AU6 masterlist

a/n: wheeeeeeee here you go - chapter 2 of our beloved royal au! this one’s in yves’ POV and you’ll get to meet more characters here :) ty for reading and enjoyyyy <3

wc: 966

"He's back?" I bristled as my eyebrows furrowed. Facing my maids, I dismissed them with a quick wave of my hand, signalling them to leave my room. They were already done with my hair, anyway.

"Yes, Yves. He's currently settling into his new home and your father has gone off for today's court hearing.” Kozume Kenma, my childhood best friend, conveyed as he sat himself atop my velvet couch.

I walked over to my bed, and plopped myself onto the mountain of blankets and pillows, arranging my thoughts as I took a deep breath.

He said that he was never coming back. He said that he wanted to leave the house for good. He said that he wanted nothing to do with becoming the Royal Advisor-

Oh.

“So he’s back-,” I started.

“-to take over your father’s role,” Kenma finished.

My mind gave me sudden flashes of the times my brother would top his class and cohort in school every term - not that I was any different in the academic aspect - and the times he had participated in sword fighting competitions only to win first place.

Perhaps his change of heart came from the times where he would look at me with a silent rage knowing that I had surpassed his top score.

The sigh came out a little too harshly from my lips.

"Wait, Kenma.”

He turned his eyes from the portrait of our fair kingdom to me.

"Whose property is Keiji staying at, again?" My fingers fidgeted with the rose gold ring on my thumb.

"He leased it from the Miyas." His eyes glinted with confusion.

"From which Miya, specifically?" My stark stare fixated onto his eyes. His eyes widened in realisation before swearing beneath his breath.

Kenma and I had always been suspicious of my brother’s connections with the royals - more specifically, Osamu. We weren’t clear about exactly how close they were, or what their intentions were, but neither of us had a great feeling about it.

Miya Osamu was a prince of our kingdom. If Keiji arises to become the next Royal Advisor, he would no doubt sway the current King Miya to hand over the crown to Osamu because of said alliance. However, Osamu’s values and opinions don’t align with many of the peoples’, yet he is still as tenacious about being crowned king.

"You had better secure your position as Advisor, Yves," Kenma lifted my hand into the warmth of his calloused hands.

My fingers retracted from his touch, unfamiliar to his rough hands, contrary to his familiar face.

I will never get used to the callouses on his hands from all of his knight training. His hands used to be smoother then mine, since he used to only stay at home with his many books.

Nor will I ever be able to get used to seeing and feeling the veins that now pop whenever his fingers move-

Snap out of it, Yves.

I nodded in affirmation.

“In the end, the Royal Advisor will have the last say in deciding the next ruler of our kingdom,” Kenma stated.

“So we’ll need a plan,” I decided, voice strong and full of determination.

“For Atsumu to take the throne?” Kenma quipped, looking at me as if I were a maniac.

I rolled my eyes as I placed my other hand on top of his. “No, silly. I was thinking of his sister, Shina.”

His mouth formed a small “O” as he sat back in realisation.

“It’s been such a long time since I’ve looked into the politics of the court, Yves. My foresight in the next successor would usually match up to yours,” he frowned slightly, visibly upset.

I pull him into a hug, chuckling lightly. Gosh, even his shoulders have grown wider-

“Please, Kenma. You’ve been so busy training to become a knight, of course you wouldn’t have time to pay attention to all this gossip and talk of politics. You’ll be on par once you’ve passed your test and perhaps, you’ll get to be part of the Royal Intelligence Department.”

His eyes glistened in hopes for a better future.

Being a commoner in the Southern kingdom was not easy. Although Kenma’s father was a teacher of the noble children, Kenma was lucky he was able to advance this far to become a knight. This was despite his dreams of becoming a minister, which were brutally destroyed by his father’s objections.

There was a knock at the door. Two, then three, then five knocks.

Keiji.

The door opened.

“Hey, did you miss me?” He smiled coyly as he stretched his arms out wide. He was dressed in his usual navy blue suit, with our family crest pinned onto the top right of his blazer.

The corner of my lips tugged upwards into a smile as I walked into his arms. “It’s good to have you back, Keiji.”

