so i said that i’d add in the new muses, but i haven’t done it yet. two reasons for it being: 1. i don’t have my old aesthetic psds saved, so if i wanna add new muses to google docs i gotta redo all the pics and icons there and that’s a lot of work. 2. i accidentally got hooked on sims 4 real bad

Masks Under the Chandelier | Caleb/Reader
Tumblr media
About: A fic idea wherein you and Caleb meet months later in a gala. To you, this person is a stranger you just met. But to this person, you were more than that...
Pairing: Caleb/Reader
Notes: Might actually write this tbh... Caleb is my favorite ngl hahaha...
Warnings: Spoilers for Chapter 4! Please do not read if you haven't read it yet!
Tumblr media
Imagine there is a gala or some high class event where you have to attend, perhaps as part of the event's security detail. With all the Metafluxes and Wanderers going about, it's important that the organizers call a few hunters to protect them from harm. But them going in uniform will no doubt alert the guests so you have to go undercover and dress up in a formal party outfit, a gown or whatever you wish to wear.
And by chance, because of all the important people there, the organization that kidnapped Caleb (since he is not dead idc what the game says) is invited to attend too. So they send Caleb, undercover of course, to attend.
Caleb donned a new persona, dyed his hair, wear contacts and all to ensure no one would recognize him. He attends and lo and behold, he bumps into you while wandering the event hall.
While Caleb has a new persona, his voice is still unchanged and when Caleb, in shock, whispers your nickname, cause- wow you looks amazing-, you turn toward him in shock and-
"Pipsqueak?" "Caleb?" "I-" Caleb almost responded to your call, but quickly remembered that he isn't Caleb now... He could never be anymore. "Sorry miss...?" The hope that was evident in your eyes dimmed, and his heart broken all over again when your eyes softened, a sad smile gracing your face. "I'm sorry, I thought... I thought you were someone I knew for a moment." You said, the distance between you and him so close, yet so far. There was an invisible wall between you and him now, and he hated it.
You and him talk for a bit, about why you both were there. Caleb keeps getting distracted by you because he has never seen you like this before, dolled up and oh so beautiful under the crystal chandeliers. There were many times where he almost slipped up and mention something that only the both of you know, but he caught himself. And god does he hate it. He's your best friend from childhood dammit (yes zayne exists but he likes to think you prefer him over zayne), why can't he...
Why can't he be close to you anymore?
It's ironic, Caleb thought, that you were telling him, a stranger, things that he as Caleb never knew. He asked you about who you have mistaken him for, and the answer shook him to his core.
"My childhood friend. He is... well, was, my best friend." You say wistfully, staring off into the crowd and imagining what would it be like if he was still here with you. He was about to make another comment, but stopped when you opened you mouth to continue. "And perhaps... If he was still around... We would've been something much more than that." The guilt and sadness that pierced through him then was so overwhelming it almost made him kneel. And yet, like a glutton for punishment, he asked. "You think you two would've been lovers?" "Not without us being honest with each other for once. But eventually... Yes."
You two talk for a bit more until you both feel a spike in the air, your watch that was disguised as a bracelet alerting you to wanderers in the area. You tell him to not alert everywhere because it will incite panic, and made your exit.
Unbeknownst to you, he trails after you, just like the time before the whole explosion happened. He watches you take down the wanderers with ease but then he sees a wanderer spawning just behind you, and without second thought, he uses his own evol to fling the wanderer away.
But before you could turn to see who it was who saved you, he hides behind cover. And before you could approach the spot, the wanderer stands up again, giving him ample time to slip away.
He watches you return to your post afterwards, and when you spot him again, he asks you whether you're okay and-
"Yes I am, thank you for your concern. Though..." You trailed off, your mind still stuck on the mystery of who saved you back there. "Is there something wrong?" "No! No. I just... No, it's nothing, probably just my imagination." You said, looking away and into the crowd of guests who were unaware of the Wanderer sighting, missing the look of guilt that was plastered all over his face.
Caleb, even under a different persona, was constantly worried about you. He waited for you to report to captain Jenna and escorted you home after the whole event. Before opening the door to your apartment however, you turned towards him.
"You don't have to do this, you know." "I insist." He expected you to open the door and leave, and you two will never see each other again, but instead, you looked towards him and smiled. "I thought about what you said. I think... I think you're right. I should start moving on." You said, and before he could ask why you were telling him this, you handed him your phone. "If it's alright, can we exchange numbers?"
Caleb knew he shouldn't do this. The organization specifically said that he was not to contact you at all costs. But well, Caleb reasoned with himself, they didn't say he cannot contact you while under a new persona. So he gave you his number as well.
The moment you entered your apartment and him in the elevator, he leaned against the wall and sighed.
What the fuck did he just get himself into?

DUDE, THE DRAGONS YOU TAKE INSPO FROM ARE SO COOL?? Woahhhh, now I have two new games to reference from. Personally, I take a lot of reference from DOTA: Dragon's Blood and a little bit of Dragon's Dogma for the dragon heart/weakness idea. (Been having a dragon au brewing in my head for RE ngl) How do you think your Leons would've got infected? I'm just asking cause usually people do something along the lines of 'this guy got infected and turned into a dog hybrid'! Or something like that. (Genetics would apply to that too, possibly???) I guess this also applies to Las Plagas Leon, but honestly the way he could've got infected could be very different from RE4/RE4R if you want to go that route. (Honestly this goes for all you hybrid Leons in general, so if you wanna answer don't complicate it too much so I don't make your brain or something die bc of me 😭)
JUST WANTED TO ASK THISSSSS!!
Receives your heart and throws millions back at you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I havent really seen anything for those two games you've mentioned... I'd love to try Dragon's Dogma though I think?
I grew up on Dragon Age so those two dragons got a special place in my heart. The ArchDemon is crazy awesome and spooky looking!!! I also love Flemmeth's dragon design as well, but I didn't use hers for anything.
Tumblr media
My plaga Leon specifically was infected through RE4-- just with a major twist and fuckery on my part.
Leon was given a Queen Plaga instead of a normal one in order to subdue his will far easier. Saddler had known based on what he'd been told by his people that Leon was formidable and unstoppable... so he ordered Menendez to "convert" him with one. Also Saddler was very interested in expanding the holy body's hierarchy (not in a weird, breedy way though) since the Queen had no host that could take it's will and power. This is based on the Remake version of events because I haven't played OG4 yet... I have it on my pc.
Krauser's own actually reacts to the Queen Plaga
The Plaga he was given hadn't been killed when he was treated... instead it had gone dormant in shock. The treatment wasn't in time and also the plaga was just too strong to be taken out. It re-emerges once he's in the United States during his quarantine post-mission.
The US government was indeed very interested in the Plagas once they were informed of them... and Leon having a Queen specimen was very... promising. Especially because the Queen is independent from Saddler and that means Leon can command soldiers. (Which is why I have BOW armor Leon... He's deployed with Verdugos on missions. Also I want to have Leon vs. Chris at some point w it cause it sounds SUPER COOL!!! Chris wouldn't know its Leon though hehe)
C-Virus.... I've always liked to use C-virus for shit so I was like: Government experiments on Leon a little bit in some super soldier program designed to use Las Plagas as biological enhancements. They create their own Verdugos and Leon can command them as a Queen bee can. They also discover that C-Virus and Plagas are pretty compatible. It gives Plaga Leon the ability to change as far as needed... and revert back without much issues.
Leon's DNA is used for alot of the projects so everything is actually traceable back to him
Plaga Leon is actually not that strong. Chris can still go toe to toe easily with him. He's only stronger when he's more transformed... then uhhh survive :3c
The BSAA heavily pushes into investigations of the US Government and eventually the DSO over Human Rights violations among other things involving the creation and use of BOW's for their own interests. Chris actually pressures Leon over it alot... but Leon is utterly terrified of saying anything because its extremely dangerous and top secret information (also he was ahem.. conditioned to not spare a peep).
The Magenta eyes were an intentional design choice because red is kinda corny imo and also i thought it was cool :3c
KSDFJSLKFJSL AAAA HEARTS!!!

