Things the Biden-Harris Administration Did This Week #38

Oct 11-18 2024

President Biden announced that this Administration had forgiven the student loan debt of 1 million public sector workers. The cancellation of the student loan debts of 60,000 teachers, firefighters, EMTs, nurses and other public sector workers brings the total number of people who's debts have been erased by the Biden-Harris Administration using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness to 1 million. the PSLF was passed in 2007 but before President Biden took office only 7,000 people had ever had their debts forgiven through it. The Biden-Harris team have through different programs managed to bring debt relief to 5 million Americans and counting despite on going legal fights against Republican state Attorneys General.

The Federal Trade Commission finalizes its "one-click to cancel" rule. The new rule requires businesses to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it was to sign up for it. It also requires more up front information to be shared before offering billing information.

The Department of Transportation announced that since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration there are 1.7 million more construction and manufacturing jobs and 700,000 more jobs in the transportation sector. There are now 400,000 more union workers than in 2021. 60,000 Infrastructure projects across the nation have been funded by the Biden-Harris Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Under this Administration 16 million jobs have been added, including 1.7 construction and manufacturing jobs, construction employment is the highest ever recorded since records started in 1939. 172,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during the Trump administration.

The Department of Energy announced $2 billion to protect the U.S. power grid against growing threats of extreme weather. This money will go to 38 projects across 42 states and Washington DC. It'll upgrade nearly 1,000 miles worth of transmission lines. The upgrades will allow 7.5 gigawatts of new grid capacity while also generating new union jobs across the country.

The EPA announced $125 million to help upgrade older diesel engines to low or zero-emission solutions. The EPA has selected 70 projects to use the funds on. They range from replacing school buses, to port equipment, to construction equipment. More than half of the selected projects will be replacing equipment with zero-emissions, such as all electric school buses.

The Department of The Interior and State of California broke ground on the Salton Sea Species Conservation Habitat Project. The Salton Sea is California's largest lake at over 300 miles of Surface area. An earlier project worked to conserve and restore shallow water habitats in over 4,000 acres on the southern end of the lake, this week over 700 acres were added bring the total to 5,000 acres of protected land. The Biden-Harris Administration is investing $250 million in the project along side California's $500 million. Part of the Administration's effort to restore wild life habitat and protect water resources.

The Department of Energy announced $900 Million in investment in next generation nuclear power. The money will help the development of Generation III+ Light-Water Small Modular Reactors, smaller lighter reactors which in theory should be easier to deploy. DoE estimates the U.S. will need approximately 700-900 GW of additional clean, firm power generation capacity to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Currently half of America's clean energy comes from nuclear power, so lengthening the life space of current nuclear reactors and exploring the next generation is key to fighting climate change.

The federal government took two big steps to increase the rights of Alaska natives. The Departments of The Interior and Agricultural finalized an agreement to strengthen Alaska Tribal representation on the Federal Subsistence Board. The FSB oversees fish and wildlife resources for subsistence purposes on federal lands and waters in Alaska. The changes add 3 new members to the board appointed by the Alaska Native Tribes, as well as requiring the board's chair to have experience with Alaska rural subsistence. The Department of The Interior also signed 3 landmark co-stewardship agreements with Alaska Native Tribes.

The Department of Energy announced $860 million to help support solar energy in Puerto Rico. The project will remove 2.7 million tons of CO2 per year, or about the same as taking 533,000 cars off the road. It serves as an important step on the path to getting Puerto Rico to 100% renewable by 2050.

The Department of the Interior announced a major step forward in geothermal energy on public lands. The DoI announced it had approved the Fervo Cape Geothermal Power Project in Beaver County, Utah. When finished it'll generate 2 gigawatts of power, enough for 2 million homes. The BLM has now green lit 32 gigawatts of clean energy projects on public lands. A major step toward the Biden-Harris Administration's goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.

Bonus: President Biden meets with a Kindergarten Teacher who's student loans were forgiven this week

----

A few days have passed since your encounter with Red Robin. He hasn't shown up since, but another thing has.

Your work had sent you an email. An invitation to Wayne Enterprises, to represent them. According to them, your location was the closest to Wayne Enterprises, and so you were selected. You lived 50 minutes away from Wayne Enterprises. Their home office was 30 minutes away. You weren't sure who was doing the math here, but they needed some more practice.

That being said, you could notice a pattern when there was one. This was Tim Drake's attempt to get you out of your home. And unfortunately, it was going to work. You needed your job. It was perfect, remote, didn't bother you as long as you got the work done. Jobs like that were rare, especially in Gotham.

Not for the first time, you kinda felt like crying.

If Red Robin, your soulmate, was indeed Tim Drake, then what was this? Did he have you figured out? Or was he continuing the investigation?

You didn't know...

Refusing to show up would get you fired. There was no way around that. But, what if you couldn't go?

What if you were too injured to go? There's no way you could fake something, the bats are quite literally master detectives. That and your soul animal form would likely reveal the uninjured truth.

