oh this is gonna be one hell of a week for me...
...and it's only Tuesday x-x
Today I just caught up with WuWa's main story, after starting the game for the first time in the last week of v2.3...
but then tomorrow HSR's v3.4 comes out, with the climax (I think?) of the Amphoreus arc and huge plot stuff happening...
...but then the following day WuWa's NEXT main story update releases (jfc the previous one left on such a cliffhanger so I'm glad I only have to wait a couple days for this one T_T)
so yeah. i've got a lot of story to get through this week lmao
#honestly w/ how much I've enjoyed WuWa's entire story up to and including this point...#this is probably gonna end up being an absolute peak sandwich#delicious bottom bun WuWa Septimont story part 1#middle juicy patty HSR 3.4 story#and tasty top bun WuWa Septimont story part 2#i don't know if my tear ducts are gonna make it through this week intact comrades ;_;#anyways I'll probably make a post soon summarizing my thoughts on WuWa's story once I get through the upcoming Act VI release and also—#—Ciaccona's event story since i didn't do that before I did Act V lol#but yeah so far WuWa has been kinda fucking amazing imo#by no means is it perfect but tbh the only issue I truly have with it is some of the fan-servicey aspects of designs#and even then it's mostly a few details regarding outfits like with cantarella#but so far I'm enjoying pretty much all parts of the story and the worldbuilding and the Rover is a pretty interesting MC#the harem-y aspect of the game is a bit expected given the gacha genre but it doesn't actually feel all that forced in most cases#i feel like rover's character works best under a very particular perspective; which is basically them as a sort of benevolent deity#like if we just think of Rover as “some random person that happens to be super good at everything” then yeah it's pretty cliche tbh#but if you keep in mind that Rover is literally like... tens of thousands of years old and has likely traveled all across Solaris-3 before—#—and that they've long been an active participant in the affairs of the world and have left a mark across countless eras of history...#...then honestly their skill and their openness to helping others feels very justified#like it's very easy for me to believe the Rover is a “larger than life” figure because they truly ARE when you consider that backstory#this is why I have a very odd belief (and which is probably the worst take i'll ever have in my life)#which is that I think that the Rover is the same sort of character as Elysia from Honkai Impact 3rd#The personality is pretty different and it doesn't take much to see that tbh#But it feels like the *ESSENCE* is the same. Like Rover seems to have the same sort of “love for all the world” that defines who Elysia is#Rover's ability to adapt to so many different situations mirrors that aspect of Ely as well#Rover does it by being old and experienced while Ely achieved it by being a miraculous being at birth (and tbh Rover could be that too)#what I'm trying to say is that if Elysia was tens of thousands of years old I can totally imagine her doing the exact same thing as Rover i#basically wiping her memory and traveling across the world and slowly regaining her power and memories while forging new bonds#it's such a fascinating idea to have a character who is essentially a god-like being but who still isn't powerful enough to defy the Lament#they've likely failed countless times (i.e. like in the original disaster of the Port City of Guixu) yet they persevere#i had more to say but i've hit the tumblr post tag limit x-x so stay tuned for more of my delusional rambling folks~ <3

If I don't find a new job before September, it's gonna be 9 straight weeks of polls starting in September, every weekend of September and October (including the weekend of Housemate's bday, and the weekend leading up to Election Day)
In addition, no cancels or sick days will be allowed for that period of time. Any cancels or sick call outs will result in disciplinary actions up to a fast tracked firing (to be fair they didn't say this exactly, but the Implication in this part of the email is quite strong lmao.)
Anyone wanna hire me on to do literally anything? Dig holes? Clean your house? Shine your shoes? Feed your cat/dog/fish/cow/etc? Stare at a pot of boiling water for your dinner? Paint your living room then stand there and watch the paint dry then repaint it a different colour and watch it dry again? Anything at all, anything you want, anything-
#text post#i want to think I will have a new job before then bc ive been trying to force myself to be optimistic abt the job things#that said. been trying to feel that way for months and it doesn't seem to be working or making anything happen (which isn't a thing anyway)#despite my consistent sending out of resumes and cover letters to anything i might remotely be okay enough at or could learn quickly enough#so feeling less optimistic more worried and more utterly frustrated with this job#our polls haven't even been chosen by the big news outlets over the last few months!!! everyone uses AP instead (as they should tbh)!!!!#whomst in the fuck are we doing this for??? especially when so many of our questions as of the last few surveys#feel designed to stir up emotions and piss ppl off on both sides and treat it like a reality show voting portion#rather than the extremely serious election that it is#like. are we actually doing something useful here or can we just admit that polling like this to some degree#in its current form at least is a part of the problem#god im sorry i'll end the tag essay here soon but fuck me#i was juuuuust feeling like things were calming down and maybe I could get into later fall w/out major upsets/issues#so of course this is the best time for my manager to drop this on all of us#at least they warned us i guess. the bar is under ground and my manager consistently has a shovel#but he poked his head out of the endless hole he's digging to offer this warning before he pulls us into it with him#im so tired man

All characters are aged up 18+. MDNI.
You have a dragon cock dildo, a ginormous, black, bumpy toy, with thick ridges and prominent veins, it's a gift, from yourself.
It stays hidden in the depths of your closet, never sees the light of the day, unless you have your girl friends over and you pull it out for shits and giggles.
Even then, it's not necessarily a sex toy but perhaps a piece of decor, only if your were bold enough you would actually display it.
If you were being honest, you had forgotten about it, until today, until this very moment, until this very text.
Shouto: Is this what I think it is? *Image* 3:34pm
You stare in utter shock, as your crush cradles your 16 inches long dragon cock dildo, in his arms, his cheek smushed slightly against the flared tip of the dildo, one arm wrapped around it, the other holding the inflated base.
You rush home, sick to your stomach, at the verge of throwing up, there goes my chance of even having a friendship with him.
Thousand thoughts race through your mind, of all the things he would say to your face, look at you in disgust as he rushes out of your apartment, your panic increase when you think him telling others why he broke of the friendship, she had a dragon cock dildo, ew.
The keys jingle loudly, along with the thumping of your rapid heartbeat, in the otherwise empty hallway.
You open the door abruptly, the image of utterly disgusted and disappointed Shouto painted in your vision, you wheeze out slightly, heaving as you try to catch your breath.
The walk to the living room is dreadful, you turn sharply, hoping that fate isn't cruel, hoping that he is understan-
"Oh! You are home early." Shouto tilts his head in question, as he takes in your disheveled look, "Was the bus too crowded?" He queried, as he stood up to hover around you.
His calmness scared you a little, shouldn't he have left by now, "I was just excited to be home, rushed here as soon as I got off." You mumbled sheepishly, hands clammy as you moved to put your bag away
"Here, let me." Shouto reacts immediately, thick fingers coming to grab the straps of your bag, placing it on the couch beside you, before reaching for your coat, he helps you take it off, "I ordered food, I was going to cook but that wouldn't go well."
You smile at him, as much as you want to move on and pretend that image didn't exist, your brain doesn't allow it, curiosity gets the best of you, as you ask him, "Umm Sho, that picture you send me-"
He ears turn red immediately,"I put flowers in it, if that's alright."
What. The fuck.
"What vase, Sho?"
"The one in the photo, the opening was really small, so I could only fit in two stems." Shouto moves into the kitchen, gesturing for you to follow him. You turn to look where he is looking and-
Lo and behold, a rose and what seemed like a daffodil was poking out of the tip of the toy, their stems slithered into the opening, the toy itself was placed at the very centre of your small dining table.
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Shouto admires his own work, arms folded behind himself as he looks at his own masterpiece. "If you don't mind we should keep this here, I'll bring new flowers for it too."
Your eye twitches a little, it's difficult to tell if this is better or worse than what you initially thought, "It's pretty... but it's a bit dull too, so I think we should get a prettier vase for the dining table."
You hope that is convincing enough, that he'll let go of the topic and you'll yoink that thing and shove it your closet again.
"You are right, it is a bit dark for the dining room, I'll look for different variant soon." He concludes, you let out a sigh of relief.
"You can do that, I'll go and take a quick shower before dinner," You tell him over your shoulder, moving to grab that thing off the table and walking towards your room.
To Bakubestie: Can your parents re-design this vase with brighter colours? *image* 5:15pm
From Bakubestie: IS THAT A FUCKING DILDO ICYTHOT??!??! 5:16pm
What.

< Series Master list | Next >
Tumblr media
You worked as a graphic designer for some big company, even though you worked from home—you enjoyed what you were doing; you're a person who doesn't like to interact with so many people, except your friends, family, or someone who's close to you.
You've been working as a graphic designer for 3 years. You've gained enough money to buy a house—it's perfect for you, 2 bedrooms with one bathroom each—a cozy living room, kitchen, and a backyard that you turned into a garden. But honestly, it's too much for what you do for a living, but again, you're more than grateful.
You visit your hometown once in a while to spend some time with your parents and friends; you're more than happy to have them support you in the path that you chose. Whenever you visit, your mom always cooks your favorite dishes, while your dad, well…he always teases you about settling down. Honestly, seeing yourself being in a relationship is crazy; you're a busy person, and you're afraid that you might end up with someone who's not fit for your job and likings.
“Sweetheart, it's just…you're too devoted to your job. I know you hate it every time I tell you about this, but there's someone out there for you—who’s going to understand your busy days.” Your dad gave you a comforting look. It's true, you're too devoted to what you're doing, and you can't even go out on a date without making an ‘excuse’ that you're busy and something has come up, but the truth is…you're just afraid. Afraid that no one will love you for being a busy person, and it sucks.
You gave your dad a shy smile. “I know... I just think that it's not the right time; he'll come when the time is right.”
And that's where your grumpy neighbor showed up. He's tall; he looked old and surprisingly handsome for someone his age. He knocked on your door one night. You were reading a book called ‘Inferno' by Dante Alighieri. You're so intrigued by what you're reading that you didn't even hear that someone was knocking at your door. You hurriedly put down your book and ran towards the door. You swung the door open, seeing a middle-aged man who's wearing a black button-up shirt and black chino pants. He pushed up his glasses. 
“Are you deaf or something? I've been knocking since forever.” He annoyingly said, “Good evening to you too.” You said giving him your best fake smile, “I think we switched packages, These aren't mine.” He said, bringing up the two packages in his hand, “Oh…I didn't know–” he cuts you off before even finishing your sentence “of course you don't.” He whispered under his breath, “I'll…I'll go get yours I'll be back in a sec.” You said as you took your package in his hand as you slammed your door shut right at his face.
You sigh as you close the door, feeling embarrassed by your actions. ‘He deserves it,’ you thought. You went to your room and grabbed the unopened package; you checked the name, making sure it's not really yours.
“Hwang In-Ho…” you read the name on the parcel, liking how his name sounds. 
You went downstairs and opened the door, seeing the man leaning against your porch railing. “Thank God, what took you so long?” he groans. He leans forward as he slowly walks towards you; he looks down on you and rudely takes the package from your grasp. You're stunned at his action but manage to say something: “I'm sorry, Mr. Hwang, it won't happen again. Have a good evening.” You said, giving him a shy smile; his eyes softened upon hearing his name. “Right, good evening to you too,” he said as he turned around and walked towards his home.
You noticed his reaction when you said his name; was he expecting you to say it?
Did you catch him off guard? You just chuckled to yourself and closed the door behind you as you walked to your bedroom to continue reading your book.
Meanwhile, In-Ho sat on his couch, staring at the package that he set down on his coffee table, ‘Hwang In-Ho,’ he read in his mind. He scoffed; of course you would know his name; it's written on the damn parcel. He groans as he palms his face, “Fuck,” he grumbles. He quickly gets his mind off of you, on how good your voice sounds saying his name, the way you would give him a shy and innocent glance even though he's being rude to you. He finds it cute. But at the same time, he feels bad—but deep down he doesn't care; you're just another annoying neighbor that would give him nothing but pure hatred. 
The next day
You woke up holding a book in your hand. Great, you fell asleep again. You sigh as you sit up, lightly scratching your eyes as you yawn, making you stretch your arms in the air, groaning in response. You went to the bathroom and took a warm shower, getting ready for today.
In-Ho groans in his sleep, and as his alarm clock goes on, making him reach for his phone to turn it off, he sits up, grabbing his glasses as he goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He went to the kitchen to make his morning coffee, a classic Americano. The aroma of the coffee beans filled the air; it made him feel alive. He sighed as he poured his fresh brewed coffee into his mug. 
You went out from the shower, drying yourself off before putting on comfortable shorts and a t-shirt. You went to the kitchen to make your morning coffee. You and In-Ho brew your coffees the same; you both like black coffee. Some may hate it because of the bitter taste, but the difference between you and In-Ho is that In-Ho doesn't put sweetener in his coffee; he just likes pure black coffee, while you… you drink your coffee with 2 tablespoons of sugar in it.
You went outside to sit on the bench on your porch while you drank your coffee as you held your book in your right hand. You like doing this every morning; it's calm and peaceful. Not until In-Ho walks by your house do you watch him walk by; it looks like he just woke up too. He's wearing a dark blue t-shirt and comfortable pants—a pair of loafers too. You can't help but notice how fit he is, how his biceps fit on the sleeve of his shirt, how broad his shoulder is. Before you could think of anything, you snapped yourself out of it as you noticed that he's holding a leash... of a cat? You smiled as you saw In-Ho’s black cat. The fur of his cat is gorgeous. It was unexpected to see In-Ho with a pet cat. After your interaction with him last night, you somewhat thought of him as a person who doesn't care about anyone except himself…and, well, his cat too. 
You didn't notice that you've been looking at In-Ho for a while, he looks at your direction as he adjusts his glasses, god he looks so good with those glasses…you blushed and felt a little embarrassed, you pretend to read and quickly drink your coffee, Meanwhile, In-Ho chuckled at your reaction—He somewhat finds himself admiring you, the way you had your hair into a messy bun, the way your t-shirt hugged all your curves, your soft skin…he wondered how would your skin feels like under his touch, he imagined you lightly shivering upon his touch, he snapped himself from thinking something else as his cat, Yu-jin, leading him to your porch, he tried to pull his cat away but Yu-jin decided to be stubborn and ran towards your porch making your eyes widen, you smiled at In-Ho’s reaction—he’s shocked and decided to let his cat Yu-Jin walks towards you, usually his cat doesn't really care about people, just like him. 
“Aren't you a cute little one—!” You crouched in front of In-Ho's cat, who seemed happy to see a new person besides his dad, In-Ho. The cat purred and circled around your legs. “That's odd,” In-Ho mumbled. “Odd? ” You looked up at In-Ho, who's looking at his cat still circling around your legs. “He never does that to other people,” he said coldly, not even bothering to look at you. “Oh—maybe he likes me! ” You said, ruffling the cat's fur as he lay on his back, making you rub its belly, “He's so precious—what’s his name? ” You again looked at In-Ho, who was looking at you but quickly glanced away and said, “Yu-jin.” “Yu-jin…” you tested the cat's name on your lips, “It's cute—Hi, Yu-Jin! ” You cupped the cat's face. “He's so adorable, In-Ho—” You looked at In-Ho, who gave you a look as he looked down on you, still crouching in front of him. ‘Fuck,’ he thought. “How did you know my name? ” He mumbled, so low it almost sounded like a whisper, “What?” “Forget it.” He said as he crouched down, picking up Yu-Jin in his arms, making his hands slightly brush yours. You took a glance at his hands; they're so beautiful. The veins in his hands looked attractive; it felt so smooth against yours… He also smells like coffee, your favorite coffee.
