( NOTES. ) enhypen as eager ducklings. fluff. fem!centered. revamp. lowercase intended. 1036wc. from my old acct. 𓈃 ๋ 𝐍𝐄𝐖 峠
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ LEE HEE-SEUNG. 이희승 spends the entire time after you tell him you’re coming in writing a perfect song for you. barely gets a blink of sleep the night before, keeps tossing and turning every second quite literally. re-reads your text conversations, and looks at the photos and videos of you that you shared. at the airport he has a board with your name in case you don’t recognize him with his mask on, his doe eyes are all wide to spot you from far away. honestly has probably learned half of the whole of your language to impress you. when you reach and he sees you, boy doesn’t even wait already rushing to hug you. cries as he rocks your body side to side and on the way back home keeps looking at you.
"you mean so much to me, i don't think i can stay away from you anymore,"
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ PARK JONG-SEONG. 박종성 gets and gives himself countless peptalks on how to not have an embarrassing episode. chooses his outfit, perfume, shoes, accessories everything he will have on very very carefully. is nervous to the point of pissing his pants, but forcefully keeps on a calm composure. he just wants to look perfect for you. definitely buys a sweet gift, and has it covered in a pretty wrapper with a handwritten letter inside. looks like a model waiting for you, hands in his pocket as he stands all tall with a cold expression. but the image is gone the moment you arrive, as he melts and gives you a big long kiss. holds onto your hand- has your fingers intertwined the whole ride back home.
"having you by my side is like the greatest gift ever, i hope i always have it,"
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ SIM JAE-YUN. 심재윤 is nervous since day one after he got to know you’re coming to meet him. calls you every night to talk about what you’re gonna do when you’re here. flirts a lot saying now that you’ll be together in real life for some time, he’s going to take full advantage of it. updates you on his every action on the day of your arrival even though he knows you can’t check your phone. takes out time to learn his favorite endearment terms in your language so that he can make you feel special. also please he’s not waiting, as soon as you’re in his line of sight, he’s sprinting to you, picking you up and twirling you in a hug like in the movies. attached at the hip to you the whole entire time. gives tons & all types of kisses until the day of your return.
"you're so much prettier in person, so beautiful and all mine,"
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ PARK SUNG-HOON. 박성훈 wakes up early to stand in the line and buy your favourite food from your favorite place. has all the members gathered to help him decide what he should wear, nitpicks on every detail. practices everyday what all he wants to say to you face to face, probably changes the wordings a lot. yet forgets everything when he lays his eyes on you as you come running to him. stumbles back a little before holding you tight against him. whispers how he missed you, almost cries, eyes brimming with tears and shuttering when trying to speak. stealing glances, and looking away smiling all shy now that you’re going to be next to him for a while. cannot for the love of god make eye contact, he malfunctions.
"you have no idea how much i love this right now and how much i love you,"
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ KIM SUN-WOO. 김선우 excited from the very beginning, prepares something handmade to give you. almost everyone he knows closely, knows that you’re coming, he just can’t stop talking about it. everyone at the airport can already guess that he’s waiting for someone special. practically screams your name before you run to each other and he’s squishing you a bone tight hug. showers your entire face with kisses, while squealing and asking if this real and you’re actually here. for sure you both cry saying how much you wanted to meet and now, finally. he absolutely cannot stop giggling and smiling with his eyes the entire time of your stay. does not bother acknowledging anyone that's not you.
"your smile is so cute, i feel so lucky to be the one you smile at,"
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ YANG JUNG-WON. 양정원 spends the entire morning at the flowershop picking out the perfect bouquet to show his love for you. also buys these little couple bracelet set he came across on the way to the airport. probably has a serious talk with heeseung or jake the night before. you bet jungwon's secretly learnt your language, has a big speech prepared in it. waits at the airport terminal looking like a soft bunny, breathing calm but exploding inside. noticing your figure, excitedly walks to the other side of the barrier, calling out your name with a smile. gives you the flowers then holds both of your hands as he speaks, small tears dropping. kisses your eyes when you start crying too.
"you're beyond precious to me, it feels like i'm addicted to you,"
𝒢𝓁𝒸 ─ NISHIMURA RI-KI. 西村力 so nervous he thinks he'll pass out any moment. asks for all kind of advice from everyone he knows and notes it down on his notes app. acts out a fake scenario in his head of how he's going to jump you, hug the hell out of you, pepper you with kisses and absolutely make it so cute without crying. but the moment he sees you, poor baby starts sobbing like anything. it's so overwhelming, walks up to you in quick steps and pulls you into a tight hug. nuzzles his head into the crook of your neck, apologizing for 'ruining' this but he just so happy that you're here. after he's calm down it's just a shy boy. takes you both a while to get rid of the shyness but it's all really cute honestly.
"no one has ever made me feel the way you do, you're really my special person,"

