WHAT IS THIS CHOICE

[respectthepetty]

Grandma deserves three grandsons!

I caught up on the last three episodes of The Rebound before the finale, because I'm excited to see how this ends (the court is in Ryu and Zen's colors, so they will at least advance to the finals)

But all's I really know is each one of these color-coded boys deserves TWO color-coded boyfriends.

They all have two hands!

I know this is the love story between a "Nobody Cares" Blue Boy and a "Be Kind" Yellow/Orange Oddity.

But my Green Guy with yellow over his heart is the perfect middleman because he is sad and pushy but respectful and kind.

And he clearly likes Zen so much since Zen's yellow pops up around him often.

But so does Ryu's blue!

For heaven's sake, he is wearing (and riding) Ryu's blue!

And when Ryu and Zen are having their cute couple's moment outside the store, there is a green bike just chillin' next to them!

When Ryu and Zen are having the longest heart-to-heart during what should be a standard thirty second timeout, they are standing on green!

Atom is in this relationship with them. HE IS LITERALLY IN THAT BED RIGHT NEXT TO ZEN!

Grandma deserves three grandsons, each boy deserves two boyfriends. AND ZEN IS THE CENTER OF EVERYONE'S WORLD!

Once again this is a story about Ryu and Zen which is why their colors show up everywhere like the locker room shelves.

And their colors are the light poles on the dunk tanks, BUT Atom literally showed up too to help them!

The lanyard Zen wears at work is his and Ryu's colors, yet somehow looks like it morphs into Atom's green in the middle.

Ryu has picked up Zen's color.

And Ryu has gladly given Zen his color.

But even when Ryu goes to see his blue (bitch) mother [I wrote what I wrote]

And that giant red X appears

Yellow and GREEN back him up with the division between them!

Because Zen and Grandma have done so much to make Atom and Ryu happy and in response, Ryu and Atom would do anything and everything to make sure Zen and Grandma are happy!

They rush to the hospital to take care of Zen and Grandma (note that Atom has on a BLUE jacket!)

And even with the barriers between them, they both openly acknowledge the other one is a good partner FOR EACH OTHER! They were talking about how they are good partners on the basketball court FOR EACH OTHER!

And it's true! At the 3-on-3 tournament, the court is lit by their colors: yellow on the bottom left, blue on the middle top, and green on the bottom right.

Even when they they are actually playing as R.A.Z on the court sponsored by RAIN|BOW and ALL THIS, there is blue and yellow, and green is peeking out in the bottom right corner.

Because normally everything about basketball is only Ryu and Zen's colors.

But Atom is part of their story now because all of their colors are there!

And even though the first game of the 3-on-3 tournament started by focusing on Zen's situation and Zen's color.

They won the final game with all three of their colors on that scoreboard.

So I am praying that the final acknowledges the special bond these three boys have! If Atom rescues Ryu to make Zen happy, great! If Ryu and Atom finally hug, great! If they all go off to college together, AMAZING!

But as far as I'm concerned,

THEY. ARE. CANON!

xxxii. your embrace

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ─ your embrace.

❛ now i need someone to hold be my fire in the cold ❜

Choi Yumi's Perspective

"The kitten's grown."

The moment those words left my mouth, I wanted to slap myself really hard. I had been waiting outside the Jagam High Music Club for what felt like an eternity. Each passing minute felt endless, but I endured through my impatience because I wanted to see Kim Taesung. I wanted to sincerely apologize for every thoughtless word I said to him. And when I finally spotted him feeding the kitten on the sidewalk, looking just as gorgeous as ever, all I could say was "The kitten's grown?" I had never acted more stupid in my life

He turned to look at me, and his eyebrows raised in curiosity seemed to fall and his expression changed. His eyes look blank and lifeless, reminding my of the future that I had recently witnessed. He focused his gaze on the ground, as if he was trying to distract himself.

"Oh, it's you."

His words seemed to break my heart in a split second. My mind recalled all the moments I had spent with him in the past. His witty remarks, his humor that was slightly rude, were all vivid in front of my eyes. But now, all that was gone, replaced by a grim, cold boy that I barely recognized. That side of him that only I seemed to know had disappeared, and it was all my fault.

He stood up, facing me now, and my stupid heart began hammering against my chest.

"I- I wanted to say... that I'm sorry," I mumbled out. Another internal slap. That sounded completely insincere. Like someone had forced me to apologize. What was wrong with me? Where had all my communication skills gone off to?

Choi Eunyoung's Perspective

I pushed the door as I entered the swimming pool area as quietly as I possibly could. Immediately, the smell of chlorine hit my nose and the still, cool air that hung over the entire room sent a shiver down my spine. I closed the door behind me, making barely a sound as my eyes scanned my surroundings. There was a wall on my right, and a door on my left leading to a locker room. All the windows had been closed and the only source of illumination was from some dim lights put up on the walls.

I had run into Inhyuk while I was about to meet Sunjae at his house, who told me that Sunjae had gone to the swimming pool because he apparently "left something there." The statement brought an inexplicable anxious feeling that tightened my chest and I came to the school swimming pool as quickly as I could.

A soft sobbing sound fell upon my ears that grew louder as I moved towards the source of the sound. Then I saw him. Sunjae. He was sitting right at the edge of the swimming pool. legs crossed and his head in his hands, crying softly. My raised eyebrows and curious eyes morphed into a face of unwelcome realization. My heart seemed to crack and shatter the longer I watched him. Swimming was everything to him. And all of a sudden, he had to quit. When I thought about the amount of pain he must have been in, it made me want to scream and curse at his fate. I felt that same tightening feeling in my chest as I approached him slowly, mindful of the wet floor.

Ryu Sunjae's Perspective

I felt a pair of arms gently wrap around my shoulders. The action was sudden, unexpected; Especially because no one was around when I checked; But strangely, instead of resisting, I found myself melting into the embrace. A part of me knew. That it was her. With hesitation, I lifted my head, my face wet with tears as I heaved another sob and looked at Eunyoung's face that seemed to reflect the pain I felt inside.

"Eunyoung," I breathed out, my sobbing stopping momentarily, "I was-"

"You don't have to explain," she assured me, her own voice sounding choked, as if she was holding back tears. She was kneeling on the wet floor behind me, her arms clinging onto me, as if she was afraid to let go. All my pain seemed to suddenly disappear in that moment as my face began feeling warmer and butterflies seemed to take flight in my stomach. Her touch sent chills down my spine every single time.

