#Rin is still bold as ever

[rindreamery]

to be loved is to be seen.

the little things that the blue lock men do for you as their way of saying, "i love you." featuring: itoshi rin, itoshi sae, michael kaiser, oliver aiku 𝜗𝜚 content: fluff

note. spreading down bad bllk men agenda 🫦 finals is this week, so that means i will not be able to write at all for 3-4 days, so i just wanted to pop this out rlly quickly (event fics will be written as soon as i wrap up this sem, PROMISE)

itoshi rin picks out the things you don't like in your food.

not that he’d ever admit it out loud, but rin has a folder in his notes app about you— things you like, things you dislike, and every little thing you’ve mentioned to him in passing. he wants to know every little detail about you, to write it down and memorize it until the knowledge becomes stuck in the back of his head. to the point that it becomes like common sense to him (if there were ever a pop quiz on facts about you, he would pass with flying colors.) at the end of every date, or every time he hangs out with you, he’ll update his notes with another little thing he’d learned. you will never catch him admitting it out loud, but it definitely shows in how he treats you.

there is one thing he’d memorized about you, by now, though. it’s written in bold, italicized, and underlined in his notes: you hate mushrooms. 

rin catches himself looking at the ingredients of certain meals whenever the two of you would eat at a new restaurant, or order food from an unfamiliar place. it’s not that he’s necessarily a picky eater because, frankly, he really doesn’t care. but he wants you to enjoy it, he wants you to be able to eat without stressing about having to pick it out. his eyes are always scanning through the print, actively checking if mushrooms are one of the ingredients listed. 

but, there are times when the ingredients aren’t listed, and there are times when you end up ordering something with mushrooms in it. 

he may be dense in certain aspects, but it’s hard for him to miss the disappointed look on your face. the way your expression falls ever so slightly, and your smile falters for half a second. before you could dig in, before you could even put yourself through five minutes of digging through the food— he’s swiftly grabbing it from you. 

truthfully, he does it without thinking. he’s acting on his thoughts before he could even process what he’s doing. rin tries to fight the blush that threatens to form on his cheeks, the way the heat crawls up his neck and to his face at the realization of what he’d done, and he fails. but he’s committed to the act now, and he’s not going to give it back to you until he’s done what he needed to do.

he tries to ignore the somewhat perplexed look on your face, and the way you watch him closely as his fingers make quick work of moving the mushrooms from your plate to his. (he tries to sneak in some of your favorite food from his plate to yours, but he’s not slick, and you definitely notice.)

“here,” he says, pushing the plate closer to you after a few minutes. “you can eat it now.”

he sees you glance at the plate, and then back up at him— he looks away as you beam at him with a grateful smile, trying to ignore his ever-increasing heart rate. 

itoshi sae remembers the small details about your routine.

it is almost guaranteed that sae will wake up before you do. his alarm is set to go off at the crack of dawn, right as the sun starts to peek through the horizon, and he's starting his day while you're still in deep sleep. there’s a set routine that he follows, to a tee: wake up (and then contemplate staying in bed, just to cuddle with you a little longer), stretch, do morning yoga, and then go on a jog. it’s something he’d been doing for years, and he has never gone out of his way to add anything new to his routine— that is, until one morning. 

at first, it started with a random thought. as he was getting ready to leave the house, to go for his morning jog, he had unsystematically decided to set out your favorite mug and go-to morning snack. 

sae didn’t think it would be that significant to you, and he, initially, had no plans of doing it again. he simply had extra time to spare, and he knew that making your morning drink was always the first part to your routine, so he decided to get the first step out of the way for you.

truly, he wasn’t planning to make a habit out of this. but then, you told him, “that was a sweet way to start off my morning,” with that sleepy, morning smile of yours. he tries to not pay attention to the way his heart softens at the sight, and the realization that that had made him happy. yet now, he does it every time.

from then on, his alarm was always set to go off two minutes earlier. it’s rewarding, in his opinion, to come home to you— sitting at the dining table, messy hair and still in your pajamas, eyes half-lidded from sleep, with a smile on your face as you take a sip from the mug. and then you greet him with a thank you and a kiss, without fail, even when he tries to lightly guide you away because he’s sweaty.

it never works, because he folds the second you tell him, “g’morning. i missed you.” and he finds himself adding another part to his schedule. 

before sae’s even aware of it, much of his daily habits had been molded to fit with yours. 

on days where he’s far from home, in another country, he finds that his morning just never feels right without you. it feels weird not having to set out your favorite mug, and it feels even weirder not having you there to smother him in kisses. his routine had always determined his mood, and without you, he’s extra sour. 

“i miss you,” he ends up texting you. (that, too, becomes part of his routine when he’s far from you.)

michael kaiser has all your subtle behaviors memorized.

if kaiser were to be asked to name one annoying habit of yours, it would be the fact that you, sometimes, say things that contradict how you truly feel. he calls you pesky, he tells you that he’ll take your word for it and not read too deeply into whatever you’re saying— but, in a way, he’s contradicting himself too by saying that. he’ll always read into it; he’ll always analyze you, gaze narrowed, and watching for every subtle sign in your body language. he knows you, all too well. 

but there’s one thing you always say, one contradictory statement that you always make, that he’d memorized at this point. “it’s okay, i’m not cold,” even when you visibly are.

it irks him to no end. he doesn’t understand why you would say that even when there are goosebumps scattered all over your skin, when you have your arms wrapped around yourself, and you’re visibly trembling. he can practically see the bones under your skin, rattling, making some comical, cartoony noise in his head. you know that he can see you, and yet, you still lie to him.

and, at times, he does this on purpose— he puts the air conditioning in the car on full blast, all vents pointed at you, just to see how far you’re willing to go. and every time, it’s always the same, with the same answer.

kaiser isn’t completely cruel, however. he’s tucked one of his spare hoodies (your favorite, actually) into the backseat, existing purely for your use. first, he’ll scoff at you, roll his eyes, and let you suffer for a few more minutes. but eventually, the guilt will catch up to him, and he’ll constantly be glancing at you through his periphery, shaking and looking absolutely miserable in your seat.

he’ll think to himself for a second, as if contemplating whether he’ll actually help you out (he always does, he does not want you to actually suffer). and then, he’ll internally sigh, before speaking up. “stupid,” he mutters under his breath. “i have a spare hoodie in the back, take it.”

it’s almost laughable, the way you quickly turn your body around to reach for the backseat, visibly seeking warmth. he sees the look of pure joy in your eyes when you realize that it’s your favorite, and he smiles to himself.

