peaches (you're the cream of the crop)

contents ౨ৎ ⋆ touya todoroki x fem reader. fluff. slightly suggestive. cursing. ⭑ a series of grocery trips after touya is discharged from the hospital gives you both a sense of normalcy you never thought you’d be able to have again.

monday

“put it back.” he wrinkles his nose as you continue to pick out tomatoes from the neat stack in front of you. “i said put it back.”

you stick your tongue out and tie up the bag after you put the last tomato in, dropping it in the cart he was pushing.

“ew.”

you giggle, he was acting like a little kid.

“touyaaa, you have to eat your veggies to grow big and strong.”

“bullshit. all the brat eats is soba and he’s almost taller than me now.” he grumbles. “and tomatoes are fruits.”

“tastes like a veggie.” your hip gently bumps into his after you walk back to him from the vegetables. “and maybe shoto’s taller than you ‘cause he actually listens to me.”

he rolls his eyes at that, and hesitantly reaches for your hand.

he’s still not used to being with you like this, alone, despite knowing you stayed by his side through countless hospital visits he wished he was conscious for.

but it’s okay because you’re here now, soft skin soothing against his rough, charred flesh. you don’t seem to mind though, not even the fact that he tends to holds you a little more tightly than he used to.

touya doesn’t let go of your hand. not once. not when you went to get a napa cabbage, or when you inspected the peaches on sale for any mushy spots.

or even when he lets you drag him to a stand in the freezer aisle where a nice store employee offers you two samples of gyoza, which was surprisingly good considering it was from a brand you’ve never heard of.

you feed touya his share, his eyes wide as he waits for you to finish blowing on it for him before holding it in front of his lips to eat.

not until you ask “can you go get more bags for me touya?” in that soft voice of yours that turns his knees to jelly, does he even consider the idea of releasing you from his grasp. you ran out when you were getting green onions.

turquoise eyes flicker to you, a hint of disappointment in them. he really doesn’t want to let go.

with a quick glance around, it’s obvious the supermarket was practically empty. which made sense, the two of you purposely chose to come on a monday morning.

perfect.

you use the handle of the cart to push yourself on your tippy toes, taking the opportunity to give him a soft kiss on the cheek.

“please?”

he blinks rapidly, ducking his head down as he barely bites back a smile. you had him wrapped around your little finger and you didn’t even know it sometimes.

he’s always been weak for you.

“‘kay. be right back.” and you can’t help the laugh that bubbles up from your throat, knowing he means it this time.

from now on, he’ll always come back to you. to home.

he quickly returns from his trip to the dispenser roll of plastic bags near the checkout line and promptly dumps them in the cart.

“i changed my mind.” he says as he swiftly slips behind you to hug your waist, catching you in the middle of putting a packet of tofu skin in the nearly full cart. a soft weight can be felt on your hair as his chin rests on your head.

you smile, squeezing his forearms. “about what?”

“….i guess i’ll eat tomatoes.”

“awww, for me?”

“only for you.”

friday

— wild geraniums are rich in flower symbolism. they are associated with love, peace, joy, health, fertility, and spirituality.

it was a warm friday afternoon the next time you and touya go shopping.

the shizuoka prefecture had reached a new high today for the month, a sweltering thirty four degrees, and by the time you two get there you’re sweating bullets.

the cold air conditioning blasts you in the face, cooling your sweat as you’re met with the sight of mothers and elderly women bustling around, carts laden with fresh produce to last the next few weeks by cooking warm meals for their families.

he sighs next to you as the both of you stand in silence, enjoying the breeze for just moment longer.

touya grabs a basket for you, since you’re only planning to grab a few things for shoto anyway. a light pink sticky note rests on the palm of your hand, and he watches as you peer at the youngest’s neat handwriting.

a packet of soba noodles, a new pocky flavor, mousse matcha, that he wanted to try with his friends, and a bottle of green tea.

the two of you are in the snack aisle when he texts, touya too busy examining the ingredients of a box of choco-pie to notice you taking your phone out.

shoto [08:51]

Sorry for the late notice, can you please pick up a potted flower?

It’s for mom.

But don’t let Touya-nii pick.

It’s your choice that I trust.

you giggle at his remark, while your fingers fumble for the pen you know is somewhere.

thankfully, touya saves you by magically pulling it out from the depths of your bag, and places it in the palm of your hand.

you whisper a quick thanks and kiss his cheek. his face goes hot the moment you pull away to scribble on the list in your hand.

‘stop by the plant nursery’ is added to your sticky. it was only a block away on the way back to the todoroki house, so touya and you could just swing by really quick after getting shoto’s stuff. due to lack of a hard surface to write on, your writing was kind of messy.

maybe you should’ve asked touya if you could use his chest, but you doubt the grandmas in the aisle over would approve.

a new notification pops up on your screen.

natsuo [09:03]

helloo my favorite future sister-in-law

can u pick up some fish for sashimi pls

pls pls i got an A on my presentation today

touya leans over your shoulder to read the text and fakes a gag. he never liked fish, and eating it raw? no way in hell.

between the four of them inheriting most of their mother’s likeness (fuck whatever his dad’s weak ass excuse for genes was), you’d think they’d also gain her love of warm dishes like oden and niku-jaga.

as the eldest, of course it was his duty to set things straight and comment on his sibling’s questionable tastes.

you [09:04]

ew

you [09:04]

hot soba is better

mission accomplished, touya proudly hands your phone back to you. you bite back a laugh as you read his texts.

