to add on to the humans are space orcs/earth is the universe's australia, sensing. my therapist has recently explained that its not normal the way i know who and where someone is by their footsteps. not just the sound, but the vibrations. if someone isnt purposely walking on light feet, i can tell who and where they are, even with headphones blaring. imagine a human on a ship and the awe-filled terror itd earn from their non-human crewmates.

edit: ive realized i wasnt clear enough in my intentions. im not saying "if you can tell peoples footsteps apart, youve been ✨️ T R A U M A T I Z E D ✨️ d-(^♡^)-b ". its about the inherent panic in Not hearing the steppies and therefore Not having the time to prepare yourself for whoever might be approaching and essentially being ambushed. also, being able to tell if someone is normalTM, happy, sad, et cetera. the combined terror of not being given time to make oneself "presentable" for whoevers coming, And Also whoever has just seemingly teleported is fucking pissed, which is never good. Anyways, enjoy!!! ＼(^o^)／

Gilith enters the library, searching for Human Raven. They seem to be found most often either here or in one of the many gardens on the ship. Human Alex said he'd likely find them here today.

Gilith pokes his head through the doorway, not seeing Human Raven, but before he can move on, a voice calls out from one of the high-backed chairs decorating the library.

"Hello Lithy, what do you need?"

Gilith sputters, "Wha- Human Raven, how did you know it was me?" Gilith makes his way over to the chair that held Human Raven in a twisted knot that, when Human Raven stood up, would surely leave a horrifying crunch Human Alex had likened to a human candy that exploded in one's mouth.

"You've got some loud stompers, Lithy."

"I do not know what that means, Human Raven."

Raven stands, causing Gilith to flinch at many snaps and crackles of their bones settling into place, and smiles up at his towering form.

"What did you need?"

Gilith notices more and more Human Raven's greetings. He thought maybe they could hear him coming, but they greeted him while wearing ear speakers, the volume so loud, Gilith could hear it from a few feet away.

Humans did not have psychic skills, and the only other human who seemed capable of a preemptive greeting was Human Alex. The two seemed to share all of their off-hours, so maybe that was where he could find his answers.

Gilith scoured the many gardens, stopping just outside of the doorway. He could hear Human Alex and Human Raven chattering to each other, but neither seemed to notice his presence.

In an attempt not to disturb them, he walked with what Human Bea had described as "tip-toes". A challenging feat, considering his round flat feet, but he managed.

Both Human Raven and Human Alex had their backs to him, so he coughed in the same way Human Bea often did to get everyone's attention.

The reaction he got was unexpected when both Human Raven and Human Alex flinched so hard their shoulders seemed to lock.

"My apologies! I didn't mean to startle you," he rushed over, but stopped short when they both flinched again. He recoiled his hand.

"It's ok, Lithy," Raven says, voice slightly choked. "Just give us a sec."

"Oh. Okay." Gilith turned his eyes down.

"What-" Alex started, his voice sounding as though it was rubbed raw. He cleared his throat and tried again. "What can we do for you, Gilith?"

"I did not have anything specific to talk to you about. I wanted to..." he trails off. "I wanted to inform you of the new plants we are picking up at the next trade planet."

Gilith feels his face twist with the lie, but now didn't seem like a good time to ask.

His desire to understand, however, doesn't fade after the incident. It only makes his hunger grow.

Instead of bothering Human Alex or Human Raven, Gilith decides to ask Human Bea, who does not sense him before he greets her.

"Hello, Human Bea."

"Yes, hello, Gilith. Is everything okay?"

"I have question."

Bea tilts her head. "Ask away."

"Are you- humans- able to detect someone before you see them?"

Bea's face softens into an aching sort of frown. "Not naturally."

"What do you mean?"

She takes a breath, seemingly preparing herself. "Well, most people are able to live in a relatively safe place. But some people aren't as lucky. Some people have to memorize the falls of others' feet. It's a learned survival tactic."

"I don't understand," Gilith says, his face wrinkling in confusion.

"Some people aren't safe, so for the ones who weren't born with the good luck of a safe home, they have to know who and where someone is. They have to know if they need to hide or prepare themself. They have to know if they're in danger or not."

Gilith feels his whole body go slack as a wave of sadness washes over him at the memory of Human Raven and Human Alex's reaction to his sudden appearance.

"I have loud stompers."

Bea's face scrunches up as though she's trying not to laugh. "You do. You have safe stompers, too."

[juhihuji]

do u have any random facts or things about Depth of heaven and ur characters (sfw or nsfw 🤭) even if what you want never comes to light, I really enjoy reading the concepts and asks about ur OCs

Hehehe I haven't thought about the characters and their story in a long time, until recently...but I never put a huge amount of thought into them before either! I kinda just knew I...wished I could make something cool that had everything I wanted in that kind of game lmao. Even if it doesn't happen, I felt like I wanted there to be twists and secrets...if it never happens then nobody but me will ever know about them, huh! But, if it does happen then I'll spoil stuff for later! What to do...ah I'll share about it! But I'm giving it a spoiler warning for something that doesn't exist anyway lmao Also I'm not a writer or a scientist this is all wacky world rules ok xd also there might be inconsistencies idk I never wrote anything down I'll tell u their heights! June: 5'4 Puzzle: 6'3 Koa: 5'6 Adam: 6'1 Keizo: 6'7 Lloyd: 5'11 Static: 6' Cyril: 5'9 Holly: 5'7

In high school June and Puzzle were da weeaboos who listened to vocaloid on their phones at lunch. Puzzle wore cat ears, big headphones, and tutus to school. I think....I decided that because of her old bad design lmao. I thought I had a drawing of her in cat ears but I can't find it 😔 June prolly just wore hoodies and graphic t-shirts. They were each others prom dates! June wore a tux! Okay spoilery stuff ahead!

I have a general idea what I want the story to be, but right now I just see it as disjointed scenes in my head. I posted some June and Puzzle wearing dresses where I wanted a scene to happen in a casino on the ship. Cruise ship casinos are kinda lame though lol, but it'll be as big and cool as I want >:•3 and it's an excuse to have everyone in cool formal wear cuz that's always fun! The cult leader calls for a big party on the ship and everyone has to attend! It's also where he culls the herd...because not everyone is worthy of going to heaven...apparently Koa likes playing video games! He's on the top of the leaderboard for one MMO, and during one event the top prize was blueprints for an in-game item: roller skates! It would make for cool merch to put on your wall or something. There was a rumor among the playerbase that the blueprints could make skates that function as they do in the game. Koa won the prints then used them to custom build his own skates (they look kinda generic now but I haven't put a lot of thought into their design lmao). The combination of materials used and construction give them a magical quality that allows him to skate faster than any human could! He's always pushing his limits, and sometimes it gets him in twubble xd Keizo has an issue with bad dreams...at night he replays all the times in his life where people were rude to him or each other, how he needs to keep peace between them, he just really hates assholes! He has nightmares about them treating him badly and there's nothing he can do, because at his height and with his strength he'd come off as the bad guy no matter what! They push and push 'til he's about to snap...then he wakes up! The rage super heats his blood and his skin glows red and steam pours out his ears! His hair is all wacky cuz it holds it's shape on the pillow from all the heat lmao June and the rest of them find out about it when they see steam coming out from under his door at night. Don't wake him up though! If he's still glowing hot he'll sleep walk while in a berserk state. First, it makes him really rude himself lmao. He'll say all the nasty things he won't when he's awake! Second, if he sees someone doin' shit he don't like, they're gettin' these 🤜🤛 In his happy ending you'd see him with his hair flat for the first time wouldn't that be nice :•3 Adam is always doing experiments on himself, kinda just for shits, kinda because he wants to discover something amazing....!.....?!?!??! When he was younger, his sister, who he loved v much, died. He wanted to become a doctor, not because he wanted to find a cure for the thing that killed his sister...because she died in an accident! He wanted to find a way to make people invincible! He's always injecting himself with stuff hoping it'll make him stronger. He likes Keizo as a friend, but to Adam Keizo is a perfect specimen of an indestructable human. Adam's been fascinated with him for a while, but Keizo also just makes for a good subject for testing against! Also, they met when Adam was studying abroad and Keizo came up on a motorbike and attacked the wheels on Adam's scooter. Cute! :•) Keizo used to be a bad boy :•( Other experiments Adam's done: Eyesight like a HAWK Cat ears but for real Jelly bones(?) Longer ween 😳 Lloyd is a stinky tech wiz who likes playing around with AI's and robotics! He has myassive myega brains and he monitors many of the functions of the ship by himself in his server room. When the captain is captured and thrown off the ship, Lloyd uses his know-how and special accesses to make sure the cult doesn't make a mess of everything. He knows about and can see everything that happens on the ship...for fun he likes video games toooo! And plays with Koa! He likes buildin' lil gadgets n tings for fun too! They can come in real handy! nsfw! Stuff past here!!!!!!!!! June, Koa, and Lloyd are all inexperienced!

As a lover, Keizo tries to be gentle...but once he gets into it he can be a bit rough! If you're into it, just enjoy! Or speak up and he'll slow down! Hmmm I was inspired by a scene from the film Crying Freeman (which I haven't actually watched 8•|) of some ppl doin' it in a closet(?)...it's all dark and cramped and humid and their skin is so shiny and glistening it's probably the thing that awoken me to drawing people super sweaty. I just can't help myself 😳 def wanna give Keizo a scene like that. This doodle was inspired by it actually lmao

Adam is patient and gentle! Lots of kisses and verbal reassurance and checking in w/ u. He's aware of his age and he doesn't wanna come off badly so he'll let you do all the pursuing. And June will pursue him hard if she has to! He's also gonna make you beg and ask, just so he's sure sure :•) He loves to sit her up on the examining table n do things wit his mouf n fingers 😳 I'd probably make it an option to call him daddy in certain scenarios...up to u if u choose it find out what happens for urself idk 😳😳😳 or don't

Koa likes to tease you, maybe bully you a lil, but when it comes to intimacy he's a wimp! I just like the idea of making the bully bend to your will, but he likes it. It just feels good to wipe that cocky smile off his face! Step on him! Make him whimper! I know June's a virg too, but Koa is just so easy to tease it makes it feel like second nature. BUT the more time they spend together, the more confident Koa becomes. So! Enjoy havin' him under your thumb while you can cuz it might not last forever! Lloyd tries to stay composed when June starts showing an interest. He's usually alone in his server room, but secretly appreciates her company when she comes by. At first he'll act like he's too busy. He's not used to being around women! As his interest in June grows it becomes harder to hide his feelings! So June notices...and teases him! Cuz it's just so easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyYYYYYYY 😩 Seeing his serious expression crack when you put ur hands in his pants is lots of fun :•3 And he shows you a voice he's never shown anyone else before 🤤 He does his research and with your help he'll learn exactly how to worship u 😌 IF it ever happens there has to b a new game plus where u unlock threesome scenes with Koa/Lloyd and Adam/Keizo :•x That's all 4 now! Sorry I'm fuckin' gross and don't know how to type :•|

Hey there, Gravi fans! ヾ(＾∇＾)

OK, random, but I was bumming around today, googling Gravitation and Murakami-sensei with Japanese text searches and I came across a few twitter posts I wanted to share just for the fun of it. Lol.

Soooo... here we gooooo! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆  *✲ﾟ*｡⋆  *✲ﾟ*｡⋆

Tweet 1 that caught my attention was originally posted, Dec 23, 2018, looks like Gravitation was in some anthology of sorts called, 'Baby Comics Extra' and the twitter user is a BL artist as well, and the translated tweet mentions that she wrote a two part essay about Gravitation that was published in this particular issue of Baby Comics Extra, and she also drew an illustration of Shuichi and Yuki which I thought looked really awesome and badass! ✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡

https://twitter.com/kitazawa_k/status/1076762974893662208

Tweet 2 that caught my attention made me laugh so hard. This tweet was originally posted, May 1, 2017. This twitter user seemed to like Gravi in the beginning, but they were raging about Murakami-sensei creating all her porn comics and posted this: 漫畫家 #村上真紀 is 人渣  which translated to: 'Cartoonist #murakami maki is scum'.

I'm used to coming across some occasional Gravi and Murakami slander on the English side of twitter, and I didn't expect to come across a tweet like this, so I just found it funny. Like, whew, chill haters. 

(￣x￣;) Lmfao.

https://twitter.com/kingkaiwang/status/859206421665136641

One of the many reasons why I love Murakami-sensei soooo much is from the very beginning she's always done what she wanted to do with her stories/creative works without a single damn given, and continues to do so. And because of that we have the truly one-of-a-kind, incomparable to any other BL series Gravitation, and not to mention Murakami's other creative works.

We love and adore you Murakami-sensei you brave, funny, unique, talented queen! \ \ \٩(｡•ㅅ•｡)و/ / /

Here's Tweet 3 that was posted this year, Jun 13, 2020.

https://twitter.com/i_am_miyako_/status/1271822774571393030

It says: 村上真紀先生やっぱり天才だな…………………    Which translated to: 'Maki Murakami-sensei is still a genius…………………'

Damn right she is!!! \ \ \٩(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و/ / /

These two tweets below show super impressive collections shared by two different Japanese Gravi fans. I just wanted to share the impressive hoard of goodies.

Tweet 4, this was posted May 5, 2016.

https://twitter.com/uniuniiii1017/status/728242606539313153

Tweet 5 was posted this year, Jun 12, 2020.

https://twitter.com/HibiCureMelody/status/1271379552703361024

I just want tumblr Gravi fans to know that even though the Gravi fandom may seem small, it is still alive and kicking with many super dedicated fans from around the world.

I hope anyone that reads this found some entertainment from it. （＾ω＾）Stay safe, and keep lovin' Gravi everyone! (/^▽^)/

＼＼\ ٩(๑❛ワ❛๑)و //／／ *sends digital squishy hugs to you all!*

.......................