Maybe if you injured yourself?

No, no no no. That was a bad route to go down. If this meeting is to check whether you are soulmates with him, a matching injury on your soul animal form would be like a criminal and a suspect having the same tattoo.

There wasn't really any option here. Which, really, is just typical for the vigilantes of Gotham.

"Ughhh." You groaned to yourself, cradling your hands with your head. You glared over at Red, who had been showing up much more frequently these past few days (which was saying something, since all your soul animals were already by you 23/7). Red gave a small chirp in reply, some sort of smugness in its tone.

Maybe it was time to invest in wind chimes or something. You heard they can scare off robins.

You felt like you were going to need it.

~ ~ ~ ~

Tim's developed something of a guilty habit.

It wasn't a bad thing, per se. Nothing B would particularly frown at. Dick might even agree.

He imagined you wouldn't quite feel the same, though.

You looked especially fragile, as you slept. During the day your face was haunted by false bravado, a paranoid edge to every smile. Sleep smoothed out the lines of your face, giving a softer touch to your slumbering form.

You frown when he reaches out to poke your cheek. It's cute. His hand twitches for his camera. You're always cute, whether it's a small little frown on your face or beaming joy.

He's developed a new favorite activity. Alongside solving cases, he's now watching you. He wants to observe it all. From little habits to obvious passions, he wants to know everything. Hobbies, skills, loves, DNA. He'd only just found you, the answer to the mystery that he's been in since birth. He's had a lot of time to build up this obsession.

He wants and wants and needs. He can wait to take.

You are a light sleeper, but he's a quiet stalker. You don't always drink milk before bed, but when you do, you'll get a little more tired than usual. Your groggy face is cute, too.

He reached out, stroking your hair with the slightest of a smile beginning on his face. It was soft. It reminded him of you, your soul animal form. It had flinched away from him earlier, as it always does whenever they were in uniform. Finding that you do the same as a human wasn't so surprising.

They had adapted to your soul form’s skittishness. They could do the same again. His mind briefly flashed through some ideas, an ankle bracelet, a watch, a collar? If it was on the ankle, you'd match.

He broke out of his musings at the shift of movement. A flutter of wings. B’s soul animal flew down perching on a piece of furniture nearby as a vantage point. He smirked. Looked like he wasn't the only one feeling a little possessive tonight.

He must've been thinking of you. Not surprising, given that your soul form was scheduled time with him today. They had to work out a schedule, else there would have been a lot more stabbings. Not that it didn't prevent sudden abductions occasionally, thanks Jason.

That was fine though. B could have you tonight, Damian could have you tomorrow, Dick the next. Because Tim had the real you, right here.

And he wasn't planning on letting go.

There's a room he's preparing inside Drake manor. He’d put your name on it, but that would be too obvious if anyone came around. Instead, it would be his little secret with you. He's only just met you, but he has plenty of ideas for it already.

He didn't feel guilty for this. Not at all.

You were his as much as he was yours after all. If there was a problem with these feelings, then why would fate itself tie you to him?

If anything, the only guilt he’d feel is not telling anyone else. He couldn't help it, he just wanted you to himself for a while. He caught you, so he was allowed to have you.

But was that really guilt? Or just annoyance at the idea of getting caught?

An alert on his communicator made him frown, taking him out of the trance he had felt into. There was more he had to do.

A shame, but it was fine. He got to spend some quality time with you, taken a few things for the future. He’d make more time. And you'll have all the time in the world for him. But first…

Tim withdrew a specialty camera from his utility belt, raising it to his face. He adjusted a few settings, then…

Snap!

~ ~ ~ ~

You fought the urge to yawn. You have been so sleepy lately. You had to wake up especially early for today. Lovely.

At least today was the moment of truth. You'd show Red Robin for once and for all that you were perfectly normal, and not at all his soulmate. He’d lose interest, and your life would return to its domesticity.

The one good thing going for today was that you're somehow accompanied by none of your soul animals. A truly rare occasion that is ruined by the fact that you're instead visiting a soulmate in the flesh. If any of your soul animals do show up, you have your old reliable bag to shove them into. So, you should be alright.

Wayne Enterprises was a terrifying image, but you steadied yourself with the fact that your whole life’s freedom was at stake here, which was much more terrifying. After that you could get through the door. Security just letting you through after giving your name almost had you running out the door though, you'd admit.

The elevator ride was long and solemn, giving you time to think about everything. Maybe you should think about moving, staying in Gotham was perhaps a ridiculous sentiment to begin with. It was a shame though, you were a Gothamite through and through, you didn't want to leave the country your parents lived and raised you in.

Still, perhaps it was time to leave. Things were getting too risky. Thinking about it, Wayne Enterprises? Honesty what even was your life.

The ding of the elevator door interrupts your musings, an assistant directing you to Tim Drake’s office.

As you walk over, you can't help but listen in to some shouting coming from the room.

