asking the hashiras to braid their hair for the first time part 2
Tumblr media
- you're the newest hashira and you try to befriend everyone by asking the hashiras to braid their hair ft: giyuu, sanemi, tengen cw: just (platonic) fluff a/n: so sorry it took time i was busy the past week ;-; also thanks for the love on part 1 i hope you enjoy this one too! <3
part 1
Tumblr media
Giyuu
"why do you want to braid my hair"
guy doesn't admit it but he's giggling and kicking from happiness on the inside
he's glad when you said the reason why you want to braid his hair was to befriend him
cause that doesn't happen often
he's very awkward and nervous about it
he'd sit upright and stiff like a bonsai
dude relax i won't cut your hair at least not today
his hair may look spiky but it's actually not that bad, it's got some tangles but soft
you'll try to talk to him but his response are so short and found it hard answering some questions
you figured it's just because he's shy and introverted to you decide to just ask him yes or no questions
he appreciated that you understood how he felt and the way you respect him by skipping to another topic when he does want to answer a question
after the braiding session he asked you one question that surprised you a bit
"what's your favorite food?"
confused, but you answer him anyway
out of all questions he could ask why did he choose to ask you that
"so we could get along"
he said that in a tiny voice and immediately left without looking
you found that very endearing and thought that it might be his way of befriending someone
next time you met, he definitely brought you your favorite food
he'd stand in front of you with the food almost shoved into your face and he's like "here 🧍🏻‍♂️"
Sanemi
‌"why tf would i let you braid my hair?"
‌would decline you for weeks but you still persist on doing it
‌after some time he'd finally give in telling you how you're so stubborn and annoying
‌but deep inside it's because he's kinda jealous of how you get along with the others
‌he doesn't like the fact that after every hashira meeting, everyone would go home with braided hair except for him (ik their meetings are like twice a year but ignore that)
‌you cannot tell me this guy doesnt use gel to keep his hair spiky
‌at first you were unsure if you'd comb his hair bcs he might get mad but he'd notice your hesitation and would hand it to you himself
‌surprisingly patient
‌he'd sit there with his palm resting on his chin
‌but if you try and start a conversation he'll go "shut up and finish what you're doing"
ok 🧍🏻
so you two sit there in awkward silence (at least for you it was)
some minutes passed, you notice a dog approach sanemi
where did that dog come from
you asked him if it was his, he answered you (to your surprise) and said it wasn't and he just feeds it whenever he can
you leg out an "aww that's cute" and dude got flustered
"sHUT UP! ARE YOU DONE YET? I'M LEAVING"
no you were not. you were just about to tie it
so you tried to pull him back down
but you yanked his hair a bit harder than it should be which caused him to fall butt first
"i am so dead" you thought to yourself
you quickly tied his braided hair and he marched off with steam coming out of his ear
expect him trying to get back to you the next time you meet
Tengen
‌"i'd like to believe i've got the best hair among all the hashiras. so you may braid my hair. but be sure to make it flashy!"
‌y'all know how steve harrington from stranger things have a secret hairspray for his hair? tengen has something like that as well.
‌his hair is have so much volume and soft and bouncy
‌he's such a narcissist tho
‌like the guy's god complex is huuuuge
thinks you're doing this as a service because he's some kind of god
‌he'd talk about his flashy lifestyle, how he takes care of his hair, his skin, how he's got three wives, everything
‌"you've got three wives?!"
‌not that he doesn't seem to be the type to have more than one spouse, it's just the first time you met someone like that
‌he would boast about them and talk about how pretty, sexy, and flamboyantly skilled fighters they all are
‌would constantly ask "are you done yet?" not because he's impatient but bcs he's excited to see what you did
‌like sIR CAN YOU NOT RUSH
is the type to use a mirror to look at how you're doing with his hair
after minutes you finally finished braiding
guy was so amazed he asked you to be his official hairstylist
"yOU SHOULD BE MY PERSONAL HAIRSTYLIST! KEEP MY HAIR LOOKING FLASHY ALL THE TIME"
he told you that he'll introduce you to his wives so you could braid their hairs too
so he did. literally the next day he invited you to his place
the girls were so nice to you and told you how much they liked tengen's hair when he went home
suma immediately asked you to do her hair
the four of you ended up forming a circle braiding each other's hair

Gojo Satoru general headcanons
Let's get one thing clear: this man is absolutely chaotic. He is always full of energy. His energy levels never reach below 50%. He is loud and proud, always running, and never takes a minute to relax.
Do not give him Monster. Shoko did that once and it took her forever to get him off the ceiling. Also, avoid caffeine. Shoko replaces his normal coffee with decaf and he still hasn't noticed the difference. Keep it that way.
He was the class clown when he was younger. He wasn't exactly a trouble maker, but he may as well be. I cannot word that sentence and I am sorry. Next.
All of his teachers assumed he never listened in class, so they always called in him when they thought he wasn't paying attention. It still shocked them every time he rattled off the correct answer.
Not only did he answer the question correctly, but he could also explain his reasoning behind the answer, and if it was multiple choice, explain why the other answers were wrong. 
This tall man child would march up to the board and absolutely fill it to the brim with work, turn around, drop the chalk-like a mic drop and walk back to his desk with the smuggest look on his face.
That doesn't mean he did the work tho
Idk how schools in japan work but we all know schools in America only care about the amount of work you do and not what you actually know so we'll use that for the sake of the headcanon: he had straight D's bc he never turned in his work
Despite not doing the work snd goofing off, teachers actually really liked him
A lot of people liked him and he was super popular, but he still felt alone
Fake friends, you know how that works, he didn't meet any real friends until he became a shaman
Clean freak. This dude actually makes his bed. He scrubs his bathroom twice a week. His desk can get cluttered but he straightens up once a week. He's not exactly a germaphobe because
He cannot respect your personal space and that's actually canon but let me take it a step further 
He's a slapper. Especially when he laughs. It doesn't hurt, it's playful dw. He hugs you from behind especially when he's cold. He picks you up and carries you around. He will grab your wrist, arm, or hand and lead you around even if you're following him. He lays his legs across you or lays across your lap. Puts his head on your shoulder. Platonic cuddling between friends is mandatory. He's just so hands-on it's ridiculous.
Unless you explicitly tell him you're uncomfortable he won't stop
Don't worry, if you aren't in that type of relationship, your no-no square is safe. Except, if you seem chill, he will slap your ass regardless of friendship status. His ass is also slappable. You can't tell me Geto and Gojo didn't run around slapping each other asses, okay
He was weird and scrawny as a child. He didn't start beefing out until he started training to be a shaman and he's still kinda smaller than most beefy boys
He can pick you up and throw you around easily. He carried around a 170 pound Yuji like a sack of potatoes and can easily carry around three times that weight
It's amazing he's so tiny because you remember 2014 Shane Dawson making all of those wack ass desserts that was just s pile of chaos wrapped in chocolate?
He can eat every last bite of one of those monstrosities without getting a stomach ache, gaining weight, or dying basically
He knows bc Yuji dared him to do it
He has really cold hands and feet
He sounds old. Let me elaborate. He's constantly cracking his joints. They also creak when he moves. He complains about body pains like he's 80 y/o
He also shares wisdom with the kids as if he's actually 80 y/o
It's irrelevant advice that doesn't make sense but is also useful. Megumi can't count the number of times he's asked Gojo for feedback on his technique but had been told to remember to chew 40 times or never go to bed angry
Starts off sentences with "now son" and "when I was your age"
He uses his blindfold as a headband when he wants his hair out of his face. He also uses headbands as... Headbands... When he wants to wear sunglasses but get his hair out of his face
He owns so many pairs of sunglasses but he always wears the same pair
He's only bought a handful of them himself, most of them are gifts
No one knows what to get him for Christmas or his birthday bc he has everything, so they resort to sunglasses
His favorite pair is a pair that Shoko and Geto bought him as a gag. He thought they were dead serious, though, so he wore them around for a month
They were heart-shaped, rose-tinted glasses
Can you believe this man doesn't use any gel or anything to keep his hair spiky with the blindfold on? It just naturally defies gravity when the blindfold is on
Tell this man he's pretty because he already knows. He's narcissistic but not the cringy kind
Photogenic as hell. Takes great pictures from any angle. 
He gives everyone a different story as to why he covers his eyes. Sometimes he says it's because his eyes are too pretty and are a distraction. Sometimes he says it's because the sunglasses/bandages/blindfold look cooler than his eyes. Sometimes he says it's to protect the six eyes from seeing things he doesn't want to see. The world may never know
He's tried covering his whole face before, but he thinks he's too pretty for that. He at least wants one of his many amazing features to be shown at all times.
So about his driver's license;
He knows how to drive. He can be a good driver. When he wants to be. He just doesn't have a driver's license.
Now he TELLS people he just never got around to getting one, however, there's a rumor he lost it due to too many parking tickets
It's amazing the only tickets he's ever gotten have been from that and once he got caught without a seatbelt; he would have gotten out of that one if he hadn't been flirting with the police officer so bad
This doesn't stop Gojo from driving places though
He steals Ijichi's car a LOT and Ijichi DOESN'T KNOW HOW like??? The windows are never broken and it doesn't look hotwired-
Gojo has a key
You're not even supposed to be able to duplicate car keys but Gojo did 
Also; none of the first-year trio knows he doesn't have a driver's license, though that much should be painfully obvious
He whips around corners, speeds up at yellow lights, goes "watch this" and does a donut, it's just a mess
The poor students have to sit in the backseat too. Just imagine Megumi with all three seatbelts around him like that one meme.
He thrives off of Nobara and Yuji screaming from the backseat, and he can see Megumi being smooshed because he thought the middle seat was the safest through the rearview mirror
Which he doesn't even need because of the six eyes
Despite being such a reckless driver, he knows when danger will happen, so he's never once gotten in a wreck
He blasts the radio, which makes up for the driving.
Has a habit of getting in a car and ending up in the McDonalds drive-thru
Steals other people's fries and keeps the fullest one for himself.
He was rebellious as a kid and teenager, but hey, at least his juvie record is sealed 
He's been detained and in the back of a cop car many times, but the reason was never really bad enough for him to be arrested. Mostly he's just being mouthy. And the time he got caught spray painting on the side of a building. And that one time he and Getou hopped the fence to get into the local pool. And that other time-
It got worse after Getou wasn't around to get him out of trouble. Suddenly, breaking the rules wasn't fun anymore and he mellowed out. 
Tried alcohol and cigarettes before he was legal. Decided neither was his thing, however, he did start drinking occasionally when he was legal.
He's a fucking chaotic drunk. Oh my god he's absolutely feral
Most bars in the vicinity know him by name and they sigh whenever he walks in
Shoko is his emergency contact. She hates it
Shoko has to drag drunk Gojo home at least twice a month and is not happy about it
Once she left him in an alley. He made it home okay so she guesses it's fine
Once he got so drunk he spilled beer on his sock. The thought the fastest way to dry them was by sticking them in the microwave. Forgot about it until someone asked, "Who the fuck is cooking socks???"
I feel it important he was in the break room of the local grocery store and no one knows how he got there
As he was escorted out he stole a grocery cart and rode away in it while singing Don't Threaten Me (With A Good Time) by Panic! At The Disco
He has no alcohol tolerance at all what so ever
He will literally just stare at you and giggle
It's funny he's really flirty but also doesn't seal the deal. Literally, every woman in that bar is willing to get in his bed but he declines every offer. No one knows why
Its because he respects women
He helps his students break the rules as long as they're within reason. Once night Yuji was really hungry and after having a temper tantrum he couldn't order Uber eats bc the school is supposed to be secret Gojo helped sneak him out to get food. Who needs curfew anyway.
The shirts in his closet range from like twenty bucks to the iconic rich bitch shirt the kids ruined in that one chapter we all know the one 
He still wears that by the way, he calls it "art" 
When he was younger, Megumi drew a picture of Gojo being eaten by his shadow dogs. Gojo found it and now it's framed in his room.
He keeps up with current trends and memes like no one's business. This is how he bonds with his kids.
Don't call him old, but also, he'll tell you to respect your elders it's a mess
He has a lot of games on his phone. You can usually find him holding his phone sideways playing some RPG game he probably spent too much money on 
He did hop on the Pokemon Go hype train but after becoming overpowered he got bored
This happens to a lot of games. He pays way too much money, gets to be the strongest in the server, and gets bored
He likes games where you can kill other people's troops and likes to watch as they lose all their power
I canon him as being borderline sadistic
This is why he's Sakata Gintoki reincarnated
White hair, sweet tooth, black leather clothes, dad vibes, never takes anything seriously bc when he does he's scary as fuck, the works.
He is Sakata Gintoki
He liked Gintama growing up. He watched a lot of iconic shows as they aired. He considers himself an og
He's hella bilingual
Because he's the strongest he goes overseas for missions a lot. Because of this he speaks a lot of languages and knows a lot about international cuisine 
He takes pictures of himself eating disgusting foods like snails. He never likes them but he loves the idea of Nobara gagging back in japan
Has paperwork sitting untouched on his desk from three months ago that he will not touch for at least another three months
Does the crossword puzzles in the newspaper every week
Uses humor as a coping mechanism and it honestly just became a personality
Constantly popping his joints. I'm sorry if you find this gross I too find it gross.
Probably brought home every stray animal he ever met ever until he was at least like 22 y/o

Jonathan?
favorite thing about them
i luv that he loves his family so much and he’s a really caring person and he tries so hard to do the right thing but he’s not afraid to be a bitch if the situation calls for it and i love that he’s like a shy little edgelord but he isn’t even really that much of an edgelord bc he’s fucking constantly giving everyone in his life pep talks and shit... but my favorite thing about him is his gay little sweaters
least favorite thing about them
taking pictures of nancy and then being like well it’s bc ur not REAL but u were REAL in that moment u stopped PRETENDING!!! like oh my god shut UPPPPP shut UP. shut UP. he did shut up tho and he hasn’t pulled any of that shit since... so my official least favorite thing about jonathan is how he’ll just randomly pull a 180 on his opinions and morals whenever the plot wants him to. which is not really his fault. so.
favorite line
i’m cheating and picking two but they’re from the same conversation so: “It’s 6:00 AM and, uh, I had a late night with Fagin and the gang, so-” & when nancy asks if will’s safe and he says “Why wouldn’t he be safe? Nancy? Why wouldn’t he be safe?”
like. god if that’s not jonathan in one phone call. fucking nerdy little bitch who cares about nothing more than just making sure his little brother is safe and happy and cared for. fuck. also i think that phone call is like charlie’s best work on the whole show literally just that one bit where he’s like “why wouldn’t he be safe?” makes me want to DIE every time.
brOTP
idk argyle yet but jargyle bc god knows johnny boy deserves to get high sometimes. also i think jonathan and robin could be really fun together i hope they interact some in s4
OTP
Tumblr media
nOTP
.....................j*ncy
random headcanon
jonathan uses 3-in-1 i know this for a fact i also know that he’s never heard of a skincare routine and he washes his face with regular bar soap. he’s a very clean person like he showers regularly and everything he just basically uses the most shitty abrasive products known to man even when he does have the money to get nice stuff. sometimes he thinks he should try to be fancy and do the self care thing but then he’s like mmm that lotion is $2 kinda steep idk about that :/ he and steve become friends and within like a month steve is like hey man my mom got me this shampoo and conditioner and leave-in conditioner and hair gel and face wash and moisturizer and sunscreen for uhhhh doing the yardwork but this stuff is all like TOTALLY wrong for my hair and skin type so i was wondering if you could use it it’ll all just go to waste otherwise :) and jonathan KNOWS what steve is doing and he’s offended but he isn’t offended as a poor person like he’s offended as a dumb boy being given all these products he doesn’t know what the fuck to do with bc he's like how did steve know i don’t own moisturizer... can he just tell from looking at me.... does everyone know i don’t own moisturizer or is steve just a preppy little bloodhound....
unpopular opinion
maybe this is not an unpopular opinion but i really truly believe that jonathan kissing nancy and sleeping with her in s2 was out of character and just bad writing. like... like i get it okay? i get that they were going for this thing where there’s just pent-up tension and he just decides to screw the consequences and go for it. but jonathan had literally spent the past YEAR ignoring his crush on nancy and he’d spent the past couple of days specifically worrying about steve’s feelings and encouraging nancy to talk to him, and reminding nancy that she and steve are together when she asks why she and jonathan aren’t together/closer. like i KNOW they showed him hyping himself up and chickening out a lot before he finally did it but i don’t think jonathan held himself back from making a move on nancy out of fear yknow i think he held himself back out of respect for nancy and steve and their relationship and i don’t think anything meaningful really... changed between the night in the hotel room and the night at murray’s. nothing significant enough to change jonathan’s moral views on the situation. obviously, murray talked to them, but i think that’s such a weak justification and so far in the show jonathan really has not been the sort to just go along and do something because somebody tells him he should, ESPECIALLY if that somebody is some random guy he doesn’t even know!! in fact, NOT listening to the shit people tell him he should do is kinda his whole thing!! there’s just no goddamn reason for him to have made the first move there and i think it shouldn’t have happened, or at the very least nancy should have made the first move or they should have done something to give jonathan a clear change of heart.
so yeah i just have really strong opinions about the characterization of a character who’s like super inconsistent bc 70% of the time he’s just used as a plot device anyway. 
also he’s gay <3
song i associate with them
disco! in the panic room by bug hunter!! 
favorite picture of them
i’m cheating but here’s a gif i made that i’m never gonna post otherwise but i would like for people to see <3
Tumblr media
ok i lied i’m also gonna put a picture because this is too fucking funny
Tumblr media
king you’re not a force user idk what ur expecting to happen...

