Why do you hurt?

this isn't enough for you

the words creep into your head in the dead of night one night and you cannot get rid of them. 'this isn't enough for me anymore'. you thought this was enough for you at some point, or maybe you hoped that it would be, but it isn't, and it hurts. you need to change something, or die trying. this - life like this - does not make life worth living. there is a lump in your throat that demands attention every waking moment of the day. there is pain in your body like a cavernous maw you cannot keep balance over. this is not what you wanted. you need to change. you can't stay here. it is not a character flaw you want more.

『 orange slices 』

S U M M A R Y ― orange slices are usually eaten during or after sports events to replenish hydration, vitamins, and antioxidants; these characters can be forgetful, so what will you do to help them remember that sometimes it’s important to take care of themselves even though all they want to do is get lost in the game of volleyball?

post type ➺ headcanons fandom  ➺ haikyuu!! characters  ➺ daichi ⧾ bokuto ⧾ kuroo genre ➺ fluff tags ➺ college!au; established relationship;  word count ➺ 2k+ request ➺ [YES/NO]      ↳ request here!

⤭ people always tease you and daichi, calling you mom and dad, or playing around and saying, “oh, it’s like you two are already married!” and you suppose, most of the time, they’re right. you two just click. ⤭ you try to make it to as many of daichi’s intramural games as possible, given your busy school and work schedule. and every time, without fail, whenever he spots you on the green chatting with another one of the player’s girlfriends, that signature little bento box is seated safely beside you. ⤭ after the game is over, he snags one last refill of water from the team jug before jogging over to you, standing in the way of the sun so you’re not blinded when you look up at him. although, he shines brightly enough all on his own that it’s still tough not to narrow your eyes even just a little. ⤭ he makes small talk with the girls around you, their boyfriends slowly trickling in as they wrap up from their games. daichi sits next to you, hand on your knee, careful never to interrupt or overstep, always aware of you in every capacity. there is laughter as you all share stories about your least favorite professors and that one assignment you just can’t shake. ⤭ daichi waits until his stomach growls to make a move for the bento, knowing that the box is big enough for the both of you. you unravel it carefully, putting the cloth wrapping to the side before allowing him to unlock the lid.

more below the cut ↴

daichi’s eyes practically roll into the back of his head as the steam from the still-warm meat and rice wafts upward to his face. he sighs and leans forward, pressing a chaste kiss to your cheek before taking the set of chopsticks and digging into the food.

everyone else is watching you two, in awe or disgust at the natural ease of your relationship. you two sit closely, read one another’s minds as you get him a napkin when you see sauce drip from his chin, and he passes you the thermos filled with some sort of tea when he notices you trying to stifle a cough.

“thanks, honey,” daichi wipes his face clean before kissing your temple this time, one hand on the back of your head to steady you as he leans forward. he tucks his tissue into the empty box and nuzzles your cheek with his nose, “you always make such good lunch.”

it’s a simple recipe, one even tanaka couldn’t screw up, but the affectionate words are not lost on you. your face still heats, your eyes still avert his saccharine gaze, and your skin still buzzes at the sound of him. you thank him in that small voice you get when you feel self-conscious, and daichi wraps you up in his arms, pulling you tightly against his still-damp chest, mouth against the shell of your ear, “i’m so lucky to have you, y’know? always looking out for me.”

“daichi,” you groan, your skin burning as he kisses your cheek relentlessly, uttering little sweet nothings against your face like stardust. you wrinkle your nose and shove at him, but it has no intent. you curl your fingers around his jersey, “we look after each other, you silly goose. no need to thank me.”

daichi huffs and you look up at him, noting the wrinkle in his brow. just as you go to ask him what’s wrong, if you’ve said something that’s hurt him, his lips part, “i will never stop thanking you for being the wonderful person that you are. if i do, then i’m taking you for granted and that’s not fair.”

you know that he’s being overly dramatic, but you don’t have the heart to refute him. rather, you press your palm to his cheek and tilt your head upward to meet him halfway, a warm kiss passed from you to him. daichi’s hands seize around your waist, an anchor holding you to the grassy lawn you’ve been camped out on since early this morning. he sighs as you pull away, utterly enraptured by your graceful nature, “you deserve the whole world, darling. i just hope that what i can give you comes close enough.”

and you know that it will be. daichi was always more than enough.

⤭ bokuto always forgets his water bottle, no matter how many little notes you leave around the apartment as a reminder for him to pick it up, or how often you place it in the most easy-to-find and obvious places, he still manages to forget it entirely ⤭ even though he’s too focused on the intramural game to text you and ask you to bring it, you always show up after you’ve done your morning study routine with his huge water canister filled to the brim with ice cold h2o ⤭ after the first set, when he gets a five minute break before they start up again, bokuto spots you with that signature black water bottle hooked by the key chain attached to it’s lid looped around your finger, swaying it back and forth in midair, a little smirk-turned-smile on your pretty lips ⤭ bokuto has no bashfulness when it comes to your relationship. he loves you, is totally smitten, and wants everyone to know it. so he has no qualms with running across the green to pick you up around the waist and hoist you into the air, twirling you as he blabbers a dozen different thank you’s ⤭ he’s always so appreciative of the way you never get upset that he’s forgotten something yet again. rather, you pick up his slack, helping out where he lacks. today this trait shows by you bringing by his water bottle [and a little bento box filled with his favorite food for after the game is over]

﹢

"i left it on the front doorstep, bo,” you chastise him just before he manages to plant a kiss on your lips, effectively cutting short your admonishments. he chuckles, the sound reverberating his chest and yours, before settling you down on the ground so you can get your bearings straight before he kisses the breath out of you all over again, “yeah, but then i wouldn’t have had an excuse to come over here and kiss you.”

your whole body goes hot, from ears to toes, and you look down at his sneaker-clad feet so you don’t have to stare up into his shimmering golden irises. but bokuto, ever the steady-hand, notches his knuckle under your chin to tilt your head upward, “thank you, baby. i don’t know what i’d do without you.”

