The Baby Project Chapter 3
Izuku Midoriya x reader
chapter one, chapter two
Summary: Izuku declares, âIâm right here.â Like itâs the most natural thing to him. tw: Dead beats, pee, angst and fluff, idk what else. Izuku and mc will be fast paced but it's alright.
You jolt awake by a babyâs scream. You gasp and look around for the source of the vicious noise in the dark. You pat around for your phone, totally believing itâs some demonic alarm clock. A sniffle in the dark knocks that theory out. Immediately, you take your eye mask off and go to his bassinet. âWhatâs wrong, little ma-â
  Heâs bigger and busting out of his onesie. You unbuckle it and take it off as carefully as you can. âItâs okay, itâs okay.âÂ
  He has red marks on his legs and arms from the tightness of the clothing. You rub them in an attempt to soothe him then fit him into a new diaper. Itâs good luck that you accidentally got the wrong size that one time. âPoor baby,â
  You kiss his head, talking low and calmly. âI know, itâs rough growing up. Itâs even tougher when you donât understand it.âÂ
  He starts to calm down and is able to no longer have his head totally supported. It raises a little then settles back down as he is close to your chest. âAre you okay, now? You only got a diapy on!â You say in a light tone, making him huff. You pepper him with kisses and set him back down. Since heâs bigger, you check him and see that it still says four months.
 âYou ate your Wheaties or something?â Something isnât right. Heâs bigger than the average four month old yet shows nothing in his age. He can even hold his head up completely.
   You kiss his forehead and see him look up at him with what you could swear is love. His face is still chubby and his eyes still sparkle. If it werenât for the school insisting on it, youâd swear there is a soul behind those eyes. You go to your desk and flip the flower lamp on. Underneath it is the paper part of the project. It asks questions of each month, the costs, and experiences. How far did the age jump and when. That partâs redundant since Hatsume is tracking the exact time and ages. Then again, this entire project is dumb so why wouldnât there be dumb questions?
   âI better write all of this down.â So, you do. You finally start to do that part of the assignment. Write your experience on the paper and his milestones. Itâs early in the morning now and Noa is quick to rest again, funnily enough. You decide to leave out Kaibaraâs lack of involvement since they already know that. You still canât believe you told the teachers. You canât believe he got aggressive with you because he didnât like pink on his son. Now, itâs like a waiting game to see Kaibaraâs next move. Itâs the suspense and the end result. Facing him head on is of course nerve wracking, but the ending is scary.
   The fluffy pen grazes across the paper effortlessly as you reminisce. This project started just recently, and youâve already learned so much about babies and life. You just wish you didnât have to learn it this way. You wish the heroes would actually care about anyone but themselves. Then again, they have let too many people slip through the cracks to erase that possibility.
 You fall asleep at your desk. Drool slides out your mouth and onto the surface and part of the paper. Noa is quiet, resting peacefully in Yonaâs gifted bed. You had a dreamless sleep once again. The birds tweet as the sun pokes through your curtains. You turn your head and sigh. The door knocks hurriedly, waking you up fully. You wipe the drool from your mouth and walk to the door with shaky legs. âWhat?â Your voice is thick with sleep and sand in your eyes.Â
  âWhere were you?â Riko stands in front of you. You blink a couple of times to register it. âYouâre back!âÂ
  âYeah, and you werenât. Where were you?â
You notice her uniform. âWhat? What time is it?â
âNoon! Snipe is looking for you and wanted me to get you.â Your alarm didnât go off. Noa would have let you know with a wail if something woke him up. âM-my alarm-â you rush to your bedside and see the device blank.Â
It was set, youâre sure of it. Your eyes look around and see some things have moved. Did you really have a dreamless sleep? You look at Noa and wonder if quirks can affect them since theyâre so life like.
  âOh shitâŚokay, Iâll get ready. Tell him Iâm coming.â You look around dazed then grab your bathing items. When you go to grab Noa, Riko stops you. âCan I do it?â
Youâd prefer her to handle Snipe but youâre not going to argue. âSure. Iâll just be a moment, I promise.â You wondered why she would want to given what happened. After your extremely fast shower, you brush your teeth and switch rooms with Riko. Noa babbles and blows bubbles at you. He seems to be a friendly baby. First, heâs fond of Izuku then Riko.Â
You do the bare minimum with your appearance which bothers the shit out of you, but you are way out of time. âCanât believe it. I canât believe I missed school like this.â
   âThere are plenty more classes to go, miss drama.â She looks confused at the stash of diapers. âWhatâs this?âÂ
âSpecial Hatsume diapers. Heâs allergic to normal ones,â She raises a brow. You nod. âI know, right? So far, itâs been a pain in the ass to afford.â
   She holds up different shirts to him. âWhich one, eh? Blue or black?â She pokes his toes, making him laugh. âBlack? You sure?âÂ
  Putting the finishing touches on yourself, you watch her and Noa. She's a natural and seems to be having fun with him. âYou sure you donât want to do this? I know what that thing did butâŚIâm sure Snipe will understand.â You donât blame her for quitting at all. Whatever the grape bastard did, it was enough to traumatize Riko and deserve his fate with the school. Not to mention his hero career.
  âNo. He completely ruined it for me. Iâll wait for the real thing.â She lifts Noa up and shows you her work. You smile at them. âDazzling, simply dazzling.âÂ
  âI know, I know.â Noa reaches for her turquoise hair. âYou sure? Youâre great at this, Riko. I donât think itâs too late.â
  She shakes her head. âNo. Iâll wait,â Noa finally reaches his goal of pulling her hair. âThe things he was doing were too much. Iâll settle for being an aunt right now.â
   âI understand. And,â You walk up to her. âIâm sorry I didnât see the signs sooner.â At the time, the assignment had just started. In a short span, the grape had hurt her. During class she was quiet when her phone went off. There were times she would suck in her lips and look straight ahead. You thought it was because she was afraid of getting in trouble. Now that this all came out, it was clear that she was trying not to cry. That alone makes you want to beat the shit out of the grape, his friends, and his teacher. He should have been gone a long time ago. Why did they wait until it was at the expense of Riko?
  You pack Noaâs things in the diaper bag and head out the door after Riko. âItâs no problem, peach. Thanks for not asking for details.â You pause and look back at her. Suddenly, a pretty face comes to mind.
  âEma?â
âOf course, the little demon.â You let out a short laugh. âYou love her anyway.â
As the two of you make your way to class, you walk slower and ask, âI donât need to know the details butâŚif you need counseli-â
âCounseling?â
âYes, counseling. Mental health is extremely important. Even if you think itâs nothing or that your pain isnât serious, take the time and care for yourself. If you need a professional, itâs no oneâs business but your own.â
  She sucks in her lips. âIâll think about it.â
Inside the school, you pass students to head to your floor. On the way, Riko is lighthearted, happy and has a pep to her step while holding Noa. Now that he's more developed, he has more expressions. Not a single one has been sad except for the Kaibara incident.
The minute you walk in class with Noa in Rikoâs arms still, Snipe tries to calm your classmates down. You move your hands to get them to settle down. âI know, I know. Leave your offerings on the table.âÂ
  Benio smirks. âI'm liable to kiss you, puppy.â You sigh. âAfter class, Benny. When I can get handsy.âÂ
 Snipe growls for you to be quiet and points to your seat. The air is lighter in the class. The stress and frustration are obviously still here, but the load is lifting now that you spoke up about their partnersâ behavior.
You didnât expect this. You can see some of your classmates without their babies. The heroes must have them to prove something. All except for Kirishima who has been great from the start.
  Benio still has his baby girl. She sits on the side of him, content. She mainly looks like him already, only having Yaoyorzoru's eyes. You smile at how she's looking at him. Starry eyes and all. For a robotic baby, they sure are life-like. If she were real, sheâd definitely be a daddyâs girl.
   Looking around and seeing how much the babies have grown makes you proud. A lot of them are doing it on their own and they've gotten pretty far.Â
  There's a knock on the door. It opens and Kirishima steps in, quietly asking for Ema. He whispers, âWe have training right now and it's not safe. I also have my internship later.â Â
  âIt's okay. Talk to you later?â Kirishima nods and apologizes for the interruption. He kisses the baby goodbye and waves at everyone. Everyone says goodbye in unison.
âWhy couldn't I have that? Instead, I got stuck with Kaminari.â Jule puts his hand on his hips. You can't help but laugh yet at the same time, remember how much it hurts him that he doesn't have that.
________________________
âSo, U.A. stepped up and told the hero students about themselves?â Riko asks then shoves some food in her mouth. You swallow some of your water. âYep. Apparently, there were some that were very involved, so they didnât get docked points. Everyone else got punished.â
âYeah, thankfully theyâre stepping up!â Ema gives a slight bounce. Kirishima has been a great partner and was even commended for such.
  Benio scoffs. âWhatever.â He hasn't touched his food, and that plate is looking real tempting. You stretch out your fork to grab some of the beef from his lunch. He smacks your hand. You grumble. âProbably cold and nasty anywayâŚjust like you.â
And here you were having dirty thoughts about him. You side eye your friend and what could have been. You shake your head. "We could've had it all." Riding into the sunset on a tropical island or something. With pina coladas...getting caught in the rain, we're not much into health food, we are into champagne-
"Will you stop?" They don't appreciate you in any way, shape or hum of a 70s song. One day they'll miss you.
He goes silent and takes a deep breath. âShe only has her for like two seconds to show her off then hands her back to me even if she's not doing anything!â
The table remains silent, intent on listening. âItâs just frustrating. Whenever we have to do that report-â
âReport?â You perk up and a heavy worry starts to settle in. It canât be that report. Thereâs no way that your progress report needs to be turned in. You thought it would be like a journal, something to turn in at the end. âOur progress papers are supposed to be turned in.âÂ
âSon of a bit-â
Ema sighs. âHe was talking! Iâll help you after, (Y/n). Jeez. Continue Benio.âÂ
âWhenever we do the report, she comes up, looks at my notes, corrects my grammar and turns it in. Sheâs literally copying my homework.â
You wince. Hearing his story, it makes you even more nervous. Youâve written some of the progress down but not everything and havenât turned anything in. Not only that, but it is a partnered report.