“you’re the best,” you always tell him, as you pull the fabric over your head, and he's content. 

he doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t reprimand you— he lets you do this, every single time.

oliver aiku is always willing to listen to you ramble.

it doesn’t matter if aiku’s had an exceptionally long day, it doesn’t matter if he feels as if he’s on the verge of succumbing to sleep— he will always make time for you. he will never pass up a chance to call you, to listen to you talk about whatever you want, whenever you want. you could talk for hours, going on and on about something that he doesn’t quite understand, and not a single complaint will slip past his lips. then again, he thinks to himself, why would he complain? hearing your voice is the best part of any day, good or bad. and every night, he finds himself waiting by his phone, waiting for your contact to appear on his screen.

he finds no shame at the speed in which he accepts your call, which is immediately, nor does he try to mask the anticipation in his voice.

and if he were to look into a mirror at that exact moment, he would also see the lovesick smile that had started to tug on the corners of his lips. you can’t see him, but he’s sure you can hear it in his voice. the way it softens, the way it loses its rough edges and lightens up ever so slightly, when he greets you. you probably know he’s grinning from ear-to-ear. (he doesn’t think he is, but when it comes to you, he’s completely transparent.)

it doesn’t take long before you’re divulging into another one of your endless tangents. but aiku’s attention remains undivided, only for you. he sits on the other side of the phone, silently, only responding when you want him to. it doesn’t matter if his own thoughts are clouded with exhaustion, his mind racing with the weight of the day—when you call, everything else fades into nothingness.

“did you know that venus is an evening star for 263 days out of the year?” he can hear the excitement in your voice, he can practically see the sparkle in your eyes, even without seeing you. it’s been three hours, and he’s sure that he should’ve been in bed one hour ago. but you’re still as energetic as ever, so he fights the way his body craves for sleep. he locks his jaw, and bites back a yawn, and listens. “and then, the fact that it disappears from the sky for 50 days, before returning as a morning star?”

there’s silence on your end, and aiku takes that as his cue to talk. “no,” he responds, and there’s an amused lilt in his tone. “i didn’t, actually. you should tell me more.” and you do. 

one look at the clock to his side tells him that, at this point, he won’t be getting enough sleep. he’s sure he’s going to be exhausted when he wakes up in the morning— though, he doesn’t really care, and he’s sure he won’t regret it. he’ll let you ramble about the stars for as long as you want, even when the stars themselves start to fade into the morning sky.

Blue Lock characters when the reader runs their hands through their hair!

bllkxgn!reader

Nagi Seishiro

Nagi leaned into your touch like a lazy cat, his eyes half-lidded as you combed your fingers through his silvery locks. “Mm, feels nice,” he muttered, voice drowsy, as though he was seconds from falling asleep. He didn’t move, except for the occasional tilt of his head to guide your hand to where he wanted. “Keep going,” he murmured, utterly relaxed. “It’s too much of a hassle to stop now.”

Rin Itoshi

Rin stiffened the moment your fingers brushed his hair. “What are you doing?” he asked, his voice sharp despite the faint redness dusting his ears. But when you didn’t stop, his gaze softened ever so slightly, though his expression stayed guarded. He sighed, barely audible. “Just… don’t mess it up,” he mumbled, his eyes flicking to the side as if to hide his face from you.

Sae Itoshi

Sae arched an eyebrow as you ran your fingers through his hair. “You’re awfully bold, huh?” he teased, though there was no malice in his tone. His lips curled into a faint smirk as he leaned back slightly, allowing you better access. “I guess I’ll let you, just this once,” he said, his voice smooth, though the way his eyes lingered on you suggested he was enjoying this far more than he let on.

Yoichi Isagi

Isagi froze, his face flushing immediately as you started playing with his hair. “W-what are you doing?” he stammered, trying but failing to hide how flustered he was. When he realized you weren’t stopping, he gave up, his shoulders relaxing slightly. “I guess it’s fine,” he mumbled, his cheeks still pink. But he couldn’t stop the small, shy smile that tugged at his lips.

Bachira Meguru

Bachira practically purred, tilting his head into your hand like he was starved for attention. “Hehehe, this is fun!” he giggled, his golden eyes shining with delight. “Go on, more! I bet you can make me fall asleep like this.” His grin widened as he reached up to tug at your wrist playfully. “You better not get bored, okay? I wanna keep this up forever!”

Reo Mikage

Reo blinked in surprise when your fingers slipped through his hair, but he quickly adjusted, his confidence kicking in. “Enjoying yourself?” he asked with a playful smirk, though the faint blush on his cheeks betrayed his composure. He leaned closer, resting his chin in his hand. “You know, if you like my hair so much, I wouldn’t mind you doing this more often,” he said casually, though his eyes were warm and earnest.

best big brother ever.

rindou x reader

genre(s): fluff, crack

hi, this is a tiktok trend for anyone wondering

“if you wanna get to him, you gotta get through me first,” your possessive and bold words immediately drew rindou’s attention towards you. his lilac eyes narrowed as he confusingly tried to make sense of the situation.

rindou had been minding his own business on the couch, listening to some songs out loud. when you had come over to sit next to him, which was just a second ago, he paid it no mind. but, now you were threatening your phone camera?

as if he wasn’t already in a confused state, you turned to face him with that mischievous smile he’s come to dread. then, your hand clawed around his chin, pulling him closer to smash your lips against his.

now he was in complete shock.

before he could even comprehend what the hell was happening, you pulled away just as swiftly as you came and turned back to your phone.

“best brother ever,” you enunciated, a proud smile adorning your lips. rindou’s heart stopped. his hand immediately flew to snatch your recording phone away from you, throwing you a disgusted glare at the same time.

“what the hell is wrong with you?” his question made it hard not to just burst out laughing then and there.

“what do you mean, big bro?” you innocently asked, your tone much softer as you tilted your head at him. he hated the way his heart fooled him to feel a pang of guilt at the sight of your obvious act.

“i’m not your big bro!” he hurriedly replies, giving your shoulder a small shove. unlucky for you, he was quick to move his attention back to your phone, obviously about to delete the video.

“rindou, it’s a prank! don’t delete the video!” you hastily beg, moving to try to claim your phone back from his hands.

“i’m not letting you make people think we’re siblings,” he grumbled, practically jumping over the joke and continuing to hold the phone out of your reach. his fingers were quick to delete the video, much to your dismay. his reaction truly would’ve gone viral.

“rin, that’s a whole trend. no one’s gonna believe we’re siblings,” the whine leaves your lips, upset that he deleted something so funny. in his eyes, he couldn’t believe that you were the one pouting. still, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt.

he huffed, tossing your phone back to you. “don’t care, that was probably the stupidest thing you’ve ever said. i’m saving you face,” he claimed, moving his arm around your shoulders to pull you closer. despite his words, he was obviously trying to make you feel somewhat better.

“geez, rin, i take what back what i said earlier. you’re actually the worst brother ever,” you mirrored his huff with an eye roll, not being able to resist teasing him.

“i’m not your brother!” he immediately replied, pushing you away from him once again. unlucky for him that he’s just so easy to poke fun at.

OMG WE'RE MATCHING!!

-headcanons of items that you'd match with each other hehe, very fluffy lol, short short short, this is my way of saying that I'd love to match with my babies. REBLOGS + INTERACTIONS ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!

-pairings : reo, chigiri, isagi, rin x reader (separate)

╰►REO :

He'd definitely be the type to get a pair of matching rings. They're expensive too, probably from Tiffany and co. or some big brand like that. Reo would buy these gorgeous pair of diamond rings for couples which would make your eyes almost pop out of their sockets. You would chastise him for getting such an expensive item too but all he would say is that it's a sign of commitment. He'd get so confused when you would tell him that you can't wear it daily.

