wow ok read the recent request and I gotta say that was pretty heavy. Can we have a similar request but with a light angst with the remaining characters ??? I like the previous request
Hi, of course! :)) I've had really little time lately but I hope you like it anyway. I would say that all three contain rather mild angst compared to the previous ones. So I hope you enjoy it more. 💚

Pairing: Kuroo x, Ushijima x, Sakusa x reader
Warning: angst to fluff
Part 1 | Part 2 (End)
Tumblr media
Kuroo finally made it. He has a job he enjoys. A job that also pays well financially and provides stability.
However, this job also involves some overtime and company trips.
In the beginning, he tried to keep to the working hours as much as possible. After all, he didn’t want to neglect you. However, the overtime increased year by year.
You often tried to gently point out to him that he shouldn’t overwork himself, but most of the time, your remarks were met with anger and ended in an argument.
At some point, you stopped and tried to suppress his increasingly frequent absences. Even if it hurt you.
Sometimes you lie in bed, looking at the empty space next to you, before the screen of your phone lights up and the usual message from Kuroo appears. “Sorry, kitten, but I can’t make it home today. But I’ll be there tomorrow at the end of the day.”
A message that raises so many doubts in you. What if he’s not at work at all and is seeing another woman? You’ve hardly had any time together in the last few months. Just a good morning kiss before work... that was all.
Does he no longer loves you? Does he possibly have a girlfriend and is leading a double life? No, Kuroo wouldn’t do that.
You’ve already reminded Kuroo three times this week that it’s your niece’s birthday today and that she’s looking forward to finally seeing him again. Because your niece loves Kuroo. Your boyfriend kept telling you before work that he had the date in his calendar and that he would definitely be home in time for the two of you to go to your niece’s together. You believed him. After all, the date was important to you. But you soon realize that this was just another lie. An empty promise.
Because when you look at your watch, it’s ten minutes before departure... and Kuroo still hasn’t arrived. He didn’t even reply to your “I’m looking forward to this afternoon.” You wait another four minutes, but nothing happens. In the end, you take the train to your niece’s house. Alone, without Kuroo. Because he doesn’t answer your messages or your calls.
Your little niece is so sad when she opens the door and looks up at you, realizing that you have come alone. It’s not that she doesn’t like you, but her dear uncle Kuroo always does so much nonsense with her. What did she once said? The aunts and grannies are there to go shopping and with the uncles and grandpas you have fun. Not exactly nice, but whatever. 
She looks at you with sad eyes. “Isn’t uncle Kuroo coming? Doesn’t uncle Kuroo like me anymore?” she asks tearfully as you try to calm her down somehow. It takes a long time for her to stop crying, and that on her birthday. And as if that wasn’t enough, you also get asked by your brother and your parents if everything is all right with you and your boyfriend. Whether you are still together at all. Because even at the last events, you were always there alone. When they passed by your home, only you were ever present. 
“No, no, everything’s fine. Tetsu’s just really busy today,” you reply with a forced smile, even though you don’t know where you stand as a couple right now. Can you even call what the two of you have a relationship?
As you head home in the evening, the apartment is still empty, just as expected. You sigh as you put your bag down and go into the bathroom to get ready for bed. The apartment seems so bitter as you lie down under the cold sheets, but you don’t care. You don’t even look at your phone anymore, because you know that Kuroo hasn’t texted you anyway. Nor do you mind that the bed is empty. Because that has also become a habit by now. Just then, you realize that tears are suddenly running down your cheeks. Yet you don’t even bother to wipe them away because no one will see them anyway.
Kuroo curses as he looks at his watch. His day had been stressful. So stressful that he didn’t even have time to look at his phone or check the time. Only when it got darker outside did he realize that he had once again worked too long. 
“Shit,” he curses again as he stands in front of the entrance door. Should he go back to get flowers for you? After all, he promised you he wouldn’t work so late. No, never mind. Staying away any longer will only upset you more.
“Hey kitten, I’m sorry I was gone so long again. I know I said that-” but when Kuroo enters the living room, the light is off. You’re not in the kitchen either. Have you gone to bed already? He walks quietly towards the bedroom, but his hand stops on the door handle when he hears you sniffle.
“Hey, baby, what’s wrong?” he asks, immediately moving past the bed to your side to kneel in front of it. Only now do you realize that Kuroo has returned home. You look at him almost empty-eyed. “Nothing...” you reply and want to turn away from him, but his hand holds onto your shoulder.
“Don’t say nothing when you’re obviously crying. Is it because I’m here so late again? I’m really sorry... I’ve completely lost track of time. I’m trying-”
“I suppose you’ve forgotten my niece’s birthday? She cried bitterly today... and not only that. I was asked today if we’re still together because you’ve never been to celebrations lately. And honestly? I don’t even know myself...” You say in frustration and watch Kuroo’s eyes suddenly widen.
Today was your niece’s birthday... You had told him several times during the week and yet he had forgotten. Kuroo doesn’t even know how to answer you. There is no answer that can please you. Because Kuroo has completely fucked up. He opens his mouth to say something, then closes it again. 
“Maybe we should really break-”
“No, no don’t say that. I know I fucked up. I know I promised you I’d work less overtime and be there for you more often. I know I didn’t stick to any of that. But please. I can change.” His answer interrupts yours, his voice soft and yet so panicked as he looks at you pleadingly. But you can’t help but laugh in frustration. “I’ve already asked my brother... I can stay with him for a while.”
You see the fear in his face as he tries to struggle for words. His shoulders begin to shake before he opens his mouth. Kuroo has no arguments to defend himself. In the end, he just failed. Made you sad. Neglected you. It had to get that far before he finally understood that. But when he looks at your sad face, he knows that he has no right to stop you.
“Yeah... if that’s what you want... I don’t want to stop you... make you any more miserable.” He replies dejectedly before squeezing your shoulder a little tighter to stand up to leave you alone in the bedroom. To give you the tranquility that you would prefer over his presence. But his legs won’t let him go any further as he stops in front of the door, just a step away from the hallway. 
Instead of leaving the room, he turns in your direction, switches on the big light and goes back to your bedside. “No, I can’t do that. I know I don’t have the right, but I just can’t let you go. I have neglected you. I have neglected us. And although you reminded me several times, I forgot your niece’s birthday. I don’t even want to imagine how sad she was that I wasn’t there, or how sad you must have been that I couldn’t keep my promise again. I am sorry that I have once again failed as a boyfriend. I know I probably look like the biggest asshole and my words sound like lies to you. But please... I love you and I mean it when I say I’m sorry. I enjoy my job, even if it is stressful. But I’ve probably lost sight of the most important thing, and that’s you. Please... please, if there’s still a little bit of hope, tell me how to make it right.” Kuroo says, looking you in the eye with determination, even though he is struggling to keep his composure.
You sit up in bed and look down at him, still kneeling in front of you. You love him, but what’s the point if he can’t keep his promises anyway? Still, when he looks at you like that… with these sad eyes… as if he’s about to break apart… “I’m staying with my brother for a week from tomorrow... I need a clear head. So use this week to think about how you can set things right. And maybe... maybe there will still be a future for us.” You answer him more coldly than you actually wanted to and look over at the empty side of the bed. “And now go to bed... there’s no point sleeping on the sofa in the living room. It’ll only make your back ache.” you add, before crawling back under the covers and closing your eyes. Not waiting to see if Kuroo actually lies down next to you or not.
The week you spend with your brother is like a wake-up call for Kuroo. A reminder that he needs to change something.
He writes to you every day before he leaves for work. A simple “Good morning, I hope you have a good start to the day” and in the evening he always writes to you when he’s on his way home.
Nevertheless, overall he leaves you in peace. Just like you wanted.
After the week you spent with your brother, you now stand in front of the entrance to your own home and take a deep breath. Wondering if Kuroo is home yet.
He should actually be at home. After all, his working hours are over. Did he keep his promise? You open the door and step inside. The apartment looks exactly the same as it did when you left it a week ago. Tidy, clean. Almost as if no one lived here. And as you might expect, Kuroo’s shoes are also missing. So nothing has changed after all. Standing in the hallway, you laugh in frustration and shake your head as you suddenly hear a key in the door lock and Kuroo enters.
A little surprised to see you, his eyes widen. “H-Hey...” he says almost shyly as he stands in front of you. Kuroo has a bouquet of flowers in his hand and a bag of groceries in the other. “I thought... maybe we could cook together and then... talk afterwards. That’s why I went grocery shopping after work, but I guess most people do it after work. It was really crowded...” he clicks his tongue and tilts his head to the side with a somewhat strained smile.
So he did finish work on time? “And the flowers? Are they there for cooking too?” you ask, unconsciously breaking the tense atmosphere between you. Kuroo just rolls his eyes and you see the tips of his ears turn red as he hands you the bouquet. “Of course not. They’re for you... for the best woman in the world.” His last words are quiet, but you hear them well.
Kuroo and you cook together, even if it’s a bit strange at first.
You both don’t quite know what to say or how to behave.
But while you wait for your food to be ready, Kuroo speaks up, pushes a chair back and asks you to take a seat at the dining table before sitting opposite you and taking your hands in his.
He tells you that he has only worked one hour of overtime this week. That he has applied for an assistant so that he can hand over some of his work and therefore work less overtime.
He tells you about all this in such an excited tone, as if you’ve just had your first date and he’s asking you out. Kuroo seems to be making a real effort...
“You know, there are even therapists who deal with people who work too much and-” says Kuroo, but you interrupt him directly. “Tetsurou... I’m not asking you to go to a therapist. If what you’ve said is true, then... that’s a good start.” His posture relaxes abruptly at your statement before he grips your hands tighter again and rests his head on them, sighing with relief. He had fully expected you to draw a line today after all the lonely nights he had given you. After all the empty promises. And here you both are, sitting together, and he can’t believe how good-natured you are. “That means... you’ll give me another chance?” he asks, but doesn’t lift his head from your hands.
“One last one... so don’t mess it up Tetsurou.” you reply much more gently this time.
Tumblr media
You’ve been together with Ushijima for a long time. You know his personality, that he tends to be quiet, sometimes blunt, and doesn’t talk much. Nevertheless, his lack of words sometimes makes you uneasy. 
Something that Ushijima often can’t understand, because after all, that’s how you met. It usually ends with you just nodding off at some point and saying that you must have been imagining things and you just pretend that nothing happened.
But lately he’s been so quiet again. Even more distant than before.
Whenever he comes home from training, he goes straight to the kitchen to make himself a protein shake. Then straight to the bathroom to put his sports clothes in the washing machine and then gets ready for bed. Somewhere in between, he greets you with an almost indifferent “hello”.
You know that Ushijima is a little different, that his communication sometimes falls short. But his current behavior is unsettling even for you.
Has he perhaps met someone new? Does he no longer love you?
No... you don’t want to have thoughts like that. And yet you have them, and yet they don’t stop you from asking Ushijima this one question when he’s about to go to bed. 
“Be honest Toshi... do you have another person you see next to me? Well... I don’t mean friends, but... a potential love interest?” The question slips out a little more reproachfully than you would have liked.
Ushijima looks at you with wide eyes as he puts on a T-shirt to go to bed. He can’t believe you actually asked him that. He has enough stress at the moment with the upcoming championship games. Now you’re just throwing in your insecurity. He doesn’t need that right now. “Do you really think I have the time or energy to deal with another relationship? This one is stressful enough at times,” he says almost coldly. 
Wow... you think. It feels like he’s hitting a volleyball right against your chest. It hurts. “So you see me as a burden?” you try to say in a calm voice, but it’s already shaking. Ushijima just shakes his head in annoyance before climbing into bed next to you. 
“When you ask questions like that, yes. Where do you come up with such nonsense? Do you have so little self-esteem?” says Ushijima before switching off the light on the bedside cabinet and turning towards you. “Let’s go to sleep now. I have to get up in the morning. And stop thinking such nonsense.” He says, as if he hadn’t hurt your feelings with his words earlier, before leaning in to kiss you goodnight, but you just turn around and avoid him. “Good night...” you mumble coolly, but Ushijima doesn’t think much of it.
Only after several days does he realize that something is different. You hardly talk to him, not at all, in fact. You no longer cook for him either. Maybe not in general? You’re often out until late in the evening and only come to bed when Ushijima is already asleep. But when he asks you what’s wrong, you just answer with a strange smile and say “nothing”. Ushijima doesn’t understand a thing.
It’s only when he’s on the phone with Tendou and the two of them are talking about all sorts of things, about how Ushijima is very stressed right now from training and the upcoming championships, that he mentions in passing that you’re behaving strangely. Tendou has known Ushijima for a long time. So he can guess that Ushijima has once again misunderstood something or said things that came across wrongly. When Ushijima tells him about the conversation with you a few days ago, Tendou sighs loudly into the phone. “Wakatoshi, that’s the stupidest thing you could have said to her. Does your better half know that you’re under a lot of stress at the moment?”