There’s Insurance for That
In which Skylor buys lunch, stops a criminal, and learns the best way to blow up the kitchen electronics section, which is a pretty normal week for her, she guesses. Or, five places the ninja are no longer allowed into, featuring Skylor.
(been hitting a bit of a writer’s block with everything else lately, so here’s this...disaster, i guess?? because these ninja are definitely a disaster in this, but i was having fun so. this is the bed bath & beyond fic btw, in case anyone was wondering gdfkgdh)
1. My. Kazami’s Ramen Place
At this point, sadly, Skylor’s used to it.
It’s around a quarter to noon on a Monday, just as she's leaving the noodle shop for her well-deserved lunch break, when a familiar scream splits the relatively-quiet afternoon air on this side of Ninjago City.
The only reason Skylor does not immediately dissolve into panic at said scream is because she is — also sadly — familiar with the variations of it, and this one sounds less like it’s Lloyd’s “I’m-in-terrible-danger-and/or-pain-again” scream, and more like his “I’m-free-falling-on-purpose-from-the-sky-again” scream. Which is, in and of itself, not entirely concerning. In fact, it’d probably be more unusual not to see Lloyd go falling from the sky at some point during any of the ninjas’ higher-than-eight-feet battles, because somehow that’s become a habitual thing. The sky is blue, fire is hot, Kai uses hair gel — Lloyd is going to drop screaming from the sky at some point this month.
So instead of panicking, Skylor figures she’ll just stand in the vicinity until Lloyd either climbs out of another dumpster, or lands on top of her. Kai doesn’t seem to be around to catch him, so Skylor’s prepared to step up, even though it looks like Lloyd’s got a pretty good handle on landing, at the angle she’s watching him from.
Still though, she muses. You’d think he’d have started actively wearing a parachute at this point.
“Kai suggested that,” Lloyd says, after he’s finally able to stand straight, and he’s not quite as cross-eyed. He frowns at his reflection in a store window as they pass by, scuffing at his windblown hair again. “But it gets in the way, you know? It throws off my backflips.”
“That’s a nail in the coffin right there,” Skylor agrees, leading them across another sidewalk. Lloyd’s attracting a lot of looks, with his bright green battle gi and razor-sharp sword strapped across his back, but fortunately no one’s started crowding them yet. Probably because the razor-sharp sword strapped to his back. “Can’t have your fighting style completely crippled,” she adds.
“I don’t backflip that much,” Lloyd huffs. Yes, you do, is on the tip of Skylor’s tongue, because she’s seen him fight, but she decides not to pick that battle…this time.
“Besides,” Lloyd continues. “I don’t really need a parachute, anyways. I always make sure to aim for like, somewhere safe to land. Relatively safe. Safe-ish.”
Skylor eyes him. “You landed in a dumpster.”
Lloyd bristles in offense. “I did not! It was a perfectly respectable recycling bin.”
“Same thing, if you ask me.”
“Not even close. Dumpsters are gross. Recycling bins you just crash through a whole bunch of cardboard and old newspapers. It’s luxury trash diving.”
Skylor just sighs, shaking her head, and edits the text she’s been tapping out for Kai.
Skylor > found your kid in a recycling bin
Skylor > taking him to lunch bc you’re clearly starving him again
Skylor > he’s alive btw
Kai > oh thank fsm
Kai > tell him he’s grounded
Kai > u never take me for lunch :(
Skylor > maybe if u dropped on me from the sky sometime i would
“Hey, are the others busy?” she asks Lloyd in afterthought. “Like…fighting anyone?”
“Huh?” Lloyd blinks. He then flushes, rubbing the back of his head. “Ah, no. We’d pretty much finished up the fight when I, uh…there was a break-in, on the Bounty? We had the guys all taken care of, but they blew part of the mast up, and it left debris all over the deck, so I kind of…maybe….tripped…”
Lloyd is bright red by the time he finishes the sentence. Skylor wouldn’t feel so bad about it, if she wasn’t doubled over laughing at him in the middle of rush hour traffic.
“You are a trained ninja,” she breathes out, between snickers.
“I know,” Lloyd moans.
“You’re like, part god.”
“I know,” Lloyd moans again, into his hands this time. Skylor has to grab his shoulders and forcibly drag him along down the crowded street, trying not to cringe inside at all the looks they’re getting.
“Kai says you’re grounded, by the way,” she says, as the last of her laughter fades.
That snaps Lloyd out of it. “He can’t ground me,” he scowls. “I’m leader.”
“Stop falling from the sky, and maybe he’ll give it a rest,” Skylor replies, glancing down as her phone buzzes again.
Kai > I’d join u but I’m stuck on prison delivery
Kai > nya’s coming to pick up the demon spawn tho
Skylor > nice I’ve been wanting to buy her lunch
Kai > cruel
“—don’t know what you mean, I don’t fall that often, and most of the time it’s on purpose, anyways—”
Skylor chooses to ignore Lloyd’s slightly-concerning, sulking rambling, and pats his shoulder instead. “Nya’s coming for lunch, too,” she says. “Does ramen sound good?”
“Oh, yeah.” Lloyd brightens, seemingly cheered by the reminder he’s getting food out of this. “It’s been a while since I’ve eaten out.”
“I can tell,” Skylor says, eyeing him. “Cole hasn’t been cooking for you, has he?"
“No, but we put Zane on mandatory break so he could relax a bit, and we’re all suffering for it.”
Lloyd and Skylor both jump at Nya’s voice, not having heard her coming up behind them.
“Nya!” Lloyd beams. “Skylor is — ouch, hey, let go!”
“That’s what you get for giving me gray hairs again,” Nya scolds, digging her knuckles into Lloyd’s hair. She looks up from the hold she’s pulled him into, and smiles brightly at Skylor. “Hi, Skylor. Nice to see you.”
“Hi, Nya.” Skylor gives a little wave, watching Lloyd squirm out of Nya’s grasp in amusement.
“So, ramen?” Nya says, giving Lloyd one last elbow in the side before joining Skylor.
“Yeah,” she says. “I was thinking the place down on seventh, the Sobahouse, I think?”
Lloyd and Nya both stiffen, their steps slowing. Skylor pauses, turning to stare at them in confusion. “That’s not the one owned by someone named Mr. Kazami, is it?” Nya finally asks, hesitantly.
“Uh, yeah, it is, actually,” Skylor blinks. “He’s pretty nice, we go to the same grocer on weekends.”
“Ah,” Lloyd says, carefully.
“Hm,” Nya hesitates.
Skylor looks between the two of them, now completely stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.  She really hopes no one is getting pictures of her like this. There are enough flash articles about the rumored orange ninja cryptid on the internet as it is. “Is that…a problem?”
Nya pointedly stares at the sky as if it’s the most interesting thing she’s seen all day. Baffled, Skylor tries the weaker link. Lloyd swallows, avoiding her eyes as he bounces from leg to leg, as if the mere thought of trying to enter the restaurant is terrifying. Which is mildly alarming, because this is the same kid who power-walked straight into a prison full of escaped violent criminals, his psychotic ex, and his undead murderous dad without hesitation.
“We can’t,” Lloyd finally mutters, staring at the sidewalk. Nya elbows him in the side, hissing “weak link” as she does. Lloyd just glares at her.
“O-okay,” Skylor says, unsure. “I mean, that’s fine if you guys want to go somewhere else. I just didn’t know you…didn’t like this place…”
“No, we do,” Lloyd grinds out, and he looks more embarrassed than terrified now, so Skylor aborts her half-formed plans of speed-dialing Karloff. “We just can’t. Go in, that is. We’re not allowed to.”
Skylor stares at him. “You’re not allowed in? Why not?”
“Because,” Nya forces through gritted teeth. “They banned us.”
“They what?” Skylor gapes.
Nya presses her lips together tightly. Lloyd stares very hard at the ground, as if desperately trying to convince himself to keep quiet. Skylor can pinpoint the moment he breaks, his expression contorting as he throws his hands up wildly. “You blow their electrical system up one time—”
“Oh guys, no,” Skylor groans, before bursting into laughter at him for the second time that day. Lloyd looks incredibly unappreciative, his expression scrunching up in annoyance like she hasn’t seen since that one stupid skating match with Chamille, and that just makes her laugh harder.
“We were trying to save them!” Nya defends indignantly. “It’s not our fault they had weak wiring—”
“I just got a little too into it, it’s — it’s Nya’s fault, she’s the one that said it’d be cool if I tried to do shockwave thing like in—”
“That was a mutual thing and you know it!”
“Oh guys, no,” Skylor wheezes into her hands.
“It worked!”
“Poor Mr. Kazami,” Skylor manages, through snickers. Lloyd’s shoulders slump, his upper lip pouting, and Nya crosses her arms, as if refusing to look ashamed.
“It’s not like the other guys aren’t banned from anywhere, either—”
“Alright, alright,” Skylor waves her hands, taking pity on them. “We’ll go somewhere else.”
“Good,” Nya mutters, as Lloyd exhales in relief. Skylor just snickers again, leading them down the sidewalk in the opposite direction. She bites her lip, shaking her head, before a thought occurs to her.
“Wait, what do you mean, ‘it’s not like they aren’t banned from anywhere’?” she frowns. “You guys are banned from more than one place?”
“No,” Nya says firmly, before Lloyd can even speak up. “Forget I said anything.”
Skylor will do no such thing, but she decides it’s in her best interest not to pursue it. Nya is not the sort of person to trifle with, and she does want that ramen.
She gets her answer soon enough, anyways.
2. Ninjago City Aquarium
While Skylor has the early shift on Tuesdays, she does get the afternoons off, which is pretty nice for the most part, if it didn’t mean she’d be bored for the rest of the day. So she hits the grocery store and decides to take the long way home, partially because walking is supposed to be good for you, and partially in hopes that one of the ninja will drop in on her again.
She’s not disappointed.
Granted, a minor explosion going off from inside the Ninjago City Aquarium wasn’t exactly what she was expecting today, but the figures in bright red and white arguing furiously outside the security perimeter are par for the course.
It’s a little odd that they haven’t already rushed in yet, Skylor notes, but with the way they’re loudly yelling at each other in the middle of the street, she figures she’ll find out soon enough.
“No, Kai, it is our civic duty to follow the laws put in place for the safety of civilians—”
“Oh come on, you get brainwashed into a slightly-murderous emperor one time and now you’re a stickler for everything?!”
"One time was enough, Kai!”
“Uh, hi guys,” Skylor approaches the two, hesitantly. “Is everything alright?”
“Skylor!” Kai whirls on her, his eyes wild. “Thank FSM, you’ve gotta help us out — they won’t let us in!” He shakes his fist at the aquarium doors, before springing for the security gate. “Let us in, let us in—”
“Shaking the gate like an animal is not going to convince them, Kai!” Zane pleads, prying Kai away. He shoots Skylor an apologetic glance as he wrangles Kai into a gentle chokehold. “We would greatly appreciate your help, if possible. There’s a low-threat criminal with an unfortunate assortment of weaponry who ran into the aquarium, and we’re legally unable to pursue. If you could try to drive him out, perhaps?”
“I — you — you’re what?” Skylor has the weirdest sense of déjà vu, before it’s lost in confusion. Her head swivels from the frustrated expression on Kai’s face to the pleading one on Zane’s, then to the grocery bags in her hands. She looks back up at Kai, who’s now giving her the puppy eyes. Something from inside the aquarium explodes loudly.
“Sure,” she sighs, handing Kai her grocery bags. “Just one guy?”
“Just one guy,” Kai exhales in relief. “You’re a lifesaver, Skylor, I — hey, are these those snack cakes they made to look like us?”
“Yes, eat them and you die,” Skylor hisses. She turns to Zane, holding her hand out half-hesitantly. “Lend a girl some ice powers?”
“Of course,” Zane nods, letting her take his hand. There’s a brief moment as Skylor melds her power with Zane’s, absorbing the icy force and mimicking it to her own — a part of her notes vaguely that it’s stronger than the last time she borrowed it, but she shakes it off, pulling her hand back and tugging the hood of her jacket up, mentally hoping no one writes another article about the possible existence of a cryptid orange ninja after this.
“Alright,” she says. “Be back in five.”
“Thank you,” Zane says fervently, as Kai sputters, “Hey, why didn’t you borrow my power?”
“Because fire is explosive, and you’ve gotta be banned from here for a reason!” Skylor calls back, ice already misting over her fingertips as she sprints inside the aquarium.
“You’d be surprised,” Kai mutters, after her retreating back.
***********************
“So,” Skylor says, flexing her right hand and wincing briefly. That last right hook she’d thrown at the guy might have been a little too hard, in hindsight. But he was being a jerk, and threatening to set off a bomb near the little seahorses — and it did do the trick, so now the aquarium can have the host of cop cars off its back. Skylor feels pretty accomplished in her good deed for the day, actually. “Why, again, couldn’t you guys have taken care of that yourselves? Not that I minded,” she adds, quickly. Using the ice element had been fun. She’d forgotten what she could do with Zane’s powers.
Kai gives a nervous laugh that’s so fake it almost hurts, especially with the pained expression he makes at the end. Zane just rubs his temple with a hand, looking eternally weary.
“Like I said, we are legally not permitted to enter the aquarium, until…when was it again, Kai?”
“Five years from now,” Kai mutters. “Or whenever the director dies.”
“Yes, five years from now,” Zane repeats, with a dead sort of look in his eyes. “So your assistance was very much appreciated. Thank you.”
“It was no problem, but — wait, hold on, how are you banned from the aquarium for five years?” she stutters. “I mean, I can get Lloyd and Nya with the ramen place—”
“Ha! They told you about that? It was great—”
“Kai, please.”
“—and I can understand Kai, but you, Zane?”
She feels a little guilty for calling him out so bluntly, but it’s Zane. Zane doesn’t just get banned from places, she has to know. And he doesn’t look too upset at the question. Kai looks mildly betrayed, but not that much. They both know Skylor’s point is too valid for him to argue with effectively.
Zane gives another bone-weary sigh. “There is a small chance, that there was a time we were pursuing another villain here, and during that battle, I might have…underestimated the amount of ice I was putting out.” Zane shifts, looking pained. “Which in turn accidentally spread to any bodies of liquid that happened to be nearby at the time, which perhaps were filled with rather expensive aquatic life.”
“You froze a fish exhibit,” Skylor deadpans.
“They were merely in extreme hibernation,” Zane grits out. “They would have been fine, had Kai not tried to fix the ice.”
“Hey, it made sense! I could melt it quickest!”
“Except you didn’t just melt it, did you? No, you had an entire fish fry—”
“The poor fish,” Skylor says, staring at them blankly. “What were they?”
“Like, these rainbow fish, from way up north, I think?” Kai says. “I swear I didn’t make it that hot.”
“The water was boiling, Kai!”
“You fish murderer,” Skylor says, the corners of her mouth trembling with the laugh she’s holding back. Kai glares at Zane, then her, then Zane again.
“I didn’t freeze them solid.”
“Whatever the cause of their death, they died, and we’re banned now,” Zane says, hastily. “End of story. Would you like to take this back to the Bounty, Skylor? I know the others have been wanting to see you, and we can at least offer you tea in thanks.” He eyes the grocery bags Kai’s still holding. “Unless, of course, you wish to return home…”
“Nah, tea sounds good,” she smiles. “Besides, I bought the snack cakes for you guys to try anyways. They’ve got little squashed ninja faces in icing on ‘em.”
“You’re the best,” Kai says, looking somewhat relieved, and oh, he definitely ate one while Skylor was in there. She’s going to have to pay him back for that one…
“Tell me something I don’t know,” she says airily, figuring she’ll take her revenge later. “You can tell me more about the fish massacre on our way back. By the way, Pixal wouldn’t happen to have heard this story, would she?”
Zane gives her a look, and she almost feels bad about it. “I’m going to regret inviting you, aren’t I.”
“Maybe,” she grins. “Jury’s still out.”
3. An Entire Drugstore Chain
Wednesdays are always busy at the noodle shop, for reasons Skylor has yet to figure out. Fridays she understands, but the middle of the week? Nothing kills your drive like knowing you’re going to do this all over again in a day.
It’s good money for the shop though, she reminds herself as she locks up that evening. Any money is good money for the shop, because her stupid dad made sure she’d have a real hole to dig herself out of there, but Wednesday money is always especially good. Even if she ends up leaving the shop late and can’t get the noodle smell from her hair for the next three days.
Normally, she’d trudge home and crash into bed after these kind of shifts. But tonight is different, because she stayed long enough at the Bounty yesterday to get invited to game night, and once you’ve promised the ninja you’re going to bring snacks for Monopoly, you can’t just say no. Not unless you want Lloyd to shoot betrayed glares at you the rest of the month.
Besides, she’s promised Kai she’ll sneak out to the movies with him afterwards, and she can’t just go breaking that promise. Plus, she’s not heartless enough to deny Cole cake when he’s got the most spectacular black eye she’s seen all year bruising up around the left side of his face.