"What? Why?" Reo would ask, a tinge of hurt taking over him filling you with immense sadness.

"Baby these are expensive. I don't wanna lose them by mistake or have someone steal them," you would hold his hand in reassurance.

He'd find a way for that too. The very next day he gets two thin silver chains for the rings. That way you can wear it and have the ring on you daily without losing it!

╰► CHIGIRI :

I think you guys probably saw this coming but Chigiri would definitely get like these hair ties or scrunchies. He'd buy these sets of 2 and would give you one while the other stays with him. You bet he'd always wear the hair tie or scrunchie on his wrist without fail. He would never take it off and if he ever sees you without it, he'd probably frown a little bit asking where the hair tie was. You would also trade them. He would take yours and you would take his whenever you felt like it and he was always open to it. He probably doesn't like sharing his hair items but when it comes to you taking his hair tie, he'd gladly give it to you and take yours too. Oh he would also try out hairstyles on you and tie your hair with his gift. So sweet.

╰► ISAGI :

Isagi is a bracelet guy. He had bought this simple bracelet with an infinity charm for the both of you before joining blue lock as a parting gift. He would never take it off and neither would you because it was the only reminder you both had of each other. Coming out of blue lock, his popularity hit a surge. His strength as a footballer increased ten folds, he changed a lot overall. However, what still remained was the bracelet he'd got for the two of you. Seeing the little accessory, you knew he had and always would be your Isagi. Later, when he's even more popular, on covers of magazines as a star football player and a lot richer than he was years ago, he gets a more luxe bracelet. Don't get me wrong, he still wears the little infinity charm one but he gets the pair of you, two new golden bracelets with little embellishments of precious gems as you both are settling down. So now both of your wrists have not one but two bracelets as a sign of forever!

╰►RIN :

In his case, you would be the one getting something. Probably like a set of matching t-shirts, and I am talking about those t-shirts that had ‘I LOVE MY S/O’ or ‘IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN TO THEM’ ‘I AM THEM’ printed on them in bold. You had the most mischievous grin plastered on your face as he opened the packaging to find two absolutely hideous choices of garments (he would frame it like that, not me). However with a bit of whining and a little bit of bringing out your inner theatrics would finally lead him to wear the t-shirts. He would mostly wear it at home whenever you would wear your one. However, recent paparazzi pictures of him showed him wearing that specific t-shirt paired with some jeans and shades, a cup of coffee in his hand. When it reached you through the power of the internet, it sent you hollering. There were memes being posted every second and you lost no opportunity to troll your boyfriend. Rin would be so embarrassed but hey as long as you were entertained right?

y/n was standing there with nobody else near her, spamming her two obnoxious friends who set this up. she was sitting on the bench near the shop waiting for one of them to show up.

3:31

still no one, y/n was starting to lose hope. as she started to get up she heard her name called. "y/n, hey" it turned out to be the one and only akaashi who looked just as confused at you.

"hey, i have no idea where rin and kenma are. they probably did this on purpose." y/n laughed to herself. "why would they do that?" he asked confused. "oh i don't know." y/n corrected.

4:19

they figured out rintaro and kenma were never going to show up. so they decided to make the most and walk around the city. they somehow ended up at the local library and he was explaining his favorite book to her.

she was enjoying herself, which was weird. she didn't actually have feelings for him. i mean, she met him a week ago?

𖤓 suna and kenma were planning that ever since they heard about the coffee incident

𖤓 keiji had a feeling that they were gonna ditch them but he didn't mind.

𖤓 y/n on the other hand had no idea, she knew they were acting weird but didn't know they were gonna do that.

𖤓 when y/n found out keiji was going to her show she started rehearsing in her room.

𖤓 suna and kenma were hiding out at kuroo,bo,tsumu, and shos until she texted them again.

[rd0265667]

Haerin as your girlfriend

❃Definitely has an adjustment period when dating you

❃At first, when she isn't too comfy with initiating too much physical contact, will express her love in her own unique way

❃The two of you would just be hanging out and she would do things like rub your head, or if she's feeling bold, holds your hand and lightly kisses it, before blushing and turning around

❃But once she gets comfortable with you, you're never gonna be separated from her(not that you want to)

❃She clings on to you wherever the two of you are, and she never gets embarrassed because she's too focused on you to care

❃When you're doing anything, she just stands in the corner staring at you intently(as Haerin does), and when you spot her, she quickly slinks away, only to relocate at another position to watch you, waiting to finally be able to cling on to you again

❃100% against having pets, especially cats, because she's the only kitty for you

❃Loves when you call her nicknames, especially rin, rinnie or Goyangi, and will start squealing to herself, then hugs you, burying her face into your side to hide her face

❃Her favourite way of showing affection is when she lightly caresses your face, resting her forehead on yours and touching your nose with hers, before kissing your nose, laughing as she sees you scrunch your nose up

❃Loves to cuddle with you, but won't ever stay still. Whenever the two of you are lying about together, she loves to crawl and pounce on you, like you two would be just chilling and she would suddenly jump onto you and then just snuggle into you

❃She's the biggest advocate for zero waste fashion

❃What that is is her excuse to take your clothes.

❃Whenever you outgrow a shirt, it immediately goes to her collection of clothes. Things like your old shirts that have grown too small for you? New pyjamas for her! Your old hoodies that you've outgrown? Her new hoodies!

❃Sometimes she drops the facade, stealing your newly bought hoodies, not realising that you had bought two with the intention to give her one

❃There was even once she collected some of your old clothes, combined those with her own old clothes, knitting a blanket for the two of you.

❃That blanket is basically hers though. Whenever the two of you lie under the blanket, she would keep turning and moving and spinning, till you're left exposed and she's bundled up in the blanket like a cat burrito

❃The best listener. Whenever you have rants or anything to say, she'll listen intently and stay very focused, even if it's about something she has no clue about

❃Whenever she's had a long day at practice or MV training, she finds you, and falls into your arms wordlessly, and you'd understand, holding her and whispering sweet nothings to her until she's feeling happy again, when she would then proceed to drown you in affection

❃She often sends you pictures of two cats and caption it, "This reminds me of us"

❃Loves to make food for you, and leaves small romantic notes on the food so you get a sweet surprise whenever you eat your food

❃Her wallpaper is you unboxing the blanket when she first presented it to you

loving blue lock boys as ts songs : hcs

includes: isagi, bachira, chigiri, kunigami, nagi, reo, rin warnings: none really! just light swearing. let me know if you guys want a part 2!!

isagi yoichi - lover

isagi yoichi who loves like he came straight out of a classic romantic comedy. he says the right things, he does what he needs to and more- he loves you completely. he’s absolutely perfect, so what could you do for him?

at night, the feeling of insecurity would creep up to you- even with him on the other side of the bed. you were sure he wanted you, but sometimes, you just couldn’t understand why.

fortunately, your boyfriend is incredibly observant. he had been watching your actions, how you were somewhat distancing yourself. he spoke up after a few minutes. you told him why, and he just couldn’t comprehend it. how do you feel like exact same way he feels about you?

