*queued post.

You meet Jihoon through a friend.

‘He’s nice,’ Jeonghan says - smirking as he’d brought the glass of whiskey to his lips, ‘He’s more… your speed. I know how hard it is for you to find someone who can satisfy you and I trust him. I think the two of you would work together well.’

And at first, you’d been hesitant as you eyed the crisp, typed up contract agreement that Jihoon had made; his voice calming yet stern as he’d gone over your terms and conditions when you agreed to be his sugar baby.

He only had two rules; simple and to the point as you signed the document and passed it back towards him.

1. If the door to my office is locked, I’m working. Absolutely no disturbances.

2. All expenses will be paid by me, Lee Jihoon, therefore no alternate sources are allowed. If you need any form of money, ask me before resorting to anything or anyone else. You will be paid for your time and given allowance.

The rules had been easy to follow.

He let you stay in his penthouse as long as you wanted and gave you unlimited access to his bank accounts, so long as you didn’t buy anything completely unnecessary. 

You came with him on his business trips to keep him company and he’d double your allowance if you had to go to multiple countries in one trip - something you never asked for but appreciated that he compensated you for.

And true to Jeonghan’s words, Jihoon was very much on the same page as you in terms of what went on in the bedroom; something that you valued more than the money.

“Are you ready, sweetheart?”

You nod shakily, inner thighs slicked with wetness as Jihoon guided you through the hallways of the BDSM dungeon.

“I’m very thankful you wanted to do this for my birthday tonight, sweetheart~” Jihoon turns around to smile at you - licking his lips as he watches you bite your bottom lip in anticipation.

He’d asked you a month before and even went so far as to have you sign a contract agreeing to the terms for the special birthday event he planned for himself.

 “You know I deposited an extra $15,000 into your bank account, right?”

“Y-yes, daddy. Thank you~”

You jog up a little to press yourself into Jihoon’s back, wrapping your arms around his midsection as he chuckles and grips your hands with his own that are cold with the multitude of rings he had on.

“Don’t be shy, sweetheart, daddy will take good care of you.”

And Jihoon does, because as soon as you cross the threshold of the large mirror paneled room, you know you’re not alone anymore.

“Remember your safeword, sweetheart?”

“M--mmhmm… it’s--it’s violet…”

Jihoon hums from behind you as you stand in front of the bed, not wasting a second before he’s pushing you and watching as you fall forward onto the bed.

“Good, now let’s get started.”

Your body feels hot all over as you stay positioned on your hands and knees - eyes darting all over the room as Jihoon walks around you in circles.

The bed was centered in the middle of the room while two way mirrors covered every inch of the walls and you could see the silhouette of people behind the panels as Jihoon chuckled; his hand cupping your chin as he forces your head up.

“All of daddy’s friends are here to watch the way I ruin you, sweetheart. They wanna see how good you are at being daddy’s good little fuck toy~”

You feel a rush of wetness soak into your panties at his words and not a second later do you hear the static of the intercom going off as a voice starts to speak.

‘I’m waiting~’ A familiar voice sing-songs, ‘Or should I say, we’re waiting? I wanna see how good you fuck her, Jihoon~ I always knew she was a little nymphomaniac but I’m excited to finally see it~’

Your brows furrow at the voice that sounds exactly like Jeonghan and you can’t hold back the shaky breath when the next person sounds just like Jihoon’s other business partner, Wonwoo.

‘I know it’s your birthday but don’t make us wait too long, okay?’ He chuckles before it’s back to silence.

Except Jihoon also can’t wait any longer as he caresses your cheek; the rings on his finger making you shiver from the slight chill of the metal.

“They’re just as impatient as I am, sweetheart~ Ah, I shouldn’t have built it up so much, huh? I’ve been thinking about it every single day since you signed the contract~”

He smiles down at you; eyes forming crescents just as he draws his hand back slightly - his palm meeting your cheek in a soft slap as you moan and let your head roll to the side.

“Bet that cunt of yours is soaking right through your panties, huh? I could slide my cock in right now, couldn’t I, sweetheart?”

“Y-yes, daddy… P-please… I--I need your cock s-so bad.... M-my pussy is s-so…” You whimper as you try to rub your thighs together to alleviate some of the tension in your body; the wetness only making you moan louder.

“So what, sweetheart? Desperate to be fucked in front of daddy’s friends?”

“Y-yes…”

He slaps your face one more time; the metal rings clinking as your head whips to the other side.

“Mine. So pretty and all mine, sweetheart~ Thank you for giving me such a good birthday present~”

“A-anything for, ah, d-daddy…”

“Good, then open your mouth for me and then I’ll give you what you want.”

You peer up at Jihoon, eyes filled with lust as you part your lips and stick out your tongue.

He leans over you, fingertips gripping your chin and holding you steady before he lets a glob of his own saliva hit the bed of your tongue; smirking when you shiver and draw your tongue back into your mouth to swallow it down.

“Good girl.”

Jihoon lets go of your face, this time pushing your shoulder until your side is hitting the bed; soft moans on your lips as you ease onto your back with your legs spread wide.

‘Her panties are so wet, Jihoon~ You’ve got her all riled up and you’ve barely done anything to her~’ Another voice comments teasingly; this one sounding much like his assistant, Soonyoung.

He rounds the bed again, this time easing onto it and situating himself between your spread legs as he hums in appreciation.

“Come here~” He teases - his hands wrapping around your thighs as he tugs you towards himself until he’s almost pressed right up against you. “You really are soaking through your ‘lil panties, huh, slut?”

“D--daddy, p-please… You, ngh, a-already teased me s-so much… I--I can’t...” You cry; head thrashing against the silk sheets as Jihoon laughs.

“Isn’t it my birthday? I deserve to play a little too, don’t I?”

He lets go of your thighs to undo his pants and he shimmies them down along with his boxer briefs - his thick cock curving up against his abdomen as you let out a shaky whimper in return.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart. Daddy will give you what you want~”

You feel the shaft of his cock press snugly against your clothed folds - whining and whimpering as he slowly starts to grind against you. The thickness makes your mouth water as he repeats this motion a few times; your mind going a mile a minute imagining his cock already up to the base inside your pussy.

“You’re so wet, I can feel you soaking my cock, sweetheart… Is it making you feel good knowing all of daddy’s friends are watching? You just want them all to see how much of a ‘lil cockwhore you are, huh?”

Nodding feverishly, you’re about to retort when you feel the head of Jihoon’s cock nudging at your entrance - thighs trembling when you feel him start to push your panties inside your cunt.

“O-oh… God, d-daddy…!”

He thrusts into you shallowly - the action feeling good but not as satisfying as it’d been if he’d fucked you without the soaked fabric in the way.

But Jihoon knows this and chooses to prolong your teasing as he chuckles under his breath and only thrusts enough for only half of his cock to be inside of your aching cunt.

‘She’s such a good little cockslut, isn’t she? Look at her face, she feels so good when you’re fucking her panties into her filthy ‘lil hole. Anything to get your cock inside of her, huh?’ Another voice chips in as your brows furrow - He’d even invited Mingyu; someone he butted heads with often in business meetings.

“Oh I know, I can feel her squeezing my cock~ I know she wants more but we have all night~ I wanna see her pretty ‘lil legs shaking when she gets up from this bed~”

His rings clink on his fingers as he gently readjusts your body, spreading your legs out further as you whine and shake your hips.

“D--daddy, I--it’s not, mmnh, e-enough… I--I want to f-feel, a-ah, your c-cock fucking m-me all the way…” You bottom lip quivers as the lust takes over your body fully and Jihoon finally gives in when he sees the frustrated tears welling up in your eyes.

He did, after all, have a soft spot for you - even if he didn’t always express it.

So he draws his hips back, pulling out all the way before he’s expertly ripping your panties off of your body and repositioning his cock at your entrance in one swift motion.

“Daddy will give you what you want all night long~ And daddy’s friends are going to watch you take it all night long too, right? They’ll see how much of a slut you are for daddy’s cock~ And how your pretty ‘lil cunt takes everything I give to it.”

He easily sinks his cock back into your entrance - meeting no resistance as bottoms out and starts a quick pace from the beginning.

Your back arches off of the bed as you cry out; your walls fluttering around his cock as you cum from the fullness you feel. “D--daddy…! Daddy!”

‘She’s already cumming? So pathetic~ Couldn’t even stop herself~’

‘Look at the way his cock stretches her pussy out~ She can barely take all of him~’

‘Hope she gets used to it because it doesn’t look like Jihoon is going to be stopping anytime soon~ Let’s hope her sensitive body can take it all~’

‘She’s only had a few seconds of his cock inside of her pussy and she’s cumming so easily? How many times can she cum tonight, I wonder?’

Your ears are ringing as you ride out your orgasm and their words and laughter are muffled as the pleasure washes over your body - but from what you do hear, you can’t help but become more aroused as they talk about you and Jihoon.

“She’s squeezing my cock so much… She must like the way you guys talk about me fucking her cute ‘lil hole~”

‘Mm, she likes being watched, huh? Likes being treated like a good, obedient fuck toy in front of her daddy’s friends while they talk about her desperate ‘lil cunt~ Do you think she’d let us cum on her face too? Hmm? Give her a little extra for being so good and so fuckin’ easy?’ Wonwoo drawls.