Hi, Naff! Hope you’re having a lovely day <3 So in a completely unusual turn of events, I was thinking about Sleuth Jesters again (shocking, I know). And as someone who personally can’t write major character death scenes but can occasionally read them, I’ve had a deep appreciation for how you handled that in Fire on Fire. Which prompted me to wonder what would have happened if Moon had insisted on being the one to take Eclipse’s celestial wire after all. Would he have been able to actually follow through on that?
I’ve just been thinking so much about Moon struggling with what he knows he has to do, and it’s like he’s being torn in two having to say goodbye to his brother like this. It feels like it’d be poetic if he realized he couldn’t bring himself to do it, until maybe Eclipse took Moon’s hand in his own and then silently wrapped both their hands around his celestial wire while staring up at him. Big brother fixing one last mistake if it means saving his family, broken as they are.
But maybe not without one last reminder that the vigilante is his. You know, for consistency’s sake, of course.
Hi, babe! ♥ I am, I hope you are, too!
Oh goodness, thank you so much! Ngl, writing the death scene was super intimidating to me but I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!
Oh, what an angsty thought! It would happen pretty much as you described. The Vigilante would try to walk past Moon but he'd stop them, and tell them to stay with Sun.
This is Eclipse. He has to face him, even if it's impossible.
Moon would try, he would try so hard, but when he's looking down at his brother trapped in the flames, it's Eclipse who guides him to the celestial wire in his chassis, because he knows Moonie. Despite his anger, and his darker tendencies, Moonie still sees big brother.
Eclipse knows Sunny is waiting on this. It's what will bring him back after Eclipse sent him away. It's not what he wanted, so he'll fix it. He'll do one last job for his brothers.
But even as Moon prepares to tear it free, with Eclipse's hands wrapped over his, Eclipse spits out a static-filled rasp.
"They're mine."
That's what gives Moon the strength to wrench out the celestial wire.

Gonna rant about this on main cuz why not. It's my account lmao.
Anyway. Idk how long this'll get so rambling below cut.
In MLP:FiM I always got the vibe that Luna, even after the "Luna Eclipsed" episode in season 2, never got the love, attention, or credit she deserved in the show itself. I'm not going to blame any one specific character (even tho I don't like Celestia, that's for different reasons.)
First thing I noticed when I got older is that no lunar imagery is really present? Mostly in the architecture. The buildings, banners, etc. we see in the background. Most of it is a pretty abstract design, or sun related.
Luna's WHOLE existence was boiled down to ONE traumatic life event, that turned into a fucking child's tale??? Damn, that would sting...
Even when she comes back, later in the show (before the Canterlot Castle redesign), she has NO THRONE??? Celestia didn't make room for her in a castle she (assumingly) already knew she would come to live in, after being reformed, but never made space for her? Like ever???? Why???
⬆️ Thinking about it, before the castle redesign, there's VERY little lunar-related imagery at all present. Not shocking, ngl.
Luna pretty much doesn't exist throughout the show unless it's a part of the plot. She's never really mentioned, no one ever swears by her name (like how some swear by Celestia's name), etc. etc.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how Celestia doesn't take her sister's experiences seriously. They act like they're on even ground. They aren't... There's clear favoritism/advantage that Celestia has, which Luna doesn't have, and won't have.
⬆️ Again, CANNOT stress this enough! It took 1000 years of separation, having a strained relationship for who knows how long, a switch of cutie marks/magic, and a whole ass EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN for her to give her sister a SLIGHT bit of credit towards the end of one episode. (A Royal Problem, season 7)
The fact that Celestia has like... What? One royal celebration? (Two, actually, Twilight calls one of them her "One-versery") That were founded on the sun, history, and magic. Luna's one celebration, "Nightmare Night" is based off of, again, one main traumatic event, that was watered down to scare small children.
⬆️ Ya'll remember when Luna didn't lower the moon in "Horse-play" from season 8, because it was still night, so when the sun was raised during the play, it pushed the moon out of the sky? Everybody cheered? Luna didn't look happy tho. Great example. Luna just would have been sucker-punched with magic for pulling a reversed version of that.
⬆️ Fucking speaking of which, why did Celestia even celebrate/allow the Summer Sun Celebration to exist? Who created it? Why? Talk about a slap in the face. (For context: "The first Summer Sun Celebration was celebrated not long after Nightmare Moon's defeat and banishment, the event mainly commemorating Celestia's defeat over her foe.")
⬆️ It took until season 6 for the tradition to be rewritten, btw.
In conclusion, I guess that's why I never cared for Celestia much. I also just genuinely hate the "regal loving motherly sun" and "edgy overshadowed moon" dynamic. It's boring, overdone, and never sits right with me.

I may be a little discouraged from posting these days but it's honestly really nice to see myself posting as much as I do - and esp to see how much ive written during all this time. this is aside from all the logs i do bc thatd just add further to my word count, but hdhfjdjd really despite the horrors, i'll always have writing. or well, writing's just been such a huge part of my life that if i cannot write then I'm not myself anymore. njdjrjd and my friend nick has mentioned this too that i dont seem like myself if i dont have a wip and all that jfjdndd
• i hate to say the rafayel birthday event made me embarrassingly happy but it really did 🙈
• speedwriting a fic. much shorter than something i wrote earlier but like !! idk i havent felt that surge of inspiration that was fun lmao wish that happened more often
• getting another message from a job i applied to that might be interested in hiring me. the positive is this ones a little more interesting than the one i did a recent interview with but same general position. still very 👀

I hope you know what I said to cakotopia counts for you and everyone else involved in this. Beating back brainwashing plots is an absolute jam of a story trope that can be really good, and you’re doing a Very Good Job with it. (-spectator anon)
( ngl I'm very shocked my overcomplication of some of this stuff hasn't turned more people off-- with this many players and good ideas coming in left and right, I'm trying my hardest to make sure everything gets touched on, like Legato shooting Greenie being next in line on my list once the doublemint twins figure their shit out, because it would be an absolute shame to leave out the pieces the Rescue Team has provided.
Thank you for saying this, Spectatornon. And as an aside: I can't recommend going into an event without other people in the think tank if anyone is now thinking of their own timed events! It's a lot easier with others to bounce ideas off of and I'm so, so grateful to everyone who decided they wanted in, to the point where they made a counter event. This was just supposed to be a dumb little idea and it blew up in the best way. It's been fantastic and so much bigger than I could've foreseen or even hoped for.
I'm also grateful to everyone for helping me with a more behind the scene issue that ended up reaching more people than it should have, with this event as the catalyst for my own realization. Everyone had my back and it made things a lot easier.
Genuinely, everyone, thank you. )