how eloquent of him.

natsuo [09:05]

????????

natsuo [09:05]

BITCH

I KNOW THATS YOU TOUYA

you roll your eyes at the two’s antics and grab your boyfriends hand, leading him to the seafood section.

a wide array of fish was displayed before you, and you take a picture of the ones labeled for sashimi.

you [09:10]

which one? :)

natsuo [09:11]

the salmon !!!!!

you [09:12]

ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ☆

natsuo [09:13]

THANK USOMHCH

I LOV YOU

MORE THANTOUYA

another notification appears as you quickly swipe out of natsuo’s texts before your boyfriend can throw your phone across the supermarket.

fuyumi [09:26]

are you guys at the mart right now?

you [09:27]

we are lol :9

did natsu brag about getting sashimi the moment he got home from his lecture?

fuyumi [09:28]

yeah.

giggling a little, you can almost hear her slightly exasperated tone.

you take a picture of an unsuspecting dabi looking at the frozen steamed buns and he side eyes you after you turn away, already having a sneaking suspicion who you were sending it to.

you [09:28]

touyamakinghearteyesatredbeanbuns.png

fuyumi [09:30]

fatass

you muffle your laughter as touya stalks over to you, swiping the phone out of your hands just as fuyumi texts again.

fuyumi [09:31]

anyways i was going to ask

can you add panko bread crumbs to your cart please?

i wanted make katsudon for you all tonight :>

touya’s types furiously as you hide your face in his chest in a silent fit of laughter.

you [09:32]

only if you take back calling me a fatass, fatass

fuyumi [09:33]

please i’ve hear worse threats from my kindergarteners in the sandbox

you’re almost to the checkout line, before touya stops you.

you don’t even have to take a glance in the direction he’s looking in.

“touya, no.”

“touya, yes.”

he wants to grin so bad but his new staples are still fresh from last week’s surgery.

his mouth settles for a safe pout to win your pity.

unfortunately for him you had an iron will in concerns to his health.

“the nurse said ‘no processed foods for the next thirteen days.’ that includes shrimp chips, dummy.”

your hand around his bicep is firm as you drag him away, and he stares longingly back at the snack aisle.

“where are we going?” he murmurs, the grocery bags that he had insisted carrying in one hand while letting you drag him along in the other.

he makes sure he’s walking on the side of the curb.

you slow your pace to walk beside him and he can hear the teasing smile in your voice.

“to bring a baby home to your mom.”

“okay… wait what?!”

he stares at the potted geraniums in your hands as you exit the plant nursery, eyes flicking up to meet your cheeky grin.

“our baby.”

so that’s what you meant.

you looked a little too pleased with yourself and had somehow gotten a smudge of dirt on your forehead in the process of choosing the perfect flowers for his mother.

he wipes it off with his thumb, and pretends to lick it to see your reaction. your squeals of protest and the way your eyes smile when you laugh make his stomach do a flip.

just like when he met you for the first time.

touya decides anything is worth it as long as he gets to see you make that face. especially pretending eating dirt. fuck the shrimp chips, the only snack he needed was you.

except you weren’t just a snack.

you were a goddamn meal.

he raises an eyebrow and smirks, eyes dancing with mischief as he looks down at you. a firm hand pressed against your belly as he places a painstakingly soft kiss on the spot where the dirt smudge used to be.

“don’t worry.” he breathes. you can feel him smile into the crook of your neck, his fingers caressing your stomach as you squirm ticklishly against him.

“i’ll get you a real one someday.”

you nearly drop the geraniums on his foot.

sunday

today is sunday.

meaning it’s weekly movie night in the todoroki household.

shoto was the one who made it a tradition, after liking it so much when he did it with his classmates. everyone agreed it was the perfect low-effort family bonding activity after a long week.

natsuo just finished taking his finals. you’re relieved not to see him pull anymore all-nighters.

fuyumi’s on summer break. letters from her students written in crayon and covered in silly doodles of her are litter the front of the fridge.

you smile as you pass by it when you’re on on the way to shoto’s room to help him do that little braid he liked on the side of his hair. he was starting to grow it out now.

rei makes sure to volunteer at the local gardening center in the mornings, ensuring her afternoons and evenings are free to spend time with her kids.

enji calls off from work the moment it hits six. his sidekicks at the agency can take care of whatever happens while he’s gone.

touya and you are in charge of buying snacks, and you get everyone’s favorite. after checking out, the two of you head home hand in hand.

you’re snuggled under a blanket with touya. it was shoto’s turn to choose a movie, and the sounds of shrek played as you grew sleepier and sleepier. touya’s warm arms, which had you trapped in his lap, were not helping.

you point at the plate of tuna mayo onigiri on the coffee table. rei and fuyumi had made them earlier while you and him were out at the supermarket.

“remember when you ate so many of those because natsuo dared you to and you got a tummy ache?” he lets out a noise akin to a giggle, and your mouth splits into a grin at the familiar sound.

memories of hot summers sleeping on the floor with the fan on full blast and staying up to see fireflies come flooding back to you.

lying on the roof, you remember him resting his head on your chest while pointing out constellations to you, echoes of shared laughter filling the night air as he’d get them wrong every single time.

the stolen glances at each other between bites of juicy watermelon and soba. his ears turning redder than the slice of fruit in his hands when you catch him staring, the smug look on your face quickly turning into one of concern as he choked on his food and you rushed to pat his back.

in the present, you cuddle up impossibly closer to him, and he shivers as your warm breath hits his neck.

you had really missed this. he did too.

he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of the summer with you.

the rest of his life, too. he wasn’t planning on leaving you alone again, not now, not ever.

with you in his arms, he focuses on the movie, laughing along with shoto as fiona attempts to yank out the arrow in shrek’s butt. he turns to you, a smile tugging at his lips. his hair looks even softer against the glow of the projector.