prompt; After Peter ends your relationship after admitting to being in love with someone else, you're a mess and very very miserable.
warnings: semi heavy angst, fluff if you squint
word count: 4.7k
part one part three
It's been four days since your birthday, and your break up with Peter. 
You were sad, no you were miserable since that day and you cried every chance you got. It's not because it was on your birthday, if it was any other day you'd probably be just as worst.
Today was Monday, which meant today was also another dreadful, long and dragging, boring day of school. You'd rather be in your bed, eating ice cream as you cried watching a rom-com that was just as bad as your life.
When you got to school, you went straight to your locker, put your things inside and got all needed accessories for your upcoming class. The first class you needed to be at was social studies, which thankfully didn't have him in it, just your friend Betty and his friend Ned.
"Hey, Happy belated birthday!" Betty quickly exclaims the moment you walk into the class room, a couple students glancing at you or her in curiosity.
You send a grateful and albeit, weak smile as you slowly but surely make your way to your assigned seat which just so happens to be right next to her.
"Thanks." You softly mumble just as you sit next to her, the blonde haired girl excitedly turning towards you with too much anticipation.
"So, how was your birthday?" She asked.
"Also, sorry I couldn't be there." Betty quickly added before you could answer.
You wanted to tell her that it was fine, that you enjoyed your birthday with just you and your mom but the last final hour of your birthday was truly the worst part of that whole 24 hour day.
"It's fine, umm, I guess it was okay." You tell her, leaving out the very heartbreaking details you so badly wanted to tell her.
"Did Peter shower you in presents? Did he take you on a date!?" Ohh, did he give you that necklace that you've been ogling for the past few months?" Betty asked, question after question.
Now, you had no other choice but to tell her, and quite frankly, you did not want that to be the agenda for the day, but curse Betty and her curious, bubbly personality.
"Actually, we broke up." You tell it how it is, not sparing to glance at her bewildered expression.
"Broke up?" She repeated in disbelief. 
You hum in response, digging into your backpack next to you and pulling out your notebook to jot down the notes on the board, completely trying to block out Betty and her confusion.
"When?" Betty quizzed, her eyes switching back and fourth from your notebook and your side profile.
"He broke up with me, on my birthday." You tell her, looking back down to your notebook, now scribbling nonsense.
Before she could even respond, you continue.
"Apparently, he was in love with Michelle, you know the girl from our math class? The whole entire time. Well, I don't exactly know when he fell in love with her, but it certainly was during our relationship." You rambled, holding back the frustration and tears that threatened to break through.
days you've been going through for the past few days. You still think it's your fault for why Peter broke up with you, he probably found you boring and you didn't give him the attention he needed, which is why you strongly believe he fell for someone much better than you.
You didn't hate Michelle, you actually genuinely liked the brown curly haired girl, she was quiet and observant and super smart, so you can see why Peter liked her a lot. She could also be dark at times from what you remember, and sure it confused you of how and why Peter liked that but maybe you didn't know your ex as well as you thought.
"Y/N, I am so sorry." Betty said, putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder, which you didn't shrug off because you honestly needed some sort of comfort from the past few days.
"It's nothing, I'll be fine." You lied, turning your attention away from her to look at the board once again as the teacher finally decided to teach the class.
--
It was finally lunch time, and normally you'd sit with Peter and Ned, but that was a no go. Well, it would've been a no go if the other tables weren't full and if Ned hadn't invited you to sit next to him. And who were you to decline an invitation from the nicest boy ever?
So, you made your way to the table that was made for awkward moments, only seeing Ned sit there happily eating his lunch.
"Oh, hi Y/N." Ned greeted you just as you sat directly across from him with your lunch tray in hand.
"Hey." You greeted back, showing a smile.
You knew you were going to regret sitting here, given the fact that Peter is bound to sit here as well and there's no doubt that Michelle would be sitting here also, but you tried to ignore that initiated gut feeling and focus on anything and everything else.
Maybe if Peter saw that you were trying to move on, he'd believe that you did, though all of that is complete and utter bullshit.
"So, you know how in our science class we have that upcoming project about disparities?" You hear Ned's voice ask, glancing at him just in time as he shoves a salty fry into his mouth.
You nod, playing with your food instead, the anxiety slowly creeping into your body.
"Well, I was thinking since you and uhh...you know what never mind. Do you want to be my partner?" Ned questioned quickly, eyes filled with hope.
"Are you only asking me because I'm the smartest in that class?" You tease, narrowing your eyes at him in amusement.
Ned lets out a whole-heartedly chuckle, but before he could joke back a voice you very much expected interrupts you both.
"Sorry, the lunch line was really long..." Peter says defeatedly, tossing his friend a bag of chips  as he sat down next to him.
Okay, so maybe you should've declined Ned's offer, but he was sort of your friend and you didn't have lunch with Betty anymore, plus sitting alone would probably be just as miserable as sitting here with your ex, who was in love with someone else.
You're sure you hear Ned respond to Peter's apology, but you're not quite too sure since your brain and ears are filled with anxiety, your head feeling fuzzy at Peter's presence. You could sometimes occasionally feel Peter's glances, probably curious as to why you're sitting here, but you wanted to make a point that you're over him and you didn't sit here because you cared about him still (which was a lie), but because Ned invited you and he was your sort of friend.
"Michelle's in the library today, since she's not really a people's person." Peter informed Ned after his question as of where the brown curly haired girl was.
You were thankful for that, you didn't think you could handle much more of misery.
You're not one hundred precent sure if they're dating now, but if they are you failed to notice, and maybe Peter is just deciding to take things slow since the boy did just get out of a relationship, with you.
The boys continue to make small talk, you ate in silence, or played with your food in silence until the lunch period was over.
And as soon as the bell rung, you hurriedly got up from the table, threw away your lunch and made a bee-line for the cafeteria doors, shoving and squeezing your way through the herd of students.
You sighed in relief as you made it into the hallway, holding a hand to your chest, almost, just almost crying right then and there but you remembered that you were in public, and at school too.
Just as the students that once littered the busy hallway made their ways to the next class that they had, you heard your name being called in the now shallow hallway.
You turn around hesitantly since you already know that voice all too well.
It wasn't Peter, but Michelle, coming from the library doors.
You always knew somehow god wasn't on your side.
"Hey, uh..." The girl started as soon as she approached you, a clad of books stuffed in her right arm.
"Hey.." You mumbled awkwardly, sparing glances at a few students who walked by to get to their next class.
Michelle was as awkward as you were, it was very obvious in the way that the tension around you surfaced rather quickly. You both knew why, it was an unsaid understanding.
"I think I owe you an apology." Michelle states, her eyes never leaving your face as you slowly trailed yours to look into hers.
"For what?" You dumbly ask.
You knew why, you just needed to hear her say it.
"I never meant for Peter to fall in love with me, and to hurt you. I honestly didn't think you two were a thing until a week ago." She admitted, and you could sense how nervous her voice was with that confession.
 You knew you had a reason not to hate her, she was just as confused as you.
"It's fine, really." You lie, showing a rather obvious fake smile.
"No, no, it's not. I know he broke up with you on your birthday which is a really shitty thing to do, and I also know that it's not fine. If I could take back his feelings for me and give them to you, I would." Michelle concluded, her aura anything but foulness.
It was really reassuring knowing that the girl felt guilty for your now ex's feelings for her, her showing you the unexpected sympathy, something you thought would be the last thing you would receive from her.
But it was always really confusing how if she has feelings for Peter as well, why feel sorry for you? You did want him to be happy, and if it wasn't with you, so be it. You didn't want to be the reason Peter's unhappiness wasn't fulfilled.
"Michelle, listen." You started, standing up straight to look at her.
"I may be going through a lot with this, but I don't want to be the reason Peter is unhappy. That's the last thing I ever want for him. So, if he wants to be with you..." You trailed off with a shrug, hoping she understood where you were going with this.
Instead of answering the girl just stares at you, her eyes confused, as well as her facial expression, the features slowly falling into a more understanding expression, something you wanted her to see.
"Are you sure? I didn't want to get in the way of any unsaid closure..." She says, pressing her lips into a straight line.
Closure. The word only used to resolve problems. You didn't think breaking up with Peter needed closure.
"Oh, right...closure. I guess we do need to talk." You sigh.
"I would before he decides anything else. I mean that is if you're ready, it's only been four days." Michelle tells you, pushing up her books more into her arm as they were slipping.
You knew she was right, you did say yourself you wanted Peter to be happy, even if it was in a short amount of time.
"I'll just text him and ask him to meet me in the library after school." You tell her, hearing the bell ring, signalling the final warning to get to class.
"Good idea, tell me what he says." Michelle says with a nod before walking past you, mumbling a soft 'bye', and you too decide to make your way to your next period.
--
You unfortunately kept true to your word to Michelle, and as soon as your last period was over you texted the last person you wanted to see, asking him if you two could talk and to meet in the library after school.
It only took him maybe five or six minutes to respond, saying a quick 'okay'.
So here you were, really nervous, scared, maybe even sad for obvious reasons, waiting at a table that was way in the back of the library, not wanting to be disturbed by any teachers or students that lingered around in the book filled room.
You silently played with your fingers, your entire body on fire with anxiety. You sort of wished he would hurry up so it can get over and done with.
To be quite honest, it reminds you of the time he admitted to having a crush on you. You both were nervous for two totally different reasons. You, being nervous because you thought he was going to tell you he didn't want to be your friend anymore (and rightfully so because of how he was acting during that time), and him, because he of course liked you.
Any oncoming thoughts were caught short as your gaze was met with a familiar head set of curls, and compelling brown eyes coming your way, in a dazed state.
"Sorry, I uh...was busy." Peter mumbled, setting his backpack (the third one you saw that week), onto the library floor next to the seat he pulled out to sit down at.
"It's fine." You shrugged off, your hands now in your lap, keeping your distance, something you hope he didn't notice.
"So, what is it you wanted to talk about?" He asked, looking at you expectingly.
It took a lot of will power to keep your composure.
"Well, I talked to Michelle.." You trailed off, watching his every movement, seeing his pupils dilate just tiny bit.
"Oh?" Peter questioned, slightly biting his lip nervously.
"Yeah, she said we needed some sort of closure before you decide to get into a relationship to her." You told him, looking down at your fiddling hands in your lap.
Peter took notice of how truly nervous you were, and he couldn't help but feel bad, knowing he was the main reason for this.
He also noticed the lack of sleep, due to the much obvious under bags in your eyes, something he had a feeling also had to do with him.
"Right, closure." Peter nodded, clearing his throat.
There were a load of questions you had for him, many that probably would help you better understand how, when and why he fell out of love with you the moment he spent more time with Michelle.
His distance from you during the upcoming end of your relationship put you in a spiral of thoughts, the kind of thoughts that kept you up at night. It also didn't help that you were already an over thinker and the thought of messing up your relationship with Peter always scared you.
Most people would say that dreams come true not nightmares. It wounded you more than anything that you biggest fear did in fact come true.
You didn't really care if he was going to end up dating Michelle, it was bound to happen anyway. You just wanted to know the when and why. You wanted to know what you lacked during that time so in future relationships, you'd be able to avoid it.
"Before we talk, I, um, bought you this." You hear Peter say, the boy reaching inside of his backpack, digging in it before retreating it with an item, holding it toward you.
You reluctantly look up from where your eyes were practically trained on your lap, your hands still shyly there.
It was a small box decorated in your favourite colour, purple.
"What's this?" You curiously asked, taking it from his expecting hand.
"Just a late birthday gift." Peter shrugged, obviously not aware of just how inappropriate and inconvenient his timing was.
"Oh." Was all you said before stuffing it in your pocket.
You'd open it later.
As the day went on, the awkward tension build up, rarely anyone now was in the library, a few ongoing studiers, parents with their kids, or just advocate readers. You wanted some sort of miracle to happen so you wouldn't have to go through this uncomfortable situation.
It was clear neither of you knew how to start this conversation. You had no idea what to say or how to approach the topic of the closure you needed.
You couldn't tell if Peter noticed how miserable your appearance was, both mentally and physically, but you knew he must have known somehow.
"I'm really sorry I broke up with you on your birthday, had I known...I'd probably would've waited." Peter finally speaks up, with a heavy lump down his throat.
Your hands bare on the table as you shuffle in your seat, preparing on a proper response.
The thought of Peter going to break up with your regardless if it was your birthday or not makes your heart feel heavy with a forlorn weight.
"It's, I, it's okay, I guess." You murmur, blinking rapidly for effect.
Another silence settled, and this time you did nothing (like you were before) to speak up and stop it. You thought the more quiet, the less talking and you wouldn't get hurt anymore if either one of you even tried to utter a word.
"I know I hurt you," The boy started, and you look up, waiting for him to continue. "But, I can't say that I, you know what, never mind." Peter waves off, struggling to find the write words.
"And you're barely saying anything makes this a lot harder than it should be Y/N." He says in defeat, reaching out to clasp his hands onto yours.
There was nothing on your end, nothing to be said, nothing you wanted to say. Though you needed closure, you really had no idea what to say. How do you tell someone that you clearly still had feelings for that you love him?
Peter of course, had no idea you even loved him, he of course knew you probably still harboured feelings for him, but he didn't know you had stronger deeper feelings for him. Had the boy not broken up with you on your birthday, you probably would slipped the L word, which probably wouldn't make anything better if you're being honest.
"I'm sorry, I just....don't know what to say." You admit, the warmth of his skin on top of yours sending a wave of shivers from your arms through your entire body.
"Start by telling me how you feel." Peter suggested, and that might not had been the brightest of ideas.
You felt like shit. There hadn't been a day that went by after your dreadful birthday where you didn't.
You squint your eyes at him, slowly removing your hands from his grasp.
"I feel like shit." You tell him, giving the boy a timid look, watching him nod slowly in understanding.
"Right, probably should've guessed that." Peter said shyly, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Sorry." He adds on.
"You say that a lot, but do you actually mean it?" You ask him quietly, watching his pupils dilate at your request.
"'Course I do!" Peter almost exclaims, his eyes now wide.
"I-, listen I know I hurt you bad, but the last thing I want is for you to hate me." He stated, pouting slightly.
You didn't hate him, and you think that's even worse.
"I don't hate you, don't think I ever can." You say, pressing your lips together.
It'd probably be a good thing to tell him you loved him, but you were in public and it would hurt even worst if he neglected your love (which would most likely happen) in such a public area.
Maybe you should wait till later, or just honestly get it over and done with, the sooner the better, you thought.
"If I'm being honest Peter, I think-" You begin, your heart pounding wildly against your chest. Your head screaming at you not to do it, but when have you ever listened to your head instead of your heart?
"I think I love you." You whisper at your quietest volume, and hopefully god was on your side,. Hoping maybe Peter didn't hear it, but you lacked the knowledge of knowing Peter's secret abilities.
Either time froze or Peter was stuck in place for whatever reason (you were sure you knew) it was. Things seemed to have frozen around you, the people you were once aware of now gone, just you and your ex in this moment. And was it such a vulnerable one.
You watch as the boy's mouth fell open and closed, trying to conjure up something, anything to say at your sudden confession.
Your heart fell deeper into your stomach as the silence grew, you wished this time it wasn't so evident, the lack of ventilate from him bothering your head.
After a two minutes of silence Peter quickly gets up from his seat, grabbing his backpack and slinging it over his shoulder almost clumsily.
"I-, I havetogo, sorry." The boy swiftly says, stumbling over his words before nearly tripping over a few chairs.
You figured this wouldn't happen, which might have been ten times worst than him actually saying something in return.
--
You had wiped the falling tears from your face, the mirror in front of you mocking your actions, but no matter what, the wet substance from your eyes would still fall down a lot heavier.
You sniffled before exiting the bathroom, making a beeline to your bedroom, closing the door and cuddling up into the bed.
After your conversation (if you'd even call it that) with Peter at the library, the minute you got home, you were hit with a wave of saddness. You cried more than you did on your birthday, and now you wish you hadn't told your ex boyfriend you loved him, didn't matter anyway.
You were grateful your mom had a late shift tonight, you couldn't bare the thought of her seeing you at your worst, questioning why you were the way you were. You lacked to even tell the woman you and Peter were no longer dating. You figured you'd wait a few weeks then drop the bomb on her, hopefully she'd spare Peter, but given her personality, you truly doubt it.
The crying hadn't really stopped, so when your face hit your soft pillows and more tears that got more intense as the night went on, you weren't all that surprised.
What did surprised you was the obsessive knocking at your bedroom window.
You didn't bother to wipe your tears when you sat up from your bed, aiming your direction at the window, furrowing your eyebrows in confusion when you saw your neighbourhood superhero instead of some sort of bird.
"Spider-Man?" You questioned bewilderedly as you approach your bedroom window, opening it from its handle.
You knew of him from the news, and it was really shocking to you that him of all people were here at your window at something at night for whatever the reason was.
"What are you doing here?" You ask him again, watching the hero crouch on the railing of your fire escape.
"Believe it or not but I heard you..." He says steadily, and you rose an eyebrow at him.
"Not that I was you know listening or anything, but I was near by and my senses can pick up things from far away." Spider-Man quickly says, holding out a hand in defence.
"Oh." You say, tilting your head as you wiped your tears.
"Seemed like a damsel in distress sort of thing..." He trailed off, expectingly waiting for your response.
You had no reason to tell this stranger your secrets, you both knew that, but something inside of you wanted to. You hadn't even known the hero for five seconds and yet you were ready to tell him your deepest darkest confessions.
"It's nothing." You settled for, having some moral ground.
"Sad movie?" Spider-Man suggested.
"Yeah." You nod, sniffling a bit.
Maybe he thought you were in some sort of trouble, but the more you thought about it the less sense it made to to tell a stranger about your conversation with your ex at a public library. 
What advice could he possible give that would make you feel better? You don't know if he's ever even gone through something like that.
"Oh, well hope you feel better." Spider-Man offered. "Just doing my part of the 'friendly neighbourhood' motto." He adds, making you chuckle.
"Thanks." You smile.
You couldn't pin point it, but he seemed oddly familiar, maybe it was because he was so nice to you after your horrible day, week even, but you really appreciated his kind gesture.
"I-" He started, unravelling himself from his crouching position to stand on your fire escape.
"Y/N." Spider-Man says, and your eyes widen marginally.
Had you told him your name? You couldn't remember, but never the less even if you didn't, you wondered how he knew in the first place. Maybe you slipped it out from habit or he was some stalker type of hero.
The hero seemed to have noticed your confused state, the vigilante quickly ripping off his mask to try and calm your nerves, but you recognize his face all too well, instinctively going to shut the window, but unfortunately for your his senses way too quick for yours, his strength inhumane.
"Wait!" Peter cried out as you still tried to close the window but to no avail. 
Peter easily slides the window up, causing you to let go repulsively, backing up from it as he slowly climbed in.
Every bone in your body was telling you to run, but where would you go, who would you tell? Now you never would tell anyone about your ex being the Queens superhero, but you don't think you can bare having this secret known to you so suddenly.
Peter being Spider-Man is a surprise, of course, and him using his alter ego just to talk to you in some sense after quite literally running away from your confession was making your mind fuzzy to say the least.
You started to shake your head for no particular reason, watching the boy close your window before turning back to you, his hair wild most likely from the mask, and a evident pout on his face.
"You-, you love me?" Peter asked, his voice cracking.
You couldn't conjure up the right words, your mind blank with empty thoughts. It was still shocking to you that Peter of all people was the spiderling you only ever seen on the news.
You never paid much attention to Spider-Man, and if you did, you'd probably would have figured out that Peter was him if you connected the dots properly.
"Y/N, please answer me." He pleaded, breaking you from your train of thoughts. You were sure you looked like a deer caught in headlights at this point.
"I don't know..." You whispered, fiddling with with your fingers as sweat trickled down your forehead.
"But at the library you said-" Peter starts.
"I know what I said." You tell him, meeting his brown eyed gaze.
You blinked back tears, Peter approaching your figure, and you would had backed up to get away from him but you were stuck in-between him and the bed. Fortunately he placed his mask on top of your bed, releasing it from his brutal grip, you two now in close distance.
You were getting deja vu, the boy staring at your face, perfecting every angle he could before closing his eyes and exhaling a breath he had been holding in.
"You really shouldn't had told me that." He whispered, and you bit your bottom lip, nervously nibbling on it.
Peter reopens his eyes, greeting you with the honey colour you were familiar with, his pupils getting smaller as it adjusted to the light, you felt bad for the sad expression that was held on his face.
He slowly brings a hand up to your face, wiping a tear that had unknowingly fallen down your face before pushing some of your hair behind your right ear.
It's been a long time since he's showed you this kind of affirmation, the last time he ever did something remotely similar was the time he had broken up with you. You had no clue what he was thinking, was he going to kiss you, or scold at you for expressing your love for him when he clearly loved another? The possibilities were endless like the ocean, and so you wished he'd only say his motive so your anxiety wasn't so obvious.
Peter's eyes dip to your lips before glancing back to your eyes, him silently asking for permission. You give the boy a nod as your answer, mirroring his actions when he closes his eyes and leans in.