Idk what to say here so....
More Punch Out related lucid dreams i had WHOOO!
Ok context before i start because for sone reason the "plot" on these ones changed from the one before and it, quite litterally needs context:
Ok, for some reason i DON'T work for the WVBA like before, no work wise association with them.
But, it does deal with one of my jobs. Ok so i work for the #1 haunted house in my state, but the owners of this haunt runs another haunted house in a different state where we usually run special events since it's an indoor haunt and has heating and all of that.
Apparently there was a private event going on and my managers wanted me and my mom, and sone of my haunt friends, to come, gave us no context what was going on but we went anyways because we were free and got curious what was going on.
Found out later that, apparently, my managers offered the WVBA to let the boxers (and i mean ALL of them... Except OCS for some reason which is... Odd actually but oh well) come over and meet some actors without haunt makeup and costume/explore the haunt before hours (why exactly i have no idea, nor is it my business tbh)... And they accepted. My managers wanted me there because, without makeup/not acting I'm... Not menacing or scary, at all, plus I'm considered the main "banshee" of one of the haunts so they thought it'd be fun to have me around just doing whatever and possibly scream occasionally if i had enough voice for it (... I did because it was a dream, but you get the point)
Anyways, onto the dream moment thingies!
Ok so... For context, all of the boxers were wearing casual clothing. Just whatever they wanted to wear they could, there was no kinda dress code or anything.
^ This part does play in. Because Narcis was there and wearing more "casual" (unnecessarily fancy compared to everyone else but still) clothing, but for some reason it was still in the same colors as his boxing outfit... That green does not go well with the red/yellow/purple colors he has going on btw.
^ yeah i visibly cringed seeing the sudden green in the color combo and my friend noticed and laughed at my reaction
Accidentally scaring the absolute fuck outta Mr. Sandman... Who at the same time scared the fuck outta me.
^ in other words we accidentally scared the fuck outta each other by me quickly turning around a corner and not hearing him there beforehand
^^ both of us ended up apologizing to each other (despite it being my fault and completely taking the blame either way) and chit chatted a lil bit before going our separate ways in the haunt
Apparently in this dream I've actually met/befriended Heike (how exactly I'm trying to figure out) and eventually lost contact, years before they were a boxer.
^ Heike still remembered me which... Genuinely shocked me hearing someone's voice i don't recognize yell my birth name and get tackled hugged-
Ngl i was around Heike, Birdie, and Mac (not purposely, but all three are around my age over here... At least headcanon wise for Birdie) most of the time if i was around people at all and not helping out/wandering around the haunt myself since I'm rarely at that haunt myself
^ met both Birdie and Mac via Heike and got along with both of them
Apparently I met Aran as well pre-event. How exactly was... Even more vague then how i met Heike actually. He mentioned something about a concert but that's still vague because of my heavily mixed music taste.
^ yes, he's hella chaotic, and the only one of the boxers purely referring to me as "Banshee"
The whole "something is rattling in Hoy's staff" thing came back. This time was confusing me because i didn't know where it was coming from and slowly driving me crazy.
^ I was with the mini group i mentioned before, asked what it was and they all looked at me like i was crazy (... And fair enough)
^^ turns out pretty much all of the boxers kinda tune the rattling out subconsciously, so i wasn't going crazy they just were tuning it out
Apparently i wasn't aware that Great Tiger can ACTUALLY float so i was just looking at the ground he was floating over and slyly trying to see how he was doing that (obviously actual magic but apparently dream me didn't know that)
^ apparently i said, and i quote (to my manager who was leading me somewhere to help out with something i forgot what exactly), "Are we NOT gonna talk about the guy floating over there?!"
^^ apparently (learned this info from Birdie and Mac because he recognized my voice) Tiger and a few others heard me and started laughing because of how sudden it was and the fact my voice was becoming farther away mid sentence (i was running after my manager)
Super Macho Man did accidentally blind me with his necklace(s, he was wearing multiple... I'm guessing that all of them were made of real gold)-
^ No clue if he realized if he did or not, but i said a "What da fuck" in the most gremlin like voice before stepping back and tripping over a loose wood board and falling (i was fine beyond a good sized bruise on my forearm... And temporary blindness)
^^ Apparently Nick & Rick heard me and started quietly laughing... And I'm still not sure if i should be proud (because Nick is, according to Mac, very hard to make laugh) or embarrassed about that because how i managed that

That was amazing :0 I'm requesting out of curiosity? Perhaps, Scaramouche, Xiao And Diluc with a Nezuko kamado!S/o?
Nezuko! reader x Scaramouche, Xiao and Diluc
Pronounce: She/him/they, no pronounce mentioned so i won't either!
Warning: Slight spoilers for Nezuko, Xiao and Diluc, violence (a little bit noting concerning)
A/n: Moshi moshi~ sweetie, thank you so much for the compliment! it means a lot to me <3 And yes a very interesting request, the touch-starved tsunderes. Kinda sad not many people ask for the genshin females >:(
Please check my rules!! You can find the rules/request page in my masterlist that is pinned on my blog >:)
Scaramouche
First time meeting:
Meeting him well was quite..eventful...the fandango man isn't very nice as we all know but what made him not yell at you? Maybe your calming presence? We don't know.
As you were just calmly sleeping near the training area for the harbingers, he stomped over to you.
He woke you up and got ready to yell at you, but you just calmly patted his head with a smile.
Scaramouche.exe. has stopped working
He exploded in red and then yelled at you to stop doing that, but you just kept coming back to him to do that.
He liked it.
When you two get together:
Ah yes, our aggressive fandango man has acquired an s/o.
Everyone questioned why such a sweet and cute person like you got together with you. Because he is hot asf.
You usually initiate affection, and he aggressively accepts it with a red face.
Since he has a busy job he doesn't really have time to go on dates but when he has breaks or time to spend with you he brings little gifts.
He does think you are lazy and usually reprimands you for that, you just growl at him and go back to sleep.
He is very bad at comforting you when you tell him about the people you lost, but at least he will try and be more gentle with you.
His anger slightly dims when you enter the room;
Scaramouche glared at the fatui agent in front of him, anger swirling in his eyes, the fatui agent trembled under the small man's gaze. Opening his mouth to yell at the poor guy, the door to the room opened and a person entered. The anger in Scaramouche’s eyes decreased and a smile appeared, the fatui agent fainted on the spot out of fear.
When he finds out that you are protective over him he will be very smug about it.
The little brat will tease you about it.
But he will be even more smug (and a little scared) when he sees you fighting someone for him.
will boast about you and how you are defending him.
Will bark at people who even look at you wrong /srs
He does have a soft spot for you, but he acts all tsundere.
A cute relationship and he secretly is a big simp for you (but don't tell him I said that) and he tries his best to be less aggressive to you, you don't mind though you give him affection and then go to sleep lmao.
Xiao
First time meeting:
He was sitting on top of Wangshu inn when he heard someone approaching him. He wanted to teleport away but the person's scent was what he found quite different from other Mortals.
When you came into view he was kind of shook like who are you, and what are you doing here??
You just calmly walked towards him, and he really just tensed up like a cat.
When you were in front of him, he knew you were very cute but ma’am, sir, person what are you doing?
He was even more surprised when you cupped his cheeks (the ones on ur face perv!) and just gently smiled at him.
That moment he felt as if all the voices were just in the back of his mind and the pain in his body subdued, he declared you an angel on the spot.
Ngl he was about to cry on the spot
You often came back and he just basked in your comfort each time.
When you two get together:
It would be quite difficult since he is after all the conquer of demons.
Yes he has conquered your demon heart...okay i'll stop
He is quite surprised when he finds out about what you are, but..you seem quite laid back so he lets it be.
You both have lost many things and loved ones, although you take more care of him, comforting when needed and such.
He feels angry that you put him above you, like stop what are you doing?? He doesn't want you to see him as weak and wants you to take care of him.
But it doesn't matter because you want him to be happy and feel good.
PDA isn't something Xiao is very fond of but he does like it when you two are alone and you just hold his hand with the sweetest smile, he is stunned each time with your kindness.
You two don't go on dates often but you two just sit together or hug, you also love to make flower crowns and give them to him.
He doesn't like it but for you..yes only for you he will put it on.
You also like to take naps next with him, he doesn't actually sleep he just watches you with the fondest look in his eyes.
He also gives you adepti amulets.
You are very protective over him, when in battle you will protect him, (even though he doesn't need it)
Like he will be shocked, his heart just stopped, his organs failed him, his eyes popped out of his socket, jaw flew to the floor, brain dead on the spot, bones turned to mush-. All in all he is shocked when you basically socked the demon out of existence, and you looked very...um...scary.
You growled and when you turn to him, he thinks for a hot second if you are going to obliterate him from existence as well, but then your eyes meet and he can see how your whole expression changed from an angry one into a happy one.
Y/n: 😡 👹 🤼‍♂️ 🔪 --sees Xiao---> 🤗 🥺 🧎‍♂️ 💍 💓
Xiao: 🧍 The demon: 💀
He is very shocked at your display of strength, but nevertheless pleased that you know how to protect yourself.
The relationship is quite cute and heartwarming since our poor touch-starved bby Xiao needs love and affection<3
Diluc
First time meeting:
It was at night when he was doing his Batman dark knight hero business when he saw a person being ambushed by some hillichurls.
Heading over there to vanquish the hillichurls, the person turned around angrily and with brute strength alone slayed the hillichurl.
To say he was shocked was an understatement, he stands there looking at them shocked when they turn to him.
He cocks his head to the side with the person mimicking him, asking if they were alright.
The person walked towards them and he noticeably tensed up, you however walked towards him and when you stopped in front of him he looked at you in confusion and suspicion.
Taking his hand in yours you gently caressed it, he found this weird comfort in you while you were a complete stranger.
When you two get together:
A lot of heartwarming and comforting moments.
You both have lost a lot of people you loved. While he isn't the best at comforting but his presence is very comforting to you.
While you give him a lot of comfort with your affection, he is a touch starved individual so be careful with him.
He is quite an uptight person while you are the opposite, sometimes it irritates him that you are so lazy/laid back but it also gives him some sort of relaxation.
When he goes to work at the winery you usually take a nap at one of the tables in the back or you just wander over towards the bar and lay there underneath.
He once almost accidentally stepped on you.
He loves it when he comes home and can cuddle up with you and just relax.
Loves taking you on walks when he is free.
You will growl at Kaeya each time he teases Diluc, Diluc has a very smug smirk plastered on his face.
He likes to bring little gifts from time to time.
One time he brought you a bouquet of flowers and you didn't know what to do so just ate them.
He really went 😀
He doesn't really like PDA but does like it behind closed doors.
He already knows of your strength but it still impresses him each time.
You let him rant to you about the knights.
You growl at Donna each time she ‘moans’ about Master Diluc.
He doesn't like it when you dont take care of yourself, he will take care of you <3
Overall a cute and heartwarming relationship with lots of cute moments.

