⊹₊⟡⋆Jealous! Jealous! Jealous! Girl⊹₊⟡⋆

!!tw: none (SLIGHT angst) ((depending on how you look at it :p))

pairing(s): childhood friend!katsuki bakugou + reader

tags: childhood friends! to enemies??? (but its one sided???), JEALOUSLY (bkg), one sided pining (bkg), (BAKUGO IS SO OOC MB!!)

synop.: it was always you, katsuki, and izuku. sometime after it was found out that izuku was the only one out of the three of you to not receive a quirk, katsuki makes you choose between him and izuku.

"c'mon. it's me or him."

"you can't make me choose between the two of you katsuki..." you're small voice responds to the blond-haired boy standing in front of you.

izuku stands behind you, trying to prevent the tears that were currently welling in his eyes from falling down to his cheeks. the small burn mark on his arm making it evident that katsuki had something to do with it.

katsuki stares at you for a few seconds before shifting to issue's shaking form. his eyes meet you again before scoffing.

"fine. then you're both losers."

from that day, it was always you and izuku.

izuku seemed to become a much more quiet and withdrawn person as you both got older. preferring to remain silent at school, likely out of fear. however, it was like night and day when you two were alone.

izuku spoke of his hopes and dreams when you were alone. long since given up the hope that he would spontaneously develop a quirk. instead, he dreamed of something like a supersuit that would sill allow him to be a hero. like the american hero iron-man (like you were supposed to know who that is)

you smiled, listening to one of his rants, wondering how this was the same boy that was terrified to speak in front of the class.

"alright class, quiet down so we can begin class"

with that, the various conversations quieted down and your classmates begin to make their way to their desks, including one of your former best friends, katsuki. he doesn't spare you a sour look as he passes your desk.

katsuki always confused you. you had assumed that what he had said the day you two stopped being friends meant he was going to treat you the same way he treated izuku, but you were wrong.

katsuki was never outwardly mean to you. never an insult, never a cross word, never laying his hands on you. the only thing he ever did was give you dirty looks. the few times he had to interact with you, he was neither nice nor mean. in fact (not obviously to you) the only times he seemed to give you these dirty looks, was when you were with izuku.

katsuki confused you to no end. and it seemed you would never get and answer to your questions about how he felt about you.

you were wrong. you did get answers. not until the three of you made it into u.a. your second day. day one of combat training. you and izuku vs. iida and katsuki.

"don't you get it?! i refuse to lose to deku. especially when it comes to you."

Pt 16

They arrived back home with little issue. Sunny stayed with Buggy, wanting to make sure he was really okay after falling into the water and he took full advantage of that, complaining about water in his ears, that the icky water got into his mouth, and he was upset that he didn't get the chance for Sunny to perform CPR on him, even after she had to remind him she didn't know it at all.

"Not even a thank you kiss." He muttered sulkily as the ship docked. She sighed softly and walked over to him.

"Buggy."

He wouldn't look at her, sulking quietly. "What?"

Rolling her eyes, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for trying to rescue me."

His eyes lit up and he turned to look at her, positively beaming from the gesture. "Really?"

"Yes, silly." She chuckled. "Now let's get off this ship, okay? Make sure you rest once you get back home."

He seemed pleased with that, though he wished for more he didn't want to push his luck. He got up and headed off the ship with Sunny following behind. She hadn't seen Crocodile the entire journey and she didn't bother to go check on him. It was likely she was going to get a stern talking to.

Crocodile was already walking along the docks in the direction of their home. Buggy decided to hang back for just a few extra minutes, making sure his hair looked right, not wanting loose strands to be tempting to be yanked on to throw him back into the ocean by the taller man. Buggy did just spend several hours alone in his room with his wife. No doubt Crocodile would be planning his death by now.

Sunny waited a few minutes as well, not wanting the confrontation that was bound to happen. She felt justified in staying with Buggy. He did jump into the water to save her even if it didn't work out that way. She had to be sure he was okay after all that.

Mihawk was silent as he walked ahead of them. Buggy kept trying to reach for Sunny's hand to hold but she wouldn't let him, shaking her head when he would try. The clown pouted instead. Wasn't he her hero?

Once they stepped off the dock, the swordsman continued on while Sunny and Buggy lingered. He looked put out, keeping his hands in his pockets as he looked down at his feet. He hated this. He wanted her to be with him, not with Crocodile. It wasn't fair.

Sunny looked towards her home before turning back to Buggy. It felt weird to her, like this was some kind of goodbye. It was likely she wasn't going to be able to speak to him again after this. Crocodile would insist on no contact for the two of them. Seeing Buggy miserable was his favorite thing. There wasn't a chance in hell he'd allow Sunny to even say hello to him after this.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Sunny said as she looked back at Buggy. "I'm going to head home."

"Whatever." He mumbled, now refusing to look at her as he pouted. "I wish you would come home with me, y'know, because I love you and would take care of you."

"I know." She sighed. "I know you love me, Buggy."

"Yea? And do you love me back?" He asked, looking back at her.

"I'm married-"

"Yea, I know, you mention it all the time." He shot back. "I wish you could just leave him since you're so miserable. He doesn't deserve you and really, I don't either at this point! I think I'd rather you just not be with anyone even though I want you all for myself!"

Sunny stood there, waiting for him to finish. Once he was done, going on about her needing independence, maybe not having any romantic relationship with anyone would be good for her, but he would still love her even if they couldn't be together, really, she reached out for his hand. Confused, he let her take it, trying to catch his breath from his rant.

"Thank you, Buggy." She chuckled softly. "It's nice that you want that for me and seem to finally understand the situation."

"Okay, but-"

"I wish things were different but it's not."

"But-"

"But, if things were, I'd go on an actual date with you." She told him. "An actual one where we get to know each other."

Buggy's face lit up. "Really?"

"Yes, but we know it can't happen." Sunny smiled as she squeezed his hand. "Now I need to head home, Buggy."

He didn't want her to, he wanted her to go home with him. He tried to hold onto her hand but she pulled away and started for home. Buggy stood there, watching her leave. He wished she wouldn't.

~

Sunny noticed the tension in the air when she walked in. She had to mentally prepare herself for the confrontation that was going to happen and... And she was terrified. While Crocodile kept his word of never hurting her, what's stopping him from going back on that now? She wished Mihawk was there. The swordsman would hopefully have helped her.

She headed to the bedroom first, cautiously peeking in, but he wasn't there. The kitchen was vacant as well so he had to be in his office. She sighed and headed that way, wondering what was awaiting her.

The smell of smoke caught her attention when she was at the door, a scent different from the cigars he favored. She hurried in, not bothering to knock, only to stop when she saw him standing at the desk, watching something burn up on the floor in front of him.

"What the hell?!" She rushed over to put it out but he held his arm out to stop her. What was he burning? It looked like a piece of paper, turning to ash before her eyes before he stomped on the singed remains to smother them. "What was that?"

"As much as I enjoy making the clown suffer, I've come to see that I hate seeing you as unhappy as you've been." He said, making sure the burning ceased before he went to sit down. "When I saw you dancing with that woman last night, I thought that maybe you'd be happy with anyone besides me, not just him."

She frowned as she listened, trying to figure out what he was getting at. She was happy last night; any night she wasn't forced to be by his side she was happy.

"That was our marriage document that burned up." He said.

"I don't-"

"I'm letting you go."

Sunny stared up at him in confusion. What did he mean by that? Was he being serious or was this some kind of sick joke?

"I thought the clown was just being a fool to irritate me, but seeing what he did today showed me that he does care about you in some way." He went around to the other side of his desk to sit while Sunny looked back at the little bits of paper on the floor. "He didn't hesitate, unlike myself."

Sunny kept quiet, absorbing his words. There was a moment of silence as his words replayed in her mind, that he was letting her go, but there was no way he would do it that easily.

"So... What does this actually mean?" She finally asked. "Are we no longer married then? I... I can just leave and I'll be okay and my family will be safe?"

"Our marriage is over, you're free to do what you wish." He told her as he leaned back in his chair. "Stay here with that clown, leave completely the island, it's up to you. I won't keep you any longer."

She stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out any catch to this, but it sounded straight forward. He was no longer going to keep her married to him. Nodding slowly, she turned and headed the door.

"Sunny." He called out to her.

There it is, there had to be something. She turned around and sighed. He grinned at her as he lit up a new cigar. "You were a good wife."

"... Thanks." She frowned. "You were a good husband, kept me fed and clothed. Thank you for letting me leave."

She didn't want to linger, exchange more pleasantries, so she turned and hurried out. She could go to her room, collect some things, but what was there to take? She opted to change clothes, however, favoring her duck printed shirt and overalls instead, something comfortable to wear.

What should she do? Go to Buggy first, perhaps? Would he want to see her or would he have given up already? It... It didn't seem likely. He did risk his life to save her.

Once she was dressed, she hurried out, making her way to his tent. She decided she wanted to see him immediately. Now was her chance.

When she entered the tent, he was inside, talking with some of his men while Richie lounged nearby. He didn't notice her at first, the lion however did and the large cat didn't hesitate in leaping up, knocking Buggy aside to greet her.

Buggy stumbled forward, ready to yell at the lion, but stopped when he saw Sunny. She was petting Richie, happily greeting him like the overgrown kitten he was. When she saw Buggy, she smiled brightly at him.

"Buggy! Do you want to go on a date with me?"

-♡- ... ...

"Take the kids to safety" "And anyone else?" "No traces, burn them all."

... ... -♡-

The sun wrapped around her skin as she woke groggily. Limbs tangled in the sheets as she grabbed her body stretched, leaving her tossing trying to regain a glimpse of her sleep. Reluctantly she opened her eyes, harsh sunlight beaming at her as sat up, the noise of the outside world tumbling through the cracked glass of her window. Slowly she got herself ready for the day, swaying to the sound of the music that played through her busted headphones, on bud silent as she worked. She smiled at her own reflection before heading into the small room they called a living room. She cringed at the smell of burnt leather, nose crinkling as the scent filled the room. "Oi, Touya. Get up." she sighed poking the man in her living room, passed out, thick heavy jacket hanging loosely on his arm as he lay spread out on their couch. He grumbled swatting her hand away as he turned away from her. Back facing her as he buried himself between the cushions as she opened the blinds. Sun showing no mercy as it soaked into ever crevice it could reach, leaving the older man hissing to himself as he sat up. Messy white hair covering his tried eyes as cursed at her for waking him. She only brushed it off as she grabbed whatever they had in the fridge, taking a seat as she ate. The man looked her up and down. Taking in her unusual attire. She looked more like the rest of the shits in the world, more put together he supposed. "Why're you dressed like that?" She looked up confused for a moment as he cruised into the kitchen, grabbing a chilled drink and whatever junk he dug up to eat as he sat across from her. "Like that?" He looked her over once again. Mouth full as he spoke. "Like that" She rolled her eyes grabbing her plate, voice calm as she cleaned her mess careful not to stain herself. "I don't know what your talking about" He watched amused as he flung his feet up on your chair leaning back as he yawned, only to fall back with a thud. Her head snapped back to the table, hand thrown over her mouth in an attempt to stifle the bursting laughter that filled the room. He groaned, pushing himself off the floor as he kicked the chair, standing to his full height as he brushed his coat. Lips pulled in a scowl as he grumbled. "Yea yea laugh it up, but seriously. Whats with the get up?" he echoed his previous question, eyebrow raised curiously, his gaze softening just abit. She smiled as she smoothed out her uniform, pride beaming from her skin as she spoke. "Im trying out for the UA today" He nearly fell back again. His eyes widened as his sister explained that the school had put out another try out for a spare positions in one of the hero course's. It took him a moment to speak, weighing the thought heavily. "Why?" She turned confused to see him, hand on his chin as he looked deep in contemplation. "What?" "I asked why? I mean like c'mon, you really wanna be a hero like all those other kids?" He looked down at her, head tilted as if he couldn't possibly fathom any of her reasoning's. "And plus there's gotta be hundreds of kids lining up, why even bother?" She opened her mouth and suddenly all her previous reasons slipped from her mind. She shut her mouth as she contemplated, silence filling the space between them. Touya shook his head dismissively as he waved his hand in the air, turning his attention on his phone now. "See? Told ya. Now go get changed I'm sure you can still re-apply for whatever school is near by-" 

"Because I've decided to take a chance." 

Now his turn to take on confusion he turned his eyes back to her, who was now staring directly at him. E/C eye's meeting cyan. Something in the room shifted. He hardened his gaze she didn't back down, that same spark flickering confidently again. She mimicked his own thinking process, eyebrows knitt loosely as she focused, answer thought out word for word. "You asked why I want to be a hero right? Well I answered. Because I want to take my chances." "And if you fail?" The question stung abit more than she had wished it too. Because in reality she may fail, she could end up walking home with her tail between her legs. She took a steady breath eye's still trained on his. "That's part of taking risk's isn't it?" She said, smile returning sheepishly as she awaited his answer. "You got one day kid, make it count." And with that she leaped from her spot rushing to grab her things frantically as she thanked her brother, thank you's spewing from her lips as she ran out the door. "Won't let ya down!" Touya pinched his between his eyes, sighing in frustration despite the small smile he tried to swallow. -♡-

Sorry its so short, if this does well and ppl want a part too Ill be making it a series :)

[kirarinlovesidols]

Yes I did say i wouldn't write again and i stand by that but i'm brainrotting and i promise you this will truly be the last time(copium).