“would you love me if i turned into shrek?”

you grin, poking his cheek. “i’d miss this pretty face of yours too much.”

"scars and all?"

"scars and all."

he frowns playfully at that despite the butterflies coming to life in his stomach, and leans forward to rest his head against your shoulder. you smirk, catching a whiff of your conditioner. “i knew you only liked me for my looks.”

“shush.” you point at something on the coffee table.

he spots the bag of shrimp chips, not so subtly lighting up.

you must have snuck them onto the conveyor belt while you two were standing in the checkout line when he wasn’t looking.

“i love you so much holy shit.” he whispers, nuzzling into your shoulder.

“i know.”

cue the side eye from him.

you roll your eyes at his dramatics and turn around to straddle his strong thighs, raising your hands to gently hold his face in them.

touya shivers as your thumb brushes against his cheek, your touch sweet like the peaches he shared with you after breakfast that morning.

“i love you too.” you whisper back, just in time before he lifts the blanket up to cover the both of you in the dark as he hungrily leans forward to close the gap between you.

rei’s the first one to notice you two asleep on the couch as the ending credits roll.

she gets another fluffy blanket from the closet to layer on top of the one already on your sleeping forms, making sure you’re both properly covered.

she places a kiss on touya’s forehead, then yours, before hugging the rest of her children goodnight and giving them kisses as well.

enji follows suit, muttering a gruff goodnight to everyone. a chorus of quiet good nights trail after him as he lumbers off.

fuyumi, natsuo, and shoto are the last ones left in the living room.

they smirk knowingly at each other as they see touya squeeze you tighter in his sleep, mumbling something about how lucky he is that you’re his.

something about getting you a ring too.

as the three siblings exit the room, they wordlessly shared one last excited glance before heading separate ways to their respective beds. shoto was especially pleased.

when you started living with them, he could ask you to help braid his hair everyday.

he wants you to teach him when you have the time, too. touya could never get it right like you did when you weren’t here.

at least touya had enough of a grasp on his sense of style to help him pick outfits.

you, obviously, were already a todoroki in all of their hearts.

but they still couldn’t wait for their big brother to grow a pair and tie the knot with you.

shyboy!niki x fem!reader

synopsis: the boy noticed the parcel he received wasn’t his. it was supposed to be drop at the address which he figured would be the house across from his, your home. > PART.2

genre: fluff, fluff, FLUFF!!

please do read part 1 if you haven’t!

“I’ve watch this countless times but I want to watch it anyway. do you mind?” you laid down on your stomach, showing a movie “The Parent Trap.” displayed on your phone.

niki scooted closer, his shoulder brushed against yours when he stretched his neck to get a better look at the familiar looking movie. “this is my favourite movie.” his lips formed into a smile, his eyes darting all over your face and brought his attention back to your phone.

“I could say I’ve watched it thousands of times too but y’know, it’s nice to watch it again with a nice company.” your gaze soften as you watched him talk, noting your heartbeat accelerated over his words. his bangs swayed, getting comfy as he rested his face on his palm and his cheek got squished slightly.

you held the urge to poke it. you pursed your lips into a thin line as you tap the play button. you had never thought watching a movie with someone could be this enjoyable–especially with the one you had a crush on.

“I think the other twin is cooler.” niki commented.

“which one?”

“the one from Napa.”

you snickered. “niki, they’re literally played by the same person.”

“I knowww but still.” he shrugged.

as days, weeks and months passed by, both of you often spend time together, the bond naturally strengthens the more you and niki learnt about each other likes and dislikes.

you were in an absolute bliss the japanese still had the time to come visit you despite coming back from his basketball practice at a late hour or even after he got back from a 5 day trip, he sprinted from the car, and went to hug you as if he hadn’t see you in years.

“niki!” you yelped as he picked you up and spun you around in the air.

he let out a giggle, tighten his hug before putting you down. niki took the time to inspect your features up close, causing you to avert your attention elsewhere. he then tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear before he spoke,

“I miss you.”

“it’s not like you haven’t seen me for years.” you tiptoed, leaning in slightly and caught him by surprise but didn’t move anyway.

“it felt like a year to me.” he booped your nose. “maybe it’s because I,m used to seeing you everyday.”

“shut up.” you playfully hit his forearm and he can only smiled, his eyes not leaving yours.

“come on, admit that you miss me too.” he slung an arm around your shoulder, messing with your hair.

you shake your head, feigning a frown. “nope.”

however, as 16 year old, niki wasn’t able to express how he felt about you. he was afraid of ruining what he had with you right now. a perfect platonic friendship but with you, he desperately wanted to be something more.

someone dearest to you.

he really wanted to.

until someone else came into the picture.

“oh, i have someone to introduce you to.” your head spun to the entrance, a black haired boy with a huge smile ran down the steps with a book in his other hand. he never spotted him around the local town before.

niki’s smile fell. he was good looking. very. by his appearance, niki could guess he wasn’t from the local residence. the vibe the boy radiated were screaming charismatic and Prince Charming like. it made him feel small. it made him feel insecure.

were you been hanging out with him during his absence? were this boy his replacement? he immediately shake off those thoughts from his head and put on a smile.