“dehydrate,” you deadpan, trying your hardest to keep from turning to a molten pit of lava right here on the campus green, “starve.”

“you little...” a mirthful smirk tugs on his lips and then he’s devouring you all over again, grabbing you around the waist and invading your space as he leans forward to kiss you square on the mouth.

“bokuto! time to start the next set!”

reluctantly, and with a low growl, he departs from you, raising a pale brow as he nudges your nose with his, planting one last chaste kiss to your mouth, “gonna watch the rest of the game, babe?”

you nod, smiling as he pulls away, “of course, bo. i always watch your games.”

“just checking,” bokuto pinches your hips before finally unraveling from you, “can’t wait to show you my new power serve i’ve been working on! you better watch me!”

pushing him away, you lick your lips and grin uncontrollably, his energy infectious as he bounces on his heels at the sight of you and the thought of playing another set of volleyball. you take a breath before nodding up at him, “i can’t wait to see it, kou. you’re always amazing.”

he can’t help but to kiss your cheek one last time before jogging back towards the volleyball court, his water bottle still hooked around your finger, forgotten once again.

⤭ kuroo is not forgetful of his things like jerseys, water bottles, etc. but he can lose track of time. usually he’ll have played so many games without eating that you have to interrupt him after a few games too many and only then does he realize how lightheaded he is. ⤭ you press your palms to his heated, sweaty face and force him to focus on you, reminding him that he needs to take a break every now and then. his eyes will flit around for a moment before he finally zeroes in on your features. ⤭ one of his classmates who has been taking a break on the bench tells kuroo that he’s going to sub in for him, he wants to try blocking against the other team for a while. you know it’s just the classmate trying to help you out, so you give him a small nod over kuroo’s shoulder and then turn back to your boyfriend. ⤭ you force kuroo to sit down on the grass underneath a big tree, the shade already cooling him down as he guzzles water from his bottle for a few moments without speaking. you simply sit next to him, keeping your distance because you can tell by his posture and the flush of his skin that he’s overheated, and you don’t want to contribute to his warmth by touching him with your palm to his knee. ⤭ finally, after a few minutes, he looks across at you with a genuine grin on his lips, his eyes practically lighting up at the sight of you now that he can see you in your entirety. he reaches towards you to press a palm to your cheek, tilting his head before kissing you slowly.

﹢

"you worry me, tetsu,” you whisper as he pulls away, your fingers clutching at his jersey.

kuroo kisses the tip of your nose and then your forehead, smoothing your hair away from your face before sitting back on his thighs, still towering over you even as you sit close together. his free hand drifts to your knee, drawing little swirling motions along your skin, warmed from the sunshine beating down through the sparse leaves of the tree, “i know, sweetheart. i just get lost in the game sometimes, i forget how long i’ve been playing. i promise i’ll be better.”

the same promises every time, but you know that he misses playing with nekoma. he misses being a captain. he misses the camaraderie. and who are you to tell him that he can’t have that any longer? who are you to rob him of his sidelined dreams that are played out now in the form of recreational volleyball?

instead of arguing, you purse your lips, silently asking him for another bout of affection. kuroo chuckles before obliging, rather enthusiastically, tackling you down into the grass. he loiters over you, lanky and long and bulking as always, broad shoulders down to a trim waist, knees caging you in on either side of your hips.

“thank you,” he murmurs as he pulls away, translucent lids still partially hiding his amber irises from your view, “i don’t know where i’d be without you to bring me back down to earth.”

“you’d manage,” you whisper, tracing his jawline with your thumb, “but i like to think i make your life a little easier.”

a slow blink and the gentle tilt of his head has you completely enraptured in the beauty of his eyes coupled with his smile. every time you see him, you’re completely blindsided by his mere presence, and he never ceases to amaze you, no matter how many days you spend together. your fingers slot into his hair at the nape of his neck, thumbs brushing along his throat, like this is what you were built to do, easy and smooth.

kuroo kisses your lower lip and then your top lip, paying closest attention to every part of you, “i don’t think you know how much you mean to me, baby. guess i’ll just have to remind you.”

if you two get lost in each other against the tree trunk, the sun setting and bringing about a newfound chill in the air, nobody seemed to notice. almost as if you two were in your own world, completely lost, unable to know where one of you ends and the other begin. eventually you have to go home, but for now you’re going to bask in one another’s presence.

And At Last I See The Lights

Hey! @calumsclifford said that Muke is very Rapunzel/Flynn and mentioned in passing that she would love a Tangled AU based on the lantern scene. No one asked but I wrote it anyway for her to avoid the next part of Stardust AU. 

It’s also here on ao3. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/25023496) Enjoy! 

Luke’s been holding Michael’s hand since they walked into the kingdom.  Michael supposes it makes up for the fact that he was forced to spend the last part of the journey with Maximus glaring at him and Petunia, perched on Luke’s shoulder, sending him her own disgruntled look.  Michael never knew that horses and lizards were capable of expressing human emotion, but here he is, with two animals shooting daggers at him the whole way.  Michael’s not even sure what he did, other than existing and maybe stealing a crown (okay so Michael knows what he did).

Michael’s trying to not to focus on where Luke’s fingers are laced with his.  His hands are soft and warm, like the rest of him. Luke’s wearing one of Michael’s rings, after he pouted and batted his eyes at Michael for it.  Even the metal is warm across Michael’s hand. Luke insists that it’s magic that makes his hair glow, but Michael thinks that it’s just who Luke is, sunshine and warmth coming from within.  Luke’s been swinging their arms back and forth gently, smiling softly, dimple indented on his cheek.  Michael can’t seem to pull his eyes away from Luke, whose smile gets bigger the closer they get to the kingdom.