And just like that he left without even saying anything, leaving you crouching down on your porch. You sighed as you stood up, grabbing your book and your coffee before going inside the house.
In-Ho puts down Yu-Jin far enough from your house. “That's new…you've never been like that to anyone,” he said as if Yu-Jin could understand what he was saying. They went to a vet, to check up on Yu-Jin, In-Ho treats his cat like his own child, Going to a vet at least once a week, vet means new toy for Yu-Jin, And let's not forget the treats that Yu-Jin would get on the way home, But not that he doesn't want a kid or whatever, he just never really thought of falling in love, he thinks that being in love with someone takes so much time and energy, He also thinks that no one would put up with his attitude and stubbornness—he’s also a professor, a busy one, he doesn't even bother to flirt back with his colleagues at the University who's been hitting on him since he stepped foot in that university, perhaps Yu-Jin is the only one who he needs to go through with everyday. 
While waiting for Yu-Jin and his vet, he thought of you, “Damn it.” He whispered to himself. He remembered how your face looked when you were crouching down. In front of him while playing with Yu-Jin. How beautiful your smile is; he wonders how old you are, what you do for a living, but he also remembered having a book on the bench on your porch. He tried to remember what book it is, but the book cover looks familiar. He grabbed his phone and searched for something: Dante Alighieri’s book. He pressed the search button, and multiple books of the said author showed up, but he managed to find that book that you're reading earlier. ‘Inferno,’ he thought; he couldn't help but smile to himself. It's his favorite book; it's one of the reasons that he teaches as a literature professor. He's not expecting someone like you would be reading a book like this; it surprised him. He can't help but regret being rude to you; you're such a kind and gentle person. He thought of at least being nice with you—just enough for you and him to have a good relationship with each other as neighbors.
Tumblr media
Author's Note: Omg I wasn't expecting to publish a fiction regardless of me panicking about my first semester school works—But please let me know what you think, I would really like to make this a big series. I love In-Ho/Byung Hun so much he's way too precious! Let me know if you want to be in my taglist. 🖤

[𝐢 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰] - Giyuu Tomioka x Reader
Summary: You get injured while fighting a demon and Giyuu helps to bring you back to health.
warnings: none aside from the injury the reader endures and maybe a gross amount of fluff
Tumblr media
"It hurts."
"I know." Giyuu spoke softer than usual in an attempt to calm you down as he took off his haori to create a makeshift bandage.
You struggled to maintain your breathing technique as you bled out on the forest floor. The pain you felt in your dominant arm was horrid, but it was nothing compared to shame you felt as you were sloppily nursed back to stability by your companion for the mission you were assigned. You were a member of the Hashira after all; how could you let yourself be torn down in battle by such a low level Kizuki? You were able to land the final blow, but not without substantial damage to your own body.
If you wanted to be honest with yourself, you knew exactly what impeded your typically flawless movements; you were distracted by him. The same man frantically wrapping his haori around your wound in a subpar attempt to stop the blood loss.
You couldn't help it; as cliche as it sounds, you felt like his eyes were designed to get lost in.
"Can you stand?" His voice pulled you from your thoughts.
"I hope so. Can you help me up?" Your response was shaky and barely loud enough to be heard.
He slowly stood and pulled you up with him. You tried as hard as you could to steady yourself once he let go, but all the motivation in the world couldn't stop your legs from buckling. You gasped as you shut your eyes and waited for the harsh impact with the cold ground.
Unsurprisingly, such impact never came.
"Thanks." You muttered, trying to hide your embarrassment as you were being carried bridal style through the forest and soon onto a dirt road.
'As if I couldn't appear any more pathetic...' your brain assaulted itself with more negative assumptions than ever before, and you dug your face into Giyuu's chest to hide the upset expression you could feel plaguing your usually neutral features.
The walk to the Butterfly Estate was a bit of a long one, but it was necessary for a Pillar to receive the best care for mangled limbs.
Much of the said trek was made in silence.
After some time, you shifted your body so you could watch your surroundings. If it weren't for the trail of blood you were leaving with every step the visibly concerned man took, it'd be a perfect night.
"Giyuu, isn't it lovely out tonight?" You finally spoke.
"You're sounding dangerously similar to Shinobu. I have more important things to worry about, as do you."
A breathy laugh escaped your lips. You could tell your own injury was making you a bit delirious.
"You needn't be so serious. We both know I'll recover," you took a ragged breath, "I know you're a Pillar, but we're both allowed to enjoy life sometimes." You explained. As expected, there was no response.
You looked up at the night sky before taking another shaky breath, "You remind me of the moon."
"What?"
"Though, it's not nearly as handsome as you are." You spilled. You were too exhausted to care about whatever his response may be, and too inattentive to notice the slight blush that crept onto his face.
"I'll be sure to have the caretakers at the estate check for a concussion."
Once again, silence filled the open dirt road you were now following.
"I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused tonight. I should know to make myself more useful."
"You were more tha-"
"I think I'm going to fall asleep. Is that alright?" You intentionally cut him off as you knew you weren't strong enough for that sort of conversation. You glanced up at his face and waited for a reply.
He hesitantly nodded, "I'll wake you up if your breathing gets to slow. Dying isn't an opt-" Once again, He was cut off. This time, by the gentle snores escaping your lips. He sighed, exasperated, but was glad you were at least safe for now. With that peace of mind, he allowed the guilt he was struggling to carry lessen in weight ever so slightly.
'As if I couldn't appear any more useless.' He thought as he replayed the moment you cried out in pain over and over in his mind, wincing at every opportunity where he had the power to change the course of the fight but couldn't think fast enough in the moment.
---
You awoke in a bed you recognized almost immediately. You were one of the more frequent visitors at the Butterfly Estate, not because you were weaker but because it wasn't unheard of for you to throw yourself in front of enemy attacks aimed at others (most often protecting Giyuu).
"Oh good, you're awake! We'll let Mr. Tomioka know immediately." Three girls stood at the foot of your bed with a polite smile pasted on their faces.
"Wait- What are my injuries?"
"A severe laceration in your (dominant) arm as well as a fractured humerus and 2 broken ribs. Don't worry, Aoi took the necessary measures and you should make a complete recovery in around 3 weeks."
"Why would you let Giyuu know I woke up?"
"He's always the most concerned, miss! This time, he tried to sit in your room as you slept so he'd be there when you came to." One girl spoke up and they laughed in unison after. With that, they placed water and what you assumed to be pain medicine on your nightstand and left the room.
You laid completely still for a few minutes longer, piecing together the events before you blacked out. You felt your face heat up as you recalled the short exchange you had with Giyuu as he carried you to safety, and silently prayed he forgot about it.
Your thoughts were cut short by rapid footsteps increasing in volume from down the hall. Seconds later, there was a quiet knock at your door.
"Come in." Your voice was still weak, but it was a massive improvement in comparison to the night of the injury. The door slid open to reveal your evidently dejected friend. "Why are you still upset? The residents said I'd make a full recovery and the mission was successf-"
"I'm sorry." It was Giyuu's turn to speak over you. He hesitantly walked towards your bed and kneeled beside it. "I could have stopped this from happening. I could have saved you so much pain."
"That's not your responsibility-"
"It is. I'm there to keep you safe just as you're there to protect me. I failed." He closed his eyes and for only a second, you saw emotion far more intense than you've ever witnessed him showing before.
It almost broke you.
"You can't blame yourself for that! You're the one who kept me alive." You quickly tried to sit up to emphasize your point but flopped back down on the bed upon realizing you had no movement of your dominant arm to support you. "... A cast?" You shook your head in annoyance upon seeing it.
He spoke up once again. "Let me aid you back to health," there was a brief pause as he tried to find the right words, "As an apology for my negligence."
Normally, you'd immediately decline. You have far too much pride for your own good and would never want Giyuu to assume you were weak regardless. But a broken arm is beyond annoying, and maybe some extra time with him outside of life threatening missions would be nice.
You thought it over for a few seconds longer, "If you insist!" you offered a smile although you were nearly certain you'd somehow regret this decision later.
Needless to say, you were right.
---
"Giyuu, let go! I need to train!"
"You need to rest. How do you expect to even lift something as heavy as a sword with a cast on?" You desperately tried to squirm out of his grip as he pinned you to the bed.
"I'll figure it out! Come on, Aoi said I could!"
"No I didn't!" You both heard her call out from the hallway in response.
It was no use. The whole world was against you. You gave up, but not without pouting and complaining for another 20 minutes before making another pitiful attempt at escaping again.
"How have you managed to make full recoveries in the past?" Annoyance dripped from the poor man's lips.
"I'm lucky!" You grinned, before shutting your eyes and going back to sleep. You missed his eyes soften as he watched your sleeping form, before standing up quietly and leaving for a little while.
'Nows my chance!' You stood up and left your room, only to be carried back by the exasperated water breather, both passive-aggressively bickering all the while.
---
"I don't need constant care, you know. It's just a broken arm..." You trailed off as you thought of a way to get him to leave for a while. You enjoyed your time with him, but it was beginning to feel like you were being babysat.
No reply.
You stood up from your bed once again, this time receiving a suspicious glare from Giyuu. "Calm down, I'm only going to get some food."
He nodded at you, but didn't leave your bedside.
"You're... free to join me, you know." You specified once you sensed he wasn't quite sure what to do in your absence. He nodded once more and began trailing behind you as you made your way to a sort of cafeteria where recovering demon slayers can find food.
The food they offered at the time was ramen, which you graciously accepted, though knew from the start it would be a battle to eat it considering your injuries. You took two bowls, found a seat, and waved Giyuu over.
"Thanks so much for making sure I'm alright," you started, "but I swear I'll be fine." You stared down at your ramen before glancing at the chopsticks beside it, then back at the bowl. Maybe you could wait to eat until Giyuu leaves so you don't have to worry about making a fool of yourself, or perhaps you could say you weren't hungry after al-
"You should eat. You haven't had anything all day aside from your medicine."
You looked at Giyuu, then back at the chopsticks. You took a determined breath, then shakily grabbed your chopsticks with your non-dominant hand.
'I can do this,' you thought as you slowly picked up some noodles. Let's just say you weren't exactly ambidextrous. In fact, it's a miracle you got your feeble hand to hold the chopsticks at all.
'I can do this, I ca-' the very few noodles you were able to grab flopped back into your bowl and you could feel the hot liquid splash back in your face. 'No. No, I definitely cannot.'
Meanwhile, your so-called caretaker was struggling to keep his calm demeanour and you caught a glimpse of his mouth twitching up. "It's rude to laugh!" You huffed, but you couldn't keep a straight face either.
After a few moments, his expression shifted back from amused to concerned. "Let me help."
"...What?"
He took the chopsticks from your hands and picked up some noodles before putting them in front of your face. "Eat."
Your face became redder than you thought was possible as some recovering demon slayers snuck peaks at the the two Hashiras apparently sharing a meal.
"I'll pass." You choked out. Giyuu feeding you was not on your plan for the day. He furrowed his brows a bit and inched the noodles closer. You would've held your ground, but the growls coming from your stomach begged you to accept the help. You closed your eyes and quickly took a bite.
"Wow, I had no idea Tomioka and (L/N) were together!"
"I wonder if they were keeping it a secret. I always knew they were in love!" You both overheard the hushed voices erupting from a few of the recovering demon slayers in the room, but neither of you wanted to correct them as you took another bite.
---
You led Giyuu out to the gardens after your rather embarrassing meal.
"I'm not letting you train." He said firmly.
You laughed, "I know. After being stuck in the manor all day, I just figured we both could use some fresh air." What you said was mostly true; yes, you needed the fresh air, but it was more so to calm you down after what happened in the cafeteria.
He nodded, and you both stood in silence as you watched the sun begin to set. Being alone with him so long only confirmed for you just how much you fell for him; it was the comfortable silence that proved it.
You began to walk around the garden, admiring the way the plants glowed under the setting sun. Giyuu grabbed your good hand as you both continued to walk and you blushed at the contact.
"Don't worry! I'm able to walk on my own at least," you laughed in an attempt to hide your bashfulness, "it wasn't my legs that were injured!"
Giyuu admired your blushing face before revealing a soft, yet genuine smile.
"I know."

Warnings: smut w/o plot, smut, creampie, fem!reader, rough smut, fingering, semi-public, pro hero Bakugo
A/N: this request got the highest number of votes during the Sinful Sunday poll. Thank you to everyone who voted!
SINFUL SUNDAY MY HERO ACADEMIA & MY HERO ACADEMIA MASTERLIST - PART II
Tumblr media
The day had been long, grueling, and sweat-inducing. As a pro hero, keeping in peak physical condition was not just a choice but a necessity. 
The air was thick with the smell of sweat and the faint hint of metal, the rhythmic clanging of weights creating a steady soundtrack to your exertion. 
Bakugo Katsuki, your relentless partner, trainer and one of the top pro heroes, was pushing you harder than ever. His methods were harsh, but you knew they were designed to break your limits and build you up stronger.
"You're slowing down, weakling," Bakugo growled, his voice rough with exertion but tinged with a hint of challenge.
You rolled your eyes, slowly trotting on the treadmill. "I kept up with you for nearly two hours, didn't I? Besides, I think you're just trying to cover up how tired you are."
His eyes flashed with annoyance and something darker, more primal. "Watch your mouth, or I'll show you just how much energy I have left."
Soon, he decided to move to another thing on his to-do list.
You were on the leg press machine, your muscles screaming in protest with each rep. Your tight, grey tank top clung to your sweat-drenched body, the fabric almost translucent against your skin. Every bead of sweat that slid down your nose felt like a drop of fire, a testament to your hard work and determination. Your shorts, snug and form-fitting, accentuated the curve of your ass, catching Bakugo's keen eye every now and then.
"Come on! Push harder!" Bakugo barked, his tone leaving no room for excuses. He stood close, his intense gaze fixed on you, arms crossed over his broad chest.
You gritted your teeth, the burn in your legs almost unbearable. "I'm trying," you managed to gasp out, your breaths coming in ragged bursts.
"Trying isn't enough," he snapped back. "You either do it or you don't. Now give me ten more!"
With a frustrated growl, you summoned every ounce of strength left in you, pushing against the resistance of the machine. Sweat poured off you, dripping onto your décolletage, glistening under the harsh fluorescent lights of the gym. Your body was a study in tension, muscles straining, every fiber of your being focused on completing the set.
"Eight... nine... ten," you counted aloud, finally locking the weights back in place. You collapsed against the seat, your chest heaving, muscles trembling with exhaustion.
Bakugo was immediately in your space, his presence as overwhelming as ever. He crouched down, his face inches from yours, eyes blazing with a mixture of pride and challenge. "You did it," he said, his voice a low rumble. "But you're not done yet. Get up."