Jihoon laughs cruelly as he pounds your cunt; the head of his cock grazing your cervix as your thighs shake and pleasured tears start to stream down the sides of your face.

“Do you want that, sweetheart?”

“Y-yes…! Fuck, ngh, fuck me more, d-daddy! Please!”

Jihoon feels his cock throbbing inside of your pussy at the obvious desperation in your voice - lips easing into a sultry smirk as he watches your chest rise and fall in hurried breaths and clipped whines.

It would be a long night and Jihoon would be making sure of it.

“Oh, don’t worry, sweetheart. I will.”

[taechaos]

Idea series oc sneaking Tae in the house after he had big fight with his father about something (your choice if it's smutty or fluff or angsty) with a peek of a vurberable Tae? Honestly i think he would change the topic as soon as he started it and prob with sex.

Anyway I'm really interest in their family dynamic since I remember don't know if it was in part one or two that you mention they have really religious parents? And seeing how harsh their dad is with Taehyung it have me wondering how is his relationship with the mother and ocs with both parents, despite everything the seem really distant from their kids, maybe thats why Tae and YN find comfort in each other. OC is the first real bond Tae made with someone so maybe that's the reason of his fear of being replaced and his obsession with her, and ocs mother probably don't pay that much attention to her so that's why even after the incident she still want him to be there. At this point I'm just rambling I'm sorry. And this ask is all over the place, started with a request and ended questioning characters life 💀💀. Sorry hehe.

when i read this yesterday i was literally blown away by this like hOLY shit your analysis is so in-depth at first i was like damn do my characters have more than oNE DIMENSION?? WHICH IS RLY FLATTERING BUT I THINK ITS JUST UR WORDS THAT MADE ME SOUND SMART 💀💀💀 the ending is chef's kiss tho made me bust a lung SHFJJD thank you so much for taking the time to write this its honestly so fucking amazing. hopefully u can see more of their family dynamic in this drabble :)

Rays of sunlight slither through the cracks in the blinds of the living room, allowing Taehyung's father enough light to scan the newspaper he holds in his hand, with the musical, happy chirping of mockingbirds filling in the silence. All of these beautiful signs of nature and peaceful rotation of the earth makes Taehyung tense up even more.

The moment he got back home from buying drugs, his father greeted him in monotone with a, "would you sit with me for a moment?" and he hasn't spoken since. The zipperbag in his pocket crinkles every time he shifts in his seat, making him cringe momentarily before he starts nervously fidgeting again.

This is so awkward and yet equivalent to hearing: we need to talk. God, why is he so silent?

Clearing his throat, Taehyung stands just as his father flips a page with a lick of his thumb. "I'm going to my room really quick."

"No."

"Oh." When will his step-mother return? She's his only hope as he sits down while avoiding looking at his father, whose gaze is set on the black and white printed pages.

It's only a minute later when he talks without diverting his gaze.

"Your sister is in her room, researching her major to get a headstart on a typical syllabus."

"Smart," he comments with disinterest and nibbles on his upper lip.

"Taehyung, how was your attendance in college?" he folds the newspaper and curiously peeks at his son, who is doing a poor job at hiding his nerves.

"It was alright–"

"Lying is a sin, son," his movements are aristocratic when he leans his chin on his fist. "Don't lie."

"I'm not," he stammers and his eyes flicker, "it was bad at the beginning of the year, but I fixed it."

His father pinches the bridge of nose where his frames lie. "I love your sister, Taehyung," he sighs and takes off his glasses, "I want her to do well. I've given up on you, but her? She can accomplish great things if you're not there to influence her. You're a bad influence. Are you following me?"

Taehyung nods dumbly with a racing heart before registering his words and shaking his head. "What?" he blurts. "I used to help her with her homework all the time–"

"You were home once every month."

"Just because you didn't see me doesn't mean I didn't see her," he coldly says. That's not entirely accurate, but it is true that he saw you more than he saw his parents before he started living here again. For you.

His father is taken aback, offended as he scoffs, "You avoided me and your mother, and yet have the face to stay in our home?" He stands up and passes the coffee table that was Taehyung's only barrier to hover over him with distance. "I expected so much more from you, but you can't even do the bare minimum. An adult without a stable job, respectable girlfriend, and embarrassing grades. I'm ashamed to have raised such a boy, for I can't even call you a man."

Taehyung abruptly stands but he continues, "If you can't even pay rent, go back to that landfill you came from."

"I have to pay rent to live with my family?" He's livid and his hands shake by his sides; they're taking you away from him because what? He isn't the son they wanted him to be?

"You've made it clear that the only thing keeping you here is my daughter," he blindly points at the closed door of your room, "and you will have to try much harder to see her again. Get your life together, and you can come back."

Taehyung's face is heated with anger from the injustice. "What the fuck?! This is such bullshit; you're kicking me out?"

His father frowns at his language, growling, "Taehyung! I will not let you drag her down that path with you. When you stop destroying everything you touch, I'll gladly let you live here."

Destroy? He hasn't done any harm to anyone—especially not you. He knows he's self-destructive, but it doesn't extend to his environment. If he fails, it's his failure, but his father takes it personally instead of encouraging him to do better.

The importance of reputation and success in this family enrages him; he's aware that he's not much of an affectionate person either, but a little love wouldn't hurt to witness in the household.

Instead of defending himself or speaking his mind, he obliges bitterly.

"You need to get laid," are his last words before he slams the door and opens the zipper bag to pop a pill. Ecstasy isn't so fun when you're not around, but he can use the distraction. It's been a bad day.

He flips off a stray cat idling around the garden before casually leaving the property.

—————

Studying isn't fun for you, never has been, never will be. Though you hate every second of it, it does give you something to do to make time pass faster. You've been tutoring yourself about things you'll learn sooner or later anyway, but you guess it doesn't hurt to have to study less when the time comes.

You check the time. It's approaching night at 9 PM, and your father wouldn't protest against a break now, hopefully. He only suggested that you should start studying, but you know what his suggestions really mean.

Do it, or get shamed into doing it with subtle glances.

As if that isn't enough, he constantly checked up on you throughout the day. He wasn't exactly giving you a choice, which irks you.

But that's done and over with, and there's a more pressing matter at hand: where is Taehyung? You heard bits and pieces of the argument, but you couldn't get the whole scoop. You worry he's going to go back to his old habits of never being here, rarely seeing you. He would've been hanging out with you six hours ago out of routine... It can't just be you being clingy. Something happened.

You: are you coming home tonight?

The response takes a few minutes.

taehyung: nop

taehyung: but i am coming to ur room

taehyung: cuz ik u cant sleep without me 😖

You: actually the opposite but ok lol

You: when are you coming

taehyung: whenever u want uwu

You: uwu...?

You: just come before it gets too late

—————

So that was a lie. It's 1 AM and still no word from Taehyung. Okay, maybe you're just being clingy now, but it's unlike him not to be clingy. Maybe he wanted to cool off for a long time after his tak with your step-dad, or simply wanted to hang out with his friends after spending all of his time with you.

That makes sense. What doesn't is the slide of your window and shuffling of your curtains. You instantly sit up in your bed and clutch your blanket closer. You watch a silhouette enter your room as you pick up your limp, your tense muscles relaxing only when you recognize the intruder. You put down the lamp with a click of your tongue, ignoring the relief in your pounding heart.

"Hey," he stupidly grins at you. He looks disheveled, clothes untucked and wrinkled, and from the little light you have, you can see his redshot eyes.

"There's also the door," you remark sassily. "Are you um... high?"

He shrugs and crawls in your bed, dismissive as usual. You both make an effort to keep your voices quiet.

"I talked to mom earlier," you ease into the discussion until he butts in.

"That's great."

You roll your eyes and prop an elbow to look down at him. His head lies on his hands while staring at you, mood strangely upbeat. He's definitely high.

"She was a little sad about something, and I know it involves you. I heard you talking to–" You're interrupted with a lingering peck, a little rough in its force but not unwelcomed.

"I've missed kissing you. Shouldn't you be asleep, by the way?"

Recovering from the unexpected attack, you reply, "It's not that late. I don't have to wake up early."

"You shouldn't ruin your sleep schedule," he tucks a hair strand behind your ear without taking his eyes off of you. "Staying up is hard to stop once you start."

"Yeah, you're a great example," you joke with a quiet giggle. Whispering with him feels intimate in a heart fluttering way. His heart pangs with a feeling he can't put a finger on. "You didn't answer my question."

"Hm?"

"Don't play dumb, I'm really curious. What happened with dad?"

"A lot of things happen with dad," he shrugs, "sometimes we play catch–"

"Taehyung," you give him a pointed look, and he giggles.

"You're right, he'd never play catch with me." He groans as he stretches in your bed before trapping you with his arms on either side of you in one motion. You don't know what he's trying to do, but you watch him above you in amusement. "No offence, but when is your mom not sad when my dad is around?" he laughs with a huff.

"That's rude, Tae," you remark seriously, "she's happy when you're around."

Taehyung's smile falters like yours, his happy guise crumbling when he says, "Are you?"