But one more thing!

Bonus! *✲ﾟ*｡⋆  *✲ﾟ*｡⋆  *✲ﾟ*｡⋆ (๑ゝڡ◕๑)b

I wanted to share one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, like one of my ALL TIME favorite, Gravi songs with you all-- (like seriously, I love this song sooooo fucking much, like...sooooo fu...cking MUCH!!! *hunches over and sobs*) This song isn't currently on YouTube, and it is.... *drum roll*....

Messenger ～時の使者達～

!!!!!! *screeches internally*

Messenger (Messenger of Time), is from Gravitation Drama CD Vol.3, which features a sexy Ryuichi with Tatsuha in a provocative pose. It looks like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Gravitation-Drama-CD-Vol-3/dp/B000BV7Y2U

Close up of front cover: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71-6bZ-fFAL._SL1050_.jpg

You can see the song (Messenger ～時の使者達～) listed on the second image, or the back cover: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71LURt1wXDL._SL1090_.jpg

The drama CD that containers Messenger ～時の使者達～ is quite pricey... on the English side of amazon at least. This song is sung by the great Tomakazu Seki, which is our dear Shuichi's voice actor in Japanese, of course! Anyway, the song was uploaded a few times over the years on NicoVideo, or Niconico. Here:

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm7376164

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1281293

Also, Messenger has been confused (by myself, and from looking online it seems others) to be on Gravitation Sound Story III, which is this:

https://www.amazon.com/Vol-3-Gravitation-Sound-Story-Japanimation/dp/B00006963N

Front cover has Shuichi and Ryuichi: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71jQHCz9XyL._SL1050_.jpg

Back cover: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71vEIbQ9P%2BL._SL1135_.jpg

Gravitation Sound Story III contains the song: Predilection

(Another one of my ABSOLUTE, I mean, my ABSOLUTE fucking favorites *dies*)

Gravitation Drama CD Vol.3 contains, again: Messenger ～時の使者達～

Here's Predilection, btw. Sung by Kappei Yamaguchi, Ryuichi's voice actor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9AbxAXGEho

I recommend listening to Predilection and Messenger ～時の使者達～ with headphones and the volume turned generously up. And for an extra epic experience, have a fan turned on nearby to blow your hair while you bang your head/dance to the music. Lol. xD

*coughs* using online video downloaders/mp3 converters can get you Messenger from niconico *coughs* Examples:

audio.online-convert [.] com/convert-to-mp3   ----   for non-Y*u t*be videos *coughs* you would use this on NicoVideo *coughs*

ytmp3 [.] cc/en13/   ----   for Y*u t*be videos *coughs*

Also, if you're interested, lyrics for Messenger ～時の使者達～ (and another video containing the song) can be found on this fan blog:

Thanks for your time everyone! Stay rockin'! (*≧▽≦)/

A Life On The Road - Part 1 (A Luke Hemmings FanFic)

Overview: Elizabeth and Calum have been best friends since they were 15/14 respectively. Elizabeth is from and lives in the UK, but her family lived in Sydney for a brief 2 year period which is how the two met. 

With Calum’s band, 5SOS, embarking on their biggest and most ambitious world tour to date, he has invited Elizabeth along to work as a photographer/content creator for their social media. This is in the hopes that travelling with them and getting to explore so many new cities will help Elizabeth achieve her dream of becoming a full-time travel writer.

Elizabeth is acquainted with the rest of 5SOS but doesn’t know them tremendously well. Obviously that changes as they are all forced to be in one another’s company for the duration of the tour. As the tour progresses and new friendships blossom, Elizabeth feels the connection between her and Luke grow more and more.

A/N: This chapter is a lot of story set-up and introduces you to the protagonist.

****************************************************************************

I lent my upper back against one of the work kitchen walls and peered out of the window beside me. Any other day, the grey curtain of drizzle would have perfectly matched my work mood. But today was not a normal work day for me. Today was my last day in this hell hole. I was finally getting out of here to pursue my dream of becoming a travel writer. I hugged my mug of coffee closer, content in the knowledge that nothing was going to step on my good mood today.

“I cannot believe you are leaving me with these people.” Drew complained as he walked over and lent some of his weight onto my shoulder while cradling his own steaming mug.

“I am sorry that I’ll be leaving you here. I truly am.” I told him, and I meant it, “But you know as well as I do how much this place can drag a person’s mental health down. So when a best friend offers to let you piggyback off their career to help launch you own, you take it and make the sacrifice of abandoning your work husband.”

“I hate that you have a famous best friend.”

“Don’t be a bitter bitch,” I laughed nudging him in the side with my elbow.

Drew and I chatted for a minute or two more before making our way back to our desks at opposite ends of the office. When I got to mine I noticed that someone (probably my manager or Josie, the company busy body) had taken my second coffee break of the morning as an opportunity to place an envelope and small gift bag by my keyboard. As I placed my coffee down I noticed that the people on my bank of desks had swivelled their chairs, and thus their attention, in my direction. I also heard the tell-tale sound of high heels on cheap carpet tiles that indicated Josie was making her way over.

“Elizabeth,” Josie cooed in her usual fake friendliness, “I can’t believe it’s your last day here already! We did a small collection for you in order to say goodbye and give you something to remember us by. It’s been such a great three years and eight months working with you. We’re all sad to see you go.”

“Thanks, Josie. I certainly will miss how precise you are with details.” I said trying not to make my sarcasm too obvious.

I rummaged in the tissue paper hoping to bring this moment in the spotlight to an end as soon as possible. First I pulled out a small, sleek rectangle. Through the plastic window of the box I spied a matte black fountain pen -it was a genuinely lovely pen which surprised me. Next I pulled out a small bottle of Kraken rum -my go to with Coke on work nights out- which was followed by a second, identical bottle. The fourth and final leaving gift was a new 10 shot pack of film for my Instax Mini camera.

“Thanks guys...” I awkwardly addressed the room, “These are all really thoughtful and nice. I love the pen. Uhh, yeah, thanks again. Stay cool and all that cliche stuff.”

I promptly sat down and unlocked my PC to indicate that the show was over and I should now be left the fuck alone.

The company’s internal IM program was flashing at me in orange, indicating I had an unread message.

[Drew Clarke - 10:47 am]  I am so sorry they are putting you through this. You look so awkward. I can see you blushing from here.  It is hilarious though :’D I made such a big deal about the stupid pen they wanted to get you having to be matte black Also my leaving gift to you is that I have done everything in my power to ensure Josie knows nothing about your leaving drinks tonight

I responded with a simple gif of some character I didn’t know mouthing ‘thank you’ to acknowledge his last message and then went back to work trying to complete as much of my remaining work as possible.

The rest of the day dragged on as it would any other day of the week. The only difference was that I had the occasional desk visit from a colleague to wish me luck or let me know they’d be at the leaving drinks Drew had arranged for me that evening. 

And then Drew was at my desk before the clock had even hit 5 pm,

“Start packing your shit up then. We’ve got a bar to get to.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------

My leaving drinks were actually surprisingly fun. Which was as much of a good thing as it was a bad thing. 

It was good because who doesn’t love people buying them either shots or rum and cokes? Plus Drew and I had had a beautiful drunken moment where we gushed over how much we treasured each other’s friendship and would definitely, definitely stay in touch always, and who doesn’t love those moments? 

It was bad because I got in at 3:30 am, set an alarm for 6 am and left my house for the train station at 7 am with a hangover headache already brewing.

My morning then got worse when I remembered I had to change trains at Sheffield. Non-direct train journeys are enough of a pain without a hangover, rucksack, camera bag and 2-wheeled large carry-on suitcase to slow you down.

When I finally, and ungracefully, settled myself on the platform at Sheffield I glanced around to locate where I could get myself a coffee and some form of breakfast. I had a 50 minute wait until my next train so there was plenty of time to try and nurse my hangover with coffee and carbs before getting crammed into another train and eventually reuniting with Cal in Edinburgh.

I spotted a place on the next platform over with indoor seating and made my way to it. Once inside the warmth of the glass rectangle I grabbed a twin pack of almond biscuits from the counter display and ordered a large cappuccino as well as a breakfast bagel. I then went and dumped all my luggage (promptly followed by myself) down at the nearest table and waited for my name to be called over the mellow jazz music.

Once I had returned to my table with my breakfast order, I opened my phone to check my messages and view the photographic damage from the night before. As I sipped my coffee I opened my photos app and was pleased when nothing embarrassing immediately jumped out at me from the 50+ square icons of photos and boomerangs that I had very little memory of taking. Most of the photos were blurry and every single boomerang was a fail, so I deleted them to save storage space on my phone. There was a super cute selfie of Drew and I, with his fiance, Adam, photo-bombing us in the background. It made me smile so much that I set it as the lock screen on my phone.

Next I moved on to my messages. There we unread messages awaiting me from Drew, Cal, my mum and weirdly my now ex-manager.

Manager Si: Didd u mange t geet home ok?/?. Gd luk w everythin

Work Hubby: I miss you already. Hope you got home safe! Text me by midday so I know you’re still alive x

Mum: Good luck on this big new adventure of yours! Do not forget to call us when time zones allow. Your Dad and I will always b here to support you and cannot wait to see you succeed. Say hi to Calum for us. Mum & Dad Xx

Cal: Hey, hey! So stoked to see you later and have you come oN FREAKING TOUR WITH ME!!! See ya in Edinburgh! X

I responded first to my mum, because I was raised right. I flat out ignored my old manager’s drunk text. I assured Drew that I was still alive because if I was dead it wouldn’t feel like there was a gremlin hammering away inside my skull. I followed that up with a screenshot of my new lock screen. Finally, I replied to Calum:

Morning :) Feeling rough after my leaving drinks last night. Have I already begun my new rock n’ roll lifestyle?! So fucking excited to see you again!! You are not prepared for the hug you’re gonna get! X

With everyone replied to (or ignored in Si’s case) I put my phone face down on the table and tucked into my breakfast bagel. Then as I still had 20 minutes to kill I thought what better place to slap some make-up on than the middle of a train station coffee shop?

Looking and feeling more human, I made my way from the coffee shop to platform 4 as they announced my train was about to arrive. 

I hopped on carriage L, placed my luggage in the overhead rack and settled into my seat for the next 3+ hours. I quickly shot a text to my parents and Cal, letting them know I was on my last train. Then I pulled my noise cancelling headphones on, opened up a relaxing Spotify playlist and promptly fell asleep.

Ben Hardy x Reader - Stay With Me

Notes: This was 100% inspired by Joe's newest Insta post with Ben and Cardy B. Just know that I wasn't a Ben slut before that video, but he just looked SO GOOD that I couldn't help myself with this. Please excuse my grammatical errors, too.

Warnings: SMUT 18+ (unprotected sex, fingering, and a blowjob)

----------

----------

You had known Ben for a while now, going on two years. You had on and off crushes on him the entire time you had known him. But, you were still friends and you liked your friendship too much to complicate it with your feelings. So, you stayed quiet and enjoyed his company.

He would often invite you over to his place when he wasn't filming, and you would watch a movie or have dinner together. You could have sworn there were times during the movies that he wanted to drape his arm over your shoulder. It would be sitting so precariously on the back of the couch, just millimeters away from touching you. When his arm was there, you couldn't think. You couldn't focus on the movie. All you could do was try to send Jedi mind signals to him, telling him to do it. But, he never did.

Even during a couple of romantic scenes in the movies, you could feel his arm fidget behind you and you would think, This is it. He's finally going to do it. Then, the scene would end as soon as it had started and he would relax. The moment had passed, but you still sat there wanting more. You never got anything more.

So, when he invited you out for drinks on one of his stops on his BoRhap press tour, you didn't think much of it. He said he was already at the bar, as he had been out with other friends, but they had all left and he wasn't ready to go home yet. He was in London, only a small drive from where you were, and he texted you the address.

I see I wasn't even ur first choice.

You joked. Joking with him was easy and fun. You did it to cover up your feelings for him because joking was as close to flirting as you could get.

You were, but I wasn't sure if u would want to come

You were his first choice. You shook the thought from your head before answering him.

Well...u know i don't really drink right?

You asked. You didn't like to get tipsy around him for fear that you would let your feelings slip out. Plus, you missed him so badly that you had no idea what might have escaped your mouth under the influence.

i know, just haven't seen u in a while, thought we could catch up

He texted. You hadn't seen him in person since he left for the press tour about 3 months ago. You smiled and giggled at your phone, but reminded yourself it was nothing. He was your friend and he hadn't seen you in three months. He just wanted to 'catch up'. His exact words. It was nothing more. But even if it was, you knew you were too shy to make any kind of move.

Ok I'll take an uber over and be there soon

He was spontaneous like that, just inviting you to places on a whim. It wasn't like you were doing anything important when he would text you, but you found it funny every time it happened.

ill be waiting

You ordered an Uber and waited for it outside your apartment. You checked the time. 8:36. You would get over to Ben within the hour. When the Uber came, you climbed inside and put your headphones in, listening to music until you were in front of the small, Irish pub. You could see Ben in the window. Sitting by himself at a high table in the front of the place.

You thanked your driver and got out. Pulling at your shirt and pants trying to make yourself as cute as possible. You were wearing some medium gray leggings that hugged your legs in all the right ways and a semi-tight T-shirt.

You half-jogged into the pub, excited to see him. When you made your way past the threshold, Ben saw you and waved at you frantically. You exchanged big smiles as you ran up to him. His arms engulfing you in a big hug. You could feel all his muscles through his T-shirt. His warmth made you feel so relaxed, and he smelled like cigarettes and mint. You usually didn't like guys who smoked, but Ben was different. He looked hot when he smoked.

