FLUFF ALPHABET DOGDAY

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

I already published it in one of my first writings but so that they don't bother to see it, they both play hide and seek, tag, maybe truth or dare, etc.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He thinks everything about you is beautiful, from your eyes to your your toes (if you even have toes or feet).

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

If you are sad he tries to cheer you up either by giving you physical or verbal affection, drawing, talking, watching something, whatever cheers you up.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

It sounds strange but he would like to have a family (he knows he can't 😞) he would like to see you and him with his little children but since he can't, he use his stuffed version as one and depending on how you are, you will play along or try (don't even think about telling him that it's stupid of him or I swear I will come to your house with a gun 👹 /j)

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

He's in the middle 👍 there's not much to say honestly

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Look, I don't know what happened but it was probably your fault😒(just joking) their arguments probably don't go beyond a few raised voices, the second the discussion ends there are two options, the first is that he run to you and apologize or that he is lecturing himself with his tail down.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

He is VERY grateful and even thanks for things he shouldn't(I'm sorry this is short, I couldn't think of anything)

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Imagine there is a door, that door symbolizes honesty now look at Dogday's door that door is so open that the door flew away and the frame too.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

I'm already doing a hc of him jealous so this will be more summarized and shorter, It's difficult for him to get jealous since he trusts you TOO much but if he is jealous he will try to get your attention hugging you and saying your name over and over again.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

The first kiss was okay although he had never kissed so at first it was a little awkward, as time went on his kissing skills improved(he definitely didn't ask Bubba, Cickin and Bobby for advice☺️ DEFINITELY)

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

He was nervous, he asked Catnap if he could come and support him, he complied as a good friend and he was a little far away but behind you with a sign that said "YOU CAN DO IT, DOGDAY!" or said what Dogday was supposed to say because he probably forgot(I promise to make a more detailed version soon in the not too distant future).

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

He wants to marry you but since you and him are toys you can't but still in some creative way you got married, they used a fabric that they found with the help of Crafty and they got married, it was actually something funny and adorable to see (YOU DEFINITELY WORE THE SUIT AND DOGDAY THE WEDDING DRESS‼️‼️) by the way, the ring was some donut-shaped gummies.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

I already made a post about it but I wanted to make a little update here by adding "angel" and "star"

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

It's VERY obvious, just watch him for a few seconds and you'll see how when you're close he moves his tail and seems happier, he stops what he's doing and comes to greet you giving you a hug while his tail moves at a thousand miles an hour, he's not sure if he's in love, he confuses his feelings and thinks maybe he just loves you as a close friend (spoiler, it wasn't)

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He's a big fan of PDA and even once probably shouted from somewhere quite long how much he loved you(a worker or Miss Delight scolded him because the children were supposed to be sleeping at that time), He loves to hold your hand and kiss your nose, he probably emphasizes 24/7 that you're dating him, he is very proud to know that you are dating him, If you are not a fan of PDA, he respects it and when you are alone he gives you a lot of kisses on the cheeks and hugs you.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

There's not much to say but technically you're second in command for dating the guy who's the leader👍 IDK MAN

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He is cliche AND creative, He likes to do very cliché but very creative things at the same time, They are going to have a date with red petals and candles, yes, but instead of candles they will be candles with fun shapes, the petals will be daisies (clearly I don't get them from a destroyed Daisy) and the chairs are chairs of frogs, he likes to do the same things that are romantically cliché but at the same time add things that have nothing to do with it or make it chaotic.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

ABSOLUTELY YES, it will help you in anything, believe 100% that you can achieve any goal you have.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Every day he do something new with you, one day you are looking some ants working and the next you are creating a base to protect yourself from a non-existent deadly virus that he created with you.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Depending on who you are, he probably knows a lot about you and is quite empathetic (I couldn't think of anything here, I'm sorry)

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

For him you are the most important thing in his life, his top is probably

3. Humans

2. His friends

1. You

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

When you give him the cold shoulder after an argument he goes to Catnap and Catnap has to deal with his best friend crying because you don't listen to him

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Y E S He is very affectionate although obviously there are days when he is less affectionate.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

He will be looking for things that remind him of you and hugs them while waiting for you to appear.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He is willing to do almost anything for the relationship, his only limits are attacking or killing someone for obvious reasons.

I FINALLY FINISHED THIS, now I will have to do other pending things

This Was Never Meant to Be What It Feels Like

A/N: Hey y'all! I'm not really a writer so this is my first time posting any writing here on Tumblr, but I'm apparently incapable of not thinking about Armando (*Whatta Man by Salt-N-Pepa plays in my head) so this kind of...happened. I figured I'd share ☺️ Also, I know Armando thinks Aretas is his dad in the movies but I changed it a bit.

Title is from Satisfaction by SiR (if you haven't heard it do yourself a favor and go listen)

Pairing: Armando Aretas x Original Female Character

Fandom: Bad Boys Movies

Prompt: Shay (OC) wants to get to know Armando better and figures her best bet is to ask when he's...relaxed.

Warnings ⚠️: Uh...complicated parental relationships. Talk of smut, but no actual smut.

“Tell me something.”

“Hm?”

Shay kept her focus on drawing invisible shapes on Armando’s shoulder with her finger. Her blue stiletto shaped nails going down almost to his elbow before finding its way back up to his collar bone. It was something she did often after they had sex and she knew it calmed him much like it was now. His breathing had slowed into something calmer than the frantic breaths of ten minutes ago when he was trying to catch his breath. The open window blew in a decent ocean breeze, adding to the peaceful feeling in her bedroom. She tried to play it cool, like she wasn’t disturbing the moment, wasn’t asking him to do the one thing she knew he hated - opening up.

Shay had been seeing Armando for about three months now, and she knew next to nothing about the man. She knew it was a red flag, hell she knew he probably wasn’t a law abiding citizen, but she couldn’t help it. 

There was something so magnetizing, so sensual about his presence. He commanded attention even though she got the feeling he wanted nothing more than to blend in and be lowkey. She couldn’t help but notice the way he held himself, the way he spoke and moved with the confidence of a man who was sure of himself. Don’t get her started on the way he smelled - it was divine and pure man.

The point was basically this - he was a ten but he refused to tell her more about himself.

Shay was determined to get to know him better, because despite playing things close to his chest, she was in love with him. She didn’t know his last name, but she knew he would bring her flowers and food if she was having a bad day just to make her smile. She didn’t know what he did for a living - honestly, part of her was glad for this if it was illegal as she was imagining. Plausible deniability. - but she knew if she needed him to, he would fix anything she needed him to or at least find someone who could. She didn’t know what his crucible entailed that made him like this, but she knew he loved her like she was something precious.

So she was taking the risk that this would blow up in her face. “Tell me something about you that I don’t know.” She kissed his chest, like she was softening the blow of the question. Not that she needed to, it was an open ended question on purpose. The more freedom she gave about the topic, the more likely he was to answer.

He gently shifted her to the pillow as he lifted himself on his elbow, facing her with a suspicious look on his face. “Like what?” God, what she wouldn’t give to take whatever hurt that made him so distrustful of her just wanting to know him away. Who had betrayed him? Who took advantage of his trust and made him so wary of genuine love?

She thought over her answer, a million topics coming to mind but needing to pick one that wouldn’t have him shutting down immediately. Armando had let the conversation start but he could end it if she said the wrong thing.