“Lucky hit,” Cole grumbles, after she’s been caught staring too long. She hasn’t wanted to ask him about it, since it seems a sensitive subject and he’s already taking the time to help her pick up (carry) all the snacks. But it’s impossible to miss, even in the dim streetlights they’re walking under, and Skylor cares about her friends, thank you very much. “We busted some drug dealers today, and I got too relaxed.”
“They normally really aren’t any match for you, to be fair,” Skylor offers.
“They weren’t this time either, that’s the sad thing,” Cole says, scrubbing a hand through his thick hair as they wait at the stoplight. “This was all on me. I kinda deserved it.”
“I’m sure it wasn’t that bad,” Skylor tries to console him, even though the ugly red at the edge of his eye says otherwise.
Cole gives her a bleak look. “Jay made a joke, and I laughed at it. And then I got hit across the face with a baseball bat, mid-laugh.”
“Ouch,” Skylor hisses through her teeth. “Never mind, that’s bad. Was it a good joke, at least?”
“No, that’s the thing,” Cole groans, as the light finally turns red, allowing them to cross the street. “It was terrible. And I still laughed hard enough not to notice a bat coming for my face.”
Skylor grimaces. “You were just being a good friend, I guess,” she says, and Cole snorts. “Like you are to me, right now,” she continues, glancing ruefully at the shopping list she’s been sent. “I was going to say I had it handled, then I actually looked at everything you guys asked for.”
Cole laughs sheepishly. “Yeah, that’s…that’s us, I guess. Sorry about that. We’re paying for it all, don’t worry.”
“What?” Skylor blinks. Oh no, no way. The ninja have done enough for her, the least she can do is cover a couple bags of popcorn and like ten things of M&M’s. “No, I got it. I owe you guys, anyways.”
Cole bristles. “No way. We owe you, if anything. The amount of times you’ve covered our tab at the noodle shop?”
“How about the amount of times you’ve saved my noodle shop?” Skylor shoots back. “That outweighs a few measly tabs.”
“The only reason we had to save it was because we were there in the first place,” Cole points out. “We’re danger magnets.”
“I’m sorry, I’m the daughter of Chen, remember?” Skylor huffs. “I can attract enemies all by myself.”
“Not as many as we do,” Cole says. “Also! You helped us beat Chen, and get Zane back. We’re eternally indebted to you.”
Skylor narrows her eyes. “Only after I stabbed you all in the back. So I eternally owe you.”
“Bold of you to assume we haven’t all stabbed each other in the back at some point,” Cole scoffs. “Trust me, you’re nowhere as bad as Lloyd — he like, single-handedly ruined our whole month by letting a bunch of snakes out.”
Skylor pauses at that, torn between refuting his argument and asking how in the world Lloyd, of all people, could possibly manage to wreak enough havoc to—
Actually, she doesn’t have any trouble believing that at all. But to be sure— “Lloyd let the Serpentine out? All by himself?”
Cole looses a bit of his fire, and scuffs his shoe awkwardly across the sidewalk. “I mean, we did give him a pretty hard time when he was like, eight years old and homeless and starving, so uh, it might’ve been a little...provoked.”
“FSM’s sake,” Skylor mutters, staring at the sky and trying not to be surprised, because she really shouldn’t by now. “I can’t believe you guys are all still alive.”
“Neither can we, if it helps,” Cole shrugs, grinning. “But you know, technically—”
“If you make another ghost joke, we’re skipping the cake section,” Skylor says, firmly.
Cole sulks. “Jay would’ve made a ghost joke,” he mutters.
“Jay also got you hit in the face by a bat, so his judgement is questionable as it is,” Skylor shakes her head. “Oh! There’s a drugstore right here, wanna hit that instead?”
“Sure,” Cole says. “As long as it’s not…oh.”
Skylor makes it another three steps before she realizes that Cole’s fallen behind. Confused, she turns to stare at him where he’s frozen on the sidewalk, looking up at the bright red drugstore sign and biting his lip.
“Everything okay back there?” Skylor says, wondering if he didn’t get hit in the head harder than he’s let on. Cole nods, but he also takes several steps back out of the streetlight, hiding himself from view of the store.
“Here’s an idea,” he says, suddenly. “How about we go anywhere else.”
Skylor stares at him, a sinking feeling in her chest coupled with the slowly-growing-familiar sense of déjà-vu. “Cole.” He doesn’t meet her eyes, and Skylor sighs. “Please tell me you haven’t been banned from somewhere, too.”
“It’s not just me, Lloyd and Jay also got banned,” Cole snaps, before realizing his mistake and ducking his head.
“You’re kidding me,” Skylor says flatly, looking back at the drugstore, then to Cole. “This is like, the shadiest drugstore on this side on Ninjago. How?”
Cole mumbles something under his breath, and Skylor strains to make it out. “Sorry, what was that?”
“I kind of, um, threw Lloyd through their wall,” Cole mutters again, looking as if he’d like very much to disappear entirely into the street side. Which is funny, because—
His sentence finally registers, and Skylor blinks rapidly. “Wait, you what?”
Cole’s eyes widen, and waves his arms quickly. “Not like — not like Garmadon-throwing him through a wall! He was fine after.”
Skylor has a brief, bizarre kind of moment to digest the fact that there is a distinction for throwing the youngest of their team through a wall, before Cole continues.
“I was aiming for the window — that one right there, see? The robbers were already on the move, so Lloyd was like ‘launch me, Cole’ and I said ‘great idea’, but we were also maybe high on adrenaline at the time and I forgot how much of my lava punch I had going, so I overshot and ended up smashing him through their wall, a little bit.”
“You smashed him through their wall. Just a little bit.”
“Hey, it worked. He took out all five guys in one go and only had a tiny concussion after—”
“How do you even have a tiny concussion—”
“I still don’t get why they were so mad, I mean we stopped the robbery! Sure, half their storefront wall sort of collapsed afterwards, but like, we got their money back.”
“So that’s why they were closed six months for renovations,” Skylor groans into her hands.
Cole crosses his arms, glaring stubbornly at the store’s sign. “It wasn’t six months,” he protests. “It was only like, four. I don’t see how that gives them the right to ban us for life.”
“For life—” Skylor can’t decide if she wants to laugh at him, or cry because her list of places she can hang out with the ninja is shrinking faster than she’d thought possible. She finally blows her breath out, rubs a hand across her face, and glances back down at the shopping list.
“You aren’t banned from the one on eighth street, are you?”
Cole bites his lips. “We’re uh, banned from all of them. It’s a chain store, so…”
“Of course,” Skylor sighs. “Walmart it is, then.”
And if anyone pesters them about being late, she’s going to ask how many times, exactly, somebody’s smashed Lloyd through a wall. Because really. This is getting ridiculous.
4. Bed Bath & Beyond
Thursday is normally her day off, but whatever she had for dinner last night gave her freaky dreams, so Skylor ends up puttering around the shop early that morning just to take her mind off it. It’s a bit overcast outside, and the forecast predicts rain, so Skylor’s already making plans to curl up in her bed and watch movies all day, and maybe get a bit of laundry done.
She should know better.
It’s a commonly known fact that the ninja, Kai especially, would do pretty much anything for their pseudo-little brother. Skylor’s actually heard Kai, on multiple occasion, threaten to die for Lloyd, then immediately try and make it reality. No one ever really appreciates that, Lloyd especially, but Skylor can give him credit for trying.
However, it’s a commonly overlooked fact that Lloyd would do anything for his pseudo-older siblings. It’s an even more commonly overlooked fact that Lloyd is the spawn of satan, and was raised at a boarding school for future villains and terrible children. Combined, these two facts mean that while you should definitely fear Lloyd trying to die for you, you should probably fear him trying to look out for you more, because it’s likely going to end with somebody dead. Or at least the total disruption of your plans for the day, as Skylor opens the shop windows to come face with an absolutely terrifying expression on Lloyd’s face, followed up by a deadly calm “Kai came home sad last night.”
Skylor scrubs at her eyes, and thinks, it’s too early for this.
A while back, when she was still stuck with her jerk of a father, Skylor might have found Lloyd’s part-Oni expression of doom intimidating. Now, however, she just rolls her eyes, and sticks one of the little ‘50% Off!’ stickers she’s been putting on rice cakes across his forehead.
“The dog died in the last movie we saw last night,” she explains, as Lloyd sputters at her.
He pauses, nose wrinkling. “Oh,” he says. “Boo.”
“Yeah,” she says, stepping back and allowing him to neatly front-flip through her window. Darned show-off kid, she thinks despairingly, watching him land perfectly on her freshly-waxed floors.
“Well, you’re good then, I guess,” he says, expression lightening. “That makes sense. How many movies did you make it into this time, by the way?”
“Only four this time,” Skylor sighs, turning to plaster the rest of her stickers on the nearly-expired rice cake packages. “We caught the beginning of that new superhero movie, then the opening fight of some spy movie, and the middle of that one horror movie with the dolls.” Lloyd shudders. “Yeah, Kai wasn’t a fan either. Anyways, we made it into this new romance one, but we ran into a theater employee on the way in and Kai had a guilt attack, so we stayed until the end of that one.”
Lloyd tsks. “Oh, Kai. And he’s so sold on his bad boy image.”
“One day he’ll embrace the fact that he’s just a big softie,” Skylor nods. “One of these days.”
“Yeah, when hell freezes over,” Lloyd snorts. He glances around at the empty shop, then back at her. “Hey, today’s your day off, right?”
Skylor gets a sinking kind of feeling in her stomach at that, alarm bells going off in the back of her head. “It might be,” she says, warily.
“Good,” Lloyd grins. “You should come to Bed Bath and Beyond with us, then.”
Well, she wasn’t expecting that. “Why…would you be going there?” she asks, blankly. Do they have a secret ninja weapon bargain bin she’s been missing out on? Is Bed Bath & Beyond secretly hosting an illegal crime ring she’s been unaware of? Does she need to return the shower curtain rings she bought there last week on basis of being a good citizen?
“Zane froze the blender solid before practice this morning,” Lloyd explains, his mouth twisting a bit. “We were making smoothies and someone accidentally brought up the Never Realm.”
“Ouch,” Skylor winces sympathetically. She’s still not heard the entire story of what went down during the ninja’s jaunt out of realm, besides a whole lot of panicked texts from Pixal and half-explanations from Kai, but she knows it wasn’t fun, especially for poor Zane.
“Yeah,” Lloyd sighs. “So now our blender is dead and we can’t make smoothies anymore, so we’re buying a new one before Nya can start strangling people. Wanna come?”
Skylor eyes him shrewdly. At face, it’s an innocent enough request. She’s certainly been invited to worse places than a household furnishings store, and picking up a blender is quite possibly the simplest thing the ninja have ever asked her to do. Which probably just means it’s going to go horribly and the store’s going to blow up ten minutes in, but hey, Skylor’s day was looking pretty boring anyway.
“Sure, why not,” she shrugs. “Lemme stick the last of these on, and I’m in. Just — hey, no, I’m selling those!”
Lloyd freezes in place, the rice cake package dangling from his fingers. He gives her the most pathetically sad-eyed look she’s ever seen, and not for the first time, Skylor finds herself wondering how this is the same kid who runs a highly-skilled ninja team of unimaginable power.
“Just the one,” she finally relents, because Skylor is a spineless weakling when it comes to puppy eyes, apparently. Lloyd beams, snatching the cakes up happily. “And just because you look like a starving vagrant again.”
“I do not,” Lloyd protests, through a muffled mouthful of rice cake. “I’m just super in shape. I’m jacked as heck.”
Skylor rolls her eyes. “Sure you are, you — hey, I said just one!”
***********************
So Skylor ends up at Bed Bath & Beyond on her day off, five minutes after the store’s opened for the day, and already wishing she’d slept in later.
Nya brings her coffee, though, and their bright-eyed enthusiasm at reclaiming their means of smoothie-making is infectious, so Skylor finds herself in high spirits as they walk through the store doors, almost to the point where she lets Lloyd go for stealing all her rice cakes.
However, she’s already let him get away with too much as it is, so Skylor decides to take her revenge by ruffling Lloyd’s hair, before informing the sales lady that it’s her “darling little brother’s thirteenth birthday, and he’s finally outgrown his kiddie bed, could you point us to the big kid ones, please?”
Lloyd’s attempts at strangling her are thwarted by Nya as the lady smiles airily, before pointing them to the back, and Zane has to drag Kai along with them before he suffocates on the laughter he’s choking back.
“Family shopping trips are always so much fun,” Jay remarks, as they browse the bedding section, having been successfully distracted by the animal-shaped pillows. They’ve already had to flee the lamp section, after Lloyd and Jay started having a little too much fun, despite Kai’s despair over being robbed yet again of a new lava lamp.
“One day,” he mourns. “One day, I will own another.”
Skylor pats his back consolingly. “I’m sure that’s what everyone else whose lava lamps got smashed by a giant stone colossi say.”
“I still don’t see why we can’t invest in a cappuccino maker,” Nya pouts, as they pass the coffee appliances section. “Look, there’s one on sale, too!”
“Because you can and will abuse the use of it, and then someone will end up going to the hospital for extreme heart rate elevation,” Zane glares pointedly at her. Skylor smothers a laugh as Nya scowls.
“I’m not that bad,” she grumbles under her breath, only for the others to all chime “ice cube incident” in unison. Nya goes a dark shade of red and glares at the floor as if she’s capable of lighting it on on fire with her eyes, but she doesn’t argue back.
Skylor doesn’t even want to know.
“Alright, here are our options,” Cole announces, when they’ve finally fought their way to the blender shelves. “We can get the same one we had, just a little smaller, or we can get this other one that’s half-off.” He squints at both tags. “Having looked at our bank account recently, I vote the half-off one.”
“No way,” Jay argues. “Do you see how small that one is? I can’t make my triple-espresso energy-drink smoothie with that!”
Lloyd stares at him in concern. “That’s…probably a good thing?”
Jay glares at him. “You’re one to talk, Mr. night owl.”
“I’m with Jay, that one’s way too small,” Nya says. “It won’t do.”
“What, and the other one’s better?” Kai shoots back. “Look how cheap it is, I could break this thing in my sleep.”
“The online reviews for both are perfectly fine,” Zane adds, half-heartedly, as if he already knows they’re all going to ignore that particular statement.
“What about this one?” Jay says, his eyes lighting up as he gestures to the extra-large, fancy blender. “Think of all the smoothies we could make, Cole. Think of the milkshakes.”
Cole pinches the bridge of his nose. “We are not investing in some fancy blender, just for you to complain it’s too complicated five seconds in.”
Skylor crosses over to the blenders, glancing at both. “I mean, you could always just return it…later…” She trails off, realizing that everyone’s suddenly gone deadly silent. She looks up, and starts as she comes face to face with the store manager, who is frozen in place, his mouth half-open as he stares at them with wide eyes. Behind her, Skylor is highly aware of six ninja going similarly still, all utterly quiet.
“You,” the manager finally squeaks out. “You are’t supposed to — you can’t be in here, not again—”
“On second thought, let’s get a blender next week,” Cole says, quickly.
“Yeah, I can live without smoothies a little longer,” Jay agrees, rapidly paling.
Skylor’s at a loss. “What’s going—”
Before she can finish that sentence, Kai and Nya both have hands on her arm and pull, hauling her along as they break into a dead sprint for the exit.
“Explain later!” Kai yelps, dodging employees as the manager shakes his fist at them, his yelling following them through the doors.
“I filed six restraining orders! Six!” he shrieks as they slip out. “Do you know how long that took?! Two of them don’t even exist in the legal system!”
Skylor doesn’t miss the incredibly unsubtle fist bump Lloyd and Zane share, nor the near-tears  sigh of despair from Cole.
She really, really doesn’t want to know.
***********************
Except that maybe she does, so there’s nothing stopping her from asking as they walk home, having bought smoothies from the corner store instead (that they are not banned from, which Skylor is starting to think might be miraculous).
“I don’t know why I’m surprised at this point, but how did you get banned this time?” she asks them, after a particularly long sip of smoothie. “Did you demolish half the store there, too?”
The ninja are silent for a moment, all refusing to meet her eyes. Then—
“It was Jay’s fault,” Cole declares.
Jay whirls on him, his expression wounded. “I trusted you,” he whines. “And you — you bed bath and betrayed me.”
“Because you bed bath and blew up the bedding aisle!”
“It was the kitchen electrics aisle, give me some credit.”
“Oh, because that’s so much better.”
“It is, do you know how hard I’d have to be trying to blow up the bedding aisle? It’s all weighted blankets and like, silk and stuff, no conduction at all—”
Skylor returns to her previous stance on not wanting to know, sips her smoothie in silence as they break into loud arguing in the middle of the street, and hopes once again that no one’s getting any pictures of this.
5. Jamanakai Village Candy Shop
Friday’s her busy day, so Skylor’s spared any chaos other than a jammed mixing machine for the day. It doesn’t come to a head until Saturday, when she cautiously accepts the ninjas' invitation to scout out potential terrorist activity in Jamanakai.
The terrorists turn out to be punk kids who got a little too obsessed with the idea of the Golden Master, which is an unfortunate choice of role model for them, when they have to face up to the ninja. Zane just looks mildly annoyed though, and Lloyd stares into the sun for a full minute before rolling his eyes, so the kids make it out alive.
“We weren’t going to kill them, geez,” Jay says. “Maybe just…lecture them, a bit.”
“Oh yeah, lecture them,” Kai scowls, cracking his knuckles. “The Golden Master, are they kidding?”
