✮⋆˙ DIGITAL SILENCE ୨୧

YANDERE MR.PUZZLES X READER WHOS IN SMG4'S CREW.

A/N:Yahoo! im back babeyyy,way better now and, btw ik smg4's fandom isnt that famous and this will probably only get 2/3 views, but im doing this anyways, this is NOT PROOFREAD edit: this aged like milk

Type: Headcanons, romantic, fluff/light angst.

Tw/Cw: Yandere topics, he hypnotizes you, obsessive behavior, paranoia, delusion, possessiveness, overprotection, suggestive(?), he literally worships you so much, emotional dependence .

Song recommendation: Creative control - Mr puzzles

୨୧ He got so hooked up on you, and he doesnt know how or why, but he just knew he needed you when he first landed his cameras on you, you were so captivating, he had to understand why.

୨୧ Before he hypnotized everyone, he kept a big eye on you, that were blissfully unaware of his obsession or existence, sometimes he got so excited of looking at you that he almost got to capture you to himself, but he had to control himself, he could do that later.

୨୧ When puzzles finally hypnotized everyone, he needed to see you first than EVERYBODY else and my god, you were so precious and beautiful in person, he couldnt get enough from looking at you, he was so glad he finally got to see your pretty face in person.

୨୧ During the shows, whenever you were on screen, he would display you always as the most perfect character in the story and sometimes he would even insert himself in them just to be more close to you or to be your love interest.

୨୧ He enjoys watching your performances so much, you were just made for the screens! you easily highlighted yourself in every show, even if you were just standing, or staying in the background, he would pay attention to you everytime, every single move you do or word you say, he is paying full attention.

୨୧ He would be extra touchy with you, since he was very lonely when a child, he would take all the years of him wishing there was someone to hug him and etc. On you, he would be soo touch starved.

୨୧ Puzzles would get a bit paranoid and feared when you get your conscience back, he tried to comfort himself with the "they'll never know" mindset, protected by the delusion that he did the right thing of hypnotizing you.

୨୧ Puzzles would panic when you got your conscience and memories back, but relieved that you wouldnt remember the stories where he inserted himself in so he could be creepily more close to you.

୨୧ But when he heard you also wanted to leave, he was furious, how could his own darling try and leave him?! hes the one who can make u a real star, the real deal, and the others are just... second characters, how can you want to stay with such pesky brats?! they were nothing compared to you!

୨୧ But he didnt blame you, you were with those weirdos since the beginning consequently making you not even know half of your potential since you were brainwashed by that pesky crew, so, he had to show you that your place was with him, on the big screens with only him, nobody else.

୨୧ If you wanted to stay with him or not didnt really matter, you were in his reality, he could make you his whenever, he just felt like giving you the illusion of a choice in hopes you would "choose" the right decision. (hes not insane at all! hes just silly!)

୨୧ You were his precious puppet, his puppet, his companion, he couldnt let you leave, no, he couldnt, he needs you and you will need him, he would show you your place, he eventually would.

୨୧ "When i saw you, i instantly knew that you were a natural star, so be good and stay with me, okay?"

It's all in the side notes

I can’t believe why is not painfully obvious for everybody else too, it's like everyone notices everything around it except this huge elephant in the Sydcarmy room.

Let me explain:

The side notes on the script are what the actors play, not just the script itself. The subtexts, the nuances, the silences, all of that is indicated by the director and rehearsed over and over before shooting at least 2 takes of every single scene.

02X01 was about teamwork towards The Bear's opening, that's why the director opened and closed the ep with that, to make that point. The side notes were all about playing every single scene with a SOU, fast-paced dialogues, etc, because every second counts and that's why a clock was ticking on pretty much every scene.

When 02x02 ends with a close-up of Claire smiling after Carmy gives her the wrong number, that´s not the point the director tried to make, but that Carmy TOOK HIS FUCKING TIME in giving her the wrong number, he almost gave it to her in slow motion, meaning that as he was giving it to her he was deciding what he eventually ended up doing with the last digit. He was on the fence the whole time and ended up deciding to "cut her off politely" in a very Carmy way. That was a side note in the script (the speech rate and the "decide as you go", and "be doubtful first" part).