âHer attitude changed a little but Iâm still mad about it. All this time and it took for her to get points deducted for her to notice how wrong she is? Even now, where is she?â
His frustration isnât unwarranted. Look at how theyâve been acting. And it is irritating that it took this to have them wake up.
  Riko finishes her plate. âI'll help out. Sometimes, though.â
  Benio looks up at her with a smile on his face. He nods and mutters a thanks. Noa starts to get fussy again. âBaby boy, speak in a language I can understand, please.â
You fed him with what formula you had left, changed him, all of it. Speaking of formulaâŚ
âI'm out of milk and I need more. I'll talk to you guys later! And Benny,â You kiss his cheek, much to his shock. âIf you want, Iâll beat her ass.â
âHa, yeah. While youâre at it, get a gummy from Recovery Girl after she floors you.â
  Up the stairs you feel a familiar presence. Izuku walks behind you with his books in his hand. He's looking down at the steps, not realizing you're there until he is two steps behind you.
  He calls your name surprised. âIs that Noa? He's gotten so big!â He strolls up to you and coos at Noa. âMay I?âÂ
  You hand Noa over to him and trade for his books. âYou don't have to. I can do it.â
âYou're carrying my grade. I'm not risking it.â The two of you walk to the support course. You suck on your teeth and head inside, hoping Mei Hatsume doesn't get on your fucking nerves. She's not a bad person, she's just a little much.
  âMei? Mei!â You call out. She rounds the corner with a big grin. âMidoriya!â
âOh hell no, Mei. Me first. Don't touch him.â She whines and groans. âWhy not! I haven't seen him in forever!â
âNo. You haven't tested on him in forever. I need help first. Touch him later.â
âDo I get a say?â Izukuâs voice is quiet. âNo.â You and Mei say in unison. She asks what you need, already working on another one of her âbabiesâ.Â
âFormula, please.â
âOh, that reminds me!â She goes to a small desk with a desktop computer. There are only papers next to it, no doohickeys or thingamabobs. It's unusual for her and her chaotic nature.
  âI need to speed you up.â
âFor what?â Mei continues to click the mouse then types on the keyboard. She answers, âYeah, the care levels are looking good so we're moving it along.â
  He's at four months already. Suddenly, in Izukuâs arms, Noa grows again. Izukuâs face is bright. âThis is-!â
âMy beautifully amazing baby!â Mei practically jumps. You stare in shock at how he's grown. âDid he grow in age, yet?â
  âHow do I check?â Izuku looks all around Noa. His large hand cradles his head gently as he searches.Â
âIzuku, I don't think you have to support his head anymore.â Izuku slightly lifts Noa up as if he wanted you to give him another look. âYou sure? I mean, heâs so small.â Izuku tilts his head and his eyebrows drawn.Â
 âCheck his tummy!â Mei calls out as she starts to speed walk away. You turn to her and yell, âWait! I still need some!â
She tosses the items to you. Izuku catches it right before it hits your face. Hatsume hasnât charged you yet.Â
âUm, Mei? The total?â You dig in your bag and stop when Mei says, "On me this time.â
âW-why?â
Sheâs quiet this time. Not whispering or anything, but calmer.Â
âIt was brave to stand up to Kaibara and the staff. So, Iâll take this one.â She turns to leave. Noa babbles and claws Izukuâs face. His delicate fingers pull on his freckled cheek. Izuku doesnât seem to mind at all. You give a breathy laugh and scratch your head.Â
âUm, check his belly. Itâll say how old he is.â
  He looks to you. âCan you hold him for a second while I take my jacket off?â You raise a brow but do it nonetheless. Izuku folds his jacket and places it on the desk. âAlright, Iâm ready.â
  You suck in your lips and try not to smile. Heâs so gentle with Noa. Izuku finally sees his belly. âFour months.â
Disappointment and confusion settle in. What did she mean by speeding it up if the screen still says four months?Â
âBut heâs grownâŚâ Izuku shrugs and buttons him up. âThatâs no worry! The fact heâs gotten a little bigger shows that itâll happen soon.â
------
âAre you sure you don't want me to walk you?â His voice is shy. Borderline nervous. âYeah, Izuku. It's alright. Thank you for holding him.âÂ
He stares at you with a shine in his eyes. A smile is on his lips then he shakes his head and says, âIt's no problem! I can help anytime!â There is a flush to his freckle cheek. Is this a medical condition? âThanks,â You stare into his emerald eyes. âSad that you're here more than Kaibara.âÂ
His name is bitter on your tongue. Izuku raises a brow. âIs he still mad?â
You haven't talked to him since this started. Him and the rest of the course are bitter beyond belief. What did you expect? Of course he'd be mad. You were (are) mad but it's all real. You're scared, tired, and frustrated. Everything you said needed to be told. It isnât your fault that the rest of the hero partners got in trouble for their own failures. Now, Kaibara is ignoring you all together.Â
  âDo you have his number by chance?â You hold onto Izukuâs jacket and hold the door open for him as the two of you leave the support courseâs lab.
âNo, sorry. I only have a few from class B.â
Shit. You lick your lips slowly. You want to talk to him, to let him know about the report and for him to see Noa, to at least hold him. âI need to go to class.âÂ
  You set his books and jacket down on the floor to adjust your wrap that's been hanging loosely behind you. âDo you think he's old enough to be carried on my back?â
Izuku freezes. âI-is that safe?â He hangs onto Noa, rubbing his back. You chuckle at how he seems like a nervous new mother.
âOkay, I'll just do the front then.â
âOh, thank God.â Noa babbles some more. Noa is more vocal and that'll increase as time goes on. You have to remember to practice with him.
Noa messes with Izukuâs hair again. You study him as he moves his focus from Izuku's hair to his face. Noa tugs on the hero's cheek. Izuku is close to you, and you donât know what to do. You can feel his body heat and one step closer his heartbeat. He doesn't notice in the slightest or just doesn't care.
âYou know, even if he is one of Meiâs babies, heâs adorable.â Izuku pokes Noaâs chubby cheek.
--------------
The day went by fast and the next is no better. By now, youâre walking into the cafeteria after catching Snipe after class.
You walk into the cafeteria after your short talk with Snipe. You didn't know to turn in your progress report, so you said that youâd give it to him at the end of the day. Unfortunately, itâs a partnered thing. So, given what happened with Kaibara, you thought heâd give you some leniency. Nope. Mr. Snipe is clearly pissed at how you talked to him when this whole thing came out. Finally, after a few seconds of scolding, you ducked out the door and rolled your eyes. You have had enough of heroes. And to be honest, you're mad at Snipe. When this assignment is done, you won't look at him or any of the other teachers the same.
  You spot your friends at their usual table and notice that Yaomomo is heading over there, and she is actually holding Kobeni. Your jaw drops. Right when you walk over, Ema calls your name.Â
âSit with us!â You find her with Kirishima and his crew, including Izuku who is animatedly talking to Kirishima. âI'm good.âÂ
âPlease!â You roll your eyes and say, âFine. But I got to talk to you know who.â
âOhâŚâÂ
 You search around and finally find him talking with Kendo who waved him goodbye. You head over to Kaibara and bite your lips nervously. This is the first time youâve talked to him since you snitched. His eyes flicker to you and his face settles into a quick frown then changes his expression. It's amazing how fast he can do that.Â
âKaibara, can we talk?â You want your voice to sound a lot stronger than what came out.
âSure.â He guides you out of the large, student filled room. You notice the glances and maybe even venomous looks given. Whether itâs to you or Kaibara, theyâre there. You wouldnât be surprised if it is you that they hate. However, a lot of them arenât hero students. So, why would anyone from the other courses have a grudge against you?
   The two of you go out of the door and turn down the short hallway. At the end is another glass door that leads to the courtyard of the school, with luscious green grass and not a speck of litter in sight. He doesnât hold the door open for you and Noa and you donât expect him to. Itâs quiet for a moment until he opens his mouth. âAre you having fun?â
âWhat?â Thereâs a heavy ball in your gut. He cocks his head to the right. âYou must be. Everyoneâs patting your back while my reputation gets shit on. I mean, you have to be pretty proud of yourself.â
   You shake your head. âNo, Iâm not proud-â
âYet you did it anyway? Did you forget that actions have consequences?â
 Youâre trying to hold your anger in since Noa is present. âGetting scolded was yours. What you did was deplorable, and you know it.â
He starts to laugh. You look around for a mirror to see if he's watching how much of a clown he is because this isn't funny.
âWhatâs so funny?â
âHa, ha! Nothing, I just didn't expect a waitress to know that word." Your mouth drops. âFirst of all, customer service workers deserve respect, including me. So, letâs put that down. Second, now I know why you are so triflingly ugly. This fucking attitude. Third, the reason your reputation is getting shit on is because you deserve it.â
  He rubs his face. âThis is based on real life, right? Our future? My future?â
âDuh.â
  âThen, you would ruin a future because of a disagreement?â
âFutu- disagreement? What the hell are you talking about? Explain.â God, if Noa was not in your arms...
  âEveryoneâs been giving me shit because of you. Including my mentor. By the way, heâs reconsidering my internship, so thanks for that. Because of your dramatics-â
âUn-explain.â He stops his rant to look at you. âYou jeopardized our grade and are still doing it with you not participating! This is on you, not me.â
  âYou act like heâs real. Like heâs an actual human being who has to be watched all of the time. I left him alone and he was fine.â
  Your nose flares as your anger begins to boil over. Suddenly, you stop when his words set in. âWhen you took care of him? He was alone?â
He claps his hands slowly. âAmazing how you remember that now but not when you were ruining m-â
âYou left him alone?â You yell. Noa hasn't made a sound.
Kaibara steps closer. âHe isnât real. This is just a grade, and you decided it was best to ruin my future for a grade. And it isnât even a major one.â
He left him alone. Is that why heâs stuck at four months old? Did Kaibara do something? He stops and gives a fake sympathetic smile. âIâm sorry I hurt you and scared Noa, truly. But what you did was worse. How is that fair?â
And he's calling you dramatic?
