i think a happy ending could have happened if sayu bullied light more. attends the To-Oh entrance ceremony and sees light talking to L -- omg bro you finally met your equal better take him home for dinner i need more data on how genius minds work. calls him during the post-tennis cafe date and congratulates broski on finally letting himself get some. nosy-siblings her way into shit and somehow convinces L that seducing light is the most reasonable path forward for the purpose of teasing the shit out of her brother. sayu takes one look at the handcuffs and the second light sees her face he's fighting the urge to throw himself (and L) out a window. steals the watch at some point and just. fucking wears it somewhere light cant call her out without stooping to her level of childishness.
i want the younger sibling to have more power in the narrative basically. you probably know who i am
are you my younger sibling? bc if you are, you’re wrong and sayu deserves nothing more than what she was given.
But if you’re not my sibling, I completely agree with you, Anon!
As an Older Sibling Who Went Through Major Angst™️ myself, the only thing that could probably stop me from committing Truly Heinous Acts is if my sibling ridiculed me for it.
Like Sayu saying at the dinner table that the whole Kira situation is scary? Light hangs his head internally and sighs because she doesn’t understand, she’s too young and naive, the sacrifices he makes- blah blah blah.
If Sayu was like, “I looked it up, and Kira’s a girl’s name in the west. So girlboss.” ??? I think Light would feel emasculated and embarrassed enough to have second thoughts, and Sibling would pick up on the vibe just enough to continue making fun.
I also think Sayu is probably like “Damn, oniichan’s really stressed about Kira. If I continually annoy him by making dumb jokes, maybe he’ll feel better about the whole situation.”
While Light is just “This kid is more clever than I give her credit for. Her remarks are brutal. I must never let her try stand-up comedy, I would lose every last one of my followers.”
#can you tell that all i want ever is Yagami Sibling Drama#i have so much faith in my sibling’s abilities#im the better one and theyre the one that can kick my ass :)#therefore we are the yagami kids but with a happier ending hopefully#M- if i ever pick up a death note i’ll share it w you#hc#light#sayu yagami#death note#head canon#ask

jungkook; ready to love (you, officially)
❝you asked: “what happens when i want to be more than friends?” / jungkook said, when that day comes, you grab him by the face and kiss the life out of him. that day came. ►2440 words // scenario, continuation of ‘when you’re ready to love’ written for @astaegmatism ♡ well, i read this the other day and ya know, i just felt like writing a sequel to this so here it goes *finger guns* // i actually finished it lol, here it is if anyone wants to read! ;w;
Ever since that day at the rooftop with Jungkook, not a day goes by since that you haven’t thought about that incident. It replays at random moments without you knowing. Well, maybe subconsciously you’re constantly thinking about it but that’s not fair. How are you supposed to control something you’re not meant to?
Maybe you deserve it, you think to yourself. Jungkook has made it clear that he’s interested in you and it’s not like you’re not interested in him. You are! Saying that you’re interested in him would be an understatement and yet... it’s been three months and you haven’t made up your mind.
What confuses you even more?
It’s how Jungkook doesn’t pressure you into anything. Sure, he teases you every now and then but you know he’s not genuinely pressing or rushing you for an answer or a change of heart. He’s... gentle, with the way he handles the conversation when you bring it up (because it gets overwhelming when you think about it at night and Jungkook-)
“...you’ve gone pretty quiet, Y/N,” Jungkook muses over the phone and you now remember that you were on a phone call with the guy. There’s no point hiding it, because Jungkook can tell how you’re feeling (sometimes) just by hearing your breathing pattern. How it starts to tremble with each exhale, unknowingly Jungkook has learnt it meant you were anxious about something.
“Y-Yeah, I’m just... thinking,” Your voice is shaking and you’re certain your hands would be too if you were holding your phone to your ear but luckily, you’re lying on the bed and your phone is on speaker beside your ear. Almost, you feel like it would be nice if he was laying here with you. And just at that thought, it makes you wonder if... if you’re finally ready to be more than just friends with the boy who upon first meeting, squished a portion of cake to your cheeks as a friendly way of trying to call you sweet. (don’t remind Jungkook, he still feels bad at almost traumatizing you when you first met)
“About?”
Here comes one of the many things Jungkook adores about you. Straight to the point, no sugar-coating and no bush in sight to beat around. Well, it’s usually polar opposites. Either you would beat the bush to death and the generations after that, or you go straight to the point and snap the leaf to write your answer directly.
“...you,”
This was the latter.
"What about me?” Jungkook tries to sound collected, but based on how his voice pitches, you can tell he’s getting nervous.
“I... I’m just confused. I know I really like you,”—Jungkook���s heart skip a beat—“but a part of me still feels like I’m not ready and I feel bad because I don’t want you to keep wait-”
"You’re not keeping me waiting, Y/N,” Jungkook cuts you off before you spiral off into a monologue that doesn’t need to happen, which is why he’s cutting you off now. (He usually waits to hear you out but he’s skipping past that because he’s heard this before so he might as well reassure you now)
He hears a gasp because you’re surprised, and he knows you are but you keep silent to hear his train of thought.
“I’m simply in love with you and... I can feel that you feel the same way too. If the day comes when you’re ready to reciprocate that openly, I’m more than willing to be with you. It’s not like things would change between us, we’re just going to get mushier—is mushier a word? Ah, whatever,”
There’s a small pause of silence, it evokes Jungkook to ask: “You there?”
“...how is that not waiting for me, Jeon?”
He chuckles at the confusion in your voice. He has this image of you furrowing your brows and having puffed up cheeks from being confused.
Here you lie in bed, with furrowed brows and puffed cheeks.
“Because I know I’m already in your heart, it’s just going to take some time before you get comfortable with me being there, and hopefully accept that… or not, that’s all up to you,”
“How do you know you’re in my heart?”
“Do you really want me to answer that?”
“N-Nope, ’m good.”
Jungkook didn’t know if he helped you or not that night, but based on how you didn’t say anything to combat that, he finds comfort in knowing at least he’s somewhat right.
You slept with ease that night.
//
The days after that have been... more confusing than you thought. It confused you so much that the more you thought about it, the more it pissed you off. What the fuck is going on?
Trudging out of bed, you find yourself standing in front of your reflection. Next to it is a photo of you and Jungkook, not even aware that a friend was capturing a moment the two of you shared. The longer you stared at it, the more it reminded you of why you were mad in the first place.
Mad at… yourself!
With a newfound confidence that struck out of nowhere, it was time.
Fucking hell was it time.
You can’t handle it any longer and you’re done trying to make up your mind or settle for an answer that leaves you wavering the next day.
It was time to observe.
To be Detective Conan—alright screw Jungkook’s references.
//
You spent a week keeping your distance from Jungkook.
Okay, that sounds serious but by keeping your distance, it was rather… taking note of how your mind reacted around him. Of course, it was easier said than done when the boy is constantly trying to be close to you, pick at your brain, “casually” hold your bag for you and running off so you’d chase him up to the rooftop where you’d conveniently waste two hours of staring at the abyss of the world alongside him.
Boy oh boy did you take mental notes, and when you typed them out for yourself to read through at the end of the week, it was clear that—“That piece of shit…”
For two weeks, you had wrote down thoughts you’ve had of him and let’s just say… they accumulated to more than your notepad on your phone could handle because you’re scrolling, and scrolling and scrolling. As you go through them, the recollection flashes in your mind, playing like a projector.
Jeon likes to drink Americano from this café.
He bought the bouquet of flowers for graduation from this florist.
We got caught in the rain and was stuck in that phonebooth for an hour because we’re both too stubborn to get out.
Jeon’s fave café.
Jeon’s fave park to go jogging.
Jeon—
The list continues, listing all the details about him and more details about him that… strangely enough, you’ve never noticed you remembered. And… the more you seem to remember, the more… memories you want to create with him. It hits you why it’s… it’s taken you this long to realise your infatuation with him. Jungkook was that slow burn that made you love him more and more each day without you realizing. How you wanted to see him each day, and when a day goes by without seeing him, it aches for you to be without him.
Jungkook was right when he said he was already in your heart.
You didn’t know when, and you didn’t know how but… he was already there. He made his way through when you didn’t expect him to. He’s been patient and sincere with his presence and… the way he genuinely just wants what’s best for you. He… you… you like him.
You… fell in love with your best friend, too.
//
Jungkook smiles when he sees your name on his caller ID. He grips onto his phone properly to swipe across the screen, just to say: “What do I owe the pleasure, Y/N?”
“Jeon, wherever you are,” It sounds like you’re breathing really heavily, “Don’t move,”
His brows furrow, “Is everything alright? You good?”
“I’ll come to you!” You exclaim, and he’s laughing. “Do you know where I am?”
He snorts.
“Oh yeah,” Now it sounds like you’ve stopped walking when the soles of your shoes screech on the pavement ever so lightly, “Where are you by the way?”
//
“Jeon!” Your voice echoes across the field, penetrating straight into his ears as he whips around, only to grin like a fool. His eyes form mini crescents at the sight of you running up to him. He holds his arms out to stable you when you’re within reach. His hands grip onto your sides with a soft easy there tiger and when you’re grounded in front of him, trying to catch your breath, his smile only grows bigger.
“What’s up?”
Your fists clench by your sides, feeling your insides tumble about. Thousands of butterflies are probably somersaulting in there and the whole zoo has come to watch how your nerves jolt about in anticipation to what you’re about to do. You’ve had only this thought in your mind through your whole journey to reach him. Now that you’re finally in front of him, you’re trying to psyche yourself up.
Almost as if you’re trying to be your own hype man to… to…
“Hello? Earth to Miss—”
“I’m going to do something to you, Jeon,” You swallow the lump in your throat, and this is where Jungkook’s smile slowly fades. His face morphs into one of confusion instead.
“G-Good or bad?”
Okay, this is throwing you off a little.
“What’d you mean?”
“Well… what you’re going to do to me, is it good or bad? Do I need to cover up somewhere it really hurts?”
The both of you trail down to… his nether region where his hands slowly move to cover it (because there has been a history of you kicking him with not-so-ladylike strength that one time he took a prank too far and he owns up to say he deserves it—not that he’s done anything this time, he’s just being cautious).
“What? N-No!” You’re frustrated at this point, running your fingers through your hair in annoyance, but you know what? It’s working. Your nerves are worked up enough for you to gather the courage brewing in your guts that you close the distance between the pair of you.
Suddenly, it feels like the world slows down.
Your hands rest upon his shoulders and instinctively, Jungkook’s hands dart out to steady you by your waist, afraid you’d topple over and get hurt. His eyes widen when you lean in to press your lips together. Your name is muttered against your lips, drowned out by the gasp that follows soon after from him.
His hands, clutches onto you tight—as tight as your hands are on his shoulders. Jungkook’s eyes flutter shut, in unison with yours. Your body tenses when you don’t feel a reaction, and that gets you to peel your eyes open and break away from the kiss. That triggers him to act upon his feelings for once, after holding back for the longest time, this is the one-time Jungkook allows himself to do what he wants.
He snakes his arms around your waist to pull you closer, making your breath hitch. He chases for your lips and he kisses you back. He kisses you with everything he has in fear this could be the first, and last time it would happen. He feels his heart burst into warmth when your hands move to circle around his neck to pull him close, as if the both of you weren’t already. You feel his tongue brush against yours ever-so-delicately and the vibrations of his lips when your fingers rake through his hair.
He intends to continue, but you have yet to say what you’ve been wanting to that you gently nudge him back with a hand on his chest, the other still hooked around his shoulders.
“J-Jeon, I have something to say,” You’re a little breathless, disorganized, but altogether too beautiful for him to handle with your slightly red, plump lips and hazy eyes looking into his own. He chuckles and cups your chin gently, brushing your lower lip with his thumb as his other hand keeps you rooted.
“Yeah?”
“I… I like you,”
Jungkook chuckles, softly, almost whispering as he breathes out: “I like you too,”
He licks his lips and his eyes trail down to yours, before gazing back up to your eyes when he has a feeling there’s more you’re about to say. His thumb gently rubs circles against your hip bone, while his other hand that was previously on your chin, moves to join his other arm around your waist.
“And…” You heave out a deep breath, blinking up to him, “I-I want to be more than just friends,”
Jungkook knows where this is going, but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to have fun.
“So… best friends?”
Instantly your face turns upside down with frustration and Jungkook quickly pacifies you with a kiss. And a couple more pecks to bring a smile to your face, mirroring his own smile before he tugs you into his arms. His arms band around you so tight, it feels like he’s afraid you’ll slip away. He presses a small kiss to your temple, whispering, “You have no idea how much I’ve wanted to hear that,”
You’re grinning against his chest, arms wrapping around him just as tight.
“So… we’re…”
He strokes your head gently, closing his eyes to savor this moment.
“We’re still best friends,” He says, “Best friends who like each other a lot but this time,” You lean back a little, just to look up to him looking down on you,
“T-This time?” Your voice is soft, so soft that it’s only for his ears only. That alone, makes Jungkook’s heart do a lot of things in a heartbeat.
“This time, from this day onwards, you’re also my girlfriend.”
((“jeon…?”
“hm?” he turns his gaze from the sky the both of you have been laying under, gazing into your eyes as he plays with your hair.
“’m sorry it took me so long,”
he tuts with the shaking of his head, darting over to give you a long kiss to your lips.
“don’t be, don’t ever say that. it’s my fault for falling so quickly for you,” he wiggles his brows and you try to push him away, only for him to reel you in closer.))

A Lack of Color by SisterSpooky1013
2403 words / Rated M / Read it here on AO3
This is a Darkest Timeline fic. No fluff to be found.
Part of my Inspired By Songs series, this work is inspired by A Lack of Color by Deathcab for Cutie.
2010
The phone rang and she checked the time. She’d stopped answering his calls after 8, too heartbroken by the slur in his words and the pain in his voice, knowing that she was the one who caused them. If she could access the purely logical part of her mind she knew that it was his depression that was responsible for the fact that they could no longer be together, and his own actions after she left were the responsibility of no one but him, but when she heard the choked back sobs around his pleas for her to come home, she felt guilt so profound it twisted in her gut like a knife. Even her mother had gently questioned her as to whether leaving him alone was the right thing to do, whether that would really help him get better. She’d tried to explain that the point of leaving wasn’t to make him better, it was to save herself from going down with him, but she often wondered if this life she’d built for herself alone was much better than the one she’d left behind. Was coming home to an empty house devoid of the clatter of his keyboard and tiny piles of sunflower seed shells preferable to living with his ghost? At least when they shared a home she knew he was okay.
Home. Where was her home? Was it this impeccable, modern house just outside the city? Was it her mother’s house, where she’d spent her teenage years? Was it her apartment in Georgetown, long since occupied by someone new who would never know the depth of loss and joy that lived in its walls? Was it apartment 42, where she had loved, lost, and had Mulder returned to her? Was it the unremarkable home in the country she’d shared with him? These places all held meaning and memories, significance and importance in the story of her life, but in the end they were just buildings. Sticks and boards and concrete that housed each tear and yawn and laugh, that made space for her to fall apart and rebuild again, countless times. If home is where your heart is, then Mulder is her home, and he always will be. There is no distance great enough to separate her heart from his, even that of death or divorce, grief, pain, depression. Depression so profound that it snuffed out the spark in his eyes and drained the life from his smile. Depression that robbed him of his passion for everything, including her. Depression that made her feel invisible and unimportant. Depression that destroyed her home.