A younger voice is yelling. “Give me them! You do not deser-” The voice gets cut off, as an older voice yells back. “It is my turn, you do not get to just steal them!”

The younger voice starts up again, but so does the older voice, alongside what you can only presume to be fighting noises.

You just kinda stare at the door. You are a working professional, representing your company to the prestigious Wayne Enterprises. You came here with lofty expectations and responsibilities to fulfill. And the CEO… is fighting someone in his office.

You have no idea what to do.

A minute passes.

You started to think about signaling an assistant to come help, but before you could do so the fighting seemed to end with a shouted “Fine! But B will hear about-” you can't hear the rest, as the shouting returns to a normal volume.

A door is opened and slammed, footsteps retreating away from the office. You take a moment to appreciate the fact that Tim Drake’s office has two doors that lead in different places, because it means you didn't have to meet whoever he was fighting.

A second or two later, the door in front of you swings open. Tim Drake is facing you, his hair a little askew, and his cheeks a little red. He smiles, an easy thing. It's as if the sight of you brought it to his face.

“Welcome!” He waves you in, somehow not acknowledging what you just heard in any form. The objects in his office are perfectly aligned. Nothing looks disturbed at all. How?

He waves you over to a chair, settling into one himself.

“Well.” He begins. “It's nice to see you again, Y/n."

You hope this goes by quickly.

SHE CHOSE ME , JOE BURROW.

“the most beautiful girl that i’d ever seen and she chose me.”

◦pairing: !bengals¡joe x !nurse¡reader

◦summary: friends to lovers, childhood friendship, first love, athlete x nurse.

◦description: after joe and y/n met at the hospital ER, the “first date” day has arrived.

◦n/a: 1. this is kind of a part two from Easily! 2. you can access joe x nurse at the # ▮ !bengals¡joe burrow x !nurse¡ reader ▮

I clipped the second earring into place, then leaned back slightly to look at myself in the mirror.

It was one of those little gold hoops I barely wore anymore—simple, elegant, and just understated enough to not look like I was trying too hard. Which was ironic, because I’d already changed my outfit three times and curled my hair twice, only to settle on letting it fall in loose waves the way it always did when I didn’t overthink it.

The soft hum of music played from the speaker in the corner of my bedroom, something low and slow that made the room feel like a movie scene. Outside, the sun was setting, streaking the sky with deep purples and oranges, casting the first shadows of evening across the walls. And inside, I was still trying to calm the fluttering in my chest.

A date. With Joe Burrow.

After all these years, after the hospital, the kiss, the way he’d looked at me when he said he didn’t want to let me slip away again—here I was, standing in front of my mirror, feeling like I was sixteen again and he’d just smiled at me across the school cafeteria.

But this wasn’t high school. This was real. Grown-up. And somehow even more terrifying.

I smoothed my hands down the front of my dress—navy blue, soft and silky, the kind that moved when I walked—and forced myself to take a breath. My heart was racing like I was about to walk into a job interview or jump out of a plane.

He was picking me up at seven. I glanced at my phone: 6:42. Great.

My stomach flipped again as I reached for my perfume, giving myself a quick spritz behind the ears, then grabbed my purse and took one last look in the mirror. I looked… fine. Maybe more than fine, actually. The butterflies in my stomach refused to settle, but I reminded myself that this wasn’t just any guy. This was Joe. The kid who used to steal my fries and challenge me to see who could hold their breath longer underwater. The boy who turned into a man overnight, who stood in front of me in a hospital gown and kissed me like we were starting something important.

A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.

I froze.

He was here.

I stepped out of my bedroom and crossed the small hallway, heart in my throat. When I opened the door, there he was.

God help me.

He looked good.

Not just “famous football player” good—but good in a way that felt completely unfair to the rest of the male population. He wore a fitted charcoal sweater with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows, a watch glinting on his wrist, and dark jeans that made him look annoyingly perfect. His hair was still a little tousled, like he’d run his hands through it a few times before picking me up.

And then he smiled.

His eyes swept over me. “Wow.”

I laughed nervously, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. “Hey.”

“You look… beautiful,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck like he couldn’t believe he’d said it out loud.

“And you look better than the last time I saw you,” I teased, motioning to his healed-up face.

He grinned. “Yeah, hospital gowns don’t exactly scream charm.”

“Come in for a second?” I asked, stepping back to let him into the entryway.

Joe nodded, and as he walked past me, I caught that faint scent of him—clean, warm, a little bit like cedarwood and something else I couldn’t name. I closed the door behind him, suddenly hyper-aware of how small my apartment felt now that he was inside it.

“So,” he said, glancing around and then back at me, “ready for that date?”

“As I’ll ever be,” I said, grabbing my coat and slipping it over my shoulders. “Where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise,” he said with a mischievous glint in his eye.

“You’re not gonna tell me?”

“Nope.”

“Not even a hint?”

“Dress was the hint. You nailed it.”

I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop the smile pulling at my lips. “Fine. Lead the way, Burrow.”