"Pfft," you roll your eyes, "What do you think? I was up waiting for you."

Ah. That's not a very good influence.

"I'm here now," he whispers, "go to sleep. It's okay, I won't do anything, I know you worked hard today."

You agree with a yawn and nod. But even in your sleepy state, you can read the room—Taehyung is especially attentive of his tone and volume aside from being so tense. "Are you alright?"

"I'm in and on ecstasy," he falls back on his former spot, "I can't not be alright."

"Taehyung, I haven't seen you all day–"

"Yeah, because I didn't want to be here," he looks at you dead in the eye, "and I don't want you to be here."

You blink rapidly, slightly shaking your head in confusion, "What are you saying?"

"Move in with me."

He's met with cold silence, so he persuades persistently, "Don't you want to get away from here? You'll have so much more freedom with me, and I can help you with your assignments and everything. It'll be perfect."

"I— do you... Where?" Taehyung is high and he doesn't know what he's saying is what you believe because this is so out of the blue, so irrational, but he describes it like it's utopia; you are not completely against the idea.

"I have enough money from drug dealing to rent an apartment, and you can tell dad that you want to move out to be like an adult or whatever, that you have a stable job, without mentioning me," he rambles, and his dilated pupils are more noticeable up close; it slightly puts you off.

"Wh-what about mom?"

He scoffs, "If she wants out, she can get her second divorce. Don't worry about them; after all, they're apparently the only real adults here," he relates back to not being worthy of being called a man. You shift away from him little by little. "Just trust me."

The phrase is triggering for you, a reminder of the time you were tricked into trusting him moments before your trauma. "We'll talk about this when you're sober," you meekly say, avoiding eye contact.

A wicked smile grows on his face, "I can't wait, princess."

“It’s not like Kirishima had come all this way to U.A. to immediately break the promise he made to himself upon arrival.

It’s just that Bakugou is as feral as they come, and the moment Kirishima recognizes it’s fear he felt crawling up his spine that day, he makes it his personal mission to face it head-on until it’s gone.”

(Or: Being friends with Bakugou Katsuki is anything but a linear experience. Kirishima Eijirou would have it no other way.)

Tags: Kirishima POV, Developing Friendships, Protective Baku, Soft Baku, Stargazing

Chapter 1. Chapter 2. Minor content warning for (discussions of) self-esteem issues. Chapter 4. Chapter 5. Chapter 6. Chapter 7. Chapter 8. Chapter 9.

***

“Bakugou.”

With an absent hum, Bakugou turns the page, squints, scribbles down a line in his neat, tight handwriting. A piece of black fabric separates his hand from the paper, the same wrapped around his pen, too.

Kirishima leans forward, over his own book-and-notepad combination dotted with scrawled comments and colorful post-it notes. It’s been an hour since any of it has made sense to him.

“Bakuuu. C’mon.”

A sigh, annoyed. Another line is added. Then: “The fuck d’you want?”

It takes a few seconds until the silence has stretched enough for Bakugou to look up and into Kirishima’s pleading eyes. Bakugou’s expression barely changes beyond a raised brow, unimpressed. It’s the one reserved for when Kirishima’s being especially dense – slightly more severe than muttered curses and slightly less so than that God-help-me roll of his eyes he premiered during their last study session.

Which was yesterday. Kirishima would be proud of unlocking a new Angry Bakugou Face in record time… if U.A.’s grumpiest genius wasn’t the only thing standing between him and a frankly impressive row of failed grades.

Final’s Week is brutal, even for heroes-in-training. Especially for heroes-in-training. So: Desperate times, desperate measures.

“Slap me”, Kirishima tells Bakugou, hushed in their corner of the library. “As hard as you possibly can.”

The arch of Bakugou’s brow climbs higher, utterly devastating in its wordless criticism. He says, “What”, tone Aizawa-levels of flat, and it’s not a question. It’s a command: Explain or else.

Kirishima is in no state to resist. The confession bubbles out of him in a whiny rush.

“Dude, I slept like… zero hours last night ‘cause Kami got Pokémon Colosseum – y’know, the reboot? So cool – and we kinda lost track of time. I know, I know, it was a stupid idea, I swear it was an honest mistake!”

Bakugou continues to stare as he puts down his pen and wipes his palms on the edge of his shirt. Kirishima ducks his head, hiding behind the limp strands of his hair.

“Don’t look at me like that, man. I’m seriously about two minutes from passing out here and there’s like a hundred pages of this thing I haven’t read yet, let alone understood, and oh shit Mic will hand me my ass with words tomorr–”

It all happens so quickly: Kirishima catches a blur of motion headed his way and squeaks; his skin hardens about half-way before there’s sparks and his cheek smarts, and a hissed “Motherfucker” sounds right in front of him.

The sharp slap! noise registers only after the fact, when Kirishima holds his face and Bakugou holds his hand and they both stare at each other in mutual bafflement as their skin turns red with the impact.

That moment is like glue, clear and sticky as it extends past its natural limit – then Bakugou snorts and starts to laugh, a cackling hyena-laugh that Kirishima’s never heard in full and certainly not like this, loud and unrestrained, and all hopes of holding back his own laughter is lost as he cracks up, too.

They laugh and laugh, until Kirishima’s stomach starts to cramp up and there’s the sheen of tears in Bakugou’s eyes. “Your f-fucking face”, Bakugou wheezes at some point. “Fucking bastard, you almost broke my hand! With your fucking face!”

All it does is send them into another round of hysterics.

At some point, Kirishima glimpses some of their classmates poke their head around the bookshelves secluding their study corner from the rest of the library, faces ranging from exasperated to deeply disturbed. There’s Ashido, giggling at the sight of both of them bent over and struggling to get some sort of grip, and Kaminari, who just mumbles “What the hell, guys” while straddling the line between sleep-deprived and intensely fascinated by what he’s seeing.

And hey, at least Kirishima’s really freaking awake now. There’s the problem of trying and failing to breathe without dying, his face helplessly flushed and sweating, but the world’s colors are back to being bright and sharp. Across from him, Bakugou isn’t faring much better, shaking his head and the back of his hand covering the broad smile he can’t seem to get rid of.

“Fuck you, you stupid, moronic idiot. For fuck’s sake, Kirishima.”

Kirishima rubs at his chest, the ache in his lungs starting to lessen now that he’s marginally back in control. “I’m so sorry but like”, he waves at himself and he can’t help his grin despite the stinging protest coming from his cheek. “Thanks, dude!”

“Eat a dick.” There’s no bite whatsoever in Bakugou’s grumbling as he sits back down and digs his nose into his book once more, thoroughly ignoring their flabbergasted audience.

After a moment of pantomiming what amounts to I’ll tell you later to their friends, Kirishima joins him, ready to tackle the final boss that is the English language.

NO WAY (sending…)

signal’s gone AGAIN i’m going feral (sending…)

screw it (sending…)

*

The GPS signal craps out twice more before Kirishima heaves himself onto the edge of a cliff and spots a familiar silhouette. Sheltered by a bend in the rock bed, the glow of a fire illuminates a backpack set aside, a pair of discarded hiking boots – and Bakugou, leaning against solid stone with his arms crossed behind his head.

“Took ya long enough”, he says, the lazy smirk on his lips cut in flickering shadows.

“Listen.” Kirishima wipes beads of perspiration off his temple; a spontaneous rock-climbing session by the last light of day is not what he had hoped for after hours of exhaustive quirk training. “We already have a perfectly good camp. There’s, like, leftover curry and hot springs and stuff down there.”

Bakugou scoffs. “Yeah. And a bunch of extras.”

There’s an exasperated reply on his tongue – They’re called classmates, genius. Y’know, friends? – but Kirishima knows it’s pointless to even start that debate. He snipes him with his sweaty headband instead, celebrating his own marksmanship when it hits Bakugou square in the chest with a wet thwap.

“Wha– Shitty Hair!”

“You made me climb this stupid cliff in the middle of the night. Deal with it.”

Bakugou just throws it back, the force of an explosion propelling the thing past Kirishima’s shoulder and off the mountain entirely. Kirishima watches singed white fabric disappear into the abyss, bidding it goodbye with a somber salute.

“Well, that’s lame.”

“You’re lame, fuckface.”

“Bro.”

Shaking his head, Kirishima laughs and joins him by the fire.

It’s quiet for a bit while he gets comfy and Bakugou throws a chunk of wood into the flames, sparks bursting into life immediately. This far up, the air feels… brittle, in a way, thin and cold enough Kirishima wouldn’t have been surprised to see his breath mist. The breeze ruffles the crowns of the trees around them, the rush of rustling leaves in the distance strangely soothing.

Bakugou’s gaze is lost in the night sky when he starts to speak. “Been thinking of borrowing my parents’ car and driving out here by myself. Y’know, once I got my license and shit. ‘s got some good trails, people were talking ‘bout it on those shitty hiking forums. Forums, like we’re in the fucking 2000s.”

His elbows on his knees and his head propped on his hands, Kirishima hums and looks up as well. The moon is a thin island of white in an ocean of indigo blue growing steadily darker, a myriad of stars coming out to keep her company. “Yeah?”