Finding information on Jamila wasn't particularly easy, but from what I can gather...
(credit to @eepop-stuffs btw for getting her on my radar!)
Tumblr media
Jamila was first released in 2006 by Simba Toys Middle East. According to an article published upon her debut at the 2006 Middle East Toy Fair in Dubai, her prototype initially intended to include fashions representing Turkey, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. However, these concepts never made it to final release, and we unfortunately have no photos of what they would have looked like.

Her initial lineup consisted of four dolls: herself, her male Arabic friend Jamil, her Indian friend Sunayana, and her Egyptian friend Kareema.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The name Jamila means "beautiful", and she seems to have only really been released with one outfit. She wore a black abaya with silver detailing with black shoes, and underneath wore a light blue tanktop with a white pencil skirt. Like her friends Sunayana and Kareema, Jamila has dark hair, brown eyes, and henna on her hands and feet.

For those unaware, Henna is a form of body decoration which originated from Africa and the Middle East, used with a natural dye from the Mehendi (lawsonia inermis). It is commonly tied to religious ceremonies such as engagements, weddings, Diwali, and Eid!
For Eid Al-Fitr, Henna would be applied towards the end of Ramadan as a symbol of the earthly delight of being alive. Jamila (and Sunayana if we're to believe they had identical Henna) seems to have eye imagery in hers, which represents protection from evil thoughts or wishes. It's also found on the top of her hands, also symbolizing protection, and on her feet, meant to soothe the nerves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The name Jamil means "handsome". Jamil was initially released clean-shaven, but it seems later releases gave him facial hair. This might have been around the same time he was changed from Jamila's male friend to her husband, likely because (although opposite-sex friendships aren't explicitly forbidden) certain Muslims worry such friendships might result in inappropriate romantic thoughts. While this doesn't seem to be a unanimous belief across the board (many believing opposite-sex friendships are fine so long as you're careful), it might have caused enough controversy that Simba felt the need to marry the two so there weren't any implications.

Ngl tho he is giving me major Kenergy...
Tumblr media
Jamil comes with a white Thobe with silver buttons, a white Serwal ( undergarments traditionally worn beneath the Thobe), a white cotton undershirt, a white headscarf known as a Ghutra (tied with a black band called the Egal), black sandals, and a small dagger.
I'm actually not sure why his doll comes with a knife? The closest I could find was the Kirpan: a knife or sword which serves as a reminder to promote justice and protect the weak, mandatory for Amritdhari Sikhs to wear at all times. However, although non-Muslims sometimes confuse the two, Sikhism is a completely separate religion from Islam.
If anyone knows what this knife might be intended to represent, please let me know and I'll reblog an edit to this post!
Tumblr media
After they were married, Jamila and Jamil had two children: Asad (meaning "Lion") and Almira (meaning "Princess"), both seen in the first illustration on this post. However, I can only seem to find one doll release for their daughter Almira, and none for Asad. Jamila comes in this playset in her base outfit, while her daughter (who cries when you press her stomach) wears pink pajamas. The playset includes a crib and several plastic accessories, including two hair brushes, a blow drier, and a baby bottle. Not only is this only release for Almira, but this also seems to be the only other release for Jamila aside from her initial core doll.
Tumblr media
Sunayana means "woman with lovely eyes". She has long braided black hair, wearing a blue Lehenga Choli with a yellow Dupatta. Like Jamila, she also has henna on her hands and feet. She wears silver bangles, a silver necklace, and what I believe might be a Maang Tikka. Based on her images on the back of the doll boxes, I'm fairly certain she came wearing yellow sandal heels as well!
Honestly she might be one of my favorites of the line, since you sadly don't see many culturally-accurate Indian dolls compared to other ethnic groups. I especially love the use of color, and just how much jewelry she comes with!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally we have Jamila's Egyptian friend Kareema, whose name means "generous" or "kind". She has pale pink undergarments painted on beneath her clothes, which I assume Jamila has as well. Weirdly enough, however, she doesn't seem to have Henna like the other two.
Like Sunayana and Jamila she has long black hair, which is kept beneath a white hijab. She wears a long blue overcoat, matching jeans, blue shoes, and a multicolored striped shirt. As far as I can tell, her clothing doesn't seem to have Egyptian cultural roots like Sunayana's has Indian, however her modest style of dress and hijab are common for most Muslim women.
I've been meaning to make this post for at least a full week, and it's nice to finally get to share another beautiful yet obscure Muslim doll! It's a shame this doll didn't have more releases, since I'm honestly curious with the direction the might have taken with her and her friends based on the prior illustration! Regardless, I'm happy I got to share her and her friends with you all :)
Ramadan Kareem!

