” They gasped, almost exactly in unison.
You shrugged back at them. “Look, I know it can be a bit of an uncomfortable topic, and I know that especially with your career, you’re essentially taught to avoid any discussion of sexuality, but it is pretty important that we can talk about your sex lives comfortably, for you two and all of your members.”
Chan was the first to collect himself, though his ears still blazed. “Alright. What do you need to know?”
You met his gaze calmly and pushed out soothing hormones. “How would you characterize the relationship between everyone in your pack?”
He glanced at Felix before meeting your eyes again. “We’re all in a romantic polyamorous relationship.”
You nodded as more questions filled your brain. “Is everyone in your group dating all seven other members?”
“Yes.”
“Are you all exclusive or does anyone have a relationship with someone outside of the group, either romantically or sexually?”
This time Felix piped up. “No, we’re all exclusive.”
“Okay.” You paused. “This is where it might get even more personal. If anything is too uncomfortable or if you don’t want me to know something, just say so and I’ll back off.”
Chan’s eyes widened. “Really?” His eucalyptus scent sharpened in surprise.
“Yeah, really.” You flashed an amused smile at him. “If you’re uncomfortable around me, that sort of defeats the purpose of having a caretaker, doesn’t it?”
“Huh, I guess it does.” Chan said, a smile forming on his face to match yours. “Ask away, then.”
You took a deep breath and got a heavy dose of eucalyptus scent. It calmed you instantly, the tension in your muscles fading away until it felt like you, Felix, and Chan had known each other for all your lives.
Get it together, you told yourself.
“Do you all have sex with each other?”
They both nodded stiffly in response.
“Alright. And you help each other through your heats and ruts in that way?”
“Yes.”
“Yep.”
You nodded and reached out to Felix, patting his hand gently. He grabbed your hand and began to massage your palm. “Okay, now the questions are going to be a little more focused towards you, “‘“baby”’”. Is that okay?”
He bit his lip and squeezed your hand. “Yeah, noona, I’m good.”
You smiled at him and pulled your notebook over, flipping to the page where you had written your checklist.
“Okay, so since we’re already talking about it, let’s just get it out of the way. How do you like your members to take care of you sexually during your heat? Do you like one person at a time or multiple people? Is sex your main priority when you’re in heat?”
Felix’s fingers twitched against yours and Chan reached over to rub his back. “Well, it really depends on the individual heat. I like having sex during my heat, but mostly I just want to stay close to my pack whether that’s sex or just cuddling. I don’t like being alone much and I really feel like the more the merrier, again, whether it’s sex or cuddling.”
You stroked your thumbs over his hand. “Good job explaining that to me, “‘“baby”’”.”
He blinked at you before ducking his head. “Really? Thank you.”
“Of course. Now, what does your preheat and postheat look like?”
Chan interjected. “Wait, postheat? What’s that? I thought that as soon as the heat was over, that’s it.”
You hummed thoughtfully. It wasn’t unusual that he wouldn’t know about postheat. Most omegas didn’t even know about it. “Postheat is when the heat is over, most omegas like to do a day or two of selfcare to allow their bodies and minds to get back to normal. It’s a bit overlooked, even by some omegas, especially the ones who are anxious to get back to the other parts of their lives. However, making sure your omega is happy during postheat is the best way to avoid omega drop.”
Chan’s eyes widened as he glanced between you and Felix. “Really? Oh, shit, I feel really bad about not knowing this.”
Felix shook his head and turned his face to Chan. “Hyung, you always take care of me and Jinnie even if you didn’t know. It’s not like you abandoned us once our actual heat was over. Also, I didn’t even know about postheat.”
You nodded along with Felix’s words. “Yeah, Chan, I only know because of my caretaking education. But you don’t really seem like the type of alpha to just leave your vulnerable omega to go get a coffee or something. Also, if you want, I can send you some academic articles on the best things to do during postheat and the things to avoid.”
He smiled shyly. “Ah, thank you. That would be great.”
You turned back to Felix. “So, preheat, postheat, what do you like during that time?”
His eyebrows furrowed as he considered your question. “Well, I like to make a nest during my preheat instead of waiting until my actual heat. I eat a lot of sweets. I actually like to bake a bit before and then I eat those.”
Chan giggled. “A bit? You bake enough to feed an army!”
Felix raised one hand defensively, the other still clinging to yours. “Hey, I can’t help it! It’s my deep, dark omegan instincts telling me I have to provide food or my dumbass alphas will starve.”
Chan laughed even more at that. “You know we can just order food, right? Or go grocery shopping? Also, I love your food but we can’t survive on just brownies for a week.”
Felix grinned at that. “I know that in my head. But the rest of me doesn’t really care about all that. Anyway.” He turned back to you. “My postheat is basically just cuddles and bath time. And more eating.”
“That sounds like a great routine,” you commented.
He nodded, smile going a little smug. “It is pretty great.”
“Oh, shit,” Chan blurted, looking at his phone. “It’s almost time to meet the others in the studio.” He studied yours and Felix’s interlocked hands. “Are we ready to head up, or do you want to talk more? I can tell them to wait if we need to stay.”
You shook your head and released Felix’s hand to stuff your notebook back into your bag. “Nope, I’ve got all the good stuff. If I remember anything else, I’ll just ask. Unless either of you wanted to ask me something?”
They had both stood up, ready to head out, but they paused at your question. Then, Felix raised his hand tentatively. “Are you going to be there during my heat? Or do you just wait until it’s over and take care of the other members in the meantime?”
You took a breath, considering what to say. Unfortunately, Chan had already put on a scent blocker, so you could barely smell the eucalyptus and it didn’t have the same effect as last time. “Well, it’s mostly up to you. If you feel comfortable with me by then and want me in your dorm, then I can hang around and take care of you, but if you don’t want me around at all, I totally understand and won’t be offended. We don’t have to decide right now, especially since you might not even know what your omega will want until it’s your preheat or your actual heat. So, take your time and think about if you want me there or not.”
Felix nodded, smiling at you as you both put on your scent blockers.
“Alright!” Chan clapped. “Are you ready to see where the magic happens?”

okay fine you asked. what originally prompted me rambling was this because it makes me dizzy how we literlaly saw dream discover how he wanted to present and take care of himself as someone who had a radical change in the middle of the pandemic and then literally relearn to exist now with millions of people that know Him and of Him. because there's something about men that literally look good and Know they look good ..... while he looks so cute and sweet with his clean shaven beard and short hair he clearly likes to take care of himself and his new slightly more defined curls and well kept yet strong beard defines his face so well :( it also highlights his eyes and nose and maybe that’s why i’m so obsessed with drawing his blush because it’s just prominent?? and it makes him look so fucking good but also really cute. i remember someone said that his face was full of small contradictions that just made his face very intriguing to look at and i cannot agree more because while i just really find his nose and lips cute his jaw and eyes just make me want to faint AND THIS IS JUST HIS FACE AND HAIR. i cannot start talking about his hands or else i will go into cardiac shook they’re so big?? and skilled?? this is definitely because he sounds hot when he plays minecraft and is cocky (CONFIDENCE!!!) and also big hands are just a PLUS no matter who you are but his are also very delicate they look so fucking Soft and well taken care for. his body shape is so attractive too HE’S SO FUCKING TALL… and his shoulders are really really big and we KNOW this fucker is strong and has great resistance (does anyone think aboutthe fucking. walking for hours. I DO.) And we all know his dick is big. Thank god for dream. this is actually 300 wordsmy bad 
this is rlly incredible thank you. srsly though i think I remember that post you’re talking about with him having “contradictory” features FUCKKKKK who posted that does anyone remember… anyway he’s just so satisfying to look at like his blend of masc and fem features is just gorgeous it’s just really nice to see him come into his own and become more confident liek dohfgdbmdkfohmy god I’m gonna cry I’m so proud of him … my beautiful bagel forever :((((

LW
a/n: I don't know what to say so just fuck off Rubiales, Vilda and the Spanish Federation
Tumblr media
*not my GIF*
Pairing; Laura Wienroither x Chelsea WFC! Reader; Chelsea WFC x AustriaWNT!Reader (also Zinsby x platonic!reader)
Summary: You love Laura since as long as you can remember but she's oblivious so, this season you decide to get more direct but you can't count on your teammates for help.
Type: Fluff AF
Warning: nothing
word count: 1916
note: in a univer where the two LW never tore their ACL
--------
You've known Laura since you were young. You both played together back in Austria, and you quickly fell in love. Well, the problem was that even if you showed her your affection in every possible way (staying polite and respectful, of course), she never got it.