“hi, i,m jake. it’s a pleasure to meet you.” the boy known as jake stretched out his hand as the boy’s puppy eyes looking back at his, while waiting for niki response.

“i,m niki. it’s a pleasure to meet you too.” niki smiled and the boy returned a smile which lessen the japanese’s nerves a bit.

you looked at the both of them, feeling giddy at the fact they seem happy to meet each other. you had no idea how both of them would get along but you surely hope they would bond during this summer.

“y/n, let’s continue where we left off, yeah? I’ve plotted a revenge against your 3 times winning streak.” jake beamed, crossing his arms.

“you bet.” you taunted and jake nudged your elbow, earning a look from niki. both of you seemed close and to him, it was alarmingly threatening.

“niki, do you want to tag along? the more the merrier.” niki was hesitant for a second. he can’t help but to think of the what ifs. what if the both of you pay no attention to him and pretend like he wasn’t there? as if he was invisible?

niki blinked a few times, his eyes averted to yours for reassurance. “niki?”

“sure.” jake’s lips formed a smile upon hearing the word came out from the boy’s lips. he instantly take the boy’s hand into his and immediately drag him inside the house followed by you who sprinted to catch up on them.

🐯

“how are you so good at playing mario kart?” jake were seated beside niki, constantly showering niki with praises here and there at how he good he was. “the clicking sounds while your fingers move swiftly on the controller is so cool.”

“nah, i,m not that good.”

you, who were seated on the other couch, swore you got a dejavu from the situation.

niki’s cart came in first place, a burst of confetti displayed on the screen and niki stood up from the couch, doing a victory dance before giving jake a fist bump. you giggled at the sight before sighing at the fact your cart came in the second place.

“you even broke y/n’s 4 times winning streak–” jake’s words were cut off with a grunt coming out of you. the boy let out a nervous chuckle, his eyes roaming across the room.

“so, anyone’s hungry?” you spoke as you stand up, hands on your hips.

both of the boys simultaneously shoot their hand up in the air, and trailed you from behind to the kitchen. jake’s parents and your parents could only giggle at the sight.

🐯

watching them stuffing themselves with your homemade spaghetti oglio, which jake mostly had to himself because apparently he hadn’t eaten since morning since he slept in, you thought you could just watch them eat because it was enough to make you full.

that’s what you always thought whenever you look at anyone whom appreciate and enjoy your dish.

however, you were startled when niki suddenly stood up from his seat and took a plate from the shelf, putting half of his untouched spaghetti onto the plate and slide them over to you.

he didn’t give you anytime to reply before continue eating.

he never failed to surprise you doesn’t he?

“i will see you guys later. my parents wants me to come along to the golf club.” jake said weakly, his eyes constantly looking back at you and niki, not wanting to leave just yet.

jake ran to you for a quick hug. niki instantly tear his eye away from both of you for a sec. you broke the hug and playfully flicked his forehead.

“now go, your parents are waiting in the car.” you waved to him dismissively.

after he was out from your sight, niki broke the awkward silence by saying, “jake is a really great guy.”

“i know right?”

but not gonna lie, he was jealous of the way jake seemed more comfortable and carefree with you than he does nonetheless he wasn’t lying when he said jake was a great guy to begin with.

“jake and his family is staying here over the summer. you get to spend with him more often.”

he hummed in response. “I always knew both of you will get along.”

silence invaded the kitchen before niki spoke,“are you and him..a thing?” he hesitantly asked.

“me? him? a thing? no cause the percentage of that happening is -100.” your brows furrowed, a hint of annoyance in your tone. why the hell would niki think that way?

“what? why? he’s a great guy.”

“i have known him since 8 and I never view him in that light, niki. i see him as a brother.” you said, stood up as you put your dirty plate in the sink. “never have i ever developed a feeling for him.”

“are you sure?” he huffed, running his fingers through his hair hoping for an answer he wasn’t certain of.

“absolutely. besides, i like someone else.” you whispered the last bit of the sentence.

“he seemed close to you.” a subtle smile tugged on his lips.

“yes because we always met during summer and it was as if we grew along with each other.” you swore you felt niki’s burning gaze, forming holes at the back of your head. your grip tighten on the edge of the sink as your hear faint footsteps approaching from behind you.

“he would fly from australia to korea and meet my family to spend the whole summer together. it’s like a tradition.”

your breath shuddered when you feel his fingers delicately wrapped a strand of your hair around his finger. “want to go get ice cream?”

you were baffled by the sudden question. “ice cream?” you turned to meet his doe eyes, his boxy smile plastered on his features.

“mhm.”

“i would love to.”

niki did come over to your house often to spend time with the australian because the boy indeed love his out going and glee personality. although, being a boy with a desperate need for your attention, he would often sneakily do something to have a small moment with you.

for instance, jake was making popcorns in the kitchen while niki would took the opportunity to snuggle closer to you, letting the blanket cover your whole body and you would giggle every time the boy got clingy to you.

wasn’t it obvious? nishimura riki was so deeply in love with you and he hoped you would found about it sooner or later because the lover boy wasn’t very good at confessions.

“you smell good.” his voice muffled, burying his face in the crook of your neck.

you blushed before ruffling his hair, “nah, you’re just trying to make feel good.” he snickered, already guessing the reaction he gets the out of you.

“but i mean it.” niki straightened his posture as he faked a pout.