It still felt like him, yet somehow different. The confident, almost cocky, glow in his eyes just seemed odd. Sure, he had self-confidence, but this new aura of his was an astonishing contrast to his former self.

My brother noticed Kenma in my room and gave him a slight nod, while Kenma stood and bowed.

“Come on, let’s head down. Aunt Maya would be so happy to see you. Plus, you need to get ready for tonight’s ball.” I tried to smile as warmly as possible.

I took his hand, intending to drag him back downstairs for a cup of tea when I felt the touch of an unfamiliar ring around his thumb.

I glanced down to have a quick look, before feeling my stomach drop and my eyes widen in equal parts of fear and horror.

There, on my brother’s thumb, sat a ring engraved with Prince Miya Osamu’s symbol.

The Grey Wolf.

Take Me Back, Back, Back

For @bidoofgodofdestruction

Summary: One minute he's failed to convince Hinata Hajime against the Kamukura Izuru Project. The next, he's in a hospital bed with Hinata Hajime leaning over him. In a scene that he could've sworn already happened months ago.

Rating: T+

Warnings: Violence both implied and explicit albeit minor and not super graphic. Also this entire thing circles around a time loop so there are implicit character deaths in it, too. And angst. Lots of angst.

Notes: I got commissioned to write time loop KomaHina where Komaeda tries to prevent Hinata from signing up for the project! It’s set, however, in bidoof’s Ultimate Despair fic so you need to read it for context. It mentions band stuff. The band stuff is important. It’s also super angsty. This and that fic because...obviously. Wheeeeeeee.

***Alternate Ao3 Link***

Commission? Donate?

He first remembers a dead phone line. The ground rippling and sinking below. It’s cold. It’s dark. He still can’t move. His heart pounds on the inside of his chest.

Let me out, let me out!

It’s screaming. Inside, it’s all just screaming.

Let me out! Let me see him! Please! Please! It can’t end like this!

“It’s not use,” Matsuda Yasuke had told him. “He’s too far gone.”

Hinata-kun.

He laughs. His trapped heart sobs between its screams.

Hinata-kun!

And he wakes up, jumping as Hinata yelps.

“H-Hey, easy, easy there!” Hinata grips his shoulders as he thrashes, squeezing and frantic. “Calm down, it’s just me!”

He stills. He’s panting. He’s in the bed of the nurse’s office. There’s sunlight filtering through the window, catching onto Hinata Hajime’s worried face. His furrowed brow. Komaeda stares.

The next onslaught of memories leave him limp and breathless. Hinata exclaims something. Is quick to embrace him so that he doesn’t slip. Quickly spills out bland reassurances. Komaeda’s heart is still pounding, but it’s not asking him to be let out.

“Hinata-kun.”

Hinata rubs his back awkwardly, nearly choking out his response as if he were shaken up, too. “Y-Yeah?”

“What just happened?”

“I-I don’t know,” Hinata stammers. “I mean, we were having band practice. You were swaying. Mioda thought it was to the music but you looked a little paler than usual and then—uh. You fell. Tumbled off the stage, too. How hard did you...?”

Not being an Ultimate, Hinata’s hand groping his skull for the implied bruise was uncomfortable and awkward. Komaeda still leaned into the touch. It hurt like hell, but he’s been through worse. So much worse.

“Aw, jeez.” Hinata quickly retracts his hand. “Yeah, that’s a bump. Don’t think we can continue practicing like this.”

“Ahaha.” Komaeda remembers, now, and just like before, he shakes his head. “No, no, I’m fine enough to sing. I can just sit down while I do if you’re worried about my balance.”

“Are you sure? There’s no shame in taking a break while you’re injured.”

“There is shame in disappointing others, especially when they’re Ultimates.”

They’ve had this conversation before. It’s all familiar.

When his feet touch the ground, he feels the rippling.

Was that—all really just a dream?

Hinata’s expression is strained and conflicted. It’s clear he wants to argue. Komaeda remembers being irritated with him. Bristling and telling him off.

He feels different now.

“I’ll be fine. It’s fine.”

“If you...say so.”

He says all that and when Hinata pulls away to let him stand, his heart thumps in protest.