Coming back to England after the national break, you had one idea in mind: definitely confess your feelings for the last time. But you didn't want to be rude or anything, so you needed a plan.
And what is more helpful than an almost-married couple on your team for love advice? So, for your first day back at training, you were quick to find Magda and Pernille, who were chatting about something.
"Moms, I need your help." You declared getting instantly their attention, as well as other teammates' in the room. "I want to confess my feelings to Laura, and I need advice."
There was silence for only two seconds before all the room burst into clapping and cheers. All your teammates knew that you loved the defender since you joined the club last summer, and it was confirmed when they saw how you act around her every time you played against Arsenal.
"And that's when we make our apparition." Sam said, sliding to your right side, while Guro was sliding to your left side.
"Uh, well, actually, I wanted..."
"Don't worry, Y/n, we're the best wingmen, well, wing women, you could dream of." The Norwegian cut you off, making some of your teammates laugh.
"I really appreciate that, but..."
"Where are we starting?" The Australian said this time, "Oh, I know. We can make a big panel with 'Laura, I love you' written on it."
"Yeah, and you could show up at their next match with it." The winger approved.
"But I think we can do better than that." Sam said, she was really thinking deeply about that.
"Don't you think we should stop them?" Pernille whispered to the Swedish defender.
"Yes, but I want to know how far they'll go," Magda admitted.
And that's how the whole training session went: the two players proposed some extravagant ideas, and you politely refused them.
"And if we do something more simple?" You asked, gaining their interest, and you watched around to see something that could help you until you spotted Eve. "We can just write her a poem with flowers." You proposed.
"It sounds boring." Guro said, hurting your feelings.
"Yeah, totally overacted." Sam confirmed.
"Well, at least it's still the most realistic thing to do." Niamh said, coming from nowhere.
"Yes, and it's still pretty romantic if you find the good words." Jessie added.
The two strikers looked at each other for a long moment before agreeing, "Okay, we will try that." The Norwegian said.
You released a breath you didn't know you were keeping and thanked your auto-designated sisters. Now, the second step was to write the best poem, and for that, you had an idea.
Back in the locker room, you were searching for someone when you collided with Magda. "Hey, careful little one. Why are you running?"
"I convinced Sam and Guro not to do one of their plans, and now I need help to write a poem." You replied.
"A poem? It seems pretty romantic." The Danish said.
You didn't stay longer and resumed your way to the locker room, where you found your French teammates. "Eve, I need your help."
"The last time you said you needed somebody's help, which was literally a few hours ago, you finished being chased by Sam and Guro during the entire training session." She gently reminded you, making you laugh.
"View it like this; it's a little funny." You admitted. "But really, I really need your help. I convinced Sam and Guro to give up their crazy for something more... realistic. And now I need someone who knows how to write a poem."
"I don't know why, but it sounds more unrealistic than their crazy ideas." The French player joked. "I'm not really good at writing poems, so let's not talk about writing them in English or German, but I can suggest some famous poets if you want."
"It would be fantastic." You said. After a few names written in your notes and a little drive back home, you were ready. You spent almost all your next free day writing it, and when you were proud enough, you let your teammates give their opinions.
"Honestly, it's pretty cool." Millie said.
"Yeah, we can feel all the love you have for her." Pernille added, making you more proud.
Now only one last step remains in your plan.
A few days later, Laura was ready to train with her teammates when Katie came in the locker room with a letter.
"Girls looked at what I found. They said it was for some of us, but there is not a name, just the initial LW." After hearing this, Manu almost groaned in exasperation.
She was aware of your crush on the defender; she was the one who made you realize it, and she was the one who convinced you to finally confess your feelings. You read her the letter, and her reaction was the same as your teammates'.
Everything was good, but she should be prepared for you messing up at least one thing.
"And there are flowers too." Stina remarked.
Lia Walti and Laura were focused on the flowers, while Leah Williamson was reading the letter loudly. When she finished, everyone in the locker room was shocked by this. It was more than good; for some, it was maybe the best thing they heard, but one question was on everyone's mind.
"Who wrote this?" Katie asked.
Leah looked at the bottom of the paper, and her eyes were wide open. "Y/n Y/l/n." She announced.
"What, Y/n, like Chelsea's player?" Jen asked.
"Apparently yes." The blonde captain replied, a little surprised by that.
"Well, now the important question is, who's LW?" Manu asked, trying discreetly not to put more pressure on you.
"Well, she's not clear about. She talks about a recent injury, but the three of us had a recent injury, so I don't know." Lia replied.
"Well, if I remember correctly, we play them tomorrow, so maybe you could ask her after the game." Frida said.
Meanwhile, Laura was processing everything. It was impossible that it could be her; maybe you just fell in love with one of the older players during your first season here. She didn't know, but somewhere in her mind, she felt like she would be sad if you didn't talk about her.
The next day was match day. You were really worried because Manu told you the next night that you messed up with the most important part of the plan, and now her teammates are trying to figure out for whom you wrote this.
In the locker room, Magda sensed that you were a little stressed by that and tried all she could to relax you. "You can always tell her everything in person if she doesn't understand it." She told you, joking about how many times you tried to be subtile, but the defender never got the hints. "You just need to be you. You're an amazing person, and I'm sure she doesn't need a poem or flowers to see that, but you'll need all your courage today to tell her how you feel after we beat them, okay?"
Like your captain predicted, you won the game, and you even assisted on a goal. But now the real thing could start. On your way to Arsenal's side, you were stopped by some teammates wishing you good luck. You walked to your destination until you were stopped by two figures just before you reached your national teammates.
"I think we need to talk." Leah said with a treating tone. You looked at the two of them, a little confused.
"I think she wants to say that maybe you have something to say to us." Lia corrected when she noticed how you seemed uncomfortable.
"Uh, I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but what are you talking about?" You asked.
"What do you mean you don't know–" Leah started to say a little irritated by the situation, but she was cut off by her teammate.
"Who is LW?" Lia asked. It took a moment for your brain to understand what was happening. The two players, the irritated tone, LW, and—wait, LW? The letter?
"Oh, my god, are you talking about the letter?"
"Yes, we're talking about the letter. What did you expect?" The blonde captain asked.
"But why did you read the letter?"
"Because you wrote it." The brunette said this time.
"Wait, does one of you have a crush on me?"
"What? Of course not!" They told you at the same time. "But you have a crush on us," the English player added.
"Me? Of course not. Well, don't get me wrong, but my heart already belongs to someone else."
"So why did you write something like this if you already love someone?" The Swiss captain asked.
"Because LW is Laura." You said like it was obvious (technically it was). There was a little silence after your words; the two Arsenal players exchanged an awkward look before they looked behind them to finally notice the Austrian player.
Laura seemed shocked by the news. Fortunately, the two older players left you after they apologized for this misinterpretation.
"Oh." The defender said.
"Yeah. Oh." You repeated.
"But since when?"
"I don't know, maybe since we played together back in Austria."
"Wow, it's been a long time then. But why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Are you kidding me?" You rolled your eyes. "I really spent all my time giving you hints. It was so obvious that Sarah and Laura treated to lock us in a closet until I found the courage to confess. And it was only on our second camp."
"Wow, now I feel stupid." She said, and you laughed a little. "I mean, at the last camp, I heard you talk with Sarah P, and you said that you already had a pretty girl in mind when she asked you about meeting one of her teammates."
"Yes, that's because this pretty girl is you." You said and almost cringed at how it seemed cheesy.
Laura played with the hem of her shirt a moment before she met your eyes. "Can I ask you something?"
"Go on."
"Do you want to go on a date with me?"
You were shaking, unable to control yourself. "Yes, of course yes." You replied, and she smiled.
"Can I ask you another thing?"
"Yes."
"Can I kiss you?" At this moment, it was like your soul was leaving your body; you felt too much happiness for a lifetime. You nodded with a big smile on your face. She approached you, and being smaller than you, she landed one hand on your shoulder while the other cupped your face. She pushed on her toes and gently pressed her lips against yours.
"Finally!" Manu yelled. "It started to be physically painful to see you two in the same room doing nothing but looking at each other like teenage girls."
You pulled away to give her the middle finger until you heard Pernille said "Behave Y/n." You groaned but returned your attention to the girl in front of you, pressing a quick peck on her lips before joining your teammates.