“To be fair, they don’t have the same experiences we do,” Cole points out, but he doesn’t look too opposed to the knuckle-cracking, either.
“No harm was done,” Zane says, a bit wearily. “We should simply let it go."
“I dunno, I say we should’ve hung them from a roof for a bit,” Lloyd says, evenly.
The other ninja all cringe in unison, except for Nya, who smothers a coughing sort of laugh. Skylor stares at them, bewildered. “Why would you hang them from a roof?”
“Not sure,” Lloyd says, his lips twitching. “Probably because crime doesn’t pay, muchacho, or something like that—”
“Alright, alright, we get it,” Kai says hastily, clapping a hand over Lloyd’s mouth.
“The guys would know,” Nya smirks, ignoring the looks of utter betrayal she’s getting. “That’s what they did to Lloyd, wasn’t it?”
“Nya, why,” Jay moans into his hands.
“You — hung Lloyd from a roof?” Skylor repeats, thrown for a loop. “Why on earth would you do that? What if he like, fell and died?”
“He was fine,” Cole assures her, hastily.
Lloyd is quick to protest, glaring at them. “No I wasn’t, it was literally scarring! Look, I got this scar from scraping my arm when I fell — oh, wait, oops, that one’s from the Never Realm, it’s this one here.” Lloyd winces as he finishes, suddenly looking contrite as he shoots Zane an apologetic look. “The Never Realm one was from Boreal though, don’t worry.”
Zane looks down, his face shadowed. “It was still my—”
“Nuh-uh,” Jay cuts over him, wagging his finger. “Remember the rule?”
Zane hesitates, looking as if he’d very much like to remember no such thing, but he finally slumps, relenting. “Scars dealt to each other while under the influence of malicious possession by person and/or ancient malevolent artifacts do not count, regardless of extenuating circumstances or deep inner psychological issues that may be brought to light during said influence,” he quotes dully, on a defeated sort of sigh.
Skylor doesn’t know whether to be impressed at that, or depressed that it needed existence in the first place.
“Exactly,” Jay nods. “Which means that any scars from you, Zane, or Lloyd — oh, and Kai, I guess — and Cole, technically, with the Hypnobrai that one time— wow, that’s, hm, that’s a lot of us.”
“If you count the dark matter, we’ve all been possessed,” Zane says, drily.
“Not me!” Kai says, mock-cheerfully.
Jay shakes his head. “Nobody got scars while we were on dark matter! I checked.”
“Why are you saying it like we were on drugs or something?”
“Speak for yourself,” Lloyd scowls. “I’ve still got that stupid ankle one.” He glares at the offending ankle, as if it’s personally disappointed him.
“That was the Overlord, not us,” Nya reminds him. “And uh, your dad, technically.”
Lloyd’s scowl just deepens, his eyebrows tilting downwards hotly. “If I had a dollar for every scar that’s from my dad…”
“I hear you,” Skylor sighs. “Dad scars are the worst. They really know where to hit.”
“Right? It’s always personal with them,” Lloyd shakes his head. “Dads are the worst.”
A beat passes before they both realize the others have fallen quiet. Her and Lloyd blink, and Skylor fights back the urge to cringe at the looks they’re now receiving.
“Well,” Jay says, bleakly. “This is a, um, miserable turn.”
“Hey, hey, no sad faces,” Lloyd scolds, reaching for Kai’s face, which is indeed sporting a pathetically teary-eyed kind of look. “Get that look off your face, off, off—”
“I’m not — stoppit — I’m just— hey, stop it— that’s my face, you brat—”
“Guys, c’mon, cut it out, you’re making a scene,” Cole scolds, pulling them both apart. “How about we stop and get ice cream before we go, okay? To like, cheer us up. Because that was completely depressing, no offense, guys.”
“None taken,” Skylor says, as Lloyd nods in agreement. Cole looks relieved, even if Kai’s still looking a little weepy, and he directs them down another street, heading toward a brightly labeled ice cream shop. Skylor can see tiny rows of candy inside, and there are a bunch of kids gathered around the little stand the owner’s set up at the door. It’s a cute place, all in all — the candy looks good, and it seems pretty cheap.
So it makes zero sense that Lloyd, of all people, would suddenly go painfully tense in the middle of the street, and refuse to take another step forward.
“I can’t go in there,” he whispers.
Skylor’s having that sense of déjà vu again. The rest of the ninja trade confused glances.
“Uh, Lloyd?” Kai says, hesitantly. “They sell candy in there, you know.”
“I know,” Lloyd grinds out, his teeth clenched painfully together. “I’ve been in there before.”
“You have?” Cole frowns. “You — oh.” Realization dawns in his eyes, and he’s suddenly biting his lip, holding back laughter. “Oh, I forgot.”
“Forgot wha—” Jay looks between the two of them, then back at the shop, before something sparks in his eyes as well, and he doubles over in laughter.
“Shut up,” Lloyd hisses.
“Why are we laughing at Lloyd,” Skylor finally sighs, as Kai and Zane break into barely-stifled giggles as well, and Nya rolls her eyes.
“So, um,” Lloyd swallows, shifting anxiously from side to side. “You know how I said they hung me from a roof? There might’ve, uh, been a reason for that.”
“Of course there was,” Skylor says.
“I kind of threatened them, a little bit, and uh, tried to steal half their shop, one time.”
“Of course you did.”
“Lloyd,” Nya sighs. “That was forever ago.”
“I stole from them,” Lloyd bites out. “If I show my face in there again, they’ll kill me."
“I highly doubt they will resort to murder, Lloyd,” Zane says, flatly. “Besides, you did not actually succeed in stealing anything, because we caught you and hung you from a roof. Remember?”
“Yeah, and then I came back with the Serpentine, and made it worse!” Lloyd exclaims. “Just go in without me, I’ll sit out here and cry.”
“We’re not just gonna leave you outside,” Kai rolls his eyes. “C’mon, let’s mend some old wounds. Just go inside and apologize.”
“I would literally rather die.”
“Lloyd, seriously.”
“I’ve done it before, don’t test me.”
“Lloyd.”
“You can’t make me, I’ll fight you—”
“Alright, alright, we’ll find a different shop!”
***********************
“Okay, I have to know,” Skylor finally asks, as they pass the outskirts of the village, heading back to the Bounty. “How many places are you all banned from, in total? Because this is ridiculous. I can’t take you anywhere.”
“I mean, you can’t take us anywhere even without the bans, anyways,” Cole says wearily. “To be fair.”
“We’re not that bad,” Lloyd protests, only to wilt immediately under Skylor’s stare. “There are just…a few places…”
“Zane, how many is it now,” Nya asks, rubbing her temples.
Zane is quiet for a moment, slowly ticking off his fingers as he stares upwards. “Did we ever decide if that one museum counted?”
“The vote was yes,” Jay mutters.
“And the Explorer’s Club, did we decide that one?”
“I’d say that’s a pretty hard ban,” Lloyd winces.
Nya huffs, crossing her arms. “I still say it doesn’t count, because like, everyone’s banned from there, with their stupid stuck-up membership requirements.”
Zane takes this into account, his eyebrows furrowing. “That leaves us with…seventeen places we cannot return to, I believe? Unless I missed one.”
Skylor’s left wordless, gaping at them. She knew there was a lot, but seventeen—?!
“I’m almost a hundred percent sure we’re also banned from the Never Realm,” Kai points out. Zane gives him the iciest look Skylor’s ever seen. Kai simply shrugs. “What? Just stating the facts.”
Lloyd frowns. “I don’t think we are? I mean, Akita wouldn’t—”
“Oh, Akita wouldn’t,” Jay cuts over him, a gleam in his eyes. “Would she, casanova?”
Lloyd goes scarlet, sputtering. “I told you, she kissed me! On the cheek! I just stood there, you can’t—” He buries his face in his hands, and despite her amusement (and rampant curiosity, because this is Lloyd and kissing), Skylor feels bad for him. “I can’t believe I ever told any of you about that,” he whines, sounding tragically upset with himself.
“You were the one having a mental breakdown over it,” Nya reminds him, almost gently. “You need to work on setting boundaries, bud.”
“It’s not like I didn’t tell her I had horrible issues with romance!” Lloyd throws his hands up, frustrated. “Because I did, in painfully honest detail—”
“And yet you refuse to open up to me about it,” Kai says plaintively.
“Turn into a dog for a bit, you might get lucky,” Lloyd grumbles.
Skylor doesn’t want to know. She really, really doesn’t want to know. “Well,” she finally says. “I do know one place you aren’t banned from.”
They all look up at her, and Skylor shakes her head. “You fly me back to the shop in time for dinner, and noodles are on the house tonight.”
Six faces brighten considerably. “Seriously?” Cole says. “Skylor, you’re an angel.”
“Seriously, the best person ever—”
“Our favorite cryptid orange ninja there ever was—”
“Yeah, yeah, keep flattering me,” Skylor sighs, trying not to smile, and failing woefully.
She doesn’t know why she still hangs out with these people, getting banned from everywhere in the city. What a bunch of nerds.

batboys h.c. #1 - hair
dick
- dick uses custom shampoo and conditioner because he is a vain bitch who never grew out of his trust fund baby ways (i’m picturing like the function of one here purely bc that’s what i have #notanad)
- he enjoys choosing the different colours and experimenting with fragrances; currently he has pear and apple which he likes but his heart lies with vanilla milkshake (soft)
- he’s an early bird (ha) and always works out in the mornings so he showers and washes his hair then
- he finishes his showers with a blast of cold water (one of a few reasons his s/o refuses to share showers with him) - he claims it’s to wake him up but it’s really bc he heard it would make his hair shiny and dick is very willing to suffer for Beauty
- dick mastered the towel turban at a very young age
- but nowadays he has a special microfibre turban to reduce frizz
- picture dick grayson standing in his kitchen eating cereal and making a gross green smoothie wearing nothing but the tightest black boxers and a towel turban
- never say i don’t do anything for you
- when it comes to styling dick is all about volume
- when he takes his hair out of the turban he works a huge blob of mousse into it and then spends up to twenty minutes scrunching it until it looks perfectly tousled
- he likes to walk around while he does this so he has mirrors all over the apartment sure that’s the only reason
- he has a habit of running his hand through his hair though so however neatly styled it starts out it always becomes a messy heap within a couple of hours
- still v charming tho
jason
- jason is working his way down the curly hair aisle of his local beauty supply store. he picks up a different shampoo and conditioner set every time
- he’s friendly with the puerto rican women who own the store and sometimes asks them for advice
- they’ve recommended that he try a co-wash but he’s secretly worried it won’t be tough enough to clean blood and gotham harbour water out of his hair on a regular basis
- his actual routine is v basic though
- step 1: he showers when he comes in from patrol around 4/5am and washes his hair
- step 2: uses a ton of conditioner every time
- step 3: puts a towel over his pillowcase and goes the fuck to sleep
- naturally he wakes up with a mess
- drags himself to the bathroom sink, wets his hands, and rakes his fingers through his hair until his hair is at least more evenly distributed over his head
- it usually sorts itself out to some extent eventually and he spends so much time with a helmet on that he’s not too fussed about how it looks
- boom
- thatse it
- he does have a secret self care ritual - it’s not regular but every couple of weeks or so he covers his hair in a deep conditioning mask and tucks it into an old shower cap he found under the sink. next the face mask goes on, he gets a smoothie/glass of wine/elaborate cocktail depending on his mood, fluffy robe, and settles onto his sofa with a book for a couple hours
- he only does this when he’s sure to be alone and interrupting this ritual is liable to get you shot (ostensibly a warning shot but he’s not particular about where he aims said warning shot)
tim
- listen i love tim to death but the truth is he forgets to shower on an upsettingly regular basis and his hair gets greasy easily :(
- luckily all it usually takes is an ‘ew snape’ and he’s off to the bathroom at a light jog
- a freshly shampooed tim drake however is the most beautiful thing in the world
- somehow manages to have nineties boy floppy curtains in the year of our lord 2020 and not look like a prick
- this boy is a serial shampoo thief and it is not uncommon for him to walk into a room, someone to sniff the air, and promptly beat him up for hair product theft
- will he learn from this? absolutely not
- when his bangs get long enough he tucks them back behind his ears (it’s adorable)
- even more adorable is when his s/o starts leaving hair accessories lying about
- timothy drake-wayne sitting in the batcave looking sternly over his case notes with glittery butterfly clips holding his hair back
- he does not use a single styling product on his hair it just does that
- perfectly straight and shiny every time, no cowlicks, no frizz
- it’s infuriating
- after a disastrous experiment with bleach in his early teens tim resorted to a buzzcut rather than let it grow out
- the effect was,,,,interesting
- he’s constantly threatening to shave it again but everyone knows he won’t go through with it bc he heard a barista at his favourite coffee shop swooning over his hair once and now he brings it up every time someone criticises him
- ‘oh yeah well if i’m such a waste of space how come i have “““ the prettiest hair in the world ohmygod it looks so soft don’t you just wanna touch it”””, damian’
- no that’s not the reason it’s his favourite shop what are you talking about
duke
- used to have it all figured out but a recent change in career path has left him high and dry
- before becoming the signal duke’s hair was the best on his street - he favoured twist braids but he was considering locs
- wearing a helmet has kinda limited his options, so his hair is in cornrows for now to make sure his helmet fits properly but he’s not mad keen and he’s trying to figure out how to broach the subject with his barber without compromising his secret identity
- speaking of his barber there’s only one guy at one shop who duke trusts with his fade
- the shop is in south gotham
- as in the other goddamn end of the city
- it’s a fuck ass long drive from the manor
- every time he goes he looks wistfully at his old street as they pass (a fifteen minute walk from his shop)
- his stash of products at the manor are the only ones safe from tim
- it’s not that tim respected his boundaries or anything but the one time he used one of duke’s deep conditioners without checking he came out of the shower with oilier hair than he went in
- duke brought his own satin pillowcases to the manor bc he guessed (correctly) that bruce would never think of it
- they make jason snigger bc he thinks it’s like a sexy thing (ooOOoo SiLk ShEeTs)
- duke just looks over jason’s hair with a judgemental stare and tells him maybe his curl definition wouldn’t be so poor if he got satin pillowcases of his own
- (dick and tim: OOOOOOOOO)
- ((roy, somewhere in star city: OOOOO, artemis: wtf are you doing ? roy: didn’t you feel it? the burn?))
- this one got out of hand rip
damian
- when he was with his mother and the league he never concerned himself with the toiletries provided for him he just used them
- it’s only when he comes to america and is presented with fake apple scented goo that he misses what he had
- the issue is that he doesn’t even know how to start looking for his old products, and it’s not like he can just call talia up and ask her which shampoo she used on him as a child
- he does consider it though
- mostly he just sulks until dick takes pity and tries to help him figure it out
- it is not successful and damian is now somehow mad ???
- as a distraction and filled with regret dick buys him a shampoo bar, the decision primarily based on proximity and novelty value - he hopes the time it takes damian to figure it out will give him time to get away
- this is more like it - damian appreciates the more sophisticated sandalwood scent and also its environmental credentials
- the downside to the bar is that it’s somewhat drying
- damian solves this issue with the only product he can remember his mother using - moroccan argan oil
- as a result his hair is now smooth, shiny, and ethical as fuck
- it also smells nice, which is the only thing tim can think of while damian is furiously challenging him to a duel, the top of his head directly under tim’s nose
- as a young ‘un damian likes to gel his hair into a part swoopy, part spiked quiff, which both highlights the thickness and lustre of his hair and also adds a crucial few inches to his height
- as an adult though just keeping it swept back neatly away from his face is enough
(a/n i rlly wanted to include duke in these headcanons bc he gets left out a lot but idk much about afro hair so if any obvious mistakes jump out to anyone drop me an ask and i’ll edit!! will also be uploading a batgals post next)

You know those headcanons you just posted about the reader playing with Kuroo’s, Lev’s and Akaashi’s hair? I ,,, need one for Suga, Kenma (and Kiyoko if you write for her?),,,,,, pls ....
I NEEDED to get to this right away because I kid you not that as I wrote the other headcanons Kenma kept getting in my mind!! Also of course I write for Kiyoko, she is such a good character and my bi heart loves her too. I hope this are good and thank you so much for requesting!! And I have such a soft spot for Suga, underapreciated angel. Also I am willing to bet that these 3 (and Oikawa) are the characters with the BEST hair. 
Go check @haikyuu-scenarios-box !! Aside from being such a good blog and having impecable taste in video games, commissions are available aside from requests!!
____________________________________________
Kenma
At first he was hesitant about the idea of you playing with his hair, he was not sure if it would end up with his hair being tangled, he is quiet picky with who he lets touch his hair (and him in general) and generally hates it when people do it.
However one day the two of you were on your usual stay-in days, he was playing videogames and you asked if you could play with his hair. Just one glance at your puppy eyes and he agreed.
Its now routine that you do his hair everyday, he loves how it feels, he loves how it looks. He never asks for you to do it, you just KNOW he wants you to do his hair. 
In the mornings he just sits in the bed generally playing playstation as you do his hair, its such a nice routine and he usually never mentions it but him wearing it all day long, everyday, is so special to you both. 
He only undoes his look when he is playing videogames because he wants you to play with his hair while he does. He loves the feeling even more than the actual result, and it is such an intimate gesture for him, it makes him feel loved. 
The first time Kuroo saw him he had this shit-eating grin which annoyed Kenma, none of the boys said a word but it was clear it was your doing and even clearer that he was proud due to his small smile after his initial annoyance expression.  