No, no, no.

“A-At least help me up,” Komaeda mutters lamely, raising his hand. Hinata shorts, but he doesn’t hesitate. He takes Komaeda’s hand. He smiles just a bit.

He squeezes, and Komaeda’s heart soars.

--

There were more moments of familiarity. Conversations and banter that he had been through once before. Flashes of the future pushing at his skull before they’d happen in front of him. Building and building until a fateful, undoubtedly significant moment.

It was Hinata’s birthday. He showed up to give him a present. He hadn’t seen anyone else in weeks. It hadn’t been any easier the supposed second time. He felt a little sick, honestly.

And then, Hinata Hajime asked him—

“If you had the opportunity to be gifted talent...would you take it?”

“What on earth are you saying?”

His initial response was the same, but his heart was pounding in his ears.

“You’re fine as you are.” The words spill out before he can stop them. “You don’t need talent, you’re already worthwhile.”

“H-Huh?! That’s a complete 180 from your usual behavior.” Hinata straightens up, but he seems attentive. Komaeda wonders. “What’s gotten into you all of a sudden?”

It occurs to him, then, that he’s gripping Hinata’s hands tight. Tight enough that his own might break.

“You’re fine as you are,” he presses. “You don’t need any sort of talent! So, just—forget it! Forget all about it!”

“H-How the hell am I supposed to forget?! Oi, Komaeda, let go!”

“Hajime, don’t go—!”

Hinata shoves him away. The words keep spilling and spilling.

“Hope and talent still can’t be manufactured—no matter what they do, no matter what you do, it won’t matter. All you’re doing is killing yourself. What’s the good in that? You’re reducing yourself to a husk for—for what? For just the idea that you could be talented?!”

“W-What are you—you don’t know what you’re—argh!” Hinata clutches his head, and he screams. “Shut up! Just shut up!”

“Hajime, I-I’m just saying...”

“Get out! Get out, get out, get out!”

“H-Hajime, please—!”

Hinata removes him forcibly. He threatens to call the police when Komaeda bangs on his door. It’s an empty threat. The police won’t care, especially not the campus cops. But Komaeda freezes, seizes, and then—

Through blurring tears, he wakes up again. Hinata is by his side again, fretting over him.

“W-What’s wrong, Komaeda?! Komaeda?”

“I-I... I... A-Aha... Haha... How...!” Throwing his arm over his eyes, he wheezes in grief and euphoria. “How lucky—! To get not just a second chance, but a third!”

“Komaeda!”

--

That’s the delight about his luck, you see. Luck is when something happens in spite of the odds. As long as there’s that non-zero-percent chance, there’s a way. And his Ultimate Luck worked that very way.

Wasn’t that wonderful? Wasn’t that amazing?

No matter how many times he tried over and over and over and over and over and over again, as long as there was a chance of success—none of it mattered! None of it at all!

Even when—

“Look, Komaeda, I know you mean well, but—I’m not in the mood, I’m sorry. I don’t think—I can talk to you anymore.”

And when—

“Y-You’re getting kinda creepy, so like...can you just leave it alone...? I don’t need you patronizing me.”

Especially when—

“I don’t know who told you about the project, but if it gets out, it’ll be bad for Hope’s Peak. Sorry, Komaeda-kun, but we just can’t take the risk, even if it’s with you. But you’ll understand, won’t you?”

When—

“I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please, open your eyes! Komaeda! Komaeda! NAGITO!!”

--

“Hey, can you hear me?”

He wakes up, dazed and dizzy. He still remembers the cold stream of blood running down his temple. Hinata shakes his shoulder a bit.

“You with me? That fall was—pretty bad.”

So bad it killed me, he thought drearily. But it’s okay. I’m still here. I still have—a chance. But what should I do this time? What’s even less? How should I—?

“Maybe I should get you ice?” Hinata wonders, almost idly. “Komaeda, how are you feeling?”

I’m so frustrated.

“Like shit.”

“Oh. Wow. That’s blunt. Guess you did hit your head pretty hard.” Hinata shrugs it off. He goes to the freezer to fetch an ice pack. “Yeah, I’ll tell Mioda that we’ll have to stop band practice early today. And I don’t want to hear any arguments.”

