Fruits Basket Manga Review , ch 107- 108

se03, ep 6 is weakest ep in se03 despite it being tohru’s long waited focus & having the biggest plot keys & character impactful moments & one of the best pining hug scenes in anime history “ thro the laundry sheets at sunset”. Reading the chapter that starts this ep in the manga made me feel so happy & so angry.. I lament all the subtle yet effective changes & the powerful character-influenced changes that the anime ditched for cheap drama or unexplained wide shot.

-The Art of Subtlety: Power Resides in Words:

In se03, ep 6 when tohru tells kyo that Isuzu will be staying at Kazuma’s, kyo responds that” then Master won’t feel lonely”. Meaning after his imprisonment. Huge gut wrenching moment since kyo doesnt know that tohru knows abt his imprisonment.

The anime chooses to displayed it in their mandatory style of “ kyoru-moment inside shigure house : which is widen the shot so much to include yuki & shigure & flatten the emotional impact to include other characters reaction that has nothing to do with the moment itself... They never consider zooming into the kyo-tohru reactions to their words, then widen the moment o include yuki, shigure, the tv, the woods, kyoko’s grave or the moon if they want to.. Complete lack of understanding of the emotional impact. This isn’t abt romantic lovey dovey moment. This is abt character development. The biggest loser i this design is : Tohru’s emotions. God, I hate how bland she is in the anime in regards to situations that affect HER.

Also, the anime chooses to squeeze in another moment here, which is kyo’s reaction to tohru’s grave visit & still lacks in showing the emotional depth even here & opted for what? yup! you guessed it. Widen the shot to include yuki & shigure. At this point I wonder why kyo & tohru didnt adopt yuki & shigure & took them with them in their house by the end of the story. To complete the tradition of these two poor guys witnessing everything..-_-’. Jokes aside, This doesn't just affect kyo-tohru. But also reflects badly at shigure & yuki. They become an unwanted third-wheels without proper plot or character driven reason. In good story-telling “ forced-third wheeling has a purpose!!”, such as to transfusion to the 3rd character moment or to be later used for the 3rd character driving emotional moment. not just a reminder that characters X & Y live here & therefore see this & that.. This is an example of missing the impactful design of the moment. I dont even understand how can someone miss such basic story-telling devices... 

Lets look at only 3 panels from the manga:

See how in the above panels in the focus is on tohru’s emotions. This is Tohru’s focus why not show her emotions instead of her stupid wide eyed, new eye lashes face & zooming out on tohru to include yuki for no reason!!!!! The anime is capable of focusing on characters pain, we saw that wioth yuki dozens of times. The anime is capable of focusing on showing facial emotions, we saw this with kyo in all his focused eps! Why can’t they give tohru half of that.. Just look, she looks like spacing out thinking of what to cook~ lala~ gotta feed the boys.!! zoom out on her & her purpose on the story~~~~~

-The power of words is unbelievable~~

Kyo’s little sentence of being happy Isuzu will stay with kazuma, destroyed tohru. Look how the manga makes tohru continues to think abt it. You might wonder why will the author do this? The author is building towards tohru realizing her romantic love & uncovering her traumatic attachment to her mom. Reminds you of sth? the 6 or 7 eps that se02 dedicated to yuki where every sentence established his journey towards facing his emotions. In se02, yuki thought abt the words of many characters until he reached his conclusion. The anime refused to give tohru ONE sentence.

-Powerful Character-Influenced Moments:

The manga made rohru leave screaming abt wanting the curse to break before spring. Why? because (a) tohru must be giving time to think abt HERSELF, not the cat or the curse, so tohru wander around thinking abt her mom, we saw that in the anime.  the the moment of shigure tells tohru abt the zodiacs ugly spirit & delight at seeing the cat suffers happens right before kyo finds crying tohru. Why? because (a) it was established that kyo will visit kazuma, so no weird out of no where lover finds lover in the streets for loving support moment, (b) to make kyo’s emotional support to tohru reasonable. In the anime, he saw her crying & comforted her assuming she cried cuz of the grave visit or sth, it was never hinted at anything, cuz kyo never gets any inner thoughts until it is his dramatic moments, but here he comforts her cuz he thinks she’s upset abt Isuzu, why oh why you write this thing out??????????????????????????????????

Not enough eps? but you gave motoko half an ep?!!! Why write off your main protagonist? I dont get it??? why intentional make tohru one-denominational character. Either yuki’s momma or a girl in love.... Is that what women are for the anime? a caring loving mothers & good lovers?

-Shigure’s words are to tohru are so watered down in the anime. Here he connects everything to the major plot of “ zodiacs turing into cute animals ” premise of the story, this is not sth cute as the early story made it out yo be. I love this!!!! why the anime cut it! Tohru screams when shigure brings an unavoidable question. Ask yuki & the the others whom tohru loves & believes they’re the kindest. Ask them of they KNOW kyo will be locked & are relieved! so cruel & shocking thing to thin abnt that shatters tohru’s world! shigure knows tohri will NEVER ask! so true to his character! epic moment! My best shigure-tohri moment! both of them NOT hiding anything & both in theit lowest moment!!  INGENUOUS WRITING!!! so plot-worthy!!! WHY CUT IT!!!

Kyo finds tohru cuz he saw her sad! bringing the realistic aspect of story-telling & ditching the dunb superficial coincidence.

Look at how tohru uncovers her trauma little by little:

parallel between loosing her mom & loosing kyo. By showing this, the readers/ viwer will begin to be prepared to question tohru’s “ I cant love mom more than kyo”. The following chapters will for sure dive into this deeper, writing tohru as more understandably, more flawed., more real. Nothing like a the fixer for grown men, nothing like an angelic mom, nothing like the princess saved by the prince’s love. Basically, nothing like her shallow anime self.

Side Notes:

I was right abt the anime wanting to close Isuzu & Haru’s arc in ep 5, cuz in this chapter we have a lil scene that is the follow up with their plotline. Haru wanting to thank Kureno & asing Isuzu to never risk herself. It’s the little things that add depth to characters.. but I get it Haru in se03 can no longer support yuki cuz yuki have Kakeru, so his plotline is reduced to isuzu’s lover & that was closed in ep 5. Isuzu still had few things to add to the plot in ep 6 which is be tohru’s unfiltered deep talk partner. 

The sad reality of the anime focusing on wide shots lost us yet another good emotional impact besides kyo-tohru moments. This time, we lost kazuma’s reaction to isuzu being held in cat’s room & haru/yuki’s reaction to kazuma’s sadness.. The anime gives us wide shot to include all the room. so,Screw haru & yuki’s reaction???.. they dont care abt the cat? is that it? nope, cuz this reasoning requires emotional depth of hate & disgust. The anime just loves wide shots “ so artistic~” but the real reason, the anime is flying in bullet speed in this ep to include as much as it can to save place for the “ new added moment of kyoru’s united shock” & still include the intro & outro... yep, ep6 is the weakest ep in design...

More on ep 6 in the following chapters, I guess. I’ll stop here this time. I’m so mad.. I’ll calm down & read the flowing two chapters later to articylate proper thoughts.