“Mh”, Bakugou makes around a soft breath. “Guess they’re all shit out of luck though ‘cause it’s the personal playground of pro heroes, apparently. It’s a miracle none of our idiots got fucking lost coming out here.”

‘Our idiots’, huh? Kirishima nudges his chin lower and into his palms to hide his smile. “Kinda far of a trip to make just for some hiking, isn’t it?”

A casual shrug, followed by a nod upwards. “Not for this. The lodge is the only structure for miles in any direction and even with us here, it’s got fuck all on an entire city. Get it?”

“Yeah! No light pollution, right?”

“Yup”, Bakugou confirms, popping the ‘p’. A small grin is shot Kirishima’s way, teasing rather than mocking. “What’s this, huh? Don’t tell me you paid attention in fucking physics after all.”

Kirishima breathes an offended huff, mock-hurt.

“Pshh, please. Y’know how everyone has that one niche thing they randomly obsessed over as a kid? That was me with astronomy. Back in Middle School I had like, a huge model of all the planets in my room and my favorite constellations mapped across the ceiling with those glow-in-the-dark stars. Years of useless knowledge, all stored right here.”

Kirishima’s thumb taps his forehead as he smiles at Bakugou; Bakugou’s lips pull into a smile of his own, small but there. When he turns back to the stars, Kirishima does the same, sighing wistfully.

“If Thirteen’s class were just about that I’d freaking ace it, dude. I get that I’m kinda dumb with literally anything else, but space is my jam. Did you know that–”

“You’re not.”

The train of thought Kirishima was about to gleefully jump onto screeches to a halt. “…huh?”

Bakugou frowns at him. “You’re not”, a vague wave in his general direction, “stupid or whatever.”

Perhaps the dumbfounded blinking Kirishima’s doing in response is already enough to prove Bakugou wrong on that. Still, Kirishima sits up a bit straighter, eyebrows pulling together tightly.

“Um. I appreciate you saying that, bro, but I’m only here ‘cause Aizawa decided to get in touch with his merciful side after all. Like, Cementoss totally wiped the floor with me back home. There’s no point in lying to myself about that.”

“So you’re calling me a fucking liar, is that it?”

“Huh?”

Kirishima can only watch as Bakugou’s mouth twists beyond the usual doom and gloom and into something… frustrated. Genuinely annoyed. An iron weight settles in Kirishima’s gut, heavy and hard to ignore. “I didn’t– Look, man, can we not fight over this? I’m just saying I wanna face my mistakes and do better, that’s all.”

“Then say it!”

There’s a severity to the words that catches Kirishima off guard. Bakugou is staring him down with eyes so intense they possess their own gravitational pull, closer to black than crimson in the fire’s light–

Kirishima likes to think he knows Bakugou, at least a little. What makes him tick, what makes him angry – because there is a reason and a rhyme to his anger, a pattern to the things that set him off that Kirishima has yet to properly figure out. It’s just that Kirishima isn’t usually one of those things, not anymore.

“You lost me, Baku”, he admits, quietly, after a beat or two of tense silence. “What do you mean?”

Bakugou sighs, a harsh noise between them. The deep breath afterwards is new, however, a sharp inhale followed by a calmer exhale before Bakugou points at him, a wordless listen up.

“Just– Okay. You fucked up and wanna learn from it? Cool, fucking say that then. Not some bullshit about being too dumb to do shit ‘cause you’re not. Fuck right off with that.”

Mouth opening, Kirishima is stopped by a flurry of firecracker sparks and a terse growl of “Shut the hell up, I’m not done.” Finally, Bakugou’s look snaps elsewhere, one sock-clad foot kicking at a loose rock in clear irritation.

“Studying isn’t your strength, who gives a fuck? You got into U.A. top-fucking-two, you’re one of the only capable fuckers around and if you seriously think you don’t deserve to be here because Cementoss got lucky one fucking time then you got another thing coming.”

Kirishima sits there in a state of mild shock until Bakugou huffs and glares at him again. The threat behind it is ridiculously empty considering the impromptu speech he just gave and holy shit, Bakugou Katsuki is praising him. Kirishima Eijirou.

He might actually cry.

“What? You’re competition, bitch, so don’t make me a fucking liar by pretending otherwise.”

Scratch that, tears are definitely part of the picture now.

Wet-rimmed eyes and a quiet sniff, that’s as far as Kirishima gets before Bakugou’s expression suddenly falls, crestfallen to an almost comical degree. Kirishima does laugh then, a watery little chuckle that doesn’t seem to make things much better, either.

“Sorry, just… Damn Nitro, I think that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me. You really think so?”

And okay, yup, that’s a real glare, this time. Bakugou throws up his hands. “You’re so– Urgh. Did I fucking stutter?”

Kirishima rubs the moisture out of his eyes and smiles. “Nope.” Faint embarrassment heats his cheeks; he focuses on the warmth curling in his chest instead, glowing bright and comforting like the embers at their feet and the stars above.

“Good”, Bakugou mutters.

More wood is tossed into the fire and rekindled with red-hot palms. Scooting closer, Kirishima holds out his hands and hums happily as it chases away the ever-cooling temperatures. They can’t stay up here forever – Aizawa will have his hide for sure if he doesn’t show up to the remedial course tonight – yet Kirishima figures they have a few more minutes.

Bakugou goes right back to his earlier sprawl, unaffected by the cold: arms crossed, eyes on the sky like he can’t get enough of the sight. Kirishima thinks of glow-in-the-dark stickers, faded over time. Quietly, he wonders which constellation is Bakugou’s favorite.

“Kiri.”

“Hm? Yeah?”

Shoulders relaxed, voice even, Bakugou says: “Tell me something. About space, I mean.”

As complicated as being friends with Bakugou can get, it can be so, so easy, too. Just a while longer, Kirishima decides as he settles in next to his best friend and starts talking.

8. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also explores some real neat concepts

the story is full of personality

carcarchu

the comic's not loading for me shakes fist at wifi, gonna try again tomorrow but i just wanted to say the look of the site is really cute!

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Got the chance to read it So here are some of my thoughts: 1. I like the romantic atmosphere that the comic starts off with warm colours and it gives a vacation ad sensation? 2. My favourite moment is in the pink strange dream world, the colours contrast to the reality of Cara. 4. Fave moment: When that mystery guy shows up and he had corny lines like a romantic parody. It seem so fantastical. 5. I like the colour palette choice of brown tones, shades of pinks. 6. I think the theme is about expectations (it's not clear atm), how Cara is distancing from real relationships and prefer to indulge. 7: I like how the creator shows Cara looking scared of confronting things. It sets an interesting tone of uncertainty. Is she hiding something?(edited)

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

I'm super curious about the situation of Cara not remembering her past dreams with Richie, and how that ties into the theme.

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

1. I like how I don’t know what to expect. I also like how the premise is relateable; the idea that you are scared of imperfection making you have high standards in life hit close. 2) Every single time we’re treated to....Tuyetnhi’s lovely use of expression. Also the end part of episode 2, because that’s when I realized it’s going to get dark. 3) A tie between Ana and Richie. Ana because she makes me laugh with her blunt assertions (which...aren’t wrong) and Richie because he’s so flamboyant and extra. I love how much personality they all have. 4) Hands down Richie and Cara. They have a really hilarious dynamic going on. 6) The idea that people seek perfection through their dreams instead of facing reality. Also I really liked how it tackles society’s fixation on everyone to find someone....maybe Cara doesn’t need that and needs to focus on herself first? 7) That I won’t know what to expect. I came into this thinking it was going to be a classic romcom, and then I get hit with implicit horror and trippyness. I have a feeling Tuyetnhi is hinting at some darker aspects of the story we have yet to see. 8) Good lord the expressions. They really do the story justice and make me turn the page every time. Also the colours are beautiful.(edited)

(Whoops sorry keiiii)

7) two moments actually!

The fact that their wide eyed sweaty expressions matched made me laugh really hard

And also Cara’s quick acceptance of the situation was so unexpected and hilarious I took a double take. Also props to the colour dissonance; that looks like meme material right there!

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

yeah. I want to make it clear that Cara is like "This is really not my day." lol

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Well....you portrayed that sentiment perfectly

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Omg yes the wide eyed expressions were also making me laugh! Well that was an expression I didn't expect coming into the story(edited)

I was wondering if that was suppose to be serious or humorous?

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

both LOL

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

I see the horror you got going there Tuyetnhi Reminds me of...I dunno Jojo?