It was just past 7, so she picked up the phone, hoping that a sober voice would come through from the other end.
“Hello?”
“Hey. How are you?” He sounded good, like he had some energy. She was hopeful.
“I’m okay, just reading. How are you, Mulder?”
“I’m okay. Hanging in there.”
Silence hung between them. She didn’t know what to say. Didn’t want to ask him why he’d called or he may think she didn’t want to talk to him, so she said nothing. She heard him swallow on the other end of the line.
“I miss you” he breathed, and she could feel the ache forming in her rib cage. She closed her eyes.
“I know. I miss you too.” She fought to keep her voice neutral. She didn’t want to go to the dark place, not tonight.
“Will you come over?” He asked, and she noticed that he didn’t say ‘come home’ just ‘come over,’ which was different than all the other times. He sounded more alert, and she felt something akin to hope tug at her heart.
“Uh, I can, sure, if you need me to.”
“I do need you.” His voice was low and she felt a twinge between her legs. This wasn’t the voice of the Mulder she knew and loved, but she could hear him in there, underneath all the hopelessness. She flashed on the desire in his hooded eyes when he used to hover over her, devouring her body with animal-like urgency. What she wouldn’t give for him to touch her like that again.
“Okay, I’ll be there in about a half hour.”
He sighed, maybe from relief. “Thank you, see you soon.” The line went dead.
She had the urge to shower, to shave, to put on a pair of the sexy panties that were now relegated to the back of her underwear drawer, but she resisted. Too many nights she had paraded around in front of him only to be ignored. Too many times she had reached for him to find him unresponsive, not returning her embrace. Too many times she had slipped her hand into his boxers only to have him push it away, rejecting her advances. She squeezed her eyes shut tight, recalling the ache in her bones as she longed for physical contact. She had gone 7 years without having him in that way, but found that it wasn’t as easy to revert back to a platonic partnership. It was more than just desire, though that was there too. Their physical connection, once established, rooted her to the Earth in a way she never knew was possible. When he was inside her she was more present, more aware of her place in space and time than she had ever been or ever would be again. She hadn’t known that she wasn’t really alive until he breathed his hot, salty breath into her lungs and ignited her. He was her oxygen and without him, she suffocated and slowly faded away. She only barely escaped before she died out for good.
Settling on brushing her teeth as the sole means of preparation, she got in her car and drove to his house, their house, feeling nervous and afraid. Stopping to get out and open the gate at the end of their long driveway, she was reminded of so many nights coming home from work, wondering if today were a good day. If she’d get some shred of the man she loved, or spend the evening staring at his closed office door, eating dinner alone. Going to bed alone. Waking up alone.
“Quelquefois, on est seul chez les hommes;” The quote from Le Petit Prince had never meant so much to her as it did then.
Pulling up in front of the house, she took in the neglected lawn, the porch swing he’d built for her dilapidated, the steps rotting. The house itself seemed to embody their relationship; initially bare and full of potential, blooming into a safe haven with the care of their love, only to collapse under the weight of his demons. She killed the engine but stayed in the car, debating turning around and leaving. Why was she here? What did she stand to gain from answering his call? It was pure hope that drove her. Unrelenting need. As much as she tried she couldn’t give up on him, on them. Would she ever be able to truly walk away from him? Only time would tell. Today, it would seem, was not that day.
As she sat in her turmoil, she saw light escape the front door and his tall shadowy frame appeared, his silhouette gaunt, his hair wild and unkempt. Despite everything, her heart leapt and she felt drawn to him, her true North pulling her magnetically towards home. She exited the car and walked towards him slowly, trying to read his body language and set her expectations realistically. As she maneuvered the steps he came forward, holding out his hand to her.
“Those are getting a little perilous, I keep meaning to fix them” he joked good naturedly, the soft pads of his fingers brushing her palm. Not the hands of someone who was going to hold a hammer anytime soon, she noted. Not the calloused hands of the man who built this porch himself 7 years ago. They stood awash in the light that poured from the open door, hands still clasped. She searched his eyes and all she found was sadness, which was actually an improvement. The last time she’d had occasion to meet his hazel irises, they were empty, devoid of any feeling good or bad. He was gone entirely. Moving from his eyes, she noticed that his cheeks were ruddy and dry without her reminding him to moisturize. It looked like he’d probably shaved recently, though now it was grown into an almost-beard. His lips, though, they were still him. She bit her cheek to keep from crying, wanting more than anything to kiss that mouth, to tug that lip between her teeth. She closed her eyes.
“Thanks for coming over” he said, his voice flat.
“Of course. What did you need?” They’d done this dance before. Where’s my birth certificate? What’s the password for the online banking account? Where is the key to turn off the gas fireplace for the summer? When are you coming home? He always found a way to lure her back in. she could never resist him.
“I just wanted to see you” he replied, and she was surprised to see him roving his eyes over her body, sighing as they came to rest on her cleavage. When was the last time he’d looked at her that way? There was that throb again between her legs. She was afraid to move.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her shoulders in a hug, squeezing her to him. She stiffened at first in surprise, but then melted into him, her arms threading around his waist and her head falling against his chest. Home. He smelled metallic, the signature scent of his sweat. No one else smelled the way he did. It was what she imagined the core of the Earth might smell like. He sighed against her and she felt the rush of air from his nose blast against the crown of her head. What a specific feeling to miss. What a strange loss to understand.
His arms loosened and slid down her sides, grazing the dip of her waist, then her hip, and finally passing over the curve of her ass where he gripped her, lifting her up. She inhaled sharply and moved her hands to his shoulders, allowing him to carry her inside and to their abandoned bedroom like a bride, only this was the end of the romance instead of the beginning. He laid her down on the bed and started to suck at her neck while fumbling with the button of her pants. Her eyes were wide on the ceiling, wanting to stop him and ask what he was doing, what it meant, but she didn’t. Even as her mind raced, her body was opening like a flower, straining towards the sunlight of his touch, desperate for nourishment that had so long been withheld. She could feel that she was dripping wet, and she allowed him to strip her pants from her legs in one fast motion, pushing her shirt up to reveal her breasts as he unbuckled his belt. The animalistic way Mulder wanted her had always been a huge turn on, the lust in his eyes as he tore at her clothes and feasted on her body sending her over the edge.
But that was not what was happening now.
He wasn’t looking at her. He hadn’t kissed her, not once. He didn’t want her, he wanted her body. Freeing his erection from his jeans without even bothering to pull them down, he moved to line himself up with her entrance. He still had his T shirt on, her shirt askew as he grasped one breast in his palm, pushing inside her. She let out a single cry as her long-neglected body accommodated him once more, and he didn’t even look up. Didn’t ask if she was okay, hadn’t checked to see if she was ready. She could admit that it felt good, but not that good. This wasn’t how they made love, or had sex, or even fucked. Never once had he skipped right to pleasing himself. His strict “ladies first” policy was a non-negotiable, a given. So as he barreled into her, his eyes on her breasts, she brought her hand to cover her eyes as hot tears rushed down the sides of her face, collecting in her ears.
He finished within a minute, grunting as he came inside her before collapsing on her chest. Eventually he rolled off of her and pulled up his jeans, then grabbed her by the waist so that she was spooned against him, naked from the waist down.
“I’m sorry, I know that probably wasn’t the greatest for you. I’ll make it up to you next time” he whispered hotly into her ear. He held her until he fell asleep while she lie there, shell shocked, realizing that as bad as this all had been, it could get worse. She thought that being completely ignored was the worst way he could hurt her, but she was wrong. This, being treated like a vessel, was so much worse.
She slipped out of the bed and found her clothes on the floor, leaving him snoring. As she walked out the front door and carefully navigated the porch steps, she vowed to herself that she would not set foot in this house ever again.
It was not a promise she would keep.
*Authors note: “Quelquefois, on est seul chez les hommes” translates to “sometimes, one is alone among men”

The students finding out Aizawa has a (very popular) hero husband?
A/N: SO... I used the quirk idea i have for an OC for the reader in this fic, since I’m not very creative with quirks. Still a reader insert, tho!! Also i kinda went OFF on this one lmaoooo
Reader’s Hero Name: Nebulous
Reader’s Quirk: Hallucination - Make one or more people see hallucinations, varying in detail and overall size based on how much he’s concentrating. The quirk is nullified if the person realizes what they’re seeing isn’t real.
———
If anyone were to guess what Aizawa’s opinion over the pro-hero Nebulous, they would probably assume it was a sour one. Whenever the hero tended to come up in conversation, Aizawa seemed to get irritated and tense- as if he despised the hero entirely. Personal, close friends, knew why he truly acted this way- but his students did not.
Right before Aizawa had come to class, the students were bustling with energy as usual. This time, it was over the fact that Pro-Hero Nebulous had gone undercover and stopped a human-trafficking ordeal taking place at an abandoned warehouse. Dozens of people were saved, and the fact that the organization had been revealed and busted, hundreds more would be saved as the day continued, all thanks to Nebulous and his quick thinking.
“Did you read the witness reports?” Uraraka chimes in to the conversation that the entire class seemed to be in, all of them sitting at their desks and turning their bodies in their chairs to be included. “Apparently a couple and some others saw the action!”
“Really?”
“That sounds so scary, though! Do you think they were seeing his quirk, even from that distance?”
“They had to! Some of the things that was reported was so bizarre-“
“Oh! Do you have a link to the reports?”
But just as Uraraka begins to bring her phone out of her bag, the door to the classroom slams open. The sound shocks a bunch of them as their heads snap forward, seeing Aizawa looking disheveled and grumpy in the doorway. But that’s nothing unusual.
In her shock, Uraraka drops her phone on the floor and it makes a sharp sound on the tile below before she quickly scrambles to pick it up. Aizawa just eyes her silently.
“You know phone’s aren’t allowed in class,” he says simply as he walks to the podium, placing a textbook on top with a sigh. “Put it away.”
“Y-yes, sorry Aizawa-sensei!”
After that, class silently begins as Aizawa talks about future plans for the class and training schedules. Most days, his class would be learning with at least one eager ear- but it’s not hard to notice he hardly has their attention at all today.
Needless to say, it irritates Aizawa greatly.
“Alright,” he slams the book he was reading from shut, the loud thud making his students jump again. His black eyes scan the room silently- their whispers and note passing has finally stopped, now that they notice how mad he is- until he finally puts his gaze on Midoriya. The one who’s been twitching the most this entire time. “Midoriya. Tell me what’s going on.”
Plus, the boy didn’t have it in him to lie. Especially not to Aizawa.
“M-me?!”
“Yes. Spit it out.”
Midoriya looks nervously around the room, swallowing thickly before he looks back to Aizawa. And then with a shaky breath, he let’s himself speak with a wince- as if he’s stepping right into a bear trap and he fully knows what will happen next.
“W-well, um, this morning there was a really cool undercover bust! Lots of people were saved, and it was... really cool.”
Aizawa squints. “I see.” Slowly, he leans his elbows on the podium as he stares at Midoriya. “Go on.”
The poor boy is practically vibrating from anxiety at his teacher’s cold stare. He has no idea why he’s harping on him like this, but Midoriya hates it. So much. “And the hero Nebulous was there, and uh- there were some eyewitnesses who saw his quirk. And he did a great job?”
There’s a chilling silence once Midoriya finishes- you could honestly cut the tension with a knife. But slowly, slowly, Aizawa leans back up, a frown etching deeply on his lips. “I see. That’s why you’re all so excited?”
The students nod.
“Mm...” The teacher grumbles, still offering nothing but silence until he finally speaks again. “Would you like to know more about the scene, then?”
They don’t know what to say. All of them look at each other nervously, feeling like maybe they shouldn’t know- but then Kaminari opens his big fat mouth. “Yes?”
It earns him multiple glares and harshly mouthed words.
“Alright, I’ll tell you what happened.” Aizawa walks over to his desk, letting the chair screech against the tile as he pulls it out and falls against it. “Pro-hero Nebulous has been working on this undercover case for a few weeks. He had been working on it with his agency, trying to find the best approach with the fewest casualties to confront this organization. But, he saw an opportunity arise. Without informing his agency or any back-up, he confronted the villains early this morning in their warehouse.” As he speaks, his voice is laced with a heavy, angry tone. His words are clipped and chilly as he crosses his arms and looks toward the class. “Can anyone tell me why that was such a god-awful idea?”
Momo slowly raises her hand, and she tries her best to speak evenly when Aizawa gives her permission to speak. But she was truly as nervous as everyone else, especially now that the teacher’s attention was all on her. “...Nebulous had gone solo into, assumingly, their base of operations. He most likely didn’t know the entire warehouse as well as the enemy, and his only advantage was a surprise attack. But the villains had numbers, weapons, and hostages on their side.”
“Perfect, Momo.” Aizawa grins- but it’s not a happy one. “As Momo has said, Nebulous made a very impulsive, stupid decision that could have gone sideways in an instant. This is a mistake that one of you could easily make-“ hey, ouch, “But for a pro-hero to make such a mistake is unacceptable. Does that sound right?”
The entire class agrees with a “Yes, Aizawa-sensei!” Much too terrified to disagree with him, if they even had the guts to.
“I will also tell you that Nebulous did not escape the ordeal unharmed. He is being held at the hospital being treated for a concussion and three gunshots.”
This was obviously news to the class as they look at each other with surprised glances, a few gasps being made. Uraraka softly speaks up, concern in her tone, “is he going to be okay?”
Surprisingly, Aizawa’s face softens, at least a little bit. He nods once, a heavy sigh leaving his body. “He’s a hero, so he's getting the best treatment he can. It is not the worst thing that could have happened, obviously, and more terrible things have happened, but there are more factors to put in place from his idiocy.” The teacher frowns again. “There are consequences for being stubborn and impulsive. There’s the financial side of things like hospital bills, there’s the people worrying about him such as fans and family, and the fact that he’ll most likely get laid off from his agency if things like this continue.”
He’s being unusually harsh, especially towards a random pro-hero, that much is made clear to the class. But perhaps he’s just trying to teach them something? Apparently so, because the next thing he has to say is, “so while Nebulous did his heroic duty... do not idolize him for making such amateur mistakes. Learn from it instead. Class dismissed.”
And the class left home room feeling confused and a little bit scared.
———
Rumors have started to spread ever since that day about Pro-Hero Nebulous and Eraserhead. After it left the classroom, more and more interesting theories came into bloom around the school. Were they archenemies? Did Nebulous do something to Eraserhead? Or were they secretly in love but can’t confess because it’s too complicated?!
The rumors could possibly be the death of Aizawa, and he makes sure to punish his class for starting them by making them train non-stop for an entire day. He supposes he did get a little heated, but at least he put it into some sort of lesson for them to learn from. But no one learned anything- they just tried to sneak into his private life instead. Which he was very adamant on keeping private.
And you, his lovely, stupid husband, respected Aizawa’s wish for privacy. You had since the very beginning- it’s why so few people knew you were married. It was hidden for the sake of Aizawa’s peace of mind and comfort, and he appreciated you greatly for it.
But after being married for a few years and the tense fight you had over your most recent scuffle, apparently you were done being patient with him. Especially after you had heard about the rumors flirting about the school he worked in.