i love your lilbro!nagi fics sm!!♡ and the nagi's older sis!reader having a enemies to lovers with itoshi sae would be just🤗🤭😋😙😚☺️☺️ it makes me twirl my hair and giggle like a highschool girl in love so🤐🤐🤐🤐 maybe a small fic, if it is not a bother? have good day feel free to ignore xx
YOU'RE THE WORST.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: itoshi sae x fem!reader
warning: manga spoilers, cussing, reader is nagi's older sister ( i love you guys for doing these hehe ), reader is also a pro athlete. timeline where the blue lock project already ended (multiple timeline also), 3 years older than sae. mentioned other chars. english is not my first language...
note: idk what the hell is this plot. idk much about sports (im srs, im not a sport person. i throw balls that didn't even reach the person im targeting) i love sae he's sec fave to me (chigiri is on top), i personally don't see nagi having a relationship with someone. i liked the idea of him having a siblings and you guys really loved my older sister nagi reader 🤭 (i like it too). happy 200 followers!!!
Tumblr media
your first meet with itoshi sae was when he went to picked a striker for the u-20 vs blue lock match. you were one of the people that helped with the blue lock project, despite your precious little brother being there. you didn't revealed to your brother that you were one of the people. you were always behind the scenes. what you meant is, you were one of the people for the wild card. itoshi sae locked eyes with you for a moment but the male completely ignored your existence.
you were a bit offended but that's that, too think he would choose that shidou guy. literally what's in that goddamn mind of that midfielder. "[name], i never expected for your brother to developed quickly." you glanced at anri, crossing your arms. "looks like he found his dream." with a gentle smile, you looked at the screen that displayed your brother.
something that i could never had. a dream.
on the day of the match, you didn't even tried to hide your identity. despite being a famous athlete with many rewards received. oh, what a luck — you coincidentally met itoshi sae while on the way to the blue lock locker's room. "we have met before, right?" monotone voice. he had always have that type of voice. to think he still remembered you from that time when you two were still a child. it was only one time though, when you guys met as kids.
"yeah."
"nii-chan, the ice cream im looking for isn't here..."
"are you looking for this?" child you met itoshi sae and his younger brother at a convenience store. the teal eyes of the younger brother looked at you and the ice cream back to back, feeling awkward by it, you just gave the ice cream to the younger brother. you saw how his eyes lit up and for some reason it warmth your heart seeing the younger boy happy — maybe because it reminded you of your own little brother...
"you should thank her, rin."
"it's okay. i don't mind."
"thank you, nee-chan!"
ah. how cute. you definitely won't forget these two siblings that you coincidentally met. one had a clean hairstyle while the other have a messy and horrible hairstyles (you know who you are). what an interesting pair. you waved to them goodbye and after that you never met them again.
"i never thought you will remembered me after all these years."
"i was just guessing."
bullshit
"if you'll excuse me, i have somewhere to go.."
sae suddenly tug on the sleeve of your blouse and he looked at you with an unreadable expression. "you're coming to watch for who?" why is he asking you this? it's not like you guys were close or anything. tbh, ppl who tug or touch you and not to mention if they're a stranger, you will definitely get annoyed by them. "i came for blue lock... itoshi." he let go off your sleeve after he hears the irritated voice you have even though you were smiling. itoshi sae weren't really stupid in this kinds of stuff.
you waved him goodbye just like last time...
seeing your precious little brother you rush up to him and hug him. nagi wasn't expecting a hug to come so basically the two of you fell, with nagi being the pillow. "ouch." nagi groaned, the blue lock players didn't expect someone to come (other than anri and ego) and suddenly hugged nagi. wait a minute.
the person who just hugged nagi seishiro seems familiar...
"isn't that [stage name]? the famous female badminton player." hiori spoke up among them.
wait what.
a shocked gasps could be heard around the room, some are uninterested and some are flabbergasted how nagi could know someone so famous. reo watched the scene and didn't expected this either, he also didn't know that you would come to the match since he didn't even contact you (nagi also didn't).
the female was patting nagi's head also! some were jealous of nagi because a famous and a beautiful woman is doing that to him. just what are their relationship?
"sei, do your best on the match, okay? nee-san will be watching you."
WHAT. [stage name] is nagi's older sister. jaw dropped, mouth open.
"bye bye!"
just as you got out of the room, everyone looked at nagi. nagi being nagi, he made a confused face with his signature :x face. reo took the honor of explaining that, yes; indeed you were nagi's sibling. the fact that you having a siblings wasn't mentioned at all on the internet and suddenly you were revealed as nagi's older sister to them was shocking enough. no one knew of this information, i mean even your name isn't your real name.
Tumblr media
in another country...
the blue lock project ended, you have nothing to do with it now. your little brother become a pro soccer player and the fact of you being his older sister went viral on every platform — 'the number one female badminton player in the world is nagi seishiro's older sister!? how long have she kept this from us?" you scrolled the comments on twitter about the post and had a laugh with it since some of the replies were just ridiculous.
'holy shit what... my bae [stage name] have a little brother?!? how could i have not known this.'
'is this a family full off prodigy? they should show us their parents too!' that's probably never gonna happen, you thought.
'ZOO WEE MAMA, BOTH OF THEM ARE FABULOUS JUST LIKE THE ITOSHI BROTHERS!!!' oh? interesting. being compared to those two brothers.
'[stage name] future's partner are gonna be so lucky...' your future partner, you don't think that you could find one tbh. maybe if you quit being this exhausting pro athlete, you would find one.
ding!
who?
huh.
itoshi sae?
ah, no.
it's an interview request and the other people that you would work with is itoshi sae...
you immediately accepted it, the reason for it was simple. you were bored and maybe having itoshi sae, the man who is very rude to interviewer and working with him on this interview might be interesting. you just wanted to find some fun in your life.
everything was ready for the interview, your clothes, makeup, mic on and everything. they said that you and itoshi sae will be answering questions with a lie detector on. it was a good idea. you want to see the face on itoshi sae change, even in the slightest, you would be happy with it. you greeted the staff with a smile while itoshi sae is beside you being quiet.
"let's get this over with." sae murmured with a slight annoyance voice. averting your gave from him, you look at the set-up for the interview. a seat across from each other with a table in the middle — on the table, there's the device called the lie detector (made from the mikage corporation, this is the real deal). you two sat across from each other with hands already set in the lie detector.
"ready? action!"
let's just escape the greetings and move to the questions...
"itoshi sae, what's your first impression of [stage name]. you two may have met, right? on the u-20 japan soccer team vs blue lock!"
"i didn't really talk to her but one thing about her is fake smile."
"why is that?"
"just a feeling."
this guy... is really only good at soccer. he really can't make something up, huh? was my smile really fake that time? blunt much. i can't show my annoyance to it, i just have to act like i always do.
the lie detector make a sound of approvement — indicating he was telling the truth. you just hoped that after this interview it wouldn't go wrong on the internet. you hated how he knows that you're faking it, you have always been good at lying, everything. without the presence of your parents, you became independent on you own and the aunties around your neighborhood always have something to say about your parents or your little brother. you hated it. you hated how they gave backhanded compliments to you — saying that you are a good girl and maybe you should become their daughters instead of your parent.
"[name], you should stop trying too hard. get some rest."
"will they come?"
"[name]..."
i just wanted my parent attention, that's all. i mean, i have been dedicating my life on nagi. i just want some attention — i don't want attention from my friends but my parent. that's all i ask for, maybe if they did give me attention one day. maybe i can quit being the 'prodigy'. im tired, i don't find anything fun anymore. i have lost that feeling ever since i started doing sports.
"[stage name], what about you? what's your first impression of itoshi sae."
"he's really blunt, straightforward, very serious. personality like him would never find a girlfriend."
"what."
itoshi sae finally talked to you. you could definitely feel the annoyance radiating off him after you said that. the staff sweats at the both of you and yet you still kept a smile on even after saying that. you could go cancelled for this or be praised — it looks like the lie detector didn't sense a lie from you and make a ding sound. he frowned at you and you averted your eyes from him, looking around the room.
"this is a question for you both. if you were to live in a fantasy world with monsters. will you guys worked with eachother."
"no."
the fact that the both of you replied at the same time. twitter gonna have so much fun with this interview when it comes out... and luckily the two of you didn't get that electric shock. you sigh at the awkward silence after that and wished this interview will end.
"do you like soccer, [stage name]? considering your little brother is also a soccer player like itoshi sae."
"just to not get shock by the lie detector... i don't really liked soccer. i don't mind it but i probably have some memories with it that i don't want to remembered."
ding!