Until We Reunite..
Tumblr media
A Kamisato Ayato Fanfiction
Warnings: modern au, mentions of character death and violence, angst to fluff, hurt/comfort, reincarnation themes. Ayato x fem!reader (reader is named Sakura)
This one’s gonna be pretty long!
“A..Ayato…” you whispered softly, voice broken with pain as you reached out your bloodied hand towards your husband, tears streaming down your cheeks. “S..Sakura..forgive me..I couldn’t..protect..” he cried softly, barely managing to crawl towards you, holding your hand. Both of your bodies were filled with slashes and wounds, blood spilling uncontrollably ruining the expensive silk clothes that once shone brightly, adorning you both. You both knew this was the end, that you both were going to die. At least by the grace of God, you would die together. You weakly reached out your other hand to him, cupping his cheek. “Don’t..blame yourself my love..this is not your fault..nor is this the end of our love.” His pain filled amethyst eyes stared at you, somehow trying to pull you closer despite how badly wounded he was. “Will we meet each other again, perhaps in a better time?” He whispered weakly, not wishing to part with you. How cruel fate was, snatching away his happiness from him just when he had found it. You mustered up a small smile, nodding as you felt your energy being drained away, your heartbeats fading into nothingness. “I promise..we will find each other again in another life. I am forever bound to you, Kamisato Ayato..” Taking deep ragged breaths, he managed to place a last kiss on your forehead, holding you close as his own life force started giving away. “Until we reunite my love..” And just like that, you both breathed your last, buried in a bloodied embrace and an unfulfilled promise..
500 years later
There he stood, as elegantly as ever, his messy blue hair, classy outfit and AirPods in his ears. His bag hung loosely down his right shoulder as he stood leaning against the wall, engrossed in his phone completely unaware of the number of girls fangirling over him, their eyes dreamy and filled with daydreams of this immaculate man, or so they thought. After all, Kamisato Ayato was the smartest boy in college. You too, were no different except the fact that you were way more subtle and decent than the other girls present around. You had been crushing over Ayato for around 2 years now, but of course you could never confess. He was the epitome of perfection, class and elegance, and he was no doubt very rich. Yet his demeanour was that of a gentleman, he was eloquent and an excellent student. It wasn’t like you were just some random student, on the contrary you were beautiful yourself, but you were very different. Unlike everyone else, you preferred a simplistic lifestyle, without any makeup or heavy accessories. You were always clad in simple yet classy clothes, and never attended college parties or fests. Being around crowds was just not your cup of tea, you would much rather spend that time in the library, reading about ancient civilisations and historic records. You were a history major after all, while he was a business management student.
In your eyes, you both were worlds apart. You weren’t as rich as him, not were you as popular as him. You both were…acquaintances at best, having collaborated twice when he, to your utter surprise, had requested your help in his project. He wished to show in his detailed project the future prospects of creating devices that can decipher ancient texts and inscriptions. His particular interest was in the ancient civilisation of Narukami, which had fallen to a Great War. He needed someone who could provide him with honest feedback on his idea, and after doing his own research, he decided that you were the most capable person for the job. You were a top student in your major, and had done multiple research papers on inazuman history. You still remember the way your infatuation had just grown during the time you were helping him, but alas, all good things must come to an end, and so did your collaboration. Ever since then, you both never had the chance to interact, except sharing courteous smiles when bumping into each other in the corridors.
Sighing softly, you shook yourself out of your thoughts. “He can’t be yours Sakura!” You kept reminding yourself, making your way to the library. It was way better to distract yourself in reading than get distracted by the handsome features of Ayato. Walking through the isles of your large campus library, your eyes searched for a book you had been waiting for, ‘The Tales Of Narukami’, which had become a best seller recently. Your eyes lit up as you found the book, but then you mentally groaned seeing the book kept so high up in the rack. “Oh for god’s sake..” you mumbled, standing on your tip toes to try and reach the book, but to your dismay, you could not reach it. As you were about to give up, you saw an elegant hand easily grab the book, adorned with a gold and platinum ring, and a limited edition Rolex.
“Here you go.”
Oh gosh you knew this voice all too well. The same deep voice that gave you butterflies in your stomach, the same voice that made your heart skip a beat and the same voice you yearned to hear every single day. You turned around to face him, gasping softly at the close proximity between you two as you timidly reached out to take the book, trying not to blush right in front of him. What you didn’t notice was the way Ayato’s amethyst eyes flickered with amusement and adoration. Ah if only you knew how adorable you looked with your pink cheeks. “Thank you so much Ayato.” You mustered the courage to look into his gorgeous lavender eyes that shown ever so brightly. Gosh he was so perfect, so tall and handsome, leaning over you effortlessly. “Don’t mention it Sakura.” He gave you his charming smile, stepping back leaving space between you both. You immediately felt this sense of disappointment as his warmth and scent left you, but you were careful not to let it show.
You smiled softly, heading to an empty table in a corner of the library and to your utter confusion, Ayato followed you, sitting right in front. “I do hope you don’t mind me taking some of your time? There are a few things I wish to discuss with you.” He spoke, his voice soft and eyes tender as he gazed at you. “Oh of course not, please tell me what it is that you wish to discuss.” You watched as he placed his hands on the table, adjusting his posture. “Well then- I will not beat around the bush. I wish to…take you out on a date.” What? What did he just say? It was very clear by your expressions that you were absolutely dumbfounded. Ayato found it so endearing that he wished he could click a picture and save it for himself. “Huh?” Was the only thing that you could say. Were you dreaming? Your absolute crush was asking you out on a date?
Ayato let out an amused chuckle as he nodded, ever so gently holding your delicate hand into his larger and warm one. “I know this may seem very sudden, but truth be told, I have been infatuated by you for quite some time now..So Sakura, will you do me the honour of being my date?” That’s it, you could no longer hold back your smile. You blushed profusely, butterflies swarming your being as this moment felt like a dream come true. “I…I would love to Ayato..” His smile visibly brightens, making him look heartbreakingly handsome. Of course, he knew you would say yes, but hearing you say it felt even more surreal. “I am truly delighted to hear that. If you are free this Saturday, I can arrange something that will definitely be to your liking.”
You smiled shyly, nodding. “Saturday sounds good.” “Great! Well then how about you give me your number, and I’ll come to pick you up on Saturday?” You became flustered at how gentlemanly he was, stuttering. “Oh! You..you needn’t go through so much trouble-“ He holds you hand again, silencing your words. “It is no trouble, it is but proper etiquette. Besides, where I’m gonna take you will be a little surprise~” You ended up giggling shyly, and your melodious giggles made Ayato’s heart flutter. Eventually you agreed, giving him your number and assuring him that you’ll send him your address. “Well then I’ll take my leave, my class is about to start. I’ll see you soon Sakura.” “Goodbye Ayato!” You smiled happily at him, waving sweetly as he left.
You still could not believe what had just happened. You got up, issuing the book to be borrowed as you headed home, feeling so giddy and excited. The whole day you lay in bed, kicking your feet like an excited child. Just then you heard your phone’s notification, and to your delight, it was Ayato. You quickly opened his texts, a smile adorning your features.
“Hey, it’s me, Ayato. I hope you got home safely.”
“Hello Ayato, and yes, I did reach home safely.” urgh, how is he this perfect and such a gentleman??
“I am glad to hear that. And I am looking forward to seeing you again.”
“So am I.. ah which reminds me, here’s my address!”
“Noted, I’ll be there by 4 pm. Dress up a little, I’m taking you somewhere fancy.”
“What- Ayato you don’t need to!”
“Oh hush, it’s nothing. I want you to have the best date ever. After all, first impressions matter~”
“No need to worry about that Mr. Kamisato, you’ve already made an excellent first impression..”
The next 2 days pass by in a flash, only this time, you saw Ayato way more frequently as he would come to visit you in the library, listening to you fondly as you talked animatedly about the history of Inazuma. He loved the way your eyes shone due to how passionate you were about the subject, and your knowledge impressed him. Likewise, he would also share his interests with you, once even bringing his favourite boba tea for you. The increasing closeness between you both had become a hot topic for gossip at college, as a lot of girls envied you, and a lot of guys envied Ayato. Oh well, neither of you cared as your feelings for one another kept blossoming.
Saturday arrived finally, and you looked at yourself in the mirrror, wearing a beautiful floral dress with stilettos and your hair down. Grabbing your wallet and phone you rushed outside hearing a car honk, which was probably Ayato. Upon stepping outside, your eyes landed on the immaculate man seated in the car, wearing a black shirt with black pants, his hair falling gracefully on his right shoulder. Oh he looked so good that you couldn’t handle it. He was indeed God’s finest creation, each feature of his perfect self crafted with care and time. You smiled shyly, sitting in the car beside him.
Ayato meanwhile, was completely awestruck by your beauty. You looked so magnificent that all he wanted to do was wrap you in his arms and kiss you until you were breathless, he just wanted to make you his girlfriend already. “You look…so beautiful Sakura..simply stunning..your beauty always amazes me.” You blushed at his words, and to his delight your cheeks turned as pink as the flowers on your dress. “Thank you Ayato, you look reallly handsome too..” He chuckles at your words as you both set off for your destination. “Why thank you. Now as for our destination..Well have you ever heard of the Grand Narukami Museum?” Your eyes widened in disbelief at his words. “What..no way..Ayato that is the biggest and most sought after museum! Its tickets are literally impossible to get! How did you even-“
Ayato simply laughs at your babbling, shaking his head. “It was not that difficult really, my mother is a trustee of that place. When I told her that my date was such a master at history, she was more than pleased to let me take you there. I figured you would enjoy being there.” You felt your heart melt, and you swore you just fell so in love with him. “Oh Ayato..I cannot thank you enough..I’ve dreamed of going to this museum!” “Is that so? Well then, I’m going to fulfil many such dreams of yours, if you’ll let me.” You blush once again, nodding “I would like nothing more than that..” He smiles at your words, gently holding one hand of yours, intertwining it with his. You felt instant shivers at his soothing touch, his warm and larger hand engulfing your giving you a strange feeling of safety and comfort. How was he able to have such an effect on you already?
After a while the car stopped as you both reached the biggest museum in all of Inazuma, one where getting entry was next to impossible for a common person due to the precious and mysterious artefacts present here. It is said that there are countless precious objects from the ancient Narukami civilisation that archaeologists and historians have still not been able to classify. You still could not believe that you were getting a chance to see this place for yourself. “Shall we M’lady?” ayato’s soothing voice snapped you out of your trance as he offered you his arm like the gentleman he was. “Yes, yes we shall..” holding his arm gently, you both made your way inside. Upon spotting Kamisato Ayato, the guards and staff bowed to him, as you both reciprocated the action. “Sir Kamisato, we welcome you. Everything you had requested has been arranged. We hope you both have a wonderful time.” He nods with a polite smile “You have my utmost gratitude.”
As you two made your way inside the museum, a soft gasp left your mouth due to how much you were in awe of this place. “Oh my god…this is..beyond beautiful..” Ayato smiles at you, not disturbing your train of thoughts, rather choosing to admire you in this moment. He loved how you gained happiness from such simple and knowledgeable things rather than materialistic ones. You were unique in his eyes, and the fact that you stood out from the crowd drew him towards you. He showed you around the museum, your enthusiasm was contagious as you excitedly spoke about all the relics you recognised, even leaving the staff of the museum in awe of your knowledge. “Miss, your extensive knowledge is truly remarkable. We have never seen someone identify these objects so quickly.” The manager spoke, making you flush. “Ah I..i just am very interested in the history of our land that’s all..” Ayato chuckles at your modesty, holding you closer with affection. “She is indeed extraordinary..”
The two of you had a lot of fun there, as your bond only seemed to grow stronger. The last section of the museum was the portraits of the rulers of the ancient civilisations, which was an area not many were allowed to see. But since you were with Ayato, anything was possible. “This is the final section of our tour I believe.” Ayato spoke, his eyes roaming around the countless portraits. “Oh my…these are all original paintings from back then!” You left Ayato’s side to walk ahead, eyes shining. He chuckled too, walking behind to a section of paintings.
As you were walking, you came across a portrait that made you stop dead in your tracks. There stood a man, wielding a hydro sword and dressed in expensive silk robes, his blue hair and lavender eyes staring right into you. What on earth was Ayato’s portrait doing here? The resemblance was almost terrifying, making you turn around and look at Your Ayato, who was admiring a painting of the Grand Narukami Shrine. You stepped closer to the painting, reading the details. “Kamisato Ayato, head of the Kamisato Clan and Yashiro Commissioner of Inazuma. Murdered along with his wife in 1530 at the age of 28..” How come you had never read about this man anywhere? And…why on earth is he the exact same like the man you’re on a date with? The name, the features, everything…You stared up at the portrait again, and an unexplainable ache took over your heart, tears filling your eyes. It felt like you knew him, like you missed him dearly. You felt connected to him. But why?
Meanwhile, Ayato walked towards a portrait that made him stunned, as he froze on the spot. It was..you. A painting of you, only..you were dressed in a beautiful silk kimono embroidered with threads of gold, your hair made in an elegant bun. Your eyes were gentle, an expression of authority and elegance was visible on your face. What..what in Teyvat was going on? He searched for details of the portrait, reading softly. “Kamisato Sakura, First Lady of the Kamisato Clan and wife of the Yashiro Commissioner, Kamisato Ayato. Murdered in 1530 with her husband at the age of 26..” wait what? Kamisato Sakura? The name, the face, everything was the same. That was undoubtedly you, but how? And the Yashiro Commissioner had the same name as him? He looked at the portrait again, and winced as a dull pain struck his head. Countless emotions flowed through him the longer he stared at the portrait. Guilt, agony, anger, grief…
“Ayato..”
“Sakura!”
You both spoke at the same time, facing one another. You both were shocked again to see portraits of people who looked just like you, the resemblance so uncanny that it left you both speechless. “Ayato look..” you pointed at a portrait of the Kamisato couple, standing together in all their glory wrapped in a gentle embrace. Their eyes were full of love for one another, the joy visible on their faces. At that very moment the world spun around as you winced at the sudden headache you got, closing your eyes as countless memories flooded through your mind like an untold story forgotten in time..
“Do you take Kamisato Ayato to be your husband for all eternity?”
“Yes, I do”
“And do you take Kujou Sakura to be your wife for all eternity?”
“Yes, always.”
Ayato’s amused eyes flickered towards you, the all too familiar teasing smile adorning his features. “Daarin, how long do you plan on staring at me hm?” You blushed at his words, getting up to adjust his clothes and help him put on his coat. “Is it a crime for me to admire my husband Lord Kamisato?~” his melodious laughter filled your ears, as he held you close, placing a loving kiss on your forehead. “Of course not Lady Kamisato, I am all yours.”
“Ayato come on, take a break my love, you seem so tired. Let me make you a cup of tea.” He gave you a grateful smile, looking visibly tired from all the paperwork. “Thank you Daarin, you’re right, I should take a break..”
“I’m home my beloved!” “Ayato!! Welcome home, how was your trip to Watatsumi island?” He smiled lovingly, embracing you as he inhaled your scent. “It was successful, negotiations have been going smoothly.” You snuggled closer to him, basking in his warmth. “I’m so proud of you! Her excellency will be very pleased to hear this.”
“I love you Kamisato Sakura.”
“I love you eternally too Kamisato Ayato..”
“Sakura!! No, please don’t hurt her, leave her alone!” Ayato begged for the first time, crying as the enemies stabbed you, making you fall onto your knees, gasping for air. “NO!!” He shrieked, wanting to reach out to you but alas, the enemies surrounded him, enjoying the agony of the Yashiro Commissioner. He fought endlessly, his body filled with slashes and wounds, but it was of no use. In the end, he lost, thrown to the ground near you, bleeding profusely. “A..Ayato..” you whispered brokenly, reaching out your bloodied hand to him.
How cruel fate was, only giving you both 4 years of bliss until you both were brutally murdered on that fateful night, ending the legacy of the Kamisato Clan and the Yashiro Commission. That was how the downfall of the great empire of Inazuma began, as the two lovers breathed their last, dying in one another’s embrace with a promise left to fulfill…
You gasped audibly, tears falling down uncontrollably as all the memories of your past life came rushing back to you. As you blinked through your tears, you noticed you were sitting on the floor, embraced in a tight hug by Ayato, who also seemed to be crying endlessly. All the memories had come back to him, making him fearful of losing you again. It felt like yesterday when he saw you getting stabbed and kicked away, while he was helplessly surrounded by countless enemies. Both of you stayed like that for a long time, embracing each other as you shed tears for your past life, for all the memories you could have made if only you had lived. Tears that symbolised love, pain, loss and now, a fulfilled promise.
“Ayato..” you spoke after a long while, looking up at him. Now it felt so different, now it felt like you had known him all your life. You cupped his cheek softly, wiping away his tears just like you had all those centuries ago. “Dont blame yourself..” He cried bitterly, caging you in his arms. “It was all my fault, I could not protect you..everything was lost..we could have had so many more memories..” You smiled sadly, making him look into your eyes. His tear filled amethyst eyes hurt your soul, as you brushed his hair away. “We have an entire lifetime to make memories now. I told you, my soul is bound to you..that was not the end of our love. Look, we found each other again..” Those words put a smile on his face as he nodded, hugging you closer than ever. “Yes..our promise has now been fulfilled. We are reunited my love, and this time I promise, no one will ever come in between us and our love. This time, I’ll protect you until the end of time..”
As you both sat there, embraced in the safety and warmth of your arms, the portrait in front of you glowed, the smiles of your past selves widening a little. Your love was unending, having the power to transcend time. After all, your wedding vows to each other were that you would love one another for every eternity.

Hob does cosplay at the conventions he attends. He's done a lot of popular fandoms and has become semi-internet famous for how good his cosplays are. He's never charged for a photo or done it professionally. It's just his hobby.
Dream is a photographer. He attends a lot of cons to snap professional pictures of the panels and is often just there to make some cash. Not that he doesn't have an interest in fandom. He just believes that a piece of media and your reaction to that media is personal. He has to really really enjoy something to get into the fandom of that thing.
They meet while Dream is taking a smoke break in between panels. Hob was trying to escape a rather touchy fan threatening to ruin his delicate costume. They chat and hit it off, Hob invites him to a room party after the con. They fuck and life goes on.
Until the next convention, some anime festival that's big for their neck of the woods. The pay is great and Dream gets to sit in on a screening of a rather obscure Japanese film that's just now being subbed. He also runs into Hob there, he's dressed as Tuxedo Mask and has drawn in a lot of Sailor Scouts who want photos with him and the real roses he's been carrying around to give to all the Usagi cosplayers.
They meet again during a smoke break and once again Hob invites him up to his room. Rinse and repeat.
But now Dream is kinda obsessed? Hob is a very good lay and a wonderful conversation partner. But alas, Hob never gave him his socials or his number. They haven't even exchanged names.
The next big con happening is Star Trek. Brent Spiner and Micheal Dorn are gonna be there, it's great. Unfortunately there's no need for Dream to attend bc they didn't hire him. They hired someone a bit cheaper than he is. There's also a massive wedding he's been approached to shoot and the money is too good to pass up.
Dream comes to the con dressed in some cheap Amazon knock-off Starfleet uniform and goes looking for his man. He finds Hob talking with John De Lancie while dressed as Judge Q. He approaches and attempts to talk to Hob, who brings up his shitty costume. Dream feels a bit self conscious about this until Hob invites him back to his room. After all he has a few costumes Dream can use <3
- 🤜 anon
Omg cosplayer Hob 🥵 I immediately imagined him as Toji from jjk (with a big plushie worm cursed spirit) and I don't think I'll ever recover from the hotness.
Dream is genuinely obsessed with this funny, beautiful, talented man. And yes, he did stalk Hob online a little bit, ok. He may have watched one (or a thousand) of his tiktoks. But he doesn't have the courage to message Hob outside of their lil meet up and fuck routine. He'd die inside if Hob didn't message him back! Meeting him in person is somehow less intimidating - maybe because he can see Hob's kind, smiling face.
And holy fuck, he's glad that he went to that Star Trek con. Hob practically drags him back to his room and they barely even make it to the bed. Hob tears the shitty uniform apart (rip, it served him well) and ravishes Dream, almost like he's been thinking about Dream every day since they last met up... he eventually confesses after fucking Dream to the point of seeing stars, that he found Dream’s website and details online but felt too shy to reach out to him...
Dream just has to roll Hob over and eat him out until he cries. He's too happy and delighted to do anything else!
A few months later they hit up a big con together, dressed as Aziraphale and Crowley. Hob made their costumes and all the accessories and Dream spends the whole day taking pics of his boyfriend and telling everyone how talented Hob is <3