"Hi Y/N," he breathed out as you two released the hug.

"Hi," you repeated back to him. To any onlooker, it could have looked like two lovers seeing each other for the first time in a long while. But, you two knew the truth. You were just very good friends. "How have you been? How's the press tour going?" you asked as you took the only other seat at the table.

"It's been fantastic," he started. "The guys are just wonderful, I hope you get to meet them someday."

"Me too. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine," you joked. You wished you could be introduced as his 'girlfriend' instead of his 'friend'. Although, you would take what you could get.

"Good to hear," he laughed. A waitress walked up to our table. "Do you want something to drink?" he asked pointing at you. You shook your head.

"No, just a water, thanks." You put your hands up in defense. He gave you a look. The waitress was right next to our table now and looked a little confused.

"All your friends left?" she asked. She must have been referring to the friends that were here before you.

"Yeah, they did," he said flatly. "Come on, I haven't seen you in three months and you won't have one drink with me?" he said directed at you. You felt a little pang of happiness that he would choose to talk to you over the very beautiful waitress standing next to you. So, you gave in.

"One drink," you said with wide eyes and holding up one finger. Ben gave you a smirk and ordered both of you a beer.

"Just a beer darling? Nothing else?" The waitress asked Ben, completely ignoring you. "You haven't drunk anything else all night, I can't get you something stronger?" She persisted. You cocked your head at Ben and gave him a smile of unbelief.

"No, that's all. Thanks," He replied in another flat tone. He gave her a forced smile. She batted her eyelashes at him and then left. He shook his head. "She's been hitting on me all night," he said, pointing his thumb back towards her.

"You're telling me you don't like it? Not even a little bit?" You hurt yourself with you're own words. You knew he liked it when gorgeous women fell all over him, but it felt like if you ever hit on him, he would push you away and never want to see you again.

"I mean, it's nice, but I don't want her," he replied looking back over toward the bar. You were hoping he would follow that up with 'because I want you'. You looked down at your hands defeated when that didn't happen. But, thankfully Ben hadn't noticed. "I just want her to stop, she's been doing it for hours." he continued without looking at you.

"Speaking of what was happening earlier in the night, did I hear her right? You hadn't had anything to drink all night, but you're getting on me for not wanting to drink?" You asked, holding your head in your hand. You raised your eyebrows at him, waiting for him to respond.

"Well, I..." he was fumbling through his answer. You smiled at how cute he looked when he was flabbergasted. "I originally didn't want to drink, but then I invited you and I like drinking with you cause I feel relaxed and...I don't know, I just wanted a drink now. How did this turn into an interrogation?" he asked. You laughed at how uncomfortable he felt. You brought your hand down and hit his hand playfully. It was resting on the table close enough to hit. Or touch. Or hold. You shook the thought away silently. He looked up at you with wide eyes and an open mouth. "That's it!" he said.

"What?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.

"When she comes back, hold my hand. She'll think we're together and she'll stop hitting on me," He was acting like this was a brilliant plan. Your heart beat faster at the thought of touching him. You just gave him a sweet smile. He would pretend to be your boyfriend whenever a guy was hitting on you that you wanted to stop. He would always come up next to you and snake his arm around your waist. Your heart would always flutter at his touch.

"Alright, I guess," you answered. You didn't know whether he wanted you to start now or when you saw her coming to the table. But, he answered your question without even hearing it.

"Take it, come on," He turned his hand and stretched his fingers out to let your hand intertwine with his. You slowly moved your hand over and mentally prepared yourself for what was about to happen. You gripped his fingers in your hand as his grip around yours tightened as well. Ben went back to sipping his beer as soon as your hands were intertwined, like nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

You kept stealing glances over to your hands, not fully believing what was happening. You would sip your beer and talk to him some more, but you needed to see your hand holding his. The waitress came over again after a couple minutes to make sure we were alright and to flirt with Ben some more. But, as she walked over, you saw her eyes glance down to your hands and her face dropped. You smiled at her reaction. You liked being thought of as his girlfriend, even if it was just for a couple of seconds.

"Everything okay here?" she asked, blatantly staring at our hands.

"Everything is great, right love?" Ben asked you. You were stunned at his words. You almost couldn't speak. You quickly came to, though, and managed to answer him.

"Yes, everything's great," You genuinely smiled at the waitress. You started to rub your thumb over Ben's fingers to sell your act some more.

"Great," she replied fakely and she shot you an angry look that she didn't want Ben to see. When she had finally left, you let go of Ben's hand. Not wanting to seem like you were holding it too long. You took a deep breath before speaking again.

"I don't think she'll be bothering you anymore," you said.

"I don't think so either. Thank you," he responded.

"No problem," you replied. It wasn't a problem, but it also was at the same time. But, once again, you swallowed your feelings and continued to talk to your friend like nothing had happened.

----------

After you finished your drinks, you had stayed true to only having one drink each, you both walked outside so you could call an Uber back.

"I promise that when the tour is over we can go back to movie nights," he said as he held the door for you.

"Good, I miss those," you replied with a smile. He walked beside you until you reached the curb. There was a loud group of people walking toward you. They were very obviously drunk and wearing jerseys. You didn't think much of them and went on your phone to call an Uber. The app told you that there wasn't anyone to pick you up. "That's strange." You remarked.

"What is it?" Ben asked.

"It says there're no Ubers. I'll try again." You refreshed the app, but nothing was happening. "Huh," you said.

"Still nothing?" he asked.

"Yeah, nothing," You remarked slowly, trying to think. "Is there something happening today?" You asked. In unison, you both looked over at the group of drunk people in jerseys.

"Football game," Ben realized. "No Ubers cause they're all at the game." You rolled your eyes and sighed throwing your hands up a bit.

"Great," you said softly. "How am I gonna get home now?" you asked softly, thinking Ben couldn't hear you.

"You can stay with me," Ben suggested. You looked back at him confused.

"What?" You asked.

"I'm staying right over there," he pointed to a hotel not even a block away. "You can stay there with me tonight until you can get a ride back to your place tomorrow morning." You took a deep breath and thought about it. A night alone with Ben was something that only happened in your dreams. But, real life was not as exciting. Although, You couldn't refuse.

"Okay, if you're alright with that," You reassured.

"Of course, I'm okay with it. Come on," he said with a laugh and we crossed the street. Ben led the way up to his hotel room and you followed closely behind. Trying not to get lost in the beautiful hotel. He pulled his room key out of his pocket and opened the door, holding it for you. You walked in and made your way over to the couch. You let your purse fall to the floor and you slammed down on the not-very-comfy couch. But, it only had to make do for one night. You pushed down on the couch, checking its bounciness before laying your head down for a quick second.

"Nice room," You said looking around at the lamps and chairs.

"Oh no," he shook his head. "You're not sleeping there." He continued. You sat up at his words.

"I'll gladly take the couch," you started. "This is your room Ben, I'm not going to take over your bed." You insisted that he kept his bed. He was doing you a favor after all.

"And I'm not letting you sleep on the couch," Ben said in a louder tone. He wasn't angry; he just wanted to be heard.

"Ben, the couch is f-" You started, but he cut you off.

"Y/N," He almost yelled and then he sighed. "Let's just share the bed. End of discussion."

"I-" You were cut off again.

"End of discussion," he laughed. He shook his head with a smile as he grabbed a light gray shirt and some boxers out of his drawer. "Do you need something to sleep in?" he asked. You could have easily slept in what you had on, but you wanted to wear something of his and look good doing it.

"Just a shirt if you don't mind," You said. He walked over and handed you a soft BoRhap shirt that he must have gotten in a press package. "Thanks," you said. Ben entered the bathroom to change. You took this moment to completely geek out at what was happening. Shaking your head and arms about just to let out some of your feelings. Once you had calmed down, Ben was just about done in the bathroom.

He emerged wearing some blue striped boxers and a light gray shirt. He looked GOOD. His hair looked tousled and perfect. His eyes looked beautiful in that lighting and his arms looked perfectly ripped. You caught yourself staring. You just gave him a small smile as he got into the left side of the bed. You walked past him to the bathroom, screaming internally.

Once you had closed the door, you were freaking out, mouthing words about how good he looked and almost falling to your knees. It was torture to see him like that and not be able to do anything about it. You collected yourself and began to change. But, pulling your leggings down, you realized that you made a mistake. You should have also asked for pants because you were wearing a thong. And not just any thong, a black lace thong. Shit, you mouthed to yourself.

It was laundry day soon and this was the only underwear you had left. You hadn't expected this to happen at all. So now you had two options, own it or ask for pants. And every fiber of your being was screaming to get pants, but you didn't. The shirt came down far enough on you that it covered your butt. As long as it didn't ride up on you, you would be okay.

You left the bathroom, one hand holding down the hem of the shirt and the other holding the rest of your clothes. You walked out of the bathroom and over to the couch, hoping that Ben would be busy and not notice what you were wearing.

"What's up?" Ben laughed at your strange walk. He was laying with his arms behind his head, propped up on a pillow. Shit, you thought again. You threw your clothes down and smiled at him.

"Nothing," you said quickly. But, Ben gave you a look that you just couldn't resist. "I forgot I was wearing a thong," you laughed. You saw a different look flash across Ben's face. One you hadn't seen before. It was... lusty, you thought. But, there was no way you were right. Ben didn't think of you that way.

You walked over to the bed and pulled the sheets out. You got into bed and mentally thanked the sheets for covering your body. Ben had the TV on and was watching a movie. You weren't paying attention to what movie it was. You were too focused on staying sane while laying next to him. You felt him look over at you, but you didn't look back.

Instead, you turned away from him and laid on your side. Trying not to think about him. You felt the covers move a bit too much and you turned back to Ben. He had lifted the covers to see your panties. You swatted at the blanket in disbelief and it fell back over you.

"Lace looks good on you," he said in a sultry voice. You scoffed at him and turned away again. You were trying so hard not to jump his bones. Trying to stay sane, but it was probably the hardest thing you had ever done.

You heard Ben turn the TV off, along with the light next to him. There was only a small light lighting the room from the desk. He must have forgotten to turn that one off.

A couple seconds later, you feel a warm hand snake around your waist and softly grab onto you. You felt him lay down right behind you and you could feel his breath on your neck. He had cuddled up behind you and you could feel your heart stop. You were frozen. Did he know what he was doing? Had he already fallen asleep? Was he drunker than you thought? There were so many questions running through you're head. But, they all stopped when you spoke up.

"B-Ben?" You whispered.

"Mm-hmm?" he hummed in response. You could feel the vibration of his voice tremble through your back. Before you could stop it, a question spilled out of your mouth.

"What are you doing?" You asked. You wanted to kick yourself for asking a question that might push him away.

"I missed you," he answered in a low tone. You didn't know what to say. You felt your pulse through your whole body. It was quick and loud in your ears.

"I missed you too,...but-" you didn't know what to say next. You had hoped Ben would fill in the blank. And he did.

"I know you have feelings for me," he said. You began to fidget a little in your spot. Ben's arm held you down and close to him.

"Are you drunk?" You asked with a small giggle. You were sure he was teasing you. If he knew that you liked him, there was no way he would be into it. He was getting ready to throw you out. You prepared yourself for the worst.

"No," Ben chuckled lowly. "Not even buzzed, love." Now, you were very confused. He was awake and sober, cuddling you in bed when neither of you were wearing pants. "I know you like me," he said again.

"You said that," you assured. He cuddled closer to you. His warmth pulled the next question out of you. "Do you have any feelings for me?" You asked. You realized what you had asked. You immediately started to back out of the situation. "Nevermind, I don't want to know," You tried to get out of bed, but Ben held you down. He knew you didn't really want to leave.

"It's okay," he hummed again with a small chuckle. He kissed the nape of your neck with a light kiss, barely touching your skin. "I've had feelings for you for a while now. Just too afraid to tell you," he kept kissing your skin. Moving from your neck down your shoulder. Pulling the neckline of your shirt down so he could get better access at your shoulder. His hot lips leaving a trail down your neck. He talked between kisses. "While I was gone,...I kept thinking over...some of our movie nights...and how you wouldn't move away from me....I realized...you probably liked me...just as much as I like you." You were melting into his kisses. They felt...right. Like this was always what you two were meant to be doing.

"Mmm," you hummed at the softness of his lips.

"Been wanting to do this for so long," He chimed. With that cue, you turned so you were on your back. Ben scooted away to let you lay down. He propped himself up on his elbow and you just stared up at him. Looking at his eyes and how beautiful they were. He was such a beautiful man, and he was just kissing all over you. You brought your hand up to cup his cheek and you rubbed your thumb back and forth. The two of you just staring at each other.

Not before long, his lips came crashing down on yours. It was a needy kiss, a wanting kiss, a kiss of loving someone for 2 years and finally being able to show it. Ben's free hand held your waist, pulling you closer to him. You used your hand on his cheek to pull him as close to you as you could. Never wanting his lips to leave yours.

He shifted himself and moved until he was hovering above you, never breaking contact. His hand that was on your waist started bunching up your shirt. Grasping it in a ball in his hand. Once he reached the hemline, his hand traveled south. Past your hips until he grabbed the hem of your panties. He crooked his finger under the thin fabric and snapped it back against your skin.

You whimpered into your kiss at the sting. You felt him smile under your lips. He crooked his finger back into the fabric and pulled it down past your knees. He took his hand away for a moment. To make sure you were okay with what was happening. You broke the kiss to look at him.

"Is this happening?" you asked, already semi out of breath.

"Only if you want it to, love," he looked at you with puppy dog eyes. Soft and full.