In 02x03, the Sydcarmy vs Clairmy battle really began and it continued throughout the whole S2, all side notes because the script was barely obvious about Claire until he said: "I have to call my GF" after passing the gas inspection. Notice a pattern here? Or is it just me?

02X04 was mostly focused on Marcus in Copenhagen and introduced us to Chef Luca, raising the question, on purpose leaving it as an unanswered question - that will probably be answered in S3- on whether Luca was talking about Carmy when he was talking about a chef that was way better than him and that inspired him to become the chef he is today and up his game as much as he could. In other words: Not Sydcarmy material. Except we buy into the whole SydMarcus shipping they tried to insinuate with the Facetime call, which I won't get into because I feel dirty even typing about it. How dare they? Is it because they are both black? WTF?!! Well, my point is this is probably the least Sydcarmy episode of the season and we need to make a mental note about who directed it.

02x05 This episode's arc is all about the script's side notes: "Who's Claire? / I'm saying goodnight!" is all about the intonation, not the actual words. This is the bridge of the whole Sydcarmy song, that's why it's mid-season. Notice something? I have...

02x06 The masterpiece, it's all about the side notes but again, super non Sydcarmy, it's just supposed to show us The Berzatto's background story so Syd is not part of the equation. Claire is, in a way that will later make a lot more sense during Omelette's panic attack, of course.

02x07 AKA: My favest, is also a non-Sydcarmy kinda ep. Is all about Cousin's arc. BTW: I 100% ship these 2 and I hope S3 brings more RichJess fluff and stuff:

02X08 is all about the side notes again and takes us right back into SydCarmy vs Clairmy territory. Carmy had to call his new GF after passing the inspection to give her the good news.

02x09 I shouldn't even have to say a damn thing about this ep. Other than pointing out the obvious: IT'S THE MOST SYDCARMY EP OF THE WHOLE FUCKING SEASON, TYVM!

All I'm gonna add is that Carmy is laying awake after having sex with her:

I already talked about the common blue light in this scene here.

I'm not even gonna get into his panic attack. I mean... Do I have to? Seriously?

Anyway...

Storer finally joined the ship Calo was sailing since the beginning of the season here and all the side notes in this script are HIS.

The cinematography is his, the music is his, and every line, because he co-wrote it with Sydcarmy CEO: Joanna Calo herself.

And so we arrive to 02X10 where Sydcarmy is eaten alive by The Bear but ironically enough the one who doesn't survive is the Clairmy team LMAO! Sydcarmy on the other hand keeps going strong (Ayo was promoted to co-star for a reason, she's no longer part of the cast, she's the female lead of the show now) and in S3 we'll get to see how exactly will that play out.

My point is: The director and then the editors in the ER with the EP's sign-off can change what the writers write if they choose to and the actors have to perform the side notes according to the director's instructions.

In this case, since Storer joined the Calo Sydcarmy ship as I previously mentioned and usually they co-write and always co-produce the seasons those scripts, side notes, musicalizations and editions ARE ALL THEIRS. Every time Calo touches something, she turns it into Sydcarmy gold, and Storer and her are on the same page. That's why most Sydcarmy eps of the season were hers or his or directed by both.

June can't get here soon enough.

TFA Starscream x Autobot mech reader smutty time<3

Feel free to ignore!!!! YOUR FFS KEEP ME SANE BTW😭😭😭

Between me and you? I care a little.

Pairing: Tfa Starscream x Reader

Reader type: Autobot Mech

Song: she calls me daddy - king mala

Warnings: Smut

An: Im glad you like my stuff so much lol. And sorry this is a bit short! But I do hope you enjoy!

"If you don't keep quiet we're going to get caught." You hissed into Starscream's audial. The seeker in question couldn't have cared less. If anything he became louder as you drug your spike along his valve.

"Pit if I care if they hear." He rolled his hips against yours. A salacious grin on his lips as he squeezed down on your spike. You hips stuttered. A breathless moan played at your lips.