'no shock...' sae thought, he was actually glad that you didn't say anything bad about soccer. you and him already have a problem with each other tho.
time flies fast and finally the interview ended. you stretched your arms as it were a little sore. you prepared yourself to leave the building but you wanted to do one last thing before you go. "itoshi, it was nice working with you." sae felt like that was backhanded. your voice didn't sound convincing enough that he was a pleasant to work with at all. it was sarcastic even.
"i don't want to work with you again."
"you'll be seeing me a lot more."
why are you ain't even bothered with sae. even when he said that. "btw, you should probably reconcile with your brother. it won't do you any good." you added before leaving him alone. reconcile with rin? how is sae gonna do that, if he doesn't even have any communication skills (the two brothers suck at socializing but sae is still better at that). anything that comes out of your mouth is just nonsense (in denial).
what the hell.
how did sae meet you again, at his practice too? you waved at him when you two locked eyes and he glared at you for your friendliness towards him. he was too focused on his thoughts that he didn't even noticed you are already beside him. sae's leg was stepping on the soccer ball, you looked at it and stole it from him (using your legs ofc). sae was startled from the sudden feeling of the ball's absence and he saw you running away with the ball.
sae wanted to open his mouth and said something but went against it. he chased after you to get the ball back from you. luckily, there was no one there to witness the two of you — it will become an embarrassing moments for you and him. "you probably have only played soccer once?" sae did managed to catch up with you and you stuck out your tongue at him — you dribbled past him. "you're going easy on me, right? well, don't do it. go all out."
that definitely lit a spark inside sae. you? a badminton player challenging him? he maybe is underestimating you, but that didn't mattered at this point. he will show you, how good he is. while you were basically fighting for the ball, you two were exchanging remarks and sae was glad you could handle his cruel remarks.
it felt like rivalry at this point. you two weren't even in the same sports...
"stop disappointing me, itoshi."
"shut your damn mouth."
"my parents will cry if they heard that from you."
you were definitely a genius — he won't denied it anymore, you managed to score two goals against him. you said that you only watched clips. "yk itoshi, maybe if we're friends.. i will tell you my secrets." it felt like you were mocking him. it felt like the time he was in spain, the feeling when he was..
'he's not saying anything.' you looked at him and stopped your movements. he also stopped — he is definitely giving you a death stare now. is he gonna devour you? probably not.
"we should stop."
"no."
sae is definitely closer to you now — despite having a tall figure for a woman, sae was still taller than you and he was practically kinda trying to assert dominance (in your perspective). this is his weakness, and you found it.
"atleast, i don't sleep 5 hours a day."
ah, he was only going to say that.
"are you stalking me? i didn't know the itoshi sae is a stalker!"
"im not."
in the end, he's still not good enough. he knew he lose to you and you were still smiling like a crazy person to him. he feels a nudged and saw a water bottle up his face, you gave it to him. you didn't say anything to him and just quietly sipped your water bottle without even looking at him. sae was a different story, he keep on side glances to his side — which is you. you had an unreadable expression, your eyes weren't shining, it never was, even when you were playing soccer with him minutes ago. you were smiling but your eyes isn't.
is he the first one to noticed this side of you?
things happened between you two. some people thought you were rival. some people shipped you two, which is funny. some people just found you two as a funny duo. the social medias actually went crazy when the interview video came out. not expecting a duo like you two to came up. they also thought that itoshi sae would actually rejected the offer since you know...
they had a blast with it.
'LMAOOOO, [stage name] IS SO BRAVE FOR SAYING THAT SAE IS RUDE.'
'sae was side eyeing [stage name], fr.'
'me personally wouldn't let that slide if someone said that im faking a smile.'
'say thank you to this show for letting us see this unexpected duo!!'
'PLSPLSPLS I WANT TO SEE THE NAGI'S SIBLINGS NEXT ON THIS SHOW. IT WOULD BE SO FUN!'
'have you guys ever thought what's [stage name] real name is? i mean we know that her surname is nagi, then what's her first name?'
replies:
'if she doesn't want to reveal it, it's her choice.'
'who cares.'
'lmao, she already stated that her name is a secret she doesn't want to reveal.'
Tumblr media
your relationship with sae developed more over the years. you could probably see some edits of them at tik tok from time to time as a duo they said. his cold remarks make you wanna slap him but you would get cancel for that. you had some photoshoot with him. surprisingly he was ACTUALLY a pleasant to work with. you pity the interviewer who had to face his cold behavior in the past — but you still slightly dislike itoshi sae.
eating a pavlova at a cute cafe that you find aesthetically pleasing to the eyes while you were taking a walk. you were just scrolling on your phone, texting your little brother if he's doing good there. tbh, you missed taking care of nagi. even if your childhood was basically forced to be taken away from you the moment nagi was born. itoshi sae and his brother had a strained relationship based on your observations, you wouldn't know much about it since both of them are private of their life and doesn't revealed it to the public (just the same as you). you could see it that sae still cared for his brother since rin would do anything to avoid him but sae is making a slight effort at talking to him.
they would never reconcile at this point. it's pointless if they're sitting around without taking action — but fortunately you're not one to get involved into family matters.
oh how lucky it is that this party is called the 'blue lock reunion' — is your secret of being involved with the blue lock project gonna be revealed? only one good thing is that you get to see your brother. "you actually did come, [stage name]." anri was the first one to greet you and you greeted back to her. she said that ego is also in the party well technically she forced him too. you had some things to catch up with her and soon enough you leave the conversation and just basically roam around the party. you looked at your surroundings on how the former blue lock players were so happy. they admitted that they actually missed ego and anri. "nee-san? what are you doing here." i guess it's time for you to come clean...
"ahaha... i was one of the staff.."
"what."
"yeah."
"you were in japan all along when i was in blue lock?"
you hummed and didn't say anything yet until you were pulled into a hug by you own brother. you felt like crying because this is the first time nagi actually hugged you since it was always you giving the affection. maybe, nagi was homesick... you patted his back and laugh it off. why is your little brother taller than you so much?
"thank you, nee-san. for taking care of me all these years."
why is he thanking you? it was your responsibility to take care of him — but, it's nice to see nagi matured now.
"sei, you've matured."
this was such a scene to cry on for nagi's friend. the hug only lasted for 5 minutes (nagi wanted more minutes but you said you were tired of tip toeing to him). the fact that nagi was talking alot, only to you tho. like he was basically telling you everything that happened to catch up with you. in a corner, there was basically someone who was staring at you two, probably thinking if that could be him and his brother one day. like the old days. basically you were looking at nagi in a loving manner, like a mother does.
at this point, your social battery went out. you feel like the party has gone for too long. it was exhausting you. a matter of fact, you just wanna lay in bed right now but that didn't work as there was a familiar face walking towards you. you guess it, it's itoshi rin. the younger brother of itoshi sae. if you mentioned sae right now, rin might just turned away from you or looked at you with disgust because you said that man's name.
"[stage name], are you dating him?"
"eh?"
you felt like your soul was coming out of body. visibly shocked that rin would ask you that. you thought he was just gonna say something and immediately left after that. is he thinking that his brother is dating you?
"im not dating anyone though..." you stated and rin looked at you suspiciously.
"good."
basically that was the first interaction you had with itoshi rin. both of them are really similar in personalities. itoshi sae would kill you if he heard that. you decided that you are gonna leave the party so you searched for anri to informed her, you were going to left but she was nowhere to be found so you only told your brother and left. you wanted to have some time alone. you rode your motorcycle in the middle of the night like you used to do when you were in highschool. your usual stop is a beach and god decided to give you a surprise.
itoshi sae was at the beach gazing at the sea. you doubt that he didn't heard the motorcycle sounds, he's probably here for the same reason as you. the light from the moon shone against the sea wave creating a beautiful scenery for you and him. he didn't looked back to see the person who decided to disturb his peace at the beach.
"didn't know you could ride a motorcycle, [stage name]." ah, he knew it was you and yet he still didn't bothered to look at you. his voice was slightly off from the tone of voice you used to hear from him.
"everyone have their own melancholy time. right, itoshi?"
you always came here to gathered your thoughts when you were in highschool.
"you're the worst for not giving me an alone time."
"don't be like that, itoshi. i have always come to this place when i was a teenager."
"then share this place with me. bring me with you whenever you want to go to this place."
"is this your way of saying 'i love you' to me?"