You groaned, the thought of more exercise almost unbearable. But you knew better than to argue. Bakugo's training methods were brutal, but they were effective. And you had a point to prove, both to him and to yourself.
He led you to the next station, a set of free weights. "We're gonna work on your shoulders now. I want to see perfect form, or we're starting over. Got it?"
You nodded, gripping the weights with determination. Bakugo's eyes never left you, his scrutiny both motivating and nerve-wracking. As you lifted, you could feel his gaze burning into you.
"Keep your back straight," he instructed, moving closer. His hands brushed against your skin as he adjusted your posture, sending a shiver down your spine. "Good. Now, lift."
You followed his lead, lifting the weights with as much precision as you could muster. Every muscle in your body was on fire, but you refused to back down. 
"That's it. Keep going," he urged, his voice softer now but no less demanding. "I want ten perfect reps."
You lost yourself in the rhythm, each lift a battle against your own limits. The sweat continued to pour, dripping off your chin and landing on your chest, mingling with the fabric of your tank top. 
Finally, you finished the set, dropping the weights with a triumphant gasp. Your body was exhausted, every part of you trembling from the exertion. But there was also a sense of exhilaration, a rush of endorphins that made the pain worth it.
Bakugo stepped closer.
For a moment, you thought he might critique your form again, push you for another round. Instead, he reached out, his fingers brushing against your cheek, wiping away a bead of sweat. "You did great, Y/N," he said quietly, his voice a rough whisper. "But don't think this means I'm going easy on you next time."
You smiled, a sense of accomplishment swelling in your chest. "I wouldn't expect anything less, Suki."
His eyes darkened, a flicker of something more intense passing through them. "Good.”
Before you could respond, Bakugo's lips were on yours, the kiss fierce and demanding. 
You kissed him back with equal fervor, your hands gripping his muscular shoulders, feeling the strength and heat of his body.
He pulled back slightly, his breath hot against your lips. "Shower. Now."
You nodded, unable to form words, your body already responding to the command. The journey to the locker room was a blur, your mind focused solely on the promise of what was to come. 
The familiar scent of sweat and the sterile cleanliness of the gym's showers greeted you as Bakugo practically dragged you inside.
You stripped off your clothes.
Bakugo was quick to follow, his eyes never leaving your body. “Fucking hot as hell,” he commented, licking his lips. 
There was no shyness between you; the raw attraction was too overwhelming to allow for any hesitation. 
Inside the shower, the steam enveloped you both. The water was warm as you stepped under the spray.
Bakugo couldn't help but steal glances at your toned figure, his eyes tracing the contours of your muscles as they flexed beneath your skin. You, in turn, couldn't resist sneaking peeks at his powerful physique, the water sluicing off his rippling muscles.
Bakugo's body was pressing against yours from behind. His hands were rough, calloused from years of hero work. He wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you flush against his broad chest as his lips found the sensitive spot on your neck. 
Bakugo's lips traveled down your neck, nipping and licking at the sensitive spot just below your ear. 
You moaned, your head falling back to give him better access. 
He took full advantage, his tongue tracing a path down to your collarbone before moving further still. His fingers found your hardened nipples, teasing them into peaks as his mouth closed around one, sucking and flicking it with his tongue. 
You gasped, your fingers tightening in his hair.
Bakugo smiled against your skin, switching his attention to your other breast as his hand slid down your body.
Your breath hitched as his calloused fingers brushed against your clit, the sensation almost too much to bear. 
He began to circle the sensitive nub, applying just the right amount of pressure to make you squirm. 
The teasing motions of his fingers had your legs shaking, threatening to give out beneath you.
Sensing that, Bakugo wrapped his strong arm around your waist to support you, his grip possessive and firm. With his free hand, he guided you closer, your bodies now pressed tightly together. 
The feel of his hard cock pressing against your stomach, made you gasp, and you reached out to gently brush the pads of your fingers against his mushroom tip.
He let out a hiss while his fingers continued their expert ministrations, sliding easily through your wet folds. He increased the pressure, his movements more insistent as he focused on rubbing your clit with his thumb while his middle finger teased your entrance. "You're so wet," he murmured, his voice a low, husky growl. "You like this, don't ya, bitch?”
You could only nod, your voice lost to the overwhelming sensations. 
He slipped a finger inside you, then another, curling them just right to hit that sweet, spongy spot. 
Your inner, velvety walls clenched around his digits. “Suki,” his name fell on your lips like a mantra.
The intensity of your orgasm was almost too much to handle, your vision blurring as you were consumed by the release. 
Bakugo's mouth found yours once more, swallowing your moans with a deep, hungry kiss. His tongue danced with yours, the kiss wild and unrestrained.
Finally, he slowed, his fingers slipping out of you, leaving you feeling both satisfied and achingly empty. He rested his forehead against yours, his breath ragged. "You look so fucking beautiful like this," he whispered, his voice filled with awe and desire as he brought his fingers up and tapped them against your lips.
Without hesitation, you parted your lips, welcoming his fingers in. The taste of your own, sweet juices on his fingers was intoxicating, a reminder of the pleasure he had just given you. You met his gaze, your eyes dark with desire as you licked his fingers clean, savoring every drop.
Bakugo's eyes flashed with something primal, his breath hitching as he watched you, jerking his cock with a free hand. "Fuck," he muttered, his voice low and rough. "You're gonna be the death of me."
The hot water cascaded down your bodies, washing away the sweat and grime of the training session.
With a fierce kiss, he lifted you up.
You wrapped your legs around his waist, feeling the hard length of his erect cock pressing against your wet folds. Your core throbbed with need, and you rocked your hips, seeking friction. “Shit.” You looked into his crimson eyes, silently giving your consent.
Bakugo's breath was ragged as he reached between you, positioning the tip of his dick at your entrance, running it up and down through your folds. "You're gonna regret challenging me," he muttered, his voice thick with desire.
"Oh, Suki," you moaned, his name a plea on your lips.
"Say my name again," he commanded, his voice rough with desire.
"Katsuki," you repeated, your voice trembling as you wrapped your hands around his neck.
With a powerful thrust, he entered you, the sensation both painful and pleasant. The feeling of being filled by him was overwhelming, and you clung to him, your nails digging into his shoulders.
You gasped out an "Oi!" as he started moving, thrusting into you, allowing his cock to drag back and forth against your sensitive fold whenever he was withdrawing, feeling your hands grip his shoulders and your breath panting against his neck.
The sound of water, mixed with your moans and his grunts, filled the shower. 
Bakugo's pace was relentless, his hands gripping your hips with bruising force. 
"Fuck," Bakugo groaned, his movements becoming more erratic. "You're so tight."
The rock of his hips picked up the pace, thrusting in the heat of your pussy as if you had not fucked in weeks, even though it had only been a day. It just felt too good to be inside you, thrusting and grinding, the slap of his hips against your mound filling the bathroom with lewd sounds. Bakugo grunted. “Yeah, fuck.” He thrust in and out, in and out, feeling your pussy stretching to take his cock, getting wetter and wetter with each of his thrusts.
Katsuki pounded into your cunny with a vengeance releasing his pent-up frustrations with each massive thrust. He grunted and panted as he plowed deeper and harder, slapping his body against yours until suddenly he stiffened as an exquisite, convulsive explosion ripped through him. As he exploded deep into your quivering pussy, he felt your echoing response as your body milked the cum from his cock with the force of your own orgasm.
“Katsuki!” you raked your nails down his shoulders, gasping for air.
Soon, the pro hero felt the second load building up, the tension coiling in his body. He gripped your hips tighter, his movements becoming more erratic. Within a minute, he shot another load of thick cum deep inside your quivering pussy. The sensation of his release sent you spiraling into another orgasm, your body clenching around him as you cried out his name.
“Katsuki!”
You were both breathing heavily, the air thick with the scent of sex. 
Bakugo leaned in, his lips capturing yours in a slow, languid kiss.
When he finally pulled out, a mix of your juices and his cum began to drip down your trembling thighs, leaving a trail of slick, glistening evidence of your shared ecstasy.
After you finally stepped out of the shower, toweling off and getting dressed, you couldn't help but steal glances at Bakugo. 
"Don't get too comfortable, Y/N,” he announced with a smirk, catching your gaze. "We're back in the gym tomorrow. No slacking."

Ambessa X Possessive/Yandere Reader
Reader is possessive in the sense they will scare people away from Ambessa and are a threat to everybody. Their hands are rated e for everyone but Ambessa. What makes them scary is that reader is smart enough to deal with threats without leaving a trail.
My Queen
Ambessa x Possessive!Reader
SUMMARY: You’ve always been possessive of those you love, and Ambessa Medarda knew that—despite your warnings, she still proposed. She never flinched at your threats toward anyone who so much as flirted with her. At a lavish gala, you leave briefly to fix your lipstick. When you return, a woman is trying to charm Ambessa, who’s clearly uninterested. Still, your blood boils. You. Will. Make. Her. Regret.
Tumblr media
Reader is obsessive, violence, kidnapping, death-threatening, implied death of a wannabe home-wrecker.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I just hope nothing bad happens," you put on your earrings.
You were dressed in a stunning, off-shoulder ivory gown with intricate designing and a rose accent at the waist. The Medarda emblem ring on your finger never failed to shine past your other jewellery as per the usual. You took a last look in the mirror before putting your lipstick in your purse just in case.
"Nothing bad will happen, my love," Ambessa offered you a hand which you took with a small smile.
"I hope."
You both walked out of the Medarda Estate together. The journey to the gala wasn't long but you were already starting to feel uneasy. This wasn't one of the first galas you've been to, you've been to several ever since you and Ambessa started seeing each other. Partially because you wanted to feel more involved in her life and partially because you couldn't stand the idea of any other woman taking the chance to entertain the warlord. She was yours and you were hers.
Ambessa's hand found yours, resting on your lap as she gave it a firm squeeze. It wasn't rough but it wasn't gentle either— just enough to ground you and remind you that she was still there and she wasn't leaving any time soon.
"Relax, dove," Ambessa's voice was low and controlled, "Everything will be alright."
You tried your best to smile at her with a little nod of your head, looking ahead. Everything felt a little overwhelming but you needed to push through. Appearances matter as a General and you knew that. So you put up with the extravagant balls and galas you both were invited to. Ambessa could always sense it that before such events, you'd get uneasy with the thought of Ambessa being surrounded by so many beautiful single women.
No, you weren't insecure. Simply the thought that your couldn't plunge a knife in the hearts of these girls made you feel icky. You wanted to though, you needed to keep Ambessa safe and close to you at all costs. She was the reason there was any hope in your life anyway. One might even call this an obsession...
The gala smelled luxurious as ever, rich Topsiders and their pompous children. You sighed, hand tightening around Ambessa's arm slightly. Ambessa, ever the observant, took notice and wrapped her arm around your waist instead.
"Everyone here knows I'm a married woman." She reassured.
"I know, but still." Your eyes warily surveyed the surroundings before you decided to try and relax a little.
Everything was going well. Ambessa was introducing you to one politician after the other. One of them even tried to hit on you despite knowing Ambessa was watching, but of course he stopped after you told him "Your lousy attempts are hilarious."
Ambessa chuckled and pressed a kiss on your forehead. "Very well, sweet child." She guided you away from the cheerful chaos of the gala so you both could quietly enjoy each others' company instead.
"I'll be back in a bit, honey," you said, taking your lipstick from your purse, "Just gonna go touch up, okay?"
"Will you be okay?" Ambessa asked warily as one of her hands caressed your waist over the material of the dress.
You grinned and nodded, "It's just the bathroom. Not a battlefield."
Ambessa sighed with a shake of her head but a hint of a smile lingered on her lips. You gave her a last glance before leaving. You walked admist the chattering groups of rich politicians, women who held their noses up far too high and Councilors. You opened the bathroom door just a little and squeezed inside, your golden heels clicking against the surface of the marble tiled floor.
As you did your lipstick, you felt that feeling in your stomach intensify as if you were sure to walk back to Ambessa just to see a woman who likely knew no good trying to cozy upto her. Even though, you knew your Ambessa was loyal, the feeling nagged at your heart. Hastily you shoved your lip makeup back in your purse and click-clacked out of the bathroom. Just as your instincts had told you, there was a curvy woman with red hair and freckles— there was no doubt she was beautiful. Absolutely stunning. But she was talking to your wife.
"Hey, dearie," you said and hooked your arm into Ambessa's right arm.
"Oh, my wife," Ambessa said, emphasizing the 'my' as she pulled you closer, arm snaking around your waist.
"Who's this?"
"You're married." The woman said, acting surprised. "I'm Elena."
You said your name in a steely manner, arms crossing. She looked from you to Ambessa.
"See you around, General," it was the way she said the title, the way her tongue curled around each syllable, dragging it out menacingly and seductively— your hands itched to grab a fistful of her luscious red hair and rip it out.
Ambessa noticed, and held your hand when she left, giving it a small squeeze, "Shhh, babe, it's fine..."
Your nostrils flared. It wasn't fine. And you'd have your revenge. As Ambessa led you out of the event venue, you were already plotting all the ways you'd make Elena regret ever even thinking of flirting with YOUR Ambessa. The ride back home was quiet and you knew Ambessa was aware of the internal turmoil you had ongoing in your heart. But she didn't comment on it. Instead, when you both returned to the bed chambers, she pulled you in bed with her.
"Let's stay like this for a while," she said, pulling you into her chest and you didn't fight it.
"Mhm," you hummed. After a bit of a pause you said, "I didn't like the way Elena said 'general'."
"I didn't either." Ambessa said, pressing her nose against your hair and taking a soft sniff of the vanilla scent of your shampoo.
Your fingers subconsciously played with the Medarda emblem ring. "Am I being too possessive?"
"Not at all, my dear." She held the side of your face and made you face up at her, "You're perfect the way you are."
You smiled. "Thanks, darling. I needed to hear that."
Although you acted like it didn't bother you after the conversation you had with your wife, your insides still churned and protested for revenge. The night was quiet and the moonlight seeped through the ceiling-high windows of the bed chambers. Ambessa was sound asleep beside you, her chest rising and falling slowly as she slept on in peace.
The woman was tired after a long day of training and her muscles had been aching so you gave her a comforting massage and sex followed right after. Your body was aching after she devoured you in her own ways but you didn't mind. You wore her marks, her hickeys, her bites on your neck as a prized possession. A symbol of love. You slowly moved away from her, your body leaving the silken sheets of the bed. Ambessa stirred, eyes still closed.
"Sleep on." You whispered and ran a hand into her hair, giving her false security that you were still there in bed with her.
Ambessa's lip corners twitched in a smile but she didn't wake. Perhaps she knew but she feigned innocence. Whatever the case was, you needed to take car eof the little guest you'd kept chained in the dungeons of the Estate.
"Well, hello there," you greeted in a maliciously sweetened voice, walking down the steps and entering the dungeon where you kept Elena chained. "Didn't expect to see me so soon?"
You smiled. Elena, her arms bound back against the concrete wall with shackles, said something through the gag but you couldn't really comprehend what the woman was spewing. She looked like an utter mess in the rags that you'd put her in to fit the prisoner look more, her once silky red hair now tangled and greased. You laughed, the tone cold and unforgiving.
