I loved it!!
But what would Bully!Tsukishima would do if his beloved starts dating someone that isn’t him.
I feel like he’d destroy the guy and then go claim her saying shit like “you’re fucking mine understand?”
I love Tsuki and I love Bully!Tsuki
~ Anon ❄️
-( i'm glad you loved it!! <33 i love him so much too! i had a dream about him last night asdfghjk ) (i had to put this under a cut because it is slightly longer than all my other parts)
i think tsukishima would say he had nothing to do with it, even though you both know the truth. i think he'd be like, "i don't know what happened but whatever did happen to him was his own fault"
Tumblr media
it would be very rare for you to actively pursue someone or date someone not knowing the kind of wrath tsukishima would have towards you but recently you've just started a new relationship and it's going so well, you've never had one since starting uni and they're so nice to you. they help you study, insist on paying whenever you both visit the cafe just outside of campus before classes and wait for you outside of your classes to walk you home. they're amazing and whenever you think about them your heart flutters but it was only a matter of time until tsukishima found out.
when class ends he leaves just behind you ready to pull you somewhere quiet but instead he finds you and your partner, he sees them kiss your cheek and take your bag from you to start slinging it over his shoulder, "hey! stop doing that. i can carry it."
"i could never allow that babe. you're far to pretty to carry it," he grins and holds your hand before you both walk off.
tsukishima's jaw clenches. who the hell is holding your hand? who is kisses your cheek? complimenting you? how dare they, how dare you for thinking you could do that.
he's never even seen the guy around before, boring and dull looking, someone punching above their weight and it pisses him off however he doesn't do anything, he just watches you leave, seething. if you looked around for just a second you would realise how angry he is by his expressions that you've gotten so good at identifying since he first started terrorising you.
he doesn't do anything, at least for a few days. whenever you pass each other in corridors he'll still make sneering comments and sit behind you in classes. it still makes you tear up and cry but you hide it all from your partner.
when tsukishima realises they're still there walking you home and making you smile after a few days he knows he has to do something. he's gotten good at cornering people by now with how much he does it to you. tsukishima is tall and can be very intimidating when he wants to and right now he does want to.
he throws them against the wall and grabs hold of their collar, glaring at them. your partner is in complete shock. he knows of tsukishima, everyone does, he's popular and his friends are even more popular, all the girls like his cool demeanour and he's been playing volleyball for years even before he joined uni back when he was still just a teenager but he's never interacted with your partner before and they have no idea why he's so furious at them.
the shocked expression just pisses tsukishima off even more and he holds them tighter, not in any fear that they'll try and leave but because he can and he wants to scare them. he wants to hurt them. it's only fair for laying their hands on you.
your partner tries to sort through their thoughts to say something but tsukki won't allow for that. "you've got some nerve."
"what?" they're completely confused, having not one clue about what he's talking about.
"did you really think you could get away with touching my girl?" he spits.
"what?" they repeat themselves. "your girl? i promise you i haven't been talking to anyone. i have a girlfriend."
"your girlfriend?" he glares. "she was mine before she was yours and she'll always be mine." your partner still looks confused but then whispers your name. tsukki smirks and leans closer, "that's her. touch her again and you'll see what'll happen." he pushes them harder against the wall and then lets go, causing them to fall. he thinks about the consequences but does it anyway as he punches the side of their face, definitely leaving a heavy bruise by tomorrow morning.
that night you get a phone call after not hearing from your partner all day, you didn't have any classes so you've been studying at home, you grin as you pick up.
your partner cares about you a lot, they really do but they had no idea you knew tsukishima and you had told them you never dated in university before. your partner believes you, you'd never lie to them but obviously there is something you haven't told them about tsukishima. they want to stay with you. they want to ask you about it. they really do like you and they don't want to break up with you but then they feel the bruise on their cheek and remember the threat.
your partner stays silent and you wonder if they accidentally called you. you ask if they're okay. they start talking so quietly you have to turn the television off so you can hear them. "hi, babe. i don't really know how to say this but i think we should break up." as soon as the words left their mouth they felt immediate regret.
all the warmth left your body, "what?" you say just as quietly.
he gets a flashback of tsukishima cornering them as they kept repeating 'what'. "...yeah. let's break up." he hangs up the phone and you sit in silence crying all night.
the next day you go to and seek them out in campus, wanting to talk to them face to face. you can't just end a relationship like that, you don't even know why he broke up with you. if you've done something wrong you want to try and apologise, you want to work it out, even if them breaking up with you hurt and over the phone hurt even more, you want to try and make it work.
you see a huge bruise on his face. you gasp loudly. "are you okay? what happened?" you ask worried. all thoughts about your relationship leaving your brain just concerned about them.
"nothing happened i'm fine."
"you're not fine. it looks like you were punched."
they get frustrated, they like you a lot but you're the reason that they're ended up like this. "it's because of you that this happened."
"what?" they turn around, leaving you confused and mostly upset blaming you for something you had no control of and no knowledge of.
you walk aimlessly away, not wanting to be left next to them. you find yourself on a bench and you can't stop the tears from streaming down your face.
tsukishima fortuitously finds you while he was walking back from practise. he sees you looking down at the floor and he can tell why, your partner is now your ex. he smirks and walks up to you, before he announces himself he hides the smirk and crosses his arms. "what's wrong with you princess?"
still looking down you reply, "go away tsukishima."
"don't be like that. i just want to know what happened."
"i got dumped."
without misses a beat tsukishima responds, "it's for the best. you two don't work together. it's wrong that you were with them."
when hearing this you look up with watery eyes, still sniffling, "did you have something to do with this kei?"
you've gotten use to what his slight change of expressions and body language really mean but there wasn't any indication this time even though this might be the biggest reaction he's ever had to you before. you called him kei. he always hated when people called him nicknames growing up, only really letting yamaguchi get away with it but you, you calling him by his given name? he wants to hear you say it everyday, it sounds so beautiful coming out your mouth. what would it sound like if you were moaning his name?
he has no physical reaction at you saying his given name, staying collected, as he lies to you, "i don't know what you mean princess."
"it looked like he was punched. he has a huge bruise on his face."
"nothing to do with me. i'm sure whatever it was he deserved it though."
"i don't believe you." and you don't, the way he knew you were even dating someone in the first place is suspicious and it does seem to you that it is something tsukishima would do, punching someone, breaking up your relationship, and then not admitting to it.
tsukishima tilts up your chin making you keep eye contact with him and then squeezes your chubby cheeks, not hard enough to hurt you though. "that's fine by me princess. just know you're fucking mine."
you start crying again and you're not even sure why, maybe it's because tsukki tilted your head up so carefully or maybe it's because he called you princess. maybe it's because he said you're his. maybe it's because of him that you got dumped. maybe it's because he looks really attractive in that purple shirt he's wearing. you don't know. tsukki kisses your forehead. "i've got to go and meet kuroo but i'll see you soon alright. make sure you go inside soon, it's going to get cold and it might rain," he murmurs gently. he squeezes your chubby cheeks one more time and wipes your eyes before getting up and leaving to go meet kuroo.
you hold your hand on your cheek to where tsukki's hand was and take a deep breath to calm down. you hurry to take cover inside before it rains.

Heeey! idk if your requests are open or not— but if it is, I would like to request a Miguel x fem!reader fic! (Friends to lovers-??)
The reader comes back home after hanging out with her friends. She felt a little down after the hangout as one of her friends said something which did affect her a little, the friend was making flirty remarks about Miguel despite them knowing that the reader likes Miguel— thinking about it over and over again made the reader get even more sadder by the minute. The reader tries to brush it off and distract herself with some chores around the house as she last left it messy, next thing the reader knew was that miguel was tapping on the window asking her to let him in as it was pouring outside-
And maybe you could continue it however you like!
powerless
Tumblr media
pairing: miguel o’hara x fem reader
warnings: before spider society miguel (sawry), making out, reader being a bit petty lol, mentions of blood, mostly just fluff tbh
author’s note: i hope you enjoy <3 and ty for being so patient with me. i chose not to write smut in this one but lmk if you want a pt 2 with it :) (oscar issac’s voice is so yummy in givin up 😩)
word count: 4k
You were in the middle of cleaning up baby vomit before your shift ended, your nose scrunching up the more you smelt the disgusting combination of fish and milk when your phone pinged, alerting you of a new message. It was your friends texting in the group chat about meeting up for coffee later, and you really wanted to say no. Not only had the baby vomited all over its high chair but you had the pleasure of being the first recipient when you came to bring the family napkins, so you really just wanted to get home and take a bath to relax. After a couple of minutes of deliberation, you decided to text them that you'd be there in around an hour since you were afraid they'd stop inviting you to things with how often you ended up flaking.
Your feet dragged across the pavement as the stench of fish penetrated into your hair, the small chunks still hanging to the strands for dear life. You'd tried to wipe them off but your boss ordered you to get back to work, that you could take care of your personal hygiene at home. You felt angry at how dismissive your boss had been and at how shitty other customers had been today but you felt powerless, knowing that you couldn't really do anything about it. To make matters worse, it started to drizzle just when you were about to get home, your work uniform ending up wet once you stepped inside your apartment.
You gave yourself a little pep talk about how much you needed this night out as you washed the fish chunks out of your hair, almost gagging as they went down the drain. You quickly took a shower before the rain started to pick up even more, rinsing off the grime and sweat from the day. You got out of the shower a couple minutes later, haphazardly throwing clothes around while you tried to find something to wear. You wanted to cheer yourself up, to forget about the fish chunks in your hair and look like you had some aspects of your life put together.
You settled on a black skirt and a white tee with some Converse, not wanting to do too much for the coffee meetup but not wanting to appear like you just rolled out of bed. You assured your friends that you'd get there soon when you heard your phone ping once more, asking you how much longer it would take for you to get there. You glanced over at the clothes thrown on your floor and decided on fixing them when you got back home. You grabbed your umbrella and walked over to the subway station, feeling a sense of relief at finally being able to see your friends again. You could only hope that your friend, Jenn, didn't take her little sister, Krystal though.
"You didn't bring Miguel?" Krystal asked once you showed up at the cafe, skipping over the pleasantries that your friends had given you. Krystal was a part of the group solely because Jenn had pleaded with you guys to let her hang out, that she didn't have any friends in the city. She was nicknamed as "the shark" by you and the other two friends in the group given the fact that she always found a way to 'coincidentally' have a crush on the same guys that you all did, and found ways to embarrass you guys in order to boost herself up. "I don't see why I'd bring Miguel if it's just us, though," you responded, trying to keep your tone light so you wouldn't ruin the afternoon. "But he's so fun to be around!" She gushed as you all walked to the table, her pupils practically turning into little hearts as she talked about him. "He doesn't even like you though," you mumbled loud enough for her to hear, but she decided to ignore your sly comment.
It was true, though. Whenever Miguel had the time, he would join you to hang out with your friends if he thought he was invited, but it was mostly just to hang out with you. He didn't interact much with your friends apart from asking basic questions such as how their day was going or stuff about their job. However, he expressed his dislike towards Krystal, that he thought she changed her personality to cater to men which he didn't find endearing. Even though you found her infatuation with Miguel to be a little weird, you never shared what he said since she could think that you're lying and get the group to turn against you.
The coffee date with your friends was going by smoothly, going from sharing work stories to sharing about your love lives. You had gone to the restroom to freshen up, coming back to Krystal talking about Miguel once more. You looked around, deciding to hide behind a pillar just to hear what she had to say freely. "I still don't get why you keep inviting just her to hang out, it'd be much better if Miguel was here," Krystal critiqued, taking an obnoxious sip of her coffee. "Probably because she's our friend?" One of your other friends replied, her tone a bit agitated. "But I mean, c'mon. I would be a much better fit for Miguel and it's not like she's gonna do anything about her crush."
The group went silent as you came back to the table, picking up your coffee cup. "So what'd I miss?" You asked, giving them a small smile as they started to spin some tale about how they were discussing where to meet up next. You knew that your friends wouldn't pick sides and it'd be wrong to ask them to do that, but the realization that they were okay with having Krystal speak that way about you just made your heart ache. The rest of the afternoon went by okay, the conversation wasn't flowing as easily as it used to but there wasn't a dull moment between you all.
Most of your friends left a couple minutes later, leaving you and your close friend, Jasmine, waiting for your respective taxis. You weren't sure how she knew that you were upset but she hugged you tightly, embracing you in a way that provided comfort and warmth. "Hey, don't worry about Krystal said. You know she's only going after Miguel because she knows you have a crush on him," she assured you, resting her hand on your shoulder. You nodded, mostly because you didn't want to be the cause for drama in the group and hugged her once her taxi arrived.
You headed back home feeling more defeated than when the afternoon began, though it was nice to have spent some time with your friends. The feeling of powerlessness kept looming over you like a dark cloud, reminders of how powerless you were at work and how powerless you were in your personal life. You let out an agitated sigh when you looked at the clothes scattered all throughout the floor, remembering how excited you'd been to go out with your friends. You decided not to prolong the task and started picking up the scattered skirts, taking small comfort in the sounds of the pouring rain outside.
You finished up with the task about half an hour later and you decided to mope around your apartment, watching Friday the 13th while eating ice cream. You couldn't help but feel Krystal’s words reiterating in your brain, that you were only so upset because you knew that she had a point. While you were hopelessly crushing on Miguel, you also didn't give him any signs since you didn't want to end your friendship with him. He'd been a great friend to you, he listened to your rants without saying anything unless you asked for his opinion and he was oddly sweet to you, a difference of how cold he was to everyone else around him.
You were in the middle of watching Jason stalk up on a victim when you heard tapping on your window, your heartbeat starting to race as you let out a scream. You turned to see Miguel laughing as he took off his Spider-Man mask off, waiting for you to open the window. You tried to swallow your sadness away as you stood up, opening up the window to let him in. "Hey there, Spider-Man. How'd patrol go?" You asked him once he stepped inside, giving him a small smile as you took in his appearance. He had a few scratches and a couple bruises, his suit was clinging to his wet body, but he seemed like he was excited to come here. "Can I ask why you screamed? But patrol was good, just a couple thugs to deal with," he asked, the corners of his lips tipping up in amusement. "I thought you were Jason Voorhees."
Miguel had come to your place after a fight with the Green Goblin of your universe one day, bloodied and injured, and had basically confirmed what you already suspected. After he saw how well you reacted to the information, he kept coming over after some of his missions and asking you to play nurse. He'd never admit it to you, but sometimes he looked forward just to getting hurt in order to have an excuse to see you. He started leaving some of his stuff over at your place, like a couple gadgets or a few spare clothes just so he could find more excuses to spend time with you.
"So tell me why there's a sex scene in a Friday the 13th movie? I mean who has Jason Voorhees chasing after them and decides, 'oh let's fuck', y'know?" He asked while you were cleaning up his cuts after he got out of the shower. You couldn't help but keep thinking about what Krystal had said, wondering if all Miguel would see you as is his nurse and his good friend. You were brought back to reality when Miguel snapped his fingers together to get your attention, your eyes shifting from the wound to the tv on the screen. "Well, one final bang and all that. Wonder how they disconnect the corpses," you mused with a small shrug, hoping that he wouldn't notice how detached you were from the situation.
He let out a small hiss as you wiped a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol across his cheeks, his brown eyes boring into yours. "What's wrong?" He asked, looking at you intently. You assured him that nothing was wrong and went back to cleaning his cuts, making stupid remarks about the movie but you could tell that he didn't want to leave the subject alone.
Once you were finished cleaning up his wounds, you made quick work to get off from the couch and excuse yourself to throw away the cotton ball. "Hey, how do you feel about going to the park and having an elote with me?" he asked, resting his hand on your knee when you sat down. (corn) You stared at him, dumbfounded as you felt the heat from his hand radiate all throughout your body. "Is the elotero there? I mean, it was raining pretty hard until a couple minutes ago," you answered after a couple seconds, trying to sound like your body wasn't tingling just from feeling his hand on your knee. "He'll be there. It's like 6, which means prime selling time."
"Don't you get chorro with all that?" You asked him, watching as he took a bite out of the elote drizzled with hot sauce and little pieces of cheese. (diarrhea) He burst out laughing, the sound a bit rough but it sounded like the tune of your favorite song. You loved hearing him laugh given that it was so rare for him to do that, he usually only gave a weak chuckle or an amused huff. "Are you jealous that you can't handle spice, chiquita?" he asked, looking over at you with a trail of hot sauce dripping down his chin. Your hands made quick action before you had a chance to think otherwise, wiping the sauce away with your finger. You quickly retracted your finger when you saw a tinge of red coating his tan cheeks, not wanting to make him uncomfortable or embarrassed.
You could tell that Miguel wanted to ask you again what was wrong, that he used the elote to make you feel better, but you didn't want to tell him out of of fear he might end up swinging away. "So how's it going with your AI assistant? LYLA, no?" You asked him, taking a bite out of your own elote. You knew that it was something that Miguel could spend hours and hours talking about given how much time and effort he spent on it. While you typically enjoyed the way his eyes lit up with any opportunity he got to share about what innovations or new software he'd developed for LYLA, you were using it to distract him away from the subject at hand. At least for a little while longer. "She's doing good, I managed to develop this software that makes her appear like a hologram. All in all, she should be done pretty soon," he responded, his look telling you that he knew what you were up to.
The two of you headed back to your place when it started to drizzle again, most people starting to run down the street to avoid getting wet. The walk back home was mostly quiet but you noticed that he walked close to you whenever someone rushed by, not wanting you to get trampled over. Once you two got back home, you lended him a towel to dry off his hair and you couldn't help but stare at his biceps as he did. You made quick work to change out of your moist clothes and put on one of the shirts Miguel had left behind before heading back over to the couch.
You'd made some popcorn and put some ice cream on the coffee table to fuel the movie night between you two. As you started the movie, you couldn't help but feel Miguel's gaze almost burning a hole into you. "What's up?" You asked, looking over at him after a bit of silence. "Tell me what's wrong, chaparra. You've been deflecting from the subject every time I ask and I just want to know what made you upset," he said, stroking your back lazily as the movie started. (shorty) You were in a turmoil now, unsure if you should tell him what made you so upset since you knew that in turn, you'd basically be admitting your feelings for him.
"I went out with my friends today and Krystal just said some stuff that upset me is all. Didn't help that I got thrown up on earlier in the day," you responded, trying to keep your response as broad as possible. He ceased his movements, looking at you sternly as his brows furrowed. "What'd Krystal say?" he asked, keeping his tone soft despite the look on his face. You fiddled with your hands, thinking about the best way to approach this before deciding to go out right and admit what you felt towards him.
"Well it kinda started off with her not even bothering to say hi to me when I arrived to hang out with the group, she just went ahead and asked me where you were and why I didn't bring you," you started off, watching him as he took in what you were saying. "Then she went ahead and started talking about how she had a crush on you, the usual as I'm sure you know. She then said that she'd be a better pick for you than me," you said, putting your head in your hands to avoid meeting his gaze. He placed his hand on your chin, tilting your face to look up at him as his gaze softened a bit. "Why would she say that she's better for me than you, though?"
That question impacted you more than you would've thought, given that it would be the thing that could possibly end your friendship with Miguel. "Because I have a crush on you. And I wasn't planning on doing anything about it or acting on it since i didn't want to ruin our friendship," you finally admitted, the words hanging in the air like dead weight. You took a moment to look at him, seeing no change in his expression as he took a deep breath. "Well that's where she's wrong, chiquita. She's not you and she'll never compare to you. Hell, I don't even like her," he responds, catching you off guard about how lenient he was being with this. "You're not mad that I like you? Romantically, I mean."
Miguel began tracing small circles on your back, letting out a breath as he looked at you. He looked troubled, like he wanted to admit something to you but was having issues piecing the words together. He cleared his throat, bringing his hand back on his lap before speaking once more. "I could never be mad at you for having feelings, you know that. I guess I have something to admit to you too. All the women that you've seen me talk to or take out on dates have just been a pathetic excuse to forget about the fact that I thought you only saw me as a friend. I ended up ghosting them because none of them could ever size up to you, none of them could make me laugh or smile, hell, none of them made me excited to wake up the same way that you do," he responds, the pitter-patter of your heart ringing in your ears as he speaks.
You never could've imagined that he felt the same way that you did, given how unlucky he was with women and the troubles that he brought from his past. "So.. What does that all mean?" You asked softly, trying to get the confirmation that you desperately needed. "Ay chaparrita, you're not making this easy for me, huh? I guess what i'm trying to say is that I like you romantically too. I have for a long time, but I've settled into the role of being your friend because I figured having you in my life as that would be better than not having you at all," he admits, sitting closer to you. He hangs his arm lazily off your shoulder, holding you close while the sounds of rain and the movie playing fill up the atmosphere.
After half an hour of watching the movie in silence, Miguel turns to face you with a cheeky grin on his face. "So while I can't do anything about the baby vomiting on you, how do you feel about getting back at Krystal?" He starts off, pausing the movie to capture your full attention. You turn around to face him, a bit surprised that he'd come up with an idea to get back at Krystal just because she'd made you upset. "What does this genius idea of yours entail?" You asked cautiously, not trying to give him the impression that you would be agreeing with it right away. "It's kinda stupid now that I do think about it, but what if we sent a picture of us kissing and shit? I feel like that would get her to shut up," he suggests, his hand tracing small circles on your knee.
You wanted to tell him no, that it was a stupid idea and that she'd end up telling all your friends but all your rationale went out the window when you thought about how she made you feel. How powerless you'd felt on the walk home and just how shitty you felt to be around her most of the time. "Alright, let's do it," you agreed after a couple seconds of deliberation, handing your phone to Miguel. He clicked on the camera, turning it on selfie mode before turning to face you. He brought one hand up to your cheek, cupping your face before leaning in to kiss you.
Your eyes fluttered shut as your lips connected, starting the kiss off slow. You didn't notice when Miguel took the picture, you were too focused on how good his lips felt against yours but you heard the click of the camera. He set your phone down on the coffee table, deepening the kiss after he did. The way his mouth moved against yours, his tongue exploring every crevice that he could felt like pure sin. It shouldn't be possible for someone to taste this good, but he managed to surpass every aspect of logic. You brought your hand up to his hair, intertwining your fingers in the soft curls at the nape of his neck while pulling him closer.
You don't know but you eventually moved to his lap, your legs on either side as the kiss continued. He placed his hands on your hips and you couldn't help but feel his erection through the soft material of your panties. You let out a soft groan into the kiss as you moved your hips against it, the tightening in his pants increasing. "Don't start things you can't finish, chiquita," he whispered after you two pulled away for some air, his pupils overtaken by the lust between you two. He went back to kissing you like you were the most potent drug and he couldn't get enough, his tongue battling against yours for some aspect of dominance. He let out a soft grunt as your fingers pulled at his hair gently, urging him to give you more of what he could.
The two of you decided to call it a night after that, both of you claiming that you had an early morning the next day. As you were cleaning up the empty popcorn bowl and the spoons which you ate the ice cream from, you heard your phone buzzing over and over again. You dried your hands once you finished, clicking on the notifications to see what happened in the group chat. Krystal had sent the picture of you and Miguel in there, expressing how sad she was that you would stoop down and be this petty towards her. You couldn't help but feel more and more guilty as you kept scrolling down the thread of messages, seeing your friends agreeing with her and even going so far as to console her for what you'd done.
You didn't feel like acknowledging the accusations that your friends were throwing around in the group chat, so you simply turned your phone off and went to bed where you found Miguel waiting. "Is everything okay?" He asked softly, watching the look on your face intently. "Yeah. Krystal just got really upset and sent the picture to the group chat so now the group's siding with her on the issue," you respond, laying down next to him. "I'm sorry if I messed things up with my idea. I didn't mean to make you more upset than you already were," he whispered, holding you close to him once you turned off the bedside lamp. "No, no. It was a good idea, I was tired of feeling so powerless in my life and being petty for once made me feel better. Thanks for that Miguel," you assured him, leaning in to kiss his cheek.
Though you weren't too sure of what you were now with Miguel, stuck in that limbo of being friends and something more, you didn't find it in you to question him at the moment. You liked having him hold you this way, liked having his plush lips on yours and the way he kissed you, that you were willing to push aside that fact for now. You pulled a blanket over the two of you and laid closer to him, his hand splayed across your stomach as he held you close. "Me gustas mucho, chiquita," he whispered before you went to sleep and you couldn't help but smile like a fool at how sweet the words sounded. (i like you a lot)

