* I got scared I thought that I skipped an episode or something because of how suddenly it started
* Armand is so fucking annoying oh my god like shut up
* Also Louis being visibly uncomfortable while Claudia is doing her performance knowing the song reflects her perfectly (wanting freedom, being pinned down, her infantilization, freedom only being momentary and only permanent in death) ALSO the repetition in her doing the performance over and over again reflecting on the repetitive cycle of Louis and his bullshit but also the way that even when theyâre in a different place, sheâs still are not happy and they eventually have to leave and start over again. You can also just tell she knows the cycle of Louis throwing himself at someone else and picking them over her is starting again
* Santiago is literally just twink death he reminds me of that old gay guy that shoved Britney broski at that Charlie XCX concert just to have his moment on camera
* I kind of find it interesting that Armand speaks over Louis cause it really seems like heâs projecting on Claudia. I think he sees himself in her as they both are stuck in their past that they canât get away from. But at least Claudia is interesting so Idgaf about him
* The way everyone else is noticing Armandâs favoritism for Louis too like no wonder your coven is falling apartâŚ
* I still think Lestat is funny but then I remember that there isnât gonna be anything funny about the last few episodes
* âLouis are you schizophrenic?â âNođâ the way he says it makes it so obvious that he doesnât even believe what heâs sayingđ
* Daniel having flash backs is stressing me out
* The two neurons in my mind connected, both Claudia and Armand share that same second choice feeling when it comes to Louis choosing someone else over them (Louis chooses Lestat over Armand and Louis chooses his love interests over Claudia) idk how I didnât see that before I knew they were similar some how
* That scene where Santiago catches her writing in her diary lowkey makes a good point though cause Louis is not even making sure Claudia is being safe or cautious anymore cause heâs so busy with Armand and his Lestat hallucinations
* CLAUDIA AND MADELEINEâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
* The way they lowkey hate each other but know that theyâre exactly what theyâre looking for
* Armand stirring the pot by putting photos from other artists in Louisâs portfolio is so petty đ you can tell him and Louis are only together because they hate being alone like they disagree about everything. Also I donât really get why Louis was so embarrassed about that he was being so extra.
* âYouâre making love to me, and you think itâs wrong to look at meâ AS THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN THE MIRRORâźď¸
* Madeleine is kinda the opposite of Louis, she doesnât really mind being alone and also doesnât get overly attached easily which is probably so refreshing for claudiađ
* Armand better get the fuck away from Claudia. Also he doesnât do shit like he wonders why the coven is falling apart like he isnât forcing everyone to do everything while he messes around and does nothing (also sort of connected to his past of being enslaved and being controlled)
* The way Louis uses Claudiaâs desire to find other vampires against her to put the blame on her for even wanting to find community while in reality itâs him that ruins everything,,,, is pissing me off badâŚ
* âThat doesnât sound like himâ girl go kys you are literally the problem. âYou picked the coven, You left me!â WHEN DID SHE LEAVE YOU??? Like am I missing something??? she never left him for a second but left her the second he saw a replacement for Lestat⌠please kill this man immediately.
* âThe wilderness that is our daughterâ reminds of the line âis there anything so undoing as a daughterâ from arcane
* even before watching the first season, I just knew I was gonna hate everyone in season two except Claudia and madeleineđ
This is so long sorryđ
THE SANTIAGO COMMENT IS SO SPOT ON IM GAGGED
Louis is literally always busy with either Armand, Lestat (hallucination or not) or Daniel đđđ
YOURE SO RIGHT CLAUDIA AND MADELEINE đŁď¸đŁď¸
And tbhh yeah Louis was being soo pretentious with the photographs like who gives a fuckkk and Armand was just trolling or something
LITCHHH LOUIS WAS BEING SUCH A HYPOCRITE ITS CRAZY
#also Iâm sososo sorry for replying to this now đ#I saw it yesterday after leaving the cinema but I was I too tired to reply đ#interview with the vampire

Hello! Congrats on your new milestone! For the movie event I am requesting đŁđđ°with either Gojo or Nanami. Thanks so much and congrats again!
hi! thanks sweet! i hope you like it and thanks for participating!Â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
action + couple + mafia feat. Satoru Gojo
cursing, blood, violence, kidnapping!
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âWhere?â He asks. The sunglasses heâs wearing make his looks even more intimidating. The man under his gaze is trembling, his hands tied up in both  sides of the chair.Â
âi-I donât know, Gojo.â The man says. Gojo clicks his tongue and looks at the man again, close, taking his sunglasses down. His clear blue eye looking directly to the man.
âIâll ask one more time. Where?â his voice seems different. Heâs angry. No, heâs definitely furious.
âI donât know. Only my boss knows wh...âÂ
âToo much talking. Shut him up.â Nanami nods and Satoru walks around. He knows they kidnapped you, and he needs to know where you are. His hands impact against a near wall. âFuck!â
It was just a moment. You where sleeping on his bed, all pretty and quiet. He got a call from Gakuganji, so he left the room. When he came back, after ten minutes, his bed was empty and the big window he closed yesterday to avoid your body getting cold was wide open. He called Nanami, who said that he didnât saw you. After that, he worked hand to hand with Takuma , and he found a man in the security cams. It was easy for Nanami to search that one. Unfortunately, he appears alone, as if he was just a lure to cover the real crime: your kidnapping. Gojo revised all the security cams, he called you a hundred times and tried to search between his contacts someone that wouldnât doubt to harm you to manipulate him. That night, Megumi came late home. He found Gojo sitting on a chair in the main salon, his white hair down and his glasses on the table. Also, he wasnât wearing his blindfold. Megumi got closer to him, taking off his earbuds.Â
âEverything fine?â He asks. Gojo looks at him, his eyes red because of the tiredness and the incansable search. Yuji enters behind him.Â
âHi, sensei!â he says, but his tone changes when he finds Gojo alone. âWhereâs y/n?â he asks. Itâs difficult to find Gojo without you, specially on this kind of lazy evenings when he usually is at home. Gojo looks up to them, the two boys inquiring with a curious gaze.
âI donât know. Someone just took them away from me.â The adult says. Yuji looks concerned to Megumi, that is frozen. They took you away from him? From the most powerful man out there? They had the courage to do it?Â
Since you and Gojo started your relationship, several years ago, Megumi always saw in you someone to rely on. He liked to talk to you and you liked to spend time with him. You also know how proud of him Gojo is. How he always smiles whenever Megumiâs name is heard.Â
You know the two of them have a really close bond, as if they were family. Also, heâs really close to two new students of the dirty negotiations of the mafia: Nobara and Yuji, the boy with the tattoos. they are there to learn how to negotiate, how to make things really money-maker business. Thatâs his work, after all. He also shows them how to fight, how to take care of themselves in difficult operations.
âThey kidnapped y/n?â Yuji asks, his eyes open with surprise. Megumi remains silent while Gojo nods, waiting to hear the story. Gojo tells them, without entering in too much details. Saying that youâre no longer next to him makes it even more real and painful. Megumi listens and analyzes every word he says. Yuji looks at his sensei, concerned. Megumi talks while he takes out his phone, calling Nobara.
âCall Nanami. I think we have to beat up a blue-haired bastard.â
Megumiâs brain worked as fast as ever while Gojo talked. His mind found one person capable of doing that thing: Mahito, the mafia leader that was behind you all this time. Since you have choose Gojo, Mahito never accepted that. So, he decided to kidnap you. It was crystal clear for him. Gojo calls Nanami as fast as he can, and Nanami agreed to take Nobara with him. Thatâs how the man and the girl arrived together.
âWhatâs the plan?â she asks, taking off her jacket. âIâm up to everything since that asshole took my best friend far from me.â
Nobara loved to take you with her and go shopping or to the cinema. She always complains that the only one who does that is Maki, and she needs to be in a good mood. So, finding you taking some tea for Gojo after his classes makes her pout to him if you can accompany her, having always the same response.
âThat doesnât depend on me, have you asked y/n if they want to go?âÂ
Gojo isnât overprotective towards you, even tho he always tries to have an eye of you, because he knows how dangerous it can be for you to be the partner of a mafia head. But, even when he was praying to end early his classes to be with you, giving you a hundred cuddles and a lot of attention, Nobara was always behind you to ask permission. He couldnât say no -after all, it was your decision, and you also needed to have a life apart of him.- but he was wiling on the inside to hear a no form your mouth.
It rarely happen, since you felt a lot of sympathy towards the only first-year girl.
Now, as Yuji and Megumi, she was ready to risk all to take you back. To them. To him.
Megumi has been to the Mahitoâs place before, in another mission, when he was just eleven. Gojo thought that taking it with him could be a nice training for the boy, and it was. He learned how to pick doors and give side-kicks.Â
âYuji, Nobara and I will bother and, if necessary, kill the guards outside. Nanami can help you inside. I put an alarm in our group chat. When Gojo leaves the radio of 1 kilometer from the mansion, we all run. Weâre faster than his guards, theyâre big and less quick. Theyâre made for using strength, not for running. Â Weâll reunite in the backyard.â
They all nod. Once they are there, Gojo enters quietly, using the balcony to go up fast, followed by Nanami.
âSearch Y/N.â Nanami whispers once the two of them are up. Gojo is forcing the window. âIâll make guard.â
Gojo nods and enters. Nanami takes out his short dage. Mahitoâs room is in front of him. Youâre inside, sitting on a corner, the blue haired man looking at you with a creepy smile.
âIâm not going to bite you. But I guess you like it, since Gojo likes to mark all his fucking toys.â The way he was talking, cursing and joking, with such a smile made things even more creepier. Itâs true that Gojo liked to give you hickeys, and you thought that letting him mark you last night, in such a place like your neck, wasnât a help now. Mahito let out a little laugh. âI guess someone came to help you. Should we receive him as he deserve, hm?â
Mahito takes a little knife he has on his desk. You know perfectly that Gojo doesnât has weapons. He always fights only using his strength and known marcial arts techniques. You didnât like that about him, how he was sure he didnât need a weapon because âheâs the strongest.â But well, he won all the fights he has been into, so maybe he is the strongest.
Gojo opens the door quietly, without showing any hint that heâs nervous and desperate to have you between his arms again. Mahito lets out a little laugh.
âHere you are, Gojo Satoru.â
Gojo smiles quietly, a superior smile that was always followed by one of his kicks. This time wasnât different.Â
His long leg impacted against Mahitoâs, taking him to the ground, and making him lose his knife. Gojo steps on his hand when he tries to reach the knife.
âSuch a good weapon for a bad assassin.â Gojo says. The knife shines. Gojo looks at you.
âLove, could you look to another place? I have to teach him how we treat trash like him.â
You werenât seeing, but you could hear the kicks and the spits of Mahito on the ground, probably taking blood out of his mouth. The fight ended sooner that you thought, and you felt a soft caress in your head. When you looked to the front, Gojoâs body covered Mahito. He looked at you in the eyes, taking his blindfold apart a little bit. You felt like home when your arms found his neck.
âAre you okay?â he asked. You nod, crying. He was there, and you where with him again. He kisses your head.Â
âYes.â
âLetâs go home, then.â Taking you on his arms, Gojo makes his way home. The rest appear not long after, all tired, but smiling just knowing youâre safe again.
Gojo invited all of them to have dinner, but you decided to go to bed. Thatâs how Nanami ended as a host of a dinner he didnât organize and taking care of some teenagers. Gojo sits on his side of the bed, near you, and your body leans to find his.
âI was so scared. I thought Iâve lost you.â he says, his voice being even less than a whisper. âI didnât kill him. You know thatâs not my style. And my priority was having you back.â He looks at you again, how your eyes start to drop tears. He kisses you so sweetly and softly that you donât want it to end.Â
âI was also scared, but you saved me. Thanks.â he smiles, passing his thumb on your cheeks.
âIâll save you the times you need it, my loveâ

Try (Modern!Hvitserk/Reader)
A/N: Hello! Sorry for not posting this yesterday, my grandma was at the hospital and then I stayed with her the entire day and didnât have my laptop :( I'm really sorry! I managed to finish it now, though. I want to apologize because this took me an entire week (I was writing Neon Lights part 2 but as I couldn't keep writing, I started writing this... and when I couldnât write this, I wrote another one) and itâs not even close to what I really wanted to do. Itâs shit. I wanted to write for Hvitserk and Iâd like to write more fluff/emotional themes, because I feel that I suck at writing these things. Anyway, I had this request and I thought I'd try to write it. It turned out to be more angst than fluff, but I hope itâs okay. Btw dear anon I hope youâre feeling better now and that you like thisđ  Thank you for the request!
Btw, I also wrote an Ivar fic (another request) that I will post tomorrow if I donât think itâs shit when I edit it. And I'm trying to write Neon Lights too, but for now itâs two am, I'm crying and I need to sleep a bit because I'm waking up in like five hours. Iâll answer all the messages and asks tomorrow! Thank youđĽ°
Warnings: my block, my bad writing, angst, fluff, Iâd like some cuddles too, mentions of sex and alcohol.
Words: 2483

This was supposed to be your night. You were supposed to go out and have fun, to drink and dance until you couldn't stand. And then you'd go back home and snuggle under the covers of your bed cuddling him, with his soft breathing on your neck and his arms around you.Â
Instead, you were at home. Staring at your own reflect on the dark window as it rained outside. You felt stupid, a fool. Like an innocent girl that just had her heart broken by her crush.Â
Your phone vibrated next to you for the third time in less than half an hour, but you didn't even bother on looking at the screen. You knew who it was, and the last thing you wanted was to hear his voice.Â
Your eyes fixed on the bouquet you had received earlier. So many soft pink lilies that made you hurt even more, you didn't even read the small note attached to them. They were beautiful and delicate, and some of the petals had fell down to the floor. Drying your tears with the back of your hand, you looked back to the window. You didn't even know what you were waiting for.
And then someone knocked at your door. You tensed up and gasped as you heard your name being whispered at the other side of the wooden door. The voice you didn't want to hear ever again made you sigh and rub your eyes.Â
"Please, Y/N, let me in, I need to see you"
His voice sounded broken. You kind of enjoyed hearing him beg, he deserved it.Â
Five minutes later, he knocked again. You let a couple of tears fall down your cheeks in silence as you looked at the door.Â
"I promise I will leave you alone" he sighed at the other side "I just need to... See you"Â
You stood up, walking slowly to the door. You took a deep breath before opening it.Â
He seemed surprised. His green eyes were puffy and reddened, he had obviously been drinking. You couldn't help but worry about him, holding yourself back from hugging him tightly.Â
"Hi" he muttered, taken aback.
"Hvitserk" you said his name softly "What do you want?"Â
Suddenly, Hvitserk seemed to forget why he had dragged himself to your door. His eyes fixed on yours on a silent plea. He didn't know what to say, he had never apologized to anyone, and even if he had hurt a lot of people during his life he never cared about their feelings.Â
"Y/N" your name left his lips in a whisper "Can I...?"Â
You looked away from him, but nodded slowly and let him enter your house. Hvitserk walked slowly, almost as if he expected you to push him out again and close the door. He ran his hand through his honey colored hair, ruining his already messy bun.Â
"I never meant to hurt you"
You crossed your arms on your chest and sniffed. The vivid images of him kissing that blonde girl in the middle of the club made your heart clench again.Â
"I swear, Y/N, I don't even know why I did that, I..."Â
You shook your head, rubbing your eyes tiredly. Â
That day you had had a fight.Â
Hvitserk wasn't fond of fighting, usually he'd just let people yell and talk until they got tired and left him alone. It had worked with Sigurd and with Ivar his whole life. He didn't like to argue, and had learnt to control his temper from Ubbe.Â
But even if he wanted to be more like Ubbe, sometimes he felt more like Ivar.Â
Hvitserk liked you, he'd lie if he said he didn't. But he didn't imagine he'd end up so attached to you. Suddenly, he wasn't interested on the beautiful girls that approached him on the clubs, he stopped visiting Ubbe and Margrethe's house, he didn't hit on girls on the pubs... The fact that he only could look at you scared him. And then you confronted him about your feelings.Â
He didn't want a girlfriend, he didn't want to settle down and fall in love, he was too young for that, he wanted to live before finding a woman and having children.
And then you came and said the magic words.
I think I love you, Hvitty.Â
That had scared him. He didn't know how to react and his silence alarmed you. Then Hvitserk got out of bed and put his clothes back on. And a couple of tears rolled down your cheeks as you stared at him.Â
At least you could say something, you had said softly. He had turned to look at you, panicking. Why was so hard to tell you what he had been telling every single girl he had met?Â
"We only fuck, we're not a couple or anything"Â
That made your heart break. Hvitserk frowned when he saw you crying, but didn't try to comfort you either. And the fight started.Â
You knew about his reputation, you knew he wasn't looking for a girlfriend, but those months you had spent with him made you think that maybe he felt the same way you did. He took you to his apartment, he introduced you to his brothers, he invited you to dinner and then the both of you went clubbing and ended up in bed. After a few weeks he didn't leave before dawn, and you'd wake up between his arms, with your head on his chest.Â
And his rejection hurt so much.Â
But you didn't give up. You were willing to keep seeing him even if he made very clear that you'd never be a couple. You were too addicted to him, so that night you texted Ubbe and asked where were they. You weren't surprised when he texted you the name of Hvitserk's favorite club.Â
What you didn't expect was to find Hvitserk nearly fucking with a blonde girl in the middle of the club.Â
That hurt even more than his words, the fact that he was able to go out and fuck someone else when you couldn't even look at another man after being with him was devastating. You realized Hvitserk didn't have any kind of feelings for you, just lust. You were his little fuck toy and as soon as it got a bit more complicated, he just moved on.Â
So you decided to forget about him, even if he ran after you, even if he yelled your name and tried to stop you as you walked out of the club. Even if he sent hundreds of texts, flowers and even a giant teddy bear. You were no one's plaything.Â
"I do know why you did it" you muttered "Because everything's a game for you, Hvitserk, you only think about yourself, about your own fun and your life, you never stopped to think about my feelings, or anyone's feelings, you just want to party, drink, smoke and fuck, that's life for you" you spat.
He seemed taken aback by your answer, you expected for him to get angry, as people usually did when you said the truth to their faces.Â
"You're right" he blinked a couple of times, this time you were the one surprised "You made me realize that, these past days... I think I never missed anyone as much as I missed you"Â
You didn't expect that. You expected he'd excuse himself and then proceed to apologize poorly, surely believing you'd go back to him as soon as you'd hear a couple of nice words.Â
"I... I'm supposed to apologize now, Ubbe said that" he muttered as you just stared at him. His eyes fixed on the bouquet of lilies on the table, he sighed and rubbed his face "I don't know how to do it, to be honest, I know you don't want anything to do with me, I respect that, I would probably do the same" he shrugged "But I needed to tell you"
He paused again. It was the first time you saw Hvitserk Lothbrok nervous, and maybe in another context you'd think it was cute, but now you could only feel that it was a goodbye.Â
"I've never been with someone for so long" he continued "Usually, it was a one night stand, you know, maybe I'd see them a couple of times more if I liked them, but I never went to the cinema with anyone, or to have dinner, I never introduced anyone to my brothers, and I never stayed for breakfast, I suppose I never did it because I didn't feel the need"Â
You felt your eyes tear up again, remembering all the moments you spent with him.Â
"I knew it, I knew it would happen" you shrugged "Every night I went to bed all alone, I wondered if you were fucking someone else, or if you couldn't even look at other people, like me"
"I wasn't with anyone else for months, Y/N" he assured you, sighing "That day I... I was confused, and scared, and I needed to get you out of my head"
"Scared of what?" You felt the need of hitting him on the face.Â
"Y/N, I never felt anything like this, with anyone" he frowned "You need to understand me too, I saw my parents getting divorced and I saw my mother losing her fucking mind after that"
Your expression softened a bit. You knew Hvitserk's childhood had been far from perfect, it was one of the few things you knew about his life. He wasn't very open with it, but after getting drunk and having slow sex, he had opened a bit to you, you had respected and appreciated that.Â
"But what do you feel?" You nearly sobbed in desperation "You're obviously not in love with me, because you made out with someone else"
"I don't know" he rubbed his eyes again "I just know that I miss you, that I want to keep seeing you, and that I regret being an idiot and a coward"
You stood silent, biting your lip. A part of you already forgave him, even if the other part knew you shouldn't. You couldn't help it, you forgave him as soon as you opened the door and looked at him. He had to care about you, right? He came to your house, he apologized, a concept that Hvitserk Lothbrok wasn't very familiar with.Â
His green eyes fixed on yours, and he frowned when he saw the tears running down your cheeks again.Â
"Don't cry" he whispered, approaching you slowly, waiting for you to move away from him.Â
You let him hug you, sighing in comfort when you hid your face on the crook of his neck. You inhaled his smell, oh how you missed waking up with him.Â
"You're an asshole, Hvitty"Â
He chuckled against your hair, and you smiled softly.Â
"I am, but I never meant to hurt you" he repeated "I swear, you don't deserve that"Â
"Then don't do it" you muttered "I missed you"
Hvitserk kissed your temple and immediately felt that warmth on his chest that he had been trying to ignore for weeks. Was that what Ubbe spoke about when he said he wanted to marry Margrethe?Â
"I still haven't forgiven you"Â
"Okay" he smiled "What should I do, then? Are you hungry?"Â
You shook your head, moving away from him and taking his hand.
Hvitserk knew the way to your bedroom very well, he lost the count of how many times he had walked down that hallway drunk and with you between his arms. This time it felt different, though. He always got excited whenever entering a girl's bedroom, but this time was more intimate, this time he didn't rush to take your clothes off and lay you down on the bed. He stopped and stared at you as you laid down. The bed wasn't made, and you didn't even bother to cover yourself, just looked at him and patted the bed next to you.Â
Hvitserk laid beside you, his fingers caressed your cheek and you looked away.Â
"You're pretty" he smiled, realizing he had never told you just how beautiful you were.Â
"Nice words won't fix shit, Lothbrok"Â
Hvitserk chuckled, nodding.Â
"I know, I just wanted to tell you"Â
You held back a smile as your eyes scanned his face. The first time you met him, you wondered how he could have such genes; all of his brothers were handsome, his whole family was beautiful, but he had something else, like a light. He had that charm, that big smile that could brighten up an entire room. You just wished he smiled a bit more.Â
"Promise me we'll try" you muttered. It was the first time he could remember being in a bed with someone without having sex.Â
"You know I'm not good with these things" he sighed.
"But you can try" you frowned. Hvitserk moved to hug you again.Â
"I know nothing about relationships, Y/N" he muttered "I don't even know what to do, Ivar knows more about this than me"Â
"Then we should ask Ivar" you bit your lip with a small smile.Â
Hvitserk closed his eyes and brought you closer.
"Ivar would probably tell me I'm stupid, and then roll his eyes and tell you that you should move on, that I'm not worth it"
You raised an eyebrow.Â
"I think you're worth it" you shrugged.Â
"Really?"Â
"Yes, if I didn't think so I wouldn't have opened the door"Â
Hvitserk stayed silent.Â
"I was never worth it for anyone" he frowned "Everyone enjoys spending time with me but at the end of the day... Margrethe chose Ubbe, like my mother chose Ivar, and my father chose... To leave" he scoffed "So when you said you loved me I... It's the first time I heard that"Â
You widened your eyes, raising your head to look at him.Â
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah" he chuckled "I think that's why I'm so afraid"
You leant in to kiss him softly. Hvitserk closed his eyes and smiled against your lips. You tasted salty, the result of all the tears you had shed that evening, but he didn't care, your lips were as soft as he remembered, and he found himself not wanting to kiss anyone but you. His arm sneaked around your waist and he pulled you closer, his free hand caressed your neck as your lips moved against his faster. You moaned and he sighed.
You broke the kiss and pressed your forehead against his.Â
"I would tell you every single day" you muttered "We can try, right?"Â
Hvitserk stood silent for a couple of seconds, but then nodded softly, he had made that decision when he walked to your door, abandoning that amazing party that he was supposed to attend with you.Â
"Yeah" he whispered softly "We can try"