“awh really?” you mirrored his gesture.

niki’s expression immediately changed at your attempt to mimic his action. this japanese was so whipped for you he can’t help but snuggle onto you even more, giggling while he do so. you laughed at the tingly feeling of his hair tickling your neck.

another presence, stood from the corner of the room with a bowl of popcorn in his hand, slightly pained from the sight before him. he briefly took a mental note to himself to not overreact when he faced the the two of you.

the australian greeted the two of you, making you and niki flinched from his unexpected presence. you attempted to loosen the grip niki had on your waist because jake’s spot was between you and the Japanese before he went to the kitchen. however, it was no use because the boy wouldn’t budge at all.

“no, it’s fine. i,m gonna sit right here.” jake plopped on an empty spot beside niki. “lover boy seemed comfortable with you so, i don’t want to ruin the moment.” the boy sneered.

“jake!” you whined. but, you failed to take notice of the bitter tone of his.

you chuckled, noting niki’s ears redden at jake’s nickname for him. you took the chance to run your fingers through his hair, giving a massages on his scalp. the boy sighed in contentment, fully melted under your touch.

though jake was having a hard time. he can’t help but to reminisce the moment where there was no one else except you and him, making banana splits during midnight as a movie night snack.

giggling and playfully pat you on the head for doing such a good job for drizzling the chocolate on top of the ice cream.

and now, the boy, whom he shared a brother like bond with over the summer, took your attention from him just like that. he wasn’t holding a grudge for niki or whatsoever. perhaps, jake thought he wasn’t used to another male being in the way of him and y/n’s friendship.

and he didn’t like it.

halfway into the movie, you eventually fell asleep on niki’s shoulder. niki wondered how can you be so adorable even at such state. light snores coming out of your mouth and your cheeks slightly squished perched on his shoulder.

niki took his time inspecting you closely–even booping your nose from too much cuteness. he noticed your slight hand movement which placed on his lap and he took the chance to entwined it with his, causing a smile forming on your lips.

niki sighed. what did he ever do in his past life to have met such a beautiful person like you?

🐯

it was like any other ordinary day except, today was a little different. he was planning to confess to you. with his heart dancing in delight, he headed towards your home with a huge smile and jumping over the steps from excitement.

he knocked the door a few times, his eyes meeting a pair of gorgeous ones the moment the door swung open. he immediately greeted you with a hug, a small giggle erupted from your lips which had always sounded like music to his ears.

the boy stood in the position longer, letting your scent luxuriate all over him before pulling away.

he leaned back for a moment, taking in your appearance that you have always look beautiful in his eyes and nothing could ever change that.

“I wanted to invite you for a family dinner today. would you like to?” his doe eyes glinting, looking at you with hope.

“i would love to. can i get dressed right now?” you cheerfully asked. niki glanced at his watch before looking back at you, nodding in approval.

just then, when you disappeared to your room, jake made a sudden appearance. niki furrowed his brows, noticing the boy’s stone cold expression. jake slowly approached him making niki took a few steps back as he abruptly closed the door behind him, startling the younger in the process.

why was jake peering at him that way? what have he done?

“she pities you.” niki’s lips shaking, partially confused and scared of what coming out from the boy’s mouth.

“she’s only friends with you because she pities you.”

“what?”

“from what I’ve heard, you barely have friends at school. isn’t that embarrassing for a 16 year old?” niki was stunned on his spot, not being able to form words.

“it makes you even more pathetic at the fact you thought someone like y/n would like you back.” he taunted. “her sweet gestures? that’s just her being nice to you. learn how to differentiate between friends and lovers gestures, niki.”

niki shake his head in disbelief. were all of his words true?

“inviting her for a family dinner? how romantic.” jake teased followed by a sinister chuckle. “just so you know, y/n doesn’t like a loner.”

“how am i supposed to believe whatever those crap you just spit from your mouth?” niki’s demeanour changed.

jake immediately returned to his stoic expression, realising the boy’s nerves wasn’t that easy to shake off he thought.

“i don’t believe you. if you think whatever you said would stop me from courting her, it didn’t. so, you better keep those words to yourself.” niki boldly stated, his eyes piercing into jake’s who was fuming with anger.

“your comment about me barely having friends? i,m surprised there’s still people like you living in 21st century.” that left the australian’s lips parted in shock.

“having less friends doesn’t equal me to being a loner. It’s about who i let in my friends circle because i despise people who actually acted all nice in front of me and talk shit about me behind my back.” jake looked away, the feeling of guilt gradually washed over him.

“it icks me seeing you with her honestly. i just hated it.��� he finished the last bit of the sentence with a scoff.

“does that give you the reason to invalidate my feelings? I don’t think so.”

niki watched jake’s tongue poke his left cheek in anger, his hand gradually balled into a fist as his other hand run through his already disheveled hair in frustration.

he refused to believe jake’s behaviour–his actual behaviour when you weren’t around were unmasked before him, his hateful attitude were on display. no one would believe the golden retriever looking boy whom everyone knows about with all smiles on his face held a grudge for niki.

just then, you came out of the entrance, suspiciously eyeing jake as you walked pass by him and stood beside niki. “have you told your parents about this?” the boy threw a glance at the japanese before averting his attention to you.

“yes. they’re completely fine with it.” you spoke, feeling your hands brushed slightly against niki’s shaking ones. you took a look at him, scanning his expression before niki excused the both of you.