Something wrong
Summary: It was his job to notice things when it came to you, he just wished you’d be a little bit more cooperative than just hide everything behind short responses or ‘I’m fine’ smiles. Chuuya was going to find out anyway so why delay? OR Chuuya didn’t like your friends and you’ve just given him another reason to like them even less.
Pairing: Fem! Reader x Chuuya Nakahara 
Inspired by request by anon: After hanging out with some friends she’s unusually quiet and not even special interest subjects seem to get her talking. 
Warnings: Cursing and fluff- a little too sweet for my liking, shameless friends, protective and a little angry Chuuya, Sweetness? 
Hope you enjoy~ ______________________________________________________________
Chuuya knew something was wrong the moment he pulled up by the cafe.
Normally he would have to park his bike, go inside, deal with your gawking friends who shamelessly checked him out and asked invasive questions and then politely yet firmly pull you away from them. If he failed in that task then he’d sit with a cup of irish coffee and a shot of espresso and pretend to be interested in the latest gossip of who slept or slapped who. Such minor things that would normally be way below him as an executive within the Port Mafia. Yet he’d do it, for you, and only for you. 
So when he found you standing outside the cafe, leg propped up against the wall, staring blankly in front of you, he knew he was going to have to bribe, torture or kill someone. Preferably with his own hands. Calming his bloodlust ever so slightly Chuuya began with the proper first step when dealing with an unknown enemy; the assessment of said enemy or in his case assessing the damage said enemy had done to what was his. 
“ Had a good day sweetheart?” Chuuya asked as he finally approached you after parking his bike a distance away. He was hiding his concern behind a tense smile and the shade of his top hat. 
“ Lets just go” you mumbled, neither confirming nor denying his question. In response Chuuya stretched out his arm for you to take. You pried yourself away from the wall, came over and rested your hand on top of it. Your shoulders seemed to relax ever so slightly as the familiar scent of him- coffee, cigarettes and leather filled your senses. But not for long; you tensed again as you heard the little ring of the cafe door. Then froze as the clacking of high heels and familiar giggles sounded behind you. It seemed awfully convenient that your friends would decide to leave the cafe at the very moment Chuuya came to get you. A fact that definitely didn’t slip Chuuya’s observation skills. His attention was entirely on you however; how you seemed to shy away from your friends instead of greeting or smiling at them. The way you suddenly found the ground very interesting. 
“ Awww Nakahara-san how adorable it is that you’re picking up Y/N” one of the girls said and they giggled between each other as if sharing some inside joke. He felt you tense and noticed your reddening ears.
Chuuya could practically taste your sadness. Fucking Bitches. 
Still he had to act polite before he burned the wrong bridges. It wasn’t like he cared what they thought of him but he needed to be careful of what they thought, did or said to and about you. 
“ We’re in a bit of a hurry, excuse us” Chuuya reached up his hand and ever so slightly tipped his hat in their direction before turning his back to them. Then he began walking. As he heard them squeal and noticed you drag your feet, he dropped his right arm and wrapped it around your waist; bringing you closer to himself. His left hand found yours and held it gently. “ Cold m’precious?” he mumbled. 
You shook your head slightly. 
Then it was your anxiety and humiliation which made your body shiver against him. He tsk’ed under his breath and led you through the crowd, skillfully avoiding the masses and then down a much more secluded alleyway. A rarely-used shortcut towards the mall. 
Silence dragged on between you two but for the sound of your shoes click-clacking against the cobblestones. Or the swoosh of his coat as you’d round a corner and then continue walking in the same awfully slow pace and deathly silence. 
“ So wanna tell me about that new book you were reading this morning?” Chuuya’s eyes flickered down to you, for once hoping to hear anything and everything about the book that had you so engrossed;  Spicy, corny or bad, he wanted to hear your sweet voice describe the best moments and clarify internal jokes. To see the blank look in your eyes disappear in favour of a passionate glint and bright smile. A happy expression- exactly what his girl was supposed to wear. 
“ Mm not really” you replied with a heavy sigh, your gaze focused entirely on the cobblestones and where you set your feet. You acted as if you didn’t know that he’d shift gravity to make sure you didn’t stumble, let alone fall. And even if you did then he’d be there to catch you in a heartbeat. 
Something was definitely off. Bad book? Character death? He somewhat understood. Thus he tried a safer topic; “ What about that author you like sweets? D– Delaney something?” 
“ Joseph Delaney is dead.” you answered bluntly, shutting down any follow up questions or discussions about his works or what you loved so much about him. 
Now Chuuya was certain that whatever happened in that cafe was personal. 
“Doll, how about we jump into the bookstore on our way back? It’s been a long time since you’ve read me anything before bed” he smiled a little to himself secretly missing those precious bedtime moments with you. It wasn’t like he, a port mafia executive, needed them but–
“ Don’t pretend to care!” you suddenly snapped, making Chuuya’s eyes widen and his head snapped down to look at you, not sure if he heard you right. 
“ Sweetheart–” 
You just huffed and dropped his hand, crossing your arms over your chest, effectively silencing him. “ Please don’t act like stupid things like these are exciting for you! I get it, okay you don’t need to pretend anymore, or whatever” you continued walking, this time without his arms around you. You didn’t check whether he followed, didn’t even look at him, clearly fighting back tears of humiliation. 
Silence lasted all of two seconds, followed by a dark; “ Okay which of those bitches said something to you?” Chuuya growled. His words made your eyes widen and you spun around to see your normally sweet boyfriend look ready to murder. The blue of his eyes was replaced by a burning red. He was adjusting his leather gloves with his mouth while his second hand checked his pockets, counting the number of bullets he carried on him. Those were usually a cleaner kill and delivered a much louder warning than smashing someone against the pavement. 
You gaped as you realized he was serious and rushed back towards him. Then you gripped onto his arm with both of your own, barely halting his bullet-counting. “ Chuuya you can’t just go killing people!” you gasped, gripping onto his arm tighter “ Please?”
The ‘please’ worked better than any amount of strengths you could have used. Still it did not calm the clear bloodlust radiating off of him. “ Why not?” he huffed, almost pouting “ No one’s gonna trash m’girl and live” 
You pulled his arm towards yourself and gripped his hand in between your own. “ Because they’re my ..friends, I really don’t want them dead. And also I don’t want this day to be ruined because of something small– especially us time” You flapped your eyelashes at him, a pleading look on your face. 
Chuuya lasted all of five seconds against that look.  “ mm’kay” he finally grumbled and buried his head in your shoulder. “ But you, sweetheart, need better friends” ,
You breathed a sigh of relief then felt your mischievous side take over for a brief second;“ Friends like Dazai?” you teased him ever so slightly. 
Hearing your words, Chuuya let out a loud groan and pulled his head back from your shoulder, giving you the most unimpressed look he could manage. He was barely holding back the tirade about why Dazai was not his friend. Before he could start on it however, his attention was caught by the way you dragged your bottom lip between your pearly whites in slight nervousness. 
This action gave him ideas. And the fact that you two were alone in a secluded alley did little to help soothe his imagination. Chuuya’s lips pulled up into a boyish grin as his hands found your waist and brought you closer; “ Just shut the hell up and kiss me, pretty girl.”
He watched you eagerly as you took your time before your lips finally met his in a tender kiss.  Chuuya was certain he’d pull out the truth and what exactly they said to you sooner rather than later. And then it would be up to him to decide how they’d pay for their foolish foolish actions …

“Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” Karina snickers, leaving the kitchen so she doesn’t have to be in the same area as you. 
Mad isn’t even a strong enough word to describe how you feel right now. You can feel your blood boiling, and every little sound causes you to get more and more frustrated. The reason? You missed all 7 of your alarms because you forgot to charge your phone the night before. 
If there was anything you hated more than the male species, it had to be waking up at 11 am. 
That means you have only 30 minutes until your first lecture of the day, which by the way isn’t nearly enough time to pick out an outfit, do your skin care, your makeup routine, and your hair, and still get to class on time. 
Waking up at 11 on any day, including the weekend, basically meant that your day was already ruined. You’ve already wasted half the day, so it’s best to protect your peace and just stay home. And that’s what you decide to do after attempting to do your hair but quitting after its lack of cooperation.
“I wanna die.” You slur into a pillow after successfully spending 30 minutes getting angry at any and everything. 
“Why die when the sky is clear and blue.” Winter chimes happily, a little too happy for your liking. 
“Maybe you just need some fresh air and a coffee.” Ningning suggests from the bathroom. “I heard there’s a new cafe down the street, you should go.” She adds 
“I don’t wanna go outside. I wanna lay here and die.” You say it as a joke, but some part of you is serious. 
Either way, You still end up at the cafe. Even though Siri kept giving you the wrong directions. What should have been a 7-minute walk turned into 2, 15-minute laps. It’s safe to say that by the time you arrived, you had completely lost your appetite for coffee.
But you’re persistent in making the best out of this unlucky Monday. Walking into the cafe with a facial expression that tells everyone around you that it was only 12:01 and you were already having a bad day. 
“Hi, could I get an Iced Americano?” You say blandly, forcing a small smile to cover the bad mood you are in 
“What size?” The barista asks
“Large.” You needed it. 
“Will that be all?” He asks. 
 You nod “Yes,” while patting your pockets for your wallet. Here's the catch, you left it at home. Before you resort to your last plan; screaming, crying, and sobbing on your knees, you decide to check your purse. Except, you don’t have that either.
“Your total is gonna be 5.05” The barista looks at you distantly as if he couldn’t see the internal war that you were battling right now before his very eyes. “I-” “I got it.” You watch someone stick their arm past you to put their card in the card reader. Thus paying for your much-needed drink. 
“You didn’t have to.” You say shyly, without even looking in the stranger's direction. 
“Don’t worry about it.” 
“I’ll pay you back.” You finally turn to look at him. “Just uh…” You rush to pull out your phone and unlock it. “Give me your number, and I’ll wire it to you as soon as I get home.” 
There were lots of things you hated, men being on the top of the list and being indebted to people is fourth down from it, with “Especially to men” written beside it in parenthesis. So anytime a man did anything nice to you, you wanted to make sure you paid them back immediately just so they don’t try to hold it over your head later. 
“It’s only five dollars.” the stranger says 
“Just let me pay you back, Please.” You beg, still holding your phone out for him to put his information in.
“Well if you really wanna pay me, you could just allow me to take you out on a date.” His response leaves you dumbfounded. A frown grows on your face when he smiles at you. 
If someone were to ask why you were adamant about burning all the men alive, this was the exact reason why. “You’re kidding… right?” You laugh, because surely this has to be a joke. When you walked out of your apartment this morning you were hoping to just have a cup of coffee and maybe some exercise. The last thing you were thinking was to have some guy hitting on you after he practically forced you to let him pay for your coffee. (you didn’t ask him to do that, so basically he did it by force.) 
“Y/n.” The barista calls out your name, luckily to pull you away from the weirdo that is subliminally asking to get in your pants. During broad daylight, in front of a crowd of people.
“Thank you.” You muster up a smile for the barista and head towards the door. Leaving the stranger behind. Owing him doesn’t even matter anymore. It’s not like you’re ever gonna see him again. 
You let out a deep sigh when you hear him yell “You’re welcome.” once you leave the cafe and the door closes behind you.     
“Today has to be the worst day ever.” You complain the second you step into your apartment. Catching the attention of your four other roommates. 
The apartment was small and probably shitty to most but it didn’t matter to any of you because you were all together and the rent was too high nowadays. So if it took all of you piling over each other just so you wouldn’t be homeless, so be it. 
However, being in a small 3-bedroom apartment with 4 other girls meant no secrets. Not because the five of you were nosy, it’s just that the walls were thin and there was absolutely nowhere to go to get any privacy. Best believe there were things about the girls that you wish you didn’t know. 
“Couldn’t have been that bad,” Karina says nonchalantly, walking past you towards the living room to plop down on the couch and catch up on the series she’s been binging for a week now. 
“Well, first I woke up late..” You’re tailing after Karina but get stopped when Ningning walks in your direction, only to take the coffee out of your hand and begin taking sips out of it. “This is good.” She nods without acknowledging the story you’re trying to tell everyone. Skipping to the couch with your drink still in her hand. 
“There’s probably someone in the world dying right now, while you’re crying about sleeping in for a few hours.” Giselle scolds but she doesn’t even take the time to look at you. She just takes a seat next to Ningning and helps the two girls finish what’s left of your coffee. 
“No, but listen, I went to go to the cafe as you guys suggested. But the directions were being stupid.” 
“Was it the directions or was it you?” Karina asks, shaking around the ice in the coffee. 
“It might have been me but that’s not the point.” You dismiss, “After like 30 minutes I finally find the cafe and I go to place my order.” 
“But let me guess- You forgot your card.” Giselle interrupts you.
“Well, yeah. And then-"Wait, if you forgot your card, how’d you get this coffee.” Ningning asks instead of letting you finish what you’re so desperately trying to get out. 
“The barista obviously thought she was cute and gave it to her for free,” Giselle answers for you. 
“No. I-” 
“For free? I don’t think so. Y/n’s pretty but she’s not ‘I think you’re so pretty that I’m gonna risk my job and be homeless’ pretty. Some guy probably just found interest in her and paid for her coffee, so she insisted on paying him back because she never knows how to accept when someone’s being nice but he refused cash and asked her to just let him take her on the date instead.” Karina somehow predicts everything perfectly, which is kinda scary. 
“Yeah, actually” You confirm, but you’re still at a loss for words. 
“So what did you say?” Ningning turns to you. 
“No, of course. This is y/n we’re talking about.” Karina sits up to give you the last bit of coffee but winter reaches it before you do. Swiping it right from under you and taking the last swallow. 
“Well, at least you got free coffee.” Giselle points out. 
“And I'll tell you what I got,” Winter demands everyone's attention. Throwing her arm around your shoulder and turning to you when she says “We’re gonna get you laid tonight.” 
“What are you talking about?” Giselle asks before you get the chance. 
“Jaemin just invited us to a party and guess who’s gonna be there,” Winter asks, pointing to Ningning who pipes up, slapping her hands together.
 “I’m guessing, Jaemin.” You say nonchalantly. 
“Sohee.” Ningning chimes. By now she’s jumping up and down. 
Sohee is the guy she’s been trying to set you up with for weeks. You never met him and you don’t really wanna meet him. She tells you that she has a feeling that you’ll like him but you don’t think that’s the case because well, he’s a man. 
“I’m not going.” You state pushing Winter's arm off of you so you can go to your bedroom. Pretending not to hear all of them yell “Boring.” before you close the door. 
Tumblr media
Another con with living with four other girls is that everyone is always ganging up against you. There wasn’t much ground for you to hold when it was always 4:1. With that being said, it was no surprise that you still ended up at Jaemin’s party even after making 101 excuses as to why you couldn’t go. 
You were a few hours late of course. If the girls were gonna drag you out you had to make sure that you wasted as much time as possible. 
“Here, drink this.” Giselle pushes some drink in your face. 
“What is it?” 
“Doesn’t matter, drink it.” She continues pushing the cup towards you until you take it and down the whole thing. Not caring what it is because you’re sure that she wouldn’t give you anything too dangerous right?
wrong.
“That’s horrible.” You yell over the music, wiping the excess liquid from your lips with the back of your hand. 
“Isn’t it? I thought I was the only one.” Giselle laughs while taking the cup from your hand. You didn’t bother to argue with her, since it was something that she had a habit of doing. Instead, you just sit there around the couch watching everyone else have fun and decide that you’d rather be home. Or probably anywhere else. 
Some people might say that you’re a prick or a party pooper, that you were stuck up and unfun but you’d say, they were absolutely right. What are you even supposed to do at these kinds of things? All you saw were really bad dance moves, a mess, and a hangover in the morning. What could be so fun about that? 
“Woah.” You hear someone say from behind you. You don’t roll your eyes yet but you want to, because you’re almost sure you know who it is before you even see them. “I didn’t think this would be the place that I run into you again.” The boy says when you finally turn around to meet him. 
The universe must absolutely hate you, you think. Because there is just no way that you run into the same man again within the same day. “Why not?” You say arms crossed with a frown bigger than the one you had this morning when you ran into him the first time. 
“Well…” He looks you up and down.
“What are you trying to say?” 
“This just doesn’t look like something that you’d be into, that’s all.” He smiles and leans against the wall beside you. “But I’m glad you’re here.” 
This time you roll your eyes and walk away. You don’t have enough time nor do you care enough to try and change his mind about you. Thankfully he doesn’t try and chase after you but he does yell “I hope you enjoyed the coffee.” to which you hold your middle finger up behind you so he can see it. 
“Y/n where are you going?” Ningning runs to you, tugging at your arm when you reach Jaemin’s front door. 
“Home.” 
“Wait! You have to meet Sohee first.” 
“I’ll be fine.” You say trying to get out the door."
“Just 30 more minutes please.” She begs, getting down on her knees but not letting go of your hand. 
You could argue with her, but one thing about Ningning is that she’s never lost an argument. So you take the easy way out and distract her instead. 
“Oh my god, is that Sungchan?” You spur randomly 
“You can’t fool me Y/N.” She looks at you unamused, but pipes up from the floor the second she hears a stranger from behind yell “Is that Sungchan.” 
You blink once and she’s gone, mixed in with the other crowds of people. And you take your opportunity to run away, grabbing the first taxi you see and heading back to your apartment. 
Tumblr media
The steam from your shower follows you from the bathroom into your bedroom when you sit on your bed. Drying your hair with a towel, you take a deep breath. This is great, it’s quiet and calm just the way you like it. 
That is until your four roommates come crashing into your room, screaming and squealing over each other and you can't even make out what any of them are saying. The only things you’re able to make out are something about fate and the Sohee guy that Ningning’s been telling you about. 
“Wait, one at a time.” You stand and hold your hands out. “Giselle first.” You add
“Who’s turn is it to cook tonight? I’m hungry.” She slurs and then walks out of the room before any of you can answer her question. 
“Okay… Winter.” You point to her when she holds her hand up. 
“HI.” She holds her hand over her mouth when she giggles. 
“Hi, Winter.” Her giggle gets louder when you smile back at her.   
“Sohee wants to meet you,” Ningning yells, not giving Karina a chance to speak. 
“I’m not interested.” You state, sitting on your bed. 
“Come on, please. Just once.” She pleads for the second time of the day. 
“No.” 
“He could be the one.” Ningning begs even more.
“I don’t think so.” 
“He’s cute and sweet and probably even romantic.” She adds
“Then you date him.” You mutter, laying down on the bed and closing your eyes. 
“He wants you.” She continues even though you’ve turned your lamp off and shifted comfortably under your bed. 
“I don’t want him.”
Tumblr media
Other than your bedroom the best place on earth is the library. An endless world of books and possibilities. The best part about it? It’s completely quiet and the librarian always gives you one of her home-baked cookies. 
Today the library is completely empty which means it’s even quieter than usual. The only noise is the traffic noise and the thunderstorm happening from outside. Which is even better for you because you know your afternoon reading session is going to be better than ever. 
Walking down the romance aisle, dragging your index finger down each of the books until you find the very book you’re looking for. The spectator in the painting: volume 7/9. 
You had spent the last four months binging the book after your favorite book blog suggested it. A story about a prince who falls in love with a violinist and risks his life to save her when she gets sentenced to death after treading too deep into the king's chambers. 
The series was astonishing, just when you thought you knew what was gonna happen next, Boom! A plot twist. 
“There it goes.” You whisper to yourself when you find the book on the top shelf out of place from where it’s supposed to be. 
Your heart drops when you hear a somewhat familiar voice. The library is dead silent so when the boy walks in with his green sweatshirt and crossbody bag you immediately break out of your world. Leaning over the bookshelf to see if the voice belongs to who you think it belongs to.
“Good evening, Miss Lynn.” The boy greets happily leaning over the counter. You can tell he visits the library often because of how comfortable he is, smiling and making jokes with the librarian. That doesn’t bother you, but what does is Ms. Lynn passing him one of her home-baked cookies and joking with him about how he shouldn’t tell anyone. just like how she does with you. 
You take that as a sign to mind your business, not even wanting to know who the boy is anymore. Except when you think to walk away the librarian points in your direction, guiding the boy to the sci-fi genre of books behind you. What’s even worse is the exact second the boy turns around you see that he’s exactly who you thought it was.
“Fuck.” you mutter under your breath and hide behind the shelf. Holding your book to your chest. You clasp your hand over your mouth. You want to stand there and take in the shock that your body just went through but you know the better option is to get out of there as quickly and quietly as possible without him seeing you. Turning on your heels and walking quickly out of the aisle.
You’re almost there when you hear the boy call out for you. 
“Y/n?” You know you should just keep walking away but you can’t. You stop dead in your tracks and slowly turn back to him. He strolls closer to you when he’s sure that he called for the right person. 
“How do you know my name?” you question, suddenly every crime documentary comes to mind and your heart is racing. He could be a stalker or maybe a murderer. 
“It was on your coffee order.” He answers with his usual smile. except this time it’s a lot more reassuring, no one with such an adorable smile could ever harm you. Right?
After a few seconds of silence, he points to the book you’re holding. “you read this too?” 
“No, I was just curious about it. But now that I look at it, it seems uninteresting.” You flip the book around as if you’re examining it. 
“I thought people usually started with volume 1.”
“Is this not…” You feign ignorance, flipping the book around to see that it says volume 7 as if that wasn’t the one you intended to read. “Oh I don’t have my glasses, I tho…”
You trail off looking back at the boy. “I don’t have to explain myself to you.” you scold him.
“You don’t.” he agrees while reaching for the book in your hand. “I don't think you’ll like it anyway, the main character is so annoying. she’s always so defensive.” 
Your first instinct is to defend the woman, even if she is fictional. “She’s not-“ but then you realize you’ve blindly walked into his trap.
“Whatever, just give me the book.” You mutter, pulling the book from his hand and walking out of the library. Not caring that he fondly watches you stomp through the library doors with the book still in hand.
Tumblr media
“Why won’t he leave me alone?” You dramatically yell upon entering your apartment. 
“Who?” Giselle pops up first
“he?” Karina comes out second
“No! no one can talk to you right now. You’re already taken.”Ningning runs out grabbing by your arm as if this was gonna protect you from the boy, who’s not even in the room. 
“taken?” everyone except Ningning calls out at the same time.
“By Sohee.” 
Instead of a verbal response, you just roll your eyes, Ningning was very persistent, you’ll give her that.
“Okay wait, who's the guy that won’t leave you alone?” Winter asks 
“The guy from the coffee shop. It’s like he’s following me around, first at the cafe, then at the party, and now at the library.”
“The party?” Giselle questions “Is that why you left early.”
“That and I didn’t really wanna see Karina making out with a bunch of different strangers.” You admit, subtly gesturing to her with your hand. 
“Fair” Karina nods 
“Is he cute?” Winter questions
“The contrary! ” You somewhat shout. You’re very driven and determined to prove that you’re not into this guy even though you know it’s a lie. “What's even worse is that he won’t leave me alone and he knows my name.”
“like a stalker?” Giselle suggests 
“Probably, this is why I hate men.” You throw your hands up
“But you’ll love Sohee,” Ningning adds.
Tumblr media
Some days go by when you don’t run into him. five to be exact but it wasn’t like you were counting. You didn’t wanna see him, but it was torture for you to walk into places and constantly look over your shoulder because you thought he might be right behind you. 
You’re sitting at the kitchen counter, head propped up by the knuckle of your hand. You’ve been up for hours trying to finish this paper for your biochemistry class, but you’re not making any progress. There were only two coherent lines written on the paper and a bunch of random letters that appeared when you slammed your head on the keyboard of your computer. 
“I am so fucked.” You mutter, head still stuck into your laptop.
Your head stays there just a moment. You just needed a small break, nothing serious, just a small moment to reboot your brain and give you maximum creativity and intellect. 
Except it wasn’t just a moment, you had slept through your first two alarms. Head popping the second your alarm begins to ring, immediately your eyes go to the time. “No~.” you groan frustratedly. throwing your legs over the chair and running into your bedroom to get dressed.
Tumblr media
luckily you had just enough time to get some coffee and this time you brought your card. You made sure of it. 
You walk into the cafe and stand behind the six people who are already in line getting ready to place their orders. Humming along to the tune that they have playing lowly from the speakers, you pull out your phone to kill time, going back and forth through your social media. Until it’s your turn to place the order. 
“Good morning, what can I get for you today?” You notice the barista is different from the last one and much more welcoming as well. 
“I’ll just take a small iced americano.” You say, pulling out your wallet to pay for the coffee. 
“And can I get your name for the order?”
“Y/n” 
“Okay, I’ll call out your name when the order is ready.” 
“Perfect thank you.” You nod and find a table to go wait, Although it doesn't take long for the man to call your name. You stand up almost as soon as you sit down, pick up your iced drink, and head to the door. 
Just moments before you reach the door another man walks into the small coffee shop. You can tell that he’s already preoccupied with his phone to notice that you’re on your way out. So you take the initiative to get out of his way. However, it still doesn’t stop him from bumping into your shoulder and knocking your (thankfully, iced) coffee all over your clothes. 
“Watch where you’re going.” He’s the first to yell, he doesn’t bother helping you clean up the mess he made, and he doesn’t even apologize. 
The asshole just walks right past you. 
“Do you want me to kill him?” “Ye-” You almost say “yes.” on instinct but ultimately refuse and turn around to face the boy behind you. Letting your shoulders relax when you meet his soft eyes and familiar smile. “No, it’s fine.” No matter how hard you try you can’t stop the smile that grows on your lips. Hurrying and looking down before he could see it too. 
“I’ll go see if I can get a mop.” he walks away too soon to hear you say “okay.” and you stand there waiting for him with a stupid smile on your face as if you weren’t just wishing he’d vanish less than a week ago.
You’re only able to pull yourself out of your trance when he finally comes back with the mop. You reach to pull the mop out of his hand so you can clean it up but he stops you. “I go this, you can just wait over there. I’ll buy you a new coffee.” As if you weren’t slowly falling for him already. 
“Okay.” You nod sheepishly, walking to where he guided you. 
You weren’t one to get flustered, and especially not by man. But here you were kicking your feet, blushing and giggling all because someone offered to buy you a new coffee. 
It takes only 9 minutes for him to walk back to you with a fresh cup of iced americano. “You didn’t have-” “I know.” he cuts you off, pushing the coffee towards you until you accept it. You finally do after a few moments of just staring at it. 
“Thanks,” you say last, receiving the cup from his hand and getting ready to walk away. He lets you make it all the way to the door before he calls to get your attention. 
“Wait.” When you stop and turn around he jogs towards you and wraps his jacket around you to cover up the coffee stain that you have smudged into your shirt. “Here.” 
You don't fight with him this time because you’d rather wear his jacket down the street than a huge coffee stain on the front of your shirt. “Thanks.” is all you say, as you smile at him one last time. Turning and walking out the door not forgetting to sneak a few last-minute glances at him through the window.
The walk towards your school was like straight out of a movie. You’re grinning from ear to ear, giggling to yourself, and dancing along the sidewalk. Not caring for the strangers that were oddly staring at you.
You could say the coffee gave you energy but really it was the owner of the green varsity jacket you were wearing. 
Then that’s when it hits you. You stop dead in your tracks realizing that you have no way to return the jacket after today since it isn’t promised that you’ll see him again. 
Without thinking much you turn around and run back to the cafe, fingers crossed that he’ll still be there when you get there
You end up back in front of the cafe, panting and puffing but you still shuffle into the small shop and begin frantically searching for the boy. 
He was already long gone, the cafe had picked up activity since you’d left but he was nowhere to be seen. 
You’d encountered him four different times and even managed to get his jacket, but you still had yet to learn his name. The only thing you knew about him was that he read romance and that he likes coffee, parties, and apparently the color green. 
“Whose jacket is that?” Winter asks from your bed, watching you cautiously hang up the varsity jacket in your closet. You hurry and close the door to restrict her view of the overgarment.
“I bought it the other day.” You spur 
“Oh please, that is not your style.” Winter teases when you continue folding all the rest of your laundry. 
“I just needed something really quick.” You miss when Gisselle goes into the closet behind you and pulls out the jacket. 
“This is a man’s jacket.” She calls out, “I can still smell his cologne.” 
“A man’s jacket?” Karina and Ningning suddenly appear out of thin air. 
Squeezing your eyes shut before shoving your face into the palms of your hands, you wish you could disappear right there and then. There’s no point in even trying to explain yourself. You doubt you’d even get through the story without smiling.
“Y/n honey, we need to talk.” Ningning reaches for your hand. 
“talk?” You ask but get ignored by all four of your roommates. Karina and Winter both guide you to sit on your bed for whatever it is that Ningning has to say. She holds your hand as she looks at you to say “You’re forbidden from ever seeing him again.”
You cry “Wha- forbidden. you can’t do this.” You look around to the rest of the girls to defend you but they do absolutely nothing. 
“We've already set you up on a date with your soulmate.” Ningning leans in front of you so you can turn your attention back to her.  
“soulmate?” You question first but then circle back to the bigger problem. “A date?”
“You’ve led us to do this.” 
“How is this my fault? I didn’t ask for this.”
“we’re worried for you, if you don’t start dating now then when?” Winter interjects. 
“This is absurd, I don’t need to date.” You argue but it’s of no use because you still end up at the diner where the girls told you the date was gonna take place. 
You’re not really dressed for a date, just a simple pair of jeans, some sneakers, and the oversized green varsity jacket that you acquired two days ago. 
Wearing another guy's jacket on a date wasn’t ideal but neither was going on a date against your will. 
It was by force obviously, you weren’t here because you wanted to be but because you had no other choice. Ningning threatened to burn all of your prized possessions if you spent less than 30 minutes with the man she’s been dying to set you up with. 
Quite frankly you were starting to grow curious about this Sohee guy.
“Table 4” You murmur under your breath, it’s not hard at all to find the table. You knew this diner like the back of your hand since it’s the place that you and your roommates used as a hangout spot since your first year of university. However, you begin to question yourself when you see a familiar face sitting at the table where your date’s supposed to be. 
“What are you doing here?” You stop and question. 
The bow stands up when he notices you approach him “I’m here to see you.” 
“You can’t be here, I have a date.” 
“With Sohee?” He asks, but it sounds more like a statement to you. 
You’ve seen this before. (not from personal experience of course.) You’re getting stood up by a man you’ve never even met. The funniest part is you never wanted to go on this date in the first place. “Did he bail at the last minute?”  
“I don’t think we’ve ever gotten a chance to properly introduce ourselves.” The boy speaks, 
“If he’s not coming we don’t need to waste our time, I completely understand.” You halfway turn to leave before he blurts “I’m Sohee.” He holds his hand out.
This was a twist you didn’t even see coming. Looking at him with his hand held out towards you, all you can think about is Ningning trying to convince you that you and him were “written in the stars.” 
“Oh, you’re Sohee.” You repeat followed by a laugh of embarrassment. “Sorry about that, I thought-” You’re getting ready to explain yourself but decided against it. 
“Do you wanna sit down?” Sohee asks, only after watching you stare nervously at the chair in front of you. 
“Oh yeah, that’d be smart.”
Tumblr media
Awkward is when you take ten minutes staring at the menu because you thought that would be better than staring at the boy in front of you. Taking your time to read the food items, ingredients, and even calories (which you couldn’t care less about.) Especially when you already knew what you were gonna order anyway. The same thing you always order, A burger with a side of fries and a lemonade. 
“I’ve never seen you this shy before.” Sohee interrupts your thoughts as he pulls the menu from your hands. 
“I’m not shy, I’m just trying to figure out what I wanna eat.” You spit, pulling the menu back so you can finish wasting time. 10 minutes down, 20 more to go.  
“I’m guessing you don’t go on lots of dates.” He continues. You wanna yell at him for talking too much while you’re trying to read, but you don’t. You don’t get the chance to, as soon as you open your mouth the waitress comes out with food. 
“We haven’t ordered yet.” You look up to the kind waitress.
“I ordered for you, I wasn’t sure what you might’ve wanted so I just got you a burger.” As if on cue the server places a burger right in front of you, with a cup of lemonade to match.
You wanted to hate him, but boy was he making it so hard.
“If you already ordered, why did you let me spend so much time looking at the menu?” You ask when the waitress leaves. 
“In case I got something you didn’t like.” He says casually, reaching for his fork. 
Either you're just very simple or he’s made to be the love of your life. it could be both. 
Tumblr media
“You didn’t have to walk me home.” You’re looking at the ground, watching how your footsteps are in sync with his. It’s pretty dark outside so naturally it’s colder, but for some reason, it doesn’t bother you. 
“I wanted to.” He says simply, and the look in his eyes tells you that he’s being sincere.
It falls silent again, still awkward but this time it’s a comfortable awkwardness. And now that you kinda got to know him you realize that he’s not nearly as bad as you thought he was. So much for first impressions. 
“We’re here.” You stop right in front of your apartment building, standing on your tippy toes and landing back on your heels.
He first takes a glance at the semi-tall building and then back down at you, who's trying to look anywhere else but him.
“Thank you for agreeing to see me tonight.”
“yeah of course.” You nod even though you were completely against the idea. 
“I had fun.” 
“Me too.” You nod again. 
“So I guess I'll just see you around?” You can tell he’s just stalling now.
“I’ll definitely see you around.” you giggle.
“I guess it’s time for you to go now.” 
“I guess so.” you agree 
“Well, goodnight.”
“goodnight Sohee.” you watch him walk away, but he’s taking his sweet time. dragging his feet along the ground the farther he walks away from you. You almost find it amusing how dramatic he’s being. 
As you get ready to walk in and you grab the ends of the jacket you're wearing you realize that this is the perfect opportunity to return it.
“oh, Sohee.” You only have to call out once for him to come running back to you as if he never left.
“yeah?”
“Your jacket.” He stops you when you’re halfway through pulling it off.
“Keep it, it looks good on you.” 
“Are you sure?”
“goodnight, Y/n,” He says last, walking away and leaving you with his jacket. 
“How’d it go? What happened? Isn’t he cute?” Ningning bombards you with questions when you first step foot through your door. 
“he’s tolerable” You kick off your shoes and throw them off to the side. Then you reach to pull your jacket off, sliding it down your shoulders and hanging it up once you reach your bedroom.
“That’s great, it’s an improvement.” 
“If you say so.” 
“Did he say anything about the jacket? I told you not to wear the jacket.” Ningning mumbles 
“I bet he smelled the other man’s cologne.” Giselle snickers as she walks by.
“He said it looks good on me.” The room goes quiet and everyone stares at you...” Ningning watches you, jaw slacked and dilated pupils. 
“Y/n has a boyfriend, Y/n has a boyfriend.” It takes them not even ten seconds to form a circle around you and begin dancing like school children on the playground. 
Tumblr media
Your favorite time of day is when the sun begins to set. When the sky is painted in shades of orange and pink the birds fly over the sky. Your bedroom is flooded with the natural lighting of the sky, matching the mood of the jazz you have playing in your headphones.  
For a moment you sit and gaze out of your window, observing the people walking the streets below you, watching the cars drive past and the trees that sway in the direction of the wind. All of these things distract and entertain you, yet they still remind you of the boy you're trying so hard to forget. 
You stand up and close the blinds of your apartment. Blocking out all light, your room drifts into complete darkness, with only peaks of light shining through the cracks. 
That’s how it stays when you walk into the kitchen with the rest of your roommates. 
‘Oh, there she is.” Karina dramatically announces your appearance when you shuffle into the crowded space. Taking a seat on the stool next to her. 
“How come you don’t talk to us anymore?” Giselle asks 
“You are being dramatic, we talked this morning.” 
“You only asked me if I knew what you did with that hideous green jacket.” She scoffs 
“It’s not hideous, you just have no taste.” You playfully scold. 
“Whose jacket is that anyway?” Winter speaks up, digging in the fridge to pull out the orange juice. Wincing when Ningning slaps her arm for drinking out of the carton instead of grabbing a cup like everyone else. 
“Mine.” You answer. 
“No but actually?” Giselle asks, just as curious as the rest of the girls who are all watching and waiting for you to answer the question honestly. 
“Some guy let me borrow it because I spilled coffee on myself.” You leave out quite a few details but you’re sure what they don’t know won’t hurt them. 
“Okay so wait? Some random guy gave you his jacket-” Winter starts but Karina finishes “And you accepted it.” 
“I didn’t wanna walk around with coffee stains.” You shrug. 
“This is great, this is great. You’ll just go downstairs and explain that to Sohee so he won’t get the wrong idea.” Ningning claps as she gradually gets closer and tugs at your arm. Completely missing how blatantly confused you are. 
“Downstairs?” 
“Yeah, in his apartment” She never stops tugging at your arm. 
“Wait, he lives here?” 
“Yeah? Unit 411.” Ningning finally registers just how confused you are. “Didn’t he tell you?” 
Instead of answering her question you run out, leaving her and the rest of the girls as puzzled as you were a few moments ago. 
Without thinking much you knock on the door, just to see if what Ningning said was true. But after you knock you start growing anxious, suddenly you can hear your heartbeat and your hands are frantically moving at your side.
In the span of 10 seconds, you check the unit number 12 times just to make sure that you have the right one, and you’re not knocking on someone else's door. Soon you start to wonder what would happen if someone else answered the door. 
Just when you come to the conclusion to bail, you hear the doorknob turn and the door opens to reveal the boy you expected to see.  
Unfortunately, now that you see him, you realize you hadn’t planned after this point. So you just stare at him eyes wide, unsure of what to say or do. You’re just as shocked as he is when he stares back at you with a matching expression. 
You clear your throat before you take the initiative to speak first. “Why didn’t you tell me that you lived here too?” 
He answers, “I didn’t wanna scare you.” 
“Oh… that makes sense.” You nod, looking down at your pajama pants and bunny slippers. 
“Do you wanna come in?” He holds the door open for you to accept his invitation but you shake your head and back up. 
“No, I can't, I have to~” You struggle to come up with an excuse. “Finish my laundry.” You finish, nodding as if that’s gonna make him believe you. 
“Okay, well, I’ll see you around then?” 
“I guess it’ll be hard not to.” 
Tumblr media
You were never too fond of men. 
While most people had a tragic backstory that led them to hate the things they hate, you didn’t. 
You weren’t crossed by a man in your past resulting in your blatant hatred of the entire species. Sure you’d had unfavorable interactions with quite a few men in your life, but that wasn’t what led you to dislike them. 
It took many years of observation for you to come to your conclusion on the male race. However it didn’t take long for you to learn a few things about them.
But the most important thing was, they were all the same. 
That’s what you thought for years, every man, boy, guy, or male is the same. Yet, you find that your conclusion might not be entirely accurate. 
Looking at Sohee you feel that he’s different from all the guys you’ve ever come across. He isn’t selfish, or obnoxious. He isn’t entirely full of himself. 
He’s actually sweet and easy to be around. 
Which was good for you because, since you found out that he lived within a few hundred feet from you he began to follow you around like a puppy. 
Whether it was walking you to and from class, or even showing up to your apartment with breakfast. 
It was off-putting at first, 
You mindlessly strolled down the hallway of your apartment building. You weren’t thinking of anything other than the leftovers you were gonna eat when you finally got home. 
Sohee however had different plans. The second you turned the corner you noticed him standing at your door with what looked like a bag of takeout. 
Your body goes into shock before you can even comprehend what you’re doing. You hide behind the corner. 
You think maybe that’ll buy you enough time to figure out what to do next. You take a deep breath before slapping your hand over your mouth. 
You take a look at all the options you have. You could either sneak out through the stairs or you could take your chances with the elevator and hope that the girls aren’t on their way home. 
“Who are we hiding from?” Sohee suddenly appears right beside you. Causing you to jump in horror, luckily you were able to come up with a lie on the spot. 
“I was just… looking for my earring, I think I might've dropped it.” You pretend to look around for a nonexistent piece of jewelry. 
“What does it look like? I'll help you find it.” Rather than making him help you look for something that you knew was never going to be found you concocted another lie.
“uh no it’s okay, they were getting old anyways.” You say, pressing your lips into a thin line. 
“Oh well, do you wanna have lunch together?” He grins, holding up the brown paper bag in front of your face.  
But over time you’d gotten used to it, and maybe even came to kind of like his dog-like personality.
“So you’re a man-hater” Sohee starts, despite knowing that you hated when people talked while you were reading. 
He’s not necessarily an exception but you don’t get as mad about it when he does it. You continue reading, but you spare a moment to respond to him. 
“I guess you can say that.” Your eyes are still glued to the words of the book. 
“But you like me.” He continues, you make the mistake of pulling your gaze away from your novel, meeting the annoying smirk he has on his face.
You open your mouth to speak but he beats you to it. “You do know I'm a man right?”
“Yes, I know you’re a man. I have eyes.” 
You watch his grin grow wider before you go back to reading your book. “And I don't like you, I just don’t hate you as much as the others.” 
You say, even though you're sitting in his bed, your hair pushed up into a bun and your glasses hanging loosely above your nose. It’s a Saturday night, you could be doing skin care with your girls or binging cartoons on Netflix. But you chose to be here, in his room spending time with him.
To him, that said a lot.
“Woah, so you're in love with me.” Sohee jokes partly.
“How did you come up with that?” You laugh, turning on your side to face him better. 
Sohee shrugs, “It’s a talent.” He wasn’t too far off. You often denied it whenever someone brought it up but if you were being honest. you were falling for him, faster and harder than you liked to admit. 
The more you resisted, the easier he made it. There wasn’t anything you could do, it was inevitable.
Almost as if it was fate. 
You laugh to yourself thinking about it, laying your book down and fully relaxing into the fluffy white pillows he has aligned on his bed. 
You’re fighting against sleep, trying your hardest to keep your heavy eyelids open. Taking long blinks until you finally give in and let yourself fall asleep. 
Sohee finally comes back with the water you asked him for but you’re already well into your slumber. He’s sure of it because when he gently calls your name all he gets in response is a soft snore. 
Rather than waking you up, he pulls your glasses off, closes them, and lays them on the bedside table. He leaves for a brief moment to get you another cover, laying it over top of you and turning the lights off so you can rest peacefully. While he took the couch for the night.
“Where were you?” Ningning scolds. Not even letting you walk all the way in the door before she starts bombarding you with questions 
“Do you know how long I stayed up waiting for you? I was worried sick.” She continues to yell at you when you finally squeeze past her and walk into the apartment. 
“You went to sleep at nine.” Winter exposes her
“I was worried sick.” Ningning repeats, swinging her index finger around. 
“I slept at Sohee’s.” You say almost in a whisper but Karina is somehow able to hear you all the way from her room. 
“What?” She runs out, “You slept at a man's house? With a man?” 
“Yes, and that’s all we did. So don’t get your expectations too high.” You scold, specifically pointing your finger at Ningning who’s bouncing with joy. You can already tell what she’s thinking before she even says it. 
“No, we didn’t sleep in the same bed,” 
Tumblr media
The rain outside sounds more like a hail storm than anything else. You just wait by the entrance of the school and contemplate if you wanna walk home in this weather. 
The sound of the heavy wind isn’t so convincing but the boy waving at you with a bright smile might be enough to sway you. 
“What are you doing here?” You ask, mindlessly walking into the rainstorm to meet him face to face. 
“I came to walk you home.” He responds, his smile unwavering. 
“You shouldn’t have, you’re all wet now and it’s cold you’re gonna get sick.” You’re scolding him but he’s still grinning at you like an idiot. 
“I wanted to.” Is all he says locking eyes with you.
The rain could be snow, the sky might be purple but his eyes, you’re sure are brown. A brown that can only be seen with the help of the sun. Now that the sun was nowhere to be found they were so dark it could be categorized as black. 
You find them the most mesmerizing at this moment. You’re staring at him and he’s staring back at you. That’s when you take the opportunity to see how his lips feel, closing in the space in between you that not even a drop of rain can fit through. 
Isn’t it crazy how love can be found in the strangest of places, who would’ve thought you’d fall head over heels for the weirdo you met in a coffee shop?