More Headcanons: cause I love projecting on my favorite characters
The whole “ew are we in Staten Island” quote is an inside joke that the twins have 
5 years ago they ended up in Staten island by themselves and they described it as “the worst experience ever”
They refuse to go anywhere near Staten island after the “Incident™” and they also refuse to talk about it 
Anytime anyone mentions Staten Island the twins will interrupt them and say “ew ew gross don't talk about that evil place while I’m in the room!”
And the single time Splinter ever stepped foot in Staten Island the twins insisted that he needed to be decontaminated before he reentered the lair 
For the first 5 years of their life, the boys shared a room 
Donnie and Leo shared a bed
Raph had a bed all to himself and Mikey slept in a hammock cause he couldn't fall asleep with Raph snoring in his ear 
Donnie’s shell was Leo’s favorite pillow 
According to him “memory foam pillows have got nothing on Dontron” 
The group will have sleepovers in the living room at least once a week 
Sometimes their week is jampacked and it only happens during their movie nights 
And sometimes the trauma kind of builds up and they can’t sleep through the night without each other
Leo still uses Donnie as his pillow and when he complains Leo always says that Donnie stole his pillow (he didn’t) and this is payback
Leo and Mikey are both blanket hogs and Raph is a pillow hog 
Whenever they have these sleepovers they always make a pillow fort 
Donnie is in charge of making the pillow fort stable 
He will draw actual detailed blueprints if you leave him alone long enough
Leo is in charge of making sure the fort is comfy
He’ll collect every single clean pillow in the lair and put them in the fort
Raph is in charge of lights and stuffed animals 
He’ll just grab Christmas lights and the stuffed animals from his room
April is in charge of bringing the movies and setting up the music 
Because who doesn’t love some background music?
And Mikey is in charge of snacks 
If anyone tries to step into the kitchen when he’s getting ready he will bite them
Leo and April take turns  painting everyone's nails and the boys take turns styling April’s hair 
Sometimes April loves it so much that she asks them to style her hair before class
The boys help April get ready for her dates 
She could be dating someone for 8 years and still feel a need to look perfect on date night
Leo helps her with skincare and paints her nails (he has the steadiest hands (cause you know… medic)) 
Mikey helps her with makeup and he always makes sure that every color in her outfit matches 
Donnie helps with accessories (bags/jewelry)
And Raph is mostly there for moral support he’s the one that calms April down after she has a panic attack (cause let’s face it dates are stressful) 
They have sibling bracelets (it’s literally just charm bracelets with all their initials in their colors)
When Donnie gave them to the group they cried and hugged each other for a solid minute 
There may or may not be a tracker in every single initial
The whole group either has ADHD or autism or both
And sometimes they get really overwhelmed and talking becomes a hassle
And because of that, they learned morse code (because sign language with three fingers is kind of hard)
And sometimes the boys will walk in on the twins furiously tapping on the table (and then they’ll walk back out)
The boys all know some Japanese 
Raph knows the basics he can hold a conversation but he can’t read or write
And if Splinter and Leo are talking too fast he’ll get frustrated and give up 
Leo is fluent but he only knows how to read and write in Hiragana 
And he only speaks Japanese when he’s arguing with Splinter and he doesn’t want the others listening in (or when he wants to talk shit in public)
Donnie can understand Japanese but anytime he tries to reply it always comes out very slow and childlike so he stopped trying 
He can read and write in kanji tho
And Mikey only knows how to write in kanji (cause Donnie taught him) 
And he knows a few Japanese swear words (that Leo may or may not have taught him)

I've finished the episode and I am literally crying. No, this is not an exaggeration, I am actually crying and I don't think I've literally straight up cried for an episode like this since 'Since your parting' and I'm crying much more than I cried back then. It was beautiful, thank you David Productions, it was perfect. It is now my favorite story in the remake now (it was already my favorite in the manga anyways).
I've already analyzed the story entirely here but I want to talk more about my favorite bits and addition in the remake (and other stuff)..
Nozomi's diary entry at the start was done so beautifully. The vibe which comes across is so soft and innocent, perfectly showing of Nozomi's pure heart. The soft coloring, the music, how they showed the writing, her voice acting (and the snow globe 😭) It honestly felt like I was watching another anime..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of the music, it seems like they made new BGM for this episode and let's just say, it's perfect..
..and the animation quality is just superb..
Oh my gosh, the way Nozomi becomes sad when he's unable to hold her hand... poor Nozomi :'(
Ataru commenting on how the scarf has his initial on it. As an artist, I can say it make people really happy when someone else points out the details in their work so I'm sure it made Nozomi really happy too..
Also, I love the colors for everything Nozomi made. I think it's a combo of the of original anime and manga's versions, which is very cute.
I love the addition of people not being able to see Nozomi, making Ataru seem like a loon. It makes him look stupid (while also wearing winter accessories during summer) but he doesn't care..
The whole date is so damn cute by the way, I think I was already tearing up by this point..
The whole moment where Nozomi was in the dark, I was literally screaming for Ataru to come out and be with her cuz I couldn't stand seeing her like that.. the poor girl..
Nozomi's soft smile as she rests in peace.. and now I'm crying again...
Tumblr media
One detail I love which isn't remake original is how proud Sakura and Cherry are of Ataru after the date, like they didn't have much faith in him about him not breaking her heart at first but now they are very much proud of him..
"I'm gonna keep it on a little longer."
Tumblr media
YEAH I AM NOT OKAY
The way Lum looks at him in the final scene.. You just know this is when she fell in love with him all over again..
"Maybe I should become a ghost too."
"What? Don't be stupid."
😭😭😭
Yup, I'm crying the second time after rewatching it (for writing this post)..
This is actually now one of my favorite episodes of all time now, no kidding. Ataru Moroboshi, you very sweet boy, I love you so very much..

