Idk if this’ll help anyone or if these are even good… just thought of stuff self shipper could do, I guess.

Anywho, here’s a list of things yo,u as a self shipper, can do for fun.

(This will be added onto with time)

Proship/Comship/Anti-Antis DNI

Play Tomodachi Life, make yourself, your main F/O, and then a bunch of family and friends and see how the shenanigans play out.

Play Sims (my choice is 4, but any one will work), same as before but this time you have mods and can control you and your F/O’s however you please.

Make kandi jewelry for each of your F/O’s, whether it’s a bracelet with their name or just a necklace with a color scheme you think fits them.

Purchase something custom from etsy and/or fiverr. These can be care packages, letters, plushies, art pieces, fanfics, maybe you could find someone who does RP asmrs, and my personal favorites an RP or an annotated book.

Look on youtube for asmrs, whether they’re RP, sleeping beside or those muffled playlist scenarios.

For those of is that are age regressor, make a custom deco paci based on your F/O.

Credits to @myselfshipdiary for this one, make a Pinterest board. They can feature fanart, aesthetic images or heck maybe recipes you would cook for them and memes you would show them.

If you have the skills, or heck even if you don’t (life’s too short, try everything, learn new skills), design something based on them. A dress, a cake, a room, a candy platter, a party, an outfit, a plushie, literally anything!

Make a breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner you think they would like! Maybe if you bring your lunch to work, make a bento for yourself that you would send to work with them.

Go on to your online shopping sites and make wishlists of thing you’d think they would want/like.

Do some research on perfume/cologne, and either track down or commission one you think they’d wear. You can do the same for all necessary toiletries if you’d like to take it a step further.

Play around on spotify (or your music service of choice) and make playlists for various scenarios.

Piggybacking of the last one, find a song that you would make their ringtone and think of what their contact name would be in your phone.

Pick out a ring you think would be the engagement/wedding ring they would give you.

Make paper doll's of you/ your self insert and your f/os) along with attachable paper clothes!

If you have access to a printer and a blank notebook/sketchbook along with some glue, you can make a scrapbook with pictures of your f/o(s)! You can also add drawings you made and anything like stickers, washi tape, etc.

This one is digital, edit a transparent of your f/os) into a selfie of yours to make a couples photo! You can print it out and put it in a frame. Also, Dollar Tree sells frames that you can also paint, put stickers on, anything!

There is an app called Social Dummy, create a social media world with you and all your F/O’s on it!

Make perler bead pixel art of your f/o.

[astro-pioneer]

hello!! can i pls request the sumeru men with a reader who's a confectioner? and like, they can make from cookies to cute bento cakes to super elaborate, detailed, huge cakes.

affectionate confectioner!

he thinks your job makes you even sweeter. 『wanderer, tighnari, cyno, kaveh, al-haitham』

wanderer!

get him out of the kitchen please i beg

he loves you, sure, but he loves inconveniencing you even more

scale? gone. any measuring tool? gone too

since he doesn't enjoy sweets all that much he won't show much interest in consuming most of what you make

seeing you design the cakes, though? amazed

if you somehow annoyed him that day and you're making something small (like cookies) he'd definitely try to mess up a batch just because

if it stressed you out or something he'd lowkey feel bad and "begrudgingly" help out

if you ever make him something that's not as sweet (or a dessert that's meant to be bitter) as your usuals he'd nag you for ages to make it for him

aka he does it whenever he's in your kitchen

can't complete any customer's orders with him around smh

tighnari!

your bento cakes are his favourites but he advertises everything you sell to anyone who shows interest

you gave him one that had cute mushrooms and aranara

wouldn't shut up about it and sometimes orders it whenever he stops by

most of the time he picks something up for collei because sweet girl deserves it

sometimes cyno too but most of the time he allows him to get it himself because he's tired of the jokes

but! whenever he does get something for himself he makes sure to brag to his rangers but in a passive way

he doesn't seem like the biggest sweets guy so other than the bento cake he'd most likely buy cookies once in a while

the last time he bought something for cyno was for his birthday

never again would he do that

collei and him wanted to leave the small hangout they planned because he wouldn't shut up

cyno!