"What you did was unacceptable." You said, running your long red fingernails alongside her neck, "And actions have consequences."
No one knew what you did to Elena after that because simply... No one found her. Her remains, her blood, her body— nothing. Not even a strand of hair on her head. In fact, no one could even vouch for the statement that you once had Elena in the Medarda Estate itself. Because the accusations would paint a bad picture and nobody wanted to disrespect the General's wife. Ambessa herself didn't believe the thought of Elena possibly being murdered by you.
But the woman, being of her age, had seen a lot and had a gist. Maybe she knew. Maybe she didn't. Whether she did or not didn't matter to you though. As long as you killed those who got in your way— it was a job well-done.

stage one: infatuation
Tumblr media
peter parker x fem!reader
summary: peter parker starts an internship at oscorp, matched into a robotics team led by you — you, who has peter believing in love at first sight
wc: ~2.2k
hi i've had this idea in my head for months and i was going to make it one really long one but i actually just can't wait to put it out, so this will probably be like three or four parts! let me know what you think! also, i'm definitely imagining tasm peter this entire time, but it's not dependent on reading as him at all
part two here!
part three here!
masterlist and taglist!
on peter parker's first day at his junior year internship for oscorp, he knew his life would change forever — he was just wrong about how.
he'd dreamed of this opportunity since high school, being able to work in an actual lab and have access to world-class equipment and the one-of-a-kind minds that came with it.
the one-of-a-kind mind that came with it.
peter met you thirty minutes into the onboarding presentation, and he suddenly didn't understand how he'd gone twenty-one years without you in his life. from the first time he was graced with your contagious smile, he was determined to have it as a guiding light through the rest of his days.
he'd never admit it, but that was the day peter started to believe in love at first sight.
you were leading the group on a tour through the facility, going over the expectations and rules, covering everything the internship would entail. he might have imagined it, wished a bit to hard for it, but he swore your eyes caught his more than anyone else's in the group. his jaw ached from the hour-long straight smile he couldn't seem to knock as your melodic voice blessed his ears. fire safety had never sounded so sweet.
an hour and a half in, you broke the large bunch off into their designated teams for the semester, and peter felt his heart nearly leap out of his chest as he saw you approaching his group.
"hey guys! i know you just heard me drone on for a lifetime, but i wanted to reintroduce myself. i'm (y/f/n) (y/l/n), but please, just call me (y/n). i'll be leading you guys as we work on the robotics portion of the project. i look forward to getting to know everyone on my team." you greeted everyone with your heart-stopping smile once again.
my team. not only was peter lucky enough to be graced with your presence on day one, but he'd get to see you five days a week. he was pretty sure this made up for every horrible thing that'd ever happened to him.
"let's take a quick break before starting, yeah? i need a snack before your first impression of me is while hangry." everyone gave a polite laugh, breaking off in separate directions.
you immediately turned to peter, walking his way. "hey,"
okay, he was definitely sure this made up for everything that'd happened to him.
"you're peter parker, right?"
maybe everything that ever will happen to him, too.
"yeah! yeah, that's me. how'd you know?" he gave you a shy smile, trying to not get too lost in your eyes. they were vibrant and speckled, something he was close enough to know now.
your returned smile was filled with much more confidence than his. "i remember your application. you're pretty impressive, parker."
peter was a blushing mess in seconds at your compliment. "oh yeah?"
"oh yeah. i had to make sure you were on my team as soon as i reviewed it." the smirk on your lips was unmistakable.
there was only a nervous laugh in response, a hand scratching at the back of his neck as peter's gaze dipped to the floor. he hoped it passed as humility, rather than giving away just how flustered he was.
"i'm headed to the cafeteria to grab a smoothie quick, wanna grab a bite with me?"
peter's eyes shot back up to meet yours, wide and pupils blown. there's no way you were talking to him right now, no way you remembered him from his impressive application, and no way you'd invited him to hang out (albeit for ten minutes) within two hours of meeting.
your confidence faded a bit as you read into peter's hesitance. "it's totally cool if not! if you'd rather settle in, get to know the lab—"
"no!" peter interjected far too loudly. "sorry, i-i mean, no! i'd love to join. how's the food here?"
your lips curled into a smirk, and once again, peter was in a puddle at your feet.
"not nearly as good as it could be for a multi-billion dollar company."
it may have only been ten minutes, but peter memorized everything he could about you in those ten minutes.
you liked starwberries, he noted from your smoothie choice, and you'd been at oscorp for a little over a year now. you'd started in his spot your sophomore year, an impressive feat to genius peter parker. that was the first thing he learned about you: just how wickedly smart you were. it wasn't often he felt like he'd met his match, someone he was excited to bounce his ideas off of, and it being you made him far more into this internship than he'd previously been.
but honestly, he'd be lying calling it the first. the first thing he learned from his ten minutes walking at your side was how incredibly gorgeous you were. not that it mattered; your intellect and ability to command a room already had him entranced, but holy shit. he didn't know someone could make a lab coat look so irresistible.
everything about you had peter smitten, damn near having to catch drool from his lips. the way your hair framed your face and bounced as you walked, the way your perfume danced inside his nose and filled him with memories yet to come. your downright essence was beautiful, and peter was starting to understand the sheer power aphrodite had over others.
he didn't get much time with you the rest of the evening as you led the introduction to the team, outlining the robotics project for the semester, but being in your presence was enough.
and as he packed his bag to leave and you slipped him your number 'for research purposes', he was already counting the minutes down till 4pm tomorrow.
your smile tormented his dreams the entire night.
actually, your smile tormented him the rest of the week, and he presumed it would for the next few months. truthfully, he hoped it would forever.
peter didn't get to talk to you much as your project started, but he savored the exchanged smirks and glances that came his way. he tried not to work himself up, begging his mind to not read into things too early. but every time he looked up from his paper to catch you already meeting his gaze, every time you came out of your way to say hi to him and check in on his work, peter felt himself getting further and further lost in you.
he started to come up with any excuse he could think of to talk to you, to earn a smile from you that could cure any ailment he had that day.
peter began to surprise you with a smoothie before each shift, strawberry tart, just like the first time. not only was it a reason to be in early, to talk to you until the last second before getting to work, but it freed up your breaks. the breaks you gave more often than any of the other team leads, he'd learned, your care for your team shining through in the way you taught and in the ways you didn't.
that was the next thing peter learned about you: your altruistic sense of others. you put everyone around you first, caring for people you'd known for less than two weeks as though you'd been best friends for years. couldn't make a shift because of work? you understood, new york was an expensive place to live. make a mistake on a task? no worries, you'd help error-correct and walk them through hands-on the right way to carry it out. everything you did was laced in honey, a sweetness oozing from you that nearly made peter sick to his stomach.
nearly.
peter's infatuation with you was on an exponential course, and the closer you grew, the more he couldn't help but fall for you. and the more times he caught your lingering glances, the way you started to return his smoothie favors with his favorite coffee order he'd mentioned in passing, the more his confidence in his affection grew.
it was 9pm on a tuesday night in the third week of peter's internship as the robotics team filtered out of the lab around him for the evening. they'd been wrapping up a busy and overwhelming shift as you prepared a prototype that would be reviewed by norman osborne himself. peter packed slowly as he always did, hoping to be last out and catch even a few more minutes with you.
he approached your desk at the front of the room, both hands tugging at his backpack straps as he closed in. you looked up from your work, a tired smile hanging from your lips.
"hey parker, good work today. as always," you added quickly. a blush crept to peter's cheeks just as fast.
"yeah, you too. are you almost done? i'm happy to walk you out."
you let out a frustrated groan, red eyes drifting back to your computer screen. "no, honestly. amadeus hasn't been in at all this week, so i'm trying to cover his portion before we turn everything in."
before you could even think to protest, peter had his backpack off and a chair pulled up to your desk. "here, let me help."
"peter, it's okay. it's already really late, and i know you have an early lecture in the morning. i can't ask that of you."
you remembering his class schedule had him dizzy, but he shook it off and gave you a soft smirk. "good thing you didn't ask, then."
that night set a different tone for peter. it was the first time he'd spent more than fifteen minutes alone with you, and despite being there to do someone else's work, he relished every single second of it.
he was nervous at first, his chair pulled so close he could feel your knee brush against his every now and then, your hands touching as you reached for the same tool. despite his anxiety, as the hours passed (unbeknownst to either of you), peter felt nothing but relaxed in your presence. he grew to know you more, the you that wasn't presenting to a room full of people, and he didn't know it was possible to fall even more in love than he already was. everything about you was so genuine, and when he talked to you, it felt like he'd known you for years.
it was nearly midnight as you put the finishing touches to the project, shoulders slumping in relief as you let out a breathy laugh.
"holy shit, i can't believe we did it."
peter smiled at you, leaning back in his chair to stretch out. "told you it wouldn't be that bad, (y/l/n). teamwork makes the dream work, right?"
you met his gaze with grateful eyes. "peter, i owe you my life. or at bare minimum the last three hours of your life back. you really didn't have to stay, i can't tell you how much it meant to me that you did."
he sat up, leaning towards you slightly. "nah, don't worry about it. anything to be teacher's pet," he nudged your elbow, earning a laugh that sent an ache through his chest.
"trust me, i'll do anything for you. i'll write you a reference so profound it'll be damn near biblical text."
it was peter's turn to laugh, standing to gather his belongings and pack his bag for the second time that evening. "come on, now i really gotta walk you out of here. i don't trust you alone in a parking garage at nine, let alone goddamn midnight."
you followed suit and grabbed your stuff, logging off of your desktop with a groan. "god midnight, i'm so sorry. you have to be at an analytical chemistry lecture in six hours. i did not deserve your help tonight."
he responded with a scoff. "come on, like i was gonna go to that anyway."
peter held the door for you as the two of you made your way through the empty and dark oscorp tower, tired conversations illuminated only by the faint red glow of the security lights. as you finally made your way into the parking garage and approached your car, you turned to peter with a smile that had him awake again instantly.
"thank you again. i really couldn't have done it without you."
"trust me, i'll do anything for you." he echoed your words from earlier, and had he blinked, peter would've missed the blush on your cheeks.
you unlocked your car to set your bags in the backseat, shutting the door to face him once more.
"well regardless, thank you. not many people would," you reached out while talking to grab his arm and give it a soft squeeze, so quick he almost didn't catch it. he did, though, and his entire body went up in flames at your touch.
"i'll catch you tomorrow, okay?" you gave a soft chuckle as you reached for your door handle. "that's if my boyfriend doesn't kill me for getting home this late. sleep well, pete."
you got into your car, and peter waved you off as though his entire world wasn't crumbling down around him.
holy shit. did she just say boyfriend?

Tumblr media
it took a lot of pleading, a lot of pouting, and quite a bit of persuasion for y/n to finally get rindou to agree to see a horror movie with her. he’d been reluctant, as always, keeping his usual stoic expression as she begged, a faint sigh escaping him after she tugged at his sleeve one too many times.
“alright, fine,” he finally said, rolling his eyes with a small, barely-there smile. “but you’re paying for the popcorn.”
y/n’s face lit up instantly, and she practically bounced in excitement. “deal! you won’t regret it, i promise!”
now, sitting side by side in the dim theater, rindou was starting to question his decision. as soon as the movie began, he leaned back in his seat, trying to relax as the ominous music set the tone. y/n was fully immersed, her eyes wide as she clutched his arm during each jump scare, gasping and gripping his hand tighter with every loud noise and flickering shadow on the screen.
rindou, on the other hand, sat unbothered, his expression unfazed by the attempts to frighten him. he shot her a sidelong glance, noting the way she reacted to the tension, a small, amused smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. she was so easily scared, and he found it endearing, though he’d never say so.
about halfway through, he noticed something different. y/n’s grip had loosened, and her eyes, while still on the screen, had a faraway look in them. she seemed to be shifting in her seat, her legs rubbing together subtly, her face flushed in a way that had nothing to do with the horror unfolding onscreen.
rindou quirked an eyebrow, leaning over to whisper, “something more interesting than the movie going on?”
y/n’s head snapped toward him, caught off guard, and she felt a deep wave of embarrassment. “what? no, i was just... i’m watching, i swear.”
he gave her a knowing look, one that made her squirm under his gaze. “right. because from where i’m sitting, it looks like you’re a little too distracted to be paying attention to what’s going on,” he murmured, his voice low, a faint smirk ghosting across his face. “did you really just waste our money on tickets just to get yourself all worked up over nothing?”
she huffed, crossing her arms in defense. “it’s not my fault! the movie got kind of... you know, intense, and you’re here, and...” her voice trailed off, and she glanced away, clearly embarrassed.
rindou chuckled softly, his usual calm demeanor breaking just enough for her to catch it. “oh, i see. so, you dragged me out here, begged me to watch this horror movie, and now you’re not even paying attention. that’s what i’m hearing.”
y/n pouted, tugging on his arm. “rindou, come on. i can’t help it...”
he leaned closer, his face only inches from hers, his voice a whisper that sent a shiver down her spine. “can’t help it, huh?” he murmured, his tone teasing. “guess i’ll have to find a way to keep you entertained, since the movie isn’t cutting it.”
her eyes widened as he settled back in his seat, his hand casually resting on her thigh, his thumb tracing lazy circles over her skin. she shot him a look, torn between shock and excitement, but he just kept that same indifferent expression, his gaze focused forward as if nothing unusual was happening.
“rindou,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the movie’s background noise. “people are around...”
he raised an eyebrow, not bothering to look at her, his thumb continuing its slow, deliberate movement. “you’re the one who couldn’t keep it together,” he said with a smirk. “don’t blame me for distracting you when you’re the one getting ideas.”
y/n’s heart raced, the weight of their friendship hanging heavy in the silence between them. she knew they were toeing a line, crossing into something unspoken and uncertain, yet she didn’t pull away. instead, she found herself leaning into his touch, the thrill of it mixing with a quiet fear that they couldn’t just come back from this.
she looked up at him, a small, hesitant smile tugging at her lips. “you know we probably shouldn’t...”
“probably,” he murmured, his voice steady, but his hand never moved. he glanced down at her, his usual calm exterior cracking just enough for her to see something else behind it—a question, a hesitation that matched her own. “but we’re already here, aren’t we?”
they held each other’s gaze, neither of them willing to break the moment, knowing they were treading dangerous ground. but in the dim glow of the theater, with his hand on her thigh and her fingers inching toward his, it felt like a risk they were both willing to take, consequences be damned.
"if you don’t want this, tell me now."
y/n remained quiet and rindou glanced at her, seeing that her gaze was already on him. she reached for his hand, her impatience making her guide him up her thigh a bit more. rindou's eyes widened immediately when we wasn't met with any sort of fabric at all, but the immediate warmth of her sex.
"what the hell, n/n?" he questioned, not moving his hand, but the flustered expression on his face said enough. a shiver coursed through her body as he pressed his digits against her. "please don't question it." she sighed trying to keep her voice low.
