Summary: When Tokoyami overhears Ichijiku singing to the stars, he decides to take a chance asking her a serious question.

Ichijiku (Tigress)

The full moon stretches toward the sky as my friends laugh with each other on the beachfront. I grin at their joy and continue my stroll by the ocean waves as sand squishes between my toes.

Stars wink down at me as I attempt to pick out their stories, sifting through the twinkling lights with keen eyes until they paint a picture of star-crossed lovers and tyrannical kings. My feet wander of their own accord and I shove my hands in my pockets as the autumn wind raises goosebumps on my skin. Soon, winter will dance across our toes with snowflakes and I’ll go from a stroll on the beach to a pair of ice skates on a frozen pond. 

A smile tickles my lips as anticipation for snow and Christmas floods me down to the tips of my toes. Christmas makes me think of snow makes me think of falling flakes makes me think of a song from my favorite Disney movie.

I pause in my journey and look around to make sure I’m alone. I sit in the sand and when the coast seems clear my eyes close as sweet notes serenade the seagulls and sea life.

“Silent as the snowflake in the night,

holy is the spirit of this night.

All the world is calm and peaceful,

all the world is bright and joyful…” 

I hum the rest as I rest my chin on my knees and watch the shimmering bioluminescence of fascinating creatures at sea splash into the ocean, wave after wave. Lapping water harmonizes with the refrain as the song ends and I’m left with the soothing background noise of nature.

Daydreams of my feathered classmate dancing with me in moonlight skirts my mind until his voice caresses my ear, no longer a fantasy. 

“You sound like a songbird.” His deep voice whispers.

I gasp and jolt to my feet, eyes snapping open as a blush paints my cheeks. 

“T-Tokoyami! H-Hi! Sorry. Hi. I didn’t hear you.” I sputter, before his comment registers and my cheeks turn a shade darker. “Oh, um, thank you? It scares me to sing in front of strangers.” 

“My apologies, Songbird,” He grins and gives a bow of his head as Dark Shadow squawks and swoops over to nuzzle me. “Your sweet singing helped me soothe Dark Shadow.”

“Oh! That’s right,” I stroke the foggy mass of Dark Shadow’s face. “You get rowdy at night, don’t you, my cloudy companion?”

A sad chirp whistles past Dark Shadow’s nostrils but he tips his head into my palm. I rub my thumb over the cool, momentarily tangible clouds of his cheek.

“You…” Tokoyami begins, but when I meet his eyes he looks away and shuffles the sand with his feet. A moment passes before he looks back up at me. “Would you like to go to the apple orchard with me this weekend?”

I stop petting Dark Shadow as it’s my turn to stare at my feet.

“Y-Yeah. I would like that.” I answer before I can chicken out. Maybe I should clarify what he means by that. What if he just wants to go because we’re friends? “Are we going as friends?” 

“If you’d like,” Tokoyami’s feathers bristle against his head for a moment. He takes a shaky step toward me. “However, I was hoping you’d go with me as my date?” 

“Really?” My head whips up, eyes bright with enthusiasm. I swallow and play with my hair to calm down and not look so desperate. “I mean, I’d like that. I was hoping that’s what you meant.” 

Awkward silence simmers between us until Dark Shadow drapes around us, pulling me into a solid, warm chest. I look up and Tokoyami nuzzles his cheek against mine.

“Will you sing for us again?” He asks.

“Of course.”

After a few refrains of my favorite lullabies, I yawn and rest my head against his chest. But my eyes fly open when he sweeps me into his arms. 

“Ah!” My arms squeeze his neck as I regain my bearings. “What are you doing?”

“Carrying you back to your house, if you’ll allow me.” He coos.

“I don’t mind, but I know I’m heavy. Are you sure?” I barely breathe, as if any exhale of oxygen will crush him beneath me.

“I’m sure.”

He sets me down when we reach the door, for which I’m grateful. If Naomi caught me walking in at this hour, she’d ground me for life.

“Thank you for this evening.” I whisper, head whipping around every few moments as I listen for my live-in nanny. “I hope you’ll join me again sometime?”

