You've been reblogging more stuff about female characters getting ignored by fandoms recently and I would be really curious to hear your full views on the topic.
The thing is that... look. I get it. Many fandoms do not have very many women in their canon, many of those women are treated pretty poorly by the canon or aren't given as much depth as their male peers, and if you're at all picky the pickings are kind of slim (I would love to be a fan of c!Niki, if I were able to watch six-hour vods, which I am not). It is not wrong that most works with large fandoms are really, really sexist, and the problem is not just in the fanbase!
But come the fuck on. It is not an accident that the DSMP and the MCU and BNHA, all of which are vast-majority male and the female characters are treated terribly, are megafandoms, and Revolutionary Girl Utena is eligible for yuletide. It is not wrong that if you want to see more female-character-focused fanwork you should go to Sailor Moon and not The Untamed, but it is also kind of missing the point to say that and not look at the difference in size between those fandoms. People can say "it's because the male characters are so often more interesting and have more meaningful interactions," and like, sometimes that's even true, I will be the first to tell you that quackbur has more to it than tinarose, but please compare the Clint/Coulson tag to the Utena/Anthy tag and look me in the eye and tell me that's the only thing driving the trend. With a straight face.
And even more there's a thing where— so, I was a mod in the @ao3topshipsbracket bracket. And femslash ships, once they were in the bracket, did really well. Like, absurdly well, like 80% of the f/f ships entered got to the top 16, and the last one was against blackbonnet which was never gonna lose in round 1. You might notice something about that number, though, which is that there were only five of them entered total, because people love to vote for femslash but they absolutely will not write it. And they won't say anything about it either! I was watching the activity feed the entire tournament, and I can tell you, for all of the "let's go lesbians" that populated our notes, nobody would say anything that was actually about the specific characters who made up their ship. I learned a lot about Naruto fandom, modding that bracket; I still know nothing about CW Supergirl, because the only thing anyone would say about it is "it has women in it". Because women are interchangeable. Because women are avatars of Being A Good Feminist. Because clicking a button is easy, and actually thinking about any specific woman and her traits and her internality is hard.
The thing is that guilt over misogyny does not actually fix misogyny. It gets you a lot of people who vote for women in polls, and who say "he's like a woman to me" about their male faves but notably don't have any canonically female characters they talk about, and who say that the only thing they care about in a fic is if it has women in it but will not ever actually say anything about any specific woman, and who never shut up about yuri but apparently yuri is everything and anything except women who have feelings about one another.
I'm tired! I'm very tired. I want people to actually give a shit about specific women and their specific traits, which do not begin and end with "woman". And, also, to stop treating women exclusively as the wingmen, advice-givers, mom figures, and accessories of men.

Tumblr media
Niki knelt down, his fingertips brushing against the grass. The wind blew his blonde hair across his face, his eyes narrowing down at the open water below him. Searching for any clue. 
Jake suddenly appeared beside him, his arm resting on Niki’s shoulder. 
“Find anything yet?” His Aussie accent rushed out. 
Niki nodded, “Yeah, a whole lot of nothing still.” 
Jake sighed, “Keep searching, the entrance has to be here somewhere.” 
Niki stared at his hyung, seeing the desperation on his face to find his mate. 
“I need to find her…” Jake whispered. 
Niki rubbed Jake’s back, “I know hyung, I know.” 
Niki understood how Jake was feeling, obviously not to the same degree, but still understood. 
That hole of having __ and __ being gone hit all of them. The only difference is Niki and the others don’t feel the pain that Jake and Sunghoon feel. There’s a pinch of something, but it doesn’t affect anything else. 
The worst part of all this was Niki couldn’t help but feel disconnected from everything that was happening. 
He wanted to get the girls back just as much as everyone else, but he also felt like this was major bullshit. 
Maybe it was because Niki didn’t believe in soulmates. 
Not like there were a lot of seventeen-year-old forever vampires anyway. 
A girl is the whole reason Niki ended up as this undead being in the first place. 
It was the day before Niki’s birthday. Snow was falling from the sky, it was the perfect day to confess his feelings. It was his first-ever crush. Walked her home from school that day and was attacked in broad daylight. 
Niki survived, she didn’t. 
The vampire venom spread through Niki’s body way too quickly, turning him into a monster. 
The first thirty years were hell. Niki couldn’t control his blood thirst and killed multiple people in the process. 
It wasn’t until another thirty years before Heeseung and Jay found him. He was on the hunt for human blood, the previous human blood stained on his clothes, face, and down his neck. Niki ran into the two of them on his way into the town. 
Heeseung could feel the bloodlust and Niki felt like he was in danger. The only vampires Niki ever encountered were the ones that almost killed him, and the ones he’s had to fight just to get a bite in. Heeseung could sense Niki was terrified, mostly because of how he looked. 
Vampires usually don’t like being exposed, and Niki was terrified his time was up. Heeseung and Jay would kill him, tear him to pieces, and burn his body.  
“It’s okay…” Heeseung whispered, “I can see what you’re thinking, it’s all over your face.” 
Niki backed away, holding a hand up, “Nah, don’t you fucking come near me.” 
And man did it take Heeseung and Jay a lot of time to talk Niki into calming down. Eventually, they adopted him into their pack. 
Niki remembers walking into the safe house for the first time, seeing four other faces stare at him, but welcoming him nonetheless. 
It was the first time Niki felt at home since he was turned. 
And hundreds of years later here he is. Fighting to protect an even bigger family. Even if he doesn’t believe in a lot that’s going on. 
Again, there aren’t many other vampires stuck in their teens anyway. The possibility of Niki even finding a soulmate (if they even exist), is very slim. 
“We need to go,” Jake sighed and snapped Niki out of the past memories.
Niki nodded, standing tall beside his hyung. 
Jake was holding back his emotions, Niki could feel it. That bond tugged hard. 
“Hyung, we will get __ back.” Niki reassured him, “Once we find where his entrance is and when __ can produce a stronger masking of our scent with her elf magic, the easier it’ll be to get in.” 
Jake nodded, rolling his eyes, “Aren’t I the one that should be comforting you? I’m the older one.” Jake chuckled, draping his arm around the younger’s neck, “Come on, let’s go.” 
Niki spun the soccer ball on his fingertips, tossing it up to the ceiling, spinning, tossing it again, and spinning. 
He was sprawled out on the couch, mind in a faraway place. 
The front door opened, and the sound of bags dropping to the floor and shoes being kicked off echoed in the apartment. 
Niki leaned his head over the armrest of the couch, “Welcome home hyung.” 
Heeseung glances down at the maknae, “Don’t you have your own home?” 
Niki sat up, spinning the soccer ball in his hands, “I mean, yeah.” 
Heeseung sat at the kitchen table, sliding out of his doctor's coat, “Don’t you have school tomorrow? I’ll have Sunoo come pick you up.” 
“Hyung no!” Niki pouted. 
Heeseung raised a brow, noticing a duffle bag sitting in the corner by the couch. 
“Niki..” 
“Heeseung, they annoy me.” 
Heeseung let out a small chuckle, “Yeah?” 
“It was fine when it was just me and Sunoo, but after __ moved in…” 
Heeseung sighed, he knew why Niki wanted to be here. Heeseung knew of Niki’s history and how it all took place, being around a cute cuddly couple probably isn’t his favorite thing in the world right now. 
There’s enough on his plate with unfortunately attending high school again, dealing with the major loss the pack has taken, on top of his roommate's mate moving in. The kid has a lot going on. 
“Plus, you’re here alone, so I am here to keep you company.” Niki smiled, trying to win his hyung over by acting cute. 
Heeseung wasn’t buying it. 
“Hyung, you’re my legal guardian anyways. This would just make it easier.” 
Heeseung knew Niki had a point. The only problem Heeseung worried about was Niki being alone. 
Heeseung always had to be at the hospital, and when he wasn’t, he was searching with the others to find the entrance to where Dorian was hiding. Niki didn’t always attend the search parties, so if he wasn’t at soccer practice, he would be at home by himself. 
Niki continued to pout until Heeseung gave in. 
“Fine, but nothing changes, you’re still attending school.” 
Niki didn’t like the school idea but was happy to stay with Heeseung either way. 
Niki dropped his head into his palm, staring off out the window. 
His classmates all talked amongst themselves about the latest trends and the soccer games coming up. 
Niki tuned out the noise, ready to just get the hell out of here. 
Niki knew his classmates gossiped about him, about how he always kept to himself unless spoken to. how he is really good at soccer and thinks he’s “the king” or something. They even make fun of his brothers, and that’s one thing Niki has to bite his tongue on. 
Niki didn’t see the point in trying to make friends at these schools. Niki will continue living an immortal life and losing friends along the way, so it’s best to not make any. 
Get in and get out as Jay would put it. 
There wasn’t any point to any of it no matter what, he’d just change schools again once he graduated or if his family moved again. 
“Okay class, settle down!” The homeroom teacher yells, the room of teenagers quieting down. “We have a new student joining us today.” 
Niki slightly glanced over to the entrance to the classroom, curious to see the new student just as much as the next person. 
Niki slowly lifted his head from his palm, lips parted and eyes slightly widened. 
You stood at the front of the class, glancing around at your new peers, eyes connecting with Niki’s. 
You were a vampire. Niki couldn’t believe it. Another vampire that was his age and just so happened to be in the same class as him? 
What are the odds? 
You introduced yourself to the class and then waited for the teacher to assign you to an open seat. 
You kept eye contact with the blonde vampire in the back of the class as you walked to your seat. 
Your new classmates already seemed to take notice, their whispers being “Do they know each other?”, “she’s the first girl that has gotten Nishimura’s attention”, “They have to know each other, there is no way.” 
You finally broke eye contact once you sat in your seat, looking amongst the teenagers around you, wondering how mortals can care so much about things that shouldn’t matter. 
Niki looked back out the window, once again dropping his head into his palm. 
Niki could feel your gaze on him throughout the school day. He couldn’t help but wonder if you too have struggled to find other vampires the same age. 
During lunch, Niki made it a mission to find you. 
You sat on the floor in between two bookcases in the library, eyes closed and earbuds blasting music into your eardrums.
A slight tap came to your shoulder, you opened your eyes and looked up, seeing Niki standing beside you. 
You pulled your earbuds out, raising an eyebrow at him, “Yes?” 
“Uhh…” Niki didn’t think this far. He pushed his hair back, looking at the other bookshelf in front of you, “Mind if I sit?” Damn, he was so cheesy. 
You nodded, “Go ahead fellow blood drinker,” you teased, a smile formed on his face as he sat across from you. 
Niki tried to read you, thinking if he stared at you long and hard enough he could figure out every answer to his question without actually having to ask. 
You looked him up and down, “Nishimura, if you have something to say just say it, I’m not going to bite.” 
Niki glared at you, “That’s the best vampire joke you could come up with?” 
You shrugged, “I saw the chance and I took it.” 
He took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. 
“Sorry,” was all he could say, “I have never met another vampire that was well…”
“Stuck in a seventeen-year-old's body for eternity?” 
Niki nodded, “Yeah…exactly.” He was in awe at how you understood. 
“Makes it harder for us to find mates, that’s for sure.” 
And you lost him. 
Niki slumped back against the bookcase, gently laughing.
You didn’t understand what was so funny, “What are you laughing about?” 
Niki shrugged, leaning his head against the bookcase, making eye contact with you, “I don’t believe in soulmates.” 
You furrow your brows, “You don’t?”
“Nope.” He looked away, reading the titles of the books.
“Do you not believe as a whole, or just don’t believe in a soulmate for yourself?” 
Niki lifted his head, seeing how serious you were about that question. 
He didn’t know how to answer it. All he could do was stare at you. 
“You’re in a pack,” you said, “And those in your pack have soulmates, that’s why you can answer my question.” 