———
You didn’t tell him what you were planning. Things were still a little silent in the house you shared that morning as you got ready for an interview with the press- the two of you kissed goodbyes, but that was about it. Of course, you understood your husbands worry over you, but enough was enough.
Entering the building you were being interviewed at, you searched for the perfect opportunity. For Aizawa’s sake, you wore your rings of promise around your necks instead of your hands, safely hidden. But today you wore it proudly on your finger- but you hadn’t let the camera see it yet.
Then your opportunity came. The girl interviewing you was young and sweet, her face dolled up for the camera with a pretty smile. But her face grew worried as she entered the next segment the casters had planned- “are you willing to talk about the recent trafficking bust?”
You smile at her easily, crossing your legs and nodding. “Yes, I knew it was coming eventually.”
You put your hands atop your knee- your ring now visible, but no one had taken notice yet.
“Well, I can safely say we were all worried when we learned about your injuries. Have you healed up fully, or do you have any permanent damage that might affect your future work?”
“Ah, right,” you laugh from your nose and squint your eyes. “Yeah, I’ll admit, it definitely hurt afterwards. My husband gave me an earful about it, I assure you, but I’ve fully healed up and should be ready to get back to work in a few days.”
“Oh, of course!” The reporter nods her head- and then there’s a shocked silence as her eyes grow wide. You can tell from one of the TVs in the room that the camera’s have zoomed in on you and your wide grin. “Did- you have a husband?”
Your grin grows wider as you nod. “Yes, I do. We’ve been married for a few years- I’m a little shocked that no one’s caught us yet, but Eraserhead is really good at keeping things hidden.”
Her eyes widen even more. “E-Eraserhead?!”
Chuckling deeply, you look at her in mock surprise. “Oh, oops.” And then you look directly into the camera, giving it a wink.
“I- I mean,” the poor interviewer looks at a loss for words as she sits still across from you. She looks at the cameramen, who just shrug at her. “This is... big news. I mean- married?”
“Yeah... Wanna see my ring?”
The interview has possibly the most viewers that the channel has had in over a century, and boy do you feel amazing.
———
The unfortunate thing for Aizawa is that since the students were so worried over your wellbeing, he decided to have them watch the liveshow in class as it aired.
Of course he noticed when you crossed your legs- of course he noticed the ring on your finger. You’ve been hiding your relationship from the public for so long, it was impossible for him not to. And a deep feeling of dread filled him once he remembered the look you gave him before you left the house this morning.
You were planning something. And he wasn’t going to like it.
“Well, I can safely say we were all worried when we learned about your injuries. Have you healed up fully, or do you have any permanent damage that might affect your future work?”
The students- the ones who cared, at least- had sat forward in their seats once the reporter asked this question. Surprisingly, you just smiled and laughed- your left hand twitching, but no one else noticed that but Aizawa.
“Yeah, I’ll admit, it definitely hurt afterwards. My husband gave me an earful about it, I assure you, but I’ve fully healed up and should be ready to get back to work in a few days.”
This is when it started getting bad.
Unlike the reporter, the girls in his class- along with Midoriya- noticed your little ‘slip-up’ right away. Jirou had reached out and grasped Momo’s hand in shock, which in a way was cute, but Aizawa was too busy wondering if he could stop you from what you were about to do if he jumped out the window right now and was just really, really fast.
“Did- you have a husband?”
“Oh my God, is this really happening,” Ashido holds her face in her hands as she stares at the screen.
“Who is it?!”
“Yes, I do. We’ve been married for a few years- I’m a little shocked that no one’s caught us yet, but Eraserhead is really good at keeping things hidden.”
Ah, there it is.
The whole class, as if on cue, starts yelling loudly and staring at their teacher who’s literally sitting dumbly in his chair, hands stuffed in his pockets and face halfway stuffed in his scarf. He hisses long and low as he stares at the screen in front of the class- looks at you and your stupid fucking grin.
“Aizawa-sensei, is he joking?!”
“Aizawa-sensei, let me see your ring!”
“Aizawa-sensei?!”
This is the worst day in history. This is the worst. Aizawa quickly stands up, shutting the TV off. His students are still screaming, some of them getting out of their seats, and the hero is just... he’s done.
“Alright. Class is over for the rest of time. Goodbye.” And then he opens the window next to his desk- the quickest escape route. He hears Midoriya yell at him that this isn’t the first floor, but Aizawa knows that. He just doesn’t care. Using his scarf, he lunges out the window without a care.
He heads straight home, where he knows you know he’ll be waiting for you. And oh boy, once you get home? You are not going to hear the end of it for a long, long time.

THIS BITCH FUCKING DYING XD XD X'D
This is a lighthearted comedy fic, but I’m going to give a warning for mention/talks of suicide and death.
Now this may be a shocking sentiment to share; but being in a killing game fucking sucked, even if you were Momota Kaito. As ludicrous as that statement appears, heroes had a tough time in tragedy too. Kaito found himself feeling disappointed more often than he would like at the sight of his companions distrusting each other. How were they supposed to work together and escape if people were ��scared” that they would be “murdered”?! Kaito believed in trust to the bitter end and he would see that philosophy through. To point the finger at others and accuse them of murder is simply what the mastermind wanted him to do, and if Kaito was anything he was not a loser.
But that’s part of what made his sidekick so incredible! No hero was complete without his supporting role! Of course, Shuichi was much more than a supporting role. In many ways he was the protagonist of his own world (Kaito is still the hero of this story, make no mistake). Even though Shuichi relied on the motivation of others to see himself through, he was probably one of the most capable men he’d ever met. His intinution and detective skills were essential to each trial when his thoughts weren’t fogged up by mental recoil. And despite his reclusive demeanor, he was a good friend to have that everyone wanted the best for. Shuichi was Kaito’s sidekick and it showed! For his sidekick had to stand on his own as one of the best!
...Well, maybe sometimes Shuichi didn’t have a leg to stand on because he didn’t look so dependable laying face-down on the ground.
“Shuichi! Are you- what are you doing?”
Shuichi was down on the ground in front of his Ultimate Lab with his foot stuck propping the door open. He didn’t lift his head up when Kaito called out his name, instead opting for a string of gibberish and raising one hand off the ground.
“No, seriously. What are you doing?” Kaito propped the dizzy detective up against the wall, catching him as he nearly swayed back down to the floor in response. Kaito took note of his flushed face and unfocused demeanor. There wasn’t...booze in this killing game right? That would suck. A killing game and booze wouldn’t mix well. Although some may disagree and say a pint is just the pick me up after watching one of your friends be slaughtered.
“M-Momota-kun…” it seemed Shuichi was gathering his bearings again. He braced himself against Kaito by gripping his sleeves.
“Alright, c’mon Shuichi. Let’s get you to the others. I’m sure they can help us out somehow!”
“Ah but...first things first…” Shuichi looked up at Kaito with a determined resolve in his eyes typically reserved for class trials.
“If I die, it’s a suicide.”
Huh?
Huh?
HUH?!
WHAT?!
“Shuichi?!” Kaito shook Shuichi by the shoulders until he looked ready to pass out and keel over for good, “Why would you do that?! You have so much to live for!”
And Shuichi had the damn nerve to look exasperated by the panic, “Ack- Momota-kun please calm down it was an accident!”
“How do you accidentally kill yourself?!”
“Well it happens all the time really but-”
“That’s not reassuring coming from you! Just-” Kaito took a deep breath to steady his frustrations, “why the hell are you dying?”
“It’s- haha, well uhm, it’s a bit of a funny story you see-” Shuichi stopped his ramblings at Kaito’s unimpressed glare, Shuichi sighed and slumped over with a sense of shame and embarrassment, “I was in my lab familiarizing myself with the various poisons in case anyone tried to use one, but ended up dropping a bottle of powder on the floor and inhaling quite a bit.”
“T-that sounds pretty serious…” Kaito mumbled. “How do you treat a toxic inhalant?...How do I help you..? Just say the word and I’ll be there, sidekick!”
Shuichi closed his eyes and rested against the door. After a moment he said “At this rate, people will assume you killed me since you were with me all this time. So, to prove that it was a suicide-”
“Shuichi I asked how to save you not how to solve your murder.”
Shuichi tilted his head with a fog of puzzlement in his eyes, “...but solving murders is what I do?”
“Well don’t do it right now! I’m trying to prevent your death!”
“Hm.” Shuichi seemed to have to rethink his evaluation, but the situation hadn’t changed. “This is a killing game, Momota-kun. I don’t think surviving or saving is on par with the course of action the mastermind planned out.”
“W-well if there’s a poison, there’s an antidote right?”
Shuichi shook his head, “No, there’s probably enough materials to make one, but... I’m not a chemist.”
“Let’s ask Iruma to make one then!”
“She’s not a chemist either.” Not to mention Shuichi didn’t trust any sort of edible concoction Miu put together. He wasn’t sure what she would create, but he did know it would make him want to die even faster.
“Ok then, let’s ask Harumaki!”
“Wh- Momota-kun, Harukawa-san kills people!”
“Yeah, so maybe she knows how to unkill people too! I’m pretty sure she can do basically anything.”
Shuichi, with his head now in his hands, decided that it would be easier to simply go along with Kaito’s antics. His body felt weak and gross and his head was splitting, which was a shame because in all honesty that powder had smelt nice. If only it didn’t leave his lab in need of a quarantine. It could’ve been a good candle scent. Or perhaps Shuichi was just veering into delirium. Dying will do that to you.
He was definitely veering into delirium because one moment he was staring down at his hands and the next he was being carried by Kaito. The worst part of it all was that it didn’t match his daydreams of being romantically carried bridal style by his crush. Instead he was a heavy sack of dead weight plopped against Kaito’s back trying to keep his nausea down as Kaito descended a set of stairs.
“Wh-what’re you doing?” Shuichi mumbled upon realizing that he couldn’t remember Kaito’s plan. If he had one.
“We’re going to get you help!” Shuichi thought it was a pretty bad idea. It would just make the trial even more confusing and he wouldn’t be able to clarify since corpses don’t make for good witnesses. Even if he wanted to voice that though, he ended up in a nasty coughing fit that left him gasping for air.
“Dammit!” Kaito hissed out, “If only Tojo was still here!”
That Shuichi agreed with. If Kirumi was here she would somehow manage to create a cure even though that was absolutely not in the job description of a maid. Her backstory concerned Shuichi quite a bit.
“There he is!” Kaito yelled out, picking up his pace from a light jog to a full run.
“We’re...w-w’re going to ask him for help...?” Shuichi mumbled, before letting out a loud groan, “no, that’s okay...j-just let me die then.”
“Oi Monokuma!” If it weren’t for the imminent danger that would result from it, Kaito would be throttling Monokuma until something broke. “You have to help Shuichi, dammit! Give him a cure or some shit!”
Monokuma tilted his head, looking up at Kaito with pseudo-innocence, “are you stupid or something?”
“Wh-” Kaito nearly lost his anger in confusion, only for it to come back tenfold, “you have to help him!”
“No I don’t, lol.” Monokuma shrugged, “I think the bastard dropping dead would be great! Honestly any of you mistakes would do, he’s not special or anything.”
“He’s our detective!”
“Yeah, you lot are screwed without him, huh?” Monokuma let out a cackle, curled in on his stomach like Shuichi dying was the highlight of his day. “Sounds so beary hopeless to be without a protag, huh! Man we’ve lost two protags in one show, that’s a new record! Someone write that down, I want a medal!”
“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about…” Kaito shifted Shuichi higher up on his back, ignoring the mumbles in his ear of what evidence to use in the trial, “but don’t start planning yet! Shuichi isn’t dying on my watch!”
Monokuma nodded, “yeah, you are stupid.”
“Fine then I’m going to Harumaki! She was my first plan anyway since you’re so useless!”
“Useless?” Monokuma’s voice wobbled, his head tilted down like a child being told to apologize for wrong doing, “and after all I’ve done for you too...I don’t have to provide you lot with food and shelter, you know.”
“Ahh shut up! We don’t have time for your weird feelings!”
The world became another dizzying blur as Kaito ran off yet again. “Don’t worry Shuichi! I’m taking you to Harumaki! She’ll have everything figured out!”
---
“You inhaled a toxic powder from your lab?”
Shuichi nodded.
“And you’ve gotten no treatment this entire time?”
Shuichi nodded.
“How are you not dead already?”
Shuichi shrugged.
Maki sighed and pinched her nose, wondering how the hell these two idiots got themselves into such a mess, “Saihara, I always thought if you were going to die it would be from murder and not from some bullshit like this.”
Which was a fair assumption really. Being the detective among them, the group learned to rely on Shuichi’s deductions to solve the murders. Without him, there would be a lot of chaos that the killer could use to trick everyone. Wait. Why has no one tried to kill Shuichi again? Shuchi couldn’t tell if he was a lucky man or not, but considering he was currently dying on his crush’s back it’s safe to say he leaned towards unlucky.
Maki turned to Kaito, glaring at him in a way that said she wanted to help but the situation sucked to do anything, “what exactly do you want me to do about this?”
“Save him, of course!” “I’m not a doctor. I’m the opposite. I kill people.”
Shuichi wished desperately that he could say “I told you so”
“Look Harumaki, we can’t just let him die like this! We’re his friends so we have to do whatever we can to help him! Not just for us, but for Akamatsu too! She wanted him to live!”
Harukawa’s steel glare seemed to melt a little at that.
“So we need a plan!” Kaito said, “and the plan is to save Shuichi!”
“That’s not a plan, that’s a goal. And it’s a stupidly impossible goal too.”
“Nothing is impossible!”
Shuichi wondered if he could just close his eyes and die to avoid all the yelling he’s had to endure today.
Another voice joined the conversation with a loud cry of “what’s impossible!?” It was none other than Iruma Miu, confidently placing herself into the scene when no one asked her to. Kiibo was with her, following at a much slower pace with an expression that screamed second-hand embarrassment. With her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face, she ensured all parties had their eyes on her before speaking again.
“Because this hard-headed freak is right! Nothing is impossible with my beautiful plump brain around! What is it you’re looking for? A new way to pull off a fictional r18 move? I knew you three were depraved, but don’t worry Mama Miu has got it covered-”
“No, you idiot.” Maki cut her off without a drop of sympathy. Shuichi didn’t have any sympathy either though, so really it was just relatable. “Saihara is dying.”
“Eh? What?” Miu’s voice fell into a submissive whimper. She curled in on herself and fiddled her hands together. “That doesn’t sound good…”
“Yes dying is usually not good.”
Kiibo worriedly hovered near Kaito, trying to get a good look at Shuichi, “is he ok?”
“No. Because he is dying.”
Miu seemed to have panic in her eyes, “he can’t die! Not yet anyway! Who killed him huh?! Who’s trying to escape?!”
“Iruma!” Kaito ignored her questions, “you can save him, right?! He was poisoned, and you always say that you can do anything!”
“I-I mean yeah I can but… but I don’t know anything about biocompatibility... I honestly just put things in the body and hope it works…I would need more time...”
“Then what about you Kiibo?! Maybe you can...I don’t know- analyze the poison and come up with a cure!”
“My algorithm doesn’t do that...I could do a Google search if we were given WIFI access though...”
“Dammit does anyone have an idea to save Shuichi?!”
“Oh! Oh!” Miu raised her hand, “I’ve seen people induce vomiting in movies to stop poison! That’ll work, yeah?!”