he held you close all evening, not letting you out of his grasp. isagi loved one person, and he was gonna make damn sure you knew it was you. just you, his lover.

bachira meguru - fearless

bachira meguru who makes you feel free. you can do anything with him by your side, even wilder things you’d never do beforehand, even things you would’ve found ridiculous in the past. he brings out a stronger side of you.

on your first date, it rained and poured all of a sudden. you were upset at the unfortunate happening, but bachira saw things differently. that evening, you two danced in the rain- laughing and giggling as you twirled each other around. it was going to be a core memory of yours, for sure.

bachira even gave you a piggyback going home to your place, he helped you dry off before taking his leave and thanking you.

it was then that his fearlessness affected you, as you leaned in to give him a peck on the cheek. only he could encourage you to make such a bold move.

chigiri hyoma - gorgeous

chigiri hyoma who is frustratingly pretty. seriously, how much time did the gods spend on him? it annoys you. his red hair, his soft skin, his perfume that’s vanilla scented- it pisses you off.

that’s why, when you made eye contact with him during his team’s celebration, you cursed mentally. to distract yourself, you went around the room, talking to everyone but him. you couldn’t bring yourself to speak with the panther-like boy.

in a few hours, having too much to drink, you swayed around the crowd with a pink face. chigiri caught you in his arms then. until when were you going to ignore him? your boyfriend, who you argued with before the party. he wouldn’t accept your comments on how attractive he was, and you got... angry? you showed said anger through avoiding him. how could he deny your compliments? it genuinely upset you.

spitting half-meant insults at him, the red-head rolled his eyes as he bid his teammates goodbye, taking you to the car. if being with him meant seeing his stupid, gorgeous face everyday, maybe you wouldn’t mind.

kunigami rensuke - hey stephen

kunigami rensuke who is so easy to adore. though initially intimidating, it’s obvious to all how good his heart is. you’d call him an angel, and he’d call you one in return.

he’s so good, you can’t help but hold back sometimes. with his career on the rise, you don’t want to distract him. you don’t want to be in the way. as a result, you start subconsciously avoiding the love of your life. he doesn’t approve of it one bit.

kunigami worries, did he do something? he knew he had changed since wildcard- but his love for you never did, ever. you were his motivation. he confronts you about it, terrified you might not want him anymore. the possibility scares the shit out of him.

but it wasn’t the case, you still want him more than anything. you explain how you much you love him, the way he walks, talks, and says your name. you could write songs. in your rambling, you fail to notice how close he gets to you- until he presses his lips against yours. you really are an angel to him.

nagi seishiro - sweet nothing

nagi seishiro who is the definition of comfortable silence. neither you or him expect much of each other, even being in the same room is a love language you two share. he lies his head down on your lap, while you watch tv or read a book. moments like that are priceless to you two.

the outside world is noisy and messy, you’re reminded of it quite often. whether through the news or from personal experience, you know how frantic life can become. sometimes, the chaos becomes too tiring for you, who’s too soft for it all.

you come home, exhausted, to see your boyfriend in the kitchen. he knows, he always does. wrapping his arms around your figure, tears start falling from your eyes as he silently pats your back in comfort.

though nagi is quiet, you can hear the sweet nothings from the way his heart beat with yours. you wouldn’t have it any other way.

mikage reo - mine

mikage reo who has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, besides his career- and you, of course. you were an incredibly careful person, and he was a person who could be reckless if he wanted to be. you walked slowly, and he ran through as many obstacles as possible. you hated the taunts of life, while he found them exciting.

those differences were but minor factors to the two of you, though. they brought you closer despite the fights, despite the arguments. you were both meant for each other, connected by the universe.

reo was sure of all this, but was especially reassured when he saw the moving trucks approach the house he had purchased. he watched as the workers unloaded an assortment of furniture from the vehicles. a new beginning was to start, with you next to him.

you sat down next to each other, positioning yourselves on a red couch temporarily placed on your driveway. this new beginning relied on you both.

itoshi rin - ours

itoshi rin who thinks of you even as he gets on the plane for another game abroad. he hates leaving you, he truly does- and you hate it too, it was mutual. but you couldn’t stop him from leaving every other week.

your days go by slowly without his sharp remarks and icy glares, you even start to miss the word “lukewarm”. but you’d wait, there was no way you wouldn’t. he was more than worth waiting for, no matter how many times he had to go.

you’re laying on your bed when you hear the door of your apartment open, footsteps can be heard running towards your bedroom. the door is briskly opened to reveal your boyfriend, seemingly out of breath. he wasn’t supposed to be home yet, but you were ecstatic to see him.

after a moment of eye-contact, he knelt before you. it was then that he promised to marry you, he wasn’t gonna leave you alone ever again. fuck, he couldn’t bare it. the life rin lived was no longer just his, but yours too.

[flyingwargle]

osamu knows suna is at his door, has been for the last ten minutes. he refuses to let him in.

he can hear the raucous knocks while buried under his thin blankets. unread notifications pile on his phone, probably from his boyfriend to let him in, or his brother telling him to let his boyfriend in.

they didn’t have a fight or anything; osamu just isn’t in the right state of mind to meet him. the end of the semester is always stressful, and suna visits every time to care for him. osamu loves him for that, but just this once, he wishes he wasn’t here, was held back by practice, or something. he doesn’t want to be seen like this, barely hanging on a thread–

the lock turns. the door clicks open. osamu jolts upright. how the hell did he–

suna catches his eye, studio apartment and all. he doesn’t look surprised, lazy eyes narrowed with the faintest spark of concern. his backpack hangs over one shoulder, plastic bag in hand. “i knew you were ignoring me.”

“how’d ya–“

he lifts a familiar set of keys with his pinky. “you can thank your brother.” suna pockets them, turns to take groceries out from his bag. “i’ll start lunch. you can go back to moping, or whatever.”

“rin–“

osamu draws back when his boyfriend shoots him a look. “i’ll cook. i learned from the best, after all.”

“no,” he mutters as suna turns his back. “i’m not.” bold of suna to say that when the aforementioned best bombed his cooking assessment and nearly sent one of his instructors to the hospital because of his mistake. not to mention what his mentor said the other day, still raw and painful to touch.

suna moves through his kitchenette with ease – he learned how to tango with the pots and pans, cutting boards and knives, bowls and plates. he drops a handful of vegetables in the sink to wash, prepares them one at a time. curious, osamu wraps a blanket around himself and shuffles to his side, watching him dice a green bell pepper, onion, and mushroom. from the fridge, he removes a package of sausages to dice along with slices of bacon. on the stove, a pot of water boils, and suna spreads spaghetti noodles around the rim. a bottle of ketchup remains on the counter.

of course he’s cooking napolitan. it’s the first dish that osamu ever taught him.