“Of course not. After all, it’s not something she can change. So she doesn’t have to worry about it.” As soon as Ushijima has spoken his sentence, he hears the sigh on the other side of the line again. “Wakatoshi, that’s not how a relationship works. How long have you been together now? Almost six years... She’s just worried about you. And if she then asks you whether there might be another woman in your life, ‘Don’t ask such stupid questions, why do you have so little self-esteem’ is not exactly the best answer.” Tendou imitates Ushijima.
He is surprised that he still has a girlfriend at all with this manner. Maybe he needs to fly to Japan more often after all… To give Ushijima a good slap on the back of the blunt man’s head.
“I just wanted to tell her that she’s a great woman and I can’t understand how she can have such thoughts when she’s perfect,” Ushijima replies as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Yet Tendou has to spend half an hour talking to Ushijima about how wrong his behavior was before he finally realizes it himself. So he decides to go home after training and wait for you, no matter how long it takes. 
Sighing, you stand in front of the front door. On the one hand, you hope that Ushijima is already asleep, but on the other, you don’t want to continue with the silent treatment. You shake your head and open the door, only to see Ushijima sitting in the living room, his hands clasped together as he rests his arms on his thighs.
“Wakatoshi?” You ask, a little irritated, as you notice him staring into space. You can’t interpret his gaze. “Can you please sit down? We need to talk.” He says in a firm voice that makes your heart beat uncomfortably faster. You know you haven’t done anything wrong, and yet it feels like you have. Nevertheless, you nod, sit down next to him and look in his direction. He mirrors your movement. Only he doesn’t look at you with concern, but neutrally as always.
“I...” he begins, but then his voice drops. He doesn’t quite know how to start. After all, that’s never been his strength. “What is it, Wakatoshi?” you ask almost impatiently. After all, if he wants to end the relationship, he should keep it short. That will hurt, but maybe it’s better that way.
“I have hurt you. Seemingly very deeply. I’m sorry about that. It’s not that I don’t love you. I do and I thought you knew that too. Maybe I didn’t express myself properly, no actually, I didn’t express myself properly. But I can’t understand why you think that I might have another woman for whom I have feelings. You are a wonderful woman. Strong, independent, intelligent and attractive. For me, you are just right the way you are. I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. I thought you would see yourself the way I see you.” Ushijima looks deep into your eyes with every word, his complete focus on you, before glancing briefly to the side. As if he’s thinking about what else he wants to say. Then he turns back to you and puts his hand on your thigh.
“We’re really under a lot of stress at the moment with our training. But that’s not something I want to burden you with in any way. After all, there’s nothing you can do to change the situation. And you shouldn’t have to worry about your husband. So… If I hurt you with my words, I’m sorry.” His words are sincere and the uneasy feeling you felt in your chest is suddenly gone. You should have known that Ushijima doesn’t love another woman. After all, it’s Ushijima. 
“Let’s go out for dinner together at the weekend. Just the two of us. Let’s talk, spend time together. There hasn’t been enough of that lately.” Ushijima says, turning you more towards him by your thigh before wrapping his hands around your waist and placing you on his lap with ease.
“Wakatoshi!” you shriek briefly. His head is on your shoulder, his breath warm on your skin. “I’m really sorry that my words hurt you,” he whispers softly, starting to rub your back with his thumb as he holds you close to his chest. You are no longer angry with him. Has been no longer. Actually, you are glad that he told you how he felt.
“Going out for dinner sounds good,” you say softly and put your arms around him. As you answer, you feel him squeeze you a little tighter. As if he wants to tell you how grateful he is that you show understanding for him.
Tumblr media
Actually, everything is going well between you and Sakusa. You both harmonize well, have similar interests and friends. The only thing that is a little difficult is the fact that you have to keep your relationship a secret.
At least Sakusa wants to keep the relationship private because he doesn’t want paparazzi following you around or some crazy fans sending you threatening letters or maybe even hurting you.
Sakusa is very cautious when it comes to you.
So apart from your closest friends, your family and his agency, nobody knows about your relationship.
However, it is becoming more difficult from year to year. Because there are already pictures that have been made public. Pictures in which you are seen with Sakusa. Sitting together in a coffee shop or going for a walk in the park. You’ve even been photographed while buying groceries.
There are also more and more rumors about you. “Who is the unknown woman who is always in the front row at every game?”, ”Is this young lady the girlfriend of athlete Kiyoomi Sakusa?”
Today Sakusa forgot his sports shoes. Since you work in the same building as the agency that has him under contract, you decide to simply take the shoes with you. After all, Sakusa told you today that he has an appointment at his agency before he goes to training.
With a slight nod, you greet the security people at the entrance to the third floor where the agency for athletes is located. You’ve already been here a few times, so it’s easy for you to find the right way. You stop in front of Sakusa’s manager’s office. In front of the office, you see that the door is slightly open and that people are talking. Sakusa was one of them. You briefly consider knocking and going in, but when you hear the next words, you stand still, petrified.
“Sakusa-san, are you sure you want to bring your relationship with Ms. Abe into the public eye? Ms. Abe is a popular tennis player. It would draw a lot of attention to both of you,” says Sakusa’s manager. Soon after, the sound of a woman giggling rings out, followed immediately by Sakusa’s voice.
“That’s fine... I think it’s for the best. But before we go through with this -” you don’t hear the last words, because you’ve already set the bag with the shoes down outside the office and rushed back to your own workplace. 
You can’t concentrate all day long. You keep thinking about that conversation you had heard earlier. About Sakusa... wanting to make a relationship public? Only now do you realize what that actually means. Does this mean that Sakusa has been cheating on you the whole time and you were nothing but a pleasant distraction for him?
Frustrated, you stomp home after work, thinking about all the things you want to say. Everything you want to throw at Sakusa. When you arrive home, the apartment is still empty. Nothing unusual, because Sakusa wanted to go to his training after the meeting. So he’ll probably be gone for several more hours. Or did he just use that as an excuse to meet up with his new girlfriend?
You laugh bitterly, rolling your eyes at the thought of Sakusa’s name appearing in the magazines next to the name of that tennis player .... “Ridiculous...” you snort, and walk into the living room, where, ironically, the picture of Sakusa and you immediately comes into view. A photo of the two of you on vacation. You were in Norway. A country where Sakusa isn’t really well known. That’s why you could enjoy your vacation without paparazzi. In the photo you are in a small restaurant, outside on the terrace, both smiling intimately into the camera. Was it all just an act?
Furious, you grab the photo and throw it on the floor. The glass breaks and all the shards lie on the ground. “Damn...” you curse, annoyed at yourself for your outburst as you kneel down to pick up the pieces. But a familiar voice makes you flinch. 
“My love, is everything all right?” you hear Sakusa, who must have come home a few seconds ago, dropping his bag in the hallway and looking in your direction with wide eyes. He left training on time today because he thought it was strange that his sports bag was in front of his manager’s door, but you weren’t there.
But now the time has come. The pain in your chest suddenly gets impossible to bear, your mouth quivers and your eyes are all warm as big tears run down your cheeks. A sight that really knocks Sakusa off his feet. Immediately he rushes in your direction, kneels down next to you and takes your hands in his to see if you have cut yourself. But your body seems to be unharmed.
“W-what’s wrong?” he asks again, concerned, before you pull your hands out of his grip and stare at him angrily. “When... when were you going to tell me you had another girl? And what are you doing here anyway? Shouldn’t you be at training or with your new lover?” you say angrily, but don’t raise your voice.
Sakusa tries to follow your words, even if he can’t understand them at first. But then he realizes… The bag in the hallway, your tears... you must have heard part of the conversation he had this afternoon. But you probably haven’t heard everything. The man with the raven-black curls closes his eyes before taking a deep breath and looking at you again, trying to reach for your hands.
“You’ve completely misunderstood something-” he is about to start, but you interrupt him directly. “Don’t say ‘it’s not what it looks like’. You can spare that phrase, Kiyoomi!” you say a little louder now, but Sakusa doesn’t back down and continues to try to talk to you calmly.
“Please Y/n... I want you to listen to me for a minute... just a minute... After that you can still be mad at me. Is that possible?” Sakusa grabs your hands this time, pulls you up with him and leads you to the sofa. “Sit down, please.” You’re actually reluctant, but you’ve been together for so long now... you can give him that one minute, can’t you? You grudgingly sit down, but don’t look at him.
“Lately, paparazzi are getting bolder and bolder... even the other day there were some in the supermarket who wanted to take pictures of us... I’m just worried that your face will eventually be in all the newspapers and platforms and you’ll no longer be able to live your life carefree, but will always have these people at your back, following you,” says Sakusa somewhat awkwardly. Almost as if he himself is unsure whether what he wants to tell you is plausible for you. But before he can continue, you interrupt him directly and give him an angry look.
“Oh, and that’s why you thought you’d find a new girlfriend who’s already a celebrity and just date her? Then you can go out without hiding? Is that it?” you’re struggling to keep your voice under control. Sakusa’s eyes widen and he shrinks back for a moment, his hands almost in a protective position in front of his chest as he shakes his head.
“Wait, no, it’s not like that. I don’t have another relationship. Well, okay wait. I thought it might be good if I publicly revealed a fake relationship with another celebrity. Of course, it’s not real and we’re not really a couple. But I thought it would take the pressure off you and you could-”
You can’t believe what Sakusa is saying right now. Is he really serious? If it’s true, why is he talking to his manager first and not to you? Doesn’t he care about your feelings? “Do you actually... don’t think at all? How do you think I would feel when I read the messages and your name is everywhere with the name of your fake girlfriend? Have you ever thought about the fact that this is extremely hurtful to me? I would rather be seen in public with you than see you with someone else ‘for my supposed freedom and privacy’. How would you feel if I introduced another man to the whole world as my boyfriend just to ‘protect’ you?” The words you say so loudly hit Sakusa, and he gets quiet. He doesn’t even know what to say anymore. Your question slaps him hard. How would he feel… The thought of seeing you with another man makes him angry, sad... and somehow helpless?
“I...” Sakusa begins, but immediately doesn’t know how to continue. “I’m sorry, that was probably stupid of me.” He then says, tilting his head downwards. Sighing, you stand up and shake your head once more before walking past Sakusa. 
“You know, you never asked me, but I wouldn’t mind if people knew my face. It’s more important to me to do things with you without having to hide. You’re always the one who overdramatizes and worries unnecessarily... Whatever… I’m going to bed now. Good night.” You no longer wait for his answer. Instead, you go straight to the bathroom and get ready for bed.
Sakusa remains seated in the living room. He knows exactly that it wouldn’t be right to talk to you now, that you want to be left alone. Especially since he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to tell you. He just knows that his action was really stupid.
Sakusa hadn’t signed a contract with the tennis player and the two agencies yet, because he wanted to talk to you about it first, but at the moment his own idea to protect your privacy disgusts him. He really should have talked to you first about how you feel, whether you want to be in the public eye, instead of drawing any conclusions. Sakusa sighs, leans back against the sofa and closes her eyes. “Idiot...” he whispers quietly.
Two days pass and you are still disappointed by Sakusa’s behavior. Even though he probably only meant well. You haven’t really spoken much either. Just the usual “Good morning, have a nice day at work...”, “How was your day?” and all that sort of things.
Still at work, you just can’t concentrate and start massaging your temples when suddenly one of your colleagues shrieks and starts giggling. “Hey, isn’t that Sakusa Kiyoomi? What’s he doing here? His agency is upstairs, isn’t it?” she asks one of her colleagues, who quickly reaches for her make-up mirror and fixes her hair. 
Now you too turn your head forward and see Sakusa walking in your direction with a bunch of white lilies. Everyone looks after him, puzzled, and you also stare at him with irritation as he stops in front of you. “Uhm... I wanted to bring these over to you because I have to go upstairs to talk to my manager about a photo shoot.”
The whispering of your colleagues gets louder and louder and you still look a little confused, but you take the bouquet and stand up. “Kiyoomi, what is this about?” you whisper to him, not quite knowing how to react. Sakusa grazes your arm, wanders up to your cheek and looks deep into your eyes. “You were right. I should never have had this stupid idea. I should have asked you. And even if I’m worried about you, I only want to see you by my side in any pictures on the internet. After all, you are the woman I love. I’m really sorry. Will you... accept my clumsy apology?” Sakusa gazes at you with such a puppy-dog look that you can’t help but put the bouquet on your table and jump into his arms.
Of course, Sakusa did not sign the contract with the tennis player.
At his next match, you’re in the front row as usual, and when Sakusa scores the final point to victory and his team cheers along with him, he immediately runs to you, pulling you over the barrier to hold you in his arms before setting you down and cupping your cheeks with his hands. Just a few seconds later, you feel his lips on yours, cameras pointing at you and taking photos. But you couldn’t care less. “You know, I’ve wanted to do this so many times before,” he says calmly, leaning his forehead against your own.
Although everyone knows your face now, Sakusa is always reserved in interviews when it comes to private questions.
He will not answer questions about you if they become too personal.
In the beginning, the paparazzi and reporters were really a nuisance, but everything calmed down over time and the two of you can go out and enjoy dates together without being followed, just like back then, before his career.