Luke is utterly oblivious to his traveling companions.  Even since the top of the castle came into view, he’s been tugging Michael along urgently, speeding up his pace as if he’s worried the kingdom will vanish if he doesn’t move fast enough.  Although, he has spent the last 20 years locked in a tower in the middle of nowhere.  As he’s been telling Michael since the moment they met, getting to see the lanterns has been his dream since he was a child.

“Michael come on,” Luke whines, tugging at Michael’s hand and pulling him across the bridge.  Michael catches his foot on Luke’s hair and stumbles forward, trying to regain his balance in time with his dignity intact.  Luke barely notices, bouncing on the balls of his feet as he pulls Michael into the town square, coming to a stop and tilting his head back to look up and around at the banners and decorations set up for the lost prince’s birthday celebration.

“Well Luke, is it everything you ever dreamed of?” Michael turns to look at Luke, whose face is filled with awe and wonder as he turns around in a circle to take it all in.

“Oh Michael. This is. So much better than anything I could have pictured,” Luke’s voice is barely above a whisper, filled with disbelief and wonderment, eyes wet and shining.  He turns to Michael and pulls the man into a tight hug. “This is the best present ever.”

Michael returns the hug, wrapping his arms around Luke and holding onto him tight.  Wrapped up in Luke’s arms, face pressed into soft blonde curls, Michael’s heart aches.  He can’t imagine what this must be like for Luke to go through so much in the last few days, for his whole life, and he’s still so optimistic and happy.

Michael pulls back to look at Luke, to say something to him that will encompass everything Michael is feeling, when he catches the flinch of pain on Luke’s face.  Michael frowns, opening his mouth to ask Luke what’s wrong, when Luke’s hand flies to his head and he whimpers.  They both look down and Michael realizes that due to the long nature of Luke’s hair, everyone is stepping on it and tugging it.

“Here, let me,” Michael fumbles, making a grab at Luke’s hair and trying to help him gather it up.  They look at each other helplessly once they’ve gathered all the hair, yards and yards of it bundled up and tangled in their arms.  

“How are we supposed to do anything now?” Luke cries, eyes wet with tears for an entirely other reason. “We can’t go anywhere or look at anything or light the lanterns if I have to hold my hair the whole time!”

Michael looks around desperately, hoping to find a solution, even if it’s something as simple as a basket so that Luke’s birthday isn’t ruined.  He catches sight of a small group of girls by the fountain, brushing and braiding each other’s hair.  He wriggles a hand free from Luke’s hair, grabbing onto the other boy’s hand, and tugging him towards the girls. “Come on, I have an idea.”

----

“Michael can’t you walk any faster!” Luke whines, pulling Michael towards the boats for the lantern release.  Michael probably could walk faster, but he feels stuck, catch off guard by the way Luke looks in the setting sun.  The braid the little girls crafted earlier is still firmly in place and the flowers Luke’s acquired and stuck into it are bright against the blonde.  Luke’s practically glowing like this and Michael’s been caught off guard, feeling like he missed a step along the way.  

Michael doesn’t have time to analyze this feeling, Luke finding a boat and turning to look at Michael expectantly.  There’s a beat where Luke and Petunia look at Michael and Michael looks at them, each waiting for the other to make a move before Michael realizes that Luke’s never been on a boat before. He doesn’t know what to do.  Michael’s heart is filled with fondness and he steps down gently into the boat, turning to Luke and holding his arms out.

“Come on, I’ll help you,” Michael offers motioning to Luke to come closer. “I promise I won’t let anything bad happen.” 

Luke takes a caution step closer and once he’s in range, Michael grabs onto his waist and lifts him up, swinging him around. Luke shrieks, grabbing on tightly to Michael’s arms, until Michael sets him down gently on both feet. Michael looks up slightly at Luke and is struck by how close their noses are, how blue Luke’s eyes are. Michael’s breath catches and he still feels like he’s missing something, like there’s a step he’s missed along the way.

The moment places and Luke releases his hold on Michael, looking away and cautiously sitting down on the boat’s front bench. Michael unties the rope and takes a seat behind Luke, picking up the paddle and rowing them away from the dock.

“Where are we going Michael?”

“Well, it’s your birthday and you wanted to see the lanterns. Figured I’d give you the best seat in the house.” Michael ceases rowing, letting the boat come to a stop in the middle of the lake, the perfect place for the light show that’s about to start.

Luke falls silent, looking up at the darkening sky in wonder.  Petunia pops out of Luke’s hair, gazing up at the sky with him.  Michael’s heart aches for this boy.  They’ve been through so much over the last few days and Luke’s pushed through everything, determined and resilient each time, optimism never faltering.  He knows their adventure, their pact, was only supposed to last until Michael brought Luke here to the lanterns but Michael can’t find the words to tell Luke he doesn’t want this to end.  Michael’s not ready to have to walk Luke back to his tower and say goodbye to him. He’s only shown Luke a tiny fraction of what the world has to offer and he knows there’s so much out there for Luke.  Luke wasn’t meant to be locked away from everyone, trapped in his lofty prison, forced to gaze out on the world below in longing.  Michael feels like taking Luke back will be betraying this soft, sweet boy, who’s never looked at Michael with anything other than trust and affection, even when they were fighting bitterly the first few days.  Michael wants to give Luke one last present, wants to steal Luke away from his tower, from his mother, and show him the world, take him on adventure after adventure until they're old and gray and there’s nothing left to explore.  Wants to promise Luke that he’ll protect him from whatever waits out in the world for them, that he’ll be Luke's protector, his home, his family in the way Luke’s mentioned never having.  At the same time, Michael knows Luke is too wonderful, too amazing for Michael to keep. Even if Michael could steal him away, Luke’s talented, beautiful, artistic and free.  Eventually Luke will outgrow Michael and leave him for bigger, better things and it would be cruel of Michael to force him to stay, trapped again. 