he's your self-appointed taste tester and no you can't stop him

due to his position he sadly can't visit your shop as much as he wants but he makes sure to be there when you're trying something new

when you experimented with jam sandwich cookies he barged into tighnari's room with a container of them

and proceeded to say a horrible joke. and explained it. like always

"what did the blueberry say to the strawberry? 'i can't believe you got us into this jam!' this relates to these because-"

he repeated it at dinner (which included himself, tighnari, collei, and you) before doing three others about the same cookie

tighnari was debating on just foraging for dinner at this point but he knew he wouldn't be safe from the jokes

kaveh!

he still remembers the feeling of the general hunting him down to show him the combination you were nervous about and the jokes he had prepared

but due to his somewhat constant visits some of his coworkers started to check out your shop

he unknowingly became your walking advertisement as well. oh well

dude is all for your extravagant cakes

he breathes architecture and design so seeing the sketches for the client's cake got him like ⚆⚆ ⚆⚆ ⚆⚆

usually he doesn't get involved in your business because that's not his forte but just seeing the plans for an upcoming event had him begging for permission to help

but like how could you say no? one) he's one if not the best structural designer in sumeru and two) he's cute and you love him

turns out the cake was for the celebration of al-haitham's promotion to acting grand sage

biggest disappointment in his life but he got to spend time with you so who cares

but in terms of consumption he chooses more towards your fruit-orientated pastries

like you made this fruit tart special with fresh fruit on top and he bought basically all of them

the same thing happened with a pie you made

it got to the point where you had to decline him from buying any more for the day

al-haitham!

he takes high interest in any scones and simple cookies you make

also anything he can enjoy in the morning with his coffee

enjoys snacking on any extras you bring home for him while reading throughout the day

he doesn't mind the other things you make but he finds them more of a hassle to eat while passing the time so he usually avoids them

whenever he's craving something a little extra he might get a cupcake or bento cake and enjoy it in your shop

also gets a slice whenever he's looking over submitted applications for archived files

he either lures in or away business - it's a struggle for you

there's sometimes some akademiya nerds who wanna be closer figuratively to the scribe and buy a lot before scurrying away when he glances up

then there are people (kaveh) who see him in the corner and immediately leave

he got so annoyed with people (again, kaveh) continuously entering and leaving where it got to the point where he asked to move in the back

One Heart [For The Two Of Us] by curlystrawhat - Rated T

“Who are you?” Zoro asked, because he really has never seen this guy in his life and he’s pretty sure neither Koushirou nor Mihawk know him, so why the fuck was this guy leaving flowers on Kuina’s grave? The blonde bit his lip and took his time to answer. Zoro was getting impatient, he opened his mouth to say something, but the blonde beat him to it. “I’m Sanji.” he said, staring right into his eyes, “Kuina gave me her heart.” or Two boys, one heart connecting them, a meeting by chance, a friendship by choice. Falling in love along the way? Well, that just happened all on its own.

To Have and To Hold by eflo - Rated T

Sanji just woke up from surgery to see some guy in his room.

A Trip Down Memory Lane by Kaiisan (orphan_account) - Rated G

Sanji recognises a familiar face on the train. ((AU based off of the cute couple sitting in front of me on the train a few days ago))

Minutiae by LibbyLune - Rated T

Normally Zoro would hate to find a stranger picnicking at his favorite secret photography spot, but there's something special about this blond chef.

In Lieu of Payment by Harubo - Rated T

Sanji spends an afternoon trying not to ogle the mechanic fixing his furnace. He does not succeed.

Just Need this Love Spiral by three_days_late - Rated T

When beloved Hollywood star Sanji came back from Bora Bora after three weeks of being off the grid, no media, no paparazzi, no contact to anyone, the tabloids went insane. The fact that he came back with a husband was the icing on the cake. The fact that no one had ever even heard of this husband before was the cherry on top. The one question on everyone's mind: Why?

Two Left Feet by Harubo - Rated T

Zoro is forced into taking dance lessons for his sister's wedding. It turns out better than he expected.