Lev made such a big deal out of it, asking questions and being all over him. Kenma did answer it was your deed because he is actually proud of it and Lev was being annoying. When Lev asked if you could do his too Kenma just answered “It wouldn’t suit you”, before he started to annoy him again. Lev was pretty offended but did shut up after saying that it totally would
Whenever you know he has a match you do a ponytail with what you call you “lucky hairband”, he is not superstitious but playing is easier and he feels you closer so he likes the gesture
He actually takes pretty good care of his hair, he is a combination between thin hair strands and just soft soft hair, so the moment your hands are on it you feel almost as if you are touching a kitten it is the softest hair ever. He uses conditioner so it makes it so easy to work with and it’s the reason why it’s so soft. 
He actually does not like braids that much, he feels like they weigh him too much, however ponytails and clips are a must, and half-ups are his favorites. He will wear anything you do tho. 
When the two of you watch movies he is the one playing with your hair if you like that, if not he respects it. He is pretty good at styling it too, nothing too fancy but more than most. He also likes brushing it after you take a shower if possible, it feels nice to him.
Kiyoko
It actually all started because the two of you were about to go on a date and decided to get ready together so it was your perfect opportunity. You asked her if you could help with his hair and she blushed in such an adorable way while nodding.
When you were done you almost cried??? She looked so good?? You kept complimenting her and making her blush even more. She smiled as soon as she saw the final product it was so wholesome
She always lightly hums when you play with hair hair, it barely inaudible but it is beautiful. 
She does like how it feels however what she likes the most is the final product and the dedication that goes into it, specially when you smile after you are done. She always kindly asks you to help her with her hair and always thanks you after you are done. 
She kisses you every-time after you finish, she blushed so hard but loved you so much for what you do for her.
The team goes crazy when she walks in with your beautiful hairdos. Noya and Tanaka have the strongest reactions; a braid?? They are crying. A half up?? They are cheering. Top knot bun?? They are going apeshit. The other boys just love it so much, they all definitely thank you for doing the lords work whenever they see you.
She is so good to work on with, she is patient and will remain quiet the whole time, she likes when you talk to her and tell her stories while you do her hair it is quality time that feels so personal to her. 
 When the two of you are sleeping together if you play with hes hair she will hum a little louder than usual, that way the two of you drift asleep fairly quickly.
She is fairly gentle but actually does not know how to do much more than a ponytail so if she plays with your hair it’s usually her hands running through it gently, it actually feels incredible and absolutely nice.
Sugawara
This baby is the one that approached you asking for you to lay with his hair. He loves when people run his hands through his silver hair and as soon as he feels is the right time he will be holding your hand and drive it up to his hair. 
He was absolutely wowed when it turned out you loved playing with his hair, he was starry-eyed when you proposed to do his hair and play with it in more intricate ways.
He kinds just sits in front of you and waits for you to start with his hair; whenever your hands work on him he closes his eyes in pleasure and has the biggest smile. 
He loves talking to you and makes cheeky comments when the two of you are in a more playful mood. However if the two of you are chilling he likes sitting in between your legs and just run his hands tenderly up and down your legs. 
He tends to fall asleep quiet often while you play with his hair, he is just a sucker for it and it feels too good that he can feel himself relax and before either of you notice he will be drooling all over you and snoring adorably
He does not have hair that long but the hair at his forehead and on the front of his hair is perfect for pinning and small braids.
His hair is thick but surprisingly soft, it is really nice to the touch and it actually shines in such a pretty way. It is perfect for holding different styles they stay on perfectly through the whole day. If you work with gel you can get him to look absolutely handsome.
He always compliments what you do, when he looks at what you have done in the mirror he flashes you a smile and kisses your cheek
He loves showing what you do to the other third years and it makes them all so jealous. He tells all of them it was your deed 
After any match, regardless if he has played much or not, he just lays in your lap and asks you to play with his hair. It makes him feel much better. 
When he is feeling a bit down he also needs you to play with his hair, and if possible tell him how much you love him. When he is having such intimate moments with you he feels like he has done something right and it really shows what he means for you and right there he feels like nothing could go wrong
He knows nothing about styling your hair but whenever you two are cuddling if you let him he will brush your hair with his hands while almost singing, he specially loves this if you are lying on top of him with your hair on his chest, he is so gentle.
He just loves you very much and for him touch means affection, so he loves the connection that you chose to share with him

Hello my lovely clown friends! :)
This is part two of "Arthur getting new medication"
I hope you guys like this story.
Enjoy it. ♡♡♡
It's Arthur's point of view.
The clown comes out to play
Disclaimer: mentall illness
I was half asleep and dreamed at the same time.
It was early in the afternoon.
After the passionate kiss of my beloved (Y/N) ended, we both became tired and layed down on our couch in the living room.
We cuddled up together and wanted to rest a little. It was peaceful to lay on the couch with the one you love. And to think about nothing like the world around you stand still.
I could hear her breath against my face and her heartbeat, because my hand was on her chest. Everything was perfect and nothing or nobody could disturb us. The only problem was my shadow, because he begged for coming out and I couldn't hide him anymore. It was too early to show (Y/N) my other self, but I couldn't wait anymore. Joker wouldn't wait longer, because he wasn't patient. I made (Y/N) curious and the result is to risk it and give her a look at my protector, the clown in red suit. Red has always been my favourite colour. My suit explains it and (Y/N) knew that. I could tell her anything, but I am always getting nervous when she looks at me with this curious face expression as if I hide something from her. I want to be honest with her and I have promised her that.
Suddenly I opened my eyes and looked at (Y/N). She looked so sweet and innocent during her slumber, but then I heard her whispering my name. This made me happy and I kissed her cheek.
"I love you, (Y/N)." I whispered into her ears and stroked her hair.
She smiled and opened her eyes. I hope I didn't wake her and smiled back at her.
"I love you too, Arthur." She kissed my lips and placed her hands on my cheeks. I loved it when she did that and began to play with my curls. (Y/N) loved it to play with my messy hair and I always giggled and enjoyed it. I could have continued like that, but then the final question came.
(Y/N) looked me in the eyes and asked me.
"Can you introduce me Joker?"
I heard him inside of me. He wished to come out and say hello to (Y/N). And I thought about the consequences, because he would take the over hand in the end. He was my shadow and created by childhood trauma. I couldn't ignore him. It was impossible. My eyes were fixed at her and I slowly answered.
"I can do that. He is already begging for freedom and I can't hold him back anymore. He is part of me, (Y/N)." I felt nervous again and this time it was worse. It was a sign to finally show her my dark side. After taking a deep breath I kissed her lips deeply and spoke those hard words.
"I am going to show you Joker now."
I couldn't believe what I've just said, but it had to be done. (Y/N) was glad and smiled at me in a sweet way. She stroked my cheeks again and said something that turned me on. Or better said it turned Joker on. "Then don't let him wait longer. Let him come out, Arthur. I am curious."
I smirked and could feel the presence of my shadow. The only missing parts were the suit, the make up and the hair dye.
"Give him about twenty minutes. Joker needs time to prepare himself for you, (Y/N)."
I could see the excited look in her eyes as I left and went into the bathroom. I locked up the door and got undressed until I only wore my underwear anymore. Then the transformation could begin. First I took the green hair dye and put it around my hair until my hair was covered green. I gave my hair and my head a soft massage to let the hair dye soak in. Of course I listened to music while I turned into Joker and it was nothing more than my favourite song That's Life from Frank Sinatra. I hummed the lines and danced around in the small bathroom.
"That's life.. That's what all the people say."
Once the hair dye soaked in, I washed it out and combed my hair back. I used hair gel to fix my stubborn curls and made my hair look shiny. The next step was the white face paint. I brushed it all over my face and a few parts of my neck too. Arthur slowly disappeared and the most important part came now. I painted blue triangles above and below my eyes and the left one longer than the right. I loved that part so much and continued with the wide red fake smile. This damn smirk. Every clown needed a red smile and a red nose, because this was the next step. I painted my nose red and two red eye brows above my blue triangles. My Joker make up was finished.
I grabbed my suit and put on my red pants, my green shirt, the yellow vest and the red jacket. I wore white socks to my brown shoes and felt not like Arthur anymore. He disappeared and Joker appeared. The clown was ready to introduce himself to (Y/N).
I turned the radio off and unlocked the door.
My body language fully changed as I entered the living room where (Y/N) read the latest newspaper.
I smirked widely and felt very confident and sexy.
Before I could say anything, (Y/N) fixed her eyes at me and looked kinda shocked and surprised at the same time. Did I scare her with my clown make up? She should be used to it, because of my Carnival make up.
Well, Carnival and Joker are two different clowns. Two different personalities, but always the same person behind the mask.
I kept my eyes at her and she stood up and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my god! Is that really you, Arthur?"
She must have been shocked, because I have changed a lot with the make up, the hair dye and the red suit. My favourite part of this clown look.
I stepped closer and took out a red rose from behind my back. It was offered to my beautiful girlfriend and I smiled at her.
"It's Joker.. Please call me Joker!"
She looked at me from head to feet and noticed the red rose which I offered her and took it thankfully. She must have been speechless and didn't know what to say.
I decided to ask her.. "Is everything alright, (Y/N)?"
She smelled at the rose and looked into my green eyes. "Yes, Joker.. You are so handsome and sexy in your red suit. Thank you for the rose!"
I smirked and offered her my hand.
"May I take you outside for a walk, sweetheart?" I love to call her that, because she means everything to me. I might be Joker now, but I'm also Arthur. He hides behind the make up while Joker had his time and fun.
(Y/N) blushed and took my hand before she answered. "I would love to go out with you for a walk."
I could see the shyness in her eyes, but also the excitement. I wish I would feel confident with Arthur too, not only with Joker now. Sometimes you need to do the wrong thing to get things right.
"I am glad to hear that. Let's go then!" I leaded her towards the door and opened it for her. (Y/N) smiled and took my hand while we walked to the elevator.
I wasn't sure how she felt, but I was excited to go out with her in my full Joker mode. This was a sign for me that this could only mean the best or the worst, because people haven't seen Joker with a girl yet. They respected me as Joker, but not all. A few were against me and hated clowns. I touched my pockets and felt my gun and a knife. My weapons against my enemies. (Y/N) wouldn't be happy if she finds out that I'm carrying two dangerous weapons with me.
We left the building and Joker's adventures could begin..
"Are you ready to walk these streets of Gotham with Joker?" I asked (Y/N) and she smiled at me in a lovely way.
"Of course my handsome Joker. Show me this city!" She sounded excited as I thought and we both began to walk away from Anderson Ave. I felt so good and people noticed me. They saw me! Joker was visible.
My red suit was visible.
Good that I chosed red. It was always a good colour and my favourite one.
"I will show you everything I know my sweet (Y/N)." I would show her everything. And it would take the whole afternoon if not even more, but this was my time to let the clown play his games. (Y/N) looked at me and crossed her arm with mine which made me smirk again. My smirk was already big enough, because of the red face paint. I could feel a real smirk under the make up and this was truly beautiful.
"Was that a smirk under your make up?"
I heard her asking and agreed.
"Yes, it was a real smirk. I can't tell if it was Arthur's or Joker's smirk." I was joking, because I knew the real answer and (Y/N) knew it too. She laughed and patted my shoulder gently.
"This must have been a joke, right?"
She kept laughing and I joined her.
"Hahaha.. not at all, because I have a better one to tell. Would you like to hear it?"
(Y/N) shook her head and listened to me while we kept on walking. We have passed already the William Street and I saw people looking at me in a weird way. Didn't they know me? I have brought chaos to Gotham and those people looked at me as if I was the bad guy. I mean I became bad, because of society's fault. They want chaos and they got it.
But back to reality..
I was lost in the past for a moment, but (Y/N) took me back to the presence with a soft hand shake. She even asked me if I'm okay and looked at me.
"Joker?"
I suddenly blinked my eyes and answered her. "Yes?"
Her voice helped me to come back and I realized that I was hallucinating again, but from the past. The past of Joker's beginning.
This happened if I didn't take my meds.
"Is everything alright with you?"
(Y/N) looked worried at me and I had to find a good answer to make her believe me.
"I am fine, (Y/N). I was just thinking about a good joke, but I don't know a good one."
Too bad for Joker, because he usually know good jokes and began to laugh. It felt funny and I laughed very hard. People stared at me and I laughed.
"Hahahahahahahaha.. Hahahahahahahaha."
(Y/N) looked at me worried and took my hands. She squeezed them gently and waited until my laugh calmed down.
Once it was over, I breathed gently and smirked again. "Forgive me, but people stare in a weird way as if they have seen a walking dead zombie. A zombie, hahaha. A little invasion could do better for Gotham."
It was because they saw me. They saw Joker and I enjoyed it. At least I thought so until I heard a laugh. It came from the side and it was a young man. Did he laugh at me?
(Y/N) took my hand and told me to ignore them, because they were stupid if they laughed at me. I couldn't ignore that and anger grew inside of me.
"Why do you laugh at me?" I asked and fixed my eyes at him. He took a look at me and came closer. His friends were waiting and watching from a short distance.
"What's your problem, clown? I can laugh at whoever I want."
This guy didn't respect me as he should. I wasn't a fucking circus clown if he thought that. This angered me even more and I had to control myself.
"I have a problem with you, yes. You know who I am, right?" I made it worse with questioning this guy.
I felt sorry, because of (Y/N). She had to watch and listen how I argued with this respectless guy. He didn't look rich or poor and didn't wear a suit like some kind of business men. He simply looked like a man of middle class and about 30 years. Younger than me, but it didn't matter. I just wanted to know the reason why he laughed at me and then we would continued our own way, but he provoked me and this was his biggest mistake.
Finally he managed to answer my question.
"No, why should I know a freak in red suit? Did you escape from a circus, clown?" The guy laughed again and his friends joined him.
My patience was over and I wanted to scream into the air, so everybody could hear it. I didn't care if people watched me, because this was enough to wake Joker's dark side.
I grabbed my knife, because it was decent and didn't make loud noises like a gun. I carried both with me, but this time I chosed the knife. I hid it under my jacket and looked into the guy's eyes. He should know who I am before I hurt him.
"Ohh. You should know me. I am no circus clown. I am a freak with a knife, because you have just insulted Joker. Time to play a little, huh?" I smirked evily at him and held my knife against his neck.
(Y/N) noticed the knife and screamed.
"Joker! Don't do this. Please, I beg you."
She meant it good with me, but Joker took over hand and he was someone who should be respected or feared in the end. And I didn't listen to (Y/N). I listened to the music in my head and laughed very crazy.
"Hahahahaha.."
I pushed the knife into the guy's chest and he sank to the ground in front of my eyes. His friends couldn't believe what I have done and one called the police. The others were bothering my girl and I became mad. They even touched her and tried to hurt her, because I have punished this respectless guy. My eyes were fixed at them and I forgot to grab my knife again. It was covered with blood and I wanted to punish them too for bother (Y/N). Nobody was allowed to bother Joker's girl.
"Alright, I guess you both are next.. Get your dirty hands off from my girlfriend."
I threatened them with the bloody knife and wanted to protect my beloved one. She should see that Joker can protect her. And I could protect her, no matter what it costs.
But the fun ended as I heard a serious voice behind me..
Cops.. They found me!
I heard them talking seriously.
"Hands up and let your weapons fall."
The voice wasn't familiar to me. It wasn't Detective Garrity or Detective Burke.
It didn't matter. They got me and I couldn't run off like in past. What if they carried loaded guns? I couldn't risk that and looked at the two guys.
"You both will regret it sooner or later. Nobody should mess with Joker or his girlfriend."
They stared at me like (Y/N) and the cops grabbed my arms and hand cuffed me.
I have been arrested and could have escaped if I wanted. Joker has been arrested and his girlfriend had to watch how the cops took him away.
The cops looked at me and didn't say any word at first. Maybe they wanted me to talk first, but I only laughed. The thought of using my knife against a clown hater was a funny thought and the cops finally spoke.
"Stop laughing you freak!"
He leaded me into the police car and got into the driver side. The other one seemed to enjoy it and only laughed at his partner.
"He wants to laugh. Let's see how long he will laugh once he sits in a dark room."
How sweet. They thought it would bother me to be locked up in a dark room. I prefered the white room more, but I didn't care. My thoughts remained on (Y/N). What if she hated me now for doing such a stupid crime?
This was my biggest fear now and I kept my mouth closed the whole way to Arkham.
We arrived at the place where I felt safe.
Safer than at Appartment 8J.
If I told that (Y/N).. She would be sad to hear that and it hurt me.
Back at Arkham..
The cops grabbed my arms and took me into the building.
"Be a good clown or we have to teach you some manners." The voice belonged to one of the social workers here and I only smirked at the woman.
"My name is Joker.." I said and looked into her face with a wide smirk.
The woman rolled her eyes and pointed at the jail straight ahead.
"Bring him into the dark room and check his pockets. We can't trust this.. Joker!" She called me Joker.
I liked this woman already, but I couldn't forget (Y/N).
The cops leaded me to my room and took my gun from my pocket. It was my only weapon anymore, but who cared.
They locked me up and I was alone again.
I took a seat on the cold ground and thought about a funny joke.
My laugh set in again and it turned out to be a hysterical one. I laughed so hard that other prisoners knocked against the wall.