Michael’s so caught up in his own thoughts, heart stuck in his throat and eyes wet, that he almost misses the sad sigh Luke lets out. He glances at the boy, sees Luke dip a hand into the water below and swirl it around.  He looks small and sad, like the Luke that tied Michael to a chair demanding to know who Michael was and if he was going to hurt him.  It breaks Michael’s heart to see the sweet, confident boy he’s gotten to know vanish.

“Lukey what’s wrong?”

“I’m terrified,” Luke whispers.

“Why?”

“I’ve been looking out a window for 20 years, dreaming about what it might feel like when those lights rise in the sky,” Luke looks up to the sky and Michael studies his profile in the moonlight. Sharp upturned nose, strong jawline, pink lips, framed by soft blonde curls falling around his face and pink flowers tucked into the folds of his hair.  Blue eyes shining in the moonlight. Michael tries to memorize this moment, catalogue it away for when there’s nothing left of Luke except this one perfect memory of this one perfect night. “Michael, what if it’s not everything that I dreamed it would be?”

“It will be,” Michael whispers back, reaching out and taking Luke’s hand. Luke looks back at him and Michael’s struck by the intensity of emotion in his eyes.

“And what if it is? What do I do then? Until a few days ago, I’d never left that tower and now I’m here. I did the one thing I always dreamed of. Where do I go now?”

“That’s the good part I guess Sunshine,” Michael reaches up to brush a stray curl behind Luke’s ear.  He hears Luke’s breath catch when Michael’s fingertips graze his earlobe. “You get to go find a new dream.”

They sit in silence, gazing at each other, Michael’s fingers caught in Luke’s hair.  It’s comfortable and peaceful.  Luke opens his mouth, but is distracted by the first lantern floating up into the sky and whips his head around to stare intently at it.  More lanterns follow it into the sky.  Luke scrambles to the front of the boat, gripping onto the wood tightly as he stares up at the night sky, candlelight lighting up the night sky and basking him in their glow.

There’s a few beats where Luke gazes at the sky with awe before he whips around to look at Michael, face full of despair. “Michael! I don’t have a lantern!”

“Don’t worry Sunshine,” Michael chuckles, pulling two lanterns from where he'd hidden them under the seat when Luke was getting his hair braided, lighting them, and holding one out of Luke.  “You didn’t think I’d forget the most important part of your present.” 

Luke makes his way back to the bench. Lowering himself down gently and reaching out to take the lantern. He pauses and then turns around, grabbing Michael’s satchel from under the bench and holding it out to Michael. “I have something for you too. I should have given it to you before, but I was scared. But I’m not scared anymore Michael. You helped me realize that and I want you to have it.” 

Michael realizes that Luke’s holding the crown out to him. The crown that Luke’s been holding on to for the entirety of their trip, as blackmail to keep Michael helping him. Michael’s not sure when his helping Luke stopped being about the crown, when it stopped being the most important part of this adventure, but Michael can’t find it in him to take the satchel from Luke. He shakes his head, holding the lantern out to Luke. “You keep it. Think of it as a...souvenir of your birthday adventure.”

Luke smiles softly, dropping the satchel, and taking the lantern from Michael’s waiting hands.  He looks expectantly at Michael, until Michael lets his go and Luke follows suit.  Luke watches in awe as the lanterns float up to join the rest of them.  He grabs Michael’s hand, pointing excitedly at a lantern floating towards them.  Luke lets his hand brush it, pushing it up towards the sky, smiling softly. 

Michael finds his eyes drawn to Luke, who’s leaning over the edge of the boat, illuminated in candlelight.  His hair practically glows in the warm light, eyes and face lit up with a smile.  Michael’s heart aches suddenly from the want that fills it.  Luke looks like the sun, bright and shining, glowing from within.  Michael knows about the magical whatever that Luke’s hair has with the glowing, but in this moment, Michael thinks that the glowing is just Luke.  Luke is bright and shining from within and Michael is hit with this overwhelming feeling of. Love. 

“Luke,” Michael whispers, tugging on Luke’s hand until Luke turns his face towards Michael.  His eyes are sparkling and there’s another curl falling into his eyes.  Michael, at a loss for what to say, gently brushes the curl from Luke’s face and tucks it behind his ear.  There’s a beat where Michael gazes into Luke’s eyes before he tugs Luke’s face forward with both hands and kisses him. Luke makes a noise of surprise before melting softly into the kiss.

Luke’s lips are warm and soft. Michael can feel Luke smiling against his lips.  He feels warm, basking here in Luke’s sunshine, pulling back from Luke to catch his breath, cradling Luke’s face in his palms.

Luke’s quiet for a moment, eyes closed and lips parted as he catches his breath.  Luke giggles and leans forward, burying his face into Michael’s neck.  He glances up at Michael through his lashes, smiling softly.  

“Hey Mikey.”

“Yeah Sunshine?”

“I think I found my new dream.”

Michael grins, feigning ignorance at Luke’s statement. “Oh really? What could that be?” 

Luke huffs, smacking Michael in the chest. “Michael!”

  “Okay okay Princess jeez. Yes, Luke I want to explore the world with you too. God, you make me do all the hard work in this relationship.” Michael rolls his eyes, but he pulls Luke in close to his chest in a hug. 

Luke snuggles in close to Michael, letting his eyes fall shut and smiling softly.  “Good because otherwise I’d have to send Petunia and Maximus after you.”

A laugh startles it’s way out of Michael and he leans down, kissing the top of Luke’s head.  In this moment, with the lanterns lighting up the sky and Luke basking in the warm glow, Michael decides that maybe he has a new dream too.