What can even be done about you?

He does come up with an idea. One that’s sure to make Hinata Hajime hate him. He knows going to Hope’s Peak staff is a dead end, figuratively and literally—he supposes, then, all he has left is burning the bridge entirely.

“Actually, Hinata-kun.” He manages his usual smile as Hinata hands him the pack. He doesn’t feel the chill seeping into his skull as he presses it to the bump there. “I’ll just tell Mioda-san that the band isn’t an option anymore.”

Hinata Hajime blinks at him rather dumbly.

“You...don’t think you can recover at all?”

Aha. You’re so cute.

“I can’t accept it. You in a space for Ultimates. Associating with Ultimates. Reserves like you—that level of cockiness should be considered a crime.”

Hinata Hajime blinks again.

“...seriously? This again? You’re going to throw another tantrum now? Y’know—you’re just going to upset the others. Mioda, Saionji, Tsumiki, like—they don’t deserve this shit. Just rest. Recover. But if you want to drop out, I’m not going to stop you. It’s your own damn problem to deal with.”

“Ahaha. You make me sound so selfish.” Maybe I am. You’re just one person. The loss of someone like you shouldn’t be significant. And, yet. I want to prevent it. “It’s not just me, I swear. It’s you. All you. Hinata-kun, I—think you should go back to your last high school.”

“Well, I refuse. Sorry.”

Right now, Hinata Hajime looks at him as if he were the scum of the earth. He should be used to that.

It still hurts. But, compared to everything else—this meager self-centered pain is—

“Haha. Hinata-kun, you’re such a piece of work. You’re so pathetic, trotting after every Ultimate’s heels. You’re even latched onto someone like me.” He laughs. It hurts. It’s cold. “Do you think that if you cling hard enough that you’ll be taken in? Like a stray dog?”

“That wasn’t why!” Hinata exclaimed. “You—I just got dragged into this from the start!”

“I doubt it’s that.” The ice is set aside. Komaeda swings his legs over the side of the bed. “I really do believe you think it’s that easy to be accepted. Just to wiggle your way in. Like a naughty cuckoo. But, don’t you know? Birds aren’t all fools. They can spot the fakes. They reject them. It’s going to be the same with you. So.” He pokes Hinata’s sternum. There’s a flutter. “It’s best you just leave before you’re dropped, Hinata-kun. It’ll hurt less that way.”

Hinata slaps his hand away.

“Fuck you.”

Komaeda slaps him across the face. The response is immediate. Hinata seizes the collars of his shirt, pulls him close, and—

Komaeda screams.

The response is immediate.

Hinata drops him in surprise. A passing teacher rushes in. Komaeda points. Hinata pales.

Hinata tries to stammer out his name. Komaeda doesn’t look at him.

“Teacher, this reserve attacked me.”

Hinata shouts at him before he’s yanked away. It could’ve been out of rage. Confusion. It could’ve been a plea. Komaeda doesn’t really remember that part—but he does remember Hinata Hajime’s expulsion soon after.

--

The days pass.

The world still ends.

Komaeda Nagito can only laugh until he bursts into tears.  He passes out soon after and hopes he doesn’t wake up again.

Christmas Shopping with! Yoon Jisung

another installment of the chirstmas collab with @alliwannado-w1 and @jihoonslattee ft. toy store worker! yoon jisung!!

jisung works at a toy store in a mall on the second floor

and he loves it

he loves seeing children’s faces glowing in happiness after entering the store

he loves helping children find the perfect toy

jiSUNG’S JUST FULL OF LOVE FOR WHAT HE DOES

when children start throwing tantrums, jisung’s the first person to rush over

the child stops crying after 5 seconds because thE FACES JISUNG MAKES TO CHEER THEM UP ARE LEDGENDARY

co-worker! sungwoon swears that jisung would marry his job if he could

everyone who’s ever visited this specific mall knows of yoon jisung

i mean, he’s the resident sunshine who glows so brightly whenever he smiles that everyone in the mall stops to wear sunglasses

he’s also the reason why every kid ever wants to go to that one toy shop lol

the boss wanted to make jisung the mascot at one point but jisung was like,

“oh no!! i’m probably going to scare people away from the shop haha!”