"Fraggit Con." You lean you helm against his. Pulling up on his thighs to move him further up on the wall you were fragging him against. Starscream complained about how you were going to ruin his paint up until you hit a cluster of nodes in his valve.

"Really. If your any louder someone's gonna come looking. Last thing I need to do is explain to Optimus why i'm fragging our enemy." You looked at the mech who had his helm thrown back. Vents rattling loudly as you hit those nodes again. "Although you do look nice like this. Maybe I wouldn't mind showing you off to much." Starscream moaned. Drew in a shaking breath as he glared at you.

"You fragger." You laughed. Pulled his helm towards you so you could capture his lips in a heated kiss.

"Only for you Screamer." You spoke against his lips. "Only for you." You reached a digit down to press circles against his puffy node. Drawing out more of those sounds that you oh so enjoyed hearing.

His voice wasn't so grating like this. Lost in the pleasure you were giving him. The beginning of all of this started as hate fucking, as the humans would call it.

The amount of times he had called you a groundpounder. Really, if you were paid you'd be able to retire somewhere by now.

"That's it Screamer. C'mon. That's my pretty mech." You spoke lowely. Encouraging him further and further into the pleasure you were giving him. Your own frame ran hot. Fervorously so.

"Not. Your. Mech." Starscream bit out and you chuckled.

"Oh? Am I your mech then? Pretty thing?" You bucked your hips. Leaning forwards as to get him closer to you. You laved your mouth against the closest part of his wing to you. You could feel Starscream shiver beneath you. His valve cycling and clenching around you almost painfully.

"Uh huh. My mech. All mine." Starscream whined out. "All mine. Not the Autobots. Mine." With that he bit you. Despite every time you told him not to. He bit harshly enough at the cabling in your neck to bruise. You supposed it was a seeker thing but Primus. How many more time could you use fighting the Cons as an exscuse?

Although. If this is what constituted as fighting you supposed more Bots would be joining.

Starscream began to babble nonsense. A surefire sign he was close to an overload. His entire frame tensed. Helm thrown back and scraping against the wall behind him. Fluids flowed out and smeared all over yours and his thighs. You found your own release soon after him. Spilling transfluid within him as your own high peak and fell.

The two of you said nothing. Sitting in a blissed out silence. After a moment you pulled out. Watching as your combined transfluid spilled out of Starscream's valve and onto the ground below.

Pulling a rag from your subspace you cleaned him off the best you could out in the open. You let your field flow over his. Letting him feel the comfort and ease you felt.

"I meant it. Ya know." Starscream spoke after a moment. "You're mine." His helm clunked against your chassis. "You mean a lot to me. For a ground pounding Autobrat." You laughed.

"Right back at ya Star. Right back at ya."

[madm3l0dy]

Rules: shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people.

Ty for tagging me @razmerry you know I'm a freak abt music!!

Included some of my thoughts on the songs but it's almost like 2am so it's a bit incoherent.

1- Frozen Heart - SIAMES

I think I was listening to this a lot when I was making a drawing of my object ocs, Ross and Percy, and it ended up in my on repeat. It also makes me think of Roger, it might be in his playlist now idr. This song devastates me in every possible way and I LOVE it. "Can we leave it behind? Cause I just don't know where we're going..."

2- Digital Silence - Peter McPoland

I just really like this song. It makes me think of Razmerry's patfw a lot (I still want to make a pmv with those characters with this song, btw), but lately I've been relating it a lot to my own ocs, specifically the old people cast of my comic Cursed Lights (except when they were younger :333). "This is the way that it is, this is the way that it always will be.."

3- Need 2 - Pinegrove

I like listening to this song when I go walk outside when the sun is just starting to set- my "sunset quests." I also just find a bit of relatability in this song. "It's nothing worth me saying aloud... so why do I seem to need to?"

4- Brutus - The Buttress

I literally love this song SOOOO much it's unreal. It's so Doggo and Nyx core. I want to make a pmv with this still so bad. Funny because when I first heard it I related it more to an au I had of Doggo, but now it fits very nicely with her character in canon. :) "I don't want what you had- I wanna be you!"