 You take a deep breath and try to get your mind back to the original topic, so you donât really go off. âNow whoâs being dramatic? You got in trouble. Your license hasnât been taken away, dumbass.â
You stop tapping your foot when Noa caresses your face. âWe have those reports due at the end of every month. I have the majority of mine written down, so Iâd like for us to get together and do them but in order for that to happen, we need to work together.â
He doesnât say anything for a second. Finally, he gives you that smile again. âI want whatâs best for Noa.â
âMe too. So, you with me?â Youâre stiff when your gut instinct senses something's wrong. Heâs hiding something. Even though you are dealing with him, you think of the original cause. All this is because of Endeavor and his family. Now here you are dealing with this jackass and his fake smile. Because of the Todoroki's you now have to look at this illegal circus in front of you.Â
You want to finish this project and get a good grade, not have to deal with this delinquent.Â
âIf itâs going to clean my reputation, thatâs just a bonus. My kid matters, you know? How about this weekend?â
âI canât this weekend. How about Monday after school? We can hang out and work on this.â Youâre biting the inside of your cheek, hoping he wonât realize that you work this weekend. Yeah, you can move stuff around for him. But you donât want to deal with him right now.
âSure. Monday.â
You promised Snipe you'd hand it in today, but he'll just have to settle for it to be on Monday. That's bothersome but right now, you want to take fifty showers.
Looking at Sen's passive face, you notice that there is a small hopeful wish inside you. A little flame that goes way back. Now, you think you might be giving it to your son with this one question that was asked once years ago.
âDo you want to hold him?â
Kaibara rolls his eyes. âIâll see him Monday, wonât I?â
 You leave and head back into the cafeteria without an appetite.
-----
Inside, you sit quietly while the others talk. Ema was curious about your behavior but didn't question it. She will most likely bombard you with questions later. Right now, you sit in silence as the friends talk over each other about God knows what. The noise is almost enough to snap you out of your daze.Â
That encounter with Kaibara just doesnât sit right with you. Thereâs something lurking underneath that you canât put your finger on exactly. Itâs definitely shady, though. Suddenly, a shrill cry snaps you out of your daze.
âWhy are you crying, cherub?â You prop him up. âSupport his head!â Izuku brings his hand to the back of Noaâs head. You almost forgot that Izuku was sitting next to you. âHeâs fine. Iâm telling you, Mei just messed up. He has to be more than four months old, he doesnât need his head propped up. Besides, heâs done it before.â
âStill, you need to-wait, you let him do that? â
âHeâs fine-â His eye twitches before you can get your full answer out.
âNo, give âim. Youâre making me worry!â Izuku literally grabs Noa and before he can support your babyâs head, you tease, âSee, you arenât even holding it.â
âAh!âÂ
Izuku scrambles to hold him. Noa laughs and kicks his feet. Kirishima and the rest of the table follow. Itâs a blessing that heâs a happy baby. There are dolls that have colic or are just plain onery. Also known as, Mira, Sakura and Bakugou's baby girl.Â
 âMidoriya, please. Heâs fine. A lot of babies around that age can hold them up.â
âYou sure? Heâs so smallâŚâ Izuku makes faces at the baby who sticks his tongue out, mimicking Izuku. Ema looks at you with a grin you canât place. âYou look good with Noa, doesnât he?â
  Kirishima looks at her for a second. âYeah! Midoriya, arenât you having fun with (Y/n), sorry, I meant Noa.â
  âI am!â Izuku focuses back on Noa. Then, Noa begins to cry in Izukuâs hold. You pick up Izukuâs chopsticks and gather some rice from his katsudon. âHeâs too young!â
âLetâs just try it.â You place a little rice in Noaâs mouth. Since he is getting bigger, it doesn't hurt to try solids, right?
Izukuâs about to scold you again until Noa chirps happily. He kicks his little legs and giggles. Izukuâs thick finger presses against Noaâs chin to encourage Noa to open his mouth. "Chew, Noa!"
"Izuku, I swear he's fine." You give Noa a little bit of the egg in the katsudon. Flavorful dishes like this aren't generally recommended at his age, but a little won't hurt a robot baby, right? Noa opens his mouth wide for more food much to your amazement. Izuku decides to join in on the fun and hand feed him some more white rice. "I guess I should be feeding you both now, huh?"
  "Slowly, and not all the time-"
"Izuku, I know!" You groan. He chuckles nervously, slightly embarrassed. You quickly take out a notepad and write this down. "For the report." You say when you notice Izuku's eyes on you. "Do you want help?"
"You're doing enough, that's fine." Izuku cautiously lifts his hand away from Noa's neck. You roll your eyes and huff. He's acting more like a first time mom than you are! Izuku then grabs his phone and keeps it on Noa. "Maybe a recording will help? This is a milestone, right?"
  You stop writing and laugh. Going along with Izuku's weird and probably useless plan, you feed Noa and abandon your note taking. Ema's chin is on her hands. "Aw..."
Noa sees the plate of rice next to him and grabs a handful. It's cute how his chubby hands grab the rice, turning it into mush. He squeals in delight at the flavor. Izuku captures every second of Noa's newest milestone. Suddenly, ruining the adorable scene, a horrendous smell interrupts it. "Oh my God!"Â
You and Kirishima start to gag. Izuku curses and lifts Noa away from him. Ema coughs. "(Y/n), do something!"Â
âHeâs full. Iâll be right back.â You grab him from Izuku. Ema rolls her watery eyes. "What tipped you off?"
"(Y/n), what the hell is wrong with Noa's ass?!" Kirishima fans in front of his nose. You huff and back away from the table, slightly offended despite the stench. Izuku shyly follows you.
âYou sure you donât need me?âÂ
âI can change his diaper, hon.â You're not sure about this one, though.
âOoh!â Ema starts clapping her hands with glee. You point to her and have pleading eyes for her to shut up. âShut it, Ema. Donât start.âÂ
Ema remained unfazed. She waved at the two of you. âWeâll see you guys later! And Midoriya,â Izuku turns around. âUh, EijirĹ and I have to cancel the weekend.â
âWe do?â Kirishima stops kissing Hanaâs cheek. She has his eyes. Nose and up are him and below is definitely Ema. Itâs amazing how these babies' faces are changing.Â
Ema elbows him. âI-I mean, yeah! We do! Ema and I have to work on our report and then we have Hana-you know, weâre absolutely swamped, ha, ha.â Kirishima's smile is as fake as Kaibara's heroics.
  Izuku pauses then sucks on his lips. His round eyes get bigger. âR-right! Right! Iâll see you later.â
  You bid them goodbye. To your side is Izuku who keeps up with your speed. âYou know you donât need to do this, right? Iâm capable.â
âI know you are! You-you're amazing with Noa.â You bite your lips and look towards the ground. That has been something heavy on your heart from the start. Being a parent is one thing but being a good one is another. You struggle with this and see how everyone is better than you are. It's like all of them have more and do more. To have someone you just met say that youâre doing amazing despite your inadequacy has you feeling warm in a good way.
âThank you, Izuku.â
In the general studies commons, you lay Noa down on the coffee table, not thinking to put a blanket or something underneath him. You had placed his diaper bag at the side of the couch where Izuku sits.Â
âHand me-no, that one-the one right there!â Izuku searches the bag. He pulls out the diaper. âThis?â
âYes, thank you.â You roll your eyes and take the diaper. When you take his bottoms off, Noa gains this strange look on his face. Brushing it off, you ask Izuku, âWanna learn?â
âUh, sure. What side does it-â Izuku gestures to the diaper. Smiling, you begin, âLike this-âÂ
Suddenly, right as you open Noaâs used diaper, the unthinkable happens. You scream bloody murder, as warmth hits your chest and shoulders. Izuku gasps then scrambles away. You jerk back away from the baby.Â
Noa, your own doll son, is peeing on you. You, his mother.Â
  âOh my God!â Izuku laughs and holds his phone out, recording your horror as you distance yourself from the stream by pressing yourself impossibly close to the couch. âAre-are you recording me?âÂ
Seeing this, you grab Noa and hold him up to Izuku. The little bastard stops peeing. Izuku has tears in his eyes. You glare at Noa. âAre you kidding me?!â
Noa laughs, matching Izukuâs. âI canât believe this disrespect!â You stomp your foot then make a disgusted noise when it begins to cool. âItâs cold!â
Izuku reaches for Noa, who stops laughing. âYou go get cleaned up-â
âNoa, no!â Izuku shouts as Noa gives him the equal treatment. Noa stops and looks triumphant. âHa!â You point.
Noaâs shirt is raised a little and on his tummy is eight months. Who knew that all he needed to do to grow up was pee on you?
_____________________________
Izukuâs a little wet from the shower. He rubs the top of his curls, causing them to shake and small droplets to fall. After Noa's pee parade, both of you decided to take showers. Thankfully, the baby was very calm when you decided to bathe with him, not once screaming when the water touched him. Maybe Noa's growth will stop the tears a little.
âI have to get him bigger sizes. Look at him!â Your poor chunky baby is busting out of his clothes. His diaper barely fits, and you just got this size. Shit, shit, shit. "I have to go to Hatsume first then-"
âIâll go to Hatsume, you go find something to put Noa in for the time being. Afterwards, we'll go to that little store around the corner." You bite your cheek for a second. "If you want to come with me then know that you'll be doing some heavy lifting."
He perks up. âItâd be great for training.â Before he goes you reach for your bag. "Here, if I remember right the diapers should cost the same no matter the size-" You turn to find him gone. You should be happy, grateful, maybe even flattered. Yet here you sit with this terrible feeling of embarrassment.Â
You put Noa on your hip and smack your cheek. Now is not the time for self-pity or whatever. Now is the time to get the little man into something presentable. In your room, you search around. His stash of clothing is so small compared to him now. You sigh and go through your own clothes. He'll just have to settle for one of your tops. He squeals and reaches for you after you put it on him.