Silanche kid-Alaric Vanrouge
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I liked both vers so take em. RSA pride and Diasomnia pride
“I was hoping to attend NRC like my sister but…maybe I fit in better here.”
Voice claim: TBA
Character info
  Alaric is a quiet and sometimes timid young man. He prefers his own company unless he’s around people he likes. Sometimes others will find him curled up somewhere taking short naps in between longer classes. Sometimes the third year students will poke fun at him because they know his sister went to NRC but he always brushes them off, until they find a snapping plant in their dorm rooms a few hours later. Despite that though he’s a straight A student, he’s quiet but he’s learned a lot from growing up in Briar Valley and around the royal family. He actually talks a lot to his roommate, especially about books they’ve read or are reading. 
  His household is quite large since it’s him, his older sister, his parents, grandpa, and great grandmother all living together. Not including the animals. But, he wouldn’t have it any other way. His mom told him about when it was just her and her grandma living together with their old dog and he’s always thought about how lonely they both must have been. At home in Briar Valley he’ll be all over town, from helping at his mama’s bakery, to his granny’s flower shop, to hanging out at the castle when Silver is on duty. 
Fun facts: Aroace icon. Certified mama’s boy. He doesn’t want to become a knight but he would be around his sister when she was training so he learned some things that way. Blanche and Granny Primrose made sure to teach him all about plants and botany, y’know, just in case. When he visits home, him and Fleur have a tradition of going on a trail ride past a waterfall that they’ve dubbed the “Fire Fall” because at sunrise the water appears golden-orange, then they’ll race back home and the winner chooses their next activity.