“Your family.” She could feel him pulling away as if it was physically happening so she quickly explained her choice. “Did you grow up with siblings? Are your parents married?” Bare minimum. 

It seemed to have worked he looked at her as if debating what to say, if anything, before laying back down and staring at the ceiling. The relaxed man that was in her bed mere minutes ago, gone. Now he was tense, as if ready for a fight. She slowly and obviously resumed her previous position on his chest, giving him time to tell her no if he needed the space. Her nails went back to their drawings in the hopes of calming him enough to talk. He took a breath before, “I grew up an only child. My mom was my world, she taught me everything I knew.”

Her nails stopped moving. “Was?” It was the word that caught the most of her attention out of everything he just said.

“She passed away a few years ago.” His face was blank, as if he was just stating a fact of life rather than talking about the death of the person that raised him and whom he clearly loved.

Shay rubbed the shoulder she wasn’t laying on in an effort to comfort him.“I’m sorry to hear that.” Armando shrugged it off but she could tell it still hurt him. “What about your dad?”

“Our relationship is…complicated at best. He wasn’t around for most of my life. We were introduced a few months before my mom died. I didn’t even know who he was to me until my mom told me on her deathbed.” 

“You never asked your mom about him before?”

“If there was one thing I knew about my father growing up, it was that my mom hated him. She always told me that he left us behind and didn’t look back at all. As a kid I was curious but as I got older, I started to hate him too. I mean he was supposed to love my mom, and he turned on her and left me behind like I was trash. Fuck ‘im. Now I know it wasn’t so black and white.”

“How so?”

“The few times my mom spoke about him, she always heavily implied that he knew she was pregnant with me and left anyway. Looking back, she never said the words. When I confronted my father about it, he said they were a doomed couple that wasn’t ever going to last. They were both too selfish. Said he didn’t even know she had been pregnant until we met.”

“Sounds like he cares. I mean if he knew do you think he would have been around?”

“There’s no doubt in my mind he would have been there, raised me. I know he loves me, that he just wants what’s best for me, but I’m just having a hard time accepting it. I spent so much time hating him that reconciling this truth with this perception I’ve always had of him is hard.”

“Not to mention it means confronting that you didn’t know your mom as well as you thought you did. The woman she was to you isn’t the woman she was to others.”

“And she’s not here to explain it, which just makes me mad all over again. He’s usually the target of my anger.”

“Makes sense to me.” She shrugged in response to his questioning look. “He’s here. Add in the fact that he wasn’t there for so long its easy to blame him for a lot.”

“Yeah,” he agreed.

Like a flip had been switched, he once again moves her onto the bed and hovers over her.

“Enough about them. Talking is not exactly what I had in mind for us tonight,” he pleads. 

She could see the desperation and fear in his eyes. She had a feeling that being that honest with her scared him. He wasn’t exactly the vulnerable type and telling her all this put him on display in the most raw way, an unknown for him. It also meant he had to be honest with himself about he felt, something she didn’t think happened a lot. He wanted to escape the real hurt he was feeling about it all, he didn’t want to face what the truth might mean for his memory of his mother. If a reprieve is what he needed, she could do that for him. She would do that for him.

She bit her bottom lip, looking at him through her lashes, feeling herself get wet at his suggestive tone and slight touches. “What did you have in mind?”

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The next morning she woke up alone, his side of the bed cold. This wasn’t an unusual occurrence as he often left before she woke. She was used to him leaving and coming back randomly, sometimes being gone for days. After their conversation and the way he seemed to just need her last night, she figured this was coming. Something told her him leaving was different this time, that she had pushed him too far. She had the sickening feeling that he wasn’t coming back.

Round two had been fast and rough, needy in a way. Round three had been teasing and playful, like he was apologizing for being so rough before. Round four was…slow and passionate, reverent almost.

It felt like a goodbye.

A/N: 🫣So how'd I do? Let me know in the comments. Likes and reblogs are always appreciated! OH AND HOW SHOULD I TAG THIS?! Anything I should add to get more people to see it?

Part 2 Part 3

[emry-stars-art]

Oooh do go on about raven neil and jean 👀 (if you’re so inclined ☺️) - @neil-jostenminyard

*chanting* raven Neil raven Neil raven Neil (and lots of Jean) (quite possibly even jeaneil) (although most of the thoughts are post-ravens lol)

So my personal thoughts about this are also mostly thanks to chats and inspiration/prompting from @jtl-fics and @greenautumnleaves so if you see any additions from them on this post it's most likely also thoughts I adore lol

Anyway this got kind of long so:

I ALSO latched onto Sakavic's statement that Neil wouldn't leave Jean in the nest bc yeah it makes sense and also ow

But just the two of them being partnered up like Riko and Kevin as is common in these aus, and then after Kevin gets out first, they have to stick together and rely on each other even MORE because Riko is pissed that Kevin is gone and probably takes it out on the next closest two idk

But in our imaginings, Renee or Andrew get Jean out quicker than in canon, again because Neil would refuse to leave Jean behind and I can only imagine he'd go so far as to trick or manipulate Jean into leaving. Maybe by being at a certain place at a certain time to get picked up, however he can make it happen. But the issue we run into is that once that's done, what the hell would Neil have left at Evermore, besides Exy that maybe he still loves deep down. But Exy's been so warped being raised on it at the nest that at that point his obsession is barely recognizable.

Kevin might recognize this, because he knew Neil in the nest. Or at least he knew the person that Neil presented himself as. But it's probably more likely that Jean recognizes this, and yeah things are super rocky and weird but Jean can barely even function without Neil. So back a fox goes to rescue their second raven's partner.

They bring Neil back to Palmetto and he and Jean are completely inseparable. Emotionally and physically. Neither of them act like, feel like, or even call themselves "touchy feely" or "clingy" people but as soon as Neil is treated for various intense and mysterious injuries, they're curled up in some hidden place for hours. Even the short time having left Neil behind made Jean almost too anxious to leave his room. Even the short time without Jean - now with more punishment for aiding Jean's escape - was enough for Neil to consider something drastic.

(side note: Andrew now has not one, not two, but three gorgeous tragic boys under his supervision and I'm sure he's handling that totally normally lmao. But it's so obvious to him that Jean and Neil have something going on that any ideas for himself aren't worth entertaining.)

So it's a little easier to ease out of various habits and thought processes because Jean and Neil are doing it together, with outside help. They fix their sleep cycles/rhythms, try a slightly more normal college diet, and most slowly lose their "win or die" mindset in practices. They're still never seen without each other - Wymack had a talk with some of the school board about their schedules and dorm arrangements for the first semester. In reality, he's not sure if he should have them go cold turkey on raven habits or if he should take it slower, but he's doing his damn best to get these boys adjusted to life outside a cult. And Neil and Jean, whether or not they actively realize it, find that step to be the one they absolutely cannot take. Why would they go through the agony of learning to live separately if they don't have to. When no one else understands them like the other, when they've already seen each other's worst so nothing else is worth keeping secret between them. Who else is Jean going to go to when having a better life makes him feel like he more deserves death or punishment and the guilt hits him so hard he can't breathe, much less sleep. Who else is Neil going to go to when he can't let go of his birthright - if he isn't good at what he does (Exy) he literally could just be shot like a lame horse - and he's not allowed to go practice Exy against a wall to the point of tearing himself apart anymore so he forces his feet away from the court to find the only person he knows he'll listen to when they say no.