It wasn’t hard to tell that Niki was in a pack. Pack hunters have a totally different energy. 
Niki decided to dodge the question, slowly leaning back against the bookcase, “What about you? In a pack? You kinda give off that solo vibe.” 
You tuck your bottom lip between your teeth, deciding how to answer the question, “I am indeed solo. Just do my own thing.”
“I was solo once, and it wasn’t fun.” It surprised Niki how easily he was able to talk to you to even bring up his old past.
You smiled at the embarrassment on his face, he was too cute. 
“Anyways, I am Nishimura Riki, but I go by Niki.” he held out his hand, “We didn’t properly introduce each other yet.” 
You stare down at his hand, then back up at his face, “What time period are you from, Niki? A handshake?” 
Niki rests his hand down, softly scoffing, “I’m two hundred and ten.”
You snorted a small laugh, “Damn you’re old.” 
Niki smiled, clicking his tongue, “Yeah? and you?” 
“I’m only a hundred and fifteen.” you gave him a silly smile. 
“Wow, a whole ninety-five years younger than me.” 
You both laughed, “Unfortunately we are still seventeen.”  you said. 
Niki nodded, “Yeah, well this is the first time I have been okay with being stuck at seventeen.” 
Your heart skipped a beat. Staring into his eyes. 
Niki quickly shot up, startling you. 
“Well, lunch is almost over, head back to class?”
Before you could answer, your phone buzzed in your skirt pocket, “Uhh I am actually going to skip the rest of the day, I have some moving things to do.” 
Niki clicked his tongue, “Damn girl first day and you’re already skipping the rest of the day?” 
You shook his head at him teasing you, “Shut up and get back to class Nishimura.” 
Niki smiled wide as he walked away.
“Oh! Niki!” 
He stopped and turned to face you, waiting for you.
“I am Y/N,” you softly waved a hand at your side, “I didn’t tell you my name earlier.” 
“Well, Y/N,” Niki said, “I’ll see you around then.” 
He disappeared, only to poke his head back around the bookcase.
“Actually, want to hang out? Like after my soccer practice today? Or even tomorrow? Or whenever you prefer.”
You nodded, “Yeah I would actually love to hang out. It would be nice to make some friends. But I can’t tonight, so tomorrow?”
Niki nodded in agreement, “Tomorrow then.” 
And he officially disappeared this time. 
You pulled your phone from your pocket and read the messages. 
dni: have time for a chat? you: oops can’t sorry! school work…bummer.  dni: Y/N you: ? dni: now
you sigh, dropping your phone in your lap. 
Heeseung stood by the table, Sunoo and __ were at his left, Jake and Sunghoon on the right. 
A notepad with directions and any hints to lead to Dorian was written on it along with a map of the surrounding area. 
Heeseung covered his mouth with his hands, staring down at the map. 
“What about here?” Sunghoon asked, pointing at a specific point on the map. 
“No, Niki and I already checked there,” Jake answered. 
Heeseung’s eyes searched every inch of the map, trying to piece together where to find Dorian. 
Sunoo groaned, “We’ve been doing circles. There’s nothing but open water. We’ve gone diving multiple times as well to see if it’s under but it’s clearly not.” 
Sunoo’s mate sighs as well, rubbing his back, “I wish I could help find a more specific area…”
“No, __ it’s okay,” Jake said, “You’ve already done so much to help.” 
Sunghoon dropped his face in his hands, frustration isn’t even close to describing how he was feeling. 
“Where are the others right now?” Sunghoon asked. 
Heeseung sighed, “Jungwon and Jay are searching the area right now. The girls are at Jay’s apartment and Niki…I don’t know.” 
“I am right here,” Niki says, overhearing as he was walking inside the apartment, “What’s going on?” 
“Just still trying to find where Dorian could be hiding.” __ said. 
Niki walked to the table, his eyes scanning the map, shaking his head, “I feel like we’ve looked everywhere.” 
Everyone nodded in agreement. 
Niki slumped down into a chair, his brain wracking the memories of running through the area, trying to pinpoint anything. But nothing ever came up. 
“Let’s call it a night,” Heeseung finally said, “We’ll change searching shifts for tomorrow and just keep looking.” 
“It’s unfortunately all we can do…” Sunoo softly whispered, looking over at his hyungs, seeing their heads hung low, just wanting their mates back. 
Sunghoon pulled his phone from his jacket pocket, staring down at the lockscreen photo of himself and his witch mate. He silently begged for any hint so he could find you. 
There was a small tapping sound just then. Everyone’s heads perked up, their ears on high alert. Eyes quickly roaming. 
The apartment fell silent and the six of them listened as the tapping continued. 
Niki slowly turned his head towards the window, his brows furrowing at what he was looking at, “A raven?” 
Everyone turned to look at the window, a large raven sat at the windowsill, with a paper rolled and tied to its neck with a red string. 
Sunghoon quickly shot up from the chair, “It’s from __.”
Sunghoon rushed to the window, opening it and letting the raven hop inside. 
The raven stood still while Sunghoon untied the paper from its neck and once it was free, it flew back out the window. 
Sunghoon watched as the raven flew away, his heart breaking. 
“What’s in the note, hoon?” Jake asked, appearing beside his best friend. 
Niki followed behind, hovering over his hyungs shoulders. 
Sunghoon unrolled the paper, a smile forming on his face. 
“It’s coordinates.”
“What?” Heeseung rushed over, taking the paper from Sunghoon’s hands, and reading the coordinates written.
Everyone rushed back to the map. 
Heeseung grabbed a marker, lining up where the coordinates led, and landed in the middle of the forest. 
“We found it,” Heeseung whispered. 
Jake fell to the floor, face covered by his hands, “We finally fucking did it.” 
Sunghoon grabbed his chest, clinging to his white tee shirt, “My hex girl risked sending a raven…god, I love her…” 
“Sunoo, call Jay and Jungwon, and let them know what we found.” Heeseung asked, Sunoo immediately jumped from the table and dialed one of their numbers, “And __, can you use the paper that __ wrote on to find exactly where the coordinates lead? To get a picture of what we are looking for.” 
The elf took the paper in her hands, rubbing her thumbs over the ink written on it, and nodded, “I can, but it might not be enough, I might get only a small enough vision, nothing we haven’t already gotten.”
Heeseung gripped the marker in his hands, feeling like their two steps forward were also a step back. 
“What if we also used this?” Sunghoon lifted a black feather up into the air, “Something told me to take a feather from the raven…that it would somehow help. Since it’s __’s raven, and the bird clearly had to have been in that area for her to call it and then send it to find me.” 
Sunoo’s mate rushed to Sunghoon, taking the weather and feeling it with her hands, she smiled wide, “This is plenty, it has __’s magic all over it. It will work.” 
Sunoo returned, “Jay and Jungwon are on the way here. I told them everything.” 
Heeseung nodded, “__, start the process of the searching magic, so once the other two show up we can fully start.”
Niki felt a rush of adrenaline, they had waited for so long to find Dorian and put him down. They still didn’t fully know what he was planning, or why he wanted the pack dead, but Niki couldn’t help but finally feel relieved that it would be over soon. 
Heeseung noticed a difference in Niki, that he was more upbeat and not as quiet as normal. 
“What’s with you?” Heeseung asked, causing Niki to stutter in his seat.
“Huh?” 
Heeseung studied the maknae’s eyes, “You met someone.” 
The others' attention looked at Niki, his face turning a soft shade of pink.
“I met another vampire today…she’s my age.” 
Sunghoon let out a whistle, “Well look at that.” 
Niki shook his head, “It’s not like that, she’s super cool.”
Heeseung could already tell what it was from Niki’s reactions, but he knew the maknae had to discover everything himself. 
The topic dropped once Jungwon and Jay showed up, their mates following right behind them. 
“Get us updated,” Jungwon said, leaning his body against the table, “Have we started the searching process?” 
“Not yet, we waited for you,” Sunoo answered. 
Jungwon nodded, “Let’s get started. Once we have a clear vision of where this place is at, we will scope it out tomorrow and then will make an infiltration plan and get that son of a bitch the following day.” 
Everyone was in agreement, and the hunt for Dorian officially started. 
You stood in the alleyway, blood dripping from your fangs as you licked your lips, wiping the remaining blood from your face on the back of your hand. 
You looked down at the sacrifice of your meal, feeling the small inch of pain of what you’ve just done, but had to do. You needed to eat to survive, after all. 
You tilted your head to the side, “It’s about time you showed up.” 
Dorian walked from behind you, looking down at the body on the ground, “Awe, you didn’t leave any for me?”
You rolled your eyes, “Again, you kept me waiting. Wasn’t going to continue playing with my food until you showed up.” 
“Watch your mouth, Y/N.” Dorian stepped over the body, leaning against the wall, his eyes shooting daggers into you, “get me updated.” 
You sigh, standing in front of him, “Nothing has changed. They still have no idea where to find you.”
Dorian clicked his tongue, “Not yet. Our pretty little witch prisoner sent out a raven earlier. That’s what I was dealing with and why I was late.” 
You crossed your arms, not caring about this war Dorian started with himself and one of the most powerful vampire packs. 
“Why go this far? I thought you said the falling out between you and them was ancient history.” 
“Oh it is, but that doesn’t mean I am over it.” Dorian walked closer to you, “I need their power, their mates. The moment I kill their mates in front of them and then kill them and take in every ounce of power they have…I will be unstoppable.”
You looked away from him, “All this just to be the Vampire King.”
“Exactly!” He said, taking your jaw between his fingers and forcing you to look at him, “That’s why you’re going to lure them in with their little one.” 
You shoved him off you, “I told you I don’t give a shit, fight this on your own.” 
Dorian was quick on his feet as he was now standing behind you and a knife was pressed to your cheek, “Did you forget your place? Hmm?”
You took a deep breath in, letting a soft “no,” leave your lips. 
“Good.” Dorian released the knife and his grip on you, “Win the youngest one over, I don’t care how you do it as long as you don’t mate with him.” 
You shook your head, “It won’t happen, he doesn’t believe in soulmates.” 
Laughter erupted from Dorian, “What a shame.”
You couldn’t get Niki’s soft smile out of your mind, how much hurt that was held in that smile from his past trauma, but also the happiness he held in it as well because of the ones who saved him. 
It felt wrong to hand over Niki and his pack to Dorian. You already knew he was going to use the mates as his wild card to bend them to his will. 
But you knew you also couldn’t defy Dorian. 
Dorian starts to walk away from you, his voice echoing down the alley, “Do your job and lure the youngest in. Their power will be mine.”
Niki nervously tapped his foot against the floor, his eyes darting to the clock every five minutes. 
The school day couldn’t go any slower. 
His heart raced every time he would catch you staring at him. The way you would smile at him and push your hair behind your ears. It was driving him insane. 
The school bell rang, and Niki was the first out of the classroom, you followed right behind him. 
“So blondie, what is the plan for today?” You asked, keeping up with his pace. 
“I have soccer practice first, so I figured we could hang out once I’m finished?” 
You nodded, “I’ll even watch the practice.” 
Hearing those words was enough to pull at Niki’s heartstrings, quickly shook his head and shoved that feeling down. 
Niki also noticed how everyone was staring at the two of them. You also noticed. 
The whispers filled his ears. One by one making comments on how he finally wasn’t a loner, that they wondered how much he paid you to hang around them. Pointless bullshit after another.
“Niki,” your voice tuning him back to reality, pushing the whispers away, “Just ignore them, they aren’t worth the time.” 
He knew you were right. Niki smirked to himself, remembering they are just mortals wasting their lives with pointless bullshit. They had a short time. Niki had eternity. 
You sat in the bleachers, watching as Niki and his teammates did their stretches and warmups. 
There was another crowd of girls gushing over how cute all the boys were. Niki’s name came up, catching your attention. 
“Nishimura is so cute in his practice uniform~” one giggled. 
