#Close Range Love

[bluesuns3t]

Recently I was doing some report on "why I always fall for fictional men and never fall in love with men in real life"

I watch all of my favorite series and movies, and it occurred to me that Japanese fictional characters have been very interesting to me rather than any fictional men from other countries. At first, I was not finding the reason why until I realized

The expression of the male lead. I don't know what I should call it cause some of them are from BL. I always captivated on how they look at their partner with some lust in their eyes but also look vulnerable at the same time. Let me give you an example

1. Segasaki from My Personal Weatherman

This is the first series of rewatch cause I want to feel the butterfly in my stomach everytime Segasaki look at Yoh. I mean what this man deal so he can look like that. Everytime he look at yoh it's like he's ready to devour him right there right now. I can't get enough of his facial expression

2. Haiba Jin from Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoshi

I don't know what his deal for having such a seductive look. It's kinda inappropriate but ppfftt I don't really care. I know I'm weird cause teacher and student relationships has been my fave trope since forever.

3. Ito sensei from Sensei (2017)

I've always been Toma ikuta fans even since I watch Bokura ga Ita way back when I was in junior high. But one day, he decided to play as a teacher who has feeling for his students and I was like "hold my heart for a sec" cause I know it going to be lit.

4. Sakurai sensei from Close Range Love

If you familiar with student-teacher love story you might also watch close range love. The student teacher relationship between Sakurai senses dan yuni it just *chef's kiss.

5. Tendo Sensei fron An Incurable Case Of Love

As a nurse i might said, there's a part of my life wanting to find a doctor as my future husband but none of all my colleagues look like Takeru Sato and to be honest I'm very disappointed.

6. Togawa from Old Fashioned Cupcakes

I've seen unhealthy amounts of (specifically) this scene. There is no need for further explanation.

I might writing for part 2

the irony of stan being left with the journal that details the portal deactivation process.... being haunted for decades with the knowledge that the button that could've saved ford was technically only a few feet away from where stan had been standing the entire time...

that polls got me fucked up realizing that i have kind of an odd stance on the concept of unconditional love. to me unconditional love is real and thats really scary because I can't control it and it can hurt me. I know from experience that I wont necessarily stop loving some people completely even when theyre horrible to me and others. I know that some people won't stop loving me even when I am hurting them. and I know that sometimes people do harmful things because they think it is what someone they love needs them to do. scary!!!!!! i'd better not fuck this up!!!!

I love all the Battletech mechs that are kind of ugly and Contraption looking. I love that the Starslayer has good weapons, heat management, armor, and mobility for a Medium Mech but it looks like this

I just know some MechWarrior is pissed that they don't get the regal look of the Shadow Hawk or the rugged look of the Wolverine or Centurion. But too bad, you're going in the Contraption

Unencumbered Dreams. Pt.1

Cody's dreams were dark, twisted things. They consisted of blood, tears, and an echoing order he can never comprehend. He was accustomed to it by now.

In fact, many nights aboard the Negotiator he simply tried to forgo sleep- It wasn't as if there wasn't enough to do. Caf was a bitter but necessary friend; and Cody learned to work through the anxiety inducing jitters that signified too much caf in his system, it was his version of normal. It had all changed when he passed out in the Generals room though.

It wasn't a large room by any means; there was a bed built into the walls, a side area where you could heat up something, two small chairs separated by a table and a refresher. Given the Clones stayed in packed barracks and had to wait in line for the refreshers- It was certainly a luxury. Cody himself had a smaller, less accommodating room given his rank, he would consider himself lucky if he ever had time to really use it. The Jedi's room, while it has little in terms of personal items, was warm in a way nowhere else on the ship was.

It felt like the rooms Cody and his batchmates shared on kamino, filled with laughter and memories. He wasn't sure if it was some Force Osik or if the General just made everywhere he went better. It was comfortable, it was quiet, and most importantly, he felt safe. It was a feeling the General often inspired, Cody could rely on the man, he had proven it time and time again. It wasn't a stretch of imagination that Cody's subconscious connected his General to safety. Cody just didn't realize how much so until he fell asleep while doing paperwork with the man- and he didn't have a single nightmare.

He hadn't slept that well since he was a cadet, tiny and unaware of the horrors to his existence- which wasn't that long to be fair. Cody remembers vividly leading up to it, they had been tapping, scrolling, and occasionally signing away at their respective data pads. Cody had a fresh cup of caf next to him, he had lost count of the amount he drank after cup 9. His General was across from him at the small table in his room, his own cup of tea slowly going cold. The Jedi always forgot to drink his tea; it was a common enough occurrence to be downright comical.

Cody remembers snorting at it, and had sleepily blinked at the man across of him. "Sir, your tea is going cold." He had said, and watched as Obi-wan blinked a bit, processing, before smiling and reaching to take a sip of his cup. His General had thanked him, flashing an earnest, almost sheepish smile. Cody had only huffed in reply, and turned back to his work- it was then things got fuzzy. He remembers placing his head down for a second, trying to make a headache go away, and then he had simply forgot to pick it back up.