Black Light 4
Warnings: namecalling, violence, other dark elements. Proceed with caution.
Note: thank you for waiting! Please let me know what you think as it helps me a lot with ideas and I love interacting with you all.
Part of The Club AU
Tumblr media
You check yourself in the mirror. The black bob isn’t a bad look. You tilt your head back and forth making the sleek strands wiggles back and forth. The sunglasses complete the look and you ponder overhauling your usual style. You look dangerous.
You resist scratching under the wig and give yourself a smile. You look almost devilish in the get up but you can’t chance being recognised on your mission. No, this is very important. This is revenge. Served tepid.
You sneak out the backdoor and check your phone. You have another message from your new friend. She texted you earlier that she had a new cell already. You hang onto yours like gold, you’re not really sure what you would do if you lost it. Probably turn to the primitive lifestyle.
‘I’m headed to the club, meet you at the cafe.’
‘Sure thing, 🐔💸’ You text.
She texts back a simple question mark.
‘Chicken wing’ you clarify and smack your forehead. You’re such a dweeb. You follow up quickly; I’ll be there.
You head downtown, catching a bus halfway and tossing the transfer. You could use the walk as your nerves are starting to flurry. You approach the cafe and see your friend. She wears a denim skirt and an off-the-shoulder red shirt. Her shoes are the same shade as her top. She looks towards you then the other way, not acknowledging your approach.
You near and give a short ‘psst’. She whips around and sneers in your direction before blanching and saying your name.
“Like it?” You pull down your sunglasses. “I feel like Sandy from Grease. Well, more like Rizzo.”
“Uh, sure, why are you dressed like that?”
“Oh, I didn’t want that guy to recognize me so I figure I could sneak in like this.”
“Ah,” she nods and lets out a sigh, “right. Well, try going to the other one when they card ya.”
“That works too. You’re so clever.”
“Thanks,” she says dully, “come on.”
You give a bounce and follow her down the street. She marches on, set on her path as you skip to keep up. She’s a lot more graceful in her heels. And angry. You worry about Cole, he might not be ready for what she has in store.
“Hopefully that jackass is there but those types usually don’t have anything else going on,” she snarls as if reading your mind.
“Uh, yeah.”
“You make sure you point him out when you see him. And don’t get to close, I’ll take care of him. No drinks, either. Let’s not take that chance.”
“Sounds like a plan. Well, kind of.”
“Don’t worry, I can slip this guy something. Don’t you worry. Men are stupid, he gets distracted by his next mark and I’ll strike first,” she turns the corner and you flutter along with her, joining the queue outside the club.
“You’re so brave,” you admire.
“No, I’m pissed,” she insists as she crosses her arms, slowly shifting with the line.
You peek out around the bodies. You see that man, Auggy. He’s scowling at an ID. You watch him and his eyes flick up as if he can sense you. You recoil quickly and put your chin down.
“Hey, be cool,” your friend touches your elbow, “busy tonight, you just gotta blend in.”
“Mmm, yeah,” you murmur, “I just… I don’t know what I did. I was nice–”
“He’s an old grump,” she scoffs, “who cares how he feels.”
You approach the front of the line and make sure to veer towards the other bouncer, the one with the pudgy belly. He barely looks at your card as he waves you inside. The two of you enter to the buzz of the crowd and blare of speakers. 
“Now, we hunt,” she says, “keep your phone on you. You get close to him, let me know. Oh, and take a picture if you can.”
“Right, uh…”
“I’ll get upstairs, you stay down here,” she directs, “we’ll meet back up in half an hour if we can’t find him.”
“Sure.”
“Look, I got you. Anyone gives you trouble, text me. And give em a punch like I showed you.”
You put your fist up and pat your elbow as you reenact the brief lesson she gave you earlier. She smiles and squeezes your arm.
“Good,” she praises, “now, let’s do this.”
She turns and struts off. You admire her from afar. She’s so cool. And she likes you, you think. She’s a lot nicer than Amanda or Kam. You frown and spin around, looking around at the dancing figures and the bar shining at the far end of the room.
Where to begin…
You twiddle your fingers and give a huff. You have to get in the mindset. The grindset. The findset. Find him. Hmm, you’re not great with faces…
You go to take a step forward and you're suddenly hauled back by your arm. You yipe. No one around you reacts as you’re slammed against the wall, a shadow towering over you. You look up as your sunglasses are torn away and a light is shone in your face. The bouncer lets out a gravelly growl as the small bulb of the flashlight glares in your eyes.
“I knew it was you,” he grits.
“Oh, hi, Auggy!” You chime, “how are you?”
“Don’t act like you fucking know me,” he clicks off the light and leans down until your encased in the blackness of his silhouette. “You don’t want to know me.”