Character dynamics
Fleur: Thick as thieves, they’re inseparable when either of them comes home. Even as kids he would always follow her around. If he’s busy with something then she’ll be the one to find him and hang out until he’s finished. 
Jane: Opposites into best friends. He doesn’t encourage her late night visits but he always hints that it’s okay. 
Luna Howl: If he has bite marks they’re from her. Somehow she always drags him into her and Jane’s shenanigans, yet he never complains. 
Joey Howl: Big bro. But seriously they’re close as well, he helped push him into confessing to Fleur. 
Mika Bucchi: Roommateee. They spent the first week at RSA in complete silence, until Alaric saw him reading one of his favorite books and got so excited he asked about his thoughts on it. Ever since then they’ve talked to each other a lot more. He still forgets to warm him when Jane visits. 
HOWL SIBS BELONG TO @blood-red-bumblebee AND MIKA BELONGS TO @twtysevapr

TwstxStardew Valley au!
Tumblr media
Yuu inherited the Ramshackle farm from their grandfather. It's located in the little town of Night Raven in the Valley of Sages. Shortly after moving in, they find a cat called Grim. Now it's up to Yuu to restore the farm and town to it's former glory. All the characters are the townsfolk, all the staff are the ones that run the local businesses, and Crowley is the mayor. And all the students are the marriage candidates.
Sam runs the general store, but unlike Pierre he's pretty cool. Vargas is the blacksmith. Trien is the librarian, and his cat hangs out amongst the shelves. Crewel I was thinking we have a new business that is the local clothing store where you can buy the bag upgrade from him and instead of the sewing machine being in Emily's house, it's in the shop. So all that stuff would be in one place.
Kalim as the resident animal lover I can see being the one that sells you your farm animals. Maybe his business is a branch of his parents much larger business that he runs and Jamil is his employee.
I feel like it goes without saying that Idia is the Sebastian here. He's the freelance programmer living in his parents basement, and Ortho Is his kid brother you see running around town that always tells Yuu about how cool his brother actually is.
Silver lives with his veteran dad in their little cottage in the woods outside your farm, they like living off the land out there. I can also see Lilia and Baul as the ones that run the adventurers guild. Maybe the Zigvolt family dental clinic is also in town and Sebek works there. And in that same vein, maybe Mrs. Rosehearts is the town doctor and her son, Riddle, is her assistant. She's planned everything out that Riddle will become a doctor like her and take over the clinic one day.
Epel is still a farm boy here, it feels right, he's in his element in this au. The Felmiers run an orchard on the opposite side of town. His granny used to know your grandpa, and maybe Farmer Yuu can buy fruit tree saplings from them.And of course get a good price on the apple ones.
Deuce is the former town delinquent that lives with his single mom. He's doing his best to turn their life around, he grew out of his old ways and wants to do better. I can see his heart events being about people assuming he's going to cause trouble because of his old habits and Deuce having to prove he's not that little teenage punk anymore. And instead of Idia/Sebastian, Deuce is the one that takes you on the motorcycle date if you romance him.
Mostro Lounge is the equivalent of the Stardrop Saloon, and Azul is th owner with the tweels working for him.
Malleus I can see being the one that lives in the wizard tower in the woods outside your farm. He's studied magic all his life because it's all he's ever known. But he wants very badly to interact with the town and the villagers, but everyone tends to stay away. The only exceptions being Lilia, Silver, and Sebek. That is until Yuu moves in and discovers his tower, and once Malleus helps them understand the Juiminos in the community center, they become better friends.

What would the Marauders era characters do for living in a non magic au: Remus & Peter
Remus Lupin
I love the idea of Remus having some kind of disability connected with legs/moving, so we gonna stick with that. His job would involve books. No questions. He would work in a book shop and would volunteer in a library in his free time. The grannies/grandpas would ADORE him. He could also organise reading groups for children and would bring Sirius along to do silly voices and act out scenes.
Peter Pettigrew
He would own a bakery. Provide all other marauders with delicious yet nutritious pastries and ask Euphemia Potter and Hope Lupin for some recipes. He would have flour on his clothes 24/7 even on days when he wouldn’t work. Sweets on parties? Peter made them. Need food for an event? Call Peter. No one would be able to resist his baking.