 I hate hate how tohru was done so dirty! I’m loving everything abt her so far in the manga, but when I remember her in the anime! ugh! I still love kyo & yuki’s anime stories. But tohru, nope. I stopped loving her in se02 once the beach arc is over & she became a full mother to yuki & nothing more. I adore her character & she’s so endearing, but My God, she’s so bland in the anime, just the lightest version of her manga self... so light, it’s a shame she’s a protagonist...

I really wonder how manga readers feel abt the lack of tohru’s focus & lost emotional depth? is tohru even popular in the manga days? I know kyo is popular & i know lots adore yuli’s growth. but what abt tohru? I’m curious how manga readers felt watching her butchered arc in se03?

The Girl Not To Worry About and The Boy To Stay Away From (JJ X Reader X Rafe)

I’d love with you did that request with JJ breaking up with the reader for Kiara and getting with Rafe ❤️+omg please do jj leaving reader to be with kiara and reader going to kiss/hook up/ date or whatever with rafe because jj always told her not to be around him 😭

You and JJ had been dating for 9 months now. Everyone in your life started to have a label.John.B was like your brother, Pope was the person you vented to and Kiara was always the girl everyone told you not to worry about.JJ told you constantly that she was nothing more than a friend and that he loved you and only you.

But now you found yourself sitting across from him, your eyes becoming glassy. “Wow, JJ. You’re leaving me for the girl you promised me you didn’t like. Are you kidding me?”You asked, blinking the tears away as your sadness was quickly replaced with anger.

He gulped, pulling at his hair as he avoided your gaze. “I’m sorry.”He muttered, not sure about what to say. You sighed, looking down at the ground for a moment before standing up and walking past him.

You went into John.B’s house, slamming the door behind you as you rushed into the room that you had shared with JJ, stuffing your bras, underwear, shirts, and shorts into your bag before heading for the front door.

Kie sat up on the couch, confused. “It’s only nine, where are you going?”She asked, oblivious to what had just happened. You stared back at her for a moment, considering cussing her out but eventually deciding against it, getting into your car, and speeding to your house.

You sat in your driveway, head against the steering wheel as you took deep breaths, the tears coming from your eyes and rolling down your face and onto your neck. You licked your lips, glad that your mom wasn’t home. You grabbed your bag, going inside and into your room, not even bothering to turn on the light before collapsing onto your bed. 

Every day felt the same, boring and bland with nothing to do. You would go to bed at four in the morning, waking up at two in the afternoon and living off of tortillas and iced coffee. You had 49 missed calls from Kiara and at least fifty on SC, eventually having to turn off all of your alerts. You knew that you couldn’t be mad at Kiara, it wasn’t her fault that she was perfect.

 You laid on your bed, the fitted sheet had given up days ago, only your comforter keeping you safe from the cold air in your room. Your laptop was currently playing Gordon Ramsey, his insults making you smile as more tears rolled down your cheeks.

 You were still wearing the clothes that you were wearing that night. You weren’t even sure how long ago that had been. The cups had piled up, creating mountains on your dresser and floor. You smelled bad and your hair was disgusting and messy.

 You knew that you should get up and shower, brush your hair and teeth and make yourself a proper meal and get over JJ but it was easier said than done. You hadn’t pooped in days and you figured it was because you weren’t eating enough to even create poop in the first place.

 You didn’t even know if you had slept or just zoned out for hours at a time. The cycle probably would’ve never ended if it weren’t for a knock on your door. At first, you ignored it, figuring it was just a mail person and they’d give up and leave the package. Then the knock came again and again, eight times by the time you decided to get up.

 The cold air hit you hard, not used to the atmosphere outside of your comforter. You stomped down your stairs, face and neck wet from your tears as you opened the door, almost scared that you’d rip it off its hinges. “What the fuck do you want?”You asked, not understanding why the hell Rafe Cameron would be standing in your doorway.

 He chuckled, taking in your appearance. Your eyes were bloodshot, dark circles under your eyes, and the skin on your nose peeling from how many times it had been wiped. Your hair was oily, knotted, and all-around disgusting. “Your mom told me to come and check if you were alive, she paid me two hundred to do it.”He replied.

 You nodded, going to close the door when he stuck his foot between the wood and the door frame. “Where the fuck are you going?”He asked, pushing the door in and stepping into the house. “This is my house.”You reminded him, holding the door open.

 “Yeah, okay. But I got paid two hundred dollars for this, I gotta do what I gotta do.”He replied, going into your kitchen. “And what do you have to do exactly? Clearly, I’m alive.”You grumbled, slamming the door shut. “You don’t look it.”He replied, taking one of the few cans of sprite and your fridge and opening it.

 “So you came in here to bully me?”You asked, regretting opening the door in the first place. He shrugged, taking a long sip of the fizzy soda. “I gotta do what I gotta do, you’ve been a mess since that pogue left you.”He replied, your heart aching. You sniffed, feeling your eyes getting watery again. “You know about that.”You sighed, pulling at the sleeves of your sweatshirt.

 He hummed, putting the can down. “Everyone does but you can’t really do much about that, nope. Now get in the shower.”He told you. You were more than angry. Angry at the fact that Rafe thought he could come in and tell you what to do in your own house, angry that everyone knew what happened, angry at JJ, angry at your mother for sending Rafe in the first place.

 You didn’t understand when your life got so fucked up. Rafe had always been the guy that you were supposed to stay away from. You didn’t really know why other than the fact that he and JJ had this weird rivalry between them. You wondered what JJ was doing right now. He was probably fucking Kiara or drinking a beer.

 You should’ve known this would happen eventually. You felt a few tears roll down your face, rolling your eyes and wiping them away. “Or what?”You asked, crossing your arms over your chest. He smirked, running at you and picking you up, running down your hallway and kicking your bathroom door open as you smacked his back and head.

 “PUT ME DOWN!”You shouted, kicking him. He sighed, placing you down as he turned on the shower, grabbing a towel from your closet. “Shower.”He told you, turning around and going to leave when he heard the faucet turn off. You knew that it would be a good idea to shower but you didn’t want to do it just because Rafe Cameron told you to.

 That would mean he had some sort of power over you.He turned around, sighing. “So fucking difficult.”He muttered, turning on the shower again only for you to reach over and turn it off.He glared at you, turning it back on before picking you up and putting you under the cold water while you were still fully clothed, a big grin on his face before he ran out of the bathroom.

 You gasped, your hair becoming wet and your clothes sticking to you as you sprinted out of the bathroom, jumping onto Rafe’s back. “ASSHOLE!”You screamed at him.He laughed as you messed up his hair, getting his clothes wet.

 “Yeah?”He asked, a stupid smile on his face.You stared up at him, becoming angrier and angrier with every second.Why did he have to laugh so often?Couldnt he see how upset you were with him?Why did he find this so funny?He frowned, noticing. 

“Hey, im just trying to help, okay?At least you’re a little happier now.”He replied, backing away from you and tugging at his now wet shirt.You sighed, scratching at your scalp.Your hand got caught up in one of the knots, hissing in pain.