"You excited, mini man?" You ask as you are in the elevator. Noa claps and tries to talk the entire time, having a full-blown conversation. The door opens and you see Izuku waiting for you in your dorm's commons. In his hands are several packs of Hatsume's diapers. The doors threaten to close on you since you haven't moved.Â
  Izuku comes up to you and stops the elevator doors from closing. "Are you okay?" He puts his hand against your forehead. "Your temperature's fine-"
"I-I'm fine," You blink several times. "Positive. Let's roll." He looks at you skeptically. You grab a diaper from him and walk past, not wanting him to question it further.Â
Izuku has a bit more pep in his step as the two of you walk through the campus side by side. You pass people who are heading towards the main building. Every person around stares at him in awe. The many eyes are nerve wracking and overall annoying. Rather than bringing it to his attention, you let it slide and walk faster.
The two of you walk into the same shop you went to with Kaibara. The employee immediately recognizes you. Apparently, she recognizes Izuku just as well. In an instant, she trips over to introduce herself. âThank you for everyth-â
  When she grabs his arm, you feel something tingly, something that would be bitter if you could taste it. âThatâs enough. Izuku, come with me.â You grab his hand and lead him away. Itâs, um, not subtle. Worst of all, you donât know why this is. Why did you become jealous? Youâre not so naive to be ignorant to what jealousy is. Not when youâre so familiar with it.
  You pull out a list of things the little turd needs. âShirts, pants, shoes, literally everything.â Izuku takes him out of your wrap. Smiling, he says, âAnd a carrier. This canât be good for you to wear all the time.â
Before you can defend it, he adds, âWe'll get bigger sizes so he can grow into them.â He bounces the baby. You are about to tell him he doesnât like to be bounced when you realize that Noa isnât crying. That he has only cried with Izuku once.
  Your eyes twitch and nostrils flare. âYouâre right.â
Youâll handle that later. Then, you see it. He isnât a full-fledged hero yet. Heâs still interning and is just now getting back on his feet. Yet this is an opportunity that you can't pass up. âHow about this?â
 You hold up a green jacket with long stems at the hood, resembling bunny ears. Itâs Deku merchandise. Along with it are other ones, too. A Uravity helmet, gloves that look like Dynamightâs with grenade print at the wrists, there are Ingeniumâs shoes. All over are merchandise for kids in honor of heroes that fought in the wars. There are scarves that resemble Aizawa and that one tired kid's ropes and a Lemillion blanket that matches his red cape with his symbol in the corner.
  His breath hitches. You place the jacket in the cart. âItâd be cute-are you okay?â
His eyes are watery as he looks at the cloth. He leans in and excitedly declares, âWeâll get everyoneâs! Iâll pay for it myself!â Your eyes are wide at how passionate he is about this. âUmâŚokay?â
Now, Noa is in his Deku jacket and Ingenium shoes that are a little bigger than what he can actually wear right now. Izukuâs eyes are down to the sidewalk. Noa rests in his arms, not yet in the carrier, and points to everything that catches his attention. Izukuâs behavior changed once he saw the merchandise. He paid for them like he said he would. Is that the reason for the difference? After dealing with Kaibara, the correct thing to do is ask.
   âAre you bothered about paying?â Blunt and to the point. Izuku blinks then asks, âNo, why?â
  âYouâre acting weird so I just thoughtâŚâ You shrug and let the sentence trail off. âIâm happy to do it. Iâm happy for everyone and canât wait to show them. Itâs more of my things that I feel off about.â
  Before you can ask why, he changes the topic. âHe does look cute, right?â Noa smiles and pulls on Izukuâs hair. âYeah, yeah, cute as can be.â
  You adjust the bags and continue to walk. âLet me.â He takes the bags from you. âW-hold on you got Noa.âÂ
  Somehow, he takes the numerous bags from you and hands you Noa with ease. Itâs probably the training he does or something because you are clumsy compared to him.
 You sigh and shake your head. âYou know you donât have to do this, right?â
âI want to! I really like y-uh, Noa! Heâs adorable. Heâs the cutest baby Iâve ever seen.â Your face begins to warm not only because he thinks Noa is cute, but that Noa looks like you. A fact pops in your head cooling you down. âHeâs not really a baby, though.â
âStill a cutie.â He takes a better look at Noa. âLooks just like you. I donât see Kaibara at all.â
âReally? I see it in the nose a little bit.â
âMm, nah. See,â He delicately traces his finger along the little mound. Noa sneezes anyway and smiles. âThat right there is you. You both have a cute nose.â
Your nose is something you never thought was cute. But the weird unintentional comment makes you feelâŚflattered? Amazing? Pretty? Itâs such a weird feeling that you've never felt before or at least haven't in a while. You feel like shrieking for some reason. Why? You've just met this guy and only know him through a friend of a friend. Nevertheless, his adoration of Noa and your nose makes you feel good.
You hold the door open for him to enter inside your dorms. You can't help but feel that you forgot something now that you're inside the campus.
âAh, do you have anything to do this weekend?â You turn to Izuku who looks absolutely in pain. âUm, yeah? But only for a bit.â
âO-oh. Never-never mind then!â He retreats and puts the bags gently on the floor. Even from his side profile you can see the disappointment hidden behind those bright eyes of his. âI can make room, of course. Whyâd you ask?â
âWell, um, I would like to spend some time with you, if thatâs alright. But if youâre with Kaibara , then I donât want to intrude.â He rubs the back of his neck and doesnât make eye contact with you. You hear him mutter something about plans and how you donât have to feel obligated. Thatâs all you catch with his muttering.Â
âS-sorry! I know that freaks-â
âI donât mind, I like it. I think itâs endearing.â He gives a little gasp with a widening smile. âI-In that case, um, thanks. Youâre the first one.â
  You canât help but smile. âWhat do you have in mind, anyway?âÂ
âHa, well, there's this restaurant Iâve been wanting to try-you don't have to by the way! I just know they also have some food that I think Noaâll like!â
âSure.â
âYou probably have so much going on, this was dumb Iâm-wait, what?â Izuku sputters, shocked that you agreed.
âIâll go. But itâll have to be before ten.â
âOf course, the curfew is at nine!â
âI mean, I have to be asleep by then.â He plays with Noaâs peach fuzz for hair. âIs it Noaâs schedule?â
âNo, my own. I trained myself that way because of my quirk."
 He perks up and gets close, sitting on the couch next to you. You move the many bags out of his way. âWhatâs your quirk? How does it wor-â Ah, you heard from Ema a while back that he was not only a hero fanatic, but a quirk nerd. He has notebooks dedicated to them.Â
âUh, it has to do with dreams. It isn't the best.â
  His real quirk has to be something with conjuring because this notepad came out of nowhere. Where the hell did he keep it? How deep are his pockets? He opens it and finds a page deep in the middle. âTell me more, please? Iâd love-â
Noa is on the floor next to you, bringing out his favorite toys from his diaper bag on his own. Izuku continues his rapid fire of questions. You decide to go with the first one. âI don't remember the name because I never cared to do anything with it. It has to do with dreams."
He writes fast. âHow?â This is like an interview. You pray you're not sweating too bad. âI don't know if I could actually bring, like, a dream of Bikini Bottom-"
âWhat?â
âI couldn't think of anything!â You're failing this interview. You could have said anything else. Maybe if you weren't such a dumbass and actually paid attention to it, you could explain it better.
âSorry, sorry. Continue, please. Itâs been so long since someone's let me do this.â
 You nod and say, "I never tested it to see how far it can go. What I do know is that I can't change one."
Noa hits your foot with his block. You put it on top of his head. "I know for a fact that I won't be able to save you from a nightmare, but I can hold your hand, type of thing." You wave your hand dismissively, not really caring about quirks in the first place. Since no one is allowed to use them, then why are they important?
âI think it'd be harder for me to do anything to another person than for me to use my own, though. So, if I dreamed of Bikini Bottom," You scratch your cheek. "Then I can show you? Maybe I could bring you there or something."
âSo, controlling dreams?â
âNo. I can't control dreams; I don't know if I can even create them. I honestly never looked into it. Quirks have never been a big part of my life." Izuku stops and stares at you. âDonât worry, though! I never let my quirk get out of control. I take medicine at night to stop it.â
He looks at you with a curious and what you could swear is cautious, face. Thereâs a clawing feeling that reaches from your stomach to your throat. You shake your head, not wanting him to feel that you would violate him by entering his dreams or something. âItâs not the best-â
âI think itâs wonderful. I bet itâs beautiful," No one has ever said that. Then again, you've never really talked about it either. âHave you tried training it?â
You give a small 'no'. Izuku smiles a little and plays with one of his curls. âSince the Sports Festival is coming up and Iâll be busy with it, would you like to trai-â
The bell rings cutting him off. That's what you forgot. You've been here so long with him, you totally forgot about school. In fact, school is over. The two of you missed half of the school day. You jump up and go to grab Noa who has decided that he must defeat another milestone.Â
âGo baby, go!â You cheer Noa on as he crawls towards your sneakers. âOh, oh, oh, hold on! Hold-â Izuku fumbles with his phone to record it.Â
______________________________________
Early Saturday, you called your boss for a change of schedule so you could be with Izuku. You even promised to work all day and night on Sunday. She said no. And when you told her the reason, she looked like the Grinch.
  âUm, I know you wanted to go to that restaurant but how about another? I know a place with somewhat good food and good prices.â
âYeah?â He puts Noa in the carrier and picks it up along with the diaper bag with All Might on it. When the first one you bought broke, Izuku insisted on getting one for you. Of course, it had to be one with All Might's face on it.
  âI gotta warn you, the food is subpar at best, and the floors are sticky, and the service is horrendous.â He tries not to laugh. âIf you like it, then it must be something.â Despite him having his hands full, he opens the door for you.
The devil stands at the register. âOh hello, there! Such a beautiful couple. And who is this cutie?â You are literally shaking. Izuku messes with his curls and doesnât correct her. âThis is Noa. Say hi, bud.â Noa looks up at her and reaches for the devil who just happens to be your boss.
âSorry, weâre still working on him talking.âÂ
She looks at him and gives a kind smile. One that isnât devious or fake. Itâs just kind. You still donât trust it though. âI bet youâre doing great,â Like you predicted, it turns into a smirk.
