Looking back to high school, my friends and i took every opportunity we had (and those we didn't we took them anyway) to act in the most awkward way possible
#I'm not talking about behavior (although it would also be true)#I'm talking about acting#we turned every presentation as an excuse to act and deliver the most terrible performance with 98% inside jokes that no one understood#it was so fun and out of the blue i would do it all over again#we also had theater classes and we acted everytime we could but with the same principle#of course everything we did was weird as fuck or in best case scenario a comedy#our logic was 'they bully and cast us outside regardless what we do‚ let's have fun' and we did#and when our classmates stopped hating us (the group of girls who treated us like shit changed classes and then the rest realized#we couldn't care less about them and I was friend with one of them so they were chill only the last year)#so we pulled them all into the madness and every presentation ended up as a video from all the class doing the most weird shit ever#and of course with the bloopers#most times the videos had nothing to do with the assignment but since the whole class was involved they let it be#but the other 5 years when we were from 4 to 6/7 girls? i think the teachers thought that since we embarrassed ourselves it would be mean#to fail us‚ or maybe they thought we were hilarious as fuck‚ or (probably the most realistic) they knew that our lives were a complete mess#so they looked the other side#but honestly i have no idea how we passed that history class when we had to make a presentation about renown people and all we did was#print Madame Curie face (it ended up green because the printer was almost dead) cut the eyes so i could see and use it as a fucking mask#one of my friend was 'the teacher' who announced that 'look who came to today's class' and i appeared talking with an accent that i used to#make because we thought it was funny (not even russian) and started to talk about radioactivity (literally reading the paper while trying#to not laugh) while my friends were openly laughing so still 'in character' (we barely knew anything about her) i started to scold them#the teacher of course didn't understand why the fuck we were acting but she laughed either way#and thought we were funny enough so we passed 🙌#anyways#chronicles of Yu's life

kenhina / kagehina au i guess?
ok this is gonna be funny i think
So our story begins with Hinata Shouyou, the little peanut butter-ray of sunshine from Karasuno High. He's the sweet guy everybody knows and loves but he's super chill so doesn't act like he’s the king of the world or something like that. He doesn't even have the height for it. Ok, and we also have Kageyama Tobio, the new kid at school that kinda looks like is always about to curse someone, but he's a sweet guy and just doesn't know how to deal with new people. He sees Shouyou in the hallways every day and ugh he's so small and beautiful! Kageyama is definitely into him. Last but not less important, we have Kenma Kozume. He's super shy and doesn't care so much about what others could think of him. He loves video games and nerdy stuff and only hangs out with his bestie Kuroo. He's known Shouyou since they were kids and has adored the orange guy since then. But he's never had the guts to tell his feelings and honestly he doesn't want to, that's fine. So far so good.
Hinata asks Kenma one day if they could talk privately. Imagine the poor's guy heart! He got so nervous thinking how the conversation would go that he wrote a letter about his feelings for Shouyou. He could never have the courage to say it but writing is fine he thinks? So they went to a nice place to chat. Hinata tells him he's in love with someone and thinks this someone loves him back. Kenma is like on fire and asks if he knew the person and Shouyou say yes. “He's from your class I think. He's the new kid, Kageyama, you know?” Ooh, he sighed and felt stupid thinking that Hinata could have feelings for him. Anyway, Shouyou asks if he could help him to get Kageyama's attention and like a good whore he says yes.
The next day Kageyama decides to talk to him about Hinata as well. He asks for Kenma’s help to have Shouyou since they are friends and Tobio is terrible at flirting. Kenma is a smart and nice guy, and also he is in love. And what do we do when we love someone that doesn’t love us back? We suffer, damn it! And he was already in his emo and overdramatic mood, so he thought about his love letter to Shouyou, which still was on his backpack. And then, gave it to Kageyama. The letter had no name and signature so it would fit for anyone, because it was just some romantic shit. Tobio was confused, who tf just has random love letters by chance? “I just.... like to write, guess I’m a poet guy. Nevermind, just take it and give it to him.”
So things went how they were supposed to go in this case. Shouyou loved the letter and Kageyama was all he could think of. So they started to hang out and etc but sometimes it would get weird because Tobio didn’t know how to express his feelings and they’d have this awkward silence, but their eyes would say “I really like you and like when we spend some time together.” They were really cute lovebirds. Some weeks later, Kenma is at Kageyama’s house doing some school shit and he actually thinks Tobio’s a nice guy and deserves to be with Shouyou. Anyways, Hinata wants to facecall Kageyama and soon his phone started to ring. It was funny to watch how the guy would freak out everytime he had to speak, and he just says things like ‘Hinata-boke’ and makes fun of Shouyou’s height calling him chibi. Hinata loves it but this day he wants to hear some beautiful words from his almost-boyfriend. Tobio turns to Kenma with a desperate face and receives a disgusted look from the blonde one. “Ugh, you’re terrible at this. It’s torturing to watch, let me help you.” So he stays away from the camera but whispers lovely and fancy words about Hinata to his friend. As expected, the orange guy gets super emotional and praises Kageyama’s talent. They end up that day oficially dating.
Time goes by for almost a year and since the lovebirds are dating, Kenma’s service is not required anymore. Until one day Hinata opens his heart to Kageyama about his true feelings. “Look, since the first time I saw you, I knew you were going to be mine. You looked like an angel and you always do it. But now I know that I love you more every day, and I love your soul. I get chills thinking that we’ve been together for almost one year and you still write and put these love letters on my locker every day. I love you, Tobio.” Kageyama takes a few minutes to absorve the information and feels so angry he could pass out. After saying goodbye to his boyfriend, he looks for Kenma all over the place and eventually finds him. Kageyama’s a good guy and the walk made his nerves get calm so he asks Kenma about the boy’s feelings for Hinata. He already knew the answer but needed to hear it, and the blonde had no choice than nodding with his head affirmatively. Tobio gives a long sigh and looks at him. “You need to tell him. I don’t want this anymore, I don’t wanna pretend that I can write love letters and recite poems. Just talk to him and we’ll see who he prefers.”
Kenma didn’t want to, but he feels like he owes Kageyama this since he’s been kinda catfishing his boyfriend for one year. He finds Hinata and approaches him saying they need to talk, but soon as he looks directly into Shouyou’s eyes, he feels sooo weak! He feels weak because Hinata is too much for him to handle, because him and Kageyama are a happy couple and he doesn’t want to ruin things for nobody. Also, Kageyama is at 3rd year, about to graduate and move away for university, so why not just let everything the way it is? He’s okay and so are the lovebirds. “Nevermind, Shouyou. I forgot what I had to say, sorry.” He looks for Tobio too after this. “You won, prince charming. He chose you.”
So nothing changed at all. They stayed together more happily than ever, enjoying every minute they had together before Kageyama’s moving, but it eventually happened. They managed to stay together for some years despite the distance but Tobio has his own life now and so does Hinata, and they decided to go to different paths. Shouyou and Kenma are still friends and as always, Kozume would get his back for anything. They see each other almost every weekend and in one of these days, Hinata reminds the school times and everything that happened. Now he’s not that chibi anymore and has some muscles that makes Kenma sweat, and Kozume by the way looks the same as high school, just his hair changed a bit and got longer. “Wow, remember when I dated Tobio? It was fun. Hope he’s doing great.” Kenma doesn’t say anything and just takes a sip of his tea.
”He wrote me so many letters by that time, I wonder why he didn’t follow this career. He was truly something else.”
”I’m sure his writing sucks.”
”Shut up! It doesn’t.”
”Yeah, right....”
”Ken-chan, you are so mean sometimes! I’ve even memorized some of his verses, you know? There’s one that’s like... ‘My heart follows you every instant... And it will always be, even in the most distant worlds’... Ugh I don’t remember the end.”
“...the same heart that loves you so passionately.”
Hinata chokes on his tea. “Kenma, how do you know that?”
Kenma looks away, waiting for his orange braincells to start working.
“It was you this whole time?” Silence. “Look at me, please.”
Kenma did it. And he sees the guy he’s always been in love with giving him the brightest smile.
“I’m sorry, Shouyou.”
They discuted a bit about reasons, emotions and this kind of shit. The important part is that Kenma was still a living being, since he always thought he’d pass away if Hinata knew his feelings one day. But it didn’t happen and he was holding hands with Shouyou now (thought they are a bit sweaty) and feeling happier than ever.
“Ken-chan, can you recite to me some words?” Shouyou closed his eyes, putting his head on the blonde’s shoulder.
“Yes, Shou. I could do this forever.”
“Oh then, please do it.” 
Kenma smiled and closed his eyes too.

little disclaimer! you might be thinking “but why didn’t kageyama check with hinata if his conversation about kenma’s feelings actually happened?” well, that’s because this au is inspired in a theater play and kageyama’s character was supposed to die right after kenma told him shouyou’s choice, but god i wasn’t going to kill the poor guy right?? and don’t worry about him, he’s living a cool life in paris.
oook so i had a great time writing this!!! it is inspired from my ultimate-favorite-play of all time, ‘cyrano de bergerac’ by edmond rostand. hope u enjoyed reading :)

DISCLAIMER: I do not know anything about college so bear with me for some stuff okay? if you guys see something i did wrong pls tell me because i really don’t know much about colleges in the u.s.
CHAPTER TWO: THE FRAT BOY.
Registration day passes by in a flash - Your excitment only growing at the sight of the schedule on your hand.
“We have to make a deal.” Shawn says as he walks by your side - You had never seen someone look so damn good with a jean jacket, but somehow, Shawn could pull that (among many other things) off really good.
“What will the deal be about?.” You raise an eyebrow with a cheesy smile. He takes a sideways glance at you as he grins. “I’ll go to every single one of your plays as long as you go to every single one of my performances.” He states and you chuckle softly. You both arrive to what had grown to become one of your favorite coffee shops, not too far from campus and the coffee wasn’t bad at all. Soon it had become Shawn and your’s hang out place.
“That’s it?.” You scoff playfully as you two get in line, Shawn’s body turns to you - His frame hovering taller than yours. “Deal.” You comply with a smile and his grin grows to his eyes. 
It had been a cozy fall afternoon, just like the ones you loved so much - And Shawn’s company was comforting and secure, only a week had passed by but hell, you already knew that Shawn was going to be someone very special on your life.
You watch him softly, his eyebrows furrowing as he nibbles (unconsciously) the tip of his index finger, his gaze focused on the menu before him, thinking about what he was going to order - Though he always orders the same thing, you notice. Shawn was a true sight for sore eyes, no doubt, he was all softness and tenderness - All warmth and kindness, and that was something so comforting for you.
“First day of classes, how are you feeling?.” Shawn asks, his voice slightly distorted by the fact he was brushing his teeth - Toothpaste on his chin. 
“Good? Nervous? Anxious? Maybe all three.” You reply, fixing your black skirt and knee high socks. You look at your figure reflecting on the full-length mirror before you, you feel excited - But also jittery. 
You watch as Shawn walks out of the bathroom, a comforting smile framing his lips as his messy chocolate brown curls fall down his forehead. 