“I know! Gosh, I wish I was brave enough to ask him out, think he would say yes if I did?” 
You groaned in disgust, feeling a small hint of jealousy. The girls were pretty, and you couldn’t help but think how nice they would look standing next to Niki. 
His arm wrapped around them, his bite mark sitting beautifully on her neck. 
You snapped yourself out of your thoughts but still passed a glare at the girls. 
Little did you know Niki watched the whole interaction. 
He smiled warmly at seeing you getting worked up over some mortal girls. 
The coach called the players over, telling them a neighboring school came for a practice match. 
Niki couldn’t focus. His brain was in a million different places. Mostly back with you. How you’re sitting in the bleachers watching him and how bad he was sucking right now. 
The other team was winning. Niki couldn’t stay focused long enough. His teammates were even giving him hell for not being on his “a game”. 
You could sense he wasn’t feeling okay. Your heart pulled to him and you wanted to run across the field and give him the biggest hug. 
But you knew you couldn’t. So you settled for the next best thing. 
“NIKI!!!!”
Niki turned to you when hearing his name fall from your lips. 
All it took was making eye contact with you, for that little stupid string of fate to wrap around you both from across this field. 
Niki stood in place just looking at you and how big your smile was. 
You felt it too. The pull of that knot of fate. 
Before the knot could fully be tied, Niki’s coach called to him, gaining his attention back. 
You let out a breath, slowly sitting back down in the bleachers. 
You stared down at your black Converse, and a thought crossed your brain.
“Dorian will kill me too.” 
You and Niki walked side by side, the cool night breeze blowing your hair into your face. 
Niki took the opportunity to pull your hair behind your ears, slowly rubbing his thumbs against your cheeks. 
You tried to not look at him, wanting to push whatever fate had in store for you away. You couldn’t do this. It would get you both killed. 
Niki noticed your difference in mood. You wouldn’t look at him. Talk to him. Barely agreed to walk with him. 
“Y/N.” he called for you, “Look at me, please.” 
“I can’t…Niki.” 
Niki sighed and looked off into the distance, “Is it because I told you I don’t believe in soulmates?” 
You start to say something, to tell him the full truth. But you stopped.
Niki looked back at your face, watching you struggle to look anywhere but him hurt. He wanted your eyes on him, and only one way popped into his mind. 
Niki quickly leaned down, placing his lips gently on yours. 
You backed away quickly, making eye contact with him, “What the fuck, Niki?!” 
Niki smirked at your reaction, getting what he wanted, “It got you to look at me.” 
You groaned, throwing daggers at him with your eyes, “So you think kissing me was the way to go!?”
Niki just kept smiling at you, “I think I am ready to believe in soulmates.”
You relaxed your body, looking at him with such care, “What?”
He nodded, “I am ready to believe in soulmates.” he walked back to you, closing the gap. One hand rests on your waist while the other holds your face, “It took meeting you for me to realize it. I thought long and hard after you asked me if I didn’t believe in soulmates for myself, and you were right. The night I was turned, I was going to confess to the first girl I ever loved. But I watched her get murdered in front of me, thinking I was next but well..here we are. I stopped believing in love and the only love I accepted was from my pack. But one by one I watched as they each found a mate. Maybe I was just jealous because I am two hundred and ten stuck in a seventeen-year-old body for eternity and there aren’t many others stuck in the same situation.”
You tried to hold back the tears after hearing Niki’s past story and what he went through. 
“So finding a soulmate felt useless to me, that was until you walked into the classroom yesterday…Y/N, I know you felt that knot too. That pull of those stupid ass strings of fate…”
You slowly nodded, forcing yourself right now to not give in to it. 
Niki brushed your hair out of your face and wiped the small tear that came from your eye, “be my mate, Y/N. We have eternity to figure everything else out.” 
The pull was stronger and harder to fight. 
You wanted to be with him. Wanted to show him love and care. To spend that eternity to figure life out with him. 
Niki leaned his forehead against yours, “I already stopped fighting it…let it go.” 
You closed your eyes, stood on your tiptoes, and connected your lips to his. The string of fate sealing its knot. 
Niki smiled into the kiss before giggling and breaking the kiss. 
You looked up at your soulmate, his cute face bringing every ounce of joy into your own soul. 
Niki’s phone started vibrating in his pocket. 
He quickly glanced down, seeing a spam of messages from Heeseung. 
heeseung: We found it. Sunoo and Jay just returned. Come home ASAP!! Like right now. 
“Everything okay?” You asked, quickly glancing down at Niki’s phone, seeing the messages. 
“Yeah, I just have to go home, my brothers are looking for me.” 
Niki planted a soft kiss on your forehead, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” 
And then he vanished. 
Dread filled you. They did it. They found where Dorian was hiding, where YOU were hiding. 
“Didn’t I tell you to not mate with the young one?” 
Your heart stopped, panic settling in. 
“No no, Y/N. Better calm down before he senses something is wrong.” 
You knew he was right. and The last thing you needed was Niki to find out everything. 
Dorian appeared in front of you, the biggest smirk on his face. 
“This is a very big turn of events, who knew this whole time you were falling for the younger one? Hmm?”
Dorian’s words angered you, “You’re the one that’s had me stalking them for who knows how long now! This is your fault!” 
“Oh no, sweet Y/N,” he softly snapped, pinching your face, “This is fate's fault. I had no control over it. Don’t you know you don’t pick your soulmates? Fate does.” 
You shoved him away, trying to keep yourself as calm as possible so Niki doesn’t sense anything. Or even worse, his whole pack sensing something wrong. 
“Now what to do, what to do.” Dorian circled around you. 
“I won’t do it. Whatever it is, I won’t do it.” 
Dorian stopped walking, “Excuse me?” 
You took a step back, but Dorian was way too quick. 
His hand met your throat, and your back to the pavement. 
“You really needed to be reminded, huh little one? Did you forget who created you?!? I DID!” Dorian’s voice growled. The memory of the night he nearly killed you but decided at the last minute that you’d be a perfect puzzle piece to his game.
You gripped both hands around his wrist, trying with all your strength to push him off you. But nothing worked. 
“Hahahahaaaa! See, Y/N? The power that I have obtained just from that dhampir and witch alone. Imagine the power I’d behold once that damn pack is gone!”
Your eyes widened, shaking your head, “No please.” 
“It’s too late, your little mate will be killed with the rest of them. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep you alive until the world ends to suffer for the pain you just caused.”
Tears swelled your eyes. You just got your soulmate, and you’ll soon lose him too. 
“Now that I also know they have found where we live, I think it's time to lure them in, ya?” Dorian balled up his other fist, “You’ll go find your mate, show them what I have done to you, and lead them to our home. That damn elf of theirs has masked their scents, but since you’re connected to them.”
You blacked out after that sentence. Doing everything you could to hide the pain so Niki wouldn’t come running. 
Everyone ran around Heeseung’s apartment gathering all the supplies and weapons needed. 
Niki helped Sunghoon and Jake pile the supplies into backpacks. 
“It’s almost time,” Jungwon announced, “The earlier we hit his compound, the better.” 
Niki wondered if you could feel the stress he was feeling. The pain of being away from you. He wondered if his brothers had noticed. 
He wanted to tell them. To at least let them know. 
He shoved a few blood bags into the backpack, his brain on the fence about what to do. 
“Hey,” Heeseung tapped his shoulder, “Everything okay?” 
Before Niki could answer, he sensed you. 
Niki dropped the backpack and ran to the front door, swinging it open. 
You looked up at your soulmate and watched how his face shattered at how you looked. 
Niki pulled you inside, slamming the door behind you. 
He embraced you in his arms and all you could do was cry. Not just because of how badly you were physically in pain, but because of the fate that awaited you both. 
“Hey hey, Y/N, what happened?!” Niki tried to calm you down, running his hands through your hair. 
Jay and Heeseung were at Niki’s side in a second, removing you from his arms. 
“STOP!” Niki yelled, using all his strength to get his brothers away from you. 
They took a step back and they watched Niki drop to the floor with you back in his arms. 
And that’s when the others felt it. 
Heeseung sighed, “This is Niki’s mate.” 
Niki was able to calm you down and sat you on the couch while he knelt in front of you. 
This was the first time you’d been up and close with the rest of his pack. 
Now that you were connected to them, you could feel just how powerful these vampires were. 
Heeseung knew something felt off. If Niki and you were bonded together, why didn’t the rest know? Heeseung remembers feeling the exact moment when each member connected with their mates. Why was Niki’s story so different? 
Niki brushed your hair away from your face, his heart broke at seeing how you looked, how bruised and cut up you were. 
“Who did this to you?” Niki whispered, fighting back his own tears. 
You did as Dorian told you, “It was Dorian.” 
The room fell even more silent, and all eyes were on you.  
“He was stalking Niki and me tonight. He told me as he attacked me that he wanted Niki. He wanted the rest of your mates. I don’t know why or what for, I was just so confused. He let me go and I only felt safe finding Niki.” 
Heeseung clocked your story. Putting it to the side for now. 
Jay examined you, making sure your healing function was working and the elf mate offered to help speed up the process. 
Heeseung pulled Niki to the side, “When did this happen?” 
Niki raised a brow, “I told you all that I met another vampire.” 
“Not that.” Heeseung softly snapped. 
Niki knew what he was talking about, “It just happened, like right before you spammed my phone. There were other important matters and I didn’t want to distract anyone. We need the girls back and to destroy Dorian, mostly now that he was targeting me to get to you guys and now hurt my mate. I’m done playing games.” 
Niki walked back over to you, and all Heeseung could do was analyze. 
After you were healed up, the leader of your new pack was ready to move out. 
“We need to leave. Now.” Jungwon said, then turning to his soulmate and planting a soft kiss on her lips. 
Jay did the same, telling the girls to behave and not leave the apartment. 
Sunoo and his elf mate dangled their fingers together and were the first two out of the apartment. 
Niki watched Jungwon and Jay and say the final goodbyes to their mates, telling them they would be back soon. 
Niki knelt back down to you, “You need to stay here with them.” 
You shook your head, “No! I want to fight as well!” 
Niki kissed your forehead, “I can’t lose you.” 
You gripped his forearms, hands shaking. You need to be there to stop Dorian if he tries to hurt Niki. You can’t allow it. 
Niki released you from him, following his brothers out the door. 
You cursed to yourself, standing up and leaving the apartment. 
Finding the entrance to the compound was easy thanks to __ magic. 
Niki followed behind his brothers and they snuck their way inside. 
Jake and Sunghoon were on the lookout for where they could be keeping their mates. 
The compound was a lot bigger than they expected. Heeseung figured Dorian made it like this purposely to keep anyone from finding him. 
They eventually came to a throne room. The room was painted red and was barely lit. 
“Keep your guard up,” Jungwon said, “I have a bad feeling  about this place.” 
“As you should, Won.”
All the vampires hissed, seeing Dorian walk into the room. 
Niki’s fist tightened, seeing the man who was responsible for hurting you. 
Dorian looked at each of them, a small tsk releasing from his mouth, “I am so disappointed, where are the humans?”
Jungwon stepped in front of everyone, his fangs retracted and hands pulling out his weapon, “Don’t speak about our humans!” He hissed. 
Jay followed right up behind Jungwon, his jaw locked in place. 
Dorian laughed, “The only one who brought their mate was Sunoo, never thought you’d be into elves.” 
Sunoo gritted his teeth, pushing __ behind him. 
“Give me back my witch!” Sunghoon screamed, “Give her back to me!”
Dorian raised a brow, seeing Jake step beside Sunghoon, “I want my dhampir back as well.”!
“Hmm, well of course.” Dorian snapped his fingers, two portals opening. Two vampire women stepped through, holding the witch and dhampir at knifepoint. 
Sunghoon and Jake tried to rush to their mates, Jungwon and Jay grabbing a hold of them.