Love You Better by 8ball - Rated M

“What about you?” The cook had asked. “Any BDSM or anything?” Zoro had stared blankly at Sanji, trying to remember if BDSM was the name of a band. It sounded like a fighting style, maybe related to MMA. “I thought you practiced savate and kickboxing?” Needless to say, he’s blown his cover pretty quickly. And thus, the list.

Point and Click by modeoheim - Rated M

Sanji Black, Executive Chef and owner of Le Tout Bleu, successfully defends his restaurant and its customers from aggressive paparazzi one evening with style. A video of the fight goes viral, though, and one of the celebrities in the center of the whole mess develops quite the intense—and public—crush.

Grounded by Hazel_Athena - Rated T

Sanji stares up at the screen that lists all inbound and outbound flights, his heart catching in his throat when he spots the little flag that says ‘canceled’ next to his own.

Double Play by auspizien - Rated T

After a horrible car accident a year prior, Sanji finds himself wheelchair bound and a little lost. When his sister forces him to go to a baseball game, he really isn't expecting much from it; until a certain green-haired baseball player makes it his mission disrupt all of Sanji's carefully thought out plans.

Zoro's Boyfriend, Who Lives In Canada by donutsandcoffee - Rated G

Everyone knows Zoro has the perfect boyfriend—tall, blonde, and handsome. He cooks Zoro’s bento every day, fights as well as Zoro does, and has the clearest, bluest eyes mankind has ever seen.

Wildcat by Harubo - Rated T

Captain of the soccer team Sanji Black gets recruited to be a replacement kicker on Thousand Sunny High School’s American football team. The problem? An unfortunate crush on star running back, Zoro Roronoa. Oh, and Sanji has no idea how this sport works.

Steady, As She Goes by auspizien - Rated E

Zoro Roronoa is a retired black-ops agent suffering from PTSD; after moving to a small town and getting married in hopes of leaving that life behind him, a chance meeting with a smarmy, blond paramedic changes all of that. Thus ensues a summer of tempestuous desires, heart-wrenching decisions, and unforeseen espionage. [Modern AU. ZoSan. Slow Burn.]

blue by adietxt - Rated T

Zoro doesn’t see it, until he does. One moment everything seems normal — Sanji meeting him at the back of the gym building, passing Zoro his bento before the Kendo club starts like usual — and then Zoro sees it, the way Sanji stands with a weird slouch on his shoulder, his body leaning to the side, like he’s favoring his left. Zoro always thought the slouching was just an act, a way for the stupid Love Cook to look ‘cool’ and impress the girls in their school, but a different thought crosses his mind for a second. A different, terrible thought.

keep playing that song (hey mister dj) by adietxt - Rated G

Usopp isn’t scared. The stranger might be a tall, burly dude with one eye, two large scars, and muscles that could rival a god’s, but Usopp is not scared. Nope. Sure, the guy could probably crush Usopp’s head if he does so much as flex, and the scars seem to indicate that he’s trained in some kind of deadly martial arts, and even without all those things he’s still big enough to be able to beat Usopp up into a pulp through sheer strength, and — Okay, so Usopp might be a little scared.

DIY Kimbap

One of my favorite things to make for a picnic or bento boxes is Kimbap, also known as Korean Seaweed Rice Rolls. Kimbap is easy to make at home, and you can customize it with any filling you choose. Today we are making a vegetarian recipe, but you can add bulgogi beef, canned tuna, or fish cakes! You would never know that this delicious kimbap has five vegetables!

((This is set in the TYL timeline- before Tsuna died, because... yes. See, I can totally be kind to Dera. Submitting this one a bit early for his birthday. ))

-

Haru has woken up earlier than usual to get breakfast started of some of Dera’s favorites. He wasn’t one to sleep for very long, and he was probably going to want to get right back to work as soon as he woke up—like the workaholic he was. Does she still make ‘desk-chan’ jokes even now? Of course, do you know how much more time he spends with her than his own wife? It’s understandable, given his position and rank. It was something she already accepted ages ago, so she didn’t get angry with it, but she was sometimes disappointed.