“You’ll be fine, (y/n). You’re gonna knock ‘em dead.” He reassures and you groan, throwing your head back and he chuckles. “I’ll walk you to your classroom, is not that far away from mine.” He suggests and you smile brightly at him.
“Thaaaanks.” You chant, hugging him briefly. “But we need to go now!.” You state, walking towards your bookbag, slipping the strap on your shoulder.
Shawn shakes his head playfully, taking his guitarcase and black backpack and making his way to the door where you tapped anxiously on the floor.
You two make your way through campus, both of you feel jittery as he walks you to your Introduction to Theater Production class. The halls open wide before you, crowded and filled with noise - Part of you feels like you don’t belong there, but you know you’re not the only one that feels like that.
“Here we are.” Shawn mumbles, staring at the door - You sigh nervously and he touches your arm lightly. “Good luck, lovely.” He smiles, somehow that had become his nickname for you, and everytime he said it - it just made you weak on the knees.
You smile gratefully. “Thanks.” You grip onto the strap of your backpack. “Good luck to you too, Shawn.” He smiles once again, grazing your arm softly.
“I’ll see you later.” He finishes off before walking away, you see him turn around the corner - His tall frame disappearing from your vision. You take a deep breath, and walk inside.
Your breath hitches on your throat when you notice all eyes on you — Everyone had the same nervous look on their faces, except for one or two people that look relaxed. 
 You make your way to a seat in the middle of the classroom next to the big windows, dropping your bag on the floor next to the seat. It was a cloudy morning, dim light shines through the windows. 
 You tap nervously on the floor as the teacher comes in, closing the classroom door behind her. All smiles and grey hair, but she still manages to look juvenile — A dress with flowers falls below her knees as she walks to the desk.
 "Good morning, class.“ She greets bubbly, walking in front of the class. “Welcome to Introduction of Theater Production.” She softly shoves her glasses on top the bridge of her small nose. “First I would like to start by saying-.“ 
 The door opens, interrupting her – She frowns slightly as a guy with a smug smile on his lips walks in.
 "Good morning, Mr…." 
 "Holland, Tom Holland. I’m sorry for coming in late.” He says, those words roll off his tongue with a thick British accent, but you can tell he hardly means it by the playful tone on his voice. 
 "Mr.Holland, take a seat – and don’t come in late again.“ She scolds as Tom makes his way a couple of seats behind you. He grins brightly, messy curls fall down his forehead even though his hair was gelled back. Your eyes follow his motions, he sits - not before clasping hands with a couple of his friends with a smug smile. 
 "My name is Ophelia Lockhart, you can call me Ms.Lockhart.” She greets, the eager smile coming back to her kind and wrinkled face.
 Class rolls in, and the initial jitters disappear as you take notes — Never had you felt so happy about taking a class.
 "Class dismissed, I’ll see you guys tomorrow!.“ Ms.Lockhart clasps her hands together and you stand up, taking your bag from the floor.
 Suddenly a shoulder brushes up against you harshly, making you stumble forward.
 "Hey!.” You scold with a frown – You raise your gaze, the dark blonde haired guy stares at you, non apologetically. 
 "Sorry, darling.“ He shamelessly stares at you up and down, and you huff. 
 "Yeah well, you should look where you’re going.” You spit, rolling your eyes and walking past him. 
 He watches as you walk away, clicking his tongue. First day of class and he had already pissed off one of the girls in his class. 
 You make your way to your next class, which was at the theater of the college — Basically a world away from your current location. Someone taps your shoulder and you turn to look at girl — Redhead with freckles on her cheeks and nose like stars splattered in the night sky. She smiles politely at you.
 "Hey.“ You greet slightly confused.
 "Hey! I hope this isn’t weird – It’s just you are in my class and I don’t really have friends so I was wondering if we could you know go together.” She says with a big smile, no doubt on her voice and you smile kindly. 
 "Yeah for sure! I’m (y/n).“  You shake her hand politely, your voice filled with kindness. Her expression is filled with relief. 
 "I’m Rachel!.” She replies with a smile and soon you both make your way to the Theater. You notice she is very talkative and fun, she tells you why she loves theater and you keep talking as you enter the theater. 
 "So has anyone told you about the big party one of the kids on our class is throwing at his fraternity?.“ Rachel asks and you shake your head.
 "Really? Everyone was talking about it right after Ms.Lockhart’s class.” She says slightly stunned.
 "I kind of left in a rush, that guy - Tom is kind of a jerk.“ You say and she chuckles. 
 ”That jerk is the one throwing the party.“ She explains and you laugh, tipping your head back.
 "Woops.” You say playfully as you two walk down the stairs and sit in front of the stage — The theater is vastly huge, filled with rows and rows of seats and a high ceiling.
 "It’s tonight at 10pm if you wanna go, and I hope you do because I don’t know anyone else.“ She chuckles and you smile. 
 "I think I will, i’ll ask my roommate if he wants to go.” You reply and she nods. 
Tom walks into the theater, this time followed by two of his friends, he makes his way down the stairs as he talks and jokes with his friends. Most of the girls in the class were already smitten by him, mostly by the fact that he was British. Some girls were shallow like that. 
 "How much you want to bet he will have a player reputation in a few months?.“  You lean to the side of Rachel and she giggles.
“I think he already kind of does.” She replies softly, watching subtly as he sits on the row behind you.
And with that class rolls in, Mr. North starts by teaching Corporal exercises and talking about performance and acting.
You’re just grateful that after that class you have a free period to lunch, so after class is over, you start to make your way out. 
But Tom has other plans as he swiftly catches your wrist, you turn around with furrowed eyebrows.
“Party at my fraternity tonight, love. Hope you can show up.” He winks softly, you narrow your eyes at him. He was obviously trying to bother you, and it was hard to believe that guys like him still exist in college - You had thought that, that kind of inmaturity had been left in the halls of High School.
You shake your hand off his grasp, turn around and walk away with Rachel trailing behhind you. You had no time to argue with such a prick.
But Tom is just amused by you - Not because you weren’t head over heels over him, but you just seemed like the perfect kind of girl to bother.
As you open the doors of the theater the gloomy weather greets you with a cold breeze.
“Told you he was a jerk.” You comment as Raches catches up to you. 
“You’re still going to the party, right?.” She asks, silently hoping you say yes.
“Damn straight.” You reply with a grin tugging on your lips.
Shawn throws on his denim jacket, paired with boots and black skinny jeans - Did he own anything other than that outfit? Maybe you would never truly know.
“I can’t believe you were already invited to a frat party on the first day of college.” He runs a hand through his curls as he says this.
You shrug, applying a little bit of mascara on your eyelashes. “The guy was kind of a jerk, but what are the chances he’ll see me, right? Besides it’s sounds fun, we can meet new people.” You convince yourself more than Shawn. You were never much of a party girl in High School due to your part time jobs to afford College, but now - Why wouldn’t you give a well deserved break?.
Shawn nods slowly as you walk out of the bathroom, your frame wrapped around a grey dress that falls above your knees - Paired with a burgundy scarf, because Boston weather demanded it. Shawn whistles playfully at the sight of you and you can’t help but roll your eyes - Even when your cheeks flush, but you can always blame it on the cold weather.
“Do you own any different clothes, Shawn?.” You say mockingly and he narrows his eyes at you.
“I’m living the college life, (y/n).” He explains and you look at him funnily. 
“I hardly think that means wearing the same clothes three days in a row.” You reply with a chuckle and he shoves you playfully. 
“Alright, alright, fashion police - Stop judging my outfits and let’s go already.” He changes the subject as he opens the door and you two walk out.
The frat house was a little far, but Shawn made the walk to it comfortable - Making jokes that weren’t actually funny here and there. At last, you two stand in front of the frat house, crowded with drunken freshmans.
Music blasted through big speakers, everyone held a red cup on their hands - It was certainly an enviroment you hadn’t seen before, but your stomach churns from the excitment. You walk through the threshold of the elegant - but messy - frathouse and the picture inside wasn’t any different. 
The house, even if it looked amazingly big from the outside, was crowded with people - Giving you two only so much space to walk through. In the stairs there were people making out, some were puking - And in the impromptu dance floor people were grinding against each other to some pop song.
“Just what you had imagined, eh?.” Shawn says with a smile, taking a sideways glance at you - You roll your eyes playfully. “Do you want a drink? There must be drinks in the kitchen.” He says and you slowly nod. He starts to make his way through the crowd, soon disappearing from your sight. 
You shift awkwardly on your heel, staring at everyone but not for too long - How could someone really have fun like this?. 
A pair of eyes is set on your frame.
“Look who came.” The guy slaps Tom’s arm, making him follow his friends gaze until it falls on you. 
A sly smile tugs on his pink lips. “Did you doubt she was going to come, Haz?.” He asks his friend with unique arrogancy. 
“I fail to see your amusement with that girl, you only met her today.” Haz replies, taking a sip of the content in the red cup. Tom shrugs, the black shirt tugging at his arms as he does.
“I’m not amused, she just seems fun to bother.” Tom replies, leaving his red cup on one of the tables and he begins to make his way to you.
You feel his gaze on you, and once you see him you fail to hide the annoyance on your face. 
“Glad you came, darling.” He greets with a sardonic smile - Brown eyes sparkling with intent as he stuffs his hands on the pocket of his denim jeans. 
“Why do you keep bothering me?.” You ask mildly, crossing your arms over your chest. 
“Am I bothering you? I’m just trying to be nice.” He deadpans, and you huff. “Okay I find you very interesting, does that explain it?.” He breathes, but the look on his face says something else - He had a mischief painted all over his face.
You look at him quizzically before letting out a chuckle. “Yeah, right - Listen there are like plenty of other girls that will be dying to have this conversation with you, so can you buzz off?.” You ask beyond annoyed. It was true he was attractive, he had the looks of prince charming himself and the smile of a god, but that didn’t mean he had any right to bother you.
He smiles dauntingly, for some reason, your annoyance only made him want to tease you even more. 
“Oh c’mon-.”
“I think she said ‘buzz off’.” A voice says from behind him, Tom turns around only to see a tall guy holding two red cups on his hands. He had a grave look on his topaz eyes as the words rolled off his tongue.
You stand there amused, and it feels like the music isn’t playing anymore - But that isn’t right, because the world is happening all around you three, you just can’t feel it. 
Tom’s smirk never fades away as he stands straight, though he can’t quite reach Shawn’s height. 
“And you are…”
“With her.” He gestures you with his chin, walking over to your side and handing you the red cup. You feel tense, no idea of what was truly going on.
Tom reaches to shake Shawn’s hand.
“I’m Tom Holland, the guy that threw this party.” He introduces himself and Shawn shakes his hand stiffly, with a straight face. 
“Shawn Mendes.” He replies, and lets go of Tom’s hand - Shifting his weight to his other leg. “Nice party, do you tend to bother girls a lot?.” Shawn taunts and you almost choke on your drink.
Tom let’s out a dry chuckle. “I didn’t know she had a boyfriend.”
Your eyes widen as you swallow hard. “He isn-.”
“That’s really none of your business, is it?.” Shawn interrupts before taking a sip of alcohol. The air is thick, a couple of people stare at the little game of words being thrown around Tom and Shawn,
Tom lifts his hands up in surrender, clicking his tongue. 