Hello, author-san? Hmmm, may I please the same as the one you did for the other post but with haikyuu especially with kuroo when the reader is scared at the movie and jumped on them. Thank youuu

»—KUROO
You were at the edge of your seat, when a zombie appeared out of nowhere which made you sit on Kuroo's lap. "Woah, woah," He teased, "Someone's scared, huh?" He buckled his arms around your waist and let you stay atop his lap as you continued the film. You returned your attention to the film, when a zombie bit one of the MCs and Kuroo mischievously took a big bite of your shoulder too. "Tetsu! What the!" You complained and pushed his face away. "Fine, fine." He said in the midst of laughter and rested his chin on your shoulder, continuing, "But maybe later..." "What do you mean later?" He placed a whisper of kiss along your jaw. "I'll just eat you later." You pinched his nose as he just laughed it off. You gave him a hard time during the rest of the film though since you’re all perched on his lap.
»—AKAASHI
Akaashi was so engrossed with the film and was conceptualizing theories about it, when an uncalled for jumpscare occurred. You reflexively jumped on him and hid your face on his chest. He immediately paused the film and held your arms. “Are you-Are you alright?” You looked up at him and nodded your head. He sighed, gave you a comforting smile and sweetly placed a kiss on your forehead. “We don’t have to continue.” He said all worried. “I’m okay. We can go on.” He resumed with the film while tightly encircling you in his arm. “Just stay right close to me and tell me when you want us to stop, okay?”
»—OIKAWA
You’re already biting your thumb and just right at the jumpscare you clung to Tooru, though he koala hugged you at the same time, pulling the blanket over, his cheek squished against yours and eyes tightly closed. You murmured, "Don’t tell me..." He opened one eye and denied, "Don’t get any ideas, silly!" He pouted, "I-I'm here to cover you! Hmph!" However, hearing a sudden shriek, he slightly shuddered. Knowing that he's just bluffing, you wrapped your arm around him too. He opened his eyes meeting your gaze, but he closed them again as he leaned in and had your lips in his. There's screaming in the background but you didn't even notice because you ended up making out under the blanket instead.
»—KAGEYAMA
Tobio was equally shocked and he just froze right there in place the moment a ghost appeared so close in the screen. However, he soon realized that you’re now seated on his lap too and panicked.“Ah, uh...” “Sorry I got scared,” you said and was about to go off him, but his hands held you in place. “If-If you’re scared you can stay right here.” He offered. You blushed but you listened to him. However, now, he’s confused. Was he bothered because of the film or because you’re making him feel a little crazy down there now that you’re seated on his lap. He shifted a few times and tried so well to keep himself in check, however your face heated up as soon as you felt something on your back. You turned your head to look at him and he instantly averted his gaze, face all red.

can i request g2 with pin from free rein please?! i love your writing
FREDDY EVENT, send in requests for any of Freddy Carter's characters (NOT the man himself (= no Freddy Carter (the real person) x readers), only his characters)!! The event will be on for an indefinite time, if you're unsure, see if the event post is pinned. If it is, then it's still on. (Other requests are open too, but they go to my normal to-do list which I'm not able to start doing anytime soon)
Thank you 💓 Sorry if this is bad, I've gotten some weird "critique" again lately and less real feedback, I've ended up blocking those anons (as all they've said has been that my writing sucks and I shouldn't be writing here/I should delete my blog etc) and ngl, it clearly shows in my motivation and inspiration to write these, which affects the quality of my stuff. I'm trying to get a grip on it again, but it needs time I guess.
Prompt: G2. Whispering something to the other’s ear
Word count: 525
Tumblr media
The Island Tournament had just gone by, and now Mia had gathered the whole Bright Fields gang to announce something.
"I've decided to make some changes to the Nationals team, since Y/N..." Mia laid a death glare on you and you scoffed, "has decided to move their camp to support the enemy, I've had no choice but replace them with Susie in Nationals."
Silence ensued, everyone was clearly shocked. You were one of the best riders in Bright Fields, and everyone knew that Mia replacing you with Susie would basically mean that Bright Fields would lose. Pin had come to stand beside you, frowning at Mia's pettiness too.
But after the whole gang had been quiet for a solid minute, just staring at Mia, you shrugged. "Great. So done with trying to embarrass me?"
People blinked at you now, shocked how calmly you took the news, and the way how Mia had decided to announce it. In front of everyone, just after the Island Tournament. She really had hoped you to lash out, tried to push your buttons. She tried to push you down to seem mature herself, being the calm and constructive one, getting to accuse you for being childish. But instead, you had taken the news very calmly and even looked bored.
Of course you secretly felt bad about not being able to participate in Nationals, but at this point, you felt the same way as Pin did - you didn't even want to ride for a bitch like Mia was, she would surely try to take the whole glory if you ended up winning anyway. You weren't surprised about this, nor you had strength to flip out about it. Even if it had cost you months of tireless training.
Mia scowled at you before raising her chin slightly. "You can go away with your boyfriend now, join the Holloway team like he did. Betray your team like he did." She turned away, marching away and Pin came to stand in front of you, taking your hand and leading you away.
"Are you okay?" he asked after you stopped by the bench, and you nodded.
"I'm fine. It's not my fault Mia is like that," you sighed and pinched your lips together. You sat down with Pin, and you leaned your head against his shoulder. You felt his lips and nose on the top of your head, and you closed your eyes, enjoying the closeness with him. After a moment, you retreated from him, but leaned right back in, wrapping your arms around his neck and burying your face into his neck. You inhaled his scent, before lifting your head and whispering to his ear, "Thank you for always being there for me."
Pin smiled softly, rubbing your back. "I will always be here, for you. No matter what." He retreated away from you slightly, but still looked at you with so much love and softness that it made your heart flutter the same way how it did when you first met him. The memory made you smile. Pin would always be there for you, just like he had been from the start.
---