Can I please request headcanons of Yuri girlfriend with the Yuri Angels? Can be anything, like how the fans reacted to their relationship, if they like her, etc. Thanks in advance ❤
Tumblr media
Yuri plisetsky x reader headcannons
A/N: OMG thank you so much for requesting !! Sorry for replying so late things have been hectic recently
Synopsis: Yuris angels reaction to you, his girlfriend
★・・・・・・★ ・・・・・・★
Yuris angels
They are very protective over Yuri, and if they don’t like his girlfriend they get angry
However, they were very fond of you
At first they were skeptical of you and you make snarky tweets like “who does she think she is going after a worldly man like Yuri 🙄”
But after maybe a month of you guys dating they started to warm up to you
They would make edits of you guys together and post them tagging the both of you
Eventually they came up with that ship name that went viral
At every competition they would fangirl over you and Yuri together, and would ask you things about Yuri when you were caught alone
Yuri however, is not super fond of him fans clinging to you. Not because he wants them just as his fans but because he dosent want them annoying you.
You assure him that they aren’t annoying and that you actually quite like them.
One time when you and Yuri were out eating at a cafe in Moscow after a competition and a few fans saw you guys eating together.
They came inside and walked up to you two and asked for a photo
You quickly said yes and Yuri allowed it because you were fine with it.
After the picture they posted it on Instagram and it blew up with comments about how cute the two of you were together.
There is that one section of fans that hates you with every fiber of their being
But Yuri always manages to keep them in check
There are so many fan edits and fan arts of you guys it’s not even funny
Every time you guys go out together, later that day there will be many pictures of the two of you up on fan accounts
There is one specific photo that everyone knows of tho
When you two were out at a super fancy restaurant, one fan got a photo of the two of you kissing outside the restaurant and people went crazy

Where we stand
You laid in bed, your mind restless and filled with warring thoughts.
You became great friends with Jihyo and the rest of Twice, ever since you met.
You remembered it as if it were only yesterday. After the two of you had left the bar, you stopped at a nearby convenience store for dessert. The conversation kept flowing naturally and you could talk to her for hours.
True to her word, she kept you at arms length but you meant what you said too. Whenever your schedules allowed it, you would agree to meet, whether it be in a quaint cafe or just you hanging out in their dorm. And you always bought her flowers, along with little gifts here and there just because "they would suit her".
A soft knock on your door brought you back to reality. Your brother peeked his head through to catch your eye.
"Is everything okay? I can hear your thoughts all the way from my room."
You sat up and hugged your knees.
"Just thinking and I can't sleep."
He sat beside you quietly before bringing you to sit closer to him.
"What's on your mind sis? Is it Jihyo?"
"How did you-"
"Oh please. I'm your older brother, of course I'm going to know. Is everything alright between you?"
"Yeah it's been great it's just that I'm not really sure if we're just friends or tiptoeing along that line of something more." You looked down in a sense of self pity at your situation, while your brother looked like you had said the most absurd thing ever.
"Hold the phone. You mean to tell me that after courting for her for a year, you still haven't asked her out officially?!"
"Hey!" You grumpily grabbed his pyjama top and frowned. "I would never rush or pressure her into something she isn't ready for. She did make it clear that she doesn't do dating, so I'll respect that. It's just...difficult to not know where we stand and what she's thinking."
"Well here's a bright idea, genius, why don't you try asking her?"
"Don't you think I want to?!" Your brain was too tired for this shit.
"Don't get angry with me." He raised his hands defensively. "You're the idiot who is telling their brother this at 3:30 in the morning instead of telling the person who actually needs to know all of this."
Once again, you scowled at your brother before pushing him off the bed.
"Get out."
He did as he was told but not before turning around with an annoying grin on his face.
"Love you too, my precious sibling. I hope you get the balls to ask Jihyo to be your girlfriend!"
"Oh, shut up." There was no real anger behind your words and you had to fight a smile.
You laid back down, pondering your brother's words. You knew he was right. You had to say something before it hurts too much.
-x-
You nervously stood outside of their dorm, trying to hype yourself up for today. Your brother had tried to give you a pep talk, but you were so out of it, the only words you caught were 'go get your girl, sis!' as you left the house.
The sound of someone clearing their throat brought you back to earth as the maknae looked at you.
"I was getting tired waiting for you to knock."
"Oh. Right...sorry. Is Jihyo ready?"
"She'll be out in a minute. You can come in."
You walked into the front room, and Sana sprung up from the couch and engulfed you in a tight hug.
"Hi y/n!" You also glanced at Mina and waved as best you could.
"Those flowers are cute! Are they for me?" Sana bat her eyelashes at you, making you laugh.
"Unfortunately no, but here." You pulled one of the flowers out of the bouquet and tucked it behind her ear.
"There. Now you have a flower."
She giggled and pinched your cheek.
"Ah y/n you're so sweet. I wonder if Jihyo would mind if I steal you for the day instead?" She said jokingly.
"Yes, she would mind." You whipped around at the sound of her voice, as she walked into the room.
"Hi." She smiled and any words you could've said escaped, leaving you to just shyly wave. Just like you did when you first met.
Mina came over at that moment, and took the flowers off you.
"I'll put these in a vase, but you two should get going."
"Right." You held out your hand towards Jihyo and grinned in return. "Shall we?"
She took your hand and pulled you out of the dorm.
Sana pouted as you left, sighing.
"I wish I could find someone who looks at me like that."
"I don't know unnie, I think you've already found them, you just haven't realised it yet." Without elaborating, Tzuyu walked off, leaving Sana to chase after her, asking what she meant.
~x~
"A fair?" You made it to your destination and at first you felt it had been a great idea but now, you wanted to sink into the ground. Nevertheless, you decided to stand by your decision.
"Yep. I wanted to take you here on your birthday but since we were both busy, now is as good as any time. I know it's a little...different that what we usually do but different is good sometimes right?"
She was quiet with a neutral expression, and you were just about to change your mind before she looked determined all of a sudden.
"Right."
Hours later and the pair of you had done just about everything you could there. You played games, making sure to win her prizes, ate at almost every food stall and took many, many photos. There was just one thing you wanted to do there, and that was go on the ferris wheel.
Which is where you were now. You had made it to the top of the ferris wheel and you were staring into the horizon, gathering the courage to say what has been on your mind.
"Y/n are you alright? You've been quiet and stiff for a while now."
Okay, this is it. Don't back out now.
"Jihyo, I-" You turned to her, and you felt like you had stopped breathing.
Jihyo was glowing. Literally glowing. The sunset had surrounded her in a halo of light.
"Wow." You exhaled and Jihyo tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. A sign of her shyness.
"What?"
"Jihyo, you're so beautiful."
"Yah y/n! Dont tease me."
"I'm serious." Neither of you said anything after that, the sound of your racing hearts was loud enough.
~x~
You walked together through the city, the sun had fully set, giving way to the clear night.
You just had one more stop before the day ends.
"So, where's this mystery place you're taking me?"
"If I tell you, then it won't be a mystery will it? Anyway, we're here now."
She looked at you, confused before actually looking at where you were gesturing.
"A playground?"
You nodded proudly.
"I know it's strange but just hear me out. You told me how you spent your childhood training for idol life, and you said never really experienced what it was like to just play outside in the park. So I guess for one day, I wanted to give you that. But you don't have to if you don't want to."
You looked down at your feet, while Jihyo looked at you with awe. She stepped towards you, and kissed your cheek.
"You are so sweet."
She ran to the swings, and you pushed her as high as you could. The sound of her laughter made your heart flutter.
Eventually, she sat still and you joined her on the other swing.
Come on y/n. Say it before you lose your nerve.
"Jihyo. What exactly are we?"
"Hm?"
"I know you said you don't do dating but I don't know where we stand." You held her hands to anchor yourself.
"Jihyo I'm in love with you. Every moment I spend with you, I keep falling. And I'm sorry to spring this on you out of the blue but keeping this bottled up started to hurt. I feel lighter after getting all of this out but please don't feel pressured-"
Jihyo embraced you tightly, before caressing your cheek.
"I love you too, y/n."
Nothing could wipe the smile off your face at the moment. Nothing.
You leaned into her touch, sighing with relief.
"I was so afraid that I would lose you if I said anything."
You reached into your bag and pulled out a sleek box.
"I have one more thing for you, as a late birthday present."
"Y/n...you've done more than enough."
"Shhh let me spoil you." You opened it and inside was a simple necklace with a Twice charm and a microphone charm engraved with their debut date.
"I know it's not some million dollar piece of jewellery, but I got this for you, so you'll always remember that all your hard work and sacrifices have paid off. And that if you haven't already experienced it, there will come a time where all nine of you will be standing on stage surrounded by your fans; and you will realise that you made it. When that moment does come, that feeling will never leave you."
You looked at her once more only to see that she was crying, which made you panic.
"Are you ok-" Jihyo pulled you towards her, and your brain short circuited as your lips connected. After a second, you relaxed into it and reciprocated.
"I must have done something exceptional in a previous life, if the universe has given me someone as extraordinary as you. Can you put the necklace on me?"
And so you did. The both of you admired it, and it was you this time, who couldn't resist stealing a kiss.
Not that Jihyo minded of course. In fact, she was eager to share many more kisses with you. And really, who were you to deny her that?

From chapter 3 of Where All This Love Comes From, which will be going up on Sunday! Can't wait to share! Chapters 1-2 are up on Ao3 now. Let's go to NYC in 2010 - where TK is in hot water...
Owen rubs TK’s back, his face devastatingly sympathetic. “Son, last week I asked if you had a boyfriend. You told me you didn’t. Is he your boyfriend?”
TK sighs tiredly at the misunderstanding. This whole thing has blown up in what feels like every kind of bonkers way. “No. We’ve just hung out. Hooked up a few times.” Their first hookup had been so incidental it barely registered – a simple ‘we’re both into dick and we’re horny, let’s do something about it’ arrangement between them. “And now it’s gone from nothing, and nobody’s business, to being this massive problem the whole world knows about. I’m so angry. I’m so fucking angry!”
Gwyn tries to hold him. “TK. Calm down.”
“No!” He backs away from them both. “Fucking make me.”
“That’s what I’m trying to do."
Owen snatches at TK’s elbow to get him to come back. “Stay here, son.”
“Get off–” TK shoves Owen’s reaching arm away.
“Oh, you want to fight me now?”
“Stop it!” Gwyn shouts, her voice scything the air between them. They both step back, upright and guilty. She puts her hands on her hips, glaring, thinking. “TK. This is serious. This time next year, you’re a senior. School will be over before you know it. Principal Arenburg’s right. Don’t ruin it for yourself, sweetheart. You’re so nearly there.”
“Your mom’s right, too,” Owen says, “You have to get your head down, do your work, stop drinking, stop smoking weed, stop taking pills, stop having sex–”
“Damn it, Owen,” Gwyn clips, “You’re making him sound like Keith Richards.”
TK doesn’t let himself smile. The situation is too dire. Sex and drugs are the best thing about school, and - outside of biology and photography club - his reason for going.
“Okay,” TK says, “But I’m not going to pretend to be happy about it. Actually, I promise, hand on heart, I’ll be miserable.”
“Ah, there he is.” Owen smiles mockingly and deigns to squeeze TK’s shoulder. “Daddy’s ray of sunshine.”

Nari's Relationship With Jisung
Tumblr media
Summary: Closer look at Nari and Jisung's relationship
Mother & Son Duo
In short: just like how baby animals imprint on whoever they see first (usually the mother), when Jisung saw Nari it was an immediate imprint and ever since then, he has looked up to Nari and followed her around
Nari was a bit confused (and concerned) that Jisung would follow her from afar, always watching her when she talked to the older members and practising, etc. during pre-debut days
She thought he had a crush on her or something but realised he simply looked up to her cuz apparently to him, Nari looked like a very 'cool' person despite the slight language barrier they had
Nari also noticed how young he came to the trainee life so it was instinctual for her to watch out for him and look after him - especially when she saw how super shy and reclusive he was to everyone
So you'll see Nari taking care of him - whether it be feeding him, fixing his clothes/hair, giving him life tips or small performance tips, etc.
She is one of his emergency contacts outside of direct family
He looks up to and trusts her a lot - the same level as trusting his mother - so if he ever needs help, he'd go to Nari instantly. Ad cuz of that, he sometimes calls her 'Eomma' by mistake ksjgb
Has been there for him in all of his milestones - even when having solo work, she was there for him, sent him to the airport when he went on 'Why Not?' with Eunhyuck and Gikwang
She was super worried for him when he was going alone with no NCT members looolll
Whenever the Dreamies attended an award show when they were still minors, Nari was always at Jisung's side and would leave with them when it hit 10pm
Nari is the one who mainly updates Jisung's mother on what he's been up to - Nari is quite close with Jisung's mother
Who Do You Call?
Calling Nari is almost a daily occurrence
He always calls her for help or just to talk mainly to ask for help because he's kinda clueless about most things
Times/Places he calls her: while on Vlive/IG live/Weverse live, before Dream goes on stage, when he needs advice for something
You know when Dream was doing that cooking competition on YouTube, and he had to clean the vegetables? He called Nari to see if he needed to use dishwashing soap (she was pretty concerned when he asked her that innocent question)
When he got the wrong order from the cafe during 'Why Not?', he was pretty upset cuz he practised his English a lot with Nari (even called her before he took the order just to be sure) so he felt like he failed Nari especially. He called her again, and rather than be scolded, Nari was comforting him and was rather angry at the cashier
"Let me talk to that lady -" "Noona, I don't think that's necessary..." "Nuh! You said what you wanted so clearly! What she did was not nice, so let me just talk to her and I'll -" "Noona, no!"
Basically, Nari is his go-to for calling - "Hang on, let me call Noona for help" "I think Noona knows about this, let me call her" "Noona would love this! Hang on, let me call her" "I bet you Noona will answer my call than yours"
SM tried to delete the scenes of Jisung calling Nari in most videos HAHAH but they couldn't take away all of the scenes, especially after the fans found out about this habit after a Vlive Jisung once did when he revealed his habit of calling Nari
They found it absolutely cute how he would call her and believe in what she says - cuz Nari never lies to him
Traditions
Jisung must always talk to Nari before any performance
Since trainee days, he must always hear the same words of encouragement from her because for some reason it comforts him a lot and gives him confidence (and he believes it gives him luck)
So sometimes you'll see in the behind-the-scenes of music shows and such, you'll see him either on his phone with air, or she would physically be there and encouraging him - if for some reason she can't do either of those, there is a saved video and audio of her encouraging him (and the Dreamies)
Calls or Texts Goodnight Before Sleeping
This started before they debuted and the Dreamies started living in dorms together
Nari was worried for them (even though Kun lived with them for a while), so she wanted Jisung to text her whenever he's at home and is about to sleep at night
So it became a tradition for them, and if it doesn't happen, then Nari gets concerned and for Jisung it feels like he forgot to do something and feel quite empty
Him contacting her lets her know that he is safe and not somewhere dangerous
When parting ways, they kiss each other on the cheek
When the Dreamies were cute trainee babies, they were much more affectionate to the older members than they are now
So Jisung was very affectionate with Nari when he was a young trainee, and Nari was uwu for him back then and he brought out her soft side to return the sentiment
But as he grew older, he would get embarrassed and wouldn't want to do it (like Mark)
But he can see how it saddens her sometimes, so he would try to do it as subtle as possible if they are in front of fans - for example, he would hug her and then sneak a small kiss to her cheek
Nari still kisses him on the cheek in public, she doesn't care of the people - she raised that boi, so she is going to still express her love to him like a mother would
Fans noticed this tradition, however, and now have fun trying to find the small interactions to coo over (you see on YouTube, 'Jisung + Nari Cute Kissing Moments' sfbgks)
If they're just relaxing with close friends and family, Jisung would be more willing to do it (especially when he drank quite a bit), he's just shy and worried that people might send hate her way
Protective
Just because Nari is like a mother figure to him and always tries to protect him, doesn't mean he doesn't return the sentiment
As years pass, he's grown to want to protect her more
Even pre-debut he wanted to look after her (especially when he saw the pressure she was under by the company and all the hate she was getting as well as the group. He can see she blames herself for the added hate on the group cuz of her presence)
But as years passed, he grew taller and more mature and wanted to protect her more
So whenever they have a schedule together, or they go out together, he always tries to make sure she's okay - like when attending award shows he would be watching out for her from afar and if needed, would be at her side
Would give her his jacket, help her walk when she's in heels, open the door for her, etc.
If they're just chilling in public, Jisung would sometimes stand in front of her protectively or be at her side, one hand on her arm gently or holding her hand
There are also cute moments where he would hold his arm out in front of her when they're about to cross the road just in case she accidentally walks into traffic without checking (which she wouldn't do, but she finds it nice that he would look out for her)
He was also one of the members who helped Nari in the Korean language - like how he helps Chenle, he also helps Nari when she has a few language barriers
And we all know how protective Nari is of her loved ones, so she would do anything for him - even fight people if necessary. She wasn't too happy when he was on 'Dancing High' and went through a lot of stressful things there and spoke up about it
Jisung knows he can rely on her whenever he feels uncomfortable about something, he knows she'll be there ready to bring out her Mama Bear - cuz Jisung lowkey is one of the main reasons she lowered her walls in NCT and showed her care for them
Overall, their relationship is a cute mother and son duo that everyone finds super adorable. Although he's taller than her now, he's still the little boy Nari met back in their trainee days and raised.