"hmph."
he's not denying it. is he being serious? this is the first time someone confesses to you like this. it was always with the straightforward i like you and those typical cheesy lines that you could see in a romance drama. for the first time, sae turned his back from you.
"you're not smiling."
"do you want me to smile all the time?"
"i don't care if you're not smiling but... i want you to smile with your eyes once."
you slightly widen your eyes at what sae said. did he saw your expression just now? what's with this guy always understanding you. he reminds you of someone, someone you left long ago. your lips turned into a thin line before you spoke again.
"sure, i will bring you to this place whenever i want too."
the winds from the beach make your silky hair to be swayed from it. you looked beautiful to him. is this the end of your rivalry with him? yup, definitely. the start of a new relationship with you. maybe you will smile with your eyes for him now.
"itoshi, have you played with the water here?"
"sae."
"you want me to call you that?"
"yeah."
"didn't know you like older woman."
"and i didn't know you like a younger man from you."
"pfft."
a few weeks after you guys became lover, you guys relationship was publicly announced by an acc that keep track of what's happening in the soccer community. some people did believed it untill the two of you released a statement. you two qrt the post.
'yes, i am dating the world famous badminton female player. stop saying it's fake news under the post.'
'yeah, i am dating the itoshi sae. lol.'
the relationship between you two shocked the world and especially the former blue lock players. your brother cannot believe it but he also release a tweet. the fans thought that this was a funny moments now they are only waiting for the other itoshi to release a tweet too to captured this moment.
'lmao, i also didn't know my sister was dating someone.'
replies:
'WHAT THE HELL.. EVEN NAGI DIDN'T KNOW HAHAHHAHA.'
'now i wanna know what does the other one thinks.'
'that's crazy bro...'
'we need update about their relationship and how it happened.'
"meow."
your pet cat was purring at your lap. the cat already ate, and it was probably feeling playful. your cat was a british shorthair breed. what's the cat name? lokhi. loki but with a h. you just wanted the cat to fit choki, you brother's cactus. it you who gifted it to him. you found it funny how now you're dating itoshi sae. you've never dated anyone in your life neither have you liked someone too. do you love sae? yes. he was one of the people that understand you and you have no doubt that sae haven't dated someone either. so you two basically were a rookie at dating but things worked out!
you two have a tight schedule and fortunately after the big revealed you two are dating, alot of shows are begging for you two to come to do the interview but you didn't wanted that. you only took the photoshoot offer with sae. you especially liked the time when you two photoshoot for dior. it was the little moments that you loved.
intentionally brushing your hands at sae's hand and he looked at you, confused — you're just making an innocent face at him. it's funny really how you two are still trending on twitter. people are still freaking out by this and you kinda felt bad for rin when the day you got together with sae was the day rin asked is the two of you dating. you just hoped that whenever sae get back to japan to visit his parent, rin wouldn't say anything.
two years in the relationship and you smiled with your eyes for the first time on the 1st anniversary. you were happy that sae stayed with you, giving you the attention. the unconditional love you never had from your parents. he knew you loved cinnamoroll, so he gave you a bouquet of it. your parents knew of you two relationship. sae's parent response was positive but for your parent... i mean they were traveling around the world, who cares about their opinion.
you never thought that he would be your first love and lover. you hope that he was the groom to your bride. oh, not to mentioned you met his parent formally and his brother too.. ofc. you managed to make rin like you and reconcile their strained relationship and yet you still see them not talking to each other from time to time. you doted on rin because it feels like you were taking care of nagi. sae didn't said anything about doting on his little brother, he appreciates it since it feels like the first time the brothers met you.
you liked ice cream. they do too.
sae become more affectionate with you now since it was always you gotta peck him on the lips. you definitely want to marry this guy and he want to marry you too.
Tumblr media
note: done. this thing is more than 1k, im sure of it. WAJJH IM FINALLY FREEEE.. i don't really think this is enemy to lover so I'm really sorry for this like umm weird shit idk lah... have fun.

love is here | lee seokmin
genre: fluff, established relationship, college! seokmin
Tumblr media
pairings: lee seokmin x gender neutral reader
warnings: none
word count: 777
note: not my best work, but seokmin’s the best boy and he deserved something
truly, you wished that you didn’t have to go to college. you wished that you didn’t have to deal with the stress that came with it, but you knew that you did no choice if you wanted your dream career.
that dream career was the reason why you were currently positioned at your desk, philosophy textbook open and your hand propping your head up. your boyfriend, seokmin, caused your bed to creak as he shifted his position, his eyes looking at you with concern.
it was Saturday and he desperately wanted to spend time with you, but you hadn’t even looked up from your homework since he first arrived.
he cleared his throat. “I know that your grades are important, but you need to at least take a break. you’ve been studying for two hours.”
you lifted your head to make eye contact with the older boy. the moment you pinpointed the concern in his facial features, you felt guilty that you hadn’t been paying him any attention since he showed up at your dorm two hours ago.
a sigh left your lungs. “sorry, seokmin. I just want to do really well this semester and to do that, i have to make sure that I know the material front and back even if it involves reading the same chapter twelve times.”
the brown-haired boy chuckled softly as he leaned over to plant a kiss on your forehead. “i’m sure that you’ll do fine, love. you’ve done all your homework and read everything at least once.”
you raised your eyebrows at him. “that sentence just came from a guy who is a vocal major and has literally understood every single music related term since age fourteen.”
lee seokmin was definitely someone special to this world. you guys had met through jeonghan who was a childhood friend of yours. seokmin became his roommate freshman year of college and the rest was history. you were bound to cross paths eventually, but never in a million years did you think that you guys would end up together, but you wouldn’t trade him for anything.
the connection was just… there and everything felt right when you two were together. even today when you hardly even spoken to him.
“and you can thank jeonghan for my extensive level of knowledge,” seokmin replied. “that boy never shuts up about music, which I don’t either, but that’s besides the point.” your boyfriend leaned forward once again before kissing your lips softly and pulling back. “my point is that I understand that not everyone is like jeonghan and i. people do have to study. I get that, but what I’m trying to tell you is that you don’t have to exhaust yourself over every subject. that never turns out well.”
you gave him a small smile as he tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. “I know, but I don’t know what else to do to make sure that I do well.”
“love, grades aren’t everything. you can afford to not study constantly.”
“try telling my gpa that.”
seokmin smiled at your words. “okay, you are talking to someone who could honestly care less about the gpa system because it’s a fraud.” he climbed off your bed, stretching his arms over his head with a grunt. “besides, i know your gpa is perfectly fine and yet, here you are sitting here thinking about reinventing the wheel to run yourself over.”
your boyfriend held his hand out toward you. “that’s not healthy and as your boyfriend, it’s my job to ensure that you aren’t going to explode from too much academic stress. that means that I’m taking you on a date right now to go get pizza and then we are going to come back here and see where the night leads, okay?”
you smiled, gently grabbing a hold of his hand and letting him pull you to your feet. “okay.”
seokmin pulled you against his chest in a hug and you breathed out a sigh of relief you didn’t know that you had been holding. his arms just made all the worries in the world disappear.
he kissed the crown of your head. “you can continue studying how ever much you want tomorrow, but tonight, it’s just you and I.”
he pulled back to cup your face with his hands. with a huge smile, he kissed your nose. “i love you. i hope you always know that.”
“and I hope you always know that I love you more than you can ever imagine.”
seokmin wrapped his arm playfully around your shoulders, leading you into the hallway of your dorm building. “trust me, love, i know.”

Will they be able to overcome their fears and take a chance on love?
@peytonmarkey thank you for the request, and help. I enjoyed every second of it!!
summary : daniel comes across the architect of the best summers that he had before leaving his hometown to achieve his biggest dream, little does he know his whole life is gonna change in a day
Daniel’s pov
I was walking around the paddock after almost a bad qualifying, with my water bottle in my hand, walking at the speed of light, trying to ignore anyone who was trying to talk to me. I was devastated, heartbroken, and disappointed, first at myself then at the team. At the beginning of the season, I thought it was going to take time to get used to the car. But at the almost end of the season, everything was totally the same, and my mood was worse than ever. On my way to my trailer to take a shower and grab a bite, I saw her. I don’t know how it made me feel, but I could feel the nostalgia rushing through my veins and my whole body. I didn’t realize my lips were curled into a smile until Nick touched my shoulder to bring me back there.