Kevin, of course, is keeping a close eye on the two, whether unintentionally or on purpose is unclear. Neil still has a mouth on him, he sometimes plays mind games with the foxes like chess against himself, and most of all does not allow anyone to get too close to Jean. Jean is still quiet, having learned not only to take a punishment without resistance but also that Neil will speak first. Neil will resist so Jean doesn't have to. He's safer in Neil's shadow.

Maybe it's a phrase or warning that Neil uses and that Kevin recognizes. Maybe it's a gesture between Neil and Jean that Kevin oversees. Maybe it's just the general demeanor of the two. But whatever it is is familiar to Kevin, not in a "I remember this from them in the nest" way. He can recognize by now that Riko was not good to him, he can acknowledge it even if the rest of him hasn't caught up. He looks at Jean in Neil's shadow and remembers himself in Riko's.

As if Butcher's son Nathaniel Wesninski wasn't already scary enough on his own.

But Kevin won't allow this kind of thing on his court, and he's not good at it but he is still trying to let go of unhealthy raven ideals. If Neil is holding onto some fucked up dynamic, Kevin is going to put a stop to it.

He pulls Jean aside, a miraculous feat. He asks what Neil has done.

"Mistake" might be an understatement.

It could very easily be the longest string of words Jean has said to anyone besides Neil. Kevin doesn't know near as much French as he does in canon - Neil is the one that shares that secret defiance - so it's all clear English, Jean making sure Kevin understands every word. Kevin should never speak about Neil that way again. He knows nothing about them, he shouldn't so much as pretend to understand Neil. Neil is the only good thing that ever happened to Jean. Kevin never cared enough to bring it up in the nest, so he has no right to start caring now.

It isn't great for their already tumultuous relationship. Kevin wonders for a bit if Jean would tell Neil about it - then next practice Neil doesn't even try to work with Kevin, even after the two had made it a point as strikers to figure out how to. He ignores the other strikers entirely, falling immediately and seamlessly into perfect synch with Jean behind him, speaking hardly a word of English the whole practice. Because he knows that will make Kevin even more angry than Neil being actively hostile to his new teammates.

Kevin isn't sure what he was expecting. Chances are Jean hadn't even needed to bring it up for Neil to notice something was off.

As for Andrew, I think he could still pick up a game of truths. He'd need to offer a similar deal as he did for canon Neil, this time for Neil-and-Jean, the entity of the two of them together. I think he could ensure some cooperation by saying he won't force Jean and Neil apart from each other the way some others have muttered about doing. Even if Neil knows by now the codependence isn't healthy, neither of them are ready to give it up.

It probably really throws Andrew to hear that they don't consider themselves to be an item. They're together, sure, but for a raven that doesn't always, maybe even rarely, means "in a traditional relationship". Neil and Jean definitely never offer any clarification. That's no one else's business, even if they could explain it so that a non-raven could understand. Generally I feel like if this is an andreil universe, it's an even longer, stranger, more winding road to get there than in canon.

I'm almost CERTAIN there's more Im forgetting about rn but this has been my taster on raven Neil+Jean, I hope it was at least a little bit coherent, and greenautumnleaves - I hope this comes anywhere close to your galaxy brain ideas on these two lol. Maybe I'll be back with other thoughts later who knows

[sunnymainecoonx]

I forgot I could put effort on shading(at least some kind of effort... shattered is a little chaotic but I'm too lazy to put a mind to that) it's still lazy but in the effort sense

Anyways, frozen stuff, I'm assuming Nightmares corruption is also just some sort of power(I kind of forgot how it worked but) and something like embracing it? Well, angst timeline, Dreams is more driven by hate and betrayal, and logically the kingdom also betrayed him(they betrayed Nightmare and thought Error as a hero aaand that's pretty bad in Dreams case...) soo he kills MOST of the kingdom along with Error.. some managed to evacuate. He's probably too kind a soul to do this but the corruption brought out all his hatred and.. that didn't end well for most ☺️ the x-tale people probably somehow got Cross to go there(I was too lazy for Epic, he's probably there too but this isn't the rizz timeline so Dream's just Cross' husband)(well that's a lie because Error was the one to marry Dream, but they had a nice and peaceful divorce so). I forgot how the trolls worked but come on.. like— leave me alone T-T Frozen came out in like 2013 how am I supposed to remember it

I imagine that Dreams corruption is slow, he doesn't want to do this but it hurts a little too much. Loss of his brother and friends with no one else to trust, probably some sort of abusive relationship(it is but I don't think in the physical way-) but like imagine having to marry the murderer of your sibling. Just constantly living in despair- no one believes in you?? Having nothing to make you happy?? Just, there, probably not even living just

He's just sad :( I would be too, probably do something... vile. Yeah. But then again, now that he's a monster, why would anyone love him now? How could his friends still like him. Cross is already looking at him with nothing but fear and pain. He killed almost an entire kingdom. How cruel

I ALMOST FORGOT THE TAGGING(that's the word right? This isn't being bad at English I'm just... I have a little memory and phrasing problem ☺️ I forgot a little of my own language too... but we don't talk about it) I WAS ABOUT TO POST IT HECK( @cakesmelons )

[thelunarfairy]

Holaaa, First of all I want to tell you that I really like your account and your analysis💖Your points of view are very accurate and you give me my daily dose of hananene, so thank you 🫶

Now let's get to my question, it is not new that AidaIro makes "jokes" about Hanako harassing Nene, however this usually reaches strange limits, let's say, that Hanako tells Kou that he has touched Nene's breasts (clearly a lie) wanting to see up her skirt in a final comic of the Guardians of the Clock arc, hinting at her a lot, in another final mini comic he imagines what it would be like Nene if the water won't affect her (She would clearly be naked and he knows it) I even once saw a user of this app talking about how there is a fairly old mini panel drawn with a pencil in which Hanako wants to imitate a scene with Nene from the romantic movie Ghost (a scene that ends in something sexual) and the most famous imagen:

Clearly if you see this scene without having some context you are going to think badly, everyone thinks badly, the link I am leaving you is an analysis in which it is mentioned that eating and sex go hand in hand in the manga.

https://www.tumblr.com/theevilthatismokke/698270204867788800/the-myth-of-sumire-and-hakubo-jshk-chapter-94-and

And so we could continue talking about the many times that Hanako makes advances to Nene, to which I asked myself this, is Hanako sexually attracted to Nene? Maybe my question makes you uncomfortable, so if so, don't answer it :), even I feel bad and uncomfortable asking you this, I would just like to know your point of view, I also analyze these characters.

Many greetings from Mexico ☺️

Aww I'm the one who thanks you for your kindness, I'm very happy that you're enjoying my posts >.<

This answer was a little long, so I'm going to put fewer images to avoid making it twice as long, I'm going to rely on your memory on this one haha

Finally someone asked about this, and I'm immensely happy because it's a subject I've wanted to address for a long time. It turns out that I never really went into depth about it because I didn't know if people would feel uncomfortable.

JSHK has very strong and heavy themes, so I try to be cautious when talking about some things, even if I have theories about the topic. But to be honest, I'm thinking about talking to people about it.

Some of these themes are important to the main plot, and their analysis has a very important outcome for us to draw some conclusions about the characters' behavior, but anyway, returning to your question, let's talk about two of these themes, and one of the most controversial.