“making sure i don’t burn your kitchen down?” suna teases, glancing at him.

he could, and osamu would blame the oil instead. “nah, i trust ya.”

after the noodles are cooked, he strains them, leaves them aside while he sautés the protein and vegetables, adding a generous amount of ketchup. tossing some butter in, he adds the noodles, combines it altogether. osamu hands him a pair of plates, lets him dress the dishes by twisting the spaghetti with his tongs, artfully placing the sautéed vegetables and meat on the sides, and then grates cheese on top. suna grins at him. “lunch is served.”

osamu clears the dining table of his books and laptop so they can eat. it’s always refreshing to eat someone else’s food, someone who isn’t trained in the art of spices, knows the science behind boiling the optimal pasta, isn’t worried about pleasing a variety of palates and tastes…

“hey.” he blinks, suddenly aware of the hand over his. suna looks at him with a frown. “is something wrong?”

“sorry.” osamu swallows the lump in his throat, tries to enjoy his meal. “just stressed. ya know, it’s the end of the semester, an’ all. what ‘bout ya? don’t ya have plans for the off-season?”

“yeah, making sure my boyfriend is cared for.” suna doesn’t look away. “you’re about to cry.”

“no, i ain’t.”

“’samu, i know the look. what happened?”

this is why he didn’t want him here, but at the same time, he does. osamu takes in a breath, feels the familiar pressure behind his eyes, the tightness in his chest. “i bombed my assessment yesterday.”

“i’m sorry. i’m sure you did great–“

“no, rin, i almost put one of the instructors in the hospital ‘cause i used somethin’ they were allergic to. we all knew beforehand but i forgot, an’-“ he closes his eyes. the first tear drops. “but that’s not even the worse thing. ya know, my mentor? i looked up ta him so much, but when i told ‘im i wanted ta open my own restaurant, he just…he…”

i admire your determination, miya, but it’ll be impossible, especially with onigiri. it might be a simple dish, but it’s easy to mess up, and although you’re diligent, i don’t think you have the skills for it.

did he really have to say that, after a year and a half of culinary school? literally a semester away from graduating, from scouting locations for his shop, from fulfilling his dream? now, all he can hear is his mentor’s sigh and apologetic tone. all he can see is his pinched expression and weak smile. i don’t think you have the skills for it.

suna wraps him in a hug. “i’m so sorry. that bastard doesn’t know anything.”

“what if it’s true?” osamu whispers. “i almost poisoned someone. i almost failed business management. i almost chopped my lab partner’s hand off–“

“’samu, you said it yourself – almost. but you didn’t, and you’re aware of what you did wrong. plus, who cares if you suck at numbers? i said i’ll help, and so did your brother, and gin, aran – even kita-san. we’re all here to help.” suna smiles at him. “we help each other with our dreams, did you forget?”

they all attended aran’s debut match. they were subjects for ginjima’s kinesiology projects. they bought all of kita’s rice stock on the first day of opening his business. and now, it’s his turn.

“i shouldn’t hafta rely on ya,” osamu murmurs. “a business owner should be able ta do everything themselves–“

“that’s not right, and you know it. just like volleyball, it takes more than one to be successful, and if you struggle, there’s always someone you can ask to help. that’s where i come in, yeah?”

“yeah. thanks, rin. i really appreciate ya.”

“and you mean more to me than words can ever measure. eat your food and let’s look at properties together.”

cuddled on his bed with his laptop shared between them, it eases the doubt in osamu’s heart, receded for another day. it has a way of manifesting at his most vulnerable moments, but he knows that when it happens, suna will be there for him, and reassure him that everything will turn out fine because he isn’t alone.

@mejxmemkodofoof requested: yandere!rin + "I want to keep you all to myself" // no lukewarm love v-day event !

cw: suggestive, dark content, yandere, implied noncon. mdni

rin has never put much thought into how intense he experiences things.

if anything, it only ever helped and brought him so much praise - enough to make it feel like he's about to choke on it. hardworking, passionate. he'll get far in life - in football, or anything else he puts his mind into. (bold of them to think he's ever going to quit. not happening, until he climbs his way to the very top - he's not a quitter, never has been.) he can and will achieve everything his heart desires. that's how he is - calculated and controlled, focused and rapt. yet underneath, his heart thumps and blood boils, every nerve sparks as passion runs rampage in every cell and flickers behind turquoise irises, that perhaps look all too crazed all too often.

rin never really paid attention to his instinctive yet driven nature - not unless it was on the field and devoured every single player in his path.

not until he's met you.

one look at your face - bright and inviting, eerily familiar and nostalgic, as if he's been longing to see you for his entire life and then some - and it's like something awakens, splinters deep inside and pulls at his heart until it swells against his ribcage.

it's only natural you end up in the passenger seat of his aston martin later that night, all smiles and gentle laughter. a saccharine melody that still sounds so, so sweet, despite the booze you've been sipping on the past few hours, concealed in bright, blue syrups.

rin feels it's ironic. perhaps, there might be something just equally bitter laced underneath the vibrant teal of his eyes, too.

something to knock you off your feet, creep up on you - hit it's high when you willingly, stupidly take, take, take even more. something so honeyed, sugary sweet - all until it makes you hurl.

if everything rin's ever felt was intense, then your presence must be an entire tidal wave. it steals his breath away, brings his hands to a tremble when he laces his fingers with your own, holding you down and urging the highest pitches from your swollen, glossed lips. it eats away at his insides, dismantles any illusion of control, and throws him off the edge - right into your warm embrace.

you want to take things slow - that much he grasps from the convo you share next morning, sipping on some brazilian blend that suddenly tastes sweeter than ever when shared with you. rin watches you, teal eyes observant, and if the way his gaze follows your every notion is anything to go by, the must not be tired at all; not even from how he's had you pressed into the sheets until the sun started bleeding through the blinds.

he can take things slow. he can, for you. rin understands - he really does - when your eyes widen a bit upon his casual comment on how he has practice later today and therefore cannot take you to dinner like he wishes he could. he understands when you sheepishly admit that you have recognized his face from somewhere, but couldn't quite place it.

he doesn't mind. if anything, he's grateful he's barely a blank page to you. and fine, maybe the suddenly timid behavior of yours makes something deep inside him corrode into something ugly and possessive - but again, rin pays no mind to it.

to you, he can be anything and everything you want him to be. not just the national team's captain, not the star striker, not a name plastered with all the possible titles one could dream of. for you, rin can be anything your heart desires - you just have to let him.

and it's a tough, bumpy road to make you love him as much as he loves you. a reality check of sorts, one that suddenly rips off any bandage rin has tried to slap on the sweltering passion, seeping out the jagged wounds his adoration for you inflicts. it's an endless cycle, but he can make it just fine.

rin can take it.

he can see some more of the gentle smiles when you bid him goodbye at your doorstep, hair still disheveled and eyes hazy with sleep that he knows you'll get right back to as soon as he walks out. you need your rest after all - you're going out later that night, for one of your friends birthday - dressed up like his eyes on you are not enough, as if you've got someone else to impress.

he can force himself to nod and even offer a rare, small smile when you insist that he doesn't need to come and pick you up. don't be silly, rin. i'll text you when i'm home if that makes you feel better? it won't - but he appreciates the effort and deludes himself that you honestly, truly want to ease his worries away, even the ones you're the very reason for.

he can push the sour ache that rips its way through his chest when you turn down his offer to take you out - again. he's not throwing you on deep waters, doesn't push or nag. and yet, your eyes refuse to meet his own - perhaps fearful he'll find the uncertainty simmering behind them - when he suggests you attend one of his teammate's party together. as casual as it gets, but still not enough to not scare you away. rin, don't get me wrong, it's just... you said we don't need to rush, and it's a lot. everyone will know.

it irks something, he has to give you that. for a second, it seems like you want to make him feel dumber than he is. of course everyone will know - that's the point. it annoys him that you keep acting as if you're delusional, not noticing the not-so-subtle signs. but it's okay.

it's you, so for now, it's okay.

it's okay, until it isn't. rin has it under control until you force it right out of his hands, smooth the creases in his knuckles out with saccharine words that bleed into the humid midnight air and bounce off the egyptian cotton sheets.