Bye, Drew..
Some..angst, I guess? A forced fic by a friend who advised me write a happy, fluffy fic for this ship but also told me to make sad fic for the same ship. The friend is either high, crazy or indecisive ... or all three.Â
Summary: Roman and Drew are boyfriends who share house together, but one day Drew gets a new job in a new town. Drew moves out, and soon Roman is forgotten.
More to Romanâs p.o.v.
(16/12/20)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was waiting for this day to arrive. They had planned it days earlier. Roman was going to see Drew later after work. They wanted to go watch a movie together. They rarely had times to see one another ever since Drew got a new job outside of town and had to move out of their house.Â
Drew would text him everyday, reminding him to eat and to rest. Roman would do the same thing. They did not have to wait for the other person to text first, they would just randomly send out a text. Ever since Drew moved out, Roman did not offer to rent out a room to any of his friends. He wanted the house all to himself. It was the house Roman and Drew used to share anyway.Â
First couple of weeks had been rough for Roman. He would come home to an empty house, prepared dinner for himself and watched TV while waiting for Drewâs replies. They rarely met outside, Drew lived an hour away from him. Roman was often busy with his own work too. They were both busy with their own schedules but they would make sure their partners were well.Â
Roman did not notice it at first, how Drewâs replies became shorter, how Drew would take longer time to reply to his text. The Samoan told himself that Drew just got the job, he had to perform well for the company so Drew could be extra busy. Roman, however, never stopped sending him texts. He was not bothered by Drewâs late replies at first. Soon, Drew would hardly send him a text. Roman would wait for days but still nothing from Drew. Is he okay? Is he sick? Roman was always the mother hen in their relationship so he would easily get worried about Drew.
Roman would ask Drew if he could call him? Just to hear his boyfriendâs voice for few minutes, but Drew would give him excuses after excuses to avoid any calls. When Drew did agree to have a video call with Roman that night, Drew looked distracted, tired and cold. It was Roman who had been asking questions and Drew would simply reply with a short âyeaâ, ânoâ, âokayâ, with not further explanation. Roman thought Drew must be tired so he decided to end the call early. Before Roman could greet his boyfriend good night, the video ended. Roman sighed. Maybe Drew was not in a good mood.
Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to months. Roman did not know what had happened but he realized how cold Drew was towards him. Drew no longer send him anything. Drew would not want to answer his calls. Drew would not even reply to his texts anymore. Roman cried again that night when Drew rejected his call. Again. What did Roman do wrong? Why was Drew acting this way?Â
It was closer to Christmas and Roman just wanted to see his boyfriend again. Just once. For few seconds. Roman relentlessly tried to ask Drew out for a dinner and a movie, but Drew rejected the dinner and but fortunately agreed with the movie part. Roman was happy with just that.Â
That noon Roman had finished all his work early. He had prepared the needed paperwork for his boss too. He did not want to be bothered during his movie date. He asked his boss for permission to get off work an hour early to get ready. He was excited to see Drew again. Before he left the house, Roman sent texts to his boyfriend, reminding Drew about their date.
Roman drove for an hour to reach to the nearest cinema in Drewâs new area. He waited for Drewâs replies but he received nothing. Roman waited. It was windy outside. Freezing cold too. An hour turned to two. Drew was still nowhere to be seen. Roman did not want to call Drew, worried if the other man was driving but he decided to give it a try.
The line rang once, twice, thee times, several times before Drew answered. âHello?â Drewâs voice brought a smile on Romanâs cold face.Â
âHey, babe. Just wanted to know where you are,â Roman heard another voice, an unfamiliar one. Who was that? âAre you coming, Drew?â The Samoanâs voice was filled with hopes.Â
He later heard Drew sighed at the other side of the line, âListen, Ro, sorry I didnât get to tell you earlier, but the office is having a dinner right now and I canât leave. Maybe next time? Besides, Iâve watched the movie yesterday with my colleague. Sorry, babe,â God, that hurt him. Roman could feel his heart shattered. Drew was ditching him? Was that it? He could not believe this. What did he do wrong? He thought Drew still cared about him- ..was he wrong about that too? Roman swallowed a lump in his throat. He could feel tears at the edge of falling.Â
âYou still there, Ro?â Drew asked when he realized how quiet Roman was. Roman bit his trembling lower lip hard enough to calm his voice.Â
âYea. Yea, sorry to bother your office dinner, Drew. I didnât know,âÂ
âHow about we meet another time, huh? My treat next time?â Romanâs head felt light. He did not know what to say. He was not sure if Drew still wanted him around anymore. His mind was a mess at this point. He loved Drew so much. He loved the Scotsman. Drew was his everything before. Drew would always care for him. Drew would at least tell him he would not be coming tonight. Drew would not leave him like this. In the middle of a new town, freezing outside of the building for hours.
âItâs alright, babe. Youâre......youâll probably be too busy with your work too. Iâm sorry, Drew but I hope you eat well tonight. I have to go now, the movie is starting soon. Bye, Drew,â Roman did not wait for the other man to answer as he ended the call instantly. Tears ran down his face. Roman had to walk to somewhere less crowded as he cried. Of course, some people were looking at him but it was not like they knew who he was. Roman felt nothing but pain in his chest right now. His heart was broken. His trust was gone. The warmth that he hoped to feel tonight was blown away by the cold winter night. Had Drew really fallen out of love? Did he find someone else there? Romanâs lip was bleeding by the time he had calmed down. He did not want to scream in the middle of the street.Â
The Samoan decided to not watch the movie. He went to a cafĂŠ to get himself a hot cup of coffee and a slice of cake. He drove back once he had bought everything he needed for himself that night. He saw Drew called several times during his drive but Roman continued to focus on the road. Sure, he still had tears leaking out of his eyes as he handled the wheel, but he tried to ignore them. Drew did not want him around anymore, what was the point of staying?Â
When Roman finally reached home, it was already 10:45pm. He brought everything inside and placed them on the dining table. Roman was exhausted. His eyes hurt. He did not feel like crying anymore. He looked around the small living room area. They used to cuddle up in that sofa. They used to be happy. Drew used to be there for him. Used to. Maybe he did find someone else. Someone new. Someone closer to home. Roman sighed heavily. He could not even bring himself to cry anymore.Â
Roman switched on to IG as he sat the box of cake on the small coffee table. It had been awhile since he last logged into his IG account, he almost forgot his own password. His thumb scrolling down to see latest uploaded posts, but suddenly his eyes fixated on one particular post. It was Drewâs. A video actually. Drew was laughing and joking around with another man. A friend, maybe, for now. They went to places together, based on Drewâs IG posts. A recent video was of him went ice skating with the same man. Roman closed his eyes. He was tired. His heart was tired. It was still in pain. He could not breathe properly.Â
Roman logged off his account and went to text his friend instead. Mox was in town, Seth was in town, his cousins were still on vacation so he decided to text Mox.Â
âMind if I sleep at your place tonight?â Roman clicked send. Lesser than two minutes later, his phone dinged. A reply.
ââCourse not, big dog! Been wanting to drag you out of the house anyway. Iâll call Seth too. Sleepover party, baby!â Moxâs reply made Roman smile again. He laughed a little before he told Mox he was packing his things up. He did not think he could sleep in his own house tonight. Not with this heartache. Roman packed whatever he needed and drove away to Moxâs place.Â
Drew sent him some texts that night, asking Roman where he was and if he had made it home safely. He tried to call Roman again the next day but Roman just stared at the little device in his hand as it rang, and later tucked it away. His chest still hurt. It was like someone just set his whole ribcage on fire. Maybe it was the best for both of them. Roman locked the door to his small home. The home he used to share with Drew. He was staying with Mox for now.. Drew did not need to know that.
Bye, Drew.....

pairing: Goshiki Tsutomu x Reader
warnings: none
word count: 2, 863
a/n: I got sidetracked so many times while writing this XD.
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â

shiratorizawa navigation || main navigation
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â
ĘâĄÉâ
Âť ââââââââââââÂť
Rest days were very rare for members of any sports clubs, especially when a very important tournament is just right around the corner, and just as practices are good, taking a break and resting those tired muscles is very important as well.Â
That is why, when Coach Washijou announce yesterday that theyâd have the weekend off, members of Shiratorizawaâs boysâ volleyball club use it as an opportunity to finally do the plans they have been holding on for a while now.
Therefore, when Goshiki called you last night to tell you heâd be taking you on a date the next day, you were ecstatic. Letting out an excited squeal, startling your roommate in the process who was watching a movie while you jump around in your room, still talking to your boyfriend about your plans for your date.Â
Your roommate was definitely looking at you funny, watching as you were talking so fast she couldnât even understand what you were saying, so she just shook her head and continued watching her movie.
The two of you didnât really plan anything extravagant, just a stroll around the mall or anything mundane, you donât really care, youâre just glad you can finally have your boyfriend all by yourself for the whole day. Currently, the two of you were in your favorite clothes shop in one of Sendaiâs malls, going through the various assortments of apparel they offer.
Browsing through the rack of sweaters and jacket, a certain clothing item caught your attention; you took it from the rack and giving it a closer look. It was a black colored hoodie, with a little animated bread with a smiley face and the words peanut butter printed just below it was the design, situated on the upper left part of the chest area. It was big, but you have always preferred clothes that were twice your size, they were more comfortable.
Going through the rack again, you saw another one, similar in color, a similar animated bread with the smiley face but this one says jelly, the position of the design was the same but it was smaller, closer to your size than the one you are currently holding.
Realizing that it was a couple hoodie, you walk up to your boyfriend and showed it to him.
âTsutomu, look!â you said, holding up the two hoodies for him to see. He examines it, the cute design definitely catching his attention.
âCan we buy this?â
âSure!â
After paying for your items, the two of you went to the mallâs rooftop where restaurants with open areas were operating. It was mostly the go-to place for most shoppers since the tables were placed in an open space, surrounded by many potted plants and a beautiful fountain in the middle, not only that, the fresh air is a good addition as well if anyone wants to get away from the stuffy smell the mallâs air conditioners were usually giving.
âIt looks so goodâ Goshiki said, as the server place your food on the table, you could feel your mouth watering just by the sight of it. Immediately digging into the plates of food, once everything youâve ordered was served.
â(Y/n)-chan, have you tried this one yet?â Goshiki pointed at the plate of chicken in front of him, you shook your head, swallowing your food.
âItâs really goodâ he took a piece of chicken with his fork and feeding it to you, watching as you slowly chew on the piece of meat. Your eyes went wide, a little hum leaving your lips at the various flavors exploding in your mouth.Â
It was just fried chicken, but it was a lot different from the ones you have had, probably because of the spices the cooks put during preparation.
âTasty, right?â you nodded your head as he fed you another piece chuckling at how your cheeks were bulging with so much food.
Unbeknownst to the two of you, on a table, a few feet away were three pairs of eyes watching the exchange like a hawk.
âI didnât know he has a girlfriendâ Yamagata leaned forward as he squints his eyes, trying to have a closer look at the girl to see if he recognize her.
âSheâs probably just a classmateâ Reon said watching as his other three companions decided to ignore their food and focus more on the cute display of affection happening in front of them.Â
Itâs not even considered PDA, they were just sharing their food something people normally do, but for them, who had been around the first year far too long would know that this was new, even they were surprised.Â
They know Goshiki is not good at talking to girls, they could clearly remember how he chokes on his own spit the other day when he was talking to one of the members of the girlsâ volleyball team.Â
âSheâs probably more than just a classmateâ Tendou wiggled his finger at them, sliding his plate towards Ushijima and telling him to finish it.
âA friend maybe? They look closeâ Semi offered, as both he and Yamagata followed Tendouâs action, Reon sweatdrop watching as the third-year captain silently accept all the foods being given to him.Â
âWhat? No!â Tendou objected, an offended look on his face as if they had just insulted his favorite manga âYouâre all clearly underestimating Tsutomu, heâs tall, heâs cute, heâs smart and good at sports. Heâs like a mini Wakatoshi-kun if you ask me!â
âSo, you think Wakatoshi is cute?â Yamagata raises an eyebrow at him, crossing his arms over his chest as Semiâs mouth formed into the widest grin Tendou has ever seen.
âYou know heâs right over there, you could tell him that you have a crush-âÂ
Tendou clamp a hand over Semiâs mouth as he sneaks a glance towards Ushijima who seemed to have not heard what any of them was saying, and was more invested in his food than pay them attention. He let out a sigh, before turning his head to the two.
âWe donât talk about that hereâ
Semi remove his hand a smirk on his face âAlright, but weâre going to have a discussion about it laterâ
âTheyâre leavingâÂ
They watch as the duo walk away, hand in hand, something that did not go unnoticed from their prying eyes.
âGuess they really were a coupleâ
"Told ya!â
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â
ĘâĄÉâ
Âť ââââââââââââÂť
"Hmm, what to watch" you tap your chin as you look at the various movie posters that were showing that day. The movie options weren't even that interesting to begin with, half of it was romance dramas while the others were just poor adaptations of movies from other countries.Â
Goshiki let out a sigh, about to suggest that you do something else when another poster, all alone in the far corner of the wall, caught his eye.
"(Y/n)-chan look" he tugs at your blouse as you turn to look where he was pointing, you squint your eyes reading the details written on it. It was a promotional poster to this year's Eigasai [1], the list of movies to be shown were listed in bullet forms and the selected malls where it would be showing printed at the bottom.
"That's today" you look at your boyfriend who nodded his head and the two of you went back to the rooftop, walking towards the area where the screening for the Eigasai selected films were being held.
"Their movie line up this year is good" you muttered, as you read the titles of the multi-awarded films. Recognizing how most of them were movies directed by famous directors.
"Letâs watch this one" Goshiki pointed at the poster, the title The Boy and The Beast catching your interest, you nodded your head as the both of you stood in line to get your tickets.
Once that was done, you made a quick purchase for your snacks before going inside the cinema, sitting in your designated area as you waited for the movie to start.
The projector was playing an ad as people slowly fill in the empty seats. You adjusted yourself in your seat, leaning back as the lights start to go dim, grabbing a few pieces of popcorn as the movie's intro starts playing.
Among many villages of beast in the world, the busiest is here, called Jutengai. The number of beast living here is about a hundred thousand.
âThis is a very good way to start a movieâ Goshiki commented eyes never leaving the screen as he took a sip of his drink. You nodded your head in agreement.
âI know, right?â
A long time leader among them proclaimed he shall retire and become a god. While pondering which god he shall be, since a new leader must be named should he decide, he ordered everyone to prepare a candidate.
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â
ĘâĄÉâ
Âť ââââââââââââÂť
"That was probably the worst horror movie I've ever seen in my life" Semi grumbled stomping out of the cinema as he let out a huff âPeople were hyping it up so bad on social media, that I thought it was going to be exciting or something"
"That was definitely a flop" Tendou added shaking his head in disappointment.
"I demand a refund"
"I don't think that's possible Eita" Reon could only offer a pat on the back, before casting a glance at the second years who they had bumped into while waiting in line for their ticket "I think I saw Kenjirou fell asleep somewhere in the middle"
Shirabu shrugs his shoulders, moving his bangs away from his eyes to have a proper look at his upperclassman "It was boring"
"We should have just went to Eigasai instead" Kawanishi patted the giant poster displayed beside him. Popping a popcorn in his mouth as he watches Semi grab Tendou by the collar of his shirt and shaking him.
"You made me pay ÂĽ1,800 [2] for a movie where I could've just watch it for free!"
"Now, now Eita-kun it was an honest mistake. We didn't know the film festival was today"
Tendou tries to explain but Semi just shook him harder, while an oddly pale-looking Yamagata stood beside Ushijima, not saying a single word since they had exited the cinema.
"Are you okay Hayato?" Ushijima asks, looking at him.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine" he answered before a thought went through his head 'What the fuck you mean that movie was boring?! It was terrifying!' He had to resist the shiver running down his spine as he could still remember some scenes from the movie.
He was definitely having nightmares tonight.
âBy the way. Have you seen Tsutomu today?â Tendou asks pulling Semi off of him âHeâs on a date!â
The two second years raise an eyebrow âA date?â
âYeah- look there he is!â the redhead stretch his hand and pointed to Goshiki and his date walking towards the escalator. Laughing amongst each other.
âCâmon letâs go!â he gathered them all and started pushing them towards the direction the two have gone, completely ignoring their protest.
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â
ĘâĄÉâ
Âť ââââââââââââÂť
"I didn't know there was a park here" Goshiki mumbled a stunned look on his face as his eyes surveyed the area. It was big, a lot bigger than the ones near the neighborhood areas, there were gazebos, a picnic area where tables were already set up overlooking a wide lake with wild ducks swimming around. A playground at the far corner complete with a seesaw, a slide, a sandbox, and a jungle gym.
"Me neither" you added taking a seat in one of the many benches as a sudden realization hit you "Gosh we need to go out more. How long has it been since we went off campus?"
Goshiki thought for a moment before answering "2 months"
"2 months?!" you gaped at him, as he tried to recount the days but it stayed the same "How?"
"High school happened" the both of you let out a heavy exhale, pulling you closer to him as the two of you watch the rest of the park goers enjoying their afternoon.
âI had fun today Tsutomu-kun. Thank youâ you said squeezing your boyfriendâs hand as you rest your head on his shoulder.
âReally? Iâm gladâ he smiled down at you, planting a kiss on the crown of your head as he adjusted himself, resting his head on top of yours.Â
âAchoo!âÂ
âTissue! Tissue!âÂ
âWe donât have any more tissues!â
Kawanishi sniffled, a pained groan leaving his lips as he sneezes once more. The itchy feeling in his nose irritating him as he took Shirabuâs offered handkerchief.Â
âTaichi-nii?âÂ
Kawanishi raises his hand in a small wave as you frown, walking up to him while rummaging your bag for the tissue you had packed earlier.
âWhat are you doing standing near the flower beds? You know youâre allergic to themâ you took hold of his wrist as you pulled him towards the picnic area where there were only grasses and trees present, the other following after you two.
âSorryâ he blew on his nose, as you gave him his antihistamine pill and a bottle of water. Semi doesn't even question why you're carrying an anti-allergy pill with you, he's just glad Kawanishi was immediately given some medication.
âYou know her Taichi?â Tendou tilts his head to the side, eyes blinking in question.
Kawanishi nodded his head âSheâs my younger cousinâ he answered as he turned you to them, telling you to introduce yourself.
âHello, my nameâs (L/n) (Y/n) nice to meet youâ you bowed as they introduce themselves to you one by one.
âYouâre Tsutomuâs girlfriend, right? We saw you two earlierâ you nodded your head, smiling at Yamagata as he started patting Goshiki on the back, while Tendou keeps on ruffling his hair until it was messy, saying something how he didnât tell them that he has a cute girlfriend and why he didn't introduce you to them earlier.
You chuckled, turning your attention back to your cousin who's sniffles had finally calmed down. You gave him another piece of tissue, stepping to the side as a couple walks past your group. You scrunch up your nose as the familiar smell of strong perfume went up to your nostril, before a sneeze finally left your lips.
"You too?" Semi asks, growing worried by the second as a barrage of sneezes left your lips. Goshiki sitting you down beside your older cousin and offering you the almost empty tissue pack.
"It was the perfume" you wave your hand at the couple that was already a few feet away, but the smell of their perfume still lingering in the air.
Tendou and Shirabu had to pinch their nose, trying to prevent themselves from accidentally inhaling the scent as Yamagata tries to stop himself from gagging "I don't know what it was but it stinks"
Reon nodded as he tried to wave away the awful smell, while Ushijima doesn't even look affected in the slightest. You let out another sneeze rubbing your temple as you start to feel yourself getting a headache, Kawanishi doing the same.
Looks like itâs going to be a miserable weekend for the both of you.
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â
ĘâĄÉâ
Âť ââââââââââââÂť
You stood beside the two coaches, a smile on your face, and a notebook in hand, as your eyes scanned the face of the new team you will be managing from now on. You had just finished introducing yourself to the team, waiting for Coach Washijou and Coach Saito to finish their pre-practice reminders.
âStarting today she will be your new manager so don't screw it up!"Â
"Yes sir!" was their collective reply as Coach Washijou nodded his head, satisfied at the energy they seem to possess.
"Good, now start warming up. We're starting with spiking drills today"
With that, they disperse and walk over to their own area and started stretching. Thoroughly preparing their body for the strenuous exercise they will be doing today.
"It's funny how we just met (Y/n) a few days ago and now she's our manager" Reon mused, as he twists his body to the side.
"I offered the position to her" Ushijima said as they look at him "Shirabu mentioned that she's an outstanding student and I think she would be a good addition to the team. Someone reliable to help take care of everyone"
"You're fast"
"It would be a shame if she were to manage a different a club, and also..." he pauses meeting their eyes as his lips twitch into one of those rare smiles they have seen "... She would be an excellent motivator for Goshiki"
He motioned his head to where the two first years were talking to each other, Goshiki was sporting a very wide smile on his face, visibly vibrating on the spot as the girl wrap his fingers with some tape. Which was odd, he doesnât even tape his fingers.
Probably an excuse to talk to her more.
"They're cute together aren't they?" Semi commented, watching as Goshiki sneakily gave his girlfriend a peck on the forehead before jogging towards the court.
"Yes they are" Tendou nodded his head, as silence enveloped the both of them before Semi spoke up again.
"So... about your crush on Wakatoshi"
"Eita-kun, shh!"
ÂŤââââââââââââ ÂŤ â

[1] Eigasai is a Japanese film festival held every August, I think. They would have screenings of the best Japanese films animated or not, and the best thing about it, itâs free! You just have to make the effort to wait in line. I search up google and unfortunately, itâs an event only available in my country, at least thatâs what it said, but just for the sake of this story, I decided to include Japan as well. hehehe
[2] According to Google, thatâs the actual price for movie tickets in Japan.