32 - The Life We Could Have
Tumblr media
Part 33
The Siphoning Princess
Tag list [ @mystrey101 @melvia-ito @kmc1989 @tallrock35 @onentaien-kwara @child-of-of-the-sunshine
Cecile’s pov
“But can’t we hear more, grandpa. Pretty please.” I begged him as he walked me and Henry out of his shop. Henry was carrying his book in his hands but grandpa had kept the secret pages of him and my grandma.
“Grandpa has a date with someone very special planned right now. I will tell you more of the story later, don’t you worry.” Grandpa walked towards Granny’s with his cane while Henry ahd I found Emma’s bug parked across the street meaning that my father was somewhere around here.
Henry found that the car was unlocked so we climbed inside and waited for my father to drive us home. Henry flipped through some pages of his book glancing at the missing pages spot at the end. “I thought I knew all the stories in this book. But now - now we know why your mom was always considered a princess back in the enchanted forest.”
“I want my mama and sissy’s back.” I whispered to him with a sad look on my face and he missed them too.
Someone knocked on the window with a bag in hand where I recognized my daddy. “I’ve been thinking… If you’re going to start helping me, we’ve got to make sure we do this right. So, I picked these up on my way home.” He reveals two toy swords from inside the bag.
Henry grinned like it was Christmas morning. “Seriously?”
“Yeah, you’re the grandson of a prince. I think it’s about time you learned how to use a sword.” He smiled getting serious for a minute, bringing up my mother and my sissy. “Henry, I can’t get ‘em back without you. So, what do you say? You with me?”
Henry teased my father, still grinning brightly. “Can you teach me how to fight a dragon?”
“We’ll work our way up to it.”
We get out of the car and prepare to duel. Standing by Henry I watched my father present him with a toy sword. “My liege.” Henry grinned looking over at me while I sadly looked at my boots.
“What’s wrong, Cecile?”
Rubbing my hands down my arms I mumbled in a sad tone. “I guess I don’t get to learn how to use a sword cause I’m a princess.”
“Typically princesses in my experience don’t.” My father trailed off seeing a pout forming on my face till he reached inside the bag and revealed a third toy sword outward to me. “On the other hand your mother has her magic as her defense. So I don’t see why you don't have your own skills. Just promise me you’ll be careful.”
Slowly taking the sword from his hand I jumped up and down with excitement squealing. “Thank you, thank you, daddy!”
“En garde!” My father grinned, shifting his between me and his grandson. “Ready, little princess?”
Raising my sword I swung at him but he gently pushed my sword away with his own. Henry went next and they went back and forth before my father didn't let him win the last round. We went back and forth for a few hours until we were all hungry and decided to go to Granny’s for dinner. The three of us sat in a booth with me sitting by my daddy when Granny came over to us. “What can I get you all to eat?”
“A grilled cheese and hot coco with cinnamon.” Henry responded to her.
My daddy handed her the menu ordering something for us to share. He had seen that I wasn’t very hungry the past few days that our family was gone. “I'll do a barbecue bacon cheese burger with fries. We're splitting it if that's alright.”
“That’s not a problem. It'll be out shortly.” She nodded, walking away.
Laying my arms on the table I looked out the window until daddy spoke up to me. “Cecile, sweetheart. Are you okay?”
“I miss mama and Emma.”
He sighed looking over at Henry who gave me a sad look as well. “Yeah, we do too. But hey, I know something that will cheer you up.”
“What?” I asked looking up at him to see he had a half smile on his face doing what he could to make me happier.
He explained ruffling some of my hair on top of my head. “I'll tell you a story about me and your mother.”
“Thank you, daddy.” I cheered, jumping up into his arms and he held me for a few minutes till our food had came. By the time we had finished I was beginning to get tired and I nearly fell asleep in the booth feeling my father pick me up and carry me all the way home. He laid me down on my bed where I noticed he was walking away. “Where are you going?”
“I'm gonna check on Henry and I'll be right back.” He muttered, kissing my forehead before going down the hallway.
David’s pov
Once Henry had gotten settled in bed for the night I came down the hall finding Cecile sitting on top of the covers waiting for me to tuck her in. Crossing the room I sat down in front of her noticing that she was cuddling up with a unicorn stuffed animal. “Who gave you this little animal hmm?”
“Grandpa Rumple gave it to me.” She responded back to me.
Clasping my hands together I sent her a smile watching her lay her head down on one of the pillows and snuggle up with her stuffed animal. “You know back in our land you could have road horses and wore dresses. Really live like the princess you were born to be.”
“Can I wear a tiara and find my own prince someday?” My daughter giggled, picturing the life she would have had if we weren’t cursed.
Chuckling at my nine year old daughter I truly wished Jaide was here. That we all could be together back in our land and live the life we were supposed to have. “It’s possible, Cecile. Now didn’t I promise you a story?”
“Yay!” She laughed while I crawled up and laid down beside her underneath the covers. She laid her head down on my chest whispering to me. “I want my sister back, daddy.”
“I want them back too.” Kissing her head I opened Henry’s book and began reading our story, thinking back to when Jaide really missed her own sibling.
Removing a white tunic shirt from my body when I entered our bed chamber I found my wife laying in bed staring at her right wrist longingly. “What are you thinking about, honey?”
“My brother, Baelfire.” She simply replied, still just staring at the scar she had on her wrist. I knew something was up when she would only give me one worded answers.
Walking over to my side of the bed I crawled underneath the covers with her gently touching her shoulder attempting to get her to look at me. “What about your brother?”
“I’ve just been missing him lately.” She slowly rolled over snuggling up against me, laying her head on my bare shoulder. “Now that we’ve found out that we are going to be having twins I don’t like the idea that they might be separated.”
Placing one of my hands over her pregnant belly I draped my other one behind her back. “You never told me how you and your brother were separated. If you don’t mind me asking, how did it happen?”
“He wanted to leave this land and go to a Land without Magic. He thought that the only way our family could truly be together and be safe was to go somewhere my father wouldn’t have access to his power.” Jaide sucked in a breath and I felt her stiffen a little against me as she kept talking. “We opened a portal but my father refused to go through it, I did too. I couldn’t - I couldn’t abandon my father like my mother had done to us the day I was born.”
Tracing circles on her back I kissed the side of her head when she wiped away some tears. “I’m sorry you lost him that way. I’m sorry I asked about him.”
“Don’t apologize for that.” She lifted her head up shifting her get up to meet mine. “I'm not upset that you asked. I’m just worried the same thing may happen to our kids. It’s something I never want them to feel, the loss of a sibling is the worst thing in the world.”
Tucking some hair behind her ear I gave her a weak smile across my lips. “We’ll do our best to make sure that happens, Jaide.”
“I hope you’re right, Charming.” She closed her eyes once I wrapped my arms around her and we peacefully fell asleep that evening.

Kirppis
Kirppis is a flea market or a thrift shop, though Finns also include consignment shops. There are many of them in Finland and they are very popular. Kirppis shopping is a sort of national sport. It’s partly about sustainability. But of course, many people come for a chance to get cheap treasures. You can find all sorts of people here. There are a lot of mothers looking to buy clothes for their rapidly growing infants. There are elderly people looking at porcelain that is beautiful but wildly impractical. There are middle-aged men looking at old records and CDs. There are green-haired piercing-covered youths looking for something weird and edgy. And of course, a lot of immigrants, looking for cheap basic things and clothing. It truly makes you feel the saying “one man's trash is another man's treasure”. The town isn’t very big so it feels like over the years half the stuffs in town have changed hands.
I go to one kirppis a lot. Of course, more than anything, it’s a way to find cheap good things. But to me, it’s also an adventure. You never know what you may come across. Everyone has a weak spot for a certain type of things that they find hard to pass by. For me it’s stuffed toys, beautiful ceramics and children’s books. I also acquired a few too many boxes and containers. I think it’s a middle-aged thing to try to organize your mess of a life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finding something good and cheap gives you a rush. But these places always give a bit of a melancholy vibe as essentially, they’re a collection of unwanted things. I especially get that at consignment stores where people rent shelves to sell their things. There are a lot of clothes, dishes and glassware, toys and books, decorative items, even plants. Also a massive number of Moomin mugs, but that’s another story. And there are many reasons for people to sell things. Some clothes no longer fit and some are unwanted gifts. But sometimes a shelf tells a story. A hobby abandoned, a child grown up. And sometimes looking at someone’s things I wonder what event brought them here. Was the owner just bored with these things? Did they get them from an elderly relative who just died? Were those things unwanted reminders from a bad breakup? I sometimes come across books with lovely inscriptions inside, from friends or relatives. Those make me a bit sad. There’s one shelf that’s from a girl who went through an intense goth and anime stage and later apparently went on to study linguistics. I wonder how she’s doing… I guess I’m just weird like that.

Let's talk about Sakamoto Days...
After the trauma and anxiety the JJK manga gave me for the past two weeks, I decided to indulge myself in something new... Just finished reading chapter 136 of Sakamoto Days manga and now I'm finally caught up with it.
And man, this manga's so fucking amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩
There's no dull moment in this series 😆, the comedy is on point 😂, and the action is peak in every single chapter 👌👍️!!
In other words, everything in Sakamoto Days is just pure RAW.
Talking about favorite characters - Sakamoto and his wife and daughter, Shin, Lu, Heisuke, all the Order members (except for Kanaguri, that filmmaker guy, cause he's fucking annoying), Satoda sensei, Byodo, Akira, Amane, and the Seba brothers (Natsuki and Mafuyu) are those characters that I really enjoyed and care about them.
The grannies and grandpas in this series are no joke, for real, like that one time when a mob of grannies beat the shit out of Sakamoto at the shopping mall, oh god!!
The most robust character in this series - good ol' Takamura - yeah, he's also an old dude working for the Order. And the fact that the old man just fights half-asleep with a simple katana, slicing buildings, cars, bridges, and towers in half?!?! Crazy!!
But, among all of these crazy ass characters, there needs to be a "BAE" character, no??? And that "BAE" character for me is none other than - NAGUMO. 💘💖💕
Like, y'all, I just can't express how much I love this man!! 😍
Tumblr media
He's goofy AF with that smiley look he always has on his face... So unserious!! 😂😂😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The duality of this man though...😳😳😳
Tumblr media
His fight with Minimalist is so fucking RAW, y'all!! Like here he's goofing around and teasing that big dude... and the next thing you know...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...he chopped off that big dude's head!!! 😳😳😳
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, man loves going to toy stores to buy fake weapons... So stupid.😂😭💕
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Man's super fast that literally no one notices his moves!!😆
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Appears out of nowhere and is just there??? Like, sir, who invited you??🤨😒😑😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My man just loves chilling around... also, his love for his pocky sticks, yo...😋😋😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Getting all the ladies - A True Rizzler!!😍🤩😘
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How he starts his fights...😆😆😆
Tumblr media
How those fights end...😨😨😨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His bond with big guy Hyo is the funniest shit ever!!🤣🤣🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Him and the Order...😎😎😎
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When did he draw out his weapon?!?! How did he cut off his head?!?! Also, where's the weapon he used to cut off that big dude's head?!?!😨😨😨😱😱😱
Tumblr media
Him in the volume cover!!!😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
In short...
Welcome to my bae club, Nagumo!!! 😘😘😘
(My bae list, btw...)
Keisuke Baji from Tokrev
Dabi/Touya Todoroki from MHA
Satoru Gojo from JJK
Osamu Dazai from BSD
Nagumo from SakaDays (newly added)