and that’s how sungwoon was forced into being the mascot because he was “smol and fluffy”

jisung never lets sungwoon live because of it

“oh look!!! sungwoon’s on our poster again!!11!111″

“...TEAR IT DOWN”

chirstmas is jisung’s favorite holiday

part of it was because of the snow and quality family time 

but mostly it was because mORE SMILEY KIDS WOULD WALK INTO THE SHOP

CHEEKS RED WITH COLD

AND EYES GLEAMING WITH EXCITEMENT 

the shop has this thing where the staff can wrap your presents for you

and everyone h a t e s being put on gift wrapping duty

because its??? so??? boring???

they’d much rather do something else

aka find a corner where the boss can’t see you and go on your phone smh

so when the boss calls a meeting and announces that the gift wrapping duty is back!!!

all he gets are groans in response

except from jisung though

he puts his arm straight up and with sparkling eyes, he says

“I VOLUNTEER”

“uh ok i guess jisung’s on gift duty for the fourth year in a row”

but daniel and jaehwan are also selected for different shifts

jisung nearly has a heart attack when he hears that jaehwan’s also on gift duty

beCAUSE THAT BOY CAN’T WRAP GIFTS FOR SHIT

so jisung spends his lunch break teaching jaehwan how to wrap a gift properly and prettily :’)

jaehwan tries to learn because he doesn’t want to deal with screaming kids if he wraps their gift shittily

it doesn’t turn out as perfect as jisung’s but it’ll have to do :’’’)

jisung’s also the only person who happily wears the santa hat uniform addition 

jiSUNG’S WILL HAPPILY DO ANYTHING FOR THIS SHOP

HE LOVES THE SHOP WITH HIS WHOLE HEART SIDVBIS

even if the pay isn’t as high as other jobs, jisung’s content :’) 

he’s such an angel i love him

you worked at a local kindergarten!

you’ve only been working for a couple of months but the kids there absolutely adore you!!

you’d step in the classroom and everyone would rush over to hug you

the kindergarten once had a popularity vote among the teachers and you ranked first even though you were new :””)

everyone wanted to be in your class

and the other teachers are lowkey offended 

it was a tradition every year to bring the kids on a trip to the mall for them to write small wish lists to send to santa :’’’’’)

the kids were thrilled obviously

“sCHOOL TRIP TIME WHEEEEEEEE”

it took a while for them to calm down

but they eventually did 

you’ve never been to the mall in this area,,, so you’re kinda scared that you’re gonna get lost or lose one of the kids etc

you tried getting out of it

“hey uh cough cough minhyun? cough”

“yeah?”

“sneeze i think i’m down with a cold”

“oh no!!!111!!1!1 would you like to take a few days off???”

“yes-”

“is what you think i’d say right? too bad we’re already low on staff as it is we don’t need another ‘sick’ one”

THERE GOES THAT PLAN OUT THE WINDOW

you knew that there was no point in arguing anymore :’)

on the day you were a nervous wreck

you had planned to go around the mall yesterday but that didn’t happen

thanks to your close friend suddenly dropping by

yoU WERE SWEATING AND YOUR EYES WERE DARTING EVERYWHERE

EVEN THE KIDS THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS OFF

“miss y/n? are you okay?”

“o-OH YEAH I’M FINE TOMMY”

WIPES SWEAT

after herding the kids into the bus, you tried to make a run for it

but minhyun catches you with his signature “where do you think you’re going” smile on his face

then proceeds to fling you onto the bus

upon reaching the mall, the kids immediately screamed to go visit the toy store

having no choice but to do so, you bring your little group of kids towards the toy shop on the second floor

while looking at the map you have on your phone lmao

you let out a sigh in relief when you reach the store without anything happening

you tell the kids not to wander off by their own and stick close together

entering the shop, you catch a certain worker’s eye 👀👀

i mean you would catch my eye as well

it’s not everyday someone walks into a shop with 10 kids around them

but of course the shop expected your kindergarten to visit this time of year

and that particular worker slides up to your party while in the lego section

“hi! i’m jisung! is there anything you’re looking for?”

you were about to respond but the kids responded before you could

“wHERE ARE THE BARBIES???”