Heeseung analyzed everything. Something was off. Dorian wouldn’t just hand them over that easily. 
The women threw the witch and dhampir across the room, Sunghoon and Jake being at their side in seconds. 
Sunghoon embraced her, “Oh my beautiful hex girl.” He cried out, holding her weak body tightly against him. 
“You saw my raven?” she spoke, touching her hands to his face. 
Sunghoon nodded, “I did. We received the raven.” 
Jake pulled the dhampir up to her feet, her strength barely there to even stand. 
“Baby, my Luna Nova,” Jake pulled her to him, tears staining his face, “I won’t ever let you go again.” 
Jay and Jungwon pulled Sunghoon, Jake, and their mates behind them. 
That’s when Heeseung noticed it. 
“This is a trap.” 
Everyone looked at him. Dorian’s smirk gets wider. 
“Hyung!” Niki called out, “What do you mean this was a trap?!” 
Heeseung studied the room more. This wasn’t just some normal room. 
“He put a magic barrier in this room that only amplifies his power and weakens ours.” 
Jungwon gritted his teeth, “That's why you gave us the girls back so easily!”
“Oh, how correct you are!” Dorian snapped his fingers again, and a small flame appeared at his fingertips, “Your pack is the strongest out of all the vampire packs. Not to mention you now have a dhampir, witch, and elf in your ranks as well. You guys are a powerhouse!” 
Jay rolled his eyes, “Get to the fucking point!” 
“With you all out of the way, no one can stand in my way of becoming the Vampire King.” 
Heeseung furrowed his eyes, “You’re afraid one of us will take the throne?” he hissed.
Dorian shrugged, “Of course. The last thing we need is your pack in charge.”
“And what makes you think you’re so fit to be king?!” Sunghoon snapped, finally getting his witch back to her feet. 
“Because I achieved what no one else has. I killed an entire coven and stole all their secrets. Got the blood of humans to use and even stole some magic from your witch and strength from your dhampir. I inherited it all. I will kill each and every one of you then challenge the vampire king for his throne. The world will know no peace.” 
Niki clenched his fist, “No one will follow you!” 
The ladies at Dorian’s side giggled, clearly showing where their loyalty was. 
“Don’t worry, Nishimura. I have plenty of other people in this compound already devoted to me…ain’t that right, Y/N.” 
Niki’s heart dropped seeing you appear from behind Dorian. 
Your eyes were swollen from crying. You couldn’t even look at Niki. You already could feel the bond between you two shaking. 
Dorian pulled you to him, hand gripping your chin. 
Niki ran forward, Jay and Jungwon having to hold him back. He hissed as his fangs sharpened to a point. 
Heeseung knew the moment you stepped foot inside the apartment that something was off. You have the power to mask yourself from not just everyone but also your pack. 
“Let her go!!” Niki yelled, fighting against his brothers to get free. 
Heeseung quickly turned around, receiving a nod from the elf. 
She secretly was tearing the barrier down. It was time to fight. 
Dorian noticed right away, the feeling of his power fading. 
Everyone pulled their weapons out, ready to rush Dorian. 
“Wait STOP!” Jungwon screamed, seeing Dorian’s dagger connected to your throat, “He’ll kill her if we move.” 
Niki fought to stay in place. 
“Drop all your weapons. NOW!” Dorian yelled. 
One by one everyone got rid of their weapons, the women collecting them quickly. 
Niki kept his eyes on you, but the more he looked, the more he realized how he was played. 
His soulmate was his enemy. 
Dorian noticed Niki’s reaction, “Hmm you finally pieced the puzzles together huh? Your soulmate betrayed you. Not just right now either. She’s been stalking and following you guys around.”
Heeseung clenched his jaw tighter, “That's how our locations kept getting leaked.” 
Dorian nodded, “You even called it too, saying a mole was watching from a distance. Bravo.”
Niki took a step forward, but the dagger against your neck broke the skin, your blood collecting on the dagger. 
“Don’t move, I’ll kill her right here in front of you.”
Niki shook his head, the old memories returning. Seeing his first love being drained and killed in front of him. He couldn’t go through it again. He can’t. 
Heeseung’s eyes were roaming all over the room, noticing the women who were once at Dorian’s side were gone. 
That’s when Heeseung sensed it. 
Heeseung ducked down, pulling his hidden blade from his boot, grabbing the woman, and holding her to his chest. He stabbed the blade into her shoulder, and blood slightly painted his face, as her screams filled the room.  
Sunghoon and Jungwon were able to catch the other woman, tearing her apart. 
Dorian furrowed his eyes, anger filled him as he watched one of his followers get murdered. Eyes flooded back to Heeseung. 
“Release the girl!” Heeseung yelled, “And I’ll return your follower.”
Niki kept his eyes on you, waiting for the right second to grab you from Dorian. 
Everyone slowly moved forward. The witches and dhampir's strength slowly return. The witch set her hand a blaze, while the elf built a barrier around her pack. 
Dorian was back into a corner(literally). 
He snapped his fingers, and a portal appeared. 
Heeseung slowly shoved the blade further into the woman’s shoulder, her screams getting louder.
Dorian needed a better plan, mostly since his strongest vampire was being held against Heeseung’s chest. 
“Give me my follower back first, then I’ll let go of the little one.” 
Niki whipped around to his hyung, begging with his eyes to let go of the woman.
Heeseung knew the game Dorian was playing and took a step forward, his brothers following. 
Dorian released a laugh, “Oh well this was fun, but I have things cooking in another place. I was expecting the barrier to hold. Oh well.”
He put one foot in the portal but stopped at Niki’s cries.
“GIVE HER BACK!” 
Dorian laughed some more, releasing you from his grip. 
“Silly teenager, I created her. I turned her into what she is now. I gave her eternal life. Her loyalties are to me!” 
Niki moved forward, his arms stretched in front of him, “Y/N, please. We’re soulmates…choose me again. Please choose me again.” 
You wiped the blood from your neck, refusing to look at Niki. You knew Dorian wouldn’t stop until you all were dead. And the only way to keep Niki safe was to betray him. 
You didn’t move from Dorian’s side. 
“Y/N…” 
Dorian’s laugh filled the room, “I told you. Maybe your bond doesn’t run as deep as you thought.”
Dorian stepped through the portal, you following right behind him. 
“Y/N!!!” Niki screamed, causing your heart to break. 
You looked at him one last time, “Just let me go, Niki…you have to let it go.” 
Niki fell to his knees watching you disappear with Dorian. 
“Fuck.” Heeseung mumbled. 
Everyone stood in place, not knowing what to say or do. They could just watch their maknae stare off into the distance. 
“If you’re going to kill me, go ahead and get it over with!” the woman hissed, squirming in Heeseung’s arms. 
“Hmm…” Heeseung hummed, pushing the blade further in, “I have other uses for you.” 
They placed a bag over her head and tied it tightly. 
“Where to now?” Sunghoon asked, pulling his witch closer to him. 
Jungwon looked at Heeseung for confirmation, only speaking after he nodded, “The new safe house.” 
The woman was thrown into a chair and tied down, the bag being removed from her head. 
She blinked a couple of times to refocus her vision, seeing Heeseung standing in front of her. 
She squirmed in the chair, quickly looking around the empty room. 
“Where the fuck am I?” 
Heeseung let out a laugh, “That’s a fucking funny joke.” 
She gritted her teeth, the pain in her shoulder returning. 
Her blood was still attached to Heeseung’s face and clothes, and it completely covered her entire clothes. 
Heeseung placed his right boot between her legs on the chair, leaning on his right leg, “Tell us where to find Dorian.” 
“Go fuck yourself.” 
Heeseung pulled out the same blade from earlier out his back pocket, placing the cold silver against her jawline, it burned her skin. 
“This blade was made special for me. Made with the same type of silver that’s used to kill us.” He pressed the blade closer, watching as she gritted her teeth. Heeseung removed the blade, asking her one more time, “Where is Dorian.” 
She refused to answer, instead, laughter filled her lungs. 
“You won’t find him. He succeeded in his experiments to become the strongest vampire. And once he kills the vampire king, he will be stronger than you pack and kill you all.”
Heeseung chuckled, “What makes you so sure that he could kill the vampire king?” 
“Look at what he has achieved,” she tilted her head, “He’ll kill the vampire king, kill you all and save me.” 
Heeseung laughed more, “That’s pretty fucking hilarious actually.”
She furrowed her eyes in confusion. Staring up at Heeseung. The facial expression he was making scared her.
“How is this so funny?” she asked. 
“Because,” Heeseung tilted his head up, his fangs slowly came to a point, his tongue licking his right fang as his eyes turned a different color. It wasn’t the shade of crimson that normal vampires have, but it was bright gold. And the only vampire that has bright golden eyes was…“I am the vampire king.” 
She gasped, seeing how bright golden his eyes were. Seeing six pairs of crimson eyes glowing behind him. 
Heeseung smirked down at her, as the fear settled in.

How to attract each member of Enhypen? 💖💖💖💖
How To Attract Enhypen Members
Heeseung:
For him, he likes people that are clever
So heeseung gets easily attracted to intelligent people or even work-driven people
Physically it's true that he rather people with slimmer bodies,
abs even I might say
Also, people that show a preference to want to be a mother for example
He is also attracted to people that talk softly
But are able to hold their grounds
Someone simple that isn't much into appearance
So no heavy makeup per example
now he also gets attracted by the person if the person helps him
If the person seeks for him and make him feel like he had a purpose per example
Jay
In his case, he also like people that are extremely pretty
Like beauty standards persons
They need to have a very soft voice
feminine and well spoken
Jay is the type to feel attracted to people that have a good financial background per example
Mother like girls
like the type of people that are responsible
grounded
and like to take care of others
He feels the most attracted to these people
He also gets attracted if the person cooks for him
If they are gentle and listening to him
A good listener is important
Jake
He gets easily attracted by mysterious folk
Like the type of person that doesn't reveal much to the world
But will it be okay to tell him what they feel like
Jake is attracted to soft features yet sexy personalities
if the person shows strong principles that are equal to him
or like when the person will always seek his company
for his loyalty
also despite the sexy appearance he will be attracted a lot by innocence
Because it gives him the idea of wanting to corrupt them
Jake gets attracted to people who kinda venerate him
And need their protection
Sunghoon
He is a little bit like Jake
In a way that what attracts him the most is innocence
like younger people than him
people that don't have experience in some subjects and where he can actually take the lead
Because he gets easily attracted to people that are "distressed" so he can show his strong features
gentle people yet with a sexy vibe are his type as well
Sunghoon is attracted by the fact he can be the "man" of the place
With compliments and sincerity
Also the best way to have him once you attract him is to show devotion
and loyalty
Sunoo
He is attracted to open-minded people
people that are social butterflies
that will talk without being scared
that are strong and independent
people that understand him and that will allow him to have deep conversations about several topics
He kinda likes strong arm muscles as well
And he is attracted to loud voices
And like the collarbone area is like the thing he gets attracted to physically
but other than that he is just is drawn with people that talk a lot
Jungwon
He is attracted to people that will be soft as well
Because Jungwon is someone that is very passionate and fiery in love
And thus he likes seductive persons
He is attracted to people that are dependent on him
that will always come to him for help
Also people that are sporty
Who take care of their appearance
he can be quite into make up and well dressed people you know
He gives that a lot of importance when he gets attracted to people at first time
He also is attracted when people get pouty
When they make cute faces but are quite stubborn
Niki
When it takes to Niki, he is attracted to family-driven people
People that actually care for their family and have priorities
He also prefers when the person is stable in their live
But have a sensitive part of themselves as well
because Niki is someone that can lack sensitivity and he is attracted to people that can show that
Also he is hypnotized by people who are spiritual
other than that, to attract him the person needs to take care of themselves, of their hair and skin
if they have slim legs it will be good for him as well
He can be a lot into appearance as well
However the heart will prevail

PRETTY BOY!