Chapter 31 - Sleepover
On the next day you were watching TV while chatting with Hitoshi that had spent the entire day with you, when the accident with the Hero Killer, and the Nomus happened that night.
Keigo was away and called you at once when he discovered that the attack was next to where your hospital was, and only calmed down when you told him that you were with Hitoshi. As he requested you passed your cellphone to the wolf nurse, and after a few minutes of chatting she came back and handed your cellphone to you.
"Shinso-kun, can you call your parents and ask if you can stay here for the night?" she looks at him with a knowing smile.
Hitoshi gets up from his chair and nods calling his mother at once, you can see a small smile on his face.
You look at wolf nurse curious. "What happened for you to let him stay over?"
"Your brother told me that he doesn't want you alone when the league of villains is so close, he bought my silence, so that Shinso could stay with you." She says as she puts medication on your IV.
"What did he 'bought' you with?" You look at her suspiciously.
She mumbles something, and you don't understand "Sorry, what did you say?"
She sighs blushing "A date... he bought me with a date" she clears her throat, trying to evade any more questions.
Hitoshi walks to her and hands her his cellphone "my mom wants to talk to you" she takes the chance to escape as soon as she gets it.
"My brother has too much credit on that fat ass of his" you glare at the back of the nurse and hears your... friend? chuckling.
"Well... he is the hero number 3, and the youngest one at that" you nod at his words and look at him.
"She let you stay?" he nods and smiles
"I have already talked about you to her, so it wasn't hard to-"
"You talked about me with your mom!?" you blushed hard at that.
"W-well... yeah" he blushes and put his hand on the back of his neck "She wanted to know why I was going to the hospital so much, and since you are my only friend since the start of the year she connected the dots and was asking about you non stop after that...."
You nod still blushing and smile at his words "I'm sorry for worrying you all... I'm glad that I have so many people around me, and... most of all I like having you... here... with me..." you get redder and redder until you finish, looking at your own hands and inspecting your nails.
You hear fumbling, and then you see his hand on top of yours, when you meet his beautiful purple eyes, it takes a few moments to notice anything besides his deep and hypnotizing eyes, your eyes start to travel through his face, his eyebrows that are kinda cut on both ends, 'his nose is cute', 'his jaw line is strong', you try to imagine how he would look like with a beard, 'he would look manly'. The bags under his eyes that add to his charm, his ears... 'he would look good with earrings'. You keep inspecting his face with no shame at all.
While you are inspecting him, he's doing the same to you, 'did she always had that small dot under her right ear?' He likes the way you blush so hard that he can see small pale freckles 'probably from the sun, she should use more sunscreen does she even know how dangerous the sun can be!?', your ears are pierced, 'but I never saw her wearing earrings', 'her eyebrow is kinda bushy, like her brother's', but your eyes, oh your eyes... he loves how you have a spot of yellow on your e/c colored eyes, you look nothing like Hawks, but you still have small resemblances to him. "I-"
You came back from admiring him and looked into his eyes, to find him looking at your hands together, you smile and intertwines your fingers with his "You...?"
"I-... Would you like to go-... on a date with me?" you look at his surprised 'why are you surprised?' and blush as you nod eagerly "I just need to go back on stage, you know?" you look to your empty back "It's weird... I can't feel the vibrations and stuff, I feel like I lost my eyes"
Hitoshi puts his hand on your shoulder, making you focus on him again "Okay, we will have a decent date when you are healthy enough, then... where do you wanna go?" he caresses your knuckles with his thumb.
"I think that just a walk on a park and a place to drink something would be enough... simple you know?" your eyes focus on the movement of his hand.
"Hmm... How about an arcade, or cinema, or maybe we can-"
You remembered that a cat cafĂŠ opened recently "HOW ABOUT A CAT CafĂŠ!?" you smile at him, and see his eyes shining.
"There is one near my house and-" Hitoshi is interrupted by the door being open by the wolf nurse.
"Everything set! I hope you found that chair comfy, cus' you're gonna sleep in it" she hands his phone back.
"Wait, what's your name? I can't keep calling you Wolf Nurse, nor can I call you Amaterasu, since... ya know... you have a sister that is also my nurse"
She stops and thinks about it "Okay, you can call me by my first name, but... it's not original nor anything..." she blushes lightly "My name is Okami..."
"Okami...?!" you and Shinso laugh at that "What? and your sister is Kitsune?"
Okami hides her face on her hands "Yes..."
You both giggle at that
"It's not my fault that my parents didn't have a good imagination" she pouts, her ears glued to her head and her tail between her legs.
(for those that didn't get it, her name is literally "Wolf", and the same goes to her sister with "Fox" as her name)
You both stop laughing and nod "Sorry, but you got to admit, that it's funny"
She sighs but nods "Yeah, yeah, now excuse me I'll go get your dinner" she gets out of the room leaving you two alone.
Shinso looks at you, and you smile at him, you move to the side of the bed to give him some space. "Please sit here with me"
He looks apprehensive at first, but you pout and pats your bed some more, Hitoshi sighs and gives in, sitting down next to you, it's a little awkward at first, but when you hold his hand and lays your head on his shoulder he relaxes and smiles at you. "I like you... very, very much" he says as he buries his face on your hair, its smell likes lavender again, you had told him that your brother got your beauty products from your home, you probably had to use the hospital one since the smell was different yesterday.
You smile "I like you too" after staying like that for some time he pulls his phone from his pocket and puts a movie for you two to watch. You argued with him after he chooses RIO.
Likewise, you huff "There are better movies than this one, let's watch UP!"
"No, I don't want to cry within 10 minutes of movie" he keeps scrolling through the Netflix list, trying to find a movie.
Okami comes back and lets your food on your lap, then runs off when she heard "code blue" from down the corridor.
You eat everything while complaining about not being sick and arguing about what movie you two will watch.
When Okami comes back looking tired and pissed at the discussion of the two she just sighs and offers her opinion.
"Why don't you watch Your Name? It's a good and heart warming movie, or literally ANY movie from Studio Ghibli, they are all very good"
You two look at each other and smile "Your Name it is!" you hand her your empty plate and puts your head on his shoulder, holding his empty hand.
Okami scoffs at you two, but even so, she hands you both a bar of black chocolate.
You two wave at her and look back at the screen when the movie starts.
Hitoshi holds his phone with his right hand and put his left on your hip, holding you close with a firm but comforting hand.

Pink Roses | Part 3
Summarry: Chanyeol was coming everyday with his pink hair and a bright smile. You didnât even bother asking what he wanted because he always bought one type of flowers. And one day he didnât.
Gnere: Fluff
Warnings: none (this fic is soft)
AU: Florist
Pairing: Park Chanyeol x Reader
Word count: 4k~
Authorâs note: One more part to go!
I was laughing so hard that tears started to form in my eyes and my stomach began to hurt.
Chanyeol and I had been watching a movie for the past half an hour. It werenât the jokes, or the plot of it that made me laugh; it were Chanyeolâs silly comments that made every single scene seen funnier.
âYou should stop.â I managed to breath out âI am not able to catch a breath and also I canât focus on the plot. This isnât a comedy, Chan!â.â
âYeah, I know.â he said âBut just imagine if I did a voice over to this movie and people would watch it on Netflix or at the cinema. Just think of the amount of extra money the movie producer would automatically makeâ
Once again I bursted out laughing.Â
âNobody would hire you to do a voice over when all you do is comment something out of blue and make dick jokes.â
âBut you think theyâre funny.â Chanyeol looked at me âYou wouldnât laugh if you didnât.â
I scoffed while crossing my arms over my chest and raised my eyebrows in a teasing motion.
âHow do you know Iâm not laughing just to make you feel better?â
âOh, you wouldnât do that.â he rolled his eyes âFirst of all because youâre not fake like that and second of all - you think Iâm hilarious.â
Knowing he was right, I just stuck out my tongue and turned my head back at the movie playing on the screen. Chanyeolâs giggle muffled the sounds coming out of the TV making the corners of my mouth curl up into small smile almost automatically. He perfectly knew what impact he and his humor had on me so there was no use in fighting.Â
Since the day of our meeting I could tell that Chanyeol was the moodmaker, that one person who had to always keep everybody happy. But I also had a feeling that while caring so much about the others he easily forgot about himself. The moment he had almost broken down next to me after finding out that his girlfriend had cheated on him I had immediately realized that I never want his beautiful smile to disappear.
âHey.â Chanyeolâs voice made me snap out of my thoughts
I hummed trying to focus of him and the movie once more.
âI was asking if youâre tired because you suddenly went so quiet, but I guess you were just thinking intensively and now I want to know what were you thinking about.â he put his arm on the back of the couch, right behind me, and leaned on it slightly
âNothing.â I mumbled and stretched out my arms trying to pretend that sleep was slowly taking over me âIâm just tired, I think.â
Chanyeolâs eyes scanned my face slowly, trying to figure out whatâs on my mind.
âA penny for your thoughts?â he raised his eyebrows
âItâs really nothing.â I smiled gently âSo not this time.â
The moment I said that, the movie finished and the credits showed up on the screen. Swiftly, I got up from the couch we were sitting on and stretched out my sore limbs. It felt like I hadnât changed my position ever since we started our mini movie marathon. I grabbed my phone laying on the small coffee table in front of us to check what time it was.
âOh god.â I gasped when I saw the time on the screen âI really should get going now, itâs almost 1AM.â
Chanyeol got up from the couch and looked down at me with a slight frown on his face.
âDo you really think that Iâll let you go home now?â he asked âAlone at this time? When itâs so dark outside?â
âNo, Chanyeol. I canât-â I started, but he quickly cut me off
âYouâre staying for the night and I donât want to hear any excuses from you.âÂ
I let out a deep sigh. He was right to some point - walking back home all alone only with those dim lights of street lamps brightening up the scene made me shiver. Still, I felt like staying over was too much to ask from him.Â
âChan, but what about Baekhyun?â I asked âHeâs your roommate so I think you should ask him if he doesn't have anything against it.â
âIâm sure he doesnât or at least he shouldn't have. He doesnât ask me when heâs letting his girlfriend stay over.â
I giggled at his frustrated comment and felt the small blush spread on my cheeks. I knew Chanyeol couldn't see it so in my mind, I thanked our past selves for not deciding to turn on any light leaving the room dark, only the screen of the TV brightening up the space.
âAre you saying that Iâm an equivalent of Baekhyunâs girlfriend?â I smirked
I didnât need any light to know that Chanyeolâs face slowly started to match the shade of his fluffy hair.Â
âN-no... â he mumbled while caressing the back of his neck âI mean, yes... No, wait. Yes, but not exactly.â
His embarrassed smile made me smile even wider.
âIâm just kidding.â I said âDonât stress out too much.â
âHa, ha, very funny Y/N.â Chanyeol rolled his eyes, but I could clearly see that he was just trying to play it cool âWhatever. Now go to my room and get some sleep. Iâll take the couch.â
âOh no.â I shook my head âThatâs a big no from me. Youâre letting me stay here so I canât simply ask you to sleep in the living room.â
âBut youâre my guest so I guess you are privileged in this case.â
âNot this time.âÂ
I laid down on the now empty couch sending Chanyeol a signal that I am the one who will be sleeping here.Â
âNow go to your own bed.â I said while closing my eyesÂ
To my surprise, Chan didnât say anything. Instead, I suddenly felt his strong arms around me easily picking me up. I let out a squeal as he threw me over his shoulders and began walking to his room. I started to hit his back playfully, but his grip on my body was strong.Â
The next thing I felt was a soft mattress under my back after Chanyeol threw me on his bed.Â
âHey!â I screamed as I rested my body on my forearms âThatâs not fair.âÂ
âNot everything in life is fair.â he wiggled his eyebrows and sat down next to me
I laughed quietly and with a smile on my face I looked the pink haired boy in the eyes.
âThank you.â I whisperedÂ
âFor throwing you on the bed?â
âNo.â I laughed âFor letting me stay.â
Chanyeol waved his hand at me.
âItâs nothing. Really.â
We went silent for a moment before I spoke again.
âA penny for your thoughts?â I laid down on the mattress and looked at the ceiling fully aware of the boyâs presence next to me
âOkay, you got me there.â the sound of his laugh filled the room âYou have no idea how bad I would feel if I had let you go back home at this time.â
I wanted to thank him once again that evening, but before I could say anything he asked me âA penny for your thoughts?
Our eyes locked as I said âDelphinium.â
âWhat?â he laughed at me
âItâs a flower.â
âOh yeah, I shouldâve been expecting this from you.â he snorted âSo now Iâll need to check itâs meaning, right?
âItâs up to you whether you want to know what I have on my mind or not.âÂ
With a smirk on my face I closed my eyes and with the soft mattress under me I felt tiredness slowly taking over me. We both went silent again, not even a sound coming from the outside of the apartament. Chanyeol didnât say anything, but I could feel his gaze on my figure.
And with that feeling I almost fell asleep. The only thing that kept me awake was the sudden and unexpected feeling of the boyâs lips pressing a soft kiss on my cheek.
âGoodnight.â he whispered and before I could reply, he left the room leaving me alone with the silence
My eyes went wide open, weariness disappearing almost immediately. With my heart beating so fast and sudden thoughts appearing in my head I was sure I wouldnât be falling asleep anytime soon.
I woke up to the nice smell of waffles or pancakes combined with the smell of something burning. I smiled and slowly rubbed my eyes trying to make the overwhelming urge to close them and drift back to sleep go away completely. With a yawn I removed the blanket covering my body and threw my legs off the bed. The soft fabric of Chanyeol's oversized clothes gently hugged my body - they were still comfortable, even after sleeping in them.
The moment I opened the door and left the bedroom I could smell the food even better.
âYouâre awake.âÂ
I turned my head and saw Baekhyun sitting on the couch with a cup of black coffee in his hands.
 âHow did you sleep?â he asked kindly
I smiled sleepily as I ran my hand through my hair.
âGood. Thank you.â
The boy took a sip of his drink.
âYou better praise Chanyeol for his efforts today.â he said jokingly âWith his cooking skills he never makes a breakfast more complicated than the one consisting of milk and cereal. Really, I donât think heâs put some much effort in preparing food for the past five years.â
âY/N!â Chanyeolâs head suddenly popped out of the kitchen as he proudly announced âCome quickly! I made breakfast!â
I let out a small giggle as I watched the boy make his way to stand next to me.
âTold you.â Baekhyun mumbled while fixing his glasses before taking another sip if his coffee
âTold her what?â Chanyeol exclaimed
âNothing.â his friend shrugged âJust how youâre preparing food.â
The pink haired boy just furrowed his eyebrows at him and before I could even notice he grabbed my hand and led me to the kitchen.
âOkay, look.â he placed his hand at the small of my back and started to point proudly at the waffles on the plates âI made those, but donât worry. The pretty ones are for you and the burned ones are for me.â
âYou didnât have to.â I turned my head and smiled at him brightly âYou let me stay over for the night. That was really enough.â
âMaybe I didnât have to, but I wanted to.â Chanyeol quickly grabbed one of the plates and handed it to me âHere.â
âChan, I... â I looked at him smiling âI donât know how Iâll repay you.â
âTeach me more about flowers.â he winked at me as he slowly moved to brew the coffee âOh, and I checked the flower you told me about yesterday.â
âReally?â
I sat at the small table and slowly started to munch on my waffle. Baekhyun's previous comment made me think that Chanyeolâs cooking skills were really tragic, but the moment I started eating I felt the sweet flavour on my tongue. I closed my eyes and let out a quiet hum of satisfaction.
âWow.â I covered my mouth with my hand âItâs really good.â
âThanks.â the boy flashed me a smile, clearly proud of himself, as he poured coffee to two cups âFrom now on call me Gordon Ramsay.â
âYeah, sure.â I sent him a playful eye roll âYou have to work for that title a little more.â
âTrust me, I will.â
I took the cup of coffee he handed me and took a small sip of the drink savouring the familiar bitter taste. Chanyeol sat down next to me and started to munch on his own breakfast.Â
âYouâre actually right, theyâre good.â he announced âExcept the fact that mine are a little bit bitter, but I can live with that. Gordon Ramsay probably also burned a few dishes at the beginning of his career.â
I laughed at his comment and put my cup of coffee down.
âOkay, so listen.â Chanyeol spoke once more and from the small frown on his face I could tell he was thinking intensively âDelphinium is a flower that has many meanings, but its main ones are overall positivity and cheerfulness. It symbolizes the feeling of joy, warmth and fun. Am I correct?â
My eyes darted to his as I sent him an energic nod. I didnât actually expect Chanyeol to check what I had meant when he had asked me for my thoughts. I thought he would just leave it and let the topic die down.
âVery correct.â I smiled softly
âWhy?âÂ
âWhy what?â I shot him a confused look
âWhy did you say delphinium?â he took a bite of his least burned waffle
A small blush spread on my cheeks as I started to speak.
âBecause I associate you with those feelings. You know, joy, fun and cheerfulness. You make me smile even on my hardest and most stressful days. And I was just thinking about how much I like your smile and the fact that youâre always cheering me up somehow. Ever since we first met.â
At this point I was staring at the table embarrassed feeling my face burning. Before I could even start overthinking the whole situation I felt Chanyeol grab my hand gently and place it between his two palms. His fingers wrapped softly against mine and I started enjoy the feeling how small my hand felt between his bigger ones.
I looked up at him and saw a warm smile on his face.
âThank you.â he said âWhenever you say something like that I feel so much better. For example now, and when you gave me that motivating speech in the cafe.â
âItâs a win-win than, right?â my lips curled up into a smile
âYeah. We just complete each other, thatâs all.â
His warm chocolate brown eyes met mine. A comfortable silence filled the room as he caressed the back of my hand with his thumb softly. We were just sitting at the table smiling and staring at each other, trying to make this moment last forever.
Suddenly we heard somebody clearing their throat making both of us snap out of our thoughts. When we turned our heads we saw Baekhyun leaning against the entrance to the kitchen raising his eyebrows at us.
âI didnât want to ruin you moment.â he said âBut Chanyeol and I have a lecture in and hour so we have to get ready.â
âOh, yes.â Chanyeol hesitantly let go of my palm âI forgot. Y/N, your dress has already dried. Finish your breakfast, no need to hurry. Iâll give it to you.â
The pink haired boy stood up and grabbed his friend by the shoulder while walking out of the kitchen leaving me alone. The only thing left was the ghost feeling of Chanyeolâs palms against mine.

Can i request morning after with Bokuto & Akaashi separate
The morning after
_________________________________________
Bokuto Koutarou
âThe night before was so much fun, every moment was good to make jokes before effectively going in the bedroom.
âThe two of you organized a date to the arcades and then went to the cinema.
âOf course you got in from the back door so you didn't have to pay, duh.
âAnd it was funny, because you didn't even know what film the two of you were going to watch.
âAND THAT'S WHAT MADE THE TWO OF YOU KIND OF H O R N Y.
âBreaking the rules it's exciting.
âAs soon as the two of you went back to your house, nothing and no one could stop you to go to your room to keep having fun in the bedroom.
âAnd the morning after was exhilarating.
â"HEY HEY HEY WAKE UP"
âHe screamed, with only his pants on while you didn't even know when you put your pj on.
â"I had to dress you because your parents came back a few minutes ago"
âHe whispers, making you squeal a little, a little bit afraid of your father kicking your boyfriend's ass.
â"Thank you"
âYou smile at him, sweetly, and he sits on the bed just to hug you, pulling you as close as possible to him and that's the moment when your parents come into the room.
âYou blush a little and hide yourself in his neck, while he is handling everything.
â"We were just to tired yesterday, so they let me sleep here Miss and Mister (l/n)"
âLuckily? They believed it. Bokuto somehow managed to make them think that he is a reliable and responsible person.
âI know it's not like that, but with your parents he is such a gentleman.
âYour parents leave your room, but first give the two of you the breakfast, leaving it on the bedside table.
â"I'm pretty sure they found out." he says, not even that worried.
â"How?"
â"I'm pretty sure that my back is a mess because of your God damn nails."
_________________________________________
Akaashi Keiji
âHe took the initiative and this surprised you a lot. You didn't think that he was already ready.
âI mean, you were ready since the first time you saw him shirtless, you know?
âAnd even if he was nervous he didn't show it, by being calm on the outside at least.
âHe treated you the way you deserved, touching you as gently as possible, kissing your lips everytime he could, everywhere on your body.
âYou didn't sleep at all, the two of you.
âEven when everything was over, you kept on kissing and hugging eachother.
âThe two of you spent the whole night cuddling and whispering things.
â"I want to dedicate you the dawn."
âHe said, caressing your cheek, kissing the tip of your nose, then your forehead where he rested his.
â"Because you are like the sun who, slowly but in the most beautiful way, lights my sky."
âYou kissed him softly on the lips, before seeing the sun rising outside your window.
â"And you are the sunset, because you bring company to my moon with your stars."
âYou whispered as an answer, before resting your face on his chest while he hugged you, slowly caressing your back.
âHe was so delicate.
âHe was almost afraid to break you with his touch, like you were a porcelain doll.
â"Don't say anything to Bokuto, please, he will ask too many questions..."
âYou laughed a bit and nodded in response, you don't want your precious, awesome, perfect boyfriend to feel stressed.
âHe smiled, so glad to have you, to watch you being happy because of him, he is so ecstatic to be the reason behind your smiles and laughs.
â"I love you, (y/n) more than anything."
â"I love you too, my sun and stars."