"Yes," You nodded. "Yes, I want this so badly," You breathed pulling him in for another kiss. His hand returned to its spot before traveling down to your bud. He lightly grazed over it, testing the waters. You whimpered again at his touch. He started to rub circles into you. Slow, lazy circles trying to find the perfect spot. He moved around a little until you moaned against his lips and pulled away from his kiss just a bit. He gave you a smirk before rubbing a little faster in the same spot.

You whimpered softly and tried to control your breathing. He must have had a lot of practice with this. His hands moved like a professional. Plus, you could tell he was eager to please you. You could feel your orgasm coming on. You grasped onto Ben's hair as you kissed him, a little rougher than before. you broke away from the kiss.

"Ben, I'm close," you whispered. You wanted to let him know. Him making you cum would be a threshold you couldn't come back from. From that moment forward, your relationship would be different. Up until now, you could write it off as a drunk night in a hotel room, even if none of you were drunk.

"Cum for me, baby," he whispered into your ear. His hot breath on your face and his actions on your bud were too much to handle and you hit your high. Twitching against him and moaning softly at the feeling. You could feel his breathing get harder at your noises and movements. His hips bucked down against your thigh and you could feel how hard he was.

As you tried to catch your breath, you brought your hand down to cup his groin. The only thing separating you and the rod you had only dreamed about touching was some thin fabric. You glided your hand up and down the outline as he breathed out at your touch into the crook of your neck. He used a free hand to throw the covers off of you two to give you some more room to move around.

He was on his knees. Trying to keep himself steady under your touch. Your legs tangling with each other. But, just feeling him through some fabric wasn't enough. You brought your hand up to his hips and grabbed the waistband of his boxers. You pulled them down slowly to reveal his cock. It hit your thigh as it was freed from the confines of the fabric. Skin to skin contact made Ben let out a quick breath.

"Lay back," you whispered to him.

"Okay," he breathed. He turned over and laid on his back. You took over, looking at his beautiful cock in the process. Taking all of him in. His chest was rising and falling quickly. His eyes never left your body. Even as he laid down, he still kept a hand on you, not wanting your touch to leave him.

You crawled down near the foot on the bed and sat on your heels in between his legs. You took your panties off the rest of the way and threw them to the ground. You positioned yourself perfectly in his vision. Once you knew you had his full attention, you took off the shirt he gave you. Throwing it down on top of your panties. You could see Ben squirm and his breathing quicken a little more. You could tell he wanted to put his hands all over you, but he couldn't reach you well enough.

"Take off your shirt," you commanded. Ben did exactly as you said. Pulling it off in one quick movement and laying back down. His muscles almost glistened in the dim light. It took your breath away.

You looked down at his cock. It began to twitch at the amount of blood coursing through it. You pulled his boxers completely off. When you turned back to him, you looked like a tiger about to pounce on some prey. You ass stuck up in the air and your back arched. You dragged your hands up his thighs, teasing him some. He breathed out and you knew he needed you to touch him.

You brought your hand up and wrapped it around the base of his dick painfully slow. You used the thumb of your other hand to spread his precum out a little. He flinched at your touch. He was sensitive and you were going to exploit that. You licked the head lightly as you kept eye contact with him. He looked at you like you were the hottest girl in the world.

When you wrapped your mouth around his cock, he let out a gravelly moan. You pumped your mouth and hand at a steady pace. You could feel him wiggle underneath you from how good you made him feel. You took him as deeply as you could, almost his full length, pulling your hands away and letting your mouth do all the work.

"Oh, fuck," he moaned. When you pulled back, his hand was tangling in your hair, following your movements and only pushing you a little further with some pumps. You were getting wetter by the second. His moans themselves might have been enough to put you over the edge. Every little thing about him was just as perfect as you had dreamed. But, not before long, you pulled away.

Ben had a pained look on his face. You used your hand to wipe the excess spit from your face as you crawled back up to him. Laying down next to him and giving him a passionate kiss. You knew that if you stayed down there, he might not have enough energy to fuck you. And that's exactly what you wanted him to do. Fuck you.

Ben knew what was happening. He rolled back over you. Hovering over your body and being supported on his forearms. After a couple seconds of kissing, he brought one hand down to his dick, holding the base of it. He pulled away from the kiss and tried to guide himself into you. Once you felt it press in, you let out a moan louder than you had wanted.

"Good girl, that's what I want to hear," he said as he retook his place over you. He slowly started to press in further until he bottomed out. You could feel the head pressing into your walls. Feeling his pulse through your body. He slowly started to thrust into you. Your mouth stayed open, letting out small moans and whimpers as he kept pressing into you. Your bodies moving in perfect unison with each other. His hot breath on your neck quickening turned you on even more.

He would grunt into you as he quickened his pace. Leaving small kisses on your neck between noises. Your hands were gliding up and down his back, trying to grab onto him. You could feel every crevasse of his muscles under your fingertips. You knew he worked out quite a bit, but to feel them all working in unison like this was something entirely new.

You could feel the pit in your stomach rising. You let out a couple of moans to warn Ben because you couldn't form words anymore. When you hit your second orgasm of the night, you moaned loudly again as your walls clenched against his cock. You could feel him pumping in and out harder, trying to make the most out of what was happening.

"Fuck, Ben," you sighed. A sentence and tone you never thought you would say out loud. He laughed softly into your neck.

"You feel so good, love," he whispered. "Let's see if we can make that happen again." He quickened his pace even more, pounding in and out of you. The sound of moans, heavy breathing, and slapping skin filling the room. You began to feel the bed rock under you as he kept going. You spread your legs even wider to allow him complete access to you. Your eyes crossed involuntarily as ultimate pleasure coursed through your veins.

Quickly, you hit your third orgasm. Twitching against him and your walls clenching around him once more. Once he felt that, he slowed down. His thrusts becoming sloppy and lazy. He looked like he was getting weaker, which meant he was close.

"Yes, baby," you whispered into his ear as one hand came up to grab his hair. Once he came, he moaned into your neck. His hot liquid spilling into you. He collapsed on top of you as he began to catch his breath. You didn't mind him cumming inside of you because you both knew you were on the pill. Ben pushed himself off of you a bit as he slowly slipped out of you. He didn't want to completely crush you after what just happened. You were trying to catch your breath too.

After a couple of seconds, you began peppering his faces with soft kisses. Hoping your aftercare would help him a bit. He smiled with closed eyes. His hand wrapped around your waist and pulled you flush against him. He flopped onto his back and you placed your head on his chest.

Your breathing had slowed at this point and he was close to normal breathing as well. You brought your hand up and began to trace his pecs and abs with your index finger. Tracing light outlines until you or he said something. He kissed the top of your head and put his arm across your shoulders, holding you close to him.

"I bet that waitress wishes she was me right now," you joked. Looking up at him for affirmation. He chuckled and nodded. There was a small silence before Ben spoke.

"I'm glad my friends left for the football game," he spoke quietly. You thought about his words for a minute before pushing yourself up to look him in the eye.

"What did you say?" you asked raising an eyebrow at him and keeping one hand on his chest as you spoke.

"My friends went off to the football game, that's when I texted you," he explained.

"So you knew there was a football game going on," you thought about it more as he nodded his head and gave you a smirk. You put two and two together. "You knew I wouldn't be able to get a ride home," you said in disbelief.

"Yeah, I did," he confirmed with a smile.

"So, this was your plan all along. Get a couple drinks in me and then fuck me?" You didn't mean it in a mean way. You just wanted to know exactly what he was thinking.

"No, no," he said in defense. "I was never going to get you drunk. Just one drink each, and that's what happened. Just to loosen us up a bit." He explained even more.

"You think I wouldn't sleep with you if I was sober? Because I still would have," you said.

"Really?" he asked.

"Of course, god, look at you," You replied. "But, what was the plan from the bar to here? I mean, you couldn't have been 100% sure I would sleep with you." You just wanted to know.

"Honestly, I thought, the best case scenario was that we would just sleep in the same bed together. Maybe one of us would accidentally end up cuddling the other in our sleep, just like in the movies. That was the best case scenario. I never thought this would happen," You gave him a skeptical look. "Honestly," he responded. You paused for a moment.

"Was I good, at least?" You asked. Ben knew that you weren't that experienced with this type of thing.

"Good? You were fucking amazing! That was better than I ever thought it would be," he responded. You couldn't help but smile as you laid back down on his chest. "I wasn't going to force you to do anything. I just...needed a moment with you where I could tell you how I felt." You sighed against him, lifting yourself up to look at him again.

"I think you did a little more than that," you joked. He chuckled as he pushed a piece of hair behind your ear.

"I missed you so much while I was gone and it killed me that you didn't know how I felt," he explained further.

"I've liked for so long Ben, but I haven't been able to tell you either. I was too afraid that it would ruin our friendship. I liked being around you too much to risk it," you admitted. He grabbed the back of your head and pulled you into a loving, soft kiss. You pulled away first. "I guess neither of us was smart about this, huh?" you said with a soft laugh.

"Nope," he agreed. You both chuckled. As you went in for another kiss, your hand traced over his abs, just wanting to feel every bit of him. He pulled away this time. "You know, in a couple minutes, I could probably go again," Your face lit up.

"Mmm, Christmas came early," you joked before going in for another kiss.

"But, I won't. I promise," Ben joked. You smiled into him as he put his hands on your waist. Kissing you in the dim light of the night. Two years of seemingly useless pining had finally paid off, and neither of you couldn't have been happier.

Buried under Your Voice

Part of the Love Confession Project! How your love story begins and how they confess in their own special way!

Pairing: Jimin x Y/N [other pairs -> Love Confession Masterlist]

Genre: Cute, fluffy, short.

au’s: Y/N is a staff member at BigHit, Noona Y/N.

Word Counts: 780 words

Warnings: None, good to enjoy anywhere anytime.

The last round of sample collecting for the new teaser is over at this point, it should be ready to be released in less than a week. You take off your headphone and give Jimin an Ok sign.

That OK sign instantly led to a huge smile on his face, Jimin lets out a breath of relief and takes off his headphone as well. The high note for this part of the song is pretty tricky, even a good singer like him couldn’t pull it off the first several times. He has been nervous for this comeback the entire time, now the recording is over, he can finally relax a little and focus more on other stuff.

You press on the replay button to listen to the high note again, Jimin just executed it unbelievably well, and you are so proud of him.

“Jimin, I know I probably have already told you this a million times, but your voice is A-m-a-z-i-n-g. Oh god… What do I even do without you? ”

Jimin is someone who gets shy way too easily, so he starts blushing like crazy right after hearing what you said.

You are really just being blood honest. You love his voice to death, absolutely your personal favorite. Other members are just as good, but the soft voice of his just tingles your heart each time you hear it.

You press the replay button a couple more times to check if there’s any noise recorded, and after making sure everything checks out-

“We’ll call it a day, guys! Good work. The teaser will be out shortly, thank you everyone. ”

Other staff members in the room all start packing and leaving, you stretch a little and start cleaning up, too.

You can feel someone is most definitely staring at you, so you turn around to check, and see Jimin quietly standing there playing with the edge of his knit wear.

“Is everything alright? We are done here. Let’s go! ”

“Noona...” Jimin mumbles with his soft voice through his lips: “Can I talk to you for a second? ”

“Of course!” You thought it was no big deal, maybe he’s feeling anxious about the comeback again. He doesn’t want to be a burden to other members, so he comes to you a lot, and you are more than happy to talk him through it.

You close the door behind him gently and walk back to your seat. Jimin seems really nervous, he is picking his fingers and biting his lips while turning his eyes away from yours. You sit down and wait patiently, there’s no need to rush him, he’ll talk when he’s ready.

Just like you thought, he starts talking again, but still very quietly, soft little voice with all the innocence and sweetness: “Noona, you always say you like my voice, is that true?”

Hearing him like that just made your heart flatter, so you respond in a soft voice like him with a reassuring tone: “Of course it is, why would I lie about something like that. Your voice is beautiful, I swear to God, B-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l. ”

Although the answer should’ve been anticipated, Jimin’s blushing again, red fluffs flying up onto his cheeks. He looks so cute when he gets shy, you love it.

By the nervous tics he’s making, you’d say Jimin is definitely going through some internal struggles, and when he finally makes up his mind, he starts talking in a louder and yet shaky voice: “Is that all you would say about me? I mean... Is my voice the only thing you like? ”

Now it’s your turn to blush, you can feel how your heart starts beating faster. You want to act normal, but the butterflies in your stomach just wouldn’t let you form a coherent sentence without stuttering a hundred times.

“You-you-you, um, have amazing... personalities, too. ”

Jimin seems really disappointed and upset with your answer, which makes you regret so much and want to take everything you said back.

However, Jimin’s most definitely not that easily defeated, he takes a deep breath and starts talking again: “Not that... Y/N- ”

Your heart skipped a beat, you never knew hearing your names being said by his voice can be such a pleasant experience, plus this is the very first time he ever calls you by your name instead of Noona.