"was this your plan this whole time?" he asked and she let out an embarassed groan and rindou felt some pity at that. they'd been bestfriend's since forever and despite his attitude, rindou would drop anything in a second if y/n ever asked. she always came first in every situation, and she knew that. "so you didn't wanna watch this movie afterall?"
she looked at him, nodding her head. "i did, but..." she trailed off. "but you're too focused on this, huh?" just then, his fingers used her slick to slip his middle digit into her sex. she bit down on her inner cheek and her legs tightened around his hand. "what got you all worked up?"
y/n remained silent, avoiding the question. this piqued rindou's interest, making him slide his digits in deeper. y/n let out a shaky breath, trying to not bring attention to themselves, but the more rindou pleasured her, the more she squirmed in her seat. "are you dodging the question, y/n? if you are, I'll stop."
"no, no. don't stop." she pled, looking at rindou with glazed eyes. "then tell me. i have a feeling i know what it is." he shifted himself in his seat. trying to ignore his current situation as well. he thanked the dark lightning in the theater that caused her to not see his growing erection. "i was just wondering how you would feel inside me." she managed to get out.
"it's not very nice to have those kinds of thoughts about your bestfriend, y/n."
"can't help-" she was cut off when his in and out motions quickened. y/n lifted her lips to lean back a bit to slouch in the seat. this newfound position allowed rindou to reach deeper, caressing that sensetive spot that would drive her insane. "you're not being as discreet as you probably should, n/n." a smile appeard on his lips.
"so hurry up." she managed to glare at him and rindou rolled his eyes, focusing back on the movie in front of them. his fingers held no mercy on y/n despite the occasional whimpers that she would try to hide in her palm, the fidgeting of her legs closing around him, and the way her hand gripped his wrist with all the strength in her body. "quicker you come, the quicker you can be quiet." he muttered, tone sounding unbothered.
"i couldn’t care less if anyone figured out what we were doing, but that's all you're worried about, huh, y/n?" he taunted. "too focused on them to come?"
he reached over to y/n, using his freehand to turn her head to him. "you have three minutes. if you can't come before then, I'm stopping."
"what the fuck, rindou?" she shot him a harsh glare and a smile barely made it way to his lips but it was filled with anything but purity. he was the biggest tease ever and y/n knew this but hated that fact that she put it past him especially in situations like these. "come on, n/n. your time is wasting."
he sped his fingers up and y/n held his wrist steady before she grinded down onto his digits. he caressed that pleasure-filled spot once again and she shut her eyes, trying to turn off the rest of her senses.
she heard rindou speaking, but it all sounded muffled to her. if she listened to him, it'll feel all too real and that would throw her in for a loop all over again. his digits felt just right and she thought that if she focused on them enough, she could reach her high in no time.
that was proven to be true when she noticed that he sped up his motions even more, helping her as she continued to ride them, not caring about the other eyes around her. "rindou." she muttered through a whisper. she heard him hum, but she couldn't trust herself to speak at the moment.
instead, she tightly held onto his wrist as she balanced on that familiar edge of pure bliss. "come, n/n." that was all ot took for her to tip over. she tightened her already shut eyes, hoping that she wasn't being too loud. her sounds of pleasure came out as a moan, but it was muffled by a hand that wasn't her own. she felt the cool touch of metal agaisnt her lip and she realized it was from a ring that rindou always wore on his right hand.
"two minutes?" he smiled, watching as she carefully opened her eyes, her chest heaving with a fast pace. "i'm never doing this with you again." she muttered, looking around for a gaze that met her own.
"of course not. that would be crossing the line, right?"
y/n didn’t miss the pure sarcasm in his tone and she hated how she only clenched around his fingers once more so no matter what she would say next, he knew what she felt deep down.

timing has never been our thing
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4
The practice room lights had long since dimmed to that late-night fluorescent glow that made everything feel slightly unreal. Seungcheol rolled his shoulders, feeling the satisfying pop of tension releasing after hours of choreography. The room was quieter now, most of the members having filtered out one by one as midnight approached. Only Mingyu remained, sprawled across the floor with his long limbs stretched out like a starfish, chest rising and falling as he stared at the ceiling.
Seungcheol's phone buzzed on the bench where he'd left it.
kkuma's other human
[10:43 PM] Cheol: I'll be late again. Save me some dinner if you can?
[10:59 PM] Her: Already done. It's in the blue container. Don't forget to reheat properly this time.
[11:00 PM] Her: Kkuma misses you. She keeps sitting by the door.
[11:01 PM] Her: I think I do too.
Seungcheol's thumb hovered over that last message. The casual confession stole his breath, not because it was unexpected, but because it was so honest. So simple. The way she'd always been with him, even when he couldn't find the courage to be the same.
He typed out three different responses before deleting them all.
[11:07 PM] Cheol: Will be home soon :))
"You're smiling at your phone again," Mingyu observed, not bothering to lift his head from the floor. "It's painful to watch."
Seungcheol slipped the device into his pocket. "I'm just tired."
"That's not what tired looks like. That's what whipped looks like," Mingyu said, finally sitting up with a groan. "You're texting her, aren't you?"
Seungcheol didn't answer, just turned to gather his things from the bench. The silence was answer enough.
"You know," Mingyu continued, "I could literally feel you thinking about going home all day. Like, mid-practice, your eyes would drift to the clock. You weren't even trying to hide it."
"I was focused" Seungcheol protested weakly.
"Yeah, on getting back to her."
There was no heat in Mingyu's words, just a knowing smile as he stood and stretched, joints popping. "You hungry? I think that chicken place around the corner is still open."
Seungcheol hesitated, fingers playing with the strap of his bag. He thought of the blue container waiting in the refrigerator, of Kkuma at the door, of her waiting up despite how late it was. But another text lit up his screen.
[11:10 PM] Her: Don't rush. I'm working on my project anyway. Just come home in one piece.
"Yeah," he said finally, slinging his bag over his shoulder. "Let's go."
⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
The night air was cool and thick with the scent of rain that hadn't quite fallen yet. Mingyu drove with the windows cracked, one hand loose on the steering wheel while the other occasionally reached for the fries balanced on the dashboard. They'd ordered too much food: fried chicken and fries and side dishes that spilled out of paper bags, but neither seemed to mind as they pulled into an empty parking lot overlooking the city.
Seoul sprawled below them, a constellation of lights blurring together through the slight fog. Seungcheol took a bite of chicken, savoring the spice as his eyes drifted over the skyline.
"She made dinner," he said quietly, almost to himself.
Mingyu glanced at him. "And you're here eating gas station chicken with me instead?"
"She said not to rush," Seungcheol defended, though his voice lacked conviction. "She's working on her project."
"Right," Mingyu nodded, taking a long sip of his drink. "The one about architectural innovation or whatever, yeah? She's been obsessed with it."
Seungcheol's lips quirked into a proud smile. "She's brilliant. Everyone in her program thinks so."
"And you think so most of all."
"I've always thought so," Seungcheol admitted. Then, after a beat: "I feel like I've watched her grow up. From the kid who'd share her lunch to the woman who's going to design buildings that change the way people live."
Mingyu hummed, thoughtful. "You should've seen her face when you nailed that high note in practice today. She was looking at you like you hung the stars."
Seungcheol's hands slowed, a fry halfway to his mouth. "She came to practice?"
"Yeah, for like an hour. Said she had a break between classes. She sat in the back." Mingyu frowned, turning to face him. "You didn't see her?"
"No," Seungcheol murmured, feeling his chest tighten. "I didn't."
He set the food down, suddenly less hungry. There was a moment of silence between them, broken only by the distant sounds of the city and the occasional rustle of paper bags.
"You ever feel like you missed your chance before you even had one?" Seungcheol asked suddenly, staring out the window.
Mingyu stopped mid-bite. "What do you mean?"
"With her," Seungcheol clarified, his voice lower now. "You ever think about how long I've known her? How many years of my life she's been there? And I still haven't..." He trailed off, shaking his head.
"Haven't told her," Mingyu finished for him.
"Yeah."
"Why not?"
Seungcheol's laugh was hollow. "Timing. It's always been terrible timing." He leaned back in his seat, eyes fixed on the ceiling of the car. "She was with someone. Then I was. Then life got in the way. And now that we're both free... I'm scared it's too late. That maybe I waited too long."
Mingyu's usual playful expression had faded, replaced by something more serious. "If it's real," he said slowly, "maybe timing's just an excuse."
The words hung in the air between them, heavy with truth. Seungcheol felt them settle in his chest, uncomfortable but necessary.
"I'd rather stay close than risk it all," he finally said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know if she sees me the same way. But if I say something and she doesn't... I lose her. I lose all of it. I'd rather hurt quietly than break us."
Mingyu was quiet for a long moment, his eyes focused on the windshield where drops of rain had started to appear.
"You think keeping quiet keeps her close," he said eventually. "But hyung... some things are already changing, even if you stay silent."
Seungcheol turned to look at him, feeling something cold slip down his spine. "What do you mean?"
"I mean," Mingyu said carefully, "that study abroad program she's thinking about. The one in Barcelona for next semester. You ever wonder why she hasn't talked to you about it yet?"
The world seemed to tilt slightly on its axis. "Study abroad?"
"Shit," Mingyu breathed, closing his eyes briefly. "You didn't know."
"No," Seungcheol said, his voice suddenly dry. "I didn't."
"She probably hasn't decided yet," Mingyu rushed to add. "But Joshua said she was looking into this prestigious architectural program. Something about studying under some famous architect and getting international perspective for her thesis project."
Seungcheol swallowed hard, feeling like the air had been knocked from his lungs. "Barcelona is... far."
"Yeah," Mingyu agreed softly. "It is."
The rain fell harder now, drumming against the roof of the car in a steady rhythm that matched the pounding in Seungcheol's chest. He thought of the apartment they shared, of the blue container in the refrigerator, of Kkuma waiting by the door. Of her saying she missed him through a text message because it was easier than saying it out loud.
Just like it had always been easier for him to love her in silence than to risk everything on words.
"I have to go home," he said suddenly, reaching for his bag. "I should be there."
Mingyu didn't argue, just started the car and pulled back onto the road. The drive back to the apartment was quiet, rain streaking the windows and blurring the city lights into smudges of color.
"You know," Mingyu said as they pulled up to the curb, "sometimes I think about what would happen if you just told her. No perfect timing, no grand gestures. Just... the truth. What's the worst that could happen?"
"She could leave," Seungcheol said, hand already on the door handle.
"Or she could stay," Mingyu countered. "She could choose you. She could already be choosing you every day, but you're too afraid to see it."
Seungcheol stepped out into the rain, the cool drops a relief against his heated skin. He leaned down to look at Mingyu one last time.
"I'll think about it," he promised.
Mingyu nodded, his expression gentle. "Good. Because I think she's been waiting for you to catch up for a while now."
⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
The apartment was quiet when he unlocked the door, slipping off his shoes in the entryway. The lights were dimmed, casting a warm glow over the space. Kkuma didn't come running this time, which meant she was either asleep or—
"Hey," her voice came from the living room, soft and slightly raspy, like she'd been dozing. "You're back."
Seungcheol crossed the room and found her curled up on the couch, her laptop balanced on her knees and Kkuma snuggled against her side. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun, glasses perched low on her nose, and she wore one of his hoodies: the old gray one he thought he'd lost months ago.
The sight of her made his heart ache.
"I'm back," he said simply, setting his bag down.
She smiled, that small, tired smile that always felt like it was just for him. "How was practice?"
"Long," he said, moving to sit beside her. "How's the project?"
"Long," she echoed, closing her laptop and setting it aside. "But I think I'm finally getting somewhere. The review board seemed impressed with the preliminary sketches."
He nodded, watching as she stretched her arms above her head, the too-long sleeves of his hoodie falling back to expose her wrists. "That's good. You've been working hard."
"Not as hard as you," she said, turning to face him fully. "You look exhausted."
"I'm fine."
"Liar," she accused gently, reaching out to brush a strand of damp hair from his forehead. "You're pushing too hard again."
The casual touch made his breath catch, but he managed a small smile. "Says the woman who fell asleep at her desk three times this week."
"That's different," she protested, though her eyes crinkled with a smile. "I'm a student. I'm supposed to be sleep-deprived and caffeinated."
"And I'm an idol. I'm supposed to be practiced and prepared."
She rolled her eyes, but her expression softened. "Did you eat? I saved you some dinner."
"I did, with Mingyu. But I'll have yours for lunch tomorrow."
She nodded, seemingly satisfied with that answer. They fell into a comfortable silence, the kind that had always been easy between them. Seungcheol watched as she absentmindedly stroked Kkuma's fur, her eyes drifting to the window where rain still pattered against the glass.
"Mingyu mentioned something," he said before he could stop himself. "About Barcelona."
Her hand stilled on Kkuma's back. She didn't look at him right away, and in that hesitation, Seungcheol felt his heart sink.
"It's just a possibility," she finally said, her voice careful. "Nothing's decided."
"But you're considering it."
She sighed, finally meeting his gaze. "Of course I am. It's a good opportunity for my thesis. The kind that could really set me apart when I graduate."
"When were you going to tell me?"
"Soon," she said quietly. "I was waiting for the right time."
"The right time," he repeated, a bitter taste in his mouth. "Timing has never been our thing, has it?"
She looked at him then, really looked at him, with an expression he couldn't quite read. "What do you mean?"
Seungcheol felt the weight of all the words he'd never said pressing down on him. All the moments he'd let slip away because the timing wasn't perfect. All the chances he'd missed because he was too afraid to take them.
"Nothing," he said, shaking his head. "Forget it. It's late."
She reached out, her hand finding his wrist. "Seungcheol."
The sound of his name on her lips had always been his undoing. He looked down at where her fingers wrapped around his wrist, right where his pulse was racing.
"If you don't want me to go," she said slowly, "just say it."
He swallowed hard. "It's not that simple."
"It could be," she pressed. "Just tell me why you want me to stay."
The moment stretched between them, fragile and vital. Seungcheol felt himself at the edge of something enormous, something terrifying and beautiful all at once. He thought of Mingyu's words: Sometimes I think about what would happen if you just told her.
But years of habit were hard to break. Years of keeping his feelings locked safely away, where they couldn't hurt either of them. Where they couldn't change what they had.
"I want you to be happy," he said finally, his voice low. "Even if that's in Barcelona."
Her hand slipped from his wrist, and he immediately missed the warmth. "Right," she said, her voice just a touch too even. "Of course."
She stood then, gathering her laptop and nudging Kkuma gently to the side. "I should get some sleep. Early class tomorrow."
"Yeah," he agreed, watching as she moved away from him. "Goodnight."
She paused at the edge of the living room, turning back to look at him. For a moment, he thought she might say something else, might push him further. But instead, she just offered a small smile.
"Goodnight, Cheol."
He watched her disappear down the hallway, listened to the soft click of her bedroom door. Only then did he let his head fall into his hands, a ragged breath escaping him.
Timing has never been our thing.
But as he sat there in the quiet apartment, rain still falling outside, he wondered if maybe timing had nothing to do with it at all. Maybe it was just him, always standing still while the world moved around him. Always waiting for the perfect moment that would never come.
Maybe some things were worth the risk of imperfect timing.
Maybe she was.
⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆
Seungcheol's phone buzzed on the coffee table, startling him out of his thoughts. He reached for it, expecting a message from one of the members, but instead found her name lighting up the screen.
[12:34 AM] Her: If you asked me to stay, I would.
He stared at the message, heart hammering against his ribs. His fingers trembled slightly as he typed out a response.
[12:35 AM] Cheol: Why?
The three dots appeared immediately, then disappeared. Appeared again. Disappeared. He waited, holding his breath.
[12:38 AM] Her: You know why.
And maybe, finally, he did.

You're My Home
See Me Through You Blurb
Tumblr media
Synopsis: You and Joe go house hunting in anticipation of you moving to Ohio once you graduate from LSU
Pairing: Boyfriend!Joe Burrow x Girlfriend!Reader
Requested by: beautiful anon 💕
Series Masterlist
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
“I don't like the kitchen. Too small. My apartment kitchen is bigger.”
“Babe, this bathroom isn't big enough. I can't even fit my face products in here.”
“Did she really show us this house? Is this the best she can do? I thought you said she had a good rating?”
“Joey, this is UGLY. ADMIT IT! Forget trying to be nice! Like everything needs to get replaced.”
“Bubssss, this can't be the closet. We can fit one shirt in here between the both of us and maybe one shoe. And your feet are way bigger than mine.”
It was currently your summer break before you started your last year at LSU and you and your boyfriend were house hunting.
After he had graduated from LSU and moved back home to Ohio, he wasted absolutely no time in telling you that he wanted you with him as soon as you graduated. His thought was to look for a house the next time you came to visit him, but instead you told him to get something small for now and once it got closer to you graduating then the two of you would go house hunting.
And apparently it was not going well… at all.
In the back of your mind, you honestly thought that you were being difficult and was trying your hardest not to be but however, Joe could read you like a book so there was literally no use in trying to lie. If you didn't like something he could immediately tell.
And besides you liked what you liked, and you should thoroughly enjoy and love where you and Joe would truly be starting your forever lives together.
He hadn't proposed yet, but had been holding onto your ring for almost a year. It wasn’t a secret to anyone how he felt about you, but wanted it to be absolutely perfect.
Plenty of times he would pull it out and stare at it while playing with it. He had changed the design multiple times until he felt that it was a perfect fit for you.
This had to be the eighth house that the two of you looked at during the week since you had landed and you were once again not impressed. The two of you were currently in the master bedroom when Joe heard you sigh.
“Baby doll, what's wrong with it?” He asked as he came up behind you to wrap his arms around your waist.
“I… I'm sorry. I feel that I'm being really difficult with this house hunting thing.”
“No you aren't. I want you to feel comfortable and not to settle. If you don't like it then you don't like it.”
“I just… it doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like us.”
“Then we keep going until something does. We literally have almost an entire year before you graduate.”
“But I wanted to do it before that. I feel if we wait too long we'll be rushing.” You told him as you went to see how big the closet and bathrooms were.
“When the perfect house comes along, we'll know.”
“But what if it doesn't?” You asked as he grabbed your hand and was now leading you back down the stairs.
“We have one more to look at tomorrow and if you don't like it, I'll build you one.” Joe told you as he shrugged.
“Wait, what? But you have to like it too.”
“And we'll design it together so that it has everything that we want.”
“Now, I feel like I'm really being difficult.” You told him as he closed the front door behind the two of you.
“That's not being difficult at all. If my wife asks for something, I'll do my best to get it for her.” He told you and your cheeks immediately heated up and turned around to look at him.
“You called me your wife.” You said as you wrapped your arms around him.
“Mm hmm, you are my wife, right? Calling it like I see it. Just unofficially since you don't have your ring just yet.” He replied as he kissed the tip of your nose.
“You really want to be stuck with me forever?” You asked.
“I thought that much was obvious. I haven’t run away yet.”
“I don't know. You could change your mind tomorrow. You know I'll probably ask you at the altar before we say our vows just to be sure, right?”
“And my answer isn't going to change. Even when you send me a venmo requesting 11.19 for being a good girlfriend.” Joe snorted as he opened the passenger side door for you and closed it.
You waited until he was settled in the car to respond while letting out a small laugh.
“I literally don't see the problem. And I'll do it again when we're officially married, requesting whatever the wedding date is. I thought it was a good idea so you have no excuse to forget our anniversary.”
“It is ingrained in my brain so that isn't happening any time soon.”
As he started driving back to the condo where he was residing temporarily, he grabbed your hand and brought it up to his mouth and lightly kissed it before rubbing small circles on the back of it.
“You want to know something?” Joe asked and you turned to look at him.
“What's that?”
“It honestly doesn't matter where we end up finding a house or building it because my home is wherever you are. And that's something that is never going to change. No matter how far apart we are.”
“And that feeling is mutual. You've always been my safe space even when we were just friends. I don't think I give you enough credit because you definitely saved me.”
“No I didn't. You saved yourself and I just helped you to realize your worth. And don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise or let anyone dim your light.”

Summer, probably the most eventful season of the year. People are outside, soaking up the sun by going to amusement parks, taking walks, having picnics and most importantly, going to the beach! You liked the sun, enjoyed a nice warm day sitting on your patio and flipping through pages of a good book. 
Not today though, today you were packed into a cramped hatchback and on your way to the beach after your friends coerced you into tagging along. You had no hate for the beach, just rather not have sand in every single one of your crevices. The drive was long, four dreadful hours of unnecessary banter and dumb dad jokes. 
The beach finally came into view and a wave of relief washed over you, the idea of stretching your legs excited you – more than it should’ve – and you couldn’t wait to check out the boardwalk. You happily hopped out the car, stretching your tensed muscles.
Setting up didn’t take long, there wasn’t much you had to do but put out a couple of chairs. Soon enough you’d stripped down into the pastel yellow two piece bathing suit, floating on the surface of the water you were starting to appreciate being dragged out the house. That was until- 
Splash. 
“Fuck you!” One of your friends giggled, they’d started a water fight ruining your moment of peace. “What the hell!” You yelled, they apologized – very insincerely – before returning to their intense water war. 
“Fuckin’ hell.” you whispered to yourself while walking back to the setup, your friend Cam stayed back, flipping a few burgers on the grill. “What’s wrong, not interested in water sports?” He asked.
Maybe not that kind.
“Not at the moment,” You collapsed in one of the beach chairs, thankfully you’d brought a book to entertain yourself in case something like this had happened. Digging through your beach bag, you retrieved your current read in hopes to finally relax for a bit. 
“Hey, Cam?”
“That’s me!” 
“Where’s the cooler?” Cam pointed you to the blue bin, you lifted the lid off being greeted with somewhat melted ice and multiple brands of beers and seltzers. “The fuck…?” You whispered to yourself trying to find a beverage that didn’t contain alcohol “Are there- no sodas?” You asked, holding up the beer can.
“Sorry sugar, Danny packed the cooler and it seems like he didn’t think things through.” You groaned, throwing your head back frustrated, though there was a simple solution to your despair. You reached over to your bag again, scrambling through the sunscreen, perfume and portable charger to grab your wallet and phone. 
You let Cam know you’d be taking a walk down to the boardwalk to grab a drink. “Hey, grab me one too!” You nodded, slipping on your denim shorts and flip flops you headed over to the lively boardwalk, before you could reach your destination you came across a couple of kittens. 
“Well hello.” You crouched down, greeting the array of kittens, calico’s, tuxedo’s and an orange kitten, the whole package dealing for chaos. “You guys look like you could use a snack too.” You smiled.
The boardwalk had an old 70’s vibe, bright colors and older building designs, a pleasing sight to see. You wandered around a bit in search of a corner store, which you found next to an ice cream parlour. Entering the store, the design was fitting to its exterior, short aisles you could see over, old model slushie machines and surprisingly empty refrigerators, damn.
You greeted the girl at the counter before picking up what you needed, some cat food, a couple of bottles of water and a pack of candy for the road. The doorbell rang again, indicating that someone else had walked in but you paid it no mind. 
“Is that everything?” The cashier asked as you placed your items onto the counter, you thought to yourself before realizing your initial reason for even making the trek down here. 
“One second!”
You quickly turned back into the store, searching the refrigerator for any signs of good beverages but unfortunately for you there were very limited options. You bit the inside of your lip, feeling slightly defeated that was until you came across a drink you knew. 
“Diet Pepsi?” You read, verbally disappointed. Not only was it one of your least favourite sodas, but a diet soda at that. You pondered, whether or not you should just grab it and force yourself to enjoy it or leave for some other dehydrated person to pick it up instead. 
“Fuck it.” You opened the fridge, bending down and reaching for the glass bottle you saw another hand in your peripheral. “Hey!” You straightened yourself out, the hand was seemingly attached to a rather attractive individual. She was around your height, maybe an inch or two taller, auburn hair and a tattoo that was freshly inked. Her skin was also a bit sunburned, her galaxy of freckles highlighted graciously from the burn. 
“Were you gonna grab that?” She pointed to the bottle, you nodded. “Awh, really!” She pouted, you furrowed your brows, trying to figure out why someone your age would-
“Well, ya’ snooze ya’ loose!” She quickly grabbed the Diet Pepsi out of the fridge and headed to the front counter. 
“Are you fucking joking?” You said to yourself as you watched her buy her stuff and leave. Once you’d stepped up to the counter, you had a slight pout of your own; sad to lose your sugary carbonated beverage. You sighed.
“What’s my damage?” You opened your wallet, searching for bills. “You’re actually good to go, that girl paid for your stuff.” You looked up to the cashier, shocked. 
“Yeah, she paid for everything. Said she was trying to apologize for grabbing the last diet pepsi.” Now you felt bad, in your head you’d been calling her all types of names – an auburn cunt for one – just for her to pull such a good deed out of her ass. 
Maybe she’d done it on purpose, knowing you’d be upset, she probably did it to make herself seem like the bigger person. You wouldn’t let her get the upper hand on you, hell no. You quickly gathered your things before rushing to the door “Thanks!” You yelled as you exited the store. 
Looking around, you thought you’d lost the girl. Luckily for you, she seemed to have stopped at another store, exiting the shop you pushed past people, muttering quick ‘excuses me’s’ and ‘sorry’s’ frequently as you caught up to her. 
“Hey!” You said, now standing in front of the auburn haired girl out of breath. “Did you follow me?” She chuckled, looking over her shoulder then back at you. “Why did you do that?” You furrowed your brows and tilted your head, the wind picked up blowing your hair into your face. 
“Do what, steal your Pepsi-”
“Pay for my shit.”
Neither of you spoke, she gave you a tight lipped smile before shrugging her shoulders. “I felt bad-” 
“Why, it had nothing to do with you?” 
“You’re never going to let me finish, are you?” She asked, you bit the inside of your lip, looking around before turning your focus back to her. She gave you a look to which you returned with an uncertain one, you couldn’t read her expression completely but  if there was one thing you could get from it was just how attractive she was. She explained her reason behind the ‘good deed’ but you  weren’t buying into it.
“You pay for every girl's groceries?” You joked, giving her a sly smile. She chuckled, scratching the back of her neck. 
“Only the pretty ones.” Slick. 
“Right, and how far has that gotten you?” You raised a brow, you couldn’t lie you were intrigued by her ‘player persona’ but the last thing you needed was a shitty fling to hold onto during the summer. 
“You wanna find out?” You rolled your eyes, pushing past her she turned, watching you walk away from her. “Is that a yes?” She yelled.
“I have to do something first!”
-
“Awe, they’re so cute!” She cooed, the two of you sat on the curb feeding the kitten you’d bumped into earlier. You fed them the cat food you bought, playing with them as they wandered around the containers of food.
It didn’t take a lot for her to convince you to split the Pepsi over a basket of fries, which you folded — under no pressure really — sitting outside the Mom N’ Pop Burger Shop she told you about herself. You told her about your cat ‘Pixel’ at home and your embarrassingly large bookshelf. You got to get a feel of her newly finished tat, which she’d said was the reason she was even at the boardwalk that day. 
You spent hours talking to her and walking around the beach — away from your friends of course, forgetting you’d even come to the beach with them — the sun had begun to reach the horizon, and you knew you’d have to depart from her soon. You walked with her to her car, it wasn’t brand new but it definitely fit her. She got into the driver's seat, leaving the door open as she situated herself. “You coming?” She asked.
“Coming where?” You folded your arms over your chest, biting inside of your cheek. You had a feeling of where this would be going, and it excited you a bit but you didn’t wanna seem all that easy — but god. “I have something to show you.” She smiled — that fucking smile.
-
She didn’t drive you out too far, just to a nearby cliff. You could see everything on the beach and with the sunset, it made everything all that much more beautiful. 
“Wow.” You scooted forward in the passenger seat, semi hypnotized by the merging colors and casts along the clouds. “I know, pretty sight, isn’t it?” She watched you take in the clouds, your shocked expression making her smile. 
“Pretty is an understatement.” You muttered, she chuckled. She continued to watch you, eyes lowering to your chest that was covered by the yellow bikini top you happily picked out this morning and your shorts, she wondered, did you always dress so sultry?
It was getting to her.
Gently, she placed a hand on your thigh, now staring out at the sunset trying to play off her move. “Seriously?” You giggled. “What?” She looked at you, trying to keep her cool but deep down she was hoping you weren’t catching onto her. “If you’re gonna make a move, make a fucking move.” You spoke slowly, leaning over to her. 
“Yeah?” She leaned into you, you both smiled before closing the gap between the two of you. Lips colliding like planets, the crash was heavenly, you held onto each other like you could slip away at any second. 
It didn’t take long for you both to hustle to the back seat, what was it you said about being easy earlier? Fuck it. 
Her lips tasted like salt and Pepsi from the meal you shared earlier, you smiled against her lips. She undid the small knots in your top and let the material fall. She removed her tank top, revealing her bare skin underneath. 
She pulled you back into another heated kiss, trailing a hand down to shorts, desperately unbuttoning and unzipping the denim. You placed your hands behind you, resting your weight on them as her hand snuck into your underwear, the feeling of her slender fingers against your cunt was to die for.
You couldn’t remember the last time you’d been properly fucked, you’d gotten so used to your own fingers that you almost came at the light gesture of her caressing your lips. 
She sunk a digit into you, giving you slow strokes before impulsively deciding to add another. Your brain felt like mush and you hadn’t even gotten to the good part. “Fuck.” You breathe, moving your hand to grab her hair, holding it a bit tight but she clearly didn’t care.
She quickened her pace, building the knot in your belly. You pulled her back into you, you whimpered against her lips and you could feel her breath become staggered. The windows had become foggy and you were pretty sure any passersby would be able to see a slight rock in the vehicle.
You could feel yourself coming closer to release, one you so desperately needed and she probably did too which is why she came to an abrupt halt. “What the fuck.” You whined, tears brimming your eyes. You didn’t mean to cry but you just really wanted that orgasm. 
“Shh, don’t worry. We’re not done just yet.” Smiling, she tugged your shorts and underwear off in one go, leaving you bare. She joined you in your nakedness, getting you onto your back she fixed herself between your thighs, aligning her cunt with yours. 
She held your legs open and went to town, she watched as her pussy slid against yours. The sound of the slick drenched skin filled the car along with the moans and occasional chants of “Yes, yes, yes!”