She closed her eyes tightly, as tears spilled out of her eyes. With each drop that cascaded down her cheeks, I felt my heart break. She pulled away and sat facing me while trying to blink away the tears in her eyes. "Sunjae, I," her voice faded away as she tried to compose herself before speaking again. As her hand reached up to caress my face, I felt my heart skip a beat. Choi Eunyoung what are you doing to me?

"I never want you to be in pain. It hurts to see you like this, Sunjae. You never have to feel like you need to bottle up your feelings. Because I'm here for you. And I always will be."

The moment she said those words, I couldn't help but pull her into another embrace and burst into tears. My arms wrapped tightly around her waist as I sobbed into the nape of her neck. I felt the surprise in her body, but instead of pushing me away, her hands rested lightly on my head, caressing my hair with a kind of care I had never felt before. I didn't know how much I needed to hear those words, because they seemed to reassure me in ways that I had never felt before.

Then, at the perfect time to ruin the moment, there was a crashing sound outside. Both of us jumped severely as we slipped because of the wet floor and plunged into the pool that was barely inches away from us. The second that the cold water hit my body, soaking all my clothes, I felt my hands reaching for Eunyoung, who was struggling. I held her shoulders tightly as she steadied herself. My eyes scanned her as I asked frantically, "Are you alright? You aren't hurt or anything are you?"

Her widened eyes seemed to stare at me for a few moments before answering, "No... I'm just a little shaken," her nose crinkled up, "And I think some water went up my nose."

I chuckled at her adorable expression. She's just too cute, I found myself thinking.

"Let's get out of here?"

"You don't have to ask me twice."

[ryukang1995]

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe counterparts/matchups

Superman = Raiden - The ultimate defenders of their worlds. Superman is like a god while Raiden is literally one...well, before New MK1 came along.

Batman = Liu Kang - The greatest human defenders of their respective teams...at least before Liu Kang became the Fire God. Both are expert martial artists and have an animal motif going on (Liu Kang has a dragon theme while Batman's is self-explanatory).

Wonder Woman = Kitana - Warrior princesses from other worlds. Depending on which version you're going with, they also have close relationships with Batman and Liu Kang.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) = Kuai Liang (Scorpion/Sub-Zero) - Members of councils who often share their mantles with other figures in the canon (Hal is part of the Green Lantern Corps while Kuai Liang is a member of the Lin Kuei clan, and later the Shirai Ryu clan in New MK1). Green Lantern's ring and Sub-Zero's ice often function similarly with both of them being able to create practically anything with them.

The Flash = Kabal - Super speedsters who often can be snarky.

Aquaman = Rain - Royal figures who are hydrokinetic and can manipulate the weather.

Deathstroke = Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpion) - Top ranking assassins who left behind their families from previous lives.

Catwoman = Sonya Blade - Arguably the most recognizable female characters besides Wonder Woman and Kitana, they're often on opposite sides of the law since Sonya is a Special Forces agent while Catwoman is a burglar. They too have close relationships with Batman and Liu Kang (mostly in my works based on MK, and even in the Jeff Rovin novel).

Dick Grayson (Robin/Nightwing) = Kung Lao - The partners/sidekicks to Batman and Liu Kang, they too are skilled martial artists.

Cyborg = Jax - African-American males who are cybernetically enhanced.

Starfire = Li Mei - Female fighters who can fire plasma/nova blasts. They also have close relationships with Dick Grayson and Kung Lao (at least in my works based on MK).

Raven = Ermac - Figures who use telepathy and dark magic.

Beast Boy = Nightwolf - Characters who can morph into animals.

Shazam = Fujin - Godly figures who are somewhat connected to Superman and Raiden.

The Joker = Kano - Psychopathic criminals with a penchant for knives and a twisted sense of humor.

Harley Quinn = Mileena - Seductive yet playful and twisted femme fatales.

Green Arrow = Kung Jin - Archers who are also skilled martial artists.

Black Canary = Sindel - Authority figures who are also mothers and have ultrasonic screams.

Blue Beetle = Takeda - Young heroes who have an insect motif.

Booster Gold = Johnny Cage - Egotistical celebrity heroes.

Katana = Kenshi - Japanese fighters who wield swords that have the souls of family members trapped in them.

Sinestro = Bi Han (Sub-Zero/Noob Saibot) - Darker foils to Green Lantern and Kuai Liang who used to fight for good until they became villains who invoke fear.

Killer Croc = Reptile - Sideshow freaks with a strong reptilian theme.

Lobo = Baraka - Deadly otherworldly beings.

Bane = Goro - Behemoth fighters with a level of intellect. They also have pivotal roles against Batman and Liu Kang (while Bane broke Batman's back, Liu Kang defeated Goro to become the Mortal Kombat champion).

Doctor Fate = Shang Tsung - Sorcerers.

Lex Luthor = Quan Chi - Power-mad and intellectual villains.

Darkseid = Shao Kahn - Tyrannical rulers bent on conquering worlds.

That's all for now. I did leave some characters out, but these are who I could think of at the moment. If you view them differently, it's all good.

Hello I want to request headcanons for Ryu, Hokusai, and Reo's first kiss with their lover please

hello! thank you for requesting. i had fun writing these out — first kisses are so sweet. i hope you find enjoyment in reading. take good care. ❤️

note: gn. reader

genre: romance/fluff.

characters: ryu natsume. hokusai masaki. reo maruyama.

ryu:

unpredictability is a trait true to his being. nothing is set in stone when it comes to ryu’s actions, for fickle is his behavior and his games. you are used to this, adore him for it, even when plans with him go awry. what was supposed to be a seaside date had morphed into an all out splash war, with ryu the obvious winner thus far. it took what little resistance you had to hold your ground, much too busy laughing at your boyfriend’s antics to fight back.

the sand sunk beneath you, warmed by the sun and softened by the lulling waves of the sea. ryu requested your aid in building a soggy sand castle each time the water pulled back and away for a moment. busied by the task, you’d missed the way ryu was watching you closely, fingers picking at the edges of his shirt with unusual solemnity. he hadn’t spoken in a while; what was wrong? his hands wrapped around yours, gripping warmth and damp sand before the words formed in his mind. “can you give me a kiss?” ryu asks, voice small and quiet, entirely unlike himself. “on my mouth, like lovers do. is it okay?” you’re caught off guard, his shy new and somewhat bolder than his usual demeanor. you cannot speak, but nod instead, to which ryu turns a bright sour red in response.