He was a busy man, and she did her best to support him. She was setting the table when he walked out of the bedroom. “Good morning, Hayato. Have some breakfast before you even think about getting work done.” If you think she won’t try to lock the door to your office to ensure you eat something first—you’re wrong. “Haru is making all of your favorites today for your birthday. So, you’ll have something to look forward to all day.” She walks back into the kitchen to check back on some things that are still cooking in the kitchen. If he was staying inside all day, then he could enjoy lunch at home. If he had to go out, she could prepare a bento for him.

That was the intent anyways.

After making sure everything was okay, she sits at the dinning table as well. Haru always thought that food tasted better with company, and so she always made it a point to share meals together whenever possible. “Haru hopes you like it. While Haru always puts love in everything she cooks, she put extra love in today,” she giggles. One of Haru’s love languages was to cook meals for people, so she always liked to make something for her loved ones. So, it was obvious that she was putting in a lot of effort to make sure to make him all of his favorites today.

She was sure that the others would like to see him in person today to give him their happy birthday wishes as well, “Haru will give you your gift later tonight. She also plans on preparing a small cake for you.” Of course, a candle will be included. Haru will always insist on the blowing out candles tradition! The gift is something that called in a few favors for to get it complete. There are some perks to knowing people and Gianini was willing to take on the challenge of customizing a watch. She got Bianchi’s input on how to design it since she felt that his older sister understood his aesthetics.

Gianini helped with designing the functionality of the watch, where it could house a small folding utility blade that can be useful in emergency situations. It also had a function where if you pressed on one of the skull motifs, it could record messages. Haru personally found voice memos to be very useful for when she went shopping, so surely he’d find some use for it. He may not need to record a reminder with how good his memory was, but who knows? Maybe he’ll have a use for recording conversations with people.

The final special feature was that there was a button he could push to change the display to show a GPS. With how worried he gets often, she figured it may help him feel at ease to have a way to track where Haru was. The watch could track via GPS where the transmitter was, which was housed in one of the necklaces that Gokudera has given her years ago. It was her favorite one to wear. It would ease him of some worries, and on the off chance she ever gets kidnapped—then he’ll know where she is. Convenient, isn’t it?

“Haru’s excited to give you your gift, so look forward to it~ Happy Birthday, I love you.”

When Hayato woke up he looked at his side, of course, she was already out for the day, well it was a good thing as it gave him time to think. Mom... He enjoyed a few minutes of silence, thinking how much his mother would have enjoyed being there, to celebrate with him.

But as well, as how bad his life turned to be when he figured that she was dead. There was something about his birthday that always made him think, think about how his life turned out to be. How different it was as the years went.

If there was something that was out of expected was... Haru.

She is my light, she is my start.

A small smile appeared on his lips as he thought about Haru, the woman was annoying at first, but she grew on him. He couldn't think of a life without Haru now.

Not because of what she does, but because of the love he feels for her is so pure and so good. He really just wishes her well-being, and nothing else. He gets up as he is pretty sure the woman is there waiting. Mom... I know... You would love her. He keeps smiling and changing and doing things to get ready for the day.

He was not wearing any suit as he just dressed like his normal teen would be, jeans, shirts, and a jacket as well as chains and collars, smiling as he went to where the woman was and talked about breakfast. If there was someone who he wanted to be with all day... It was Haru.

As the storm smiles and holds her from behind in a nice hug, letting his head rest over her head and holding him in his arms. You are going to help me, you see I want to spend the day with a marvelous woman who nagged my whole life about me taking care of myself. Do you know where I can find said Ahoona? As he teases and chuckles about how he phrased it.

You know Haru? Today I want to spend with you and no one else. Sure I know, I know the others won't mind if I did it. After all, what is the best way to spend it other than being with my wife? So how about we just take a really easy day today? Enjoying movies at home and playing games?

And sure gifts would be nice and he would truly appreciate the effort of her to ease his anxiety and worry about where she is with the GPS, but his major gift was just that day, a memory that would never fade in him. Just spending it with the person he loves and cares. With Haru.

Concept: Oikawa gives you a surprise party with just the two of you.

Info:

-Aged up! Time skip! Oikawa x gn! Reader

-fluff

A/n:

-My friend's birthday is coming around the corner and she really likes Oikawa sooooo

-Yes, I will be sharing this with you, Yes, it's still an x reader

Knock, knock, knock!

"Tooru!" You shout outside your shared home.