âHey, what word are you trying to get him to say?â Before Izuku can answer, you say, âRetirement home.â
She freezes. Her kids and you have an ongoing joke about admitting her when she gets old and even more senile. Ken has even joined in on the fun.Â
Izuku raises a brow. âI was thinking mamaâŚâÂ
Yona recovers. âOh, come on, with a man like you by her side? I bet he says dada first!âÂ
âIâm still voting for retirement home. It has such a nice ring to it. When I hear it, I think of that little government funded one. It doesnât have a shuffleboard or filet mignon, but at least there are beds. I bet he could also say funeral home.â
  She stops then and gives a glare. âLetâs find you a table.âÂ
Izuku leans into your ear. âDo you know each other?âÂ
Shit. âAh, yeah. I come here quite a bit.â He nods at your explanation. The two of you are seated right in the middle, no doubt a deliberate seating since it is in perfect line with her and Kenâs nosy asses.
âIâll leave these to you.â She sets menus down. Noa is sitting in his highchair, wiping it with his hand. This is not the first time heâs been here, clearly. Yona cocks her head as she studies Noa. âHeâs got a good shaped head.â
 âWhat?â Izuku takes a drink of the water Yona poured in his green class. You don't blame him for being confused. It's a random ass thing to bring up. âIâm just saying. You two did good at shaping his head.âÂ
  You rub your face. âThank you, maâam. I already know wha-â
âI bet he gets it from you hon. Whatâs your name, again?â She places her hand on the back of Izukuâs chair. âIzuku Midoriya.â
âThat name sounds familiar. Anyway, he mustâve got your head because hers is annoying looking.â
Bitch. Your head is perfect. It is the best shaped head in the universe and how dare she question that. Besides, shaping Noa's was a chore since he felt the need to lay on one side. Thankfully, it isnât misshapen like Hanaâs.Â
  âYou know what? He actually looks like-â
âI know what I want, maâam!â You will haunt her dreams. Yona huffs and asks the bewildered Izuku what heâd like. He watches the two of you. âIâll have the same as her.â
âAh, and the cook would-â
âTell him, block 5 for me please.â Ken will get the hint of his prison stunt. Yona purses her lips and walks away. Izuku leans in. âAre you sure you donât know them?â
âPositive. I just come here a lot.â Izuku takes in his surroundings. âIt is quite homey. Like a mom and popâs shop.â
âHopefully the awful food doesnât chase you away.â Noa cries and tugs his ear. You hope heâs just sleepy and itâs not an ear infection thatâs been going around. If so, youâre in trouble. For some reason, Hatsume decided that viruses and crap should be added to the project. Well, it was either her or the heroes.  âHere, let me.â
Izuku cradles him and gives him kisses. Noa wails and messes with his ears. â(Y/n), he isnât sleepy, what-â
âEar infection is my guess. Mei should have something for it,â You call out, âYona, we need it to go! Iâm gonna take Noa back.â
  âShouldnât we pay?â Izuku gets up, bouncing Noa in an attempt to calm him. âNah, itâs fine.â You donât notice the suspicious look on his face.Â
__________________________
Itâs June now, and Noa is still eight months old. Compared to his newborn phase, this is a little easier. Not by much since he is a curious little beastie who likes crawling and getting into things. And of course, you forgot that babies teethe. The dreaded shrill screams that he has every once in a while, makes you want to reach for the bottle of alcohol for yourself rather than put it on his gums. To stop that, fucking Deku made sure to get Noa Mei's cream for it.
âYouâve grown so much, little one.â Noa babbles in response. Lately, he has been vocal and clearly trying to speak. âYeah?â
He responds in his usual way. âWhatâs your first word gonna be? Mama? Eh? Ma-ma.âÂ
He âblahsâ in response. âClose, I guess.â You pop a boh-boh back in his mouth and set him down on the floor. He immediately crawls around and gets into your bag. âHey, hey!â
You take a pencil away from him, causing him to huff in protest. His disappointment doesnât last long as he speedily crawls away towards your shoes. Lately, Noa is deciding that your shoes are priceless entertainment.Â
 The Sports Festival is coming up and the hero course is busier than ever and bursting with excitement. This is the first one since the wars. They canceled last year for obvious reasons and there was a debate if they should continue them at all. The majority vote went to the tradition continuing.
Izuku has been tough to get a hold of which sucks because Noa does not like that. He needs his buddy, apparently. You decide to text him.Â
âDoes this seem okay? âHi, Izuku. I would like to hang out with you again sometime soon. Itâs okay if you donât want to.ââ
Noa just looks up at you. âYeah, sounds very,â You struggle to come up with a word. Noa seems to get it quicker than you do with his, âBa.â
âStiff. Yep, thatâs the word.â You type some more with Noa crawling onto your lap looking down at the screen. âHow about this? âDo you want to hang out sometime?â â
 Noa hums then blows a bubble. âYouâre right, thatâs fine.â You hit send with your face warm. You whisper, âI just asked out a boy. Oh my God.âÂ
Izuku has been around you a lot but youâve never asked him out. No, you still didnât! This isnât a romantic thing. Itâs about Noa and his attachment to him! Itâs not like itâs a date. When he took you out to eat at the restaurant it wasnât a date either since Noa got an ear infection, so it was cut short.
  You smack your forehead repeatedly. âStupid teenage hormones!â That has to be it.
Your phone vibrates in your hand. Noa touches the phone, his drool getting on the screen. You wipe it off and read what Izuku sent you.
Iâd love to! How about Friday?
Stupid teenage hormones. The phone vibrates again.Â
Will you cheer me on during the festival?
You answer, Noa and I both will.
You didnât originally want to go but now youâre a little excited to watch. Stupid teenage hormones.
_______
Izuku invites you to watch him train instead of going out to what was not a romantic outing. You go, not really knowing what to expect. Him doing pushups or something? Thatâs wiped out when you open the heavy metal door and enter the large room.Â
You didn't realize when he said train, he meant train. The students of Class A soar through the air. Flames and rocks fly around as debris crushes buildings. Suddenly, you spot familiar green hair in the air with his leg ready. He isn't wearing his suit yet still displays great power. You don't know the name of who is coming at him but one kick from Izuku sends the guy down after hearing a crunch from his body.Â
Of course, your doll son is entertained and kicks his own legs. He reaches his hands out and squeals when Izuku comes down to land on the cliff, making it crack underneath him. You don't know how he's able to do it, thick thighs or not. He turns his head when he hears a babyâs laugh. â(Y/n)-ah, Noa!â He jumps down and runs to you.
Noaâs back is against your chest and your arm underneath his legs. Izuku sees this. âUh, here, like this.â
He readjusts to set him on your hip. You glare at him. âHe was fine.â
After sighing at his picking, you say, âYou were pretty amazing.â From what you saw, at least. âItâs unfortunate you hang out with trash, though.â
â(Y/n).â He says with a pointed stare. Noa reaches for him with a big smile on his face. Izuku grabs and holds him. Izuku gives Noa a big kiss. âI missed you! Didnât think youâd remember me, honestly.â
âYou talked to him all the time.â
âNot as much as I should, though. Sorry about that, Noa.â Noa presses his face against Izukuâs chest. Itâs a sweet scene. Thereâs no way Kaibara would do this. He barely participated with the report, and he didnât even look at Noa.
Izuku gasps, knocking you out of your thoughts. He cheers and even congratulates your doll son for growing in length. And if you were crazy, youâd swear his eyes got a little rounder and his face shape, although still adorned with chubby cheeks, doesnât match you or Kaibaraâs. Theyâre Izukuâs. Noa has your eye color and nose, what may be your lips and Izukuâs chin. Does he see it or are you crazy?Â
Before he can say anything, the electric guy comes up. âI didn't know you were doing it! Heâs so cute!â The blond pokes Noaâs cheek. Looking at him you are reminded of Jule. Heâs doing alright now but he still struggles. When this first started, you remember he had thrown up because of the stress. His partner, the electric guy, wasn't and isn't helping. Your tongue is loose on its own accord. âYou know who else is cute?â
He raises a brow and tries, keyword tries, to act suave. âCertainly you. My name is Denki Kaminari-â
âYour child. Youâd know that if any of you actually did something. Do you even know the name? How about your partnerâs?âÂ
The class became quiet. Kaminariâs eyes waver a bit. A person stops their quirk in the middle of using it. You can't stand them. Them breathing the same air as you makes you sick. âWanting to be a hero yet canât take responsibility after pushing your grade us-no, hey!â Izuku tries to usher you out. You continue your rant about Kaminari's lack of effort in the project.
"Your partner's name is-stop it! Hey!"
Izuku carries Noa in one hand and you in the other. He doesn't say anything. Aizawa follows and calls Snipe who is groaning. Izuku manages to take you out of the training room and into a hall around the corner. His silence and tension bother you.
Are you going to apologize? Hell no.
Snipe comes at you at a fast pace. Izuku has yet to let you go. â(Y/n) (L/n), in here. Now.â
You snatch Noa and go inside the empty room right behind you. Snipe points his finger at you. âThis is it. I have had it with your disrespectful, insubordinate, attitude. Look, I understand youâre angry. Everyone has been there. (Y/n), you canât take your wrath out on everyone else.â
âThen who? Who can I take it out on? This is all unfair. So tell me, when and how can I be angry while they can sleep at night with no remorse? With no burden?â
âThey have them. Theyâre just more mature than you.â
âTheyâre old. You have put this on young people. They, you, have been disrespectful. Everyone kisses your ass while the people whose hearts you swore to protect get crushed constantly. Tell me,â Your voice shakes. âHow does this project help us? Not them. But us? Because they're out there living their best life while we are the ones to suffer for what seems like nothing.â
  Snipe says nothing. âAll I did was bring it up. Why is that so wrong?â
 He takes off his mask for the first time. âItâs teaching both of you. Theyâve grown up in a way you didn't, and will not, have to. You have faced the effects of war which you shouldnât have in ways they never faced. Now it is time to raise you both in a way that prevents that. An opportunity to bond and grow together.â
 You rub your eyes. âAnswer me! How can I take out my anger then while they get off of everything ? We apparently have a test today-â
âWhich you are missing!â
  âSo bent on them. Damn, man! When are you going to start being a hero?â
âI am-â
âBeing our hero? Iâm tired, Snipe. Iâm sick of getting in trouble for nothing and I didnât even get to study for this dumb test. Did any of us? Bet they did!â You point to the door. You immediately left and pushed Aizawa away from you since he was in the way.