Tumblr media
plot: niki swears he met the girl of his dreams at the convenience store late one night- however, his discovery proves to be misguided. the "girl" he likes is actually just a really pretty boy, and he's the main vocalist of the new and wildly popular boy group of four, X_CAPE.
<- prev. masterlist. next ->
written: 0.5k words
chapter one: you had one job
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yn was in a frenzy trying to find something to cover his face when he took notice of someone's gaze on him.
he'd been too preoccupied with responding to a text after escaping from the dorm window to remember to put on a face mask, only realizing with a jolt at his destination much later. if by some unfortunate circumstance dispatch managed to spot him, management (and ivory) would be furious.
now, he assumes he looks very much an idiot as he hides in a corner of the convenience store, emptying his tote bag frantically in an attempt to find anything that might better obscure his identity. complaining about his shit luck is a habit at this point, but did he really have to be proven right again? christ on a cracker, it's so difficult to always be correct.
and to make things even worse, a guy just walked into the aisle while yn was dropping random shit- oh fuck, he's staring.
i'm so screwed.
yn rushes to regain his composure, gathering his belongings hurriedly and feeling brave enough to steal a glimpse at the other teen from his crouched position. (embarrassing, but how could he resist checking him out?) the boy's ogling him with wide eyes, soft hair curling out slightly from beneath his hood. he's tall and slim, and due to the mask he's wearing yn can't gauge his expression, but if he had to guess? he'd definitely say the dude's mouth is hanging open.
well, jesus. do i look that odd?
...wait, he's cute.
not allowing his thoughts to wander for too long, yn glances back down at the ground (still half-kneeling, mind you). either the cute boy had already recognized him, or was just intensely weirded out... so, two main options for the scenario at hand. one: risk it even more, ask for a spare mask and hope for the best, or two: don't, and hope for the best.
psh, yolo.
yn bounds to his feet in an instant, boldly striding up to the bewildered boy and silently praying he made the right choice. "hey, um. do you have another mask i could use?" jesus, this man is a fucking skyscraper.
he blinks once. twice. thrice? yn shifts, rubbing the back of his neck. "it's fine if you don't-"
"no, i think i uh- i- i might have, um..." he trails off quietly, patting down his pockets and leaving yn reeling inwardly. HIS VOICE BRO?!:((#!*&!1_! "i actually do." the teen lends the shorter a mask, and yn finds himself unable to contain his relief.
"oh my god, you're a lifesaver- thank you so, so much!" perhaps it's a little dramatic to clasp the stranger's hands in his, yet it barely occurs to the vocalist as he rushes away, leaving the lanky boy standing there flustered.
neither can tell why the other looks somewhat familiar, but for now there are tweets to be tweeted and thoughts to be thunk.

hey max! can u tell us something bout enhypen future partners / future spouses appearance? of it's possible ofc
Enhypen Future Spouses Appearance
♡ Shufflemancy reading - 01/09/22 Disclaimer: I’m a beginner with tarot and my readings could be correct and could be not. I am still learning so please take everything with a grain of salt. These readings are for fun and for entertainment purposes only <3 This is all alleged. I don’t want to hurt any idol or send them hate.
Another disclaimer: when I talk about the colors of their hair don't even overthink about it could be dyed, could be natural, could be a wig even, the tarot cards show me possible features and person but it can't be narrowed down to this specific color of hair, eyes, skin, lips... in each person. Please take this with a grain of salt <3
If you want to know the deck I used was the modern witch tarot

gorgeous | 2
synopsis: chapter two of lover, a kit wisp x reader series.
tw: drinking, swearing
listen to: gorgeous by taylor swift
the first two months after y/n moved to brighton were spent furnishing and decorating her new place. she had friends over frequently helping with this, and they made quick work of it. finally, the process was complete.
to celebrate, tommy invited y/n and some of their other friends out to the pub. it would be y/n's first time in an english pub, and her first time publicly drinking. but hey, it was legal there!
tommy texted her the details, and she began getting ready. she wanted to look nice, so she put in extra effort when it came to hair and makeup. she took a while to choose the perfect outfit, but finally she managed, and she was on her way.
upon arriving, y/n was met with many familiar faces. she recognized tommy, wilbur, jack, freddie, bill, callum, and even niki! but there was also someone else there who she didn't know, someone she wasn't familiar with. tommy introduced him as kit, aka wisp, a minecraft youtuber.
her heart skipped a beat as she introduced herself. good god, he was pretty. she looked up while she was speaking and noticed kit's eyes were focused intently on her. she accidentally made direct eye contact with him and felt her cheeks flush. she wanted to explode.
a few drinks later, and she was feeling better about it. good enough that she began talking to kit, and lightheartedly making fun of his accent. y/n knew that as the only american at the table, she was vastly outnumbered, but that didn't matter. all that mattered to her was the beautiful laugh that kit would let out when she mocked the way he said something.
"pAvemeNt!" she giggled.
kit laughed. "well what do you say, then?"
"sidewalk? because it's where you walk? on the side of the road?"
kit laughed at her antics.
no matter who else was there, something about kit just grabbed her attention and pulled her in. perhaps it was the charming laugh? the cute dimples? the accent? the gorgeous face that was going to get her in a lot of trouble?
y/n felt drawn to him, and she wanted to get to know him better, but at the same time he made her so nervous she could hardly speak. his beautiful features, the intense gaze he held on her as she spoke, carefully listening to every word, the way he would laugh at what she said as if she were the funniest person he'd ever met. and god, those eyes. she had never seen eyes like those before.
yep, she was in trouble.
in reality, y/n knew that it was silly. he was older than her, by four years, as she just learned. it wasn't that much, but it was enough to convince her it was a hopeless endeavor. besides, she had just met him, and he probably wasn't nearly as infatuated with her as she was with him. it was just a silly school girl crush, she would get over it and move on. at least she hoped she would.
as the night went on, her mind became hazier, and the blush on her cheeks darkened. she was sure it was starting to become noticeable.
god, what was happening to her? she didn't usually get like this. she had just met kit, and this stupid crush was hopeless. and to make things worse, she knew she'd probably see him again in the future. y/n wanted to combust on the spot.
at one point, she had been talking to the group with her left hand on the table, her drink in her right. she felt a warm hand touch hers before quickly disappearing, and she looked over to see kit's apologetic smile. he had accidentally set his hand on hers.
"sorry", he laughed an apology, but her brain short circuited. y/n felt her face growing hotter by the second.
y/n hoped he didn't have a girlfriend. that would completely ruin her chances, which she already felt were slim to none. not only that, but it would be embarrassing if she was drooling over a guy with a girlfriend. but then, at the same time, if he didn't have a girlfriend it would be a total waste. he deserved one for sure. he was so beautiful, and he had this way about him that made y/n feel like she was falling into something dangerous.
she felt her phone vibrate and she looked down to be met with a text from tommy.
'you good?' it read. she typed a quick response. 'yeah, why?'
'you just seem a bit flushed. is it because of kit? 😏😉'
y/n flipped him off across the table and he snickered. he knew. he knew kit was making her nervous, and she knew she was done for. she groaned, instantly knowing the gremlin would make her life hell for this.
she wanted to blame kit for all of this. how dare he be so pretty and how dare he make her feel this way? but realistically, what could she blame him for, simply existing? that wasn't fair. but at the same time, fuck him for being so perfect. quite frankly, it was inconsiderate of him to look like that and expect her not to fall in love instantly.
unfortunately, all good things must end, and it was about time to head home. with her liquid courage helping her talk to kit, it almost made y/n sad to leave his gorgeous face behind and stumble home.
everyone grabbed their things and headed out into the cold night air. no one wanted it to end so soon, but unfortunately it was eleven pm, and some people had things to do the next day.
everyone exchanged goodbyes in the form of hugs and promises to do this again soon. kit pulled y/n into a friendly embrace, and tommy gave her a cheeky thumbs up and a wink. she rolled her eyes at him before pulling away from kit and saying goodbye to everyone.
if she had been bolder, she would've asked him to hang out, without the others. but sadly, no amount of liquid courage could give her a shot with kit, so she went home, preparing herself for a night of loneliness, a face mask, and taylor swift.

Company
Chapter 3: Becoming friends
Tumblr media
Synopsis: Niki comes across a girl and becomes friend with her because he loved her company. Niki thinks he only likes her as a friend and likes someone else romantically and gets into a relationship with his 'crush'. But does he actually just see Y/N platonically?
Previous || Masterlist || Next
Y/N froze. There were literally the entire staff, her best friend and her idol was hugging the living soul out of her.
But when Niki didn't feel Y/N hugging her back, he sorta felt his heart break. Y/N pretended she didn't know him personally, then tried to hide and now wasn't hugging her back. Did she not like him anymore? Was he not her idol anymore? Was he not her lockscreen anymore? Was it because she didn't like his new hair color? Was it because the day they met, he made too many butt jokes? Was it because she found him boring in general?
Niki pulled away, and said feebly
Niki: Are you not happy to meet me again?
Y/N noticed the disappointment in his eyes and immediately retalieted, even tho she knew wonyoung would tease her for these her entire life.
Y/N: Omg! No! *Hugs niki* i was just... Shocked...
Niki: Then why were you avoiding me? ʕಠ_ಠʔ
Y/N: i wasnt...
Niki: Wonyoung noona's manager told me you hid with the camera crew and told not to tell anyone you were there...
Y/N: *awkward laugh* no... It's... I was... I just ..thought... I just thought I wasn't looking good hehe.
Niki: I think you look gorgeous tho, now that we have met again, let go get ice cream in the cafeteria on first floor? My treat!
Y/N : Yeah... Sure... Why not
Wonyoung: ರ_ರ You have so much to explain Y/N...
Y/N: hehe... (^~^;)ゞ
Niki, Wonyoung, Y/N ,Sunoo and Jungwon all decided to go get ice cream.
Jungwon: wtf? Wonyoung you like Mint chocolate ice cream?
Sunoo: Damn gurl we can be bestiesss
Wonyoung: Everything aside, Y/N how do you know niki? And how did i not know you know niki?
Niki : We met a two months ago and ate together at his brother's cafe near the 18th lane Street. We had a lot of fun and after that we met today!
Wonyoung: Then... I mean... You hugged her as if you met your long lost soulmate or something lol
Sunoo: Niki has a crush on Y/N, he blushed and talked about her almost every other day!
Niki: YAH stop lying I never said that
Jungwon: You are literally blushing rn
Wonyoung: omg Y/N this is your Wattpad era.
Sunoo: OMG you read Wattpad stories tooo?!?! We are literally soulmates!!
(jungwon was feeling tad bit jealous rn btw)
Y/N : *wiggling eyebrows* so you have a crush on me Niki? Lol
Niki: *stuttering* it's... It's not like.. that... i just... enjoyed spending time with you... and these guys think you can't talk nice about a girl without... having a crush on her
Sunoo and Wonyoung at the same time: You also blush while talking nice about a *random* girl?
They bust out giggling, Y/N was releaved to see Wonyoung being herself after a long time.
Niki: So now that we met again... Why don't we... exchange... numbers?
Sunoo: LMAO BAHAHAHHA YOU CANT TELL ME YOU DONT LIKE HER BAHAHAHHHAHAHHSH YOU LEGIT MALFUNCTIONING RN STUTTERING AND ASKING FOR HER NUMBER HAHAHAHAHA
Y/N (blushing): Sure
They all exchange numbers. Soon enhypen has to leave because they are busy promoting the song.
Wonyoung and Y/N go to I've dorm because it had been long since they were to have lunch together. Wonyoung teased her all along how she had idol wrapped around her finger but Y/N felt this was all stupid this was literally their second meet. For the first time she started feeling insecure about everything. She was friends with the top idols who were so successful and good looking while Y/N was a normal teenager who couldn't even keep up with her grades. If he actually liked her... Why didn't he come to the cafe not even once again?