"You left the door unlocked. I'm coming in!" You say as you prepare yourself one last time before barging in.

'Weird' you say to yourself before turning on the lights and running off to your shared room and locking yourself in the bathroom without a second thought.

You:

Hey. The door was unlocked but the lights were off.

Lights aren't the only thing that's off, no pun intended btw.

But in all seriousness, can you come home ASAP? Please? Thank you baby ❤️

Tooru 💍:

Alright baby, wait for me.

Y/n ⭐💍 called

1 missed call

You:

I heard your phone's ringtone downstairs.

Where the hell are you Oikawa Tooru?

Tooru:

DAMN IT

THOUGHT IT WAS ON MUTE

Anyways– come downstairs baby, mwa! ❤️

Seen 1 minute ago

You put your bag on the desk, and your phone in your pocket before finally making your way downstairs– Only to see that everything is neatly decorated.

There was a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' banner, with plastic roses badly spread around (you can tell it was done under pressure), and a bento cake that has your favorite animal drawn in the middle and your favorite color being its background!

Your favorite thing, though? Your partner, Oikawa who's dressed up nicely and who's face is plastered with nervousness.

Oikawa stood up from his spot on the couch with a bouquet of your favorite flowers, "Ask your questions, lovely."

"Where were you?"

"Crouching down next to the counter hoping you wouldn't investigate there." he said while chuckling.

"The cake? The flowers?" You say as you walk up to him still in a daze about his efforts.

"I drove by this small shop that customizes bento cakes, and the flowers? Somewhere nearby that I forgot" He says with a calm demeanor this time.

"Tooru, I- I don't know how to thank you properly and enough for this!"

"You don't have to."

"But I need to!" You say pulling him in a tight hug.

He just raises his arms before saying, "Hey, Happy birthday, let's just enjoy this night m'kay? Now take the flowers so I can hug you back!"

Round Cakes Dump 🍰

all my rounds this week were a blast!!!

the barbie cake was for one of our store managers & he gave me full creative freedom! so d u h i airbrushed it 😆

i’m getting better at the spiderweb design on these spider-man cakes & they’re honestly some of my fave bc they just turn out so so cute!!

i tried my hand at another unicorn cake & honestly i love this design so much more than the other one, i feel like it’s just so cutesy :)

the ariel cake was interesting!! i had to mix that shade of purple & it didn’t exactly turn out as planned, but i like the way it ended up! defo gonna need some more practice on it, but the customer was happy & i’m proud for it being my first time!

the last cake is a mini “bento” cake! we ran out of chocolate cupcakes to fill the gourmet case so i decided to do some of these cakes (using white cupcakes) to add some variety to the case! i have no idea if they’ve been selling yet, bc i just did them yesterday (and i’m off today) but i can’t wait to see!!

also i may upload a video of me making a yellow rose bento cake, if i can get the editing down!!

-- THE PACKAGE THAT Furina receives is… slightly strange, to put it one way. Though the paper that covers the box - a simple royal blue paper, thin on its own but achieving thickness through its many layers - is placed there with surgical care, it is littered in creases that suggest it has been folded and unfolded many a time.

And, well, of course Furina knows it is for Furina because the writing scrawled on top says as much, scripted in silver ink that, too, has been written down with precision. ‘To Furina’.

When opened, the package seems to in fact be a bento box, a container found most often in Inazuma. In its various compartments are not food, however- well, alright. There is food in one of them, the largest: a somewhat smushed rollcake, stuffed with cream and slices of amakumo. In efforts to contain said cream, it has been wrapped in a waxy film, though it has not entirely succeeded in preventing some stickiness from oozing out onto the other items in the box.

These other items being, namely, a rather elaborate sensu fan, encrusted with a pearl at its hilt as it is stuffed into the thin compartment where chopsticks would normally be found. When unfolded, it reveals a rather artistic depiction of waves crashing upon the shore, formed in thick and purposeful ink strokes on a pale blue background.

The rest of the compartments seem to be filled with a variety of trinkets, namely fitting into the category of ‘blue’ and ‘Sumeran’ in one way or another. There are pressed bookmarks made from kalpalata lotus blossoms, jewelry from crystalized rukkhashava mushrooms.