Opera house AU, a few festive ideas;
Sun made Legend's baby blanket for his first Yuletide with her, Sky and Twilight. It has a pink bunny and Blupees on it
Flora's coveralls from Grandpa were a Yule gift from him because "Im proud of you" and she broke down crying because her dad never said that. She's joined him and Four's holiday tradition of "BBQ dinner in the bike shop garage with the local bikers" (they're the kind of gang like Bikers Against Child Abuse)
One Solstice, Malon invited Time to the family ranch. In return, he invited her to the Equinox with the Kokiri
When he's finally with Ilia, her and Twilight planned on a festive Ordon roundtrip. Bad weather delayed them a few days, nothing like surviving a blizzard together in a truck snowed-in on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere for romantic ambiance XD
Wind, Wars, Aryll and Linkle always make it to their Grandma's for the holidays. It's a rare time theyre all behaving
Dusk finds out Fable's her daughter and has that reunion in time for the solstice. Her first time with both her children since they were born and she's an emotional wreck (for all the right reasons though). At Legend's insistence, Sky and Sun were there too
Wild goes back to Hebra where he Shield Surfs with Selmie and Tulin
Hyrule volunteers at the soup kitchen he practically grew up in, spends every Yule there with his "Aunties" (the Great Fairies that run the place, they just started calling him their nephew when he was a kid)
Here for this!
The winter holidays are so much fun for the gang and after their traditional performance of A Christmas Carol, they all gathered in the backrooms for a holiday party before splitting off for the rest of the year to enjoy their own holidays.
Dusk and Hyrule are both new to the opera, and have no real family in town, but they got invitations from literally everyone to join them in their holiday festivities. Did this mean both of them took up Twilight's invitation this year? Yes, yes it does.
Flora is quickly falling in love with the gang, and they're quite willing to take her on as their second junior member (Four is the other one). The coveralls were well loved, and her first ever battle-jacket has been obtained as well! She is going to wear it everywhere <3
Sun ad Sky make new gifts every year. That blanket was the first, but there have been several more. My family has a tradition of wearing super long (waist length) stocking caps when we open presents, and Sun totally knit some of those for the holidays. Dusk got one this year too, although Legend knit it for her. She loves it. Sky made everyone new mugs. he's trying pottery out.
Hyrule volunteered around, and then managed to make it back in time for dinner with the Sutherlands (Twi and company). No worries, Ilia, Dusk, and Groose did the cooking, Twilight and the other two didn't do anything more than chop and mix where told. No damage was done and no food reanimated, and after gifts, Hyrule and Ledge fell asleep curled up together on the couch (covered with the blupee blanket).
Holidays in the islands were great, the postcards sent to the crew make everyone a little green. Wars and Wind come home with a ice new tan and Granny was so delighted to have everyone visit her for the holidays at her retirement home. She spent a good amount of time boasting to her new friends there about them. Wind is delighted to see all his cousins, and Aryll made a new friend with pretty red hair! Hogmanay was a little different in a beach community, but Wars and the girls had a lot of fun anyways, and Aryll and Wind had fun learning about their cousin's culture!
Wild has the most fun up in Hebra! He, Tulin and their dad all had the time of their lives. Their Hogmanay was delightful; Rito celebrate by flying from home to home rather than walking, when the weather is decent, and while Wild can paraglide, he also had some fun with shield surfing around with the other non-Rito neighbors in their rounds.
I'm going to say the Fable revelation was.....yeah. New Years in the opera is going to be fun >:)

Jump Festa 2024 SAKAMOTO DAYS Special Stage
(Part 1) Here are some of the things that were discussed, & exchanges that the guests had, which i manage to understand from the panel. I did not include those that i couldn't quite catch. Apologise if i misheard anything cuz my listening for Japanese isn't top-notch 🙏
Introduction
Guests for SAKAMOTO DAYS JF2024 panel are Sōsuke Ishikawa (editor in charge of SakaDays; from here on shall be referred as Ishikawa-san) and Ryōta Suzuki (special guest appearance; from here on shall be referred as Suzuki-san)
Ishikawa-san did not cosplay as anyone this time (lol; previously he cosplayed as Tarō Sakamoto in JF2022, fyi). However, he wore Sakamoto's Store apron this year & said that it is no longer sold in Jump Shop but there is a newer version which fans can still purchase.
Ishikawa-san mentioned that now that the series has reached its 3rd year anniversary, the battle with Slur is heating up which makes it more exciting to witness its future development.
When Suzuki-san came on stage he made a joke about how there's an X mark (meaning Slur lol) at the spot designated for him. He jokingly commented that we would chance upon so many Slurs (X marks) in our everyday life so he's hyperalert of his surroundings lmao.
1st Segment - Suzuki-san's Favourite Manga Scenes
Suzuki-san chose chapter 16, "Department Store War": the limited edition Sugar-chan backpack sale scene. He expressed that he could really feel Sakamoto's love for his daughter, Hana-chan, in this chapter. And seeing how Sakamoto is now fighting as a Dad, & not as a hitman, really stood out here & it's amazing to see. He also praised the series' comedic scenes and remarked that those grannies in the chapter are way more scarier than any other assassins in the series.
Ishikawa-san added that as a backpack enthusiast, he felt that he need to get his hands on a Sugar-chan backpack too.
Suzuki-san's next favourite manga scene is chapter 28, "First Rate" (or "Top Notch" whichever yall prefer), specifically Seba versus Shin & Heisuke. Suzuki-san recounted his experience when reading this chapter, he wondered how Shin would fight an invisible person & moreover Shin couldnt read his mind when Seba wore the invisibility suit. But then Heisuke came to assist Shin, and Suzuki-san praised Heisuke for being a great guy who not only consoled Hana-chan when she cried (cuz she was left by herself in store) & told her that Piisuke would help find them. Ishikawa-san also agreed that Heisuke is a really good guy!
Suzuki-san explained that he had put lots of thoughts into choosing his favourite scenes as he took into account those people who have yet to read the series. He actually wanted to add a scene with "the strongest grandpa" Takamura! Suzuki-san confirmed it when Ishikawa-san guessed if it was the Tokyo Tower-slicing scene. Suzuki-san remarked that he was mindblown when that scene happened.
Ishikawa-san was asked to provide his thoughts on Suzuki-san's scene choices. He said that Sakamoto is always fighting a lot so seeing him take a breather and get to do a normal everyday life kind of stuff plus those hilarious (department store war) scenes was refreshing so he's glad Suzuki-san chose that chapter. As for chapter 28, the Seba versus Shin & Heisuke happened to be one of his favourites too. He enjoyed how Shin & Heisuke both try to adapt in the battle, with Shin not being able to mind-read, but the two never once gave up as they pushed on to defeat Seba, who has the invisibility ability.
2nd Segment - Special Q&A with Suzuki-sensei (done behind-the-scenes)
You may refer to the JF2024 Q&A questions which I have previously translated.
Q1. ALTERNATIVE CAREERS // Ishikawa-san thought that all the characters' alternative careers made sense. As for Suzuki-san, he was absolutely convinced that Sakamoto would have opened a ramen shop business & be the manager there. He added that Sakamoto's current shop could pass as a ramen shop as it already looked the part so he was really surprised with the home improvement/hardware store manager answer lol. He also commented that Nagumo is very handsome so him being an actor or model makes a lot of sense. As for Ishikawa-san, he also added that he can already picture Heisuke to still be in training even after he becomes a Chef lmaooo.
Q2. REST DAYS // Suzuki-san was just fanboying over Osaragi 😂 He said "Osaragi-san is the best and she's super cute!" and Ishikawa-san agreed. Ishikawa-san said she reminds him of a cat! Ishikawa-san further stated that, according to Suzuki-sensei, Nagumo is the kind who can switch between On & Off modes easily. Sensei also said that he would sometimes just sit on his bed on his day off, with his hair all messy, and just do Sudoku puzzles. Ishikawa-san confessed that he never expected such information though it's interesting, and then Suzuki-san chimed in & said that everyone generally likes guys with gaps (aka gap moe. Meaning: contrast between one’s appearance and personality, or the difference between someone’s actual personality and from first impression you had of them). Suzuki-san also added that Nagumo is pretty sly.
Q3. COOKING ABILITIES // Suzuki-san never would have guessed that Osaragi can cook! He even joked that Osaragi would cut her food/ingredients using her buzzsaw & then they joked that she'd even cut through the kitchen counter lmaooo. As for Ishikawa-san, he felt that Osaragi is good at cooking home-cooked meals. Then moving on to Yotsumura (the goat), Ishikawa-san stated that he actually asked Suzuki-sensei what Yotsumura's specialty was & Sensei stated that Yotsumura can cook just about anything -from Italian, French to Japanese cuisines you name it, anything at all! Lastly, Ishikawa-san remarked that since Mafuyu is a clean freak or a germophobe, he probably would not touch anything, much less cooking. Suzuki-san seconded this & went on to say that Mafuyu would never cook at all.
Q4. AOI & SAKAMOTO FIRST MEETING // Suzuki-san commented that Sakamoto being all shy, hesitant & fidgety is super cute & adorable. Ishikawa-san thought Aoi has great communication skills as Aoi strikes him as the type who would instantly speak what's on her mind so she must have been really worried for Sakamoto at that time (seeing him w blood).
Q5. SUZUKI-SENSEI'S MESSAGE TO SHIN & SAKAMOTO // Suzuki-san remarked that while Shin doesn't look like the series MC -cuz he imagined the MC to be someone really strong- he felt that Shin & the rest of the characters around him have made an impact & things have been exciting thanks to them too. Ishikawa-san pointed out that Shin is more of a "growth" type character. Comparing him to Sakamoto, who could just defeat anyone single-handedly and easily, Ishikawa-san explained that Shin doesn't have all that but no matter the obstacles & difficulties thrown his way, he constantly tried his best & never gave up, and that's what makes one want to root for him. Suzuki-san also expressed his opinion on how he feels like Sakamoto is the “I got your back” type of person, to which Ishikawa-san agreed, saying that whenever Shin is in a pinch, Sakamoto would always come to his rescue.