 He gave you a look of sympathy, grabbing your hand gently and guiding you back into the bathroom, turning off the water and reaching across to grab a bottle of conditioner.Your eyebrows furrowed, trying to figure out what he was doing.

 He glanced down at the floor before sitting on the toilet, asking you to sit on the floor.You raised your eyebrows, shaking your head. “If you think im about to give you a fucking blow job in my bathroom-”You started only to be cut off. 

“Can you shut the fuck up and let me do something nice for you?Seriously, do you ever shut the hell up?”He asked, squirting conditioner into the palm of his hand.You sighed, giving up and eventually sitting down, your back facing him.

 He grinned, rubbing the conditioner into the ends of your hair. “Wheezie does this when she gets back from the beach and her hairs all fucked up.”He muttered, explaining himself as he put more conditioner into his hands, rubbing it into your scalp and roots. 

You could’ve fallen asleep right there, forehead resting against his thigh as he massaged your scalp. “Are you asleep?”He asked, trying not to grin.You hummed, letting him know that you were awake.He sighed, rubbing his thumbs over the back of your neck, not really ready to let you go yet. 

“Why dont you brush your teeth and get in the shower, okay?”He asked, his fingers ghosting over your temple.You nodded, standing up and waiting for him to leave.It took him a minute, his cheeks flushing before he left, heading for your bedroom. 

You brushed your teeth slowly, looking in the mirror and frowning at how bad you really looked, hoping a shower would fix it all.You took off your clothes, getting conditioner inside your shirt but not even caring as you stepped into the shoer, rinsing out the conditioner and noticing how smooth your hair felt.

Rafe went into your room, starting by taking out the dishes and then moving on to the mess that was your bed, taking your overheating laptop off and forcing the sheets back on.You got out of the shower, feeling a little better after crying for a while, staying until the water got cool.

You wrapped the towel around your body, picking up your dirty clothes and putting them into the basket in your bathroom before going into your bedroom, confused when you saw Rafe. “What the hell is this?”He asked, holding up a large grey sweatshirt.

You sighed, knowing that it was JJ’s. “Is this his?EW-”He threw it on the floor, wiping his hand on his shorts. “Yeah, no.We’re burning that.”He kicked it across the room, looking back into your drawer and finding a light pink hoodie that he had seen you wear before, tossing it to you.

He belly flopped onto your bed, face buried in the pillow so you could change.You huffed, making sure he couldnt see anything before you let the towel fall, pulling on the hoodie and a pair of shorts. “Can I look?”He asked, voice muffled by your pillow.

You hummed, sitting at the foot of the bed with your hands in your lap.He looked over at you, raising an eyebrow. “Why do you look so grumpy?”He asked, rolling onto his back. “I dunno….I mean my boyfriend left me for another girl and now you’re here and you refuse to leave.”You shrugged.He chuckled, fighting the urge to pull you into a hug. 

“You cant just let him win.Come on, you gotta live a little.”He told you, standing back up and opening your drawers, grabbing anything that looked like it belonged to JJ and throwing it onto your floor. “What are you doing?”You asked, watching as the hoodies and t shirts piled up on your floor. 

“We’re getting rid of the past, my therapist told me that holding on to the things that hurt you is bad for your mental health or something.”He replied, closing your drawers once he was satisfied.You frowned, realising just how much JJ influenced your life.

He kicked the pile a few times, looking over at you.You got what he was trying to tell you, standing up and beginning to kick the pile too.You stepped on one of the shirts, kicking one of the hoodies so hard that it went under your bed.He smiled, watching you take out your anger on the pile.

 “See?It feels good.”He watched as you kicked the clothes, laughing. “What a fucking asshole.”You muttered, taking in a deep breath.He nodded in agreement, hesitantly wrapping his arms around you.You stiffened up, not knowing how to feel about it.

You eventually hugged him back, arms around his waist and your head against his chest, enjoying his warmth.You never thought you’d be in this position.You were supposed to hate Rafe and now you were hugging him.He rubbed your back and your wet hair, his face red.

 Eventually your body gave out, sitting on the bed while you still held onto him, his fingers running over your jaw and temple.You sighed, eyes closed as you leaned against him.He kneeled on the floor, your head on his shoulder now.

His hands cupped your face, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “You should go brush your hair….”He told you, still not letting go.You nodded, looking up at him.His eyes flicked down for a moment, looking back into your eyes before letting go of you, watching as you got up and went back to the bathroom.

You tugged the brush through your hair, the sweatshirt getting wet as drops got splashed onto the mirror and bathroom counter.Rafe sat on your bed for a few minutes, deciding to go check on you.You were halfway done with brushing your hair, sighing at all the knots that had built up.

He took the brush from you, standing behind you as he brushed your hair, holding his hand under the locks so the brush wouldnt hit your shoulder. “You should delete all your pictures of him, it’ll help with your phone storage.”He mumbled, grinning when he defeated one of the many knots.

You shrugged, wincing when he pulled the brush through your hair. “Sorry.”He mumbled, glad once the knots were finally out.He pulled your hair off your shoulders, resting his chin on your shoulder, arms making their way around your waist.You could feel his breath on your neck, staring at your reflection as he pressed a light kiss to your neck.

 “He never deserved you, you know.”He muttered, looking into the mirror.Your hands rested on his, leaning against his chest.He smiled, kisses being pressed up and down your neck, another one on your temple. “I could never imagine leaving you for Kiara, I mean, shes pretty but she could never be you.”He muttered.

You raised your eyebrows, turning around to look at him. “Serious?”You asked, not really believing him.He hummed, pressing another kiss to your forehead.Rafe’s hands grazed over your sides lightly, sending a shiver up your spine. “I can help you forget about him.”He spoke softly, his forehead resting against yours.You gulped, thinking about it.

He moved slowly, unbelievably close to you. “Do you wanna forget about him?”He asked, his hands slipping under the pink hoodie.You nodded, your hands going to the back of his neck so you could kiss him.

He was unbelievably gentle, barely touching you.His knees felt weak, not able to believe what was happening right now.You pulled away for a second, taking in a deep breath.He smiled, biting his lip.

 “You okay?”He asked, his thumbs rubbing your hips. “Yeah.”You smiled, kissing him lightly.The two of you ended up in your bedroom, gentle kisses being pressed to your neck and collarbones.

 “We dont have to do this.”He reminded you.You nodded. “I know, but I want to.”You answered.He hummed, kissing your forehead. “Tell me what to do, princess.”He whispered, sucking a hickey on your neck.

You reached for the hem of his shirt, pulling it off of him.He smiled, watching as you stared at his chest, slowly grabbing his arms so he would fall under you.He smiled, watching as you pulled down his pants, just straddling him for a few moments, tracing patterns along his chest.

You sighed softly, not sure if you were ready to do this.It felt like you would be betraying JJ even if he had betrayed your first. “Hey, you okay?”He asked, noticing how you were hesitating.

You nodded, kissing him gently. “Its just...I dunno.It feels weird.”You muttered, getting off of him.He turned on his side, looking up at you. “Weird how?”He asked, his hand resting on your thigh.You shrugged. 

“Its just weird...being around a guy thats not JJ.”You admitted, feeling guilt in your stomach.He frowned, resting his head against your knee. “Good weird?”He asked.You shrugged, twirling his hair. 