When the rollcake has been eaten, as you lick off your fingers, you find a small square note at the bottom of the box. It reads simply: ‘You’d do well to have more practical tastes’.

But if your gift-giver was really so loathe to your requests then, well, why go through all the effort?

first, she had thought — who so ungratefully left their discarded wrapping box littered on her doorstep? the season for gifts and wintry cheer had come, alighting the streets of the court of fontaine in scintillating array, accompanied by the neverending crush of bodies big and small, rushed and joyous alike. but it also meant more and more commotion, more things left about, more carelessness. the gardes — human, meka, and melusine — had all had their hands full since the first snowfall; she certainly didn't envy them.

but if she had never thought to curiously afford the package a second glance, drawn in by its rich blue, she would have left it behind altogether, and never realized it was in fact right where it was intended to be.

' to furina '.

at the careful stencil of her name, her heart leaps. first with surprise; then, more childishly, with delight.

for this must be her gift from the guild! her reward and return for her own painstaking endeavor some days ago, for the scolding she'd endured from chevalmarin in overspending on the month's budget in pursuit of the perfect custom-crafted artisanal piece.

she snatches the box up in her arms ( pleased to find it pleasantly weighty ) and vanishes into her apartment in a flutter of taffeta, eyes alight with hope and expectation.

( for though furina, the hydro archon, regina of waters, kindreds, peoples, and laws had received far too many gifts in her time to be counted, furina, the girl who had recently retired from the stage, had never once. and perhaps some part of her had presumed that one did not receive such gifts anymore once they had stepped down from aweing the crowd. )

unpackaging the beautifully embroidered tin unveils an array of colorful trappings, such that she tucks a girlish gasp audibly in one gloved hand, eyes hardly knowing where to land.

the miniature fan? the elegant jeweled necklace?

the insidiously tempting roll cake? ( —she had already had two slices of plum galette this morning; surely she would be scolded if she had more; and yet this is the season of celebration, isn't it? )

yes, it's true some of it had gotten sticky, no doubt being bumped around on the way here, and she would have liked for the packager to take greater care with its contents in light of this, or perhaps have marked the parcel as fragile. but perhaps such carelessness, to which she would lend more heart in some different circumstance, could be let go this time. after all, a gift was a gift to the young lady seldom so blessed, and that alone is enough.

some hours later, once frosting has been licked from fingertips and the amakumo's vibrant tart has faded from her tongue, she does not forget her etiquette.

to my gracious gifter, rather than my possessing more practical tastes, it could be said that your ability to meet even the most impractical of wishes speaks to your kindness, diligence, and above all your savoir faire. see this then as bounty on both our parts, for your attention has not gone unnoticed nor unrewarded. i have here attached a selection of pâte de fruits of good quality, not merely the kind obtainable from any streetside booth. you will find the bold flavors of your roll cake complemented well by the subtle, gentler sweetness of the pear and black fig. a heartfelt thanks once again, furina de fontaine

Please friend elaborate on the "Baker! Nanami" thoughts 🛐

I GOT U STAR DW

Nanami is ABSOLOUTELY the kinda guy who has a secret inspo board of a cottage in the woods by a river where he wants to retire (ideally as soon as possible lol). To do so he needs money. But he hates capitalism, and hates his office job.

SO what does he like? Baked goods.

One day he comes into the little bakery by his house, a quaint little thing that's tucked away in a hidden street corner, the quiet lull being the most alluring part of it all to Nanami.

He takes one look at the 'Now Hiring!' sign behind the cashier and nods.

'What's that about?' he asks and the cashier sheepishly explains they're very understaffed, so they're desperately looking for people to come into any position-bakers, cashiers, cleaners, anything.

And Nanami-poor dude's phone has been buzzing nonstop since before he even stepped foot into the shop, messages from his work asking if he can work overtime (for the nth time in a row), messages from his boss delegating more and more work to him, until...

He nods to the flyer again.

'I'm interested. When can we do an interview?'

And anyway, that's the story of how Nanami starts to work at a bakery.