Heyy idk if this'll make sense but,, I'm ugly (or at least not as pretty as others) and a lot of times guys would be dared to say "oh my friend likes you" while laughing at me. It made me very insecure growing up and makes me suspicious of compliments now... idk if anyone can relate but can you write a fluffy comfort scenario with Bokuto, Kageyama, or Tsukki? Maybe with reader laughing at a confession because she thinks it's a joke or something? Thank you, I love your work and stay healthy ❤️
Aw bby~ I’m sure you’re absolutely goregous <3 hope you enjoy your request!
Insecure S/O Reacting To a Confession (Bokuto, Kageyama, Tsukishima)
This is set in a time in which you’ve developed trust issues because a confession before had been a joke- so a little angsty ngl 
---------------------------------------------
Bokuto 
“She’s not coming, is she?” 
“Calm down. You told her to meet you after school- the bell let out less than five minutes ago.” Akaashi’s voice sounded through the spiker’s phone as Bokuto releases a bigger sigh than he expected. Nervousness tingled through his muscles while the burly boy seemed to tremble in both excitement and fear for what was to come, leaning against one of the many exits to the school as golden eyes scoped the area for your figure. 
“Today’s the day, Akaashi, I just know it!” 
“Yeah. You said that yesterday. And the day before that one. Not to mention every day for the past month-” 
“I think she’s coming!!” A hand slipped out of his pants pocket as he pushes off the wall giddily. 
“Well, be careful- I don’t know if you heard about it, but-” 
“See you at practice, my #1 Wingman!” 
Bokuto ends the call, the last thing he hears being a sigh of Akaashi’s at his abrupt cut off. That could wait. A growing grin began at Bokuto’s lips as you, confused, approached him with a crumpled paper in your hand- looking as beautiful as ever in the eyes of the ace. 
“Bokuto-san...?” 
“You made it!” 
He couldn’t see the hesitation in your steps, or the nervousness in your movements for the national-known volleyball spiker had his gold eyes downcasted at his feet, a hand nervously coming up to rest on the back of his neck as he internally prepares himself. 
“Was there something you needed from me?” You wrung your hands out, biting your lip as you seemed to fidget in place, the scenario being all to familiar with what you once had to go through. However, you knew better- it just simply wasn’t possible. 
Bokuto was always friendly towards you, but previous events had placed a limit in your head on just how far that friendliness just happened to extend. Until- 
“Y/N...do you maybe want to go out with me?” 
Your jaw slackened a little as you still in shock, watching as the boy you thought was eons out of your league blushed a little, squeezing his eyes tight as the question came out rushed, the words fumbling over each other. 
But you still heard it. 
Your chest sunk and heat flamed in your cheeks as you push out your first instinct- a laugh. A laugh bubbled up in your throat at the question, and Bokuto opened his eyes, confusion and anxiety rising in his stomach at the sound that still made his heart race. Nervously, he began laughing too. 
“Alright.” You make out between giggles. “Who put you up to this?” 
All laughter stopped on his end as you continue to giggle, but your eyes were a tad bit poignant as your fists clenched at your sides. Bokuto straightens, furrowing his brows at the ridiculous question. 
“What do you mean?” 
“I mean, this is a prank right?” Your voice wobbled. “Was it Rui? His friend Droy?” 
“Y/N, what-?” 
“You shouldn’t play with girls’ feelings like that, you know?” You continue, smiling yet your eyes screamed of another story. “But in my case, it’s funny- right?” 
Bokuto blinked, mouth agape at the accusation in your words as you take a shaky breath, trying not to show weakness as Bokuto takes a careful step in front of you. Was this what Akaashi was trying to tell him? 
“Y/N, I’m serious!” The ace exclaimed, causing you to finally meet his eyes with your slightly watery ones. “You’re absolutely goregous, there’s no way this is a prank!” 
“Y-You’re taking this too far...” 
“I’m not, because there isn’t anything to take!” Bokuto grabs your hand in his, intertwining your pinkies as you can’t help but smile a little at the childish gesture. “I promise you, Y/N, I like you! Way too much, I’ve been trying to tell you for the past month now, but...you scare me. In a I’ve-never-had-these-feelings before kind of way.” 
You find yourself leaning into his palm as Bokuto smiles, golden eyes gleaming genuinely as he cups your face. “Who made you think of yourself this way?” 
“N-No one in particular...” You lie, looking off to the side as you feel yourself being tugged gently into the sweet boy’s chest, causing you to yelp a little as Bokuto crosses a boundary, digging his face into the juncture between your neck and shoulder. 
“Please.” You stop trying to push him away at the sincerity in his voice. “Can I change that? I can. I promise you I can, if you give me a chance!” 
Shakily, you look up to the sky, feeling Bokuto’s warm breath on your neck as he spoke, wondering if this was worth learning to trust again, your arms wrapping around his mid-section as you did so. 
Your voice quiets, cracking slightly as you hold him back just a little tighter. 
“One chance. Don’t let me regret this.”
Kageyama
“This is ridiculous, you moron!” 
“Trust me, she’s gonna love it Kageyama-Kun!” Hinata flashes his setter a big thumbs up as Kageyama groans, glaring into the bouquet of flowers with pink dusted across his cheeks. After Hinata had snuck a horribly written note into your shoe locker- Kageyama couldn’t put his confession off anymore, much to the setter’s dismay. Admiring you from afar had been enough, and confessing you face to face had once been a daydream- 
“Can’t I just, you know, text her?” The raven haired boy attempts to escape one more time as Hinata points a finger to the spot where he was standing stubbornly. 
“Nope! As if you could get her number anyway-”  Hinata dodges the hit coming his way with ease, sidestepping as he continues his tangent. “So you’re going to stand right there and wait for Y/N-chan to come! I’m going home now, and tomorrow- you better have a newly minted girlfriend!” 
“I should’ve never asked you for advice.” 
“See you tomorrow, and you’re welcome.” 
Kageyama scoffs, snarky reply falling on silent lips as Hinata mounts his bike and takes off before he can get it out, leaving the blue-eyed setter standing at military position near the courtyard, red roses tightened in his grasp around the less thorny areas. He hoped Hinata was smart enough to not mix up the two locations.
“Kageyama-Kun!” 
Said boy almost drops his flowers when you round the corner, now changed out of your school shoes as Kageyama swallows- a futile attempt to aid his now dry mouth. You took small steps towards him as you find a lump growing in your throat at the scene before you, memories flashing in your mind at what once had been. 
Regardless, you managed a tight smile as Kageyama blinks once. Then twice as if to make sure this was really happening. 
“You...wanted to see me about something?” You question formally, ignoring the red hue of the roses as Kageyama stutters out a response, bright blue eyes darting all over the courtyard. 
“I...um....you are....UGH-” 
In any other circumstance, you might’ve found this cute- but the only thing you could think of was how good he was at acting. 
“Take your time.” Your eyes dim down a little as the familiar unease rises in your stomach. 
“D-Date!” Kageyama manages, the pink on his cheeks now turning into a bright red. “I want to g-go on a date with you...!” 
You press your lips together as a heat pricks the corner of your eyes, the one image you didn’t want to remember blurring perfectly over the one in front of you. 
.... Again?
Kageyama curses, offering you the roses with one hand shakily as the back of his hand covers his mouth, blue eyes seeming to glare off to the side in utter regret. “I heard you like flowers, s-so....”
“You don’t need to do this, Kageyama-Kun.” You find yourself saying, surprised at how stable your voice was as Kageyama’s arm slackens a little, the bouqet lowering in height as he takes in your words- in his case, your response. 
“It’s cruel, you know? I get it- you’re popular, attractive, and people want to be your friend- but this? I know I can’t be with someone like you the way I am now, so you have to show me firsthand?”
“Huh?” 
You chuckle humorlessly at the genuine confusion in his voice before laughing a little. “It’s hilarious, isn’t it? Poor, naive, ugly girl believes for just a second that the boy she likes wants her back.” 
Kageyama’s eyes widen a little, still trying to process what you’re saying as the roses fall slack at his side. But the only thing he’s able to get out, is- 
“Wait, you like me?” 
You spin on your heel, flustered you admitted it, before beginning to walk off. 
“Goodbye, Kageyama-Kun.” 
“W-Wait!” Before he can stop himself, he finds himself grabbing you from behind to stop your leaving, your eyes widening as the bouqet of flowers remains tightened in his grasp as he does so, your back against his chest. The aromatic scent fills your nose as he successfully stops you from going anywhere. 
“I-I don’t know why you think you’re ugly or any of those things, but you aren’t.” Kageyama mumbles quickly, and you’re shocked to see that he’s trembling at the touch. “But I wasn’t lying, or trying to play you. I want to go on a date with you...and if you like me too, there shouldn’t be an issue, right?” 
“Shit!” Kageyama releases you right away, and you step away subconciously as you find yourself believing him, a hand over the clothed part of your chest as you do, cheeks blooming with a pink of their own. 
“...I think I’d like that.” 
“Like what?” Kageyama questions obliviously as you groan, blushing in a way that made the setter want to admire you even closer than from afar. 
“The date, don’t make me say it!” 
The blue-eyed setter releases a sigh of relief, his heart being sent on an emotional rollercoaster coming to an end as he chuckles the slightest bit at your embarrassed stature, offering the roses again in a now relaxed-manner. 
“Right. So can you maybe take the damn flowers and be my girlfriend?” 
Tsukishima
“I regret this. I’m going home.” 
“Tsukki! No!” Yamaguchi whines, pulling on his friend’s sleeve for the second time in six minutes. 
“She isn’t coming. Waiting outside her classroom is creepy anyway. She might’ve even already gone home.” Tsukishima says straight on, glancing at his childhood friend before the freckled boy could interject. “What are you even doing here?” 
“Moral support!” 
“Yeah, could you maybe...do that somewhere else?” 
Yamaguchi sniffs once, frowning. “I get that you’re nervous, Tsukki, but don’t take it out on me. Text me later and send Y/N my regards, okay?” 
“I’m not nervous.” The tall blonde claims, swiping through his playlist when in reality- the butterflies in his stomach said otherwise.
“That’s all you got out of that?” Yamaguchi sweat drops, shouldering his bag a little more before waving as he begins to walk off. “Be nice to Y/N!” 
“Wasn’t gonna kill her.” Tsukishima mumbles to no one as he’s left by his lonesome in the empty school corridor after school had ended, mostly everyone leaving or going to attend their club activities. He knew from Yachi who shared your class- that you stayed a little after school to study for a bit before leaving. 
Tsukishima had discovered about his emotional surge towards you when you had visited practice one day to drop off Yachi’s notebook- only to notice you more and more each time you had passed him by to the point where you would smile and wave while greeting him by name. Soon, all other girls seemed to become see-through, leaving you bright in a sea of unfamiliar heads. 
“Crap!” You stumble back, a relieved laugh filling the corridor as the blonde blinks, wondering how he had gotten so lost in his thoughts he hadn’t even seen you emerge or make himself known. 
“You scared me, Tsukki!” You whine, shifting your bag upon your shoulder before blinking in confusion. “Wait, what are you doing here? Is the volleyball club off today-?” 
“Go out with me.” 
Your breath hitches at the sudden attack. 
Tsukishima remains indifferent, thankful he was able to even say it, as he shoved his hands in his pockets, eyeing you seriously through his spectacles before you find yourself back there again. Back where your trust was stripped and your pride was stomped on before you smile- a smile that was anything but cheerful. 
“That’s not a very funny joke, Tsukki.” You laugh a little, hand tightening around your bag strap as you refuse to meet his eyes, your gaze falling on his shoes as you become overwhelmed with past events. 
“I’m not joking. Go out with me.” He repeats, not asking, but in a way where it sounded like he was basically telling you. 
“...How far are you willing to go?” You feel wetness brim your eyes, but your smile still remains- shaky yet present- as your voice cracks differently from the way you used to call his name. 
“What the hell are you-?” 
A smirk and multiple laughs ring in your head from your memories before you finally snap. 
 “Stop screwing around, alright?”
Tsukishima’s brow quirks up once, and in the next few moments, you gasp as your back is suddenly touching a nearby locker- Tsukishima’s hand resting by your side to create the illusion of entrapment as he leans in to you, and you don’t have to look up to know that his gaze was searing into you with a mixture of frustration and something else you couldn’t pinpoint. 
“Who’s screwing around?” His voice was quiet and irritable, and you swallow the lump in your throat as a few stray tears slip. 
“I’m just a joke, right?” You mumble, barely audible as you breathe in his scent from decreased proximity. “You boys always toy with girls like they’re your little playthings-” 
“Are you talking about that shitty prank that bastard pulled on you a few months back?” 
Your eyes snap up before you can stop them. “You...know about that?” 
“Why the hell are we here wasting our breaths on them?” Tsukishima questions, irritation evident in his tone. “I don’t do these kinds of things, ever, and you seriously think I’d be here telling you I like you as some kind of shit joke? Give me a break.” 
You blink, believing his harsh words as Tsukishima sighs, relaxing his neck so his head falls on your shoulder. 
“On the bright side you finally looked at me. Understood, I hear you loud and clear.” 
You bite your lip when he moves to step away from you, your hands clasping at the sides of his shirt before you can stop yourself. 
“I...I’ll go out with you, Tsukki.” 
The blonde’s eyes widen a fraction as you bury your head in his chest. 
“Just...please please don’t be like the others.” 
“I thought I told you.” Tsukki’s pointer finger prods at your chin, causing you to look up at him as he leans down so your noses brush. 
“You’re wasting your breath on the wrong thing, Y/N.”