[...]

His car was warm, the dashboard glowing softly in the fading light, and the drive was quiet at first, comfortable. We listened to music for a while, the kind of mellow stuff you’d hear on late-night road trips, and then he started talking—telling me about his nephews, how the game with them had gone sideways fast, how they’d made him play wide receiver even though he was clearly a quarterback.

“They ganged up on me,” he said, laughing as we pulled off the freeway. “One of them said, ‘Uncle Joe, you’re not even fast.’ I had no choice but to prove them wrong.”

“And ended up in my ER,” I reminded him with a pointed look.

“Worth it,” he said without missing a beat, and when I looked over, he was watching me with a soft smile, like maybe he wasn’t talking about the game anymore.

I felt my breath hitch, but then he turned into a narrow road flanked by trees, and I realized where we were going.

“No way,” I whispered as the headlights illuminated the edge of the place.

“Yeah,” he said. “Thought it might feel familiar.”

The restaurant was tucked into a quiet street downtown, one of those places with warm lighting, vintage brick walls, and the low hum of conversation that made you want to stay forever. It was cozy but elegant, and the second we stepped in, the hostess gave Joe a look that made me want to roll my eyes. But he didn’t seem to notice—or maybe he just didn’t care.

He kept his hand gently at my back as we followed her to a table near the window, and once we were seated, he leaned across the table just a little, eyes scanning mine.

“Nervous?” he asked.

I smiled. “A little.”

“Me too,” he said softly. “But… in a good way.”

There was a pause, the air between us warming with unspoken memories.

“I can’t believe we’re here,” I said, glancing around. “This feels surreal.”

“I’ve thought about this more times than I’ll admit,” he murmured, his fingers brushing against the edge of his water glass. “Not this restaurant, specifically. Just… you. Us. Getting a second shot.”

Something tugged at my heart.

“You really thought about it that much?” I asked, voice quiet.

He leaned back slightly, looking out the window before turning back to me.

“You were the first person who ever saw me—not the quarterback, not the athlete. Just... me. Back when I was awkward and pale and had that dumb bowl haircut.”

I laughed. “It was pretty bad.”

“I know,” he grinned. “But you still wanted to hang out with me.”

I bit my lip, feeling the honesty of the moment settle between us.

“You were easy to be around,” I said. “You still are."

Joe watched me from across the table, his hand still loosely wrapped around his water glass, the dim lighting from the candles casting soft shadows on his face. There was something calm about him tonight—different from the way he carried himself last night at the hospital. Less guarded. More open. Or maybe I was just seeing him for real now, without the adrenaline of an emergency room night shift in the way.

“So…” he began, swirling the ice in his glass. “How did you end up working nights at the hospital? You always wanted to do that?”

I tilted my head. “The night shift? Definitely not. But nursing, yeah. Always. I liked the idea of being the calm voice in chaos. Of showing up when people are at their worst and making it… a little less terrible.”

Joe smiled like he wasn’t surprised. “That sounds like you.”

“Yeah?”

He nodded. “You were always the one dragging me off the ground when I scraped my knees playing tag. And yelling at me when I refused to let someone else win at Mario Kart.”

I laughed. “You were insufferable about winning.”

“I still am,” he said, grinning. “But only in games. Real life’s a little harder to dominate.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Funny, coming from the guy who’s won a Heisman.”

Joe shrugged. “I’ve won a lot. Doesn’t mean it was easy. Or fun, all the time.”

There was a flicker of honesty in his eyes, something deeper, heavier.

“What’s it like?” I asked softly. “Being… you. Famous. Always being watched.”

He exhaled, leaning back into the booth. “It’s weird. You get used to it, kind of. But it’s also lonely. I think people think you stop being human when your face ends up on a billboard.”

I rested my chin on my hand, watching him. “That sounds exhausting.”

“It is. You’re constantly expected to perform. On and off the field. Smile, pose, shake hands, give the right quote. But sometimes you just want to be...”

“Joe.”

“Exactly.”

I hesitated, then asked, “Do you ever regret it? The path you took?”

His eyes lingered on mine. “Not the path. But maybe the people I lost along the way.”

Something in my chest tightened.

“You mean... me?”

He didn’t look away. “Yeah. I mean you.”

There was a silence, long but not uncomfortable. I let it wash over us before speaking again.

“I always wondered why we drifted,” I admitted quietly. “I mean, I know life happens. But part of me thought... I don’t know. That you just forgot.”

Joe shook his head. “Never. I thought about you all the time. Especially at night. When things got hard. I’d think about those summers in your backyard, or the time we skipped class and built that fort in your living room.”

“Oh my God,” I laughed, covering my face. “We got grounded for a week.”

“Totally worth it,” he said. Then added, softer, “You were my first everything, you know?”

I blinked. “Everything?”

Joe leaned in slightly. “Yeah. First best friend. First person I told about my nightmares. First girl I held hands with. First time I realized what love actually felt like.”