Maki, realizing that this conversation was going to draw out far longer than to her liking, pulled out a chair and sat in it, “first of all: do not do that. Second of all it was an inhalant. I don’t think that will stop his lungs from shutting down any time soon.”
“I know!” Kiibo turned to Miu with a determined look, “Iruma-san! Repurpose my wiring so that my hands function as a defibrillator!”
“Did you not hear what I just said?” Maki asked.
“Well it might stop Saihara-kun from dying if his heart stopped!”
“There’s nothing we can do.” Maki stressed, “we just have to lay him down, monitor him,, and hope he lives”
“Harumaki that’s the same as giving up!”
“Hey hey!” No. God dammit. Sure, let’s keep complicating the dialogue. Shuichi was having a very bad day. Could this poison just finish him off already instead of leaving him on death’s doorstep? Fucking rude. Ouma Kokichi, hearing the glorious sounds of frantic arguing, skipped over to the group with a peachy look on his face.
“What’s wrong with you all? You’re acting like somebody died.” Kokichi did a dramatic gasp, covering his mouth with his hands, “did someone die?! Did someone finally kill Keeboy?!”
Kiibo stopped debating with Miu to give Kokichi an unimpressed look, “seriously?”
“Nishishi- yeah, I guess that would be too lucky.”
“Can you take something seriously for once in your life?” Maki glared, “because somebody will die if we can’t figure this out. Saihara inhaled a toxic powder and we aren’t sure how much time we have left to save him.”
“Ehh?” Kokichi’s face turned from confusion to worry. He’d clearly thought Maki was messing with him until he saw Shuichi’s half conscious body draped over Kaito looking very much like a victim of poison. Just as quickly as his expression changed it turned into an over exaggerated ploy they’d all seen a million times. His eyes filled with tears, his lip quivered, his nose started to sniffle. With a hiccup in his voice he began to whimper, “one of you guys is trying to kill my Saihara-chan?! I thought you all were preaching about friendship and trust and ending the killing game!”
Kokichi tilted his head back as he fell into a full on sob. A loud childish ear-breaking wail resounded as tears poured from his eyes with practiced ease. “You guys are so awful!” he yelled in between his sobs, “how could you do this?! Saihara-chan can’t die!”
“Would you shut the fuck up, flat ass!’ Miu yelled.
And just like that Kokichi’s sobs had turned off. A complete 180 from his previous demeanor. It was like he hadn’t cried at all. His eyes weren’t red and puffy, his nose was dry, and his body was relaxed and poised. He stared camly down at his fingernails, examining them as though this situation was nothing more than a slight inconvenience to his day. “I’m serious, you know. I would never joke or lie. Saihara-chan can’t die, this game wouldn’t be the same without him.”
Kaito nearly asked Kokichi what he meant. Did he care about Shuichi? Did he care about their survival? Was he finally coming around?
“Oi Monokuma!” Kokichi yelled. Monokuma bounced into the scene as though he was on Kokichi’s beck and call. “Hey did you know that Saihara-chan is dying? Like right now? And we’re all just watching that?”
Okay. Maybe he wasn’t starting his redemption arc then. Maybe he’s still the same piece of shit Kokichi.
“Ouma, what are-”
“Of course I know! It’s pretty funny, huh Ouma-kun?”
Kokichi laughed along with Monokuma, as though they were cut from the same tree. But then suddenly he was back to that semi-disappointed demeanor. “Yeah. Saihara-chan is dying. And doesn’t that really suck? This game is going to sooo be terrible without him. In his trial I bet we’re all going to die because these morons can’t think without him. You know that too, don’t you, Monokuma? WIthout Saihara-chan your show is going to be cut off in this most annoying and unentertaining way. Ahhh I can’t believe this is how the game ends. After all that build up too. I don’t think I even want to be a part of this any more honestly. I’d much rather pig breath die.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh.”
Monokuma seemed taken aback by Kokichi’s analysis. He pondered it for a moment, nervously looking around and imagining all the lovely executions that would go to waste if Shuichi died right now. With a sigh he pulled out a very suspicious bottle from-...actually where did he pull that bottle from? Not important. What was important was that there was finally a cure in front of them, the one they’d been asking for all this time.
“Give him this and the brat should be good as new!” and with that Monokuma popped away.
Kokichi, holding the vial, smiled brightly at the others, “Here you go! Don’t let Saihara-chan die again okay! I don’t care if any of you others do but Saihara-chan is very special m’kay?”
…
…
...
“So you mean…I really could have asked Monokuma for a cure?! The bastard was just lying to me!?”

My Hero
Mirio Togata x reader
Quirk: emotions; you can feel others emotions and project your own onto others around you, in dire situations you can even shut your own emotions off.
Description: Sir Nighteyes death not only changed Mirio but also your relationship, but are you just being oblivious or did he really mean what he said that day?
Warnings: Fluff, low-key angst, cuteness, nicknames
I sighed as I looked at the man in-front of me. The man I loved, once so happy and full of light and now... faded. He smiled still of course but, it was dimmer and more often than not fake. Im sure others have noticed but none of them like I have, how could they? I’m his girlfri- his EX girlfriend. A thought the still broke my heart.
But that didn’t mater any longer, he was still my friend, just like he promised. He was always there and gave me the space I needed after the break up. But of course I would never allow that for more than a day at most, he had just lost Sir Nighteye, the man he looked up to the man who was like a father to him, wether he told me or not doesn't matter. I knew that was true, that that was how he felt about him.
And now I watch him talk down to himself saying so many horrible untrue things. “Lemillion? Ha you could barely save one girl, you didn’t deserve your quirk its good it was taken away-”
“Togata-san!” I called out as he hadn't answered me previously calling him. His head quickly snapped up to me as he wiped his tears. I shook my head cupping his cheek. “Why do you speak so lowly of yourself?”
“Because I deserve it! I’m not a hero, I was never going to be! I let Eri go, it’s my fault that Sir is dead!” He cried moving my hand away from his face harshly.
I let it drop to my side limply as I activated my quirk. Letting the calm peace I always felt around him seep into him. “Mirio-san you know that isn't true.”
“But how can I be a hero without a quirk?!” He said frustrated but he slowly calmed down.
“You already are.” I whispered and he scoffed softly. “You are Mirio-san, to so many people. But most importantly your m- I mean your her hero.”
He looked up at me then, “hers?”
I smiled as I held my hand out to the side gesturing to the person he couldn't see because she was hidden by a wall. “Eri-chan~” I cooed softly to the girl.
She walked out quietly and grabbed my hand I could feel her calm aura as she took my hand which pleased me, I’m glad Mirios earlier distress didn’t upset her. But I made sure to use my quirk once again to radiate the happiness I felt by her being here outwards into the two people around me.
“Hello” she said softly.
“Eri-chan!” Mirio said happily and moved and pulled the small girl into a hug, a gesture she had become more adjusted to the longer she was around people like me and him. She was still working on smiling and embracing others back but we slowly got there.
It took a lot of work from all parties. “But I thought Aizawa-sensei said she had to-” he began but I stoped him.
“ah ah ah none of that, Eri-chan is perfectly fine. Besides with me around everything is fine! you forget you may be part of the top three but I’m the number four student in our school for a reason!” I said smiling as I did my signature two finger salute making sure to add a small flourish of my wrist knowing it made Eri feel happier even if she still couldn't express it.
A quirk of my own quirk, it pays of being able to feel her emotions as well as to radiate my own.
“Our quirks are compatible, hers being largely tied to her emotions and mine being well, emotions.” I said shrugging with a smile. I saw the tension leave his shoulders, just like the moment she stepped out from behind the wall. I even thought maybe there was a hint of light back in his eyes... just maybe.
“So I got special permission from the hospital and the school so I have the day off to take her out and I want you to come with! Nothing to out there like I know you usually like, but Tamaki did give me a few great ideas!” I said beaming at him glad I could come up with a plan.
Mirio smiled then and we set off to go about our fun outing with Eri. We first took her to a small market and her eyes absolutely glowed when we found the fruit stand, I never thought I would see someone get so happy over an apple.
So I quickly bought her one and it was worth every last scent once I bought her a whole bag just to see that smile, money wasn't always the easiest thing to come by for my family but I knew if she asked I would gladly buy her the world.
As we where walking through the little market I was happy to see my thoughts where correct. It was mostly empty due to it being the middle of a Wednesday morning. There was a slight chill but that changed once Mirio placed his scarf around me.
“Here, I can see your shivering.” He said smiling at me his blue eyes sparkling closer to what they used to.
My cheeks burned red but I shook it off, “t-thank you.” I stuttered. As we continued walking I saw the Ramen shop me, him and the other members of the top three used to go to. Instantly I had an idea.
“Eri-chan,” I said smiling down at the girl who's eyes practically glowed in wonder at the market. She looked up at me waiting for me to continue “Have you ever had Ramen?”
At the mention of his favorite food Mirio perked up, “Ramen? Oooo I love Ramen!” He said happily.
Eri shook her head, “No but I would like to try it if Lemillion likes it.” she said and I smiled at her as I grabbed her hand as well as Mirios out of habit. But as if I had been burned I quickly ripped my hand away from him.
“S-sorry.” I stuttered quickly about to go into a fit of apologies, an old habbit I had broken thanks to our relationship but had fallen back into since it had ended.
“No need, its alright.” He said grabbing my hand, I smiled widely. We went into the Ramen shop ordering all of our food, Eri getting the same thing as me but Mirio and her ended up sharing quite a bit anyways, it was safe to say this food would be a new favorite for her.
And after a long day walking around secluded parts of our city it was time to return home. You three walked back to UA without thinking, after all Mirio and you had called it home the past few months but he faltered upon entering.
“Oh,” he let out a slightly nervous chuckle, “guess I actually go back to my own house huh?” I looked down sadly not ready for the day to end.
I came up with an idea and quickly smiled, “Well im sure the rest of the big three would love to see you!”
The thought of his best friends caused him to smile as well, “Yeah you’re right! I can visit them!” he said sounding slightly shocked.
“You always sound so shocked when I come up with a good plan” I said as I bumped his arm playfully as I smiled.
Out of habit he pinched my cheeks, “Aw can't help it sunshine you're always surprising me!” I basked in the familiarity of the intimate actions but it was quickly ruined as he snatched his hand away. “I-i’m sorry y/l/n-san!” He said quickly bowing I went to reassure him but before I knew it he had hugged Eri said his goodbyes and took off running.
I sighed willing the tears in my eyes away knowing I needed to keep composure for Eri. You smile at her, and it is only tinted with sadness, as you hold a hand out to her. She takes it in her smaller one and squeezes it gently. Its a moment or two of silent walking before she shockingly speaks up first.
“Do you love Lemillion?” She asks softly you look at her shocked, how did she know about that? Of course you all had expressed your love to her but no child should truly be able to understand it enough to pick it up from people who don't blatantly show it.
You wanted to hide it and say no but you never lied to her before so you wouldn't start now, you answered with a simple yes.
“Then why don't you guys kiss and hold hands all the time?” She asks softly.
“well because we-we can't anymore.” You stutter shyly, shocked she even knew of such actions. But you scolded yourself reminding you she was quiet, not dumb.
She seemed greatly confused by your answer, “But why not?”
“Well you see thats a thing couples do and Mirio-chan and I are no longer together romantically.” You stated trying to simplify it.
“Why?” She asks again. Oh ever the child with her curiosity. But this stopped you, you paused mid step and just stood thinking.
Why in-fact did you two break up? You remember driving at the hospital after the attack to find Mirio alone in his room crying, you had heard about his quirk and Sir Nighteyes death so you quickly ran to him pulling him into a tight hug.
“I’m so sorry m-” but he cut you off.
“Sunsh-” he paused “y/n, we need to talk.” Instant dread filled your stomach. Why would he use your first name? Had something happened and the doctors and Mr. Aizawa didnt inform you about?
“O-okay Mirio, you know I’ll listen.” He tried to speak but closed his mouth, repeating this process several times. “It’s okay take your time.” You cupped his cheek but he shook his head removing your hand as his eyes turned steely and determined.
“I’m breaking up with you.” He said seriously.
“W-what?” The word left as noting but a whimper, “Mirio thats not funny stop joking around.” but I felt it, the determination, the coldness. Things I had never felt aimed my way from him.
“I’m serious. I’m breaking up with you, we are no longer dating we will now be friends, nothing more.” You wanted to protest to scream at him to stop this nonsesne to say it was just the grief but you didnt. You nodded your head doing the thing you hated most.
You shut down your emotions, a power only you had. But this was the only way you could be near him without breaking. “No y/n I need you to leave. I don't want you shutting yourself down.” He spoke as I tried to sit down on the chair.
I stood up then looking to the door, “fine... but im going back tomorrow and theres nothing you can do to stop me, you're my friend,” you looked at him then allowing the smallest emotion through a cracked smile, “I’m not leaving you alone in this.” He nodded and with that you left. You weren't looking and bumped into something.
Looking up you say your favorite loud yellow haired teacher as well as your favorite much quieter black haired teacher.
“Hey hey little listener whats going on?” Instantly you collapsed into him and broke down sobbing, Mr Aizawa removing your quirk so his overly emotional friend didn't get sucked down into the void of your despair with you. After a moment or so he left to go and visit Mirio knowing what the source of your pain was thought the sobbed attempt at an explanation you gave to Present Mic.
You then looked back to Eri and answered truthfully. “I dont know.” I whispered, “I suppose because he no longer felt the same way he did for me before, he had been though a lot of grief and pain its only natural for feelings to change.” I said to her as I tried to keep walking but now she stopped.
“But Lemillion loves you too why would you not be?” You chuckle at her and before you can dismiss her she continues. “he looks at you like Uravity looks at Deku.” At this I stopped walking again, It was very clear the feelings those two held for each other, could she be telling the truth?
“She's right you know?” I hear a deep voice behind me and jump as I throw a punch out behind me.”Woah!” I now realize the man holding my fist is Mr. Aizawa and I immdeatly apologize but his chuckles stops me. “You’re good kid, almost got me and that doesn't happen very often.” he paused “But she is right he does still care for you. While you where crying with Mic I went to him he was... in less than ideal shape.”
“Sensei with all due respect, of course he wasn't in good shape he just lost a father figure and his quirk.” I said as I now picked up Eri to calm her down from my sudden outburst of movement. She cuddled into my neck with a soft hum.
“And he lost his biggest support system. I know you've noticed how he’s been and unlike most I have as well, believe it or not I observe quite a few things. Like how your grades are slightly slipping and you’ve been staying up later and later and how you’ve been zoning out in class.”
I stared at him mouth agape, “H-how?”
“I care y/l/n. I care about all my students wether I admit it or not.” he paused “repeat that to anyone and they'll call you crazy.” I nodded my head smiling and then slowly realized everything he said.
“He loves me.” I muttered to myself. “He loves me!” I said louder. Eri looked at me and I saw a small smile on her face.
“yes he does.”
“I-I have to go!” I said frantically. Eri leaned forward moving into Mr. Aizawas arms.
“Hurry up now. He needs you,” I ran off not even worried about Eri knowing she was in good hands with Mr. Aizawa. “Now more than ever.” Aizawa whispered as he watched her run off thanking him.
Bonus of this scene:
“come on Eri ill take you back.”
“Thank you dad.”
“... you’re welcome.”