“I was just trying to be a nice host.” He explains, with a smooth smile - His eyes locking with your shocked ones. “I’ll see you tomorrow, darling.” He winks before walking away.
Shawn swallows hard, glancing at you. 
“I take it that was the jerk you mentioned earlier?.”  He comments and you nod - Your lips dry and your mind still stunned. “Well you weren’t wrong, if he tries to bother you again, just tell me, alright?.”
“I had it handled, Shawn.” You mumble, looking at the beverage on your hands. “Thanks though.” You smile at him, and he smiles back - His muscles relax. 
“No problem,” 
You see a familiar red head make her way to you and you wave eagerly.  “You came! I’m so glad, I’ve met a few people and I’m going to introduce you to them right now!.” She says eagerly, clearly slightly tipsy as she grabs your wrist and pulls you to her. 
“Wait, Rachel - Shawn!.” You shout at him, and he chuckles as he follows the both of you. You stumble upon a few other people before coming to a stop - Right on the living room, specifically on the couch a group of people were seated.
“Guys this is (y/n)! She is in my theater class.” Rachel introduces, hugging you sideways - Her alcoholized breath hitting your cheek as she does. 
A couple of ‘Hey’’s fills the room and you wave awkwardly. The group introduces themselves; Eric, a short, black haired guy. Hannah; All big green eyes, pale white skin and curly dirty blonde girl. David; Tall, scruffy guy. 
Shawn comes up behind you, holding another cup for you since Rachel had made you accidentally drop yours somewhere among the crowded halls. 
“Oh and you are?.” Rachel asks, glancing at Shawn - He smiles awkwardly.
“Shawn.” He sends a small wave before looking down at you and handing you the cup.
“Thanks.” You mumble gratefully, taking a sip of the much needed alcohol. The room smells of a mix of smoke, sweat and alcohol and it makes you scrunch your nose up at the unpleasent smell.
“So how was your first day of class here at Boston Arts University?.” Hannah asks, crossing her legs - Her tight dress hiking up slightly.
“It was really good, are you guys Freshmans too?.” You ask softly and she chuckles.
“God forbid, no.” She replies as Eric and David laugh along. “We are Seniors.” She smiles at you. “But I remember my first day here, kind of nerve wracking.” She states and you nod at that.
“Yeah well, it was nerve wracking - But it was also nice.” 
“Rachel mentioned that you two want to be Drama majors.” Eric comments and you nod, taking a sip of your drink. “Nice, i’m a Drama major - If you ever need any help, ya’ know.” He says politely. “Or if you just want some weed to release some of the stress.” He wiggles his small eyebrows at you.
Once again, you almost choke. Eric bursts out laughing. “I’m kidding, sweet pea.” He says between laughs and you chuckle. Soon enough they make their own conversation, occasionally you throw a comment or two - Followed by Shawn.
You couldn’t really shake of the uneasy feeling, your muscles were still slightly tense - And the fact that you still were on the frat house, in the party that Tom had thrown didn’t help.
A couple of hours pass by, Tom glances at you across the room here and there -  He felt like a fool, like he needed to prove something, but he couldn’t quite grasp what. He sees as you walk away from the group, placing the red cup on one of the tables.
“Tom, leave it alone - You were totally thrown off your own game.” Haz teases, only half serious. Tom had already drank more than usual, his eyelids feel heavy and he wobbles as he walks - But his mind was focused on you. 
“Whatever.” Tom mumbles drunkenly, turning away and walking toward the other room and up the stairs, making his way to his bedroom. He shuts his eyes for just a second before colliding with someone. “Ouch.” He grunts, fluttering his eyes open.
“God, Tom, you scared the shit out me.” You scold, placing your hand on your chest. I
“Sorry.” He hiccups and you cock your head to the side - The smell of strong alcohol hits your face.
“You reek.” You comment, you turn to walk away but he catches your wrist sloppily. 
“Listen, i’m sorry-.” He hiccups, his careless curls fall down his forehead. “I didn’t mean to bother you.”
Your face softens. “It’s fine, Tom.”
He shakes his head, his eyelids closing. “No-no it’s not.” 
He lets go of your wrist, running his hands through his face as he groans.
“Get some sleep.” You suggest softly. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” You bid your farewell before walking downstairs. 
Tom is left in the middle of the hallway, he feels hazy - And part of him knows it’s not just the alcohol making him feel that way. He shakes his head and it is like his legs are working again - making his way to his bedroom.
You join the group again, still feeling a little confused at the last exchange of words you had with Tom. Shawn touches your back softly, making you look up to him. 
“Do you want to go?.” He asks, his sleepy eyes say it all. You nod slowly and you two bid your farewells before waltzing out of the still crowded frat house, it was already 1:00 a.m and you had class tomorrow as well as many other people in that party - But you figure that’s the way college works. 
Shawn and you walk slowly through campus - Feeling the fresh cold air hit your skin, you had made the mistake of not wearing a jacket. Shawn stops on his tracks, you realize he starts to take off his jacket - leaving him only with a blue navy sweatshirt. 
You try to protest but he is already placing the jacket over your shoulders, softly placing and rubbing his hands on your arms. He smiles cheekily, and maybe it was the alcohol or the daze of sleepiness taking over your body - But you can’t help but think he looked more handsome than he had ever looked. 
“Thanks.” You breathe out sheepishly, he shoves his hands on the pocket of his jeans - His cheeks flushed and a tight-lipped smile on his lips.
“No problem.”
The dark night swallows the both of you - The night had been a rollercoaster of emotions, but right there - walking beside Shawn in the most comfortable silence, you felt whole.

////
“Welcome to Anteiku.” caressed Touka’s ears softly as she walked into her favorite cafe. It was the shy college student, who always made her favorite coffee when he wasn’t dropping it like an idiot. He was nice and his coffee was good, but he wasn’t the main reason she has been coming to the cafe more recently. The reason was the pretty girl who sat in the back who always ordered the same coffee as her except black. She was beautiful with her long hair and sweet smile, she drew Touka in like a fly on a spiderweb.
Touka always found herself staring at the older girl as she drank her coffee, blushing everytime she meet Touka’s gaze and smiled at her gently. Every single time made Touka feel like her heart was gonna burst.
“ Touka-chan…. Touka-chan.” Touka barely heard before Yoriko lightly pinched her cheek startling her out of reverie.
“Hey!” Touka hissed at Yoriko who just giggled.
“ You must be so head over heels if you're just ignore your very best friend like this.” Yoriko pouted at her. “Is it the really cute waiter?” Yoriko leaned in to whisper in Touka’s ear.
“ No, it’s the girl he’s serving coffee to.” Touka told her not meeting Yoriko’s eyes.
“ Oh she’s so pretty Touka.” Yoriko told her not even missing a beat, making Touka let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding.
“ So are you gonna talk to her?”
“Are you crazy! She is my senior, she probably wouldn’t even acknowledge me.” Touka told her downcast, as Yoriko’s phone went off causing them both to jump.
“ You never know unless you try, and please don’t forget you're cute as well Touka. I would stay longer but I have to get home for dinner. I’ll see you Monday in class.” Yoriko told her frantically as she quickly ran out of the cafe bumping into the waiter and knocking the tray out of his hands in the process.
The waiter just sighed as Touka quickly got out of her chair to help him, grabbing up the shards being careful to not cut herself.
“ I’m so sorry for my friend.” Touka apologized not looking at the waiter.
“It’s fine.”  he told her hurriedly, taking the shards from her in the process accidently cutting her hand.
“ I’m so sorry.” he apologizes his eyes moving across the cafe quickly. “I’m gonna go get you a bandaid.”
“It’s really fine, it’s barely bleeding.” she whispered behind his back.
“Are you okay?” a sweet voice asked gently taping her shoulder. Touka turned around and felt herself instantly blush at the woman who looked at her with concern.
“I’m okay.” she stuttered out much to her embarrassment.
“ I’m Rize Kamishiro.” she told Touka holding out her hand.
“ I’m Touka Kirishima.” she said taking Rize’s hand, noticing the book in her hand.
“ Is that the Black Goat's egg?” Touka asked recognizing it from school.
“Oh do you like it.” Rize asked her eyes sparkling.
“ Umm, I’ve read it in school,I thought it was really dark.”
“ Yes it is, it gave me goosebumps the whole time I was reading it, but that’s what I loved about it.” she told her passionately.
“ I’m sure.” Touka blushed.
“ You know, the movie adaptation of it is coming out next week, and I was thinking that maybe if you experience it with someone outside of classroom you might find a new appreciation” she mused winking at Touka.
“ Would you like to see the movie with me?” Rize asked her hopefully which shocked her to the core.
“ I would love to!” Touka stumbled out causing Rize to giggle which was like soft bells to Touka.
“ That's great.” she told her as she reached into her purse to grab a piece of paper and a pen started to write.
“This is my number, you can text me and we can set up plans for next week.”
“ Okay.” Touka confirmed excitedly.
“ I have to go, but I can’t wait to see you again.” Rize told her with a small wave as she walked out of the cafe. Touka was in a stupor over her interaction with Rize and she felt like her heart would beat out of her chest. She couldn’t believe that she was somehow able to get a date with a woman as amazing as Rize.
“ Kirishima-san.” she heard called out to her.
“What?” she snapped, feeling a little guilty seeing how the waiter jumped at her tone.
“ I have a bandaid for your cut.” he told her gently his eyes downcast.
“ Are you sure? I’m sorry for snapping at you I didn’t mean it.” Touka apologized.
“It’s okay Kirishima san.” he responded as he took her hand spraying it with a disinfectant causing Touka to hiss a little bit before he placed a bandaid on her cut.
“ You should be careful with Rize-san.” he told her suddenly
“ What do you mean by that?” Touka asked pulling her hand away from his.
“ Nothing, it’s not really important. Just don’t want my favorite customer getting heartbroken.” he answered rubbing his chin a bit with a small smile.
“I can take care of myself.” she told him rudely.
“I’m sure.” Touka even more confused by the sadness in his voice.
Touka stared at him confused before going back to her table to collect her things to leave the cafe. She wasn’t going to let the waiter’s cryptic warnings ruin her high from getting a date with Rize. She walked out of that cafe determined to prove that waiter wrong in his judgement.
Touka spent that whole week leading up to her date preparing for everything to be perfect. She spent the whole week choosing what to wear, the perfect outfit to make her seem more mature than a high school student. She also spent time taking extra good care of her skin, and practicing makeup tutorials. She was distracted the whole week, hardly acknowledging her Uncle and her little brother, no matter how much the later pointed out how weird she was acting. When the day finally came, she was wearing a short skirt and one of the nicer shirts she owned, her makeup was as natural as it could look even with her hands shaking the whole time she was applying it.
When she arrived at the movie she waited outside in the brisk fall air waiting for Rize to arrive, and she was even more beautiful. She was dressed in a simple black dress that reached her ankles, and the sight of her made Touka’s heart stop.
“ Hi Kirishima-san.” Rize giggled.
“ You can call me Touka.” Touka blurted out blushing. “Hi.” she added a second later covering her mouth in embarrassment..