Hanako died at age thirteen, but he maintained his consciousness and physical presence for over fifty years. People still debate his mental age today, some say he has a mental age equivalent to the age he died, others say he already thinks like an adult.

Hanako has a duality, he will never be just "one" thing always, he is not just a good boy, but he is also not just a bad boy, I can spend hours exemplifying this, but that is not my intention, making it clear that this applies to most of the characters, so since we're talking about his mental age, this applies too.

He acts like a child, not like Tsukasa, but you still see him playing with toys or playing with other people, Hanako likes to have fun. He also has some childish thoughts about some things and does wrong things like a child. Tsuchigomori is sometimes seen teaching him things, as if he were responsible, like when the boy wanted to sell Tsuchigomori's objects without permission to buy a hat, the teacher teaches him that this is wrong and he understands.

We can clearly see that there is a very childish side to him, but at the same time he also has a more adult side. Let's consider him to be a side younger than an adult properly speaking. Hanako was thirteen years old so he was in puberty, about to leave pre-adolescence and enter adolescence. In fact, sexual desires are common and very latent at this age.

But, we are already talking about two topics, I will separate them so that we can better understand the connection that sex has with hunger.

Let's start by talking about sex.

Hanako clearly has strong and very latent sexual desires, this was made very clear from the beginning, what happens is that the "comic" side of the series leaves this as a situation that is supposed to be "funny" as if it were just a joke. It is common in works to see perverted characters being used as comic relief, but this does not apply to JSHK.

Hanako does indeed have latent desires, the way he acts, the way he behaves and the way he looks at Yashiro is almost always with a lot of desire. Just look at many panels of the manga, the way Hanako looks at Yashiro with desire, as if he was always about to kiss her, the way he is always touching, hugging, putting his arms around her, it's because there is a desire he tries to control.

The face he made when she was touching him

I talk more about his desire in this post here

Make no mistake, Hanako has actually touched her breasts a few times, I talk about that in this post here

Hanako doesn't just feel desire for Yashiro, he has a sexual desire that is natural to him, that is, this desire didn't start because of her. He always walks around or finds some suggestive items.

Erotic books (whether with girls in bikinis or magazines teaching what to do at "the right time" such as the magazine that teaches how to reach your girlfriend's G-spot)

Books teaching how to win someone over (like the one he used to help make Yashiro's wish come true) the book was very worn out, which means he read it very often. This indicates that he was wanting to learn to do it with someone (conquer someone).

The Kokeshi doll.

Let me tell you about this doll. There are some meanings behind it, such as the fact that it is used as an amulet to guarantee the protection of children, but at the same time the doll is also associated with sex and the sexual desire of boys, due to its shape.

On some Japanese sites I found it being linked to use for boys' sexual "relief", if you know what I mean. Not only does Hanako have a kokeshi doll, but he also thinks it's "Sexy." Again, people associated this moment where he says this as comic relief, but the signs are there.

See other examples

So, let's move on to the sexual desire he feels for Yashiro.

When Hanako was a child, he said that Yashiro was his type, that is, he had been attracted to her since that age (even though he was so young). When Nene met him again when he was older, the first thing Hanako did when they formed a bond was flirt with her, and he flirts very often.

His flirtations are different from those we usually see in other works. He always uses touch when he does, and Nene has noticed this to the point of claiming that he sexually harasses her. Do you see that Yashiro herself noticed this? At first Hanako had no criteria, he actually didn't care about touching her or imagining her naked, trying to look under her skirt or watching her take a shower (despite her turning into a fish).

And he didn't care because it was purely physical, he actually felt a strong sexual desire for her, even though she wasn't the only one. Yes, Hanako has also touched Aoi-chan, and even talked about the size of her breasts.

Then, Hanako falls in love with Nene and his way of acting subtly changes. We saw how he was reluctant to go after Yashiro when she went to take a shower with Sumire because he was afraid Yashiro would be mad at him. Do you think he would do this before? Hanako now has feelings for her, so he starts holding back.

Holding back is something that represents Hanako well.

And we see this all the time, the confirmation that he holds so much back came precisely in the chapter on the mokkes of the dead. Hanako doesn't have his normal consciousness, he's letting himself be carried away by his desire, in this case for sweets, but did you notice that he recognized Yashiro's voice when she called him? And the way he "attacks" her is different from the way he attacks Kou. We clearly see the sexual connotation here, Hanako's desire for Yashiro, and he pursues her until the end.

The way he "attacks" Yashiro

the way he attacks Kou

see his eyes of desire in this last panel

In this chapter we see that just by "relaxing" a little, he already tried to fulfill one of his own desires. Hanako already had several opportunities to kiss Yashiro but he was always holding back, he couldn't hold back any longer during their reunion because he hadn't seen her for a long time, because she risked her own life to see him, she saved him from Teru and She still confessed that she loved him. He couldn't hold back any longer and kissed her.

So, I've been thinking about this whole situation and whether Hanako would start putting pressure on Yashiro if they started dating. If Nene is his girlfriend, he'll be able to tease her, right? I was wondering if this possibility could happen and I started to think so after what happened between Hakubo and Sumire.

So, after an intense kiss between the two, would we see Hanako trying to touch Yashiro? Or even succeeding? Nene is not difficult to convince, and she must know that when she wanted to have a boyfriend, sex would be part of the relationship, the question is, how long could Hanako stay before he started wanting to consummate with her?

This is where I start to talk about the second theme, "hunger".

You sent me the link to a post (very good indeed) talking about the relationship between eating and sex, which are directly linked to JSHK, and it actually makes perfect sense. Aidairo made it very clear that this duality exists and the constant use of this metaphor.

That's because sex and hunger have one thing in common, desire

Everything in JSHK is about desire. Make wishes, fulfill wishes, always wishes.

Hunger and Sex are represented by the desire to obtain, to consume, to obtain something at will. Or are you going to tell me that you don't feel pleasure when you can eat delicious food when you're starving?

Eating is a word that actually has a sexual representation not only in JSHK but also throughout the world. I'll give you a personal example here.

In the country where I live (Brazil) the word "eating" is almost a synonym for sex, depending on the context in which you use it. If you say that you desire or want to "eat" someone, the person listening to you will SURELY understand that you are going to have sexual relations with the other person and that you will be the one who will be on top (active). So, if you come here haha, don't use that term because people will interpret it as being about sex.

I want to eat someone is the same thing that I want to have sex with someone. It's a very popular term even though a lot of people hate it (especially women).

I imagine that in other places in the world the word "eating" could be related to sex too, not just here in Brazil.

So back to JSHK, let's talk about hunger. We know that cannibalism is present in the work too, in addition to the extra arts in which the characters are represented as food or something like that.

We see Hakubo and Sumire's relationship, and we have to admit that the moment Hakubo went to "destroy" Sumire, he ate her. It was very obvious and very clear that it was a sex scene.

Obviously not in the most common way, but remember that Aidairo literally uses eating to represent sex itself. This is the most explicit example we have in the work (for now).

So let's move on to another topic, the way supernaturals relate to humans is different, of course it's different. Supernaturals like to devour humans and the way they deal with feelings is different but at the same time similar to that of humans.

Hakubo was a supernatural, he was born that way, and he reflected what was part of his nature. He did it the way he liked, he could have destroyed Sumire in any other way, but he chose to eat her, to consume her.