Basically this is just some headcannons of how normal mornings in their domestic life with you is like! But as parents ofc. I added some extra characters since we got some more ppl and also cause i realized I forgot Scaramouche in my last post 💀

As always terribly fucking sorry for my bad and cringy writing or any bad grammar or OOC.

Afab reader btw and i might use terms like "mother, mom" etc but no pronouns defined.

Also this was supposed to be mornings but it turned into general headcanons too and tbh never expect me to be consistent, i have ADHD.

Mornings with genshin men as fathers, part 1.

Mondstadt.

Diluc

‌For starters he barely even SLEEPS.

‌More often than not he's busy taking care of the tavern, inside his office or doing his darknight hero business.

‌You has a lengthy conversation with him about it so nowadays he's more likely to value his life and won't fight carelessly, he has children to raise and a partner after all.

‌Anyways it's hard for him to sleep more than 4 maybe 3 hours and can't rlly spend much time with you or your children but istg he's trying.

‌In some rare occasions you'll wake up to his sleeping face. Scarlet hair delicately framing his face, freed of it's usual ponytail. Truly an ethereal sight.

‌Is also the type to wake up his kids by sitting on their bed, patting their head and softly calling their names. Saying it's already morning and that Adelinde made pancakes.

‌You people have no idea how much Diluc appreciates the period of life where his kids are still small, cute and need him.

‌If asked he will deny it but the way he has your daughter cradled in his arms, head resting against his shoulder, napping after eating gives him out.

‌You just watch the sweet scene, cradling your son as he got sleepy right after eating his fill like his sister.

Kaeya

‌Has the weirdest fucking habit of sleeping on the couch cause he's either too tired or too lazy to go to bed so it's very common to wake up to an empty bed, walk to the living room and seeing your husband laying there looking like a dead man.

‌You already have got into fights with him for it and he still doesn't fix it.

‌You worry about his back and his neck since this seriously causes pain to spread all over his body.

‌Kaeya doesn't complain about it though, he's sorry for worrying you, he swears. However the changing point was him waking up to his daughter giving him her pillow, trying to move his head with her little hands in a way that wouldn't wake him up(she obviously failed).

‌He considers himself a lame dad now for making his baby worry about him so he actually sleeps on your bed now.

‌Is also usually in charge of breakfast! The cavalry captain refuses to let you do any work when he's home. It's his way of letting you rest and thanking you for all you do.

‌ Turns chores into fun little games! He wants your daughter to learn how important house keeping skills are for the future. Even if it does hurt him to imagine her leaving it's his duty as a parent to teach her.

Albedo

‌Another bitch who barely sleeps. Either spends the entire night in his lab doing experiments or he's revising Sucrose and Timaeus's projects.

‌You try your hardest to stay up and wait for him to come to bed but god. Being a mother can be really tiring sometimes, so more often than not you're sleeping away by the time he ACTUALLY enters the room.

‌As weird as it sounds your son is usually the one who has to remind Albedo to sleep, even if he doesn't need it much or at all.

‌The boy is quiet and in the rare moments he feels like speaking his tone is very soft and easy to miss if you don't pay attention. His steps are just as silent.

‌The alchemist is so absorbed in his job that he fails to realize the little presence in his lab.

Small hands make their way to the hem of his pants and perform gentle tugs. Albedo only sighed, he already knew who it was.

"Shouldn't you be asleep, Ruby?"

He turned around only to see bright eyes staring back at his own. His son's eyes reminded him so much of you, he thought it was adorable.

"Sleep."

That was all the little boy said. And it was just enough for his father to understand it's meaning.

"Alright, alright. Sorry for worrying you and mommy."

A smile made way to his lips as the man picked his baby up. Immediately he could feel the toddler's head resting on his shoulder, a sign of trust and comfort.

"But let's go to bed ok? being up late isn't good for you."

‌Albedo is the master of making food look like art, this man doesn't need to be extra but he wants to be.

‌When he makes pancakes he likes to craft intricate shapes. You seriously feel bad for eating something so pretty.

Bennet

‌Wakes up early to make breakfast!!

‌With Benny it's a bit of a hit or miss situation cause of his bad luck. Either you wake up to the smell of burnt eggs(in worse cases your entire fucking kitchen) or slightly charred but still delicious toast.

‌Likes to keep himself active and has a morning workout routine. He won't force or even ask you or your daughter to join but you do anyway, his smile when you two choose to spend time with him is seriously priceless.

‌He still has a hard time believing he has a partner and a kid who love him for who he is, bad luck and everything so he becomes emotional really easily and kinda clingy too.

‌Your baby doesn't mind it, in fact she loves it! It's very common to see them cuddling during nap time.

Venti

‌He might drink less often now that he's a father but it doesn't mean that you don't have to deal with drunk clingy Venti coming home at the asscrack of dawn after an entire night of partying away at Dawn winery every now and then.

‌You don't particularly mind since he does need some space too. He settled down with you(which was a fucking miracle) cause he loves you and your son to death, never doubt that. However...the bard may feel suffocated sometimes.

‌Usually wakes up at either 7Am or 1pm there's no in between.

‌If your baby takes interest in music you can bet your husband is going to flex his bard™ skills.

‌So many duets, you're so proud.

Razor

‌Wakes up with the sun, can't sleep more even if he wanted to. After years of following his pack's routine, it's ingrained on him.

‌Doesn't wake you or the kids up though, his protective nature makes him want all of you to sleep as long as you can.

‌So you usually wake up with the smell of breakfast or the twins literally jumping on your bed so you'll get up.

‌Takes the boys with him during morning patrols around your house's area. His habit of checking to see if anyone got lost or hurt in the woods never actually changed.

‌Andrius is not amused to have kids trying to climb him or pulling his fur but doesn't mind it, they're his grandkids anyway.

[faroreswinds]

Hi, I know you're interested in Tears of the Kingdom right now, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind hearing my take on Hopes and answering a few of my questions. I bought Hopes during the christmas sale, and have now completed all routes 3 times.

First of all, for GW it's a real disaster indeed.

As for AG, it was very good in part 1, but I find it performance decreased in part 2 after completing the basis of the story in part 1.

As for SB, everyone says it fixed all of Edelgard's problems, but I don't see that. Hopes has improved some of her causes of war, but the world-building still contradicts her claims, she is still a contradictory character, and still all characters do not contradict her or question her actions. To be honest, Edelgard in Houses was just a plot device, she is responsible for bandits in prologue, the unrest in part 1, starting a war in part 2, and even in Dimitri's story. Just all her problems lay in not fully revealing her background and having characters question her about the reason for her actions. In Hopes, instead of fixing her problems, they decide to destroy Claude's character and make him a clone of her, throwing Rhea away and turning her into a punching bag. Even Dimitri was at many moments contradictory or OOC for her in AG part 2, in Zahras, and in GW for her clone. In the end I find that Hopes kills off any chance for Fodlan to have a golden route due to confirming that conquest is an essential part of Edelgard's character. If Intsys is considering awarding Fodlan a golden route, they should make Edelgard an OOC.

As for Shez, everyone also says they're better than Byleth and have personality, but Shez just proves that even if they were a full-voiced protagonist, it didn't change that they were poorly written. They cannot be considered to have a personality if their writings have contradictory features, since in their support with Lysithea it contradictory in being frank and direct. Not to mention their revenge story, which made me feel like Shez is just a drama queen, but no, they're just poorly written. I simply feel that Shez is a character who has no role or meaning in a story. Shez was throughout the story just a camera for the player's perspective, they had no foundation in story or lore. Ironically, Byleth excels at these points, where they have a solid foundation, while Shez's sole foundation is to be a foil to Byleth. However, people still say they are way better than Byleth, which makes me wonder how much western fans hate silent protagonist, and then I wouldn't be surprised if Shez became a hated character in Japan because of westerns like Gatekeeper.

Then we have Arval. Even knowing the devs' desire not to reveal too much about Sothis and the Nabateans, did they really have to cram a character like that into lore. Despite Sothis being just a plot device in Houses, Arval is much worse (even Sothis is even worse at Hopes than Houses). Why does he make us sympathize with cartoon villains? Why does no one from Slither recognize him, although we later learn that Thales was knew him, but the only person he knew was a character whose name I don't even remember. We see him during the War of the Heroes where he supposedly fulfilled his burning desire to kill Sothis, yet he still wanted to kill her even before she awakens inside Byleth. Speaking of the rest of the Nabateans, why doesn't he recognize them even though he fought them face to face in the past. Arval's problem is just like Shez, he should be a foil to Sothis because Shez should be a foil to Byleth in every way, since his character is a copy paste of Sothis (I don't know if he speaks in a special way like her is in jp).

I also have a lot to say about devs, so excuse me.

First with Kusakihara and the writers, even though they were the creators of Houses, just made the same mistakes as Neil Druckmann, demolishing what they built thinking they were introducing interesting ideas that fans would like, without sitting back and thinking about how it would affect a previous game.

Then I have Hayashi, this guy with the worst ideas, deciding to replace Byleth because they were the only one who didn't do anything wrong, in a game that wasn't even morally gray, only to end up writing a character who didn't do anything wrong either. Edelgard is bleached, and makes Claude wrong for taking advantage of his imperial allies, but he made no mistake in his invasion of the kingdom and his killing of Rhea. Hell, even Count Gloucester was bleached.

In one of the interviews Eng: "We decided to put Byleth in a third person perspective in order to delve deeper into their character." Delve deeper into marginalized character who only have 2 support. In an interview with Jp: (Convey my thanks to renisfan for translating) "Hopes intended the scenario to be 'what if the house leaders didn't meet Byleth'", but the answer is the route that Byleth didn't choose. "We don't want to nullify the endings of Byleth, so we have to make Yuri give his mother's precious ring just in exchange for a whistle".

They also said in one of the interviews that the development team wanted to complete what they couldn't complete in Houses, but should they have demolished what they built? Couldn't they have thought of a story that takes place between the events of Houses, like Cindered Shadows or Thracia 776? Why did they have to replace the protagonist? Didn't they think fans would hate it and feel the irony? I also don't want Byleth to be the central character of the whole thing, and it's nice to see the characters develop without them, but did they really have to replace them? Because it made me feel that what should have been a sequel to Houses couldn't be considered one because of that difference.

As much as I hated the decision to replace Byleth, I have to admit that there are some positives from it, such as changing your and other people's opinion of them, and realizing that they weren't the cause of all the Houses problems. Or maybe you'd think of them worse if they were still a protagonist in awful Hopes story.

It's clear that the KT devs' goal of Hopes is to make more money, as they admit that they were originally planning a sequel to the first FE Warriors, but changed their minds when seeing the success of Houses. They took the opinion of western fans over japanese fans, because sales were higher in north america. But what I didn't understand, is that if KT sales are only in Japan, while overseas sales are by Nintendo, does KT really depend on what sales Nintendo will have? Or profit sharing? I ask because I have no experience in this field.

Well, sorry for the inconvenience, especially if you were sick of Hopes discourse. I got emotional and my talking got out of control, but Hopes really made my blood run hot. I'm lucky to buy it on sale, otherwise I would have regretted spending my money. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

It is not an inconvenience, anon. Sometimes you just need a place to vent. Someone to hear you. I totally get it. Don't apologize for the ask.

On your points

First of all, for GW it's a real disaster indeed.

Absolutely. I don't understand how anyone can call it good. Even if you like Claude's character (which you are allowed to like this version), narratively none of it makes any sense when you sit down and think about it for two seconds.

As for AG, it was very good in part 1, but I find it performance decreased in part 2 after completing the basis of the story in part 1.

I can agree. Part 1 is great. Part 2 is better than GW part 2, but taking Edelgard away as the threat did a disservice to both her and Dimitri's stories. Since the war is framed as a righteous and just action by the game, the only way they could effectively make Edelgard come out of Dimitri's route not looking like the villain was to remove her agency and make the Empire literally monsters. I mean, even worse than usual. Burning their own people type of thing. And hearing the characters beat themselves over "invading another nation" over and over again starts to get grating.

As for SB, everyone says it fixed all of Edelgard's problems, but I don't see that.

Well, they kind of do. What they effectively did was take away a lot of the bloat.

Edelgard's character in Houses was a mess. Her justifications and her logical thinking was less like a straight line and more like that conspiracy board you see from Charlie Day.

For instance, explaining why she has such a focus on Crests. She hates them, because she believes they give nobility their status. And she hates nobles because she feels that only those who are best for the role should be chosen for power. She feels this way because she got a second Crest due to nobility greed and manipulation of the Empire royalty. Which led her to hating the Church, etc etc.