Stozier + going to the movies
im like one hundred percent sure this is not what you wanted and it turns out i dont know what a drabble is so itâs 4.4k long but um..yeah hope you like itÂ
Richie is tired. Okay, âtiredâ is actually a litotes â heâs fucking exhausted. Two weeks of pre-holiday classes â two weeks of deadlines, exams and final test, two weeks of nervous breakdowns and panic attacks for all students, and for him, probably the biggest procrastinator in their year, it was a hell ride. Sugar-high, coffee-flavoured satanic ritual.
But in the end, he finished up good, of course he did, because not only heâs a phenomenal fuckup of a person with a pathological time-management crisis, heâs also a smart fucking guy. And now, after his last French exam, itâs only fair that he goes home and tries to recover from his two weeks long sleep deficit, butâŚno.
The problem is, he promised Bill to accompany him to the new Star Wars film premiere, they got the tickets days ago, and even though Richie feels like throwing up and lying in his puke for a month and crying helplessly about of it, he promised. And itâs not just someone, itâs Bill, his best friend, and the newest part of Star Wars! And maybe, if three Red Bulls and two strawberry-flavoured Fantas didnât make his heart stop, another large-sized slushie wonât either. His heartâs a strong one, itâs been to hell and back and he can show you vouchers â his studentâs record book, thank you very much.
âYouâre gonna have diabetes,â Eddie, Billâs boyfriend, intones, when Richie arrives to their apartment to pick up Bill with a venti gingerbread latte in his right hand. âFeed him something or come up with a good eulogy,â he tells Bill, standing on tiptoe to leave a quick peck on his cheek.
âBut your mom told me I shouldnât ever force myself to eatââ Richie tries, but Bill pushes him out of the apartment with a sigh and closes the door, leaving Eddieâs pink-cheeked and ready-to-fight face behind it.
âSure youâre not hungry?â
âItâs always like that when you miss a night of your beauty sleep,â Richie grimaces as they get into the elevator. âBut we still can grab something to go.â
âMcDonalds?â
Richie chuckles. As kids, they always went to McDonalds before films, hiding burgers and fries in their little hats in winter or bringing a special backpack âfor illegal purposes onlyâ in summer so the cinema boys wouldnât kick them out, or worse â make them throw everything away. Now, no one cares whether you bring your own snacks or not, and they actually finish their food while driving, but thereâs still a lingering touch of nostalgia to the whole process.
Theyâre barely on time, because Richie insisted on buying a goddamn slushie, although the line was fucking enormous, and yet they take their seats exactly one minute before upcoming film trailers begin. Theyâre both excited as hell, the slushie tastes amazing after the first proper meal heâs had since yesterdayâs evening (yes, fries, nuggets and a Big Mac is a meal, unlike two Kit Kats and a bag of Doritos), and yetâŚnothing goes as planned.
After fifteen minutes of the film, Richie starts to zone the fuck out. The food is still warm in his belly, his winter scarf he didnât pull off is soft and comfortable under his crooked neck, his eyelids feel like the only thing heavier than them is his head. He tries, he really does, he clears his glasses twice, he finishes his slushie with the largest gulps to wake up, he bites the insides of his cheeks, but itâs all pointless.
Thirty minutes into the film, and Richieâs gone.
***
âRichie! Richie, wuw-wake up! Oh my guh-god, Iâm so suh-sorry, heâRichie!â
Bill sounds nervous. His childhood stutter comes back when he is. Thereâs a tug at Richieâs hand he barely registers.
âItâs okay,â someone chuckles curtly right above Richieâs ear. âAt least his hair is clean.â
Um, rude.
Well, maybe in a different situation, Richie wouldnât have thought that itâs rude. Like, itâs always nice when people have clean hair. Yes.
But.
Heâs diabolically tired. His nerves are nothing but a strained, stiff line that is in an alarming danger to snap and slap you in the face, his mind is dangerously aggressive, meeting every single thing with feverish hostility, and Richie doesnât even wonder if itâs him the voice is talking about. Even if itâs not, itâs still rude. He tries to remember when he last washed his hair â this morning, to not die before emerging from his flat. And his shampoo is nice too, itâs his momâs shampoo, because he has her curls andâ
âRichie!â
He straightens up abruptly, as if someone just kicked him in the balls, eyes still blurry, like a newborn birdâs.
âYe.â
Someone starts laughing.
âHe sounds like that vine.â
Richie blinks and turns to his left, still not quite conscious of the situation, yet quite aware that this someoneâs laughing at him.
The first boy he sees sits one seat away from Richie, but heâs leaning forward, elbows on knees, face on the palms of his hands. Heâs the one who said about the vine (Richieâs almost one hundred percent sure he knows which vine), and although Richie feels very attacked, he has to admit, the boyâs cute. He has dark skin, dark eyes, jawline to kill (and to die) for, and his smile is so wide and genuinely nice that it would be a shame to get mad at the owner.
Fuck this guy, heâs educated on vines and heâs hot. If it wasnât for the âbasically a ray of sunshineâ part, Richie would fall.
And then thereâs the asshole. He opens his mouth again.
âThe peanut baby vine?â Richie looks at the mop of curly dark-blond hair, currently hiding the said assholeâs face as he turns to look at the first guy, and Richieâs offended diva is back. He may be a fuckup, but no one has a right to say anything about his hair with a voice like this. Even if itâs greasy as fuck, knotty and smells like used oil, like everyoneâs hair smells after visiting places where kitchens are inside the main room and they just keep frying the shit out of food right in front of you; even then, no one can say shit about his hair, evenâ
âYeah, that one,â the dark-skinned guy laughs again, and the curly asshole turns to face Richie.
No one can say shit about Richieâs hair, even if they own Cupidâs face. No joke, the guyâpardon, the motherfucker looks like an epitome of Cupid from the Psyche myth (not the fat winged baby). Richie quickly gets mad at himself for paying this much attention to the guy, but know your enemy, right? Know your enemy â their hair dark blond hair, like fields of rye in November, their plump pale lips and pale, although with a warm undertone, skin with an almost invisible constellation of freckles on the wings of his nose, their eyes and their dark, muddy colour Richie canât really identify in the poor lighting of the auditorium. Theyâre bright with joy and fox-like curiosity, yet insolent and a little arrogant; daring.
Seriously, do people have to be this pretty? One is hot, like an Abercrombie model you see once and think of for days, the second one is not hot but really, really attractive, like someone who would make a fortune with this intense stare, peeling you off right there, where youâve had a misfortune to capitulate.
âRich,â he feels Billâs large hand on his shoulder, still participating in this ugly staring competition with the curly one. âGuys, weâre sorry ag-again, huh-heâs really tired and doesnât cuh-control himself.â
Richie blinks and frowns, ready to explode right into Billâs face, but he cuts him off.
âCome on, Richie, we gotta go.â
They stand up, Richie taking his empty slurpie glass in one hand and looking at the guys again. Everything feels like a dream, his brain is too heavy, his legs disobey, his hands donât feel like they belong to him.
â âs alright, no big deal,â the first boy says again with the gentlest glimmer to his eyes and the loveliest smile, but RichieâŚRichieâs tired and bitter andâŚstupid.
âYeah, youâre probably used to people leaving after waking up with you,â he says, looking directly into the curly oneâs eyes. âNot you, youâre cool,â he winks quickly at his friend, as Bill starts swearing quietly and pulling Richie towards the door.
âDude,â he says, when they both emerge from the cinema doors, a cig already in his fingers. He offers his pack to Richie without a word.
They smoke in silence, walking towards Richieâs car, and Richie is the one to break it.
âDid I really fall asleep on him?â
Bill chuckles and rolls his eyes.
âYes you did. I didnât notice until the lights were on.â
âSurprised he didnât say anything,â Richie mutters, turning the car key.
âYouâre too hard on the guy,â Bill huffs out, lips still wearing a lopsided grin. âHe didnât say anythingââ
âYes he did, I heard what he said about my hair, itâsââ
âRich,â Bill sighs, but heâs not in the least bit mad or disapproving. Bill has always been a keeper of the wonderful gift of understanding. âHe said you werenât a bother and that heâs glad your hairâs not greasy. This is a perfectly normal thing to say, youâre just tired and tensed, and take things too personally. You just need a rest. Câmon, want me to drive you home? Iâll catch a bus to mine, no problem.â
***
The next four days Richie spends at home, sleeping and eating. Sleeping, eating, watching Netflix, thinking about the curly boy, sometimes. Actually, the memory of that day quickly turns into something embarrassing for Richie, something he knows that will make his cheeks grow hot and pink even years later. He was really, really rude to the guy, rude for nothing, and the worst part of the situation is â he canât apologize. And! The worst-worst part is that the second-to-worst part is â the boy was absolutely gorg dot com. What an unfortunate turn of events: Richie canât even suck his dick as an apology. Or just suck his dick. Whatever, heâd find a way to make it up to the boy, heâs talented with all parts of his body.
But itâs like falling in love with someone you saw on a train or in line at grocery store. Or maybe slightly worse, because Richie manage to fall fucking asleep on the guy, but still â a crush, doomed to picturesque longing and a quiet little death. Itâs all about the masochistic nature of humankind â Richie concludes bitterly to himself, because although heâs a certificated Trashmouth, thereâs a pathologically romanticistic heart under all these layers of shit.
No, seriously. Heâs too much for everyone, even for himself. Especially for himself.
But enough with this shit, Richie decides the moment next, because his mood swings are the only thing wilder than his imagination. Câest la vie, you fuck up and you keep going until you fuck up again. Maybe there is a lesson he can learn, like to keep his mouth shut when heâs tired or, um, to do his homework in time and not traumatize himselfâŚbut itâs Richie. He never learns.
He falls asleep on his couch again, trying to decide what he wants to eat after waking up. God only knows why his actual last thought is so, what the curly boy smelled like?
***
Richie doesnât remember the last time heâs been to a library. Heâs always felt that a book should belong to him for being able to read it comfortably, but when youâre assigned to write a research on Andrei Tarkovskiyâs connection with slavic symbolismâŚnot many books you can find in a regular American bookshop down the street.
The library is huge. The entrance is decorated with ionic columns and the door is so massive Richie barely manages to open it. Inside, itâs just as impressive, with the highest ceilings heâs ever seen and beautiful bookcases and tables of dark wood, situated under big thick windows. Richie undoes his scarf and immediately walks towards the service desk, knowing for sure thereâs no way heâll manage to find anything without help. His steps are loud in the monumental silence of this place.
âUh, hi?â he says, as quietly as he can, and the boy behind the desk looks up at him and smiles politely.
âGood afternoon. How can I help you?â
âWell,â Richie chuckles, trying to hope for the best. âDo you happen to know any books related to slavic symbolism in Soviet cinematography, Andrei Tarkovskiyâs specifically?â
The boy arches his eyebrows. Richie smiles unsurely and gets ready to shrug it off and maybe convince his lecturer to change his topic of research.
âIâll have to be honest, I have no idea how to help you, sir, but my colleague, who is currently in the section number eight is probably more educated on this matter.â
âOh, okay,â Richie nods, considering to leave the place right now, but the boyâs softest, a little apologetic smile decide for him.
âItâs to the left, straight up until you see the number.â
âThank you very much,â Richie tells him and turns towards the rows of bookcases.
12, 11, 10, 9âŚhere it is.
The amount of books is almost frightening. The bookshelves are no less than two and a half meters tall, and Richie immediately imagines one of these things crashing epically right on his head. He licks his lips and takes a deep breath, then turns behind the number Eight.
Five or more bookcases, forming some kind of a wall. In a couple of steps from where Richieâs standing, leaning on one of them, thereâs a ladder, and on the ladder, one and a half meters above the floor, thereâs a boy with a couple of books in his hands. Richie, even in glasses, canât really see his face, because the light doesnât reach it.
âHi,â the boy speaks up first, although Richie decides to wait until heâs finished. Itâs like, dangerous. The whole construction looksâŚunsafe. âCan I help you?â
âYes, hello, uh, the boy at the desk told me you could help me to find some resources on slavic symbolism in Andrei Tarkovskiyâs films?â
Richie doesnât notice that heâs holding his breath. The boyâs hands donât stop, they donât even flinch, he surely keeps placing the books one by one to where they belong. Theyâre both silent for a long minute.
âIâm not sure I can help you to find something with both Andrei Tarkovskiy and slavic symbolism, but you could look through slavic symbolism analysis in Russian art in general and the language of Andrei Tarkovskiyâs separately.â
Motherfucker.
âOh wow, that would actuallyââ
âAlso on the Internet there are a lot of articles on what inspired Tarkovskiyâs methods, if I were you Iâd check them out as well.â
The last two books stay tucked under his arm, and that is when he begins to climb down.
âGod, lemme help you,â Richieâs heart trembles and starts beating faster at the sight of how tremendously dangerous the boyâs position looks, and he rushes towards the ladder.
âIâm alriââ the boy turns his head to look at Richie, and when their eyes meet and the spark of recognition explodes between them, two things happen at once: first, Richieâs heart stops, and second, the boy falls down the ladder.
âBloody fuck,â Richie breathes out, already on his knees beside the boyâs sprawled body. Itâs him, of course itâs him, his curly hair, pale freckles on heart-shaped face, but now itâs all red, wearing a grimace of breathless pain. Richieâs so shocked he doesnât know what to do. The boy turns to lay on his back and a hard moan escapes his lips.
âOh God, oh fuck, what theââ
âShut up,â the boy manages to say, chest trembling from the efforts to control his breath. âShut up and call theââ
âStan! Jesus, what happened!?â
The other boy is now here too, Richie sees him with the corner of his eye. He looks back though, quickly inspecting the boyâsâStanâs body.
âWhat does it look like,â he mocks, cheeks darker than a pomegranate. If Richie wasnât so terrified, he would appreciate this. Like, a lot. âCall an ambulance, quick, I think my collarbone is broken.â
âOh my God,â Richie and the other boy mutter in unison, and Stan rolls his eyes.
âWell unfortunately, itâs not my fucking neck, so Iâm kind of in pain right now and would really appreciateââ
âGod, yes, sorry, yes.â
Richie too pulls out his phone, hands shaking, while Stan closes his eyes and tries to remain unmoving. Thereâs not much Richie can do, but itâs still something. The other boyâs panicked voice is explaining something in the background. Every ring lasts forever, and when Eddie finally picks the phone, Richieâs sure he almost had a heart attack. Twice.
âEds? Hi, listen, what do I do if someone breaks their collarbone?â
He accidentally catches Stanâs unreadable stare and looks away, heart already on fire.
âWhat? Richie, what the fuck, are you okay?â
âIâm fine, Iâm justââ
âDid anyone break their collarbone?â
âWell it looks like this, yeah.â
âDid you callââ
âYeah, butââ
âOkay, fuck, okay, most importantly, do not try to move the body until they arrive, itâs really fucking important, got it? Let them stay where they are, immobilize the shoulders completely, alsoâdo you have ice there?â
âDo youââ Richie turns to the other boy, but heâs still on the phone, so he has to ask Stan. âDo you have ice?â
Stan blinks, and for the first time, Richie notices that heâs balancing his head above the floor. Itâs clear lowering it hurts him. Oh, and his pride is too hard-to-swallow to ask for help. Itâs hot.
âYes, I think we do.â
âYeah, we do,â Richie repeats and moves awkwardly on his knees to help Stan keep his head up. Stan freezes for a second, but then blinks and relaxes into Richieâs hands.
âUse it for pain, you can give them an ibuprofen too, but donât let them move, Richie, okay!? Now tell me what the fuckââ
âLater, Eds, thanks a lot, bye,â Richie breaths out as fast as he can and focuses on Stan.
Even upside down, he looks pretty.
Fuck.
Richie, shut the hell up, youâll think about this later, you sick fuck.
Stan looks him in the eye, and Richie sees that those irises are brown. Theyâre bright with accidental tears, framed with dark thick lashes, and the colour is not exactly brown, more like greenish-brown, like pine tree needles three weeks after Christmas.
âYou shouldnât move,â Richie says, back to reality. âYou shouldnât move, we need ice and youâre allowed to take an ibuprofen.â
âTheyâre gonna be here in ten minutes,â the other boy finally joins them, face as red as Stanâs. Actually, even worse: red is his neck and probably his shoulders are too.
âCould you bring me some ice? And a glass of water with an ibuprofen?â Stan asks him, and Richieâs finally calmed down enough to notice how calm Stan is, although the situation isâŚliterally the craziest heâs ever been in. He moves his leg to support his arm holding Stanâs head. Fuck, those curls are soft. Not like Richieâs, Richieâs are soft too, but Stanâs are in thicker rings, curling tenderly around Richieâs pale fingers, licking the boyâs unhealthily pale sweaty forehead.
âLike what you see?â Richie hears Stanâs voice and meets his intense gaze again. There is this daring glimmer to his eyes again, and Richie willingly accepts it.
âDude, stop,â he chuckles weakly, licking his lips. â You know Iâm already in love.â
Despite their position, Stan huffs, but then his face skews of pain.
âShh,â Richie winces and moves his fingers in an instinctive soothing motion. âYouâre gonna be fine soon.â
âItâs not that bad, just a collarbone. Happens to people all the time.â
âAt least it didnât break through your skin,â Richie blurts out and regrets it immediately, cheeks flaming up.
But then, Stan chuckles. Thereâs a dimple in one of his cheeks, the left one. Richieâs almost sure his eyes are fully heart-shaped by now.
âHere,â the other librarian boy rushes up to them with what looks like a towel, stuffed with ice cubes, and a glass of water.
He puts a pill in Stanâs lips and lets him drink carefully, then passes Richie the towel.
âTell me where,â Richie murmurs, and despite how fucked up the situation actually is, this feels oddly intimate. He lowers the towel and feels how more tensed Stan grows.
âA bitâyeah,â he breathes out, and Richie presses down a little.
âTold you you shouldâve taken a lunch break,â the librarian guy mumbles softly, and for a moment Richie thinks heâs gonna cry.
Stan rolls his eyes. Richie keeps holding. Somewhere near the door bursts open.
***
âThis shitâs surreal,â Bill says after a long pause, when Richie calls him from the hospital an hour later. âI donât believe this.â
âFair enough,â Richie nods to himself, inspecting his shoes. âAnd yet.â
âWhat are you going to do?â
âProbably something stupid,â Richie hears Eddieâs voice and grins.
âYouâre absolutely correct, Edward.â
âYou scared the shit out of me,â comes an answer, and Richie thanks him once again for helping out.
âTrust me, I was ten times worse.â
âItâs actually unbelievable,â Bill says again, and Richie knows the face heâs probably wearing at the moment: blue eyes wide, eyebrows furrowed in the slightest bit, one corner of his lips crooked a little. âIf itâs not fate, I donât know what it is.â
âOoooow,â Richie and Eddie fondly mock him in unison, and Richie knows for sure someoneâs gonna get some when he hangs up. âDonât get too emotional, Big Bill, Edster likes it rough, just like his mom.â
âOh for fuckâsââ Eddieâs scandalized howl is the last thing he hears before the line goes silent, and heâs alone again, with the most shit-eating smirk on his face.
The other librarian boy â Ben, he learned when the ambulance arrived â stayed at the library, and Richie was secretly happy to accompany Stan to the hospital alone, although he insisted a couple of times that Richie doesnât need to.
Richieâs stomach growls and he needs a fag asap, but thereâs no way heâs missing Stan. God only knows when heâs at the library again, and Richie needsâŚRichie needs to talk.
And when Stan, with a sling supporting his hand, walks out of the emergency room, Richie stands up, not being able to help a smile forming on his face.
âDonât you have other things to do?â Stan asks him, but heâs not annoyed. He looks tired and disheveled, but still calm, and Richie notices that theyâre both the same height. Stanâs all legs though, all legs and curls.
âYouâre the most important one on the list,â Richie answers automatically, and Stan purses his lips, clearly unimpressed. His eyes glimmer brighter, though. âHungry?â
Stan graciously arches his dark eyebrow.
âAre youââ he cuts himself off, clearly thinking itâs a bad idea, but when Richie keeps waiting (politely, although heâs nervous as fuck, because hello to todayâs third heart attack), he licks his lips and starts again. âAre you trying to ask me out?â
âMaybe?â thank God his voice sounds much, much more confident than he, in fact, is.
Richie probably needs to get comfortable with Stan needing a moment of silence to think good. Unlike other people that startâŚto ramble.
âSorry, Iâm just used to people leaving after waking up with me.â
Richieâs jaw hits the floor harder than that meteor hit the Earth and fucked up the dinosaurs. Go off, Stan the Man, go the fuck off.
And he doesnât even look proud of himself. Itâs as casual for him as it is for Richie to tell your dad a mom joke. For Heavenâs sake, who is this guy?
âWell,â Richie squeaks, feeling that his body is on again, as if something blew his fuse for a moment. âItâs not happening any time soon, pretty boy,â he points at Stanâs sling, âso I thought maybe I could try something different.â
âLike what?â heâs smiling now. Legit.
âA dinner? A couple of them? Maybe films? Although Iâll have to be careful with this one, your shoulders are fragile now.â
Stanâs smile becomes even wider as Richie continues to ramble, and although itâs not the brightest and sunniest smile heâs ever seen, it sure feels like the most precious one. It feels like a reward.
It still feels like the most precious reward, weeks later, when they finally wake up together and Richie only leaves to pee and to make them a coffee. Months later, when Richie lets his hand slide down Stanâs shoulder and feels the slightest crook to his collarbone with the tips of his fingers. Years later, after some shitty horror film about some monster clown who eats kids, when he proposes in that empty cinema auditorium, in those exact seats.
Stan still needs a minute to think good, but his burning, incandescent smile says everything Richie needs to know.