5- KICK BACK - Kenshi Yonezu

Tbh I don't know how this ended up here but this song has come on a lot lately in my liked songs so ig it makes sense??? Chainsawman opening, a banger fr. A very fun song to listen to.

6- Lovers - Kiltro

SWIFTPAW ZOMBIE AU MAPPPPP I had a part in it and was listening to this OBSESSIVELY. This song is seriously so good though, I'm glad the map introduced me to it. Again a song I've related to Ross and Percy, but also Roger CL. Roger. Rogerrrrr :,,,,,( my tragic old man, literally one of my favorite non main CL cast. "...All that's past or what comes next. Lovers, brothers, killers, friends..."

7- EXUVIUM - Crywolf

I'm so. I'm so normal about Crywolf songs. One of my favorite music artists like. Ever. And this song is one of my favorites, it's so insane. I love how bro screams for the last like 40 seconds of the song. Between the fact I listen to the album this is in frequently, and I've been (internally) planning an amv with my oc Smiley with this song lately, it's literally rarely left my on repeat LOLLL. "Lay waste to everything with your light..."

8- Gold Guns Girls - Metric

I've been getting into a lot of Metric songs lately, I really enjoy them. This is one of my favorites! I relate it to Daisy from my comic, as well :) I like to listen to this song when I'm in the shower sometimes, it's a fun sing along song. "I just wanna be your friend, is it ever gonna be enough?"

9- DOUBLE TROUBLE - Odetari

This is one of those songs that I don't really like half of the lyrics to HELP MEEE. I really like the main "Trouble, Trouble" part of the song and like the general pacing and rhythm of it but that's it. Makes me think of Damon and Robin since those two are literally double trouble haha. I didn't realize I listened to it a lot.

10- Song About Me - TV Girl

I like listening to this one, it's fun. I wanted to make something with it with Melody and Mimic, but idk if I ever will finish it :// I really love the little voice in the back that repeats everything. "But who really cares? If it was all in my mind, if it was all in my mind, to begin with."

I do NOT have 10 people to tag haha. Don't feel obligated to do this if I tagged you!

[yamitheyin]

i went to a "party" today and because a group of us were just waiting for the rest of them to finish the partying i put on Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. unfortunately, we didn't find where the remote was so we could turn up the volume, so most of the movie was in silence except for the part that played 'Song of the Sun' and 'Eternal Diva', in which i just played the ost from my phone.

things that happened during the viewing session:

child who was there decided professor layton always knew the answer to everything from the intro and was deus ex machina

same child calling janice during the play "queen elizabeth"

same child started calling the game for eternal life squid game

me: "why do they say 'puzzle 001' as if the puzzles in this movie ever go above the single digits?" (yes, in game it like that. but also the english dub is like "puzzle zero zero one" instead of just puzzle one)

one person looked at the situation with whistler saying "i named my newly adopted child after the one that just died" and just went 🤨

people just being in pure shock as grosky survived sharks and surviving the boat exploding

also they were also calling grosky a gigachad

"man, these kids should be having trauma from seeing the boat explode. they didn't see the submarines, they probably think people died."

(i didn't want to say they've been through worse)

"btw, luke can speak to animals. this literally only comes up here when he tries to speak to the wolves and the wolves don't listen to him" "i'm fucking sorry, he can speak to animals???"

i went "watch this shit" as layton preceded to build the flying machine, because wtf layton

"wow his hat is glued on"

i didn't really give much context to descole, and we couldn't hear his voice, so nobody really says much about him for the rest of the movie and i didn't want to reveal any other prequel trilogy spoilers :(

when grosky was found, him being called a gigachad intensified

and then laughter as grosky lost his underwear

no one guessed what was going on with nina when layton confronted her about being melina

one person said emmy reminded him of that one guy from curious george??? anyways, the child called her the hulk after seeing her destroy several of descole's henchmen

"oh no! luke has the memory machine on him! wait huh?"

me going "here it comes, here it comes-" as layton prepared to the point

"oh, this guy has kidnapped several young girls to do this!?"