It's bloated and confusing. If she hates Crests because they make nobles, then what about Crestless nobles? What about their power? Etc etc.

What Hopes did is effectively streamline this. Edelgard in Hopes focuses more on bloodlines. She still talks about Crests somewhat, but it makes more sense. Crests prove a bloodline, and it is bloodlines she hates.

Furthermore, her chapter 3 plan is honestly pretty good all things considered. Her plans in Houses are convoluted and make no sense. Here, I can understand what she is doing and why. Drive out the Slithers and the corrupted nobles. Boom, easy. Gather her forces, then invade the Church. Easy. Logical.

But this improved writing doesn't make her any more right in her war. If anything, I felt it made her even more wrong than ever. At least in Houses you can justify that maybe, just maybe, she has someone watching her every move or whatever. And that she cannot trust anyone with her plans because she cannot know if they are a Slither.

This is no longer viable in Hopes. She drives out the Slithers. She is firmly in charge. Her war is her own. And her not being able to trust others? Well, she trusted Claude well enough. How does she know if Claude isn't a Slither? Hm? She never even questions it.

And her war is still one of conquest, which is made even more clear. In Houses, it's easier to argue that it's one of liberation (I don't believe it is at all, but with how the writing of the game is it is easy to find ways to make that justification). Hopes removes that as well. It's absolutely one of conquest. No question.

It's just the game frames this conquest as good.

As for Shez, everyone also says they're better than Byleth and have personality, but Shez just proves that even if they were a full-voiced protagonist, it didn't change that they were poorly written.

I've said this before, but Shez is just as bland as Byleth, just with a voice. They are plain, shounen protagonists. Written moment by moment, and not as a real person. In one scene, they will be horrified by bloodshed. In another, they will relish in it and itch for a fight. It's whatever sounds good in the scene, and not about consistency.

And you are right, they basically have no role in the story. They are just there. Their interesting backstory they talk about a lot? Nah, we will never explore that. It's just noise.

Then we have Arval. Even knowing the devs' desire not to reveal too much about Sothis and the Nabateans, did they really have to cram a character like that into lore.

Arval is a mess. He is treated as a foil to Sothis. Like, you are led to believe that he is somehow some ancient god with a feud with the goddess Sothis.

But no. He's just some ancient office worker with a grudge who figured out how to do a soul transfer.

They wanted this large mystery box, but never opened the contents. It's like the more interesting story is in the background but we are forced to do the boring war story instead.

I also have a lot to say about devs, so excuse me.

I won't say too much on this myself, because what else can I say that I haven't already? Honestly, I think they just missed the mark. In so many ways. It's no wonder the game was not well received.

Which is a shame because I did enjoy seeing my favorite characters again, and seeing more character building between them. That is the value I got out of Hopes. Mmmmm, Dimidue content.

But yeah. This was basically a cash grab for a successful FE game, by someone who wanted to make a Three Kingdom's story when honestly Houses was never a successful Three Kingdom's story to begin with. That's why Claude and Dimitri insist they start a war with the Empire, when honestly it was Edelgard that pushed them into a corner. "Surrender or get conquered" is not really much of a choice.

Edelgard forged the hammer but Dimitri and Claude speak as if they were the ones who poured its metal.

LUNA SENT ...

      *Listens to Jin saying that he bets she would like him even more if he was a bunny. Gets quiet and thinks: Ah... come to think of it... What type of bunny would he be if 仁さん (English translation: Mr. Jin) was a bunny... ? He would be a black furred bunny... But... what about his breed? Hmm... Since he is so tall and strong... I think he could be a black Flemish Giant bunny... Flemish Giant bunnies are known to be calm; patient; and gentle... just like him...*

     *Realizes that she was daydreaming and stops imagining. Gets a bit embarrassed then apologizes in flustered way.*

     Ah! すみません! (English translation: My apologies!) I should not have spaced out! I... I began to imagine - what you would look like if you were a bunny...

     *Tries to calm down and admits in a bashful way.*

     I... I cannot argue with your statement that I would like you even more if you were a bunny... I am sorry that my admission offends you... (Luna) 🐰

He doesn't know why she went silent. But Jin just lets her, & doesn't even mention it. He now just stands there, awkwardly, as though he's a video game NPC awaiting action.

"Oh," he speaks after she does. "It's okay," like her - he sounds a bit out of it. Perhaps he is. After all, there's always someone talking in his head. Therefore, even when someone else spaces out, another person will initiate a conversation with him.

"'I'm not offended. I'd like me more if I were a bunny, too.

3rd pov

You yawn when you look at the time and notice its already night, you turn on your nightlight and then turn off the normal light, you set the televisions sound lower and get in bed

As you close your eyes you feel your phone vibrate next to your head, you grab it and turn it on silent before replying to izuku's goodnight text "nightnight my favorite greenette!" to the class groupchat

You put your phone down again and turn around in bed, your face facing the wall knees pulled up a little and hand resting between your thighs, stuffed animal cuddled into your arm and pulled to your chest

~dream pov~

You wake up and look around only to notice a banana on the floor, you frown and go to put it in the mini fridge in your room, when you walk past the second bed in your room you notice another banana laying on the bed

You put the other banana next to the other and go to your bed you sit on your knees legs slightly spread, you look confused at the bed before you see the banana is thrown "i-is someome th-there?" you ask

You barely finish the question and a gorgeous dark skinned woman in a red jumpsuit is in front of you "hey baby, thank you for inviting me" she beams before her hand goes between your thighs "may i?" she asks making you nod

She smirks and her hand slides into your panties, she softly rubs circles on your clit leaving you wanting more, you let out a few mewls before she decides to give you more, she slides two fingers inside of you, her hands go to your chest and she pushes you to lay down, she still continues moving her fingers in and out of you and softly kisses you "you gonna cum for mommy? Come on cum for mommy"

Knock knock

You look at the back door of your room before the knocking gets louder

~awake pov~

You blink a few times before looking at what you have on, you quickly grab your robes and put it on, you open the door to your room and in walks a really tall guy, you sputter out questions but he ignores you

He walks to your desk and takes a few things and walks back out of your room "I JUST GOT ROBBED?!?" you yell out into the hallway still looking at the tall man walking away, a door slams open

Its iida! He looks at you before he speeds over to you and lifts you bridal style before he dashes after the person who just robbed you "you are lucky its seven am and that bakugo is working out at that time, otherwise he wouldve been really angry at you" iida scolds

You sheepishly smile at him "im sorry, i just woke up to knocking and- thats him!" you say while pointing to the man now standing with pro heros endeavor and hawks

"y/l/n thats pro hero gang orca, why would be rob you" he asks with hand chops after putting you down, "i dont know iida-san, he just barged into my room" you say making him nod suspiciously before he walks back into the UA building

Gang orca notices you standing there and storms over, the other two pro heros quickly following "where did you get this, you villain" he accuses while holding up a necklace you have never seen

"i-i dont know i have never seen that" you stutter out, he scoffs "it was on your desk so what it just magically appeared?" he demands, you shrink back slightly before feeling a cold hand on the small of your back

"y/l/n is this man bothering you?" you hear the monotone voice of shoto todoroki speak up "son, step away from the villain" endeavor demands shoto but the latter just rolls his eyes

"y/l/n is not a villain, she isnt made for seeing blood, she also could never harm anyone, she apologizes for five minutes when she accidentally bumps into someone, stop accusing her of things she didn't do" shoto sneers, his hand goes from the small of your back to the plush of your tummy and pulls you into his side

"y/l/n did you have a weird dream earlier?" hawks asks making you nod quickly, the smaller hero turns to the two large heros "shes back" he concludes making the others nod

"y/l/n, im gonna need to bring you to my agency and i need to ask you some questions, i also want to apologize for calling you a villain" gang orca says

Shoto glares at the pro hero before he stands infront of me making me look at him "you okay with that y/l/n?" you nod "also i told you to call me y/n" you say softly making him give one of his rare smiles "be careful y/n, you want me to come with you and wait outside?" he asks

"i-if its not a burden yes please" you say making him ruffle your hair softly "lets go then y/n" he says, his arm goes around your waist pulling you into him again and he starts following gang orca

You pull out your phone and see the class A groupchat blew up "hey guys im fine :)!! Just a misunderstanding.. im hoping! going to gang orca's agency, lets hope rumi🐰 isnt gonna be there because she will tear him a new one for bothering her favorite intern, also thank you iida for helping me! <3"

You are quick to get a text from bakugo "so what, you and iida? You couldve fucking called me to help you" he texts making you frown you go to reply but he sends another text "ill fucking be there too, dont want you there alone, fucking extra"

Shoto pulls out his phone aswell and texts the group "y/n and me will be getting to the bottom of this, im thinking she was the victim to a villain but i have no idea how they got into UA" he texts before sending "🤔" right after

Bakugo scoffs after reading that text and blasts a punching bag across the gym and he storms out, making his way back to his dorm so he can shower and change before going to gang orca's agency

When you reach gang orca's office shoto grabs your hand and kisses it "ill be right outside, you need anything you come get me" he says making you nod before walking into the office

Gang orca closes the door behind you before he pulls out a chair for you, when you sit down he walks over to his giant office chair and sits down

"im going to need you to tell me everything about the dream" he says getting straight to business, you're eyes widen and you look away flustered "it was.. Kinda.. Yknow" you say using hand movements, he frowns "y/l/n, i need every detail" he says

You start quickly speaking telling everything that happened in the dream, speeding up at the nsfw part, he nods "i am going to need to do what she did to you, y/n, this villain works in a weird way, one time she slept with someone in their dreams and.. Well she hid something inside of them, we need to make sure she didnt do that with you too"

You stand up before dashing out of the office, you find a wall and softly bash your head into it, bakugo, who has now joined todoroki, frowns and jumps up, his hand going on the wall so you bash your head into his hand instead

"fuck is wrong with you" he demands making you shake your head, you turn and burry your head into his chest making a blush appear on his cheeks, shoto walks up behind you "y/n whats wrong?"

You sputter out what happened and shoto frowns "we uh, bakugo and me we could, do that instead of gang orca if that would make you more comfortable" he offers, his cheeks bright red

You nod into bakugo's chest "yes please"

Bakugo softly lifts you bridal style as shoto storms into the office, holding open the door for you and katsuki before they both sit down

"you will not be touching OUR girl, we shall do that" katsuki sneers "you're girl?" you softly ask making him send a look that says "dont question me"

"i will have to watch to see if you guys arent just gonna use this as an excuse to have coitus with the lovely lady" gang orca says making shoto nod "we understand sir, but she will not be naked in front of your eyes, that view is only for bakugo and me"

"i will give you guys a moment to get ready then" gang orca says with a wink to you and walks out of his office

"sinc-since when am i yours" you ask flustered making both boys smirk "since the second we laid eyes on you, remember when we fought all the time? It was because we didnt want the other to have you, but we can share if thats okay with you, snowflake" shoto says making you nod

Katsuki pecks you're forehead "i dont like that hes gonna be watching, fucking creep" he sneers out "ill blast him into next eternity if he even tries to touch you"

You bite your lip and dont look at either of the men infront of you, shoto frowns and grabs your chin and makes you look at him "whats wrong?" he asks

"i.. Im nervous" you confess "i have never actually-" you say trailing off, shoto coos softly "aw, my little snowflake"

Bakugo tsks "course you havent, you where saving yourself for us werent you? What a good girl" he says while also getting closer to you

The door slams open and gang orca walks in again "ready to preform the test?" he asks, you nod making the guys nod aswell

Month 5 …..

Happiness and Joy… their all complicated feelings but …

Y/n sat silently as Marc lectured her about her sense of safety and recklessness , the conversation itself wasn’t uncommon. This very conversation had gotten her here in the first place, well …it had been the line of conversation that led her here.

The same cult that had tried breaking in a few weeks ago , had tried once again .

She knew why the cult was hunting her , and refused to share . She refused to let it happen . So …today she sat silently staring at nothing in particular listening to Marc’s rant that only served to remind her of her faults and failures .

And to think that all of this started because she’d wanted some freedom ….because she craved a life away from her past and to start a new beginning somewhere she’d always read about .

London was located inbetween all her childhood books , she’d loved reading of Heracles, Achilles and Hector the Trojan hero . All of those heroes had inspired her to move a bit closer to all their history , and the ability to visit Cairo and visit the Pyramids and learn the culture ….as a Mexican-American these things were wonders she’d only heard about but had never fandomed having the ability to do because she’d never met anyone that had …. It was expensive and often times was cheaper and more convenient to visit Mexico , Canada , Cuba or somewhere in the States .

But she’s deviating , Today she’d had a small amount of freedom to go to the quick check up and grab lunch before meeting Marc and possibly Layla for a consult on their latest mission . When she actually took a break enjoy the park after a doctor appointment . ….and it was all fine until her attention focused on the small ducks that waddled around wondering if it was true . If she’d actually waddle around like one soon, not being aware of the waters reflection and nearly being captured .