"you're not telling me enough," you whisper into his bare chest, and maybe if it wasn't for the sleep overcoming your senses, you would've heard - felt - the erratic beat of his poor, poor heart. "y' need to talk to me, rin."

and talk he does. it spills out, all of it - all the passion he's so well known for, that floods the field and soaks into the turf, leaving no spot unsoiled by this overwhelming dedication of his. but this time, it seeps into you - something far more fragile, perhaps naive for thinking that you can handle it - handle the entirety of him.

clammy hands find their place on either side of your face, cupping the soft plush of your cheeks with utter care - a distinction to the sharp, overwhelming desire ripping through the turquoise eyes you thought you knew.

"i want to keep you all to myself," rin confesses at last and feels his chest hollow at the way your body tenses up - almost jerks away from the sheer force behind his words. "and it scares me. i want you, and i love you. you just need to let me."

perhaps, he was delusional.

almost childishly, foolishly so, for thinking that it wouldn't scare you, too.

but he held onto it, tight until it broke skin and stung. as if you were a storm and the remnant of hope was his lifeline, something to cling to as he continues to wish the greed eventually dies down. but it never does, instead feeds from the confusion and sheer panic that arises when days pass by and you grace him with less attention than he's used to - that you've gotten him hooked on.

it's unfair. it's scary and intimidating and unlike anything he's ever felt before - and he's felt a lot.

and when rin feels something, it hits him full force and knocks the airout of his lungs. when he loves, it's until you're choking on it, inhaling his devotion with every desperate breath - you might not know it yet. maybe he doesn't, either - but his instincts has never failed him yet. right now, they're louder as ever and tint his vision red - the color of passion, the very thing that clings to him every step of the way, and makes him who he is.

rin feels a lot, but he's learnt to live with it. wild and impulsive, yet collected and steady - two sides of one coin that he knows how to balance just fine, but somehow, when your face comes to mind, he cannot bring himself to do it.

he can keep it together for a little longer, and maybe smile a bit while he's at it, too. you're just a smidge too reckless, forget about the lost pair of keys far too quick than he'd like you to. they were never lost in the first place, instead safely tucked into the pocket of his jacket - a fucked up souvenir of sorts, maybe - but that you're unaware of. and yet, you still don't pay it much mind anymore. who would even want to break in here, rinnie? - then, a laugh, one that he doesn't reciprocate - c'mon, it's not a big deal.

he wishes you could keep the same attitude until a couple nights later, for when you stir awake in the dark, only to meet his frenzied eyes - but you don't, and perhaps he pushes his palm against your mouth a bit too rough, yeah, but it's what he has to do.

rin hopes you understand - just like he understood you.

as he licks the tears off your warm cheek and forces his other hand between your trembling thighs, for a split second he thinks that it's the least you owe him.

[iwaasfairy]

The rin and sae fic was amazing! I just want to know what happened after. I mean how both sae and rin felt? What will happen if they see sae again?

I leave the series there because I kinda want to leave you guessing a little bit but,,, hmmm if I had to say

Rin’s sense of value really stems from being compared to Sae and beating him in some way, but when it comes to their imouto he really felt beat in every way and still loves her so much despite it. So I think now that he’s finally got her, there’s nothing he won’t do to keep her. Rin is really fucking bold when it comes to taking what he wants from his little sister.

The only limit really is what she’ll let him get away with!! If that’s sleeping in the same bed every night whispering her name or fucking her in shared showers or become her husband then that’s what he’ll do.

And Sae well,,, does feel regret over how things happened. Deep down he knows he was wrong and despite wanting to be, he knows he’s probably not the right person to keep you company. He doesn’t even really want to try to be. That’s Rin’s thing. Rin is the try hard, Sae just reaps the rewards. Even his little sister was all over him without really having to try and because He tried to do something nice by giving her to Rin, now he’s being punished for it.

Sae likes to think he can leave it at that and be a better niisan than he was (by maybe not fucking his little sister and then abandoning her right after). I think once the feeling of regret gets too strong he’ll come right back to softly manipulating her into his arms, and she’s soft and caring so she’ll probably want to just be with her two big brothers again.

But Rin is never ever gonna let that happen again.

When they see each other again little sister will probably have a ring on her finger with Rin wrapped around her back glaring daggers. He’ll just have to remind imouto of what Sae did to fuck it up. How he’s not like him, Rin loves her more than anything and he’d never leave her, but she can’t betray him, ever. She can’t leave. He won’t let her.

Author's note: Okay listen, just know some of my post will not be getting they're parts yet- it's mainly because I have so many ideas and want to get them all out before I forget so it may take a while for some of my different headcanon post so bare with me. Also sorry these are short.

______________________________________

Bachira Meguru 👾⚽:

The way they kiss:

Pesonally I think Bachira's kisses are usually quick and sweet.

He's someone who lives for excitement, and his brain sometimes runs a thousands miles per hour so he likes quick kisses.

He loves the quick kisses because it allows him to kiss you multiple times and you still enjoy them.

Sure there are times he kisses you softer and slower but he prefers super quick kisses that are just long enough to make your lips tingle.

When he does kiss you slower, and alot gentler be warned it will taste like something usually sweet.

He will usually eat your favorite fruit or sweet treat then kiss you, the sweet taste will linger on your tastebuds for a while after the kiss too so he's happy.

Bachira also likes biting when he kisses you.

Everytime you kiss in a slower way he will nip at your lip.

He also smiles against your lips whenever you two kiss.

He doesn't mean to but he can't help it.

He loves you so much and getting to kiss you is more than he could ever ask so he smiles to show that.

Its not even about getting you to open your mouth in anyway he just likes seeing your lips red, bitten raw and puffy from his kisses makes him have a sense of accomplishment.

He gets so happy when he kisses you and sometimes the kisses last longer than intended but neither of you mind ^^

The sweet taste, the quick and sweet or slow and gentle pace, the smile as his lips move against yours.

Aw yes this is how Bachira Meguru kisses.

Favorite area to kiss

Bachira's favorite area to kiss is your lips.

Its simple.

It's normal.

And it's his favorite.

He just loves cupping your face in his hands as he smothers you in kisses.

You can't get away this way, your stuck with his hands on your face being kissed breathless by how many kisses he's giving you.