Kids, Monsters, D&D, and Adults (Sriracha, Part. 18)
Description: A problematic college student gets the worst summer job of the â83 - Jim Hopper, the Chief of police in your hometown will have you as his secretary since his old lady Flo has two months lasting holiday. It was agreed so Hopper could let you far away from all the trouble.
Part Summary: You decided to give Hopper a short break from seeing you every day... But you didn't know how much can happen in your hometown in a week and a half you're gone.
A/N: And... Welcome Mr. Demogorgon disrupting everyoneâs life on the stage, please, give it up for him! (Reader is on holiday in North Dakota during the events of the first season.)
A/N 2: I went a bit off the OG events, but here, I have drunk Hopper on the phone mumbling about being cursed for you, enjoy, please. Actually inspired by Heroes (Peter Gabriel's cover) - the song playing when they found Will's body.
Word count: 4.1 K
Tagging: @nemodorenâ, @creedsloveâ
Master list: H E R E
Just as your mom asked you to, two days after the dinner at your parentsâ, Jim dropped you off at your house in the early morning. It was more or less safe since it was only five in the morning and Hawkins was dead asleep at the moment. You didn't want him to be alone, but he brushed you off with âit's only twelve days, what can happen during that?â and you reminded him of what you had done in twelve days, leaving him with a nasty grin.Â
You both almost fainted, because just in the middle of your heated making-out session, just as his hand palmed your thigh as you basically climbed onto his seat, your brother came out of the house along with Steve, grinning. Steve looked at both of you with confusion before turning around and disappearing.
Steve Harrington had a girlfriend now, or so you heard. Nancy Wheeler became to lucky one, at least that was what the rumors were saying. He couldn't forgive about the endless crush on you, though.¨
You told Hopper to leave for work before your mom sees him there, laughing as Aiden helped you with your stuff, greeting Hopper. He really did drive, honking at your parents, waving at them as he left for the station.Â
It was the third of November - you were supposed to see Hopper again on the sixteenth day of that month. And you were honestly ready to take a short break from the everlasting dishes and laundry at your house and just relax before coming back to the arms of the man you grew to adore.Â
To be honest, you loved your fatherâs parentsâ house in North Dakota - it was a big house in the middle of nothing, ten minutes away from the nearest signs civilization. The sixteen-hours lasting road trip in your/Aiden's car was almost endless and it was hot like hell at whiles, but in the end, you loved the view more than anything.
You had also a lot of family members, like aunties and cousins your age there and you were excited to meet all of them after such a long time. You promised a call to Hopper as soon as you reach their house - and so you did, giving him the number as well. It was midnight, but you knew that heâs waiting for it. And of course, he picked up as soon as you started ringing, laughing like a small kid when you told him that he rather should go to sleep.
It was a quick call just to reassure you that he's fine - you asked him about food and laundry and he told you, with a chuckle, that you're worried too much and that he managed to survive forty years without you - that thirteen days is basically nothing.
Most of the days, you spent walking around in the wilderness. Your cousin Corrie showed you a pack of wild bison living near your grandparentâs house and a great overlook. Other days, you and your other cousin Jane helped your granny with baking and cooking or tiding up. Everyone was thrilled to have you there because they saw both you and Aiden once a year. They took you to the local cinema, for some shopping and even for a time at the local pool and local dance. You were enjoying yourself the most you could.Â
Everyone was surprised when someone asked you the typical question - âAnd do you have a boyfriend already?â - and your mom answered âShe, in fact, has. And it's a lovely lad.â, winking at you. She still wasn't okay with Hopper, it was only four days since the dinner, but she was slowly adjusting to the situation. They asked you a lot about that mysterious âJimâ, but you never told them much about your man.Â
It came on the third day you were in Dakota - the sixth of November. You were just playing with your four-year-old cousin Marty, building Lego spaceships, when your grandma came into the room, holding a phone in her hand, handing you the handset.Â
âItâs some Mr. Hopper. He told me that he has to speak to you immediately. He told me that he knows you.â - She whispered while you put Jim on your ear, nodding. You let Marty play with the Lego and left to an empty room.Â
âDo you miss me that much, Mr. Hopper?â - You joked, but at the moment you heard Jim sighing, you knew that somethings extremely wrong in Hawkins. First, you thought that maybe he wants to break up with you - but then you remembered him asking about your panties yesterday when you called him around two a.m. and shook the thought off. -Â âWhat's going on, Jim? I'm here. Is it Vietnam? New York? Sara?â
âNo, it's not that... I just... Jesus, I feel like I need to talk to someone and you're the only one who is goinâ to listen to me and actually understands.â - Okay, so Mr. Hopper was clearly drunk and smoking on the other end of the line, so you sat down on a sofa, exhaling slowly. -Â âSometimes... I feel like shit, but you know that. But now, I feel fuckin' cursed, Y/N. And you're not here to stop me from doinâ shit.â - He giggled drunkenly and you stiffened. What was his fucking deal? Had something happened after you left Hawkins? Had Diane called? Did something happen at the station? Did Steve fucking Harrington tell someone what he saw? You swore to God...
âJim, what you're after? I don't understand, baby, you need to tell me what's wrong.â - You mumbled back and looked at Aiden, who was just checking in on you. You mouthed âHopperâ and he nodded before closing up the door after him, telling everyone to keep off the line and out of the room.
âI'm a fuckinâ black hole, yâ know? All the fuckinâ shit that ever happened in Hawkins... It follows me. The last case of person goinâ missinâ happened in the summer of â23 and the last suicide here was on the fall of â61, yâ know?â - He asked you rhetorically and you just kept on being silent, trying to decipher the meaning of his entire speech.
âAnd when I find someone or somethinâ I can fight for or when I feel safe for a minute, it all goes to shit after a while, it all just fuckin' goes to shit.â - Jim said and you could hear him crying.Â
âWill you tell me what happened finally? You're freaking me out, Jim.â - You asked silently, playing with the hem of your sweater. Hopper was clearly angry and terrified of something - he would probably get drunk even if you were in Hawkins. His voice was emotionless, he was playing the tough guy card at the moment.
âA kid got lost today.â - He answered honestly and your breath got stuck a bit, but you kept your damn mouth shut since you could hear him taking a breath to continue. -Â âI thought he has just wandered off the main road or somethinâ but it really looks like that kidâs missinâ. It's the Byers boy, that younger one.â - He told you and you closed your eyes. No wonder he felt like shit when a kid got lost in the woods, probably.Â
âHave you found something, Jim? Don't be angry or sad, there's still hope.â - You whispered, watching your cousin Diane in the same age little Will was playing outside with a ball.
You knew Joyce Byers from occasionally visiting Melvaldâs in the downtown. You remember the day you walked in and while you were handing her the cash, she pointed out on a drawing of a big rainbow spaceship and proudly, she said âMy son Will drew this.â You knew her boys from meeting them sometimes. The brothers were a bit weird, but when a kid goes missing, you don't care if they were weird or not.
You just want to find them as quickly as possible.
"A bike if that's what you wanna call 'a find'." - Hopper mouthed back and you could hear him crying, he just couldn't handle the situation anymore. It was breaking your heart to hear him being this much fucked up. You wanted to hug him, press your body onto his, hold him tight and whisper him sweet nothings. You wanted to kiss him and make things right at least for a second.
"James Hopper, you better listen to me right now. You're the best cop I've ever seen. Stop whining, go to sleep now and you're going to find this fucking kid because that kid is lost somewhere in the woods, it's freezing to death, it's terrified and alone, you hear me?" - You said aggressively, being completely done with him and his self-shaming shit at that point. - "You won't duck out and you will make me proud."
You talked to him until the moment he really fell asleep, walking out of the empty room after the phone went silent. There were emptiness and horror inside of you. Will Byers got lost and your boyfriend promised himself to find him. You were destroyed, tired and worried for Jim, but you encouraged him enough to trust in himself. Or at least you thought so.
"What happened? Is Hopper doing okay?" - Your mom asked with a furrow as soon as you entered the door and you shook your head, looking at her with terror. They were just having a huge family dinner outside your granny's house, everyone from the family came to greet you.
"A kid went missing in Hawkins. You remember that little Byers? He always rode the bike with his friends, they were inseparable." - You mumbled and your mom only let out quiet 'Oh God' to summarize the whole situation. She went on a and gave Joyce a call - to tell her not to lose hope in finding Will.
You haven't left the house for the other two days - Hopper could call literally every minute and almost everyone got invested in that kid going missing. You missed a few cool trips here and there, but Hopper hadn't disappointed; he gave you heads up every few other hours. And you even laughed at times which you definitely didn't expect - like the time when it came to talking with Will's best friends.
"You wouldn't believe how bad I am with kids, these little fuckers were just fuckin' around with me, talkinâ about Lord of the Rings and stuff... Jesus." - Hopper mumbled with a quiet chuckle, lighting up another cigarette. He was calling you from a telephone booth and left Powell with Callahan in his Blazer, and according to his words, those men watched his every move. You chuckled at that. Jim really took your words directly to his heart, doing his best to save the damn kid. He was not giving up on that boy.
To find what happened, he talked with his best friends and the way he told you the investigation was going was so hilarious it made you laugh like crazy.
"No way. Jim Hopper is good at everything." - You hummed back and crossed your legs, thinking about some really nasty things.
"Am I? At what exactly, I can't seem to remember." - He asked in his deep voice and you knew that it's about to go really nasty. You yelled at your mom to get off the phone immediately through the whole fucking house just to have some privacy. Hopper, again, chuckled at that.
"Like... I don't know, folding clothes?" - You asked innocently still worrying that your mom's listening to that conversation. But as soon as you heard her yelling something at your cousins, you knew she really got off. - "After you tear it down off of me."
"Someone's in the mood to play, I see. I would like to stay and hear you foldin' your clothes, but the boys are in a hurry." - Jim whispered, yelling something at the two cops.
"Jim?" - You asked and you got only a hum as a response. - "Be safe out there, okay?"
"I'm missin' you here. I'm lookin' forward to seeing you." - He answered and the line got quiet again. You missed him as well, but in the end, you had only eight days in front of you. What could go wrong? And that was a dumb question to ask.
Well, a lot could go wrong actually, since the other day, Hopper's calls got less and less frequent until they stopped completely. It was the ninth of November when mom woke you up really late in the night. He handed you over the handset, making you sit up
"It's Hopper and he was really... Weird. It seems urgent. He was ringing the number fifteen minutes in a row." - She whispered and sat next to you on the bed, hugging your shoulder. It didn't matter how old Hopper was or what reputation did he have. He needed just as a human being needs another one to lean into. He needed you as a partner and no matter how stressful that was, you wanted to be there for him. And your mom understood that clearly.
"Jim, Jim, it's me." - You mumbled sleepily and listened to him hyperventilating. He was crying again, but he was trying to calm down now. He sometimes woke up with these panic attacks. Something went awfully off the rails in Hawkins. This wasn't the Jim you grew to know and love. - "Baby, stay here with me, let's do this together. Breathe in and out, just like that, that's it, that's it. In and out."
"We found the boy." - He muttered out when he calmed down finally. sobbing. He may pretend to be the rough edge guy, but you knew that's the exact opposite of his character when no-one can see him. He didn't get too friendly with people in Hawkins, but he cared about each one of them. That's why he was the Chief in the end.
"And what happened? Is everyone alright? Is he safe now?" - You asked and mouthed 'They found Will' to your mom. You were about to cry as well - he was making such heart-wrenching sounds that only that alone made your eyes water.
"He drowned in the quarry." - Hopper told you, lighting up a cigarette. - "He was decomposed, but the guys from the CIA told us that it's the boy for sure. Jesus." - And that was the moment you started to cry, putting a palm in front of your mouth. It wasn't hard to make out what had happened to little Will Byers.
"How's everyone doing? What about Joyce? Do you want me to come back? Just say a word and I'm on my way back, just like that." - You asked when you finally caught your breath. Your mom was holding you tight because it really had shocked you and she was also listening to everything Hopper said. She kissed your shoulder, closing her eyes. You have never spoken to that kid, but... He was so young. And according to Joyce really bright and creative. This wasn't fair. This just wasn't fair. He had a whole life ahead and now, it was just gone. Hopes were lost just like that. You felt the cold and emptiness growing in your chest again.
"No... Just stay there until I know it's safe here again, alrite? We'll be workin' with some guys from the state for a while now, closing the case up. " - Hopper told you sincerely and you hummed, crying again. - âThe boy has a funeral tomorrow. I feel like this is on me, you know? Everyone was believin' that Jim fuckin' Hopper, the New York detective, will find the Byers boy alive and well... It's my fault."
"This doesn't mean you're a bad cop, Jim, okay?" - You asked him after a while when you made yourself calm down. - "This doesn't mean you suck at your job, baby. Don't put yourself down, you're a great cop and even a better person. The boy... It isn't your fault. I swear. We'll talk about it once I get back to Hawkins, okay?" - You asked worriedly. - "Please, send Joyce my deepest condolences. I'm..."
Hopper needed to be strong and so you needed to be strong as well. For him. You'd do everything for that man. If he would want you to go back to Hawkins immediately, you would go.
"Just keep out of Hawkins until I secure it again. If somethin' would go wrong with you, I don't think... I'm just really missin' you, sunshine." - Hopper mumbled tiredly and you understood. He needed to be alone, so you put the phone off the bed, looking at your mom. Hopper didn't cause this, but you knew he's going to put himself down horrendously after that. A boy's life was lost, but Hopper wasn't the one to blame.
But the worst thing about all of that? He hadn't called after that, not even once. You tried to occupy yourself with hikes and board games with your cousins, even playing some D&D, but there weren't any calls from Hopper from that day on. No matter how hard you wished for them, he hadn't call you. You called into the trail many times, but no-one had picked up.
That was the exact moment you had enough. If he was in danger, you wouldn't leave him like that, whether something bad happened to him or if it was his mind again.
You decided to come home earlier to check on him, which your mom agreed with. The sixteen-hours long drive with your car was horrendous, to say the least, but that very night, you stopped in front of Hopper's trail, basically storming inside. It was dark and empty, but you still hoped that Hopper left you a key under the mossy rock. It really was there.
You stopped yourself for a small moment before actually opening the door up, trying to prepare yourself for what will be inside of that trail. You almost threw up next to the stairs, opening the door finally. And for the fucking love of God, there was some serious mess inside of that trail.
You walked through it and saw at least a few tubes of Tuinal, each one of them empty, remnants of various fast food, beer cans, and full ashtrays literally everywhere. The furniture was messed up, the phone ripped out of the wall, TV laying on the side. The place looked robbed and for a moment, you got really, really worried.
Hopper wasn't nowhere to be found, so the last thing you could do was to sit and wait for him. While doing so, you decided to clean it up and cook some actual food. Before moving the furniture back in place, you checked the drawers, not finding his personal gun. Where was he and why did he take the gun with him?
He drove in pretty late in the night, it was almost midnight; you took a nap on the couch in the meantime, being dead asleep by the time he turned the engine off.
Hopper was thinking that he's hallucinating when he saw your car parked directly on its spot, but then he saw the turn on the light and you passed out in front of the TV through the window.
He took a deep breath in - he just came back from the Hawkins lab, closing another deal with them including Joyce and WIll, and he needed to think about what should he tell you. He wasn't willing to try his chances with telling you the truth; as he said, he wouldn't put you in danger under any circumstances and the men from the government weren't fucking around with anyone. He needed to come up with a story that would be believable and easy to swallow, but at the moment, he was just too tired to think of one. Jim slowly entered the trail, taking the coat off, putting it on a rack, trying not to wake you up yet.Â
You were beautiful when you fell asleep - your cheeks got rosy, you snuggled deep into the blanket, having a dreamy emotion on your face. He kneeled behind the couch, kissing your temple and smoothing your hair, gently waking you up.
"You're here sooner." - Jim whispered with a smile when you opened up your eyes. He just needed you by his side, no matter what anyone in Hawkins is going to say. Fuck them and fuck the rumors. It was safe now, you were his girl and everyone else could go fuck themselves.
"And you stopped calling. I was worried." - You mumbled, nuzzling closer to his hand, reaching out to hold the other one. - "Where were you? It's really late."
"Was visiting Joyce's, she needed someone to talk to. I would be here sooner if you'd give me heads up." - Hopper kissed your temple again, helping you with standing up. He watched one of those lazy smiles.
"How's she? Feeling better after Will..." - You whispered in a broken voice. Oh. Hopper realized that you still thought that Will has drowned in the quarry. He hadn't got exactly the time to call you since he was held at the lab of driving around Hawkins with children in his Blazer most of the time.
"The boy was found alive, thanks to God. He's in the hospital and he's gettin' better and better with each passin' day. He's a fighter." - Jim said quietly and tried not to put too much emotion into it, but you knew that it's making him happy. He led you through the whole trail, kissing your collar bone though the fabric of the shirt once you were standing up in the bedroom. - "I've missed you so fuckin' much." - The man moaned into the fabric of his very own shirt and just when he was about to lay you down, you stopped him and palmed his jaws, making the man look at you.
"I'm proud of you, Jim Hopper." - You said quietly with an adoring look in your eyes. Hopper would swear that he hasn't seen so much awe and love in someone's eyes until you gave him this look. - "You are a great man. And I can't imagine being in Hawkins without you." - You whispered and pulled him in for a kiss.
You gave him many kisses, but this one was somehow full of feelings and Jim warmed up when he felt the love radiating out of it. For a while, the thought of him saying those three words was lingering on his mind as you took off the shirt, pressing your naked torso into the fabric of his uniform.
It would be so easy to say them. Every time he called you to Dakota, you were there and listened to every word; you laughed when you were supposed to laugh and you were sad when you were supposed to be sad. To say that he found everything he asked for was just too little to express everything about you.
You continued with kissing him, not leaving him alone in that freezing night for a single second. Nothing felt better than having you back and at that moment, he first realized that he's in love with you. It never crossed his mind so clearly. He was deeply in love. But he didn't want to ruin the moment, so he helped you with taking your pants down.
It didn't matter how smelly he was, it didn't matter that he had a huge bruise on his arm, the only thing that mattered was it was him. That it was him staying there with you.
And you realized how much you've fallen for that guy. It was the best feeling you've ever felt.