“You said you really like my voice... I’ll call your name and say I love you to you everyday, so can you, can you be my girlfriend please? I really, really like you. ”

He does exactly what he promised, you get a call from him everyday, it always starts with your name, and ends with “I love you”.

ep8 -this episode is BEAUTIFUL bc you feel practically euphoric?? like hell yeah theyre finally together!! isak is out and accepted and even is done with sonja! but theres also this unsettling undercurrent of worry bc you know deep down something isnt right? why is sonja calling isak? why is even acting kinda strange? whats going on? yknow?? -literally never going to get over 5 fine frokner :~) even is such a goddamn nerd and he’s the man of isak’s dreams can u believe!!  -sana’s little speech is SO important in so many ways ooo i love her so much -also have we discussed eskild making evak do a photoshoot for him. highkey those are my favourite pictures of ALL time u can tell even was like hm strange but im down while isak was more omg guys stop🙄 omg haha eskild i cant believe youre making me cuddle with even for a photo🙄 i cant believe ur making me snuggle this dude for a pic!!!! definitely would not have done this otherwise!!! -magnus only realizing it’s THAT even after seeing how isak looks at him. whew -isak is so brave i rlly love that kid! his text to his mamma <3 -no r*make will EVER nail text conversations like mari/julie did w evak’s this week thanks for coming to my ted talk. i'd quote the best ones but it would literally double the length of this post (ok ill cave. “hahaha shut up❤️” GETS me) -you dont know whats in store but you know what youre here for. hallo -isak running around oslo with even’s clothes looking for him :( his heart is so big he cares about even so so much -when Part II (on the run) comes on in the credits its like a kick in the teeth honestly

ep9 -ive already screamed enough about cherry wine but god it fucks me up -cannot put into words how much I love eskild and how good of a person he is, he just has so much love in his heart  -”wait they have waffles here? see ya” -this convo is why i love skam so much!!!! magnus giving insight and good thoughtful advice to isak was such a brilliant move by julie (also truLy heartwarming) bc like. magnus is a flawed layered character! he’s dumb and ignorant and not very careful with his words BUT hes also such a sweet guy. i genuinely dont think he would hurt a fly and him talking about vilde (in ep10) is ;-; bc he really likes her and respects her and wants to be a gentleman! hes so loving and just. yeah. also i wonder if isak and magnus (and vilde) ever talked about having mentally ill parents and lent on each other for support bc like....<3 [sidenote- this is why i HATE b***** like they absolutely massacred magnus’s character and magnus did not deserve that!] -det er bare slutt........ very cool of tarjei to invent acting here. also the character development makes me WEEP like at first isak lied and told his pappa it was over bc its easier to brush stuff off and say you were joking than be vulnerable especially about 1. having a boyfriend and 2. saying youve already broken up?? but then isak was like hey im done with lying about who i am bc i want my life to be REAL and he told his dad the truth even if it was hard and even if he was trying rlly hard not to cry  -isak reaching out to even<3 standing up for even<3 -o helga natt. another scene i genuinely cannot comment on bc u cant really put into any written language how magical and breathtaking and heartbreaking and powerful and brilliant this scene is. so. -jk. obvs i cant say anything intelligent enough to give this scene justice but probably the most stunning piece of television i have ever had the privilege of watching. even’s text breaks my heart every gd time (esp since we never really see this side of him before finding out he’s bipolar? his guilt, insecurity, feeling like a burden, being scared of losing everyone in his life because he thinks he’ll hurt them). the music is SO beautiful i cry real tears as soon as the strings start. also the brilliance of JUST o helga natt playing and no dialogue except for isaks one line? isak’s realization when he sees the cross. him RUNNING across oslo to go to even. the FLASHBACKS all going backwards in chronological order until them smoking on the bench. isak looking at the bench and not seeing even and u can feel his heart breaking and urs breaks too! but then he remembers the bathroom and he turns and theres even and whewwww. du er ikke alene<3

ep10 -minutt for minutt is THE most healing clip im telling u. and like.. seeing even depressed really is hard and as someone who was very very depressed for 4-ish yrs of their life it rlly hits me? like when youre in an especially bad funk and you cant get out of bed and youre just numb and exhausted and feel so shitty and u want to be alone but you really dont???? could go on but literally i owe henrik holm my life for his portrayal of even  -not to be a soft bitch on main but when isak tucks the blanket over even and it keeps getting pulled off his back so isak just. covers that spot with himself? -i do love that call between sonja and isak bc once again! a flawed (realistic) human being -and isak thinking its his fault even is depressed? it means a lot that sonja told him its no ones fault, even is just bipolar. and i wonder if isak felt that way about his mamma as well, guilty for her being ill, and if what sonja said made him feel better about that situation too :( -lowkey random but when isak is rambling really fast and he goes “maybe we’ll get bombed tomorrow and talking about all this is a waste of time” it continually punches me in the throat bc that is /exactly/ how i ramble and think like tarjei........ pls -like eskild said. there really is so much love in isak’s little grumpy teenage body<3 -isak no longer just passively accepting life as its given to him, now he fights for him and even!!!!!  -isak is such a forgiving person and seeing him able to just accept things and move on? incredible -i remember when i first watched ep1 i was like oooo even and isak are gonna be kosegruppa partners and thats when theyll first get together, cooking food or smth!! but lmfao after episode 3? kosegruppa whomst???? also hilarious vilde thought isak of all people would willingly sign up for kosegruppa just to go to revue parties -even and linn friendship!!!! -cannot articulate how mf heartwarming it is to see even smiling and being more himself after being depressed (also thank u julie for having ups and downs coming out of his depression- its so true to life having one day when youre feeling awesome and then the next you feel awful again for no reason and its SO frustrating) -I had to stop watching passe pa meg cause it made me toooooo crazy! it would just be like: “I like seeing you laugh” and I was like: *SCREAMS* -im the fucking master of lying 😤 -literally don’t know why isak and even ragging on kosegruppa is so funny but “did you think I joined to have fun” gets me every time -I SAW YOU THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL -also even literally radiating love @ isak watching get snarky w vilde on the phone bc it reminded him of the first time he saw him! even rly is that boyfriend who thinks isak being pissy is the Best Thing he has Ever seen -halla boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz -literally the glo up of isak telling his friends the order in which he’d bang them -No filter! wow I love symbolism -so nice to see the girls together for a lil bit :) -the boys hyping up mags while also telling him to be respectful awwwwww -take desperate to a whole new level- Confucius  -who’s going to show isak how to properly hold a beer can -literally evak banter gets me thru the day. thank u tarjei and henrik for having phenomenal chemistry + improvisation skills + making isak and even the dumbest nerdiest boys i have ever seen -biology partner. and friend. ;-; -even literally is the biggest stoner blease -isak’s talk with eva is just sooooo<3 and not to be emo on main but every single word of the last few sentences he says hit me so gd hard because i feel the exact same way in my BONES -livet er nå 💛

final thoughts :( <3 -this season is so special. it feels like one really long oscar-worthy movie or smth?? i cant even exblain, its just magical. ALSO very dear to my heart. -julie really said you guys have seen isak sad and alone and repressed for the past two seasons so heres him falling in love with the best person in the world and coming to terms with who he is and being brave and opening up and finally being happy and living a real life -this season definitely feels different from s1/2/4 to me editing or production or music smth wise? as in, its got a lot fewer aesthetic shots and the cinematography seems a bit different if that makes any sense???? I also think this is the season most focused just on the main (i.e. not many- if any? sideplots going on) -literally will never get over the thought, love, and detail put into this season. when i say there is literally nothing i would change about it, i mean it and coming from my nitpicky ass??? means a lot lmfao. the acting, directing, music choices, symbolism...... sublime -s3′s cold rainy autumn aesthetic makes me ACHE for fall and also nostalgic for a highschool experience I never had lmao?? also. all the nighttime clips >>> -don’t know what else to say except thank u skam for my life

Headphone evaluation

With the rise of Bluetooth headsets, there is a new trend in the trend circle. Headphones have become a decorative existence. The headphones that are hanging around the neck every day have gradually become a national necklace.

From simple air pods to necklaces with rich color matching, even Fujiwara and sacai have joined forces with the headset brand.

Even LV has taken a fancy to its market. Together with the headset brand, it has launched a functional Bluetooth headset, but today I will take you to evaluate these trendy headphones. Is it practical or not?

Noise reduction, in fact, is literally, the function of reducing the surrounding noise, divided into active and passive, active noise reduction is through the noise reduction system to generate a reverse sound wave equal to the external noise to neutralize the noise. Passive noise canceling headphones mainly block the outside noise by forming an enclosed space around the ears.

Stethoscope effect, when listening to music with headphones, the headphone cable collides with the outside world, there will be people who are very unpleasant "squeaky" sound, just like you sometimes wear headphones to run, you can always hear the headphones have a collision This phenomenon of sound, basically in-ear headphones will exist.

Tri-band is the bass-midrange and treble. Judging whether a headphone sound quality is good or not depends on how the three-frequency connection is connected. It depends on the clarity of each audio. The bass is good. For example, listening to fine dance door at the beginning will be very Shocked, some headphones have a good treble. When listening to the last sentence of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it will be very transparent. The clarity is that you can clearly feel the details of this tone.

Air pods are a lot of people used, but air pods2 was only released some time ago, so we also included it in the evaluation item. I think that most people do not use much wireless charging. It has little or no meaning. (People have always felt that wireless charging is very tasteless), so you can buy the standard charging box version 1279 without this need, the sound quality will be better than before, (not carefully cannot hear) tri-band balance, moderate, internal Replaced with the H1 chip, which means that the Bluetooth connection will be more stable.

But you have to praise the performance of the air pods, you will feel very intimate, such as automatically open the headset to open the headset, tap the headset, switch the function, open the charging box to view the power, wear it jogging It will not fall for a while, and the stability effect is not bad.

The trend of this headset itself is not strong, (after all, it is a practical route) and even many times on the road to see pedestrians are wearing a sly feeling, so I am equipped with some bright clothes, but generally buy this The headset is not bought for the trend, so it does not matter, as Apple's best product in recent years, it is worth buying it.

Although it has a design of the headphone head of the magnet, it is a chicken rib. Unless you fix it by holding it tightly, it can be maintained. It is impossible to fit it when you want to hang down naturally, so the line on both sides when walking It is often high on one side and low on the side. If you don't pay attention, it will fall off. When the headphones are attached together, the music will be automatically turned off. When you open it, it will play automatically. The control experience is medium. Because the buttons are tight, I have to press a Bluetooth button. 5 seconds.

In the headset brand, b&o is high-end, but the price is also high, the ear protector is full leather, the noise reduction effect is good, there is a feeling of isolation, although some people say that bose is better, but think of the appearance of bose Still forget it, then its control panel will be hit frequently, and then it will automatically pause. When I start using it, I really press it every time, then I just want to go back, then slide left and right, circle, Double clicks will have different functions.

Due to the noise reduction effect, it is very uncomfortable to wear it when you are not playing music. The ear has a sense of oppression, but the sound quality is really good. You can feel the clarity of the three parts of the bass-midrange and the whole part of the evaluation. The best, ok in battery life, charge a single charge, I can probably listen to 2-3 days, if you do not want to charge, you can plug the headset cable.

Beats is actually a popular model. If you test it first, my feelings may not be so obvious. When you get your hand, you can feel soft, Flex-Form headphone cable and silicone feel. U type at the neck is just right. The main thing is that it is long enough, not as short as the B&O, and the head of the magnet is basically buckled on its own.

Because BeatsX uses Class 1 Bluetooth technology, the distance of Bluetooth connection can reach 100 meters, but the sound quality is not as good as many evaluations on the Internet. The sound quality of headphones is generally good, then fatal injuries should be easy to break. The people are basically broken and then go to the Apple store to change the roots, the service life is about a year.

It is worth saying that the co-branded value of sacai is really too high, and it can be used as a necklace. The other two colors are also very heart-warming, but since the quality of beats x is not good, it is not recommended. Or, if you break, you can't change the same paragraph. As for the match, wearing Indian-style clothes is a good fit, but some simple T-shirts will look good.

Then, in this issue, our headset evaluation is over here. It is actually my personal audition point of view. It does not mean that others will use it. From low-priced brands to high-end brands, it is impossible to achieve functionality and practicality. Perfect, always good and bad.

Second First Date

happy holidays to @osobhi​~ it seems like we had each other for the @mlsecretsanta​ exchange! I hope you like this! it’s post-reveal alyabug :3

on ao3

Words: 2.4k

Her parents were hosting a party to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and Alya was bored out of her mind. She was the youngest there; none of her parents’ friends had brought their kids, and Ella and Etta were down for a nap before midnight. Her parents had felt the need to start it six hours before midnight, so everyone could have dinner together, and the party was dragging on forever.

It probably would have been a little more bearable if she could leave and hang out with people she actually knew, but she had nowhere to go. After a while, she resorted to sitting in the corner of the couch, eavesdropping on nearby conversations and texting her friends.

From: Mari <3

How’s the party going??

Babe I’m so boredd are u sure u can’t come over

I wish :(( my parents won’t let me though

FuCk that

Wait bu t

I’m sure my parents wouldn’t mind if ladybug crashed the party

Not everything is about u smh

YEAH OK SURE

;)

“Ooh, are you texting a boy ?” someone near Alya giggled tipsily. She looked up, the smile rapidly evaporating off her face.

“My girlfriend, actually,” she said tersely.

“Oh.” He didn’t seem to know what to say, and went to take a gulp of wine instead. He looked down at the empty glass in his hand, then back at Alya, eyebrows raised. He tipped it towards her with a shamefaced smile and sauntered away in search of a refill.

Alya rolled her eyes. She got up and went into the kitchen, where her mother was preparing a round of hors d'oeuvres.

“Oh, Alya. Can you get me the horseradish out of the fridge?” Marlena asked.

“Yeah.” She grabbed the little glass jar from the refrigerator and, while she was in there, nicked a bottle of the twins’ apple juice. She handed the condiment to her mother and surveyed the plates that were already prepared. “Are any of these ready to go out?”

Marlena looked up. “Hmm. Yeah, the vol-au-vents,” she said, pointing. Alya picked them up and headed back out of the kitchen. “Thank you!” her mother called after her.

Alya, however, didn’t return to the party, but took a detour to her room. She closed the door behind her, resisting the urge to lock it, and shucked off her sweater and shoes. She set an alarm on her cell phone--5 minutes to midnight ought to be enough of a head’s up to rejoin the party in time for champagne.

Then she slouched over to her desk and kicked back in front of her laptop. She could still hear the wine-laced chatter and laughter of the party, and slipped on her headphones. Soon, she was engrossed in her computer, and behind her back the hours melted together. She was only pulled out of it, eventually, by two nearly simultaneous events.