For the first time, she started comparing how everyone in I've were slim and pretty but Y/N was pretty much out of shape and was doing nothing with her life... There was no way a guy like Niki who was ... Literally perfect??! Deep voice, tall and good looking, respectful, talented and successful at the age of 16... would like someone like her ?Y/N always thought she didn't have an amazing personality either. She wasn't like the kind Disney princess or the cool mean girl. She felt like she had the most mediocre personality... So she basically had, no good points?
She kept over thinking about this all the time and Liz noticed something was up. While Wonyoung was taking a shower she decided to talk to Y/N about it.
Liz: Y/N is everything alright? You seem lost...
Y/N: Oh yeah everything is completely alright.
Liz: Wonyoung told us everything, I'm so confused... If you like Niki so much then why did you go hide from him?
Y/N: Liz... I can't help but feel insecure... I feel like I'm nowhere around niki's leve-
Y/N got a text from Niki, Y/N PANICKED bad.
Niki: Heyy this is Y/N, right?
Wonyoung came out the shower to see Y/N and Liz sitting on her bed with Y/Ns face telling her that her soul has left body.
Liz: Y/N?? Why arent you texting Niki back?
Wonyoung: Oooo, Niki texted you?
Y/N: JSIANVEHZHEIDN GHANDBEIAKANAJA
Wonyoung: Did you forget how to text or what? Text him back??
Y/N: BUT WHAT IF I TEXT HIM THIS FAST AND HE STARTS THINKING IM FREE 24/7 AND I AINT GOT NOTHING TO DO UNLIKE HIM WHO IS LIKE... ONE OF THE BUSIEST PEOPLE IN KOREA??!
Liz: then text him a little later?
Y/N: BUT WHAT IF HE TAKES UPTO HIS EGO THAT IM TAKING SO LONG TO REPLY AND I DONT THINK HE IS IMPORTANT AND WHAT IF HE STOPS TEXTUNG ME FORVERVE OMG
Wonyoung: Y/N calm down. Just text him like you text everyone. Text him a hi. Normally.
Liz: She's right
Y/N: a hi? Ok.
Y/N: But wait!!! How many 'i' do i add? If i add only one i then he might think I'm being dry but what if i add too many i he might think I'm over excited to text -
Wonyoung- Add two i's
Y/N: Okay T-T
Y/N : OMG HE IS TEXTING BACK ALREADY!!!!! He said we'll continue talking later... He's busy... Oh no... Did i mess up? Did be already get bored of me? I shouldn't have texted him this fast-
Wonyoung: Y/N why are you panicking over a boy? This is so not you lmaooo
Liz: hey you actually don't need to be so over conscious about everything. Just go with the flow.
Wonyoung: i thought I wouldn't be able to talk to them properly and I'd need your help but it looks like it's the opposite hehe
Y/N: (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
Y/N went home later than evening, she was watching a video about a chemistry topic until she received another text from Niki, telling her he is going back home from work -
Tumblr media
Y/N had another million questions in her head but she decided to brush it off and listen to Wonyoung's advice to text normally.
Niki and Y/N texted for an entire hour and Niki told Y/N how his hyungs scolded him the day he came late and how he grew 2 cm taller and how he dyed his hair blonde again and how much fun he had while filming the mv for tamed dashed on the beach.
Niki asked Y/N to come to their last performance for their promotion in SBS kpop, and how he really would love to see her there. Y/N immediately called Wonyoung to ask if she should say a yes or no
Wonyoung: why in world would you even say a no?????
Y/N : IDK MAYBE BECAUSE WTF WTF WTF WTF HE IS TEXTING AGAIN OH NO SHIT O ACCIDENTALLY OPENED HIS TEXT OMG OMG
Wonyoung: TEXT HIM YOU ARE COMING
Y/N : OK 😭😭.
Y/N: done... He sent a smiley emoji...
Wonyoung: See. It was this easy.
Y/N: WDYM BY EASY I HAVE TO GO TOMORROW TO SEE HIM PERFORM I DKNT EVEN HAVE SOMETHING GOOD TO WEAR... AND OMG IM GOING TO GET TO WATCH ENHYPEN PERFORM OMGGHH... SHOULD I TAKE THEIR ALBUMS AND GET IT SIGNED?wait no... They would fan-zone me then...

Y/N : T-T ok... Wonyoung you are the best
Wonyoung: i know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Song: La La Lost You by Niki
Summary: With him being the pro hero he is, time slips away while distance grows.
Pairings: Katsuki Bakugo x fem! reader
Word count: 4.8k
Warning: angst, cursing
Quirk: You can read minds and portray them in real life. Example: If they thought about a gun, you create the image of the gun and use the gun. Same goes for you, if you think about a bomb, a bomb is already in your hands ready to use.
Symbols: Italic= flashbacks
A/n: can you pls let me know if you'd like a part 2 fnejdn
Tumblr media
While I'm on Sunset, are you on the subway?
While I drive, are you gettin' on the L-train?
Bakugo can feel the longing in his heart as he watches a couple pick out engagement rings. His fists tighten at the sight as he feels an ache in his heart while he longs for an embrace his body misses, a body he missed to cherished, pair of lips he missed to place upon his. He lowers his head as he does his nightly patrols. Winter coming in closer than he realized, another year passing by. He thought he wanted this year to end as fast as it could yet here he is, sorrow and regret on his shoulders. Half of his heart gone, nearly falling apart as he stares at every happy couple his eyes fall upon. Even if his fans came to him, no matter how loud the praises and compliments were thrown at him, he felt nothing.
All he wanted to feel was her.
He wanted to feel how warm she was pressed against him, he wanted to feel her lips on his once again, he wanted to hear her voice again. Not the voice he last heard that was full of sadness but the voice he loved to listen to whenever he had his nightmares, his insecure nights. The softness in her tone, the way every laugh of hers would sound ethereal to him, the feist in her words whenever they had their battles. Now all those sounds seem to grow deaf to him. It's been a year, a year without her. A rather long year for him. Everyday he had to wake up to a cold bed, no arms wrapped around him, no view for him to enjoy when he opens his eyes. The way your moments were held in the walls surrounding him, every milestone of your relationship cherished in one household. He felt as if it was mocking him, making him remember the happiness your relationship brought him.
Hope that eases the pain
So you remember to miss me
Before, your house was filled with pictures of you two. Now it was empty, a house for one man when it was supposed to be a house for his ever after with her. Where was his savior? Where are the soft melodies she'd sing to him whenever he had his insecurities drag him down? All these moments he can only replay in his mind.
As he opens the door, he remembers the smile that falls on his lips no matter how exhausted he was, ready to see his girlfriend safe and sound in their own house. He'd catch her asleep on the couch with her favorite blanket cuddled up to a stuff toy he won her in a game.
He lets out a tired sigh before stepping in the shower. He closes his eyes, trying to surpass the way his eyes wanted to shed tears at the sight of her without his side. The more he tries to ignore it, the farther she gets from his view. He only remembers the way he raised his voice at her, the tears that ran down her cheek. The hurtful things that left his mouth, he never meant to say.
Unsaid things only to be said to a wall as his chances were slimming down as time passes. The words he wanted to say only being said when he was intoxicated but the person he badly wanted to say it to wasn't there to listen.
Does the trick for all of the things left unsaid
He didn't dare to face his friends, knowing questions and reactions are the only things he's gonna get from them. They'd be the ones to mention your name when they notice your disappearance. Kirishima knows about the split and has made many attempts to get the blonde back on his feet like he used to but every attempt would just end in bottles on the floor and carrying Bakugos intoxicated body back in your old couch.
Kirishimas heart wanted to cry for him.
Whenever your name was mentioned in missions or groups, he'd noticed the sadness that sets in his eyes and expression while he tries to hide it by being his aggressive self. Even as his best friend, there's nothing that he could do when the only solution to Bakugos heart was you.
Tumblr media
You tried to ignore the fact that every night for a year you drowned out your emotions by overworking yourself and thinking that by being surrounded by lights and alcohol brought you contentment while you had no clue of what your other half was doing. Like him, you craved nothing more than to be with him.
Some have tried to contact you, you tried to sound believable as possible. Trying to sound like the boy you love was still around you pulling pranks behind you or him randomly wrapping his arms around you.
But you're on the other side of the country.
An offer you couldn't possibly lose, not even letting him know where you were. Him only knowing when the news had caught you fighting off villains in a city he can't just run to when he missed you. You knew that distance never fixed anything but at this point is there anything to be fixed? When laid out in front of you two are broken pieces of your own hearts. Scatted in cities where he remembers you by, scattered in his clothes that fit like a dress on you, scattered in streets making a path for you two to retrace your steps and fix what's happened. Hanging onto memories day by day. Trying to grasp a reality that was too good to be true.
All my demons have your smile
Unlike him, your surroundings were new.
Everything was new. You weren't stuck to suffer in the place where your love blossomed, the new environment insisting you to change but the way you saw couples and kids ticked you off to the very least.
December hasn't been this cold than you remember it. You shed a tear or two whenever you overheard one of the heroes ramble on how excited she was that she was engaged. It would've been 6 years with him by next month and a ring should've been placed in your very hands by now knowing the shared conversations you two had about marriage.
Saddened by the thought of it, you head home changing out of your hero clothes. You sat in the train, your exhaustion getting the best of you as you opened your eyes to see Bakugo sitting in front of you but as you blink he was gone. As the train goes under a tunnel, you look at the window as your memories play like some movie scene. You turn to look at the couples that surrounded you and your mind betrays you thinking of a girl that can make Bakugo happy like you did.
The darkness of the train enabled you to cry. You covered your face in your hands as you let out a sob. As a hero you couldn't care if people saw you like this, everyone had a breaking point. You've had enough of today. You continue to cry as you tighten the grip on your sweater and on the necklace that you wore.
"Who knew you could do things like this?" You teased as he taps your nose. You were set on his lap as he brings out a box. His hand caresses your cheek as he looks at you with love, love and nothing more.
"Shut it, dumbass. Now turn around." You rolled your eyes as you turned around, your back facing his chest. He sits up properly, gently moving your h/c aside as a cold piece of jewelry was placed around your neck. Once it was attached, Bakugo pressed light kisses on your shoulder as he whispers for you to face him. When you did, he smiled.
"You look amazing, Y/N." He says with pink painted cheeks. You blushed at his words your hand playing with the necklace.
"What's this for, Katsuki?" You asked as you intertwined your hands with his. He kisses the back of your hand as he looks at you.
"So you'll always have me."
As you wipe your tears, you felt a buzz in the pocket of your jeans. Picking it up the name "kiri<3" flashes before you. Sniffling a bit, you decided to answer.
"Kirishima? Is everything okay?"
Meanwhile on the other line, Bakugos breath hitched at the sound of you. It was another night where he dragged Kirishima to another bar and drown his feelings. He begged Kirishima to dial your number, just to hear it even if it wasn't meant for him.
"Hey Y/N! Sorry if I called a little later than expected, you doing okay? This is really random and unmanly-"
"Kiri it's fine! I'm fine yeah just heading home. How are you by the way?" Bakugo stays silent as he hears your voice. He missed it so much. He hadn't felt this desperate since you left.
"Well I'm doing fine too, Y/N. Guess I kinda just miss my partner in crime." You smiled at his words, finally feeling relieved after your session of crying.
"I miss you too, Eiji. How-"
"Y/N!" A familiar voice suddenly rushing to your ears as you sit up. It's him. Bakugo tries to steal the phone from Kirishima but Kirishima won't give it to him, thinking it was wrong for Bakugo to talk to you in a state like this.
"Bakugo-" The call ends before you can even say anything else. Kirishima sighs as Bakugo notices the call has ended.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOR SHIT HEAD?!"