‘’ I’ll be there in a minute; you can go before me, I said, before looking at him. He smiled, still not understanding why I stopped in the middle of the road, but he didn’t refuse my offer and made his way to grab a coffee with the team members. She was standing there, scrolling through her phone, and probably waiting for someone. It was so hot that day that I can still recall the sun, sweat, salt, and everything else about that day. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail, and her signature bangs were framing her face beautifully; she was in denim shorts, a white tee, and red Converse. I don’t know now how long I stayed there and watched her every motion, trying to remember the last time I saw her; maybe she was 18? She then raised her eyes from the screen to take a look around, and then her eyes met mine, the eyes that had been watching her movements for the last two minutes. I was sweaty as hell, I was dehydrated, and I was hungry, but to watch her standing there like she didn’t give a damn about the sun that was burning her pale skin was enough to make me forget about the bad day in the car. She looked at me like she was trying to understand why I was looking at her, but then her lips curled into a wide smile, showing off her teeth, and she made her way towards me in fast movements, almost excitedly. As she got closer my heartbeat grow faster and
"Look who we got here!" Ricciardo, it’s been years.’’ She said, with her precious, teasing smile.
"You still have that teasing blood in your veins, huh?" I said, trying not to make it too obvious that my heart was pounding.
‘’ You look good.’’ She said. Not even trying to answer my question. Her gaze was watching me carefully, like she was trying to memorize something about my features.
"What are you doing here though?" I said, literally wondering how our paths had crossed in this place after years.
"Oh, I applied to be the manager of Charles last year after finishing my major, and somehow I got lucky, and now I am here. Jason, Mom, and Dad literally manifested me to be here. “It was almost like music to my ears to hear her naive and excited voice and see her gestures while talking.
‘’ Jason! How is he? How is your family doing? Tell them I said hi next time you talk with them.'' I said that while I couldn’t take my eyes off of her, she was literally the definition of pure beauty.
"Oh, he is okay; he is working as an engineer at some company in NY right now, and mom and dad are in Australia, living that retired life you know." She said, smiling and winking at me in her last words.
‘’ I am glad, Zahra, so glad. It was so nice seeing you, you know. You look amazing. I mean, you were then too, but now—I said, then, regretting the words that I came up with, I bit my lip and tried to avoid the heat that was coming up to my ears. Ricciardo, the man of flirts, was unable to bring the right words together.
‘’ Thank you, Daniel; you look good too; you were then too, but now you've grown up; how old are you now, 33? It was nice seeing you too.” She said, waiting almost five seconds between her sentences.
‘’Yes, I am 33; it must be nice to be still in your 20s; enjoy it while it lasts, I said. For the first time that afternoon, I managed to say something that really sounded like Daniel.
‘’Oh, okay, okay, old man, I gotta go; see you around, huh?’’ she said before acting to get back to the Ferrari paddock. I completely forgot that I was hungry, sweaty, and disappointed after that little interaction.
‘’ Zahra.’’ I almost yelled her name, hoping I didn’t sound so desperate. She turned around while she was on her way back.
"It was nice seeing you."
She smiled and waved her hand before starting to walk again.
I was a wreck but in so many ways.
Zahra’s pov
As I made my way back, I had a huge smile on my lips. To finally see Daniel after he left Australia to become a driver was refreshing. Daniel had always been my comfort person. I remembered the days we were sitting on the dock of the bay, eating ice cream, talking for endless hours, swimming, and teasing. Those were all such good memories to remember; to see his charming smile used to be enough for me to blush right away; he was the meaning of the word ‘’ comfort ‘’ . Charles and Carlos were in the middle of shooting a video for Ferrari’s page, and no one seemed to be inside. Since it was a hot, sunny day, I preferred to sit outside with the other paddock members of the Ferrari, taking a deep breath before grabbing myself an espresso shot. It was a nice day indeed. It was a very nice day, according to my heart, which felt like it was being ripped out of my chest.
Daniel's pov
After the shower, during the shower, in the team meeting, while listening to Lando, even when I was about to take a break from my thoughts to go to sleep, the talk we had was the only thing that didn’t leave my mind. The way she smiled, the way her cheeks were flushed red with the heat wave, and the way she talked and looked beautiful even without trying I didn’t know what was happening to me or if I felt this way towards her before, but this was different. A totally different case and the last thing I knew what I was doing at midnight in bed was to write her name on Instagram’s search bar. I thought maybe I could give her a follow, to not lose the touch between us; I knew she wouldn’t understand it wrong rather, I thought she’d be happy that we found each other again after years. As I clicked on the user, I could feel my heartbeat growing faster again. Her birthday photos, Paddock photos, and mirror selfies were smelling like the summers that we used to spend in Australia, the beautiful and matchless summers.
Tumblr media
I was about to leave my phone since I had to wake up early tomorrow for the big race when I clicked the follow button without even considering it for a second. Then I took a deep breath before wrapping myself in sheets.

☕️ reader x fred in a college/university au!
Thank you so much for requesting this!
My 1.3k rom-com night is now closed!
Study (Date)
Tumblr media
If someone told you that you would currently be sitting in the library, right across from Fred Weasley - you would’ve laughed and said that that only happened in your dreams.
Right now, you are surely wide awake and your long time crush is definitely seated right across you.
Earlier that morning, the redhead had approached you and asked if you could help with some homework that he couldn’t get the gist of and you happily agreed. Why wouldn’t you? The excuse to spend time with him was literally presented to you.
“Are you sure it’s okay with you?” Fred asked as the two of you walked to the library, “Because if you have something else to do, then I can ask someone else. 
Shaking your head, you gave him a smile. “It’s fine, I swear. I don’t have anything else to do anyway.” 
“If you say so.” The redhead said as he opened the door for you, the pleasant burst of air conditioning hitting your face. 
“Done.” Fred said in triumph, dotting a period before turning the textbook over to you, “Is that okay?” 
Pulling the textbook closer, you scanned over his answers before pushing it back to him, “Yep, that’s better.” 
“Yes!” Fred grinned triumphantly, closing the book with a snap, “Finally!”
You stifled a laugh, “See? Wasn’t that hard, was it?”
Fred chuckled, running a hand through his hair, “Guess not.” 
In the next two hours, the two of you managed to get a majority of your work done.
“Thanks again.” He smiled, walking out of the library with you, “You’re a lifesaver.” 
Grinning, you felt the heat spread across your face, “It’s my pleasure.”

OMG your mw sketches are so good! especially beebs love shrike jojo pose and i would love to hear your theories : 3
Aaaa thank you!! I love drawing them both a whole lot, but I definitely need to draw more Beebs <3
But yeah as for theories, they'll be under the cut Big shout out to my friend CL for helping me like, break the show down and get ideas going and thinking of a few of these first
(Also heads up, I just finished typing out Shrike's theories and it's long as hell so big read ahead)
Okay so some Shrike thoughts
He's canonically the last of his species, but he doesn't seem too torn up about it like Beebs seems to be about his own past, so is he just really good at hiding that pain or does he genuinely have no regrets?