The first was that she suddenly realized she was out of food, and when she looked up to confirm that her empty fingers were indeed only chasing crumbs around the plate, she caught a glimpse of her phone screen lighting up in her peripheral vision.

Alya sighed, and scooted in her chair to grab her phone from the pile of blankets it had nested in. To her surprise, it was now a little over half an hour until midnight.

From: Nono

Maybe the real squad goals was the friends we made along the way

Be there in 10

Alya found her shoes and touched up her makeup, humming to herself. She gathered up the remains of her snack and headed to the kitchen. Her mom wasn’t in there anymore, and as she placed her plate in the sink, she heard her parents’ voices in the din of the party.

Her cell phone buzzed with a new text.

From: Alix K.

We’re here!!!

Come otu

im gay

Bitch me too

Come outsid e

Alya ran for her coat, shouting at her parents as she passed through the hallway. “I’m going to hang out with Nino!”

No response. She paused with her hand on the front doorknob and yelled again. “I’m gonna go out with some friends!”

Her mom poked her head around the corner. “Be quiet,” she said in a stage whisper. “The girls are still asleep.”

“Sorry,” Alya muttered. She lifted her hand from the knob and pointed at the door. “I’m going out, though.”

Marlena squinted at her watch in the dim light. “Be back by one,” was all she said. She headed back to the party, and called over her shoulder, “Have fun, sweetie!”

Alya raced down the stairs, and the moment she set foot outside, she was hit by a snowball. She coughed and swiped at her face, trying to see who threw it through the splotches on her glasses.

She heard Alix and Nino laughing, and Ivan said, “Ooh, nice shot.” She finally cleared off her lenses, and saw Ladybug, standing with her friends, and brushing her hands against her legs to hide the evidence of her crime.

“M--Uh, what are you doing here, Ladybug?” Alya asked incredulously.

Ladybug spread her arms wide. “Celebrating!”

Though Alya was bewildered, she couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face. “Don’t you have, like, other things to do tonight?”

“Honestly? No,” Ladybug said, shrugging. “I can’t think of anyplace else I’d rather be right now.”

“Hell yeah,” Nino agreed. “Marinette said you were bored at your house, so we got a crew together. Sucks that she couldn’t come, though.”

“Oh, well,” Ladybug smirked. “Guess she’s missing out.”

Alya stifled a laugh, and changed the subject before it burst out. “I thought you said Kim was coming?”

“Nah,” Alix said. “Turns out he and Max are at a LAN party, so, you know, they might never leave.”

“That’s fair, though.” Ivan scratched his nose. “Did, uh, they say where they were?” Alix glared at him. “What?”

“Never mind them!” Alya said cheerfully, linking one arm with him and the other with Ladybug. She turned to Nino. “Where are we off to?”

He shrugged. “I didn’t think that far ahead, honestly.”

They wandered to the end of Alya’s street, looking around. There were people everywhere, and the air around them was full of the sounds of Reveillon in full swing.

“Isn’t your friend’s dad putting on his show at the Eiffel Tower?” Ladybug asked.

Ivan shook his head. “Nah, Mylène’s in Canada visiting family. It’s her dad’s understudy.”

“Still, it could be fun,” Nino said. “Anybody got other ideas?”

They didn’t, so they set off.

Ivan fell back, separating from Alya and falling into step with Alix, and Alya leaned in to Ladybug. “I thought you said you were busy,” she whispered.

Ladybug smirked knowingly. “Come on, Alya, we’re never open on New Year’s.”

“But, then…?”

“I thought we could do something different.” Ladybug leaned into Alya, pressing against her side for a brief second before pulling away again, a coy look slipping onto her face. “You know, something exciting.”

“That sounds just fine to me,” Alya replied.

“Can I just say?” Nino interrupted. “You guys are the worst.”

The others turned around and realized that they had fallen into two lines and Nino, being the odd man out, was left to trail along behind them, alone.

“Aw, c’mere,” Alya said. Nino came up to join her and Ladybug, and she slung her free arm around his shoulder. “There. I got my two favorite people with me.”

“I’m surprised I made the list before Marinette,” Nino commented wryly.

“Your favorite, out of the people here?” Ladybug suggested.

“Okay,” Alix interjected. “That just seems needlessly rude. I mean, we’re right here.”

“Well, shit, man, she’s only got two arms,” Ivan retorted.

“I’m just saying,” Alix grumbled.

“And the sidewalk’s hardly wide enough for five people,” Alya added. “I mean, there’s barely enough space for three of us.”

“I could always carry you if it gets too crowded,” Ladybug suggested.

Alya winked. “Maybe some other time.”

The streets got more congested as they went on, and soon they were forced to walk single-file. Alya led the line, holding tightly onto Ladybug’s hand behind her so they wouldn’t be separated. Alix brought up the rear, but she was tired of trailing behind and jumped onto Ivan’s back instead.

With more people around, Ladybug had expected they would be able to blend in more easily, but just the opposite was true. She kept getting stopped, and people would hand their phone to Alya so they could get a picture. It was infuriating, and after a few blocks they stopped to build Ladybug a disguise.

Alix shed her hat and sweatshirt, while Nino held Ivan’s jacket for him so he could offer Ladybug his flannel.

“It’s definitely too big to fit you,” he said apologetically. “But I figure you can tie it around your waist, because none of us are going to give up our pants.”

Ladybug looked down at her conspicuously crimson legs. “Good call,” she replied, zipping Alix’s hoodie over her suit.

Alya stepped forward and unwrapped her scarf, winding it around Ladybug’s neck. “It’s not much by way of a disguise,” she murmured. “But it really helps pull your whole outfit together, I think.”

Ladybug nuzzled into it. “Mmm. Soft.”

“And you’d better take good care of this,” Alya said sternly. “My girlfriend made it for me, got it?”

“Well, it’s nice.” Ladybug winked. “She’s got great taste.”

Alya crossed her arms and smirked. “Uh, hell yeah , she does.”

“Anyway,” Nino interrupted, glaring pointedly at Alya. “I don’t have anything to give you, because apparently I’m a delinquent. Best I could do is a hat, but you’ve already got that covered, so… We should keep going if we want to get good seats.”

They forged on, although the icy sidewalks and tightly-knit crowds seemed to want to separate them at every opportunity. Alix jumped back up on Ivan’s back, and used her perch to peer over all the people and find a clear path. Ladybug jumped and reached for Alya’s hand when someone spoke, but they weren’t addressing her.

“Hey, kids, it’s cold out. Where are your coats?” a stranger called out.

“Your mom’s house,” Nino and Alix shouted in unison. He reached out behind him, and she high-fived him.

“You know,” Alya whispered to Ladybug, “I think Nino’s upset with us for flirting with each other.”

“What? Why?”

Alya tapped her thumb against the big black spot on the back of Ladybug’s hand. “Gee, I don’t know.”

Ladybug wrinkled her nose. “Oh! Aw. He’s trying to defend my honor.”

“Yeah, and he thinks I’m a slut,” Alya pouted. “Oh, well. I guess I do have a type.”

“Hmm,” Ladybug agreed. “Or, everyone just loves you.” She leaned in to kiss Alya on the cheek.

Alya snickered and danced away, as far as she could without letting go of Ladybug’s hand. “Sorry, Ladybug,” she said, clutching dramatically at her chest with her free hand. “But my heart only belongs to one girl.”

“I, however, am incredibly single,” Alix piped up.

Nino rolled his eyes. “Anyway,” he said loudly, “I’m not sure we can snag enough seats next to each other. We might have to split into a few rows.”

Alya looked up in surprise. “Oh, wow. We’re here.”

“That, my friend, is the beauty of the travel montage,” Nino replied.

The show was in mid-act when they arrived, and was much more than a one-man performance. While the mime was there, and he was center-stage on the ground, the air behind him was full of twisting acrobats, on invisible wires and banners of purple and gold, suspended from the Tower itself.

Ladybug kept Alix’s hoodie and Alya’s scarf, but returned the other pieces of her disguise to their owners. They managed to find a cluster of seats, and Alya and Ladybug were finally--relatively--alone. Ladybug rested her head on Alya’s shoulder and laced their fingers together.

“Hey, Marinette?” Alya whispered after a few minutes. “Don’t you think this is maybe a little… I don’t know, dramatic?”

“I think that’s the point,” Ladybug whispered back, watching the mime wrestle with an acrobat some 10 meters above him.

“No, I mean.” Alya waved her hand, trying to encompass the whole convoluted scheme. “Why was Ladybug out tonight? Why did Marinette pretend to be busy? Why not just come hang out without all the fuss?”

“Honestly?” Ladybug looked up at Alya, wincing slightly. “It’s kind of a publicity stunt.”

“Huh?”

Ladybug was quick to amend her statement. “That is to say, we’re just showing people we’re around even when there’s nothing really going on. Like, you know, we’re people, too.”

“In like a ‘don’t do crime because we’re always watching’ way?” Alya asked.

“More like a ‘friendly neighborhood superhero’ thing,” Ladybug suggested. “Chat’s off somewhere too, probably hanging out with his friends. Anyway, I get to do my civic duty and take you on an awesome first date.”

“I’ve literally lost track of how many dates we’ve had,” Alya said. “But this is definitely not the first.”

“You’ve never been on a date with Ladybug before.”

Alya laughed. “It seems like you’re just splitting hairs.”

“Listen, our real first date was just a study date,” Ladybug countered. “I think it’s natural to want a second shot at that.”

Alya hummed in agreement. “Well, then, this is absolutely an improvement.”

“Yeah?”

As if in confirmation, a spray of fireworks shot out behind the Tower, framing all the performers with a backdrop of red and gold sparks as they launched into their grand finale routine. In the distance, the bells of some unseen church chimed midnight.

“Yeah.” Alya slipped her hand under Ladybug’s chin and rubbed her thumb across her cheek.

Ladybug leaned up to peck Alya on the cheek. “Happy New Year, Alya,” she murmured.

“Happy New Year, Marinette.”

FULL LYRICS:

[ Verse 1 ]

Out the windows was a huge flock of birds, Congesting to cover up the sky

Swallowing up the crescent moon ,

Headed some unknown direction.

I had A HALF-FINISHED GAME with   NO SAVE ; A scarcely-touched textbook    lay on my desk

AND TO STOP MY BODY FROM     T R E M B L I N G , I promptly PUT ON     MY     H E A D P H O N E S .

[ Interlude Verse ]

Just as I was listening to AN OBSCURE ARTIST , A number they did with AN UNKNOWN TITLE ,

Just as it came to my ears ,     I H E A R D :

" You     WANT TO S U R V I V E     ‘ Y E S ’ ? "

[ CHORUS 1 ]

Waving over the wriggling world, The skyscrapers seemed                    TO TREMBLE THIS VOICE seemed                    UNMISTAKABLE :

IT WAS    MY OWN ,

... WHICH I WAS TIRED OF HEARING .

" If you    CROSS THAT HILL , then in    20 SECONDS , YOU’LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN , for BETTER or WORSE ”

Don't DOUBT , JUST   L I S T E N   CLOSE :

GO     2 0  S E C O N D S                                  A H E A D . . . "

[ Verse 2 ]

The intersection was CROWDED , of course ; Man, woman, CHILD ,     IT DIDN’T MATTER

I WAS BURIED under   PEOPLE YELLING and babies' cries . . .

[ Interlude Verse 1 ]

PEOPLE CRYING ,   a   SOBBING GIRL ,

A   P R I E S T   P R A Y I N G , I    PASSED THEM ALL BY .

One SINGLE PERSON           headed the OTHER WAY ,

Towards what was BEYOND   THAT HILL .

[ Interlude Verse 2 ]

The voice from   THE H E A D P H O N E S   PERSISTED:

" TWELVE minutes left , "    it told me

If EVERYTHING was going to          UP AND VANISH ,

Then I had                         NO OTHER WAY . . .

[ Chorus 2 ]

The chorus of shrieks and screams

Turned to TEARFUL EYES in   TEN SECONDS

I had my DOUBTS , but no matter  WHO DID WHAT ,

There was     NO ENDING     HUMANITY’S SONG .

" RUN , RUN , there's          1 MINUTE LEFT , "

But I couldn't even hear it by then;

THE HILL     which I thought     to cross

Was

RIGHT BEFORE ME .

[ Interlude Verse ]

MY BREATH FAINT ,     I FINALLY     A R R I V E D ,

Before  A WALL  which projected  THE SKY .

Behind it , scientists in white applauded ;

" MAGNIFICENT , " they SAID -----

Doubt

[ FINAL CHORUS ]

FROM THERE , I saw  THE TOWN

Was some kind of     experimental facility;

" NO LONGER NECESSARY , "

A SCIENTIST said, and calmly     tossed a     B O M B

I WAS TOLD I HAD BEEN LIVING

MY WHOLE LIFE IN A LITTLE WORLD IN A BOX

So I COULD ONLY STARE , D U M B F O U N D E D

At the BURNT WRECKAGE that had been THE TOWN .

And from THE HEADPHONES at     MY EAR,

I heard a faint

"     S O R R Y     " . . .