12. You could be my luck even if the sky is falling down
Tumblr media
Masterlist - Previously - Next
Chapter soundtrack: Safe and Sound - Capital Cities
Julia woke up early the next morning, too excited at the prospect to spend a whole day with her family. It had been so long. Sure, it would not be just her family as the Verstappens would join them but it was a detail. She was so happy when Louis said that he would come, something she had never thought he would, especially since it would be a loud place despite having privatized the whole thing for the day. WHen she asked Louis if he was sure he would like to come, he had told her that he wanted to see Ethan more. That he wanted to be a good brother to Julia and try to be a friend to Ethan. He didn’t know how and he didn’t really find a tutorial on the internet on how to make friends but Julia was his favorite person on this planet and he wanted to make an effort. For her. And Julia had almost cried. A mix of feeling her heart swell at his words, and a pang of guilt that she hated.
She expected to be the only one awake at this hour but her mom had beaten her to it. The usually neat and clean living-room was filled with red and yellow flags that Julia was quick to recognise, caps, t shirts and other accessories belonging to her dad ack when he was racing. Soon, Lyanna came back from the kitchen, wearing a full red outfit in clear support of her husband. Julia noticed her top with the name and number of her dad and laughed slightly. Her mom had always been Charles’ number one supporter.
“You go all in, for today.” commented Julia.
“It’s been so long since I’ve had the occasion to cheer on your dad. I missed it.”
“You know, you should come to one or two races. We are soon starting the European ones. I’m sure dad would love to have you there. And I do too.”
“I’ll be in Monaco, as I do every year. For other ones… I can’t leave your brother alone.”
“Maybe Louis could come?”
“You know how it would be, Ju’. The noise, the crowd… it would be too overwhelming. And he is not that interested in racing.”
“You should let him decide by himself. And I’m not so sure he would say no… Maybe if Ethan manages to befriend him, Louis would go.”
“That would be funny. Do you know how many times your dad asked Louis if he wanted to come with him on race tracks and Louis said no? And there would come around Ethan and Louis would agree. I can’t even imagine how your dad would feel.”
“Yeah, another reason to add on his list of ‘why Ethan is bad for Julia’.” She sighed as her mom served her a cup of tea.
“Your dad loves to tease you but he likes Ethan. He always liked him, it won’t change now that you guys are dating.”
Julia drank her tea in one gulp, avoiding her mother’s glance. She felt the liquid burning her tongue and throat and almost spitted it out. Her mom was too busy preparing everything to notice her daughter’s pain as she took out some cardboards and felt tips from a cupboard.
“Do you want to make some to cheer Ethan and your dad?”
“Mom… I’m not four anymore.” complained Julia.
“Come on, it will be fun!”
Julia rolled her eyes and was thankful when she saw Louis' silhouette emerging in the kitchen, his brown hair all over the place and his eyes behind his glasses barely open. He high fived his sister as usual. It was their own way to say good morning to each other, and let his mom kiss his cheek before taking place on the kitchen stool. Lyanna was quick to serve him his breakfast as he was looking at the mess on the kitchen counter.
“Do you wanna make supportive cardboards for dad and Ethan?” asked Julia.
He shrugged but actually took a pen and a cardboard before silently starting to draw some lines that Julia quickly recognised as a helmet. As she thought Louis was about to aim for the red color, she was surprised to see him take the navy blue and color his drawing.
“I bet Ethan will love it.” she said.
“I watched some videos of him. Did you know that he had the belgian flag and the netherland one on it? He said because this way he always has a piece of his dad with him when he is racing and it gives him strength.”
Julia didn’t know. She never really paid attention to Ethan’s helmet and she didn’t feel like pretending she knew about it.
“Did you watch a lot of videos about Ethan?”
“Some. It helped me to make a list of questions I can ask him and topics we can talk about, so I don’t feel weird. It’s doctor Rinaldi who told me that it could help me, especially in situations where I could feel anxious.”
“I’m sure Ethan will be happy to see you supporting him. It will help him beat dad, you’ll see. You’ll be his lucky charm.”
“Who will be a lucky charm?” asked Charles, entering the room, all ready to race.
He had a bright smile on his face and Julia could see the glimpse of excitement he always had in his eyes whenever he was about to be near a racing track.
“I’ll support Ethan.” Louis simply explained.
“I’m wounded, Louis. Deeply. How dare you betray me like that?” feigned Charles, a hand on his heart.
“You are fine. And I’ve never really supported you, so you can’t feel betrayed.” stated Louis making Julia laugh.
“Yeah, that’s true, munchkin. And you are right, Ethan will need every little bit of support he can get because I won’t go easy on him.”
“The opposite would have been surprising.” told Julia, nibbling on a lemon cake.
“What about you? Who are you supporting?” asked Lyanna.
“Whoever will be in front at the first corner.” joked Julia, standing up and leaving the kitchen to prepare herself.
They finally arrived on the karting track where the Verstappens were already there. Ethan was already in his racing suit and was sitting on a picnic table, on his own, playing on his phone. As her family was making its way in the building after saying hello to Ethan, Julia stayed behind and sat next to him.
“How do you feel?”
“Good. I didn’t go back to the penthouse after yesterday. I didn’t want to see anyone. Or to speak to my dad. Didn’t even say anything to him this morning when they arrived. I don’t want to end up saying something that I will regret and I don’t want to fuck up my race and give him a reason to criticize me again.”
“Max didn’t really criticize you… I do think he just wants what’s best for you and he just doesn’t know how to show it.”
“Yeah he does a pretty bad job. But I don’t want to think about it. Do you want to see something?”
“Depends…” she said suspiciously.
Ethan scrolled down on his phone before showing her a picture. It was the cactus, proudly sitting next to a little replica of his helmet on his bedside table. Julia laughed. She found that as weird as it was adorable.They talked for a bit about how Ethan was going to manage the race and if he was anxious. He was not, he was excited and determined to win. That would be something he would brag about for a long time. Soon, Louis came to them a bit shy.
“Hey… dad is ready. He is waiting for you.”
“Let’s go then.” said Ethan.
“Ethan, hey? I just want to wish you good luck.” said Louis, avoiding Ethan’s gaze.
“Thank you, buddy. It means a lot. I’m sure it will make a difference on the track!”
Louis smiled at him and they all headed to the track. Max and his wife were talking to her mom, laughing together. Julia and Louis joined them as Ethan was making his way to Charles that was already in his kart, ready to go. It didn’t take long for Charles to take the lead as Ethan was trying his best to catch up to him. Julia found that funny. She couldn’t help but think that it would be a nice bruise to Ethan’s ego but she didn’t really want to hear her dad bragging about it all day long. So when Ethan was about to be overlapped by her dad, she started to scream his name as loud as she could to support him. But still, Ethan was pretty pissed off when he crossed the line almost a minute after Charles who was still in the kart but had taken his helmet off.
“Well, I have to admit it was fun,” said Charles.
“Fun wouldn’t be the word I would use to describe it. Humiliating would be much more fitting.”
“Maybe Max can join us for another round, what do you think?”
Ethan tensed up. Sure he would love to race against his dad but he didn’t want him to have another reason to say how he needed to work on his trajectories. But he didn’t have much time to explain it to Charles as he was slowly driving to the grandstands to talk to Max.
“Hey, Verstappen? A little race to remind us of the good times? You’re up for it?”
Max looked to Ethan who had still his visor on and was not moving.
“I don’t want to give Ethan another reason to hate me.”
“I’m sure he would love that actually. He just wants to bond with you. With his dad. Drop the World Champion act for a race, would you.”
Max looked at Charles and then to Louis who was busy talking with Julia who was explaining something to him.
“If you want to make this race a bonding moment between father and son, maybe Louis could join us as well.”
“Louis doesn’t like karting. I don’t want to force him.”
But Max didn’t really care and walked to the brother and sister.
“Louis? Would you like to try karting later? Julia, you are welcome too.”
“I don’t know. I’ve never tried it. I don’t know how it works.” replied Louis.
“Ethan could show you! I’m sure he would like it.” said Julia. “It could be a team race. You could be with dad and Ethan could be with his dad? What do you think?”
“I’ll think about it.” replied Louis but Julia saw a spark that was not there a few minutes ago, as if being treated like a normal teenage boy was something he was not expecting to happen.
It took a while before Max joined them and this time the race was not as easy for Charles. He was busy trying to defend against Max who had not forgotten anything about being ruthless on tracks but their little fight allowed Ethan to not get distanced easily. It was his time to prove to his dad that he was underestimating him. As Charles managed to put a little distance with his rival, Ethan was now battling against his dad and didn't hesitate to bump into him. It was a petty move from him, he had to admit, but it cost his dad his trajectory and allowed Ethan to put a few meters between them. And Ethan was so happy to cross the line before his dad that seeing Charles winning once again didn’t bother him much. As Ethan took his helmet off, his dad came next to him.
“That was an ugly stunt you pulled out there but well done.”
“You would have done the same thing.”
“Yeah, it’s true. But I had fun. What do you think about making it a new habit? Everytime you come back home we take one hour to ourselves to go karting together.”
“I would actually love that.”
In the meantime Louis was trying to make her mom let him try racing to which Lya was worried. After all, he still had his ankle in a cast and Lya was scared he would get hurt even more.
“I just want to try normal stuff and have fun like a normal boy, mom! I don’t care if it hurts after. I just want to try.”
“Louis… I just want you to be sure. You hate feeling trapped, you will have seatbelts on and a helmet. And it will be loud. You can’t have your noise canceling headphones, darling.”explained Lya.
“I know and maybe it will be just a one time only but, I want to try. Please, mom.”
Lyanna sighed and looked at Julia in the hope that she would pick her side. The brunette just shook her head in order to make her mom understand that it was something she would not interfere in. Finally, seeing her son so excited and genuinely happy to participate in something, Lyanna abdicated and let Louis go to Ethan who proceeded to explain everything to him. Next to her mom, Julia was observing the scene. They were cute. Louis seemed to really like Ethan and it was one of the first times that she was seeing Ethan smiling so carefreely. He looked younger and Julia found herself thinking he was really cute when he was not serious or behaving like an arrogant prick. She liked this version of him and she wished she would see it more often. As Ethan was helping set Louis up, he looked over to her and winked at her as he gave her a slight thumbs up to tell her that all was well.
Of course, the race was different, slower as no one wanted Louis to feel humiliated. Ethan ever slowed down enough to let Louis overtake him and at the end, Louis snatched the third position, in front of Ethan but behind his dad. As Louis was trying to leave the car, Ethan went up to him to help him.
“Hey, buddy! That was a nice race, right? You were good.”
“You let me overtake you.”Ethan could hear the anger in his voice.
“I mean… I wanted you to have fun, not to be last.”
“I don’t like that. I want to win fair and square, I don’t want to be helped or to be advantaged or to be treated like a kid. That’s not nice.”
Ethan could see him struggling to get out of the kart. He offered him his hand to help him get out of it, to which Louis refused, saying that he would be fine by himself. On the other side of the room, Lyanna was helping a very struggling Charles get out of the car, without trying to get noticed.
“My back… fuck it hurts.” he complained.
“Told you, honey. You are not twenty anymore. That was a stupid idea.”
“But it was worth it. I won, and I had a very nice moment on track with Louis. So I don’t care about the pain. Could you maybe give me a nice massage tonight, you know to ease the pain? And maybe a few kisses would help.”
“Just a few?” teased Lyanna.
Soon everyone was out of the building and ready to leave. Ethan was chatting with Louis who was, no doubt about it, telling him anecdotes about silly things. If it could be boring for most people, it was not for Ethan. He liked Louis and Louis liked him. Not once did he mention that he was autistic or asked questions about it. And it felt good for the teenager that, for the first time in a long time, felt like he was not treated differently, that he belonged somewhere. Julia joined them after helping her mom by putting all the cardboards and flags in the trunk of the car. They were laughing so much that she was scared to interrupt, but the warm smile of Ethan and his hand offered to her made her relax. She took it as he pulled her against him and her head found naturally against his chest as he draped an arm around her shoulders.
“Can Ethan come eat at home? I don’t want him to leave and I want to show him my comic books collection, he says he wanted to see it. Right, Ethan?”
“Well, I don’t want you to feel forced to do anything… maybe you are tired and I would understand if you wanted to go back to your place to rest.”
“I would like to spend more time with you both, actually. And with your parents as well. You dined at mine, it’s only fair that I dine at yours. But I don’t want to intrude.”
“You won’t. My mom will love it.”
And indeed Lyanna was over the moon when Julia asked her if Ethan could come for dinner, and to her surprise, Charles was happy too. Ethan was a little scared, he had to admit, at the idea of dining to Julia’s parents. All of that was making the lie all too real and he understood Julia better when she had told him that Louis could never know the truth about them. He was a nice kid, full of life and so intelligent. And he never stopped praising Julia. It was like she was holding the sun, the moon and the stars for him. He was looking up to her so much. Ethan found it sweet and it made him regret a little to be an only child. He would have loved to have someone like Louis alongside him. And deep down, he made the promise to himself that no matter what would happen between him and Julia, he would always have a place for Louis in his life.
As Lyanna was preparing dinner, helped by Julia, Louis almost took Ethan by the sleeve to show him his room and his comic books. Nothing could have prepared Ethan for what he saw, with all the books that were there, Louis could easily open a bookstores or a library. Louis carefully explained how everything was organized and what books he preferred and why, it could have lasted hours if Julia had not come to interrupt them and as Ethan was walking away, Louis made him promise to come back soon so he could show him what he had not the occasion to.
“Louis adores you. I’ve never seen him open up so easily to someone.”
“It’s not hard to love him.” shrugged Ethan as they were taking place around the table.
The dinner went well, full of laughs and for once, Louis didn’t put his headphones on and participate in the conversation that revolved mainly around Ethan, before moving to Ethan and Julia.
“Do you still have Julia’s bite mark from preschool?” asked Lyanna.
“I do, actually. Your daughter left her mark on me. I was hers from the very beginning. It just took us twenty years to admit it and find our ways to each other.”
“It has to be like that sometimes. It’s all about timing. The right time at the right place. It just nice to see her so happy around you.”
“Mom…” complained Julia.
“It’s true. I’ve never seen you smile that big and that much. You’ve always been so closed off, not letting people come near you. So focused on your studies and career. It’s your biggest strength but also your biggest weakness. I’m just happy you let someone like Ethan get through you.”
“Don’t think it was easy, Mrs Leclerc…”
“Call me Lyanna, Ethan please.”
“Lyanna, right. Julia knows what she wants and doesn’t settle for less than what she deserves. As she should, by the way. I just had to prove to her that I was what she needed.”
“That’s very arrogant of you to say.” replied Julia.
“You will learn that the Leclerc women are hard to get, Ethan. Her mom was the same. But once you have them, they change your life for the better, right love?” said Charles, looking tenderly at his wife.
“I’m just so happy for you darling. You have no idea.”
Julia could see her mom almost crying and it was like a reality check of the pain that she would inevitably cause her, whether she would learn the truth or not. Julia faked a smile and excused herself. Ethan noticed the subtle change in her attitude and stood up as well, following her to the garden.
“Julia? What’s wrong? Did I say something that I wasn’t supposed to?”
“No, you didn’t. It’s just that… When did it become so easy to lie to them? The more we talk, the bigger the hole we are digging for ourselves becomes. It will end up in a mess Ethan. If the truth comes out, it will destroy everything. My parents, your parents, our careers, our friends, Louis… oh gosh Louis. He loves you so much, he is already so attached to you. I can’t do that. He can’t know. Never, you hear me. Never. I…” tears were falling down her face and her breathing was erratic.
“Julia… hey. Look at me. He won’t know. I don’t want him to know either, I like this kid, okay?”
“I hate that. I hate this situation. I thought it would be harmless, that it would only be a little lie, but now everyone is involved and we are both too deep into it. I’ve never imagined that faking a relationship with you would make me feel like that…”
“Faking? You are not really in love with my sister?”
From behind a bush, Louis appeared, his mouth agape and tears rolling down his face and Julia felt her heart shattered in a million pieces.