"WHY CAN'T YOU CALL HER ON YOUR OWN, BAKUGO!" Kirishima shouts. Bakugo is taken aback by his sudden burst of words. Bakugo stays silent as Kirishima puts his phone in the pocket of his jeans.
"If you love her why don't you call her yourself? Make some fucking plans with her, talk it out. You're suffering because you're weak enough to reach out to her. This would've been simple from the beginning when you actually had the balls to talk to her and apologize!"
"If you feels so shitty about Y/N leaving, we're her friends too you know. We also lost her. I always have your back Bakugo, but this time this is your problem." Kirishima leaves your apartment with a sigh of defeat as he glides over your phone number, texting a sorry before he went home. Bakugo had his head hung low, taking in every word he heard.
He's right. He thought.
You had a hand placed on your heart when you heard him. You figured that it didn't end well for Kirishima when the call ended. Your screen flashes before reading the message.
kiri<3: I'm really sorry about that Y/N, but I do miss you. we all do. especially bakugo.
When you were home, your hand traces over the blocked contact of your other half. You smile as you reread your past conversations. But as you hug your pillow shutting the device off, you felt your eyes close remembering the warmth you used to have when he slept beside you.
He came home from a patrol, promising to save as many as he can but ended up saving only half of what he intended to. The cries of people ringing in his ears. He felt low, unworthy, selfish, weak. He couldn't save them, he could've been better. Now he realizes the fear that grows on him that he can't always save you.
Tumblr media
"What the fuck did you say, Katsuki?! You don't get to say shit like I'm not a hero like you! We're both fucking exhausted. I'm asking you for one, one day." You shout.
He wasn't as strong as you. He utters words that mean the complete opposite of what he wanted to say, even denying love when he first experienced it. So scared of feeling emotions since the only thing he relied on was himself. He is strong in battles, the thrill giving him life, excitement. This is what he wanted. To live the life of his idols, to surpass them and show them he meant every word when said he wanted to be #1. What he didn't want was a girl who held his heart with strings. Playing with his emotions, discovering the branches of love. Discovering how his world changed when he fell for the girl he could never reach. He didn't want his heart to be fragile. He wanted it to be tough and unbreakable, a barrier around it where no one can see through his sharp demeanor. But there she was. Breaking every barrier with ease. In this moment, his heart made barriers once again.
"I fucking meant it when I said I don't have any time to be with you anymore. I need to work, Y/N! Why cant you get that through your fucking skull" He shouts back, a finger to your forehead pushing you back. Your cheeks were from the anger that sprung to your spirits. Every part of you was aching with anger. Tears spilling from your eyes as he watches you.
"That's all you ever fucking do Katsuki! Do you just purposely forget that I also work hard and here I am asking for one night with my boyfriend and you're pushing me aside like I'm nothing to you!"
"Nothing?! Maybe you just don't fucking understand what I'm saying! I have my own shit to deal with and I can't always drop everything for your needy ass. Do you need me to pat you on the back for being a good hero? You shouldn't even call yourself a hero when I'm the reason you even made it this far, princess." You closed your eyes as your hands turned white from how much you were tightening them.
Y/N, don't believe it. Please. I'm begging you-
"OF COURSE YOU GOT ME HERE! Call me anything you want. Weak, laid back, unworthy, low, insecure, stupid, worthless, have at it but I'm fucking drowning in my own stress, shitty paper work and patrols. I am a hero. You don't get to fucking remove that title from me. While you got me here, you're forgetting all the shit I did for you!"
"The things you did for me? What, like love? That's nothing to me."
Love.
All the smiles you've given him. The moments where you made him realize that if he wasn't the #1 hero, the only thing that mattered him was you. The memories of you with your head on his shoulder enjoying the sunset while he talks about how much he loves you. The feeling of his hands intertwining with yours as you danced in your living room. The moment where he said he'd catch you no matter what. The moments where you would wake up to his kisses on your face. The feeling when you see him safe and sound as you hug him enjoying life when his love surrounded you. The feeling when you imagined yourself marrying the perfect man for you.The promises. Future plans. The kisses. Never ending hugs. 5 years with the person who made you the happiest, who made you determined, who made you feel like you can conquer anything, who made you believe in love even in the toughest ways.
It was all nothing.
You bite your lip as your head hung low. He hears your sobs and it wasn't enough for him to wake up from all this anger. He needed you just as much as you did, but in this moment he didn't realize it. He thought he needed a break, some silence to drown out the cries of the people he had left behind but now he can only hear his heart shattering. Piece by piece. Torn. With every word he says. With every glance he gives you, seeing you so hurt because of him. He bared no meaning to his words and he hopes you can see that he too needed saving but he notices the drop in your tone. Dull eyes, tear stained cheeks, unsteady breathing.
"I just w-wanted to be with you.. t-to be saved. To be saved from this asshole of a man claiming he loves but me pushes me away like dirt. A man who tells me an empty promise of always being there to catch me. Katsuki, was it all really nothing y-you?" He bites his lip before taking a step forward but you step back, life drained out of you. Every color saturated to liveliness was nothing but black and white now. Storms and heavy weather. Tears and broken hearts.
I can't do this.
"I just can't save you anymore." He whispers but you heard it clear as day. You let out the most painful sob as your knees give in, a thud to the floor as you cover your face in your hands. Now the fear in his head of him never saving you, he only faces the truth that he can't save everyone, even you. Your sobs echoed through the house as he turns around to wipe away his tears, a hand to his pained chest. As his back was turned to you, you left to go to your room. He notices your disappearance as he only sits on the couch, knowing the events that were to happen next. You grabbed a bag stuffing in whatever you could as you continued to release your sorrows. When you were finished you took a last good look on your room. The room where every nightmare was comforted with love, the room where secrets were shared, deep fears, everything. You take a deep breath before opening the door. You see him sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.
-
You both wake up with tears in your eyes as your head weighed a ton, making you grip your pillow with such force, completely unhappy you were greeted this way. You looked up at the mirror to see bags under your eyes, puff cheeks, and a version of you that you despised to see everyday.
Not a single glow of happiness.
You weren't ready to face another tiresome day at the agency but your limbs forced you to knowing it'd be another patrol then by the night some paperwork and then patrolling once again. His words replayed in your mind, still affecting you with how he belittled you as a hero. Sure, you couldn't save millions but you saved hundreds, even if you were on brim of your quirk affecting your mental state, you would still save thousands.
And it pains you that he doesn't even notice how your quirk affects your mental being.
It takes immense focus for you to portray what you needed, and it requires you to be sharp and quick with your mind. Yet, overusing it alters the reality you wanted. Your mind playing a sick game to your overall being, stuck in the darkest part of your mind, leading you the same night that started it all.
But he still wouldn't save you.
-
Bakugo had his vermilion eyes on the road, as the others discussed on the upcoming mission. He didn't even bother to pay interest on where they were going, more focused on fighting with the villain and finishing the job.
Maybe it was the hundredth time today where he thought about you.
He looks at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and his mind leads him to remember your smile and your features he loved to gaze his eyes on. Now, villains and explosions were the only things that clouded his vision or sometimes the sight of his companions, which didn't really help him.
Then the vehicle comes to a stop, his eyes landing on a store. Seen through the glass was a beautiful dress, painted in her favorite color, with the perfect length and dainty design. He smiles to himself, visualizing how stunning she'd look wearing it, especially seeing her skin looking so bright and healthy under the winter atmosphere.
She'd love that. He says to himself, feeling bittersweet that he wanted to buy it, but who would even wear it? He can't just give it to her without having a conversation. Even if it's been nearly a year, how can he prepare for something he avoided?
He steps out of the vehicle, feeling exhausted thinking about her. He hears his companions talk about splitting up so each hero wouldn't be suspected, he agrees with them, not even bothering to give them a snarky comment. He was too occupied with the thought of you in that splendid dress.
He wonders around the city, hands to his pockets. Especially in his hero costume, he received so many stares from the people. He'd either glare back at them or ignore them completely, but this time he just let them stare for as long as they liked. The only pair of eyes he wanted to land on him was yours, your ever stunning ones.
He remembers the moments where the sun beamed perfectly on your eyes, depicting the color with such grace and beauty. He remembers every memory where your eyes were gateways to your emotions, filled with such genuine and love. It even helped him at times where words weren't needed to express the way he felt. He loved how you managed to read him so easily, like a book she's memorized every page of. Even the slightest change in his tone, you were able to pick it up and soon interrogate him if he was okay.
He watches a couple who had boxes in their hands with smiles evident in their eyes and lips. He watches as the man gestures to help the girl but she declines walking ahead of him, he follows behind the girl making sure the boxes wouldn't fall.
"Katsuki stop!" She shouts with a giggle, he ignores her completely, pushing her slightly to make the boxes fall. She completely looses balance as the boxs fall on the floor. She gasps as she runs to punish the blonde as he quickly puts down the boxes as he runs away from her. You can hear her screaming profanities at the man as the couple runs around outside their house.
Bakugo hides from her, eyeing her from his secret spot. He takes the opportunity when he sees her completely confused he was gone, so he takes you by surprise by slinging you over his shoulders, chuckling at how she threw mild punches at his back.
"Babe! How are we gonna finish moving in our stuff!" She says with a laugh, still trying to beg for him to put her down. He spins around making her laugh even more as he sets her on the ground. The sun beams down on them, her eyes glowing so beautifully under the golden light. His hand reaches her cheeks, squishing it lightly as he smiles at her expression.
"Who said we even needed to finish it today? C'mon. We have the house all to ourselves." Katsuki says, as you sighed giving into him. He smirks to himself as he lifted you off the ground once again, swinging you over his shoulders too easily.
"Baby!"
His eyes wander elsewhere, feeling his chest tightening once again at the memories that resurface upon him.
After a long fight with a villain who kept scarring you with their weapon, your mind was completely going to collapse at any minute. You've been creating bullets and barriers for so long you didn't notice how other objects that you didn't need were suddenly made, dropping behind you. You can feel the throbbing pain of your head as you limped to the town. Random objects still were popping up every minute and it annoyed you how your quirk was out of your grasp.
(TW! Hallucination/Panic attack)
You simply wanted water and some first aid kit to make sure you make it to your agency but when you imagined the bottle of water, you immediately acted like it was created but it wasn't. All the things that you thought you made weren't there and you felt your eyes feel droopy as you let your hand hold onto the wall for support. It was starting to alter your reality, making it worse for you to think straight while your thoughts were all tied in loops from overusing it. Your vision blurring at the sight of people who were walking by.
Your mind was growing more and more explosive as you felt pain surround your head. You let out a scream as you felt every part of your head ache as unnecessary objects were still appearing beside you. This scream alerts the people but they chose not to gather around you, unsure what was happening. They were all muttering questions but this only added to the problem as you started panting, harshly closing your eyes trying to avoid any eye contact from them. You heard a loud shout before your mind completely goes blank, feeling like you were shot. It happened all too fast as you fall to your knees, mind empty and damaged, your system completely failing to support you as a person was seen pushing through the sea of people.
Then, their eyes met.

Hello loveys! Here is chapter four of
‘Tis the Damn Season
~Let It Snow~
Thanks to @dirtystyles for the beta and late night video mining thanks it Night Niki!
Enjoy! Reblogs are Love!!
"We have a problem," Harry states as he comes in the room. Emma's heart nearly stops and she feels exposed. Not just because she is naked, though she is literally bare, but because he's just been downstairs to talk to the landlady and Emma is terrified of what the hell the problem could be.
He was just downstairs, while she was luxuriating in the sheets scented like them. What could he have encountered there that would lead to this deadpan voice and monotone face?
Emma's mind is good at this, at possibilities, it's why she's good at her studies and internships, she can run through lots of scenarios in her head and then plug in logistics and costs and benefits. She doesn't even need a spreadsheet unless you get beyond a handful of variables.