If he is hiding his pain, the Terran obsession could be his coping mechanism, he hides in El Bandito cartoons so he doesn't have to face the truth that once he's gone, his whole species is
On the flipside, in the show, he seems to sleep just fine, dreams about normal things, never seems to have anything bothering him consciously or subconsciously, so I actually think he's genuinely fine over being the last of his species
I'll get back to that in a minute though, for now I'd like to look at his style: we know he wears a suit he got from being a member of LAW, and his guns match his suit/shoes, so I imagine he got the guns with the suit and was trained by LAW how to use them
He also claims "this is all I know!" when Beebs tells him to stop shooting in ep 3 so it's not hard to imagine he went straight from knowing little about fighting into LAW (unlike Beebs, who I'll get to)
With his LAW history in mind and seeming lack of care about the eradication of his species, it makes me wonder if the two could be connected
There's the Hunted theory, the Superman theory, and the Bad Alien theory, two of which involve the storage crystal in the back of his head
Said crystal appears to be very important; it's limited, but it is hammer space, it could have a ton of practical uses, and would likely be something that bad people wanna get ahold of, plus in ep 2 (which is HEAVY with foreshadowing, even with stuff that happens in the episode itself) they point out Shrike's crystal several times, calling him the Mother Crystal, showing Beebs looking between Punti's crystal and Shrike's, even Dr. Agnes tried to pull it out of his head at one point, so I'm thinking someone's gonna want it
In comes the Hunted theory: Shrike's species is born with these crystals, or they're at least given at birth/a young age (with Shrike saying he's had his since forever in ep 2), but since they're so useful, other aliens started hunting his species down to kill them and take the crystals. Shrike was taken on to LAW bc he was one of the last few of his kind n they wanna keep an eye on them
Literally as I was typing I thought of another theory, the Foreshadowing theory: The way Shrike talks about what happened to him (LAW setting him up with a dumb job after) makes me think it was actually more like a mass extinction, much like how Punti is the last of his kind after a mass extinction, one that LAW showed up afterwards to find and take the last one into custody, though in this theory, I think Shrike's crystal and the multiple comparisons between Shrike and Punti may point to Shrike being the only one of his kind with that crystal in his head
Which is also the case in the Superman Theory, where his family knew they were all gonna die, so they put Shrike in a pod (either being born with or given the crystal) and sent him off to protect him as they all die (which yeah isn't original but come on, baby Shrike)
Finally there's my favorite theory (NOT the one I believe in the most, just the one I think is the most fun to write for), the Bad Alien theory: why would Shrike be so carefree about his whole species being dead? Well what if they were actually a horrible species, like the Krill in Orville? They're blood-thirsty conquerors responsible for wiping out plenty of other species, and something about Shrike (maybe the crystal?) made him different and decide this wasn't okay, so he finds a way to work for LAW and be their spy on the inside, helping his species get captured and killed as punishment for all the pain and destruction they've caused while Shrike gets a job for helping them out so he can stay on his feet
Also not a theory or anything, I just love the detail that Shrike's chair in the Bucket has a spot on the headrest that's been scratched out by Shrike's gem, idk how they thought of that but that's so smart
Anyway that's enough about Shrike, let's get on to Beebs
Beebs oh man, sweetie, my baby boy, he has got to have a sad fuckin backstory. He's missing 3 of his 4 limbs, he implies he's lost at least one loved one, he's just so iudhfishuis I love him
Anyway, in episode 3 when he's talking to Us, he mentions he's been through losing someone "once or twice", which to me points to the possibility that he lost his partner or his family, but tbh I think he lost his wife (or whatever gender partner you prefer to think of him with) and child
He's very fatherly, taking the lead and being gentle and patient and understanding, plus in ep 2 when the Lythop that went in Shrike's head was crying, Beebs was already bent on a knee and ready to hold the lil guy like a dad comforting his crying kid, and in ep 3 he sits in with Shrike and lets him talk about El Bandito like a kid showing off their favorite cartoon to their dad (plus it makes him a dilf)
There's also another character we've seen in promo art, Champion Ajax, who looks like a Walrinian like Beebs is, and his name being Champion Ajax (among other things I'll get to) gives me the impression that maybe this species is battle-heavy and loves to throw down
They're physically imposing and tall, plus Beebs is shown to be a skilled fighter with both his close range hammer and long range grenades; I wouldn't be surprised if he could use every weapon in his light stick thing tbh
With champions and a proficiency in mixed weapons, what if Beebs' species takes part in gladiator type sports? Fighting each other for the fun and glory with the biggest and strongest of them all being the champion
If this is the case, I do think Beebs might've been a champ at one point, but he finally lost or quit
I don't have fancy names for these theories, n they're more like thoughts anyway but like
It's possible he lost his limbs during his run as Champion and that led him to quit (he didn't seem interested in getting any more parts of him made mechanical, as evidenced by his response to Shrike telling him to get an internal translator)
But the way sadder option is that whatever took his limbs is also what took his family, like some kind of explosion or something, or even worse, something that he did caused it
If you'll notice, sometimes when he opens his mouth wide, you can see two weird, round "teeth" in the corners of his mouth, which come to find out are actually where his tusks should be (side note: BLESS the artist who drew him with his tusks that one time, I love it)
So why doesn't he have his tusks? Were they cut off because he quit being Champion? Maybe he was blamed for the death of his family n cutting off tusks is a sign of shame/exile
Him being exiled may count for why he's in Monkey Wrench right now, like in ep 3 he clearly wasn't sure he was cut out for merc work so I highly doubt this was his idea, he likely needed a job to keep himself afloat, and here came Shrike
On that note, I wonder about Shrike and Beebs' relationship, cause when talking to Us, Beebs said that Shrike is his friend "or something"; have they just not known each other long enough to really call each other friends, or does Shrike just annoy him n that was a joke? How long have they known each other? Maybe they met through LAW at some point?
That's about all I got, but yeee thank you for asking, and apologies if it's a lil too long

Tumblr media
"to be with her "
- little series
-smut in later chapters
- part one
"After that incident, you are telling me that you are not a lesbian? " my best friend laughed at me while trying to sit on my bed again. " Do not start with me again- AND first of all there's the reason why I kicked you out of my bed *pointing out to stand up again * it wasn't my fault, matter of fact, it was his fault. " she tilts her head "of course honey, how on the earth would he guess that he would get kicked for kissing you, after all, you were one offering that damn kiss, right? How illogical of him, tsk " * simply rolling eyes at her comment and she goes again - Honey , the only thing I'm asking you is to come to the club with me , it will be super chill, good music, attractive people, just pure vibe, perhaps you will meet someone new , maybe ...a girl *adds teasing voice at the word girl and annoyingly winks at me * you never know my girl . Whatever it is , be ready , i will pick you up around 7 pm , I'm promising you a great night , now i will go, leave your annoying ass here " * says last words as she gets close to the door * . " okay, i will let you know " * saying to her and already thinking about her request. I mean, one night out won't hurt me , plus i have a new dress to wear and an occasion is perfect for it.
~~~~
" i had feelings i wouldn't enjoy being here and here we are " complaining to my best friend within 20 minutes of our arrival in the club. " don't open your mouth if it's something negative again, get up , dance with someone i don't care , just trust the vibe , okay? Don't make me babysit you " saying and getting up to shortly disappear into the crowd.
Aggressively drinking Sex on the beach , if i can't get laid in real life at least it could be a drink. Soon enough some dude sits next to me and openly stares at me . So fucking annoying but i still remain my gaze to the people stupidly dancing on the dance floor. - hey there pretty girl, why are you all alone " puts his arm around my shoulder * you know, i could get you another drink, yours getting empty " . * I can't believe i have a whole ass breakdown from the stranger's attempt to hit on me . I would gladly punch him and ruin his already ruined face but someone's body suddenly shadows us . Literally the jackpot, a tall woman with white unbuttoned blouse and high-waisted jeans , her sexy aura made both of us focus on her . " Is that your friend, introduce me to her " * audacity this man had , two minutes ago he was totally hitting on me and now he's asking me to introduce someone??? Before i had the chance to speak an unknown sexy woman said - a friend? No honey, I'm her girlfriend * points definitely at ME * do we have any problems here ? *Looking at the guy again, waiting for him to speak * " a girlfriend? Wow , i had no idea *poor guy looks confused* whatever, i shall leave"
"wow , she actually left , I can't believe, most of the time they keep trying their chances to get someone " amusingly looking at her and continue" thanks by the way , he was getting super annoyed". " No worries sweet girl , can i sit next to you? " * Asking but already does what she wants , i guess thought that counts* the whole night continues smoothly. I actually enjoy her company. It's my first time looking at a woman and have an urge to kiss her . Her face is getting closer as she puts her hand on my waist and whispers dangerously close to my neck as if she's about to touch my neck, it's almost too ticklish* " sweetie , it seems like you didn't realise but your eyes had been on my lips past four minutes, sorry to disturb your admiration but i can make your dreams come true and kiss you , you know that right? * I bet 10 dollars she's smirking right now * " doesn't sound like a bad offer after all " saying back to her, there's no way I'm about to make myself more embarrassed . She leans forward again but this time, her lips brushing gently against mine. "There you go dear, now that wasn't so hard, was it? I do believe this is just the beginning of a lovely night, don't you?"
With a soft chuckle, she traces the outline of my jaw with her fingers before leaning in for another kiss . My body is on fire, her hands are everywhere . One thing i can say is that she's a really really good kisser, makes the whole world disappear and only focus on her .