“Neutral weird.”You answered.He nodded, his eyes not leaving your face. “So do you want me to leave?”He offered.You shook your head, kissing him lightly. “Nope.”You replied, pulling away from him fully when your phone rang.

Your heart thumped in your chest, eyes wide as JJ’s photo flashed on your screen.Rafe shook his head, trying to get you to ignore it and frowning when you answered. “Hey...do you have a minute to talk?”JJ asked, his voice high pitched like he had been crying.Fuck.

[alecodys]

a comprehensive ranking of all batman-related media i have consumed

anne has inspired me and since one of the many batmen is responsible for my favorite film of all time and objectively the BEST film of all time i decided to make a ranking of all of the media ive watched. under the cut of course

10. justice league (2016) 

this is objectively the worst version of batman ive ever seen. i hate ben affleck with a burning passion and seeing his ugly mug as my beloved batman makes me want to punch my tv. i have not seen batman vs superman but i can only imagine it would be worse. this film is rated lower than the snyder directed version because the director blatantly harrassed poc on set and cut scenes related to the flash, cyborg, and aquaman, and they were literally the best part of this film. wouldve been better if shazam was in it. 

9. suicide squad

only on this list because of joker and harley. i regret seeing this movie but its somewhat better than justice league (2016) and i wish i didnt have to include it on this list at all.

8. justice league (snyder cut)

i dont like this either but at least i have more of my boys

7. batman and robin

i dont remember anything of this film because i saw it on my mom’s tv when i was four years old but the part i do remember is poison ivy hypnotising robin or whatever it is she does? i dunno i just thought robin was hot. also kevlar nipples

6. short funnies i watch about batman and joker on youtube

quality varies

5. the lego justice league film i dont remember the name of

ranks above batman and robin because i remember slightly more of it. i remember being really confused about why batman was wearing a grey suit? like, just light grey. thats not how batman rolls. he dresses EXCLUSIVELY in black. and sometimes, very very dark grey. anyways i liked the plot with the joker even though everyone involved was not memorable in the slightest and i thought it was cool that they established batman’s kryptonite stash early on because of his distrust of superman because that isnt really brought up often in film (aside from in recent films but i hate them) and then it was utilised later. good stuff

4. batman beyond

i havent watched every episode of this show but i know i like it :thumbsup:

3. the lego movie

YES this movie counts. it has batman in it and he is a large part of the supporting cast. i like him and i think hes funny even if he can be somewhat bland at times due to his entire character being “incompetent yet famous emo superhero”. does develop slightly by the end of the film however it entirely revolves around a love triangle. also no i have no seen the lego movie 2

2. justice league (animated tv series) and justice league unlimited

I LIKE THESE SHOWS EQUALLY. also gave me a deep appreciation for martian manhunter and the flash. i could say more but its been a while and i dont remember much and i have not seen every episode of either series.

1. the lego batman movie

all of my mutuals saw this coming. id have to make a fucking video essay to portray just how deeply in love i am with every aspect of this film. it is a cinematic masterpiece and is the sole reason for my deep infatuation with the joker (and yes, it is only this specific incarnation of him, zack galifianakis i love you) and will arnett is a fantastic choice for batman, something i did not mention in the lego movie section but absolutely should have. barbara is a girlboss, commissioner gordon has little to no input which is good, and robin is literally the greatest child character to ever be written by adults. also its gay

[lennonsprincess]

Paul getting really excited about his boyfriend (john) coming home after filming how I won the war, so he does the laundry for the sheets and everything, and lights candles and makes their bedroom look really romantic and he gets dressed in laungery so that they can have kinky (daddy kink, bottom paul) sex right when john gets home? And a detailed blow job if you dont mind?

*smut*

John/Paul

Paul walked into the bedroom quickly with a basket of clean bedsheets in his arms. John was finally coming home after many long days of filming How I Won The War, and Paul was missing him like crazy. He missed waking up in the morning to his head buried in the crook of John’s neck, and John’s strong arm wrapped around his waist. He missed John’s jokes and sarcasm, and although it could get on his nerves, Paul’s life seemed a bit bland without it. Most importantly Paul missed getting fucked day and night. He almost felt guilty about how much he missed waking up and barely being able to walk.

Paul threw the sheets on the bed, smoothening then out with his hands, then standing back to look at it. He needed this to be perfect. He felt as if the slightest wrinkle could affect his and John’s entire night. Once Paul was happy with the appearance of the bed, he walked over to the drawer of his bedside table and grabbed a few candles and a match. He placed the candles on the table and lit them, chuckling to himself at how cliche the bedroom looked. Paul quickly looked at his watch, heart pounding as he realized John would be here any minute. He quickly ran to his closet, rummaging to the back of it until he found his favourite pair of lace panties. Well, it was more like John’s favourite pair of lace panties, since they weren’t too comfortable to wear, but Paul knew it would turn him on more than anything so he quickly slipped them on. Paul suddenly heard the door open, which sent him to quickly pull up his pants and run over to the door, a big smile on his face.

“John!” Paul said happily, as he ran out of the bedroom. 

“Hey Pau-“ John was suddenly cut off by Paul’s lips on his. He placed his hands on Paul’s waist and started to deepen the kiss.  

“Don’t ever do that again.” Paul breathed out, breaking the kiss. 

“Do what?” John said with a grin, pulling Paul in for another kiss. 

Paul moaned into the kiss as John slipped his tongue between Paul’s plump lips. John slowly moved his hands down Paul’s torso, stopping at his ass to give it a squeeze. “Oh how I missed this arse.” John huffed out.

“Just my arse?” Paul said with a fake frown. 

John laughed. “Yeah.”

Paul rolled his eyes and hit John on the shoulder, he then grabbed John’s arm, and roughly pulled him towards the bedroom.

“Woah, already?” John said with a laugh. “I gotta unpack my bags.”

“Fuck your bags” Paul said, as they entered the bedroom. “I haven’t been fucked in weeks. I think this is more important.” 

John smirked at Paul as he saw the set up of the bedroom.

“Oh don’t worry, baby. I’ll fuck you hard enough to make up for the weeks I missed.” John growled, as he pushed Paul onto the bed.

“You better.” 

John quickly jumped on top of Paul, starting to attack his neck with kisses.

“I like this little set up you’ve got going here, baby.” John said motioning to the candles. “Mmm... you must be so desperate... haven’t been fucked in weeks, you couldn’t wait for me to get home.” John pulled Paul’s shirt over his head, followed by his own.

“Oh god... all I’ve had for the last couple days were my fingers. But it’s not enough, it never is... I need you... daddy...” Paul moaned as he bucked up against John. 

John groaned at the use of the word daddy. “Oh daddy’s gonna fuck you so hard kitten... gosh you have no idea how much I miss being inside you.” John said as he started to unbutton Paul’s pants. Paul waited in anticipation for John to see his little get up. 

John started to pull Paul’s pants down, and gasped as he started to see a splash of pink peek out from his jeans. 