Day 23 - Good Captains Go Down With Their Ships @ygo5dsmonth2019​

Summary: When a confession doesn’t go to plan, at least Aki has someone to comfort her. Perhaps it wasn’t so bad that she didn’t get the answer she was looking for. Crow/Aki

Word Count: 1098

Aki sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day. Her tears had long run dry. She could get through this, that’s what she kept telling herself. She had to face the facts. Yusei didn’t love her, despite everything. Trusting her with Stardust Dragon, telling her she had a beautiful smile, quiet moments between just them two. After all that, she was just a friend and always had been.

She decided earlier that day to confess her feelings to Yusei. Despite still being in her first year of studying abroad in Germany, she decided it was the right time. A long distance relationship could still be on the cards. She chickened out the night she said goodbye to Yusei, but she was a little stronger now.

How quickly that changed.

Now, Aki was sitting alone in her dorm room. Her friends had gone home for the weekend. She doesn’t have that option, but she made the decision to go to Germany to become a doctor. She wanted to help people and this was the best way to get there.

Aki’s phone began to ring. She dreaded looking at the name. No, it wasn’t Yusei. Instead, it was Crow. She liked Crow, she found Crow the easiest to talk out of anyone who was in Team 5D’s. Despite all of his criminal markers, he was the least intimidating of all the guys.

“Hello?” Aki’s voice cracked. This was the first time she had spoken since the ill-fated video call.

“Hey Aki.” Crow sounded tired. “I’m back in Neo Domino for the next week-”

“Crow, I’m in Germany, remember?”

“Yeah, yeah, I know that.” Crow’s usual joking tone was missing. Aki knew something was wrong. “One of the kids is sick and I’m just wondering-”

“What’s wrong with them?” Aki smiled, this wasn’t the first time that this had happened. Crow loved his kids, it made Aki respect him that much more. “Who is it?”

“Ah, it’s Hikari. Poor kid has the worst immune system, even by Satellite standards.” Crow chuckled, although it sounded somewhat forced. Crow described her symptoms, and Aki knew it wasn’t serious. She suggested some types of medicine, even if she couldn’t remember the brand names, and plenty of rest. “Aki, you’re a lifesaver.”

“Don’t thank me, it’s what I’m training to do.”

“I should thank you,” Crow insisted. “You’re good at this stuff and I’d be lost without you.” Aki couldn’t help but flush at his words.

“So I guess you’re off to the pharmacy now?” Aki asked. She didn’t want Crow to hang up, she needed some sunshine right now.

“In a minute,” he hummed. There was a pause. “So I was talking to Yusei earlier.”

Oh no.

“What did he say?” Aki tried to keep her voice calm, but she knew she was failing.

“I’m sorry,” was all he said.

“Thanks,” Aki’s voice was dry. She didn’t want sympathy.

“If it helps, I’ve been there.” Aki squinted in confusion. “It gets better.”

“Wait, what? Who?”

“I liked this girl, but she liked someone else. I got over it, I guess. I can talk to her now without completely wanting to die.”

“Are you saying Yusei likes someone else?”

“You weren’t there for the Yusei and Kiryu stuff, but yeah, he does.” Aki exhaled slowly. She hadn’t looked at Kiryu in that way, she assumed he was just an old friend. Suddenly, things started to make sense.

“Who’s this girl anyway?” Aki needed something to distract her, and this would do.

“Ah, it’s no one.” Crow suddenly sounded nervous, then it clicked in Aki’s mind.

“Crow, do- did you like me?”

“Ah shit,” was Crow’s response. “I mean-”

“Be honest.”

“Okay, fine. I may have liked you back then, but I’m over it now.”

There was silence on the line as Aki processed everything. Crow liked her. It didn’t seem real.

“That must have been rough.” She finally said. “I was such an idiot back then, and now I suppose. My life revolved around Yusei back then.” It was true. She had taken a class in Physics, just so he could help her with her homework. “God, I’m so pathetic.”

“You’re not pathetic.” Crow chuckled weakly. “No one’s pathetic here in the Broken Hearts Club.”

“Broken Hearts Club?” Aki echoed, she couldn’t help but laugh. “How long did you even like me?”

“Well, I liked you the first moment I ever saw you. And I gave up when you moved away. You told me that you wanted to confess to Yusei, remember?”

“Oh gods, I did.” Aki put her face in her hands. “I’m so sorry, I didn-”

“You didn’t know. I know. It’s okay.”

“I still want to apologise.” Aki sighed. “I idolised him. I couldn’t shut up about him. And all you did was support me. I can’t imagine how hard that was for you. Thank you.”

“Ah, don’t worry about it. At least, I still get to be your friend.” She could hear the sad smile in Crow’s voice.

Friend. That word stuck with Aki. Maybe that’s what was wrong all along. She idolised Yusei. He saved her from Divine, and herself. She looked up to him. She wanted to be like him, and with him. She remembered the last time she felt that. Divine.

Crow was different. They were friends. Equals. That’s what should be the base of a relationship, she realised. Crow wasn’t so bad. He was handsome, despite his many criminal markers.

She found herself thinking of Crow differently now. Perhaps it was the half confession, or the fact Crow never said that he stopped liking her, only that he gave up on pursuing her. Suddenly, she pictured herself with Crow. She wasn’t ready now. Hell, she wasn’t even sure if she properly liked him. But, the thought of it was appealing, and that was new. Maybe one day, she thought to herself, now that Crow doesn’t have to give up on her completely.

“Yeah, that’s a great thing to be.”

Bonus:

Later that night, Aki’s phone buzzed. She was sleepy and her eyes blurred as she looked at the screen. It was a text from Crow.

Crow: u up? wanna video chat? promise i wont make you cry lol

10/rose, n43 please and thank you?