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

well............ yes and no lol

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

But I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen

Although...if we’re going by the silhouette....is she scared of herself?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

C:

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I like that sense of not knowing what's happening? :)(edited)

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

that will be coming up in Ch. 3 soon

so please wait till then thank u lol

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

So far it's tough to choose a fave character right now since I feel the story has just started its first segment. I would like to wait until more content is shown before I can make a firm choice? (I'm analytical, I like to go over OCs flaws and strengths once I know more about them)(edited)

I'm curious to learn about her ex crush, since we only get a glimpse of how Cara precieve him. But what is Dean really like? *Drum rolls(edited)

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

you got.... good questions

it will be rewarded.... later on LOL

mariah (rainy day dreams)

1. What did you like about the beginning of the comic? I really liked the colors and island vibe. And this was even before Animal Crossing came out and I started hardcore living that island life I just love a good, soft pink to purple gradient generally speaking so the opening of the story was like falling into a comfy brain pillow for me. 2-4 I'm just gonna answer these ones kind of all together because they thoughts on then are all kind of threaded together into one big thought. After having read through the archive I really liked the scene with Ana and Cara. When I first read it I was like "dang, she's giving Cara such a hard time," but after having read the scenes where Cara just refused to admit to Richie she doesn't know what's going on I really retroactively appreciated Ana's willingness to call Cara on her bullshit XD I think it's a really good foil trait to have for a protagonist who seems dead set on avoiding confrontation even though it seems like doing so is most likely just gonna come back to bite her later. I imagine we aren't going to see Ana for a while though unless Cara is able to use her Phone A Friend card in the dream realm XD I am also looking forward to seeing more of the Cara doppelganger and how she and Cara interact with each other going forward. That feels like an exciting and drama filled mystery

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

1. What did you like about the beginning of the comic? I also love the atmosphere. The color choices are just so beautiful. 2. What has been your favorite moment in the comic (so far)? Ana pointing out Cara's BS hahahaha. 3. Who is your favorite character? Definitely Ana. She's so down-to-earth from what I can tell, someone I'd want to be friends with. 4. Which characters do like seeing interact the most? Probably Ana and Cara. I like to see good friendships depicted, especially in a romance. 5. What is something you like about the art? If you have a favorite illustration, please share it! In general, everything is so soft and pretty. I also really appreciate the fact that all the characters have larger noses. If I had a favorite panel, it would be at the beginning, the sunset beach waves. 6. What is a theme you like that the comic explores? So far, I'm not sure about themes, but I like the talk about the pressure parents give to their children to get married. 7. What do you like about the comic’s story or overall related content? There's a lot of mystery, so I'm looking forward to learning about Cara's dreams, Richie, and the key. 8. Overall, what do you think the comic’s strengths are? The visuals are really nice. I can't stop gushing about the color choices and the pretty atmosphere.(edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

The way Cronaj sums up their thoughts on OiYD, I'm agreeing with the statement on Ana and Cara! Esp friendship part

Deo101 [Millennium]

I'll answer the questions hopefully later this week, but this song reminded me of the comic!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4z5ecLCvSQ(edited)

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

@Deo101 [Millennium] damn that’s a good song

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

Oooo

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

He's definitely hot and extra

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

lmao

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

My joke idea is that Cara is secretly in a reality show starring Richie and her and the bonds they play out is meant for a live broadcast. But she's clearly not agreeing to this(edited)

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

oh god. i don't think that's good for Cara's mental state lmao

Feather J. Fern

Also I have to say, I do love how the first cover is literally Cara being the meme of "Oh no he's hot"

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

fjdkalfdjdklfj

Feather J. Fern

Also I finally started it, while a bit late, I have to relate to Cara being an accountant.

Also I think my favourite panel is "Welp that worked"

Also I have to appreciate picking a pink that doesn't grate on the eyes.

https://gyazo.com/71fe22ea6ac2ebf6b3d85531c66bf8ed Another really good panel

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

I enjoyed making that one LOL

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

that face is one of my favourites not gonna lie

Feather J. Fern

I really like the surrealness of the story, can't wait to see what happens next

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

same! I feel like something is about to happen

I'm also wondering how Richie would react to the real world

like....the ex. And her parents.

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

soon™️

Feather J. Fern

More like everyone reacting to Richie XD

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Yeah pretty much

Like can Richie handle the world?

More like

Can the world handle RICHIE

RebelVampire

I like that the beginning really contrasts the dream and Cara's reality pretty quickly. I kind of feel it catches that feeling of coming out of a dream to face reality which kind of sucks, and also plays into the themes of dream vs. reality and expectation vs. reality. It's very easy to idealize things, whether as a route of escapism or just because it sounds appealing. But the reality of things generally is always different, and I like that we're seeing this full force in the comic through Cara's perspective. And the contrasts between the two really enhance those topics. My favorite moment in the comic so far is probably when Cara meets what I assume is Dean. Cause I really loved that both parties were kind of at fault, and I also liked how quickly that convo devolved into a grumpfest, because that felt very realistic. My favorite character right now is definitely Richie, because he is ridiculous and sympathetic at the same time. I adore his exaggerated personality, while at the same time feel sorry for him since for him the memories are clearly there and like...I would not want to be in the shoes of someone where the person they loved no longer remembered them. As for character interacting the most, Cara and Richie because that entire premise of one person remembering and the other not makes for a really tense and awkward situation. It's hard to tell where it's going to go. What I like about the art is the palettes of color chosen, since there's some beautiful scenery as well as fantastic contrasts when needed to make certain moments pop (like dream vs. reality).

As for the story content, what I actually like the most is that Cara is a flawed protagonist. I've read a lot of stories where the protagonist is always 100% right in the relationship and is just eternally the victim because society pressure. But Cara has a lot more going on, since she's clearly been at fault in some interactions, and while we can sympathize with people pressuring her into relationships, she also maybe takes it too far by being avoidant of basically every relationship. However, since she has these traits, I'm more invested into her personal dilemmas since she'll actually make mistakes when dealing with stuff. Which I think this is the overall strength of the comic. Cara is just a damn good protagonist who is easily likeable but isn't perfect and whose imperfections are not just brushed off so easily.

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

;_; .... thank you.

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

I love the story so far! When I first started, I figured it would be some sort of awkward story where Richie comes into the real world and he has to figure out how to, like, act natural, and hilarity ensues. But holy cow, Cara losing her memories, and the slide into somewhat of a horror angle - it's not something I expected (though admittedly I could have read the synopsis lol), but it's definitely something I like!(edited)

Comic Tea Party

DISCUSSION PROMPTS – PART 2

9. Do you think the people around Cara were right to try and pressure her into a relationship? Overall, what do you think the comic has to say about relationships and the themes regarding relationship pressure?

10. Is what Cara experiencing dream or reality, and where is the line between them in this case? Additionally, why do you think her dreams have the potential to become reality as opposed to other people? Also, what is the overall message underlying these themes?

11. Is Richie really just a dream Cara dreamt up, or is there something more to him? If he somehow makes it to Cara’s world, do you think he’ll be able to adjust to that reality? Also, can he win Cara over?

12. What do you think the Cara imposter is about, and what does this have to do with the entire situation? Do you think Cara will eventually remember her dreams? Lastly, what do you think Cara has in store for her as the story continues?

Don’t feel inspired by the prompts? Feel free to discuss anything else that interested you!

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

9. I personally don’t think it was great of the people in Cara’s life to pressure her like that. Sure, they mean well, but it’s most likely bringing Cara’s self esteem down by a lot. I have a feeling that her dreams/reality colliding together is partially motivated by that; the pressure of pleasing society has made her....subconsciously take drastic measures?

10. I’m actually not sure! Maybe there’s a supernatural explanation to it, or it could all just be a dream. Dreams have a way of showing a person’s innermost desires or fears, so maybe Cara’s desires and fears are coming alive in response to external stress factors. So perhaps she opened a portal of sorts between the realms in some way (there’s a key!!!!).

11. Oh I’m thinking they might end up together. But the realist inside me thinks...perhaps what Cara needs isn’t romantic love, but more independent love and being able to love herself. What DOES worry me, however, is the fact that Richie seems...a bit desperate for Cara to like him. Is there a condition to his love after all? If so, that means that it’s possible he’s forced in some way to love her or make her love him. And that’s not really conducive to romance, is it?

12. Ah...the thing that makes me mystified the most. Cara seems to have a negative view of herself, since she told her to get out in the end of chapter two. However, Cara #2 seems to be pretty helpful; knocking on the door to tell her to get out of the house (which Richie has her in), so in a way letting her out. While our Cara seems to dislike her a lot, I think the key to the story would be our Cara needing to accept this double Cara to be really free. Maybe she will, maybe she won’t! But from what I can see from the story and like I’ve said earlier...maybe Cara needs to be able to find love within herself. Love for that Cara double, and enough love to become independent and not bend to society’s overwhelming pressure for outside romance. I hope she finds that as the story comes along, and know that it’s okay to not be ready for love.

As for Richie...hmm. He’s dealing with an amnesiac heroine, and adjusting to the real world. I’m sure it’s going to lead to some hilarious hijinks, but hopefully he can manage! He seems up to the task

RebelVampire

I think whether people were right to pressure Cara is a tricky gray area. On the one hand, no, they were wrong. Nobody should be forced into a relationship. But on the other hand, if you know a person is actively self-sabotaging, isn't it more correct to speak up? So to me this is maybe a situation of good intentions with bad execution. However, I do think overall the comic does say pressuring people into relationships sucks and plz don't do that cause that's how you make ppl run further away. I think it's both, because a dream is reality in a sense. I think many of us have had dreams that caused real emotional affects, whether negative or positive. So the line between them is merely the fact effects are limited. Cara have may have just found a way to cross that line and make a dream a tangible thing that has more consequences. As for why her dreams, I don't know. Maybe she's just super good at dreaming. I do think as the overall message though is that dreams are good but not when we get lost in them, because then we idealize and reject "reality" in ways that aren't healthy. I do think Richie is primarily something Cara dreamt up, but kind of not maybe. Like sure maybe Cara is idea creator, but something else was involved in making the physical reality of that idea. As for Richie adjusting to Cara's world, I'm sure it will be laughably hilarious. I do think he can sort of win Cara over, at least in the sense of being friends. Cause how can you hate Richie? I'm taking a shot in the dark and saying Cara imposter is the embodiment of Cara's missing memories but since they're just memories, all they can do is imitate. As for Cara remembering, I feel like it will be yes but I kind of want it to be no. I like the idea of them having to reform a relationship entire from scratch.