NOTE:

- You can tell exactly where I ran out of ideas (towards the end) OTL - I DO PLAN TO FINISH THIS AMV PROPERLY SOMEDAY - I’M SORRY - THOUGH - OK BUT SERIOUSLY PLS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TRI & ADVS LORE

[jaylos]

i hated descendants 2 and here's why

a collection of reasons why i am utterly disappointed in this sequel.

warnings: there will be swearing and negative commentary about these ships: Mal/Ben, Evie/Doug, Carlos/Jane. (so basically all the canon pairings lmao)

buckle up this is gonna be long and salty. (also spoilers, duh) (and i take artistic liberty in the capitalization of words and i like to be dramatic)

also check out other rant posts i made bc they kinda tie in with all of this (reading not required in order to understand it tho): magic ban Rise of the Isle of the Lost my thoughts during my first time watching it Bal

1. Characters

Ok i need to go back to d1 for a second: they already did a bad job on introducing the characters to us there. For exapmle: Carlos and technology. He does that thing where he locates the museum or when he turns off the alarm, but without the first book (the isle of the lost) the fact that he is supposedly a tech genius would've flown over everyone's heads. And this is the problem: the movie(s) rely on spin-off media (the books, wicked world) to explain the characters to us. A movie shouldn't have to do that in the first place, but what makes it worse is that the books and the webseries are inconsistent like no tomorrow and also contradict each other on several occasions. Now that wouldn't be so bad if the movies were enough to solidify the characters, but they're not. They also try to patch up plot holes in the books so they don't have to deal with it in the movies. But someone who hasn't read them might wonder how the pirate crew got their ship, and they're offered no explanation in the movie whatsoever. (i'm pretty sure this could've been avoided with a few tweaks to the script tho??)

What I think happened here is that they simply had too many characters and so basically all of them fell flat because they didn't have time to explore them properly. And what did they do in d2? they dragged that problem with them, introduced more characters who's arcs they could half-ass and got rid of what little personality the original characters had.

We don't actually know shit about them. What are their hobbies? What are their interpersonal dynamics like? What are their struggles in Auradon after a life of abuse and neglect? (i'm convinced that that last one can absolutely be dealt with in a child-friendly manner, but instead they brushed it off almost completely. I say almost because we got a few tidbits here and there but those were about as deep as a puddle on a sidewalk)

1.a. Jay

Why is he depicted as a main character when he has less lines & relevance to the plot than Jane?  Even the gotdam dog had some purpose. wouldn't change a thing if Jay wasn't there at all.

l i s ten i love Jay for the character that i made him out to be in my head and through some of the things the fandom has contributed but in canon he is redundant as all fuck.

Also i'm not gonna go into the outfits in this rant bc that's too subjective and is not what contributed to d2 being a bad movie but let's just say i found most of his looks kind of.. off-putting. why they didn't take advantage of Booboo Stewart's beauty is a mystery to me. Especially since his looks are supposed to be Jay's strong suit.

2.b. Chad

He was a completely different character. Not only did his personality shift from deceitful to moronic but his morals changed?? like in d1 he didn't actually play by the rules - he let other people do his homework, and he didn't tell on Evie because he found her cheating wrong but because he wanted payback.

And in d2 he suddenly cares about rules word for word because the writers and the (young) audience already hate him so he can be sexist too i guess. Instead of making him a meaningful threedimensional character that offers a different perspective as the child of a disney hero he was turned into the comic relief and the overdone trope of the jock that lost his status and is now laughed at. Groundbreaking. you hate him i get it i g e t i t. (also stay tuned for the sexism part i'm not done with that)

1.c. Carlos

to get super subjective again: i absolutely hate the direction they went in with his character. why not make him even more nerdy now that he has the freedom to do so? the only thing that referenced his tech stuff was that he supposedly improved their 3D printer. wow. his new hairstyle, the golden headphones etc. were things that don't fit into the impression i got from the first movie and/or the books at all. they didn't even show him tinkering with some device or whatever? how tf am i supposed to believe that he's a techie???

Also in Rise of the Isle of the Lost he is anti-magic for some goshdang reason, but in d2 he asks Mal to help him with magic, which is one of those inconsistencies i was talking about.

1.d. Evie

here's what i would have done with her instead: make 4 Hearts less relevant (do show her sewing and talking about commissions) and let her care for the remaining isle kids from the very beginning. her introduction in d2 could've been her talking about wanting to bring them over, but having difficutly to make it happen (maybe the royal council pushes back or whatever).

instead she spends 6(?) months doing jackshit about the isle kids and only remembers it like halfway through the movie.

1.e. Ben

he just pisses me off. not only is he dismissive and ignorant of Mal's struggles and blames her for when she fails to be perfect, but he is also incompetent as a king, at least when it comes to the Isle. Why the fuck did it take him so long to bring more isle kids over? and why does he need to hear it from Evie first? it was his idea in the first place but then he completely forgets about it for some reason even though he is literally dating a vk. "i guess i've just been busy" with what? being a fuckboy? (also sidenote: there it is again with the "tell don't show" that i've already talked about in the rant about Rise linked above. it's one of the biggest problems i have with the storytelling across all installations in this franchise. Ben is not shown being busy one single time. We're just supposed to believe it because they said so.)

(another sidenote: why the fuck does he have those beast traits, by which i mean all that redundant roaring like i get they want to reference beauty and the beast but do the writers realize that his father was cursed he does not actually have those furry genes)

1.f. Jane

? per s onalit y ?¿?? literally who is she

There's not much to say about the others (some i will cover later when i talk about relationships). Do you know that thing when a character's potential is wasted? In descendants this happens with every last one of them. They're like those cakes that are just for show: they look amazing and tasty but when you take a bite it's cardboard.

2. Plot

pretty basic for the most part, but i personally found the suspense curve really weird. it has two climaxes (? what is plural): 1. the sword fight and 2. at the cotillion. Also i hated that it took place over the course of like 2 days, but that might just be my personal taste. There are some plot holes of varying degrees of annoying. For one, Maleficent probably starved to death in that box because Mal and the writers forgot about her. And her moped is gone, it left, like i should have as well, good-fucking-bye.

Then there's the fact that Mal didn't go back with them because she learned some kind of lesson or grew as a peson or whatever but because she didn't have a choice and they never talked about her initial struggles except "my hair and dress are purple again so it's fine". i mean yeah she said her piece about not fitting in or whatever but we don't actually see it working out after all that trouble?How did the dynamic in their relationship change? who knows.

Then there's the fact that Uma is somewhere in the ocean, she's a giant monster and 100% capable of using magic but no one gives a shit??? at this point i'm willing to bet that in the next isle book it will be explained what happened to her so it doesn't have to be dealt with in descendants 3 and i will scream.

By the way i didn't understand what it was that Ben said that convinced her to retreat, his speech was so lame.

Also the octopus/dragon "fight" was ridiculous. they didn't do shit? Uma was just wiggling around and Mal was floating, which looked stupid because she made flying/gliding motions but stayed in the same spot.

And one thing that really annoyed me is how they only made 5 smoke bombs and then also needed exactly 5. b better prepared u idiots. that whole thing was so weird anyway bc the point was to avoid a fight but it didn't work. maybe it would've worked if they had made more than 5 who knows. and the plan to make them in the first place came completely out of the blue. (-plan? -smoke bombs -k)

Also why did Uma expect the wand to work under the barrier? The only explanation I can think of is that it's because the wand was what created the barrier (although the whole thing about the Isle is that magic Does Not Work and we should have been given an explanation as to why the wand is an exception) but 1. How would Uma know that and 2. If it had been the real wand they could've used it to knock the pirates out or whatever and Uma should've expected that. This whole trade-off thing was sketchy and holey as fuck.

You know what was one of the best things about d1? The parents. I mean this was probably a budget issue but the parents were arguably one of, if not the, most entertaining aspects. and boy could it have been interesting to see the confontation between them and their kids...

The isle was really weird and underwhelming btw. i saw people say it was great bc we got to see more of the isle but did we really? it was just a bunch of disjointed locations and we still have no idea how anything is located in relation to one another, how big it is, or how and how many people actually live there. And why did no one there give a shit that the rotten four were back? most of all Mal, whom the people hated the most for betraying them and becoming a princess. Also why did Mal not go back to her old home instead of this building that was a.. warehouse? their gang hangout?? that came out of nowhere??? correct me if i'm wrong but do they say something along the lines of  "we used to hang out here" even once? why was there a bed in there

And hey remember tourney? It's not even like roar was necessary so that they'd have swords? Also it could have been mentioned like "now that tourney season's over we're focusing on roar" but no?? Let's just forget about it like the writers did.

3. Music

not really much to say, except that they used way too much autotune but i guess overall it's an improvement compared to the first movie but it's whatever. the only thing that confused me about what's my name was that in the movie (as opposed to the music video on youtube etc) there was this weird echo that made it sound like it was playing in another tab with a slight lag??

and another thing that stuck out to me was it's going down: the rap parts were already hella uncomfortable to watch but when ben started singing i just about died of secondhand embarrassment it's so bad lmao.

4. The Thing With Lonnie

Don't get me wrong, i love that she got a bigger part and that she's a good swordfighter and whatnot.

BUT:

First of all, why is it even a thing that the roar rule book has gendered language like that? i mean aren't there countless women in auradon who have proven over and over again that they're just as capable as man? why does Lonnie need to prove anything. especially since her mother is mulan of all people???

listen, the exploitation of gendered language has brought forth some great moments (eg: lotr "i am no man") but it's getting old. Girls and women have proven countless times that they can do "anything a boy can". how many times more does it have to happen until we can take the next step?

And it wasn't even handled well in d2. Sure, Lonnie's captain now, but do we really have to wait until d3 (or god forbid the next book in the isle series where the movie can lean back and let the book do all the storytelling work) for something to actually change in a system that is still misogynistic for whatever goddamn reason??

for this sideplot not to fail miserably like it did, what should have happened is that Lonnie changes the rules so that anyone can join the team, because as we were left it was still "captain and 8 men". we did not see the actual change happening and this was a half-assed attempt at this tired old "girl power" shit.

in this kind of storyline we only ever see the first step, we never see the actual progress that follows. it's always just "huh, i guess girls aren't useless after all" it's 2017 get with the program and move the fuck on.

OR just drop this overdone trope and have a team consisting of different genders from the very beginning.

It's time to tell girls that they don't need to prove themselves in order to be respected.

5. Relationships jesus christ here we go

okay okay there is a number of things that get my blood b o i l i n g and one of them is lazy fictional heterosexual romances and boy oh boy is this movie a fucking gold mine in that regard.

5.a. let's take a look at janelos first (don't worry i will talk shit about bal and devie individually as well): it's boring, shallow, if it was a spice it would be flour. look, if you ship it, by all means be my fucking guest. i even encourage you to write fanfiction or do something to make something out of this bland ass mess of a supposed romantic relationship.

it's a perfect example of what is wrong with this kind of fictional romance. first of all i will disregard the books bc 1. the movies shouldn't need the books for that, yadda yadda and 2. they don't do much to save it anyway. so. it's the easy route, the tried and true formular, and that's the problem. he was a boy, she was a girl, and that's enough to make their interest in each other believable, right? the answer is no. it's lazily written and i am tired™. why, how, when did they fall in love? are they even friends? what do they have in common? what activities do they enjoy together? those are all things we don't know, this relationship comes out of nowhere. how did they go from not even so much as look at each other in the first movie to being head over heels for each other? and not to mention, was it worth sacrificing their personalities for? you guessed it the answer is no yet again. Neither Carlos nor Jane receive any character development whatsoever. None. They could have done so much with them (if you hear a strange sound it's me weeping).

And it is replaceable. Change their names and it won't make the slightest bit of difference, because this relationship does not have one single distinguishable trait (in fact it has no traits period) compared to the 87632947 others out there. it is so. generic. and frankly i don't understand how people can settle for it. i mean i get how people can just watch the movie and not care bc why would they, but how does someone look at this and go "yes, this is a well-written romance" ????? ? ? up your standards people.

and now some predictions that came (somewhat) true from that Heterosexual Romantic Subplot Bullshit Bingo i wanted to make for d2 but never finished:

- by the end their relationship won’t have developed like at all, but they dance together to show us that they’ve come sUcH a LoNg waY

- one wants to ask the other out/they both want to ask each other out, but they’re too shy and also the plot keeps interrupting them.

- it will take away screentime they could have used to give them actual character development.

- jane won't receive an arc besides being and obligatory love interest.

- carlos tries talking to her but he stammers and it’s supposed to be cute.

5.b. Devie

Like i get that Doug is jealous bc of his own insecurities but what is hip with the kids in the year of our lord 2k17 is mutual trust and communication. To think that Evie would cheat on him is such an insult tbh?? And why did Evie not tell him where she was going in the first place? i mean granted i could think of a few reasons why she wouldn't but we don't even see her give a shit bc Doug is irrelevant in her quest to go and sing a duet with the person she'd rather be dating. She probably just forgot about Doug like I, the viewer, did the second he left the screen.

Also it's just the same bs again. We don't know shit about their relationship. What is it like? What do they enjoy doing together? What is their dynamic? Doug could literally be a pair of Pradas and it wouldn't make a difference.

But for real tho can we go back on how he accuses her of cheating?? like wow dude that's so gross  pls don't present that to young viewers as cute because i assure you it is not.

5.c. Bal (h e r e w e g o)

Ben is such a bad boyfriend omg. I mean i get that he couldn't possibly understand what Mal is going through, but he isn't even trying. She changes everything about herself and he doesn't get suspicious in the least. And apparently they don't talk about anything that matters because 1. Mal can't be honest with him (she dragged all that shit around with her for ~6 months!!!) and 2. he would know more about the isle (but he has no clue).

out of all the relationships in this movie this is the one they should've put some effort into. i mean they succeeded in making Ben look like a dick but that wasn't their intention so i just ended up feeling sorry for Mal for being stuck with him bc it's ~true love~ .

Mal to Ben: "you've always known who we were" he didn't tho?? just bc he gave her a purple dress in that stained glass picture? he could've just told her that instead of letting her suffer for months bc she thought he'd leave her if she was more like herself. and that's the resolution, Mal shouldn't have been worried oh how silly of her! i guess everything is fine after all!

but you know actually their love for each other is totally believable bc they had an emotional and heart-wrenching duet together - oh wait.