Do you know who is also a supernatural?

Hanako

Even though he was a human and understands better how relationships between humans work and that he can actually fall in love, he is still a supernatural.

Hanako is also hungry, and the whole time he is next to a kannagi girl, and he said that kannagis are delicious for supernaturals.

Hanako feels desire for Yashiro, he is a supernatural, she is a human with that title, with the blood that supernaturals desire. So, Hanako wants to eat Yashiro?

What if in the end Hanako has to "consume" Yashiro in the same way as Hakubo and Sumire? It's a possibility.

He has to stop himself from doing that. Which brings me to another point that people don't really like to think about

Hanako's relationship with Tsukasa.

Have you ever stopped to think? Tsukasa is Hanako's yorishiro, and if Nene doesn't remove Tsukasa's seal, will Hanako have to "eat" Tsukasa too?

Tsukasa seems to be looking forward to it.

What kind of relationship did these two have?

I won't delve into that now, let's get back to Nene and Hanako.

Their relationship is troubled, not only because he is supernatural and she is human, but also because of the way this relationship develops. There is a supernatural side to dealing with "love" and "desire" that we don't know about, but which is dangerous.

Hanako desires Yashiro in human form (sexual) and also in supernatural form (hunger), he wants her in the same way that Hakubo desired Sumire. Hakubo was supplying both, wasn't he?

It could be the same thing with Yashiro, it will depend on Hanako and how much he can control himself, which side of him will speak louder? the human side or the supernatural side?

This is the question he fears so much, he is afraid of his supernatural side, and the proof of this is the desire he has to remain sealed because he can control himself.

Hanako's human side wants to touch every part of Yashiro's body, wants to take her as a wife, wants to give and feel the purest pleasure with her, but the supernatural side actually wants to consume her, wants to devour her.

Which of these sides will be able to win in the end?

It's like I said, everything always begins and ends with a wish.

Hahaha the answer was longer than it should have been, sorry, but I loved finally being able to talk about it. There are a lot of things I think about these topics, but I'm still thinking about whether I'm going to talk about it or not, I need to know if the public is okay with it.

A big hug to Mexico from Brazil \o/

I hope you liked it, thanks for the ask! ♡

Sorceress Jinx!AU: Friends and Familiars.

(this gif was too cute not to use, imagine it's Powder with a kitten and a puppy)

I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who has shown interest in this concept, it's really helped me feel motivated to write the story and I will I just need to do an outline first 😄❤️❤️❤️

I also want to encourage anyone and everyone interested in Sorceress Jinx to send me Asks 🤗❤️

That being said I wanted to share some more ideas that I've come up with.

Powder doesn't tell anyone about her new abilities, save for Ekko but he just assumes she thought up a new game 🥺, so as a result she ends up disappearing from home for hours at a time to teach herself (through trial and error) and try and gain a better understanding of what she is; she doesn't automatically assume she's a mage, because of Piltover erasing anything to do with magic (until it's convenient for them) there isn't much in the ways researching.

Until she comes across a traveller by the name of Ryze at the docks who specialises in runic magic, he was originally going to Piltover by request to speak to the founders of Hextech to give them some input on Runic magic but decided whilst exploring the Undercity to refuse the request as there was already too severe of a power imbalance.

This is when he comes across Powder trying to use what little magic she's grasped an understanding of to retrieve the loot she threw into the river, he at first stays hidden to observe but quickly intervenes when Powder accidentally drags out a shark instead of the loot.

Long story short. Ryze listens to Powder's story about the loot, the symbols and shadowy figures (that she refers to as Shades) that no-one else can see, how she "can't" tell her family (here he tries to advise her into being open to her family), her frustrations with not knowing what she's doing as well as her worries that she might hurt someone she cares about, and her woes of always being referred to as a Jinx.

He concludes that the symbols she sees are runes or traces of runes, but admits that the Shades are a mystery to him. After getting her to interact with a couple of these Shades, who manifest physically as a black cat name Kuro and a white puppy named Shiro (I was originally going to make Shiro a kitten as well, but I like the idea of them being a puppy), he's able to determine that their at least some of them are spirits looking for people to bond with and become Familiars.

Before leaving the Undercity, he decides to impart some of his knowledge of the arcane and runes to Powder, but vows to keep an ear open for her in the future and to even come back to check up on her, fearing that she might be in possession of a World Rune without realising it.

With this new knowledge and friends, Powder starts to make strides in her understanding of the Arcane. Starting with, successfully retrieving the loot (she's nothing if not stubborn) and bringing it back to her family who react by panicking about her safety 😑

This is what I have so far, I'm thinking of introducing more mage characters (i.e. Seraphine, Ezreal, Zeri) but it might take a while. I think the first story, I plan on making this a series, will focus on Powder's learning curve and how this new aspect of her affects her relationship with her family.

Let me know what you guys think ☺️❤️

A few other things (I'll dot point these):

Her family and Ekko are worried about Powder because she spends time away from them for hours at a time, and they can't get her to open up to them.

Ekko thinks he did something to upset Powder and makes her a flower wreath made out of scrap metal as an apology.

Powder is touched by the gift and wears it proudly but assures Ekko he didn't do anything wrong, this is where she tries to tell him about her magic and then has to actually come up with a game now because Ekko sounded excited by the idea 🤦

Silco is still in the background but he's planning on overthrowing Vander and, right now, views Powder as the weak link in the family and an easy way to separate Vander from the Lanes.

He learns real quick how wrong he is 😂😂

Sevika ends up giving Vander advice on parenting a daughter after she has to listen to him worrying about Powder, yet again, while she's drinking 😂

Hello Zoey,

I hope above all that your morale is better and that you are doing well?

I saw the last episode of the Bad Batch and I find it too cute the little flirtation between Tech and Phee.

Suddenly I wondered that it could be the sexual orientation of the members of Bad Batch and Rex.

Here is my feeling:

Hunter: Hetero

Wrecker: Gay

Tech: At first I thought no guidance but now Hetero

Echo: I don't know

Crosshair: Hetero

Rex: Gay or Bi

Omega: Leave him his innocence. ☺️

I'm curious to know your feelings?

I send you lots of positive thoughts and you always make exciting fics to read 😍

Aloha!

It's an up and down, but at the moment I am doing okay so far, despite the circumstances. Thank you for asking 😊

Well, to be honest, I never really put a lot of thought into what their sexual orientation is. Okay, aside from automatically assuming they are hetero, which I guess just happens automatically when thinking about beloved characters and being hetero yourself. Okay, maybe not 100% hetero in my case, but yeah.

So, honestly, I think they could be anything. When it comes to writing, I'm open to any suggestion, there is no limit, at least for me when it comes to 'love', or in this case imagination, they are fictional characters after all.

I love to dive in and imagine while writing, but aside from that, I didn't really have an opinion on their orientation.

Being an Afab and identifying myself as female, of course, one of my first instincts is to imagine and write that way, if not asked for something else. But honestly, I'm generally intrigued by the thought of affection between two people, no matter the gender. So, yes, it could be that some of them are gay, bi or what else there is in terms of sexual orientation.

Before Phee showed up and the last episode in particular, I honestly thought Tech would be not really interested in physical contact in terms of intimacy, and canon wise, I was wrong with that assumption... I guess.