he is stone still when you brush your lips over his. ryu does not fidget or tremble, only shutting his eyes to anticipate a kiss, the first of its kind with you. it’s over in a second — but he notes the sweetness of that pressure, of your gentle lips like snowdrops on wintergreens. he is still when you pull away, but his eyes open wide when he hears you laughing bashfully. “did you like it?” you ask, “would you like another one?” it is that simple question that sends fireworks about his flesh, his bones to crackle and pop. ryu jumps to his feet and pulls you along the sea’s shore, splashing and kicking up seasalt clouds. “again, again!” he laughs, demands it from you. and when you kiss him again, he tastes of seafoam.

hokusai:

modesty, simplicity. hokusai is not a picky man, nor fickle or stubborn. he enjoys what he likes, and what you like, too. he is agreeable, some say to a fault, but they do not know of the love his heart carries for you, they do not see how joyful your beauty is to him. even if it’s at the apple orchards you’ve waited all season to visit despite cold still biting at noses and ears, hokusai wouldn’t dream of being anywhere else unless you asked. plus, he was tall and strong, the perfect one for picking all the apples you wanted.

basketfuls of apples made it back to your home, where the two of you meticulously cut and sliced and snacked on dozens of labored fruits. some were melting with brown sugar on the stovetop, along with a squeeze of lemon to set the jam. hokusai was focused on stirring very carefully, although he would have preferred helping you peel the skins off apples to add to your compost bin. he wanted to see the visiting snails. “hokusai, look this way.” you said from blue’s end. he obeyed, sleepy eyes landing on yours. with a swipe of a finger, you dusted sugar specks across his bottom lip, catching him surprised. it made you laugh. “what a sweet kisser you’ll be.” you teased, a purpose laced somewhere behind those words. hokusai’s cheeks went warm. “kiss…” he murmured, shying away. “can…i give you one? please? but…like a boyfriend kiss. like one with…our mouths.” he whispered those last words so softly, you strained to hear it. but you only laughed and hugged him close, too glad to oblige him.

he had to bend down to kiss you. just in the slightest, or maybe inches more. nevertheless did hokusai chase after your lips with an energy not seen before, his mellowness melting away once your mouth met his. you giggle against his sugar sweetened lips, amused by his eagerness, and by this giant of a man turning to pudding by a simple kiss. he is sweet and homey, like a taste of autumn’s harvest. hokusai is breathless when you part, as are you, but he insists on another despite your concern over the bubbling jam forgotten. “so cute,” he says, hugging you close and closer. “cutie. kiss me a lot from now on, okay?”

reo:

he is as high maintenance as boyfriends come, but sure, he makes it up by being absolutely, super-duper cute (as he claims). reo craves your attention at any and all times. per his usual types of dates, he is appeased with cozying up in your lap and keeping you all to himself, made better when you agree to marathon shows or games he’s into. reo wants nothing more than you, with him.

it’s some sort of romance show he’s interested in, mostly because his favorite actress stars as the lead. you’re more than happy to oblige; her performance is swoon-worthy. you both watched, enraptured, by slowburn stares and longing words exchanged between what you hoped would become the main couple. “they’re totally gonna kiss!” reo squealed, squirming in your lap. “finally!” you shushed him, even when both your elated laughs sounded in unison. and when they finally did, the two of you hopped around hollering with joy. his rosy eyes take you all in — your great big smile, your crinkled eyes, the warmth of your hands clasped around his. he noticed your lips, too, their lush softness and touch, and in a moment decided he would be brave, too. “honeydew, let’s kiss like them!” reo exclaimed, innocently as could be. he ignored how wildly his heart beat, especially at the sight of your shy disbelief. “i wanna give you kissies, too! pretty please?” he even gave his cutest pout to seal the deal. he knew it worked perfectly when you gave a long sigh, the kind where your lips turned up into a smile by the end of it.

he’s much more nervous than he wants to admit. when his lips meet yours, it is with a touch too much force, teeth clicking together from behind quivering, smiling mouths. but you do not stop him. you cup his face, hold him steady, letting reo press sweetly against you lips. the noise of the television blurs into white behind you, staged romance already forgotten. reo finds you softer than whispered words of static; silently, he thanks his favorite actress for inspiring him to be brave. when you pull back, he is pink and peach with love, already pecking at your cheeks for more. “lovely, kiss me more! let’s practice again and again!”

Novel by Xaria Ryu

chapter one

GENESIS

Brief: In the opening chapter of 'Cursed Shores', we're introduced to a world brimming with challenges – a cityscape plagued by the consequences of unchecked super-powers. Keitaro, navigating a hazardous environment, seeks refuge in a bar, surrounded by a populace drowning their sorrows in a daily struggle for survival. As the night grows darker and the rain starts pouring mercilessly, we witness a mysterious encounter, a brief yet intense confrontation, and a glimpse into the Keitaro's internal struggles. We are then taken to a basement filled with aged books, where a complicated dynamic with Haruki, is explored. The chapter ends where stage is set, not with grandeur, but with a quiet intensity, inviting us to a world where survival is an art and secrets lurk in the shadows.

CHAPTER LIST:

chapter two: FLAME

Chapter starts below the break: keep reading! :)

Monsters, genetically modified plants trying to kill us all, abuse of power that leads to massacres and wars or incurable diseases, would all be perfectly good and logical reasons as to why I am plastered at a bar scanning for someone who might know a way off this island. The people here are nearly all understandably drunk out of their minds, none of them able to live their daily lives for longer than a work day. Children darting between tables without supervision, while lurking hazards stand poised to exploit even the slightest misstep. The place is loud, save for the moments when someone gets too reckless with their curse and gets dragged off the premises. The silence that washes over the room feels like a cold blade threatening to slit your throat. At least to anyone with something to hide. Once that is revealed, you can kiss this hell goodbye and welcome another one right after hours and hours of wishing you were never born. 

Gloves hide my curse, but my temper needs more than gloves to be concealed, and it is rising by the second. The alcohol stench and the soldiers posted up in every corner of the place are not helping. 

“Fresh meat, huh?” a velvety voice asks in a hushed tone standing next to me. 

“Walk along,” I nearly snarl, keeping my head down and not sparing them a glance. Whoever it is does not let up and slides closer to me, alcohol reeking off their person. 

“I know what you are,” they go on, voice sounding almost like purring now that we are standing shoulder to shoulder. With swift movements, I have spun them around, grabbed both their hands and pinned them behind their back under the bar’s edge so no unwanted eyes witness what just went down. It is a woman covered in rain protective gear looking a little younger than she sounded. Former military employee I would assume. No one else could get their hands on anything like that. Half my body covers hers and I tighten my grip around her wrists. 

“Eager to end up in jail I see,” she laughs. Drunk, I make out of her behavior. I will spare her the questioning and I tell her as much until I have convinced her that she is out of her mind. I let her go, leaving her giggling by the bar as I walk out into the neonate night. Cannot risk someone taking her seriously. I would rather have my trial that is barely two days away than get beaten to death in a jail cell. 