The words hit me like a wave.

“I was your first love?” I asked, barely above a whisper.

He nodded. “I told you about it... I was Fourteen. I remember it exactly. We were lying in the grass after biking around your neighborhood all afternoon, and you had that awful cherry Popsicle melting all over your hand. You looked over and told me that the sky was your favorite color that day, and I swear to God, I fell right then.”

I covered my mouth, stunned. “You never told me that.”

“I didn’t know how,” he said. “And then everything got… fast. Football took over. Recruiting trips. Camps. And by the time I figured it out, we were already living separate lives.”

I stared at him, heart racing, feeling all those memories flood back—him sleeping on my couch during sleepovers, passing notes in class, daring each other to jump into freezing cold lakes, building a bond that never quite frayed, even when it disappeared for a while.

“Joe,” I whispered. “I think I might’ve loved you too. Back then. I just didn’t know what to call it.”

He reached across the table, slowly, like he was asking permission. I placed my hand in his before he even had to.

“I'm happy that we met again,” he said, thumb brushing against mine. “So... I’m gonna ask, and you can say no if this feels too fast, but—I want to take you out again. Properly. As many times as it takes for us to find what we missed.”

I smiled, unable to hide how warm I felt inside. “You already found it.”

[...]

We stepped out of the restaurant into the quiet hum of the city night.

It was late—later than I realized—and the streets were nearly empty, save for the occasional car rolling by or the distant echo of laughter spilling out from a bar down the block.

Joe was walking just behind me, his hand grazing the small of my back as we made our way toward where his SUV was parked. The air had cooled, and I instinctively folded my arms against the breeze.

Without a word, he slipped off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders, the fabric still warm from his body.

“You’re cold,” he said simply, his voice low in the stillness.

“Just a little,” I replied, looking over at him. “You didn’t have to—”

“I wanted to.”

That soft tone again. Gentle, sincere.

I paused, the city light catching on the curve of his jaw as he looked at me like he was memorizing something.

The moment stretched—quiet and charged.

“Tonight was…” I started.

“Yeah,” he said, nodding. “It really was.”

Then, almost bashfully, “I was nervous, you know. Coming tonight.”

I smiled. “You didn’t seem nervous.”

“I was. I didn’t want to screw this up.”

“You didn’t.”

The sidewalk was glowing faintly under the warm orange of the streetlights, and everything around us slowed again. Just the two of us in this little pocket of silence.

Joe stepped closer, his hand reaching for mine as I stood in front of the open door. “Can I—?”

I didn’t wait.

I leaned in, catching his mouth with mine in a kiss that was softer than the night air, warmer than the jacket he’d just given me. His hands gripped my waist gently, pulling me just enough that I had to lean into him, into the feeling I hadn’t let myself fully acknowledge until now.

Joe just pressed his forehead against mine, his hand still resting gently at my waist. I could feel his breath—warm, steady—and for the first time all night, I stopped thinking. About the years we lost, about what this might mean, about whether it was too fast or too much. None of that mattered when his eyes were this close to mine.

“I thought maybe I imagined you,” I whispered, because the words were there, rising up like a truth I hadn’t even known I’d been holding in. “That night at the hospital. That whole thing.”

He pulled back just enough to look at me, brows knit. “You didn’t.”

“I know,” I said, smiling softly. “Now I know. But I’d convinced myself I made it bigger than it really was. That maybe I just wanted it to mean something.”

Joe shook his head, thumb grazing the side of my face. “It meant something to me.”

I felt my throat tighten again, this time not from nerves or anticipation, but from something deeper. The kind of ache that comes from realizing someone had missed you too, all along.

“I’ve thought about this,” he said, voice low, like he didn’t want the night to overhear. “Us. Sitting somewhere quiet. You looking at me like this. It’s wild, how life pulls people apart and then… puts them right back in front of you.”

I blinked up at him, heart completely undone. “What happens now?”

His lips curled into a small smile. “Well, I walk you to the car like a gentleman. Try not to fall in love with you too fast. Probably fail.”

That made me laugh, but it caught in my chest, delicate and unexpected.

We stood together, reluctant to break the moment, and when I finally stepped away, his hand trailed down my arm before letting go.

The walk back to the car was quiet in that comfortable, end-of-the-night way.

The city around us had dimmed a little more, grown stiller, and the cool air carried the scent of rain that hadn’t yet come.

“I’ve got a heater in the car,” he said as he opened the passenger door for me, “but I like the chivalry points.”

“Oh, definitely adding those to your scorecard,” I teased as I turned to sit down in the SUV.

But my ankle wobbled slightly on the uneven sidewalk, and without hesitation, he stepped closer, one hand on my waist, the other guiding me gently by the elbow.

“I’ve got you,” he murmured.

It was instinctual, the way his hands found me. Not possessive, not performative. Just natural. Like they belonged there.

I looked up at him, and the smile faded from both our faces—not because anything was wrong, but because the moment shifted. Slowed. Softened.