Variable one - she's gonna think of them as variables because problems are more nerve wracking - there are fans outside. They've heard from someone, through a grapevine or hedgerow, that Harry stays here a couple days each Christmas.
Emma can see a way out of this, though it requires sending Harry to be the sacrificial lamb. He will have to go to the altar and sign things, which is better than being beheaded, and take pictures and give hugs and lead them away. Then Emma can linger, maybe eat lunch in the pub garden and leave when the coast is well and truly clear. It's not how she wants to spend their last day this break together, but it gets them both out of here unexposed, if not totally unscathed.
This is the best case scenario.
Variable two - while he was downstairs Gemma texted. She's cottoned on. Well, Emma is totally afraid and halfway sure her friend can sense that she's sleeping with her little brother every chance she gets and hasn't been honest about it. Emma knows Harry has not been forthright either. The puzzle pieces can't be hard to put together. They've gotten lazy. No, the word is addicted. The fact that they both always disappeared and went dark for the same number of days was more than noticeable the first time, it wasn't a pattern yet thought. An easy to recognize and predict four three year old pattern. Emma is good at those too, patterns. So is Gemma, all those themes, all those books.
They'd talked about it, she and Harry, that second year, their first meet up with intent. Agreed they would be limited, controlled, discreet. They would meet late, after pub crawls, and only get together after Gemma went back to London.
She's not sure who they were fooling.
Because then, instead, they just holed up, skipped social events, turned up moments apart from one another and left the same way. Basically they'd ignored every one of their rules, the ones they'd designed to keep their secret. They couldn't help themselves, nor stay away. She had to sit on her hands and never look at him to keep from touching or kissing in public. Harry didn't even bother.
Last year, Gemma had made a few comments, about them flirting, about Harry peacocking around Emma, about them leaving at the same time. About his hands on her.
Emma remembered when they'd pulled themselves out of each other's arms, him to go home, her to a meet up with Gem and some others. He was definitely less stealthy, not sleeping at home and all, but he insisted on holding her while he fell asleep and waking up to her kisses. What was she supposed to do but melt?
Emma had been late, because of course she was, she'd almost been out the door when he'd asked to be kissed goodbye. "I just put on lipstick." She'd shaken her head, and then his face had taken on that impish hue and he'd kissed her lipstick and clothes off. The waiting Uber had left without her and she lost her perfect 5 star rating.
She'd come in, flushed apologizing and lying about her mother needing her to go to the shops. Gemma had pushed her a drink and given her a look. Like she knew, why Emma was late and Harry was sneaking out to sleep in a shitty pub bed. Then later, she'd said, "Harry's up to something, someone, he's been staying out all night again. My mum isn't that bothered, but I just want to know who." The look she'd turned on Emma was nothing short of an invitation.
Emma could have confessed. But it felt like a final chapter, a bookend she wasn't ready for, so she'd shrugged and suggested maybe he had a girl in Manchester, or a boy. It had been a joke, but Gemma hadn't blinked, and Emma wasn't surprised either, so that seemed interesting. Luckily the conversation flowed beyond that when a new old friend arrived.
Gemma kept giving her looks though.
Emma did feel like she was wearing a scarlet H.
And she'd come to the party with it two days ago. The letter may not have been apparent on her sweater, the kinda ugly but also perfect Christmas sweater she'd found at the thrift store one day. It was red, the threads of it shot through with silver, like it was made of tinsel. And it was big, she was wearing it as a dress. The expediency of last year's dress fed her lunacy this year. They should definitely control themselves this time. Thank god the door had been locked.
The big H over the heart of her sweater cum dress was probably only visible to her.
And possibly to Harry, from the way he had zeroed in on her. He'd greeted her when she came in the kitchen door with a lingering kiss on her cheek. She was totally breathless just from seeing him. He had grown. He was a bit taller and seemed to have slimmed down. And his hair was brushing his shoulders in this way that could only be described as princley. She was waiting and hoping for true love's kiss.
That was probably why, when he looked around naughtily and scooted her over 5 steps to be under the mistletoe, she hadn't even been able to find an eye roll of protest. The kiss had tasted like home, because he was the best thing about Christmas and coming home to Holmes Chapel. He was what she longed for on days that literally didn't end in Iceland, cozy nights with him, under the blankets near a fire. It lingered, his lips on hers, the slick of his Christmas cookie scented tongue. He held her a moment later, the hug lasted too long as well.
"Oooh, Harry get off!" Gemma had harrumphed.
Emma had been sure her face was bright red, but Harry had just rolled with it, pointed to the mistletoe, and said, "Seemed more appropriate than a full make out!" He'd pulled back and tossed that comment over his shoulder but winked at her as his hands dropped. It had seemed to satisfy for that moment. That was before Emma had ignored rules and definitely fallen into her pattern. The Boar's Head on Boxing Day and maybe a few more. Hell, even the landlady recognized them and told them she'd saved their preferred room for them. Gemma was quick, sharp as a knife blade and could cut like one too, when hurt.
Maybe Gemma had gotten sick of the unexplained sober night disappearing acts and called him out.
Would they come clean? Did that mean this was over? Did that mean this was beginning?
Emma wasn't even sure what she wanted. This was the worst case scenario, that those they loved and were deceiving knew.
Or, maybe they knew for an even worse reason.
Variable three - it had gotten out to the press. Someone had snapped a photo of them kissing before the "we were just hugging" excuse. Or got them together here in a more salacious situation. Going to a room together - no - that can't be right. They meet here, behind closed doors, no one can get to them here, it's like their fortress. Nobody knows. Would the landlady sell them out?
Emma takes a deep breath, she's just given herself some very rapid fire and escalating worst case scenarios. She needs more data. "What's wrong?" Her voice is steady.
Maybe not steady enough, he looks up with his brow quirked and his mouth a bit drawn.
He reads her, she feels him open her up like the spine of a book. She hopes he doesn't ask. How long would it take to explain the crazy journey her mind just took? Instead he just tilts his head and gives her a naughty smile. "We're stuck!" His eyebrows raise like he's just told her he found a stash of herbs that act like viagra.
"Huh?" For as quick a thinker as she is, she feels really behind. May have been that smile's promise, or that his news is simple, innocuous, not full of consequences.
"Come look." His head motions to the window he is standing in front of. He puts her in front of him immediately and hooks his chin over her shoulder. "We're snowed in!" He's gleeful.
"You'll miss your flight." She sounds worried. This would stress her out.
"I will, but I won't miss out on you! And I can't get my ass chewed because this is an act of God!"
"An act of God to get you laid!" She laughs. She's joking.
He doesn't look amused. "I already got laid." He tries for a playful eye roll, it doesn't land, like when you jump off a swing and miss, tumble over, twist an ankle. "I'm excited, how cozy is this! We get to hang out for at least another day. We can order food in and stay in bed and watch movies! Everyone else will be snowbound too so we won't have to put on real clothes or anything at all and go to the pub or family dinner or anything. Just us two with no obligations!"
He looks gleeful to have extra time off. She shouldn't begrudge him, he works hard and so does she. "What movie do you want to watch?" He's already digging for his laptop and sweats, he's down to a tee, tossing her the one she slept in.
There's a part of Emma that thinks she should bring up all the winding trails her mind just ran, instead, she smiles and catches the love bug he's infected with. "You pick, baby." Baby, wow, she thought she only said that in her head, or when she's under him. She'd be happy if he doesn't notice. He does, and the way he looks over it makes her happier.
Hours later, after he calls down for shepherds pie and tea he says, "We should get pints'"
"I don't like beer."
"Then wine!"
"Ok, wine." They usually only had tipsy tumbles at the party. This was intentional; on her part at least, she liked to remember their limited time together so she could live off it all year. "I feel like I need to warn you, wine makes me feel sexy."
"Oh, oh no, what will I do?" He put his hand to his heart then to his head and reclined in an arch that belied his 'I don't dance' claims. Maybe not yet, but one day he'd be a dancer. "I know you will launch an assault on my virtue!" He stuck his tongue to the cover of his smirking mouth. She'd take that invitation.
"Yeah. I should make a start on that job now!" She advances on him with all the moves she put into being the best footballer in sixth form. Harry runs from her, but the room is small and cozy and cluttered, so he quickly tumbles over. He groans from the floor.
"Oh, are you hurt babe?" She's on her knees looking his perfect face over for forming bruises when he laughs and pulls her down on top of him.
"Nope, fine and dandy!"
"Dandy is right!" She secretly loved his evolving look. But had to take him down a few pegs regularly.
"Heeey! I had to call a foul, you are way faster than you look!"
"How does one look fast?" She's talking, he's kissing.
"When you look like you have moves," he moved his eyebrows in illustration, "and I'm like a newborn gazelle."
"Bullshit, I think you just get distracted."
He blinked and just stared for a moment. "Nobody's ever said that but my mum." Emma wasn't sure what that meant, but it meant something. The deep kiss and eye contact said so. As did his downshift.
They'd been on 4th gear headed to 5th when she'd started joking. Now he was back to third and decelerating.
"Cmon," he broke the kiss to say and came back like her lips were honey to his bee. It took him three lip locks to get to the next words. "Let's go get cozy and watch something."
She barely remembers the movie he put on. But she'll always remember him narrating it in her ear and his comment on the aesthetic.
"Do you like the costumes and set design or the actual plot?" She tilted her head back to ask and found her lips had the same magnets in them his had earlier. Must be contagious like his glee for snow days.
"Both, but I guess ideally they are equally great, but I'd say the latter in this case."
"You know, pop star, for a boy who left school early, you're awfully cerebral." She meant this as a compliment.
He blushed and gave her a shy smile. "Nah, I'm a lad."
There was something about the way he said it, like this was one of those beliefs everyone had about themselves that they didn't really share, but affected them.
Emma climbed up over him. "Hey, you're not allowed to put yourself down around me, ok?"
"Being a lad isn't necessarily a bad thing." That rang true, he believed that.
"Yeah, I agree with you. But you aren't just a lad Harry."
He looks askance for a second. "I mean, I'm not like, a genius or anything," he nudged her, "not like some people."
"I'm not a genius." He made a face. "I'm not. I'm smart, but more than that I'm dedicated, and you obviously are as well. You work really hard Harry, and you make people really happy. You make great music. You know that, right? That what you do has merit? That it matters?"
"I'm not saving the planet." He looked deeply at her.
"Neither am I." He scoffed. "No, really. I'm just trying to do what I can to make things a little better. And you are too."
"Yeah, but I want to do more, like more good."
"And you will, you do know you're like 21 right." Sometimes she needed this reminder too. He was even younger than her.
"Not quite."
"Stop reminding me I'm older than you." She ruffled his hair.
"Older and wiser."
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Styles."
Harry reversed their positions, she was under him, looming blue and beautiful above her. "I dunno, I like my geography."
The kisses he was applying to her collarbone were pretty compelling.
"I guess I'd have to see a little more flattery," she sighed.
"I think you're the smartest girl I've ever met." That kiss was right below her ear.
She made an encouraging sound.
"I love the color of your eyes when there is soft light behind you." That kiss was to the same spot on the other side. It was also very specific.
"I miss you and the way you smell 11 months out of the year." That one was on the hollow at the base of her throat.
"If I could, I'd just follow you from Amsterdam to Iceland so that I got to wake up to you every morning." That one she felt required a follow up, but that kiss was on her mouth and escalated to all of the other positions his held.
It wasn't until the next morning, when they we're still snowbound, cozy, and together that she thought to say, "You know you could do anything you wanted, be anything you wanted. You're limitless, Harry."
She didn't tell him she'd also love if he chose to follow her between her school and her hoped for career. Just like she hoped he would never tell her he wanted her to follow him on tour. It was too limited.
She wished they were limitless together instead of on the divergent roads they'd chosen.