“Okay Touka-chan.” Rize giggled lightly. “ Are you ready to see the movie?”
“ Of course.” Touka smiled her blush not leaving her face.
They walked to the line to receive their tickets in complete silence, neither of them making any attempt to speak to the other. Which Touka was thankful for as her nerves were  already making her a fool in front of Rize. They received their tickets, and Touka awkwardly moved towards the snack counter as Rize went straight to the theater.
“ Rize-san do you want any snacks?” Touka called out gaining Rize’s attention.
“ I’m sorry I’m on a diet.” Rize told her sheepishly.
“ Oh okay.” Touka nodded her head in understanding.
“But, don't let that stop you, I don’t mind waiting for you to get some.” Rize eyes widening gesturing for her to get back into line.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m positive.” Rize smiled at her giving her two thumbs off prompting Touka to almost skip into line to get popcorn and a small coke before rejoining Rize.
The movie went well, Touka actually enjoyed the movie of “The Black Goat's Egg” more than she thought. Maybe it was the actual movie, or it was her peaks at Rize watching how the woman was so enraptured by the movie, her eyes even sparkling at times. It made the whole experience feel magical, and a lot better then reading in a classroom. Touka felt almost privilege to experience something that Rize loved with her, and hoped that they would do something like this again.
By the time the movie finished it was already dark outside, the sight instantly made Touka want to get on the closest train home. Ever since she was little, it was ingrained in her to be home before the ghouls prime hunting time, something she hasn’t been able to shake. But, she wanted to spend more time with Rize, so she tried pressing down the mounting irrational fear.
“ Did you like the movie Rize-san?” Touka asked as they walked idly out of the theater.
“ It was alright, not as good as the books though. However, I will give them props on how they brought certain scenes to life, especially the gore scenes.” Rize’s face was flushed and was practically jumping up and down as she spoke, the sight making Touka smile.
“ I know, it was so gross I had to look away.” Touka admitted making Rize smile.
“ Not a fan of gore?”
“Not really, I’ve seen enough crime scenes from my Uncle where my stomach automatically wants to duck and cover at the sight.” she admitted sheepishly.
“Oh, what does your Uncle do?” Rize asked with immense interest.
“ My Uncle is a ghoul investigator, well my whole family is my parents were, and my little brother is in the academy currently.” Touka told her making Rize pause and turn towards her almost robotically.
“ But, not you.” Rize asked smiling wide.
“ No, I was in the academy for a while.” she admitted. “For the longest time I wanted to be an investigator especially after parents were killed while working. I had so much anger in me for a long time fueling me to do it, but after awhile it just dissipated. It realized it wasn’t making me happy and it was only making my pain worse. So, when my best friend Yoriko left I decided to follow.” Touka shared with a shrug.
“I’m really sorry for rambling like that.” she added realizing how much information she gave away.
“No it’s okay, I really want to know more about you Touka-chan.” Rize blushed.
“What about you Rize-san are you in College?” Touka getting the attention away from herself.
“ Not currently, I’m trying to decide what I want to do. Right now I’m just trying to have a little fun.” she answered bumping her hip against Touka making her smile.
“ So, Touka-chan I was wondering if you would want to come back to my place it’s getting late and you can get a ride home from there?” Rize insisted.
Touka thought for a minute, deep down in her gut she felt like she should refuse, the station wasn’t that far and her Uncle’s apartment wasn’t that far from the station she would get out of. In the long run it would be easier to just take the subway then to go back with Rize, but as much as her mind was telling her no, as much as her gut was echoing it, her heart said otherwise.
“Sure.” Touka finally answered. Rize smiled at her, and if Touka didn’t know any better she would have thought it was more wicked than genuine. They slowly walked through alleys, and back streets, hands brushing against each other every so often making Touka blush. They were walking for such a long stretch of time that Touka kept looking for signs that indicate a subway station near by so she could excuse herself.
“ Rize-san are we getting close. I really have to get home my curfew is getting close; I could just take the subway if it's still a little off.” she rambled nervously. Rize paused in her walking, before turning to face Touka with a warm smile on her face.
“ Oh, I’m so sorry Touka-chan.” she paused for a moment, “ We are almost there but if you are more comfortable taking the subway it isn’t that far away.” Rize informed her.
“ I might just do that then.” Touka admitted sheepishly. “ I really don’t want to make my Uncle worry or get in trouble.”
“ It’s okay Touka-chan.” Rize walked up to her pulling her into a hug leaning her head against Touka’s shoulder, which felt a little awkward since Rize-san was a few inches taller than her.
“I’m really glad that I met you.” Rize smiled into her shoulder.
“ Me too.” Touka blushed her heart beating rapidly.
“ I usually don’t go for girls like you Touka-chan, but I guess I had a bit of a different appetite this time.” Rize told her. Her words made Touka blush harder, but her stomach knotted up painfully at her phrasing.
“ It’s really a shame cause you are really cute.”  Rize said as Touka felt a sharp pain tear through her shoulder. It hurt so badly that Touka instinctively pushed Rize away making the pain only worsen.
“ Don’t you know shoving is impolite, Touka-chan.” Rize scolded mockingly. The sight of Rize  brought forth an instinctual fear in Touka as she looked at the blood on the ghouls mouth and the two Kakugans staring her down. Touka felt herself start to cry at the sight, she was gonna die. She wasn’t strong enough to fight a ghoul without any weapon, she was gonna die here.
“ You know, I usually only eat guys and date girls. But, how could I resist someone whose blood smelt so sweet, and has a relationship with the CCG to boot. I’m gonna have fun tearing you apart.” Rize laughed her kagune unravelling from her back. Touka reached into her purse, feeling for anything that could be of use, finding nothing except for a bottle of cheap body spray. Touka uncapped it with a shaking hand gripping it to be able to spray it at a moments notice.
“ Bet, you wished you became an investi...” Rize didn’t finish as Touka sprayed the perfume right into her mouth and eyes causing the ghoul to sputter and spit. Yet, Touka didn’t even stay long enough to hear those. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to outrun Rize let alone fight her, but if she could get to a public place Rize wouldn’t be stupid enough to try anything. Touka ran into a nearby construction zone hoping it would be a shortcut as she reached into her purse grabbing at her phone frantically trying to call her Uncle as she ran. Yet, he didn’t even get a chance to answer before she felt something tear through her, and grab her phone.
“AHHHHHHHH.” Touka screamed in pain stumbling to the ground painfully.
“That wasn’t nice Touka-chan, and here I thought you liked me.” Rize cooed in mock hurt.
“Well I’m sorry you turned out to be a crazy bitch.” Touka spat back. Rize just smiled at her as she shoved her Kagune right back into her mushing around her insides. The pain was unbearable, and Touka felt herself throw up because of the pain.
“ Hey, hey don’t do that you are gonna make yourself taste gross if you keep doing that.” Rize scolded.
Her voice was faded from Touka being drowned by the sound of her blood pumping, even though she felt weak she still tried to get away from Rize. Only to be laughed at and pulled back to Rize like a little game, Rize taunting her with how delicious she tasted. She didn’t want to die, not like this scared and alone. She wasn’t gonna give up, she wanted to fight with her brother, drink her Uncles coffee and laugh as he burnt everything else he touched. She wanted to go to college and become a teacher. She had so much to live for only to have it all wasted because she was stupid and missed all the signs. Touka used the last of the strength she had and yelled out “Help!” which only made Rize laugh maniacally.
“Still alive. Maybe its about time to change that.” she said leaning down over Touka. Touka waited with baited breath to die, but it didn’t come as the steel beams above them suddenly fell on top of Rize barely missing Touka. Touka felt relieved at the fact that Rize was done, the loud sound of breaking bones just hitting Touka. Yet the relief she felt  was replaced by fear again she didn’t want to die, she didn’t want to die, she could feel those waiters warnings mocking her as she struggled to breath and grew colder. Her eyes trained to the shadow above her as she slowly lost consciousness.
She was in a dream state for a very long time, she could barely remember anything just the dull pain. Occasionally she would hear things like medical terms she didn’t understand, someone telling her she would be okay, the loud mechanical beeping of her own heart, and a warm hand around hers. She didn’t know how long she was out for but she could remember the exact moment she woke up. Her little brother Ayato was sleeping besides her, his head resting on her bed at an awkward angle. Touka smiled at that, he was never a touchy feely person, but seeing him made her heart warm. Touka reached her hand up to his head contemplating if she should stroke his hair or flick his forehead to stop his snoring. She chose that later causing him to stumble out of his slumber to rub his forehead, he looked like he was about to yell before his eyes focused on her. Much to Touka’s shock, she saw tears start to form in his eyes before he turned away from her to run into the hallway.
“ Uncle Yomo, a nurse anyone!” she heard him yell his voice shaking. “Touka is awake!” he continued frantically until he both summoned her Uncle and a nurse. The nurse checked all of her vitals, telling her how happy she was to see her awake and that a majority of the IVs and tubes would be removed once Doctor Kanou checked over her.
“Doctor Kanou is still on duty I’m gonna see if I can get him before he leaves for the night.” the nurse told her Uncle who was still hugging the doorway. To which her Uncle just silently nodded turning his gaze towards her, which made Touka feel so small and she started to cry a little bit so happy to see him. It wasn’t until the nurse left that her Uncle finally approached her, and gestured for Ayato to give up his seat next to her.
“ There is another chair right there Uncle Yomo.” Ayato protested, as Yomo gave him that blank stare that Touka knew from experience could make them do anything.
“Fine.” Ayato huffed getting out of his seat, and taking the other one that he pointed out. Yomo took Ayato’s seat and pushed if closer to her bed staring at her. His eyes looked so sad and tired, but he gave her a small smile as he grabbed her hand brushing her knuckles gently.
“ I’m glad your okay.” he told her, his voice choked.
Touka stared at him not used to so much emotion from him. She wanted to ask him so many questions. How long was she out? Did they know that she was attacked by a ghoul? How did they find her? It was like he could read her mind though, cause as soon as she thought it he started to speak.
“ I don’t know how much you remember, because you can’t really speak with that tube down your throat. But, you somehow ended up in a construction zone, Kosaka-chan told me you were on a date with the girl they found you with. Apparently the beams were being held with faulty wire, and they fell on the both of you. She was hit where she was deemed immediately brain dead, and you were still alive but needed a kidney. You both were the same blood type, so they made the decision to transfer hers into you.” he explained to her. She didn’t remember it like that Rize was a ghoul, she attacked her, her wounds would have immediately given away a ghoul attack  even to a doctor who wasn’t used to seeing them. She moved her hand around herself, her shoulder and her abdomen where Rize had both biten her and stabbed her. But there were no wounds backing up what she remembered. Did she imagine it? Was it a fever dream she made up during her recovery? She had no idea.
“Why were you so stupid going into a construction zone like that?” Ayato asked her. Touka just shrugged her shoulders not able to speak.
“ Be nicer to your sister, we don’t know what happened.” her Uncle scolded him.
“Still stupid, especially for someone who was apparently so smart in the academy.” he scoffed.