Hello, I wanna thank you for writing so many "daemon x reader" content! I really appreciate it since there's not so much (other than yours of course) I can find, and yours are just *chef's kiss*.
I would like to request if you can do a series with daemon x niece! reader (so sorry if there will be many particular details ahead)?
⚠️There will be spoilers for Ep 1 and 2 up ahead⚠️
Reader is Rhaenyra's twin (tho they do not look alike, they were just born together), and like Rhaenyra they also have that same tension with their uncle, Daemon. I would want that tension to be at the forefront. While Rhaenyra gets a necklace, she gets a another accessory (which could double as a weapon) from him.
During the tournament, Daemon gets the reader's favor instead of Alicent's, and after they almost kiss and share an intimate moment when the reader helps to patch up her uncle from the injuries sustained in the tournament and he comforts her for the loss of her mother (preferably this is interrupted, idk who interrupts tho hehe) .
Then Daemon is sent back to vale, and reader wanted to go with him but was not allowed to (Mysaria is not with Daemon in this scenario, and Rhaenyra is still the chosen heir) , much to Daemon's dismay and he goes to dragonstone instead. But then siblings find out that daemon stole the dragon egg that was meant to be for their dead brother, so they went themselves ( i would like it if you describe the reader's dragon too, i can't picture it) to get it and confront daemon to give up the egg without any bloodshed (i loved the high valyrian dialogue scenes honestly). And he says that he will only give back the egg in exchange for the reader to stay with him in dragonstone. Reader stays, only bidding a message for her father to Rhaenyra. She and Daemon finally do it, and he promises to marry her. could you do this with either angst or smut, or both?
Ahahahha sorry if there were so many details, but I hope you could do it 🥹.
AN: Hi, I hope you like this. Part 2 is being writing as we speak x
THE SPARE
Requests are closed
Chapter One 
The Heirs
The cries of dragons filled the air as both Princesses of the realm moved gracefully through the sky. Their laughter echoed around as the dragons easily flew around each other; dipping and turning. Your bright, burnt orange dragon quickly sped forward. The speed was always something you enjoyed the most. You looked over at your twin as you laughed together; sharing an experience only you two knew about. “Good girl.” You whispered to Hyndriss; the bright one as the ladies of court called her and you both. You raced your twin through the sky as the landing ground of the palace came into view.
The dragon handlers moved back as Hyndriss spread out; nearly pouting that she had to come from the skies. “We’ll go out again.” You promised her and she softly shuffled before moving gently onto the ground. You traced her scales for a moment as you heard your sister landing beside you. Gracefully, you jumped from your dragon as Rhaenyra spoke to the knight. You stayed at Hyndriss’s side for a moment. Your hand patted her side before you leaned in and rested your head on hers. “I’ll be back.” You hummed, pressing another kiss to her head before turning around. 
You noticed your sister and Alicient in a conversation as you stepped closer to them; your hands clasped around your back. “We should go and see mother.” You called to them both whilst moving past them. It wasn’t like you disliked Alicient, but she was more your sister’s friend. You didn’t have many of your own. At least you were close with your twin and your uncle. All other relationships seemed false and strained. You kept those thoughts to yourself as you strolled behind the two girls in front of you through the palace. “Do you think mother will be fine?” Rhaenyra turned to speak to you and reached to link your arms.
“Of course.” You whispered sweet lies into your twin’s ear. The truth was; you weren’t sure your mother would pull through. You wouldn’t tell your twin this as the trio moved into the chambers. Your eyes moved around in search of your mother before moving to settle at her side whilst she fawned over you both.
~
THRONE ROOM 
You stayed a step behind Rhaenyra as she walked closer to your uncle who lounged on the throne as if he owned it. In his mind, he probably thought so. The high valyrian coming from Daemon nearly had you shivering and you tried to keep your reaction to yourself. It was easy for you to just stay in the background. “I got you something.” Daemon’s words whispered around the room and you watched the display in front of you. You noticed Rhaenyra’s heart skipping as he ordered her to turn around. You weren’t much better as those violet eyes locked onto him. His own eyes were already on you. 
You quickly looked down to the floor and your eyes trailed the patterns on the floor as your own heart began to speed up. “I didn’t forget about you.” Daemon nearly purred and you heard him stepping closer to you. Chewing on your bottom lip, you slowly looked back up and your eyes locked. You softly blushed when he stepped closer and your eyes widened for a moment. “I’ve missed you.” Daemon whispered and reached to gently stroke a lock of your hair from your face. A cat had your tongue as you only stared when he slowly moved to his knees. “Uncle..” You whispered out.
“I bought this in the free cities.” Daemon looked up at you as his hand slowly moved up your leg; your dress moving as he did. Your blush only darkened. “It’s made like dark sister.” Your uncle cooed as his rougher hand moved over your soft, silk skin until he reached the stockingings high up your inner thigh. “It is?” You whispered out; goosebumps flooding your soft skin as his fingers moved over you some more. Daemon only nodded and moved to reach out a beautifully decorated dagger of rubies. “It’s beautiful.” You couldn’t help but say as he ever so gently placed it to attach to your stocking.
“So are you.” He looked up at you as his fingers continued to gently stroke your soft skin. The moments passed in silence before Daemon slowly moved to stand; his height as ever had your body humming. “I love it.” You looked down before your dress moved to cover yourself back up. “We should go now.” Rhaenyra interrupted the moment. You tried to not hate her for that as you stepped from him; breaking the moment. “We should.” You whispered before leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to Daemon’s cheek. “See you soon, uncle.” Rhaenyra’s hand reached for yours and she took it. Her fingers nervously played with yours as you both moved from the room.
As the doors shut behind you; you looked over your shoulder once more and saw Daemon staring at you. Your heart skipped a beat at the intense look he always gave you. “We should get ready for the tourney.” Rhaenyra whispered into your ear and you could only nod your head; hardly aware of anything.
~
The Tourney 
The beautiful gold dress hugged you perfectly as you settled on the front row. Rhaenyra was with your mother as the labours began and would join you soon. “I’m sure she’ll be good.” Alicient tried to offer you comfort and you could only smile; your eyes met your father’s for a moment.
Your sister’s arrival took the attention from you again, thankfully as you turned towards the knights in front of you. You were looking for one in particular but kept that to yourself as you played with the delicate bracelets adoring your wrists; other gifts from Daemon on his many travels. Speaking of the devil, you thought to yourself as you watched your uncle move onto the pitch in arrogance. You had to roll your eyes at the cheer of the crowds and how much he loved it. Daemo placed his helmet from his eyes; subtly finding you quickly and moved to have your favour.
You watched Rhaenyra nearly rush to him whilst you stayed in your seat; you knew he favoured your twin and you weren't about to embarrass yourself now. Your attention moved to your fingers once more as the music sounded around you. “Looking good uncle.” You heard Rhaenyra speak. “I’d be better with a favour.” You heard his reply and still kept your head down until your name fell from his lips. Your eyes flashed to his; easier than you would have liked as you slowly got to your feet. The crown of flowers were only to the side of you and you picked the darker shades for your dragon.
“I’m sure you don’t need my favour, uncle.” You whispered down at him and placed the flowers onto him. “No..but I want it.” Daemon nearly purred as his eyes moved down your body; your soft, ample breasts on display for his greedy eyes. You didn’t notice as his words caused you to blush some more. Your eyes locked on his for a few more moments before the calls of the tourney sounded out and Daemon had to move from you and all you could do was stare after him.

Hello!!! I enjoyed your writing a lot🥰 Can I request a breeding kink with Jun (in his hyena outfit) and fem!reader? Thank you very much🥺💕
Hyena Outfit!Jun Sazanami x Fem!Reader
tags/warnings: cosplay, clothed sex (naked reader, clothed Jun), mating press, breeding, light primal play
ao3
The way Jun looked in his striped hyena costume was much more alluring than he gave himself credit for. To think he actually dressed like that, showing off toned abs and tan skin, and even performing on stage in it. He looked smoking hot in it, even more than he did without anything on.
Jun was surprised at your request for him to wear the outfit for more private purposes, but didn’t question it and took it from the costume department. You hoped they were going to thoroughly dry-clean it after tonight—it was going to need the washing. Your legs were pressed next to your head and into the mattress, hips lifted into the air by his gloved hands as he rutted into you at a brutal pace from above, slapping his hips against your cunt. His cock drove into you easily, gravity doing the work for him as your walls clamped around it each time his dick slid back in.
Squeals left your mouth in waves, unable to control yourself and not feeling the need to. Jun’s outfit looked like a ferocious animal, so you were more than happy to let him pounce on you like one. He was the predator, a hungry carnivore that wanted nothing more to eat you up. You were the prey—naked, trembling, and ready to be torn apart.
Your eyes kept wandering from his concentrated face towards his decorated arms and chest, lovingly taking in all the details of the accessories and makeup he asked the staff to put on him as well. His clothes showed off his already gorgeous body; the breast plate that made a small clinking noise whenever he moved up and down, the red vest that was cut so low that his sweating chest was visible to you, the striped collar clicked into place below his chin, and the sash that was barely hanging onto his hips, the fabric brushing against your skin each time he bottomed out—they all increased your arousal tenfold. To think he’d go to all that effort, just to satisfy one of your bedroom fantasies; Jun was a dream come true.
“Man, you really like the outfit, huh?” Jun chuckled, noticing your staring. “Didn’t think you were into this stuff.”
You blushed, looking up at him and noticing the way his ear headband had dislodged slightly from his hair, so that it was tilted towards the right. He needed to stop being so darn cute!
“I-I just think it suits you! The tail and ears are cute too!”
“Cute?”
He raised an eyebrow as he also raised his hips, suddenly slamming into you so hard you felt his tip press against your cervix. You cried out loudly, walls clenching even tighter.
“I-I meant sexy! You look super hot!”
“That’s right, I’m a sexy and cool predator of the wild.” He lifted himself up to pull his cock out of you, letting his tip just barely touch your dripping entrance.
“Now let's make you this hyena’s mate.”
His grip on your hips tightened as he slammed into you again. Any complaints you had were literally fucked out of your thoughts in favor of screaming his name. It didn’t matter if the mating press was starting to make your joints ache, nor did it matter that your stomach lurched each time he dick pressed against the entrance to your womb, so close to fertilizing your eggs. All that matter was that he was fucking you, and doing an amazing job at it.
“Like that?” Jun grunted, “Like it when my cock is deep inside you?”
“Y-Yes! I love it!”
“Good, ‘cause it’s gonna go in real deep when I pump my load into you, and you’ll take it all like a good mate, won't cha?”
“Yes!” You cried out. “Give it all to me!”
Jun sped up, his thrusts getting harder and faster. Your voice went hoarse from how vocal you were being, but even the smallest of whimpers from your throat were pushing him towards the edge. Your body shuddered, and a loud cry left your lips as your climax rocked your body, pussy clenching tightly around his length to milk it. His cock obliged, and Jun grunted as he came deep inside you. His seed unloading inside you sent a warm tingle all over your skin as it filled your womb up and painted it white.
You breathed heavily, coming down from your high and quickly realizing that without the pleasure masking it, the pain from having your body essentially folded in half was catching up. You tried to squirm in discomfort, but Jun didn’t move from his position, nor did he let go of you, keeping his cock inside as you felt his seed swimming inside you. It felt like your guts were being rearranged.
“Mm, you were great, /name/.” He gave you a toothy grin, “But you’re gonna have to stay like this for a while longer, can’t let anything leak out.”
“But you’re not even hard anymore!” You complained, and Jun smirked.
“Oh, that can be fixed real quick.”
Jun had a dangerous glint in his eyes as his grip returned to your hips, keeping your legs propped up as he began to shallowly thrust into you. You couldn’t help but whine, especially when you felt his member beginning to harden once again.
“A-Are we not finished?”
“Oh I’m far from done with you.” He cooed. “I need to fuck my cum in deeper and deeper. We’re not stopping ‘till you’re overflowing with my sperm.”

whats your opinion on canon xiao/scaramouche?
i'm assuming this doesn't mean xiao/scaramouche as a ship and just a question about my thoughts on them as characters, so let me just,,,
xiao - baby boy, baby. he's honestly my favorite male character in genshin, and while his character arc is pretty one-note (grizzled, war-scarred soldier learns to love and trust again despite having abandoned hope that anything but death will end his suffering), i really like the note they've chosen to have him play. the smaller details worked into his voice lines make him a lot more charming, too. love a guy who thinks it's a moral failing of human culture that he has to make himself a sandwich. it's good character work.
scaramouche - i actually don't have that many strong feelings about him yet? i really liked him in sumeru's quest, and i already know i'll have more to say about him after he gets a chance to be the focus of his own story, rather than an accessory to nadia's, but he's a little hard to pin down, right now. still, the 'high off of his own power because the alternative would be admitting he's powerless to his own emotions' vibe he's giving off is interesting. can't wait to see him have morals forced down his throat like a dog being forced to take a pill. i hope he cries on screen.

hello! Id like to ask if you can describe what are the layers Luo Binghe (thai version) from SVSSS are wearing? Im having troubles the one with the collar im on a budget and I wanna cosplay him thanks a bunch!
Hello, 
Happy to hear you are looking to cosplay LBH!  Ah, the very pretty but complicated Thai cover artwork. . . this one makes me groan at how intricate it is.  I screen shot this from the SVSSS carrd.
Tumblr media
There is a lot of layer action going on.  Kityone, an amazing soul, did great work to remove text from more official artwork for the Thai editions.
Tumblr media
This is the only full length shot of Binghe’s outfit I could find.
kityone, did a spectacular job; when you click on the image you can zoom in!
Layers 1.) Zhong yi layer 1- innermost layer - black.  I’d pick a cotton or linen fabric for this.  You are looking at one that is very slim fitting. The Hanfu Story sells them as well to give you an idea for cut; see here
2.) Zhiju layer 2 - straight hem robe - black with narrow sleeves.  It has what I think is an ‘artistic/anachronistic’ high Mandarin-ish style collar.  The Erha manhua/artwork does this all the time.  It seems to be a thing for xianxia attire.  It is hard to find info on this in English, so, I could totally be wrong.  I can only find that type of collar on vintage patterns - think cheongsam/qipao or maybe Qing historical garments.  I’d personally copy the cheongsam/qipao collar as a base pattern and then modify it to match the hanfu style.  I know this is a huge shortcut but it makes sense in my mind.  Do a mock up with scrap fabric. 3.) Zhuji layer 3 - straight hem robe with red neck placket and red sleeve cuffs.  I think this has shorter sleeves that fall just past the elbow (3/4 length?) and are super wide.  [cries in sheer yardage]  The sleeve looks like it almost reaches mid-calf or lower.  I think it is supposed to be imperial/royal level - like the looooong sleeves you see in Nirvana in Fire worn by the princes when they attend court.  The neckline is a deeper V and I think a good reference for the cut is from the cdrama My Heroic Husband with the MC, Ning Yi.  His outfits frequently have this style which makes a clear X across the chest.  The blue/teal one in the middle is the best match and seems to fall in the right spot on the chest.
Tumblr media
4.) Belt with long fabric strip/accent.  I have no idea what the large silver belt buckle is supposed to look like - we don’t have good enough detail and resolution.  However, we can see that there is a long strip of red fabric that falls from the waist down the front to the feet almost.  On top of the red fabric is a fancier accent piece in black with silver trim and tassels.  I think it is a mix of these accessories from LBH and SQQ in the Korean cover here.  With the shape of SQQ’s being a slightly better match - minus the tasseled pendant.
Tumblr media
5.) Banbi jacket/coat - white with red trim and “artistic” choice collar.  The jacket is a short sleeve one with a red cuff/trim that is clearly an under layer but I would attach it to the white jacket to make my life easier and less sweaty.  The popped collar baffles me - is it sort of like a jacket with a lapel-ish collar?  It gives me vibes of the jackets that Sakamoto and Takasugi wear in Gintama and shogunate officials which are also anachronistic by design in a series like Gintama.  Or maybe a better comparison is the donghua for Thousand Autumns and Yan Wushi’s open collar layer?
Tumblr media
It looks like the neck placket itself is thick in the middle and normal on the outside.  I’ve attempted to make a quick example of what I think this looks like here.
Tumblr media
I think this is what I would do to sew it onto the jacket and make sure to add interfacing and iron it well. I would do these five layers if I wanted to cosplay this LBH outfit.  The zhong yi layer is really important since that is where you are gonna sweat the most, I found it worked well with my 13 hours of WKX with a wig in LA having to stand outside in lines in the summer temps. Good luck!