With no plan to ever return and risk my identity being outed, I make my way to a place I have learned to love and despise.

♦

The basement, crammed with thousands of books, exudes an icy chill between its shelves covering just a few square meters. I wish slamming the book shut in frustration was enough. Throwing it across the room would be a crime in here. Burning it up into ashes is out of the question, but painfully desired. You cannot win in this dreadful city, let alone the whole Island. Leaving is not an easy feat either. 

The flame dancing between my index finger and thumb, dies down gradually, turning a transparent pastel blue as it gets smaller and morphs into faint smoke. Rather than reigniting the flame, I allow the darkness to envelop me, accompanied by a deafening silence. I sit there by my miserable self until I hear indistinct footsteps grow louder and louder evoking a curse from deep in my chest. I don’t have the patience for this right now. I glance towards one of the shelves. It doesn’t take long for the inconvenience to step into my little corner and lean onto one of the coarse wooden shelves sporting a sad smile. Calling him an inconvenience is wrong on my part but not entirely untrue. I try too hard, way too often to avoid him only to have my night end like this. 

“You okay in there?” he asks after a heavy sigh. His tone is just light enough to come across as friendly. It has been a skill people have to learn to master around me since they know better than to step out of line with me. 

“I’ll need you to keep your mouth shut.” In the weak light that is seeping through the window from a street light, his staple black cap casts a dark shadow across his face at all times so all anyone ever sees is his mouth, which is now shaping a strained line in reaction to my words. 

“Always a ray of sunshine, yeah? I’ll need you to leave. Now.” Too pure for his own good. 

I am a walking hazard to these preserved books. I should in fact not be here in the first place, is what he should say. He is just too nice to say it. 

“Haruki…” I know it is nothing I can say that really helps my case but it is not like me to hold back what I truly feel around anyone either. Be it complaints or hateful remarks. There is not much on the good side of things around this one since his very existence has been a deep sorrow to endure dating back years. The only defense my brain seems to have against that is spite. 

“Light this candle, will you. Can’t see shit in here.” My body temperature and temperament is irregular as it is, but right now I can feel the blood sizzling far beyond its boiling point. He knows better than anyone that riling me up could have dire consequences. None that I will ever be proud of. That should also keep him away from me. Why he lets me stick around is beyond my ability to comprehend. Words do not suffice these days, but I’m willing to bet good fortune that unimaginably mean things would come out of my mouth to someone who’s never truly wronged me. 

After much inner turmoil I decide to light his candle. Haruki had started getting antsy as well, eyes glowing a terrifying dark red shining through the shadow as if ready to strike any second. People might think he is perfect but even he is not immune to impatience. 

“That’s not really your color, Ki,” I tell him under my breath, but still making sure I also don’t cross his boundaries. That nickname is one I gave him when we were just toddlers, playing in the tunnels under the city, both of us, along with a couple dozen other kids, having been strictly told to never show our faces on the surface until we were deemed ready. We were naive souls back then. Not our fault, but we could’ve never guessed what challenges awaited us. 

“What on earth did I do to get you actually talking, huh?” Fake smile or not, it could rival the sun in its brightness, teeth gleaming like the most expensive pearls. In the dim light of his candle the sharper angles of his youthful face get the spotlight. No wonder people idolize him the way they do. It’s almost aggravating how beautiful he is. Sometimes I think holding a grudge towards him for that reason would make more sense. That him always turning heads, getting what he wants all the time and people praising him for damn near everything is annoying enough. Him in his whole casual suit and tie get-up should be annoying enough.

“I’ll leave,” I exhale sharply before I make a fool of myself. While I grab my things I see Haruki’s eyes lose their color and disappear behind the shadow, his smile fading back into a strained line.

“Help me put these books back, Keitaro,” he utters firmly and I get the feeling that he could sense I did not want to be around him anymore. “Please?” The place is a mess and it is too late to argue with anyone at this hour.

I sort the books for him to the best of my ability, just to make it easier for him to put them back on the shelf. They are all old and torn. Most of them are missing pages, some have been found under water so the pages are uneven with the black words faded. Haruki finds this aspect of the library-keeping very intriguing. As illegal as it is for him to keep these books here in this region, he would protect them with his life and he has made that much unmistakably clear for me. He knows this place as well as his own bedroom. Down to every nook, secret passage and whatever people back then decided to hide within the books. Even theft is completely out of the question since he would know within a second if a thought like that appeared in someone’s head.

As we inch closer to being done with the books, my thoughts drift deeper into darker territory, further down memory lane and I once again see how close Haruki was to losing everything he ever held dear. Haruki senses the shift in my aura and makes the mistake of looking up and meeting my eyes. His now gleaming a concerned gray. The candle that he had set on the table lights up the rest of his face. Big innocent eyes asking questions I cannot answer and the burn mark I feared making an appearance from his temple down to his cheekbone. Still covered in angry, deep scars. The work of which I caused.

Until now, the anger I held earlier had started to subside. Now it awakened like a tiger held captive for too long, ready to kill anything that moves. I freeze for a second knowing that if it gets too intense, I am totally in the wrong place. I put the last book into Haruki’s cart to dart out of the library and into the night’s thunderstorm. Before Haruki gets completely out of earshot for me, I hear a barely audible “good night” as an overdue apology is stuck, heavy on my tongue. 

Heavy raindrops fall against my hair feeling cold everywhere it is parted as I make my way off the streets out toward the fields. The houses there are safer since these thunderstorms are constant. Sometimes accompanied with rain and sometimes not. They destroy more in a matter of minutes than what we can build in years, and that’s not to mention the relentless flooding this city goes through weekly. It has been like this for years and years so it is hard to remember what a normal day was like. 

As I approach the coast, a sense of unease washes over me like the tidal wave crashing against the shore. Something is different tonight, as if the air itself is charged with an electric energy that prickles my skin and sets my nerves on edge. It’s eerily quiet and in the distance I hear the whispers of patrol getting closer. Not a good sign.

And then, I see it.

Hovering above a small lonely piece of land on the horizon, a strange craft hangs suspended in the air like a phantom from another world glowing red. Its sleek contours are illuminated by the faint glow of the city lights, casting eerie shadows that dance across the water's surface.

My heart pounds in my chest as I watch in awe and terror, the sound of helicopters cutting through the air like a knife. With trembling hands, I raise my scope to get a better look, my breath catching in my throat as I witness the craft unleash three beams of light that stretch for miles in every direction.