His princess ❣︎
joongooxreader pt1 pt2 pt3/3
Word count: 1393
Tumblr media
When the chairman asked to see you personally, the first thought was definitely, I'm getting promoted.
This is it, after working full-time with that dimwit, I'm getting promoted~ And I might finally get a chance to work with Gun! You squealed at the thought, skipping through the hallways in delight, faintly humming a song.
In front of his door, you smoothed out your suit, a brand new one just for this exact event. Taking a deep breath, you pushed open the door. But what awaited you was a little, no, a lot different to what you expected. A smug-looking man, manspreading on the couch, and the chairman sitting straightly.
"Princess, I missed you!" Goo exclaimed, not too surprised when you shot him a glare. Ngl, after working with him for nearly two weeks, it's shocking how much he grew onto you. Is this his manipulative side everyone talks about?
Maybe the gut feelings were mistaken, maybe the butterflies that erupted in your stomach when the nickname 'princess' was used, were simply all an illusion.
Oh, but he noticed, how that glare was far softer than before. How your eyes would linger on him a bit longer every time he treats you after work. How you wouldn't protest about his sickly sweet nicknames anymore, how you'd enjoy his company.
The chairman snapped you out of your trance, "Take a seat." You plopped down on the place besides Goo where his hands patted. Honestly a little confused as to why you complied without complaint. You might not catch it, but his smirk widened more seeing you so obedient.
"I don't think you've heard, but you've made quite a name for yourself, miss y/n."
You tilted your head in perplex, and why on earth was Goo gawking at you like that. Creep.
"Goo's princess."
"Pardon me?" your neck snapped towards the strict man. you couldn't find an ounce of insincerity on his emotionless face. Dead silence rang through the room till Goo's laughter burst out in amusement.
Oh lord how you were wrong, let's never underestimate your gut feeling. The butterflies are going insane upon his laughter, wait, why are my cheeks burning?
"Princess! This is unexpected, but what we're trying to say is ..."
The sentence echoed throughout the room.
"What did you say?"
"I said, what we're trying to say is, you'll stay working with me, sweet pea!"
Hold on, haha I'm so tired I'm hallucinating. Right?
Your face was blank, well more like restrained.
All you were thinking about was should you risk it by yelling in the chairman's face. Though in the end, you'd rather not lose your job. So you took a big breath, "What's the meaning of this?" you said exasperated.
Goo brushed his hair back, standing up with hands behind his back. "Well, I suggested to the chairman, since more people will be targeting you now, there's no need to change and put other people into danger! Right? Miss y/n." he announced proudly.
The first use of your name to ever fall out of his lips.
"Do you have a fever princess? You're a bit red." Goo mentioned. This man needs to stop examining you like that, with those tempting eyes. You didn't even notice he took off his glasses until you finally looked him in the eye.
"I-I'm fine, just recovering from the shock." you blurted out. "But president, does that mean I have to stick with this moro- I meant Goo, until the rumors are resolved? And without increasing my salary?" you sulked.
The man cut off Goo before he could speak, "If a raise is what you're looking for, that's already done. But about the rumors, they won't go out after a day."
To be honest, your face is more green than red. Hold on, didn't I come here just to work with my beloved jonggun, time out, what's going on.
"Please just tell me what's gonna happen." sighing loudly, you lean forwards, massaging your forehead with one hand.
"I'm going to make you collect debts with joongoo instead of jonggun."
Ok, that's it. You blew up. "Wait! Chairman please, you cannot be serious about this!" Man did your dreams just wash down the drain in front of you, yeah it did.
"Buttercup, you don't have to worry about working with me! I'm reliable you know?" Goo grinned, seeing you speechless gave him another level of refreshment.
A fly might have gotten into your mouth, but that's all nothing compared to the bullshit you've just heard. Your mouth wide open, trying to digest the info you were given.
"Hold on, so you're telling me, to work every day plus night, full-time, no rest while dealing with a fool AND putting my life on the line?"
"You're pay is increased by 50 percent."
"Deal."
----------------------------------------------⌫
"Hey boss, it's them! Goo and his woman!"
You rolled your eyes hearing those words, crossing your arms, "Gosh could people stop saying that?"
Goo turned around to smirk at you, "I could get used to this, in fact, I think this is fantastic!" He turned back only to meet the eyes of the gang's boss. Oh how he terrified him with his menacing smile, a signature one of course.
"Jackass," you muttered under your breath.
"Hey, you give me a new nickname every time don't ya. What about hubby, or even prince char-"
"No way! There's no charming thing about you, I'll stick with my nicknames thank you. But anyway, why is the leader quivering like that?"
Something's not right.
"You've got to be kidding me.” you groaned.
The head only chuckled tensely, “M-mister Goo, you certainly are early, would you like something to drink? Or..." he scratched the back of his head. I wish I could tell him to drop that fake ass smile.
Goo checks his watch with a grimaced face, "No, we're just on time. Now if you would kindly show us what you've prepared?" he leaned towards the boss.
The leader avoided eye contact with the towering man, mumbling a few words. "Huh? I can't hear you man, hold on, you do have the money right? My schedule was delayed and I've given you guys three extra days!" he made a pissed-off face, "I was gonna grab dinner after this, so let's clear up this misunderstanding. Fast."
This doesn't usually happen frequently, the sum isn't even that difficult to make. Unless if you're not good with money, but then why would you make a gang?
Do I just have bad luck, still I'm glad I'm not wearing anything too expensive. The crew didn't look too pleased with Goo's statement, one by one they begin taking out their weapons.
"Princess, behind you~"
You sighed while murmuring some curses, lifting your arm and slamming back your clenched fist, whacking the guy's nose. Why am I always the option for a hostage? Sighing even more, you asked, "You want help?"
"Yes please cutie, but if you keep sighing like that, you'll get shorter!" The audacity of this man to insult you while fighting off people like it's such a daily thing.
Upon his mockery, you decided to just not help, walking away from the scene and ignoring his whining apologies. Instead, approaching the boss on the side, flinching when he felt your firm grip on his shoulders. What a pussy, you thought, is he shorter than me?
"Don't come near me! Guards, hey!" he shrieks, earning a loud snicker from you. "You call yourself the boss? Hey, look at me. Your guards aren't coming ok? You'll have to deal with me."
You grinned, one that sends chills down his spine, making him back off into a corner. Goo should be done soon, even if he isn't, he's gonna rush. Just to see the daunting expression on your face when you finished your job.
Then at the end of the day, he'll award you for your hard work. Even taking a nice short stroll with you, treating you some ice cream. Things like this are what makes work tolerable, it's not far-fetched to even say enjoyable. Though you'd never admit.
And he won't stop spoiling you, not until he loses interest. But maybe, just maybe those little butterflies are also fluttering in his tummy. Somethings telling him this isn't just about interest, it's a lot more.
After all, you are his princess.