Every Rose Has It's Thorns - Part Five
Tumblr media
pairing: Ricky Olson x ofc (Talia)
warnings/tropes: slow burn, soulmates, strangers to enemies to lovers, betrayal, angst, fluff, smut, language.
summary: In a world where soulmates inexplicably receive a tattoo that will match that of their soulmate the moment they turn eighteen years old, being famous and covered in very visible tattoos can make finding your true soulmate a questionable fate. Not that it is any easier for the soulmate in question. Thus is the fate for Ricky and Talia. Sooner or later, however, life is bound to collide, but what will happen when it does?
author’s note: Unbeta’d, so please readers beware.
tags: @tearfallpixie @cncohshit @jordynyingling0219 @faceless-mirror @nyxthedestroyerofworlds @wild-child-7747 @witchyweeb34 If you would like to be added feel free, please let me to know, whether to this list specifically or in general.
~~
Even though Talia already knew she had her appointments cleared, and nothing was scheduled for the day, she’d called into the shop just to check in on her books while Ava was driving the car to the hotel that Vinny had messaged her late last night while they were driving home. She could only guess that he’d sent her the message the moment he knew where they were staying when she’d gotten the message. Ava didn’t say anything about Talia calling in, and Talia didn’t either, but they both knew there was at least half a chance she was hoping that someone had called in hoping for a last minute appointment and she could get out of this trip somehow.
Not that Ava would have let her take the appointment as it was supposed to be her arranged day off, even if she didn’t have the planned hangover that she’d thought she would have. Either way, no such luck, her clients had all been told it was her day off, and they were all respecting the fact that she was going out for her birthday. Dammit. Couldn’t even one of them just complain?
Timing however was horrible when they pulled up outside of the hotel, and there was Grace. Grace with luggage, and it didn’t look like she was going in with all of her things, she was leaving. Talia swallowed, Ava nudged her, but while she knew Ava probably thought this should excite her, after that look Ricky had given her, that hated, and knowing she’d caused this, she was not excited.
Then there was the withering look Grace was giving her as the Uber driver was packing her luggage into his car,
“Remember, he wanted me first, freak, enjoy my left-overs.”
Once she was in the car and and they’d driven off, Ava just re-iterated,
“I said it last night and I’ll say it again, soulmate stealing hussy, and she isn’t worth it, let’s go.”
Talia just wished Ava would figure out soon that today wasn’t about her, at all, maybe as soon as she saw Vinny again, that excitement would take over, she hoped so, she really hoped so.
~~
Ricky didn’t want to be coming down for breakfast. He’d barely slept after last night. Considering Grace was with them at the moment, usually he’d be sharing a room with her, but with the development, naturally he’d requested to not. She had her room paid for one last time by the tour, and he paid for her transport home, just to get her gone. It might be a mistake, but she wasn’t wrong, they had been together for years, and stranding her away from home would just be heartless because he’d gotten her to come on tour because he’d had to genius idea to recreate the way they’d met in a silly cafe on an off day to propose to her. He felt like an idiot, and now Vin wants him to go and be social?
Honestly, he’d rather just order something in and eat it in their room considering Vin was dragging him down to meet with his soulmate, and, the other one. No Vin, there was no way in his mind she was his real soulmate. He refused to go down that path after all of this. It was insane, and he was tired of it. He was tired, and angry, and he was done. He would rather give up and refuse all the soulmate issues entirely than deal with one more soulmate tattoo ever again.
Yet, here he was, being dragged downstairs, by Vin, to meet with Ava, and what the hell was her name, oh, right, Talia. Okay, he didn’t want to know, he didn’t want to care, he was only going down because Vinny was making him. His hoodie pulled up over his head, he stepped out of the elevator into the lobby of the hotel, Vinny was so obviously excited, and he wanted to be happy for him, he did.. Watching for him, he was trying not to be bitter. He swore he was trying as he saw him grinning walking over to the one that he knew was his soulmate, Ava.
The other one, what-her-name, right, Talia, just off to the side. Ricky glanced at her. He didn’t even bother to say hello. Spiteful yes, but he didn’t care, last night his life imploded. He knew it wasn’t really her fault, it wasn’t like she forced Grace to fake a soulmate mark, but he didn’t believe for a second that this one had the real thing, not one second.
“So, since you two are locals, we’re guessing you guys might know where is good for breakfast right? Somewhere quiet hopefully?”
Vinny was asking, Rick just shrugged, and Ava grinned,
“Absolutely, my favourite place is this nice little dinner, they have the best chocolate chip pancakes, I’m sure you’ll love something there.”
Talia glanced between the pair and felt a prang in her chest at the way Ava giggled, actually giggled and clasped her hands in front of her, she never fucking giggled. This was a woman that would punch her in the arm so hard she’d bruise for a week just because she made a idiotic joke, and she was giggling like a schoolgirl, wow. Smirking a little, but then, she glanced at Rick, and seeing the dark look in his eyes directed at her, and it was like shards of ice shredding her veins. Tearing her eyes away from him, this was going to be such, fun.
~~
Settling in at the diner, ordering breakfast was simple enough, but as they waited for their food, coffees in front of them, that was when things really started to get awkward. Before Talia just tried to ignore Rick, focus on Ava and Vin, being all lovey, smiling at each other, nudging each other, yea, that was what they were doing, it was stupid. So stupid, and so nice that they seemed happy. At least someone was.
However, that was when Vinny brought up what she’d told him the night before about her soulmate tattoo,
“You need to tell him what you told us in the greenroom Talia, Ricky needs to hear it from you, not from me, or Ava, you.”
Talia looked out the window, the empty stare, no, not empty, she could feel the glare without even looking at him, the glare she was getting from Rick was.. He didn’t want to hear anything from her and she knew it. Looking across the table to Vinny she paused before looking over to Ricky.
“I was a fan of the band for a while already, the moody teenager phase according to my parents, so when I turned eighteen and I got my tattoo, I was shocked. It wasn’t just your rose, it was right there.”
Shrugged, she wasn’t going to give him the pity party about no one believing her, about being harassed and tormented about being a psychotic fan. About how even her own parents had thought she needed therapy for honestly believing she had a famous soulmate with no real proof. He didn’t care, and she didn’t want yet another person treating her like shit, he was doing that enough already, and it hurt worse than anyone else ever had, not that she would admit that, she’d built up a tough skin over the years, she had to.
“I went to every concert I could get to, I could afford to, both because I loved the music, and yes, hoping to meet you, there were some almost moments.. But the last one, it was right there. I was right there.. You were.. But you were with her, and you looked hap-”
Talia paused when he frowned,
“You seemed happy, and I thought, you were happy, and who was I to try and take that away from you. So I just let go. I moved on, just lived like my tattoo was a normal tattoo.”
Ricky scoffed, so he was supposed to believe she was some sort of saint putting his happiness before her own? Fuck that. No. If she was willing to go to all those concerts, why the fuck would she just back of?
“It is a normal tattoo, I’m not stupid, sob story, best friend soulmates? Yeah right. Ava I can buy, she’s got the unique mark, but you too? No. I might have been duped by Grace, but I’m not doing it again.”
He looked away when the waitress brought over their food, setting their plates down and they all took the moment to start getting tucked in. Vin took the chance to change the subject and seemed to start asking questions instead.
He was asked about them, about their friendship, how they became friends, when they met, and Ava happily launched into the tale. Pre-school. In the sandbox. Talia had been building a sandcastle, always the artist, and some idiot boys came over and smashed it, so Ava had come over and smashed them, literally pushed them over and made one of them eat the sand. She’d gotten in so much trouble for that, but Talia had made a friend for life.
Ricky rolled his eyes. Of course Ava was her defender, but at the same time, it was good that she could stand up to the trolls, she wouldn’t survive a relationship with Vin if she couldn’t handle trolls. Talia would be crushed with the slightest bully online if she couldn’t handle a couple of preschoolers.
“Okay, fast forward to now, what do you both do for work, it sounded like you both worked at the same place with how you talked leaving last night.. Something about clients?”
Ricky snorted, Talia glared at him, she could only imagine what was going through that head of his, probably the worst possible thoughts..
“I’m a tattoo artist, and Ava is a- what do you call it again?”
Ava grinned at her as she swallowed her bite of, yes, chocolate chip pancakes,
“Customer Service Representative.”
Talia smirked as she lifted up her coffee and glanced over to Vin,
“She would make an amazing personal assistant arranging things for you guys to make things easier on tour, even if it's just personal things. She does wonders for me at the parlour. My schedule would be a mess without her.”
Yes, she was talking her up, she wanted her to find a good place in Vin’s life, and Talia knew, Vin going off on tour all the time was going to kill Ava, it was, and as much as it would kill Talia if she started going off working with him on tour, then at least she’d be happy with him.
“Tattoos..”
Talia was glancing at Rick now, who was scrolling on his phone with a frown,
“This is your work, isn’t it?”
Turning his phone to her, he’d brought up a photo, a photo of a piece of work she’d done a couple of weeks back and posted to the shop's instagram. Nodding,
“Yes, Inkfinity Tattoos, that’s us.”
And yes, that was one of her tattoos, but he’d be able to look that up now, the shop website had bios of each of the artists, including their pictures, saying what they specialise, and hers was right there on the website.
It took her a moment to realise when Ricky pulled his phone away, that he hadn’t brought up the shop's instagram to show her the photo. No, he’d opened his photo app. Ricky had saved a photo of one of the tattoos she’d drawn and tattooed, before they’d ever met.
Her eyes flew up from staring at his phone with the realisation, meeting his, no idea what to say with that. Shit.
Swallowing, so why was he still glaring at her, from the way he was looking at her you’d think that the discovery was the worst thing in the world.

Alright cocole brain rot is so bad so continuing this post with a part 2. Once again I will warn you the cut will have a lot of text
SO after their talent show fiasco and getting first together, everything was basically back to normal- outside of spending weekends together playing in Cole’s room. Not all good things can last though.. one night while they were hanging out together, Edega came in to inform Cole thanks to his recent good health and loss of addiction he would be discharged within a week. Cole was hard caught off by this but Edega left quickly without another word. Nicole jokes trying to lighten the mood that now he could visit that cafe whenever he wanted, only getting a half hearted fake laugh in return. They simply return to what they were doing but Cole is clearly off for the rest of the night.
The very next day, Cole stops by the cafe for his usual visit. While Nicole is fixing up his usual and making small talk, Cole cuts her off, asking if she could caffeinate his drink. Nicole pauses. She stops making the drink and takes a moment to process what he just asked, a bit flabbergasted. Cole asks again but gets shut down by Nicole that she has doctor’s orders not to give him caffeine here. Cole tries to sweet talk and joke like usual but Nicole is clearly on alert. Questioning if he was trying to get himself hurt, just to stay? They have a stare off until Cole relents and just asks for his usual. Things are only getting more tense between them.
The next day Cole doesn’t show up for his usual. Whatever, he’s probably off pouting about not getting caffeine. Around his usual time thought a couple walks in the cafe, reminiscent of Cole. They get orders but float off by the side of her register clearly waiting for a conversation. Not like she had anyone else to talk to so asked what was up. Quickly Nicole found out these two were Cole’s parents. Word of him being in a hospital 3 cities over didn’t reach them until a family friend saw the talent show performance. They obviously connected Nicole to him since she was with him and was the best person to ask about him since Cole was avoiding them.
Nicole was a bit shocked by this, she’d never hide from her own parents. Of course she asked why was he hiding and found out about him getting mad that parents kicked him out when he refused to get an actual job. They came here to check on him if he was okay and help him financially with the medical bills. Why would he avoid them when they just wanted to help him? They have been bailing him out all the way to 22 and even now are saving him from his mistakes. She would never run away from her own parents even when she went through something similar.
His parents had to leave the same day for their own jobs and requested Nicole talk to Cole for them if she had the chance. She agreed and they shortly left the cafe after. Once Nicole finished her shift, she trotted off to Cole’s locked room to speak to him. Cole asked who it was when she knocked and let her in relieved when he heard her voice. Nicole remained calm and faked ignorance when he let her in, simply curious out loud why his door was locked. Cole claimed he just had some weird fan who was stalking and so he was hiding out in his room, even joking and apologizing for not showing up that day.
The blatant lie to her face and how much he was disrespecting such caring parents got to Nicole. She cut through the usual small chitchat, angry, and demanded answers from Cole why he was avoiding his parents when they visited. Cole instantly got defensive- Simply telling her sternly that they kicked him out onto the street. Nicole shot back that they obviously just wanted the best for him, to go out and get some actual life experience. Cole asked if then she was on their side of making him quit music and of course Nicole said no. Cole’s hothead got the best of him, snarkly questioning her if she wanted him to be “safe” by giving up the talent she says he has just to work some dead end job like her.
Nicole froze but her face was painted with rage and disbelief. Cole immediately realized what he just said and tried to backtrack n apologize but Nicole was furious. She snapped back, saying maybe his parents were right, that he clearly was reckless and needed the tough love. “Sorry” that he was gonna end up another broke artist on the street wondering where he went wrong. Cole stood silently and stunned. Nicole huffed, slicking her hair back before stomping out and past Logan, Hailey and Samurai who came over from the yelling. Nicole didn’t know how to feel but she could not deal with him right now, going out to the balcony for a smoke after being clean for over a month.
Never had she gotten so mad at someone. Despite this, a slow feeling of guilt washed over her for what she said. She knows why he was acting like that, she had the same mentality when she had to quit music but she wasn’t so stubborn. She should go and apologize or at least have a more calm conversation with him. However after an hour of deliberation and doom scrolling Cole’s socials, when she went down to his room again it was being cleaned out by the janitor. Nothing of his was there anymore. Nicole asked where Cole was when Ada passed in the hall and awkwardly told Nicole he took his discharge early, mumbling about something like jumping train to another try.
Ada continued to talk to Nicole while she stood completely stone face for a few seconds but was confusedly cut off when Nicole broke off into a full sprint out of the front door. There’s only one train station out of Middlesea to other towns and Nicole was on the clock to get to it fast. It was late, maybe almost nearing midnight when a train would always show up to leave town but work exhaustion wasn’t gonna stop her. Cole meanwhile simply sat at the stop, counting the seconds and listening to music.
He felt no comfort in the noise. His doubts piled up and he ripped out his ear buds. How could he ever hope to live up to these artists when at most he wrote one song when they wrote 6. He’s selfish. Nicole was smarter to give in and he practically called her an idiot to her face. Why would his family ever take him back when the first question he’d ask would be if they had some spare change for the same music they heard a year ago. Guess he had to start over. Again.
The clicking of the train against tracks mirrored Nicole’s footsteps. The shrieking of the wheels signaled Cole to slowly sit up to uncertainty. The call of his name froze him in his march. Nicole was covered in sweat, breathing heavily and staggering toward Cole. (Time for sappy Dialogue ehe)
C: “..Nicole..? Why are you here..?”
N: “uff.. Cole.. I..”
Nicole grabs one of Cole’s hands and clasps it in both of hers.
N: “I can’t just stand by, Cole. You have so much talent I can’t let you lose it.”
C: “..What are so you saying?”
N: “What can I do to help you, Cole. D-do you need to have a place to stay? Help finding a job I can-“
Cole’s eyes spoke his words and disbelief she was helping him after what he said and did.
N: “..Cole.. I-I adore you. Your music is fantastic, you put up with my dumb work vents, and you managed to bring back the music in my life I lost years ago. I.. I love you and all the stupid things about you.”
Nicole averts her flushed face and begins to lose the clasp on his hand but his other tilts her head back to him. Cole smiles and hugs Nicole tight.
C: “..I love you too.”
Nicole quietly chuckles and hugs him back a bit in disbelief. Despite the guitar case on his back, Nicole could still feel Cole tearing up against her. Nicole is pulled closer by Cole and she buries her face into his hat.
eragh.. anyways. After this point Cole goes to Nicole’s apartment and they crash together, her having to leave him the next day since she still had work the next day but encouraged him to make himself comfortable in her apartment. (along with them being able to get some space apart to think some more) Once she was back from work they spent the night and the weekend talking over games and music of what to do now. Life decisions made over homemade decaf coffee and candy.
Nicole certainly wasn’t letting him out on the street again with no money but Cole didn’t wanna fall back on his parents again and restart his self destructing. And so the plan of him 1. Staying with her long term and 2. Getting himself hired at the cafe to get cash and make both their lives a bit easier. While they haven’t really said it outloud yet, there’s an air of mutual understanding they’re a couple now. No “real” dates yet though. A date for them can just be as much as binge watching a shitty comedy together while eating a bucket of icecream.
ok that’s all the cocole story iv got for now, they’re mostly just in the main story bg after this point in my mind. Might change later depending on what my brain thinks later but thnaks for reading my rot