I had this post sat in my draft for months and finally, it’s time for my boys’ house tour episode…
—Yuuya Kanata
Tumblr media
Top Row: Balcony/Laundry, Yuuya’s Bedroom, Ojou-chan’s house Middle Row: Father’s altar, Entrance, Kitchen Bottom Row: Recording Room, Father’s Room/Mini Studio, Living Room
🏮 Tidbits 🏮
Yuuya lives on the 2nd floor of a certain apartment in Nara city
He is on favorable terms with the landlord auntie. Moreover, she shows to be quite sympathized with him for his father’s sudden demise
He usually does laundry on the balcony and also keeps some edible veggies like sunflower sprouts in the planters out there
His bedroom used to have bunk beds back when his big sis was still around, but when she left, he sold it out because he thinks it has no use for someone living alone anymore…
After adopting Ojou-chan, he decided to build a cat house to welcome her. And as funny as it may seem, he has recently got another new roommate again —Luckily, looks like this new roommate doesn’t need much space for the living
He owns one red bicycle which he regularly uses and is allowed to parked it in the parking space on the ground floor
Another trivia about him: he can cook rather well as he usually the one who makes his own meals. Well, he has a habit to depend on instant food whenever he feels down
He was once used to take charge of making meals when his father was still alive since his father was utmostly clumsy when it comes to cooking.
His father’s room is full of his bittersweet memories yet is his most favorite place to find himself in, and now he has turned it into his own mini-studio
Although his father has owned a separated studio elsewhere nearby, in his room is still all equipped with many music instruments which Yuuya refuses to sell any no matter what
There is a minimal soundproof room (Recording room) built in one side of his father’s room as well
Also, on the other side of the room has his father’s urn placed in a small altar. And you may guess it right: his family including him is Buddhist
—Asahi Tomoharu
Tumblr media
Top Row: Back Corridor, Asahi’s Bedroom Middle Row: Store Interior, Exterior/Storefront, Store Counter Bottom Row: Grandpa’s Room, Living Room, Kitchen
🍡 Tidbits 🍡
Asahi lives with his grandparents and their personal spaces are mostly up on the upper floor of their store 
His house and family store “Harumatsuya” is located in Nara city’s commercial district known as ‘Naramachi’ a.k.a. granny Momose’s territory
His house/store had been constructed in somewhat traditional Japanese style since the early generations of his grandfather 
Despite still preserving some traditional elements like tatami mats and sliding doors, Asahi renovates almost everything in his room according to his own likings such as decorating it in comfy pink and vamping up his bed to be a canopy one
Asahi is an anime and manga lover too! He has his own manga corner and keeps so many merchs as well as plushies in his room
Most of his numerous hobbies are handicrafts and one of them is embroidery, therefore, he also has one sewing machine placed somewhere in his room. He may not be into crossdressing or cosplaying himself but he is kinda into making cute clothes!
Asahi’s grandpa is unfortunately bedridden, so his own room is on the first floor (For convenience) and his room is equipped with few medical supports
His kitchen and ingredient room is pretty large and is located at the back of the first floor where Asahi and his grandmother mostly spend so much time preparing things before the shop opens
—Saigo Fuyugami

Top Row: Saigo’s Bedroom, Antique Room, Office Middle Row: Hydrangea Garden, Exterior, Staircase Bottom Row: Security Vault/Chishio’s Room, Living Room, Dining Room

Uhuh. After that recent Chap. All I gonna say is RIP Jichang. The one and only that look like Nanami from jujitsu kaisen and also have the fate of Nanami
So the head cannon if notable achievement of the dilf Jichang Kwak
Tumblr media
Achievement of Jichang Kwak Headcannon
He definitely have alot of Granny or Grandpa that offer to introduce thier grandchildren to him
I meaning he is good looking, strong and dedicated to work. All elders in the town would like him as thier grand son in law.
Got alot of fan in the work field
Loved by all grannies and gramps
I definitely see him receiving alot of farm good from the elder as a sign of thanking
He basically does the heavy lifting when helping around
Especially around the farm land
And he also made those young gangster behaves
One time there is a small timer gang that terror and be nuisance to all parents and elderly
Jichang basically goes that area and beat the teenager ass like nothing
You can say those guys just become a well behaved children
All of Townies praises Jichang for making the village peaceful once more
One month later after that incident
The teenage gang bowing at Jichang and greet him as the "boss"
And those teenager help around the farmland, elderly and defend the town from the outsiders.
He have free bento boxes or lunch when visiting small restaurants as a thanks from the parents or shop owners.
Jibeom try to have a drinking contest as Jichang being a cop he reject that invitation and also jibeom is still minor
But elder say just go on with it and take a break
So the contest ensues
Jichang winning the contest, he is at the outside of the building smoking looking out his junior Jibeom who is puking his guts.
Then Jihan came and wanting to join the gang
When Jihan officially joined Jichang and Jibeom brought him to the bathhouse just to strengthen thier bonds
Let just say Jihan and Jibeom being a rascals, they ending up wrestling in the water which resulting them getting hit on the head
Jichang is known as the person who hate chaostic bath.
Huh? What about thier reaction each other dong??
You can just say they are above average probably at Samuel and Eli level. Thier reaction just fine no extreme surprise or anything
Jichang have past relationships during his time as the Seoul King but now
He is dedicated in helping elder plan
I would imagine he would unofficial relationship in the village but didn't continue as he worry that he will die from the risky plan.

Jamaica Day 2
Today was my great grandma’s birthday, we celebrated yesterday with a home full of children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. A blessing beyond what could be imagined for a family. Today with it only being my immediate family mother,grandmother & bonus grandfather included and extended family we spent time with granny and gave her gifts. My gift was simple a simple nameplate and one of her favorite chocolates Cadbury fruit and nuts. It was a shame that the heat caused it to melt but the fridge saved it luckily regardless of how lumpy 😂. The smile on her face I swear is currency enough ❤️
After this I went to visit my father’s grave. I’ve never gone when I was here last over 20 years ago. My mother and grandmother struggled to find him until grandma spotted his stone it was hard to see it because it was covered in dirt. It was surreal, I’d always thought about how’d I’d react but it wasn’t sad it was indifferent to know that my biological father is in there and I have no memory of him because I was baby when he was murdered due to mistaken identity. It’ll always be a matter in thoughts of what ifs. But either way I’m grateful I’ve been able to visit him even if it’s not in the flesh and never will be. I also found my grandma, my father’s mother a few steps down. I think I was more emotional for her because I spent time with her and around her enough to remember her well, and I didn’t get to see her before she died and it definitely hurt me but seeing her was also heartwarming.
Once we were finished with the cemetery we visited my grandpa, my father’s father. This was great ❤️ I wanted to surprise him but somehow he already had a feeling we were coming and was keeping an eye out for us (iykyk) I enjoyed hearing his stories and will see him before I leave along with my aunt.
After visiting grandpa and experiencing trekking up his hill to house we went to see my great great grandmother home were my Granny grew up and my mother and grandmother. We ran into a pack of puppies 🐶 so cute I wanted to just take one with me but my grandmother told me to leave them alone because the mom might be near by and might be protective. The cute part it started with one then a whole pack came running out lol looking for scratches and play.
We winded the day down with some shopping my cousins took us to the market. We got some fruits. Star apple, Otaheite Apple, Nessberries, and different kinds of mangoes I didn’t even know existed. We also did KFC which was a bit underwhelming but hopefully next time I can try beef patty and a coconut.
Additional note mosquitos have been eating my legs alive 😩😩😩😩
Can’t wait for day 3 ❤️