"why did no one stop descole!??"

"man, these wolves are so thin, they could snap them in half"

"gundam!?" at the giant robot

i meant to talk about it during the watch session and forgot, but the fact that descole is controlling the robot using the detragon??? my man built a organ that sounds like an orchestra, can store memories of a person, and controls a full on mecha???

i showed one person this one layton poll and he guessed "he has several kids"

i told him which one was true and he was like "oh i kinda expected that one to be true considering the others", afksjd;clksmklc

i also asked which one is most surprising to him as being true afterwards, and he said "layton didnt actually give a shit about puzzles until he saw his friend die", which is fair

"man, janice has crazy grip strength"

"descole pulled that sword out of his pants... wait-"

me: "Sword fight time, lets go!!!"

two people said the sword fight between layton and descole was extremely well animated (true)

"why is layton playing the songs??? isn't that accomplishing descole's goal??? and why isn't descole stabbing him???"

*descole yeets a sword at him* "oh, now descole tries to continue the fight"

"c'mon, layton grab the sword!" *doesn't grab the sword in time*

not a single person says anything about descole falling off and him being not apprehended or found after the fact :'(

*detragigant falling into the sea* "pollution!"

"janice is gonna wake up and be so confused" "she was communicating with melina, they literally just showed that-"

one person ended up saying to the kid, who was saying a lot of random stuff during the movie, "shut up, i am actually invested", which lks;vmknzopdinpa??? i just gave extremely generalized descriptions of layton, luke, janice, and emmy, so the movie did the rest

i specifically made sure to make them watch the credits to show grosky finding his underwear in the credit stills, which was so worth it for their reaction

they did also say that all the other people in the prison would be terrified of having whistler in the same cell as them

anyways, i recommend watching this movie with sound on, but also two people actively were watching the movie despite knowing only the basic information i gave to them on the characters and nothing on the video game series despite that. so yeah, movie good.

I caught the classic TikTok trending audio sickness.... Anyways this is Crim, from Shark's Tooth SMP (which is open btw :3) and the song is Digital Silence

[ 01:39 ]

"come to bed, love." you whispered, burying your face against the crook of your fiancé's neck as your arms were wrapped around him from behind.

hongjoong, who was seated in his own mini studio in your shared home, tilted his head up to brush his lips against your temples, giggling lightly underneath his breath from the stray stands of your soft hair tickling his face. his long digits halted from their seemingly never ending typings on the keyboard of his laptop, only then reaching up to cup your cheek into the palm of his hand. with a gentle tug just enough to pull you in a little closer to the male, his warm pair of lips lightly pressed against your forehead.

"i'll come in soon, my treasure. give me a few more minutes to finish this up then you can have me all you want, i promise." hongjoong reassured, causing you to frown ever so little.

"no, you are coming to bed right now." straightening up, you reached out to lace your fingers with his own, hands fitting perfectly, and tugged onto hongjoong's hand afterwards as if to emphasise your words.

you could see the hesitation in his features from the way he glanced at his laptop along with his notes strewn almost everywhere on his desk. as if to make him focus his attention on you rather than his work, you softly mumbled his name.

"my love, you have been working hard the past week now. as much as i love seeing you all determined whenever you are filled with passion, a rest or two won't hurt you." you reasoned, cupping his cheek in your dainty hand with your eyes staring into his own in a silent plea.

hongjoong was quiet for a few seconds, as if he considering the words you had just said before his expression softens up, squeezing the hand that was holding his gently. quick saving his work, the male turned off his laptop and gathered the papers all over his desk to neatly stack them on top of his notebook. your lips couldn't hide the growing smile of triumph, happy that he finally listened and gave in to you.

as soon as the two of you had slid underneath the thick blankets of your shared bed, both of you laid on your sides while staring at each other in silence. it wasn't an awkward silence nor was it uncomfortable, merely, a thing that the both of you had taken as a form of habit. just sitting in a comfortable silence as your eyes admired each other's face, you tracing the length of the bridge of hongjoong's nose, and him staying still as adoration would be filled in his eyes.