The cult leader- a priest of Coyolxāuhqui , sat beside her nonchalantly explained that she was of a special bloodline that was born of her deity which made her much more powerful than other avatars… Something she’d known already .But they explained He were going to sacrifice her to his goddess on the altar of god knows what . She'd snapped when a dagger was held against her belly , they'd threatened her unborn child , and blacked out honestly. And was unable to remember what happened , when she woke up she’d promptly ran and called Jake for help in the safety of a store .

However Marc had appeared and was currently lecturing her , about self-preservation. She blinked numbly as her chest tightened impossibly , tears pricking at her eyes. The Adrenaline rush was dissipating and with it her mask . Pregnancy hormones didn’t mix well with death threats from a cult .

Her will to not cry cracked a smidge more as Marc flipped , she had no idea why . He still refused to acknowledge or address the subject , however here he was lecturing her about her own safety and the babies safety. Which was unusual especially because he didn’t speak about the baby . The baby was Jake’s or Steven’s , the irony struck her each time he said it but she only ignored it . Jake and Steven were excited and attended most of the appointments when they were able, and seemed content . However Marc seemed more distant than ever . Which led her to her current predicament.

She glared at his face and searched his eyes . Her expression hopefully projected her own thoughts . The distress , panic and fear she felt ,"I Fucking know Spector ! My baby's my fucking top priority !" Marc snorted , she let go of his face "And you ? What's a baby supposed to do without you ?! You're not seriously more worried about a baby ! I get it but , aren't you more important !?" She looked him in the eyes "I'm not. my baby's top priority . Steven or Jake can help the baby or my parents can take care of the baby !" she said growled “I’m glad a baby is more important than your own fucking life ! You can’t seriously leave a baby with Steven or Jake ! Thats fucking selfish ! I don't think that’s very productive or healthy either !” he snarled back “Well then my Dad can have the fucking baby since it bother you so much ! And should anything happen to me , the baby will go to my fucking family ! And they can decide what fucking happens, spector !! And don’t act like you fucking care ! You can’t even acknowledge our baby ! You keep saying it’s Jake or Steven’s baby ! I didn’t f*ck Jake or Steven last time we talked about this shit !” she snarled back , the look on his face paused briefly before shifting from Anger to panic momentarily and then to blankness .

…. Before an expression of pure confusion …. "You alright , darlin' ?" She couldn't explain it . But this was the first time the appearance of Steven angered her, because Marc was a coward ….no he was overwhelmed. 'And you are being a bitch !' Inhaling and counting she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before sighing "Yeah , why ?" He opened his mouth briefly before shutting it and mulling over his word . Then shaking his head "No reason , love . We headin' I just don't know how to drive, " she hummed “It’s alright , we’re a block away . We can walk, “ she said softly .

Month 5 1/2

She sat silently in the annoyingly cold and uncomfortable stir-ups , her attention on anything but the person beside her who decided she wasn’t able to go alone anywhere anymore . The doctor was running late , she’d come in to check up on the baby since she had a few concerning cramps and spotting . Miscarriage and pregnancy complications were common in her family medical history . The nurse had reassured her that it wasn’t uncommon but , she decided to check on her little bean instead of waiting it out and it being an issue later on .

Steven and Jake were even on the appointments they’d attended and decided to let Marc have a shot at it . To say she was on edge was kind or putting it lightly . So Marc was only stressing her out more , reading off a few symptoms of very serious and potentially dangerous diseases and Illnesses , which only caused the pit in her belly to grow . So she’d snapped at him to shut up , which in hindsight hadn’t been the best but she was picking at her fingers and had caused a small bleed . But he shut up and read them silently , but was now humming along to 'Here we go again' by Whitesnake that was an ear-worm to her . So she glared silently which encouraged him to rebelliously hum a few words , while smirking deviously her way . It lead to a full on staring contest .

The doctor's knocking distrubed their staring contest before she turned to the doctor who hummed along to the song briefly before typing away on her computer . Marc quirked a brow at this “Good Afternoon , you're here for a check-up ?” she nodded "Yup" she added awkwardly as the doctor hummed …a new doctor she might add . One that she’d never seen before as the doctor booted up the ultrasound machine before lubing up the wand and asking her to reveal her belly . Her belly was a bit on the larger side now according to the doctor , the baby was growing normally but they had no explanation as to why her belly was so large “Mum , remember your eating for 2 but not 3 “ the doctor said in a sardonic tone , the comment made her pause briefly before shrugging , comments were always made about her figure pregnant or not . “Actually , I'm here to check on the baby . I’ve had cramps and my hips ache really bad . I also have some bleeding “ she explained before the doctor scoffed “I’m not surprised , at 105 kilos …..Perhaps a gym is needed ?” Her Usual doctor had mentioned avoiding the gym , especially with her pain tolerance. It was concerning should she tweak or hurt herself , she might not feel it . So she was forbidden , and she’d gained a normal amount . Having been at 90 kilos , she paused briefly before Marc interrupted …or Jake maybe ? She wasn't entirely sure , focusing instead on her response .

“Excuse me, but that’s a bit out of line isn’t it ?” the woman rolled her eyes “Is it ? Who are you ?! “ Whoever it was seemed annoyed "The father ! " the doctor rolled her eyes "Small amounts of bleeding are normal" the doctor grumbled "Not like this . I want to see my doctor please ! I'm concerned" The doctor was annoyed before her doctor walked on silently "Excuse me ! but you seem to have the wrong room , Ms. Shigaraki ! Being rude to a patient and brushing off concerns ! If you knew the patient you'd know that her threshold of pain is high . She's also very fit and normally is at 80-90 kilos" Before the other lady left embarrassed .

Her doctor sat down annoyed , shaking her head . "I'm sorry dear " she nodded "I just wanna know how my baby is and if everything's alright" the older lady smiled softly “Alright , let us see ! “ she said softly before dragging the probe across her belly . “Do you know the gender ? Do you want to hear their heartbeat ?” she smiled and nodded softly, seeing and hearing the baby's heartbeat “Any names for him ?” she smirked at the small screen that showed the growing baby axolotl and heard his little heartbeat “I’ve been thinking on it , and i think i have one “ she forgot Marc was there until she felt his hand grab her tightly “A boy ?” the doctor hummed showing the clear evidence “Sure is , he isn’t at all shy either . What name were you thinking mama ?” she chuckled softly “I was thinking about Hector “ the doctor chuckled adding it to the ultrasound before as she continued to scan frowning explaining that the baby was fine but , due to high stress her body was trying to deliver early on .

However at 5 ½ months the baby wasn't developed much but should it happen technology could step in . But she was on bed-rest until further notice ....

6 months

Marc was a bit more involved and laid with her when he could in her room with Achi . Jake was trying to convince her to get a house , which she didn't object to . But was hesitant to do so , because she owned a house . It was just back in the states , it was a nice house but it was in California. Which might disturb the boys as it'd uproot them , she explained that she didn't have the money to help as most of her income depended on her work . And she wasn't allowed to do much now , both Jake and Steven brushed it off with "We've got it handled , darlin' "'s or "Ya mi estas haciendo mi hijo , mi familia . Deja me garar te una casa para nosotros , Mamacita!" (You're already making my son ! Let me get you a house for us , doll !!).

So she only blinked, overwhelmed by pregnancy and emotions. And stubbornly brushed the conversation off . However Marc brought up the conversation again a week after she'd told Jake and Steven she didn't want to talk about it .

Marc was insistent and kept bringing up the conversation , so she’d stopped talking to any of them . Her stubbornness and overall leading her to ignoring the boys , she knew it was self-destructive and that it wasn’t fair but , her heart ached . Jake kept bringing up the conversation of marriage , as did Steven which ultimately led her to this situation .

Steven brought up the idea again , for the upteenth time . And for the life of her she couldn’t fight the annoyance on her face as she typed away on her laptop . Looking back , it wasn’t Steven’s fault and she acted like this because she’d talked to her parents . The situation had nothing to do with Steven , her mother who had started a new family somewhere had called her and announced that she was pregnant . Which shouldn’t have disturbed her as much as it did , but she was an asshole like that . Her mother was currently pretty far along , and wanted her to be involved as an older sister with the baby ….she wasn’t sure she could and had called her sister to confirm the news . Her sister confirmed and said that she’d be a normal amount of involved , and explained her reasoning .

She had issues and they weren’t Steven’s to bear so she ignored him “Darlin’ , didja hear me ?” she continued typing to her sister who was listening to her rant at the moment “I’m talking to my little sis , Steven . I had a rough day , I have some news“ however Steven wasn’t satisfied it seemed “I did some research , and it would be better to….um… to ya know ….tie the knot . A lot of benefits …. The baby wouldn’t grow up as different… “ she paused , her current issue at the moment was something she’d always known would happen . And it caused her chest to ache , and Steven continued to push on and before she knew it . He was kneeling beside her with a simple ring with an obsidian stone set in the center . She blinked in surprise at that before her mind literally and completely crashed , her mind and emotions numbing instantly “Whatcha say ? Marry me… well us ?” she paused at that gulping and praying that this moment would be a joke and that it was Marc pretending to be Steven . Recording a tik-tok or prank that they’d later laugh at because it gave them millions of views . There were 2 options 1. She either said yes and had a breakdown later on … or 2. She said no and possibly lost all contact with her baby daddy’s . She brushed his hair back and grabbed his face in her hands gently “Steven , can we talk about it … i-I had a bad day ….i love you …” she made eye-contact and she wished there was a way to kick her own ass , the tears that gathered in the corners of his eyes… she briefly wondered if she was the worst human being in the existence of mankind … she figured Jake was pissed ,Marc was probably celebrating honestly and pissed at her too .

She frowned as he stood up again “Guess , it’s a no ..aye ? I’m gonna go grab some take-out …do you want anything ?” she felt horrible …the way he refused to look at her . Her heartache and she honestly had no excuse as she pursed her lips “Steven ,babe…. can-” and Steven ignored her attempts “I’m going to grab some take-out. See you later, love !” she frowned deeply as he left .

Fighting the urge to scream , yell and cry , she walked to her room and closed the door .

6 ½ months

Y/n sighed tiredly as she did most of her own things , she tried not to depend too much on the boys . Saving potty breaks and allowed walks to be as frequently as possible when they were home , to let them have breaks from her . Steven still hadn’t fronted …or talked to her actually ..she couldn’t blame him she’d be pissed too . Jake kind of talked to her , but she could tell he was just as upset and stopped bringing up anything about the future . She was an asshole and she knew it , she didn’t deserve them …she knew that and deep down they had to have known that . She stared silently at Marc .. who fronted more often and only offered help when prompted ….well …what could she say ? It was Marc …he probably hated her more now . She hated herself too , what kind of asshole does that ?!

So ….here she laid in a stupid position and probably dangerous position , she’d slipped in the old shitty shower , trying to reach a bar of soap (Yes , laugh it up . Lol) and had ended up slipping on said bar of death . And landed on her ass …however her pumpkin sized bump enabled her from standing straight up . She was unable to get up , so she sat silently trapped …the boys had just left to work and she didn’t feel like wasting anymore of their time or to bug them for something so stupid . She debated on calling Layla or a friend to come and help her but she noticed she lacked her phone and couldn’t crawl out .

Later

She gasped , and screeched when she woke up again to being violently shaken from the shoulders . She blinked up at a terrified looking Jake … she honestly didn’t know because they were babbling so fast that her language comprehension crashed and rebooted “Are you okay ?!!” it was Marc and she sighed “Yeah , just fell . Freaking Bar of Death !” she grumbled “No…Are you okay ? How long have you been here ?! Your ass has a big ass bruise!!” she hummed “I fell on my ass . Uh… i think when Steven left for work this morning “ she said , watching the unreadable expression on Marc’s face “Y/n that was 9 hours ago ! You didn’t call us ?! The baby ?! Hows-Fuck !” he hissed before picking her up and carrying her to the bed . She would've preened had it literally been any other situation , but decided against it . And doing it once over , before she pointed at her phone “I was just gonna rinse off , kinda pulled a turtle on their shell move “ she muttered .. Marc only stared “What’s going on ? First you turn Steven down … now this ....Are you okay ?” she glared silently , tears pricking at her eyes “i-no “ she said stubbornly “Pregnancy brain ..or somethin’ “ she said hopeful that he’d take the bait , trying to cover herself with her blank “Y/N Colibri !!!” he said sternly , she jumped at that before sighing “Steven or Jake, here ?” Marc frowned at that “They are , why ?” she shook her head “Could you block them out ? I want to talk to just you “ she muttered .

He sighed “Fine , they're gonna be upset with you“ she snorted “Aren’t they already ?” Marc frowned “No , opposite actually . Jake messaged your sister to ask her about the situation …she said something happened" he said turning his gaze down at her “I was an asshole , i shouldn’t have… he was so sad .” she said whimpered …tears dripping down her cheeks “At first but , you told’em . We all talked about it …and you seemed blindsided …but just to ask .. why don’t you want to get married ?” she sighed and chuckled .