Touka just ignored him, her leaving the academy was such a sore spot between her and her brother. Touka figured that he saw it as a betrayal, because they decided to become investigators together. She had been top of her class in the academy, she did well in her academics and in her training whereas her brother cared more for training, so he must be dealing with a lot of comparisons. She really had no regrets about leaving except it put a hole between her and Ayato.
Thankfully her brother stayed quiet after his last comment, and her Uncle just continued to look around the room silently. All of them just waiting for the doctor to come, Touka just wanted the tubes out of her as they were making her extremely uncomfortable. Thankfully the silence was broken by a knock on the door, before the man she assumed was her doctor walked in.
“ I’m glad you are awake Kirishima-san. I’m Doctor Kanou, and I have been taking care of you since you’ve arrived.” he introduced himself before he examined her. “ Your vitals and everything look good, so it looks like we can take out the breathing tube to make you feel a bit more comfortable. I will call for a nurse to remove it, then we can talk about how you are feeling” he told her before leaving the room for a few moment to get a nurse.
Touka spent her last two weeks in the hospital feeling like she floating outside her body, it didn’t feel the same since she woke up, and it was only getting worse. Everything she forced herself to eat was hard to keep down, the taste varying degrees of trash. It felt like she actually died and went to hell when she was in the hospital, she was so hungry even if she was able to keep her food down. Everytime Dr. Kanou came to check on her she would ask if her aversion to food was normal. Every single time even after weeks of her barely eating he would give her the same yes answer with the most unsettling smile. The whole experience just became so taxing on her mental health.
The only thing that kept her sane in those two weeks is when she got visitors, Ayato’s light teasing their relationship seemed to have mended a bit with her brush with death. Yoriko’s sweet perfume, whenever she hugged Touka and her long stories of what she was missing in school. Even her Uncle quiet presence was enough to make hours go by quicker bringing her one step closer to returning home. All Touka had to occupy her time with when she was alone was manga and Dr. Kanou’s constant questions on how she was feeling. She was so sick of staying in hospital that she couldn’t contain her excitement when the day she got to leave arrived. Her Uncle was the only one with her, as her brother was still at school when she was to be released. The moment she walked out of the hospital and felt the sun on her skin, she immediately felt a lot better then she has since she woke up.
“ If you have any complications or concerns don’t hesitate to come back to see me.” Dr. Kanou smiled at her a strange glint in his eyes.
“ Of course.” Touka answered bowing in thanks trying to keep keep her mood from going back down again.
Touka quickly turned away from the doctor before sliding her arm in between her Uncles, practically dragging him as her stomach grumbled. The sound made Touka nervously laugh and her Uncle smile at her.
“I’m gonna be making burgers for dinner tonight. I know they are one of your favorites.” Yomo informed her as they walked towards the subway station.
“You don’t have to.” Touka insisted sheepishly hoping he would get the hint she didn’t want him to cook.
“Would you like the idea better if I ordered it instead?” he asked raising an eyebrow.
“Very.” Touka laughed.
They took the subway home, discussing where they would order the burgers from Yomo concentrating more on the pricing, and Touka on who made the best and offered the most choices. When Touka made it off the subway she practically ran home missing it after being in the hospital so long. Touka felt so relieved to be home not having seen it in over a month, it was the apartment she has lived in her whole life. One of the only things that never changed when her parent passed away. They had passed away within months of each other, both facing a ghoul named the One-Eyed Owl. After their deaths her Uncle moved into her parents apartment in an attempt to lessen their pain by not uprooting them from their home. As Touka grew up she started to appreciate what he did more, with his long commute to the first ward branch everyday. He really tried to be a parent even though he was barely an adult himself, he tried and failed at cooking, made it to every sports game, career day, and even made sure that she and her brother had all the help they needed dealing with their parents death.
She was very close to her Uncle more so than her brother, they never really needed words to understand each other. Even now as they waited for both their food and her brother to arrive she could find comfort in his presence. Her Uncle was doing paperwork in the kitchen as she mindlessly watched a baking show on the television. She felt guilty that he must be swamped with work because he had taken time off of work to stay with her in the hospital.
“What are you working on?” she called over to him, causing him to look up.
“ Not much field investigators in the 20th ward want a second opinion on a case since I live here.” he told her.
“On what exactly?” she pressed.
“ A ghoul called The Binge Eater, it’s believed to be a female ghoul and it was very active until a month ago. They want a second opinion if it left the ward or not, so im comparing it’s MO to other attacks outside of the ward for them.” he told her.
Touka felt her blood run cold at that, her mind going immediately to the nighmare image of Rize that haunted her.
“ Aren’t you too high ranked for that kind of stuff?” Touka asked her voice shaky.
“ Yes but keeping this ward safe for you and your brother is more important than doing a low rank job.” he told her, as their doorbell rang making Touka jump a bit before getting off the couch to get the door. Touka gave the money to the delivery boy, and brought the burgers into the kitchen so she could put them on plates. It was only a few minutes after the burgers arrived that Ayato barged into the apartment without announcing himself and slammed himself down at the dinner table.
“Nice of you to barge in, did you get your manners knocked out of you during training.” Touka joked placing a burger down in front of her brother before taking a seat herself.
“Haha very funny aneki.” Ayato waved her off sarcastically.
Touka instantly lifted the burger to her mouth taking a deep breath that she instantly regretted, it smelt rotten, like they left the meat out too long in the sun. She felt herself inspecting it trying to find something wrong with it, but when she couldn’t find anything obvious she looked at her Uncle and somehow he had no problem eating it. Touka finding some comfort in that; slowly lifted the burger to her mouth taking a bite. Touka couldn’t even chew it before she felt herself throw up onto the table. Everything was wrong with it, the texture the taste reminded her of what weeks old trash left in the summer sun for a week looked and smelled like. She felt embarrassed and also so heartbroken at the same time, she just wanted to eat something god damn it.
“ Touka I know Yomo’s cooking isn’t that good, but your being dramatic.” Ayato laughed.
“ I didn’t cook it.” Yomo stated looking at her concerned, getting up to clean up the mess to lessen her embarrassment.
“ What?” Ayato asked taking a bite out of his burger to taste it himself.
“ Touka this is great, what’s fucking with you.” Ayato scowled at her.
Touka ignored him and wiping at her mouth and chugging water in an attempt to get the taste out of her mouth. Touka took a deep breath trying to calm herself down but this was the last straw burgers were one of her favorite foods, one of the staples of her diet post Yomo guardianship. If she couldn’t eat this, something must really be wrong, and she had an impossible idea of what was wrong.
“ Im gonna get some fresh air.” Touka blurted out standing up so quickly the chair made a loud noise as it scraped that floor before she raced out of the apartment.
Touka didn’t know what to think, she knew that her aversion to food was an obvious sign of being a ghoul. That was one of the first things that she had learned when she was in the academy. But, that didn’t make sense she was human she had always been human, and humans just didn’t turn into ghouls. This had to just be paranoia or stress, even if Rize was really a ghoul and her kidney was in her, it couldn’t have turned her into ghoul. She would have to have had a kakuhou for this to happen, and no way could she developed one. She felt like she was going crazy even just thinking like this. Maybe it was because she was so hungry that her mind was going into weird places, maybe this was all mental post traumatic stress. She could ask Yomo to go back to therapy, maybe be able to work through this, force herself to eat.
Touka felt herself pause though when for the first time in weeks she smelt something that was actually appetizing. Like a market filled with freshly cooked food, it made her stomach ache and her mouth water. Touka started to follow it in shock that something smelt good, her mind not even clicking for what it could be. The smell lead her into a deserted alleyway, behind some abandoned buildings and what she saw made her want to burst into tears. It was ghoul eating someone that was,that didn’t even resemble a human anymore. She just found herself staring, twitching to get closer. The ghoul eventually looked up a her, and the look it gave her made her jump back at the intensity.
“ Get lost and find your own food.” it growled at her as it stood to scare her off. But, it never got any closer to her before it lost its head.
“Well aren’t you a little hypocritical you piece of shit.” A female ghoul with short brown hair told the beheaded body, before turning towards Touka..
“ You know ghouls who can’t keep to their own territory really piss me off.” she told her walking towards her.
“ I didn’t know.” Touka squeaked out.
“ It’s the highest form of disrespect to a ghoul, just like flirting with a girls boyfriend right in front of her.” she told her shoving her into a wall with the ghouls arm crushing her throat. Touka clawed at her arm in fear, but it only made the female ghoul press into her harder eyes gleaming at her pain
“ Kimi-senpai cut it out.” Touka heard as the ghoul in front of her was pulled off of her. Touka felt her eyes widening when she saw waiter from Anteiku, except he was wearing glasses, jeans, and a sweatshirt unlike his usual uniform.
“ If I remember correctly Kimi-senpai, this is Rize’s territory.” he told the female ghoul with a polite smile.
“ That bitch stole it from me, and nows shes dead so it’s mine Kaneki.” the ghoul Kimi said moving closer to the waiter.
“ Well if you really want to get into it, the lands Anteiku’s and we just loan it out.” the waiter clarified his smile getting bigger, and more fake. “ But, I’m not here to fight just take the body and leave. I even have a bag you can use.” he told her shoving a duffle bag into the ghouls arms.
“ I don’t want the body, I want to teach that bitch a lesson for coming into my territory.” she spat throwing the dufflebag to the concrete.
“ Kimi she’s new to the ward. No one at Anteiku has told her about the rules yet.” he tried to explain to her calmly.
“Well, I think losing her head will be the perfect way to learn.” she told the waiter coldly trying to move forward.
“ Kimi, just leave it. I don’t want to fight just let me take care of it.” he said as he grabbed the ghoul again.
“ Yeah right, you fighting. You’re too nice to hurt a woman” she said pushing him out of her way to get to Touka.
“ I warned you.” he said in a way the sent a chill down Touka’s spin before he grabbed the female ghoul slamming her to the pavement with a sickening crunch.
“What the fuck Kaneki?!” she screamed at him blood running down her face, to which the man only smiled as he grabbed one of her arms pulling it behind her back.
“Did you forget what my main job is besides serving coffee?”
The female ghoul didn’t make any attempt  to respond she only tried breaking out of his grasp.
“ I’m in charge of enforcing the rules around the ward, do you really think i’d have this job if I couldn’t beat the shit out of someone.” he reminded her.
“ Do you know what rule your breaking?” he asked calmly pulling on her arm causing the woman to call out in pain.
“ I’m supposed to leave territory disputes for Anteiku to handle.” she whispered.
“Bingo.” he told her pulling on her arm until it made a popping that made even Touka flinch. The women screamed in pain, and Touka couldn’t help but feel sick at the sight of it.
“ Now take the body and heal up. I will take care of this.” he told her finally letting go of the ghoul who hesitated a second before grabbing the bag and running.
“Well now that’s taken care of.” he whispered to himself before he turned towards Touka who had slid to the ground during their encounter. She stared up at the man in shock as his eyes which were usually a really pretty shade of grey, had changed into the telltale red and black of a ghouls Kakugan in one eye. She was terrified of him in that moment, the goofy waiter who almost always spilt her drinks, but, as he got closer she saw something that scared her more. As he bent down in front of her the light hit his glasses just right and she saw her reflection in them. To her horror her eyes were the  perfect mirror image of his own, and she felt herself start to break down as he said.