Joe tilted his head slightly, eyes searching mine.

“You okay?” he asked.

I nodded. “Yeah.”

“You sure?”

I hesitated, then reached up, my fingers gently touching the collar of his shirt. “I think I’m more than okay.”

That was when it happened. When the space between us collapsed.

He kissed me again—this time with more certainty, more heat beneath it. I felt his hands grip the sides of my waist like he didn’t want to let go, and I reached up to cup his jaw, feeling the slight scratch of stubble under my fingers. The world blurred a little—nothing but us and the night, and the press of his body against mine, solid and warm.

When we finally broke apart, I leaned my forehead against his chest, laughing breathlessly.

“This is surreal,” I whispered.

“Yeah,” he said, arms still around me. “But it’s real.”

I nodded against him. “Thank you. For tonight.”

He pulled back just enough to look at me again. “This is just the beginning.”

I smiled. “So what’s next?”

“I pick you up for another date. We find out all the little things we missed about each other. You tell me all your secrets, and I tell you mine.”

“Oh yeah?” I teased. “Like what?”

“Like…” he leaned in closer, brushing his nose against mine, “how I used to write your name on my cleats with a sharpie before games.”

I pulled back in disbelief. “You did not.”

“Swear to God.”

“That’s… weirdly adorable.”

“Only for the really important games,” he added with a wink.

I couldn’t stop smiling as I slid into the passenger seat. He closed the door for me gently, walked around to the driver’s side, and got in.

We sat there for a second, both looking straight ahead, neither of us ready to end the night.

But then he reached over and took my hand again.

Just held it. Quietly. Like he had all the time in the world.

And I sat there, in the passenger seat of Joe Burrow’s black SUV, his jacket around my shoulders, his fingers laced with mine, and thought:

Yeah.

I wasn’t going to miss it this time.

Is it that sweet? I guess so~

Haikyuu boys as lyrics from "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter part 1 | part 2 ft. miya atsumu, kuroo tetsuro, semi eita

I can’t relate, to desperation (miya atsumu)

Being the MSBY social media manager means work- especially when it comes to Miya Atsumu. It seems like every other week he gets himself. caught up in controversy. Whether it be him being too touchy with an already-married older actress, or even being spotted on dates with multiple female idols. It’s your job to defend his already poor internet reputation.

“Y/n~ c’mon now, one date is all I'm askin’! Throw me a bone here!” He pleads for the 5th time today. He was sure to be persistent after the many rejections before.

“Miya, how many times do I have to tell you no?” You sigh as you reject him once more to add onto the tally of 56 rejections over the course of a year.

Sure he was attractive, what normal person would say no to a 6’1” professional volleyball player? Sadly you know firsthand about his player activities. You understand it though, a young early twenties male is bound to act like this. though the severity of actions vary on a case-to-case basis; he happens to be on the far end of the spectrum.

“Besides, it’s unprofessional to have a relationship between the two of us. I’m your manager.” You explain to him hoping finally you’d be able to get the message through his thick skull.

“Professional or not, who cares! give me a chance to prove myself! C’mon I've been good recently, no contreveries!” He explains trying to persuade your thoughts.

“If you call being spotted with a married woman in a fancy restaurant ‘good behaviour’, I don’t know what to tell you.” You frown as you avert your eyes from him, back to your laptop, typing out a public apology for Atsumu’s recent events.

With a frown, he steps forward and closes your laptop whilst leaning over your desk. His figure obviously towering over your sitting self.

“Enough of that, It wouldn’t be the same as those famous women who only want me to have an affair. It’s different with you.” He explains with sincerity as if this time he actually means what he says.

You look up at him with a smirk and now with crossing arms, leaning back on your office chair. “Oh really? Maybe when you give me an easier time with your little affairs, I’ll consider it.”

That's when his face lights up and puts on a stupid grin and leans in closer to your ear. i’m

“Oh you bet.” He whispers seductively in your ear before pulling away and walking to the door of the office.

“Well, see ya around Y/n, ya better hold up yer end of this.” He tells you before walking out of your office.

God this man. He's so… desperate for attention!

and I got this one boy, he won’t stop calling (kuroo tetsuro)

42 missed calls. Are you fucking kidding me? You had met this hot guy today at the cafe you work at, he was a tall man in a business suit, kind of built as you could see some of his triceps through the dress shirt, a really classy guy overall, though odd his hair didn’t match the aesthetic. You left your number on his cup just for the slight off chance he wasn’t in a relationship. Clearly, he’s not in one.

You decided to call him back, afterall you were busy with the cafe with the 8 hour shift you had just worked. Now lying on your stomach first, your leg hanging off the bed, you hit the call button.

“Hello?” a male voice says after only one ring.

“Uhm, Hi. You left 42 calls on my phone.” You informed him as if he wasn’t already aware of what he did.

“Oh yeah, I did do that~” He teases through the phone. “So what’s your name, coffee girl?”