“BRING ME A STUFFED BEAR PLEASE”

p a ni c s

“i’m so sorry- n O EMILY STOP CLINGING ON THE WORKER’S LEG”

jisung lets out a hearty laugh,

“don’t worry! i’m used to it”

anD BOY WAS HIS LAUGH ATTRACTIVE

is it getting hot in here or is it just jisung? 👀👀

jisung squats down to the little girl’s height and talks to her in the s o f t e s t tone

and you think that’s he’s possibly the cutest man you’ve ever m e t

“miss y/n!!!! stop staring at him!!”

buoVOUVODUV???????

jisung’s draws his attention from the little girl to look at you

yOU GLOW BRIGHT RED

“I WASN’T- UH- I WAS LOOKING AT THAT STUFFED RABBIT BEHIND YOU YEAH”

AND JISUNG CHUCKLES AT YOUR OBVIOUSLY FLUSTERED FACE

deciding not to make you glow any more red, he says,

“hey, i’ll help you deal with the kids today yeah?”

“OHMYGOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH”

BECAUSE

FINALLY 

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE MALL WELL

“i’ll go tell my boss!”

he doesn’t

he tells sungwoon to cover for him

“heY YOU TOLD ME TO POSTPONE MY DATE TO WORK HOW COME YOU GET TO-”

covERS SUNGWOON’S MOUTH

“it’s not a da t e”

sungwoon rolls his eyes

“sure ok”

and so jisung joins your party!!

y’all look like a cute family with 10 kids :’)

throughout the day, jisung’s interaction with the kids and his funny personality made you feel like melting

was it possible for a man to be this adorable??

you didn’t know but,,

jisung was also melting for you too :’)))

so when minhyun calls you and says that it’s time to leave

jisung doesn’t want to let you go

neither did you tbh

so as you herd the kids into the bus once again, jisung pulls you back for a moment

“hey,,,, uh,,,, have you done your christmas shopping yet?”

“not yet!! i’m planning to do so this sunday”

“oh!! great!! um,,, i was wondering if you wanted to do it together? sunday’s my day off too,,,”

hE WAS AVOIDING EYE CONTACT AS HE ASKED YOU AND YOU WERE SQUEALING INSIDE

“yES! I MEAN-- sure!”

and then jisung looks at you with the whole galaxy in his eyes

his cheeks were flushed but you had no idea whether it was because of the weather or because he was flustered

“REALLY???”

you reply with a smile and a nod of your head

he then digs through his pockets for a pen

and asks you to write your number on his hand

the pen was in the shape of a giraffe

minhyun screams for you as soon as you finished writing the last digit

“i’ll text you!!”

jisung yells as you run towards the bus, waving at him with a huge smile

he does

and you two don’t stop texting until sunday

“y/n! over here!!”

you rush over to the waiting jisung 

“i’m sorry did you have to wait for a long time?”

he smiles and claims that he just got here

and you two head into the mall

as soon as you two step in, you guys were surrounded by couples who were also christmas shopping

and it felt awkward for the first time since you’ve known jisung

clEARS THROAT

“so,,, y/n, where do you want to go first?”

you randomly point at a stationary store 

and you two exit a few minutes later

with a bunch of bags in hand

“i knEW WE SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE INTO THAT STORE”

hOLD IN YOUR TEARS Y/N, YOUR WALLET WILL BE O K

jisung laughs 

“THIS ISN’T SOMETHING TO LAUGH OVER”

“sorRY”

HUFFS

and you two continue your raid of the mall

exiting a new shop with more bags each time :”)

at one point y’all entered a furniture shop and accidentally walked into the beds section

the worker there mistakes you for a couple and smirks at you two 👀👀

yOU TWO SUDDENLY REALIZE WHAT THE SMIRK MEANT

AND HURRIED OUT OF THE STORE

y’all also entered the toy store jisung works at

and jisung’s co-workers are all staring at you two

especially sungwoon and jaehwan who followed you two around the shop talking loudly about how jisung was boyfriend material

“DID YOU KNOW JISUNG IS GREAT AT COOKING RAMEN???”