“I would say I’m glad your alive Kirishima-san, but we both know you would be better off dead.”

Down The Rabbithole Ch8
(Disclaimer: The song the queen and her dancing partner sings is I'm In Heaven When You Kiss me by A Touch Of Class and in no way mine.)
Chapter Text
The flowers whisper.
At least that was the guards job was to do. To sit by the flower garden and listen for the whispers of the upmost importance of her majesties flowers and report back whatever they said. Usually they weren't very important and the talking plants would only deliver gossip like: "A royal prince is approaching from the north woods!" "Blondie Locks has broken her leg climbing a tree." "The Chesire Cat has been seen singing in the meadow." "The Giants found out rocks are a good source of house building material" And his personal favorite. "The Heart Queen accidentally fell into the mud puddle." But he wouldn't say it out loud for fear of loosing his comfy job. His job was very easy, he just had to sit down in the royal garden and wait for the flowers to speak whatever nonsense they spouted and then he'd go report it to her majesty. He didn't know why she even had this job but he wasn't complaining...Until now. The clanking of steel and heavy breathing rattled throughout the halls as the guard ran through the perfectly polished halls of the massive castle towards the theatre. The place where the Queen would most likely be this time of day. The man passed other servants and guards who looked on in confusion as he ran. Paintings and expensive table and suits of armor decorated the halls along with plenty of hearts of the dark red and pink colors. The checkered floors looked like he was running across a black and white chess board as he still ran. He turned a sharp corner and made a few wobbling steps, the weight of his armor almost making him fall but thankfully he didn't and just kept running towards the royal theater room. He only hoped his queen was there
~meanwhile~
The lights were out, darkness taking over the giant room as soft music played a beautiful melody for the few servants gathered within the darkness. One servant cranking the music machine as it played while another manned the spotlight up above in this darkness onto the two dancing within the middle of this darkened melody place. The shiny floors and outfits they wore glowing in the light as the two still danced and sung along to the music gracefully. The woman of such poise and grace and her hair of the most feiry red, one might've mistaken her for a dancing goddess. Her partner a handsome but plain young man who was helping her dance along and sing to said music as he went to spin his beautiful queen of the red hair around.
"I'm in Heaven when you kiss me~," she sang with a heavenly voice as her partner spun her around and when she faced him she put a hand under his chin. Fake loveingly of course. This was acting. "Show me how you miss me.~ Take me back with you to Wonderland.~" He spun her again and once her back was facing him he grabbed her hands and lead her into a sideways waltz as the music's beats bounced just a bit faster. "I'm in Heaven when you kiss me. Show me how you miss me.~ Take me back with you to Wonderland.~" He suddenly spun her again and dipped her expertly. "You capture me with a stare.~ I follow you anywhere.~ You leave me in temptation.~"
He smiled and pulled her majesty up and they spun a few times around the shiny wooden floors before she spun away from him and made a pose with her hand on her hip and holding an arm out towards him and he did the same pose back to her.
"I guess you need to enjoy.~ I'm like a kid with a toy.~ I'm loosing my concentration.~" She put a hand to her forehead and feined swooned towards him and he easily caught her in his arms, swirling her around in mid air in his hold. "One kiss from you I'm on fire.~ You're all I desire.~ One look at you take me higher.~" At 'higher' he suddenly stopped and did a ballet pose where he grabbed her by the hips and lifted her up as she posed before bringing her back down and setting her back onto her feet. "You know I couldn't resist.~ Yeah! I miss-" She swirled back to face him and they locked hands. "Everytime I'm with you.~ Everytime that we kiss.~" He gracefully brought her into a ballroom waltz with one hand on her hip and another holding her hand. The spotlight remaining on them. "I'm in Heaven when you kiss me.~ Heaven when you kiss me.~ You were sent to me from Wonderland.~ I'm in Heaven when you kiss me.~ Heaven when you miss me.~ You were sent to me from Wonderland.~" Her hand then again then fakely cupped the man's cheek lovingly again as she still waltzed with him greatly across the dancefloor and danced with him. "I go crazy when you kiss me.~ Show me how you miss me.~ Take me back with you to Wonderland.~ You know I couldn't resist.~ Yeah, I miss.~ Everytime I'm with you.~ Everytime that we kiss.~"
A small pause of singing followed along with piano music coming out from the giant music box like machine in the corner and during that time her partner lead the beautiful Queen into a slightly faster pace. Dipping her and adding swirls to the mix and smiling with fake love for their act as they did and the few servants watched in awe as he still guilded her around. He pushed her away from him still connected by one hand before bringing her back in and spinning her until she was pushed away from him again and still held his other hand.
"I dream of you every night.~ It's like I'm loosing my mind.~," the man gracefully sung out as he brought her back to him and again began gliding her across the dancefloor in a graceful waltz. "This feeling is just getting stronger.~ My head is spinning around.~ You play with me but I'm bound.~ I can't resist any longer.~" He gave her a quick spin or two before making her stop to face him again smiling. And she cupped his cheek acting the part again.
"One kiss from you I'm on fire.~ Your touch is all I desire.~ One look and you take me higher.~" He then spun her out and again they posed as he held out his hand to her other hand on his chest as she continued to sing. "You know I couldn't resist.~ Yeah, I miss.~ Everytime I'm with you.~ Everytime that we kiss.~" She held her hand out to him as if expecting him to take it and he did, bringing her back to his own being smiling and bringing her into a slow and gently waltz. "I'm in Heaven when you kiss me.~ Heaven when you kiss me.~" She sang softer as they held each other and fakely gazed at each other lovingly. " You were sent to me from Wonderland.~" Her voice went to her normal pitch when he suddenly half dipped her deeply before bringing her back up and increasing the pace of their waltzing as he glided her around. "I'M in heaven when you kiss me.~ Heaven when you kiss me.~ You were sent to me from Wonderland.~ I go crazy when you kiss me.~ Show me how you miss me.~ Take me back with you to Wonderland." They suddenly stopped but she continued singing. "You know I couldn't resist.~ Yeah I miss.~ Everytime I'm with you.~ Everytime that we kiss.~"
She fake swooned and put a hand to her forehead and 'dropping' as limp as a ragdoll to the floor in a fake swoon, he expertly grabbed her and kneeled down with her in his arms as she still leaned back with her eyes closed and smiling as he sang his other verse of the whole performance they were practicing again and again.
"You know that I'm hypnotized.~ Every time I look in your eyes~." His hand went to her head lifting it and making her face him as she reopened her eyes 'lovingly' up at him. It looked like a picture perfect scene out of a fairytale book when the prince lovingly saves the fair princess or maiden and before they have their happily ever after. "You know I could disguise, and I couldn't resist.~" His hand cupped her face 'lovingly' as he sang. "Every time that we kiss.~"
"I'm in heaven when you kiss me. Heaven when you kiss me.~ You were sent to me from Wonderland.~" She sang softly as they remained embraced in that pose for a long moment. Before the music suddenly sped up and in one fluent motion his hands went to her hips and she was snatched from her swooning pose off the floor, turned around and in that same ballerina pose and swung her around facing the servants, spotlight following them. "I'm in heaven when you kiss me.~ Heaven when you kiss me.~ You were sent to me from Wonderland.~" She was placed back down and he wrapped an arm around her waist from behind as his other hand grabbed her as he lead her right across the floor and they looked at each other 'lovingly' again. "Ooh, it's heaven when you kiss me.~ Heaven when you kiss me.~ You were sent to me from Wonderland.~ I go crazy when you kiss me.~ Baby, don't resist me.~ Take me back with you to Wonderland.~" She was then released from around her waist and she was allowed to turn around in a half spin back into his hold as they went back into a ballroom dance. "You know that I'm hypnotized by your eyes.~ And I just can't resist ever time that we kiss.~ Soft piano music played for another short moment as they danced along and they smiled at each other as he spun her and continued to waltz her around the room. "You know that I'm hypnotized by your eyes.~ And I couldn't resist every time that we kiss.~" She sang out softly one more time.
A few soft piano notes continued to play out and in those few seconds, she jumped into his arms and he caught her and lifted her up. Spinning her around as sparkles glimmered in the light from her perfect dress showing off her natural beauty and then lowering her back down in a half dip 'I'm about to kiss you' pose as the last few notes played out-
SLAM!!
A few of the female servants screamed and the Queen jumped and was almost dropped by her dancing partner as they looked over towards the double doors that were slammed open in a haste, but luckily she was caught by her dancing partner who also looked over startled with everyone else. Light flooded the darkened room, lighting up the fancy floors and the small wardrobe in the corner. Standing in the doorway was a sweating, heaving heavily man who was blinking and wearing heavy armor and looking all around the now lit room until his eyes landed on her highness in the man's hands. The man wheezed and with shaking legs making his armor even more noisy he stumbled his way towards her. Finally the red haired queen blinked and scowled. Making herself stand up and wriggling out of her old dancing partner's hold and glaring at the guard approaching.
"Flower Keeper! What's the meaning of this!?," She demanded separating herself from everyone and marching over to the man who kneeled and fell to his knees faster than a rock in water in respect to his Queen as she approached in that glittery pretty dancing costume. Her shadow loomed over the knight who was wheezing and slightly shaking due to not being used to running that hard and fast. "You know I do not WANT to be disturbed when I'm practicing my performances and everyone knows this." She leaned down further with an annoyed tone. "You better have a good explaination for this."
"Y-Y-Your majesty. I-I-....*wheeze* I b-bring news from the flowers. I-It's very important I swear it!"
She stared down at the knight still kneeling before her before looking back to the servants around her and raising a hand up to snap her fingers, immediately the windows were opened by the servants letting more light flood in and light the room back to it's normal status and the man handling the spotlight above blew out the giant candle used to light up said spot light before descending the latter. Most of the servants scrambled about or out of the room including her dancing partner and she gave a quick look to him.
"We'll continue the dance routine later, Pierre. Say hi to your husband for me." The man nodded before bowing gracefully and leaving through the doors as well. She watched as the doors closed and she was left with the still kneeling guard and two maids who just stood by silently waiting as their Queen paused and looked at the man waiting to be addressed. He heard footsteps retreating from him but didn't dare look up when the queen walked back over to the corner of the room where a giant divider and wardrobe was accompanied by the servants as the two ladies quickly went to help their lady dress as she disappeared behind the curtain. A second later the fancy costume was thrown over the top of the divider and the silohouettes of the maids could be seen helping the lady into a different outfit. A moment later she returned back out dressed in her own clothing as she frowned back at the guard still kneeling...And approached him. "Tell me. What news was so important that you would barge in and disturb my weekly practice when I give specific orders not to? What could be so important about flowers gossip that you would defy your queen's orders?"
The shuddering guard before her gulped and still dare not look up as the shadown of the Queen of Hearts fell over him and he paused before answering with a stutter in his tone. "M-M-My apologies, Y-Your Majesty. P-P-Please forgive me. B-But I have news from the flowers. T-T-They speak o-of an intruder t-to your kingdom."
Her brow rose. "An intruder? Nonsense. Any royals and their subjects are welcome as long as they bare no harm. What intruder do you mean?"