*brushes away tears of happiness from cuteness* Anywho back to the story ~Author-chan (no one ever calls me that :( )
As I ran towards the dormitories tears welled in my eyes. I was still so confused and still hurt, why did he leave me?
“Togata-san!” I yelled as I got closer, in my distress moving instantly to his surname. “Mirio-san!” I yelled again when I got no response. I now could see him talking to my other two best friends but I didnt care as I continued to run.
“Mirio!” I yelled. I now saw him spin around and begin sprinting towards me.
“Y/n?! Y/n whats wrong? Are you hurt?!” He asks frantically as he takes my face into his hands turning it each way. I nod my head. “Who hurt you?” He practically grows out.
“Y-you.” I whimper wrapping my arms around him. I feel him tense.
“M-me?” I nod my head. “Wha-what did I do?” He asks pulling away and wiping my tears.
“Y-you left me.” I cried and his face dropped again. “Why? Why did you leave me? Did you not think I would be good for you anymore? Did I do something wrong?” He continues trying to wipe my tears before stopping and giving up.
“I-I thought you deserved someone better, someone with a quirk like Tamaki.” He whispers looking down, “I thought you wouldn't like me anymore because I cant protect you.”
“Mirio you idiot I haven't liked you for years.” I whispered but he didnt look shocked because he could feel what I was about to say it seeped out of every pore of my body, “I’ve always loved you.” I whisper.
“But you loved me when I was Lemillion!” He said quickly and I shook my head.
“No I didn’t, I loved you as Mirio Togata, and then as Lemillion. And you always forget this,” I whisper I pull his head down placing his forehead on my own, “You might not be a hero but you’ve always been mine, just you Mirio. Not Lemillion, just you.”
“y/n I know I hurt you and I don't deserve it but please,” he cupped my cheeks pinching them slightly “please be my sunshine again.”
I laughed showing him a bright smile “You act like you had a choice.” And with that I pulled him into a kiss enjoying the feeling I had been missing these past few weeks.
“I love you.” He whispered against my lips.
“And I love you.”

Hi! Recently I've been interested in old fics, can you make a fic rec of season 1 fics written before s2 happened? (Old in age and old in theme lol) ps. I love your work and admire you a lot 😘
Hi Nonny!
Ohhh, this is an interesting prompt indeed! This one required me to 1) figure out when S2 aired (Jan 15, 2012) and 2) to use the “sort by date” feature on Ao3 I have never ever used. I got tired from trying to find all the Pre-S2 fics in my FFNet recs, so I haven’t many of them on here. When I have more free time, I’ll do a part 2 list from FFNet. So, yeah, sorry about how long this one took to do. Hopefully you’ll find something you like!
And if I got any of these wrong, well at least you can read more fics lol.
(and thank you so much!! I’m all blushie!!)

ceo!yoongi - the proposal
→ pairing: min yoongi x reader
→ genre: ceo!au, the fluffiest fluff, a lil bit of n s f w
→ wordcount: 3.1k
→ notes: first drabble ever!!! surprisingly a loT of you guys wanted more ceo!yoongi after i started the character ask game (that is stiLL open pls spam my inbox) so here you go!!! i might do more drabbles like this with any of my stories so if y’all want a particular scenario just let me know and i can make ur wildest dreams come tru and as usual the gif isn’t mine!
yoongi’s never been so nervous in his entire life before.
“i’m sO excited like i was literally thinking about ice cream the moment we got up this morning”
you look like a kid with your face basically pressed up against the glass as you look down at the array of ice cream flavours
yoongi mentioned yesterday that he was in the mood for dessert which is honestly suCh a rarity so of course you had to jump at the opportunity to return to the ice cream parlour that is now yours and yoongi’s special lil place
the last time you were here you had the cinnamon toast crunch flavour which was reaLLy good but you wanna branch out and try something different
every time you guys come here yoongi lets you pick out a flavour for him because you refuse to let him get his low-fat low-fun vanilla frozen yogurt
“whoever decided to put s’mores into ice cream is a certified genius” you mutter to yourself and your mouth basically starts watering when you catch sight of cookie dough cheesecake ice cream!!
whOmstve comes up with these flavours???????
you want to eat ice cream all day every day
if only diabetes wasn’t a thing
“close your mouth, baby.” yoongi can’t help but chuckle and he reaches over to tap your chin shut “you take your time. i’ll be over there.”
you roll your eyes when he hands you his card as per usual
he never lets you pay and you have to admit you’re becoming a wee bit spoilt
“no. it’s on me, boss” you tuck his card into his pocket and pat his chest gently
“but-“
“one more word out of you and i’ll make sure to ask them to add extra sprinkles and chocolate sauce on your ice cream”
yoongi’s eyes widen at your threat
the ice cream alone is sweet enough
but with extra sprinkles anD chocolate sauce
he could die
no
he wiLL die
“alright. you got me there.”
“hm. i know.”
yoongi smiles and he can’t help but pull you in closer with an arm wrapped around your waist
it’s pretty late so PDA isn’t a big deal because there aren’t a lot of people here at this hour
“stubborn as a mule, you are”
good god he adores you
“go and warm up our booth for us” you poke his nose
yoongi nods and leans down to give you a sweet little kiss before squeezing your hip and drawing away from you then heading off to your guys’ usual spot
he seems a little off today but the two of you had a long night yesterday (wink wonk) so you’re not that surprised but even after a long night (wink wonk) he’s not usually thIs out of it
you don’t think too much of it though
he’s been super busy at work lately
you should know considering you’re the one organising his schedules
the other day he had like eight meetings back to back
the poor man
when he disappears to the back you turn your attention back to the triLLION and one flavours
every time you come in here you’re always making hard decisions
chocolate chip cookie vanilla swirl vs peach cobbler feels more like a life or death situation
“okay, let’s see…”
meanwhile
yoongi doesn’t know if he’s ever been so nervous in his entire life before
his foot keeps tapping on the ground
his palms are kind of gross and clammy
aNd he’s chewing on his bottom lip which is something he never does because it displays nervousness which he neVER IS
all because of the little blue velvet box resting in his inner suit pocket containing a big fat diamond ring
it’s just burning a damn hole in his pocket
he feels his heart thrumming away
he’s going to propose to you tonight
to the woman he loves more than anything in this damn world
y/n y/l/n
y/n y/l/n who walked into his life wearing skinny jeans and a polka dotted blouse one morning and then a white button up and a tight pencil skirt with stilettos the next morning
y/n y/l/n who talked shit about him tO him the first time the two of you met
y/n y/l/n who was always a hot mess but somehow remained organised and responsible when it came to work
y/n y/l/n who stayed with him after his disastrous date and kissed him after tying his tie
y/n y/l/n who he slowly but surely fell in love with over time
he loves you
and he wants to spend the rest of his life with you by his side
yoongi’s heart flutters at the memory of when you kissed him for the first time and how your cheeks grew dark and how your lashes fluttered and how you tilted your head and let out a little sigh as you kissed him
the two of you have shared hundreds of kisses since then
that seems like such a long time ago when in reality it’s only been like five or six months? you two have only been dating for a short while but... he knows this is the right decision
yeah
this is what he wants because he loves you
…
but what if you say no
oh
oh no
yoongi didn’t think this through
what if you say NO
then it’ll be awkward at work
what if you break up with him
maybe this relationship is moving too fast
then he just wasted money on this big fat engagement ring that’ll mock him and remind him that you said no every time he looks at it
“okay! red velvet cake ice cream for me. churro ice cream for you. look! there are even little hunks of churro on the top.” yoongi’s broken out of his little panic when you slide in next to him
your excited smile is a momentary distraction from his little panic
“y/n - look how artificial yours looks. no ice cream should be thAt red. red velvet cake shouldn’t even be red! who in their right mind decided that they wanted to dye their chocolate cake red???” yoongi sighs when he sees you shovel a small scoop into your mouth
he swears that you’re probably going to die one day of eating too many artificial things and when they cut you open
“shush!” when yoongi opens his mouth again to say something you pop one of the churro chunks into his mouth and he chews thoughtfully before nodding satisfactorily
“okay listen - i know we’ve been fighting over this, but i’m willing to compromise. i’ll sacrifice the left side of the bed-“
“because that’s my side?”
“it’s mY SIDe too okay if you slept on the right side we wouldn’t have this problem”
“maybe if you slept on the right side we wouldn’t have this problem”
“you’re the one who asked me to move in you idiot!!!!”
“don’t disrespect your boss”
“don’t disrespect your girlfriend!!” you whine and swat yoongi’s hand away when he reaches up to pinch your cheek “anyWAYS- i’m willing to sacrifice the left side of the bed if you give me the right side of the closet.”
“but that’s mY side of the closet”
“oh my god yoongi - half of my clothes are already on the right side of the closet anD i’ve taken up the top two drawers-“
“you made that pretty clear when i went to get my socks and instead i pulled out a lacy red thong” yoongi smirks and licks a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar off his bottom lip
“-that you ripped later that night. you still owe me a new thong, by the way.” you point out
“okay okay. here. i have a deal for you. i’ll give you the left side of the bed, the right side of the closet, and i’ll replace aLL the lingerie pieces i’ve apparently destroyed if you-“
if you
oh god
this is happening
okay yes
this is happening he’s going to do this
he’ll give you the left side of the bed, the right side of the closet, and he’ll replace all the lingerie that he’s apparently destroyed if you marry him
just say it
“if i…?” you’re not even looking at him you’re finishing the final scoop of your ice cream and you’re trying to scoop out every last chunk and you have your tongue poking out in concentration and goD it’s so endearing
everything about you is so endearing
wow
he loves you.
he wants to marry you.
“marry me.” yoongi doesn’t realise he’s actually said it out loud until he notices he can’t hear you talking anymore
and then he’s looking over and you’re staring right at him with wide eyes and with a plastic spoon hanging out of your mouth
you swallow thickly and you feel like your heart isn’t even beating anymore
did he
did yoongi just
m,,,marry
he just asked u to
what
what
whAT??????
yoongi pushes his nerves aside
it’s too late now
and it’s now or never
if you say no you two can just carry on like the way it is now
it’ll be fine
“ʷʰᵃᵗˀ” you squeak out and it’s so quiet you’re not sure yoongi even heard you
yoongi swallows and reaches into his inner suit pocket
his fingers are trembling a little but he manages to pull it together kinda
you nearly bite the spoon in half when he pulls out a petit velvet box and pulls it open to reveal
a glimmering, gorgeous, rose gold engagement ring
“marry me.” you look up from the ring at yoongi and he’s looking right at you with his intense gaze and you’ve never seen yoongi look so damn serious in the entire time that you’ve known him
min yoongi
the man that you love soOO so fuckign much
just asked you to marry him
he wants you to become his w…wife
“your reaction is giving me mixed signals and i don’t know if i should be nervous or not” yoongi chuckles and scratches the back of his neck and his eyes flicker away from you and he slouches a little
he’s not feeling so confident anymore yikEs
“i… i know you might think we might be moving too fast which is totally understandable but i just… i’m very much in love with you and-“
“yes.” you finally breathe out
oh
okay
you
you wanna marry him too
the next thing yoongi knows he’s being tackled and is suddenly on his back staring up at the ceiling and he hears your giggles and squeals of excitement and yES YES YES YES I’LL MARRY YOU yES and he feels you peppering kisses all over his face
yoongi has an arm wrapped around your waist while the other clutches at the top of the booth to keep the two of you from sliding off the damn thing
when you finally calm down you lean down to give yoongi a soft kiss
he can’t help but smile because you taste like red velvet cake ice cream
and then the two of you are sitting back up and you’re wiping away tears of joy with one hand while yoongi slips the diamond ring onto your other (very shaky) hand (which is a result of your sugar high and also exciTEMENT)
you admire the ring and the way it twinkles under the dim light of the lightbulb dangling above the two of you and then you look up at yoongi and he just looks… so happy
you cup his cheeks and he immediately leans in to give you another peck
“i love you” you murmur and nudge your nose against his and yoongi sighs happily
“love you more” good god he’s turned soft
and it’s all because of yoU
“love you mosT” you give yoongi a warning look that tells him you’re willing to play this game all night long and he raises his hands in defeat “love you most but i think i might love this ring even more” you joke and yoongi scowls playfully
seriously tho it’s a beautifuL ring that probably costs more than your entire life
if you look at it for too long it’ll probably blind you
“i love you but i don’t think i can finish this ice cream” yoongi pushes his cup away and you’re not surprised because he’s like the pickiest person on planet earth
the two of you walk hand in hand back to his car and you feel your insides flutter when he opens the door for you and goes like “here you go, mrs. min” and you respond with a curtsey and a “thank you kindly, mr. min”
he holds your hand the entire ride back home and he can’t stop the wide smile that tugs at his lips when you pull his hand up and press a soft kiss over his knuckles
you have your own set of keys to yoongi’s place obviOusly and as you’re unlocking the front door yoongi has his arms wrapped around you from behind and his chin is propped up on your shoulder
you turn around and kiss him while blindly twisting the knob and walking the two of you into the house
the keys fall to the floor with a clatter
and then yoongi’s suit jacket falls to the floor
and then your purse
and whoops
there goes your skirt
you let out a squeal when yoongi suddenly hoists you up and wraps your legs around his waist while his hands cup you under your thighs
“are we already consummating the marriage? you literally jusT proposed to me” you chide playfully and give yoongi’s bicep a squeeze (he’s been working out recently and it’s…,.,,. really paying off) while yoongi walks the two of you up to the bedroom
“you know how impatient i am”
the entire time yoongi’s fucking you he has one hand in between your legs (because duh) and the other hand his fingers are intertwined with yours
your ring bites a little when he squeezes your hand and it’s just a reminder that the two of you are going to get married
he wants to marry the fuCk out of you
he also wants to fuck the fuck out of you (which is what he’s currently doing) because you look extra good tonight for some reason
your eyes are all blown out and your lips are swollen from how much he’s kissing you and your hair is perfectly tousled from when you took it down from its bun after work and you smeLL like his shampoo and you taste like ice cream
and you guys have had,,, like a lot of sex but he doesn’t think he’s ever had an orgasm this intense before like his moans and gasps are louder than usual
eventually what pushes him over the edge is when you say “i- ah! nngh i can’t, fuck, i can’t wait to marry you i- yoongi-! oh god yoongi right there - i love you s-so much”
afterwards yoongi has a hand wrapped around you while you snuggle up to him with your hand resting on his chest and he’s never felt so warm and happy and fuzzy before even though the two of you are slightly sweaty and sticky
he pouts when you pull away and slip into his shirt
god you look good in his clothes
“where are you going?” he makes grabby hands at you and you giggle and look at him fondly
your soon to be husband is adorable
“i’m gonna run a bath for us - yoU stay here” you crawl back onto the bed and lean down to kiss him “i’ll be back, mr min”
“i’ll be waiting - mrs min.”
“HOLY SHIT”
you’re sure the entire floor can hear jimin when you show him your sparkling new accessory the next morning
“I KNOW RIGHT”
and you’re sure the entire floor can also hear yOu
jimin’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when you strolled into the break room and you yawned and covered your mouth with your left hand and u were omG i’m soOo tired and then he caught sight of the monster diamond just chilling on your finger
and then the two of you literally just starting screaming and jumping up and down and no one was formulating proper sentences like it was just a bunch of “YOU-“ “I-“ “OH MY-“ “I KNOW���
[unidentifiable screeching]
of course when yoongi pops in to see what all the commotion is about it all makes sense when he sees you and jimin
the two of you are sitting there acting like you weren’t just screaming your heads off a second ago
in fact you’re just sitting there with your cups of coffee small talking and all that
“the weather’s beautiful today.”