Colors In Silence
Chapter 3
Chapter 2 here
Chapter 1 here
Disclaimer : just wanting to remind you all that English is not my mother language. Sure, Iâve been learning it my whole life but when it comes to grammar, I admit that Iâm very much lacking. So if you find any grammatical errors, Iâm more than happy to know. You can always knock on my dms <3
I canât stop looking at my phone. It has been 3 days since I saw Robbe and thereâs no text from him whatsoever. We exchanged numbers after that lunch and, let me tell you that it was one of the best moments of my life. The food was great, our conversation was amazing and I finally learnt about Robbeâs life; heâs an only child, divorced parents but both still respect each other very well and sometimes they even go on vacations together, been deaf since he was only 6, doesnât want to go to college because itâs too tiresome and later his Dad open the flower shop for Robbe to feel at peace and make his own money, met his girlfriend named Gia in the supermarket when he was helping her to reach the top shelf and theyâve been together for over 2 years now (I gulped loudly when he âtoldâ me this. 2 years is a fucking long time!!!).
All these memories, I canât help but miss him right now. I need to see him but what if heâs with her? What if heâs on vacation with her, like Hugo and Violet?
Screw Gia. Text him NOW!
You win this time, brain.
Apparently my longing is far more superior than my guilt. Feels like my fingers are already know what Iâm supposed to type :
Robbe, howâre you? Itâs been 3 days since we saw each other and... well, if youâre free, can we meet again soon?
And without another pause, I send it. Now the most infuriating part is starting; waiting anxiously.
Hang on.
Iâm not being too creepy or demanding with that text, right? What if heâs gonna hate me because of it? What if he doesnât want to see me again? What if...
Before my brain is making up another scary scenario, my phone beeps. I immediately open it and almost scream when Robbe replies :
Hey, sorry for not texting you. I just thought maybe youâve been busy with your project and stuff; donât wanna disturb, yâknow. Iâm good but yesterday Gia was being a little difficult, we even had a row :/ but ofc we can meet but maybe the day after tomorrow? My parents are going to take me to watch a play out of town tonight and weâll be going home tomorrow. Wdyt? :)
Canât contain my excitement, I quickly reply :
No problem! Any day is fine! But if you donât mind me asking, whatâs going on with you and Gia? Are you okay?
Iâm not asking on how sheâs doing because I donât give a damn and even if I know her personally, I still donât want to give a damn. Maybe Iâm a bit mean but after reading what Robbe said about them lowkey being not okay and even arguing, my heart is swelling with joy.
His reply comes 5 minutes later :
Itâs okay. So, I forgot that yesterday was our anniversary because the shop has been so busy, I even had to ask my Momâs friends to help me sort that out. At 10 pm, when I just wanted to close the shopâbeing DEAD-ASS tired, there she was; stomping and giving me a death glare. She was half-screaming âI WAS WAITING FOR 3 HOURS, ROBBE! DO YOU KNOW HOW EMBARRASING IT IS FOR A GIRL LIKE ME, IN A FANCY RESTAURANT ALL ALONE AND CRYING IN SECRET?! YOU DIDNâT EVEN READ MY TEXT! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU???â but the funniest part is she didnât even let me explain and said âknow what? Screw you! I hate you! Leave me alone! Donât even bother to say sorry!â instead. So I just stood in front of my shop, with people staring at us and a second later, Gia walked away from there, crying *smh* but there you have it. My oh-so-touching love story. Feel free to cry or laugh.... or both -_-
Iâm sorry, Robbe, but I do laugh after reading your text. Whoa, I canât comprehend why a girl go feral when her boyfriend forgets their anniversary. To be fair, Yoona never remembered our anniversary, nor did I; though I still remember how we met. We met at the school cafetaria when she asked me to swap her pasta with my mango pudding and because she gave me such a radiant smile, I couldnât say no. Therefore, after lunch was almost over, I approached and tried to talk to her; the rest is history. Oh by the way, weâve dated officially after 3 times going out together. A year later, Jonah happened and we were going downhill fast.
But I donât need to talk about her any longer. Sheâs happy with him now and Iâm already falling in love with someone elseâa very special person if I might add.
Iâm sorry that happened to you but I can understand how scary a girl can be hahaha. Maybe going out of town with your parents tonight can lift up your mood :)
Robbe replies :
Tbh, Iâd rather spend the night with you. You can cheer me up like no other, honestly.
My breath legit stops for a minute because of that text. Did he actually.... OH MY GOD! Heâd rather spend the night with ME? ME?!?!
Lord, if youâre really there, I need your help not to send a risky text to him, showing him that I want that too. No, I need that.
Just say what you wanna say, Sander. If he can be blunt, you also do that.
I really do hate how my brain works sometimes but today, I do what it told me to. Twice. So I type :
The feelingâs mutual, Robbe. *sigh* if only we could see each other right now, thatâd be great. Donât you think?
He replies :
I do think so but I canât, yet. So Iâm looking forward to our next meeting. Where do you wanna go?
To be honest, I donât even know. If I say that I want to go to the art gallery, Iâm scared that itâll bore him, if I say that we better watch the new movie at the cinema then itâll be too mundane. Iâve never been this stressful about going somewhere when Yoona and I were still together.
I donât know. Any ideas?
He replies :
You decide this time, not me :) Iâll wait until tomorrow. Okay?
I smile while typing :
No problem. Challenge accepted
He replies :
Well, gotta go. Need to pack for tonight. But you have to impress me with your choice or Iâm never going out with you again. Bye for now, Sander. P.S : Iâll text you tomorrow, donât worry. Ciao!
âHave fun, Robbe.â I say softly to my screen, pretending that he can hear it from here.
It feels really good to finally be able to look forward to something. To see Robbe again. Even though we canât meet today or tomorrow just yet, at least he said that he would text me again and that thought alone makes me happy and content.
Because Iâm feeling delirious, I run to the art room and immediately start to sketch one thing that comes into my mind while thinking of Robbeâa tulip. Even though Iâm not an expert or as good as Robbe but because Iâm an artist whoâs often drawing or sketching some flowers, I do read books about them. To be frank, I only remember the meaning of the popular ones like sunflower, peony, rose, orchid and not the ones like what Robbe gave me the other day; larkspur and all that and I donât understand why it happens.
Most people declares their love for someone using roses, especially the red one. But Iâm different. I always like tulips among all flowers. The way their colours can lit up the whole field, very vibrant and pleasing; not too dramatic but not too subtle either. Thatâs exactly how I felt when I saw Robbeâs smile for the first time. It warms my heart and also sends chills down my spine. Maybe it was love at first sight.
But before my thoughts can go any further, Dadâs voice greets me.
âSon?â
âItâs me, Dad.â I reply without looking at him, hand still sketching.
I hear his feet approach and stop beside me, his eyes are examining my art.
âWhy a single tulip?â
Of course I canât tell him the truth, so instead, I say, âI just wanted to.â
He becomes silent for a while before continuing, âsomething happened to you while I was gone?â
My hand stops instantly, my body goes rigid. Is there any indication or a slightest reaction from me that tells him why Iâm doing this thing? Oh God, no.
âSon?â
I shake my head, ânothing happened.â
âYou canât lie to me, Sander,â he answers, sighing. âI know how you feel by just looking at your arts. You can always tell me whatâs wrong.â
Thatâs it.
Thatâs the last straw.
I had enough!
âSTOP ASSUMING SHITS ABOUT ME!â I retort. âAll those years you carved me into something, into someone just like you! I know that I never complained but you NEVER asked me what I want or what I need! Since Mum died, you never acted like a proper parent for me but a teacher. Just a mere teacher. To be honest, Dad, I always feel like an orphan. You donât even know when Iâm sick, whom I hang out with, where Iâm going except the Art School and so many other things. But NOW you suddenly came here and even had the audacity to tell you whatâs wrong with me? Okay, Iâll tell you whatâs wrong, Iâm falling in love with a boy. A BOYâand yes Iâm aware that Iâd been dating a girl before but this time is different. To make matter worse for you, Dad, Iâm a Pansexual and I fully realised that when I was 11,â I stop to take a breath. Dadâs face still looking stoic but also sad, somehow. I canât take this anymore. I need to leave. âKnow what? I donât give a shit whether youâre gonna be disgusted with me or not because of that. Iâm done! SCHLUSS!â
And with that, I walk out from there without looking back and close the door loudly behind me.