“Oh baby you didn’t...” John said as he pulled Paul’s pants all the way down. “Oh fuck baby... oh Paulie. God I love you so much... mmm.” John moaned as he pulled Paul’s pants over his feet and tossed them onto the floor. John stares down at Paul, letting his eyes run all over his body. He was wearing the most beautiful pair of pink panties that were staining his erection perfectly. 

“Oh kitten, I can’t wait to destroy you.” John said through gritted teeth as he dove into attack Paul with more kisses.

“Mmm... do it... destroy me.” Paul moaned in between kisses. 

After John heard those words he quickly stopped kissing Paul. John moved his hands down to unbuckle his own pants, slowly taking them off to reveal his straining erection under his boxers. Paul’s mouth nearly started watering as he saw how hard John was, and he could barely control himself when he sprung up to put his hands on John’s throbbing cock. 

“Mmm... you’re so hard daddy.” Paul said, slowly rubbing John through his underwear. 

“Yeah...mm and it’s all from you kitten.” John stifled a moan as Paul pulled down his underwear, finally releasing his dick. 

Paul looked down at John’s huge dick, and he knew he was already drooling. He couldn’t take it anymore and finally wrapped his plump lips around the head of John’s cock.

“Oh yes baby!” John moaned as Paul took him fully into his mouth, running his tongue down the side of it as he pulled it back out. Paul looked up at John with big doe eyes, looking for instruction of what to do next. John groaned in frustration and wrapped his hand in Paul’s hair, pulling him forward to take his dick all the way down his throat. Paul gagged at the force John used, but quickly opened his throat and nearly swallowed John’s entire dick. 

“Oh fuck baby... mm that’s it. Such a good boy, taking my entire dick down your throat...mmm.” 

Paul moaned around John’s cock at those words, sending vibrations up the dick in his mouth, causing John to let out a loud moan. Paul took his focus off of John’s cock and looked up at John, who had his head thrown back, while muttering out praises. Suddenly, John tugged Paul’s hair roughly, and thrusted his hips into Paul’s face, causing Paul to gag and choke on John’s thick cock that was clogging his airway.

“Oh baby... you’re doing so well mmm... I’m about to cum.” John quickly pulled Paul off his cock by his hair, causing Paul to let out a small whimper. “I wanna cum in your ass baby... why don’t you get on your back for me.” 

Paul obediently rolled onto his back, spreading his legs, with his panties straining his own erection. John grinned at the sight of Paul. He loved it when Paul was like this, so obedient and submissive, yet so innocent. It made him want to absolutely wreck the perfect specimen that was Paul.

John slowly crawled over to Paul, hovering over him in a possessive manor that sent a shiver down Paul’s spine. John moved Paul’s panties to the side so he had a perfect view of Paul’s already prepped hole, it made John imagine Paul spread out alone on this very bed, fingering himself. 

“I want you to beg baby... beg for me to fuck you.” John growled as he stuck a finger in Paul’s wet hole.

“Oh daddy! Please fuck me... mmm! I need you more than anything. I need your big cock to fill my aching hole... oh god you have no idea how much I need you daddy!” Paul nearly screamed, not giving a fuck about how slutty he sounded. He just needed John to fuck him. 

John smirked and lined his cock up with Paul’s hole. 

“Good boy”

John slammed his cock into Paul’s hole, not even thinking about going slow. 

“Ah! D-daddy! Mmm fuck!” Paul squeaked as he felt himself being stretched like that for the first time in a long time. 

“Oh fuck, princess. You’re so tight... mm... I can’t believe I ever left you.” John moaned as he picked up his pace. The bed started to shake as he rammed into Paul with as much force as he could. 

“Mm! F-fuck me daddy! Mmm m-more, harder!” Paul screamed as John’s cock hit all the perfect spots inside him. He wasn’t going to last long. “Oh daddy... hm! I’m ‘bout to cum!” Paul moaned, his entire body starting to shake. 

“Oh me to kitten... mm... cum with me.” John groaned as he rode out his orgasm, releasing his hot cum inside Paul and filling him up to the brim. 

“D-daddy!” Paul shrieked as he felt John fill him up, triggering himself cum untouched. 

“Oh baby...” John huffed out, pulling himself out of Paul. He watched as his cum started to leak out of Paul and run down his thighs. John moved up to Paul’s sweaty face and placed a sloppy kiss on his lips. 

“Please don’t leave me again Johnny...” Paul said quietly, cuddling close to John. 

“I won’t baby... I won’t”

Psycho-Pass Week 2019

Day 2: Yellow/ Joy

After so many years spent surrounded by nothing but unyielding white, Kagari will always remember how amazed he was at how colorful the world outside was. All of the colors stood out individually in his mind but particularly among them that first warm, cheerful shade of yellow.

This story can also be read on AO3.

The first thing Kagari noticed as he stepped outside after leaving the rehabilitation center was the vibrant tone of the light that illuminated the area. Rather than the harsh whiteness that he was familiar with, a subtle, cheerful yellow hue seemed to glow in the air around him. A wide closed-lipped smile stretched across his face as he held out a hand, turning it back and forth in front of himself as he noted the difference in his skin’s appearance in the new shade of light, leaving it looking warm and alive for once instead of sickly and washed out.

 Tilting his head back Kagari shaded his eyes against the brightness, noting that the sun above him too shone with the same yellow hue. After being surrounded by so much unyielding white for year after year, he was pretty sure that the change was one he could quickly grow used to.

 “Don’t stare at the sun Enforcer Kagari,… you’ll damage your eyesight.” came a curt voice from behind him.

Turning Kagari blinked away the bright spots that dotted his vision, revealing the form of Inspector Ginoza once they had cleared. He presented the Inspector with an overly broad, toothy smile along with a mock salute. “…Sure thing, Gino-san.”

 Ginoza sighed, pushing his glasses further up his nose with one hand as he frowned faintly. “You are to address me as Inspector Ginoza, enforcer.”

 Kagari’s smile faded, his lips instead pursing themselves in an unseen pout behind Ginoza’s back, as he followed the Inspector toward the waiting car.

 Even Inspector Ginoza’s irritated tone could not dim Kagari’s mood for long however. As they drove through the city it was all Kagari could do to keep from pressing his nose against the window beside where he was seated in the back of the car, as he took in the bright flashing lights of the signs and displays that surrounded them with unbridled excitement.

From all angles a variety of colors ranging from pinks and reds, to blues and purples blinked and flickered at him, interspersed with vibrant yellow flashes which caught and held Kagari’s attention until they moved out of sight as the car traveled onward. As they passed by a sign that Kagari dimly remembered from his childhood, he leaned his forehead against the window for a better look, after a moment determining it to be for a restaurant.

 Kagari looked away from the window just in time to catch sight of Ginoza’s eyes watching him in the rearview mirror before they turned away, some emotion that Kagari couldn’t quite place but still found rankled him, flickering in their depths for an instant. Kagari turned away from the inspector, his lip curling.

 A slight huff preceded Ginoza’s next words, which were spoken a moment later. “Have you eaten?”