By the time he leans back to admire his work, your face is red, your lips puffy and red, your eyes half lidded as you catch your breath having not being able to breathe with how much he was kissing you.

Yep thats the stuff ^^

___________________________________________

Isagi Yoichi 🥇⚽:

The way they kiss

Isagi's kisses actually depend on whats going on and his emotions.

If he's excited or happy his kisses are bold, enough to the point your breathless off the first kiss.

If he's stressed or in a bad mood his kisses are hesitant as if he's kissing a delicate flower.

He kisses you with such passion that you can feel his love seeping into you with each kiss no matter his mood.

Sure his kisses are bold, almost fiery when he's happy but his hesitant kisses are full of vulnerable and raw emotion it can make you smile.

His lips quiver everytime he kisses you as his hands stay gently on your cheeks, hands or waist.

He needs you to ground himself.

He needs to feel you pull away, tug on his shirt, grip his hand.

He needs to stimulation to make himself stop no matter his mood.

He gets so carried away when he kisses you, you carry away all his worrries and doubt. The way his excited and happiness wells inside you makes him forget you have limits. (like being able to breath-)

He gets super embarrassed when you pull back and he realizes what he's done.

Favorite area to kiss

Isagi's favorite place on you to kiss are your hand.

He just loves how quick and simple it is but it also conveys how much he loves you.

Kissing you on your lips makes him get carried away.

Kissing anywhere else makes him embarrassed so kissing your hands is a good alternative.

The feeling of his warms lips placing gentle almost feathery kisses along your hands and knuckles can and will make you shiver.

He loves feeling your hands against his lips.

He loves seeing you rub the areas he kissed and smile when you think he isn't looking.

And sometimes when he's being playful he'll nip at your fingers sometimes licking along the length of your fingers just to see you squirm.

He can't help it your just too cute ^^

___________________________________________

Rin Itoshi 😑⚽:

The way they kiss

Rin's kisses are bold, long and leave you breathless.

Rin isn't the best with words, nor does he like that much physical affection but his kisses show you everything you need to know.

You can tell how much he loves you just by the sheer force behind each kiss.

You can literally fall back on the bed by how hard Rin kisses you.

Everytime you kiss it doesn't matter how long your lips are puffy, red or bruised if not all three.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't mean to hurt you it's just how hard his lips move against yours.

His hand will find it's way to the back of your neck usually resting there as the two of you kiss.

Sometimes if he starts losing himself in the kiss he'll gently tighten his grip on your neck.

It doesn't hurt you or anything.

Nothing to hurt you but it helps him ground himself and gives you the hint to make him calm down.

However this is only at home though.

He will never kiss you in public and if he does it's a really quick peck to the lips, forehead or cheek.

Favorite area to kiss

Rin's favorite area to kiss on you are a mix between your thighs and your neck.

He loves kissing your thighs because its a area that's sacred in his eyes and the fact that you even let him kiss there shows how much you love him.

He especially loves it if your in short or where high knee sock because it leaves your thighs exposed.

Perfect to place gentle, feathery kisses along.

They aren't sexual mind you.

They are usually on the top part of your thighs and they only linger a few seconds.

When Rin gets in a bad mood however its your neck.

It can be anger, jealousy, annoyance or he's just being downright possessive he will kiss your neck.

Usually he does it infront of people he doesn't like to show them your taken.

His lips will push gently against the skin as he makes direct eye contact with the person he's making a point to.

Though he also does it when your in a bad mood.

After all can't get mad at a face you can't see -

[tgrailwar-zero]

Can we remember anything about Tohsaka?

Normally, based on past experiences... it'd be difficult. But having spent some time digging up your memories of GILGAMESH- pulling up details of his Master was easier. It was more like sifting through an old, disorganized library- unlabeled and chaotic, but there was something about the name that stood out.

If the question of 'Master Aptitude' ever came up, the name 'RIN TOHSAKA' would often be spoken of as one of the top contenders. Her ability to summon a 'top Servant' like GILGAMESH was proof enough… but who knew, maybe she could wield the might of great heroes like KING ARTHUR or CU CHULAINN as well.

She was one of the Masters that could be considered a shoe-in for victory, in almost all regards.

Strategic combat sense. Talented hacking ability. Strong magic circuits, despite allegedly coming from a defunct family of Magi. The odds of her winning the war were high- which made her a target for many Masters during the battle royale… which allowed her to swiftly take out any reckless opposition using her Servant. Essentially, she was a 'venus flytrap' of a young woman, bold and unapologetic. Part of that seemed to draw feelings of... irritation within you.

One of the few people who could summon a 'cheat Servant', be massively debuffed, and yet still end up as one of the most feared Masters of the Lunar Holy Grail War. However, the more you thought about her in terms of actual experiences... the blurrier things got.

R.F KUANG Books- my thoughts

I just finished reading all of RF Kuang’s work, a while ago and I have to admit, I have some pretty mixed feelings. On one hand, I totally get why she’s praised: her ambition and the themes she writes about like colonialism, identity, and power, are undeniably important. She doesn’t shy away from addressing these big issues, which is bold ofc. But at the same time, there’s something about her execution that really didn’t land for me. I wanted to connect with her characters and stories more than I actually did.

The Poppy War, for example. Rin’s journey is intense, and the story itself is brutal in a way that forces you to confront the cost of war and trauma. But for me, Rin’s character arc felt more frustrating than complex. I get that she’s supposed to be flawed and deeply affected by everything around her, but her decisions often felt predictable. By the time I got to the later books, especially The Burning God, I found myself less invested in her fate because it all seemed like a downward spiral with no real moments of reflection or growth. Yes, it’s tragic, but without that emotional depth, it became exhausting rather than impactful.

Then there’s Babel. This book had so much potential, especially with the setting in academia which i love, and the themes of colonialism and language. The concept itself is super interesting for me, and Kuang clearly has a lot to say about the exploitation and erasure of cultures. But again, I felt like the characters took a backseat to the message. Especially Robin’s struggle to reconcile his love for academia with the reality of its colonial roots is central, but his character felt flat to me. The dynamics between him and the other students had so much potential for complexity, but they nothing ever developed in a way that felt natural or believable . It was like everything was building up to this explosive conflict, but the tension wasn’t fully earned. Instead, it felt forced.

That said, I do like how Kuang challenges the reader. She’s not afraid to dig into uncomfortable topics, and her books definitely make you think. There’s a lot of depth in how she tackles themes of identity and belonging, especially in Babel, where Robin’s experience of being an outsider in an institution that simultaneously reveres and erases his heritage feels very real. But sometimes the way these themes were presented felt too heavy-handed for me. It was like the messaging overtook the story, and while I appreciate the points she’s making. Whats the point of the story if the message is the story, i want more moments where the characters could just breathe.

I think that’s where my main issue is,

I wanted more from the characters themselves. I know they’re meant to be complex and morally ambiguous, but a lot of the time, they felt more like vehicles for the plot rather than fully realized individuals. Nezha, for example, starts out as this arrogant figure you almost hate, but then we get glimpses of something deeper. Still, it felt like we never really got to explore that complexity in a meaningful way.