“I’d be delighted.” He nods.

And the stars giggle above as I stand on my tip-toes and kiss his cheek.

Thank you for your time!

MHA BOYS - reactions +headcannons

REACTING TO GETTING A CALL THAT YOU WERE INJURED!

!Aged up characters! Readers 16+ please!

Should I start writing for the girls in UA? WARNING, ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE, so I apologize for any mistakes!

(I’m thinking about writing about some U.A teachers, let me know who you want to be written, and any kind of theme!)

Iida Tenya-

THE PACER?

THIS. MAN. The second he gets the call that you are hurt, whether it was while you were on hero duty or stuck as an innocent bystander, he’s right by your side holding your hand. Now, Iida is a very work involved person, so when he called his assistant to block his work hours for the next 42 hours, they were really surprised. But he’ll be at your beck n call, I mean, really this man will get you anything you want. You don’t even have to ask! Flowers, your favorite drink + snacks, he’ll also make sure you get a good hospital room. He’s also the type to pace the floor, with a book in his hand. (Make sure you answer all his ‘I love you’s’ because on the inside this man is panicking..)

Monoma Neito-

!THE YELLER!

As we ALL know, Monoma is very self involved so when he hears that you, his s/o, his love, his everything is hurt, he’ll try his best to help you. He would cancel or leave his hero shift for that day, wait for your health status, then decide if he’ll need to take anymore days off. But he try’s really hard to make you comfortable, and he tries to put himself in your position. He’s definitely the type to yell at your side kicks ( if you were a hero) or yell at the “hero” that was on call when the incident had happened. This man is definitely stressing!

Shinsou Hitoshi-

!THE CHAIR SITTER! (hehe..)

BOYYY. MM MM. I definitely feel like he’d fall asleep, and accidentally leave his phone somewhere, so while he was searching for it, one of the big tvs would be broadcasting an incident that occurred. And while the news agent was releasing who was hurt, your name was called out he would absolutely panic. Like I tell you he’d start running to every hospital, and med-tec center just to find you. But once he sees the condition you’re in his ‘dad mode’ would kick in. And he would remember all the talks Eri’s therapist gave him about staying calm when bad things happen. Definitely goes to the bathroom and stares at himself in the mirror. Kind of like a, embracing the situation at hand, type of thing. He’d sit by your side for as long as it takes to make sure you’re okay..

Kirishima Eijiro-

THE RUNNER

This man is a big gigantic teddy bear. He may seem intimidating to villains but all his fans know he’s a loving individual. So, when he was at a meet and greet and one of his fans started to yell at him “RED RIOT, RED RIOT, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT Y/N AND THE MAJOR INCIDENT?” He would immediately place his hands in a low-position, indicating to his crazed fans to please be quiet. It immediately became silent as he asked that person to repeat what they had said. The person repeated “Y/N? THEY WERE INJURED IN THAT INCIDENT ABOUT 4 MINUTES AGO!” everyone gasped, I mean they all love you two together so hearing that was a shock. After this he immediately drove to the local hospital, calling his gruffy pomeranian friend crying. Safe to say the second they allowed this man in your room he was all over you, showering you with love..

Tamaki Amajiki-

‘SOFT’ JITTERS

This boy is so baby coded, the second he heard y/n, his lover, was injured he immediately got in contact with the people that were with you. Suddenly all of his shaky-voice + body movements were eliminated. He was trying to hold things together once he heard how sever the incident was. And he would most likely call over his close friend Mirio. He, and Tamaki would stay over in your room, ordering food and chatting. Anything to help his best friend and his S/o. Mirio would also make sure the paparazzi were contained and away from the room. 