"Hahahahahaha.. Hahahahahaha.. Hahahahahaha.. Hahahahahaha.."
I put my hand on my throat and coughed to get some air to breath in.
"Shut up, freak!" They had no idea that they talked to the saviour of Gotham.
That wasn't the problem. I would escape from Arkham. They maybe thought that I'm a stupid clown, but I was clever.
I had my own ways to escape from an Asylum.
And then it was silent. Maybe I could have some peace. I layed down and tried to sleep, but it was hard for me. The time felt endless and I tried it with closing my eyes and force myself to fall asleep.
Impossible.
Finally I gave it up and stared at the locked door in front of my eyes.
What if someone comes and opens it in front of my eyes? It was my chance to escape and steal a gun from a cop. And then shoot him in his face. The perfect crime!
I would do that.
Suddenly someone unlocked the door.
I couldn't believe my eyes!
It was (Y/N).
"Hello Joker. I'm here to bring you out. We talk about everything later. Hurry up!"
She was sweet. Did she really come here to help me breaking out of Arkham?
She must truly love me.
"I knew you would come and help your Joker to escape from Arkham. I love you so much, (Y/N)." I wanted to kiss her, but she was faster and smirked.
"You were naughty, but I forgive you. Let's get you out of here. I gave them all a sleeping pill and they won't wake up the next hour."
I stared at her surprised and followed her out of the dark room and we both hurried to the exit.
We walked hand in hand out of Arkham as if nothing happened and ran through the city. Of course we took the way back to Anderson Ave and once we arrived, we continued to walk again.
I smirked at (Y/N) while she caught her breath.
"You are so fast. I had to do to follow you, Joker."
"That's something we both have in common. Arthur and I, but I have to thank you for saving me."
She looked at me in a way as if she wanted something else. I couldn't wait and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss.
I was glad that she accepted my kiss and put her fingers into my green curly hair.
This day was special, because (Y/N) helped me to escape from Arkham.
And I couldn't wait for the day where Joker saves his girlfriend...

THE PUMPKIN HEAD ERA
Tumblr media
Their album sold about 8 thousand copies. It became really famous for its amazing aesthetic. The cover of the photobook was white with little water color flowers painted through it and a carved golden pumpkin outline. It had both really ethereal photos,showing each member in their respective fairytale and really cute silly ones of the member’s struggling to fit inside a giant pumpkin
PUMPKIN HEAD charted at number 16, THROUGH THE WINDOW charted at number 23 and SLIPERRY charted at 29 but ended up at number 9 at the Itunes Kpop Chart
COMBO+ stans showed their loyalty and in ten hours their debut mv had 2 million views,before stopping to grow the next week with 10 million  views
Youngho ( Beom's and Hayun's older brother and nation's oppa) promoted the SHIT out them. He  made a vlive with two shirt buttons unopened and said each view milestone the FAERIE mv hit he would undo another button and Hayun called him 19 times during it yelling for him to stop. The rest of AJAX joined him and they got 1O million views
Tumblr media
Their outfits for PUMPKIN HEAD were so cute. They all had pumpkin french berets
The girls all wore heart cleavage orange dresses with round skirts and had leave bracelets. The  boys wore bright puffy orange hoodies and sweats. They had on cute halloween pumpkin stickers on their cheeks 
They didnt get a wins but they were asked to promote for two more weeks after being requested by different variety and music shows
Sliperry stages were really magical,the boys had their hair back,filled with gel to look like princes and they wore full silver glitter suits and pants. The girls had baby blue tulle dresses with off the shoulder puffy long sleeves
Tumblr media
Ot7 ronins had never been this well fed, Eddie’s fancam for their debut performance went viral and for a whole week you couldn’t go on kpop twitter without hearing someone scream about how THEY WAITED 5 YEARS IN AZKABAN TO SEE EDWARD IM’S BEAUTIFULL SMILE
They were praised for their energy and just how much fun they seemed to have on stage,especially Beom who's cuteness was just off the chart. From the get go they established a friendly persona.
Korea was still meh about the whole cute coed thing ,but Hayun debuting garnered a lot of attention so even tho they weren’t sold on the group people were still curious and supportive of her. The internacional fandom tho,was really into them and there was a lot of fuzz. You know that joke about kard’s fans all being bisexuals? Faerie became the representative group for bisexuals who drink hot chocolate and watch disney movies saturday night 
PUMPKIN HEAD as a song was very well loved, it's success came mostly from the general public who wasn't involved in kpop and just wanted to do the meme dance.
Stepsister’s Lament Shook fans a lot
The 7RONIN fandom was so happy that Eddie was back, and then the song dropped and the mood got heavy. The way Eddie made references to ’ princes “ raised some eyebrows and irked the fans. A line that stood out was “chop off half my foot to fit in” as  it is a known fact that Eddie had a tooth he had chipped as a child chopped off and replaced by a new one before debut. He also wore braces during his debut promotions at the suggestion of his leader, Victor.
Even tho it certainly raised suspicions most people blamed  Eddie’s feelings on the company.
The song was included mostly to attract ot7ronins and show that Eddie could still be the public’s long lost bad boy oppa . The company didn’t expect exactly this song when they asked him for something hard but they felt too guilty for letting what happened go on under their roof they were just too embarrassed to say no
Tumblr media
The first thing Eddie did after his announcement  as a member was post this picture with the caption “ I lived b ”
Tumblr media
The members made their first group post on the official COMBO+ account. It was a picture of them all on the cinema their eyes puffy and red cheeks,looking like they had been crying. The caption said : We just watched Frozen and it was followed by a video of Hayun,Jiaolong,Eddie and Beom singing “A LA REINA REINA ALA ALALA LA REINA REINA AAH” in a circle around Youra.
Tumblr media
In their first Sliperry stage, Nari was too nervous to open the song with her first line so Beom had to do it for her. She was really embarrassed her junior had to take on extra burden because she couldn’t do it. Beom tho was really proud he could help her
Jiaolong suffering so much in variety shows, he was so nervous his brain just shut down and he forgot Korean and he would just start talking and not make any sense and  people didn't understand him. He did an amazing job out of laughing it off but it hurt him and his confidence
Hayun did such a good job as a leader, she worked tirelessly, made sound checks,light checks,sowed people's costumes on. Immediately the group members knew that someone had their back.
Everyone commented about how different Youra's energy level was on and off stage and she responded 'Being cute is my job "and stan twitter died
Several comparison videos were made of Eddie with 7RONIN and Eddie with Faerie they all noted he seemed much more happy in Faerie stages.

pls... do ALL OF IT FOR NUELE
oof fam ooof (jk i LOVE THEM) (i crossed out a few that i had no idea how to answer or wasn’t bothered but OTHER THAN THAT) (yes all those 300 word questions kinda became a short fic you can read on ao3 here)
–––––– I tried to put this under a cut but it kept fucking up so HERE I GUESS
1. What are things they both find funny?
Little things. Weird tweets from their teammates. Leon stumbling over his shoelaces. The way Sven gets exasperated with them so quickly. A leaf blowing straight into someone’s face. Everything can make them giggle, pretty much, cause they make each other gleeful, giggly, bubbling AHHHHHH
2. If they could each describe each other in one sentence, what would it be? “Nikki is … he’s my person.” – “Alex made me realize that love can be wonderful, and kind, and fulfilling, and everything, and I love him.”
3. If they complimented each other, what would they say? Alex would talk about Nikki’s wide smile, his enthusiasm and his unbroken optimism despite going through some shit, his kinda heart and his sunshine personality. Nikki would mention Alex’ resilience, the way how he rises above the shit people talk about him and how he came out being a great person still. Also, the way his chuckles sound in the morning and the way his hair looks like spun copper in sunlight and the freckles on his cheeks and shoulders.
4. What would be their ship name? NÜLE we did a great job pairing up two of the very few dudes who have an ü in their last name huh
5. What activities do they enjoy together? Football (duh), watching dumb TV shows they can laugh at together. Cuddling on the couch. Cooking. Accompanying the other on his respective hobby and whining about how silly it is (Alex goes fishing, Nikki plays golf) but yet loving every second they get to spend with their s/o doing what they love. Also actually another couple they’re friends with kinda drags them hiking sometimes and they actually kinda like it, too.
6. What is/are their love language(s)? Actually probably it’s Quality Time for them both tbh (you could change my mind, tho)
7. Write a ~300 word love scene for them.
READ HERE
8. What were their first impressions of each other? ‘Yeah he’s a talented goalie, I wouldn’t mind to play in his defense .... oh shit is he smiling? He’s smiling. Oh fuck he’s so cute, I’m so gay, help. heLP’ – ‘Süle? Oh yeah, I’ve heard a lot about him. I mean, how could I have not? It’s in my job description to know about the best defenders. Can’t believe it took us so long to meet in person, tho. Nikki it is, okay. Wow, I’m .... is that a spark that I’m feeling? Sure, great idea, develop a crush on your first day on a new team, well done. Is it a crush? (a month later) yep, definitely a crush’
9. Have they made each other cry? with HAPPINESS, yeah
10. Write a ~300 word argument scene for them.
READ HERE
11. What causes them to fight? Genuinely can’t picture them fighting, but probably more like jokingly arguing about chores like who should take out the trash. Also football can cause a strain too, I mean, sometimes they lose games and either of them or both are partially to blame and while they’d never blame each other even if it’s true, the unspoken dissatisfaction hovering in the air between them can cause things to be quite awkward for a few hours and one night.
12. Do they have differing political opinions?
13. Name something they would never do for the other person. Lose any kind of game – as athletes they’re quite competitive, even when it comes to board games and the like. Tho they’re not above conceding when it’s obvious they loose.
14. What would be a dealbreaker? Sharing the other’s secrets to someone the other doesn’t trust enough, and also not liking pets (luckily they do)
15. What are traits they dislike in one another? Nikki gets a bit reckless sometimes. Drinking too much, doing vaguely dangerous things cause he’s excited and hyped with his friends (why the heck would you climb on that shed when it’s too high to jump down and you don’t have a ladder?? you already have bad knees, Nikki!) and Alex Worries, ok? Alex on the other hand can get quite broody and taciturn when he’s not okay, not sharing what bothers him even when Nikki asks. Nikki just wants to help, but being stubborn is a goalkeeper thing
16. If they broke up, what would be their opinions of each other?
17. What senses (sights, smells, feelings, etc). remind them of each other? Nikki thinks of Alex on windy but bright spring days, and whenever he smells his shower gel. Alex’ rumbling laugh causes the butterflies on his stomach to flutter their wings, and his bare hands when he just pulls his glove on seem to be made to be settled on Nikki’s arms, his shoulder, his waist. Nikki to Alex is a freshly cut pitch, petrichor raising from the streets in summer, warm coca cola from a bottle left outside and forgotten. He’s a sunrise, a smile flashed over the shoulder, a laugh shared with Leon, Jo, Serge, Thomas …
18. What would be their love motto?
19. If they could each write a single line in their marriage vows, what would they be? “Alex, you taught me everything I know about love. You taught to forgive, to move on and I found a forever home in you.” – “I feel the sun rise every time I hear your laugh, bean, I feel born anew every time I reach for your hand and you take it. I would still be adrift without it.”
20. What is a promise they have made to each other? That they will never let get football between them. No jealousy if one is called up for the NT and one isn’t. If they ever played for rival clubs, they wouldn’t let it get between them. If something happens during a game, it in the end won’t be a factor in their private life. It’s hard sometimes, cause they’re only human, but a vow to try and to resolve things is the best they can do, and they always do
21. How have they changed each other for the better/for the worse? They’re each other’s first boyfriend – Nikki especially has been disappointed/rejected when confessing his feelings before, so he’s really a bit reluctant when opening up to Alex, and Alex does everything he can to make him open up more again on that level and succeeds at it too. Nikki is just a constant sunshine in Alex’ life, who after announcing his transfer didn’t have the easiest time, so it’s really great to have someone who makes him remember the light-heartedness life can have when you spend it with the right people. And well, they both grow quite chatty around each other, and have been shushed by quite a few people who just want to sleep on the bus ride … (from here)
22. If their lives were what was originally intended at birth, would they have still fallen in love? Who can even tell? Who knows if they were both supposed to end up at Bayern. Who knows if they wouldn’t have had someone else from the beginning. When they were born, neither of their families probably expected to have a son-in-law instead of a daughter in law. But they’re happy with the life they got. Happy they got each other. Cause they won’t have it any other way anymore
23. Write a ~300 scene between them with no dialogue, only body language.
READ HERE
24. What is something they have each had to forgive the other for? Again, football, when either of them fucks up during a get. pride is a difficult thing to best, sometimes, but they’re learning
25. What moves do they know work on the other? Alex knows exactly how to let his voice dip, knows how to touch Nikki’s waist to make him know, knows what to say and when only uses his voice with deliberation. Nikki is a bit more thoughtless in his approach, often just communicating his appeal unbeknownst to him, because Alex loves him most in those moments when he’s just free, simply himself, laughing and smiling and so beautiful. He doesn’t need to do anything, really, tho if he does, a look is enough.
26. What are their favorite parts about physical affection/sex? Literally just being close and warm and at home and ofc the thrill of sharing that all not with a stranger you barely know but with someone who knows you inside and out :3 (pun fully intended, in this case)
27. Do they have any kinks/fetishes that they share? Nikki is really into Alex’ voice. Like really into it. That deep yet soft voice always makes his spine tingle and his stomach hop and other …. areas interested, as well :3c He also likes Alex’ back especially when it arches so delicately Alex really like Nikki’s tattoos, he’s absolutely fascinated by them and sometimes maybe even wishes Nikki had a few more – tho that’s not a kink really, is it. But they just complete the perfect package that is his boyfriend :’3 But no, in general they keep it pretty vanilla for now, just getting comfortable with each other, learning each other, studying with eyes, hands, lips
28. Write a ~300 fantasy one of them has about the other.
READ HERE
29. What are each of their signature foreplay moves? Alex whispers hushed words into Nikki’s neck, kisses his jawline, lets his hands ran up and down Nikki’s side, skilled, gentle yet insistent and talking of what’s yet to come, teasing and nipping before finally reaching down, creating the contact that Nikki wanted for so long. Nikki lets his hands simply rest on Alex’ hips, his shoulders, his heck, warm and familiar and hot and hotter with every second as he steals kiss after kiss before sliding down, sitting before him, leaning in …
30. Write a short exchange of dirty talk between them. “Alex?” “Bean?” “You look so good. Do you have any idea how good you look?” laughs “Bean, you’re drunk” frowns “Ok, maybe a little. But I love you, you know? I wanna lick you all over.” blushes a bit “Nikki, everyone’s looking.” “Nah, they’re all busy drinking. Dancing. Probably fucking in the storage closet, in some cases” he giggles. they both know who he’s talking about. he puts his chin on Alex’ shoulder “Wanna get out of here?” “Now?” “Hmm.” he kisses his neck, licks gently behind his ear “no one will care. please. let me.” “Yeah? Well, bean, then who am I to deny you” THIS SUCKS!!!
31. What do they love to do after sex? They often just lay there face to face, noses almost touching, eyes almost falling close as they exchange light, playful pecks, hands entwined, legs a tangled mess. It’s all really cute and mushy but they wouldn’t have it any other way – also! laughing!! There’s a lot of cheerful, content giggling especially in the afterglow as they are still entangled in the sleepiness and the amazing feeling of just being together. (from here)
32. Do they enjoy morning or night sex? They both quickly wake up in the morning, ready to face the day, but yet … there’s nothing better than half-sleepy morning sex, smiling and tasting the fresh air and each other’s morning breath because of the familiarity, the comfort of gazing upon each other drenched in the first sunlight, not hidden away by shadows. This is real. This is them.

What A Night // Part 2
Pair: Sweet Pea x Reader
Note: So i was thinking and with all the feed back i got for the first part I decided to do a part two for what a night.
WC: 1,156
The light shinning in through the curtains stung your eyes. You groaned burying your head under the pillow, which didn’t smell like your own. Your face scrunched up when you took a deep breath, ‘is that Sweet Pea’s cologne?’ you thought. Sitting up you realized you weren’t in your own bed, no, you were in Sweet Pea’s house, in Sweet Pea’s bed, in Sweet Pea’s CLOTHES.
“What the fuck?” You said out loud to yourself, rubbing your face. You looked around Pea’s bedroom, having only been in there once or twice. On the dresser was his bottle of cologne and hair gel and random things. On the floor were piles of clothes, clean or dirty you weren’t sure but knowing Sweet Pea, it was probably a mix. You looked down next to you and on the night stand were two picture frames, one with a picture of Sweet Pea, Fangs, Toni, and you, the other was a picture that you thought was long forgotten. It was from when you and Sweet Pea went to the drive in about two years prior. In the shot you were sitting on his lap, arms wrapped around his neck and your lips pressed to his cheek, and he was cheesing hard at the camera. You smiled at the memory. You stood up out of bed, grabbing the picture and walking out of the room. ‘Gotta ask him to make me a copy.’
“Hey Sweet Pea-�� you stopped at the foot of he couch something catching your eye in the mirror hanging on the wall. Upon further inspection you dropped the picture on the coffee table, startling Sweet Pea awake. “SWEET PEA WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE!” You yell, rubbing your neck harshly. Sweet Pea sat up chuckling.
“I believe the teens call them hickeys,” he said in a teasing tone, rubbing the back of his neck, looking up at you from his place on the couch. You stared at him in shock through the mirror. Your eyes widening, whipping around to face him.