⥠Love You More âĄ
WayV Xiaojun X OC (Y/N)
angst fluff . ENJOYYYYY
a/n : it has been a long time since i've written such a long imagine. i hope you guys love it!
you wrapped your finger around your mug of hot chocolate and had a sip as your boyfriend!Xiaojun stared at you lovingly. you placed your mug down and looked at Xiaojun with a nervous look. Xiaojun grabbed your hands and squeezed them gently.
"do you think i will make it?". you asked your boyfriend anxiously.
the both of you just graduated from college. Xiaojun already had a stable job at a big tech company, while you, who graduated with a performing arts degree , were auditioning here and there for dramas and shows to land on your first tv debut. you auditioned for romance, action and even horror! you didn't really care about the genre,you just wanted to experience the real deal and improvise yourself till you become a well-groomed actress.
Xiaojun rubbed your hand with his thumb and nodded his head. "i believe an actress as talented as you could make it! if they don't cast you though, it's alright. it's not you, they are the ones who are at lost.". Xiaojun comforted. you scrunched your nose up at his cheesiness and squeezed his hands.
"are you sure you're not just being nice to your girlfriend?". you asked. Xiaojun laughed and shook his head. "of course not! i really mean it. you are very talented! remember when you acted like you were in pain just to get a kiss from me?" . Xiaojun comforted again but didn't forget to tease you . you pulled your hands away and slapped his hand playfully. "ahh why did you have to remind me!". you whined which made him laugh with adoration at your cuteness.
after the short cafe date, you and Xiaojun went to the audition venue by cab . Xiaojun was your moral support. he had always accompanied you to your auditions and comforted you when you were rejected. he would motivate you to do your best and be better each audition.
you were at the waiting room, anxiously waiting for your turn. Xiaojun was sititing beside you while holding your hand in his to give comfort . you on the other hand, tried rehearsing your lines for the last time. you became more nervous when the staff told that you would be going in in about 2 minutes.
"ahh babe i am so nervous!". you mumbled as you faced your cute boyfriend. Xiaojun gave you a small smile and carresed your hair lovingly. "i believe in you , sweetie. you are going to do your best! i promise to treat you to ice cream later after your turn alright?". Xiaojun pecked your lips one last time before you were called. He gave you a soft goodluck as you followed the staff.
~
you were given quite a good feedback from the judges and they told you they would contact you about the results soon. you went out of the hall to the waiting room earlier with a good feeling. you were about to run and hug your boyfriend but was greeted by his close friend instead.
"oh Hendery! are you here for the audition too? oh and did you see Xiaojun?". you bombarded him with questions.
Hendery chuckled and rubbed his nape. "actually Xiaojun was the one who asked me to come here and walk you home. His mother called him earlier because of something urgent. he really is regretful that he had to leave . ". Hendery tried his best to explain to you as politely as possible. your head dropped as you stared at the floor below you.
"oh.. i understand. family is definitely more important. no worries!". you exclaimed as you looked up to Hendery.
Hendery frowned when he saw your teary eyes. He hated seeing his friend sad so an idea popped into his mind. Hendery grabbed your wrist and pulled you along gently. "times like this call for food! i am starving and i bet you are too! let's go!". you giggled and let Hendery drag you.
Hendery brought you to a small restaurant which was a few stops away from the audition venue. "i always come here with my sister. i'm basically a regular and kind of the owner's favourite,so order anything you want alright. it's on me!". Hendery said and winked. you chuckled at his actions but ordered anyways.
you actually had fun hanging out with Hendery. he was a sweetheart , and a dork too. he would crack jokes randomly which brightened your day up. you always hang out with Xiaojun and his friends but never with any of them individually. it was a refreshing experience eating out with Hendery. after talking and eating, it was finally time for you to go home. Hendery walked you home like how he was asked in the first place. you thanked Hendery for the day and apologised for troubling him. Hendery only responded by shaking his head no and smiled widely. he wished you a goodnight sleep before walking away . you smiled back and went in your apartment.
you lived alone since college years. your parents' house were quite far but you do visit them regularly and they visit you too.
you plopped yourself down on your bed and check your phone. you gasped when you saw text messages from your boyfriend. you were having too much fun you didn't even look at your phone.
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
hey babe.. i am really sorry but i have to go first. i asked Hendery to accompany you back home. stay safe <3
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
did you meet Hendery? how was the audition? text me as soon as you see this alright âĄ
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
babe, are you mad? i am really sorry, i am going to make it up to you!
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
please reply me ă
ă
are you home yet? nothing bad happened to you right?
- 10 missed calls from âĄBaobeiJun⥠-
you sighed as you saw the texts. of course you were still upset about earlier. but you didn't want to be the annoying girlfriend and tried your best to pretend that you were okay.
To : âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
sorry for the late replies babe. i didn't check my phone earlier. yeah i am home, Hendery sent me home like you requested. he also bought me food because we were both starving. i am not mad, don't worry :)
you threw your phone on your bed as you changed into your pyjamas. a few seconds later, you heard your phone chime, indicating that you just received a message.
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
that is great! i should treat Hendery some time too to thank him. i am glad you are back safe. i was so worried when you didn't reply back :((
you chuckled and rolled your eyes at his text.
To : âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
i am really sorry hahaha , so you wanna tell me why you had to leave earlier?
Xiaojun then explained to you that his mother called him earlier to ask for his help. Apparently , his childhood friend, named Weiwei, was on a business trip here and Xiaojun's mother asked him to welcome her at the airport. you also got to know that the girl was going to stay at Xiaojun's family's place for a few months because renting an apartment would be bothersome.
you were now feeling more upset actually. he left your side because of another girl? and worse, the girl is staying with him for a while? you were furious, yes. but you were more insecure. you trusted Xiaojun but you just couldn't help yourself from being jealous. i mean, which girlfriend wouldn't? you were tired as you read his explanation and decided to end the conversation with a goodnight.
you switched your phone off and wrapped your whole body with your warm blanket. you tried getting rid of all the bad thoughts and fell asleep in anxiety.
~
you were woken up by the front door bell . you groaned as you sat up and checked the time. 10am. you groaned again and cursed whoever it was who disturbed your sleep as you walked to the front door. you opened the door but was greeted by no one. you groaned again thinking that it was just a prank but was startled when Xiaojun's head suddenly popped up out of nowhere. he leaned down so your eyes were parallel. he chuckled at your shocked expression and gave a peck on your cheek before inviting himself in. "i texted you but the messages weren't delivered so i figured your phone was dead. i came to really make it up for yesterday". Xiaojun explained.
you finally snapped out from your shock and grinned. you felt like your anger towards him yesterday evaporated just like that. you hugged him and buried your face into his chest. "you don't even know how much i wanted to hug you like this yesterday after the audition. i was overwhelmed with my emotions and the only one who could calm me was you. but you weren't there.". you mumbled sadly. Xiaojun felt guilty and carressed your hair.
"i am really sorry. i promised to treat you ice cream right? jajan!!" . Xiaojun pulled away and showed you the tubs of ice cream he bought.
"i was thinking of a movie-cuddling kind of date today.". Xiaojun said cutely as he tapped his chin with his finger. you giggled and pinched his cheeks. "i am up for it! but can you let me go shower first?". Xiaojun nodded and placed the ice cream tubs on the dining table. "sure, i will just prepare the couch alright!".
after a nice shower,you joined Xiaojun who was sitting on the couch with his phone. he put his phone on the table as he saw you approaching him. but you saw that he was texting Weiwei earlier. you decided to just ignore your jealousy and took the ice cream tub Xiaojun handed to you. Xiaojun then pulled you closer so you snuggled into his chest and enjoyed the ice cream. the both of you watched a romance movie and imitated the cheesy lines. you would giggle everytime Xiaojun peck your head when there is a kiss scene.
"you know, i heard that the 2nd movie is released next week!". you said and took a spoonful of your strawberry cheesecake ice cream.
Xiaojun hummed and pecked your head again. "it's a date then!".
you turned to him with a wide smile. "really?". Xiaojun chuckled and nodded his head. you squealed and pecked his lips. "i can't wait ! it's been a long time since we've went to the cinema together.".
Xiaojun carressed your hair lovingly before putting down his finished ice cream tub. "how about i go and take some blankets so we could cuddle here?". Xiaojun suggested. you nodded excitedly as you stood up to give him space.
as Xiaojun went to your room, you saw his phone lighted up . you peeked and saw notifications from Weiwei. you rolled your eyes and turned his phone around so you wouldn't get distracted. you quickly finished your ice cream and cleaned up before lying down beside Xiaojun. Xiaojun wrapped his arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer. you leanee your ear on his chest and sighed in relief as you relaxed ,listening to his heartbeat. "i love you sweetie and i want you to remember that forever.". Xiaojun whispered and pecked your forehead. "i love you too baobeijun,". you whispered back. the two of you cuddled in silence and soon fell asleep .
~
it has been a few days after the cuddle date. you haven't really see Xiaojun after that because he was kind of busy with work. you did texted and called each other but you missed him being with you physically. you sighed and just decided to focus on your work. yeah, you has a part time job at a small bookstore. you still had to make income anyways. so while you practised to be an aspiring actress, you still worked hard in earning your own allowance and not only depend on your parents or boyfriend.
you were keying in some things on the computer when the bell chimed, indicating a customer's entrance.
"welcome!". you greeted as you saw a cute girl entered. you were about to ask if she needed help when the door opened again, revealing your handsome boyfriend. you gasped and smiled widely.
"Baobe--". your words were cut off when the cute girl earlier linked arms with Xiaojun. you frowned deeper when Xiaojun didn't even bother to push her away. you quickly gave a small smile when Xiaojun walked towards you with the girl and waved at you cutely.
"babe, this is Weiwei! and Weiwei, this is my girlfriend, y/n !". Xiaojun introduced. you forced a smile and stretched your hand out for a handshake. but your tired arm was ignored as Weiwei hugged Xiaojun's arm and whined. "when we were little you said we were gonna be together!". Xiaojun only chuckled awkwardly and rubbed his nape. he smiled apologetically to you in which you just shook your head . "Xiaojunjun! let's go eat!". Weiwei saidly in her high-pitched voice which hurt your ears. Xiaojun nodded and looked at you, who was looking at the couple sadly.
"i'll see you soon, okay babe?". Xiaojun said softly as if you were the most fragile thing there. you smiled and nodded. before you could speak, Weiwei pulled and dragged Xiaojun out of the store.
you wanted to just cry out loud but you held yourself back. Xiaojun has been to busy with work and couldn't spend even an hour with you but here he was spending his free time with another girl. you knew she was just a friend and you trusted Xiaojun. you love Xiaojun. but it hurt you how he was being oblivious of your painful heart . you decided to push aside the thoughts and focused on work. you were grateful there weren't many customers on that day . you were not really in the mood to entertain others . half an hour before the store closed, the bell chimed indicating a new customer. you continued packing up books and your things while the customer looked for their desired books. you were packing your bag when the customer placed books on the counter. "hi , i would like to ask if the last volume of this comic is still available?". you quickly turned around at the familiar voice. the customer blinked and chuckled. "i didn't know it was your shift ,". Hendery stated. you gave a small smile and nodded. "yeah i was just covering for my co-worker. ". you said softly. you quickly looked at the comic he was purchasing and keyed in the code in the computer.
"the last volume is sold out . but the new stock is coming tomorrow! you could come by if you like and i could reserve one for you.". you explained.
Hendery grinned and nodded. "sure,i'll purchase these first and come back again tomorrow!". after settling his books, it was finally time for you to lock the bookstore and head home.
you switched off everything and quickly closed the store down. you gasped when Hendery suddenly stood in front of you. Hendery chuckled at your reaction . "i was thinking of dinner. together?". Hendery suggested. you chuckled and shook your head. "i'm actually kind of fu--". your lie was cut off when your stomach growled violently. the two of you stared at each other before laughing. "alright, how about hotpot and some beer? at the same place!". you suggested this time. Hendery smiled widely and nodded. "i'm paying this time so don't worry about what you want to eat alright!". you said again . you tried making yourself happy but your lifeless eyes could never lie Hendery. Hendery decided to just play along with you and waited for you to open up yourself. he hated seeing his friends hurt but he hated forcing people more.
you were on your second bottle of beer, you were not really drunk but drunk enough to cry outloud the feelings you've been hiding since afternoon.
"i know she is just a friend but why is she getting more attention then me? your girlfriend? am i just dumb for crying or are you dumb? why does Xiaojun have to be so kind towards other girls? this is unfair!". you whined and downed another shot .
Hendery kept quiet and let you let out all your feelings. he thought it was finally time for you to cry out everything and feel better .
"Hendery, is it really childish and petty of me to be jealous like this?". you turned to your friend and slurred your words. Hendery only sighed and tucked your hair back behind your ears to have a clearer sight of your red face. "no i understand. you shouldn't feel bad for feeling this way. i can't help you much but i am here for you when you need me.". Hendery comforted. you nodded at his response before falling asleep right after . Hendery quickly stretched his arm out before you could knock your head on the table. Hendery sighed as he combed your hair neatly with his fingers. he understood Xiaojun for taking care of his childhood friend but he was disappointed Xiaojun made you feel like this. Hendery decided to call Xiaojun to pick you up. He felt like it was only right for him as a friend to help his friends out.
A few minutes later,Hendery tried waking you up. you woke up with a groan and clutched your head. "are you sober enough to walk?". Hendery asked as he held your shoulder. you nodded and stood up slowly. Hendery helped you and walked out of the restaurant with you . the moment the two of you stepped out of the restaurant, Xiaojun ran towards you . "babe!". he exclaimed as he took you from Hendery. your head was still spinning but you figured Xiaojun's face. you turned to Hendery as he gave you a small smile. "rest well, alright?". Hendery said before excusing himself.
"why did you drink so much babe?" . Xiaojun asked as he piggybacked you. you leaned your head on his back and sighed. "i was sad. i was angry. i was tired.". you replied word by word. you felt the wind as Xiaojun walked on the empty street, bringing you home.
"do you want to tell me why?". Xiaojun asked softly. your heart broke. of course you were sad and angry because of him. but his sweet and innocent self just couldn't realise that. "i love you Jun... i hope you do too. please stay with me.". you breathed out, holding yourself back from crying. Xiaojun stopped in his tracks for a bit but continued walking right after . "of course i love you too. i am here always, by your side.".
you fell asleep on his comfortable back as you felt assured.
~
you wore Xiaojun's favourite baby blue blouse and styled your hair simply with some light make up. you were excited for your movie date. you were at the cinema , waiting for your boyfriend. he promised to be there half an hour before the movie starts. but coming to 10 minutes before showtime, he was still not there. you tried texting him but the messages were not delivered. maybe his phone battery died, you thought. you tapped your foot nervously as you scanned the place for your boyfriend.
4 mins
3mins
2mins
1mins
showtime.
you sighed and held your head down sadly. *did he forget about our date?* . you were about to exit the cinema when someone called your name. you turned and were greeted by Hendery. he really was like your guardian angel. there whenever you were sad.
"are you here alone? what movie are you watching?". Hendery asked. you smiled sadly and shook your head. "today was supposed to be our movie date but Xiaojun is not here. i tried contacting him but he didn't reply. i think i should just go back.". you explained.
Hendery frowned at his friend's actions. He really was disappointed in Xiaojun.
"how about we watch a movie together? hmm i was thinking, Dora The Explorer?". Hendery suggested, trying to cheer you up. you chuckled at his unique choice of movie and nodded. "that is a great idea! let's go!". you agreed and grabbed his wrist to buy the tickets.
during the movie, Hendery suddenly heard soft sniffings. He turned to look at you and sighed . you were wiping your tears that were flowing down your cheeks non-stop. it was obvious you were crying because of Xiaojun, the movie wasn't even a sad one. Hendery grabbed your hands and squeezed them to comfort you. he then pulled your head to lean on his shoulder. "it's okay sweetie, it's okay. i am always here to comfort you.". Hendery whispered as he carressed your hair. his sweet words calmed you throughout the movie. you were sorry to Hendery for always being stuck in your relationship, but you were also grateful to have him as a good friend.
after the movie, you went to the ladies to freshen up . Hendery waited for you and invited you to dinner. "how about we go to the usual? i kind of like the concept of having our hangout place.". you said as you walked out of the cinema with Hendery. Hendery chuckled but agreed to your suggestion anyway. dinner made your day. you decided to totally ignore your thoughts about Xiaojun and spend quality time with your now new bestfriend. you and Hendery shared a lot of things with each other , from cute childhood stories to epic highschool memories. you also found out that the both of you were big fans of Attack on Titans and Tokyo Ghoul. Hendery promised to lend you his AOT mangas as you promised to recommend him other great animes and mangas. the day eventually ended with Hendery walking you home. "thank you so much for today Hendery. i am very thankful to have you as my friend.". Hendery smiled at your words and patted your head. "i am always here if you are im need of a friend. the restaurant is always open for us to have more fun.". you thanked him again and bid him goodnight as you entered your apartment.
you plopped yourself on the couch and fished out your phone.
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
omg babe... i didn't realise that my phone was turned off >â<
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
i overlooked the date for our movie date .. i am really sorryyy
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
my mom asked me to bring Weiwei around the city. i agreed because i thought our date is tomorrow...
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
i am really sorry babe,, please reply my messages
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
babe? i understand that you are mad at me...
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
are you at least safe back home?
you threw your phone on the couch as you stood up. you decided to just ignore his texts. you were really mad. not just because he ditched you on the most awaited date, but he ditched you as he spent time with another girl. you knew Xiaojun was just being kind but is he really dense to not draw the line? you didn't want your relationship to be ruined by a girl who suddenly appeared in your life. you thought your relationship with Xiaojun was strong , but recent incidents made you doubtful. you washed up and went to bed straight away.
you woke up the next morning feeling a bit better after a goodnight sleep. you were having your light breakfast when you heard a knock from the front door. you groaned as you weren't expecting any guests.
you opened the door only to push it back close as you see his face. but before the door could close fully, Xiaojun held onto it with his leg. "babe please let me in.". he begged. you contemplated for a bit but opened the door anyways. you quickly walked away before he could hug you. Xiaojun followed you to the kitchen as he called out your name softly. Xiaojun wrapped his arms around your shoulders but you harshly pushed him away and faced him.
"Xiaojun. i am tired. please, i am tired of being mad with you and settle my feelings with a hug from you. this is not that simple, Jun. i love you , i really do. but the amount of times you've hurt me in these 2 months is more than the whole 2 years that we've spent together..". you confessed.
Xiaojun tried to pull you into a hug but you rejected. you wiped the tears that were flowing down your cheeks as you continued. "why do you think i was drunk the other night? you think i wanted to feel depressed like that? you think everything was back to normal when you came to pick me up?!". you didn't intend to raise your voice at him but your emotions were unstable.
Xiaojun was startled at your outburst. he looked at you with teary eyes. you sighed as you sat on the floor and pulled your legs before burying your face in between them. your sobs echoed through the silent kitchen. you felt Xiaojun moving closer. he squatted beside you and wrapped his arms around your body before pulling you into his warm chest. "i'm sorry , i'm sorry, sshhh i'm sorry, i love you babe, i really love you . i'm sorry i hurt you, i love you really. i am here now and i promise i won't leave you.". Xiaojun whispered in an attempt to comfort your broken heart. you finally gave in and cried out into his chest.
a few moments later, Xiaojun carried you into your bedroom. he lied down beside you and pulled you closer. you buried your face into the crook of his neck and sniffed in his scent. you relaxed in his arms as you calmed yourself down. "i missed you so much,". he mumbled as he pecked your head. the two of you lied down in silence, enjoying each other's presence and calm breathing. Xiaojun was about to fall asleep when his ringtone startled the both of you. you slowly pulled away from him to give hin space to sit up. Xiaojun rubbed his eyes cutely as he searched for his phone. you couldn't help but giggle at the cute sight and although you were still a bit mad, you didn't hold yourself back from giving him a quick peck on the lips. Xiaojun froze at your sudden action before slowly reaching for his phone. he was used to receiving kisses from you but he was suddenly shy after the fight , his ears turned red . you giggled at his reaction and nudged him to do something about his phone. "i--i'll take this call for a while okay?" he stuttered. you nodded before lying down back on your bed.
after the short call, Xiaojun turned to face you with a guilty expression. "babe.. i really want to spend time with you but this is urgent. Weiwei is having troubles with settling her project and i have to go help. i am really sorry babe.". Xiaojun explained and apologised.
you sighed, just when you thought it was back to normal, everything was about to be ruined again. "it's urgent right? let me walk you to the front door.". you said as you got off the bed. Xiaojun gulped as he sensed your sarcasm. he followed you out of the room like a puppy. "i'm really sorry babe.. how about i take you on a date on Saturday?". Xiaojun tried to persuade you. you gave a small smile and pushed him out off your apartment gently. "i can't. i have plans.". you replied and quickly closed your front door. you heard Xiaojun knocked for a few minutes, begging you to open the door but he then stopped when you ignored him . you figured he finally gave up and went to settle his urgent matters.
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
babe... what plans do you have that i can't spend time with you?
you rolled your eyes at his message and were tempted to just throw your phone on the ground. he had been ignoring your daily life activities because of his own but had the audacity to suddenly act caring when you finally gave him the cold shoulder. you ignored his message and decided to text Hendery .
To : Huang Guanheng
hey Hendery, i was thinking if you could accompany me this Saturday? i am finally casted for the drama i auditioned for recently and this Saturday is our first shooting. i am quite nervous to go alone...
you waited for a few seconds before Hendery replied.
-Huang Guanheng-
oh sure!! just tell me the time and place ,alright?
you smiled at his response and quickly informed him the details. you were glad he didn't ask about Xiaojun . he really was a friend with good sense.
~
the day finally came. you met up with Hendery early and decided to get some breakfast together. "you can do it , y/n . don't be too nervous or else you wouldn't be able to focus. here drink some hot tea, to calm you down.". you thanked him for his advice and comforting words. after the short breakfast, the both of you went to the shooting venue.
the site for the rehearsed scene was outdoor. the hot weather was not really helping with your nerves. you practised your lines as much as possible as the stylists prepared you before you were called to the site. you were only a side character but your character actually plays quite an important role in the drama. Hendery gave you a supporting pat as your turn came.
you did a good job with your lines but your co-actor kept on making mistakes. because of that the scene you were in had to be filmed for a few times. you tried to be consistent in the quality of your performance but the hot weather made you exhausted. you were sweating like mad that the stylists had to wipe them for you every few minutes.
the director finally gave a break time, asking your co-actor to calm his nerves and practise his line again. you were glad the director was nice enough to be patient with him . if you were the director, you would have screamed at him. you saw Hendery waving at you as you walked towards him . Hendery's smile turned into a frown as he saw your pale face. he quickly caught you as you stumbled. "are you okay?". he asked as he tried supporting you to stand up straight. "i am a bit dizzy," you managed to reply as you clutched your head. just as you spoke, your body felt weak and you fainted. Hendery's eyes widened as he wrapped his arm under your body and carried you. "ambulance! somebody call the ambulance!" .
~
Hendery : Dejun, your girlfriend just fainted . she is admitted to the hospital now.
Xiaojun : what? tell me the hospital address, i am on my way.
Hendery : alright, come here safely .
Hendery ended the call as he sat beside your bed. he carressed your head and sighed. a few minutes later, Xiaojun arrived . Hendery stood up and greeted his friend. Xiaojun gave Hendery a brotherly hug and went to you who were still sleeping. he held your cheek dearly and pecked your forehead. "what happened?". Xiaojun asked Hendery softly. "she was at the shooting site earlier--". Hendery's words were cut off by Xiaojun. "wa-wait, she was casted ?". Hendery frowned and nodded. "didn't she tell you?" . Xiaojun looked at you sadly and hesitated a nod. "kind of...". Hendery nodded before explaining further. "she fainted after her turn. the doctor said she was too stressful and dehydrated . that was why she fainted. but the doctor said to not worry, a rest and lots of water can make her feel better.". Xiaojun sat beside your bed and held your hand. "i see, thank you Guanheng.". Hendery nodded and stood beside Xiaojun. Xiaojun stayed by your side till night. Hendery stayed too. he was worried about both of his friends . "Dejun.. you've been here since afternoon. why not we go take some fresh air and have dinner ? y/n wouldn't want you to fall ill too.". Hendery patted his friend's shoulder. Xiaojun contemplated for a while but agreed to his friend's suggestion . he pecked your hand for the last time before leaving the hospital.
"which restaurant is still open at this hour?". Xiaojun asked as he checked the time. it was late night. Hendery grinned and patted his back. "i know the perfect place.".Hendery sat on his usual spot while Xiaojun sat on yours. the owner greeted them and passed the menus. "Guanheng! you didn't come with your girlfriend today?". Hendery blinked at her question as Xiaojun stared at Hendery. "you have a girlfriend?". Xiaojun asked. Hendery shook his head and tried to reply the owner. "no no auntie, she is not my gi--". his words were cut off when the owner exclaimed. " ah y/n ! she isn't here today.". Xiaojun's expression was unreadable. Hendery gulped and shook his head. "may we just look at the menu and order ,auntie?". the oblivious owner smiled and nodded before going back to the counter.
"this is just a misunderstanding Dejun.". Hendery started as he stared at the menu that he had memorised by heart. Xiaojun was silent for a bit but smiled . "i understand Guanheng. don't worry. why not we just order?i am starving!!". Hendery knew Xiaojun was just pretending to be okay. Xiaojun and you were really soulmates. hiding your real feelings. Hendery nodded and ordered some food.
the meal was silent and calm. both too occupied with their own thoughts. after the meal, Xiaojun paid for the food and thanked Hendery once again. "why not you go home and rest? i will be with y/n.". Xiaojun said in a matter of factly. not really as a suggestion. Hendery nodded and bid his friend goodnight before going back home.
Xiaojun stayed with for the whole night. you woke up to see your boyfriend sleeping, head on the edge of your bed. you carressed his soft brown locks gently as you stared at his calm sleeping face. Xiaojun's eyes opened slowly as he sat up. he grabbed your hand and pecked them before asking. "are you feeling better ?". you only nodded and squeezed his hand. "did Hendery call you?". Xiaojun hummed in response. his other hand balled into a fist as he heard his friend's name. "the doctor said you can discharge after you eat your breakfast. he said to drink lots of water and rest well.". your eyes widened when you realised you were at job when you fainted. you quickly searched for your phone to check for any messages. "missing Hendery already?". Xiaojun asked with gritted teeth. you looked up from your phone and frowned. "what?". Xiaojun smirked and scoffed. "nothing.". you turned back to your phone and read the text from one of the staffs.
-we hope you have a good rest. we are sorry for not considering your condition , we will update you about the next shootings. for now, we just want you to have a good rest- .
you sighed in relief as you finished reading the text. you thought you were going to be replaced by another actress. you placed your phone down and looked at Xiaojun who was staring at you. "have you eaten?". you asked. Xiaojun shook his head and rubbed his face with his hands. "i'll eat later after sending you home. i don't have the appetite to eat.". you frowned at his answer and placed your hand on his cheek as you carressed them gently. "please eat well. i don't want you to fall ill.". you said softly. Xiaojun gave a small smile and nodded.
in the cab on the way to your house, you leaned your head on Xiaojun's shoulder as he rubbed your interwined hands with his thumb. you jumped when you heard your phone ring.
*incoming call from Huang Guanheng*
you looked at Xiaojun as he nodded his head letting you answer the phone.
Hendery : are you home?
You : i'm on my way home in the cab. I am with Xiaojun.
Hendery : that is great . rest well okay? and y/n .. did you not tell him about the drama?
you kept silent at his question. Hendery called your names a few times .
You : i will alright. don't worry .
Hendery : he is your boyfriend,he should know.
you nodded your head as if he was in front of you.
You : okay okay, stop nagging, gosh.
Hendery chuckled at your response and advised you one last time before ending the call.
Xiaojun squeezed your hand right after you kept your phone. you leaned back onto his shoulder before calling his name out softly.
"babe,, i wanted to tell you but i was mad the other day. i actually got casted for the drama that i auditioned for the last time.". Xiaojun was quiet for a while. he carressed your hand and pecked your forehead. "congrats babe. see, i told you you would make it. you are talented.". he whispered. you smiled and pecked his cheek as you thanked him. you decided to just relax in silence as the cab took you back home.
~
you plopped on your couch as you arrived home. Xiaojun locked the front door and joined you on the couch. you switched on the TV and searched for fun shows to watch. "hey would you like some tea?". Xiaojun offered. you smiled and nodded . Xiaojun went to the kitchen to make some tea for the both of you. he thought this gave him some time to gather his courage for the words he was about to say . he hoped the tea would calm the both of you before the storm comes.
he placed both cups on the coffee table. your eyes were still stuck to the TV as you sipped on the hot tea. you turned to Xiaojun when he suddenly lowered down the volume of the TV. Xiaojun gave a small smile as he reached for your hands. he gave them a squeeze before starting his speech.
"y/n. we need to talk. i don't think this is going to work between us..". you frowned at his words and remembered what he said earlier. "is this because of Hendery? Xiaojun. i've been patient for almost three months now when you have to entertain Weiwei but just because of your jealousy towards Hendery , you want to break up? Hendery is just a friend! ". you asked , obviously disappointed with him . Xiaojun shook his head as he pulled his hands away from yours. "it's not just jealousy, okay?!". you were startled when he raised his voice. Xiaojun sighed and ruffled his hair roughly. "it's not jealousy...". his voice was back to his usual soft voice. "it's a realisation. i realised that Hendery can take care of you better than I can . he treats you better than me. you deserve a man better than me.". you frowned at his what you would say nonsensical excuses.
"no... i don't want to break up with you. i love you Xiaojun! don't you love me too? you promised me you are going to be by my side always.". you said as tears trickled down from your eyes. Xiaojun wiped his own tears as he looked into your eyes. "i do.. i love you. i love you so much therefore we can't be together. i love you so much i don't want to see you hurt . i love you so much i want you to know that you deserve better. i love you... but we are not meant to be with each other.".
your palms turned into fists as you hit his chest. "you stupid jerk! that doesn't make any sense! if you love me, stay with me! don't give up on me!". you shouted as you hit him. Xiaojun grabbed your wrists as he pulled you into a hug. "i love you. this is for your best.". he whispered and pecked your forehead for the last time . Xiaojun stood up and went out of your apartment, leaving you crying on the couch.
- Xiao Dejun -
Guanheng, please take care of y/n .
Hendery cursed under his breath as he read the message from his friend. "what did this idiot do this time." Hendery mumbled as he rushed to your apartment.
Hendery arrived at your house a few minutes after Xiaojun left. the door was unlocked. Hendery quickly went in only to be greeted by your sleeping figure on the couch. he locked the front door and went to you. Hendery sighed as he saw you tear-stained face. he wiped your dry tears and carried you to your room. "she was just healing and you decided to break her again.". Hendery mumbled as he placed you on your bed. you stirred in your sleep and woke up slowly. you saw Hendery standing beside your bed with a worried look. he sat on the edge of your bed and held your hands. "he is an idiot. i am going to talk to him later alright? he is going to make this wo--". his words were cut off as you shook your head. "no Hendery. he is not going to turn back anymore. i know him. this is what he wanted. he thinks this is the best choice.". you tried to say but broke down right after. Hendery sighed and pulled your head towards his chest. "i'm here. i'm here. it's okay , just cry it all out. maybe this is for the best afterall. you are precious y/n and i am here to protect you always.". Hendery comforted you.
.
.
.
.
"and the best actress award goes to , Y/N !!".
the crowd cheered as you stood up from your chair, surprised that you had won the award. you bowed to your seniors and juniors as you walked up to the stage. you received the plaque from the announcer and went to the front to give your winning speech.
"first of all i would like to thank my parents for always supporting me . i thank my fans too for loving my works! i will work harder and improve myself better and better. i would like to thank those who i have worked with. without them, i might not even have the chance to be an actress and moreover, win this award. not to forget , i would also like to thank this amazing person, my friend, Hendery. thank you for being by my side all these years especially these past 4 years. he is a really good producer so check out some of his musics alright? lastly, thank you once again!". you felt your legs tremble as you went back to your seat.
âĄHuang GuanhengâĄ
good job sweetie! and thank you for mentioning me, i am happy i could be by your side.
you smiled as you read his text. you looked up to the stage when you heard the MC called a familiar name.
"before we end the show, we would like to invite this show's biggest sponsor, from the company DJX , Mr Xiaojun , to accept our appreciation gift.". you gulped when you saw the handsome man on the stage. his previous brown locks were now blonde. his smile was still the same like before. but his features were more defined as he matured throughout these years. you gave a small smile when he looked at you and quickly looked away . *you've moved on y/n. don't give in to him.* you thought to yourself.
~
you were standing at a corner with a glass of fruitpunch, waiting for your manager to bring you back. you didn't really enjoy after-event parties but attended anyways out of politeness. you were looking around when you saw Xiaojun walked towards you. you looked up and accidentally stared right into his brown orbs. Xiaojun looked away as his ears turn red. it's been 4 years but you were still as beautiful as ever. he missed you. you still made his heart skip a beat. you smiled as he stood in front of you. "it's been a while, Xiaojun.". the way his real name rolled off your tongue hurt him . he nodded and finally looked at you. "so you and Hendery are together now?". he asked. you chuckled and shook your head. "he is just a friend. a brother. i told you before, didn't i?". you replied with a small smile. Xiaojun looked down sadly but looked back up to you. "y/n. i'm really sorry...". you chuckled again and patted his shoulder. "let the past be past ,Xiaojun. i actually wanted to thank you for all the bittersweet memories. they really help me alot in my acting . experience is what makes it easier to stay in character.". your words hurt him. like how his words hurt you 4 years ago. before Xiaojun could say anything, you were called by your manager. "oh looks like i got to go. see you when i see you!". you waved at him before leaving the ballroom.
Xiaojun sighed as he stared at your back walking away from him. he would be lying if he said he didn't regret leaving you. his life has been nothing but miserable after breaking up with you. he focused on work to distract himself but his soul was empty. before he could leave the venue, he heard the DJ introducing a song. "before leaving, the actress y/n had requested this song. she hoped all of you enjoy it.".
Xiaojun decided to stay and listened to the song you love .
Iâll love you more
If youâre gonna do that, donât come to me
If a person like me is gonna be erased anyway
Our love that was written down on a white piece of paper
Was clear just like my tears
Just stay by my side for one day
Because this awkward break-up still feels like a dream
Love me a little more, donât push me away
Iâll try to hide it and let out a sigh in this empty time
When your tears that filled my heart dry up a little
I will engrave you in my eyes
And let you go
Words that sounded affectionate like a friend
Words I want to hear several times a day
Words saying you love me
It makes my breath stop and heart race
But only your voice sleeps in my memories
Just stay by my side for one day
Because this awkward break-up still feels like a dream
Love me a little more, donât push me away
Iâll try to hide it and let out a sigh in this empty time
When your tears that filled my heart dry up a little
I will engrave you in my eyes
Until you come back
You silently stop in place
With eyes, telling me not to forgive you
I guess this really wonât work
Now all thereâs left is this crappy break-up
I try to catch you but you get farther away and disappear
Love me a little more, donât push me away
Iâll try to hide it and let out a sigh in this empty time
When your tears that filled my heart dry up a little
I will engrave you in my eyes
And let you go
{ NU'EST - Love You More }
Xiaojun wiped his tears that flowed down without him even noticing.
âĄBaobeiJunâĄ
i know it's too late... but i love you . i have always been loving you . i should've have loved you more instead of leaving you. i love you .
i hope you guys enjoyed this~ my feelings were overwhelmed when i wrote this hahaha anyways, do like and comment ! i love to hear to your feedbacks âĄâĄ