“It’s L/N Y/N, and you?” You ask with a semi-interested tone returning the energy of his voice.

“I’m Kuroo Tetsuro. Y/n is a pretty name ya know” He flirts through the phone.

You can just imagine his silly smirk, the same exact one as when he saw the cafe when he read your number, and then the “call me <3” written under it.

“So I take it you’re not taken as you’re calling me” You suggest as you twirl your hair and kick your legs, god you feel like a teenage girl.

“Nah, I’m not taken. Haven’t really had a girlfriend before, closest was talking stages.” he explains you hear the ruffling of papers in the background.

So that explains the 42 calls. Takes a man's guts to admit that.

“You don’t exactly know what you’re doing, don’t you~” You tease as you hear a sigh from the end of the phone.

“Well no- I do know what I’m doing! Just I wanted to get to know you- soon!” He fumbles words trying to explain himself which brings a laugh out of you.

“Suuuure…”

There’s now a long awkward pause in the conversation. In which both of you don’t exactly know what to ask each other next.

“Soo- Are you a full-time worker at that cafe?” He suddenly asks, speaking up to fill the silence.

“Well no, I’m still in college. I’m going there for an English degree. How about you? You seem like you got a pretty good job.” You explain, then follow up with a question about himself.

“Well darling, I’m a sports promoter, specifically for volleyball. I work for the Japanese Volleyball Association.” He informs you with a proud tone.

This does pique your interest, not every day do you meet a guy who works for a sporting association who happens to walk inside a hole-in-the-wall café.

“Well shit, that's cool! Did you play in high school or something?” You ask now, flipping over onto your back to a more comfortable position.

“I did- made it to nationals during my last year.” He answers with a cocky tone. There is more shuffling of papers in the background, maybe he’s still at work-

“Kuroo! We need the papers finalised by tonight!” A voice from the background of his end says with a very demanding tone. Causing him to groan into the phone.

“Well you certainly heard my boss…” He sighs. “Call you back cutie. We still need to finalise our date.” He tells you before hanging up the phone not even leaving time for you to respond to his statement.

“huh…? DATE?” You shout to the void that is your room.

Man, this guy is confident. Both him personally, and you being too willing to give this man a chance. You know one thing though. You’re definitely going to come back to 42 calls again.

I'm working late bc I’m a singer (semi eita)

Oh, Semi Eita, the lead singer and guitarist of his little band. The foundation of what his band is about all stems from him. His rock style is unique, flashy if you call it. He always felt the need to stand out from others. You know that best as his significant other. Since high school, he’s always been a show-off or tried to be. Because of his show-off nature, he was benched on the volleyball team in his 3rd year.

Now here he is, slumped over on his office desk at one in the damn morning, struggling to come up with meaning to his new song.

“You know, Eita, This song must really got you stumped. You haven’t stayed up writing this late in forever.” You smirk leaning on the doorframe to his office. You both know that you’re right.

Eita usually has a set schedule; sleeps at 11 pm, unlike his teen days when he’ll pull all-nighters for fun. He sighs and turns his office chair around.

“Well, I guess you can say that.” He replies as he tiredly smiles at you.

You walk over to his desk, the wood planks creek in the silence of night, and lean over his shoulder to look at the song.

“So what’s this song about?” You ask him while reading the lyrics.

“A boy who fell in love with a girl and sees her with rose-tinted glasses.” He explains as he taps the pen on the paper every few seconds, clearly in thought.

“Well is she a good person, or a bad person.” You ask, sitting yourself at the corner of his desk.

He sits at his desk long in thought. “That’s the thing. I don’t really know.” He admits and he runs a hand through his hair, the other hand twirling the pen around.

“Well when you think of this girl, who do you think of?” You ask him whilst playing with the drawer of his desk that sits above you.

as he sits there in thought, an idea suddenly pops into his head. There is one girl in particular that comes into his head.

“I think of you.” He lets out with a grin as he ruffles your hair, causing you to let put a laugh

“Me, huh? You really love me that much huh..?” You grin in response to his actions, with a proud tone of voice.

“I guess I do huh?” He smiles at your proud self. “I’ll write about you being the girl who I view in rose-tinted glasses,” He says as she writes down his ideas on the paper, making light scribble noises.

That's just when you get up and try dragging him away from the desk.

“You know its bed time right?” You tease and you put him in a headlock and ruffle his hair.

“I’ll be there soon! Just, let me finish noting these ideas down!” He protests and he doesn’t look away from the page despite what you’re doing to him.

You sigh in response and let go of him. Walking to the door in the process.

“Don’t stay up too late. We both know how grumpy you get without your beauty sleep.” You tell him in response to his protests. Finding a good opportunity to tease him in the process.

As you walk out of the room, all you can hear is a grumble in response. All for the fact he knows you’re right.

e-42!Miles Morales headcanons (fluff) ㅡ

Okay, so, I've seen a lot of people headcanon that Miles is going to buy you anything and everything you even look at

but while that's fine because they're headcanons, let me remind you the boy is 16. He's not gonna be walking into Gucci and buying everything off the displays like a webtoon.