“OH REALLY???”

“YEAH WHOEVER MARRIES HIM WOULD BE LUCKY”

JISUNG WAS SWEATIN G

WHY ARE HIS FRIENDS SO EMBARRASSING

“y/N LETS LEAVE THE SHOP”

“what- i haven’t finished-”

PUSHES YOU OUT

but doesn’t forget to buy you a gift from the shop

after wandering around the mall more, you two end up in front of the giant christmas tree 

the lights casted shadows around 

and you turn to face jisung, finding him looking up at the tree with those stars in his eyes

then he turns to face you with that huge smile of his

and bOY HIS FACE ILLUMINATED BY THE LIGHT WHILE HE SMILES HNNNNG

then he suddenly pulls out a rabbit soft toy

“merry christmas y/n! here’s your present!!”

this was the same rabbit you had claimed to be staring at while you were actually staring at jisung

“you were staring at this the other day right?”

yOU BURST INTO LAUGHTER

jisung thought you were laughing at his gift :(

“IM NOT LAUGHING AT THE GIFT, I’M JUST LAUGHING BECAUSE,,”

“because??”

“I WASN’T ACTUALLY STARING AT THE RABBIT, I WAS STARING AT YOU,,,,, THANK YOU ANYWAYS THOUGH”

and yOU SNATCH THE RABBIT FROM HIS HANDS

TO HIDE YOUR REDDENING FACE

jisung’s face lights up at this

“y/n?”

“yes?”

“what do you think about today being our first day?”

“??first day??”

“yeah, as a couple”

STATIONARY SHOPS MAKE ME GO BROKE OSFDGBOSB

also this was lowkey kinda shit,,,,, jisung’s actually a ray of sunshine in human form and i love him so much anyone who says he’s ugly can come fight me

post #369

main points:

- wake up around like 11:30/12pm...

- do some trip booking with jwoos

- eat a salad from honey grow that sheena bought me on her way home from philly orchestra practice

- pack my stuff for ski trip

- go to trevor’s to pick up trevor josh and bryan

- drive to bear creek

- ski all evening! for like 6 hours from 4pm-9:30pm

- drive home, shower and pass out

today i:

- woke up around 11:30am to my alarm after snoozing for a while. i felt really lazy and tired... mostly cause i went so sleep later ish last night around 1:30am

- i went downstairs and grabbed a donut to eat for like 15 minutes. dad was making some boiled beef and stuff for the next two weeks since we probably wouldn’t have access to the kitchen

- i went upstairs and started booking our trips with jwoos over fb messenger around 12:30. we booked our plane tickets and airbnbs in chicago and seattle. the last thing to figure out was housing in seattle. i took a pause to eat a salad sheena got me from honey grow. it was pretty great. it was kale, eggs, chicken, bacon, mozzarella, and some other stuff with some kind of vinagrette or something. sheena says she gets it all the time and i liked it. i went back to try to do some more bookings with jwoos but decided i didn’t have time cause around 2:30pm i had to pack up and leave to go to trevor’s to go skiing

- grabbed my bag that i used to use in high school and then left the house. i fortunately found the bag when i was cleaning out the closet so that was pretty easy. i had my helmet, goggles, gloves and snow pants in there so that was nice. i got my big red jacket and then drove to trevor’s

i was the first one there and then josh and bryan shortly arrived afterwards. i said hi to trevor’s mom and then once everyone was ready we hopped into my car and drove over to bear creek. it was about an hour drive and we left trevor’s around 3pm, getting to the mountain by 4:30pm. we stopped by wawa on the way to grab some snacks. i bought my dinner ahead of time which was a chicken caesar wrap and goldfish LOL