 Eyes widening with surprise Kagari’s gaze jerked back to Ginoza, words failing him at the moment. It was well past lunchtime, and as the rehabilitation facility had been informed that Kagari would be picked up by an inspector by that time, the bland lunch Kagari would normally have been given had been deemed unnecessary, with the assumption that he would have been transferred to MWPSB headquarters by then. He could only shake his head in a negative response still shocked over the unexpected question.

Kagari’s surprise only deepened as Ginoza replied with a quiet grunt, shifting the car to manual control before diverting their course away from headquarters and onto the nearest off ramp.

 As the car came to a stop in the parking lot of the restaurant and Kagari was ordered out, he looked around curiously at his surroundings taking in the sights and sounds more intently during the few more moments he was being granted to remain outside of confinement. Following Ginoza inside the building Kagari stared in wonder at the colorful menu of meal options that appeared and vanished before him, already beginning to salivate. Everything he saw looked so good in comparison to the tasteless, colorless meals he had known for the majority of his life. Feeling like it might be impossible to choose just one Kagari jabbered enthusiastically about each new item to Ginoza as it appeared.

 “…Just choose one Enforcer Kagari…” ordered Ginoza, his growing impatience becoming more and more obvious the longer Kagari’s comments went on.

 “Aww Gino-san,… how can I pick just one?!” retorted Kagari, his eyes still fixed on the brilliantly colored menu. “I mean just look at that one, it looks like it’d be great. …And that other one has some sort of toy with it. It looks like it’d be kind of a small portion though. How am I supposed to decide?”

 Ignoring being addressed incorrectly once more for the moment, Ginoza looked at Kagari with an incredulous expression. “…Are you a child Enforcer Kagari?”

 Heat sprang to Kagari’s cheeks instantly at the tone in Ginoza’s voice, hoping that his embarrassment was not actually visible on his face. “…No…” he muttered, cramming his hands in his pockets as he turned his head to glare at nothing.

 After Kagari had placed his order, Ginoza directed him to sit at a table that was within his sight, and well away from any of the restaurants other patrons, warning Kagari that he was watching him and any inappropriate behavior would not be overlooked. Falling into a seat at the table with a huff Kagari folded his arms across his chest, turning his head slightly to watch out of the corner of his eye as Ginoza spoke with the person taking people’s orders for a few moments longer before heading toward where Kagari was seated.

 A short time later when a serving drone arrived with their meals Kagari was stunned to see that on the tray with the larger meal he had ordered, sat a small yellow egg shaped toy identical to the ones in the set that had been pictured with the children’s meal. Kagari’s smile lit up his face as he snatched his toy from the tray, his mouth already open to speak as he turned toward Ginoza, who glared at him fiercely for a moment before looking away.

 “Finish your meal quickly Enforcer. We’ve wasted enough time here already.” said Ginoza sharply, using his fork to stab at his own meal with unnecessary force as he spoke.

 Kagari’s smile twisted toward wryness as he remained silent, tucking the  brightly colored toy away in his coat pocket and patting it once to make sure it was secure, before he turned his attention toward his food. During the ride back Kagari took the toy back out of his pocket once more, happily playing with it and the miniature figurine inside, as he continued watching the colorful lights of the city flash past the car’s window.

 This might not turn out to be so bad after all… thought Kagari as he looked down at the lemony shell in his hand. In spite of ‘Inspector Ginoza’s’ fairly prickly personality,… at the very least things could be worse.  

 Eventually he managed to collect the rest of the set of toys and all of them, that first cheerfully yellow one included, found a place of dubious honor tucked under the edge of one of his workstation’s computer screens.

 ~~~~~~

 During the weeks he spent recovering from his injuries after the sparring match he had proposed with Kogami, Kagari occupied his time settling on the décor and furnishings for the quarters he would be occupying as an enforcer. After all he had little else to do while stuck in the office all day, being currently barred from working in the field. And besides, that last thing he wanted was to end up stuck living in a boring, colorless space like he had been during his years in the rehabilitation center.

 As a result the selections for the furniture he was scrolling through were all either brightly colored, or boldly patterned, with his favorites so far being a pink and blue striped couch with a set of chairs each matching one of the stripe colors. Or the second option he was considering, which Kagari decided he would ask Yayoi’s opinion on.

  “What do you think about this, Kuni-chi?” asked Kagari as he swiveled slightly toward where Yayoi sat turning the tablet he was holding so that the female enforcer could see the selection of potential furniture that was displayed on it.

“…Really?” asked Yayoi as she looked up from the music book she was idly flipping through, her nose wrinkling almost imperceptibly at the nearly incandescent yellow shade of the couch and chairs that were displayed on Kagari’s tablet.

 Ignoring Yayoi’s reaction, Kagari’s grin only broadened as he punched in the confirmation of his selection. “They’re perfect!” he stated, nodding to himself as he set about picking more things to fill out the rest of the décor for his quarters.

 Yayoi continued eyeing Kagari for a few moments longer before going back to her own reading.

 ~~~~~~

After the décor and furnishings for Kagari’s had been settled on and put into place, he was finally beginning to feel as if he were beginning to become adjusted to this new life outside of the rehabilitation facility. The other enforcers in Division One had decided to throw a ‘quarters-warming’ party to welcome Kagari to the group, now that he was fully healed and allowed to start working in the field with the rest of them. Old man Masaoka had insisted on cooking for the event, and Kogami had somehow persuaded Ginoza to let him off shift a half hour or so early, so that he could assist Masaoka and Kagari in getting the food for the party ready.

 Kogami had been assigned to cut the vegetables that were needed, while Masaoka handled the majority of the cooking and seasoning of the meals himself. In spite of Kagari’s supposed role of helping as well, he had been told to do little beyond occasionally stirring the contents of a pot or pan while Masaoka was busy with something else, and had spent the majority of his time sitting on the other side of the bar watching the other two work and admiring the vivid colors of the food that was being prepared. He especially was enjoying watching the bubbling golden surface of the oil that bubbled in a pan that had something frying in it, and the vivid yellow of the pepper Kogami was currently slicing up.

 “Do the different colored ones taste different from each other?” asked Kagari finally, leaning forward a bit over the countertop as he paused in swinging his legs.

 A half smile twitched one side of Masaoka’s mouth upward as he chuckled motioning toward Kogami with the handle of the spoon he was holding. “Why don’t you try them and find out for yourself? …Hey Ko, give him a bit of each of them.” Instructed Masaoka, snatching up a small dish from beside the stovetop, placing it a bit closer to where the other enforcer was working.

 Kogami’s gaze lifted from the cutting board in front of him for a moment, his eyes flicking toward Masaoka before he picked up the dish, putting a small slice of the yellow pepper on it before moving to flick a slice of the green and red peppers that he had already cut onto the dish as well. Stepping back toward where Kagari was he placed the dish in front of him, his expression unchanging though Kagari noticed that even as Kogami resumed his work he was still watching, waiting to see Kagari’s response.

 Ignoring the continued sensation of both Kogami and Masaoka’s eyes on him Kagari caught up the bit of green pepper and took a bite, his nose wrinkling a bit at the unfamiliar flavor before moving on to sample the others. As he bit into the yellow pepper slice Kagari’s eyes widened.