“i know! i heard it’s going to be sunny this whole week.”
[coughs]
“hm.”
“mm.”
[slurps coffee aggressively]
“morning, mr park.” yoongi greets and jimin nods his head and is like good morning sir “morning, jagi” yoongi’s a little more quiet with you because he doesn’t like to show off his soFt side in front of too many people because then they won’t fear him as much ://// but jimin is an exception
he swoops down to give you a kiss and then he’s moving past you to make himself a cup of coffee
you said you’d bring it to him but that was like 10 minutes ago lol whoops
it’s just utter silence as yoongi stirs his coffee
the only thing you can hear is the occasional clink of his spoon against the mug
before he leaves the break room he turns around to face the two of you and is like ….you may continue and he shuts the door behind him and then it’s all AHHHH YOU’RE GETTING MARRIED OH MY GOD OF COURSE I’LL BE YOUR BRIDESMAN
yoongi smiles to himself and shakes his head
#i love thiS#this was adorable#i'm proud of my brain#ceo!yoongi#ceo!yoongi drabbles#bts imagines#bts smut#min yoongi#min yoongi smut#min yoongi imagines#yoongi#yoongi smut#min yoongi fics#yoongi imagines#bts#bts writing#bts fics#yoongi fics

Fan Fiction Ask Game
@suchatinyinfinity tagged me some time ago, and since I really couldn’t decide which ones to answer to, I took all of them! Yes, I really did. Worry about me... This is going to be a long post, so I’m putting everything under the cut and tagging some of my fellow writers at the bottom. I also am going to answer with all of my fics and not only one of them, that way you can get more perspective.
Thank you for reading!
A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?
I’m not going to answer about how I named one fic, I’m telling how I usually name my fics. Most of them get their titles if I listen to a song and it has a nice name or a line, sometimes I read quotes or just think of a word and taste it for long enough to decide could it be the title. Sometimes I read the piece before naming it and decide a line it has as a title; this can be seen in most of my drabbles. The title can be found. With my current series Aura, Of New Beginnings, You, Dark Passion Play and I’ll Make a Man Out of You; they either got their titles from the names of the characters, aspects of the story or songs.
B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?
Actually, You. Not all of it, but most of the first chapter is. I took some artistic freedoms to describe some things but it indeed is inspired by my very shitty day during last December. Some of my friends know about this, it was horrible. But the young man at the stoplights (who looked really different from Ben but still) still inspires me very much.
C: What member do you identify with most?
Member... This question confuses me, all in all. I identify with a lot of things and can really tell you as soon as someone tells me what kind of a member this question is searching for haha.
D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?
I don’t really do playlist for my stories, I listen to whatever I feel like. Sometimes I want to listen to one specific song during one scene. It really depends.
E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?
I’m bad at sequels. And most of my fics are not even ready, aka they’re series that will go on and on. But! One fic that possibly could have a sequel one day is Irresistible. It’s one of my favorite pieces of my own fics and it would be fun to see did the reader really catch him or not ;)
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
“The knife?”
“That was Reep…”
“The apples?”
“No, I didn’t touch your apples…”
“Someone ate them while I was picking up those flowers I gave you.”
Caspian shook his head, still humming his laughs.
“Apples don’t walk away, Caspian!”
He showed you his hands as if he was surrendering. “Maybe not, but it wasn’t me.”
You pouted. “If you have to say it, you’re not telling the truth.”
“Maybe you didn’t have any apples with you on that day? I don’t remember seeing any.”
“Yeah, because you ate all of them. I was away for ten minutes!”
“Okay, I just might have eaten one…”
King of Thieves, Caspian/Reader
I think this is really sweet. I had so much fun writing this and it can really be seen, I think. I’ve always struggled with real-like dialogue, as I’ve told countless times before, but I think that with this drabble, it became quite real after all.
G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
It depends, really. I usually write from start to finish but if I suddenly get a scene in my head, I write it down. It’s easier for me to write from start to finish, that way I can stay on track and don’t lose the balance of what I’m doing.
H: How would you describe your style?
Someone once said I have noticeable style, something that is... part of me. I guess I like descriptions? I use a lot of adjectives and different kind of sentences; long and short, both to describe and rhythm the story a little. I also like beautiful words very much haha. My style may be a bit dreamy and I like to go slowly more than quickly. Sometimes I speed things up a little, only to tell the more meaningful parts but all in all, I think I describe more than use dialogue.
I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
Haha! I truly do have! Especially in writing. I love to use quotes and song lyrics in my stories as dialogues, parts of them. It’s really funny for some reason. When I read, I don’t think do I actually have a guilty pleasure. Hmm... I don’t think I have?
J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].
Goodness! Well, ok, let’s take Irresistible again...
Billy either left without leaving a single note or... Maybe he didn’t leave at all? I almost wrote that he stayed but... Then I thought of the note and I let that come to the story. Well, we can always play ;)
K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?
Something that had to do with Billy having to kill the reader either because the death was inevitable or because he had been told to. I’ve tried to think of this but as I have felt a bit bad myself, writing angst hasn’t really been on the top of my mind right now. Maybe one day?
L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?
Sometimes more and sometimes less. I often read it twice; once right after reading and then I let it be for a moment, I got to eat or take a shower or play with my cat for a while and then come back to read it. You kind of become blind to your own text; I still have typos, I’m not saying that but it’s easier to see everything that needs to be corrected or revised before posting. Once or twice, usually.
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?
Not more than I will never probably get it done because I keep getting stuck haha!
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
Not at the moment. Even though, I always love to see people writing something I’ve talked about with them.
O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?
The plot, usually. The characters come with it. While writing fanfiction, I kind of have some characters “ready to use”. The reader creates itself. I try to describe them as little as I can, so everyone can relate to them, which is why I go with the plot and not with the characters. But with something like Aura I try to get the plot with the character or the other way around.
P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)
I’m more like “one rose is my whole garden” type of person. I make some plans and write down some important plot points but for me, planning the whole thing from chapter to chapter and all the way to the ending kind of means it’s written already. Then I don’t even write it. So, I try not to let my ideas die with something like this but every time I get some important plot points in mind, I write them down because I’d forget them otherwise.
Q: How do you feel about collaborations?
I have nothing against them. Collabs are just fine. Although, they can get a bit hard, can’t they? You need to have very profound talks about what you want to write and what should happen and all. It can get stressful. But it would also be very interesting thing to write! I’ve actually talked about one of these with one person once.
R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
Sure. And I think that to be a writer, you have to have influences. You know what I mean? To see different ways to do some things and how the person X does this thing - but the person Y does it differently, so I’ll do it like this. You know what I mean?
The people I’m going to tag (also the one that tagged me) all have some kind of influence on me, in good.
My favorite writers, I’ve tried to learn something from them. Stephen King, Marcus Zusak, Joël Dicker, Tolkien, Rowling, Lewis, Wynne-Jones, all of them.
S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?
I’m not good at this trope thing anyway, I think. I don’t even think about them too much. But, you know, I just opened a list and I definitely can say that there are some I reallyreallyreally like hahah!
Shapeshifting is always nice, all kinds of AUs are really close to my heart, crossovers are fun, timetravel, fix-it is my go to... I have quite a lot of these!
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
Hmmmpf... I don’t like to say I don’t stand something, these are just things I’m not exactly a fan of.
I’ve always been bad at anything that has to do with comedy (I’ve only recently learned to live and watch comedy films, I used to hate them a few years back), so maybe... crackfics? Ok, good crack makes me cry my eyes out because I’m laughing so much but it’s pretty hard trope for me.
I’m also either so decent (or at least try to think I am, which is a lie, I’m far from it haahah) or old-fashioned that I’m very bad at PWP as well.
U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
@padfootagain she writes so good fluff! You can always trust that whatever she writes will cheer you up - and I often read her fics if I feel a bit down. She’s also one of my closest friends.
@something-tofightfor I love her way to tell the stories, her characters. I enjoy her style a lot. And she is also very cute human being.
@banditthewriter quite a lot like with the previous. I like the way she develops her stories and characters and always gives us something to wait for. She also seems so nice and genuine as a person. We don’t interact much but I still appreciate her a lot.
V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?
Whoa, this is hard... This is really hard because most of the fics I read already tell the stuff I’d tell in prequels. Maybe sequel... To @padfootagain‘s A Recipe For Love, to see the life of Caspian and the reader. But I don’t even dare to touch that masterpiece!!
W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
Both are fine. I like prompts a lot, they help me but sometimes they also set me a trap haha! I tend to use more general ones myself and I’m fine with that. But if I find a list of some more specific ones and find it inspiring, why not?
X: A character you enjoy making suffer.
WHAT?? I hate to make any character suffer!! Ok, I’m a mascohist so maybe a bit but... No, that tells that I like to make the reader suffer? Because I’m not a sadist (even though, some of my friends might say so, they always say I’m killing them, so...).
Y: A character you want to protect.
Caspian. Ryan Brenner. Steve Rogers. Billy Russo. Yes, you read right - Billy might not need my protection, but I’m doing it anyway. Paul “Jesus” Rovia is my dearest and I’ll fight for him. Tom Ward. Magneto. Athelstan. Sirius Black. Sam Winchester. All my actor babies. There are so many of them, they’re all my babies, I want to protect all of them!! (Logan, don’t look at me like that - yes, I’m protecting you too.)
Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate?
... I hate the fact that every time I watch a movie or a show or even read a book, it’s 100% sure that my favorite character dies. Or if not 100&, then at least 85-90%. But, the happy thing is that most of the characters are not killed in fanfiction! I can read deaths, yes, but... They’re not nice things to read. I can also write deaths, still not my fave things to do.
Want a list of these characters? Sirius Black, Billy Russo, Logan Delos, Kili, Fili and Thorin, Steve Rogers or any of the Avengers (don’t come at me, I know we all have been thinking about this)... This list could go on and on.
Tagging: @padfootagain @jennareedus @carol-damn-vers @something-tofightfor @dylanobrusso @suchatinyinfinity @whostheblondegirlwriting @loriwrites @breanime @princerussoand everyone else who wants to do this. Sorry for the double tags.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day Fifty-Five: Say It Again ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi ] [ SasuHina, blood, death, suicide ] [ Verse: Best Years of Your Life ] [ AO3 Link ]
“Say that again!”
The blunt, muffled sound of a fist landing squarely in a gut seems to echo in the shocked silence. By now, a sizable crowd has gathered, everyone looking on in morbid curiosity as the pair of brawlers block up a side corridor. A few look concerned, but aren’t brave enough to step in. The rest gawk in awe, a few making wagers on who will come out on top.
On one side, an unremarkable teenage boy. Blood dribbles down over his lips from an obviously-broken nose, bruises already blooming under his eyes like a tanuki. Mussed brown hair matches his weary gaze, clearly on the receiving end of the beatdown.
The other is a boy of some repute: Sasuke, younger Uchiha brother. At the moment, a fervid, almost feral look overtakes his features, dark eyes wide as he stares at his opponent.
“I said say it again, you piece of shit! SAY IT!”
But before the fight can get any worse, the crowds part for an approaching teacher. “All right, that’s enough...break it up.”
Taking that as a cue, a blond manages to grapple Sasuke from behind, holding back his arms with a grunt. “Leave it, Sasuke! You made your point!”
“You ever let me catch you throwing that bullshit around again, I’ll kill you! Hear me? I’ll -!”
“Can it!” Naruto cuts in, stopping his threat with a jerk of his arms.
“Sakura, take this one to the nurse,” Kakashi drawls tiredly, watching as the student does as asked. Even now, the target of the onslaught stumbles dazedly down the hall behind her.
“...what on earth was that all about?”
Still huffing angrily through his nose, Sasuke just stares at the adult with a look that could melt steel.
Realizing he’s not getting an answer, Kakashi sighs and simply offers, “Detention. Tonight. My classroom.”
“...he hit me first…”
“Well, hopefully the school officer will heed that,” is the dry reply, watching as he is indeed hauled to the administrative wing by the on-duty officer. “The rest of you, please make your way to class. This is a school, not a circus...believe it or not.”
Slowly, teens begin to disperse, a few still trying to crane their necks for a look. Scowling, Naruto is among them, gaze unreadable as a girl approaches him.
“Are...are you all right, Naruto?”
“Yeah...m’fine, Hinata. It’s not like he hit me or nothin’, just…” A hand gestures in vain. “I dunno what set him off, but boy was he pissed. Royally. I missed the beginning...had to wait for Kakashi to distract him so I could get a good hold.”
Still looking concerned, Hinata lays a hand on his arm. “Well...you better get to class.”
“You too. See ya around.”
Watching him go, she lingers a moment more before taking her leave.
After the day is done, however...she finds herself in a bit of a pickle. Standing outside Kakashi’s classroom, she hesitates to knock. That morning, she’d arranged to take a make-up test for one she’d missed earlier in the week due to a doctor’s appointment. But now she’s not sure if she should go in.
Sasuke might already be in there, and...she doesn’t want to interrupt.
It’s no secret that the Uchiha is a troublemaker. He’s been in his share of fights, and honestly Hinata’s not sure how he hasn’t been expelled yet. Beyond that, she knows almost nothing of him personally. He’s her crush’s best friend, but...otherwise, he’s a stranger.
Steeling herself, Hinata takes a breath...holds it...sighs, and then knocks.
“Come on in.”
Doing as asked, she peeks around the door. “Uh...Mr. Hatake?”
He looks to her with a blank expression for a moment before brightening. “...oh! Hinata! Test...right. I’m sorry, I forgot.”
“That - that’s okay! Should I, um...reschedule?”
“No, no - you’re fine. Tell you what: just settle there in the back and take the test. Sasuke’s not here yet, but...he’ll just be dealing with me. Pretend we’re not here, and...well, I’m sure he’ll do the same.”
After a brief hesitation...she does as asked, receiving the packet and taking a seat in a rear desk. At first concentration is a bit hard to manage, but soon enough she finds her rhythm.
At least, until the door opens.
Peering up sheepishly, she sees him come in, followed by the school officer. The adults exchange a few words as Sasuke slings his bag to the desk most opposite her: front, far side. He doesn’t even look at her.
As Kakashi moves, Hinata ducks back to her test, doing her best not to listen, but...well, it’s sort of hard not to. The classroom is otherwise empty, and totally silent. The heat isn’t even running.
“So...wouldn’t tell them what happened? Going to make defending yourself a little difficult, isn’t it Sasuke?”
There’s no reply.
Kakashi heaves a sigh. “...look, I figure I can make a good guess, given the context. Who was he bad mouthing? You? Your brother? Your parents?”
She barely hears him heave a curt breath.
“...you can’t give every asshole you meet a beatdown,” Kakashi goes on quietly. “Believe me, I know how infuriating it is.”
“You don’t know a damn thing.”
“I’d explain if you’d give me the time of day.”
...silence.
“...I lost my father to suicide when I was very young. Younger than you when you lost your parents.”
The double bombshell jolts Hinata so hard, she breaks her pencil lead against the desk. Quickly flushing red and hoping that wasn’t heard, she clicks the mechanical utensil and keeps writing.