“come on.” he slung an arm around your shoulder, and draped his hand over your arm, leaving you feeling tingly.

and that leaves the the boy who stood at the entrance, the feeling of hatred and anger washed over him as he groaned, refusing to believe he just let you walk away with another guy just like that.

“are you okay back there?” you caress his arm, your eyes staring at him attentively knowing there was something wrong with him.

“y-yeah.” the word came out breathlessly from his lips, refusing to look into your eyes.

as soon both of you enter niki’s front yard, you can’t help but to keep your eyes on him, wondering why he wouldn’t cast you a single glance. his shaking hand frequently brushing against yours, breaks your heart a little. his chest heaving in and out, constant whimpers came out from his lips.

beads of sweats slowly forming on his forehead and his trembling hands intensified as he took a few steps away from you. your face fell at the loss of contact, your brows furrowing in concern.

you greeted his parents who happened to be at the kitchen as you enter nishimura’s home. his parents asked niki and you to wait upstairs and will be asking for the both of you to come down when dinner is done.

you casted a glance at him, however this time the boy was peering at you with glint of tears in his eyes and you were astounded at the condition he were in. “niki?”

“I-i just…” he suddenly sprinted upstairs; which caught you by surprise and you ran upstairs to catch up on him. his heavy breathing intensified, sensing your steps approaching him from behind. he didn’t want to let you see him in his condition.

it’s pathetic.

the poor immediately strutted to the corner, his back slumped as he slid down the wall, harshly gripped on his chest due to his breath shortening and his nausea gradually deteriorating.

“niki calm down.” you controlled your voice from breaking its composure. you inched closer towards him bit by bit, not wanting the boy to panic any further and crouched to where he was.

the condition was completely out of ordinary–nothing like it ever happened to him before, during your whole time of knowing him even before the summer hits. it scared you because he flailed around like a person who went mad.

he shake his head vigorously, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face. “i-i can’t.” he choked out.

that word instinctively made you pull him into your embrace. your heart breaks for him, hearing his muffled cries as he cried harder at your gesture. his long arms abruptly made its way around your waist.

“shh.” you shut your eyes, maintaining your composure to prevent tears threatening to fall in your eyes from falling. you can feel the poor boy’s body shaking awfully under your touch. at that moment, you felt like his vulnerability was fully on display to you.

his youth and child like image was unveiled to you, letting you care and comfort him more in depth.

his loud breaths mixed with his choked out sob as you rocked him side to side, his head nestled in your neck as you instructed him to breathe and breathe out.

“breathe, niki. breathe in. and breathe out.” a tear trickled on your cheek. were he just starting to experience this? if he weren’t, why he was hiding this from you?

he obliged you and his breathing were back to normal–he no longer moved like a madman which were a huge relief to you. he had just experienced a panic attack, a disorder which you didn’t know he had.

“are you okay?” you cupped his cheek when he looked up to you. his puffy eyes, red nose and glistening eyes from crying earlier. the boy silently nodded.

you blamed yourself for thinking he still looks adorable at such state.

“i-i,m sorry.” he hiccuped. his body sprawled on the floor weakly and curled further into your warmth.

“no don’t be sorry.” you wanted to ask how or when did he start acting like earlier however inspecting how weak he was right now, you dismissed the thought and decided to ask about it next time.

his eyes slightly widen upon seeing your tear stained cheek. “don’t cry.” his thumb made contact with your skin, delicately caressing it.

you smiled sadly at his sweet gesture even during his weakest moment. your hand reached his bigger ones, softly stroking them.

“I heard everything.” your gaze soften. “jake, triggered you didn’t he?” niki hung his head low and nodded.

“listen niki.” your hand went to cup his cheek again, his eyes meeting yours. his gaze dazedly staring into yours as if he wanted to get lost in them.

“don’t let his words get to you.” your lips shaking, your eyes again brimming with tears. “and–i don’t become friends with you out of pity. that was all bullshit.” niki smiled at the fact you cursed out of anger with tears threatening to fall anytime soon.

“I’ll be sure to told on him soon. i can’t believe he would say such hurtful words to you. who did he think he is?” the boy chuckled, noting your cheeks fuming in anger as you keep rambling on and on about the boy. the way your cheeks got puffy when you huff in anger. ugh. just gave him more reason to love you even more.

“i should have been there to defend you but instead i only eavesdropped behind the closed door.” you pouted.

“no it’s okay! really! i stood up for myself.” he looked at you endearingly.

you squished on his cheeks as you continue rambling. “you’re way better than that asshole. you’re a billion times better than him–”

the boy smashed his lips on yours causing your words to come to a halt. consequently, it leaves you a blushing mess. despite the shock of him suddenly kissing you, you managed to kiss him back.

his grip on your waist tighten and you feel butterflies at the feeling of him circling your waist as he continue kissing the life out of you. constant whimpers coming out from his lips while you nibbled on his lower lip. it’s adorable.

a string of saliva connected the both of your swollen lips as both of you pulled away, showed how both of you were filled with huge “want” for each other.

he let out a small giggle at your reaction, who’s still in a daze with light blush coating your cheeks. “sorry for kissing you without a permission in the first place.” you were beyond shocked, processing what just happened to you. the boy you had a crush on just kissed you.

“n-no. i don’t mind at all.” you looked away.

“oh? so you’re saying I can kiss you again?” before you get to protest, he pulled you in for another kiss, his lips moulded with yours for the second time. this time he was hovering you, trapping you under his arms, kissing you like there was no tomorrow.