43. control/loss of control

It’s been two years since he lost her. Two years since he bottled up his grief and anger and rage and swallowed it down, buried beneath too-broad grins and a manic crook of his eyebrow. He has learned the art of control without her there as an anchor. He has learned how to stop feeling altogether--hopping from planet to planet, century to century, always running. 

And then through sheer force of will and ingenuity, she’s back. She’s alive and breathing and all soft curves and sunshine in his arms. 

His yellow and pink girl is back and his carefully checked control snaps, breaks inside of him until he can’t remember why he ever thought it was wrong for them to be together like this. 

His hand slips into hers and drags her away from the console room and into his bedroom. The TARDIS slides the door open for him, his hands already full of Rose Tyler. 

Once they’re in the room, her hands push at the lapels of his overcoat and with it, the last vestiges of his control. He pushes long, spindly fingers into her hair and tilts her head back as his mouth takes hers, lips demanding and insistent on hers. 

She sighs against him, takes his anger and grief and relief and swallows it down. Her hands curl into his suit jacket and tug him impossibly closer. His tongue brushes against hers and he thinks he may taste stardust and the copper tang-wrongness of an alternate universe. 

He presses closer, slips his hands beneath her jumper and strokes the soft skin of her belly, and chases the taste of her into the back of her mouth. When his tongue strokes over the roof of her mouth, she keens and scrapes her nails through his hair and down his neck, her hips rolling against his. 

“Doctor,” she groans, mouth pulling away from his and tilting her head back, offering him her neck. He growls and fastens his mouth to the study thrum of her pulse, sucking and laving in time with each pound of her heart. 

Each beat against his tongue reminds him that she’s alive, she’s here, she’s back, she’s his.

And then he’s breaking against her, the rush and relief gone and in its place something softer, quieter. He wraps his arms around her and buries his face into the juncture of shoulder, shuddering against her.

He’s lost planets and entire civilizations and somehow losing Rose Tyler feels akin to losing Gallifrey all over again. She is essential. 

The Doctor presses kisses to her neck and shoulder and exposed collarbone, his nose nuzzling her skin and inhaling the smell of her: flowers and cotton and sweat and Rose.

“I missed you,” she whispers against the side of his head, her hands stroking through his hair and squeezing the base of his neck. “God, I missed you.”

The Doctor licks his lips and pulls her tighter against him before pulling away, raising his hand and brushing the back of his fingers against her cheek. Her eyes close and press into his touch. 

He could tell her that he was lost without her--meaner, crueler, less sympathetic without her. He could tell her that she holds both of his hearts in her hands. He could tell her that he can’t--won’t--let her go.

Instead he tangles their fingers together and raises their joined hands to his lips, pressing a kiss where their hands weave. “Well, Rose Tyler,” he says, lips brushing against her fingers with each word spoken, enjoying the way her eyes sparkle with mischief. “How do you feel about wandering the universe and seeing some stars with a mad old man in a mad old box?”

She bites her lip and grins at him and he sees stars and adventure and life reflected back at him. 

“I thought you’d never ask, Doctor.”

Virtual Sketchbook Session 3

A Memorial to Young Womanhood

“Lifesize” Sculpture in Bronze on a granite base with inscription by Constance Witherby. Located on Blackstone Blvd, near the intersection of Clarendon St.

Gail Sherman Corbett, Sculptor

 First, I will discuss the sculptor, Gail Sherman Corbett (1871-1952). Corbett was both a sculptor and a painter.  She was a native of Syracuse, New York; studied sculpture in New York at the Arts Students League. She later moved to Paris to study art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. After returning to the US, Corbet began works such as memorial tablets and portrait busts.

(Sherman) married Harvey Corbett, a fellow sculptor, and they became a remarkable team. Together, they designed the Hamilton White Memorial in Syracuse, NY. Harvey went on to be one of the world’s leading designers in skyscrapers, such as Rockefeller Center. Being a woman in that age and time, Gail was limited to smaller projects. Although she is well known for her work in sculptures, she also went on to paint many cityscapes, mainly in a neo-impressionist style.

This particular sculpture, “A Memorial to Young Womanhood,” also known as “The Spirit of Youth,” by Corbett, was dedicated in 1930 in a small park also dedicated to the author of the poem on the base, Constance Witherby. It was moved to its current location toward the end of the 20th century. The inscription at the base of the sculpture reads, “The wind roars by I feel it blow, and know that I am free to go.”

Next, I will discuss the poet. Constance Witherby (1913-1929) was a young girl who attended a private school in this same area of Providence, Lincoln School. Although a young teen, Witherby was a talented poet. Unfortunately, she passed away of an unexpected heart attack while vacationing with her family in the Swiss Alps at the young age of sixteen. A year later, her mother published a book of her daughter’s poems. This is called “Sunshine and Stardust.”

I have to say, when I came upon this sculpture, it stopped me in my tracks. I hadn’t seen it since I was a younger (I moved away when I was 21), and I remember gazing up at it on my many walks and bike rides as a child. Until now, I never knew the backstory on the sculpture of the girl.

To me, Witherby captured the essence of a young teen. Not quite an adult, but no longer a child, right down to her gazing, daydreaming eyes. I love that it was placed on the “Boulevaad,” as we lovingly call it. Witherby’s surviving brother, Frederich Witherby actually paid for trees, shrubs and two granite benches to be put at the site of the statue upon its arrival. The life-like sculpture reminds me of being a child, hair blowing in the wind, not a care in the world, except the innocence of play and daydreams.