Kuang’s work is undeniably ambitious, and I respect her for that but I couldn’t fully connect with her stories in the way I wanted to. The themes and the politics are important, but they ended up overshadowing the characters and the emotional core of the narrative for me. I know she has a big following, but personally, her style and approach just didn’t resonate with me as much as I’d liked.

CANDY HEARTTT‼️‼️ Helloooo if its okay with you, can I request Rin Itoshi x Romantic!Reader with 🧡 Love bug and ❤️ I love you? Preferably lee!reader if thats okay..

Have a great day/night!

Hello anon! :D It's absolutely okay with me! :3 This is so cute! I've gotcha covered! :3

Love Bug: "What's so funny?" + I love you: "What a brave thing to say for someone so ticklish!"

“What?” Rin turned to look at you when you let out a giggle, smiling in your hands. “What? What’s so funny?”

“R-Riihihn! R-Rihihin, please.” You whimpered, fighting through breathly titters as you tried to keep his eyes. “Can yoohohu do sohohomething for meehee?”

“.....You want me to-”

“Please!” You pleaded, barely fighting the giggles as he narrowed his eyes at you. “Please, you look so much like her! I need to hear it!”

“You’re really not gonna let this Mikasa thing go, are you?” He sighed, shaking his head as you gave him puppy eyes. Ever since Chigiri showed you a picture, you were convinced your boyfriend looked like Mikasa Ackerman. That led to a whole rabbit hole of you trying to picture him saying your name in the same infliction she does about Eren. The thought made you ridiculously giggly, but Rin had yet to budge.

“Please? Pretty please? I’ll never ask for anything ever again!” A bold lie and you both knew it. Rin tch’d with some irritation before giving in.

“One time.”

“One time.” You agreed, smiling. You watched your boyfriend as he sat up on his elbow, taking your cheek in hand.

“....(Y/N).”

You squealed, delighted as your cheeks warmed and your heart raced. Rin fell into you with red ears, grumbling in embarrassment as you laughed and kicked, utterly entranced. “Oh my god, that was so GOOD! I knew it! I knew you were like her- you’re so pretty you could pass as her duplicate!”

He mumbled something into your shoulder. You blinked, looking down at him. “Huh?”

“I said-” He sat up, a new look in his eyes. “What a brave thing to say for someone so ticklish!” Seconds later, he was tickling you, making you squeal once more as he found all your sensitive spots. “She’s pretty good at taking out titans, right? I see a pretty sensitive one right here- bet I could take it out with ease!”

“Iihihihi’m nohoohohot a tihihihihitahahahn, yohohoohu jehehheherk!”

“And I’m not Mikasa Ackerman, so that makes us both wrong.” He smirked, satisfied at your squeals of laughter filling the room. “Still, you're cute. I suppose I can let you live.”

“Tahahhahahanks, Hahhahahange!”

“...Nevermind. I’m Levi now. Prepare to die.”

Send me a candy heart and I'll write a dabble for it!

Chapter 1: The Miku from Between SEKAI wishes the player a happy New Years. She thanks you for watching over everyone and asks you to keep watching over them.

Chapter 2: Nightcord at 25:00 finishes up a call. Before they leave, Amia tries asking them to hang out, but everyone is either too cold or busy. They're sad, since they couldn't get tickets to their concert event and their parents are visiting their sister overseas. The next day they overhear some friends talking about having a New Years Eve party. Mizuki decides to try and have one with their circle.

Chapter 3: Amia manages to convince everyone by having it in SEKAI. Their arrival also cheers up Miku, who was beginning to feel lonely. Mizuki, Ena, and Kanade all brought snacks while Mafuyu brought plates. Neither Kanade or Miku have ever done something like this, so they're excited. Mizuki leads the group for the New Year countdown. Miku hopes everyone has a wonderful year.

Chapter 4: Miku and Rin finish their New Years show the moment the clock hits zero. MORE MORE JUMP! thanks the two for everything they've done so far, and asks for their continued support. Minori asks if the two would be willing to help them practice making a New Years video of them playing card games. Miku and Minori play Karuta (a traditional card game based on poetry and quick reflexes) against Airi and Rin. Haruka acts as the reader.

Chapter 5: Airi is very skilled at the game and wins easily. Next, Shizuku plays Fukuwari (a game like Pin the Donkey, where a blindfolded person pins together the features on a face). The final result was described as "abstract" and "bold". Even though the filming didn't go quite as planned, it was still a great video in the end. They're excited to film the real thing later. Since everyone was having so much fun, the group decided to keep playing games.

Chapter 6: MEIKO has the other Virtual Singers try out her special New Years menu. Rin and Len want to try everything. Vivid BAD SQUAD arrives soon after. An suggests playing a game of Hanetsuki (like badminton without a net) to work off the calories from MEIKO's food. Rin and Len face off against An and Kohane, with the winners getting to doodle on the loser's faces in place of the traditional ink-to-the-face punishment. Akito and Toya decide to watch. An wins the first round, so she gets to doodle on Rin and Len. Rin and Len score the next one.

Chapter 7: Rin and Len eventually won the match. Miku manages to convince Akito and Toya to play the next round. Rin and Len managed to win by a single point. After MEIKO finished bringing out drinks, Miku managed to convince her to be her doubles partner for the next game. They crushed Rin and Len. They decide to end the day by singing together.

Chapter 8: A rouge Lion Dance Robot chases Tsukasa around the SEKAI. Everyone has to work together to save him. Earlier, Emu and Miku had been making mochi while Tsukasa, KAITO, and Rui discussed the latter's latest AI creation, which had taken a liking to Tsukasa. However, Emu's grip on the mallet slipped and hit Lion Dance Robot.

Chapter 9: Rui theorizes the mallet triggered the self-defense mode and has determined Tsukasa to be a threat. Miku pulls out the giant net from the previous day's show in order to try capturing the robot. Emu managed to lure the robot away from Tsukasa and towards herself. Nene used Rui's drones to drop the net on it, while the Virtual Singers held it down for Rui to deactivate. Everyone moves on immediately after to go make more mochi (except Tsukasa, who did not have fun with that adventure).

Chapter 10: Leo/need finish their last rehearsal of the year. Ichika asks if everyone would want to come to a sleepover at her house so they can all hang out for the New Year. Saki wants to go visit a shrine together, too. Luka says she and Miku will join too, as a surprise.

On the day of the sleepover, Ichika and Honami prepare food while Saki and Shiho play cards. Right before midnight, Luka and Miku come check in through the girl's phones. They all leave for the shrine together.

Chapter 11: While waiting in line, they all decide what to wish for. After they throw in their coins, they explore the stalls set up nearby. Shiho offers to take food back to the Virtual Singers if they'd like. Honami and Shiho offer to pull fortunes for the two as well. Honami pulls for Luka, but ends up drawing a curse. She decides to take it as her own and pulls again, but gets another curse. Saki and Ichika return with amakaze, only to find Honami in despair over the bad luck. On the way home, Saki asks what they all wished for. They all ended up wishing for some variation of having a fun year together.