I duck behind a nearby rock, my heart racing as adrenaline courses through my veins. This is no ordinary sighting; this is a warning, a sign that something far more sinister is at play.

As the echoes of the craft's arrival fade into the night, I know that I can no longer ignore the call to action. Whatever awaits me once I am away from this island, I must face it head-on, for the fate of my sister and those I hold dear hangs in the balance. But come hell or high water, I will not rest until I uncover the truth behind this mysterious intrusion and put an end to the chaos that threatens to consume us all...

>>> CHAPTER TWO <<<

[hey-michael-young-history]

31 Days of Christmas

Day 4: Bully

You are nothing, hún dàn.

Kuai Liang frowned as he created an axe with his ice. The cruel nickname bore through his mind from the back of his ear where it had been forcibly branded onto his skin. 

That was not his name. It was not him. 

You never wondered why Bi-Han was never called that?

The darkness provided his tormentor with cover, but the presence of this monster colored his scent with unease. 

Still cannot control yourself, hmm?

A cold metal hand grabbed his wrist. Kuai Liang froze the hand and shattered the entire being, shielding his face from the explosion of cyber parts. 

Another cold metal hand grabbed him. And then another. And more. Grabbing his arms, his hair, his clothes. 

Kuai Liang closed his eyes and concentrated. Concentrated on containing the panic that was inflaming his body. 

Something… was happening to him. 

Pains he hadn’t felt in over twenty years. Pains he hadn’t recognized until the adrenaline of Kronika’s bullshit had evaporated, and Raiden threw him back into the hell waiting for him in the place he had finally come to think of as home.

This wasn't real; it couldn't be real. 

I can’t breathe… something is wrong with my heart. His heart was racing to leap out of his chest. It wasn't just his heart; his skin was restricting him, keeping his heart within his body but trapping his soul. Restricting the ice prickling him from the inside. 

His mind was his only safe haven yet he couldn't face the truth, even there. 

“Say it, Tundra. You are in heat.”

That voice. His voice. Kuai Liang unleashed the ice, not only freezing but completely decimating the cold, unnatural hands holding him. 

“Sektor,” he snarled. “Where have you taken me? You have been dealt with.”

Then he appeared, not as a cyborg, but as a man, a face Kuai Liang had not seen in some time. 

A face that he did not miss. A face that incited absolute rage. 

Kuai Liang ran, but was quickly pulled and restrained by the cold, unnatural hands again. 

Sektor approached, morphing into his cyborg form. “Bi-Han is dead. Cyrax is gone. And your rabid Shirai Ryu dog is nowhere to be found. No one is here to save you now, hún dàn.”

Sektor grabbed Kuai Liang’s face and his human face resurfaced, staring at him with the intensity that only an Alpha could conjure, forcing the worst nightmares to resurface. “I wonder…”

There was a fire behind Sektor’s eyes, a harsh, chaotic hell roaring to swallow Kuai Liang whole. Dizziness buzzed inside of his head as the urge to vomit rose. Kuai Liang was no stranger to discomfort. But this was a plague, a threat, a punishment that long overdue. 

He looked away. 

He could hear Sektor’s laugh. “Still such a good Omega.”

The praise calmed his heart but the fact that it came from Sektor tightened his stomach until he thought it would consume itself. He sank to his knees in an effort to hold on to himself, to hold himself together. But the hands held him firmly in place. 

“Oh, that's right, hún dàn. You always were particularly sensitive to my pheromones,” Sektor mused, turning Kuai Liang to face him. “Enjoy them.”

“You are a stain upon the legacy of the Lin Kuei,” Kuai Liang growled. 

Sektor wrapped his hand around his captive's throat. “Even you know that anyone led by you will meet their demise sooner or later. You should thank me for ending their misery and using them to build flawless creations.”

As he spoke, his pheromones became more and more suffocating. His distinct scent, the unforgiving spice of peppers and the deceptive warmth of cinnamon.  It crawled all over Kuai Liang, covering every part of him and claiming him for someone he despised. 

Someone he didn't belong to. 

“Yes, that’s an excellent idea. Thank me for saving your pathetic followers.” He let go and the hands pushed him onto his knees. “Thank me the way you used to.

The way you did the last time.”

Never. Never again. The last degrading moments he spent with human Sektor convinced him that he absolutely was not human, was not the clever and brave Jing, who would sneak him extra food and tell him stories to help him sleep. 

The moment he went to Cyrax and desperately accepted the medicine that suppressed his Omega weaknesses. 

Forever. 

“Let me tell you a secret, Tundra,” Sektor offered, leaning in close. “I wanted you to be cyberized with me, not Cyrax.”

“N-never–”

“You have already surrendered your body to me, why not your soul? Who else do you think will want you, hún dàn? You are weak, you are a traitor, you are a flaw of nature. That I would even look at you is charity.”

He was lying, he was dead. Kuai Liang shut his eyes as the hands forced him down. None of that could be the truth. He rebelled because he was loyal to the Lin Kuei. It was strength, his strength and determination that rebuilt their clan. 

And he… he wasn't…

A flaw of nature. 

His existence was always resented. A male Omega. He had tried to hide it, tried to disguise it because even being a Beta in the Lin Kuei was better than what he was…

“No matter how strong you think you are, no matter how many pretenders you lead, you will always be good for only one–”

Something was dripping on his head. Kuai Liang looked up to see Sektor decapitated. Not just decapitated but split down the middle, demonstrated by both sides of him collapsing, spraying Kuai Liang with a fountain of blood that drenched him. 

Through the red, he saw Scorpion. 

Hanzo Hasashi.  

Wild and ferocious and untamed. 

He sheathed his sword and was surrounded by a blue flame that radiated from him. He unleashed it forward, burning away the cold hands that bound Kuai Liang. 

Then he stepped forward, a soothing mix of cut grass and wood and smoldering coal. 

“Ha-Hanz–” Kuai Liang ignored the pounding of his head and tried to thank him, but couldn't stand up straight. 

“Sub-Zero?”

Then everything changed. 

It was still dark, but he wasn't in some shapeless void, he was in a room, on a bed. Not his room. He didn't have a bed. 

He was still hot. His head still hurt. And there was no way he could even stand with the undulating cramps rippling through him. 

But that scent… cut grass and wood and fire. That was real, it was here and–

Oh no. 

“H-Hanzo,” Kuai Liang said with a shudder as a cramp forced him to curl up even more. 