Ik you just posted a Japan character sheet, but I'm wondering if you could do character sheet I for him as well, when you have the time!!
Love your work!! Take care of yourself.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Take care as well!
Yandere Charater Sheet I
1p! Japan - Kiku Honda
Tumblr media
Trigger warnings: suicide, death and killing of pets, murder, manipulation, torture
Attributes - What sort of Yandere is he/she?
Tumblr media
Kiku is a very strict yandere. This is partially because of his own personal adherence to Shintoism, partially because of his own experience of personal history. After all, he is an island adrift at sea, with him having to carve out a living with the little he had and hold the line against greater powers. To adapt when needed, to go on the offensive (even when it wasn’t wise or necessary). He is the sort to keep a very short leash on his emotions and impulses, but bottling up his emotions only makes them all the more potent when they bubble to the surface. 
In that sense, he is also capable of extreme passion and eccentric behaviour. Though, it is something that he only really indulges in behind closed curtains and in the dead of night. If somebody were to catch him, it would be premium blackmail material after all. It is in that vein that his obsessive tendencies for you develop. First it is just a flight of fancy that he might entertain, but as time passes, he begins to see more of you, the more he becomes enticed. However, you are the forbidden fruit, and making you a permanent fixture in his life would just invite some many problems. That doesn’t matter in the long run, however, since the more he tries to deny his feelings and the temptation, the harder he falls. For a time being, he’ll try being cold, to scare you away, because in the later stages of his turmoil, he’ll fear that the briefest skin-to-skin contact will make his resolve shatter. 
Though there will come a point where he’ll just give in to prevent his urges from spiralling out of control. And it would be in that stage that he’ll present his caring side. It could be simple things like asking if you’re alright, and what you did on the weekend, to playing doctor should you injure yourself. Naturally, it also extends to more creepy aspects, like installing a listening device in a painting that he’ll give you. Or to give you cook books, household manuals and more “exciting” literature with the intention of preparing you for your future role as his lover. 
You see, the other thing is that he is perfectly lucid about his unhealthy tendencies. While there would be periods in history, or general setting where he wouldn’t care about your finer feelings at all, the fact that your relationship isn't of the mutual, fulfilling sort would haunt him. Especially the factor of him losing control over his own person in some respect is very unsettling to him. Thus, he would seek to erect countermeasures. Like that you are only allowed to talk in positive terms about your relationship, present a united front and all that. Behind closed doors, you may be a bit more open and honest and sometimes a bit hostile, but never very and never often. Kiku also wants to fool himself a bit into thinking everything is alright, and he can only do that if you play along. 
On the flip side, that means that he'll also be indulging. The carrot and the stick, and he intends to make the rewards more incentivising than the punishments. Dates out in the countryside, nights in restaurants and afternoons in small jazz cafes, frequent tastes of the outside world, so that you have little reason to complain. A big house with a nice garden in the countryside is some
 small village where everybody knows everybody. Yet it would turn your prison into a gilded cage, with him always being just a stone's throw away. And ready to dole out punishments if you misbehave. 
Yes, there is also the stick. Perhaps he'll push or shove if he is particularly frustrated or angry, something that gets the message across but doesn't reduce him to being a wife beater. Generally, he doesn't take it well to be reminded of how things between you really are, and that will reflect in his punishments. To him, your "slip-ups" are stains on white cloth - while you can get the worst out usually, shades and other reminders will always remain. In that vein, all your mistakes will remain in mind and thus - the consequences can stretch out over a long period of time. Kiku has a very good memory, and he'll often and gladly remind you of that, so don't push your luck.
Cornering - How would they get you?
Tumblr media
It could go either one of two ways, or be a combination of both. The first one being the honey trap, where he presents himself from his best sides, advancing and retreating until he manages to strike the perfect balance to lure you in. To him, it would be like luring in a shy rabbit, and he would view you as just as helpless and cute. In the case your relationship has the chance to develop naturally, then the red flags wouldn’t be obvious and you would be inclined to brush off his more unusual or disturbing behaviour. Indeed, on the largest part, Kiku will make sure to hide his stalker tendencies, his controlling urges and his patronising sides from you. 
Or, the courtship will be of a more disturbing and toxic dynamic. Maybe he is a military conqueror, an invading nation, or a yakuza. Either way, the nature of the bond between you is marked by distaste and a gap in power from the offset and taints the rest of the relationship. The kid gloves are off, and he isn’t inclined to treat you niceless. With you being inferior to him, it is best that you dance to his tune, or else risk being disciplined. Following this scenario, he is also colder with you, more viewing you as a subject that needs to be moulded than a lover that should be catered to.  
Expectations - What do they expect of you?
Tumblr media
Cleanliness and orderliness, for one. He holds himself to high standards and expects you to do so as well, and not sweep through his domain like a typhon. Since actions reflect thoughts, and vice versa, he’ll slowly train you to be stringent in hygiene and order if you aren’t already up to his standards. In that he’ll be very strict. While he will acknowledge that rooting out deeply ingrained habits to be hard, he won’t see that as a reason to be lenient. People are most likely to change when pushed out of their comfort zone, thus he doesn’t see any reason to make the process comfortable for you. Besides, he can’t stand it when there is dirt or chaos in his living spaces, so it is something you'll be forced to indulge in.
Another trait that he would require of you is a meassure of independance. The last thing he wants is a partner that he would have to baby. Think for yourself and show some agency. Show that he can leave you only without worrying about you starving in front of a full fridge. Demonstrate that you aren't some pretty bauble that will sit on the couch the whole day unless prodded to do otherwise. Like any good owner, he wants his pet to impress him, but it would be best if you get the inclination to please and appease on your own without any of his input.
Also, you should have some sense of community and the selflessness that comes with it. Japan want to introduce you to his own tight circle of trusted friends and ensnare you in it. Having a social side means that you are also unlikely to simply tear away from him, and, if this trait is of a certain flavour, that you won't simply put yourself before him. And that he can make you channel the energy that you would otherwise use into getting away from him into organising and executing social events.
Be sweet. Compliment him and have an open ear. Sooth his worries and help him even when he isn't being explicit in his request for aid. Run him a warm bath at the end of the day and have his favourite meal prepared. Also, a touch of coyness is appreciated. Tease him playfully, be secretive and make him work for something, but don't deny. Silk hiding steel, in more ways than one. Because he wants you to be soft but not fragile; demure but not spineless. Be the sort to be sharp tongued but also diplomatic and not the sort to cuss. 
Also, he would be drawn to somebody who is decisive and knows what they want. When somebody asks you to choose, don't shrug your shoulders and keep quiet. Have your own goals in life that go beyond having a new car, a bigger office or a promotion. Have a plan. If you play along with his games, he might indulge you. Even if he does wind up crushing your dreams, it doesn't stop him from finding it attractive.
Faded - Would they let go of you in any way?
Tumblr media
In the beginning it would be very easy. He is still trying to keep a distance and avoid getting attached, so you have a lot of time to slip through his fingers. Move on, leave Japan, whatever place you're staying at when you meet him. While he'll still covet you, if you cut all ties, then that will fade as the weeks pass. While the pining and dreaming will remain, with your absence it will not grow to an overwhelming obsession. 
The other way to freedom is to win it through a wager or bet, one where the loopholes are nonexistent and therefore he would be forced to allow you to go scott free. Of course, he wouldn’t like this idea at all, so you would have to bring it up in a bet that he would be sure of winning. Even when you are gone, you’ll have to be careful, because he’ll do his very best to convince you to come back to him. Should you then return to Kiku, then you can be sure that he won’t fall for the same trick twice. 
Other than that, you could also slip away when his grip is lax, and if you run fast enough, then you might succeed. This would be most successful in the chaos of war or also political turmoil. Your trail would go cold fast, and he would have more pressing matters to deal with, if the situation is particularly tumultuous.
Punishment - How would they proceed if you do something they disapprove of?
Tumblr media
There is the pushing and shoving as mentioned earlier in the text - just a quick outlet for his frustration with a clear message brought across. Nobody harmed, except for a bruised ego.
Then there are the more serious punishments. Sensory deprivation is one of them - be it through numbing creams and solutions, blindfolds or ear muffs. Or by temporarily erasing your smell by making you inhale ammonia vapours. When the hallucinations kick in and the discomfort becomes too great, he'll still push you on. 
There are other things that seem innocuous on the surface but are anything but that. Like making you sit or stand for hours on end without changing positions. For that, he'll tie you down and leave you staring at a white wall. Or, he'll make you clean with bleach and ammonia without protection. Pick up ceramic or glass shards with your bare hands. Or find some mindless repetitive task for you to do the whole day for a week or two.
Other than that, he could fasten a VR set to your head to play horror films/games on it for a few hours. Subject you to flashing lights. Put you on partial anaesthesia. In general, things that you feel out of control of your circumstances because that is the point he wants to drive home - you are not in control of your life, he is.
Though, there are also the old fashioned punishments, that are far harsher. Like executing a friend or family member in front of you and making you watch. This is more designed to break you than anything else. Aside from that, he might make you kill your own pet and skin it. The whole time, he'll be hovering by your shoulder or standing in front of you while he forces you to do it.
Reaction - How would they react to you escaping?
Tumblr media
The first physical reaction would be his blood pressure rising and his heart seizing up in shock and panic. To him, you’re so fragile and naive, pure snow that would be so easily sullied if it comes into contact with contaminated influence. In that sense, he must rescue you before you become your own undoing. That is the part of him that makes him act fast and a bit chaotically. The emotions your escape evokes leads him to developing a tunnel vision, where regaining you becomes one of his top priorities. In the event that there are more important matters to settle, then he becomes unable to fully commit and concentrate himself on those affairs. Those close to him might utilise this as a chance to track you, capture you and hand you back to him in order to gain a favour or two. 
Should he be allowed to run wild, then he’ll first scour every millimetre of your shared living space to make sure you aren’t hiding somewhere, or if you have left any clues to your whereabouts. Finding something, anything that can hint on what you’ve done or where you’ve gone can help him. With that in mind, he’ll set out to search your frequent haunts and ask a few subtle questions to coax information out of people that could know where you’ve gone. Who knows, maybe he’ll up the whole game and put out a missing person announcement and force you to play along with it all. The consequences of your disobedience would be the deaths of family and friends, public humiliation on their part, or loss of credibility on your part. Generally, his word will carry more weight than yours, so he’ll be able to silence you quickly should you get mouthy. 
Though, he’ll also be furious about your flight, so you’ll have to accept punishments, and that is a category where he can be especially creative. The anger would help him laser focus on the task of bringing you back home and will colour every interaction he’ll have with you for months after your return. In total, he’ll be frightened about you not being at his side and furious about the notions that led to the situation in the first place and wouldn’t shy away from reminding you about that for the longest time. 
Turnabout - Scenario: You have the upper hand? What would be different from their usual MO? 
Tumblr media
Kiku would elect to keep his lips sealed about his discomfort. Sometimes, it isn’t even about having the subjectively having more power in any given moment, but about controlling certain variables. In that case, perhaps he’ll weasel himself into a position where he can steer you into doing what he wants. It is not impossible, since you can't second guess every single one of his actions. Not to forget - it is not as if either of your objects or goals are diametrically opposed; sometimes they compliment each other. As such, doing what he wants can be beneficial to both of you. 
Likewise, not every action you undertake could or will hurt him; sometimes you might have the intention of hurting but unwittingly do the opposite. 
Generally though, he'll be playing it all by ear. As soon as you think you are in total control and that you have nothing to worry about, then you'll be the most vulnerable. Though, if you are so gullible and arrogant to believe yourself untouchable, then he'll be happy to humour you. Perhaps he'll grow to like the changed roles, particularly if it allows him constant access to you. If that isn't the case, then he'll bend as the situation demands and when the opportune moment arrives, turn the tables once again. 
Vengeance - What would they do in the face of competition? 
Tumblr media
As much as having competition makes his blood boil, he doesn't want to go overboard. After all, since so many of those vying for you are only minor threats, they are only annoying and don't warrant a strong response. Since oversized fly swatters would draw too much attention, he'll just settle for harsh glares and sharp words. If that doesn't help, then consequences in the form of demotions and public shaming. Perhaps he'll even ruin a marriage or family, or two. 
If that doesn't work, then he'll have to turn to more drastic methods, maybe even give the person(s) in question a good talking two. Humans can be so fragile, especially when isolated. Having your ties to the world cut and your points of stability shattered is agonising, so much so that some decide to end it all with a … jump.
Of course, there are times when his more possessive tendencies kick in. Should he be able to get away with it easily, then decapitation and the severing of limbs will happen much earlier. Though, if he has to keep legal boundaries in mind, then he'll exercise more restraint. Outright killing leaves too much evidence so how about being buried alive? Or drowning while being weighed down with lead weights. It could also be an accident, like being stuck in a house fire, or losing your footing while mountaineering and falling to your death.

Im back sorry
More thoughts I had
1. Could the gangles fight off the npcs if they absolutely had to go outside?
1.5. What about that buff gangle from a few asks ago?
2. What about if they all had to go outside? Would they fare any better as a group?
3. Also what do the outside npcs do to circus members if they go outside anyways?
3. Is the eclipse permanent, does it have a cycle of light and dark, or is it a rare occurrence?
4. Does Caine control the npcs thoughts?
5. Do the sun&moon do anything to circus members that wander outside, or is that left to the ground npcs?
6. Would the npcs hurt Caine if he went outside?
7. Is there a cafe that Caine and bubble and npcs can go to like we saw in the pilot?
8. What would happen if gangle abstracted (if this has been asked before I'm sorry)?
9. Would ai-gangle decapitate her?
9.5. Would zooble steal the severed parts?
10. If kinger COULD get angry (like the triggers for the other members that you mentioned a while ago), what would be his trigger?
10.5. Same question for pomni
11. I like how pomni is clean and has no blood or faded colors on her. Will this change as time goes on?
12. Are the sun and the moon melted together, or are they separate entities?
Man this au is good
Have a good day, friend!
Great heavens that’s a lot of questions
..no. She’s not that strong
..maybe/j
They could, in fact it’s almost recommended you go in groups.. problem is they’re not the greatest at voluntary teamwork
They bombarded them with questions/JJJJ
It has a cycle
Nah.. he’s an npc himself but he can’t control what they do or how their code works himself
They will stare at you and make pained noises.. though actually it’s more of a pair of eyes, if it can see you then the audience knows exactly where you are at all times, avoid them and you’ll be invisible
No.. even if they tried nothings stopping them from despawning them.. he can’t control them but he can control where they are
Yeah
It has but essentially the ai would detatch and tell Caine
..they can’t, the both of them are needed for that, thus why it even convinces gangle to do it in the first place
In the event all the above was possible.. yeah. Though it’s hard to use a bunch of ribbon as a structurally sound body part
Talking shit about his wife infront of him
I dunno, she’s meant to be the player so I’m unsure
Maybe… likely

Hello darling! Can i request a yan! Taiju Shiba x reader when she rejects him because she's too scared of him, and she has every right to be? Thanks if you do. <3
Taiju's birthday was spent watching youtube, cleaning and redecorating (shuffling around my standees to make way for new ones) - it was a nice break :)
Masterlist
Ah but you see, does it really matter if you're scared of him though? Doesn't seem like a him-problem, more like a you-problem, at least to Taiju. If he thinks that you were and will be his perfect lil god-sent wife, then he's not really giving you a choice or say in being in a relationship with him, let alone outright reject his advances.
Getting together with him is not even a question in fact once you somehow unknowingly snagged Taiju's attention of all people. He's not the sort to fall in love at first sight, but you caught his eye by accident one day, and it just kinda spiraled from there. And you have every right to be afraid certainly, because this boy is absolutely blaming you for living in his head rent-free. Can't stop thinking about you no matter how hard he tries, but at the same time can't quite understand why he's this angry over what you're doing, even more so watching you laugh with other boys from a distance while he's stalking you to "figure out how to stop thinking about you". When was the last time he got angry over some nobody and what they did?
Being confronted out of the blue and accused by the very large, very intimidating Tenth Generation President of the Black Dragons gang is almost enough to relieve you of your soul, and you swore you saw your life flash before you when this delinquent you have never met before starts grilling you on questions you have no answer to. How could you possibly know why he can't stop thinking about you?
Nonetheless, you are basically immediately cut off from everyone else around you after Taiju declares that you and him are now dating on the spot. You don't even know his name, but here you are being dragged by your wrist out against your will - and no one's going to stand up against this force of nature even if you called out for help. Thought you got rid of him when he tells you to go ahead without him? Nope, Taiju's there waiting for you outside your house to walk you to school. And he's also there after school to pick you up. And actually he's also there during school, having invited himself to attend your class.
You start getting dragged wherever Taiju goes, not because he doesn't trust you to try and leg it (you have tried, and got caught fairly easily), but because god only knows he trusts someone as small and fragile as you to be able to take care of yourself. Sure sometimes he squeezes your hand and wrist a bit too hard and leave a bruise (in his own defense, you're just weaker and more delicate than a normal person), and sometimes you cry when he gives you a tongue lashing about wandering off, but who else would be better at protecting you than him? Even the Black Dragons very quickly learn that you aren't to be messed with when Taiju breaks several legs in a fit of anger when they had the gall to ask you if you were lost after you turn up as instructed outside his house earlier than expected.
This boy does start trying to get to know you better though - learns your favorite foods and cafes and spots, enough to scare away anyone who dare to try and occupy your favorite bench at the park before taking you there for a date after school. Even learns how to cook so that he can make you nutritious food when he's not breathing down your neck in class or ready to jump the teacher for correcting you, much to the horror of his siblings. Does expect you to recount every minute of time that you're apart from him though, so hope you have a good memory.
Ultimately, Taiju definitely doesn't care if you're scared of him or not - if he says you're his, then you'll do well to respect that.