ngl i dont FULLY understand nico’s place in tsor (probs my fault i read through too quickly bc im like LANDO CARLOS and then have to reread for details) but how much of ur hatred for nico seeps into tsor nico :)
i think it's another function of how much i hate exposition alkgjalkg LOL sorry. this is super long and kind of disjointed bc i'm in class but lmk if you have any more questions.
tl;dr, nico is half-zemean, half-teuton. teuton is a duchy; so there's no kings or anything, there's only a duke who rules over the country. it's not a huge country but it's highly specialized and very advanced, and has birthed some of the best knights in history. the old ducal family died out, and through a freak series of events, the rosbergs somehow came into power. they were a very influential family in Zemé, but then shit hit the fan in Zeméan politics and there was. a lot of internal strife. like civil war that threatened to destabilize ALLL of evropa. galla took that opportunity to start fucking up Seuloger lmao. it also began thawing relations between anglosax and hiberia bc they were instrumental in brokering peace and used significant manpower. this is where lewis and val met and became friends. they were part of the same contingent, and were quickly overwhelmed. nico was supposed to help them, he never brought his people, and lewis and val were functionally left to die. they didn't, though it was the closest to death lewis got, and if it wasn't for val, he wouldn't have made it out alive.
nico was also his lover so. you know. that ended that. they never talked about it. i mean, what do you talk about after that?
ANYWAY yeah ~~~~SOMEHOW keke managed to pull some strings and wow lo and behold nico's mother's line was somehow named the successor ducal family???? and nico came to inherit the duchy when the old duke died????? SO WEIRD. so weird!!!! wow!
but teuton is too regimented to mess with formal edicts, so they swallowed their shock that the schumachers were set aside in favor of a family that, while noble certainly, seemed more interested in consolidating power in zemé rather than teuton.
nico turned teuton insular. rather than being involved in regional politics, teuton became concerned with teuton and teuton alone. practically called back all their emissaries. seb was the exception, because seb wouldn't have stood to not be the exception and besides he'd earned his stripes. who the fuck was nico to tell him he couldn't do what he wanted when he would have died for the schumachers without a second thought? who was nico to him?
and now, nico is basically turning a blind eye to galla and letting them do what they want with impunity - depriving hiberia and anglosax of a final prong to their troika that could, together, undoubtedly take down galla and restore seuloger. which is why val's digging in zemé was very, very helpful.
sorry, kind of a run-on, but i hope that helped!