He gave a shaking breath. "Your highness. A-A-A....A Human has f-f-fallen into Wonderland."
A silence followed as everyone let those words sink in-
"WHAT?!", The queen yelled making everyone around her wince away from the now scary look her beautiful face presented as she demanded answers of the shivering man, "HOW?! WHERE ARE THEY NOW!?"
He frantically shook his head. "I know not. T-They-..The flowers haven't t-t-told me anything beyond what was said-"
"Then wait DID they say to you?!"
"T-T-They said a human woman fell into our world on t-t-the edge of the Giant's forest and was last seen heading north. S-She was a fair skinned maiden with eyes of red and hair of molten gold. S-She wore red of rose and was seen following the ways of the north woods path your majesty. B-But that's all I know I swear to you!"
The Queen with an unreadable emotion in her eyes sighed through her nose and stared down at him....Before walking around him and walking towards the opened doors. "SEND FOR MY CAPTAIN OF THE GUARDS IMMEDIATELY!! SEND FOR MR. LANCER A. LOT!! NO HUMAN SHALL WONDER FREELY WITHOUT PAYING THE TOLL ALL HUMAN PAY WHEN THEY ENTER MY KINGDOM!!"

IT (1986)
What is it about? The Losers Club, a group of 7 kids that in different ways are outsiders among the other children in the little town of Derry must come back 27 years after defeating their worst fears embodied in a evil alien entity that has preyed on this small Maine town and its recidents since the dawn of time. Thoughts: - I have read this book a gazillion times and it’s my favorite Stephen King book of all time (though that may change once I finish this challenge, but only time will tell) everytime I read through its pages is like reuniting with an old dear friend, because most of the characters (read: the Losers Club) are just that for me, I read this book for the first time when I was 15 after growing up with the 90’s miniseries, and I loved it, that feeling hasn’t changed with the years and well I want to elaborate a bit on what I love about this book. - Derry’s history: One of the reasons this book is so damn big is that it delves on the history of this little town called Derry, of course this is to help the reader understand just for how long and how big is IT’s influence on the town, but I just found it so fascinating, I’ve always loved history, and this book just reaaaally fullfiled my needs in that aspect, the town’s history is full of gruesome events but it’s very intresting and through all the same. -Loser’s Club: I love this kids, we are introduced to them little by little through different POV’s and god, I just really like the diversity and complexity in them: a kid with a stutter, an asthmatic that is really a kid heavily manipulated by his overprotective mother, an overweight, a jewish with OCD, a girl victim of physical/emotional parental abuse, the class clown that most likely has ADHD, the only black boy in town… And what I love the most is that they are NOT defined by that, sure,that is how the world sees them but they are so much more than that and together they find their true identities: Stuttering Bill be comes the Leader, Asthmatic Eddie becomes the Compass, Fat Ben becomes the Constructor, Jewish Stan becomes the Logic, Poor Beverly becomes the Shooter, Trashmouth Richie becomes the Weapon (his voces physically hurt IT), Black Mike becomes the Historian. As well as the belonging and friendship they had never had before, their relationship is strong and beautiful, as a reader you will most often find some of yourself in them and even if you don’t you love them all the same for their flaws and virtues. -IT: I read somewhere that a story is only as great as its villian and in IT’s case that I think is only fitting, thus my love for is evil entity, because IT is really a big represantation of violence not necessarily(The Bradley Gang Shooting was afterall motivated by the Derry townsfolk rightgeousness) but mostly evil, IT transforms into awfull gruesome monsters yet his most terrifying act is the influence it helds on the people inhabiting Derry, on taking the violent nature of some people (Derry’s White Decency League, Eddie Corcoran stepfather’s, Alvin Marsh, Butch and Henry Bowers…) and exploit it for its own gain, IT is scary for it’s power, for the fact that one can really comprehend it’s magitude, and when we finally get to get inside it’s head we find something more akin to a beast, hungry and vengeful, he had turned lazy because he already had in Derry a comfortable feeding place and now wants to kill the Loser’s Club because for the first time in its long existance IT feels fear! and how wonderful is that? a group of scared isolated kids find strenght in each other to rid their Town and follow kids of this entity, even if they are afraid themselves, and they succeed in frightening a creature that literally feeds of fear. -The portrayal of the timelines and gruesome subjects: The 1950 are not usted only for aesthetics or praised as the “good old times” King shows a very gritty reality showcasing the racism (very prominent in Mike’s storyline), sexism, homophobia, domestic violence, anti-semitism,and it goes further yet showing that 27 years later these things haven’t changed and IT uses them for it’s benefit. The book doesn’t shy away from any of these things and often it is very hard to read through them but as well I think is important to read them to gain concience,they are not presented as good or romantiziced in any from or way, nor should they ever be (dude the anti-semitism in Patricia Uris’s POV is something that will open your eyes in many ways if you are not jewish, and the Black Spot story will horrify you but also help you understand it was not only the South of USA and the KKK that spread hate and horror for PoC people) this things are meant to horrify you thus I feel it would be a disservice not to read them (though I can understand if anyone simply can’t). -The bittersweet ending: Really heart breaking that after reuniting with the people they could really be themselves with the Loser’s Club are meant to not remember each other ( SPOILERS AHEAD DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANNA SPOIL PART OF THE ENDING OF THE BOOK: as a side note and I do not mean this as hate to the ship or anything but a real doubt I have can anyone explain to me why is everyone saying/asuming Ben and Beverly did end up together?, I mean going by the 90’s miniseries sure, but in the book Mike only says she is going to Nebraska with Ben and then back to Chicago with Kay and that he thinks they are/will be having sex, but also later we find that even if they are in the same Town Mike and Bill have begun to forget each other and it’s heavily implied the same will happen with them all? and that is a very Stephen King thing to do I mean most of the book couples I’ve read from him have similar bittersweet endings so… Pls someone explain) I just always about cry about the End and you know the THING that happens with two of the losers. But also I am a ho for this kind of bittersweet stuff so of course I love it. -Richie and Beverly’s friendship: Listen I LIVE for them, of course I just about adore every Loser’s friendship (Bill/Eddie, Richie/Stan, Richie/Eddie, Richie/Bill, Mike/Ben, Stan/Bev duuuude everyone is amazing) but this two just about make me crazy about them, tbh I kinda lowkey ship them in a platonic kinda way, and I was endlessly frustrated by the lack of scenes between them in the 90’s miniseries after I read the book cuz booooy, the yo-yo scene is so goddamned amazing, Richie being the first POV in which Bev is mentioned and he reminds her through the lyric of a song, his Humphrey Bogart voice he does when speaking with her, how much he respects her, also Miss Sca'lett!!!, not to mention that sweet ass scene they have in the book “22/11/63” where Bev is teaching Richie how to swing for a school talent show, ahhhh Imma stop right there cuz I am fangirling waaaay to much and probably y'all think I am wierd for liking such an unpopular thing. -There is just one thing I always felt was completely unecessary to add and was gross to read (you already know what I am talking about and if not I’m not gonna spoil you/gross you out), I have read of course why SK did it but I still think he should have looked for another way to make the Losers enter adulthood : / Movie/TV Adaptations: There are 2: The ABC’s 1990 miniseries “IT” and the 2017 movie by Andy Muschietti “IT (chapter 1)” of course it has been already confirmed there is going to be another movie for the Second part but I will not to go too much into it now. 1990: The opinions on this one are very polarized, some love it with a passion, some hate it… I actually love it, and by that I do not mean is a perfect adaptation, but it was such an integral part of my childhood and family life that it would be impossible for me to hate it, and I feel most people are terribly unfair with it, because it is not a Bad adaptation like let’s say Kubrick’s Shining (yaa I’m going there) it had a lot of limitations in budget and technology and still managed to capture some of the best parts of the book (the Loser’s friendship mainly, it was beautiful) of course it wasn’t gorey or violent but in it’s time it was scary as hell, which beings me to Tim Curry’s performance as Pennywise that became so iconic people automatically recognize the clown’s design, for fuck’s sake Pennywise became one of the most iconic monsters of that time and terrorized an entire generation of kids and adults alike, of course it has it’s faults (the adult’s part wasn’t great, tho the scene with Bev in Mrs. Kersh house was great, and the ending was bound to be confusing af to people that didn’t read the book) but overall it was a good atempt and it already has a place in pop culture and the hearts of many horror fans. 2017: Oh boy I was really looking forward to this one since they anounced it was going to be a thing (ahhh remember the time Will Poulter and Cary Fukunaga were our only hope?) and just had the chance to see it today, because a lot of awful things happened in my country (I am mexican btw) and yeah, so I left the theater with a very pleasant sensation IT 2017 is a great movie and I LOVED it, the acting was GREAT everyone did amazing, Georgie’s death scene was simply amazing and so sad, the projector scene was wow, lots of winks to book readers like the turtle and Eddie Corcoran’s missing pamphlet, Bev’s bathroom scene, the rock fight!!!,Eddie changing Loser to Lover is iconic, some of Richie’s one-liners were amazing, Pennywise dance pfffftt, Ben was adorable with his crush and love of New Kids on the Block, the Losers,“they’re Gazebos they’re bullshit!” iconic, mainly I feel it captured the general feeling of the book however that does not mean I didn’t had some issues with it as well, first thing that bothered me a LOT is the treatment to Mike Hanlon, excuse the fuck out of me but no, they took his thing (history of Derry) and gave it to Ben (also Ben not constructing things like ??? Could have been a perfect chance to have him build lego stuff but k) where is my beautiful spring loving child?? I just couldn’t find any single trait on his character apart from the wierd sheep thing and his parents, which takes me to another issue why is every adult on Derry so shitty? Like yeah there was a lot of shady awful stuff in the book but there were also ok people namely Mrs. Starret (the librarian, that is so unnecesarily creppy? Wierd? In the movie), Richie’s parents (his dad is hillarious), Mike’s parents they are the best tbh, Mr Keene (ok this one is a sarcastic asshole but he did try to help Eddie instead of letting him keep on believing he was sick to keep selling stuff, and also was never a wierd pervert), Mr. Nell (dude I would have killed to hear Richie doing the Irish Cop voice), the Tracker Brothers (boy Eddie looking longingly at the baseball diamond would have been 10/10, my boy loved sports)… thing is the Losers did love Derry and some parts of their childhood in it and that’s were the nostalgia hits on part two, Stan well I loved they delved more onto his jewishness (a thing not much touched in the book because Stan’s family is not very strictly religious) but was very side lined as well ( in my opinion that part about Richie being scared shitless and Bill punches him would have fit Stan better, also almost all of the Losers got closure (Bev rebelled against her father, Ben kissed Beverly and she got to find out he was the one who wrote the haiku, Bill got to talk with Georgie kind of?, Mike stepped up against Henry, Eddie confronted his mother,Richie let go of his fear to kill the fucking clown…) yet Stan doesn’t I just think it would have been nice to have him iniciate the pact as he did on the book and also his bird book????, the slut shaming and over sexualization of Beverly (I won’t even go into how much it broke my heart to see/hear Richie saying all that stuff about her like no, he respected her a lot thx) just why change the white trash problem to a slut shaming thing???