Initially he's just a cashier, and you'd think this man would be all stoic and 'What can I help you with today 😐'-esque, but once you remove the stress of being a salaryman at a job he hates the guy is surprisingly...cheery?

He shows genuine care towards his work, loves when people ask him what he recommends, and working in an enviroment where the scent of freshly baked bread is abundant can be more calming to the nerves than you'd think.

Eventually he starts learning from the bakers whilst working there, takes some afternoon classes to learn the basics of baking-he's a good cook, for sure, Gojo's always praising his bento boxes after all, but he's still a novice when it comes to baking.

His first quiche comes out looking like the world's most deflated balloon, and he's burnt countless cakes until figuring out the techniques involved in it all.

Still, given a year or two, he slowly starts to work both the front of the store and oftentimes the back, and sure, his hands are more calloused now, flour somehow always finding a way to cling to his shirts, but...he wouldn't exchange this feeling for anything in the world.

If you combine this to the haikyuu-jjk headcanons from the other day, then I reckon the kids oftentimes come over after school to get muffins and desserts of the like (Gojo is almost always there too, supposedly to stop them from eating too many sweets given they're all athletes-yet he somehow never has the heart to chastise them, buying them more snacks instead).

Nanami pretends to hate the way the store's crowded with teens every afternoon, but seeing the way they bicker and laugh reminds him too much of his own youth to remain mad. Plus, they're paying customers, aren't they?

Anyway just. Baker Nanami man. I love this soft man SO MUCH!!!

So the school continued and Gyomei and his colleagues and friends returned back to work. You had also found yourself a job after graduation, though it wasn't anything as fancy or useful as your lover's job as a teacher.

No, you were just a basic worker in this convenience store called Fujikasane Mart near the academy.

Like you said, it wasn't anything glamorous but otherwise, it was a pretty good job. You were an old and familiar customer and known for being polite and kind so the owner happily hired you.

It was Friday morning and you were filling shelves when the front door peeped, letting you know that a customer had entered the store. You immediately put everything down and rushed to the register but then you noticed who your customer was and you stopped.

"Oh, sir Tomioka!" You smiled as the familiar PE teacher stepped into the store. The man glanced at you and nodded, acknowledging you, "Young lady."

You were excited as you went behind the counter and waited for your old teacher to pick up his stuff and make his way to the counter.

"Your usual raisin bread, salmon onigiri, ume onigiri, and tea?" You asked with a happy smile and he nodded quietly, "Yes."

"Alright, that would be the usual 561 yen!" You said as you scanned all his items and the man quietly took out his card and paid while you put all his stuff into a small plastic bag. Once the machine peeped you handed the bag to your former teacher, "Here you go, sir!"

"Thank you," The teacher thanked you and he was about to leave, but you quickly called after him, "Actually, sir Tomioka, I was kinda waiting for you today… Could you do me a favor?"

"I don't mind…" Tomioka nodded, "What is it?"

"Could you take this to Himejima?" You asked as you bent down and picked a bento box from behind the counter, "I made this box for him, but I had a shift today so I couldn't bring it to him and I was hoping that you could take it to him since you come here every morning?"

"Hm," The man nodded as he took the box, "I'll do it."

"Oh, thank you so much! I owe you one, sir!" You smiled happily and the PE teacher went on his way to school. He didn't give the box to your partner until lunchtime rolled and everyone was enjoying their lunches, Gyomei included.

"Himejima, there's a package for you." Gyomei heard Tomioka, his colleague say and he turned to address him, "My, what is it?"

"Young lady sent these to you." The PE teacher said as he placed a bento box into the huge Civics teacher's hands. Hearing that you had sent him something made Gyomei's heart skip a beat.

Carefully, he opened the box and the scent of chocolate hit his nose. He gently felt around and felt that you had packed some small balls for him with sticks on them.

"Tomioka, if I may ask, can you describe what I got?" Gyomei asked and the PE teacher took one look at the box's content, "Looks like she made you cake pops."

"Cake pops?" The huge teacher was slightly confused and his friend nodded, "Yes, like little cakes as lollipops."

"She always knows how to surprise me…" Gyomei murmured as tears rose to his eyes and he carefully picked one stick and popped a small cake ball into his mouth.