The shock and pity on Hanzo’s face. The questions he'd have. The things he could do…

The real nightmare was starting now.

hello!! for the artist asks: 10,11,14,21? 😊

10. What’s that one thing that inspired you to make drawing your consistant hobby?

I'm gonna be honest....I don't remember 😭😭 I majored in art in college. So like my decision to to focus on art was because of the professors. 1 class was graded on a curve and had a prof who boasted about how many kids failed her class. The other? Was about helping students in the areas they're behind in and hone more professional skills.

11. Favorite comment you’ve ever recieved on your work?

Think about this every day.....

14. How has your art changed over the years?

Man....my stuffs always changing tbh. But that's because about like 3 years ago I finally let go of the idea of having a "style" and just started embracing trying out new techniques. For 2 years I only did lineart and when thru 10 bajillion brushes until I found 10 I really loved. And one of those inking brushes eventually became my main painting brush!!!

(I also started focusing on my foundations which is AMAZING btw. When u learn how to build an under drawing u can honestly morph it into any style u want! :D )

21. Weirdest thing you’ve ever drawn?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......big slappy ryu?

Probably not the weirdest but it is my favorite ahaha

[starchild--27]

i was tagged by @artemiss-moonchild and @heartcravings in two different spotify-centric tag games - so i'll just morph them~ i am also high on finishing a book right now, so yeah, it's gonna be long and full of words i have to vomit out now because my brain is buzzing xDD

shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and post the first 10 tracks,

Brand New City by Mitski ~ probably my favourite song of hers, i feel all of her music and lyrics very very much but this song...just hits different i dunno, i guess it is the closest thing i have to describe this restlessness i get sometimes

blue by keshi ~ every single word in this songs gets me and i am kinda giddy bc i bought tickets to his concert as a christmas present for my sister and me, hehe, i'm looking forward to that already ^^

Where We by Ryu Ji Hyun & Kim Kyung Hee ~ part of the OST of the drama Rain Or Shine / Just Between Lovers, it's on netflix, lee gangdu is my poor little meow-meow, i cried buckets and got wayyy more invested in this drama than i anticipated xD

I Don't Even Mind by Chen ~ it's my favourite track of his 3rd album, i like how his voice blends with the instrumental, i love how his voice is so clear, how it kinda floats over the tumbles of the guitar, it's like fog over a little creek

I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace ~ i stumbled over that one by chance not even a month ago, i knew the band existed and what their sound was like but never listened to their songs, so that one is the only one i know and what can i say...a girl feels conflicting feelings sometimes xD

Nothin' by EXO-SC / Chanyeol ~ i am really fascinated by this song because it has so many layers of sound, there is just so much going on on that track, like it sounds calm and spherical and like you are floating through a dark night, but you are driven by an invisible force, by thoughts and voices and echos. this song makes me fearless, it lifts me up when i am on the ground, it grounds me when my head tries desperately to fly away from my body, it was my no. 1 song in my spotify wrapped xD

Charmer by Stray Kids ~ ok this one is less deep xD it's just a cool, very vibey song, it really got me back into Stray Kids this year and wow it seems very unreal rn that Oddinary was a 2022 release o_o

Lithium by Nirvana ~ a classic, some would say. i can play it on the electric guitar so that's cool 👀✨️ to me this song is probably even more "nirvana" as Smells Like Teen Spirit - i dunno it captured their sound really well and i might sound very pretentious now but it is such a Kurt song, i don't know how to descibe it differently xDD

Words as Weapons by Seether ~ and sometimes a girl feels a very stubborn anger against the world and some people who have deep cuts. listening to this song is cathartic.

Universe by EXO ~ doesn't your heart just open up when they sing "I'll search the universe..."?? because to me it always feels like that, like something bright is opening up my heart, ready to search along with them (it's the way the melody just keeps rising, flying across the nightsky on that long high note)

then list 10 songs you really like, each by a different artist.

New Thing by Zico feat. Homies ~ this song... is just really, really cool. so cool. ahh. i love listening to it, it's always over way too soon xD

saudade, saudade by Maro ~ my Eurovision favourite this year, haha, their whole stage presence was so whimsical, they remained my favorites from start to finish. i just listened to the song a lot afterwards. the soft desperation in it is just everything, really.

505 by Arctic Monkeys ~ screaming crying throwing up about everything in this song. the musical built up, the breakdown, the lyrics - just ahhh everything about this song makes me go feral, especially the breakdown. i think i rarely show as much of myself to other people as i do when 505 comes on and i'm screaming "but i crumble compeltely when you cry"

Slump by Stray Kids ~ sad bop in three languages, made by the one and only Han Jisung who gave the sinking feeling you get when you realize you are somehow falling behind depsite your best efforts a sound. musical genius (but also are u ok bro?). anyway, i can do all the rap parts (in english because i am a chicken when it comes to korean let alone japanese and i really don't want to mispronounce stuff) in this song and i don't think it sounds cringy when i do it so that's what i've been up to musically these days xDD

RED by Survive Said The Prophet ~ the lyrics in this one are so great! it has such a raw power once it breaks loose, it reminds me of thunderstorms and a stadium full of people not minding the rain because the live music is just so good and everything fits, lights flashing and bass guitar and drums messing with your gut. it's full of so many different feelings that you sometimes can't tell apart but they make you want to move and run and run until your body hurts more than your heart.

Star Walkin' by Lil Nas X ~ this song is also so full of energy but a totally different kind. it's stellar, it's bright, it's almost delirious, it's testing out how fast you can run before you fall over your own feet, it's chasing the feeling of your stomach dropping when you go a little too high on the swings. it sounds really weird, but my first instinct when this song comes on is not to blink, not one second, because i could miss something at this racing pace. the verses are just floating in space, looking around, taking it all in, whereas the chorus is pure acceleration until the point where there is no more "faster", feeling it might hit anytime now but it just doesn't xD

Forgive Me by BoA ~ it's her recent comeback and i've never really gave her music a listen but i saw the teaser pics being absolutely my vibe so i checked it out and really liked it! there is nothing more to it haha. it reminds me a little of what i also would have loved to see Seulgi do on her solo album but it's not that big - both harmonize perfectly with their respective tracks.

Hurdle by Suho ~ he made theeeeee summer bop with this song, really. gosh, the way i freaked when i first heard this song xDD i took little notes about the Grey Suit album in my notebook back then so i know for a fact i was immediately obsessed with the funky bass line and the voice distortion and how dancable this song is.

Serenity by Xiumin ~ i've said it before and i'll say it again: this song is an early spring sunrise, when you woke up oddly early snd you go outside to catch the first glimpses of sunlight and the dew still hanging on the grass wets the hem of your pants, tickles your skin, the cold wetness seeping through your shoes but then the first rays of light hit your skin and the air is fresh and clear and everything feels better and new, like you have healed a little, like you can keep going with a new burst of energy now. this is how this song sounds like to me, i get that mental image everytime, dark greens and bright blues and even brighter white and yellow hues.