Hello hello! I did some thinking and I was wondering if you could write a scenario where you're out on a date with your boyfriend but he is a big jerk. You decide enough is enough and you dump him. Meanwhile, an XDH member saw the whole encounter and now sees you sitting alone, crying. Do they approach you??? Hmmm???
Thank you for all your hard work! Have a good day, night, afternoon, or whatever part of day it is for you :))
Here's your request! I hope I wrote it to your liking. Have a great day/night as well :)
All members -[+_+]-
Summary: Xdinary Heroes witnessed you dumping your douche boyfriend. Normally they would mind their business, but how could they walk away when they notice you crying?
WC:~1.6k
Warning:grammar
Tumblr media
photo not mine credits to owner.
Gunil
“If you’re so insecure that I can’t even look in the direction of another male without accusing me of being unfaithful then let’s just break up,” you harshly told your, very soon to be, ex-boyfriend. He was always like this, very quick to accuse of being unfaithful at the slightest mention or interaction with another guy. You’ve finally had enough.
“Fine you were a horrible girlfriend anyway,” he spat at you before walking away.
It was not on Gunil’s itinerary to witness a breakup today, but the two of you were arguing right outside of the door to the building he was going to, so it couldn’t be helped. Gunil was awkwardly waiting for you to move away from the door when he heard you sniffle and then your hands came up to wipe away your tears. The sight pulled on his heartstrings. That dude seemed like a complete jerk, you shouldn’t be crying over him. He pulled out a napkin that had been in his pocket and approached you. 
“Here,” Gunil said gently, holding the napkin out to you with a kind smile. Your eyes traveled from the outreached napkin to his face.
“Thank you,” you said timidly, grabbing the napkin from him. 
“I know I don’t really know anything, but he seemed like a real jerk. He doesn’t deserve your tears,” Gunil told you before finally entering the building. Gunil took one last peak at you from the window. It didn’t look like you were crying anymore. You just so happened to turn around and caught his gaze you smiled and nodded your head in appreciation. Gunil nodded back.
Jungsu
It seems like time is against Jungsu today. First, he overslept. Second, he missed the bus. Third, the elevator is broken and now he has run up ten flights of stairs. If those three things weren’t enough now a couple is fighting in the middle of the staircase. He feels too awkward to interrupted and there’s not enough space for him to sneak by, so instead he waits awkwardly around the corner of the proceeding flight.
“I’m not stupid enough for your bull excuses. I know that you're cheating on me!” Your angry voice rang through the staircase.
“She came onto me I swear!” Your boyfriend shouts.
“You didn’t push her away,” you stated coldly
“I-” he began.
“Forget I’m tired of all this. I'm done with this relationship. We’re through,” it’s the calmness in your voice that made it scary. Jungsu took the dude angrily storming past him as his cue to finally continue going up the stairs. Alas things still weren’t simple because now he is met with the sight of you crying on the stairs. He debates just scurrying past you, but his kind heart cares too much. 
“You’re better off without him,” Jungsu speaks cautiously. You lift your head at the sound of his voice.
“Thanks, I know it’s just really frustrating,” you laughed. “Sorry you had to witness that,” you apologized feeling bad for the poor stranger. 
“It’s alright..uh enjoy being free from him,” Jungsu tells you, beginning to make his way up the stairs once again.
“I will,” you told him, standing up to head down the stairs. 
Gaon/Jiseok
“I do so many things for you and you can’t do one simple thing for me?” You exclaimed at your pathetic excuse of a boyfriend. 
Maybe now isn’t the best time for coffee. Jiseok thinks after walking into a cafe at a clearly inconvenient time. Still he makes his way over the counter to order trying to mind his business. Although that’s hard since you and your boyfriends’ argument is the main source of sound in the quaint cafe. Jiseok can only awkwardly stand there as he waits for his coffee to be ready. The time it takes for his coffee to be ready is enough time for you and your boyfriend to break up, you to yank off your couple necklace, he storms out of the cafe and you’re left crying. Jiseok feels bad, he doesn’t even know you, but he could tell that your now ex definitely didn’t treat you right and that makes him sad. Jiseok doesn’t know what to do, just carry on with his day, he supposes. However his feet are seemingly stuck to the floor and won’t let him just carry on. Rather, he’s now buying you a cookie. He walks over to where you’re sitting and slides the cookie on a napkin in front of you.
“Sweets help you better when you’re sad,” he states inopportunely. Just as he begins to make his way out of the cafe.
“Wait!” You called him. Jiseok turns back to look at you.
“Thanks,” you told him.
“No problem,” he returns and finally he can carry on with his day.
O.de/Seungmin
Seungmin was on his way home after a long day at work. All he wanted to do was have dinner, take a shower and go to bed. He was currently grabbing a quick dinner from a street vendor when he heard a voice shout. 
“You really are just a self centered conceited jerk. I’m done with you!” You ended things with your douche boyfriend. You couldn't keep the tears from spilling out of your eyes. 
Yes, maybe it was a bit nosy, but Seungmin let curiosity get the better of him. He looks in the direction of the shout, seeing who he presumed to be your now ex walking away and you now sitting on the curb with your head buried in your hands. Seungmin regrets looking because he can’t just leave you there crying. Going home would have to wait a little longer. He finishes his food and makes his way over to where you're sitting. 
“A self centered conceited jerk doesn’t deserve your tears,” Seungmin makes his presence known beside you. You jumped slightly at his voice and quickly whipped your tears, turning to look at him. Seungmin sits down beside you and hands you a tissue.
“Thank you,” you said, tentatively taking the tissue from his hand. The two of you sit there for a bit, while you collect yourself and somehow it isn’t awkward.
“You don’t have to sit here with me, I'm sure you have somewhere else to be,” you finally said.
“Are you sure you can get home ok? I can call you a cab?” He offers.
“I live nearby, it's ok. Thank you though,” you told him, standing up he mirrors your action. Then the two of you parted ways.
Junhan/Hyeongjun
Hyeongjun and his friend were out at a restaurant having lunch together. Everything was ordinary until the couple at the next table over started arguing.
“How could you just flirt with other girls right in front of me?” You yelled at your boyfriend.
“They were pretty,” he replied like it was nothing. You scoffed.
“Then we’re done,” you matched his tone.
“Fine, there’s nothing special about you anyway,” your ex gave one final blow before walking out of the restaurant. Hyeongjun tried to turn his attention back to the food in front of him.
“They’re crying,” his friend spoke sympathetically, bringing his attention back to you. You were indeed crying and he felt bad for you. 
“Let’s pay for their table,” Hyeongjun said. He didn’t have the guts to actually approach and try to comfort you, but he wanted to do something nice for you. He and his friend flagged down a waiter and told them that they would pay for your expenses. The waiter agreed and let them pay your bill. After that Hyeongjun and his friend went back to eating their lunch. 
You finally collected yourself and went to pay for your food when you were informed that it was already paid for. You asked if you could know who paid for it. The waiter answered you with their eyes as they shifted them over to Hyeonjun’s table. You felt grateful towards them, but also lacked the guts to actually go up and thank him. Instead you grabbed a napkin and a pen from your bag. You wrote out the words “Thank you” on it and asked the waiter to give it to them.
Jooyeon
Jooyeon was still trying to process the scene that he had just witnessed. He simply just wanted to take a relaxing evening stroll in the park, but that was too much to ask for apparently.
“I know that she’s clearly not just a co-worker of yours, don’t give me that crap!” You lividly shouted.
“If you know so much then why are you even asking me?” Your boyfriend shouts back.
“I just want you to be honest with me,” you told him tiredly.
“Ok. Fine. You want honesty? Here, I only got together with you cause I thought you were hot, but if I’d known that you were gonna turn into such a hassle, I wouldn’t have ever bothered,” he stated.
“Then I’ll stop being a bother. Let’s break up. Go run to your co-worker,” you told him, eyes shooting daggers.
“Gladly,” your freshly turned ex walks away. You didn’t even bother walking over to a bench, you just sat down on the grass and let your tears flow. 
It was like a dramatic breakup scene from a movie, but it was real life and now there’s no cut scene. Only Jooyeon who’s left standing there thinking about if he should just go home or attempt to comfort you somehow. He might regret this he thinks as his feet carry him over to your crying form.
“A dude like that doesn’t deserve to be cried over,” Jooyeon says, causing you to look up at him. 
“You saw that whole thing? Sorry,” you apologized. Jooyeon sits down next to you.
“Don’t be sorry. He’s the one who should be sorry,” Jooyeon tells you.
“Thanks,” you replied. The conversation was a bit awkward, but it still made you feel better.

Please Don't Hate Christmas (Visual Novel)
Created by: rice love coffee
Genre: Otome/Horror
This one is actually something that was translated from Chinese so the translations might be a bit wonky at times. Still, the concept itself is pretty interesting and the characters are all very pretty, especially the MC herself and Albert. It is very Christmas themed, so it would be the best game to play around that time. There is a full version that will be released with voice acting and extra content coming soon, so keep an eye on that as well.
The story begins with Molly, a girl who seems to be a workaholic. She gets a text from her childhood friend, Albert Claus, inviting her to come visit him on Snowflake Island. She goes to her boss, who begs her to stay, citing that she hasn't taken off in three years. Frustrated, she ends up quitting and going to meet Albert on Snowflake Island. She happily texts him and while on the train there, reads about the traditions there, namely about a Christmas butcher that appeared years ago and terrorized everyone on the night of Christmas. She also mentions that she was adopted after her parents got into an accident, and unfortunately after her adoptive parents got into another accident, she left the island in search of a job.
Upon reaching the island, she's greeted by a very happy Albert, who tells her how much he missed her. We find out that Albert became the leader/mayor of Snowflake Island and is in charge of everything. He leads Molly to an old cafe where her adopted parents used to work, and asks if Molly would want to work there instead. We get a flashback about how the two met, how Albert hated Christmas and tried to take it out on Molly. She ended up pushing him over and giving him chocolate milk as an apology. Albert seems sad that Molly reserved a space at the hotel without telling him and coincidentally on the same day, it turns out the hotel is out of space. Albert ends up inviting Molly to stay at his place. At night, Molly sees a Christmas hat outside, and starts to think of the rumor of the butcher that appeared on Christmas night. Albert comes in and hangs out with Molly, drinking chocolate milk like they did when they were kids. Albert talks about how he wanted to keep Snowflake Island nice for Molly so she wouldn't be afraid of coming back.
The next day, Molly goes to a bunch of different places to visit: first a graveyard to pay respects to her adoptive parents. She gets a flashback to how she lost her adoptive parents, while trying to pick up a doll, they ended up in a car accident. At the funeral, Albert defends Molly as the gossip continues. As she cries, Albert comes to comfort her at the graveyard. She ends up going to the shopping street next and asks the people there about her aunt and uncle. They answer a bit awkwardly and Molly suspects something is going on. Finally, she visits the school where she meets Sharon, a classmate who ended up being a teacher on Snowflake Island and talks about hanging out and her ex, Paul.
When Molly returns to tell Albert about hanging out with Shanon, he gets possessive, though he allows her to go and hang out with Shanon. There, she gets drugged and dragged into the basement and encountered with a very angry Shanon. As it turns out Paul was banished from Snowflake Island after bullying Molly, and reveals that anyone who tries to hurt Molly gets attacked and that it's all caused by Albert. Molly steps up and tells her that she deserved it and that whatever Albert did seems to be justified. As they attempt to harass Molly, Albert comes in to bash them in the head with a bat. Albert revealed that he cleaned up everyone's bullying attempt, thus why Molly doesn't remember a thing. Albert gets stabbed and in response, Molly seemingly destroys them and killing Shannon . Albert drugs Molly to calm her down and brings her back into the house. Albert and Molly confess to each other, and the two end up dating. She ends up bumping into Albert's older brother Liam in the house, whom has recently been married to one of the maids, Aethra. Aethra mentions a peculiar scent that Molly has. While Albert is out and about, Molly decides to go and find a gift for Albert, She goes to the library to find out more about the island. She is handed a book by a high school student about a legend of Snowflake Island. Originally, the island was called Mami island and it was filled with mermaids. A business man who was on the island was rescued by the mermaid and fell in love with her, leading to them having a child. The businessman rebuilt the island, but eventually someone came to attack the mermaids on it, leading to the business man losing his life. The mermaid vowed to take revenge soon after. She goes to visit the school and then to find a gift for Albert.
Upon going back, Molly is able to find a secret room in Albert's room, leading to a weird facility location. She is able to view the video of her killing Shanon, learning that she is actually the Christmas Butcher. Albert drugs her to prevent her from going on another killing spree, but after waking up, Molly is still able to remember and freaks out. Albert promises to protect her and essentially locks her in the house to prevent her from leaving/hurting others. While crying in Albert's room, she comes across a diary that she reads.
The diary accounts from when Molly and Albert were high schoolers. While going home, she overhears her foster parents talking about how annoying she is and their plan to get insurance money. She finds out they killed her parents and burned down their cafe, which leads to Molly killing them. Albert comes in to calm her down (realizing that she's from the mermaid family) and having his blood licked calms her down. We learn that decedents of Mermaids will go berserk if they see their beloved ones hurt or killed, unless they consume the blood of the Claus's family which helps them calm down. We also learn that The Claus family cannot leave the island until they become adults or they will be killed. Albert ends up sending her out to learn design so she won't hurt others on the island, but constantly tracks her so she doesn't go berserk.
Molly cries after finding out just how much Albert loves her and fights her inner mermaid berserker rage. She attempts to kill herself, but Albert stops her. The two of them confess to each other and apparently to break the curse the two have to have sex with each other while madly in love, they have sex. The two continue to be lovey dovey, and in the epilogue, we find out the high school student seems to be a god who has been trying to lift the curses.
In the good ending, Molly doesn't read the diary and doesn't learn about her bloodline. The two continue to date, with Molly slowly losing her memory and becoming foggy while Albert becomes anemic because of all of the blood that he's been giving her.
There are two bad endings, one where Molly continues to work and never goes to Snowflake Island and another where she follows the footsteps and gets killed.
I actually played the demo of this game before the full game came out, so I was pretty surprised at where the story ended up going. The entire game seems to be Christmas themed, so I was really surprised when they started adding things like mermaid bloodline to everything. It's not really bad, I just didn't expect it, I suppose. The story itself is pretty interesting though, with Molly going berserk and Albert tracking her throughout her life so that she won't cause too many problems all because he loves her. I didn't expect to find out that her parents were killed by some doochey foster parents that tried to take their parent's insurance money and thought it was actually Albert who killed them (because yandere shenanigan's). Overall their relationship is very sweet, with Molly being unknowingly taken care of by Albert, with him not only taking care of all those that bully her, but also preventing her from killing (well, mostly at least) by drugging her with his own blood, even at the expense of his own health and even sending her out discover the world. All because Molly gave her hot chocolate when he was sad that one time when he was a kid. Very much a yandere story. It sort of loses (?) it's Christmas theming after the beginning section, since then it focuses a lot more on the lore with Mami island and the mermaids, but I don't think it's too distracting.
Molly as a character is pretty interesting, because in the demo, when she first suddenly starting killing Shanon, I was totally confused what was going on, since that was not the turn that I was expecting. It does make sense in retrospect that she is the Christmas Butcher considering she does seem to actually kill people, but no one is able to prove it as Albert is the one who runs the entire island and that she herself doesn't remember killing them thanks to Albert's drugging. Her design is also pretty cute, all things considering, and I like her relationship with Albert as it's mostly a childhood friend story yandere, all with Albert attempting to protect her from the world and herself. I still think it's funny that the solution to the curse is to literally have sex with someone you love from the Claus family (like this is an ACTUAL important part in the plot, and this isn't even an r18 game), though I'm glad it worked out for both of them.
Albert as a yandere is surprisingly not as villainous as I initially thought. In the demo, it comes across as him being really suspicious considering he basically runs the entire island, bought her a new cafe after her old one burned down and was oddly possessive of her. He doesn't lose this possessiveness, but it did feel like he was constantly keeping secrets from Molly, preventing her from going places, or making sure that she didn't talk to people. We find out that he does have good intentions for doing so, since she does end up getting kidnapped by Shannon and going berserk, but it's hard to feel not villainous when you're restricting someone's freedom like that. As a yandere, I'd say he's mostly very overprotective, getting rid of people who might hurt her, drugging her to keep her from going berserk and just constantly monitoring her. He's also very possessive over her, which we see multiple times, both before and after she finds out that she's a mermaid descendent. Of course, it's not as if he hasn't caused his fair share of problems, making Shannon and whoever get angry enough to try to kidnap and kill Molly for all the things he did for her.
Still, that being said, there are still a lot of mysteries to this island, like the butcher ending when Molly is killed by what seems to be another person or creature, and possibly what's going on with Liam and Aethra. The creator indicates there will be other stories on this island, and new content on the steam version, which is pretty exciting. The artwork and UI are extremely pretty and it's very well made. I'm happy to play a full length type yandere game as well, and it's pretty exciting to see more content from yandere creators.
Overall, it's a fun game. I get to say SNOWFLAKE ISLAND like a bajillion times, and the story itself is pretty nice with a very interesting concept. If you enjoy it, please play it.