Youâre sitting on the bench outside of the school with your head in your hands. The breeze slightly cools your face. Â
Desperately, you want to excel. In this project, life, and this school. You want to be a good student and person. Youâre so tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Everything is so heavy. Noaâs sleeping better, just not enough. Heâs easier to handle to an extent. Not to the point where you can go to class and do your work. Yeah, you skipped. Whatâs the point of going, though? Snipe yells at you when heâs too loud and everyone glares at you when it starts a chain reaction.Â
  You canât focus. You canât sleep. You try to work hard in school and work harder at the restaurant. How can you get rest when you don't have time to?
 The scholarship covers the tuition, the dorm, and Recovery Girl's and Lunch Rush services. And with Lunch Rush you have a limited amount, just like a public school. If you go over, you have to pay. And what about everything else you need? Add all of that with Noa's expenses, you're drained. Plus, if anything happens to him, no doubt would that come out of your pocket.
Caring for Noa is exhausting. He's a good kid, totally! You also have experience with children. You've babysat before. However, taking care of a child on your own is very different, especially when the father disregards you and hurts you. The hero students donât have to worry about this. Seeing them living and laughing just makes you so angry.Â
  Your body feels so heavy. The salty water slides down your face and onto the sidewalk. Your nose runs embarrassingly as you sway from the weight. Noa coughs and sniffles. It snaps you up and grab him. âHey, little man.â
  You try to rub your face. He doesnât understand, heâs a doll which causes an ache in your chest. This has gone on too long. He feels so real. And you are crying too much, feeling way too much. Seeing the future heroes happy and content just hurt you so, so, much. Snipe, your teacher, is hurting you too. It's stupid, right? You know what to expect from heroes by now.
  Feeling the chill again, you decide to get up to bring him inside. Can he catch a cold? Suddenly, a hand touches your back. You jump and face them. Izuku stands there without an expression. Youâre so tired. You donât have the energy to say something snappy if need be.
Instead of going for it, he hugs you, being careful with Noa. The doll baby snuggles up to him. Izuku places his hand on the back of your head holding you close. You donât know him well enough to be like this. You let it happen anyway. Heâs warm and smells good despite his training about an hour ago.Â
 âItâs going to be okay, (Y/n).â Your lips wobble. You're sick of that. âI know we don't know each other very well but I thought youâd need it.âÂ
He speaks again. âSnipe said you made a point and are letting all of you redo the test. I guess not everyone got to study,â
Is that supposed to make you feel better? It took for you to run out here and cry for him to notice he is doing all of you wrong? Itâs humiliating and dramatic, isnât it? There are literally people dying and here you are crying and making your teacher feel bad.
âSo, Iâll help you, okay? Tonight, we can have dinner in the commons and do it together.â He rubs your back. This is so embarrassing. You want to scream at him, kick him, anything. You want to burn this school down with the heroes in it. Maybe even the dolls, too.
Izuku declares, âIâm right here.â Like itâs the most natural thing to him. Right then, Noa's tummy dings to show he is one years old. You hate how his first year is seeing you cry.

Itty bitty reference of everyone bc i am Tired of colourpicking from the previous page (and bc everyone has some semblance of consistent design now XD )
I drew this between posting Moon 3 (part 2 and 3) so sorry for the lack of Small Boi, he will be added when i get time + when he has a name revealed!
Fun notes!
- Poppy's short tail and Dart's nub-butt are both caused by the manx gene, Dart just has a higher expression! (it's dominant so Pine doesn't have it at all)
- Burnet and Quiver have the exact same eye colour and very close skin tone
- Pine's mullet will get bigger as he grows but it's important to note even as a baby bc i think it's funni
- Poppy looks like a unit but is mostly fluff, Burnet is actually stocky
- age can be at least partially determined by how yellow someone's teeth are lmao
- Quiver's angry eyes started as a joke but stuck around bc it's fun to draw
- Pounce (and Lilac to an extent) is the only character with dark brown pads bc of a silly headcannon I have regarding fully white characters being polar adapted, most characters will continue to have pinkish red ones! (except new lil guy bc he has melanism)
- I like to imagine Burnet isn't piebald but actually has a somatic cell mutation similar to bloodmark horses. Why? idk, i think it's fun, and also genuine piebaldism comes with health issues
- everyone has different ear tufts bc i think that's cute cx
- Lilac is tall
has ANYONE noticed the sclera thing yet? No? ok

gmorning Clari!!! đ Iâm not sure youâve done it before, but Iâd loooove to know what type of yanderes youâd classify your genshin faves as đ
ANDYYYY i am so sorry i am responding a few days late to this and thatâs because i accidentally wrote you a whole novel for an answer :) your ask sparked so many thoughts and i just BLAAAH spewed them all over the page (*ďžĎďž) ugh ahahaha ANYWAY oh gosh okay i have so much to say, letâs get into it!!! also apologies for how MASSIVE ajaxâs is waaaah
characters: wriothesley, ajax [childe], kamisato ayato, thoma warnings: 18+ minors do not interact, yandere behaviour (gaslighting, obsessiveness, toxic relationships, delusional thinking, manipulation, over-protectiveness, etc) words: 2.1k
âËâš đ°đŤđ˘đ¨đđĄđđŹđĽđđ˛
WRIOTHESLEY is the controlling, authoritarian type that feels like a really strict father, all under the guise of âprotecting youâ and âkeeping you safeâ. he veers into delusional territory a little here because he genuinely believes what heâs telling you (and himself) and genuinely believes himself to be doing the right thing. he isnât possessive, he just wants to make sure youâre going out with safe people. he isnât obsessive, he just wants to know where you are at all times in case an emergency strikes and he has to come find you. he isnât overbearing, he just cares and is proactiveâdonât you want him to care? canât you see heâs only this âprotectiveâ because he loves you?Â
he has thoroughly convinced himself that this behaviour has nothing to do with jealousy or a desire to keep you locked up, to keep you 100% certainly safe and his forever, and nothing to do with wanting to exert complete control over you, orchestrating your every decisionâand heâs pretty good at continuously deluding himself into believing it. heâs so good, in fact, and his logic is so sound, that it has YOU wondering if youâre âjust being crazyâ, if youâre overthinking things or reading too much into them. wriothesley has had a lot taken away from him, after all, and he knows exactly how the mind of criminals tickâcan you really blame him for being a bit paranoid? maybe youâre the one whoâs overreacting and being unreasonable. maybe youâre even feeling a little guilty for being so ungratefulâshouldnât you appreciate having someone who loves and cares for you this much to go to such extents? shouldnât you want to relinquish all power to someone you love equally as much? shouldnât you trust him to make only the best, most sound and appropriate decisions for you? you probably should.Â
âËâš đđŁđđą
AJAX is kind of like, the typical yandere, and he encompasses several âtypesâ, evolving throughout the course of your relationship and shapeshifting into different variants depending on the situation itself. and while the other three men seem normal until youâre in too deep with them, refraining from showing symptoms of yandere-ness until after youâve been with them for an extended period of time and mean a lot to them, ajax is weird from the very beginning.Â
almost immediately you can sense that thereâs something slightly off about him, but you canât put your finger on what it is. itâs so subtle that it doesnât strike you as particularly dangerous, leading you to merely write it off as one of his quirks and nothing more.Â
heâs overbearing right from the start, of course; not necessarily enough to be concerning just yet, but enough for it to be abnormalâunusualâand noticeable (which reminds me of your lil ajax piece!!!). from the instant he sees you, he is irreversibly obsessed with you. you permeate his every waking thought, and eventually begin to leak into his dreams, too, and suddenly he can barely breathe without knowing where you are and what youâre doing, his concentration consumed by you.Â
he begins stalking youââoverseeingâ, he had called itâmaking detailed notes of your favourite locations and your most frequented friends. heâs constantly got an eye on you one way or another, even if he has to employ other people to do it for him, discreetly reporting their findings every few hours. he tells them youâre in dangerâwhich, you are, technicallyâand that you must be observed at all times from afar, silently and stealthily.Â
ajax is patient and he can play the waiting game, carefully devising and then revising his strategy based on your moves. he loves playing predator and prey, gets a thrill from how the hunt unfoldsâmuch like a battle, itâs a story, a rich tapestry you and he are constantly and concurrently creating, together. and that he thinks is so beautiful.
in textbook yandere fashion, once heâs gathered a sufficient amount of intel, he begins âshowing upâ randomly at your usual spots, âbumping into youâ fortuitously. charming and sweet, the only thing thatâs initially unsettling is just how well the two of you get along. ajax is sure not to mimic you too muchâhe doesnât want to be a mirror, after all, and being too similar is far from a good thing (especially when it matches so well it simply canât be coincidental).
wellâthat, and the sharp glint in his eye that flares with something dangerous every time you giggle or gush, every time you fall further for him. and once he has you enchanted, ensnared, youâre trapped for life, tangled up in him so tightly that he might as well have fused to your flesh.Â
ajax likes to tell you it isnât about power and control, but he knows that it is. heâs smart, and heâs self aware, and he doesnât really care if this is âwrongââhe sees it as necessary and he genuinely believes he knows better than you do. he has to take care of you, or else who will? youâre clearly not capable of satisfactorily doing it on your own, so he must (god, how would you manage without him?). even if you oppose him or fight back against him, heâs purely convinced youâre bull-headed and stubborn, snorting at your wanting to be independent when he truly knows youâre too stupid take care of yourself âproperlyâ all on your own.