The Damage You Do: ch 22, pt 1
New chapter! This one is also pretty short.
Previously
~
wwx hummed happily to himself as lwj washed his hair. Today had been a good day, all things considered. Kinda funny, how a day that involved getting assaulted in the woods had ended up overall good, but he wasn’t going to fight it. Sometimes the universe was a wild, wild place, and you just had to go with it!
lwj sat behind him, washing his hair with the diligence he himself washed A-Yuan’s hair with. So careful of knots and curls, making sure it was completely clean, and no soap was hiding, just waiting to irritate his skin later. It was taking a lot of shampoo and conditioner to get it clean, what with how long and thick it was, but he was sure his dom could afford it.
He was also sure he was going to smell pretty damn good after this—like lwj, he supposed. They’d smell the same…
That was kinda hot?
He swayed slightly from side to side as he hummed. He wasn’t sure what song it was, probably something from one of the show’s A-Yuan watched? He was good at tuning that stuff out, but sometimes it just got stuck inside him. Sometimes, A-Yuan hummed them as well, or sang really wrong lyrics to completely wrong tunes. His son was smart, but not the most musical. He wanted to be, though! wwx had seen him eyeing up instruments in shops a few times, or sidling up to the grannies and grandpas who played at the cultural centre. Maybe he’d find someone to teach A-Yuan an instrument, now that he had the money…
He should probably wait, until he had enough that he could set aside money for lessons for the rest of A-Yuan’s life, though. That was the sensible thing to do. You never knew when circumstances could change! He would hate to have to pull his child out of something he had grown to love because of his own bad planning!
wwx moaned as lwj began rinsing his hair, bringing the shower head right to his scalp to gently massage it. “That feels good,” he mumbled, resisting the urge to fall back against the other man—he’d already been reprimanded for that once… or twice. He couldn’t help it, okay!? lwj was just so comfy and safe, and he really wanted to just be back in his dom’s arms! Their time together was quickly running out, and while he loved this whole showering thing—had especially loved the sex part in the middle—it wasn’t quite the same as just snuggling together!
wwx mumbled about how unfair it was, perfectly aware that lwj probably couldn’t hear him over the sound of the shower, and for a bit he amused himself by telling the other man things of no real consequence. How he had planned to go buy new underwear today, but it was now going to have to wait until tomorrow. How he had no idea what they would be having for dinner that night. How A-Yuan was obsessed with the things lwj had given him—
“Oh, yeah!” wwx said, twisting around to face lwj when the rinsing was done. “I didn’t get to properly thank you for the care package!”

28 - Deals are a Stilskin Thing
Tumblr media
Part 29
The Siphoning Princess
Tag list [ @mystrey101 @melvia-ito @kmc1989 @tallrock35 @onentaien-kwara @child-of-of-the-sunshine
David’s pov 
Everyone in Storybrooke was in a panic and needing answers and all looking to me for what to do next.  I didn’t realize how much Jaide and even Snow did the talking or delegating of the kingdom until recently.  Walking out of Granny’s Cecile followed my heels with her short blonde hair flowing in the wind.  “Daddy, are we going to get them back?” 
Last night I had to give her and Henry the bad news that their mothers had fallen through a portal and we didn’t know where.  Bending down I scooped her up into my arms telling her.  “It’ll take time but yes.  We will find them.” 
“Where are we going now?” She asked laying her head on my shoulder 
Staring into her soft eyes we didn’t talk until we reached our destination.  “To Rumplestilskin’s pawn shop.” 
“ It appears when I bought that closed sign, I was just throwing my money away.” Jaide’s father grumbled pausing the packing he was doing when we walked inside his shop. 
Sitting my daughter down on her feet I closed the door behind us when he turned to see who had walked inside.  “Looks like it.”
“Grandpa!” Cecile ran to the dark one with no fear anywhere in her voice.  She jumped up into his arms making him almost fall till he got better balance between her and his cane. 
“Be easy on him, Cecile.” I warned her ,knowing about his bad leg. 
“Hi there, little princess.” Rumplestilskin sent her a smile addressing his granddaughter before bothering with me.  “Sorry to hear about your wife and daughter. If you’re looking for a retrieval, I’m afraid portal jumping is just outside my purview.”
I snapped back.  “Of course it is.”
“So, what’s the commotion outside?” He nudged his head towards the door. 
Glancing to the window you could hear people panicking outside from the news the dwarfs had delivered earlier this morning.  “Oh, a little stir at the border. Problem crossing the line.”
“ Do tell.” He pressed on.
I ignored his request.  “Actually, I’m here to buy something. A way to find someone.”
“Well, like a map?” He joked. 
Smirking at him I knew he would know what I was talking about since he helped me wake his daughter from her sleeping curse. “Something with a bit more kick. Like the ring you gave me to find Jaide.”
“Ah, yeah, magic.” He lightly chuckled.  “ Whom are you following?” 
“Not telling.”
The dark one asked me.  “So, do you have something of theirs, this missing person?”
“Yes.”
He asked me another question.  “May I see it?”
“No.” Smirking at him I put my hands together in front of my chest simply waiting. 
“Let’s see here.  Pick up the green one there, Cecile.  Oh thank you dear.” Rumplestilskin points to a specific vial instructing the child in his arms to pick it up from the box that was behind them.  She gently gave it over to him and they faced me once more.  “Pour this on the object, and then follow it. So simple, even David Nolan could do it.”
He holds it in front of him, but pulls away when I go to take it. “What do you want?”
“Peace. Leave me alone.” 
Shaking my head I couldn’t believe he was even suggesting something like that to me. He was usually the one to be involved in everybody’s lives, not me.  “What do you care what David Nolan does?”
“Oh, no. It’s Charming I worry about. I’d like a little non-interference guarantee.” He chuckled at me while my little girl was playing with the black tie he wore. 
“Fine. If, you give me the same. You and I – we stay out of each other’s way.” 
He handed the potion over to me before Cecile sneezed and we both saw her blonde hair glow where I had to hold up a hand to shield my eyes.  “Thank you for your business.”
“I’ve never seen anything like that before.” Rumplestilskin muttered blankly, eyeing the nine year old girl he was holding in his arms. 
Lowering my hand I saw that her hair had returned to its normal color shortly afterwards.  “What the heck was that?  How do you not know what just happened to my daughter, you’re the Dark One.” 
“Watch your tone, Charming.  Now I believe I may have seen this somewhere but it will take some time.” He suggested waiting for me to talk him out of it.  Unfortunately I knew he was the best person to get me answers about my daughters safety.  “Give me some time alone with her and I’ll see if I can figure out what type of magic she has.” 
“Fine.” Nodding my head I stepped up kissing my daughter on top of her head gently. 
I start to leave, but he interrupts me.  “So, uh, what happens when you try and cross the border?”
“You lose your memory of everything of our old lives. Looks like we’re stuck here.” Staring at my father in law and my daughter standing at the other end of the shop.  Opening the door I warned him to not let anything bad happen to her.  “Don’t let her get hurt or put her in any danger.  Otherwise we’ll have problems.” 
I hoped my girls were safe wherever Jefferson’s hat had sent them. 
Jaide’s pov  
Walking down below the deck out the ship I set the sword in my hands I closed my eyes concentrating before a puff of red smoke surrounded me and disappeared so I could see the new change standing in front of the mirror.  I was now wearing a long sleeve gray tunic, black trousers and black combat boots.  My hair was now twisted into different braids with it falling down my back.  “Was a wardrobe change really necessary, little dark one?” Sliding the sword inside the holder of my belt I heard the wooden steps creak causing me to spin around creating a ball of fire in my hand. 
“It is when you haven’t been in your former home for 82 years.  I have no clue what has changed while we were ripped away from this land.” Glaring at the pirate standing across from me I was in no mood to deal with his remarks. 
The pirate came closer to me causing me to draw my hand with fire backwards ready in defense.  “Smart woman.  Unfortunately though I have no interest in helping you find your daughter.  I already have a trip planned with another woman.” 
“You seem to have already forgotten who I’m related to.” Moving my other hand forward I shoved it inside the captain’s chest. 
Hook grunted in pain.  “Aaahhh!” 
“My father taught me everything he knew about magic, especially dark magic.” Removing my hand I gently held his bright red beating heart in the palm of my hand.  Glaring at the man in front of me I brought the heart closer to my lips, controlling him.  “Now this is what is going to happen.  You are going to tell me where your partner is heading and what exactly they are looking for to create a portal from this land.” 
Hook started breathing heavily laying on the ground on his knees.  “There's a rumor of a previous portal existing in this land.” 
“The wardrobe.  What else?” I gently squeezed the heart, making him wince. 
“She needs to find a magical compass that is located at the top of an old beanstalk. She gave me a magical bracelet to climb it “ 
I questioned him.  “So where is your traveling companion now?” 
“She went to a village.  I haven't heard from her since.  I assume she's still there.” He explained sending me a look of sympathy.  “Now please return my heart.  I don't have your daughter here as I have already told you.” 
Squeezing his heart lightly he fell against the nearest wall gasping for breath.  “As long as i hold your heart you will do whatever I tell you to do.  And if you attempt to betray me or kill me I will crush your heart without blinking and walk away!” Glaring with a serious scowl I didn't loosen my grip until he cried out. 
“Fine! I'll take you to the village.” 
Releasing my grip I found an abandoned shackle hanging near me.  “Excellent.  We are leaving now and I'll be keeping this until we find my daughter, pirate.” Hook shut his eyes watching me place his heart inside the bag, stomping up the old stairs.