“it seems like you’ve been wishing to do this for quite a long time, hm?” you breathlessly spoke.

“I even dreamed of it.” the corner of his lips curled up into a smirk, leaning down to meet your lips again.

🐯

niki opened up to you, telling you when did he got diagnosed with the disorder and the causes of it. you felt relieved he trusted you enough to tell you all of it because it felt personal.

“y’know if there’s something’s bothering you. please do tell me.” you put a hand over his which rested on his knee.

he smiled at you, eyes sparkling in delight. “i will. i could say the same to you.” you silently nodded as you rested your head on his shoulder.

he slung an arm your shoulder, softly caressing your forearm. he enjoyed your company. he enjoyed your presence. everything about you were his favourite.

“i like you, riki.” you blurted out.

he abruptly turned to you, his face dangerously closed to yours and found your eyes were already staring at him.

“i like you too. so much.” he gave you a peck on the lips. your cheeks immediately coated in light tints of pink. the boy was on cloud nine. he couldn’t believe at the fact you reciprocated his feelings.

to him, you were a full package–everyone’s dream girl that everyone could ever asked for and he was glad you became his.

“i liked you since the day I laid my eyes on you. you were so cute panicking and rushing to return the parcel to its owner. my heart was pounding so fast i thought i would die.” you laughed at his endearing confession.

“you were so tall my neck hurts the first time I talked to you. i wonder how can you still looked handsome even in a plain T-shirt–”

“awh my pretty girl called me handsome.” you blushed at the endearment, hiding your flushed face with your hands however the boy moved your hands away to see your reaction which always got him cooing.

“let me see that pretty face of yours.” he wrangled with your hands which attempted to swat his hands away.

“noo!” you whined.

it turned out a wrongly sent parcel can lead the other to get attach with the other and get entangled with each other’s feelings thus creating an unexpected friendship.

@jungwoning hope u like this!! sorry for keeping you waiting!

A rosé by any other name

I don't know wine. To me, a good vintage is one that's in the clearance aisle at the supermarket. Beer is my beverage of choice.

On Monday, though, I played wine connoisseur. At two wineries in Napa, California, I gave several varieties a visual inspection, swirled them around to "unlock their bouquet," aired them out a bit, and finally threw them at my palate. I did what some people — a lot of people, actually — do every day.

I liked the experience. Though I didn't understand the science of winemaking or half of my sommeliers' gibberish about "notes of this" or "hints of that," I liked what I tasted. Then again, I expected to. When you taste the wine in one of world's greatest wine regions, you are bound to find something good.

I visited Northern California this week as my wife Cheryl's administrative assistant. She attended an education conference. I edited her blog and enjoyed the ride. A fair trade. As a part of our experience, we took an e-bike tour of the Napa Valley, home to five hundred wineries.

Our guide, Don, a transplant from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was a font of information on all things Napa Valley. He educated two couples on everything from the region's geography and climate to its history and rise as a wine-making capital following a 1976 wine competition in Paris, an event chronicled in the 2008 comedy-drama Bottle Shock.

As for the bike ride, it was nice as well. Starting and ending in Yountville, home of the French Laundry restaurant, it covered about eighteen miles on sidestreets, paved paths, and even highways. Along the way, we passed not only vineyards and wineries but also lush farmland, olive orchards, and eucalyptus groves. E-bikes, in case you have not tried them, are a kick. They are exercise for the rest of us.

I hope to take a few more of these trips in between writing and editing novels. Doing is living, as they say, and I plan to do a lot more.

Forewarned is Forearmed: Common Furnace Repairs Every New Homeowner Should Know

As a new homeowner, it's important to be prepared for common furnace repairs that may arise, especially if you're in the Bay Area or Napa, CA, where reliable heating and air services are crucial. Understanding these potential issues can help you troubleshoot problems early and avoid costly repairs down the line. Here are some common furnace repairs every new homeowner should know:

1. Ignition Problems:

If your furnace fails to ignite or has trouble staying lit, it could indicate issues with the ignition system. This could be due to a faulty igniter, thermocouple, or pilot light. Ignition problems can often be resolved by cleaning or replacing these components.

2. Blower Motor Issues:

The blower motor is responsible for circulating warm air throughout your home. If you notice weak airflow or strange noises coming from your furnace, it could indicate a problem with the blower motor. This may require lubrication, belt replacement, or motor repair.

3. Dirty or Clogged Filters:

Dirty or clogged filters can restrict airflow and reduce the efficiency of your furnace. This can lead to overheating, increased energy consumption, and premature wear and tear on the system. Regularly inspect and replace your furnace filters to ensure optimal performance.

4. Thermostat Malfunctions:

A malfunctioning thermostat can cause your furnace to cycle on and off unexpectedly or fail to reach the desired temperature. Check the thermostat settings, replace the batteries, and ensure proper calibration to rule out thermostat issues.

5. Pilot Light Problems:

If you have a gas furnace with a pilot light, issues with the pilot light can prevent your furnace from functioning properly. Common problems include a weak or flickering flame, which may indicate a dirty or faulty pilot assembly that requires cleaning or replacement.

6. Lack of Maintenance:

One of the most common reasons for furnace repairs is a lack of regular maintenance. Neglecting routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting electrical connections can lead to breakdowns and costly repairs. Schedule annual maintenance with a reputable HVAC repair service in Napa, CA, or the Bay Area to keep your furnace running smoothly.