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

Oo good impressions! I wish I have more to say but it would affect the story LOL. Enjoyed reading everyone's theories tho!

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Ok my turn, let's see what my head theories are: 9: I felt the same annoyance as Cara but it's a mixed feeling, Even though, people shouldn't pressure a lady on her love life, she also has a problem with being in relationships. Or I remember one quote from the story was how she 'ditched her dates by rushing to the bathroom.' although I don't know her circumstance, I do know she has issues to settle too. Relationship pressure is real, especially as a young person grows older. 10. From the comic visuals, it feels much like it's her escapism dream. The only clue I got, is that her holding a literal 'key' connecting both worlds, is evidence that both world could collide. So far, we haven't seen other people's dreams, or whether this is an unusual occurrence in the world? It seems to be a message about idealistic relationships. Since Cara seem to turn away real ones, it manifested? 11. I'm curious about Richie's character too. He seems like a powerful imagination, enough to sway the lead, so he's more than a simple figment. I wonder if his submissive, flirtatious (?) personality was build in him. He doesn't seem to have a 'life' outside his dream house, or so far. 12. I'm not sure whether the 'Other Cara' might be trying to help her or is that.. actually a shadow side? I don't want to say too much, but it's interesting to see where the story goes.(edited)

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Oh! You make a good point about Richie; I never thought about that! Do you think maybe he's simply a part of Cara and eventually gains his own sentience/personality?

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Hehe I like analyzing dreams :3 In dream theory, I feel he could be? I was more skeptical whether he should be treated as a real character or something else.(edited)

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

man this does make me want to look up dream psychology

i have a feeling...Tuyetnhi is using some theories from that

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

Hmmmm dream psychology you say?

I guess you can say there's some elements of that, but it's not a major chunk of it if that makes sense lol

Comic Tea Party

DISCUSSION PROMPTS – PART 3

13. What are you most looking forward to seeing in regards to the comic?

14. Any final words of encouragement for the comic?

Don’t feel inspired by the prompts? Feel free to discuss anything else that interested you!

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

13. Maintaining the will power to finish OIYD! so I can see it as its end lmao. As a passion project but also something that I want to invest in when I have the time, I hope ya'll looking forward in reading Ch. 3 very soon lol.

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

13. I really want to see how both Cara and Richie will develop as characters. Whether Cara will figure out for herself what being both independent means....and whether she does want a relationship for herself and not for other people. Likewise with Richie, I want to see if he'll be able to be his own person...and whether he's real or not. I have a lot of questions that I want to be answered, and I can't wait to keep reading.

14. Tuyetnhi, good luck on the webcomic. It's hard to start one and even harder to pull off a good one, and I know yours is a good one. I really look forward to reading more from you. You're amazing (edited)

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

thank you

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

13. I'm interested in learning more about Cara's conflicts, why she is hesitant about having a real relationship vs her dream one? I love the unexpected dark twist that the story seems to be going. 14. I want to say, no pressure and take your time to complete the chapter. Just know you have my support and willing to read when it is ready. Good luck

RebelVampire

I'm looking forward to more Richie being Richie. Because he is an adorable person. And also because I'm waiting for some 'reality' culture shock. My final words are that this comic has a strong themes game going on and an intriguing premise, so it'll be fun to see where the comic is in a few more chapters since I'm pretty sure we're in for a wild ride.

The notes left in your school locker managed to brighten up your every day. You smiled to yourself, pushing the small letter into your bag and taking out your own notebook. Ripping out a page, you took a pen and rested the paper against the locker’s door, writing.

｢You know I look pretty, but I still wonder how you yourself look like. Nonetheless, thank you for the advice. Have a nice day, prince.｣ 

You pushed the paper between the locker’s door, not fully, just enough to be able to take it out later. You didn’t know who your secret admirer was, but you were more than sure that he would take the note as soon as he saw it, and probably leave another one for you, too. 

You were an average high school student. You didn’t consider yourself pretty, but if there was someone who did, you were grateful for that. In the school crowd, you felt lonely. But the person who, out of the whole crowd, seemed to pay you special attention, made it all somewhat better. 

“F/n?” 

You turned your head curiously at your name being spoken. Your classmate, Sonia, smiled nervously, the girl always seemed to be a bit awkward while speaking to you. Until now, you didn’t know why.

“Could we talk? I need to tell you something… Something I should have told you a while ago, actually” she admitted shyly. 

You nodded, letting her take you elsewhere. The secret admirer had been, for the time being, forgotten.

* * *

“Do you think she likes her back?” 

The question was spoken, making the tension arise around the three men sitting by the same table in the school cafeteria. To Chen and Minseok, the very moment Baekhyun’s eyes rested on the person far afar from them, making him completely forget their conversation’s topic, it was clear that it was the girl he liked.

This time though, he girl wasn’t either alone or in a large group of her classmates. No, she was with one person – a girl that, it was easy to say, had a crush on her.

“She doesn’t” Baekhyun announced simply, not tearing his eyes away from the female’s silhouette. She sat down with her lunch and rested her elbows on the table, playing with her hair while the other girl talked to her, which the three boys sitting at least twenty meters away obviously couldn’t hear.

“She may not, but are you sure she’ll decline?” Minseok said, tilting his head to the side. The three stared at the girl out of lack of anything better to do, knowing well enough that Baekhyun’s attention won’t be dragged away from her anytime soon. It was impossible to do, they accepted the fact months ago.

“Decline what?” Baekhyun’s voice was weirdly high-pitched when he reached for his juice, trying to land the straw in his mouth and poking his chin with it twice before starting to slurp the orange liquid.

“They gonna be datin’” Chen spoke simply, at which Baekhyun glared at him for a second before turning his gaze back to the girl.

“They aren’t” Baekhyun mumbled.

“They may” Minseok said truthfully and it was enough for Baekhyun to grumpily look away and then down at his plate. 

“They aren’t” he repeated. “She wouldn’t… She doesn’t even like her back.”

“Well unlike some, Sonia actually had the courage to go and talk to her. It already makes her be one step ahead.”

“I… have talked to her!”

“The notes don’t count. And they’re creepy.” Chen crossed his arms, staring at his friend with a judging look on his face.

“She likes them!” Baekhyun protected himself right away. Minseok laughed, patting his back in a calming manner.

“Sorry to tell you that, but Chen is right. If you don’t do anything, you can only blame yourself if [F/n] and Sonia start to date.”

As much as he didn’t want to admit it, the two only spoke aloud the thoughts he so much tried to keep away from himself. But finally, he managed to accept them. And make the decision that it’s the right time to act.

* * *

“See you tomorrow” Sonia said with a sweet smile, waving her hand at you as she walked away from the lockers. The classes ended, but she didn’t have anything to leave in the locker so she only walked with you as the two of you continued your conversation. When you were almost by your locker, she decided it’s the right time to go her own way. And you were somewhat grateful for that.

You still weren’t sure how to proceed what you found out barely a few classes earlier. Even though you tried to stay calm, you just simply didn’t know what to do. Sonia said you can take all the time you wish to make your mind, and that even if the two of you were set for a date, it didn’t have to mean anything yet. But you didn’t even know if time was all you needed.

Should you tell her yes? Or decline? You’ve never dated anyone before. The girl was nice.

But for some reason, it didn’t feel right. Until the moment you opened your locker, you couldn’t even explain to yourself, why.

But then the note resting inside of the locker caught your attention and you recalled that, in fact, there already was someone whom you somewhat liked.

Even if you didn’t know his face, you actually didn’t even know which classes he attended.

You knew that it’s a boy and that he’s at your age. You knew that he watched over you every day, spotting whenever you were stressed or feeling down. His messages were special. You felt closer to him with every passing day.

The note was surely not something you expected this time, though.

｢ Do you want to see me?｣ 

You looked at the note closely. At its bottom, there was a phone number. You didn’t expect it. After all these months of getting messages from him, was it so simple? Could you just text him? Or maybe make a call?

You hesitated, looking around to make sure no one was watching you. Fortunately, everyone already packed their things and the corridor was empty.

You took your phone and carefully typed in the phone number. You hoped so that he finished his classes already; there would be nothing more disappointing than him not answering the first call you were able to make.

After a few moments of hesitation and mental preparation, you finally pressed the green button. From your phone, the flat sound echoed, urging you to wait.

You already started to lose hope, when the other finally answered the call.

“Hello?” 

You were beyond surprised with the softness of the boy’s voice. You didn’t really know what to expect, but until now, you decided to just imagine the least attractive person possible, to not raise your hopes. After all, if he never talked to you directly, he must have been somewhat ashamed of himself, that’s what you assumed. But even not knowing his face, that one word was enough to make you figure that you were mistaken. 