Checkmate by TheBoyz ~ again nothing all to deep besides the fact that this song is a total banger and i just go insaneeee over the whispering and member who-ever-it-is saying "you're never satisfied". my sister likes TheBoyz and she played it once or twice and that's how i know this song xD

list the first 10 songs played from my spotify wrapped/apple replay when shuffled!

Francis Forever by Mitski ~ this one somehow very quietly became my chanyeol-enlistment-song. it's all about missing someone, needing someone/depending on someone's presence, not in a full on desperate way (a little desperate maybe-) but in a way that is just like what the first lines say "I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do with myself now that your not here" kinda like you still need time to figure out how to handle things in the absence of something that has been very present before. it really got to me while Chanyeol was away (yk sorta-away because you really cannot get that man off a stage xD but the feeling has always been different than before) - in the end i think it's a lot about adapting after a change in the way somebody is present in your life.

Daechwita by Agust D ~ i am not the biggest BTS fan on the plant (thank god) but i have a sort of soft spot for their rap line because they simply are really good at what they do, especially yoongi. and daechwita, what can i say, simply a total vibe. i remember how i had this song and Lay's Lit right after on repeat a lot that year, they somehow belong to the same universe xDD Daechwita is all about speed and power and hot rage, Lit is all albout precision and force and a very cold attitude of supremacy - both have this very untouchable and dangerous vibe. they are neighboring kingdoms maybe, very peaceful with each other btw. they just come to destroy them haters xD

Raining by Chanyeol ~ this song it just a biiig loong sigh. it's taking a deep breath and exhaling loudly. the dark heavy piano really is like black paint in an artwork, it really gives the song that heavy atmosphere. then the sax soli are almost complaining, it's whining, it's telling you its story of misery with the heaviest sighs. this also reflects in Chanyeol's vocals, he also has this hint of exhaustion there, this song is just so dramatically done with everything, it just yk wants to have a drink and end this unfortunate day xD on some days i think this might be the best song of the The Box OST because they caught this very moody atmosphere so so well and it's not often done like that in populat music, i suppose (look i probably sound like i know what i am talking about but i really do not- xD)

GOTTASADAE by BewhY ~ again, nothing deep. my bestie sent me the song and was like "!!!! here listen !!!" and i was like "omg!!!!!!!" and then it was on repeat xDD

This Is How I Disappear by My Chemical Romance ~ so here is the thing, i knew about them for a long time but i never had this kind of "emo phase" in my teenage years but when they had their revival tour or whatever this year a lot of people i follow online suddenly were obsessing over them again, and when i like people a lot and they get invested in something, then i want to check that out too. so i listened to their entire discography in one weekend (coincidentally, the exact weekend they played in germany xDD) and This Is How I Disappear was the winner of the little favourite MCR song race i had in my head xD so yeah, i dig their music, especially this song. once again, very cathartic to listen/dance/sing to.

Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ i really like that i got this one on random! because it's the first RHCP song i actively remember hearing, probably in the radio and i was just really obsessed with it (in a way a child can be obsessed with a song it doesn't understand xD) and that just kind of lingered around and i eventually looked up the chords so i could play it on the guitar when i was 13 i think, leading to my dad showing my Californiacation and Under The Bridge and that's when i got more and more into their music in general. another weird fun fact: because i practiced the lyrics very hard back then i can now recite them in absolute inhuman speed, everytime i do it it annoys people to no end but i think it's fun xD

Shutdown by Moonbyul feat. Seori ~ (un)official sapphic anthem, let's gooo. this song is so so sexy in a very soft and casual and relaxed way. i love how their voices harmonize, i love how the melody flows, how you're just drawn into the song from start to finish. this song it somebody touching you very softly, very gently at your most secret, sensitive places. this song is knowing how to have the exact same effect on the other. it's dancing together with the smallest most minimal moves, bodies pressing impossibly close together. i just get this warm, seductive, soft, comfy, sexy feeling from this song.

Free Fall by Øzi ~ i am ascending every time i listen to this song, really. the chorus comes in like the ground beneath your feet rumbling and breaking apart, falling through the cracks. which might sound like a contradiction to what i said in the phrase before. but falling and flying are very easily confused when it's dark and you can't see the bottom. one of my favourite love letter songs <3

Tire Swing by Kimya Dawson ~ the simplicity of this song is so charming, really. it's nothing big, the melody sounds like a children's song but the lyrics tell the tale of the complicated matter that is really liking someone who is just so different from you that it's actually kinda impossible for things to work out well, at least not with anyone hurt. it's part of the soundtrack for the movie Juno (which i really like) and while the teenage romance is only a secondary part of the plot, i think this song was an amazing pick to explain the relationship between these two teenagers that lead very different lives and have to figure out how loving each other works. it's such an easy song and then again it is absolutely not.

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica ~ my dad once told me that metal musicians make the best love songs and then showed me Nothing Else Matteds as proof and, really, i could only believe him after that. i think, this song has had a huge huge influence on what i expect from a romantic relationship. it really shaped my understanding of romantic love to the point where i said (at 13 or 14) in my diary that if i ever got married it would be to this song, and i am still kind of in awe with this thought because that song remains to be very significant to me. how it's about always being together in a way, about sincerity of feelings, about trust, about getting to know the other better day by day and at some point getting to know yourself better through the other, how it's about sharing things openly, about living a life together, about having a companion like that who shows you the world you thought you knew in another light. it's about the enrichment you experience by having a romantic partner, that goes beyong anything sexual which is so often immediately associated with romantic love. and that just really left a lasting impression on me, so it's a fave ever since.

ok. this was long. and very uncalled for lol i am sorry for oversharing like that sometimes i'm just really in touch with how exactly music makes me feel and maybe i'm a little sloppy and a little too much in writing long paragraphs about it oops- ^^'

anywayyy i tag @kafkascupcake @byuns-coco @his-mochi-cheeks @cxsmicmyeon @nvwu @joon-rkive @simplypearing @xuoux @whisperingdoves if you guys wanna (feel free to pick the part you wanna do or simply ignore this tho, i am fully aware that this is a lot of time consuming text, so i won't mind at all xDD)

[mcmcntomorii-later]

Mukuro was already at the verge of tears when she had spoken, but the moment that A-yeong showed her comfort and support, the second that her friend's hand was placed on back and gently rubbed, the floodgates broke。 No matter how many times she'd blink, the way her makeup would get caught in her tears and agitate her eyes more and cause more tears to fall。

When A-yeong's hand was placed on Mukuro's shoulder, Mukuro looked up and really listened to what the other had to say。

The person Ryu would want you to be.