- we parked, got dressed and then bought tickets and it was $76 o_o. $39 for ski rental and $36 for the evening pass. damn. anywho then we all took a bathroom break and then went to get ski boots. then we got the actual skis. it was everyone’s first time skiing so we really had no idea what we were doing. the ski boots were kind of hard to put on ngl. but eventually we got it. we got the poles outside and the trekked outside and hopped on the carpet thing to the top of a bunny slope. trevor looked up some tips online about pizza-ing but that was the extent of our knowledge. i went skiing once or twice when i was like 7 years old but i’m pretty sure i forgot how to do it

once we got off the carpet we all strapped into our skis and then tried to start moving. i moved like a few inches and then fell on my butt LOL. and then i had no idea how to get up. i forgot how long the skis are so i couldn’t turn my feet like i normally would to get up. i eventually just unstrapped and stood up and got back in. josh trevor and bryan were also struggling. bryan was having issues with his skis cause they seemed to come loose but i think we later realized he was pushing the wrong thing to unstrap from the skis. he was actually loosening the fit or something. but yeah we all slowly made it down the hill the first run. i think i got the hang of pizza-ing on the first run cause that’s what i remember from when i was 7. then josh, then trevor and bryan after fixing the skis

then we went up the carpet again for round two. this time was a bit better for me. i was getting more the hang of pizza-ing and accidentally doing some carving but not really realizing how. near the end of the slope, i realized that if i just treat each foot as a snowboard and the insides of my hoot are like the heels of a snowboard, carving is just a bunch of heel turns back to back. you shift from right heel(s) to left heel(s) halfway through each turn and take a little leap of faith. i was really happy i got it. bryan also got the hang of it the second run. trevor and josh were still at the top of the hill when we got down so bryan and i decided to go up for a third run

the third run i shared the carving analogy knowledge with trevor and josh. bryan also shared his knowledge on pizza-ing which was spreading your legs farther apart to be able to stop. trevor gave it a try and then eventually got it by the end of the mountain. josh fell over several times and was struggling to get up. it really is a pain to get up in skis. each time it took him longer to get up cause it required more energy. bryan and josh were ready to go in to take a break for dinner/ water but trevor and i still wanted to go again cause trevor wanted to make sure he got the muscle memory for it

we tried to go on the carpet but then the guy said the carpet was broken and needed some fixing. so were like dang. so we just walked up a little bit on the slope, skiied a bit to get the muscle memory and went inside to meet up with josh and bryan. i decided to go get my food from the car and repark it. josh got some nachos, trevor ate some chicken tenders + fries and bryan ate some crackers i brought to him that he had gotten on our wawa stop

- then it was like 8pm and we went back outside to the bunny slope to ski three times. trevor and bryan were getting the hang of it but josh was still struggling, falling down a bit. trevor and i tried to help him out and on the second run, he made it down falling only once :D then on the third run, i think he made it down without falling at all

then trevor bryan and i went on the lift to one of the main slopes and josh did one final run on the bunny slope cause he didn’t feel comfortable with the lift. once we got off the lift, trevor and bryan went to the second half of the slope... and i went down the first one. i didn’t realize we were supposed to cross there whoops. but i went down on my own and i felt an immense cramping in my right outer thigh. i hadn’t exercised that muscle that intensely on the bunny slope i almost had to bail out cause i was going too fast to handle the pain. but eventually i got it to stop and rested. then i went down the rest of the mountain taking it slow and it was totally fine. i got to the bottom where the lift was and then fell T.T 

i met up with josh at the bunny slope and we waited a few minutes for trevor and bryan. they were taking a while so i decided to go the bunny slope one last time cause i was having fun with it. sooo i took it to the way top and then skiied down wheeeeeeee. it was great i was carving and it felt awesome. then i skiied wall the way down to where the rental return was cause the hill was a straight shot down. also it started snowing lightly but nothing was picking up on the ground yet

- we returned our rentals and put on our shoes. it felt really freeing, made a bathroom break, and then drove back home. we stopped by wawa again. i got some mac and cheese to get myself warmed up and then we got back around 11pm ish after leaving around 10pm. i was so tired LOL. josh bryan and trevor unloaded their stuff from the car, then we all headed home. bryan still was gonna go out cause he promised his sister he would but trevor and josh were still maybe’s. i already was a no from the start cause i thought i’d be way too tired after skiing (and i was)

- i drove home and got back around 11:30pm. there was a light coating of snow on the ground. then i showered, chilled in bed for like 10 minutes and then passed out by like 12:30am. i was so tired

the end