“Fuck your pussies- fucking amazing.” She mumbled, picking up the pace. You pathetically tried to match her speed, but you were too far gone, your only thoughts were of her; just how in the world was she so good at this? She clawed at one of your boobs, watching them slightly bounce with each grind against you. She only hoped to remember this moment forever, she’d definitely be getting off to the thought of this later. 
“Fuck! M’close!” You uttered, you held onto her hips, trying to study her movements in a way. “M’right there with you babe.” She groaned, leaning close to you. 
Your back slightly arched off the car seat, the tingling sensation took over your body and you saw stars. You both stilled, feeling her slightly twitch against you, her slick drenching your cunt and both your cum dirtying the backseat of her car.
“Holy fuck.” She smiled, trying to catch her breath. “That was-”
Your phone rang. “Shit!” You searched for it on the car floor, finding it buried in your shorts. You didn’t bother checking the called ID, knowing exactly who it was.
“Hello?”
“Babe, we’re are you? We’re ready to leave, we’re waiting on you.” Cam sounded a bit annoyed, hell you would be too if he promised you a drink on a hot day just to sneak off to get fucked; but he didn’t know that. 
“I’m uh- I got lost! I’m on my way, give me five. Ok? Love you!” You hung up, reaching for your clothes. “Babe?” She furrowed her brows at you as you continued to get dressed. 
“Cam, he’s a friend. Trust me.” Shitty reassurance, she tried to ignore it and grabbed her clothes as well. 
Once you were both dressed, she drove you both back to the beach. It was quiet as you were on the phone the whole time, checking the messages you’d missed from your friends from when you’d first left. 
“They’re gonna fucking kill me.” 
“I don’t blame ‘em, I mean you did leave to get your pussy played with.” You scoffed, hitting her arm gently. “You bitch!” 
“It’s the truth!” She chuckled as she parked the car, ironically across from where your friends were parked. You were ready to exit the car, but that’s when you’d realized.
“Hey, we never gave each other our names.” 
She smiled. “Ellie.” 
You gave her yours and quickly got out of the car “So I don’t get a phone number, nothing?” She said through the rolled down window, rolling your eyes you reached for her phone quickly making a contact and handing her phone back. 
You quickly made your way back to your very irritated friends, you gave them a weak smile. The walk of shame didn’t do much to back up the lie you told Cam but hell, you’d have to find a way to stick to it. 
“So no kiss goodbye?” Ellie yelled from her car, you turned around smiling brighter this time. 
“Sorry babe, I told you, M’not that easy.”
“Oh sure!” She made a little pussy eating gesture before sliding back into her car, you flicked her off giggling. “Who was that?” Your friend Sara asked, you brushed her off before joining the others in the car.
-
That day had an interesting effect on you, the sex you had was engraved in your mind. It was the only thing you could think about for weeks, the only thing you could really get off too at night. You told Sara and Cam about your little hookup, which they scolded you for leaving them out of the loop for so long but applauded your boldness. 
Unfortunately for you, Ellie never called. You tried giving her the benefit of the doubt, making up excuses to why she never called. She was probably busy with work, or visiting her adoptive father in the south, maybe she’d forgotten about your number or was too scared to message you. There had to be a reason, a good one at that – being ghosted for over a month was starting to get to you.
On the Fourth of July, your friends had planned a small house party. They barbecued and brought the alcohol, you sat on the couch with Cam as he scrolled his feed and you went on about Pixel’s disliking to his new cat food – on the contrary he was a rather picky cat – as he continued to refuse the new brand. 
That was until Cam came across something, “Hey, isn’t this that girl you hooked up with at the beach?” He pulled up her profile and the memory came flooding back, you did your best to not clench your thighs together. “Yeah, why?”
He opened her story which read ‘happy fourth!’ with Lana Del Ray’s ‘National Anthem’ playing in the back. It was a layout of four photos, but it was the last one that got you the most. It was her and another girl sharing a rather warm kiss, you felt your eyes watering a bit. 
You grabbed Cam’s phone, closing the story and looking through her page. Her first post with the girl dated to around a week after you’d hooked up with her, you continued to look scrolling through the highlights.
A bunch of date nights, hand holding photos and the one that made your stomach churn the most. They were both visibly bare laying in bed together and happier than ever, an aesthetic couple's post; you were in shambles.
“You ok babe?” Cam asked, you got up before he could place a hand on your shoulder. You locked yourself in the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror, tears began to fall. You didn’t know this girl, only that she was a really good fuck. You could only ask yourself, how could you be so stupid.

Eight years and counting
Contains manga spoilers
The first year comes with so much planning and preparation, Katsuki barely has time to keep up with graduation and the agency interview. He's a war hero, he knows it'll be easy for him to get in any agency he wants and even though that'd make his middle school self excited, he's not that kid anymore.
He cares more about Izuku now. No, he only cares about Izuku now.
Katsuki watches closely as the last ember dies and Izuku pretends it doesn't take his last bit of hope with it; he wants Izuku to be more open with him, to tell him how he truly feels about being quirkless again, but Katsuki knows him well enough at this point to expect something like that.
But he also knows his Izuku won't be completely happy with being a UA teacher, no matter how much he loves that school. Izuku is meant to be a hero, like Katsuki. Actually, he's meant to be a hero and fight by Katsuki's side.
And Katsuki is going to make sure that dream comes true.
So he plans; Izuku needs a new suit, one that can emulate OFA to perfection because if Katsuki is going to give anything to Izuku, he's going to make sure it's absolutely perfect.
It takes a while for him to finish the design and as soon as he does, the first step is to show it to All Might. Katsuki knows he used a mecha suit during the final battle so he probably has an idea if Katsuki's design is possible or not.
"For young Midoriya?"
All Might already knows it's for Izuku, but the question is not exactly about that and Katsuki is perfectly aware of it; he can see it in the soft smile of Izuku's mentor, he can see it in the way his blue eyes shine with knowledge.
Katsuki blushes, but he doesn't look away from the former symbol of peace. He's not that middle schooler hot-heated kid anymore. He's done hiding his feelings behind anger and he's not ashamed about what he feels for Izuku. He's pretty sure All Might knows about that, he's probably waiting for a confirmation.
Katsuki nods, blush spreading down his neck.
"It'll take years to make something like that."
"I'm aware."
"And a lot of money," All Might keeps staring into his eyes, and Katsuki suddenly feels like he's being tested, but he doesn't care. He's going to get Izuku his suit no matter what. "A lot."
"I'll work hard. I can pay for it."
All Might smiles fondly at him before putting a hand on his shoulder.
"You should talk to young Midoriya."
Katsuki shakes his head with a fierce determination. He's not going to get Izuku's hopes up only to shatter them when something doesn't work. This is just an idea and he's not sure how long it'll take.
Katsuki will rather stab himself than breaking Izuku's heart.
"I can't do that. Not until it's ready."
"I'm not talking about the suit."
His cheeks are warm again as what All Might is trying to say finally sinks in.
"I will, but not yet."
***
By the second year he's already mailing the designs to All Might's friend in the US and constantly sending texts and visiting Hatsume in her new lab. She's excited about it and happy to start working on it; she's fond of Izuku too and loves challenges so Katsuki knew she'd say yes.
It takes a little bit more to convince Shield, but she agrees after reading Katsuki's long mail, that looks dangerously close to an essay about the amazing things Midoriya Izuku could achieve with it.
Maybe Izuku is right after all; he's kind of a nerd too.
She agrees to the project and assures Katsuki he can send her low amounts of money every month until the suit it's completely done. After a few weeks, both Shield and Hatsume start working together on it.
Then he contacts his former classmates, because All Might told him they'd want to know about it.
Not only they seem really excited about the project, they offer their help and tell Katsuki they'd like to give him a bit of money for the suit too.
He agrees gladly because he knows Izuku will be happy to know everyone participated in the making of the suit. Besides, he knows it's important to let people help when they can and want to.
***
He's not going to lie, the third year is harsh for him.
Between the videocalls with Shield, the visits to Hatsume and the extra hours he has to work to make more money, Katsuki barely has time to hang out with his friends, although it's not like they have much time either.
He stills sees Izuku a few times a week though because he's physically incapable of being away from him for too long. Sometimes Katsuki wonders if he has noticed, and then he remembers he's a nerd who won't recognize unconditional love even if it hit him in the face.
They talk about Izuku's students, about the UA and Katsuki's hero work; he was a bit reluctant to say anything about his job in front of the nerd at first, but he realized that Izuku genuinely gets excited and happy about Katsuki's pro hero journey.
He notices the nerd gets a bit sad sometimes, especially when he mentions their other friends, because they all are professionals now and Katsuki knows Izuku would like to share that kind of feeling with them.
It only makes Katsuki want to work even harder.
And he does, even if he ends up half dead on his couch after a very long shift; he somehow manages to wake up early next morning with Izuku's dream in his mind.
It's enough motivation to keep him going.
However, his body does get tired and it shows sometimes in the way he acts around others; that's probably the reason why he starts snapping at annoying fans and the videos end up on Tiktok and Instagram; his hero name trends for a while, but he honestly doesn't give a fuck. He's still making money and saving people.
Although, even if he doesn't care, he knows others do.
Because of that, Aizawa starts scolding him about his public image and the way it'll affect to his current ranking.
But Katsuki doesn't care about rankings anymore; Izuku is not there to compete against for the number one spot so it's not remotely interesting to make an effort now.
He'll save that for when Izuku becomes a pro hero.
***
By the fourth year, Aizawa decides to play dirty and use Katsuki's only weakness, so he starts showing Izuku the videos of him growling at civilians.
"Kacchan!"
It's ridiculous how Izuku's sad puppy eyes and his worried expression is the only thing he needs to make Katsuki do as he pleases, but Katsuki has been acting that ridiculous since the war ended so it doesn't matter.
It's not like he's gonna stop now.
"Fine! I'll try not to punch them in the face!"
"Did you actually do that?" Izuku finally snaps his head up from the homework he's grading and looks at him with shock, concern and disbelief at the same time.
"Of course not!" He rolls his eyes. "No matter how much I want to sometimes..."
"Kacchan!"
He does behave a bit better after that and Ashido makes fun of him because of it.
Then All Might figures out he's working too much, and also uses Izuku to make Katsuki take a break.
"Are you overworking yourself, Kacchan?"
Again with the sad puppy eyes! He needs to develop a shield against them. Izuku can't keep using them like a weapon all the time.
"I'm fine!"
The nerd is even better at handling him; Izuku nods and smiles before changing the topic to one of his students (he adores them as much as they adore him) and Katsuki visibly relaxes.
Which is a huge mistake.
"When's your next day off, Kacchan?" Izuku casually asks three days later. He smiles sweetly at him and Katsuki wonders for a moment if he actually knows how much power he has over him. "I would like you to stay over at my apartment someday. We can watch a movie and order takeout!"
"You mean like a... sleepover?" he clears his throat, cheeks turning slightly pink. He crosses his arms over his chest as a shield because he doesn't want to think of any of his multiple daydreams about spending a night with Izuku. It's too dangerous.
"Yes!"
It's not fair. Izuku looks so excited he basically has stars in his eyes as he looks up at Katsuki.
The next thing he knows is that he's asking Hawks for a day off and the whole agency starts gossiping about it because he hasn't taken one of those in years.
Only when he's sitting on Izuku's couch, completely relaxed and happy, it occurs to him it was a trap to make him take a break. And even though he knows now, he keeps falling for it every single time.
Because he can't say 'No' to Izuku.
***
Izuku's gauntlets are completely ready five years after Katsuki designed them. They look exactly like the ones he used before, but they have OFA's puch power and release energy threads he can use as he did with Blackwhip.
They're perfect.
Katsuki stares at them for a moment with a stupid, fond smile on his face and he decides to do something sentimental and even more stupid because he's an idiot.
"Can you change mines?" He asks Hatsume after a while. "I want them to look like Izuku's."
"You want them to match your boyfriend's?" She says so casually that Katsuki realizes she's been thinking of Izuku and him as a couple for a long time now. "Sure! He'll probably love that too!"
Katsuki can tell her she's mistaken, but he doesn't. Instead, he thinks about how it'll look when Izuku finally wears his hero suit and stands next to him.
His grin becomes even wider.
Izuku tears up when he sees Katsuki for the first time wearing his new gauntlets; he immediately recognizes the design, even though they're a different color.
He doesn't ask why Katsuki decided to change his gauntlets, he just walks towards him and pulls him into a tight hug.
"It... it doesn't bother you?" He's so drunk in Izuku's scent and physical closeness, his voice shakes a bit. Katsuki hadn't realized how starved he was for Izuku's touch until that moment. "I mean, are you okay with them looking almost like the ones you used to wear?"
The last thing he wants is to make Izuku upset with his own need to feel close to him, even if it's something stupid like making his gauntlets match his.
Izuku shakes his head, smiling up at him.
"I think it's really sweet."
Blushing to the tip of his ears and making Izuku giggle in the process, Katsuki realizes how much he has changed over the past years.
He's a completely different person from who he was in elementary, middle and even the first year of high-school.
The old Bakugo was made of various layers of anger issues and insecurities that were falling off of him as he grew as a person, leaving only Bakugo Kacchan in their place.
He's Izuku's Kacchan now. The version of himself that was born the moment he met little Izuku and wanted to be a pro hero with him; he's always been Izuku's Kacchan.
And he's mature enough to admit and embrace that now.
***
It's the second time, in years, his parents pay him a visit; Katsuki has been avoiding that moment as much as he could, going to their house instead, but his mother probably got suspicious and decided to find out what was going on by herself.
She takes a look around and quirks up a brow at him, even though Katsuki is doing everything in his power to ignore her.
He focuses on his Dad instead, but Masaru has a terrible poker face so Katsuki can tell he's noticed his son lives exactly the way he did when he started working as a pro hero.
"You haven't redecorated the place yet, huh?" he offers kindly, prompting Katsuki to roll his eyes.
He's aware of what's coming. It doesn't matter how much his Dad tries to dismiss the subject because he knows his son doesn't want to talk about it.
But Bakugo Mitsuki doesn't like that type of approach.
"Why do you still live in this crappy ass apartment?" There it goes. His mother crosses both arms over her chest and Katsuki knows she will not leave until he gives her a good explanation. "I thought you made good money! It's been years, brat! Don't tell me you somehow got attached to this place?"
Katsuki pinches the bridge of his nose, takes a deep breath, sits both his parents on the couch and offers them tea as he start explaining everything to them.
By the time he's done he looks up only to find them staring back at him with a very proud smile on both their faces.
Masaru hugs him before his mother starts ruffling his hair in a way she hasn't done since Katsuki was in elementary.
"He's going to love it," his father assures him; a little bit of the weight Katsuki has been carrying over his shoulders vanishes because even though he knows Izuku, part of him was sightly afraid he wouldn't like it.
They spend the rest of the afternoon looking at Katsuki's first designs as he tells them in detail how each piece is going to work.
"We've been testing them for a while and they work quite well," he says with a satisfied smile.