She looked up at him and leaned against him “I was our baby . My parents got married because of me . And it fucking sucks …” she said before pursing her lips “I’m not saying it’s gonna happen . But , last time I checked we were all at different spots . You hated me …Steven was awkward ..and Jake wanted to marry me “ she said softly “I would but , i-I don’t want to put the baby through the fallout of this . I was a product of such a relationship …i’d rather not relive my childhood . I didn’t suffer to your level but , ….” she blinked back tears “Both of my parents wanted out …when i was a little kid . And I don’t want my baby to grow up and find out … that .. I don’t want to do that ” she sobbed … and Marc rubbed her back softly “I get it ..and we won’t rush . We'll talk about it later on , okay ? We thought you didn’t want that with any of us …” Marc reassured , pulling her closer

She sighed softly and drifted off to sleep .

Adorable - Bakugou Katsuki

Bakugou x f!reader

Warnings: Fluff, Crack, Cursing, slice of life, Bakugou kinda ooc but still lovable

Summary: Honestly it’s just some scenarios of Bakugou and Y/N being an adorable couple. It’s also just some moments in their lives as a couple

“Annnddd....done!” You squealed as you got your setup ready. You were currently setting up a cupcake tower on a table after you spent days baking. UA needed some funds so they set up a little event to raise money. Students could either participate in raising money or giving money and Y/N chose to do a little cupcake sale to help out. What a sweetheart.

“It looks amazing Y/N,” Mina said as she tried to grab a cupcake. You smacked her hand away before she snatched one. “Ow!”

“Those aren’t free Mina, they’re important too.” You explained as you picked up a stack of flyers to pass out.

“I know they’re important! They’re gonna save my life! I didn’t get to eat breakfast and I’m starvingggg.” You laughed at your best friend before you took a few steps away from your table to pass out the papers.

“Well unless you pay for it, you can’t have it. Besides, I put a lot of work into them. I spent a week in the kitchen and I just spent 4 hours setting up the table. Cant let them go to waste and just give ‘em for free.” you said as you gave away the flyers.

What you didn’t realize was that behind you at your table, Bakugou and Kirishima had stumbled upon your cupcake table and silently went in to grab one. Unfortunately, they weren’t the most graceful and tipped over your entire setup. They looked at each other in shock and quickly scrambled to fix their mistake as you were distracted. The boys picked up the table and quickly went to gather the cakes.

“I put a lot of time into them. There’s sugar free, dairy free-“

“Do you have any that are just free free? I’m really hungry.” Mina whined and you gave in.

“Fine, I’ll let you have a cupcake if you help me with the sale. You can make sure the table stays neat and tidy!” you bargained to which Mina agreed. However, as you said that, Bakugou had tipped the table again after he bumped into it while picking up cupcakes and Kirishima gave him a look that screamed ‘duuudeee seriously?!’ As he was on his knees picking up the sweets.

“Hey, maybe we can get Bakugou and Kirishima to help us too!” Mina offered.

“Ehh, I don’t know. They’d probably just want to eat everything,” you warned as you hung up one flyer.

“I doubt they’d put food in their mouths if it meant helping the school.” She tried to defend them but behind your backs, the boys panicked when they didn’t know what to do and just stuffed the cakes in their mouths. They left evidence all over their hands and face.

“Well, let’s get this bake sale started!” You said and when you both turned around to face your table, you saw it on the ground along with a few cupcakes. The rest of them were in the hands and mouths of Kirishima and Bakugou as you both watched them continue to chow down on the desserts. Once they noticed you guys staring they froze, dropped the cupcakes, pointed towards each other, and spoke with full mouths at the same time.

“.....he did it.” They both said with frosting and cake all in their hands, mouths, and faces.

—

Here’s the situation. Y/N has been directed to keep a low profile due to her being targeted by a few villains. She wasn’t down for that especially since her and Bakugou were a duo. She knew Bakugou could handle himself but it made her feel better knowing they were both looking out for each other on the field. And so, to keep fighting by his side, she went under an Alias hero name, Blaze, and gave herself a new look for the time being. She wore a very subtle and natural wig, different makeup, and wore a bandana mask that covered half her face.

Bakugou of course knew who she was, along with the rest of the former students in 1-A, but they went along with it so that Y/N can continue to fight. Unfortunately, “Blaze,” grew popular as people began to notice Bakugou’s “new” hero partner and eventually, the duo got an interview that wanted an inside scoop on all things Blaze. So here we are at that interview.

“You know Dynamight, I think I like this new partner better than H/N,” the interviewer said. Bakugou and the rest of 1-A grew a shocked and fearful look on their faces once those words left the poor man’s mouth.

“Excuse me?” Y/N aka Blaze said.

“Well, Blaze, I think you just have this special something that H/N never had. And, I think you’re more talented than her.” Ironic since the man is speaking to the same girl just with a different name. Once he said that though, the former students all grew shocked faces that were the embodiment of “😧😯” as they awaited for Y/N’s reply.

“Heh...what?” Y/N laughed trying to play it off and not be detected, “H/N is brilliant. You have no idea what you are talking about,” Y/N said with a slight smile but 100% attitude. Bakugou looked at his girlfriend with hesistant eyes as he was worried she would kill the man.

“I think I do,” the man started, “see, you just bring this fresh new look for Dynamight that H/N never brought.”

Bakugou was pissed this man was talking about his Y/N like that but he was in the eye of the public and had to keep a cool cover and so he quickly jumped to try and save this interviewer from Y/N’s wrath.

“H/N was also fresh! Heh..some might even say that H/N and Blaze have the same amount of ..fre-freshness.” Bakugou tried to counter but the man kept going.

“Well in my opinion, Y/N L/N wasnt an impactful or important part of your success at all. She was overrated.” And Bakugou’s face grew worried and shocked as his head snapped towards Y/N to gaze her reaction.

“Huh! What do you know?! You don’t fight villains or save lives!” Y/N aka Blaze said as she stood from her seat and walked towards the man. “You just sit there with your over-gelled, swoopy hair as you read and ask stupid questions off of stupid cards!” She said and took the cards out of his hands and threw them at the man.

Bakugou was quick to stand and try to take the attention away from the scene. “Hey uh..my-my team will be coming out with new Dynamight merch so stay tuned for that!..heh...”

“And another thing,” Y/N said as her intense stare never left the interviewer’s. “H/N has worked too hard to be treated with such disrespect! Am I right everyone?!” She asked the crowd in the audience as they all cheered in agreement.

“See this is what I’m talking about!” The man said as he stood up with you and Katsuki. “This is that exact fire that Y/N lacks!”

“Oh I’ll show you fire!” You said as you went to jump the man but before you got a chance Bakugou was quick to grab you and throw you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He turned to the man and apologized and created a casual conversation as you hung from his shoulders, fist-pumping with the crowd as they cheered on your alias name.

“Goodnight everyone!” Bakugou screamed as he ran off with you and out of the building. He took you home and you both had to take a breather from the insane night.

—

“Baby?” Bakugou screamed into your dorm room as he couldn’t find you. He just got back from a training session in the forest with Aizawa and had been looking for you all day. He just wants to see his teddy bear.

“Baby?” Checked the common rooms..nothing.

“Babyyy?” Checked the kitchens...nope.

“Y/N?” Checked the school..not here either.

“Teddy Bear?” Checked the gym..you already know. Bakugou got tired and went to the rooftop.

“TEDDY BEAARRRRRRRR!!!!” He screamed to the world. He still got nothing but then he heard feet running up the stairs and the door bust open. He turned in hopes of it being his loving girlfriend but instead he saw his 4 friends.

“BAKUGOU! SHUT UP!” They all screamed at him.

“Oh shut up idiots! I’m trying to find my girlfriend here!” Bakugou said and as he was getting ready to yell again, the Bakusquad shut him up and dragged him to his dorm room.

“Did you check there?!” Mina asked and she and the rest of the squad walked away. Bakugou walked in and saw you peacefully sleeping in his bed and out of nowhere his annoyed thoughts all left him as he smiled at your slumbering state. He took off his bags and shoes as he jumped into bed with you and smothered your face in quick kisses.

You finally woke up to the ticklish feeling of your loving boyfriend and giggled as he assaulted you with his love. “Hey baby, what’s up?”

“I’ve been looking for you Princess,” Bakugou said as his lips were on your cheek. His face was smooshed into yours as he inhaled your sweet scent. He loved it here.

“You need something, love?” You asked as you turned to face him. You watched as Bakugou just nodded his head and poked his lips out. Yes. Bakugou Katsuki did all that searching and yelling for a single peck on the lips from you. It was all he craved for and he was gonna get it. You smiled as you rolled your eyes and gave in. The sweet peck was enough to make Bakugou combust as he sighed in satisfaction and flopped onto his bed, bringing you down with you him.

“Thank you!” He said with shut eyes and a contempt smile.

“Sure babe, anytime,” you said as you cuddled into him and drifted back off to sleep. Katsuki following you, dreaming about giving you even more kisses.

—

Y/N had been meditating. Due to her quirk, it was good that she’d get some R&R during these peaceful and quiet states. Until her boyfriend walked in. Bakugou Katsuki, who is very much the opposite of peaceful and quiet.

“Baby?” He asked. “Is there anything I can do to help?” He said with a pretty chirpy attitude and a small smile.

“Go away,” you smiled sweetly at him for a second before turning back around.

“THAT’S JUST MEAN!”

word count: 1,816

requested by: @mossycrumpet

-

     Hartley hated new schools. He especially hated new schools in small towns. Keystone City, Kansas has a population of too-few and all the teenagers in the town attended the same high school. The same high school that Hartley’s parents moved him to over the summer. Junior year, hello Keystone City High! Luckily, he didn’t have to join in the middle of the semester and the Rogues are just a train ride away. All he has to do is get through the next two years without incident, get into some fancy school his parents will approve of, and then he’s free! Maybe. Hopefully. Hartley refocused himself, it was his first day and he had arrived. Well, it was everyone’s first day. That was a comforting thought. As he walked towards the suddenly very imposing doors, he tried not to think about how everyone here already knew everyone else and he was the outsider. He was a lamb entering the lions’ den, he’d be lucky to make it to first block alive. 

     Hartley counted his blessings when he saw the very clearly labeled front office as soon as he entered the building. He beelined for it, having not been in town for open house and therefore not having his schedule, and steeled himself before heading for the small woman sitting behind the desk. Wordlessly, and before he could speak, she held up a finger. A little shocked, Hartley obeyed and waited for her to finish her snail’s pace tapping on the keyboard. While he waited, he observed her and her red cat-eye readers, the faux-gemstone glasses chain hanging around her neck, she had an almost comical beehive. There were huge filing cabinets lining the walls behind her. Hartley felt like he’d entered a time bubble. After several agonizing moments, she turned to him and smiled. 

     “Hello, dear, so sorry about that wait,” she pulled the glasses off her face and dropped them, letting the chain catch them against her chest. “What can I do for you?”

     “Uh,” Hartley’s brain felt a little like mush. The second she spoke and actually gave him her attention, the entire script he had for her had left his mind. Stupid traitor script. He remembered himself and pulled one of his earbuds out, fiddling with it. “Uh. Um, my name is Hartley and… and I need to pick up my schedule.” She stared a little bit. “I’m… I’m new in town.” 

     For a brief, terrifying moment, she remained silent and staring. Then, as if a switch flipped, she smiled at him again and picked up the phone sitting on the desk in front of her and pressed a couple of buttons. It made a strange crackling noise and she spoke into it without putting it to her ear. 

     “Mrs. Stevenson? I need you to send Mr. Wally West to the front office, I need his assistance.” She paused, listening for a response that Hartley didn’t hear and didn’t think she heard either. “Thank you.” She turned back to him and smiled again. “What’s your last name, sweetheart?” 

     He flushed. He thought he’d done a good job introducing himself, but apparently not. “Oh, um, Rathaway.” 

     She blinked, and a brief shocked expression crossed her face. Then, she schooled her expression back to the kind grin she’d had moments before and pushed against the desk to send her rolling chair to the filing cabinets behind her. She yanked on one of the drawers and it opened with a loud whooshing sound. Her bright red nail polish shined as she quickly sifted through the contents, giving a small “ah-ha!” as she brandished what she was looking for with a smile. The secretary rolled back towards him and placed a schedule in his hands. Then, she leaned in, conspiratorial. A little mesmerized by her, Hartley leaned in, too and she spoke to him in a whisper. 

     “Dr. Haven insists on a paper filing system, though,” with this she lowered her voice further. “Between you and me? I think he may be a time traveler from the fifties.” 

     He stared at her. Was she joking? Could she read his mind? She winked. He grinned. At that moment, a blur of color and fabric came bursting through the door. The blur nearly knocked a potted plant over and Hartley braced for an impact that never came. There was something achingly familiar about the way the newcomer moved, the chaos and simultaneous self-assuredness. 

     “Hi, Miss Darlene!” The boy (not a blur) spoke. “Sorry it took me so long, I was wrapping up a quiz when you called.” 

     Hartley looked at the secretary (Miss Darlene, his mind supplied) with what had to have been a bewildered expression because she laughed lightly at his face. 