(also while his dad did not beat her in this movie he was so much more GROSS than in the 90’s) I am however not bothered by the ‘Kiss of Life’ trope nor do I think she was reduced to a damsel in distress if anything she was the bravest of them all, also some things not really bothered me but made me wonder what will happen in Chapter 2 namely wft is gonna happen with Henry is he alive?? Same for Bev’s dad what happened there? Is he alive? Is he dead? Though of course we will get answers in chapter 2 I was just like wow how is this gonna pan out. Basically an amazing movie I was not disappointed at all and I would love to watch it again but as an adaptation I think I would still love to see a longish miniseries covering more of Derry’s history and the kid’s personalities/misadventures (of course I do not want THAT scene to be in any adaptation ever) but generally covering more book stuff. but hey all this is just my humble opinion and I admit I adore the book, though I am not closed off to changes just those things kinda made me go hmmmmmm…. Quotes: Stan: “Every- thing’s a lot tougher when it’s for real. That’s when you choke. When it’s for real.” “He wanted to tell them that those dead boys who had lurched and shambled their way down the spiral staircase had done something worse than frighten him: they had offended him.” Bill: “If fiction and politics ever really do become interchangeable, I’m going to kill myself, because I won’t know what else to do. You see, politics always change. Stories never do” “Silver flew and Stuttering Bill Denbrough flew with him; their gantry-like shadow fled behind them. They raced down Up-Mile Hill together; the playing cards roared. Bill’s feet found the pedals again and he began to pump, wanting to go even faster, wanting to reach some hypothetical speed — not of sound but of memory — and crash through the pain barrier.” Richie:“Now he had to go back to being himself, and that was hard — it got harder to do that every year. It was easier to be brave when you were someone else.” “He knew a great deal of the Bible already, and he knew the Bible believed in all sorts of weird stuff. According to the Bible, God Himself was at least one-third Ghost, and that was just the beginning. You could tell the Bible believed in demons, because Jesus threw a bunch of them out of this guy. Real chuckalicious ones, too. When Jesus asked the guy who had them what his name was, the demons answered and told Him to go join the Foreign Legion. Or something like that” (#make chuckalicious happen 2k17) Ben: “Maybe that’s why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for … and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.” “A child blind from birth doesn’t even know he’s blind until someone tells him. Even then he has only the most academic idea of what blindness is; only the formerly sighted have a real grip on the thing. Ben Hanscom had no sense of being lonely because he had never been anything but. If the condition had been new, or more localized, he might have understood, but loneliness both encompassed his life and overreached it. It simply was.” Eddie: “Sometimes home is where the heart is, Eddie thought randomly, I believe that. Old Bobby Frost said home’s the place where, when you go there they have to take you in. Unfortunately, it’s also the place where, once you’re in there, they don’t ever want to let you out.” “Maybe, he thought, there aren’t any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you’re hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they’re always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that’s what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.” Mike: “Haunted, haunting, haunt.Often visited by ghosts or spirits, as in the pipes under the sink; to appear or recur often, as every twenty-five, twenty-six, or twenty-seven years; a feeding place for animals, as in the cases of George Denbrough, Adrian Mellon, Betty Ripsom, the Albrecht girl, the Johnson boy.A feeding place for animals. Yes, that’s the one that haunts me.” “But Mike enjoyed most of the places in Derry his father sent or took him to, and by the time Mike was ten Will had succeeded in conveying his own interest in the layers of Derry’s history to his son. Sometimes, as when he had been trailing his fingers over the slightly pebbled surface of the stand in which the Memorial Park birdbath was set, or when he had squatted down to look more closely at the trolley tracks which grooved Mont Street in the Old Cape, he would be struck by a profound sense of time … time as something real, as something that had unseen weight” Bev: “oh shapes of men, sometimes seen as day closed down, sometimes seen across Watertower Square in the noonlight of a clear windy autumn day, shapes of men, rules of men, desires of men: or Tom, so like her father when he took off his shirt and stood slightly slumped in front of the bathroom mirror to shave. Shapes of men.” ‘Is it because I’m a girl?’[…] she exploded.‘Well, fuck you!’ She whirled around to look at the others, and they flinched from her gaze,so hot it was nearly radioactive. 'Fuck all of you if you think the same thing!’ She turned back to Bill and began to talk fast, rapping him with words. 'This is something more than some diddlyshit kid’s game like tag or guns or hide-and-go-seek, and you know it, Bill. We’re supposed to do this. That’s part of it. And you’re not going to cut me out just because I’m a girl.“ Adding this one cuz I love how stupidly cute it is and cuz that Richie is such a charmer XD (wot-wot?) ”[…]'Oh dear, am I being asked out on a date?’ For a moment Richie was uncharacteristically flustered. He actually felt a blush rising in his cheeks. He had made the offer in a perfectly natural way, just as he had made it to Ben … except hadn’t he said something to Ben about owesies? Yes. But he hadn’t said anything about owesies to Beverly. Richie suddenly felt a bit weird. He had dropped his eyes, retreating from her amused glance, and realized now that her skirt had ridden up a bit when she shifted forward to drop the ice-cream cone in the litter barrel, and he could see her knees. He raised his eyes but that was no help; now he was looking at the beginning swells of her bosoms. Richie, as he usually did in such moments of confusion, took refuge in absurdity. 'Yes! A date!’ he screamed, throwing himself on his knees before her and holding his clasped hands up. 'Please come! Please come! I shall ruddy kill meself if you say no, ay-wot? Wot-wot?’ 'Oh, Richie, you’re such a fuzzbrain,’ she said, giggling again … but weren’t her cheeks also a trifle flushed? If so, it made her look prettier than ever. 'Get up before you get arrested.’“

Some of my hobbies includes watching TV shows and movies, travelling alone or with friends and taking pictures. In the future I see myself starring in a TV show or a movie or maybe write my own scripted production and possibly direct one too. I am also hoping that with it I would win a lot of awards and have my work get the recognition it deserves.
Some other known facts about me are I tend to spend money very easily and splurge everytime I have the chance. I also enjoy appreciating different kinds of arts a lot wether it is visual or literature. I also have a very bubbly personality although I might seem very extroverted but sometimes I get shy too and feel insecure about myself but still I still count myself as a very confident person who is comfortable in his own skin.

CHARACTER SKETCH
The person that will be sketched into your minds is none other than Jericho Dalangin Javier or most commonly known as Echo by most. Echo is a short young man but full of dreams and positivity. He finds joy in little things a lot and can bring out the fun in dull moments. With stuffs like that, you can get along with himself easily and be friends with him. He is also a very friendly person and can find a new pal at any given situation. Although at some times he is very quiet and come off as shy but this is just because of lack of confidence in himself. He sometimes believes that what he's about to do is not in his capacity but actually it's the opposite. With that, we can count him as a pessimistic person.
As a friend, Echo is a very good company to be with. He would join you in any antics you throw at him and would be glad to hop with you on random places that you would want to go. He is also a friend you can count on. He is a very supportive friend and would believe that you can reach your full potential. He is also a person that you can vent out problems and on and would be there to listen and also share some few from him.
One thing that he doesn't like to do is stay comitted to something. Echo doesn't really enjoy talking about himself too and loves to keep his privacy all to himself. He still speaks freely about himself sometimes though and still would like to have you know little details about himself.
MEMOIRS
It was during ninth grade when I got the chance to do a thing that I really enjoyed doing; acting. My english teacher gave us a task, we had to remake a presentation of this popular theater play called "The Death of A Salesman". The class was divided into two groups and afterwards he made us watched the whole original theater play. My groupmates were already assigning people on who's roles they should fill in as the video played. They said that I should take on the role of the younger son named Biff because just like the actor shown in the video I was skinny, loud and had a very me vibe. I was fine with it but i thought to myself why would they give me that role though, Biff has such little screentime. I'd be much more satisfied if I played the role of the older son Happy. After that we formed a circle and everyone was discussing who should play who. No one was attempting to play the lead role, Willy Loman until they all said that I should just have the lead role instead so I gladly accepted.
During the practice days it was really for us to communicate since we were all friends and close at that time. We rehearsed our lines effectively as my other groupmates made the props. I was actually really excited to practice scenes since I really liked the tone of the play, it was very original and nothing that I've seen before. The drama was really heavy and although the characters are stereotypical they still had all depth to each on their own. We really bonded throughout the process of the practice that's why it was really an unforgettable experience.
The day during the performance I was slightly nervous but very excited. We were the last one to perform so we all tried our best to deliver everything well. Just like we practiced, everything went good as planned. Our hard works have been paid off during the awards day. I wasn't really expecting anything so I was shocked and felt really proud at myself when they announced my name and I got the Best Actor award. Everyone clapped for me and it felt amazing.
TRAVELOGUE
I really enjoy travelling a lot. I try to travel to different places as much as I can. But one of the most unforgettable experience is our trip to Batangas City in Summer 2015. It was during the hot days of May, we went there for fun with my relatives. We were all excited to go on the beach, relax and unwind. We did multiple stops on the way there just to appreciate the nature of everything on the way because there are a lot of sceneries that can be found on there. When we got to the hotel, we all went to our destined rooms. I got to share the room with my cousin. It had two beds with a large flat screen TV. Unfortunately, the room had a bad signal and there was no wifi available. The view from the window was really nice and you can see the beach from there.
Me and my cousins swimmed on both the beach and the pool. It was so refreshing and felt really nice to be out from the city for a while. We ordered milkshakes and smoothies from the beach house available there. We also collected cool stones that we could find and just ran around the place as if we were kids again. We had lunch at the buffet and I really enjoyed since there was a lot of foods to choose from exotic to homemade. During the night we spent it swimming on the pool and just talked and hang out.
During the morning we tried all the outdoor activities that they had to offer and swimmed at the beach again. We also had to leave at that day too so I felt really sad and just wanted to stay there. The buffet offered us now breakfast and lunch menu so I really ate all I can. I took a lot of pictures while exploring the place cause I know I'm going to miss it.
ERIARTE, ARA
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
February 19, 2000 at exactly 1:44pm in the afternoon, the girl named Ara Dela Cruz Eriarte was born. She is the child of Marilou and Armando Eriarte. She currently lives at San Jose Rodriguez, Rizal. She has two siblings named Arlou and Aaron Eriarte. And the person that wrote this, is the girl I’m talking about. Yes, that’s me.
I am a former student of San Jose Elementary School. When I was at elementary, I am a kind of lazy student. I enjoyed my childhood very well that I didn’t take seriously my studies. And when I turned to Junior High, I studied at San Jose National High School. That was the timethat I took my studies seriously. I remember that during my second year until fourth year in junior high school, I was one of the top student in our class. And I am proudly to say that I finished my junior high with flying colors. And now, I’m currently studying at San Jose-Litex Senior High School. Taking up an Academic Track with a specialization in Humanities and Social Sciences. I am now at Grade 12. Graduating and hoping to finish my Senior High with honor, just like I did when I was in grade 11.
About myself? Well I am just a simple girl. Dreaming that someday I can finish the course that I want, which is Mass Communication. Because I really want to work on media or behind the camera. I know that I still have a long way to run, and more things I need to learn. That’s why, I’m believing that we must not strive for nothing.