violence is a mainstay of your relationship, but not towards you; never towards youâmerely towards everyone around you. his jealousy knows no bounds, but you will rarely see it outright. instead, ajax prefers to hone his emotions, to fashion them into a weapon or use them as fuel to thoroughly tear apart anyone who looks your way in a manner he doesnât like. itâs his job as your lover and keeper, isnât it?Â
âËâš đ¤đđŚđ˘đŹđđđ¨ đđ˛đđđ¨
AYATO knows what he is, and he doesnât care. why should he, when heâs sure what heâs doing is ultimately correct and heâs used to having everything that he wants, and everything going his way, even if he has to force/manipulate it to? heâs so skilled at that in particularâmanipulating situations and events to procure favourable outcomes for himself. in ayatoâs mind, you should be grateful that he affords you so many freedomsâhe could lock you away in the basement or a padded room, chain you to a bed with no entertainment or stimulation save for the books he has so conscientiously selected for you, and no other human contact aside from himself. but he trusts you, and he doesnât want to go to those measures (though rest assured, he has promised you he will not hesitate to reach such heights if he deems it absolutely necessary, no matter how much he doesnât want to; you staying his comes before his personal preferences and pleasures). as such, he allows you to roam the estate grounds under the watchful eye of his closest confidants and most capable guards (usually thoma, unless he is otherwise occupied and busy); he allows you access to letter writing materials (though they must go through two rounds of supervision and revisions before they are approved; once by thoma, and once by ayato himself); he allows you to go out in public as long as you are with him, etc.Â
despite these apparent freedoms he affords you, he still picks your outfits out for you each day, and he devises a comprehensive meal plan for you each week, and creates schedules and rules he expects you to follow, thoroughly and meticulously to the letter. it is these subtle forms of ownership that he enjoys the most. he doesnât feel the need to shout from the mountaintops, loudly and aggressively, that you are his, because the fact is so obvious, so evident, the second anyone merely glances at you. you walk like him, you talk like him, you sit, stand, and bow like him, just like he trained you to.Â
ayato is also the type of yandere to punish you. he is molding your pretty little mind into exactly what he wants it to be, and that means that undesirable behaviours must be immediately and severely corrected through appropriate punishmentsâyou must learn, or be taught what is right and what is wrong in ayato terms + definitions, so you will refrain from repeating such behaviour in the future. he is truly crafting you into the most perfect, precious, obedient little dollâand having a blast while doing so. itâs his little pet passion project, in a way; something he looks forward to working on when he has a moment of spare time.Â
ayato was sly and clever with the way he initially enticed you, entrapped you, but underneath his cool, precisely chiseled exterior, ayato is selfish, manipulative, and extremely controlling. all decisions are ultimately made by and go through him. he will skillfully and carefully cut you off from all lifelines and communication, rendering you wholly dependent on him, and then will meticulously chip away at your mind until he sculpts it into exactly what he desiresâsomeone who is as obsessed with him as he is with them. he slowly, stealthily, and steadily induces a severe, irreversible case of stockholm syndrome. the damage he does to your mind is permanentâand thatâs exactly his goal. you now live for him. your days are marked by his appearances, his comings and goings, and the only thing you have to look forward to is seeing + spending time with him. you live to please him, live to be with him, and become absorbed by him, so you are merely an extension of him and no longer an individual yourself. everything revolves around ayatoâhe is your entire universe.Â
âËâš đđĄđ¨đŚđ
THOMA is the most dangerous type of yandere, because thoma is genuine. thomaâs feelings are 100% authenticâand he earnestly intends to bring you no harm whatsoeverâtheyâre just way too intense. he loves you so much that it veers into insanity, and the passion he feels towards you (and towards keeping you safe + claiming you as his) is so fierce that it physically hurts him to experience, chest blistering with scorching adoration and razored affection, something so dense and so all-consuming that thoma wants to claw through his own flesh and pry his ribcage apart spoke by spoke just so he can experience a shred of relief.Â
thoma is, for the most part, an honest guyâstarkly, brashly honest, so honest it shatters his words and gnaws at his voice, leaving it rough and raw, splintered to shards; but you can always trust he says exactly what he means. he severely lacks self awareness, not even realizing that his behaviour is inappropriate and extreme (he just cares about you SO much! it blinds his rationale and erodes his logic, incapacitating his ability to understand that heâs so suffocating it borders on terrifying).Â
but what makes thoma so incredibly perilous is his sincerity. he truly just wants to keep you safe, eyes brimming with tears and voice hitching on barely contained emotion as he thoroughly explains to you his logic for stashing tracking devices in your bags or his reasoning for shattering the kneecaps of the man who made you uncomfortable at work, sentiment thick in his throat, words straining with the weight of his honesty, with the desperation for you to understand, to see it his way. he swears to the high heavens that heâd never hurt a single hair on your pretty, precious little head, and promises that he doesnât want to scare you, but firmly asserts that he will do whatever it takes to keep you safe.Â
and he means it. thoma is, in the most essential sense, your guard dog. heâs so sweet towards you, even submissive at times, always subservient to your every wish and whim, your every demand and desire, but heâll fucking rip anyone within a meter of you to pieces with his teeth and bare hands alone if he feels as though you are being threatened in any wayâand his standards and definition of âthreatenedâ are extreme and absurd, of course, causing him to react in a way that is severely disproportionate to the situation.
it borders on too much all the timeâhe is too obsessive, too protective, too clingy, but heâs also so sweet, so gentle, so incredibly bonafide that you canât help but not be upset with him. he only does what he does because youâre his entire world, right? whatâs so harmful about that?Â

I love your artwork so much! Your colors are so vibrant and none of the white speckles in the paper ever shows, its so impressive and I really dig it! I was wondering if you use any sort of blending medium? Like baby oil or anything? Either way, I really enjoy looking at your artwork and I'm always excited to see whatever you'll make next
I use a colorless blender (prismacolor, which is wax-based so baby oil probably wouldnt work) but my scanner is also rly bad about picking up white specks in a way photographing the art with my phone isnt, so I usually have to do some digital editing to get rid of them as well.
I do this by duplicating the layer, setting the one on top to "darken," and using the mixer brush to blend out the white spots + just use the eyedropper tool to select the color of that area (needs to be a slightly lighter shade of it) and color over the white spots with the brush tool
i edited a small bit of the original scan to show what i mean
original:
with the edited layer:
heres how it looks set to normal instead of darken, I used both the mixing brush and regular brush just to demo it
#explanation is under the cut. post got a bit too long#u prob have to click the image for full resolution to rly see what i mean about the white specks showing up#i think its bc the scanner is meant to scan documents. so it picks up the white specks of paper very brightly#how much editing is done varies from piece to piece#ive thought abt listing 'digital art' as one of the mediums in tags for the more heavily edited art#where it looks significantly different than the physical drawing in front of me#but i feel like that might be confusing#art where i set out to do some mix of traditional and digital is tagged this way but im not rly sure where to draw the line tbh#the hunger wasnt edited in a way where it looks significantly different from the original (just a bit darker)#the scan is just dull and light bc my scanner is like that lol#so with editing that one i was mostly just trying to make it look like the physical drawing in front of me#u can tell by the 'layer 44' in the screenshot these take a lot of editing lmao#art help

slow cooking a lighthearted modern au where esen and baoxiang are pining after their friends ouyang and ma, respectively. but due to a ~wacky misunderstanding~ (read: chronic heteronormativity) they think ouyang and ma are dating each otherâobviously thatâs why ouyang is always going over to her place, right?
esen is in denial about his feelings and extremely supportive of ouyangâs relationship (he avoids talking about it or thinking about itâout of respect to ouyangâs privacy ofc). baoxiang thinks ouyang is in denial about his own sexuality and using ma (he has formulated a 12-step plan to Remove Ouyang that he will enact When The Time Comes).
then one day: baoxiang and ma are hanging out (spa day), esen and ouyang are also hanging out (sporting event(?)) and they all decide to meet up at that new restaurant afterwards. as they arrive, ma and ouyang are texting, they tell baoxiang and esen âhey my partner got us a table.â so baoxiang and esen follow them to the table expecting to see the other couple already seated there. but itâs just zhu.
(they both have met zhuâthey thought she was just maâs roommate. in reality sheâs maâs fiancĂŠe and ouyangâs queerplatonic d/s situationship.) (they also realize neither of them has ever actually seen ma and ouyang interact for an extended period of time. it becomes immediately apparent that ma dislikes ouyang and ouyang doesnât even know her name.)
#au where wang baoxiang is stupid. for my mental health#idk if this is satisfying ending since no oneâs situation improved at all#except arguably ouyang who is no longer on baoxiangâs hit list#(at least not for that reason)#surprise spicy subplot:#baoxiang is tutoring a transfer student for a few university courses#he struck a deal w the kid to help him practice his korean#(he thinks ma is korean. because of the misunderstandings u see.)#so they start doing the tutoring sessions in korean#ayushiridara: hyung~ if u rly wanna impress this girl i can help u practice some other stuff đ#baoxiang: i already know how to do the other stuff#somehow they end up in bed together anyway#ok the end#the radiant emperor#my fic#sorta#feels like this should go in the groupchat#but in a fandom this size i guess the tag is the group chat

Kingdom of Ash Chapter 59
Chapter; Highlights
His ears still rang with the din of battle, his breath a rasping beat echoed by Aelin.
Atop the blood-slick battlements, their allies and companions around them, Rowan wordlessly passed Aelin the waterskin. She drank deeply, then handed it to Fenrys.
An unleashing and release. That's what the battle had been for his mate.
Hasar at last looked Aelin over. "I heard you put on a show today."
Rowan braced himself.
Aelin turned from the battlefield and inclined her head. "You look as if you did, too." Indeed, Hasar's ornate armor was splattered with black blood. She'd been in the thick of it, atop her Muniqi horse, and had ridden right up to the gates. But the princess made no further comment.
Irritation, deep and nearly hidden, flashed in Aelin's eyes. Yet she didn't speak again-didn't push the princess about their next steps. She just watched the battlefield once more, chewing on her lip.
She'd barely stopped during the battle, halting only when there had been no more Valg left to kill. And in the minutes since the walls had been cleared, she'd remained quietâ distant. As if she was still climbing out of that calm, calculating place she'd descended into while fighting. She hadn't bothered to remove any of her armor. The bronze battle-crown was caked with blood, her hair matted with it.
Chaol's father had taken one look at her armor, at Rowan's, and gone white with rage.