Hi Ben! I see youâre still enjoying the absolute insanity that has gripped tumblr the last couple of days XD . As someone whoâs been a tumblr lurker for a number of years, this is hysterical enough from my side. I canât imagine the sheer ridiculousness of seeing it firsthand. Virtually every blog I check, no matter if theyâve ever seen a SPN episode or not, has been posting about it. It is WILD.
I feel like Iâm at least a little lucky that I always skewed more âlockâ than anything (mainly because my 'whoâ took a hard dive into Torchwood and never really recovered), so thereâs less emotional flashbacks/richochets/rollercoastering/etc. (Yes, I did in fact see the news about Sherlock season 5, but I never saw season 4 because of some of the feedback I heard before I got the chance to watch it, so itâll take something truly impressive to draw me back now.) Although in a roundabout way Sherlock is what eventually led me to Teen Wolf because of multi-focus blogs, so I guess I can thank it for that.
Work was one of those super fun days where the manager leaving not long after I got there was all âYeah, itâs been really calm, and both deliveries so far have been small and should be easy to deal with." So of course, about an hour after he leaves, four more pallets full of stuff show up, so I spent pretty much my whole shift trying to get everything checked in. On the one hand, yay, less customers, on the other, hauling that shit around in a mask gets hot.
That dish sounds delicious, and definitely better than my sad lunch/dinner at work. Ngl, Iâm extremely jealous.
And omg, the last line post now has me nervous again because there are multiple options of who is saying whatever it is to whom, and all of them hurt. XD Also very here for the idea of a pack of three year-olds trying to pull a Parent Trap on their respective dads. Is there a treehouse or playhouse they can lock them into to talk? A moment of Jax and Stiles pointing out that they both agree on this, so they should know that itâs serious? Trying to make them draw or write down why theyâre sad, or whatever similar coping skills the dad usually has the kid use? Trying to take away a treat of some sort/ground them from doing something/etc until they agree to talk to each other? So many possibilities.
I cackled at that coffee shop guy post, because the sheer obliviousness demonstrated by the op throughout the story is almost the exact energy being displayed by Peter in my fake dating fic and seeing a story of it happening in RL about took me out. XD
Also, Iâm super curious what kinds of rituals youâre planning for the fic. Good, bad, druidic, wolfy, pack, wedding, birth, sexy, friendship, binding, warding, ??? Inquiring minds want to know (whenever you are ready to share of course. Inquiring minds can also be patient. ;D )
Oh, a funny moment at work! I was picking up one of the pallets after Iâd emptied it, and there was a knot in one of the boards that I almost knocked out as I grabbed it, and my brainâs immediate thought was "Whoops, almost just popped the knot on that woodâ, immediately followed by the thought âOh god, no, jesus christ, PHRASING, tonight of all nights, no." (I am super sad that there is no one I work with that I could scream about this with.)
Anyway, I should wrap up because I need to leave for work soon. Enjoy the continuing thrill ride that is this site, and best of vibes for any writing attempts today! Take care! *Hugs!*
Okay Iâm gonna add the preview to your fic from your last message to this one so I have it all in one message here. Because after writing over 3K yesterday my brain is just really tired and I keep wanting to nap today. Havenât done much and replying to two messages is a bit much.Â
On the flip side, I did update Final Masquerade today and that chapter is almost 7K long. So yay!
Also, my fucking feelings while writing that. Jesus christ on a pogo stick.
And in the spirit of âOh, did you say enemies-to-lovers? Â Sorry, I heard idiots-to-loversâ, here is another preview from the fake dating fic, because I love this part, and it features the first appearance of Fashion Consultant Peter:
âPeter, what the hell are you doing in my closet?â Noahâs voice sounded like it was thankfully more bemused than annoyed, but Peter knew that it could be a fine line to walk.
âTrying not to cry in despair, for the most part. Why is everything you own at least a size too big and some shade of brown?â Peter called back over his shoulder, still staring at the somewhat neatly organized rainbow of dull, listless neutrals in growing dismay.
âIâm wearing a green shirt right now, asshole, and not all of us are interested in looking like we got squeezed into our clothing by force. Some of us actually acknowledge our age, and try to dress somewhat appropriately. Some of us also understand the value of blending in.â
âOkay, firstly, age, as they say, is just a number. Secondly, thereâs trying not to stand out, and thereâs just giving up. Though frankly, Iâve never quite put much stock in either.â
âColor me shocked to hear that from someone Iâve seen wear a cardigan like it was an actual shirt on more than one occasion.â
Peter shrugged as he continued to rifle through hangers and peek into storage containers, though he wasnât certain that Noah could even see him from within the depths of the walk-in. âIf youâve got it, flaunt it.â The sigh that answered him held a level of long-suffering, begrudging patience that Peter was far more used to hearing directed at Stiles than himself.
ââ
Why yes, there is indeed a trip suit shopping in the story. Â Basically, I am cramming in every random obnoxiously trope-y thing I can remember from the few rom coms Iâve seen. Â Also, there is so much food in this story. Â Like, itâs ridiculous how often there someone ends up eating something. Â Iâm not even sure where it came from.
Iâve been reading this multiple times in the last few days, itâs just so cute!Â
Heâs in the closet huh? Is he gonna come out?
Sorry, sorry, Iâll can it XDÂ
And honestly, I think Tumblrâs 2012 insanity streak is the only thing keeping me sane right now. Because holy shit what a week.
I never really got into Sherlock myself or Doctor Who. I think I saw one episode of Dr. who (with David Tennant I think) and three episodes of Sherlock because my mom used to watch it.
I saw 12 seasons of Supernatural though, I definitely had an obsession with Destiel and particularly Dean Winchester. Fun fact; Cosplaying Dean made me comfortable enough to come out to my friends as transgender. Because I realized that I couldn't hide my gender even if I tried so hard for over 23 years.
And it was Supernatural that eventually led me to Teen Wolf. Well, that and Grimm, which was also a really fun show and really interesting.
Oh boy, yeah whenever a manager told me that I knew I was gonna be in for a very interesting night. For sure, sucks that you had to do that in a mask though. But on the other hand, no customer interaction does sound like it was a nice break in a way. And OMG I snorted!
Itâs a good thing we donât work together, I feel like the jokes wouldnât have ended. My god Iâm still snickering.
And omg, the last line post now has me nervous again because there are multiple options of who is saying whatever it is to whom, and all of them hurt. Â XD Â Also very here for the idea of a pack of three year-olds trying to pull a Parent Trap on their respective dads. Â Is there a treehouse or playhouse they can lock them into to talk? Â A moment of Jax and Stiles pointing out that they both agree on this, so they should know that itâs serious? Â Trying to make them draw or write down why theyâre sad, or whatever similar coping skills the dad usually has the kid use? Â Trying to take away a treat of some sort/ground them from doing something/etc until they agree to talk to each other? Â So many possibilities.
I do have a bit of an idea to have them go to the cinema with the kids and make them watch the parent trap, which of course leads to all sorts of shenanigans back at home where Allison and Malia are constantly trying to lock the dads in a room together, aided by Derek and Laura because Malia canât reach the door handles just yet. Meanwhile Stiles and Jackson are coming up with increasingly elaborate schemes for two three-year-olds that involve their dads being locked in tree houses, sheds, and other places. Not to mention, the kindergarten pact.
And I like to think at some point the wives and Melissa start helping the kids as well. I mean Iâd really like to build one giant polyamorous family for this fic.

Hello!! If possible can you write a rantaro x fem! Reader? High school/hopes peak( you decide) au, fluff. Let's say that the reader is talkative and popular. Ofc you are free to decline!! And if you decide to do it, take all the time you need!! I don't mind at all:)
Tbh if I did decline a oneshot request or someone requests it when they are closed I would just do scenario instead.
But damn it could be much longer tbh... Like I could make it a 3-part story. But I kinda suck at writing Rantaro's character. Still hope you will like it!
3rd person POV
Ever since you have started high school you were making more and more friends and had pretty high reputation thanks to that. But there was this one boy you couldn't get to meet even though you were in the same class. His name was Rantaro. He was gone traveling for a month and a half. You were unsure where to since nobody provided you with that info.
It was pretty wierd to see him back again and his desk wasn't now allways empty. So it was your time to get to know him.
You approached him calmly "Hi" you had a smile on your face and his voice seemed a bit tired as he said "Hey there... Y/N was it?" nodding you smiled "And you are Rantaro?"
He chuckled "That's me... Do you need anything?" crap you didn't think this through. But you had quick idea on what to say "I noticed that you were gone for a while and I was wondering if you needed any help with missed schoolwork. I can send you all the notes" you offered and he chuckled "That whould be nice" you took out a pen and piece of paper and wrote your contact info and gave him it.
He jokingly announced "Wow first day here and I alredy got someone's number"
"Wow I didn't expect you to be a flirt but well I guess I shouldn't have judged you" you joked back but he didn't seem to get the joke
"Oh it's nothing like that. I just thought I could keep the conversation going with the comment. Guess I didn't think it through and it came out as it did huh?" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously laughing "It was fun talking to you no wonder everyone likes you"
You raised your eyebrow at the statement "How do you know that?" crossing your arms you became curious since how he possibly could know it. He pointed at one of the students in the classroom her name was Kaede "Me and her went to the same middle school and she just gave me some info about the school and kept me updated on what's up" Rantaro looked back at you and you realized something "Whouldn't that mean that you already have the notes?" you weren't mad but you wanted to know why he'd agree to you giving him notes if he already had them "Well you see I don't have the most recent ones and since you asked if I needed it I said yes" he shrugged "I hope I can use this number not just for school related stuff" he said while waving the little piece of paper you gave him earlier. You smiled at him "I also hope we can become friends if that's what you are suggesting" he nods "That's exactly it you got me" he slightly raised his both hands in joking manner.
"By the way do you need to see around the school? I mean I don't know this place too well either but it's better than nothing"
"Nah I'm good. I'll probably figure it out myself. But if you just want to spend more time with me I'll pretend I haven't said that" he chuckled. He sure does laugh often. Not that you mind since it's quite pleasant sound and it also lightens the mood...
"Well we can spend time in some other ways. For example you can te-" you were cut off by a bell. Funny even though your conversation topic was school you forgot that you were actually in school.
"I guess we'll have to finish this conversation later" he went towards his seat.
=> After class
As soon as bell rang yet again he approached me "So what you wanted to say earlier?" you tried to remember what it was "Oh right! You could tell me something about your travels. If you'd like to of course!"
"It wasn't anything big really nothing much to talk about" he was a bit nervous that you wanted to get to know him better but hey that's what getting to know each other is right? "Okay I won't push you but if you have any good stories from your trip I'd be glad to listen" you announced.
"I'll keep that in mind" he smiled at you. And then there was a bit of silence between you two normally you'd keep the conversation going but you didn't knew what to say at this point.
So you just agreed to leave the conversation. The rest of the day you didn't talk much and now that you think about it you didn't see him during any breaks either.
Untill it was time to go home you had plans with few of your classmates after school so you were in a hurry (since you got held back by one of the teachers) and you didn't notice when your phone fell out of your pocket.
The one who noticed that was Rantaro so he picked it up and yelled "Y/N you dropped your phone!" you turned around and saw him with your phone. He catched up to you and gave you your belonging back "Thank you" you took it from him and checked if it had any damage. Luckily it didn't but since you were in a rush you couldn't stay with him longer... Until you got an idea "Hey Rantaro do you mind joining me and few of our classmates today? We are going to the cinema but think fast cuz otherwise I don't think we'd get there in time" he just nods and the two of you managed to meet up with the rest on time (Kaede, Miu, Kaito and Shuichi)
"Took you long enough" Miu crossed her arms and noticed Rantaro "Oh nevermind I know what held you back for so long" she laughed and before she got to say anything Kaede cut her off "You could call us you know" she pouted. You were a bit confused "When I was about to head out-" you were cut off by Kaito "It doesn't matter now. I mean we all will be late if we don't get going now right?" all of you agreed and managed to get to the cinema on time. After watching the movie you just talked for a while while walking aimlessly and then getting some food. It was clear that everyone had fun and you got a bit closer to Rantaro.
Some time after you got back home you remembered that you had to send him the notes. You were a bit tired but it was just a few pictures. Beforehand though you needed him to text you since you couldn't do it yourself because you didn't had his number. So after some time you got a text from him.
Unknown number: Hey there! It's me Rantaro
You saved his number before responding.
Y/N: Hey ^^ so what are your latest notes? I'll send you everything you are missing.
He texted you back saying what he had. It took him a while so he probably checked it.
Rantaro: Sorry for late response.
Y/N: Nah it's fine! I mean I don't expect you to remember everything :p
Rantaro: I guess you are right ;;
Rantaro: Btw thanks for the invitation today was really fun! I hope we can continue to meet like this more often.
Y/N: Don't mention it! I should thank you for handing me my phone. I'm pretty sure I'd notice it when I got home.
Rantaro: Well you're welcome then.
Y/N: How do you like our class so far?
Rantaro: You all are pretty cool. Can't judge much because I didn't get to know most of the class. But I feel like it's going to be gr8 in the end.
Y/N: I hope so!
Rantaro: Can I ask you a question tho?
Y/N: Sure!
Rantaro: How often do you go out?
Y/N: Whenever someone has an idea where we can meet. Like for example the movie was Shuichi's idea. But so far we didn't have much trips.
Rantaro: Understandable I mean the school year bearly started and you just met most of the people if not everyone.
Y/N: Yup!
Y/N: But I hope you will join us often it was even more fun with you!
Rantaro: You think so?
Rantaro: Well I guess I will tag along from time to time then.
Y/N: Oh shoot I almost forgot to send you the notes.
Y/N: Hold on a sec
Rantaro: I'm not going anywhere.
You took pictures of your notes and send them to Rantaro.
Rantaro: To be honest I almost forgot about them too.
Y/N: Then it's good that I remembered it.
Rantaro: Yeah.
Rantaro: But I should at least look through them now so I'll text you later.
Y/N: okay see you soon
You looked at the time it was 6 pm. You talked with some of your friends and as time passed Rantaro didn't text you again. It wasn't a huge deal he probably had something to do or just forgot to text you. You checked the time again and it was... 8pm already!? You really did kill some time earlier...
You did your thing for the rest of the evening and fell asleep. You didn't get any text from Rantaro.
=> Morning: In school
As soon as you got inside the building Rantaro approached you "I'm so sorry I didn't text you. I had to take care of my sisters and one of them took my phone"
"Ah so that's what happened? It's okay I don't really mind it" but you did lowkey hope that you could talk to him more back then but hey now you can talk in person and there is always tomorrow so there wasn't any problem to begin with.
"Thanks for understanding" he awkwardly smiled. Together you went towards class and had a small chat along the way. You could see that he was still a little bit guilty that he didn't talk to you yesterday but you decided to let it slide.
=> few months later (second term)
You really got close. The two of you were best friends but there was a problem. He felt something more for you and was unsure if he should confess. Sure you knew each other for a while now but it still wasn't long time. You noticed that lately he was acting a bit off. Almost like he avoided you but each time you asked him about it he just apologized and said that he's just overthinking stuff he wanted to deal with alone.
And if he thought it whould get you to stop worrying... He's wrong and couldn't be even more wrong.
He was talking much more recently with Kaito so you asked if he knew something. You know that Kaito whouldn't lie to you and if he did you'd probably be able to tell. His response was pretty obvious "What? Somethin' wrong with Rantaro? I didn't see him acting wierd lately" his voice was more calm than his face expression. That's when the thought hit you "So he probably acts like this only around me... Or you are lying and know exactly what's up" crossing your arms you looked at him as he tried to avoid eye contact "I don't know really geez I know you are worried but I think he's fine" after his response you sighed in defeat "What if he doesn't like me anymore?" you started working this might be it little you knew it was exact opposite.
"There is no way he hates you! I mean why whould he?" Kaito raised his voice catching attention of few people but they ignored it in the end.
"I don't know it either"
"Then maybe don't assume things. I think that Rantaro whould just tell you if you were bothering him wich you aren't"
"How can you be so sure?"
"How you can't be? I mean you two spend a lot of time together so you should believe that he'd be honest with you"
"I guess you are right... I still don't get why he ignores me"
"I tell you don't worry about it" he placed his hand on your shoulder. It made you feel a little bit better.
You just decided to go with it becouse you tried talking to him but he always refused to answer. But maybe you are just overreacting and nothing actually was happening?
While you were at your train of thought Kaito went to look for Rantaro luckily you weren't around when he said "Dude did you seriously ignore Y/N? That wasn't what I ment!"
"I know... But I just feel like I'm scared honestly" he sighed "guess I'm just a coward huh?"
Kaito looked away "You are but you can still change it. I mean you really got her worried" he paused "I whouldn't be surprised if she was now trying to figure out what she did to make you avoid her"
Rantaro thought for a bit how you must feel "Fuck it" he stood up "I'm going to tell her now if she doesn't like me I'll just have to deal with it"
"That's the spirit!" Kaito gave him a thumbs up "Tell me how it went later"
"I sure will" he chuckled.
Instead of looking for you he wrote you a text.
Rantaro: Please meet me at the courtyard.
He was there before you and was really nervous. Thinking of what could go wrong and what could go right. Rantaro was ready for rejection but he of course wished you felt the same.
You finally got there and his heart was beating faster with each step you took towards him.
"I'm sorry" you said tearing up wich caused him to be confused "For what?"
"I don't know! For what I did that made you hate me?"
"What...? Y/N you did nothing wrong" he said as he hugged you in order to calm you down you could feel his fast heartbeat "I did" you were quiet so he could finish "I wasn't honest with you... For a bit long time"
Before you could say anything he almost whispered "I love you" you heard it clear even though it sounded like he didn't wanted you to hear it.
You didn't knew what to say. This led him to believe that you didn't heard him. He was a bit glad but it meant that he probably had to repeat it but you said "I love you too".
Funny you thought it whould be harder to say those words...
"So... Does it make us a pair?" he asked.
"Only if you want to" you winked at him and he chuckled "Then I guess I'll call you my girlfriend now".

Deuxième - 26/01/20
I have been in Troyes for almost 2 weeks now - wow! The travel day over was hectic, Alex and I were on planes for 27 hours. We were very tired, and I felt like I really needed a shower and a nap. Us before it all:
Us right in the thick of it:
I was so tired by the end of it that I missed my train stop đ° I made it in the end though, and was really struck by how beautiful the countryside and old buildings around Troyes are! The city is also in the shape of a bottle cork, which is pretty neat. Itâs also been around since the middle ages.
^ This is the oldest house in Troyes - from the 15th century!
I had my first day of school last Thursday, my first class being Philosophy. Still beign jetlagged and very tired, the French went right over my head. I met some of my classmates though! Most of them are good at speaking Engish, which is great when I dont understand something in French... We ate at the canteen at lunchtime. The canteen food here isnât nearly as bad as people have seemed to describe it as, in my opinion! We also visited a nearby thrift store, which was pretty cool. The bell at school took a little adjusting to - itâs a tuneful song sort of thing, and was a little jarring for me at first!
The school system here is organised into subjecct streams - Iâm in the Literature stream, so the subjects I take are Philosophy, History-Geography, French Literature, Arts-Plastiques, English, and both Literature and History-Geography taught in Englush also. Being in classes taught in French was very difficult at first, but each class seems to feel easier. My comprehension of French feels like itâs improving already! Sometimes I feel a little behind though, seeing as Iâve arrived in the middle of the school year, hence in the middle of most topics. Iâm getting there though. Art classes here are very relaxed - no art portfolio board to stress about finishing like in New Zealand. Before art on Thursday I gave soe of my new classmates the souvenirs I brought over from New Zealand - the pins and patches were very popular.
I found my own way home, and I have each school day since - at the start it felt like I got a little lost or confused in a different way each time, but now Iâve finally got the hang of the route home. I also bought some postcards to send back home, to friends, family, work, etc. Sometimes I take pictures of the buildings and things around me - I must look like such a tourist! One of the things I walk past each time is the Seine river, which also runs through Paris. Along the riverside thereâs some cool sculptures...
Speaking French is frustrating at times - when I know what I want to say, but just donât have the knowledge of how to say it in French. Iâm trying my best and it feels more natural each day. When people ask if I speak French, I still say âoui, un petit peuâ, though. Troyes is famous for itâs outlet sales in January, which means a lot of stylish or branded clothes and shoes are at a really good price right now. I suppose thatâs part of the reason so many people here look so stylish every day! At times I feel that I left a lot of my stylish clothes back in New Zealand, instead opting for my warmest options possible. Itâs pretty cold most days here, usually the high being 5 degrees and the low around -2. However over the time Iâve been here Iâve been blessed with beautiful weather most of the time, which makes the pretty city look all the more gorgeous. Last Saturday I saw the local market, and also tried some chocolate from a chocolatier that won the award for best chocolatier in the world a few years ago - miam! Iâve also really been enjoying baguettes from the local bakeries, and good French cheese. The food here is great. I also went to see the museum and the inside of the Cathedral on Saturday afternoon with my host mother Marie. It was gorgeous:
Thereâs also lots of tributes to Joan of Arc there, too:
The museum was huuge, and had everything from archaelogical history, to Greek and Roman artefacts, to beautiful paintings from the 18th century to now, and even a section with stuffed animals. There was even a few stuffed New Zealand birds. The tui was very ugly for some reason - how sad that that ugly tui is the way so many people will see New Zealandâs native birds for the first time. On Sunday I woke up to the Cathedral bells - what an amazing thing to wake up to! I tried harder to speak French with a friend of my host family - I know Iâll get there eventually. That afternoon I went to see a movie at the cinema with my host family, in French. We watched â1917Ⲡand it took me some concentration to understand, but Iâm glad I went. One of my host familyâs traditions is having crĂŞpes after dinner on Sunday evenings - it feels similar to the tradition we had when I ws a kid to have pancakes every Sunday morning for breakfast. On Monday I met a classmate in my English class who lived in Christchurch for a year! It was really cool talking to her. Monday was also my first 10 hour day at school, so was very tiring. Itâs weird getting to school while itâs still dark in the morning and leaving school after the sun has gone down in the evening. I started getting a little bit of a head cold on Monday, which sucked but is to be expected suddenly coming into the middle of winter straight from the hot New Zealand summer. On Tuesday we had P.E. class in the gym in the morning. It was pretty fun! I also found myself able to join in with some more banter and jokes with my classmates, which is really cool. Wednesdays are a half day, and seeing as I donât take Spanish or German I only have 2 hours of classes on Wednesday mornings - wow! I had my first English Literature class, which was right up my alley. The teacher also had a lot of questions for me đ I went into town alone for the first time that afternoon because I needed some stationery, found my way around alright and actually quite enjoyed myself! I bought a French baguette for the first timeÂ
(âIâm a real French girl!â) Since Thursday Iâve really been putting in effort to speak French and ask for people to speak French to me too. At school in my English class my teacher asked me to read out an extract from the text we��re studying to deomstrate how English has tonal shifts. I hope no one takes my accent and tone to be the absolute end goal of how they should speak English, because everyone talks differently! On Thursday during Arts-Plastiques we also went to see a showcase of art from the artist Deborah Bowmann. It was really fun to go to, but I did find the guide a little bit difficult to follow in French. Still a great experience nonetheless. I couldnât believe that I had already been going to school here for a week - time is going so fast! On Friday (yesterday) I had a good day at school, and found myself opening up a little bit more to my classmates. I hope I can get to know them well with the time I have here.I only had one class yesterday because my Arts-Plastiques teacher was striking today. Some people here, particularly teachers I think, are striking because of the times the workday finishes. In the afternoon I went with all of the last year students (those in Terminal) to the Forum, which is a big expo in a big hall showcasing study and job options for after theyâve finished school. Some friends and I talked to a lady who was representing the (expensive) school that you go to to train for working in shops like Chanel in Paris. Itâs very expensive, and you have to be very articulate in French, English, and even Chinese - as well as immaculately presented - because you are, essentially, the face of France. One of the other ladies at the stand was even told off because she had a piercing in her upper ear đł I walked past some of the strikers with Marie that afternoon - they were big yesterday. They caused traffic jams and there were protesters on many of the streets and everything. Yesterday evening we went out to dinner to a cool local restaurant called Rosa Parks. (It was très bon!) This afternoon we are going to go for a walk nearby the house my host family has by a lake thatâs close to Troyes. I am really enjoying my time here! Until next time.