You Know What I'm Here For
For prompts?! Ngl this was low key threatening 😂
Platonic BkDk with some hero merch shenanigans! I got a little carried away.
“What are you...doing here, Kacchan?” Izuku says with wary eyes, narrowed as trails of bodies pass by on his left and right. 
Katsuki stands in front of him, matching his wide stance, hands clenched into fists as a sneer slowly works its way onto his childhood friend’s face. The mall is packed this weekend even at the early hour. They aren’t the only ones with these plans, after all. 
“You know what I’m here for, Deku.”
The words come low, ground out into a challenge between snarling teeth and heated palms. Izuku feels One for All pumping through his veins, a comforting heat begging to be called on. Izuku cocks his head to the side, feeling his own lips rise in response. His friends say his smile brings comfort—sunshine. 
But not now. 
Izuku takes a deep breath. “If you think you’ll beat me Kacchan...you have another thing coming. I’m always first.” Izuku takes a step forward. “Always.”
Katsuki follows suit, taking a step into Izuku’s space. They’re inches apart now, Katsuki looking down the bridge of his nose at Izuku. The air is charged, electric with their shared goal. Izuku looks down at his watch, a prickle at his nape from dropping Katsuki’s gaze. 
“One minute, Kacchan.”
“I know, nerd.”
The silence is palpable even with the sounds of bodies rustling around them from where they stand off to the side of the main thoroughfare. No one pays them any mind as the seconds tick by, their breathing huffed in tandem. The summer air is warm but neither boy pays it much mind even if a trickle of sweat appears on both brows; whether it be from the effort of intimidation or not, neither can say. 
3…
“I don’t lose, Deku.”
2…
“We both know that’s not true, Kacchan.”
1…
Katsuki growls viciously.
Beep!
Izuku’s watch sounds out loudly, two sets of eyes flinching with the alarm--and they’re off.
The legality of using his power and the selfish nature of doing so in a non-emergency setting is the only thing that has Izuku reining in his quirk as he shoves the blonde boy behind him as they sprint to the area both had mapped out in their heads months prior. Sneakers slap at marbled tile and bodies contort so as not to drag any innocent bystanders down in their furious movement through the crowd. 
All too quickly the store nears, it’s rectangular arch a beacon to the boys. The signs out front sear themselves into Izuku’s corneas as elbows fly and teeth ache from the effort and desperation pumping through his body. His legs pump faster, faster he must be faster, as the feet between him and his desires dwindles to almost nothing. 
“You won’t win, Deku!” Katsuki screams, the heads of the general public turning in surprise and disgust as the boys are nothing more than a blur in their periphery. 
Izuku feels his nails catch on skin as he flails for dominance in their glorified race. Adrenaline has him on such a high that the look of horror on the employee’s face that greets them as they near their destination hardly registers. Izuku wants this, he’s waited so long--
“W-welcome to our an-annual event!” 
Izuku can see it, can see the boxes in all their glory, shining white and gold and blue in their perfect pyramid stacks. He can feel tears in his eyes, his heart swelling with wonder and joy and the culmination of months of waiting ever since that magazine announced the Special Edition All Might figurine that now lies so close, just outside of his grasp--
He isn’t expecting the world to go dark as a hand, spread full palm clobbers his face, pushing him back so suddenly that his feet fly out in front of him. As if in slow motion, Izuku feels nothing beneath him, air his only buffer from cold, hard, tile. Then, time catches him with a vengeance. The air knocks out of him with a single whoosh and his ears ring as he tries to hold his head up from hitting the floor and yet he can’t miss the sound of triumph.
“HA! Yes! Loser! I won!”
Izuku slowly rises, rubbing at his already sore neck as he peers into the front of the store, Katsuki holding up their shared prize with such a look of supreme victory that it makes Izuku sick.
“Are...are you alright?”
Izuku looks up to see a hand outstretched, the wary but concerned face of the employee hovering over him. Izuku takes the help gratefully.
“Eh-heh, yea, fine thanks.”
Nothing hurt but my pride.
Suddenly Izuku realizes they aren’t alone, throngs of people seemingly coming from nowhere and piling into the store at a pace that surprises Izuku. Quickly he joins the masses, shoving his smaller stature between other bodies with as many polite ‘excuse me’s as he can manage 
Finally, with sweat plastered to his forehead, Izuku makes his way to the round table that holds his prize, eyes bright with elation as his fingers curl and stretch, just a bit further, reach, reach!
Only for his fingers to curl around empty air.
The table is empty.
Izuku stills, his body jostled side to side as others’ quests come to the same sorry conclusion. 
I...I missed them. They sold out before I could get one…
Izuku is mortified as he feels the tears come. Easily they roll down his cheeks yet he doesn’t blink them away, shock-widened eyes staring at a red table-cloth that wrinkles in mockery of what once covered its surface. Izuku sniffles.
“Oi.”
Izuku doesn’t look up. He’s too lost in misery. “I know Kacchan...you won.” His voice matches his shoulders that slump in defeat. He clenches his hands.
“Oi.”
This time Izuku does look, listlessness quickly being replaced by fury. What does Kacchan want? To gloat? To rub it in his face how yes he got there first, he got the thing they both wanted so badly--
Izuku must be dreaming.
Katsuki stands before him, blank expression carefully held on his face as he balances two All Might figurines in his palms.
“I saw you weren’t gonna make it so I grabbed an extra…” The tears roll even fatter down Izuku’s face. “Don’t make it weird!”
“Kacchan-” Izuku sniffles, “Kacchan did that for me?”
“Oh my god!”
Izuku barely reacts as the box is thrown at him, hands cradled to catch it as gently as possible. Izuku’s chest feels unbearably warm.
“Kacchan! These are collectable! Don’t throw!”
The wave of dismissal Izuku receives does nothing to dampen Izuku’s joy as he follows the blonde to the register. 
“Yea, whatever. Don’t ever mention this again and don’t you dare tell your dumb friends,” Katsuki grounds out. Izuku just smiles.
“Yea, alright Kacchan.”
He still tells his mom.

Not me being hella late to this event sksnakxnsibd
Anyway, I'm really into the ‘friends to lovers’ trope (because I read way to much romance manga). Also, I would like it to be Haikyuu. ✨
Things about me
𝐈. I'm a tall mf (like 6'3 last I checked). Some people find my height intimidating. If it's not the height that scares people, it's the many piercings I have. (Lots of ear piercings, one eyebrow piercing, lip piercing, and a tongue piercing.) Because of how I look, I usually get mistaken for a thug. But I'm probably the softest person you'd ever meet. I'm a nice guy, but some people don't think I am. (So I'm vErY surprised I have friends-)
𝐈𝐈. Some people say I'm good looking, but I'm not the smartest. Which I can understand. I mean, I'm not stupid. Average grades, but I kinda struggle to get that far. My athleticism makes up for it though! :D I'm an ambivert, so I'm not around my friends 24/7. (Oh, and I have a lot of ✨determination✨.)
𝐈𝐈𝐈. I love cute things/people. Idgaf if you're a man, woman, or anything in between. I will tell you to your face that you're cute. (Ngl I just wanna make people feel better about themselves.) Apparently, I'm some kind of a stress reliever for my friends, because whenever one of them is pAniCking, they just hug me. (I love hugs 💕)
I'm kinda into people who are very shy- it's just so cute to me. 🥰 I'd hug and kiss them any chance I got. And if someone is bothering them, I protecc (maybe even attacc).
Congrats on your first hundred, homie! 🎉🥳
I love your work, and your profile is like a safe space for me. You're really doing god's work in these trying times. 🥺💚

Your Match Is
Yamaguchi Tadashi
Why?
Yamaguchi tends to be kind of shy
Of course that doesn't mean he isn't a complete asshole, as he does laugh along with Tsukishima while mocking their teammates.
Overall he is very nice though, so on his own there isn't really any snarky comments or anything.
Like I said, on his own Yamaguchi is more shy and anxious.
He is shown to be very dependent on people, so if and when he becomes friends with you, chances are you'll be his emotional support
If you ever call him cute, he's completely taken with you
Your height wouldn't scare him too much, seeing as he's used to it with Tsukki
The piercings might give him the wrong impression at first though, so watch out.
It feels like you can balance each other out.
🂠🃑🃁🂱🂡
First Meeting
The first meeting was a little bit rocky, in all honesty.
Yamaguchi was more intimidated by all of the piercings in your ears than your height, seeing as he's in the volleyball team with a group of tall ass men.
(He wasn't short himself, standing at 5' 11")
Needless to say, he was expecting the worst of you when you got paired together in a group project. He thought that you would call him names or something stupid like that, so the surprise he felt when you gave him the nicest damn smile was off the charts.
Real team player, you were. He was shocked silent for most of the project, trying to associate you with the guy he was afraid of for so damn long.
He got instant whiplash, and a ton of new random feelings.
Friendship
Awkward at first
Yamaguchi didn't really know how to handle you after finding out that you were such a damn gentleman?
Tsukishima was a little skeptical about you at first, but he doesn't really care about who Yamaguchi hangs out with.
Tadashi doesn't come to you for comfort at first.
He doesn't really know how much he needs it until you just hug him on impulse, and then he goes "Damn. I kinda like this."
And now he'll hug you all the time.
It's actually really cute
In the mornings when he goes to his classroom, he gives you a hug before sitting down at his desk.
If he ever needs emotional support?
He'll go straight to you.
At this point, just just as attached to you as he is to Tsukishima.
If you don't play volleyball, you can bet that he'll try to get you to join.
And of course all of this comfort and contact leads to...
Realization
Yamaguchi's realization came at an ungodly hour of night, in the most unprofessional way ever.
He was doing what (probably most teenagers do) and was just up surfing the web practically all night. Somehow he got from random volleyball matches and gaming videos to "how to know if you're in love with your friend."
He, being curious, clicked on the video with you in mind. After all, you were just friends right? Those kinds of videos were kind of hard not to watch.
You can guess what happened next, right? He found himself relating to each damn element in that video, and now he was confused.
Confession
Tadashi's confession really only happened because of Tsukishima.
Tadashi had left his computer open, so when Tsukki came over later in the day all he had to do was move the mouse and it turned on.
Yamaguchi's search history was just filled with "how to confess" and "how to confess to your friend" videos.
Tsukishima gave him a look.
"No! This isn't for you," Tadashi rushed over to click out of the tab.
"Then who," Tsukishima casually sat on his bed.
"Well- uh..." Should he tell him? Tsukishima was his best friend but still-
"It's about (y/n) isn't it?"
Tsukki sends off hand comments all the time, but this one was correct.
Yamaguchi nodded.
"Cool," Tukishima pulled up his phone and opened your contact.
"Wait what are you doing?" Yamaguchi ran over to Tsukishima, but he was a little bit too late. He had already sent 'Yamaguchi is in love with you'
Tadashi was scared to say the least, angry maybe, but mostly scared.
That is, until his phone buzzed. When he looked down you had only sent him one thing:
'<3'
"There, you can stop pining now," Tsukki put his phone away and pulled out his textbook.
"Can we just study now?"