A big reason why Sofia Carson and Dove Cameron got a duet is probably because they're professional singers and Mitchell Hope apparently can't get out a single correct note without 10 layers of autotune but when the story is about true love saving the day shouldn't that aspect get a little more attention? i mean don't get me wrong i like that the duet between mal and evie is there at all (but hey @disney make it gay you cowards) bc the friendships between the characters and especially the vk's don't get nearly as much attention as they should.

not to go on a tangent about how hand-holding and forehead-touching can totally be platonic but put next to Ben and Mal who Do Not Do That it makes their romantic relationship even less exciting. like, i don't know why i should care about it.

also while typing this i realized that it's not really that different from other movies and i thought hey, maybe i'm being too hard on it, but then i remembered that 99% of all canon heterosexual romantic relationships are bland and boring and i need writers to try harder (or try at all) because i am bored to death by the same shit over and over again.

i know i'm wasting way too much energy on this but i was already too invested in descendants so might as well go all the way amirite. i just had to get it all off my chest. if you need me to elaborate on anything feel free to message me.

and the first movie wasn't all that good btw, it is trashy in a way that was enjoyable, but the second one is just trash.

so yeah all in all that script was just straight up a pile of garbage consisting of washed-out tropes and no amount of bright colors or catchy songs can save it.

Peter Parker - Remix

AN/ We allllll know what video this is based off of. When Tom Holland did Lip sync battles. I thought I could incorporate that with a fic of good ole Pete.

The remix I use is the glee remix though! https://youtu.be/vab-m9ZTBVU

WARNING! I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE BUT I'M CHANGING PARTS

Masterlist

(YN ) ran up to her best friend and shoved him with her shoulder. He looked over with a smile and took out one of his ear buds, handing it over. Umbrella by Rihanna blasted, and she started to sing along:

"Baby it's raining. Oh baby it's raining. mmmmm. It's pouring rain, oh it's pouring rain."

The song fades, and Peter laughs at her singing. "What? You don't like my singing?" He chuckles more,

"No! I-I love your singing! Muy Bien!" It's her turn to laugh,

"Peter, you know I take french, but gracias." she looks at his sweater and starts to think as Singing in the Rain came over his ear bud. His soft eyes were looking at her nice, shinny (HC) hair, and the cute blue T-Shirt she had on, that had a cat in the pocket. But he smiled when he remembered that when you pull down the pocket that the design is behind, the rest of the cat can be seen. The funny part it that the cat is flipping you off. That's one of the many reasons why he liked (YN) so much. Her humor was darker than his, but it still made him smile. And her laid back personality calmed him down, especially in school when anxiety was high around Flash, or Liz.

He was pulled out of his day dream when (YN) was moving her backpack to grab her music book and pen. She flipped to a page with room to write something down. That's what she did. She made music. Whether it be original, or music mashups, for the past two years, all music ideas were scrawled down in that notebook. The best part was that Peter had gotten her that when Flash had pushed hers into a puddle two years ago.

She looked up to Peter with that special look in her eye,

"Peter, I know how this playlist has all your favorite songs, and we've listened to the same songs for a long time-"

"W-well that's because they're good. Don't diss my jams, (YN)." She laughs,

"I wouldn't dream about it Parker! But I think I have found a new mash that you'll lo-" She was cut off when she realised she didn't have his attention. She looked to her right to see Liz. (YN) gave a hard smile, and pulled the ear bud out, walking a couple inches to her left, getting into her locker, that's right next to Peter's. She focused on her locker and not the jumbled mess Peter was becoming, due to talking to Liz.

"-So you'll be there right?"

"Y-yeah! I'll be- making- there- I... I'll see you then!" Liz turned, and walked away. (YN) walked back to the spot where she was, the pep in her step missing.

"What was that about, webhead?" He looked down to her frantic, but still smiling,

"I told you not to call me that!" She rolled her eyes and nudged him with her shoulder, willing him to go on, "Liz invited me to her party." His smile fades as her eyes look down, and a frown etched into her lips. "What?"

"Nothing. It's just... This is your first night without the 'internship' and I thought we would hang."

Peter's eyes went big,

"Well! we can still hang out! Just at Liz's party!" She sucked in her lips, to make a fine line, while nodding her head. She lifted her hand to rake her hand through his rich brown wave of hair, life she always did when she was saying good bye. She put her own earbuds in and walked to her first class by herself.

Cinnamon Roll: Hey! Are U OK?

(YNN): Yee, y wouldn't I b?

Cinnamon Roll: U walked alone to 1st period. I usually walk u. So, are you sure you're okay?

(YNN): Yes Peter, I'm fine. Im goin home right after school, so u can do arachnid stuff thn get ready 4 the party. Ill just b doin my normal stuff. no big

~

(YN) walked over to the frantic tapping on her window. She knew who it was, but her current activity was awesome, and (YN) was pretty pissed at him. She pressed the power buttons on her three computer monitors, and pulled her headphones off. She used all her might to push the desk, her rolling chair moving to the other side of the room to the window. (YN) opens it, and Peter bursts in. His happiness immediately rubbing off on (YN), and placing a large smile on her face, that matches the one Peter was wearing.

"(YN)! You will not believe what happened!"

"What! Out with it, Parker! And you should also tell me why you didn't respond to any of my texts when you guys were in DC! I saw the news! Dick move Peter! I was Worried!" Her voice dripped with anger. Her smile was gone, and (YN)'s brows were pulled down. But all he did was plop down on her bed, and look up to the ceiling.

"I know, I know. I have a lot of explaining. But I'm gonna cut to the past thirty minutes. I was walking from detention- And there's Liz. We started talking, and she asked me to homecoming!"

(YN) nodded her head, and looked down, going over everything that just went down.

Her best friend, who she thought was dead, and didn't respond to her frantic calls just got back. But instead of explaining his absence, his time as Spider-Man. Why he didn't call her back, so she could hear her favorite light, high, and airy voice. The one voice that gets flustered so easily, but can change, just like that. The one voice that was fluid when they were together, making it seem that he was comfortable around her, and only her. The one voice, that belongs to the boy with cute sweaters and ironic/funny T-shirts. The one boy who swept her heart away when his alter ego saved her, and told only her, his true identity. The only boy named Peter Parker. Or at least, the only Peter Parker she ever cared, or will care about.

The one Peter Parker who stole her heart, and will never give it back, even when he leaves Love Central with a one way ticket to Liz Town.

"That's great Peter. Look, I've got this project to do." She still wouldn't meet his eyes, even when he sat up, then walked to the window. It was only when he was out the window, and was closing it did she look, "Good night. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah. Yeah, I'll see you." And he left to his window next to hers, two more windows down.

~

It was thirty minutes until Homecoming. Peter was frantic, and he didn't know why. He's convinced himself that it was because this was it. He's finally going with the girl he's been pining after for such a long time. But at the same time, somehow, it doesn't feel right. He heard May laugh and say 'Come in! You know you're always welcome!' Her voice got louder, giving away that she was walking towards his door,

"Are you going to the dance? Do you need a ride?"

"No, that's okay. I wasn't asked to the dance. I just wanted to drop this off."

"Oh," May's voice sounded sad, "Well, okay. He's in there."

Peter opened his door to find (YN) dressed in her favorite T-shirt, jeans, and converse. That just made it sink deeper that he won't share this night with the right feeling. And hearing that no one asked her made his stomach fall even more. But seeing her face, strangely calmed him. Her eyes had a pain in them, but a small smile graced her lips,

"Hey, Pete. Wow. You look... Dashing. Uhhh...Here. The mix I came up with while you were gone. I know it was a while ago since I said I had the idea, but it took me forever to get the old gang back together." She handed him the CD, and it had a small umbrella drawn in sharpie on it. His brow raised,

"Gang? What did you get into (YN)? Do I need to call Spider-Man?"

This made her huff out a breath, that hadn't been fully developed into a chuckle. A bigger smile had made the slightest appearance, but it was enough for Peter's heart to jump.

"No. I promised you I'd get you into a capella. So I sent over some sheet music to my old singing group back in (Hometown)." She smiled again, but this time it wiped from her face all together. "You should play it for Liz. It's my best one yet, and maybe letting her hear your crazy music choices early, will let her ease into it later. And who knows, maybe she'll sing too-" she cut herself off, while cringing at herself. She wanted to be happy for him. But him standing there, holding the corsage meant for Liz. His slicked back hair, and the tie she knew he didn't do himself. It was too much, and her great facade quickly began to melt away. "Never mind! See you later." She  started to leave, but stopped at the front door, yelling back,

"You look handsome tonight, Peter."

~

The car ride to Liz's house was quiet. Him and May were only halfway there when she finally piped up,

"Are you going to put in the CD, or not?"

"W-what?"

"I know you're excited for Liz, and tonight, but you've been staring at the CD the whole time. She's amazing, and I know what you're thinking. But you have already committed to Liz. I'll help you make it up to (YN) later."

"I-I still d-don't know-"

"Yes you do. Put in the CD."

Peter pressed the eject button, and the radio spits out the last CD (YN) gave to them. Peter looked from the CD to Aunt May, who was already giving him a look.  He popped it in, and it started with the males heying,

But then he heard it. The oh so familiar voice, singing one of his favorite songs. Umbrella. But then Singing in the Rain clashed with it, to make a beautiful mix. The female ensemble singing umbrella in the back, while the men sing the opening heys. Then the two songs overlap. And (YN)'s voice humming, and singing the song in just the right way, leading the whole mix. And she wrote it herself, which, makes it all the more special.

"AWWWW MAN! May! I've made a mistake. And I also think I'm... I...... Love?"

"I know Peter. But it's late, aaaannnndd, we're already here at Liz's place."

LLSIF Things 35: Searching for the 9% smile centre

EN

But first, how about that score match? Here are a few times I came first and got 0 points rip.

omg +1!! so happy thanks

but yeah, coming 2nd was like a death trap last SM. :( Hopefully the next one is better.

When I left for work on the last morning we had 2 hours until maintenance. EN was in the 300s for score tier, Helix in the 200s. In those 2 hours I dropped to 3000 and 2000. Rip tier 1.

But thanks for Nozo in T3. She’s made the team!

1 chance. 1 opportunity.

This is fine.

Naturally idolised Aqours scorer? Yeah, this is actually better than getting either of the rate up SRs tbh.

Goodbye and thanks for the gems and seals

5 sacrifices because I had to find 30 gems for this surprise!

fuck. Thanks...for the seal...

There it is! My B-combo on Nico Puri! Now let’s look forward to an A-combo some time...

Finally October 1st came and I could buy the skill ups for her <3

JP

I was expecting this to be worse.

JP only sacrificed this?

thanks

Good

Me: I love close together birthdays Me at the end of October: how do I save for 2 step up boxes? Me in December: why are there no birthdays??

A very strange thing happened to me here. Suddenly the notes fucked up (hence the 6 misses) and then came down the screen very slowly. Someone on Reddit had the same thing, but theirs was caused by turning on bluetooth headphones. Why it happened to me was a mystery.

Fuck this medfest. How hard is it for you to give me these 3 songs?? I rolled for days. We were over halfway through the event before I rolled this for the first time.

I spent 4 gems on the event. I rolled this line up only 3 times. THREE FUCKIN TIMES. Lucky JP is rich, but I guess I also didn’t have to spend on boosts because I only paid for them 3 times.

And then there’s this bullshit where u think you’ve rolled it, but it’s only Sentimental Steps.

Thnaks for the seal.

I actually spent some time in score T1 this event. First time that’s happened. But it wasn;t enough to stay there. tfw if I’d rolled it more times and got better friend supports I might have done it. 

Me: I am saving for Eli and Rin’s birthdays. Klab:

A smile scorer w 1st yrs bonus! Fuck. My weakness. The only other one in the game is Maid Rin (Helix is a lucky bastard who doesn’t even make use of her skill rip).

ok nice SSR. But they’re both healers rip

pls no I am running a cool 2nd yrs team.

fookin smashed it

ok good now I have gems for another pull!

Mate. I briefly thought I’d got 2 halloween Dias and was about to celebrate. But no. Instead I have sexy ass circus Dia. Also Mari nooo I can’t use you is2g.

OHHHHH SHIIIIITT. THIS IS THE GOOD SHIT

HAHAHAH cheer, klab. New UR coming soon ;)

I had a dream my 5STs got me the new Hanamaru, but instead all I got was this Ruby. 

Helix

Helix also suffered from (0) in the SM. But check this out:

That’s the highest I ever saw one of my accounts get.

And Samurai Nozomi joined the pure Lily White team :D

smashed it

wow rate up working for once

ouch. This is bad. I have her, and she was up for sacrificing.

Helix is getting a bit ruthless now. Like, didn’t get a 2nd copy of the event SR? Get rid of it! I wouldn’t have rejected the Chika if she was a scorer though.

Both accounts were so poor rip

At least it’s a new card.

wtf is this how has Helix B-combo’d Nico Puri??

pfft. JUST.

I wasn’t sure I’d get this one. But I did. Shame about Cutie Panther, but it was a dream.

Every time I decide not to buy the skill up SRs, I do because Helix has seals falling out its ears.

level 3 for everyone!

Went to a Homestuck meet and got a fellow trash to scout this for me. Just after we’d both agreed Kotori was bottom of the pile. 

And at said meet I was distracted and thought Wao-Wao Powerful Day was over. But it wasn��t. Rip 60LP.

So seeing as it was my Dad’s birthday I made him a SIF-style gift.

It was all linked to food, so I found lots of foody cards. But also his original Umi R and the good old ‘Happy Birthday to You’ joke.

Turns out he’s bought the starter packs and could be on his way to being a dolphin haha.