For now. They had bigger things to consider. Things that drove his mate to gnaw on her lip. When Prince Kashin's army might arrive, if they would indeed head northward to Terrasen. If today had been enough to win them over.
"Any nearby are to run here. Those farthest out will have to flee for the forest." Rowan met Aelin's stare. Her hands began shaking.
This cannot end here, she seemed to say.
Panicâpanic indeed flared in her eyes. Rowan gripped her trembling hand and squeezed.
But there was no truth or lie that might soothe her. No truth or lie to save the army on the plain.
Something had gone wrong. Something was wrong.
The battlefield stretched into the distance, healers darting amongst the felled bodies with white banners high to indicate their locations. So many. So many dead and wounded. A sea of them.
Elide reached Chaol's side just as Nesryn Faliq leaped atop her beautiful ruk, launching into a dive for the army below. No-the other ruks.
Elide laid a hand on Lord Chaol's shoulder, drawing his attention from where he watched Nesryn fly off. Blood-splattered, but his bronze eyes were clear. And full of terror.
Any message that Yrene had given Elide faded from her memory. "What's wrong?"
It was Aelin who answered, her bloodied armor strange and ancient. A vision of old. "The dam is going to break," the queen said hoarsely. "And wipe away anyone on the plain."
Oh gods. Oh gods.
Elide glanced between them, and knew the answer to her next question: What can be done?
Nothing.
Ruks took to the skies, flapping toward them, soldiers in their talons and clinging to their backs.
"Has anyone warned the healers?" Elide pointed to the white banners waving so far out into the plain. "The Healer on High?" Hafiza was down there, Yrene had said.
Silence. Then Prince Sartaq swore in his own tongue, and sprinted for his golden ruk. He was spearing for the battlefield within seconds, his shouts ringing out. Kadara dipped every few moments, and when she rose again, another small figure was in her talons. Healers. Grabbing as many of them as he could.
Elide whirled to her companions as soldiers began running for the keep, trampling corpse and injured alike. Orders went out in the language of the southern continent, and more soldiers on the battlefield leaped into action.
"What elsewhat else can we do?" Elide demanded. Aelin and Rowan only stared toward the battlefield, watching with Fenrys and Gavriel as the ruks raced to save as many as they could. Behind them, Princess Hasar paced, and Chaol and his father murmured about where they might fit everyone in the keep. Those who survived.
Elide looked at them again. Looked at all of them.
And then asked quietly, "Where is Lorcan?" None of them turned. Elide asked, louder, "Where is Lorcan?" Gavriel's tawny eyes scanned hers, confusion dancing there. "He ... he went out onto the battlefield during the fighting. I saw him just before the khagan's troops reached him."
"Where is he?" Elide's voice broke. Fenrys faced her now. Then Rowan and Aelin. Elide begged, voice breaking, "Where is Lorcan?" From their stunned silence, she knew they hadn't so much as wondered.
Elide whirled to the battlefield. To that endless stretch of fallen bodies. Soldiers fleeing. Many of the wounded being abandoned where they lay. So many bodies. So, so many soldiers down there.
"Where." No one answered. Elide pointed toward the battlefield and snarled at Gavriel, "Where did you see him join with the khagan's forces?"
"Nearly on the other side of the field," Gavriel answered, voice strained, and pointed across the plain. "IâI didn't see him after that."
"Shit," Fenrys breathed.
Rowan said to him, "Use your magic. Jump to the field, find him, and bring him back."
Relief crumpled Elide's chest.
Until Fenrys said, "I can't."
"You didn't use it once during the battle," Rowan challenged. "You should be fully primed to do it."
Fenrys blanched beneath the blood on his face, and cast pleading eyes to Elide. "I can't."
Silence fell on the battlements.
Then Rowan growled, "You won't." He pointed with a bloody finger to the battlefield.
"You'd let him die, and for what? Aelin forgave him." His tattoo scrunched as he snarled again.
"Save him."
Fenrys swallowed. But Aelin said, "Leave it, Rowan." Rowan snarled at her too. She snarled right back. "Leave it."
Some unspoken conversation passed between them, and the hope flaring in Elide's chest went out as Rowan backed down. Gave Fenrys an apologetic nod. Fenrys, looking like he was going to be sick, just faced the battlefield again.
Elide backed away a step. Then another.
Lorcan couldn't be dead.
She would know if he were dead. She would know it, in her heart, her soul, if he were gone.
He was down there. He was down there, in that army, perhaps injured and bleeding out â No one stopped her as Elide raced inside the keep. Each step limped, pain cracking through her leg, but she didn't falter as she hit the interior stairwell and plunged into the chaos.
She had made him a promise.
She had sworn him an oath, all those months ago.
I will always find you.
Soldiers and healers fled up the stairs, shoving past Elide. The shouting was near-deafening, bouncing off the ancient stones. She battled her way down, sobbing through her teeth.
I will always find you.
Pushing, elbowing, bellowing at the frantic people who ran past her, Elide fought for each step downward. Toward the gates.
People screamed, a never-ending flood surging up the stairs. Still Elide pushed her way down, losing a step here, another there. They did not even look at her, even try to clear a way as they flowed upward. It was only when Elide lost another step that she roared into the stairwell, "Clear a path for the queen!"
No one listened, so she did it again. She filled her voice with command, with every ounce of power that she'd seen the Fae males use to intimidate their opponents. "Clear a path for the queen!"
This time, people pressed against the walls.
Elide took the small opening, and screamed her order again and again, ankle barking with every step down.
But she made it. Made it to the chaotic lower level, to the open gates teeming with soldiers. Beyond them, bodies stretched into the horizon. Warriors and healers and those bearing the wounded rushed toward any stairwell they could find.
Elide managed all of five limping steps toward the open gate before she knew it would be impossible. To cross the field, to find him on the endless plain, before that dam burst and he was swept away. Before he was gone forever.
He was not dead.
He was not dead.
I will always find you.
Elide scanned the gates, the skies for any sign of a ruk that might carry her. But they soared to the upper levels, crawling with soldiers and healers, some even depositing their charges onto the mountain face itself. And at ground level, none would hear her cries for help.
No soldiers would stop, either.
Elide scanned the other end of the gates' entryway.
Beheld the horses being led out from their stables by frantic handlers, the beasts bucking at the panic around them as they were hauled toward the teeming ramps.
A black mare reared, her cry a sharp warning before she slashed her hooves at the handler. Lord Chaol's horse. The handler shrieked and fell back, barely grasping the reins as the horse stomped, her ears flat to her head.
Elide did not think. Did not reconsider. She limped for the horses and the stables.
She said to the frantic handler, still backing away from the half-wild horse, "I'll get her." The man, white-faced, threw her the reins.
"Good luck." Then he, too, ran.
The mare Farasha-yanked so hard on the reins that Elide was nearly hurled across the stones. But she planted her feet, leg screaming, and said to the horse, "I have need of you, fierce-heart." She met Farasha's dark, raging eyes. "I have need of you." Her voice broke.
"Please."
And gods above, that horse stilled. Blinked.
Horses and handlers streamed past them, but Elide held firm. Waited until Farasha lowered her head, as if in permission.
The stirrups were low enough thanks to Lord Chaol's long legs that Elide could reach them. She still bit down on her shout as her weight settled on her bad ankle, as she pushed, and heaved herself into Farasha's fine saddle. A small mercy, that they had not even had time to unsaddle the horses after battle. A set of what seemed to be braces hung from its sides, surely to keep Lord Chaol stabilized, and Elide unhooked them. Any weight, anything to slow her, had to be discarded.
Elide gathered the reins. "To the battlefield, Farasha."
With a whinnying cry, Farasha plunged into the fray.
Soldiers leaped from their path, and Elide did not stop to apologize, did not stop for anyone, as she and the black mare charged toward the gates. Then through them.
And onto the plain.

i love love looooove doing whatever tf i want with structure in lay me down BEYOND belief. have just decided that chapter eleven is basically a romcom montage except itâs set in the evil apocalypse library and also thereâs no romance and it also uhhhhhhh makes me want to cry â¤ď¸
#was going over the outline i had for this chapter and realized that the only real âplot relatedâ events#happen at the very beginning and end of it. and i got SUPER bummed for a minute there bc i was like. well fuck#now iâve gotta chop this up and put this stuff in other chapters and do some major restructuring and that SUCKS#then thought about what if i didnât do that and also thought about all these little mircoscene ideas i keep having that donât really#fit anywhere that keep ending up on a list in my notes app then a cartoon lightbulb clicked on over my head#and now the âheavyâ scenes (ig?) are separated with montage.#and listen. logically. LOGICALLY eye know that it would make more sense to do the restructuring and that my little anecdotes are NOT#reallyyyyy ânecessaryâ at all but i literally found a way to have my cake and eat it to do u really think iâd pass that up#ALSO those scenes are EXTREMELY necessary TO ME#and in the end thatâs kinda all that matters god bless.#anyways writing is fun u guys itâs literally so much fun iâm so happy with how this worked out#and if u read through all these tags ilysm. mwah.#wip: ghost story

deeply compelled by this photo
#heretic tag#finishing rec lists by doing the most important part - using my 30 image allowance to splice up the text#and well they can't all make it... and i'm fond enough of this photo i'm posting it on its own#I Just Think It's Interesting (and slightly comical) how friendly they are to each other in person for the most part#like you'll get them saying the foulest shit about them in the press and then u compare with the footage/photos from the time and go?#now sure you could say being polite to a coworker you hate is an incredibly low bar. but. like. it's often not one riders clear!!#I feel fairly confident about why this is the case from valentino's side of the equation#casey's is a little more... hm because the thing is it's not like we have a big enough feud sample size to compare with#but i just find it something kinda fun about him... like yeah he's blunt to the point of being wildly tactless...#but also friendly with valentino who he thinks is basically the devil... he has layers...#//#brr brr#WARM smiles towards someone he at this stage definitely loathes as a rider if nothing else... idk it's interesting#it does add a specific fun vibe to that rivalry imo#like they are SO nasty to each other in the press and then it's all :)) how have you been valentino :) congrats on the wonderful race :)#the list is done btw i need to read it through two more times to grammar check (not fact check i don't believe in that) and then i'll Post