Mirio Togata-

THE NEGOTIATOR

Mirio is definitely the kind to pray. To whom? he doesn’t know. Whether it’s to the gods or to his ancestors. He’s known to be the person that cheers everyone up, including his friends, during stressful situations. However, once it comes to you, his walls break immediately. He needs to know you’re okay, he needs to hold your hand, telling you in a soft voice that ‘everything will be okay’. But the hospital staff workers must refuse any visitors, they really all feel bad for him, and YOU but you would have been really injured. He even tries to pull the ‘I’m the number 5 top hero” but once that doesn’t work he’ll definitely panic. (he always feels bad bringing up his ratings) - he was just really worried. but once your parents grant his access he’s all up in your grill, making sure you know he loves you with all his heart.

Denki Kaminari-

THE SHAKER

He’s all shaking when he hears you’re hurt, just like Tamaki Amajiki! But really he’d be in the waiting room, when a nurse comes out telling him he can come into the room. And once you tell him everything that had happened he’d immediately be on the phone calling people to deal with the situation. He’s definitely the type of person to jump into the bed with you and hop under the scratchy covers and crack jokes to make you laugh, in reality, hearing your laugh helps his anxiety.

Bakugou Katsuki-

(should I write a one-shot about this?)

‘ACTION’

MAN. MAN. MAN. He’d be forced by his publicist to dress into a tux and join Pro Hero Deku, for a convention. Of course, he and Izuku are close now but he’s getting agitated with all the flirty questions, flirty touching, and tightness of his dress shirt. He just can’t wait to come home to you. That being said, when a Secret Service agent comes to whisper that Y/N has been attacked protecting a child, he stands up so fast he also most flips the table. Luckily, Izuku caught it. He immediately had a cab called, half way in the process of loosening his tie, and taking off his suit jacket is when you called him. Telling him everything was okay but you were injured and trapped where you were. You had made him grit out a promise from a clenched jaw, that he would save the child first and not you. He made sure to bust into action, and placing you in the best hospital known to man.

Izuku Midoriya-

THE PUSHER

Izuku would most likely be on work hours when he caught news of you being hurt, and he would immediately stop everything. You’re his e. v. e. r. y. t. h. i. n. g. Like dead ass, he would be jumping building from building searching, and feeling for you. He’s immediately calling his publicists, asking them to make sure the media isn’t as obsessed with the incident at hand. When he leaves the hospital to get your favorite foods all media lines come in and surround him, asking him questions. He would repeat ‘Not comments at this time’ and ‘No answers at this moment’. He made sure he could take you home, creating a safe spot for you to have an “at home” hospital room. Man… he gets so jittery..

Tokoyami Fumikage-

THE YELL-STRESSOR

As he became a high end hero, he controlled dark shadow extremely well. There had been no slip-ups in 6 years. Well, that was until he got the message that you had been severely wounded, and you had just finished surgery headed to your room. Let’s just say he was livid, and so was dark shadow. How could they not contact before hand, he could have supported you, his love. But now, he can only assure you he’s there? You mean after the fact? When he arrived at the hospital he started to yell at the doctor, including his assistant for being incompetent. He’s usually quiet and keeps his words on the down-low, but after seeing you, he’ll definitely tear up. I’m sure dark shadow comes out himself to lay over you and sulk. (he loves you soo so so sooo much)

YOU GUYS!!! I really want to write a one shot on the Bakugou one, but I feel like it’s embarrassing if nobody requests it. I don’t know, anyways should I? Let me know. As always don’t be afraid to ask or give suggestions for whatever character in MHA you want.

(I’m thinking about writing about some U.A teachers, let me know who you want to be written, and any kind of theme!)

Also, I completely forgot my try, and tries. IM SORRY. Please correct that but at one point I just started to wing it.

Anywho!

-Onie out!

[momentomori24]

I can't get over how Shadow needed Rouge bribing him with a fucking spaceship to reluctantly attend Sonic's birthday party, but for Amy's birthday he not only went willingly but got all decked out in a costume, played along with the murder mystery game, went through lengths to get her tickets to her favourite band as a surprise present and agreed to go to the concert with her afterwards even tho he doesn't listen to their music to boot. Either Amy is a different kind of special or Sonic is just a different kind of "not worth it" lmao

Ok, this blew up more than expected so while y'all are here please consider helping out these guys!