That caused a fresh new flood of tears to wash down her face, and her crying morphed into ugly sobbing, sniffling and gasping as she struggled to get her breathing in control。

She was normally so typically composed but this, in a moment of weakness, looked like a lost child, shoulders shaking as she bit down on her bottom lip to keep herself from letting out loud sobs。 She couldn't talk, because she knew that if a word was uttered, it'd be incoherent。

Mukuro was able to get one little sentence out without a gasp or a sniffle interrupting。

「Can I have a hug?」

CHAPTER NINE ─ silent confession.

❛ drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain. ❜

Narrator's Perspective

Eunyoung, still clad in her school uniform, strode along the sidewalk. Her shoes splashed against the wet pavement like a soft rhythm. She could distinctly hear the pitter-patter of the raindrops on Sunjae's blue umbrella, which she clasped tightly to shield herself from the cool raindrops that splashed against her legs. The rain poured down relentlessly as Eunyoung smiled looking at the unexpected downpour, thinking of the day she and Sunjae ran through the rain, their laughter muffled by the roaring wind. The scene played in her mind like a flashback in a movie. His laugh, his dimple and the creased corners of his eyes, all appeared before her eyes vividly.

Approaching the swimming pool, she heard a hushed conversation over the raindrops. Thinking it was Sunjae, she walked towards the sound, eager to see him blooming in her heart. However, she stopped in her tracks the moment she was in earshot as she heard something she shouldn't have.

"That bastard, Ryu Sunjae, is a superstitious fellow," said one voice, filled with devious intent, "He wears his competition swim trunks the day before the competition. If we hide them, he'll be completely thrown off."

"It can't be that easy, can it?" Eunyoung intervened.

The two boys, who assumed they were alone, jumped in shock on hearing her voice. Realising they were caught red-handed, all they could do at first was stand and stare while wondering how to defend themselves.

"Cat got your tongue?" Eunyoung observed their flustered state, her eyes glaring daggers as she stepped towards them, "I think now would be a good time to run, don't you? Before I get the chance to tell the school what you were up to." They weren't expecting to be seen, considering the odd time at which they were lurking around the school. Afraid of the consequences, the two troublemakers bowed in fear and scurried away.

On hearing the main gate creak open slowly, she rushed towards it, hoping to see Sunjae. To her relief, this time it really was him. His initial surprise morphed into a slow, genuine smile that spread across his face. The relieved sigh that escaped her lips mingled with the creak of the closing gate. Sunjae was at a loss for words; all he could do was call out her name, "Eunyoung?"

"Hmm, it's me," she smiled, stepping under the shelter of the swimming pool building. Her hand stretched forward, holding the umbrella over his head, "I thought you might need this."

Ryu Sunjae's Perspective

My eyes widened as I stood agape, my speech failing me as I gazed at Eunyoung who stood before me, smiling as she held my blue umbrella over my head. She arrived like a ray of sunshine amidst the pouring rain, her face lighting up in a bright smile as she looked up at me. For a moment, the clatter of the rain against the roof of the swimming pool building was replaced by the frantic beating of my heart, which threatened to jump out of my chest any second. Her slightly damp hair fell gracefully over her shoulders. Little beads of sweat trickled down her face that seemed sculpted by the Gods themselves─ had she walked here? for me? 

Seeing her in front of me evoked a feeling of deja vu. I had been here before, speechless on seeing her face the day we first met and ran through the rain. Her sweet voice lingered like an echo, replaying in my mind like an echo, "I thought you might need this." I was unsure if she repeated herself because of my lack of reply or if my mind had replayed it like a movie scene I rewound because it was so beautiful I wanted to see it over and over again.

"Thanks," I breathed out, my voice barely a whisper, just enough for her to hear me.

"Are you just going to stand there all day?" she asked jokingly, "Or do you plan on going home anytime soon, Mr. Ryu Sunjae?"

A slow smile tugged at my lips despite my efforts to conceal it, a silent confession of the effect she had on me. "Shall we, then?"

💿

Choi Eunyoung's Perspective

While Sunjae and I walked under the blue umbrella, I spent most of the time glancing up at him discreetly.  The rain blurred out everything around me but his face, hypnotizing me completely. His features held a captivating contrast─ the clean lines of his jaw were softened by the gentle curve of his lips and his full, slightly flushed cheeks. But it was his eyes that truly stole my breath away. Glassy and clear, they held a depth that had entire galaxies within them. Each fleck of colour, like tiny stars scattered across the irises, shimmered with a hidden light, reflecting a kindness and sincerity that made my heart skip a beat. He seemed to be looking straight ahead, deep in thought.

 Seeing him up close like this, memories of the Eclipse concert resurfaced. The fleeting touch of our fingers that sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach was still clear in front of my eyes. The news that shattered my whole world that night still tugged at my heartstrings as I gazed at Sunjae's face. I was terrified, terrified to lose him and terrified that my efforts wouldn't ever be enough to save him. I wish I could hold onto him and never let go, protecting him from being hurt. I wanted this moment to last forever so he would never meet his untimely end.

Sunjae's father's restaurant came into view as the hammering of the rain had softened to a drizzle. Our synced steps came to a halt in front of the brightly lit building. Both of us lingered there, standing still, slowly turning to look at each other. I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Your swimming competition is tomorrow, right?" I asked him.

"Yeah," he replied, returning my smile with an unexplained warmth.

"I'll come cheer for you," I said, my smile widening at the sight of the dimple on his right cheek.

I want to believe in you, Sunjae. I want you to win the gold medal tomorrow and many times after that.

"You will?"

Ryuzaki snorted morphing and licking jacks face playfully

"Course i will " he mused Emma shaking hee body fur fluffing out an exact small copy of ryus black wolf form axel was more Grey and brown like a normal timber wolf.

💍 (Cuz it be funny xD)

Send me ‘💍’ for our muses to wake up married after a night of heavy drinking

Jack opened his eyes slowly. Ugh.. His head felt like it was about to burst, his stomach felt sore and his mouth was as dry as could be.

The boy curled up and groaned slightly to himself, he could not remember a thing.. All he knew was that this was the last time he would challange north to a shot competition.

Something didn't feel right tho, he could feel there was someone else in the bed... Hold on? Whos bed was this? He rolled over, staring into an unfamiliar face. The white haired boy sat up quickly, only to fall out of bed, noticing that he was naked, instead of one thing, a ring on his left hand.