“Hello, is anyone there?” he spoke again and you realized you were just standing there, holding your breath, unable to answer. “Um, wait… [F/n]?” 

Your breath hitched and he must have heard that, because a chuckle followed, making you feel weak in less than a second.

“You must be really nervous now, am I making you nervous?” he spoke after a moment. “I’m nervous too, to be honest… It’s been a while, I didn’t really plan this out too well…” You leaned against your locker, trying to calm down your racing heart. But you still didn’t trust yourself much enough to speak. There didn’t seem to be a need to, though, as the boy kept the line busy. “I must have startled you with that message, but I’m really happy you decided to call me… Anyway, I know your classes just ended. I’m still in the parking lot, I could give you a drive home, if you don’t mind.”

You nodded, and it took you a short moment to realize that he couldn’t really see you right now.

“I-I uh… I-it’d be great” you finally stuttered out and wanted to slap yourself mentally for how awkward you felt. Not the best first interaction, really.

You could hear him chuckle again. You worried he’d tease you for how miserable you seemed, but nothing like that happened.

“Glad to hear you’re okay with it… Just go to the parking lot. I’ll be waiting for you by the entrance, I have a silver car, looks like any other but I’ll beep if you don’t see me. Hanging up for now. See you in a couple of minutes, princess” he said softly and hung up.

Your heart was still beating fast and the phone was still by your ear for the next twenty seconds at least. Finally, you let out a shaky breath and decided to get ready to leave.

* * *

There was almost no cars left in the parking lot. As soon as he noticed you from afar, he drove closer and stopped in front of the entrance, around ten meters from you. He knew that you can’t see him through the darkened glass of his windows, but he had a good view on the way you fidgeted with the edge of your blouse, hesitating for barely a second before stepping towards him. 

You looked slightly less nervous than he supposed you were during the short talk you two had. Back then, you couldn’t even speak a word. Now, you at least could walk properly. He smiled to himself, enjoying the last moments of secrecy before the two of you would officially meet.

Finally, you reached the car. He could see your eyes lit up when you made out his silhouette behind the window’s surface. You grasped on the handle and opened the door, leaning down to finally see him.

Your eyes met and the two of you stared at each other for a few pleasantly long seconds, taking in each other’s faces from up close.

He was in awe. You were, too.

You were the one to break the silence.

“Um… Hi” you said, laughing shyly. “Can I…?”

“A-ah, sure, get in” he replied and you awkwardly sat down in the car, closing the door behind you. The sound of the door being locked echoed in the silence and you found yourself suddenly realizing just what kind of situation you put yourself in.

“What’s… What’s your name?” you asked, tilting your head to the side and looking at the other curiously. You could tell you knew his face, you may have attended a few classes together, but you didn’t remember, which ones exactly. How come out of all the people, he noticed you? The two of you never talked, you were not an active student who’d stand out even during classes. Your appearance? Nothing in comparison to some of your classmates. Your personality? You hid most of it in your phone’s screen, your interests never leaked out.

“Baekhyun. Byun Baekhyun” he introduced himself, smiling at you and then looking forward when he slowly started the car. It seemed as though he wanted to give you all the time to look him up, considering he’s been doing that with you for the last few months.

“Ah, nice to meet you, I am…” He smirked and you mentally slapped yourself.

“…Right, you know my name. But it’s… still nice to meet you” you said sheepishly. You finally glanced forward, at the way he was driving. “Won’t you… ask for my address? Thought we were going there?” you asked nervously.

“Ah, sorry” he smiled, sparing you a glance. “I actually thought we could hang out together a bit before I drive you home. Would you mind? I’d like to show you where I live, too.”

You fidgeted with your blouse again, seemingly growing more nervous.

“I… okay, I guess.”

Why did you agree? Something in your gut told you not to, but you found yourself willing to fight that feeling; as though stepping outside of your safe zone would help you open up, make your life at least slightly more interesting.

The way Baekhyun��s face beamed at your agreement only ensured you that you did the right thing.

“Ah, seatbelts” he suddenly pointed out and you were fast to comply. You completely forgot about these. On that, the conversation ended, exchanged with pleasant silence. 

A few minutes later, you found yourself in front of a house. It seemed quite old, but average, with only one floor. The main gate opened and Baekhyun drove in, parking the car in front of the entry. He left the car and quickly rounded the vehicle, opening your door as well. You didn’t say anything, looking around curiously. The place seemed somewhat empty.

“You live here?”

“Yes, alone” he admitted. “My parents always worked far away so when I turned eighteen, they just stayed there, taking my sister there too. They pay the bills and I work in my free time, so I’m doing well without them here.”

“The house is huge though, doesn’t it feel lonely to be here all the time?” you asked. Spotting the concern on your face, he smiled warmly.

“It’s not that bad” he said. You followed silently as the two of you entered the house.

It looked nice, but Baekhyun didn’t seem to clean around here too much. It wasn’t messy, but the furniture was covered with dust except for the places he seemed to use often. A few pairs of shoes laid in front of the door, somewhat in chaos, and he quickly pushed them aside with his foot.

“S-sorry, I didn’t clean up, I didn’t think that… You know.”

You took your shoes off, placing your backpack on the floor next to his own, in the corridor. There was no reason to take it anywhere further; since there were only the two of you, its presence wouldn’t bother any housemates. The silence around was creepy at first, but you found yourself enjoying the comfort it gave. In this empty house, there was no one to trouble you, to judge you, to tell you to stay quiet. As soon as the speakers in Baekhyun’s room blasted out, the silence was obviously gone, but the feeling of privacy was not. The neighbours were too far away to hear the noise, even though the bass made the floor vibrate underneath your feet, but you didn’t mind. 

Baekhyun quickly came back to you as you looked around the rooms some more.

“Enjoying yourself?” he asked politely.

“It’s a nice house” you stated. “I mean, it may sound kinda dumb, but I mean it.”He laughed softly.

“I’m glad to hear that. You want something to eat? The lunch was already a few hours ago, but I got yesterday’s pizza, if you’re okay with it.”

“Pizza! Sounds great.” You felt yourself salivate at the mere thought. In truth, you didn’t eat much in the canteen. You were too busy with Sonia. 

“Come.”

The kitchen was bright and didn’t match the rest of the house in the slightest. It was minimalistic and modern, unlike the old-fashioned corridors and the living room you had a peek of less than a minute ago.

You sat on the bar stool behind the U-shaped counter, while Baekhyun took the pizza from the fridge and put it in the microwave. Not the healthiest food, but who would care? You only hoped so that during his parents’ absence it’s not the only thing he consumed.

“Actually, why did you want us to meet today? Since you weren’t planning it before…” you asked curiously, watching as the boy got various things done around the kitchen, taking out the glasses and putting some older dishes in the sink.

“Hmm… Can’t you tell?” he asked absent-mindedly, not looking at you.

“I wouldn’t be asking, if I…” You hesitated and then your eyes widened at the sudden realization. “It’s because of Sonia?” He didn’t confirm, but didn’t deny it either. “Don’t tell me… Were you jealous?”

He glared at you, looking slightly offended, which only made you smirk. You knew you were right, and now, that you grew slightly more comfortable in his presence, you didn’t mind teasing him a little.

“Cute” you chuckled.

“Hey!” he glared at you again. “I wasn’t jealous. I just didn’t want you to think I’m never going to do anything about it.”

“Hm… And would you? If Sonia never asked me out, would you want us to meet?”

He hesitated slightly, before leaning his back against the counter, stopping whatever he was doing at the moment.

“I wanted it for a while already” he admitted, somewhat avoiding your glance. “I just… wasn’t sure how to do it. But today, it kind of… blasted me off. I saw that she was fond of you for a while, but I didn’t think she’d dare to… be so open about this. Like… couldn’t she see you already have someone you like?” he mumbled grumpily and you found yourself growing nervous again.

“Well… I don’t think we’ve ever established that we like each other, have we?” you started carefully and Baekhyun finally looked back at you. In his eyes, you could see the strong insecurity he managed to hide until now, but which – as you realized – was there since the beginning. 

But what could you say? You – in fact – liked him, but you weren’t sure if this much.

“I… When she asked me out, I agreed” you admitted. “We’re meeting tomorrow morning, since it’s Saturday” you said, looking away, unable to stand the pressure of his stare.

A painful silence hung between the two of you, until the microwave beeped, signalizing that the pizza was done. For the next few few seconds, no one moved even for an inch. Then Baekhyun pushed himself off the counter, going to the microwave and taking the pizza out.

“Orange juice or tea?” he asked, putting the pizza on two separate plates. His voice seemed as calm and carefree as usual, but you couldn’t get the unpleasant feeling off your head.

“Um… Juice will do.”

He placed the plates in front of you, sitting by the other edge of the counter and pulling the glasses towards yourselves. The juice was already standing on the counter and he poured it into the glasses carefully. 

His hands were shaking, though. You could see it clearly from up close, but decided not to point it out.

“Thank you…” you whispered, sipping a bit of the juice and then turning your attention to the meal.

As the two of you ate, the silence was unsettling. The tension filling the air grew nothing but stronger. Some words urged to be spoken, yet you couldn’t find yourself actually saying them. 