“Did we...?” You trail off, pointing between the two of you. Sweet Pea’s eyes widened.
“No, no, we didn’t, but we did... uh we did get close, but you passed out when I was giving you those,” he briefly pointed to the marks on your neck. You closed your eyes and took a breath. ‘God how trashed was I?’.
“So we didn’t sleep together? But we almost did? What does that even mean?” You struggled to recall the events from last night, you vaguely remember Toni offering you a fifth shot, but after that it was a blur and a headache. You plopped down on the couch next to him.
“Well you got trashed so I said I’d take you home, but you insisted on coming here. Got to my room said it was too hot and lost the clothes you had on, I was respectful, but you provoked me,” he said quickly, with a playful glare as he mentioned the provoking. You felt the heat rise in your cheeks, ‘Jesus, why me?”.
“Don’t worry tho we just kissed, and well those.”
“We just kissed, how can I not remember kissing you?!” You were frustrated that you missed out on the perfect oppression to make out with him. According to him you did it, but thanks to the alcohol cloud, you remembered none of it. He raised an eyebrow, facing his body towards you now.
“I mean, I can always try to jog your memory,” Sweet Pea suggested like it was no big deal, like kissing you again was like hitting your shoulder to remind you how bad it hurt the last time he did. You sat speechless.
“I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet,” you whined, hands falling in your lap. Sweet Pea let out a laugh, tilting you head to look at him with his finger under your chin. He was still for a moment studying your features, he smirked a bit, eyes catching the marks on your neck. Pride swelled in his chest, giving him the gumption to lean in and capture your lips with his own. It took less than two seconds before all the memories of the night prior came rushing back. You moaned cupping his face pulling him closer. He wasted no time pulling you onto his lap, hands holding your waist tightly. Your hands found their way into his hair, toying with the strands at the base of his neck. Pulling away, your lips traveled down his jaw to his neck biting and kissing, leaving just as many marks on his neck as he did yours.
“Sweet Pea,” you leaned back to look him in the eye, “I wanna do something stupid today.”
“I’m stupid, do me,” he grinned up at you like he had been in the picture from earlier. You smiled, bringing his face up to meet yours half way. Sweet Pea slid his hand up under the shirt you had on pulling it up, you raised your arms letting him take it off and throw it some where in the small living room. Your hand ran down his chest, tugging on the hem of his shirt. He leaned off the back of the couch causing you to giggle and slide back on his legs. He quickly discarded his shirt and began to pepper kisses on your chest.
“Sweet Pea,” you gasped, he had unhooked your bra stripping it from your frame. The door to his trailer busted open and in came Fangs and Toni. You shrieked scrabbling to cover yourself with the blanket that Pea had used to sleep with. Sweet Pea’s eyes widened, a lot happened in thirty seconds, his two best friends walked in his house and you practically flew off his lap and into the blanket.
“Hey guys,” Sweet Pea laughed, Toni and Fangs stood there, jaws on the floor. Toni fixed herself first, a smirk resting on her lips.
“Pay up, I told you they’d gone home together,” Toni put her hand out to Fangs. He stomped like a child, taking out his wallet, putting a twenty in Toni’s out stretched hand. “Thank you.”
“You kids have fun and be safe,” Fangs winked, following Toni out of the door. Sweet Pea turned to you and you both broke out in laughter.
“Well that was random,” Sweet Pea climbed over you, pressing a kiss to your nose. You nudged yours against his cheek, pulled him down by the shoulders in a odd hug, but more like him laying on top of you.
“Are we more than friends now Pea?” You ask quietly in his ear. He thought for a moment. The silence making your heart clench.
“Yeah, yeah we are,” He grinned. Sweet Pea pulled up and kissed you softly once more before turning over, laying you on his chest. You both spent the rest of the day cuddling and kissing and maybe more.
——————————
An: TaDa hope you like it, thanks for the support!!💗

<3 Leon’s Crushes <3
It’s time to reveal this fuckboi athlete’s favorite schoolmates. This’s the top 15 in relative order of who he appreciates, physically at least. This doesn’t take into account their talents or their personality (for the most part, unless there’s some sorta weird tie). So really, this is just Leon’s rating of their physical appearance in relation to who he thinks gels well with his own looks.
Again, these are only canon DR characters and his schoolmates. OCs and crossover muses obviously ain’t listed here.
Tumblr media
Honorable mentions that were VERY close to 15th place but would be tied for 16th: Kirumi/Makoto/Komaeda (not his school outfit though)
15. Ouma. Leon isn’t necessarily super attracted to Ouma, but he does appreciate the look. This one’s one of the exceptions where he takes personality into consideration a bit too. Leon doesn’t mind the purple hair (though he will tease and say it’s octopus-like 100%), and he doesn’t mind the white and black outfit, but... It could use some more color. Mild attraction to looks, probably bigger attraction to personality and whimsy (he’d be placed higher if we took these into account more).
14. Shinguuji. Yeah, snakeboy’s on here. Leon appreciates the boy’s looks, what can I say? He doesn’t necessarily LIKE it or think they’re compatible, but Leon’s never really been shy of appreciating when people put time into their appearance, which Shinguuji does and is meticulous about. This one’s moreso a minor crush and appreciation for looking clean rather than an outright attraction since Leon and he don’t exactly... Gel well when it comes to their styles. Their voices on the other hand... *snickering*.
13. Fuyuhiko. Believe it or not, Leon does like the boy. Honestly, 99% of this is just Leon appreciates how great he looks in his style? The whole suit and tie thing, and vests... Yeah, Leon appreciates that hardcore. The only reason why he’s not higher is because Leon’s obviously intimidated by him slightly, moreso intimidated and concerned if he even tried to get anywhere near flirty with him. 
12. Kirigiri. Leon has a crush on her. The thing is, while Leon appreciates her style (and her hair, he loves her hair a lot actually). He’s also mildly intimidated by her for her usual silence. She might look amazing, but she also has that potentially cold and mysterious air about her that Leon can’t really place her higher on the list. The boy is chicken.
11. Saihara. Leon likes his look? What can I say. He might be a total dweeb and doesn’t really know how to pull off being ‘hot’, but Leon can get behind the clothes, the look. He doesn’t mind mostly black outfits anyway. He also digs the hat, but doesn’t want Saihara wearing it all the time obviously.
10. Mondo. Mmm. This’s also a pretty much bro thing, but the dude does look good. Leon’s never been bothered by his style and he really isn’t all that intimidated in the grand scheme of things. The hair’s a bit much for Leon, but the muscles and clothes more than make up for it for the most part. 
9. Hajime. Eh, this one’s not too surprising. Leon likes the way he looks, and appreciates his style, but the clothes are really too plain for Leon to place him higher. Like, try to get a style that better showcases your body and personality. Don’t look like a fatherly businessman running the 9 to 5 shift at the age of 17 dude.
8. Kaito. A part of this is moreso a respect thing. They have similar styles, and Leon loves Kaito a lot, sure. The shorter goatee loses a couple points with Leon though. Yeah, he’s petty like that. Leon likes his clothes and appreciates the muscle and the hair. But... Yeah that goatee knocked him down to 8th. Sorry space cowboy.
7. Sayaka. Can’t really deny this one. Leon’s legitimately attracted to her and while it’s questionable whether he falls for her moreso because of her idol side, I really just can’t deny the fact that Leon finds her attractive. 
6. Akane. Another obvious one. Athletic, super muscular. Leon likes her, and... Well I mean he basically falls for her in v3 and he can talk to her twice, to which she unintentionally baits a reaction outta him with ‘panties’. It’s hilarious, but yeah. On a looks level, Leon likes her.
5. Iruma. Y-Yeah... This is the obvious reason again. Leon isn’t blind; He knows how good looking Iruma is. And she makes that very apparent in how she speaks, even to him. Leon doesn’t necessarily like the way she talks, but since this is a list on physical attraction, she makes the top five.
4. Ibuki. Another fairly obvious one. She’s rad, she makes herself known in style. It’s unique, it’s exactly what Leon likes. Of course he’s gonna have a crush on the singer! There’s no strangeness here.
3. Junko. I mean... We all know how Leon is. Leon... Has a preference towards the female anatomy... To put it lightly anyway. Strictly ignoring her personality and, y’know, despair tendencies... Leon admits she looks amazing. I mean, she’s a model technically so... This makes a lotta sense for Leon.
2. Souda. Another obvious one. He gets everything he wants in Souda. A loyal boy that’s pretty much down for most things that Leon is. Souda’s pretty cute, got some decent muscle from all the mechanic stuff he does, and the dyed hair is actually really attractive to Leon, even if it’s pink. Leon likes him on a physical level, and if he wasn’t so dweeby... They’d be legitimately perfect. Bonus: Leon appreciates the shark teeth even though it makes kissing hard. 
Not that there’s any surprise, but read more for #1 anyway.
1. Amami. They’re pretty much both good looking, pierced boys that somehow have a knack for fashion. Leon DID take Amami’s personality into consideration too. He’d totally be down to just pick up and go somewhere like Amami does. Physical attraction, compatible styles (the piercings tho) and personality makes Amami Leon’s number one crush.

Dating Luhan Would Include...
Admin: Jade Masterlists
Tumblr media
ye im trying to get this stuff out asap
sleep? idk her also just a warning it took 2k+ to get to the actual dating part so be prepared for a lengthy one
okay so basically, you got a job as one of lu’s personal stylists
you were the only child of one of his managers which helped you get the job
but the other stylists didn’t like that
they thought you just got the job solely bc of your parent
which was wrong-- you had loads of experience with styling of all kinds
the other stylists, bitter, would either ignore you or ‘tease’ you
a lot
though, they’d make sure to not do it in front of your dad
and they tried with lu, but he ended up catching them
considering he sees you all every day
and the fact that he isn’t cold hearted
lu really didn’t like that
but every time he would confront them about it, they’d deny his accusations and act innocent
after like a month of this happening
lu, and you respectively, had enough
though, you’ve had enough the moment they started
anywhoodle
lu legitimately had them fired
all five of them
aka
his entire stylist crew (besides you)
when you came to work and were told ‘oh hey, the other stylists don’t work here anymore, you’re going to be on your own for a few days.’
you had no idea how to react
and lu could tell because he started chuckling while you were doing his hair
“is something funny?”
“your continuous confused look”
“hUh”
then he told you that the other stylists were fired
which you already knew
but when you asked why, he fibbed a bit
said ‘they weren’t doing their jobs properly’
when in reality they were all relatively good stylists
so you knew he was lying right away
that and because the tips of his ears turned red
you didn’t want to say anything
just in case you got fired too lmao
for the next few days, you were lu’s only stylist
it was okay generally, but when he had a major appearance onstage it was a bit of a hassle
that happened like five days after the rest were fired
at that point, you and lu had begun talking more than before
while you styled him, you’d talk about whatever topic that came to mind
to anyone else, it looked like you guys had been friends for years
when in reality you had only known each other for little over a month
bAcK to The StORy
he was scheduled to have a stage performance at 12:00
it was 11:55
and he wAsNt reADy
so you were freaking out, rushing around trying to get your makeup pallets and hair gel, etc.
luckily he was already changed so you didn’t have to worry about that
but his face and hair was bare (not that it matters he’s a viSuAL--)
he was so amused, watching you scramble about
despite his amusement, he was extra sure to be helpful to you, seeing how stressed you were
he stayed completely still and tilted his head when you asked
when he’d usually mess with you for a bit before complying
now he was just listening in silence, knowing you were not in the mood for a conversation
after you had messed around with his hair using the gel and his makeup was done
you went to fix his outfit
you kept your eyes down as you inspected lu’s clothes
your hands would reach out every now and them to make small touch ups or to smooth over the fabric
your parent / lu’s manager was yelling out the time left, which was two minutes
so you worked faster
once you were done, you stepped back to admire your work aNd make sure everything was in place
in the midst of your work, you didn’t notice the lopsided grin he wore
which hugely complimented the clothes you had chosen for him
he honestly thought it was cute, seeing you so engaged in your work
“time to go!” his manager/your parent called out, ushering lu away from you
after his performance, lu couldn't find you
which was odd, since he usually met with you afterwards
when he asked his manager where you went, they snickered
but told him anyway“[Y/N] went outside for a bit-- got a call from their friend.”
lu nodded and stayed put, not wanting to pry in on your conversation
tho, when fifteen minutes passed he was b o r e d
so he decided, why not, and went out to find you
it didn't take long before he could hear you
making his way outside, lu poked his head out the door
he could see you, leaning against a brick wall with your phone to your ear
you were smiling so widely as you spoke
lu was kind of just wide eyed
a part of him wanted to stay outside to see why you were smiling like that
but the other part of him knew that that’d be invading your privacy so he went back inside
as he walked off, he found himself thinking of that smile of yours
he was so confused as to why he was thinking of it
it was weird
he kind of wanted to be the one to make you smile so brightly
the moment he thought that he literally walked into a wall
which also happened to be the moment you walked in
he met eyes with you, face flushing at the fact that you were laughing
“glad to know my pain is amusing for you.”
“it always is,” you joked, walking passed him, patting his shoulder as you passed
lu followed in silence, face still warm as he walked
while the two of you walked in silence, he noticed you wore a troubled expression
right before you were about to enter the waiting room, he stopped you, gently turning you around
“is something on your mind?”
“what?”
“you’re thinking about something and you’re thinking about it hard. is something up?” he raised a brow
you were blank faced for a moment before you let out a nervous chuckle
“well,,, i was going to wait until i could talk to my-- your manager, bUt,,,” you shrugged hesitantly, “i wanted to ask for time off tomorrow.”
“tomorrow? as in, when i have an important interview?”
you shook your head fervently, correcting yourself. “no, no, i’ll be here to get you ready but i have somewhere i need to be a few hours after it”
lu nodded in understanding before ushering you back in to ask
tHe nExt DaY (smooth transition, i know)
you actually managed to get lu ready long before his interview
so you all had time to kill
lu was playing some game on his phone and you were just cleaning up your supplies
suddenly, you got another call -- this time, a video call
lu found himself looking up as you answered it, a small smile instantly making its way onto your face
lu, being a lil shit, decided it’d be fun to do some random stuff in the bg while you talked with whomever
so, he basically crouched past with some weird expression
“oh. my. gosh. [Y/N] is that...”
“what?”
you turned around and made eye contact with him, just as he was pulling another weird face
there was a silence -- not including the freaking out your friend was doing -- before you burst into laughter
lu, though slightly embarrassed, followed after
“you’re luhan!” your friend gushed, gaining his attention “omL i love you--”
same
lu smiled before kindly making his way off camera to give you and your friend some privacy
at least, he tried to anyway
your friend very ‘subtly’ whispered to you, “[Y/N], please, let me get an autograph oR meet him i bEg Of YoU”
you took one glance at him before hanging up the call
not long after your phone blew up with messages from your friend
‘i’ll try, okay [Friend] chILL’
shoving your phone into your pocket you narrowed your eyes at lu
he thought you were glaring so he clumsily pulled out his phone and attempted to look like he was on it the entire time 
“very subtle, lu.”
“thanks, i try.”
you scrunched up your nose, contemplating on whether or not you’d really try to get some sort of fan service for your friend
without thinking, you blurted out the first thing you could think of
“let’s make a deal.”
lu looked up, intrigued.
meanwhile, you were internally freaking out
because you didn’t even mean to blurt that out
raising a brow almost impatiently, lu looked at you with a small smile indicating his mirth
“let’s go out--” you stopped yourself, wanting to hit your head against a door, “wait -- no, i worded that wrong--”
while you fumbled over yourself, lu leaned back against the sofa, covering his face as he laughed
“i saw an arcade on our way here. whoever wins three games first wins and --”
you didn’t even get to finish before lu interrupted
“okay,” he agreed, leaning back as far as he could, “you have a deal. if i lose, i’ll go with you, meet your friend.” 
he smirked, “but, if i win, you owe me a favour.”
he looked up at you, curiosity shining generously in his dark chocolate hues
a small, contented smile graced his features, blossoming over his cheeks like a carnation in its peak -- beautiful in all its glory
you blinked, thinking over his proposition
with a sigh, you held out your hand
“deal.”
within the hour, your parent was driving you guys to the arcade, clearly amused at your ‘bet’
“wear these,” they said, pointing to the pile of masks and caps on the middle console that they had handy just in case, “even in a dark arcade, someone could recognize you and those people will assume things.”
you were basically clinging to the car door, shocked that you were about to mess around in an arcade with lu han
when you arrived, you wobbled out of the vehicle, fully equipped with a mask and a cap even tho you arent at all famous and no one would know who you are
lu was in similar attire
“let’s go over here,” lu suggested, pulling you by the wrist once you entered the arcade
your face and body in general got really warm, your eyes trained on his hand
he was completely oblivious to your internal freaking out, his eyes facing forward
when he stopped walking, you were in front of a giant set up
“it’s like a racing / snowboarding simulator,” lu explained, stepping onto the platform “whoever gets to the bottom first wins.”
you nodded, stepping onto the platform opposite of him
it was snowboarding, how hard could it be?
you were very wrong
lu beat you in a mere two minutes, when the average time was at least five minutes
“i play this sometimes with my friends,” lu explained with a cocky grin not that you could see it
you narrowed your eyes, “you’re playing dirty,” you accused, though you weren’t really annoyed.
without a word, you hopped off the platform and took lu’s hand, just as he had with you, and pulled him in a random direction
oh, how the tables have turned
now you were unaware of the flustered expression lu wore
you brought him to a shooting game, one you had played a few times before with your cousins and friends
while you were playing, lu kept sneaking glances at you, which distracted him from actually shooting anything
he thought it was cute, how excited and into the game you were
like ten minutes later, you were victorious
lu just accepted it, because there was no way on earth in which he’d admit that he lost because he thought you were acting cute
since we’ve reached the 2k mark, imma be really blunt until the actual dating part
oops
basically you spent the next hour playing a bunch of games
and, whoopdido, he won three games before you
you were kind of bummed out bc you could tell your friend seriously wanted to meet him
but, a deal was a deal so you took it
“before we go,” lu randomly began, “let’s go to the claw machines.”
a part of you got super excited bc you haven’t used a claw machine in forever
when you got there, your eyes landed on a vv cute plush
tho, tbh, you absolutely sucked at the claw machine
lu noticed right away which plush caught your attention and inserted a coin into it
you watched in aWe as he got it first try
wow what a god
“here,” he practically threw the thing in your face
“let’s go,” he said, not even waiting for you to catch the plush
you bounded after him, looking down at your watch
“what time are you meeting your friend?” he asked, watching traffic pass by
“in an hour or so.”