-----
Please let me know if i should continue and sorry for the mistakes, english isn't my first language

CONRGRATS!!!! 300 followers is so cool I’m so happy for you! :D
for the fics, what inspired rise & shine and what possessed you to write Round One and The short(s) Struggle
from this milestone post / rise & shine / round one / the short(s) struggle
I am excited about explaining all of these, they are all so special to me omg elliot thank u for sending them in <3
also loving that you asked what possessed me, bc honestly I have no idea :D but whatever it was, it needs to do it again right now
rise & shine was written purely out of spite and 1000000% towards summer bc she was being a little shit and I was feeling evil.
exhibit A:
Tumblr media
once summer told me she thought george was the meanest, I went with sap with the lee bc I hc both of them with horribly sensitive thighs, so it was always gonna be between snf since the target spot I had in mind....was thighs (gee I wonder why???????)
after that I kind of blacked out and wrote it. It was done pretty quickly, like I've mentioned before I'm way more motivated to finish something when it's targeted at someone else! (: it's just more fun and it doesn't really feel like I'm pressured to finish it or anything bc I want to sooooo bad anyways! and like I did with my other fics targeted at summer (yes there are multiple! :D) I just included things I knew got to her, and bam, good reactions!
exhibit B & C:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so yeah, this is why rise & shine was made! there was no planning in advance, nothing leading up to writing the fic, it was simply bc summer was being a little shit and I was feeling evil enough to write a reaaaaaally mean fic at her <3
I do it purely for the "MUSHIE", which I have sooooo many screenshots saved of <3
- - - - - - - -
okay......round one. okay. look. this was also for lee!george week, and it was born bc I NEEDED to do an intense tk day. it's just my branding, I needed them to destroy poor lil georgie ):
it's a litttttttttle bit self indulgent Im not gonna lie. a lot of what was written was from possibly personal experience, and I really just tried to write a lot of what I thought would be super intense tks for george (I also added in lil digs at someone but I will not be naming who <3)
I wanted to explore things that I hadn't publicly posted yet, like oil and some specific tools. I actually had a lot more plans for this fic, a lot more spots and tools and techniques, but I was running out of time, and left it off so I could revisit it as a sequel (which I absolutely am, I already have some plans written out)
but uh....mostly this one was self indulgent. I can't even lie about it, it was definitely written for me (and a few other people) more than anything 🫠
that's all I'm saying about round one (: <333333
- - - - - - - -
short struggle!!!! my tiny sap in his tiny shorts!!!!! literally was inspired by the tiny shorts he was wearing when he streamed a clothing haul when he was in LA <3 my brain chemistry has never been the same since <3
like….look at him???????
Tumblr media
I have been saying this for half of my fics but like….I really was just mindless when I wrote this? I saw sap thighs and immediately got the idea for dream and george to latch on and never ever EVERRRRRRRR let go <3
sap is so tiny and small and a baby panda, and normally I love when people are sweet to him, but I just needed him to get his shit absolutely ROCKED in this, I have no explanation really, just that my brain went insane and I made dnf do what I wanna do to him :3
this was cals reaction in the middle of me writing the fic btw:
Tumblr media
“why me!?” is one of my favorite lil dialogues I’ve written for sap just bc I can hear it so clearly in his lil raspy voice through his lil raspy giggles with his lil nose scrunch <3
short(s) struggle was purely bc sap couldn’t help but show off his thighs on stream, and i couldn’t help but destroy them <3333333

Please tell us your Clato story. Since when do you like Clato? What makes you like them? Thank you :) ....
oh my goodness okay well uh
I have liked Clato for a long long time. Eleven years. I noticed the insinuation in the book, but it was once I saw the actual film and the performance of the characters I could really identify them stronger in the books, and I grew a love from that. Like I said. I have been a fan a long long time. On fanfic . net there are still 5 or 6 clato fics I wrote between the years 2012-2014, that are under a few different usernames, that no i will not claim, but they're still out there as proof of my life long devotion.
I always have taken to the kind of off the cuff ships that don't really have a lot of canon moments in the books, and even fewer on screen (me and gary ross gonna beef). But I always thought the insinuation was there in the moment Clove died. For crazy, violent Clove to scream for him because she is scared and about to die, she had to know he'd come. For Cato, who is described by Katniss as temperamental and brutal and violent, to actually call back to her, run to her, and hold her as she died, I took something from that.
I thought the way it humanized the careers was phenomenal, and especially those two considering they were Katniss's biggest competition. Clove dies a scared girl being held by a heartbroken, sad boy.
Naturally Clato has always been a fanon thing more than canon. I was on facebook RP-ing as Clove, I've written fanfic a LONG time, I've read probably every single Clato fanfic on both fanfic.net and AO3 both in my time. And it was the fan expansions of the characters that I loved.
That being said I think I have just always identified so strongly with the careers. I wanted to be Katniss, I had a little sister, etc. I've always been the Clove, I've always been the Glimmer. It sounds cocky but it's true in it's own way. I was the smartest, I was the best, I worked the hardest, I was a favorite to win anything I ever did. I wouldn't do something unless I had the best chance at winning. I was the oldest child, with the endless pressure to perform at the top level, to be the best, to make my family, my school, my hometown proud. I wouldn't do something unless I was the best at it, even today I'm called crazy by my classmates regularly because of how much I study, what long days I put in. I still reap the rewards of that. I empathized with these kids who had no choice but to be the best. Who worked really really hard with the intention to make other people happy and proud. I would be lying if I didn't mention this in my explanation as to why I love Clato, because it is definitely part of it. I see myself in these kids, in Clove and Glimmer especially, because I think personality wise I am a direct mix of the two, just depending on which side I turn on at any given moment. I'll use what I call my "pretty girl powers" to get what I want, or otherwise i'm pretty bitchy, cold, calculated, etc. I literally added a line in the most recent chapter of my big Clato fic, in which Clove describes the trafficking and abuse of the victors as the worst thing you could to do someone, violating them like that, which is literally my opinion and belief that I gave to her. So thats definitely part of it, the way I empathize with kids who's worth is placed in the pride they bring home. Pride they are wiling to DIE to bring hime.
Part of what I love is the opportunity with them. To take these kids who are often seen as villains (Which if you see them as villains you miss the author's whole point, that the capitol is the villain, the capitol is the enemy), and flush them out and give them depth. Give them relationships, and favorite colors, and secrets they share between each other. Give them hopes for the future, give them dreams beyond winning. You win by 18, you have to imagine what the future after the games is like, too. I think they have the opportunity to be very normal in what they want after the games. They'd want dogs, and houses, and families of their own. Thats why I love them. They are child soldiers who are still children. They have dreams. They have wants. They have needs. They deserve to have full characterizations and be fleshed out, and thats the opportunity I take with them. You could make brutal bloody Cato an adoring brother, because outside the games he has a really wonderful little family. You could make Clove, with her psychopathic tendencies, a child who lost the mother who loved her, and the drive to prove that her mother and her are not weak girls, and the resultant way she would deeply love and fiercely protect whatever family she has (even found family). They train their whole lives together, who would understand them like each other.
Theres the chance to make them complex, explaining who they are in canon, and expanding on who they are outside of it.
I could wax poetic on Clato for hours, and in fact I do. Thank you for this opportunity though, I am always always down to be a Clato enthusiast on main.
Thank you thank you thank you

Why are all the daxtons thinking daxton is over? Do none of you remember the sequence in 2x08 where Devi got over Ben and look at them now? Did the last bit in 3x09 tell all of you nothing? Now Lang has literally spelt it out for all of you that Devi just got over the idea of Paxton she had in her head, the love triangle isn't over and there is a chance for Devi to fall for the actual Paxton. Which I think she will because the idea of him might have been a dream to her, but he helped her by being a real person in her life and showed up and tried to help her whenever he knew she needed someone. He created a space where she subconsciously was vulnerable with him and spilled massive insecurities, perfect example in 1x08 when Paxton asked her if she was okay. "Right now it feels like everyone in my life is done with me at the moment." She idealized him so much that despite being friends with him, he being the only one to come to her rescue three times now, she's sitting in his jeep and he is the only one to ask her how she's doing and she doesn't even realize that he is in her life and that he isn't done with her. When she realized she was talking to Paxton Hall Yoshida, the guy she put on a pedestal she quickly brushes it away "Forget I said that. That was weird." But now she isn't in love with the idea of him. She doesn't view him on a pedestal anymore. If he complements her now she's gonna know it, she's gonna realize it, she's gonna believe it. She'll be vulnerable with him, consciously. Like you've said it before, they may have different interests but share the same core values, they enjoy each others company, complement each other's personalities, be vulnerable with each other and so many other things. I am not saying daxton is definitely endgame in season 4. I am saying it's not fair to rule out the possibility and say there is no chance. Mindy gave fire for you, heatwaves and multiple romantic-swoon worthy moments to daxton only.. that count's for something right?
Hi thank you so much for this submission. I enjoyed reading this. A lot. The last bit in 3x09, it cuts to Paxton as McEnroe says "...to the future"