He woke the next morning, curled up in a bed that didn't smell like his own. He was warm, with a thicker then normal blanket placed atop of his dozing form, and for the first time in years he felt well rested. It took several moments for him to realize what was wrong with that statement- and he had jolted upright, blinking the sleep from his eyes and looking around. His General wasn't in the room, it was empty, and it was then he realized who's room he had fallen asleep in- who's bed he was currently on.

After he scrambled out of it, and fixed it back together again, he had nothing to do but privately freak out. He didn't know why the General hadn't simply kicked him out to go to his own room, and he wasn't sure if the man would be irritated at the loss of his own bed. After a couple of minutes in which he allowed himself to plan his apology and prepare for possible scorn; He left the room and made his way to the observation deck, it was most likely where the Jedi was given the time. He was proven right, as he had found the man talking jovially with Waxer, not appearing disgruntled in the slightest.

Cody made his way over, an apology already at the tip of his tongue, when his General had turned to greet him, a radiant smile already adorning his face. Cody felt his face go red, as his embarrassment flared bright. "Commander! I hope you had good sleep, apologies for not waking you, dear." He said, and his smile turned sheepish, "You simply looked far to tired, I didn't want to disturb you." The Jedi finishes, looking imploringly at Cody. Cody flounders.

He feels his face flush further, and mortifyingly, Waxer raises a brow behind the General; looking far too amused at Cody's embarrassment. "I-It's fine, sir. Apologies for," Cody stumbles, looking for the words he had painstakingly put together just a bit ago, "for falling asleep on you. I didn't intend to." He finishes lamely, and internally groans at himself. The General simply laughs, "No, no, it's quite alright, it was late." He says, his eyes crinkling at the edges from his smile.

Cody looks away then, nodding jerkily. He does not see Waxer starting to grin, eyes lighting up with glee. Neither does he see Obi-wans eyes turn unmistakenly fond. He only can wish the ships floor would swallow him whole- and a new feeling, which blossoms in his chest and makes his stomach flutter.

Authors note-

Hey! Sorry for any typos or errors, I'm writing this on a limited amount of sleep. Plus all my works are written on my phone, so sometimes I make errors! If you spot anything just point it out to me please- I beg. I wanna make this a series, but it takes the back burner right now because of the ongoing series I already have going. Once I figure out how to use AO3 I plan on posting these there; until then though please enjoy!

Galena, a Rusty Reforger & Pyrite, a Deliberate Deadeye feat. @shroudandsands

In one of worlds fourteenfold, a hyune reforger scales the crags of Alexandria's cliffs and ruins in search of precious electrope, artifacts, and other reusable materials. A scope is trained on him, a voice in his ear, coolly reminding him to watch his footing (as if it needed to be said).

The spotter is an ex-hunter who keeps the levin-cursed monsters and defective sentries off his back with a careful eye and a dead aim. She's also his wife, which makes it that much harder for her to watch him test his scavenging prowess over the deep canyons and crumbling spires that scar the land. Trust him as she does, she has her reasons to be wary.

Galena's methods are unusual. Instead of combing the ground, he climbs. The old kingdom's ruins hide valuable artifacts and electrope caches that would be out of reach for most, but more worrying is his choice not to wear a regulator despite the many obvious dangers. Among the reforgers, it's not wholly unusual for someone to refuse a regulator, but those who know the two hyune know well: it's not a choice made lightly.

———

Deep in the heart of Everkeep, Pyrite stalks the alleys of Solution Nine with a portion of the materials her husband gleaned from the old kingdom. It's how he can offer his support for the organization Pyrite now dedicates her time and talents to.

And an ex-hunter always finds ways to keep herself sharp; sentries vanish, dismantled and sold for parts in True Vue's less reputable markets. Weapons from the manufactories on the lower floors go missing and wind up in rebel hands. Credits grease the palms of the right people for the right intelligence and the doors of high clearance warehouses are left unlocked—by accident, of course.

As an agent for the rebel group Oblivion, the regulator Pyrite wears is a compromise allowing her to take advantage of Everkeep's systems while avoiding suspicion. But for all its conveniences, the regulator is also a grave reminder. Should Galena's hands ever slip, all she'll have of him is the recordings and images hidden away on encrypted data shards—assurance that they'd keep their promise never to forget again*.

———

No mourning, and yet no relief from the aching holes in their memories. All they have is the hints of a loss whose shape they can identify by feeling around its dark edges: an empty room, a closet full of clothes too small for either of them. A name that Pyrite herself chose, always lingering in the back of her mind but slipping through it like a sieve. An image of shade—a face that Galena chases through dreams and wakes up with no recollection of.

Loss enough to take immortality and toss it into a canyon. Pain enough to use that immortality as a weapon against the system that stole from them something so precious it becomes their reason and their resolve. Something that would be worth dismantling a miracle. *OOC Note: This was drafted before the Arcadion raids came out, which answers a critical question I had about the regulator mechanics. A person wearing a regulator will, in fact, remember someone who does not wear one after their death. So that final bit in Pyrite's section is wrong! Oh well.