By familiarizing yourself with these common furnace repairs, you can be better prepared to address issues as they arise and keep your home comfortable year-round. Remember to enlist the help of a professional HVAC repair service in Napa, CA, or the Bay Area for complex repairs or if you're unsure how to proceed. With proper maintenance and timely repairs, you can ensure the reliability and efficiency of your furnace for years to come.

The Importance of a Home Inspection and What to Look For

Buying a home is the most significant financial investment many people make. A thorough home inspection before closing the deal safeguards your investment, providing insight into the property's condition and identifying potential issues that could prove costly down the road.

Qualified real estate agents in Napa, CA, like those you’ll find at Connie Jamie, can guide you through the home inspection process and recommend local professionals, including inspectors, contractors, and other home improvement experts.

Home for Sale in Yountville, CA: What to Look for During the Home Inspection

Once you understand how the inspection process works, you can confidently navigate it and make well-informed decisions about your purchase. Here’s what the inspector looks for during a typical home inspection.

Structural issues. Foundation cracks, uneven floors, or sagging ceilings could indicate structural problems, some of which could be costly to repair.

Roof and exterior. The inspector will check the roof for signs of damage or leaks. They’ll also examine exterior and interior walls, siding, windows, and doors for signs of water intrusion or pest damage.

Plumbing system. Faucets and toilets are turned on and flushed to check for adequate water pressure. The inspector will also look for visible leaks and other signs of water damage.

Electrical system. All electrical outlets, switches, and fixtures should be in good working condition and up to code. The electrical panel should be sufficient to handle the home’s modern needs.

HVAC system. An inspector will determine the age and maintenance history of the system and test them to ensure they’re functioning correctly.

Insulation and ventilation. The home’s attic should be properly insulated and ventilated. Adequate ventilation in crawl spaces is also verified.

Water and moisture issues: Stains, mold, or musty odors in the basement, crawl space, or other home areas can indicate hidden issues that should be corrected before the deal closes.

When assessing a property’s overall condition, the inspector will also look at the current state of doors, windows, major appliances, and safety features.

The Benefits of a Home Inspection

A home inspection provides several benefits for buyers and sellers, including:

Negotiating power. Buyers can request repairs, credits, or even a price reduction based on identified issues.

Planning future repairs. Not every identified issue needs immediate fixing, but knowing what you might need to spend money on in the near future can help you decide if this is the right property for you. For instance, will the roof need replacing in the next several years? Are HVAC units nearing the end of their lifespan? You’ll want to consider those costs before buying.

Peace of mind. A professional evaluation of a property gives buyers and sellers the peace of mind that comes with knowing there won’t be disputes after the deal’s finalized. Buyers can move forward with confidence in their home-buying decision.

The Benefits of Using a Storage Unit During a Move

You are considering a move, but the timing isn’t right. You have sold your home, yet your new one is not ready.

Or you are thinking about downsizing. But some of the things you just cannot part with, or you are saving them to pass on to your children.

You might wish to move in stages, keeping some items in temporary storage while you first organize the main things.

And realtors will always ask you to “simplify” the decor while a home is on the market. So this means moving some pieces and pictures to storage.

Or you are tired of the clutter, and those items you wish to keep but only use occasionally take up too much space.

These are common situations that nearly everyone grapples with at some time during their lives.

Consider temporary public storage in a clean, well-managed storage facility is the answer. 

Southgate Storage is Secure Public Storage

Whatever the reason for the storage, Southgate Storage offers everything the user might need. Storage for a few items to a whole household, from temporary to permanent storage in clean, secure public storage units, public storage is a lifesaver.

As for security, Southgate Storage is a locked and well-lit facility. Cameras are placed throughout the facility to monitor incoming and outgoing individuals and record suspicious activities.

Individuals renting public storage units at Southgate Storage Napa, CA, are issued a Code that allows them or their representatives to enter the space. The code for each unit changes each time they adopt a new client.

Don't Store These in a Cold Vehicle (Items to Avoid Storing in a Freezing Vehicle)

The other day, a man walked into a restaurant carrying a can of paint. He had just bought the latex paint at the local home improvement store, and he was stopping for lunch.

"Latex paint is water-based, and it's so cold out. If I leave it out in my truck while I'm eating, it'll be frozen by the time I'm done with lunch."

Yes, latex paint is one thing you should never leave out in your vehicle during freezing weather, since the cold can make it separate and clump up, turning it into a gloppy mess that won't go smoothly on your walls.

There are a few other things you should not leave in your freezing vehicle. Medicines and drugs can change chemically if they freeze, especially those in liquid forms like insulin, eye drops, and cough syrup.

It can be tempting to leave bottled water in the cup holders. The problem comes when bottled water freezes and expands. That can fracture the plastic. When things thaw out, guess where the water goes?

Ditto for soda or other beverages. Cans and bottles can freeze and burst. Then you're in for a mess!

Don't leave your cellphones or computers in a frozen vehicle. Many use lithium ion batteries and charging them at temperatures below freezing can ruin them.

And finally, if someone in your family plays a musical instrument, it's not a good idea to leave it in freezing temperatures. The most significant danger, believe it or not, may be when you try to warm an instrument up too fast; it can crack the wood in a guitar, for example. Or, if you let a wind instrument freeze that still has moisture inside it, the resulting ice can cause damage to the pads and keys.

Take the time to take these things inside. The little extra time it takes may help you avoid many big headaches later. Remember to take your vehicle in to your NAPA AutoCare Center for an inspection in late fall to make sure it's up to the demands of the coming winter.