That being said, if he has a little extra cash he'll most likely spend it on you.

I'm talking little meaningful things though. Flowers, books, little trinkets that reminded him of you and such,

if your hobby needs supplies, he'll discreetly scan your stock when he's over and get you a refill of whatever you're low on.

He also cherishes whatever you gift to him and refuses to throw anything from you away.

Like once, you got the both of you matching shoes. They've been his favorite pair ever since.

And also dates.

Dates are a little rare between the two of you ngl, because 1) New York is literally Gotham atp, and 2) being the Prowler takes up a lot of time.

so you mostly hang out at each other's places as a substitute.

But when you do go out, Miles will plan everything down to a T

because let's face it, he tries to act cool but boy is nervous

You're the first person that isn't family he's actually opened up to. He doesn't want you to have a single bad experience with him.

But even if your dates go sideways, either one or both of you always find a way to make it better :)

At the start of your relationship, he's not too big on PDA.

but as it progresses, he starts getting more comfortable about stuff like holding hands or chaste kisses in public.

Once he's completely sure of himself and the two of you, he's always touching you in some way;

linking pinkies, holding hands, hand/arm around your waist, etc.

Never, I repeat never in front of Uncle Aaron though.

It's not that he's embarrassed of you or anything, but his uncle will definitely tease the living hell out of him

Speaking of Uncle Aaron, he likes you.

The first time he heard about you was a week or two after he taught Miles the Shoulder Touch™

Keep in mind, this is before Miles's dad passed away and all that,

so the boy was awkward.

When he tried it out on you, you couldn't help laughing, just a tiny bit.

Then he made the mistake of telling his uncle, who made it so much worse

"Can you please stop laughing? I'm being serious!"

"I'm sorry man–"

"No you're not 😒"

Back to physical affection, Miles is a sucker for any that you give him.

hugs, cuddles, kisses, you name it.

He will literally melt into your arms.

He'll try to deny it at first but it isn't fooling anyone, so at one point he just gives up the tough guy act when it's just the two of you.

Forehead/top of the head kisses? PLEASE PLEASE P L E A S E

he needs some soft affection.

He is down bad.

You get back hugs. all the time. extra when he's sleepy.

he will literally penguin walk you everywhere.

A lot of times he'll put his head on your chest and hear your heartbeat to remind himself you're still there and his. Especially when 'work' was hard.

Speaking of, he also told you he's the Prowler.

Of course, he tried to delay it as much as he could, but once the two of you were absolutely stable he felt wrong keeping it a secret.

Especially when he had to bail on plans for some inpromptu work thing and couldn't give you a reason why.

You'd kinda put two and two together at that point, but it was nice to hear him actually tell you.

After Miles comes clean though, his protective tendancies will double.

He isn't controlling or smothering, but he has some strong feelings against you walking in the streets alone after dark and such.

And they only get stronger after he tells you what he does. If something happened to you because you knew, he'd never forgive himslelf.

So he takes precautions. Whenever he drops by your place after work, he always changes first so that no one sees the Prowler frequent some random apartment.

he'll never let you anywhere near his job. You don't need to watch all that nasty shit.

and so on, so forth.

He's also a big whiner. He will drag his words out to the ends of the earth if he has to.

"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa–"

"Miles, my paper's due in two days."

"Finish it tomorrow then. Necesito sostenerte, hermosa."

"...Fine."

Mrs. Morales also loves you. You're basically her daughter in law already.

Which is great!

Until she starts showing you the baby pictures.

"Miles had the cutest little face–"

"Má, please–"

She loves having you around and will let you stay the night whenever (as long as the door's cracked open).

You're invited to every single family event courtesy of Rio.

Miles will try to participate in anything you're interested in.

you like doing makeup? put some on him pls.

he'll also watch youtube tutorials to learn how to do it himself and do it for you.

which doesn't work too well the first few times, but now he's a natural!

his first time doing your eyeliner though:

"Miles, you've been at it for like 10 minutes. Let me see!"

"..."

"Is that– is that a wing?"

"..."

"🏃‍♂️🚶‍♂️"

"No, no, it's nice– it's so nice–"

Rio almost died laughing.

If you like to draw, he'll take you on grafitti dates !

But if you're nervous about that, then he'll just sit and draw with you or something.

don't look at his paper, he's drawing you and will be very flustered (he'll try to play it cool but blushing isn't rly something he can control)

so yea look at his paper

If you're part of a fandom, he'll study everything he can find on it so that he can understand what you're talking about.

He'll most likely like it too, and you guys could spend hours talking about it if you want.

but if he's not that into it, he'll just sit and listen contently to you talk about it with the stupidest smile on his face like :]

He has the softest spot for you even a blind person could see it.

He just loves you so much pls love him back

probably do a pt.2 soon