     “Just the entrance I expected from you, Mr. West! Not to worry, I just need you to show our new student around. He missed the open house last week.” 

     When had he told her that? Miss Darlene winked at him again. What did she know that he didn’t? He narrowed his eyes at her, but before he could say anything, the kid grabbed his arm and tugged, a little impatiently. Hartley shoved his earbud back into his ear and followed his tour guide out of the office. The guide began chattering away as he led Hartley to what seemed to be a central area for the school. Some students sat on benches and picnic tables scattered throughout the area, and there were plenty of bulletin boards filled with flyers for events, clubs, and classes that wanted advertisement. Hartley observed the school with a bit of scrutiny. The walls were white, and the floor was checkered with dark green and a light gray, the school’s colors. 

     “... schedule?” 

     Hartley snapped back into focus, pulling an earbud out once again and finding his tour guide’s face. 

     “Sorry, what?” He asked. 

     “Can I see your schedule?” The kid - Wally West, as Miss Darlene had called him - didn’t seem upset at having to repeat himself. He smiled, pleasantly and a bit lazily. His smile was crooked, the left corner of his mouth rising higher than the right. He had freckles all over his face, and his cheeks were rosy. Hartley zeroed in on a small freckle on his bottom lip without thinking. Wally’s green eyes sparkled with vague amusement, and Hartley remembered where he was and what was happening in an embarrassing rush. 

     “Right!” Hartley said, probably a little too loud. A couple heads turned as he sheepishly handed the kid his schedule. “Sorry. About that.” 

     “It’s alright, new kid,” Wally’s voice was soft and tilted a bit when he spoke. Hartley felt the tips of his ears heat up. He really liked this kid’s voice, it almost had a musical quality to it. He watched with bated breath as Wally looked over his schedule. The crooked grin was back, and the schedule was slid back into Hartley’s hand. “You can follow me.” 

     So, Hartley did. He followed Wally West to his locker, studiously kept his eyes on the door of it as he deposited his things, he was led to his first, second, third, and fourth blocks, then shown the gymnasium, the cafeteria, the quad (which - what kind of high school legitimately has a quad?), and the athletic fields. The whole tour only took about twenty minutes, but Hartley hardly recalled anything. He was too focused on the kid’s voice, the intonation and the way he pronounced his words. Too focused on the sound of it to register what was being said. 

     “... got the same homeroom, so I’ll probably see you around. Do you have any questions? Need anything else?”

     “Sorry, what?” He felt like a broken record.

     “We’re in the same homeroom. And we have the same lunch. You can sit with me and Linda today, if you’d like.” That smile was back. “I’m Wally West, by the way. I don’t think I ever told you that.” 

     “I know.” He said it without thinking. Wally’s eyebrows raised, and Hartley felt like cursing himself for his lack of impulse control. “I… uh, Miss Darlene said it. A couple times, I think. I’m Hartley Rathaway, I’m -”

     “The new kid?” Wally hooked his thumbs into the straps of his backpack. 

     “Yeah,” the word left Hartley’s mouth in a rush of breath. He smiled, feeling at ease in an instant. “I moved here in July, but my folks took me out of town last week, so…” 

     “So, no open house.” Wally nodded, not needing Hartley’s confirmation. “Hey, whatcha listening to, new kid?” 

     What was he listening to? 

Step by step,

Ooh, baby,

Gonna get to you, girl!

     Oh God. He was listening to New Kids on the Block. That was the most distinctly embarrassing music he could be listening to! Before Hartley could change the song, Wally had the free earbud up to his ear. Through his embarrassed haze, Hartley noticed that Wally didn’t put the earbud fully in his ear, which was appreciated. A small smile grew on Wally’s lips, and Hartley kind of wanted to curl up and die. Wally would think he’s a total dweeb for listening to an 80s boy band, and then he’d take back his lunch invitation and Hartley would sit alone and never make any friends because Wally totally had to be super popular and then he’d end up dying alone with only the Rogues caring. This was the worst case scenario. 

     “New Kids on the Block.” Wally’s lovely voice was thick with amusement. 

     “I don’t even like them! It’s… it’s a friend’s playlist!” Lies. Total bullshit lies. Hartley didn’t even believe himself, why would Wally? 

     “Right.” Wally drew out the vowel, and then winked. Actually winked! Hartley felt his heart beat a little faster. “Well, I gotta run.”

     Hartley’s heart sank a little bit. He took the earbud that was handed to him back and held up two fingers in a peace sign. A peace sign?! Wally, somehow, found that charming, because he laughed a little bit and held up a peace sign of his own. His nose scrunched and Hartley’s knees went a bit weak. 

     “I’ll see you at lunch?”

     The lunch invitation! Had not been taken back! A little starstruck, he nodded mutely. 

     “Cool, hang tough, new kid!” Wally threw another wink over his shoulder as he walked away. 

     Quick! Say something cool! Something suave! A voice in his head (one that sounded suspiciously like Lisa) whispered to him. 

     “Uh, please don’t go, girl!” Lame! Lame! Totally lame. He saw Wally’s shoulders shake as he disappeared around the corner, and maybe it was the light, but he totally caught a hint of that crooked grin, too. Wally was, despite Hartley’s brain’s best efforts, charmed. Hartley felt a bit of satisfaction as he straightened his messenger bag and started off towards his first block. Until he realized he had no idea how to get there.

I know I have few mutuals here as I'm keeping this dash very small but... plotting call maybe?

[falryllghts]

Wow😳

Now I want "You don't know a thing about me" feat. Zhongli and Diluc 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Please and thank you!

you don't know a thing about me pt.2 // genshin impact x reader

gender neutral pronouns, angst, little to no comfort

characters included: diluc, zhongli

warning(s): reader being rejected, ooc zhongli?

part one w/ venti, kaeya and childe , part 3 w/ venti and diluc

a/n: I really wanted to do this but I've never written for zhongli before (bc I've skipped,, 90% of his dialogue) but I included him in here anyways so I hope this suffices !! also sorry if this took awhile to post </3

Diluc

you were friends with diluc through you visiting the tavern every so often and seeing him there whenever he would be working. you always felt particularly bad for him every time you’d walk into the tavern and see kaeya there. it was pretty common knowledge to everyone in mondstadt that the two didn’t get along for reasons unknown. you two had actually started to get along from your mutual hatred of the knights of favonius. you didn’t necessarily hate them as much as diluc did but you did agree that they could do a much better job protecting mondstadt.

soon enough, you found yourself falling for diluc. it had been nearly a year before you even mentioned the growing feelings for him. whatever hope you had beforehand was almost immediately thrown out the window.

“you like me? do you even know anything about me other than the fact that i despise the knights of favonius?”

you hesitated before slowly opening your mouth to speak again, carefully watching your next words. “well i just assumed you didn’t go around saying much else about yourself-”

he nodded though his face showed anything but joy. “exactly. its because i don’t want people to know much about me.”

you shut your mouth after that, struggling to understand what he wanted. was he just not looking for a relationship? you didn't want to aggravate him further so you ended up staying silent. he let out a sigh, seeing you unable to come up with a response. he turned his back to you as if trying to avoid your eyes. “just...leave me alone.” with that, he was walking away. maybe if you had apologized or even chased after him, things would’ve been different.

that day was the last time you really saw him. you started to avoid the tavern to give him space and eventually just started going to the cat’s tail instead. it was also rather awkward when a certain darknight hero had to save you once, the both of you just shaking off the event as if it had never happened at all. sometimes you wonder if you would still be friends if you hadn’t confessed.

Zhongli

you met zhongli during the lantern rite festival, shortly after the passing of the geo archon. you two had started up a conversation and you found yourself being intrigued by him. shortly after that, the two of you had become friends. whenever you’d see him passing by in liyue, you’d always wave at him and every so often he’d invite you to tea. he seemed to have so much knowledge even on the little things in liyue that every time you guys would hang out, he’d tell you something new that you’d never even heard before.

you also found it a little amusing how often he’d try to buy things despite not having the mora for it. you’d get him things every so often though you were unable to get everything, considering he kept trying to get things that were over a million mora. even so, you’d still find him paying you back or making it up to you. how? you didn’t have the slightest clue and whenever you asked, you never quite got a clear answer. regardless, over the year that you had known zhongli, you had gained a crush on him. 

you two were finishing up saying your goodbyes after having a meal when you had confessed. it had come out on accident and you could tell he knew you were embarrassed for saying something so suddenly, yet he made no comment on it. instead, he looked as thoughtful as ever. “so you’ve fallen for me despite not knowing much about me? interesting, that’s a new one.” 

the both of you remained friends after that and honestly you were just relieved zhongli didn't really tease you that much about it. he did bring it up once or twice to see your reaction but he always stayed calm as you would apologize for confessing though he honestly didn’t seem to mind. it was almost as if he had learned something through this ordeal and he was enjoying himself with it. he reassured you that he enjoyed this much more than his old occupation which you had tried to ask about but was just shrugged off. though even if you were just friends, you decided that it wasn’t so bad.

RISES THE MOON

leon s kennedy x reader // 2 // the home away from home

leon regenerated before you, and he started looking for you in the tree line. eventually catching sight of you, the two of you made eye contact, but you didn't come to the campsite. instead, you ran off in another direction, and leon had to follow you into the fog.

genre: angst, attempted fluff

tags: leon tries to help you, touch starved reader, cuddling, nightmares, jill may be ooc- idk how to write her in this situation tbh 😭

warnings: nightmares, ptsd themes, mentions of bullying, violence and death

---

leon peeked into the small shack you inhabited in the woods. you had decorated it how you like and was quite cozy. you seemed busy, digging through your belongings that you kept in a chest. gently, the blonde knocks on your doorframe and you jump with a gasp, spinning around to see your fellow survivor. "sorry, i didn't mean to scare you." leon smiles sheepishly. "did anyone see you?!" you ask desperately, worry filling your eyes. "no, they were busy at the campsite." the cop furrows his brows, shuffling from foot to foot. "can i come in?" leon asks, keeping his voice soft. "i guess.." you mumble, remembering how desperate he was to help you. "nice place." his comment makes you a little flustered, and you look away bashfully. "thanks." you reply, sitting back down and continuing to sort supplies into med-kits and toolboxes.

leon sits behind you and crosses his legs, watching you carefully, something that made you grow nervous. "you have so much stuff." the blonde chuckles, hoping to ease your anxiety. "yeah... i used to hoard stuff for the other survivors before everything went bad." you shrug, "i see. perhaps we could help each other then." leon smiles, grabbing one of your med-kits to help. you let out a soft oh, glancing at the blonde on your right to carefully watch him. "hm?" he looks back at you and you fluster more, looking away. leon laughs a little, continuing to organise the kit how you were doing it. "you don't have to be so shy. i don't understand what's going on here yet, but i can keep you safe." leon says softly, glancing over at you again as he zips up the med kit. your lack of response makes the man nervous, and he gently rests his hand on your arm, hating how you flinch.

"i'll keep you safe, no matter what happens here. i'll help you and anyone else if they need it." leon's smile stumps you and you feel like crying. "you shouldn't even be here... if they find us then god knows what they'll do.." you whisper, putting your supplies away. "if who finds you?" leon asks, rubbing your arm softly. "them! all of them... anyone out there." you shudder, pulling your arm away as you move away slightly. "hey.. no one will hurt you, okay? i'll keep you safe. it's my duty, you have my word." he smiles sadly, pulling you against his chest to hug you. your breath catches in your throat, and you tense up. "it's okay. i'm gonna keep you safe." leon assures you, coddling your much smaller, malnourished form against his chest. you whimper softly, tears welling up in your eyes as you try to wiggle away from his burning touch. "it's okay.." leon soothes you, his fingers wiping away any tears.

eventually, you relax, clinging to his police vest with a few soft sobs. "is it really this bad?" leon whispers, his heart hurting for you. "yes..!" you cry, letting him hold you tightly. "hey, i have an idea." leon admits, and you hum softly, wet face staring up at him. "i can be your bodyguard so to speak, and my friend jill can keep you safe if i'm ever away." he smiles, seemingly happy with his suggestion. "i don't want anyone else getting hurt though.." letting out a small breath, you let his calloused, warm hand rest on your cheek, wiping away any tears. "we'll keep you safe and we have professional training in self defence. you shouldn't worry your pretty head." leon smiles at you, and you can't help but circle your arms around his waist to hold him closer. "thank you..." you whisper over and over again, a mantra that makes leon feel saddened for you.