Yes, I wrote steamy, dirty things about this guy simply because I adore my goggled genius, but in the back of my mind was always the thought that Tech was more interested in other stimulation with someone he had affection for than sex. But honestly I'm not sure what that's called.... Yes, I'm an idiot in some regards, but I'm fine with that 😋

So no, aside from Tech, I didn't have any deep, preconceived thoughts about the sexual orientation of The Bad Batch or any other clone. Oh, but stop….Fives, if I had to guess, I would absolutely guess that Fives is interested in all genders, and that he has no preconceived opinions or tastes physically either. I think Fives is someone who likes to sweep others along and let himself be swept along. By that I don't mean that he fucks everyone who comes his way, but that he is excited by people who approach him in an open, lively and curious way, that something like that attracts and stimulates him much more than a certain sex or appearance.

But that's just my headcanon, my idea of this fictional character.

Well, I see I wrote a lot more about this topic than I planned to in the first place 😅 Does this answer your question?

[missmaywemeetagain]

i wanted to comment on your response to the person who mentioned ‘it hurts me’. it wouldn’t let me, i guess it was too long😭 but here it is☺️

i agreeeee, your series always come to mind when i hear this song & yes yes to the grunts in the 68 version! i loveee that part. honestly, i prefer the 68 version of a lot of his songs. & i agree the change in his voice somehow brought so much more passion to it. ‘love me’ is one that i adoreee & there’s the part towards the end when he sings “if you ever go, darling i’ll be oh so lonely” but instead of just singing it normal he goes “i’ll be oh oh oh oh so lonely”. i’m sure yk what i’m talking about lol but it’s something about that part i love & don’t get me started on ‘trying to get to you’. the 68 live version EATS the original😭😭 i found another live version of it from june 21st 77 that’s also realllyyyy good, my fave one(crazy to see how amazing his voice still was w the condition he was in at that time) i’m not sure if you heard it but you should check it out!

DARLIN' let me tell you, the '68 versions of Trying to Get to You and Love Me have consumed my SOUL for a long time now and dominate my repeat EP playlist. I feel like he just put his whole ass self on the line in '68 and just gave it every ounce of what he had in all the ways--vocally, emotionally, musically, sexually--everything is just amazing. But those two, in particular, (plus One Night) have a quality to them that is just unspeakably wonderful and sexy as hell. I absolutely LOVE that we have the videos for those performances because he was just a MASTER at working the audience/camera in such an effortless way, it's unparalleled really.

I hadn't heard/seen the '77 version of Trying to Get to You, so thank you for recommending it! I will be totally honest that it is soooo hard for me to watch anything from '77 (or really anything after '71) because it makes me just so damn sad and he was so incredibly ill, BUT I am continuously amazed at the quality of those last couple performances when I do listen/watch. This one is a great vocal performance. I also loved his joking around at the beginning--his sense of humor was there till the end!

To get a little technical and nerdy, I truly think it is a physical miracle he was able to produce that kind of sound with what his body was going through. I mean, maybe he was having a good day, and for certain he was falling back on years of experience, but holy shit. Any one who sings knows that it takes a lot of effort with your diaphragm and lungs, and we know that between his megacolon, COPD, and state of his heart ALONE, the pressure on those systems had to have been immense. I'm just flabbergasted that he was able to hit those higher notes in chest voice with that kind of power in '77.

What's even more interesting is that his speaking voice is really thin and nasal here, all up in his face, likely because of those physical pressures and it took less effort to speak that way, but in the later 60's and early 70's his speaking voice was deeper, even when he was out of breath. So when he comes out with that power (even though it's a bit more nasal than before), it's really surprising! And he's still super dynamic with the cry in his voice and the way he's using slides so effectively, it's truly a feat.

Elvis was never a technically "perfect" singer and I'm glad for that because he did so many cool things vocally that made him the incredibly unique vocalist that he was. However, I would have LOVED for him to have just even a little more training because the potential he had in his range was immense, which you can really hear in the later years in the way his voice became so operatic. If he'd been well and lived longer, I can only imagine the amazing stuff he would've produced, considering that he was running on empty in '77 and did THAT (and don't even get me started on Unchained Melody 😭).

It is fascinating since we have many recordings/performances throughout his lifetime of the same songs to hear the changes in his voice. I love that we can compare and analyze them. What a gift he was!

Good LORDY, I rambled here, I'm so sorry! Anyway, you have wonderful taste and thank you for the rec, baby!! 💜

[tamelee]

Hi Tamelee! I was wondering if you can please draw team 7 together? 😍🧡🌸💜 I would love to see them in your style its so unique. Its painterly yet anime like, so interesting! Or maybe a drawing showing them as rivals would be cool too ☺️

Okay usually I answer asks with the art itself, but..

I don’t know tbh. MAYBE as small children. I’ve never really been a fan of the whole “Team 7” dynamic. Every time I sit down to imagine drawing them ‘together’ as the “badass team 7 family” like so many people describe them as, I just feel awkward. Nothing about them inspires me. It’s always Naruto and Sasuke. Or (either of) them with Kakashi, well Kakashi in general. I can even think of a few things for Sakura and perhaps even her with Naruto.. But it’ll be like.. Uhm.. ☝🏼ah! Them at a formal dinner party where they don’t know each other, or anyone else really. So they both shuffle their way down the line of a 🍅tomato themed buffet🍅 and now stand in a large hall with their bowls of fiery red stews that interestingly enough becomes a newly found obsession to the both of them. The perfect blend of threatening seasoning that combats each other with every bite, surprising them both. Leaving Sakura startled and Naruto worked up and excited. They briefly have eye contact, observing that they found something in common and therefore a topic of conversation. An opportunity to get out of this awkward scene. Its Naruto who speaks first although he notices that Sakura is kind of wary, holding her bowl of tomato stew a little too close to her dress, almost spilling its content as its trying to get away. She hisses in pain as the liquid is still too hot and staining her dress as if she says “Issa snack and it's painful, but it’ll stay with me forever regardless”. He could only nod, because Naruto understood. To say it was mouthwatering was not even an understatement, that would be putting it too mildly. Only his evil self would say something so distressing- or maybe he'd be honest? And you know, I’m not quite sure how to visualize that 🤔 Sidenote:

And look here what I found in one of the artbooks I have from Kishimoto 😂 (I'm Kakashi.) He's always been so vague about the whole 'rivalry'-thing, but this interview is just funny. Sasuke and Naruto's rivalry to him is them saving each other over and over again, inspiring each other's development for power, actually physically empowering the other, trigger motivation by simply existing.. it's different from your normal Shōnen rivalry for sure. Its called love. Definitely interesting.

[pocket-lilies]

Hiya! This is my first request so here I go! 🥺

May I request slight angst but mainly fluffy Hc’s of Hinata, Bokuto, and Iwaizumi with a reader that has a crush on them but she doesn’t want to confess since they’re passionate about volleyball and other things to be in a relationship and just waits for her crush on them to pass by?

She doesn’t act any different around them but there is a slight distance between her and them so she can get over them faster. The thing is they like her back and grow concerned if they did something to make her happy so they confront her but she simply tells them the truth with a soft smile accepting whatever rejection they have and wants to wish them the best.