 “…Woah, this one tasted kind of sweet!” exclaimed Kagari looking back up at Masaoka in surprise.

 A broad smile split Masaoka’s face as he nodded, motioning toward the remaining bit of red pepper that was still on the dish. “And that one is even sweeter.”

 “Weird…” murmured Kagari his enthusiastic smile drawing an amused sounding huff from Kogami as he turned back to dicing the last of the vegetables.

 By the time that Masaoka had finished cooking the others began to arrive, the room quickly filling with unrestrained laughter and chatter as they settled in. To Kagari’s surprise even Inspector Ginoza came, staying for the first part of the party and bringing with him a small, unusual looking figurine as a housewarming gift.

 As the evening wore on and the food and celebratory drinks were consumed freely by nearly everyone, Kagari found himself to be pleasantly tipsy. He assumed that the others were as well, given that Kogami had taken to entertaining the group with card tricks accompanied by terrible jokes and puns that had Kagari doubled over laughing so hard that tears had come to his eyes. And Masaoka had taken to chuckling in quiet amusement at Kagari’s retorts, even going so far to ruffle his hair once or twice, while Yayoi simply smiled slightly, trading out her usual kicks to Kagari’s shins for elbowing his side instead.

 Where the food was concerned, Kagari thought that old man Masaoka’s cooking was probably the best thing he had ever eaten and had already decided that he wanted to become just as good a cook someday.

 Later on, after the party had come to a close and the others had wandered off to their own quarters with lazy calls of good night, Kagari let out a satisfied sigh, spreading his arms as he let himself fall backwards onto the yellow leather of his couch.

 Cleaning up could wait till later… he decided, shifting so that he could stretch himself out fully on the couch. Wrapping his arms around himself as he tipped his head back against the arm of the couch, Kagari was unable to stop the large, genuine grin that spread across his face when he thought back over the evening. He felt as if small sparks of excitement and happiness were dancing under his skin, while at the same time feeling as if he were wrapped up in a warm, fuzzy blanket of contentment.

 He wondered if this was what other people meant, when they talked about feeling joy.

Pocky (Costume Change): A little on the nose to change both her garb and the chair into something more royal. - Chocolate bar (Intense cravings)

>this was way too much. At least too much to leave her bound like this. Sure, she'd been larger, by far, before, but it had been awhile since anyone had left her so tied up she couldn't do anything during.

>she wanted more, but she also wanted out

>when the next snack appeared, she was surprised by the apparent lightness of the fare. A simple wafer stick, one end dipped in chocolate, being proffered by the hand holding it rather than forced upon her.

Oh

Well Thankyou That Does Look Good

Do You Think You Could Perhaps

Hh

Untie Me Dear I Really

Guh

Really Would Like To Move

>the hand doesn't respond, and she can only shake her head and sigh, before leaning forward and taking the stick in her mouth. It had been worth a shot, at least.

>the pocky was nice though, if a little bland, and it isn't long before she's chewed it up and swallowed it. Which is of course when the changes begin.

>to Kanaya, what happened next would be imperceptible, as if they had always been. Across her body, and the chair she was bound to too, things began to change. Her jeans, stretched tight, began to shift, billowing outward, finally allowing her lower half to reach its full potential. Swelling and growing, she plumped and plumped, her thighs growing thick as tree trunks and her hips and ass widening to match. They squeezed against the arms of the chair, threatening to break it through if it hadn't also begun to change to accomodate

>the seat below her widened as she spread, passing three, four feet wide, the candy chair keeping pace the whole time. It began to change color, and shape, going from red to gold and solidifying, shaping itself into an enormous, high backed throne, with plenty of room for the girl within to both lounge and grow against its red velvet cushions. The licorice vines about her arms and legs fell away, being replaced with loose restraints of rope made from spun gold, holding her only nominally in place

>by the time the transformation is complete, Kanaya is seated, royally, regally, in her throne, dressed in the attire of a monarch, a glittering crown resting upon her head. Her top, intricately patterned and made of the finest textiles, was cut low, her bra now fit, allowing her breasts to settle naturally, and showing off a deep valley of cleavage

>around her waist the outfit parted, allowing her round, fat belly to sit freely on her lap, a piercing of precious platinum and jade dangling from her navel

>resplendent, imposing, she sat in her throne casting a scornful gaze about the room as the final elements of her transformation completed. Gone was the huffing mess of of a girl who had been there mere moments ago. Here was an empress who knew exactly what she deserved to recieve, and would get it, one way or the other

BlackKklansman

So, for the third year running I’ve decided to watch and review the Oscar movies in preparation for Hollywood’s biggest night. I was worried I wouldn’t have time to finish this because I was just overseas for a month, but I think I’ll be able to finish them in time. However to make sure I do so, I’ve decided to only watch the Best Picture nominees this year, as opposed to the acting and animation categories.

So without further ado, let’s start off with BlackKkKlansman.

I went into this film with few expectations. I’d heard semi-positive rumblings and the premise seemed pretty interesting. I’ve never seen a Spike Lee Joint before (which just speaks to how few films I’ve actually seen…) so I was interested to see what people liked so much about this acclaimed director.

BlackKkKlansman does many things well. First and foremost, the main character Ron Stallworth is well written and extremely likeable and sympathetic. I really appreciated that he kept a level head and stood between two extreme groups and ideologies; Black power and White supremacy and navigated them well. This great character is brought to life by a fantastic performance from John David Washington. He brought a lot of charisma and class to the role, while also being very likeable.

The side characters are equally interesting, Adam Driver did a great job portraying Stallworth’s partner in the operation. He effectively portrayed how difficult it was for his character to pretend to agree with the Klan’s ideals and his scenes where he was undercover were simultaneously entertaining and confronting. I also quite enjoyed the character of Patrice, a member of the Black Power movement who gets involved with Stallworth.

An aspect of this film, which has been widely discussed - and criticised by some - is how this film keeps a rather light tone, despite its subject matter.  I personally didn’t have a problem with this, or find that it impeded on the film as a whole. I am a big believer in films that present reality as it is: a crude mixture of humour and drama. Films that take themselves too seriously and get too down in the dumps for no reason tend to bore and irritate me, so I’m glad BlackKklansman didn’t go that route. I actually found that Lee did a very good job of balancing the tonality in this film. Because he manages to keep the humorous scenes enjoyable and light, while driving his point home very effectively. I fluctuated between grinning and frowning during this film numerous times, but the transitions felt smooth and natural.

I have a couple of topics I find are rather overdone when it comes to “artistic films”, especially period films, The Second World War and race relations in America to name a few. I think these topics have been done too many times for my liking and the more recent productions tend to bring little newness to the topics. What I’m trying to say here is that I am tiring of films that touch on racism but do little novel with it. I’m happy to say that I don’t think BlackKklansman suffers that problem. Because the way in which Lee decides to tell this story that hasn’t been told before sets this film apart, in my opinion.

I will say that I found the characters in the Klan to be rather bland and stereotypical one-dimensional racists. I think they would have benefited from having some added complexity. I also found that the references to today to be a little forced and heavy handed at times. While I think the cut in the final few minutes to the Charlottesville rally that recently took place to be very effective, there were other moments where it almost felt as if the characters were going to turn and look into the camera. What they were saying was just so heavy handed and obvious. In those few instances the film would have benefitted from a bit more subtlety. There were also a couple of stylistic choices and camera angles that bothered me and didn’t make much sense.