wrapping his digits around your wrist, your lover turned his head ever so slightly, just enough to press fleeting kisses on the palm of your hand that had you giggling softly underneath your breath from the ticklish feeling. the lips on your palm slowly trailed up to your wrist, then to your arm, trailing higher and higher until hongjoong finally reached the junction between your neck and shoulder. it all seemed like a blur as he was now above you, gazing into your eyes as he stroked your hair.

he then leaned in and carefully pressed his lips on your forehead, moving down to your nose, kissing each of your cheeks, and finally, a kiss on your lips. this time, it remained a little longer than the previous kisses. your hearts are beating like an unreleased song that only the two of you could hear, lips moving moving in a slow dance as soft whispers of affirmation were being exchanged against each other's lips.

it would be a lie to say that you didn't miss the time for yourselves, just laying in bed to be in each other's arms, and talk about anything that would cross your minds. whenever hongjoong and his group would make a comeback sooner or later while you are busy with your own work, it would be especially difficult to find the time for each other. but when you do, the both of you would make the most out of it, making the brief opportunity memorable. whether it would be going out on a date or the both of you spending your time in your pajamas and laze around in bed, you wouldn't have it in any other way.

as long as you have each other, your love will keep growing with no signs of stopping any time soon, or even later in the future.

>[btw they don’t only serve pastry so if u r hungry after practice, you can eat there.]

>[k bye see ya]

You were up hours before you received a message from Iwaizumi. A simple “Good Morning.” blinking at you from the corner of your eye. Sending a short reply, you went back to your book. The house completely silent, save for your creaking footsteps; your parents have already left, typical as always.

It was odd for you to be up before your alarm. You brush the possibilities off, trying not think too much about it. The air feels nice and the chirping of birds isn’t exactly distracting, I might as well do some reading. That is how you decided to begin your day, pushing all your thoughts aside and entering a brand new world.

The heavy silence starting to weight on you after a while, you change your clothes, send these texts to Iwaizumi and head out.

Finding a good spot to sit by the window side, in case Iwaizumi cannot find the place, you order a drink as you pick your book up where you left off. You must’ve dozed off because you don’t realize him until he sits down.

“Hey.”

“Oh, hi. Glad you could make it.” It’s weird to see him without the school uniform now. The tshirt looks like he changed into it after practice. The jacket hanging from his seat and the bag by his side, both carrying the trademark colors for Aoba Johsai sports clubs indicating your assumption further. His face seems redder than usual, he must’ve left a short while ago.

You stare at one another for a moment. “So, how was practice?”

“As usual. We tried switching positions and had some 2-against-2 matches a little.”

“Ah, that… sounds good? I think. No, maybe a bit intense too? I’m not sure.” Shaking your head as you speak, you can hear him chuckle, probably at you.

“How about your morning?”

“As usual.”

“So you do wake up before noon on weekends, huh.” You can’t help but smile at that.

“Except for that part, then.” You look up to find him smiling at you warmly. This only makes your smile bigger.

One of the staff approaches your table and drops a single menu between the two of you. When will cafes stop assuming two people of the opposite sex as a couple and bring only one menu?..

Iwaizumi makes a gesture, signaling you to take a look and choose first.

“You go ahead, I have some inside information on their products.” You say with a smile as if you really are sharing a top secret. What’s up with the never ending smiles today? It couldn’t possibly be because of meeting with him, right? No way. And yet, the smiles appear before your face all natural, feeling familiar; so you let it keep happening. Change once in a while never killed anybody.

Eyes wandering around, examining each furniture, each plant, the expressions people wear; trying to distinct the source of each smell, guessing what it is, you wait for Iwaizumi to choose. The air is calm, no one is too loud and you can hear relaxing songs playing through the speakers. I hope the harmony of this place isn’t disturbed during the rush hours, you can’t help but think.

Getting tired of the pastel ambiance after a while, you divert your gaze back to Iwaizumi. Only to see a frustrated face staring at the menu he’s holding. He almost looks like it insulted him or better yet, attacked him. Your hand reaches to it before you can realize. You lower the menu a little.