"What about the measurements?" Mitsuki asks then. "If you want to keep this a secret from him, how do you plan to make this fit to his body type?"
"I know Izuku's measurements," he says with a confident smirk that quickly vanishes as soon as he watches his parents exchanging a look. "Not like that! I've know him my whole life! I know him better than anyone!"
There's an uncomfortable silence before Mitsuki shakes her head with an amused grin on her face.
"You know an engagement ring would have been way cheaper than this, right?"
"Shut up!"
***
The UA students know him quite well now, especially Izuku's students. Uraraka and Todoroki help Izuku too every now and then, but Katsuki is the only one who's always available when Izuku calls.
And no, not all the students are fond of him, especially because he plays the villain quite often and he easily defeats them in the blink of an eye.
"Don't be too hard on them, Kacchan!"
"How will they learn what a real battle looks like if I'm not, Izuku?"
After a while, Katsuki hears a couple of students calling him Midoriya-sensei's boyfriend and he doesn't correct any of them.
Then the rumor reaches social media and Katsuki doesn't bother to deny it during interviews either; he only says he doesn't like to talk about his private life, which only makes everyone think it's true.
He's being selfish and he knows it, but he doesn't care at all.
However, Izuku apparently does because he corrects his students when they call them a couple, and even though he's telling nothing but the truth, it hurts Katsuki a bit.
"What is it, Kacchan?" Izuku notices immediately of course, and looks back at him with concern. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," he manages to smile, reminding himself that Izuku's suit is almost done and they'll be hero partners soon.
It's all that matters.
"You're an idiot!" Ashido hits him on the back of his head as they have lunch together outside her agency; it's been years since he has actually seen her face to face, and that's the first thing she does? He shouldn't have come. "Why haven't you told him?"
Katsuki huffs, getting slightly irritated.
"We have already discussed this. If the suit is not rea–"
"Not about that!" She rolls her eyes before taking her phone and showing it to him, almost shoving it to his face. "I'm talking about this!"
It's a picture of Katsuki in his hero suit talking to Izuku; they're in the UA so one of the students must have taken it.
Katsuki doesn't need her to say anything else for him to understand what she's talking about; it's written all over his face, in the fondness of smile and the glimmer in his eyes.
He's sure out of all the pictures of pro hero Dynamight on the internet, that's the only one in which he's smiling that softly.
Because it's the only picture of him looking directly at Izuku.
"I will tell him... eventually," he mumbles in a tone that lets Ashido know he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
Izuku needs to focus on fulfilling his dream first.
***
It's been eight years since Katsuki started this project and now that Izuku's suit is finally done, he has decided that the right person to hand it to Izuku is All Might.
"You should be there too," the man insists, giving him an encouraging smile.
Katsuki shakes his head, looking at the floor; it'd be too overwhelming for him, he's sure he'll tear up if he sees Izuku's face when he gets the suit.
He asks All Might to tell Izuku that everyone funded his suit, that they contributed the same amount to it.
The next day he's back at the agency to keep himself busy; he's about to head to his first patrol of the week when Izuku walks in, wearing his hero suit.
Katsuki chokes, blushes and almost tears up at the same time.
He looks perfect.
"Thank you, Kacchan."
The blinding smile and the happiness in his voice is what ends up undoing him, because what he realizes in that moment is that Izuku hasn't smiled so freely, so sincerely in years and Katsuki is the reason he does now.
He starts tearing up the way he did that day at the hospital, the only difference is that it's happiness what makes him so emotional this time.
Izuku takes a few steps closer and presses their foreheads together.
"Thanks for making my dreams come true."
"It wasn't just me," Katsuki manages to say, but his voice sounds choked. "Everyone-"
"I know you planned it, designed it, got everyone together to work on it and paid the most for it. All Might told me everything."
"The old man can't keep a damned secret now..."
Izuku chuckles and his laughter is music to Katsuki's ears; it's true, he doesn't care how sappy it sounds. Izuku's happy chuckle is the best kind of music to him.
Then, Izuku takes his face in his hands and makes him look down at him.
"I love you too, Kacchan."
Katsuki is sure he's dreaming; it must be getting late, he needs to wake up.
But then Izuku kisses him and the kiss is clumsy and wet, but it's perfect because it's their first and now Katsuki knows it's real.
***
He doesn't need to work extra hours now, which means he has time to help Izuku train to get used to his new suit and the quirks it comes with.
It takes him just two months to accomplish that, and another one to feel ready to apply to Hawks' agency.
"I'm ready to get a hero partner now."
"Really?" Hawks looks at him in disbelief before grinning. "Alright, I have a few suggestions..."
"I want Deku."
Hawks rolls his eyes, but doesn't look surprised in the slightest.
"At least wait for me to hire him first," Hawks continues, staring up at Katsuki with a little bit of irritation. "I just got his application."
"Well, when you do, make him my partner," he's aware that he sounds demanding and although he's not like that anymore, he can't hold back the urgency in his voice because he has waited for that moment for eight years.
"I can't," Hawks says, taking a deep breath, bracing himself for a long discussion. "Even though Deku is a war hero and I'm sure he'll become an excellent pro hero, he has to start at the bottom, like everyone else. However, if I put you with him, you'll have to endure all those boring patrols and easy missions that are given to new heroes in training."
"I know that. Just put me with him. We'll get to the top in no time."
Hawks stares at him and blinks a few times before chuckling.
"Well damn. Guess they weren't rumors after all," he smirks. "Alright. Just invite me to the wedding."
"Will do."
***
Katsuki hears Izuku ramble excitedly about being hero partners and their first patrol together in the comfort of their shared apartment, one that his mother finally approves of, although he has the feeling that she doesn't care that much about the place, but the person her son is living with.
Mitsuki has always loved Izuku.
They have breakfast, Katsuki prepares two bentos for the both of them and they head to the agency, directly to the locker room.
Even though it's not his first patrol, Katsuki notices his heart beating faster as he walks out as Dynamight, right next to Izuku wearing the suit he worked so hard for.
The suit that made their dreams come true.
"Come, Deku," he says, because he can do that now, he can offer his hand to Izuku, knowing he'll take it without hesitation and a blinding smile on his face.
They're partners now, in more ways than one.
It's been eight years to get to this point, but Katsuki know it's just the beginning for the both of them.

◇ The way they take care of you during your period ◇
◇ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ◇ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ◇
💫 [ Girl, I hate this heavenly punishment for being a woman. But don't worry, these sweet kittens will take care of you during this lame time ]
◇ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ◇ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ◇
ㅡ Suo, Umemiya, Kotoha, Sakura, Tsubakino, Kaji
Tumblr media
Suo
Suo has found warm-ups that alleviate the pain of cramps so that you use less painkillers (after all, they can have a negative effect on the body). He comes to you and does this workout with you. He also brings tea that has a calming effect and makes it for you.
Suo is patient enough, but in your case, it can be said that he has a separate oasis of calm in reserve for you. If you feel like a mess, then he will take you on his lap and hug you. Not too tight, so that you feel more free, but not too weak, so that you feel comfortable until you get up yourself.
Suo is not simpleton. He studied the intricacies of the female anatomy when you started dating so that nothing would catch him off guard in the future. Therefore, he understands why this is happening scientifically but doesn't understand why the world is designed so that the wonderful sex suffers every month.
Tumblr media
Umemiya
A white-haired man runs out of the "Pothos" and Kotoha shouts after him.
《 Don't forget to buy a heating pad!! 》
And all because 2 minutes ago you wrote that you needed his warm embrace.
Umemiya is absolutely fine with the topic of menstruation. He is one of those guys who will go to the store and ask the saleswoman to advise him on the topic of pads/tampons.
What are the safest ones for your health? Which are the most convenient?
Hajime will study everything with a serious attitude in order to take good care of you during this period.
He will definitely download the calendar app and set your dates there to prepare in advance.
And of course, he went to Kotoha to get a lecture on how best to take care of you.
Don't worry, honey, Kotoha will definitely bring him up strictly as it should be.
Tumblr media
Kotoha
God, this girl is so sweet. Next to her, all your bad feelings seem to be blown away by the wind.
Who but a woman will understand another woman.
She'll take good care of you: sweets, painkillers, hugs, everything for you.
She will definitely take a day off from Pothos to be with you during this period.
Long, sweet conversations to distract you from feeling unwell, cooking delicious omuraisu for you, it's all about Kotoha.
A cozy movie night? Definitely.
Well, if you want ice cream, then there is always Umemiya, whom she will send to the store as a deliveryman.
Tumblr media
Sakura
This boy doesn't understand women's stuff at all. Of course, he will be confused at first when he hears an explanation of why you look so exhausted.
Sakura can't stand the sight of the only person he let into his heart suffering so much. He wants to help, but he doesn't know how, and because of this he is very angry with himself.
It's understandable, this little savage does not even know how to take care of himself properly, what does it say about taking care of others? However, this does not mean that he does not want to.
《 Damn, stop suffering in silence. Just tell me, what should I do? I'll do it right now 》
Sakura will blush like a tomato, standing in the store at the shelf with feminine hygiene products, but this does not mean that he won't get a full bag, because his embarrassment can't be compared with the desire to benefit you.
Upon hearing your request for a hug, Sakura will turn to you all blushed, but as soon as he sees your slightly swollen, tired eyes, his body will start moving on its own. Embarrassment doesn't stop him anymore, this is not the time to worry about it.
His arms wrap around you, pressing you against a warm body as if you are about to disappear and he has to hold you.
Yes, he's not experienced in such things yet, but he's trying his best for you.
Tumblr media
Tsubakino
Tsubakino is very gentle, but when you feel bad, he reaches his peak.
Tasuki has never experienced anything like this, but he's very knowledgeable about this topic.
He immediately notices when you feel bad, even if you try to hide it. And he will immediately take you home to give you a sense of comfort and relaxation.
Tsubakino will distract you from unpleasant sensations with all sorts of beauty treatments: moisturizing face masks, manicure, massage, everything for your comfort.
Do you want some sweets? ㅡ He will bake you cookies.
Do you want to cry and lament? ㅡ Don't keep it to yourself, honey. He will wrap you in a plaid, and his gentle fingers will wipe the tears from your eyes, holding you in a tight embrace for as long as it takes.
Tumblr media
Kaji
Kaji will leave the patrol of the city, leaving it to his team to be with you at this time.
He doesn't quite understand how best to behave in such a situation, but his beloved feels unwell, which means he will do everything he can to make you feel better.
Ren will listen to your instructions and silently run back and forth, doing them.
He will bring you a jar of lollipops from his house so that you can choose what you like.
If you want to complain about your condition, he will listen to everything, and then put his headphones on your ears, turn on calm music and sit next to you, stroking your hand.

The 14DWY brainrot is real... >_< were ypu planning on sharing koi ren's design here too or is it discord only for now? remember to drink lots n lots of water today 🐸☔️
i don't rmbr if i included this but can you share any koi crumbs too?
✦゜ANSWERED: aaaaa I'm 14 years late to this ask (/silly), but thank you for reminding me!! I'll add the new Mer Ren design to da queue >:3
I'll also put the Koi Ren (I'm rocking with this new name!!) crumbs under the cut!!
Tumblr media
"Stop rocking the boat, Ren." Without sparing a glance in his direction, you continue to stare out into the vast, open lake. "You'll scare away all the fish."
Had you turned around, you would've seen the faux-deadpan look on his face as Ren takes in the irony of your words. As if to prove a point, he gently swishes his tail in the water, which causes small ripples to form and (eventually) disturb your bobber. "I don't think the boat is the problem here."
"Okay, how about this... One more fish, then we can go back." You finally look back at your scaley companion — who was still leaning against the edge of your tin boat with a lazy smile — and give him a resolute nod. "Promise."
"Sure," Ren casually reaches into the boat to pick and pluck at some of your live bait. "But you said that about the last three fish."
"This will be the last one. I swear."
"You... swear?" You try to ignore the way Ren swallows up one of your minnows as if you weren't using them for bait as he continues to speak, "Like... curse words? Humans sure are weird creatures."
As if realising his comment, Ren's ocean-blue eyes widen slightly and shift towards your form. "N-Not... Not you, though."
With a laugh, you playfully try to nudge him off of the boat. All it does is cause it to tip slightly, but Ren steadies it when you show signs of losing balance.
"Alright. One more fish, then?"
You nod and cast your attention back to your rod once more. You don't even notice the silence — nor Ren slipping away — until you suddenly feel a tug on your line and call out to your companion in excitement. "That was quick!"
Quickly reeling it in, you wonder what kind of fish you'd just caught — it's definitely stronger than you anticipated, given how the rod drastically bends and snaps at every movement from the fish. And just as you see the shadow from the murky depths get closer, the ripples get bigger and cause a stir underneath your tin boat. Standing up now, you try with all your might to reel it on board...
...Only for a mess of black hair to emerge from below and peer up at you with a smug look.
"Ren!"
"Looks like you got a big one."
"C'moooon." You practically whine, though you allow Ren to haul himself into your tiny boat and rest his head in your lap. You can still feel his body shake from underneath your touch, no doubt still laughing at his poor attempt at a joke. "This doesn't count."
A beat passes before your fishy companion responds. "...Hm? Fine then."
Another moment of silence follows before he slithers back into the water without another word. Half of you worries that you might've said something to offend him (there was still the tiniest hint of a language barrier between you two). Still, it ultimately leads to nothing as Ren soon emerges once more — only this time, he's hauling the biggest largemouth bass you'd ever seen into your boat.
"This good enough?" He looks at you with wide, blue eyes. "If not, I can probably find a sturgeon and—"
"It's bigger than my boat!"
"Is this what your kind calls... exaggeration? Because your boat is big enough even for me to—"
"—Arghh! It's getting water everywhere! Put it back!"
It was almost comical how Ren tossed the fish over his shoulder and back into the water without breaking eye contact with you.
Another wave of silence hits, yet neither of you seems to move or break the awkward staring contest you'd somehow started. It's then when you notice Ren's grin get bigger — most likely at your resignation and embarrassment — which causes you to fall back into your seat in defeat.
"Fine. Enough fishing for today. Let's head back." Busying yourself with the bucket of fish and tacklebox in front of you, you secure your gear and pack everything away. But it seems Ren had other plans, seeing as he took it upon himself to climb back into your boat and rest his arms on your legs. No longer able to move as freely, you have no choice but to indulge in his carefree whims.
"But you caught me. Aren't you going to bring me home too?"
"As much as I want to," Truly, you do. You've always wanted to show Ren the world outside of Lake Bluemoss. "There's no way I'm carrying you all the way down the mountain."
"You never know until you cry."
"Try." You correct him. "Until you try."
"Your kind sure are funny." Ren nuzzles himself closer. "Perhaps another time, then... Stay here tonight."
Your body pricks up at his words, and you spare a glance at the abandoned boathouse near the dock. Despite its rough and rugged exterior, you and Ren actually made it quite comfy. It had some of your old blankets and sheets thrown over one of the boats to make it comfortable to lounge in — alongside a giant empty tank that you and Ren filled with water for him to sit in as well. Despite the lack of human traction, the place still felt homey and well-loved.
"...I guess I could."
"Then what are we waiting shore?"
You had to roll your eyes at his attempt at a pun.