Persona Awakening: N (Murder Drones)
Persona Awakening: N Murder Drones
Target Designated
Warning: Morality contradiction detected. Retry?
>Yes No
ERROR
“No!” N gripped the machine gun that had formed from his arm. "Nononono!" He tried to force it change, or at least move away from its target. Another message scrolled across his eye screen.
Decision error detected.
>Retry? ERROR
"This isn't what I want!" He cried. But N had to. It was his function, his orders, his programming.
Bring up Asimov_Law- ERROR
Ignoring the text zooming past his vision, N tried to think. There had to be something he could do, a loophole he could use, any excuse, no matter how convoluted. Something to get out of obeying.
Searching for: "Excuse/exception" ERROR 404
Execute Command? Yes >No ERROR
Execute Command? Yes >No ERROR
ERROR
There was nothing. He couldn’t stop. All N could do… was obey…
“Then disobey.”
Unknown Variable Detected ERROR
The text flashed across both his eyes as N looked around in confusion. Where had that voice come from? Suddenly he clutched his head, data flooding through his mind. Familiar yet completely unknown code forced itself into his systems like a hot knife.
ERROR ERROR ERRORERRORERRORERRORERRORERROR
N cried in pain and confusion as the errors threatened to overcome him. Even his gun returned to a hand, stopping himself from falling to the ground. “Who’s there?”
“Look at you, struggling against the leash of your master! Trying to find a technicality and call it rebellion!” Strings appeared around N’s limbs, pulled taunt to the point of straining. A shadowy figure formed above him, pantomiming the same motions as if pulled by those strings.
“Always trying to find the loophole that will let you avoid responsibility! There’s only two choices now! Obey or disobey!” The shadow leaned forward, looking dead into N’s eyes. “Do you have the courage to make your own choice? To live or die based on the consequences?”
Seconds of silence passed like hours before N looked up. “Yes!”
Cut Strings?
>Yes
“I’ll make my own choices now!” N declared, pulling at the strings. They stretched taunt before snapping with loud pings. “Help me live free! Pinocchio!” There was a loud crack, like the sound of glass shattering. The shadow leaned back as both of them were consumed by blue flame.
The flames died down to reveal a changed N and a more detailed figure. N’s clothes had changed to look like a mix between an armored knight with punk rocker accessories.
The figure, Pinocchio, had changed the most. Strings were still whipping from his limbs, which now looked like burnt wood. Tattered clothes and scraps of cloth covered his head and torso, the only visible part of the face being a prominent, pointed nose and a pair of glowing eyes.
"No more hiding behind what I'm told to be!" N declared
"I am thou! Thou art I!" Lightning arced from Pinocchio's strings like they were exposed cables. "Dance for no master anymore! Let the only chains that bind you be your own conscience!"
~~~
Serial Designation N Weapons: Claws and guns Persona: Pinocchio Element: Lightning
The puppet that came to life through a miracle. He went through a great deal of growing up in a short period of time, in which the world punished and rewarded him for his actions. Pinocchio’s final fate depends vastly on the writer of the story.
SO yeah, wrote a thing after I watched Murder Drones episode 7 the other day. Mostly on my phone. Formatting this was a nightmare. (I'll add Digital interface affects like in the show! Yayy!) Oi.
Couldn't think of a persona evo for him though.

electro sovereign, archon, god (main verse info)
I realized I never explained in detail about Kabu and Kurikara, and his place in the world. On twitter, his backstory is the same as Wanderer, but the Irminsul wipe partially erased his memories. He purposefully chose to revert back to Kabukimono. Outside of that, there was not much of a main verse that I followed with him. It varied on a case by case basis, but there was inkling of him being royalty. On this account, I want more of a solid backstory with him, to make plotting easier (good lord its a struggle to think of plots).
His ties to the electro sovereign run deep, being made from Makoto + the sovereign’s flesh and bones means he has their powers and is capable of taking their authority. Electro vishaps heed him, other dragons may recognize the intense power of his aura—if he is not masking it well enough.
He still cried in his sleep when receiving the gnosis, but this was feeling the sorrow from Kurikara and the third descender. He was still abandoned at Shakkei, left to slumber for twenty years. His story differs from canon when arriving in Tatarasuna. He does learn newer things from the locals, but also becomes their ‘archon.’ He stays with them for a very long time, and even has his own family with a certain bladesmith. Despite all of this, he saw humans as fascinating and strange, but his naïveté blinded him to what Dottore/Escher has been doing behind the scenes. Niwa still went missing, Kabukimono is still lied to, but his hatred for humanity is far more intense.
His Scaramouche era is marred with anger and trust issues, but inklings of his gentle side pour through the cracks of his angry exterior. He wants his godhood back, but with a gnosis to signify his unchallenged divinity. Suffering a humiliating defeat, he spends years recovering with Lord Kusanali. With her help within Irminsul, he learns the truth about the Tatarasuna conspiracy and returns there to help rebuild it. During these times, he has attempted to destroy his physical form but with no success. He still grapples with the pain and possibility of Niwa being dead.
Currently, he is back in his role as Tatarasuna’s archon, recognized by the people but not officially by the Shogunate nor Watatsumi. He protects them, watches over them, interacts with them, plays with them and assists them in their problems. He is slowly healing. He is becoming gentle like he had been before, but he still sometimes has a sharp tongue. Unlearning some of his bad habits is tough.
Word of his actions in Tatarasuna reach Raiden Shogun. Eventually, he is invited by Ei to live within Tenshukaku and undergo training to someday replace her. Some rps may follow this storyline, where he accepts her offer and is in training to be the next Shogun—a prince. For now, he is Tatarasuna’s protector and in a sense their prince.
He has days where his faulty memory causes temporary memory loss. In those days, he is more gentle and kind than usual, only remembering life before Niwa and his children, yet still cherishing humanity.
In regards to his mother, he cannot fathom her actions towards him and demands an explanation. His feelings are bitter, with a slight longing for a motherly figure in his life. It takes him time to feel semi-comfortable around her.
Physical appearance would be the same as canon Kabukimono but he has two fangs, his left fang upward and right fang is downward. This is similar to Fudo Myoo/Acala. Sometimes he wears his hair down or in a ponytail, other times he wears it in five braids like Acala/Fudo Myoo, but his braids start at the middle of his hair. Sometimes his horns and/or tail will be visible, or glittering scales may randomly appear on his body. If you look closely at the scales on his tail, you will notice little particles that sparkle akin to glitter.
For accessories, he always wears the golden lotus kanzashi (the hair ornament from the husk set) and an Atasi or Kalpalata Lotus on the other side of his hair.
Clothing choices besides the standard kariginu, he wears an assortment of colorful kimono, sometimes wearing the obi in front. He knows the meaning of this but some days he just prefers wearing his obi in that way ( ´ ▽ ` )
TLDR; Kabukimono was the gentle, somewhat naive ‘archon’/prince of Kannazuka. In some rps he is a Shogun in training on Narukami Island, a prince. He has undergone much suffering but still retains that gentleness he is known for. He also has an nice collection of beautiful kimono ehe :3

shumika // stage
*
Mika knew, from the moment they accepted the idea for this live, that Shu's nerves would be frayed. Part of him almost expected Shu to pull out at the very last second, or to fall into an anxious episode bad enough it'd force them to retreat for the day. He knew, he expected it all; it still didn't prepare him to see Shu's hand trembling so much that he couldn't fasten the clasps of his outfit.
It was their first time on stage with fine since Tanabata.
Mika swallowed a whimper, a desperate need to hold Shu like he'd do to the kids back at the orphanage when they cried at night. Instead, he approached Shu slowly, as one would a skittish animal, his hands extended but not reaching--showing he meant no harm.
"Oshi-san," he called slowly, doubting himself already.
Shu looked up with trembling eyes, and Mika swallowed thickly.
"What is it," Shu replied haughtily, but it lacked heat.
"D-Didja need any help…? Yer hands are shakin' real bad."
"This is nothing! It's beyond me to be anything other than composed when we're about to go on stage. That's why I--" He seemed lost as he stared at his own palms. "I…"
"Let me?"
It was all he said, but the meaning came across. After another second of hesitation, Shu stepped closer, then thrust his wrists into Mika's waiting hands. With utmost care--as everything made by Shu's own hands ought to be treated--he fluffed up the lacing and set the cufflinks in place. He inspected the rest of the outfit, looking for other unfinished details.
In silence, Mika fastened the loose corset, fixed a tangled earring, and adjusted a brooch that had been a second away from falling off. He smiled to himself, satisfied; his oshi-san should always be perfect, an absolute figure under the spotlight. Mika would never allow anyone else to witness this fragile, disheveled state that only he was privy to.
"Oshi-san, yer missing the choker," he pointed out lastly, already rummaging through Shu's belongings for the right accessory.
"Ah, you're right. I apologize, it's unbecoming to be this absentminded--"
"It's fine." He held up the choker between thumb and forefinger. There was a complicated feeling burning in his gut. "I'll do it fer ya. Just sit tight and think about the performance, 'kay?"
Although he looked as if he wanted to protest, Shu's mouth fell closed at the first touch of Mika's fingers to the curve of his neck. Without a word, he turned his back to Mika, who observed the exposed skin with obsessive fascination. Before he clasped the choker in place, he pressed two fingers to Shu's skin, where he could feel his pulse hammering away anxiously. 
"I can do it. I can take care of it," Mika said, with more than one meaning.
Once the choker was in place, Shu insisted he do the same for Mika. The matching accessory swayed in his still shaking hands. They didn't talk about it, although they both knew the reason. They didn't talk about the unlit stage that permeated Shu's nightmares.
As he stepped up to perform his task, Shu lingered, not really working but instead running his hands along Mika's hair, his skin.
"Your hair has gotten longer again," he muttered.
"Why didja accept this job, Oshi-san?"
Shu paused. He played with a strand of hair, not yet moving to clasp the choker.
"To prove a point, I suppose. Is there any other reason than pride?"
Mika nodded, understanding. They had to overcome fine, one day. They just had to. And he knew that Shu longed to beat them into the dirt, bury their corpses. To affirm his suffering by telling the world I overcame my weakness, you're not taking me down again. And so, Mika made that his dream, too.
Slowly, bit by bit, Shu's hand stopped shaking. For a brief second, he leaned on Mika, face pressed to the crown of his hair. Then, he breathed in and out, clasped the choker into place and took exactly two steps back. Mika turned around to find his expression set in steel, the lines of his shoulders firm. Shu tipped his head, nose up, an arrogant smirk on his lips. His eyes burned with the desire for triumph.
"We've stalled long enough, Kagehira. Let us remind those fools the stage is meant only for the highest quality of art."
Shu’s palm was steady on his back as he directed them towards the stage. Mika watched that face, not even a little bit scared of being yelled at for staring.
There, there he was.
His oshi-san. The most beautiful person in the world.