“Everyone thought that made me the butt of the joke. I heard it all. And I’ll admit, I was just as rough and tumble as you. Only difference was it only carried on until middle school. Then I lost my best friends. One right after another. And I realized...that trying to shut everyone’s mouths with my fists was only going to get my knuckles split, and my ass in trouble. The opinions would never change, no matter how angry I got. And it’s the same case here, Sasuke. You suffered a tragedy. And kids are evil little whelps sometimes. They’ll use that against you. But the only thing you’re giving them is more ammunition. I know it’s bitter to swallow that down. I do. But you need a new outlet before this lands your behind in juvie. Or worse. And I don’t want to see that happen. Okay?”
Sasuke doesn’t respond, keeping his chin atop folded arms.
“...just think about it. I know I’m not your father - I don’t have lecture rights. But I was just like you. I lived it. I know it. And I figure someone might as well learn from our mistakes, hm?” A hand claps Sasuke on the shoulder before moving to sit at his desk.
An hour later, Hinata finishes her test. There’s a nervous glance to Sasuke - who hasn’t moved - before taking it up to the front. “Here, I’m done…”
“Ah, thank you Hinata. Glad you could come in and get this wrapped up.”
“Thanks for letting me...n-not every teacher allows make-ups.”
“Well, better late than never in my book,” he assures her.
She can’t help a small laugh at that - Kakashi’s tardiness is legendary.
“Well, get on home then - back to it tomorrow. I hope you’re not behind on the homework?”
“No, I’m fine.”
“All right then.”
Leaving the classroom behind, Hinata moves to her locker, lost in thought as she slowly gathers the textbooks and notebooks she’ll need for take-home work. She’s focused enough to jump at the sound of a door.
Sasuke, apparently, has been let out.
Giving him a startled glance, Hinata quickly redirects her gaze as he moves to his own locker. She...never realized his was this close. Moving to quickly finish up and give him his privacy, Hinata freezes as he speaks.
“Hey.”
Almost lurching, it takes a moment to look his way. “Um...y-yeah…?”
He stares at her with the same dead-eyed look she normally sees on his face. But now...she has more context. He lost his parents...and it sounds like he still gets harassed about it.
In that case...honestly? She hardly blames him.
She knows - well, in half a sense - what that’s like.
“Do me a favor.”
“...uh -?”
“Don’t tell Naruto what Kakashi said.”
There’s a small jolt. “Of - o-of course not! Why would I -?”
“I know you guys are friends, and…” He trails off, staring into the metal cabinet. “...he doesn’t need to know.”
“I...w-we’re not that close, really. I just, um…”
Another glance at her as she flounders.
“...I don’t...know if we’re really...friends. But no, I - I won’t tell him anything.” A nervous hand tucks hair behind her ear. “...I won’t tell anyone.”
“Good.”
“Sasuke, I...um…” She hesitates at his stare. “...I’m sorry you had to go through that - I lost my m-mother when I was little, and -”
“I don’t need your sympathy.”
She flinches as he cuts in. “...I know. But...I just want you to know that I - I understand. To a point. And if, er...if you ever need someone to - to talk to, then I can -”
His locker door slams, startling her so badly she half-collapses back against her own. Heart racing, she watches him go, bag thrown over his shoulder as he stalks back down the hallway.
...maybe she overstepped her bounds. She’d just wanted to offer him a little help! But...well, it seems he doesn’t want it.
...she tried.
The walk home is uneventful, as is homework. Social media is filled with talk of the fight - even videos (shaky and grainy) are plastered all over her feeds. Disgusted, she closes them all before collapsing atop her bed. Those jerks…!
But rather than let her temper get the better of her, Hinata just rolls over...and calls it a night.
Her father says nothing about it the next morning, and she doesn’t offer. The less he knows about school, the better in her eyes. Instead, she makes the walk in silence, alone, as per usual. She’s early, as always, taking her time at her locker to sort through her schedule and supplies.
But then she notices something out of place. A spare paper, folded, at the bottom...did someone slip it through the slats? Picking it up, it’s unfolded to reveal a small, scribbled note.
Lunch period. Stage.
...does...someone want to meet her? But...why? She doesn’t recognize the handwriting...who on earth…?
The curiosity nags at her all day, checking the clock far more often than usual as she waits for midday. Only once they’re released to the cafeteria does she detour to the school’s stage. Typically it’s used for hosting the drama club’s plays, or choir concerts. It’s crowded with chairs, props, risers, and a piano: dark as the curtain remains drawn. Cautiously stepping around as not to knock anything over, she almost has a heart attack as someone says her name. “W-what -?!”
It...it’s Sasuke…?
Clutching a hand to her chest, she wilts in relief. “You...you s-scared me!”
He doesn’t apologize, instead looking to her blankly.
“Were, um...were you the one who left me the note?”
“Yeah.”
A pause. “...do you...need something?”
After another bout of silence, he sighs, lifting a hand to itch at the rear of his head. “I...wanted to apologize. For what I did yesterday.”
She doesn’t reply, not sure what he means.
“...you...you tried to help me, and I just...stormed off. I didn’t really listen. I was just -” Sasuke cuts off, looking unsure. “...it was rude. I’m sorry.”
“It, um...don’t worry about it. I...I know you weren’t in the best mood or anything. I don’t blame you.”
“...still.”
Another silence blooms between them.
“...I know it might not be what you want, but...I-I meant what I said. Yesterday. About...talking. If you want. I know you and Naruto are good friends, and...well, I’d like to help.”
“...you like him, don’t you?”
She startles, going a bit pink.
“...good luck with that. He’s an idiot, and he’s got eyes for the class pet.”
“I...I know. But...still. He’s a good person. So...if he’s friends with you, that means you are too.”
Sasuke snorts, looking a hair amused. “Whatever you wanna tell yourself.”
“I’m serious!
“...say it again.”
“I -! Wait...what?”
“Say that again.”
Hinata blinks, a bit confused...before brightening. “...you’re a good person, Sasuke. I...I really do believe that. So…”
Another round of quiet, and then he sighs, head bowing. “...go eat your lunch. I’ve wasted enough of your time.”
“But...what about you?”
“I’ll be right behind you.”
For a moment she’s torn, but eventually acquiesces. Something tells her he wants some time alone. Lingering won’t help. Still, as she goes through the line, Hinata can’t help but think back over their conversations...and Kakashi’s. Maybe, just maybe...they got through to him. Just a little bit.
She’ll have to wait and see.
Whoo, this got long! And...wasn't at all what I intended when I started, haha! I wanted it to be canon and take a whole other route, but...it just kinda plotted its own course as I went. But hey, it works! Sasuke isn't taking anyone's crap who dares talk poorly about his family. And as someone who lost her mother, Hinata can relate...if only in part. But sometimes all a person needs is a little understanding, and a listening ear. Hopefully she can lend him just that! But yeah, that's all for tonight! We'll be back at it again tomorrow - thanks for reading!

Say Something - Kate x Will (MC)
A/N: Just a fluff/angst one shot about Kate O’Malley and my male MC, Will. This story is pre Veil of Secrets, back when they were roommates at Hartfeld. This is not my best work but I am stuck. I still hope you all like it. Thanks.
Tagging: @thatspicegirlssong, @indescribablechoices, @femmeshep and @bowful. If you want off the tag list, please let me know. Thanks!
Weekends at Hartfeld were not particularly exciting for Will. The one thing he had to look forward to was catching up with everything he had learned over the week. He tried to revise as quickly as possible. Because the minute his roommate laid eyes on him, she was sure to drag him into doing something "fun". 'Why does everyone at Hartfeld party so much?' He used a yellow highlighter on a line in his Media Ethics notebook. That point was of... "Hey Wiiilll?" Will's hands stopped moving. Kate was calling to him... from the bathroom. He cleared his throat and called, "Yeah?" "Could you be a sweetie and get me a towel, please? I forgot" He sighed and called back, "Be right there" This wasn't new. Kate was... a free spirit. She practically paraded around the rooms half-naked. He had thought he would get used to it by now, it being their second year living together and all. But a rush crept up his necks and into his cheeks at the thought of Kate waiting for him in the shower. 'Pull yourself together!', Will scolded himself, 'That is so inappropriate' Trying not to think of warm jets of water drizzling over Kate's body, Will grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom. He knocked on the door and immediately turned his back to it. "Towel", he said, holding it behind him. The door clicked open and a warm, heady scent of exotic flowers and soap wafted out. It smelled so fresh, his eyes closed in bliss as he took it in. It smelled like Kate. "Why are you standing like that?", Kate asked. 'Oh shit. Don't look back. Don't you dare look back' Will replied, looking straight ahead at a wall, "Like what?" Kate giggled from behind him. She said, "Are you trying not to look at me?" "Of course I am" "You can look..." "What?" "Nothing. Thanks for the towel" He was speed-walking away even before she could shut the door. With some deep breathing, Will had managed to take his mind off Kate and her shower. He opened his notebook again. Stretching his legs on his bed, he leaned against the wall and read. He was barely past two lines when he became aware of the enchanting smell again. "Don't mind me, Mr. Peabody. I'm just looking for the earrings Makayla lent me", Kate said. Will looked up at the sound of her voice, and his heart stopped. Then it started beating so fast he feared the entire campus would hear it. Kate had sauntered into the room wearing a pink towel and nothing else. Beads of water clung to the skin on her arms and her lithe legs. He could see nearly everything. The sloping curve of her breasts, the dip of her lower back above her butt, the freckles on her shoulders. 'Oh sweet Jesus' He quickly averted his eyes and pulled the book up to his nose. Did she seriously have no inhibitions walking around like that in front of him? "Where did I put it?", Kate stood right in the middle of the room, a finger tapping her lower lip, "Where did I, did I, did I?" Will closed his eyes and hoped for mercy. When he opened them, he found Kate climbing onto the bed, right between his legs. "Hey, whoa!" "Sorry", she stood up on the bed, smiling down at him, "I just remembered I put them on your mantle" Her legs were spread apart as she stood, the part where her thighs touched being right in Will's face. He turned his head to the side, stammering out a string of words. "W-wh-why would it be on m-my mantle?" "They are gold. I couldn't keep them with my other earrings. You know how I keep misplacing stuff" He pressed himself against the wall as Kate's tantalising presence grew closer. "Um... I'm pretty sure they are not on my mantle" Kate dropped down to her knees between his legs. She leaned forward, her hands on Will's thighs. She blinked and he couldn't help but note for the infinite time how long her eyelashes were, over those sparkling eyes. Kate leaned closer, asking him, "No?" He wheezed, "No" Kate stayed there, her knees almost touching between his legs. Will looked away as her towel scooped low, revealing soft cleavage. She pressed her fingertips into his thighs, backing down and off his bed. He watched her bend over by her nightstand, and immediately looked away again. "Found 'em!", Kate announced. "Great", he said. Will pulled his legs closer and sat up straight. Despite of knowing he wasn't going to be able to focus on Media Ethics now, he opened the notebook and forced himself to read. Kate asked, from the other end of the room, "Will, what colour bra should I wear for hosting movie night tonight? This, or this?" He didn't take the bait, kept his eyes focused on the page. He said, "For the hundredth time, Kate, I'm not going to help you pick out the colour of your underwear" "Ugh. Sometimes I wish you were gay. Maybe then you’d care about what I wear" "Stereotyping" "Sorry, Mom. Anyway", she said, "I'm going to wear this red one tonight. Imma go change. BRB" She left for the bathroom, prompting his eye-roll. 'Great. Now I'm gonna have that mental image in my head all day' When it was time for movie night, Will welcomed their friends in. He even greeted Charlotte's new girlfriend of the week. She gave him a dismissive glance before heading straight for the couch. "Hey man", Yan clapped his shoulder, "Where's Kate?" "She's baking cookies for us. Some new unicorn flavour thingy she found online", Will said. Charlotte's girlfriend, René, snorted, "Cookies? What are we, five?" Will would have retorted but Kate came in, greeting everyone in her loud, happy voice. She hugged their friends like she hadn't just seen them a day before. He loved that about her. Kate had so much love to give. Sometimes he wondered where it all came from. "Hi, new friend!" She hugged René, who returned it half-heartedly. Will headed to the kitchen to check on the food. "Where are you going?", Kate pulled him back by the arm, "You didn't get your hug" He just shook his head as she wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her back, allowing himself one sinful whiff of her shampooed hair, then let go. Kate was looking up into his eyes and smiling. "Why don't you start the movie and I'll bring out the food?", she said. He teased her, "So domestic" "Ew, no" He grinned, watched her go, and turned back to their guests. René looked fit to eat her words. Kate had laid out a whole array of tasty snacks on the table. Mozarella sticks, pizza rolls, beer, salted peanuts, and pink-purple, white chocolate chip cookies. "Kate? I. Love. You", Neha said, stuffing her face with a pizza roll. "I'll take compliments in the form of spa coupons, thank you", Kate winked. Will was the only one to realise Kate had no place to sit. The movie was about to begin. He started to get up, saying, "Come here. You can sit..." Kate pushed him back in his seat, between Yan and Neha. "Don't be silly. There's plenty of room for everyone", she said. He had no time to retort before Kate turned her back to him and settled herself on his lap. 'This is the night I die…' Will's breath seemed to be stuck in his throat as his mind registered Kate's presence on his lap. He looked about, embarrassed, but his friends had their eyes stuck to the TV screen. René already looked bored. Will tried to say, keeping his voice low, "Uh... Kate?" "Oh sorry. You can't see", she replied. His chest heaved as Kate's bottom brushed against his crotch while she moved on his lap. She put one leg on top of another, sitting sideways now, and put an arm around his neck. He was... bamboozled. Every sense of his was under attack, overwhelmed. His nose could smell nothing but her princess-y perfume. His ears rang with the sound of her laughter. His skin tingled everywhere it came in touch with hers. His gaze rested on the lovely curve of her cheek, which he oh so desperately wanted to kiss... 'Kate O'Malley, you're going to be the death of me' "Bathroom break!", Yan announced. "Geez, man", Neha made a face. Charlotte's attention was entirely on René. Will managed to wrench his own attention away from Kate when she finally got off his lap. "More beer?", she asked. Yan called over his shoulder, heading to the bathroom, "Hells yeah!" Kate went back into the kitchen. Will relaxed, somewhat. In his mind, he was thanking his brain for not diverting blood flow to his nether regions. Kate sitting on his lap was reason enough, but his body had complied with his silent prayers. "O. M. G.", René snorted again. Will watched her break her gaze away from the kitchen door. He asked, "What?" She smiled to herself, "Huh" Now he was getting annoyed. She had been nothing but disdainful all evening. "You can share", he said, an edge apparent in his voice. René began, as if she had been waiting to all evening. "Is she serious? She got dumped by Lola like two days ago and she's acting like nothing happened? That's rich, even for Kate O'Malley" Neha said, before Will could speak, "What do you even mean?" René said, "Um, Kate's getting a skank reputation? Like she doesn't care about someone after she sleeps with them? Don't tell me you haven't..." "First off, René, shut up", Will said. René looked like he had thrown a drink in her face. Charlotte intervened, "Will, what the hell?" He ignored her and turned to René, doing his best to contain his fury, and to make sure Kate wouldn't overhear. "Lola is just another sad excuse of a person who doesn't deserve Kate. She's not even worthy of being the dust under Kate's feet. Now I don't care what everyone is saying, because I know what Kate is. She's the sweetest, funniest, most beautiful woman I have ever known. And she has a heart big enough to love people who don't deserve it. So if you hear anyone talking about Kate like you just did, please let me know. 'Cause I have no qualms about giving a piece of my mind to people who have anything bad to say about Kate" The room was quiet as a graveyard. Kate walked in, clearly having heard everything. Will got up and strode over to her, his heart aching at the way she looked at everyone. "Kate..." "René!", Charlotte exclaimed, "Baby, come on" Will heard their door slam and Charlotte yell at his back, "Thanks a lot, Will!" Kate called, "Charlotte, I'm sorry! He didn't..." He heard the door slam again, and Yan's low whistle. Kate wouldn't look at them anymore. She mumbled, "I need a minute, guys. Sorry" "Kate..." Will followed her into the bedroom. One of his weakest moments that he could remember was the first time he had seen Kate cry. He was quite sure now that she might be crying in there, so he steeled himself. He tried his best to ignore the pain he felt in his heart at the mere possibility of her crying. His hand rested against the closed door. He didn't knock. He called softly, "Kate? It's me - Will" "Come in" 'If she's crying, don't you sympathy-cry again' He opened the door and peeked in. Kate was sitting on the bed with her back to him. Will closed the door behind him. "Can I have one evening without drama?", she said. He walked over to her bed and sat down, maintaining a distance on purpose. Kate turned to him, and he exhaled in relief. She wasn't crying. 'Thank god' "I'm sorry", he said. She waved a hand dismissively, said, "It's not your fault. Honestly, I'm not even mad at René. It's not like I haven't heard that before" "Come on. That's not..." "It's fine", she turned to him and took his hand, "It's really fine. I'm just living my life the way I want. People have a problem with it? They can suck it. I'm not bothered" He traced her knuckles with his thumb, smiling, "That's the Kate I love" "Do you?" He smiled wider, "Of course I do. You're my best friend" Kate smiled too, but he could only see sadness in it. She looked down at their hands held together. "Best friends... You're my best friend too, Will" "Lucky me" Her hair had gone a bit askew, a strand falling over her forehead. He gently tucked it back behind her ear, fearing it might poke her in the eye. Before he could withdraw his hand, Kate pressed her face against it. He damn near melted from hearing her hum and seeing her close her eyes, seeking comfort from his hand on her face. Kate held the wrist of that hand and pressed a kiss to the palm, smiled at him. 'Jesus Christ, Kate... I'm not worthy. I'm not the prince you want. Not yet' Like wrenching his heart out of her reach, he pulled his hand back. On impulse, Kate leaned forward and hugged him tight. That broke all his resolve. Will wrapped his arms around her small frame, clutching her to his chest. He could feel her heart beat right against his own. Much to his grief, it sounded like the perfect duet. Kate said, "I love you, Will. You're my favourite person in the world" He said, his voice huskier than before, "And you are mine" They were so close he felt her breath catching in her throat. She whispered, "I am" As much as he would have loved to spend the rest of the night - hell, the rest of his life - holding Kate, he knew he had to let go. He didn't trust himself to not blurt out something stupid that would ruin their friendship. Kate did it before he had to. She rested on his lap, her arms around his neck, and her face smiling down on him. "Someday", she said, "You're going to make a girl really, really happy. She will be what you deserve. Smart, mature, profesh. The lucky bitch" 'I want you. No one but you' Will just gave her a deprecating smile. He tucked the hair off her shoulder, his fingers lingering along the auburn strands. "You ready to see the rest of the movie?", he asked. "Yeah" "Let's go then" They held hands as they got off the bed and walked to the door. Will felt a tug at his hand as Kate stopped behind him. He turned to her. "What's wrong?" She wouldn't answer. She just stood there looking at him, like he had never seen her do before. Kate kept opening her mouth, trying to get the words out. Will encouraged her. "What is it? You can tell me anything, you know that", he said. Kate shook her head in despair. She said, releasing a shaky breath, "Thank you. For what you said to René about me" He smiled, pulling her to his side. "Anything for you, Katie-bear" She smiled back and lay her head against his shoulder. And they walked out, holding on to each other.