Go crazy with how fluffy them accepting her feelings! ☺️💗💓💖💘

Hello! Sorry this took a minute, but I finally managed to finish it! Unfortunately, I read this request wrong and I uh... ended up having the reader COMPLETELY avoid them. I only figured out I was wrong as I was drafting this up and I read that specific line. I hope it's ok T^T I'm really sorry!! - Pocket ♡

➺ Summary: You're in love with him, but his devotion to volleyball is too great. So you distance yourself, thinking he wouldn't mind. But he does, because he feels the same.

➺ Characters included: Shoyo Hinata, Kotaro Bokuto, and Hajime Iwaizumi

Accidental Confessions

❥ Shoyo Hinata

You had met Hinata in your first year at Karasuno. You had run into him in the hallway and there was just this air about you, he couldn’t help but wanna see you again. Over time, the two of you became really, really close. How could you NOT fall in love with him? He was a ball of excitement and his determination was amazing. He was the second shortest player on the team and yet he excelled beyond what anyone would imagine.

Here’s the thing: Hinata’s dream was to become a pro volleyball player and for that, he needed to put all his spare time into practice. He was at a disadvantage with his height, so he needed to work harder than the average player. Because of this, you knew you just couldn’t ruin this with your feelings. So, you kept quiet. Hoping that over time, the feelings would just… go away.

Well, they didn’t. It only got harder on you. Eventually, Hinata felt as if you’d just started drifting away. At first, Hinata just assumed you were busy with life, so he didn’t bother you too much but it started to get… annoying. Hinata noticed he wasn’t doing as well at practice as usual. His jumps were off, he couldn’t hit the ball-missing them half of the time- and he just wasn’t performing the way he normally does. It took him a minute to link this all to you. You disappearing on him was a huge distraction and he planned on confronting you about it.

“(y/n).” You froze as you heard a very familiar voice calling out to you. You slowly turned around to face your orange-haired friend.

“H-Hinata! Hello!” You tried to act as if nothing was wrong, thinking of any excuse to leave. But Hinata wasn’t having it. He was here for one reason.

“Why are you avoiding me?”

“What? I’m not. I’m just busy.”

“Don’t lie to me. I know when my best friend’s upset.” You physically cringed at the title and it wasn’t unnoticed by Hinata. It all sorta hit him right there. You weren’t texting him back, you wouldn’t pick up his calls half of the time, you repeatedly declined to watch him practice and even attend some games, you were physically avoiding him, and now you cringe when being called his friend? You just didn’t like him anymore, did you?

At the thought, Hinata’s heart squeezed painfully and he found it hard to breathe somehow. A million reasons flew through his head as to why you possibly didn’t like him or what to be around him, but none of them seemed plausible. You just weren’t the type of person to up and walk away.

Finally, after many moments of being silent, Hinata spoke. His voice was shaky and uncertain, but now that he finally had you in front of him, he wanted to deal with this problem at once.

“You… don’t want to be friends. I-I understand but I’m sorry for whatever I did! I’ll fix it I swea-”

“NO!” Hinata flinched and tensed immediately, his eyes finally meeting yours, causing guilt to flow through you. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell. I don’t… want to stop being friends. I just… can’t.” Those words felt like knives against his chest.

“Wh-why?” It was your turn to look away with sad eyes. A pitiful smile made its way onto your lips and you spoke just loud enough for him to hear you.

“Because I love you. More than a friend should love another. But I can’t get in the way of your happiness- your dreams. I can’t be the one to hold you back so I have to stop. These feelings have to go away so I can be the best supportive friend I can be! I want to see you-” your sentence came to an abrupt end when you felt Hinata pull you into his arms.

“Do you mean it?” His voice had hope, more than it did earlier. His arms were so tight around you, it was hard to breathe, but at the same time, you didn’t want him to let go. He was never this affectionate with you.

“What?”

“Did you mean it when you said you loved me?”

“Of course! Why would I lie?” Hinata’s arms loosened and he pulled away from you a little, but not completely- he couldn't be away from you, not right now. Your eyes met his and your cheeks turned red under his loving, adoring gaze.

“I love you too. Please don’t try to get rid of those feelings. You’re not standing in my way… if anything, you’re like a bridge. When I’m around you, I do better. So please… stay with me. I want to reach the top with you at my side.”

❥ Kotaro Bokuto

You were actually Bokuto’s fan, but he didn’t know you. You always attended all of Fukurodani’s games (seeing as how you were a student there) and Bokuto was your favorite. It was nothing serious, nothing like now. One day, you had a message from your teacher for the volleyball coach and you offered to go deliver it. You had given the coach the message and were on your way out when a ball smacked the back of your head, sending you tumbling down. It was one of Bokuto’s spikes bouncing off the ground and hitting you. He apologized profusely and well… stuck to you like glue ever since.

It was inevitable that you were going to fall for Bokuto. He was funny, cheerful, undeterred, and just… so your type. You didn’t realize how bad it was until the day Akaashi was teasing him. The dark-haired boy claimed that Bokuto would never get a girlfriend in his current state to which Bokuto said: “who needs a girlfriend? My one and only true love is volleyball!” The ache in your chest was… unbearable. You made an excuse and left as quickly as you could. That’s right… Bokuto’s devotion to volleyball wasn’t something you could counter.

So, you started to avoid him. The best way to get rid of your feelings so that you two could be friends again was to not be around him. Once those romantic feelings disappeared, you’d find some way to become friends with him again. Bokuto QUICKLY took notice of your disappearing act. He tried EVERY WAY he could to spend time with you. Studying, doing homework together, going to his practice, going to the park, “accidentally” running into you when you went shopping with friends- there’s a lot he did. But you slipped away anyway. But one day, he finally managed to corner you… in your own house.

“What do you want?” You asked, looking away from him. Bokuto wasn’t one to do dumb stuff like this. But there was an air of desperation around him, one you didn’t see often… or ever, actually.

“Why are you avoiding me?” He asked, without wasting time. You only looked away, ready to deny the statements but he was one step ahead of you. “Don’t lie and say you’re busy. No matter what, you would always find time for me. Even if you had homework or studying to do, you’d come to practice or invite me to your house or come to mine. You always found time. So what’s going on?”

“Nothing, I just find it easier to study by myself.”

“But we’re always-”

“Just drop it Bokuto!” He flinched and sent you a wounded look. You immediately felt guilty and sighed, gently touching his arm. “I-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have yelled. I have no excuse.” Bokuto nodded as his eyes fell to the ground, tears starting to pool. He shakily took your hand and moved it off of his before taking a step back.

“It’s ok. I think… I get it. I’m a little too much, Akaashi always warns me about it but I just… never listen. I guess I’ll finally understand now.” You weren’t entirely sure what he was talking about, but from the look on his face, you didn’t have a very good feeling.

“Bokuto?”

“Don’t worry!” He forced a smile on his face and it was so painfully obvious that it wasn’t real. Your heart ached at the sight and you reached out towards him once more, but he shook his head as he took a step back. “I’ll leave you alone now.”

You caught a tear trailing down his cheeks as he turned his back towards you and started walking to your door. Out of fear that he was going to disappear from your life, your body moved on its own. You ran towards him and wrapped your arms around his slim figure.

“I LOVE YOU!” You felt him physically tense in your arms, but you were too scared to let go. Too scared that you might lose your only opportunity to confess. “I… I’ve loved you for so long. I’ve attended all of your games and I could only hope you’d look my way, but you never did. Then… that day you hit me in the head, you’d finally looked at me. I didn’t realize how strongly I would start to feel for you one day. But I can’t stand in your way. You told us how much you love volleyball… I can’t take that away from you.” Your words died down and you felt the embarrassment seep in. You had been trying to hide that from him this entire goddamn time! How could you just tell him?!