Tears streamed down his face and he munched the delicious cake and his reaction didn't go unnoticed by other teachers.

"Oi, did you get something sweet from your girlfriend Himejima?" Tengen asked as he made his way to his colleague who nodded as he swallowed the cake, "She always tried to surprise me."

"What a lovely lady you have," The music teacher Kyogai said and Gyomei couldn't agree more. After lunch, he felt happier than before the said lunch, and the day passed quickly with something sweet in his stomach.

Once the classes ended and students left the school grounds one by one, he went to the teacher's lounge to finish his work so he wouldn't have to bring so much work back home with him. Not that he usually minded, but it was your and his date night and he wanted to be able to focus purely on you.

So when Gyomei finally was done with his paperwork, he packed his stuff and left the school grounds, wishing his colleagues a nice day and a good weekend as he left. It didn't take him long to get to your workplace and the little peeping let you know that someone had arrived.

"Welcome!" You called as you peeked at the entrance from between the shelves but then you noticed that you didn't have just a regular customer but your beloved Gyomei.

"Darling!" You absolutely beamed in joy as you saw your partner step into the store. He had to bend down a little so he wouldn't hit his head on the doorway, but as soon as he was inside you rushed to greet him. Gyomei could hear your little steps, followed by you hugging him.

"It's so nice to see you!" You said happily and your happiness was contagious.

"I'm happy to see you also." He said, even if he couldn't see, but it was the saying okay? You squeezed him fondly before letting go and taking a step back.

"Are you already done with work?" You asked because usually it was you who would wait for Gyomei by the school gates, but it appeared that he had been quick with his work and had come to pick you up instead.

"Yes, I finished early so we could spend time together." Gyomei admitted and you smiled happily, "Alright, I was just emptying these boxes and then I'm off the clock!"

"I understand, I'll wait for you." He nodded and you smiled as you quickly emptied the boxes and put the products in the boxes in their rightful places on the shelf. Just as you were done, your co-worker came to let you go and enjoy your weekend.

After quickly changing in the backroom, you left your uniform there and came out in this pretty dress as you and Gyomei were going to enjoy some time together.

"I'm done, darling!" You said happily as you walked to your partner and took his hand in yours, giving it a reassuring squeeze, which Gyomei happily returned, "What would you like to do, my beloved?"

"Well, you are on my to-do list?" You grinned mischievously as your darling Gyomei blushed, "My beloved…"

"He he, just kidding!" You smiled, or at least you appeared like that, but the man's sharp ears could tell by the tone of your voice that you were actually blushing also.

You were honestly so cute, trying to act all confident and flirty when you were in fact just as inexperienced as he was.

Yes, you and Gyomei were still virgins both mind and body. Kissing each other was the most you had ever done before, but you were so young and Gyomei was your first love so you hadn't had partners before him. Heck, he was even your long-awaited first kiss!

As for Gyomei, he was… Intimidating so people lacked the courage to try and court him and he had never actually felt so fond of anyone before you came into the picture with your love confessions.

The two of you had dated for a couple of months already and all you had done was share those sweet and innocent little kisses…

"Darling, today…"

Well, today you were going to take things further than just pecks and kisses!

"I was thinking that I, or, well, uh, we could maybe or perhaps, uh…!"

Only if you could bring yourself to say what you wanted properly…!

Despite your sad and royally screwed attempt to ask Gyomei to take your relationship to the next level, he seemed to understand what you were trying to say.

"I would… I would love to try that with you," He said much to your shock. No really, your eyes and mouth were wide open in shock as your face turned crimson as you registered his words. He wanted the same as you wanted?

You were both filled with happiness and anxiety. J- just how far would the two of you go?! You felt like your heart could burst with all these feelings.

"My beloved?" Gyomei gently said your name and you flinched as you snapped out of your panic-filled mind.

Gyomei was there for you, so what reason did you have to panic about? He loved you and you loved him and you wanted him to know it and the best way to show it was to do it!

"I- Ah!" You swallowed, "I- is your place alright? Since my apartment is pretty small?"

"Yes." Gyomei nodded, "My place is alright."

"Th-then!" You nodded as you grabbed his hand in yours and you started to lead him towards his own home, "Let's go!"