in which i react to the chatzy because replies are hard:
Edward and Isabella try to solve their Jessica Jones dilemma
yah the dilemma being that she sEES THROUGH YO SHIT U 2
it goes on like this for a while.
“Honestly, Jessica Jones has been irritating me for weeks.”
you’ve talked to her twice. and texted once. AND U INITIATED 2/3 OUT OF THESE
There was nothing Edward hated more than getting struck in the face.
sucks to sucks snek. ALSO U R SO MELODRAMATIC SHE DIDNT EVEN HIT YOU HARD OMG SHE COULD LITERALLY CAVE IN YOUR SKULL IF SHE WANTED TO U GOT OFF LUCKY OKAY
“But soon you won’t have to. I can promise you that much.”
do u wanna die edward nygma. do u.
Jessica Jones had crossed a line.
gurl. jessica jones crosses lines like its her goddamn job
She had listened to her drunken ramblings, and offered her help, and politely asked her to stay out of their lives.
pulling out receipts: “Oh, I’m so glad I could help you. Do me a favor and please stop texting Edward“ -- such polite sarcasm. write the next miss manners ok. also, u sat down next to her and ur offer of help only came after you insulted her a lot.
This wasn’t his fault, after all.
kilgrave made him do it
she didn’t want the other woman dead.
“Well, that’s your choice. Drink yourself to death.” r u sure isabella u seem confused
If he proposed murder, she had another idea up her sleeve, but she wanted him to lead.
just casually accepting that her boyfriend might propose murder. BUT JESS IS THE CRAZY ONE OKAY. also, isabella, thought u werent a sidekick
I need more information on her before I can start plotting something. She can’t get away with hitting me, or toying with our relationship though
from cheesy bond villain to five year old to ‘casually insisting we’re in a relationship even tho we never talked about it’ -- the faces of edward snekma
No one was allowed to hit him like that. No one was allowed to publicly embarrass him.
everyone needs 2 hit you okay. how bout u calm down. it was an empty park in the middle of the night, public only by technicality
Where Edward’s rage was fiery, and his every word burned with anger, Isabella’s fury was glacial and restrained.
i have nothing funny to say here, this is just a beautiful image
“She has shared a lot with me over these past few weeks. I know about her past.”
R U FUCKING KIDDING ME ISABELLA JUST HO W DARE IM S CREAMING I CANNOT HANDLE THIS WAHT THE ACTUAL FUCK
bonus:
cold and triumphant.
bitch u aint won nothing yet. unless u triumphant that u a bitch
despite his anger for Jessica, he felt a warm fondness for the woman in front of him. She was a force. Intelligent – enough to keep up with him but not quite at his level. He respected and adored that. She was gorgeous as well.
when u wanna plot revenge but YOUR GF IS JUST SO DAMN HOT
“Isabella, do tell me what she’s shared.”
did u intentionally phrase this as a COMMAND and not a QUESTION because I’M SHOOK
She wanted to knock Jessica Jones off her moral pedestal, and show the other woman that she had chosen this. She had chosen Edward.
MORAL PEDESTAL HAVE YOU EVER MET JESSICA JONES SHE IS THE HUMAN EQUIVALENT OF A GARBAGE CAN, SHE TAKES BRIBES, BREAKS INTO PEOPLE’S HOUSES, AND HATES BUBBLES. WHAT KIND OF MORAL PEDESTAL IS THAT. HER MORAL PEDESTAL IS A WHISKEY BOTTLE
also uh huh sure u did bby u keep telling urself that this is allll ur choice
Killing the guy who had hurt her had clearly damaged her
jessica was damaged long before that shit, u have no idea
“Well, she’s a murderer”
okay u have some idea ALSO WTF HOW DARE. YOU’RE JUST GONNA TAKE THIS AND DROP IT IN LIKE YOU’RE MENTIONING THE WEATHER?? WELL, IT’S SNOWING. WELL, DON’T FORGET TO PICK UP THE MILK. WELL, SHE’’S A MURDERER. AND ALL WHILE SITTING ACROSS FROM YOUR ACTUAL MURDERER. WHO YOU LIVE WITH.
and then u take a sip of tea, i fucking did u just
i can see why ed likes u UR BOTH SO EXTRA. SNEKTRA.
back up:
Isabella met Edward’s gaze and couldn’t remember what it had been like to hate him in that all-consuming, festering, corrosive way. Now, all of her rage was directed at the woman who had dared to insult her by suggesting that she’d been controlled, who had the audacity to hit him.
had the goddamn balls to hit him more like. also, look at how isabella is aware that she’s transferred her anger from ed to jessica, but doesn’t see this aS AN ISSUE. bc when you have to twist your moral viewpoint enough to see your abuser/murderer as the love of your life, everyone else who doesnt accept that viewpoint becomes the enemy
“I think that’s why she turned to alcohol. His death really weighs on her conscience. She was lying on the sidewalk, drunk, when I last saw her.” She wrinkled her nose in disgust. “I think she’s homeless, too, which may come in handy.”
listen we dont talk about jessica jones’ alcoholism okay we DONT. especially when our name is hissabella. & fuck u, she was tired ok. ALSO SHE HAS A HOTEL ROOM OKAY SHE ISNT TOTALLY HOMELESS
A murderer she said. Well, there was tons of things he could do to her now. Tons of games and traps he could set up with that theme in mind. She thought she was all high and mighty but she killed just as Edward had. She wasn’t so different from him at all.
u strangled your girlfriend, chopped her up, murdered the guy who caught you burying the body, and before all that you murdered your girlfriends previous boyfriend bc u thought u were a white knight.
jessica killed her literal stalker/abuser because he was more dangerous alive than dead and still feels haunted by it every day. she spent weeks avoiding that exact option. totally the same
Edward was making a life for himself, he was moving on and redeeming himself to society and then she came with her high morals and smacked him right in the face with it. Now it was coming out that she was a hypocrite.
u were thinking about killing a woman who bruised you two minutes ago. also, you killed a woman and framed the joker, like yeah, totes reformed. rather be a hypocrite than DELUSIONAL. high morals omg, she just asked u not to be a dickhole to the woman u murdered
“Oh, dear.” He purred.
jfc edward i cant with u
“Oh, did he ever want to torture her for believing she was better than he was... She couldn’t better herself and be a productive member of society. *
how do u start a paragraph wanting to torture someone and end it believing that you are a better asset to society omfg
“Isabella… I can’t believe people just tell you all of this. God you’re… incredible. I bet that you can get information from anyone you please! With ease.” What an asset she would be to the Riddler.
and to this diiiiick (im so sorry, but its sami & sophies fault for getting shippy in the middle of THIS. MURDER-PLANNING & CHILL JFC.
Watching Edward think was a genuine privilege, and Isabella smiled as he took in her information.
r u goddamn serious right now, o h m y g o d
that Isabella was stupid and easily manipulated, and controlled
jessica has said exactly none of these things.
There was a new cadence when Edward spoke, a chilling note that she had never heard before, and it sent a pleasant shiver down Isabella’s spine.
ew. ick. BAD TOUCH.
He was right, of course. Jessica Jones was a hypocrite, projecting her hatred of the man who had hurt onto Edward. They were nothing alike.
right. nothing. not at all. except that you’re both victims of horrific traumas who got the chance to face down their abusers and who feel haunted by memories and cant get in cars, sure.
“Hypocrisy, thy name is Jessica Jones,” Isabella replied, smiling.
y r u like this
“Oh my, thank you, Edward,” she said, unable to keep the happiness out of her tone.
THIS IS A MURDER PLOT NOT A 1950S SITCOM
I can get more information from Jessica, but I would have to lie about you. I’m sorry.
i just. i cant. how did u go from pointing a gun at this man to apologizing for potentially lying about him in the future in order to help him get revenge on another woman who did basically nothing to you???
Reaching after she did and taking her hand. He saw her reaching hers out as an invitation for Ed to hold hers.
holding hands, talking about revenge, the perfect couple
It would be beneficial for us if she is to believe we are not in cahoots at all. Give it a little time to cool off and then go to her – crying, preferably. It would be easier to work against her if she trusts you.
firstly, ed becomes a cartoon western villain at the beginning of this sentence. also COMMAND, COMMAND, COMMAND. but sure isabella, ur in total control here, as you let ed tell you every little thing to do
You said this man was terrible to her? Probably an abuser? Dig up information on what he was like by speaking to her. I’ll try and find files on him or any information at all, really. I want to get his voice down pact. A perfect imitation.
NO NO NO NON NO NO NO NO ONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
DO NOT DO THAT DO NOT HOW I JUST I HAVE ACTUAL PHYSICAL PAIN READING THIS BIT
He smiled, almost cruelly at what he had in mind. They could bring this man back to life in her memory and torment her easily with him. Rub who she had killed right in her face so she knew that she was not the moral woman she wanted to believe she was. So she was reminded by what she had done.
ALMOST CRUELLY. ALMOST. BECAUSE THIS ISN’T THE HELL JESSICA ALREADY GODDAMN LIVES THROUGH EVERY GODDAMN DAY. L O L. ALMOST.
They were together on this. Holding Edward’s hand like the affirmation that Jessica hadn’t broken them, the way she’d planned to.
but he’s taking the lead, bc hes cute when hes being a patriarchal bastard. also, ‘planned’ gives jessica jones way too much credit. her plans suck way worse than this.
judged Edward to some insane moral standard that didn’t even allow him to defend himself.
YOU MEAN THE MORAL STANDARD OF DONT KILL YOUR EX GIRLFRIEND AND MAKE HER FEEL LIKE YOU RUINED HER LIFE ONCE UPON A TIME??
As she thought of all the chances she’d given that woman, every offer to help her, Isabella felt the righteous anger freezing her veins again.
again. u met twice. talked 3 times.
It would be a fascinating character study. A chance to observe Jessica’s reactions to emotional stimuli in a controlled environment.
what the ever loving fuck isabella when the hell did you fall this far YOU’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT OBSERVING AN EXPERIMENT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT DESTROYING A WOMAN’S LIFE FOR THE LOLZ
And Isabella was a very adept liar, and she didn’t often get to put that skill into practice.
UR ALSO A VERY ADEPT SNEK hissabella. krisssssten
say that I’ve cut you off.” She held his hand a little tighter when she spoke, to reassure him that she wouldn’t dream of doing that.
gag. look how desperate she is -- trying to convince him or herself hmmm?
“We can make her think he’s come back from the dead! I’m proof that’s possible, after all.”
have i mentioned that i fucking h8 u omg
“How are you so perfect?”
at this point, the chatzy devolves into a shippy shippy shipfest. they stop plotting like 80s villains and start acting like a 50s couple. they decide to move in, but isabellas sleeping in the guest room, wink-wink. and then there’s these two bits:
Was he not reformed?
… He would do this one thing. Torture Jessica, then he’d go back to the normal, bland life he had been fighting for, for five years.
you sound thrilled about that idea edward.
How had she ever thought she could live without Edward? She had been pieces of two people, disconnected and fragmented, but orbiting her life around him was pulling her together again.
when isabella first got to starcity, she was alllll about making a life for HER. a life outside of what ed & oswald & the court did to her. and now, she’s filled the holes in herself with bits of him and let him take over her whole life
they were both trying so hard to make new lives, but the second this old flame came back, they threw themselves on the fire