“then, let’s go get some dinner before then.”
you didn’t say anything and merely followed as he brought you to some lowkey café (i have an addiction to adding cafés into my bulleted stuff)
at this point i got distracted by everyong for like half an hour oops
by the time you were sat down in an almost empty café
there was like 45 min until you were going to meet up with your friend
you spent like five whole minutes trying to figure out how you were going to say ‘oops couldn’t get anything from lu han for you lol’
when you looked up, you noticed lu was just looking at you, resting his chin on his palm
“what’re you staring at?”
“you.”
no shit bro
you rolled your eyes, looking down at the small menu the café had out on every table
“you’re interesting.”
i beg your pardon, you thought
“usually, people are practically dying in my presence. you’re quite calm though,” he tilted his head. “you know, i think i like you.”
luckily, you weren’t drinking anything, because if you were you would’ve done a spit take
“w h a t ?”
lu merely smiled before asking what you wanted, as if he hadn’t just told you that he likes you
you just spat out the first thing you saw, which happened to be a carrot cake or smth
if you dont like carrot cake feel free to subsitute
you ate in silence both kind of unsure of what to say
you were still speechless over lu’s sudden confession
and lu was beating himself up for being so blunt
when you finished, lu was back to looking at you
you subtly wiped at your face, just in case you had somehow gotten food all over it
“do you really?” you asked, deciding that the situation couldn’t go that downhill. “like me, i mean.”
“... yeah.”
“okay.”
you almost choked -- who says ‘okay’ in this situation?
lu, on the other hand, was chuckling. “’okay’” he teased
you stuck your tongue out, leaning back in your chair
there was a pregnant pause before lu cleared his throat
“honestly, what -- what are your feelings for me? other than ‘okay,’“
you stared down at the table, biting your lip as you glued together words
“i-- i like you too, lu.”
in the back the cashier was lowkey eavesdropping
lu’s face broke into a smile, as he looked down to hide his growing grin
“that’s good.”
he looked down at his watch, standing up “then, let’s go.”
“what?”
“your friend wanted to meet me right? so, let’s go.”
“but,,,, i lost our bet.” // “you did, so you owe me a favour.” he grinned back at you, “but, i’m going to be a nice boyfriend and go with you anyway.”
“boyfriend?!”
lu merely laughed, grabbing your wrist for the umpteenth time and hauling you out of the café
somewhere along the way, you found yourself shifting your hand and interlacing your fingers with his -- a silent confirmation.
wOw that only took 2.7k to get to the legit point of this post
smh me
so, dates with lu don’t come often, but when they do they’re amazing
he’s always making sure that you’re comfortable, so they’re usually not in public places just in case ppl recognize him
the last thing he’d want was for you to get mobbed by fans
a lot of your dates are late at night, whether they be walks, dinner at your/his house, movie nights, etc.
he’s so sweet too
like he’s very open with his feelings for you (not completely, the world has no idea of your relationship yet)
any of your coworkers can tell that you’re dating
but no one says anything bc they know that they could get fired if lu so pleased
he wouldnt tho, unless given reason
anyway
the few times that your dates are public
lu will do the weirdest things to make sure you don’t get recognized/seen
if he spots anyone with a camera he straight up kisses your cheek
which works bc the person usually turns away
generally
he’s just so sweet during your dates
and otherwise, ofc
but he’s also still lu, playful and such
snowball fights in the winter are a regular thing
moving on
kissing
honhonhon i regret
your first kiss with lu was spontaneous
you were at the arcade again, on one of your late night dates
a few other people were in the arcade, but not near you guys
you were playing the shooting game again, something that became tradition for the two of you and--
“hey, [Y/N]?”
“yeah?”
you took one look at him and suddenly his lips were on yours in a soft, gentle kiss
your hands froze on the plastic trigger, your eyes wide
before you could even do anything, lu pulled away with mirth shining in his eyes
“i won.”
you whipped your head toward the screen, and lo and behold, the infamous ‘YOU DIED’ screen was showing
“lu,,, you little shit”
“you love me”
“sadly”
kisses with lu, in general, have like three settings
the first being quick pecks, when the two of you are in a rush
whenever he has to go onstage, he’s sure to give you a quick kiss, whether it be on the lips, cheeks, forehead, etc.
he really likes kissing you
the second are slow and sentimental
these usually happen during your lazier dates
like you could be watching a movie on the couch and suddenly your kissing no further than tHat
he’d be so sweet during these times, his hand automatically cupping your face and his other tracing circles on your hip, leaving trails of goosebumps
the third,,,
oh dear
are a bit rough in a sense
these are rare, but they will happen without warning
usually when he gets jealous or you push his buttons too much
they’re messy kisses, but he puts his all into them and it’s very obvious
i’m blushing now so that’s as far as we’re going w that
MOVING ON
fights with lu don’t come often
he hates fighting with you and vice versa
but sometimes the two of you just get really stressed at end up lashing out at each other
this usually ends in the two of you giving each other the silent treatment
which is so difficult considering you’re one of his stylists
the main one, at that
the other stylists, newly hired, get so awkward whenever you guys fight
because there’s this giant tension between the two of you and none of them know what to do or say
however, you can only ignore each other for so long
it’s very divided between who cracks first
sometimes lu does
sometimes you do
sometimes you both just end up apologizing at the same time
either way, you both talk everything out
and make sure that no stone is left unturned
he’d probably really like honesty in a relationship, so it’d be very important to be open with one another (as it is in every relationship)
these fights end with cuddling, most of the time
in which he brings you as close to his body as possible
and wraps his arm around your waist
he’d love it if you wrap your arms around his torso and play with the ends of his hair
speaking of
if you play with his hair, he is putty in your hands
he even only lets you do his hair professionally
“lu, please, the rest of the stylists--”
“no, only you.”
“you c h i l d istg--”
but you love him
on the topic
your first ‘ily’ came about a month into your relationship
during that time, lu was on tour
and right before a concert, you came down with a seriously bad flu
so you had to stay at the hotel
lu called you before the concert, nervous
“lu, you’ll do great”
“but what if i mess up--”
he was so nervous, despite having done stages so many times in his life
to him, it was odd, not having you there
you had become his rock
he also loved performing knowing you were backstage rooting him on
“lu, hun, you’ll do great. and i know you have to go up now considering it’s two minutes to your stage. i believe in you!”
he was still shaken, but he knew you were right. “alright, bye. make sure to drink your medicine, alright?”
“okay~ i love you, bye.”
you hung up
only then did you realize what you had just said
which lead to you rolling around on your hotel bed, screaming into your pillow
meanwhile, lu was staring into space, his phone still to his ear
had he heard you right?
“lu! you’re up, let’s go.”
he looked over at one of his managers, nodding before putting his phone away
he then did his entire stage with a huge smile on his face
this is almost as long as my regular scenarios
so imma just stop here
anywho, a relationship with lu would be heaven
he’d treat you like royalty, because in his mind you deserve the best
so in all
he would cherish you, and when the time comes, he’d brag about your wonderfulness whenever he could
he really would love you, and hopefully you’d do the same
:)
is it obvious who my ot12!exo bias is this was so close to getting to 4k im

WHOA BLACK CLOVER HAS AN ANIME NOW I GOTTA GO WATCH IT
Well, only the first episode for now but yeah!!! I can’t wait for my favs to show up aaahhhhhh!!!!!! 
Anon said:Omg, Kirishima, please teach me how to put on eyeliner, your eyeliner game is on point! (Seriously, tho, I love how you draw their eyes and how you draw Kiri in general. He seems so soft. Damn, Bakugou, I'm jealous that you can cuddle him)
THANK YOU!!!! And Kiri has really really pretty lashes in the manga too, doesn’t he? Bakugou too! They have seriously pretty eyes I spend a lot of time trying to get that right when drawing haha still not as good at Horikoshi tho after all, but what can we do~
Anon said:Every time I get a notification you posted something I get extremely happy! That's what your drawings did to me. How can one be so talented.
SOB thank you so much!! You being happy makes me happy so it’s happiness all around!!! What a good!!!
Anon said:Heey!! So I've been wondering... if Aizawa used his quirk on Hagakure would she become visible?? (Btw love your art)
Oh my what a question, I was actually talking about this not too long ago with a friend! And the conclusion ended up being that if her invisibility is a permanent mutation he can’t, but if she can turn it off at will then probably he can too! Right now we still don’t know how exactly Tooru’s quirk tho, so we can’t be sure which is the truth! (I like to think she can turn visible if she wants, but that’s just an headcanon with very little basis haha)
Anon said:Your erasermic art has blessed me 4ever thank u
NAH thank you for liking it and letting me know, man!!!
Anon said:I DIDNT KNOW YOU SHIP ERASERMIC OH MY GOD but seriously you're one of my favourite artists and the fact you like pretty much all the same things as I do is so amazing to me and it makes me so happy because I know that you may draw more of it in the future and I'll get to see more beautiful art if that makes sense lmao thanks for creating stuff 👌👌
Hahahaha yeah it’s one of my top ships in the fandom! Also the only one I read fics for aside from krbk I love them A LOT (and it’s all thanks to my sister who directed my attention towards them a long time ago now, thank you sis) so yeah I’ll definitely draw more of them in the future!!!! And thank you so much for liking my stuff!!!!!
Anon said:Hi! I just want to say I love your headcanon of Aizawa becoming a mentor/role model to Bakugou! Thank you for introducing me to that idea!
YOU’RE MOST WELCOME I’m just a huge huge huge fan of the Aizawa&Bakugou interactions and how much Aizawa cares for him and how much Bakugou respects and trusts him in return, so!!! I’m mostly just pushing on that canon stuff hahaha
Anon said:HORY SHEET BOYO THAT ERASERMIC SHIT IS GOOD SHIT
THANK YOU FRIEND!!!
Anon said:i came to love erasermic thru kiribaku tbh. like i saw erasermic fic in the kiribaku tag on ao3 and i read it for the bg kiribaku (kirishima was such a good boi in that fic ngl) and i was like hey erasermic isnt bad. then i saw your art of them comparing them and i was like hey this is good shit 😁👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 keep it up pal
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll t r y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O
Anon said:Do you think Kyoka and Katsuki could get along? Over their like for punkrock maybe, and their gayness. Kinda like Todoroki and Momo's talks about their tiny crushes.
WHY YES ANON I think they could be the bestest of pals, I’ve actually drawn them together now and again cause I like the idea of them being friends so much - a list of some of the things Bakugou and Jirou do together:
make fun of Kaminari (Kaminari feels attacked and liked it better when Jirou was convinced she didn’t like Bakugou)
share music recs and go to concerts together (when it’s big ones they particularly care for they stand in line The Whole Day and at first it used to be sorta awkward but now being together makes the hours fly)
mutter sass and snark under their breaths to themselves in class and without meaning make the other snort or have to hide an actual laugh (they sit next to each other in class did you know that that’s my fav thing tbh)
say “god, I’m so fucking gay” and answer “mood” whenever Kirishima and Momo, like, exist or do anything equally outrageous
sit next to each other with their phones in hand in silence and at the same time look up with an intense/bored/obviously-judging-sero-come-on-look-at-them expression whenever anyone walks past them (they’re actually playing bullshit app games)
play bullshit app games in co-op or having each other as friends to earn more rewards cause they have a No-Judging policy going on between them that makes sharing this sort of otherwise embarrassing stuff with each other okay
Anon said:Hi!!! I love your art and I just wanted to ask....what band were you referring to when you said Mic named him after the band "eraserhead"? Could you possibly be talking about the filipino band "Eraserheads"?
Yeah!!!!! Tho I’m sorry to let you down anon, but I haven’t actually ever heard much from them (justttt one song two days ago cause I got curious) - I found out about them while looking up the movie!
Anon said:I love how you draw mic with his hair in a bun. It's super cute
THANK YOU!!!! But I can’t really take the merit for that, since that’s how he actually wears his hair (more or less) when he doesn’t gel it up for his hero costume!
Anon said:What is your favorite kiribaku au? :D
Oh boy, I sort of love everything and anything I’ve ever seen/read tbh, I’m a HUGE AU lover!! At the moment to anything with the fantasy AU (and dragon!Kiri is always a super welcome plus) is gonna make me go :O !!!!!!!! hahaha so maybe that, who knows! It’s for sure the one I think about the most!
Anon said:Hellooooo i love your art so much? Especially the bakushimas oh my god (also do you plan on drawing more soul eater *coughs*-deathstar-*coughs* in the future?) Have a good day!!
THANK YOU! And I dunno, maybe! If inspiration strikes, why not!
Anon said:hey guess what i just did... went through your ENTIRE art tag (all the way back to the knb and one piece), i found it really cool to see how your art has developed and see what your fav ship is at a certain time (and how you always come back to bokuroo)
Ah man thank you for spending all that time on my blog hahaha I wouldn’t say I always go back to bokuro though? It’s more like... whenever the manga brings the bokuros back I’m ready to start hyping all over them again hahaha my bokuro periods always happened while they were doing things in the manga, after all~

SORRY maybe you already noticed but I added the link in the description! 
Anon said:have you ever thought about if eri-chan can... erase her own quirk?? and would how they might handle it
Actually that’s the first thing I thought when Mirio got his own erased... well, it still depends on what exactly Eri’s quirk does? We sorta assumed she had the same quirk as Chisaki, but they aren’t actually related so who knows? I sure hope she can fix the damage done on Mirio, tho!

Anon said:Do u have any, idk idea about traitor!Kaminari? I just imagine how would others react? I think it's hella sad, and still Denki never wanted this, something just go wrong in his life and it's breakin my heart... ARGH, sorry for interrupt you with something like that...
It’s okay, don’t worry about that haha but I can’t say I find the theory possible in the least, so I haven’t really spent time thinking about it at all? I mean, I can imagine it would be full of angst and regrets and a lot of tears and anger mostly from his close friends, but since I just can’t believe this theory I can’t say I have anything specific I can give you on this orz sorry!
Anon said:Who's get jealous and possessive between bakugou and kirishima?
Actually I dunno man, are they possessive and jealous? I feel like they both would like it when the other told them stuff like “I’m yours” or “you’re mine”, but being there complete and utter trust between them they wouldn’t actually be jealous or act in a possessive way... does that make sense? At most I think they’d be insecure in the beginning of their relationship, but once they managed to make it clear that yes, you’re the one I want, no one else, just you then they would have little to no problems in that sense haha
Anon said:So many people seem to misunderstand bakugou and I just really like how you portray him. Good characterization and good art! 💖✨
SOB THANK YOU !!!!! this means the universe to me oh g o d s!!!!
Anon said:Wait!! This isn't your main blog? Omg how did I not know this. What is your main blog (if you're willing to let people from this blog follow it haha)?
AHHHH yeah I have a main one this one is just for my doods!!! the main is @franeridan, if you wanna follow it! I’m mostly just crying over bakugou and kirishima and complaining a whole damn lot about... everything, tho hahaha
Anon said:I'm not the anon but u know the concept that kiri n Baku would meet when they were younger and when Baku was more... violent? (i know that's not the right word, I'm not a native speaker sorry!) Like I think kiri could actually make Baku less of a bully? Considering how much positive impact he had on his personality AFTER it already developed (like idk if this ask makes sense? What do u think?) ◇ (btw putting smth like ◇ was a genious idea ty, idk if u remember that ask tho?)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!! Actually I’ve been thinking about this A LOT in the past couple of days and my conclusion ended up being that the key would be either for Kirishima to know Bakugou since they were really young OR for him to not attend Bakugou’s same middle school? Like, if they developed their personalities together, having someone like Kirishima around since they were kids could have made Bakugou develop differently, but if we go with the “they met in middle school” scenario then I think Kirishima would have had the same sort of...soothing? Effect on Bakugou only if Bakugou didn’t see him as a threat to his dream of being the only kid from that middle school to enter UA. Well, a scenario in which they had known each other since they were small young babies and Bakugou reached middle school going “the only one from this middle school to enter UA is gonna be me and Eijirou”, that would have been hella cute wouldn’t it hahaha growing up with a notion of us instead of just me would have changed Bakugou a lot, I’m pretty sure :D