"get some rest, you look like you need it." leon hushes your grateful rambling, and you fall silent as you huddle impossibly closer yet your eyes glance up at him for confirmation. "go on, i'll be here when you wake up. i'll keep you safe." the blonde assures you, and moves with you so he could bundle you up in your actually comfy cot. when the cop goes to sit down somewhere else, you sit up suddenly and catch his wrist. "don't go..." you beg, trying to pull him back to you. "please... please don't go..!" leon acts quickly as your breathing picks up. "okay, okay. i'll sit with you instead of on the floor." the officer smiles, heading back towards your bed.

when leon sits down, you can't help but try to press yourself under his arm so he would cuddle you. laughing at your attempt to slip under his arm like a needy kitten, leon wraps his arm around you securely. "you don't need my permission for this, y'know?" leon smiles, finding cute how you warmed up to his affection, however he couldn't help but also worry at your naivety to any positive touches. the officer felt like he had to protect you from any harms way, that he should hide you from the horrors of this world. but alas, all of it was out of his control and that was infuriating. "get some sleep." you hear leon whisper as he pulls your half asleep form up onto his lap and cuddles you against his chest. only humming in response, you eventually drift off and leon lets out a small sigh. "i'll keep you safe. i have to... it's my job!" leon speaks, despite knowing you can't technically hear him. "i have to make sure nothing happens to you whether it kills me or not. you're too precious." the blonde continues to monologue, before his own tiredness from a days worth of trials starts to get to him and he drifts off as well.

leon's brows furrow at the small noises that wake him up. he raises his head, neck aching from slouching over in and resting his head on you subconsciously. "y/n..?" he mumbles, becoming more awake when he realises your discomfort. you shuffle in his lap, distressed noises still falling from your lips. "hey, hey hey! it's okay, it's alright." leon shakes your shoulder softly, trying to be gentle with you. "y/n!" he calls a bit louder, finally jerking you awake with a startled inhale. you yelp and fall away from him, scrambling back with a wild look in your upset eyes. "don't hurt me! please don't hurt me!" you beg, keeping your hazy, tear-filled, sleepy eyes locked onto the figure in front of you. "hey, it's just me! it's leon, remember?" leon responds with a soft voice, slowly approaching you as if you were a wild animal. "leon..?" you whimper, blinking a few times and realising that it was in fact the blonde who looked deathly worried.

the man stretches out his arms for you, and you quickly rush for his comfort. you almost knock the poor cop over as you wrap your arms around his torso tightly. "it's okay, i've got you." leon lets out a small breath, rubbing your back as you cry against his uniform. "make it go away..! just make it all stop!" you cry loudly, hands gripping the back of the bullet proof vest leon adorned. "you're safe with me, i promise." leon offers instead, and you continue to shake with each desperate sob. "you poor thing... i'm not going to let anything get you anymore." leon sounds more sure of himself as you slowly calm in his warm embrace.

"please don't leave me alone." you whimper, feeling tired from crying. "i'm not going anywhere, okay? i'll stay with you for as long as i can." the blonde smiled, his fingers coming up to gently brush over your damp cheek. "i'm making it my duty to protect you whilst we try to figure a way out, okay? i'll keep you safe." you let out a sigh at his words. "thank you..." you whisper and the blonde laughs. "you shouldn't be thanking me." leon smiles, raising your head by your chin with his forefinger and thumb so he could look at you properly. you can't help but glance at his lips as he smiles at you, the air becoming more thick woth tension.

"there you are! jesus what the hell's happening in here?" a new, female voice that you didn't recognise chimed in, and the two of you jumped away from each other. "jill! thank god, are you alright?" leon smiles at the woman, and you follow him when he gets up to greet her. "i'm fine. who's this?" jill smiles at you softly. the aura around her was strong yet oddly comforting to you. "this is y/n. i'm going to be protecting them." leon declares to his friend. jill rolls her eyes. "he has quite the hero complex, doesn't he?" she jokes, whispering loudly as if leon couldn't hear her. you don't really respond, shuffling behind your new friend. "jill..." leon sighs, "don't worry, she's also here to help." you look at leon with uncertainty, and he smiles at you.

"sorry, didn't mean to be overbearing. i don't really know what else to do right now as it seems you're quite stressed. i'm jill valentine." the pretty woman extends her hand for you to shake, but you fully hide behind leon at her gesture. "be careful, they show signs of ptsd." leon scolds, and you feel a sense of comfort wash over your heavy mind. "oh! sorry... i'm still yet to find out what's going on here." jill laughs sheepishly, retracting her hand. "y/n, it's okay. jill's trustworthy." leon soothes you by taking his hand in yours, slowly coaxing you out to greet the woman.

"hello." jill smiles, now keeping her actions and tone soft to ensure she won't scare you. "hi..." you mumble, grabbing leon's wrist with your other hand for any sense of security. leon smiles, and looks back at jill. "jeez, they've really warmed up to you, huh?" jill jokes, and you're quick to jump to leon's defence. "he helps me!" you snap, but shrink back once you realise your outburst. leon rubs the back of your hand with his thumb comfortingly, and you relax slightly, but not fully. "it's alright. i didn't mean anything by it." jill raises her hands in faux surrender. "sorry..." leon says for you, as you seemed to have regressed to silence. "it's completely fine. nothing i haven't seen or dealt with before. i've got thick skin." jill smiles at you, and you feel your lungs deflate with relief that she isn't mad at you.

"come sit down, jill. we'll explain." leon gestures to the cot as you rest your head on his bicep. "sure." jill shrugs, following the two of you in, and settling down on the other end of the makeshift bed. when leon sits with his back against the wall, you curl up into his side, still uncertain of jill's company as the blonde speaks to her about what he's gathered so far.

Snowy sneezes

Class 1a x GN! Reader

Quirk: Snowman ~ can produce snowmen with everything that includes water. They can't melt (only by other quirks, not through natural causes), and they do whatever the host wants. If the host doesn't give any tasks immediately, the snowman becomes a body of its own forever. Unfortunately, they can't speak :( The more water there is in the air, (or any other source of water), the bigger the snowman gets. 

Warning: Crack, Fluff, mention of sexual content (because Mineta), swearing (because Bakugou), a bit OOC Midoriya

Summary: Y/n is sick, and every time they sneeze, little snowmen appear in their dorm. They are listening to music and study. Because of that, they didn't even notice that the snowmen disappeared and caused trouble.

Masterlist

Inspiration by Frozen Fever

Your head pouted, and you barely could keep your eyes open. You had a quirk about snow, so why did you get sick from a snowball fight. "L/N-san, could you please lift your head from the desk and focus on the lesson." admonished you Cementos. "I am sorry, Ishiyama-sensei." you apologized. He continued to teach, but you couldn't focus on a word he said. The lesson dragged on like forever. 

After the day ended, you went straight to your dorm room to replicate the knowledge you got taught today. 

After some time, the headache disappeared, and you could finally focus on your unfinished notes. Your nose started to tingle, and with a loud achoo, you sneezed.  A cold shiver went down your spine, but you didn't think much of it. You were so caught up in the work that you didn't notice how a small snowman waddled quietly around the room. Since listening to music helped you while studying, you didn't hear the rustling steps on your carpet.  The cute snowman watched your back and looked around your room. He investigated your plant in front of your bed. His tiny form tried to stroke the plant, but his short snowy arm couldn't reach the plant. The small snowman was determined to stroke the plant, so he tried to climb up at the plant pot. Since he didn't think about the consequences, the plant pot fell over and covered him with the potting soil. Anxiously he watched if you had seen his plight. You didn't seem to notice it. So he tried to clean himself with his tiny arms. 

Another sneeze shook your body, and another tiny snowman appeared. He looked around the room and found his buddy. The two jumped happily around, and the new snowman helped to clean up his pal. The two snowmen happily discovered your room, as quiet as they could. After they were done, your room looked like you had a fight in it.  They also tried to open the door, but they were too tiny. Exhausted, the two snowmen settled in front of the door. 

A sneezing fit hit you, and about five snowmen developed in your room. The two snowmen got right up and wobbled to the new snowmen. They hugged each other like they were old friends. Silently the two older snowmen convinced the younger ones to open the door together. They built a ladder out of snowmen by stacking themself on their shoulders. With a soft click, the door opened, and they left your messy room.

Your classmates were occupied with their interests and tasks. Some were reading, training, baking, showering, or learning. So they were either outside, in their rooms, or in the common room area. This meant that the hallway in front of your room was empty. The snowmen waddled quietly around the enormous building. 

Since they discovered their new skill, they opened another door. In the room was a blond boy, who laid on his back with a manga in his hand, called Snow white with the Red Hair. He was completely caught up in the book, so he didn't even notice that someone entered his room. The snowmen inspected his room. It has the theme of yellow and blue, and on his shelf were tons of All Might figures. One snowman got his snowy hand on a manga and tried to read it. He failed because snowmen can't read, but the pictures were interesting. He wanted to read it later, so he took it with him. 

The gang of snowmen went downstairs to explore the other parts of the dorms. Loud singing caught their attention. They followed the singing and landed in a steaming environment or, to call it something more simple, the bathroom. It was hot in there, and the snowmen were happy that they couldn't melt by natural causes. Since the bathroom was really a boring place to be, they climbed on the shelves and searched through the products. After the other snowmen had left the room, the last one of them was mesmerized by a big red bottle with the label: red hair dye. He took the bottle with him and followed the other snowmen fast. 

The next stop of the seven snowy figures was another room. They used their secret method again and opened the door. The room was cramped with bookshelves that reached the ceiling. Another weird thing was that there was a shelf only for tons of glasses. No one was there. The snowmen wandered around the room like it was an old museum. The two snowmen that stole something hid in the corners of the room, so their misbehavior wasn't noticed. The smallest of the snowmen looked around and climbed up on the shelf with the glasses. Unfortunately, one of the spectacles fell on the ground and broke. No one seemed to witness it, so the tiny snowman grabbed them and hid them behind his back from the others to see. After they discovered every inch of the room, they made their way to the next one. 

The room wasn't much different from the first one, but it had a more pleasant atmosphere. It was bright and happy. Some snowmen were bored because of the All Might figures they had already seen, but one of them got interested by the rarest of all time. The bronze age All Might figure. Only fifty got produced, and the owner of the room had one. The snowman needed this figure, so when no one watched him, he took the opportunity and stole it. 

They went into two other rooms before they finally got to the common-room kitchen. There stood a tall brown-haired boy with a tart pan. He studied a recipe and was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice how a snowman stole his eggs. After the boy wanted to reach for them, they were gone, and he questioned himself if he forgot to lay the eggs on the kitchen counter. He opened the fridge and saw no eggs. But he was sure that he bought them with Koda yesterday. They couldn't be gone, only if someone used them. And he was sure who it was. With angry steps, he walked to the room of a certain angry pomeranian. 

In the meantime, the snowmen discovered that everyone had stolen something. They laid their stolen objects in the middle of their circle. The items they had stolen were a romance manga, red hair dye, a pair of glasses, a rare All Might figure, eggs, lipstick, and a book. All of the snowmen had a panicked expression on their snowy faces. The humans aren't dumb they would soon find out, so they have to hide their items somewhere. Fearfully they collected the things and quickly set about hiding with the stuff in a nearby room. 

It was a dark room, and it got lit by a small source of light. Unearthly sounds could be heard from the computer screen in front of a short, purple boy. The older snowmen tried to cover the eyes of the younger ones. So they couldn't see the horrific show that played on the screen. It was dangerous to be in such a gross environment with young snowmen, but it was better than getting caught. 

"I didn't steal your lame eggs. Now leave me alone fat lips." cursed Bakugou as Sato confronted him. "But I am sure you know where my manga is, don't you?" Bakugou questioned harshly with a raised eyebrow. "Why would I want a manga from you?" Sato asked him. The blond one scoffed and pushed Sato out of the way. "I bet shitty Deku got it," he grumbled and stamped in the direction of his room. Without knocking, he kicked the door open. "Oi, shitty nerd. Give it back," he yelled. But what he didn't notice that the room was messy as hell. "Ah, Bakugou, I wanted to talk to you," Midoriya spoke slowly. His expression was horrifying. Even when Bakugou wouldn't admit it, he was scared of the shorter green-haired boy. "Now, where do you have it?" Bakugou asked, unimpressed. "What should I have? I wouldn't even give it to you. You stole my All Might bronze age figure." Midoriya yelled. He activated his quirk, and before he could Detroit Smash Bakugou into nirvana, Kirishima intervened. "Wait, that's not really manly of you, bro. My hair dye also went missing. I think someone is stealing from us." Sato followed the red-haired. "I think he's right," he said. "Let's meet up with the other ones and think about it before we hurt each other." mediated Kirishima. Still, with rage in his eyes, Midoriya let got of his powerful quirk and noded. "Alright, but I am not done with you, Kacchan." proposed Midoriya. "Whatever you say, shitty nerd." scoffed Bakugou.

As they got everyone except two persons in the common room area, the yelling began. "My lipstick went missing. How can I be able to rock my hero costume." Mina cried and hugged Uraraka desperately. The short brunette patted her back, comforting. "A book of mine also went missing," noted Momo. "Did someone saw my pair of glasses? I need to find Marry the third. Without her, my collection is incomplete." Iida yelled and made his typical hand gesture. At his comment, more than half of class 1a had to suppress a burst of laughter.  "My hair product also went missing," said Kirishima. "My limited All Might figure in his bronze age is missing," said Midoriya grumpily. "You look a bit scary, Midoriya. Is everything ok?" Todoroki asked. "Yeah, of course. I didn't need my All Might figure anyway." he sarcastically answered. "It's just a figure," Todoroki mentioned, and every chatter died down. "Dude, does he have a death wish?" asked Kaminari quietly. "Maybe," answered Sero noiselessly. "A figure... A figure..." Midoriya yelled and wanted to charge for a punch, but a frustrated screech interrupted the argument. 