Once the plates were empty, you finished your juice and put the glass down.

“Um… Thank you for the dinner” you started carefully. “I think I should go home though, I shouldn’t-”

“I won’t let you” Baekhyun replied simply. “If you go home now, you’ll go with Sonia tomorrow. I can’t let that happen.”

His voice was calm, way too calm for your liking. 

“You… know I wouldn’t stay for the night anyway” you said. “You can’t just force me not to go… She, I may… She’s really nice, and I want to give it a try” you stated. “I’m not saying I won’t give you a chance too, but… I don’t want to stand her up for no reason.”

“Then call her and tell her you can’t go.” The reply held a bit more emotion, but surprisingly, you found yourself growing more wary than relieved. 

“I told you that I want to go” you said firmly. “Sorry, but I… I really think I should go.”

You jumped off the stool, stepping in the exit’s direction.

“N-no, wait… I’m sorry” the boy started, following you and quickly grasping your hand before you could go any further. You shivered, startled by the force with which he pulled you backwards. “Don’t go, please, don’t…”

“You can’t tell me to stay here, Baekhyun. I already made my mind about that” you stated. “I’m sorry, but you won’t tell me whether I should be seeing someone or not.”

Your words were final, at least that’s what you thought.

But the moment in which you wriggled your hand out of the other’s grasp was the last one you remembered.

* * *

Soft music ringed in Minseok’s pocket when he stared at the TV’s screen. The show was so boring he didn’t think twice before answering the call. 

“Hello?”

“M-Minseok?”

“Baekhyun? What’s wrong?” He right away knew that something’s not quite okay. The other’s nervous voice betrayed him right away. When the boy started to stutter though, he couldn’t make out a single word. “H-hey, calm down first and tell me what’s going on. Just calm down.”

“O-okay.” It took him a few seconds to even out his breathing. Minseok waited patiently until the other spoke again. “I… I think I’ve hurt [F/n]. I don’t know… I don’t know what to do.”

“You… met with her? Did you said something bad? Is she mad at you?”

“N-no, I didn’t… She’s not… m-mad, she’s… Sh-she’s not moving, Minseok.”

and LSDKFJSLDK ABOUT THAT !!!!! like i really don't mind bc all of my friends (almost all of them) know very well that i'm into kpop (there's only so much i can hide lol) and most of them are not only really supportive but they want to listen to their music / know who i like which is really sweet but SLKDFJSKDL it was just super embarrassing bc our other friend was right there and she doesn't know anything about my interests so i was just like ....... pls be quiet LMAO ; but at the same time we are in college and ppl are into quirky things and if ppl make fun of me for that then there are worse things to be made fun of for lolol ,,,,,, OMG NOOO NOT UR SIBLING LOL they have a free pass to tease u then ;_____; lol it's okay tho love !!!! there's no shame in being happy with something u follow everyday or listen to everyday so whenever i get embarassed i just think to myself "ya know these ppl probably aren't obsessed with anything and that's really boring" LFKJSDKLJF <3

11 Questions

Two people actually tagged me in this but I’m doing @gentle-outlaw‘s here so its not a ridiculously long post. they’re both gonna have the same 11 questions but all the tagged people will be here sorry gfsjk

Gentle-Outlaw��s Questions:

1. Get the closest book next to you, open it to page 42, what’s the 3rd line on that page?

-...”the sun in? We must look into it!” - Gandalf from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

2. What is your happiest memory and why?

- i have many happy memories to choose from so i have no idea! i guess when we got marley would be an extremely happy memory, and when i got accepted to the university i wanted are both contenders

3. Do you have any OC’s (for fanfiction or totally original)? If so, describe them or if you have more than one, describe your favorite one!

- i have so many ocs its actually not funny anymore sklgdj i have maybe? 70? Anyway Alex Mercado and Tei Owka-Romero both contend for my favorite but Alex is the one I create more scenarios for so uhh here we go

Alex is 22 and lived in Alabama for a while before he and his mom moved to Ohio to escape Bad Situations. His mom and dad were both from Puerto Rico before they moved to America. He has medium length curly dark brown hair that he keeps in a small ponytail, umber eyes, and relatively short.

Timeskip forward he was lucky enough to have the money and the time to go to a con and met someone who was the counterpart to his cosplay, and they became friends. Oops that person wasn’t human and could cross dimensions, he grabbed onto them as they were crossing and now he doesn’t belong to any dimension or world, so time tosses him around.

Basically a load/save function in a game: that’s his life but he remembers it. if he dies he goes back to his last save, unless that save was considered “too late,” and eventually time puts him back further. time (the player?) decides when he can leave a world, and if they’re a completionist (like me with certain games) hes potentially not gonna have a fun time. some games he loves being in, like stardew valley. others....not so much.

4. Who is your all time favorite fictional character and why?

- ....arthur bcus shit he pretty and he so so good as a character but also? very relatable in the way he acts and like,,, thinks of things? if that makes sense?? im v bad with words gsjdk

5. What do you find yourself thinking about the most?

- ....cowboys. drawings of cowboys. cowboys

6. Look out your nearest window and describe what you see!

- its night so theres not much but uhhhh i can see the silhouette of my neighbors house in the backyard, i can see the light of the moon against the leaves of the bigger tree in the backyard, i can see the yellow crescent moon, and a lit window from someone far off behind my neighbor

7. What makes you feel nostalgic?

- childhood games and music from them. u play animal crossing, paper mario ttyd or mario galaxy osts and im humming along, and potentially crying a bit skjlgd

8. You have two hours left on earth, how do you spend them?

- probably blasting all my favorite songs, if it’s night, get in my car drive the gravel roads alone, at my own pace, alone

if its day see if anyone will eat sushi with me then go to the forest alone and walk

9. What’s your favorite sound?

-there is no way to describe this without sounding fucking crazy sdgkjl

in princess mononoke san’s mask gets shot and the sound it makes ive always adored?? like glass breaking but its lilted and then her EARRINGS SOUND is such soft pure ringing IM GSJKDGJ!!

THAT or the rising sun sound in okami....very good

10. What was the first fandom you were involved in?

-first fandom i like,,, looked at content other than the original source would be Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters when i was super young, but the first one i actually MADE content and posted for would be Overwatch i think

11. Describe your idea of a perfect day!

- waking up late but not considered afternoon, well rested, not a big breakfast but a satisfying one. walk marley for at least 30 minutes, go to the forest and walk around, draw or paint there for at least 2 hours,

come home, then it starts to storm but not bad but a low rumble and heavy rain, and i change into comfiest clothes possible, play viddy games with friends for a while, then make something either more drawing, felting, bracelet making, whatever.

dinner is my fav dish, i have ice cream as a snack at night, chocolate coffee, im in my fuzzy blanket, marley is on my lap, i am happy i am content i am safe

9/11, Apparently, and Cats: YOUNG AT HEART! CHAMP ID 40816, a 8 Yrs., 82 lbs of Joy Wating for YOU Brooklyn ACC TO BE KILLED – 9/18/2018 “If you still think you're a young pup then you are, no matter what the calendar says” ― John Grogan, Marley and Me Who said old dogs can’t learn new tricks or be as dapper as you please? No one told Champ, and he can rock a blue bowtie like nobody’s business. This 8 year young gent is super sweet, mild mannered, happy, joyful and playful. He never stops smiling and boy what a smile! He lights up a room, and he makes you feel like you are the most special person on the planet – and there’s something pretty darn SPECIAL about that! Champ is so deserving of a rescue, more than many dogs we’ve seen, and he is hoping with all his heart you will see him, pick him, and get him to safety ASAP. Champ needs a Champion. How about you? Please? PRIVATE MESSAGE our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance fostering or adopting handsome, happy Champ. A volunteer writes: I think I was left with a glow after I first hung out with Champ -- what a dreamboat! He might have needed a moment or two to warm up, but even if he's being bashful he just radiates sweetness. He comes to us due to housing issues and his previous owner had lots of wonderful things to say about him. He is reported to be friendly with strangers, was relaxed and playful with the resident child, friendly with female dogs, and even tolerant and respectful with cats! He has been very easy to handle on our walks and is mostly very low key, but does get adorable playful bursts. He romps after balls (and apparently also likes to play with rocks -- Mr. Resourceful!), jumps up for treats (and then sits perfectly and patiently for them), and catches mini bouts of the zoomies. He wags his tail when I talk to him, appreciates petting, and has the sweetest subtle smile and kindest eyes. Please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC and make him your sidekick!

Summary (1):: According to Champ's previous owner, Champ is social with female dogs but is uncomfortable with males. Here at the Care Centers, Champ is uncomfortable with novel dogs. He pinned the female greeter when she attempted to sniff his rear. The Behavior Department recommends that Champ be the only dog at this time. 9/7: When off leash at the Care Centers, Champ is uncomfortable and avoids the novel greeter. He quickly closes his mouth when she sniffs him and tenses his body. 9/11: Today Champ was introduced to a calm female dog.

The Behavior Department recommends that he be socialized in a more controlled setting, under the supervision of a behaviorist, until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Champ associate dogs with things he enjoys like toys or treats. My medical notes are...