But overall, I found this to be an effective, interesting film. I don’t think its absolutely incredible or particularly groundbreaking, but it kept me entertained and did something new with a subject matter that has been discussed numerous times over the years.

IT’s a date! (x3) Part 2 - I am here...for your date: Midoriya

AN: OMG remember when I said I’d have this posted in a few days almost three weeks ago? Do you ever have moments when you’re like, “Yes I have time to do this.” and the universe is like “....The F*** you do.” Well, anyways here we are, Midoriya takes Y/N on their first date. (should also note here Y/N can be whomever you want but my inspiration is my typical Melanin Queen <3) 

Also, how do you taglist ppl on this thing? Sorry, I’ll learn, halp a old, broken, millennial queen? ​

Link to Part 1 HERE 

Midoriya, the ever calm, ever sweet little bean of Class 1-A sat eagerly in your hospital room, admiring the work he had done while you were in physical therapy. He hoped you’d like it. He understood that underneath all of the streamers and hero décor it was still as stuffy hospital room, but he had made a promise to you and damnit (dare he say it), you were going to have nothing but a good time.

It was Monday. Midoriya’s time to shine. 

Taking a step out of your room and sliding the door closed to not ruin the surprise he sat in one of the gray chairs in the hospital hallway, his mind wandering back to how he, Todoroki, and Bakugou ironed out the details to this unique event...

Several Days earlier

“L/N made it out of surgery as expected.” The doctor began only to be cut off by the rather battered group of soon-to-be heroes that stood eagerly outside of the surgical unit. 

“Y/N....did they...did they die?” 

“He said as expected you moron!” Bakugou’s brash voice cut through the air, causing Midoriya to bristle and Todoroki to sink in his chair with slight embarrassment.

THe doctor cleared his throat slightly before continuing, “Yes Young Shoto, the surgery went well and we were able to stabilize their injuries'. It will be a difficult road to recovery, but seeing as they’re in the care of our hospital staff, and you three, I think they’ll be just fine.” 

All three of them began to light up at the cheeks before turning away to some object other than the unsuspecting doctor. Midoriya, the tile floor, Todoroki, a lamp, Bakugou, he was practically burning holes through the ceiling. 

Midoriya was first to speak, “The date! We promised Y/N dates!” 

“But they’re in the hospital for the next several weeks at least.” Todoroki added, “I don’t think they will let them leave.” 

“We’ll plan them here!” The green haired boy smiled, “It will be fun!” 

The three of them spent the next hour ironing out the details. And by ironing out the details it meant heavy arguing, Todoroki’s deadpan replies, Bakugou’s screaming, and Midoriya using several pages of paper to write and rewrite the arrangements. 

“Okay I think we got it!” The scribe let out a heavy sigh, staring at the piece of paper, “I’ll take Y/N on Monday, Todoroki, you have Wednesday, and Kacchan will finish on Friday...so strange Kacchan usually you’d like to go first in everything.” 

“That’s because Bakugou likes Y/N.” Todoroki said without blinking an eye.

“WHAT! Take that back you IcyHot bastard you don't know squat!” 

“Oh I guess that does make sense.” Midoriya nodded, “That way you can see what we’re planning and have something to top them all. That’s so sweet Kacchan-”

“Don’t agree with him Deku!” 

“You two would make an odd couple.” Todorki chimed in, ignoring the heated blond,  “But maybe having a girlfriend would calm you down a bit.” 

“I’LL KILL YOU BOTH!”

Present

“Oh hey Midoriya.” Your voice caught the student by alarm, shaking him out of his trip down a rather loud and painful memory lane.

“Oh, Hey Y/N - wait! Dont open that yet!” He jumped to his feet, scrambling over to the door.

You narrowed your eyes, rotating the wheels of your wheelchair in an attempt to nudge the boy out of your way. 

“Give me one second! Just have to-finish up one last thing!” Midoriya quickly slipped through your hospital room door, leaving you bursting with both irritation and anticipation. After a few moments he finally slid the door open, “Okay its ready!” 

“Better be.” You huffed while wheeling yourself forward, “I had a long as day and I’m-”

Before you could finish your words your mouth hung open, taking in your once bland hospital room, now adorned in purple, white, and yellow decor. 

“I hope you like it.” The student asked while smiling and scratching the back of his head, “I know Mirko is your favorite hero, after all.” 

Everything in your room was Mirko themed, your bedsheets had a Mirko themed blanked strewn across it, purple streamers hung from the ceiling, there was even a basket of fresh carrots at your bedside. Midoriya knew how to impress when it came to heroes. 

“Oh, and this is for you!” Before you could protest, he slipped a pair of signature Mirko ears over your head, causing you to laugh as you glanced at your reflection through your window. 

“Midoriya, this is too much, really?” 

His smile grew even brighter; you couldn’t believe that people could smile that big, “We’re just getting started!” 

He helped you into your hospital bed before placing a bento box filled with sticky rice cut in the shape of mini rabbits while you two settled into the ‘Ultimate Rabbit Hero montage’, which basically was a bootleg movie Midorya put together of all of Mirko’s interviews, fight scenes, and press conferences. After that, Midoriya even went a step further with dessert,

Carrot Cake. Because he’s Midoriya, and you don’t deserve a friend like MIdoriya. 

“I don't know how anyone will top this. This is very sweet Izuku.” You spoke while setting your plate at your nightstand. Midorya sat beside you in a chair, also finishing up the dessert. 

“Please don’t tell Kacchan that.” Midoriya looked your way, half joking, but also half serious. Honestly, the poor boy had enough praise in relation to Bakugou that’s caused way to many fights between the two of them. 

“Well. Both he and Todoroki have quite the standard to live up to. You gonna tell me what they’re planning?” You asked while leaning forward, hoping you could get something out of the sweet boy next to you.

“They didn’t tell me anything, I swear.” He smiled while holding his hands up defensively, “But knowing them I’m sure you’ll have a great time.” 

Seeing the truth behind his words smirked, “Well, we’ll see. But seriously, this was beyond wonderful. Thank you Midoriya.”  Your hand reached out to give him a gentle pinch at his freckled cheeks. 

“It’s not nearly enough Y/N. You saved our lives back there. I just feel bad that you got so hurt. If only’ I’d been there sooner I’d-Ouch!” He winced slightly as the hold on his cheeks tightened in your grasp,

“Don’t worry about me okay. I’ll be fine. The doctor actually said I was making quite the progress for someone who should have died.” 

Midoriya turned your way, smiling that heroic smile, “That’s amazing Y/N. No wonder why you like Mirko so much, you’re just like her! You always bounce back even after the toughest injuries.”  

 You laughed softly, “I thought you were going to say I’m like her because of my foul attitude.” 

“Well...that too I guess.” 

AN: Okay ya’ll thats it. Join me next time, (hopefully sooner than last) for Part 3 with Todoroki (and a sprinkle of Bakugou).