You finished the last sentence of your work. So you turned around and stretched yourself with closed eyes, but as soon as you opened them, you were met with a tremendous mess. "The sneezes and the...oh shit," you yelled out in frustration. You were so occupied with work that you didn't even notice that you let go of a bunch of snowmen. Your steps stormed to the common-room to start the search for the tiny, snowy trouble makers. The yells in the common-room got louder and louder as you got nearer. "Guys," you yelled over the screeches of Midoriya. "I let go of my quirk, and some snowmen are probably starting some trouble. We need to find them." you got straight to the point. Everyone looked at you with expressionless faces. "Why is even every one of you here?" you asked now, confused. "Your tiny snow fuckers stole our stuff," Bakugou grumbled. "What was actually stolen from you, Kacchan ?" Kaminari asked.  "A manga," answered Bukugou grouchily. "Uh, which genre?" questioned Kaminary. "Shut it, dunce face," Bakugou yelled. "Just asking." waved Kaminari away. 

"Do you know where they possibly went, or how we can get rid of them?" asked Momo calmly. "I don't know where they could be," you answered, a bit disappointed. "If we find them and want to get rid of them, we need to destroy them with fire quirks. They don't melt of natural causes," you explained. "Alright, I think we build two teams. One team goes with Bakugou and the other one with Todoroki," suggested Momo. "Why do I need to be in one team. I can do this on my own." Bakugou protested. "Do you want your manga back asap?" Momo asked after that the ash-blond boy was quiet but still grumpy. "I am not going with Kacchan." Midoriya angrily said. "I don't want to go with you either," shouted Bakugou. "Just like an old married couple." laughed Kaminari. "Shut it, dunce face." yelled the blond boy. 

After you build up the teams, you started to search for the cold troublemakers. The team of yours consisted of Todoroki, Aoyama, Tsuyu, Iida, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, a grumpy Midoriya, Tokoyami, Shoji, Ojiro, and you, of course. The other ones had fewer patient people in their team. Bakugou got Sero, Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido, Jiro, Sato, Koda and Hagakure in his team. Your team searched on the second and third floor for the stolen things and your snowmen. 

The third floor was clear now you searched on the second floor. "Waa, how did snowmen came into my room?" a high-pitched yell caught the attention of your team. You neared the room and opened the door. Mineta was standing in front of a bunch of tiny snowmen. Everyone in the room turned, slowly their hats to the door. "Yeah, gotcha," you shouted happily. The snowmen suddenly let go of the stuff they hoarded and ran in different directions. "We need to catch them. Todoroki, Tsuyu, Iida, Momo, and I are catching them, and the rest of you secure the missing stuff," you ordered. During this time, Momo produced earpieces for communication. The people named ran with you to catch the snowmen.

Since the snowmen were fast and not as dumb as you wished they were, you had to separate. The snowman in front of you ran fast, and you yelled after him. As the snowman had to take the elevator, you could easily catch him. "I got one. Does someone else has one?" you asked in your earpiece. "I've got one too." answered Iida "Me too," said Tsuyu. "I have already burned two," said Todoroki in his calm demeanor.  "I am currently trying to catch one," yelled Momo hectically. "Thanks, guys, that means only one is missing," you said. A loud explosion roared through the dorm-building. "Now, I think only one is left." you corrected yourself. "I got the penultimate snowman," said Momo proudly. "Great." you cheered. As the elevator stopped at the ground floor, the snowman in your arms tried to wiggle himself free. "We need to met up in the common room, so we can get rid of the captured snowmen," you said to the others. 

After you got rid of the captured snowmen. Bakugou stormed into the common room area. "We found only one, are all gone?" he asked grumpily. "Only one is missing," you answered as you watched the penultimate snowman melt. "I got the last one he was hiding in the fridge," said Sato and brought you the last one. 

"Thanks, guys, for helping. I am so sorry that my quirk got out of hand and caused such trouble," you apologized to your classmates. "No problem, that could happen to every one of us. You don't need to apologize." Midoriya said reassuringly. A small smile spread across your face, and you were relieved that everyone agreed and wasn't angry with you. Except for Bakugou, but that was to be foreseen.

Hallucinations

Dabi x Shigaraki One-Shot

Warnings: So ooc, bugs, slight gore if you squint really hard, swearing, rOmAnCe, fEeLs, omg cliché

Shigaraki strolled into the League of Villains’ bar, wiping the blood off his hands with a discarded, musty towel. His gaze swept over those present in the room, hidden by the obstructing hand on his face. Toga was sitting at one end of the bar with Spinner, giggling obnoxiously at his dramatic hero imitations. Twice perched on a barstool at the opposite end of the bar, staring sullenly into the distance while puffing leisurely on a cigarette. Meanwhile, Kurogiri stood behind the counter, polishing glasses in a dutiful, restless manner, while Dabi lounged on an old moth eaten couch. Across from him, Compress made a move on the chessboard the two shared.

All of them eyed Shigaraki as he stepped further into the room, clearing his throat to get their attention. The effect was immediate. Toga and Spinner fell silent, Twice came out of his trance, and Dabi’s posture straightened slightly.

“News, Tomura?” Mr. Compress questioned. Shigaraki’s head turned in his general direction and gave an almost imperceptible nod.

“Different factions of the yakuza are still at war, competing for control now that they’ve removed Overhaul. One of the factions was delivering me a shipment of illegal drugs…I was expecting to use it to create more of those quirk destroying bullets, but it was intercepted by Ryukyu, Selkie and a few U.A. brats,” he reported in a bitter tone. He clearly wasn’t happy about how events had transpired.

“And all that blood on your hands, you slip and fall into Kool-Aid, boss?” Dabi snickered. Shigaraki turned to him and flexed his fingers, the unspoken threat apparent.

“How would you like to find out?” Tomura intoned quietly. Dabi scoffed, unfazed by the hostility.

“Well, you know, if you weren’t an insufferable dick and gave us straight answers…” he shrugged maladroitly. An unsteady and tense silence had fallen over the room, and everyone present was waiting to spring into action, should the need arise. Kurogiri inched closer, recalling the volatility present in the two’s previous encounters. Shigaraki and Dabi were continuing to stare at each other, Tomura’s demeanor calm and collected, Dabi’s wary yet relaxed. As they eyed each other quietly, Dabi realized Shigaraki was balancing all his weight on one leg and holding-no, more like nursing- his right arm. His gloves were absent. Tomura detected his examination and shot Dabi a nasty glare as their eyes met, daring him to say something. Kurogiri observed this interaction and decided it was time to step in, before things went any further.

“Tomura, where did all the blood come from?” he inquired, making sure to keep his tone level and to keep from sounding interrogating so as not to anger Tomura further. Shigaraki tore his gaze away from Dabi, muttering a response.

“One of the yakuza factions at war with the one I employed recognized me. Overhaul followers…one had a paralyzing quirk,” he seethed. It had hurt his pride immensely to have been surprised so easily, pinned so effortlessly, paralyzing quirk or no, and having that scarred idiot examining him only pissed him off worse. Kurogiri’s mist blew slightly, a draft from the open door causing him to dissipate and then reform as he spoke again.

“I see,” he soothed, “why don’t you go lie down, I’ll prepare you some food.”

Tomura nodded, looking rather beaten. He began to shuffle off to his room, Spinner and Twice both averting their gaze out of respect to their boss. Dabi sat thoughtfully on the couch, sweeping a hand through his hair as he rendered Compress checkmate.

~

A few hours later, Dabi was sauntering to his room in the evening, but as he passed Tomura’s room he heard muffled cursing. He turned around and rapped the door. The sounds quieted, and Tomura muttered gruffly for him to enter. Dabi obeyed, leaning against the doorframe.

“You okay in here?” he interrogated, already knowing the answer. Tomura was in bad shape. His food sat untouched, his laptop shut on the desk, no online gaming visible. He was sprawled on his bed, sweatshirt hood up, panting slightly.

“I’m fine,” he snapped, his face obscured by his hair in the dark of the room.

“Cut the bullshit handyman, what’s got you sitting on tacks?” Dabi shot back. Tomura huffed.

“Why the fuck would you care? Get out,” he barked. Dabi scoffed.

“No wonder no one wants to be around you. You’re so kind,” he murmured sarcastically, turning to leave. He was halfway to the door when Tomura spoke again.

“The attack….there were three people. One paralyzed me, another rendering me mute, I’m assuming those were their quirks…”

Dabi raised an eyebrow. “The third?” he questioned.

“The third…didn’t move until the other two started leaving…as they walked away, he threw something at me….I flinched, so I didn’t see what it was but I felt it hit me…like…worms eating into my brain. I didn’t think anything of it, because there were no unusual effects but now I…”

He trailed off, glancing at his food before quickly turning his gaze elsewhere once more. “When I try to eat the food is all…full of maggots, and mold. When I try to patch up my injuries from the encounter, all I see is…blood. So much blood…gushing, squirting, blood. Bugs. Lots of…”

He shuddered. “In the mirror…my nails turn to beetles and crawl away…my eyebrows, spiders…worms for-for lips. My gloves…they’re rats…”

His voice broke slightly, and he stopped speaking. Dabi sighed, observing him quietly. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Shigaraki was trembling, his knees pulled up to his chest. He was scared. The kind of fear that you know is irrational, but it’s bone-chilling anyway. He knew that fear, he felt it roll through his body, consuming his thoughts every time he heard his father’s footsteps near his bedroom door when he was a small child. Something inside him tugged at his consciousness, telling him to comfort the man in front of him. He gave into it, strolling over to Shigaraki and perching hesitantly next to him on the corner of the bed. He clenched his fist, opening it to reveal a small, flickering blue flame.

“Focus on it,” he suggested quietly, softly nudging Shigaraki with his shoulder. Shigaraki turned his head, hyper fixating on the fire, anxious for his mind to be anywhere but on the events of the day and their effects. After a while, he sighed softly.

“Thank you, Dabi,” he murmured, looking up at the raven-haired male. His shivering had eased, and he felt slightly calmer. Dabi noticed the hand wasn’t on his face, as usual, and was surprised by how red Shigaraki’s eyes were. He’d been crying, for a long while. Dabi nodded.

“Anything for you, boss man,” he replied truthfully. He may act abrasive towards Shigaraki, but there was a fondness for him, somewhere deep inside. Shigaraki had accepted him, however slowly, and had given him a place to stay, a family, somewhere he belonged. Maybe that platonic feeling of respect and devotion had turned into something else…something more serious. Seized by a sudden inexplicable urge, he tucked a small portion of Shigaraki’s hair behind his ear. The smaller male turned to him, a soft vulnerable in his eyes that Dabi had never seen before. It made Shigaraki seem…almost fragile. Dabi slid his thumb over a scar on the man’s cheek, frowning slightly. Two imperfect beings, two scarred, broken creatures, adapted to the circumstances of the cruelty they were subject to…so perfect. Almost poetic, how they were frozen together in anarchy, yet the world kept spinning on its axis around them. And they were safe. Safe from it all, because, all though unspoken, now, they had each other.

He never thought Shigaraki would be so soft, so fragile, so carefully built. He wanted to accept Shigaraki as a part of him, to take him in, take his bones, his flesh, his mind and make the two of them one. To protect him through anything and everything, always. He’d break himself to keep Shigaraki intact, he’d never let the world touch him again. When his thought process broke, he looked up, only to find Shigaraki’s face mere inches from his own. The blue haired male exhaled slightly through his lips and Dabi could feel it on his own. Unconsciously, his tongue darted out to wet them.

“Why are you such an ass to me?” Shigaraki questioned bluntly. The flame in Dabi’s palm flickered once, twice, and blew itself out.

“I’m…afraid of what I feel.” The hand that had been holding the flame came to rest on his upper thigh.

“What do you feel?” Shigaraki asked, a note of gentle yet earnest curiosity in his voice. Dabi licked his lips once more, swallowing heavily. Shigaraki seemed much too close…

“Tell me,” he whispered when Dabi failed to answer. Dabi hesitated, visibly struggling before leaning in to capture Tomura’s lips in a gentle, tender kiss. Shigaraki gasped softly, but didn’t pull away, instead lifting his hand to hold the back of Dabi’s neck, pulling him closer. Finally. Finally, they both thought. Shigaraki’s hand came up to brush the stubble on Dabi’s jaw gently, and they were no longer aware of the passage of time. The stars whirled, the sun rose and set, a million years passed, and it made no difference. Their souls merged, never to be torn apart. They pulled away as one, exhaled as one. Their gazes caught each other, holding each other in a silent embrace, one that said everything…and nothing. They never left that place, that space of eternal bliss, where for once, everything was right.