Glitter and Stardust - Chapter 9

Glitter and Stardust: (Cross Posted to WattPad )

Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Riley Matthews got the shock of her life when she realized that her best friend Maya Hart had feelings for the boy Riley had been in love with since middle school. Instead fighting for the love her Lucas Friar, Riley stepped back so that her friend would have the chance at a relationship with him. The only problem was that Riley was hurting on the inside. Riley decides to hop onto the first train the Philadelphia to go see her Uncle Josh in hopes of gaining perspective on where she should stand in the relationships between the two people she cares about the most. Or will this trip cause more heartache for her?

Chapters [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [8.5]

*Just in case I haven’t mentioned this before, but the characters are aged up in this story, they’re seniors in High School because I wanted to do more mature themes.... and I wanted to write about them in college.

Chapter 9 – Back to School

Riley and her mother went to the doctor early in the morning so that Topanga could make it to court later that morning. Riley was getting a shorter cast and a boot so that she could get around easier. When they were done Topanga drove to Abigail Adams High School so that Riley could get to school.

“You know sweetie you don’t have to go back to school today, you could stay home and rest for an extra day,” Topanga said to her daughter.

“No mom I need to go back, if I spend another day locked away in that house I’m going to become a feral creature. I just need a little bit of normal. I have my boot and my crutch and my books, and I’m ready to go to class. Even though my first class is dad’s history class but I’ll be happy just sitting there and not the couch or my bed.”

“Alright, just make sure you go to the office and give them the note from the doctor so that you can get the elevator key.”

“Will do, Thanks for the ride mom,” Riley said and pulled her mother into a hug.

Riley stepped out of the car trying to balance herself for the first time on the crutch, the doctor only gave her one because he didn’t want her to rely on using it for too long, she was only supposed to use it for the next week and afterwards she would have to hobble around until they took the cast off her leg. As clumsy as she was she knew that this was going to be a disaster from the moment she started to climb the stairs one by one. Thankfully the office was not far from the front doors of the school so she didn’t have to walk too long before she got the elevator key. The first period was going to end soon so she made her way towards her locker so that she could put her backpack inside.

“How am I going to get around,” she said to herself as she reached the elevator that would take her to her locker by the hole. She remembered when the seniors had put them inside when she was a freshman and now she was close to graduating too.

The bell rang as she got towards her locker, “Just in time,” she said thankfully since she was able to avoid the rush of people trying to get to their next class.

“Ugh, you’re back, I was hoping you would stay away for the rest of the year,” a voice said from behind her. Riley knew that it was Missy but she didn’t turn around to acknowledge the girl who has been relentlessly bullying her since middle school. “Just so you know Lucas is mine now that your little gal pal is dating that Josh guy, so don’t even think of going near him.”

That made Riley turn around and look at Missy’s smug face, “Oh didn’t you get the memo?” Riley said smiling at Missy. “Lucas is my boyfriend, so you stay away from him.”

“That’s bull, he hasn’t said anything about dating anyone ever since I found out him and Maya broke up.”

“Just ask him yourself, considering I’m sure that you’re the last person he would talk too.”

“I will,” she said before storming off.

Riley knew that she shouldn’t antagonize Missy but after everything that had happened and the fact that she had been stuck at home for nearly a month she just couldn’t handle being bullied again. As the late bell rung Riley began her hobble towards her father’s classroom, when she walked in the whole room went silent and her friends looked up at her.

“Hi,” she said trying to smile. “Surprise.”

“Riles finally I don’t think I can handle another day without you,” Maya said as she hugged her best friend.

“Hey sunshine,” Lucas said helping pry Maya off. “Need help with your books?”

“Yes please,” she said as he took her books from her hand and placing them on her desk at the front of the class.

“It’s good to see you up and about Miss Matthews, now that everyone is settled let’s get started with our unit on World War II. It was a war unlike any other, one that would place the entire world in conflict. But it was also one that would bring together the world’s strongest nations to battle against one regime.”

History class went by smoothly and when the bell rang Lucas and Maya automatically moved to help Riley out of the room, Lucas was in her next class so he was going to help her get there.

“This is not fun,” she said as she hobbled through the hallway. “There’s too many people here.”

“Well that’s a New York City school for you, it’s overcrowded just like the city but we’re going to help you no matter what,” Maya said.

“So are we going to Topanga’s to study after school?” Farkle asked following behind them.

“Yes please I want a bulochki, and I um don’t want to go home for a while. I was trapped inside for too long. Although I do have sweet dreams now thanks to you all but I also want to walk around or at least hobble for a while.”

“Alright Riles we’ll go and study and try to keep you from going home for as long as we can, well at least until before dinner because you should probably be home for dinner, by the way I’m coming over tonight,” Maya said but Riley knew it was because Josh was going to have dinner with them.

“Okay Peaches,” Riley said smiling at her best friend.

Riley hobbled throughout the school for the rest of the day and it had taken a toll on her by the time the last bell had rung. She was tired from trying to walk around and she knew that she should just go home but she wanted just a little more time with her friends. As she went to her locker to get her backpack and her coat she heard Missy talking to a bunch of girls behind her.

“I don’t need this now,” she said to herself. Riley knew that there was only so much of Missy Bradford that she could take in one day.

“Oh my god, can you believe how needy she is. I bet that thing on her leg is fake just to get sympathy from other people. I just hope they can see how fake she is before she drags them down,” Missy said to her group of friends making sure that Riley would hear her.

I will not let her get to me, I’ll be fine, she thought to herself as she put her coat on.

“Hello my daughter,” her father said from behind her.

“Hey dad, um is it okay to go to the bakery with everyone today?” she asked him knowing that she should have brought it up earlier in the day.

“Yes as long as you’re home by six for dinner, just don’t overdo it please.”

“I’ll try my best, plus I heard that my history teacher is going to give a test on World War II so I need to study,” she smiled at her dad.

“It won’t be too hard as long as you study, I’ll pick you up if you want me to.”

“Yeah that would be nice, plus that means Maya and I wouldn’t have to walk home.”