Your arms loosened and slowly started to fall, but before they could completely leave Bokuto, he grabbed them and tugged you in. You were pressed against his back as he hugged your arms to his chest.

“I… said that because he knows.” He started in a quiet voice.

“What?”

“Akaashi knows… how I feel about you.” Bokuto finally turned around in your arms and looked down at you. “He was saying that while staring at you. I was scared he would out me… so I lied and said that I didn’t need anyone and that I only loved volleyball. The truth is… I love you too. Ever since we became friends, I’ve had this weird connection to you. I can’t help but want to be around you or want to impress you. It was weird at first, but Akaashi called me out on it so fast. You know…” Bokuto started as he moved forward, causing you to move back until you hit the wall behind you. He trapped you in as he leaned down, his lips barely a few inches away from yours. “There are days where all I want to do is wrap my arms around you and hold you all day long. There’s one thing- and one thing only- that I love more than volleyball.”

“What?” You asked in a small voice, even though you were painfully aware of the answer.

“You.”

❥ Hajime Iwaizumi

You had met Iwaizumi in your first year at Aoba Johsai. You two became quick friends and you were soon introduced to Oikawa. You spent a lot of time with the two, attending their games and practices, so it was hard to not fall in love with him. You did your best to hide your feelings and Oikawa, unknowingly, actually helped with that by flirting with you. He flirted so much that Iwaizumi would never pay attention to you giving him loving looks. You weren’t sure if Oikawa knew, but you didn’t mind. You know Oikawa wasn’t the type of person to just tell.

There were many reasons you didn’t want to confess, but the main one was his devotion to the sport. Whether or not this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, currently, he wanted to excel in volleyball. Who were you to stand in the way of that? So, you came up with your “genius” plan. If you wanted to stand by Iwaizumi and support him and his hobby, you had to stop being so desperately in love. This meant you couldn’t spend as much time with him as you wanted. This would eventually calm your feelings, right?

WRONG. No, it didn’t! In fact, you felt even more miserable than usual! You did your best to avoid both Oikawa and Iwaizumi as much as possible. You repeatedly canceled plans, would literally hide from them in the hallways, declined calls, or pretended you were busy, any and every excuse you could muster. Both Oikawa and Iwaizumi picked up on it pretty quickly and made it a goal to talk to you. They tried VERY HARD. Oikawa burst into your class and demanded to talk to you, making all the girls swoon. Iwaizumi cornered you in the cafeteria but you managed to get away. Both of them tried to stop you after school but you booked it to your friend’s house and they had practice. It’s safe to say they were both hurt that you didn’t even want to talk about it. Iwaizumi’s mood took a turn for the worse. He was quieter than usual, sadder, and was off in his own mind. Oikawa was angry at you for letting this happen. So, he devised a plan; he was going to get answers. They deserved better.

So, as per his plan, Oikawa managed to trap you in the halls after school. No one was around, so he was free to question you. He was angry and you had to admit, you were a little afraid. Being alone with a guy that was six feet tall also didn’t help.

“Wh-what do you want, Oikawa?”

“Oh, now it’s ‘Oikawa’? What happened to Tooru? Let me guess, you’re back to calling Iwa-chan, Iwaizumi?” It was evident that he was very upset and you just wanted to escape. But at the same time, you were pretty sure it was your fault.

“I’m busy, please move.”

“No. Not until you answer me. If you tell me what the hell is going on, then I’ll leave you alone. I’ll never bother you again.”

“I’ve just been really busy, ok? I have a life too, you know.”

“Oh come on, don’t even start with that. Look, I don’t care how you treat me, but how dare you hurt Iwaizumi?”

“What? I didn’t do anything!”

“No? You didn’t just abandon us? Without a word, might I add.”

“I’ve just been busy, dumbass! I just told you that!” Oikawa’s gaze hardened as he stalked towards you, making you quickly back away and hit the wall behind you.

“Don’t lie to me, (l/n).” Oh wow, you really didn’t like it when he used your last name. It felt so weird. “No matter what, we’ve always found time for each other. You would literally call us and fall asleep on us just so you could talk to us for a minute. Do you think we’re dumb? Do you think we’re just gonna accept this? If you don’t like us or want to be friends, then just say it to our faces! Stop being such a coward!” Oikawa was never like this with you, he was always so… flirty and kind. He never yelled at you like this and it made you wonder just how much Iwaizumi had been hurting for him to become this way.

“I… I’m sorry…” you whispered, looking down as the tears pooled in your eyes.

“What?”

“I can’t… be around him.”

“Around Iwa-chan?” You nodded as you sniffled, finally looking up and meeting Oikawa’s eyes. He was surprised by the look in your eyes and took a step back.

“I love him,” a small gasp escaped Oikawa’s lips as he tensed, “I love him so much it hurts. But I can’t! I don’t want to stand in his way! He wants to get better at volleyball and he can’t do that if I demand all of his spare time. He needs it all… so he can’t give it to me. I-” your words came to a halt when Oikawa pressed his hand to your mouth. His eyes were wide with horror as he slowly turned around. Your eyes followed him and you watched as Iwaizumi moved away from the corner and stood in your vision. His eyes were wide too.

“I-I didn’t… I swear I didn’t know.” Oikawa mumbled as he backed away. He didn’t mean to make you confess! He just wanted you to admit you didn’t want to be friends with them.

“I-is it true?” Iwaizumi asked, slowly walking towards you. His movements were so hesitant and cautious as if he were trying to make sure this wasn’t a dream. Every cell in your body begged you to say no. They begged you to lie and run. You couldn’t ruin this anymore, but your mind… just didn’t listen.

“Yes. But I can’t ruin you-”

“NO!” Iwaizumi yelled, stopping a short distance away from you. “You’re not ruining anything! I-I feel the same! I’ve loved you for a while and I was just… scared. I thought you liked him.” He said, pointing to Oikawa, making you shake your head.

“N-no! I just… his flirting distracted you, so I let him go on with it.” Oikawa sighed in relief, a little worried that you may have liked him since he knew about Iwaizumi’s feelings for you. Thankfully, you didn’t and this made him just a little happy. He only flirted with you to tease Iwaizumi- which worked out at times but you barely took notice.

“Then… you love me too. Then… we can be together.” Iwaizumi touched his chest as he breathed out, his heart beating much faster than anticipated. You nodded, accepting the idea of being with him, and watching as a smile spread to his face. You loved him back and it made him happier than he could imagine. Within a second he was in front of you and his arms were around your frame, holding you as close as he could.

You hugged back, letting the emotions you’d tried to bury flow freely. You held each other tightly, coming to terms with the fact that your relationship wouldn’t end. No, your relationship would last a long time and that made you so happy.

Until Oikawa hugged you both, sniffling. Iwaizumi turned and glared at him for a moment.

“I just realized,” your boyfriend started, “you KNEW I liked (y/n)... so why the hell did you continue flirting with her?”

“Oh, cuz it made you angry.”

“What?”

“Your face looks funny when you’re angry.”

“You’re dead.”

Oikawa’s screaming could be heard from the heavens that day. You tried to stop Iwaizumi, but he was just a little too fast.