“Okay be ready at a quarter to six.”

“Yes dad,” she said as he walked away.

Riley went to the elevator to get to the front so that she could meet her friends on the first floor. The school secretary had told her that she wasn’t allow to ride the elevator with any other student, it was a privilege that was given to a few people in the school. When she hobbled off the elevator she noticed Missy throwing herself onto of Lucas. When Missy saw Riley she smiled.

“Oh Lucas you’re so wild,” Missy said but Lucas just looked at her confused.

“Missy get the hell off of him you’re degrading yourself,” Riley said infuriated at her. She knew that Lucas wouldn’t do a thing, but he also wouldn’t hurt a girl by tossing her aside so he had stood there frozen in shock.

“What do you mean? He wants me don’t you Lucas?”

“I certainly do not Missy but since you threw yourself at me I didn’t know how to handle pushing you aside without too much force. Riley’s right what you’re doing is degrading, why are you like this.”

“Because it’s supposed to be my turn, I’ve waited for you since middle school but every time I got close that freaking tramp got in the way, why can’t we be together now.”

“Because he doesn’t like you Missy, he likes me, he’s always liked me, and who are you calling a tramp?” Riley was too pissed at Missy for doing what she was doing but she was also pissed that Missy was spreading around rumors about Riley.

“Screw you,” Missy said before storming off.

“Riley I’m sorry she just threw herself at me, she almost kissed me but my reflexes were quick on that one,” Lucas said as he walked towards her.

“Lucas it’s okay, she’s already started a smear campaign against me today so I knew she was going to try something with you. I’m just afraid of what she was going to do if she doesn’t get her way.”

“So am I, for now let’s just get to Topanga’s and study since we have a test this week. We’ll figure out the rest as it comes along.”

“Okay,” she said as they walked out of the school. “One thing at a time.”

—WARNING : suspect may be armed and dangerous! ELLIOT ALEXANDER CHO, code named ERIDANUS, is a CREW MEMBER on an unidentified firefly-class ship, traveling through the ‘Verse under the radar. They are known for being sociable, sensible, and impressionable, but beneath the surface, they have proven to be insatiable, emotional, and lazy. Although their origin lies somewhere on their home planet HIGGIN’S MOON, they have been caught by stardust and lost to the great expanse.

YOU ARE YOUR OWN EXPLOSION, BRING US YOUR VERY BEST VIOLENCE.

Elliot takes his time with the promise of creativity and efficiency. This may be the result of a long life working as a mudder for a man who demanded diligent physical force and emotional discipline. Watching his male counterparts being arrested and beaten by legal enforcement for slander against Higgins and “public disturbance” due to civil unrest taught him at an early age that the only movement left was the individual’s movement – The individual’s ability to seek a new perspective. Being granted the role as an older brother at the time served as the ultimate encouragement for him to become a man, and in turn obliged familiarization with himself as someone else’s elder. He taught his little brother to never stop questioning authority, to never cease to resist. Elliot taught his brother that the mind was the only safe place for people like them. That there, in one’s own head, is the key to freedom. To Elliot, treading along the days wearing the head of a mindless machine meant to surrender to a higher power, and he was relentless to differ those who claimed power over him, because there was a face to that so-called higher power and he wanted to tear it from existence. The name of that false God being Higgins.

THERE IS NO NEWS, THERE IS ONLY THE TRUTH OF THE SIGNAL.

Working on Higgin’s moon, Elliot was born into a family that, with him, completed a total of five. As the years went by, the numbers rose and also diminished. From his eldest brother, to his father and then his mother, one by one they passed, but not before his parents would leave him one last ray of Sunshine; his little brother. Completing the role of someone’s elder became his most abundant pride and joy. To be able to look upon someone with hope rather than fear, he made it his main priority to aid his older siblings and motivate their family to do better for the whole.

Being a mudder was brutal labor. For this reason and many more (such as malnutrition and severe mental and biological disease left untreated), many did not survive. But the people were humble and this made life beautiful. The people were broken by a system that failed to recognize their humanity, or better yet, deliberately ignored it. Elliot was a one-sided observer in a world ridden in tyranny. The population was so low and the homes made available were so few that one could say that there were limited prospects to life. Even the air felt scarce for the few people that lived there. Because of this, Elliot would often work holding his breath, and it was no different for his sister and two brothers that worked alongside him. And when he was arranged a marriage with a girl two years younger than him, he could have never guessed that another devastation lay ahead when she gave birth to their baby girl, Samantha, and passed.

But this all had its role in Elliot’s ultimatum. With his experiments rationing food for such a large household, Elliot was able to study the medicinal usage of consumables and how to more fairly distribute them. Higgin’s put great emphasis on having a local produce that had no room for environmental defects – And at least at was one thing everyone could agree on. However, this also meant a lack of zest in their cuisine. Elliot had to struggle to find new supplies that didn’t mean force-feeding his family the same starch-based, genetically modified products. Being one of the only people nonconforming with the daily “mudders milk” just to be able to stand up, Elliot was driven to nourish his family by ran-sacking the only green house within thirty miles and to do this he would walk. His own two feet and twenty ounces of water, to put a smile on the faces of those he loves.

Samantha was married off, and Elliot entrusted her husband with taking care of her and her elders once he’d left. The captain of the Serenity Ship had discovered Elliot’s ability and had him join their crew. And how could anyone convince him otherwise? He did, of course, occupy himself the night before his departure to write them a short guide – a cook-book, if you will. This did not stop his daughter from resenting him, and pulling an attitude during his departure, but once she’d looked into his eyes and seen the hope and the youth that she had never seen in him before, forgiveness fell upon her, and they shared a hug. Before he left, everyone shared a hug, and he can still remember praying that these hugs would repeat themselves onboard the Serenity Firefly Class Ship.