“Need help?” He almost looks embarrassed to nod does it any way.

“Yeah, I’m torn between Americano and filter coffee… But what exactly is the difference between the two?” The excitement inside you hard to conceal, your hands jump into the air, digits spread wide.

“Oh, oh! I know this!” The look Iwaizumi gives you makes you stop. He seems… at ease. He has one of these small smiles you’ve witnessed before. There’s also a hint of something in his eyes, a gleam is there sure and a little bit of playfulness, but also something else you can’t put your finger on. Whatever it is, it suits him and you’d like to see him like this more often. You shake your head at your last thought.

“No, don’t give me that look. I only know about types of coffee because one of my friends is a caffeine addict.” And so you start to talk about different types of coffee, milk and espresso ratios, all in detail.

Five minutes into speedtalking about coffee and you give up at the look of defeat you are met with. “Just order Americano, you seem the type any way.”

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?” You ignore the question.

A minute of waiting and awkward stare passes, then another minute of ordering is added to the pile. Iwaizumi, following your advice and ordering Americano, you asking for chai latte and the ‘cake of the day’. You two fall back into silence.

No conversation starters coming into mind, your eyes keep wandering around. Stealing glances at him once in a while, only for the both of you to make eye contact and immediately diverting your gazes, the unsettling silence starts to take its toll.

“I… I need to use the restroom.” You dash out before he can say anything, hoping the door you saw earlier does lead to the restroom. Splashing water to your face to calm your nerves, why would my nerves even be not calm in the first place??, you slowly head out and pray to whatever force out there that your orders have arrived.

You’re either lucky or you’ve used up your daily dose of luck because your prayers seem to be answered. The steam coming from your beverages is numbing and the cake looks heavenly to you. Light cream between the layers and on top, surrounded with fresh fruits and some jam spilled over the plate to make a twirling shape for a good presentation…

There are two sets of cutlery.

Because bringing a single menu was not enough and they just had to bring two sets of cutlery, still assuming you’re a couple. Not to worry, it’s not worth losing your cool over. You take a deep breath and sit as you breathe down, a not so genuine smile plastered on your face.

“So, how is the coffee?”

“Good. I suppose you were right about ‘my type’” he does air quotes as he speaks. Another smile breaks free of your mask.

“If it’s any consolation, I usually prefer coffee without sweeteners, so it is a little my type too.” A knowing nod at that.

“And the cake?..”

“Well, it looks good. You can try if you want, they did bring another fork anyway.” He doesn’t too eager at that. Cutting a part of the cake and putting it to one side of the plate, you shrug and start eating.

An easy flow of conversation comes after.

It starts with something that catches your eye in the street, starting to look through the window and creating fun little scenarios, the air around you gets warmer.

Excitingly pointing at a cat passing by, Iwaizumi learns how fond of cats you are, even so that you have one at home.

Inspecting the trees nearby and trying to guess what species, you find out he has an eye for it. He knows most of the trees and flowers out there.

He asks you your favorite genre to play on piano and in return you ask him his preferred sports drink. It goes like this. Beverages already drunk, cake long eaten, you two get lost in small things and what-nots.

The sun at the top, shining through and drowning the world under its golden light, everything seems to be at peace. Not a single customer around talking too loud, or maybe they do but you’re too out of it to notice… The temperature just right, your thoughts at bay, all harmless. Almost as if it’s a regular weekend day-out, the way it feels so familiar.

Feeling relaxed and loosened up, ready to doze off to sleep at any given moment, you slowly find yourself getting lost in pale green eyes, and vice versa.

Whatever unseen force that was holding the entire place, including you, in a calm trance, falls apart at the sudden sound of an unwelcome beep.

Both of you reaching out to your phones, you see a notification alert

Staring at your screen for a while, a sincere smile blooms on your face, giddy with excitement and happy, you feel unstoppable at that very moment.

“Good news I hope. Care to share?” Iwaizumi’s words reach your ears a few seconds too late. Still holding your phone with both hands grinning like an idiot now, you shake your head a little.

“You need to reach level 5 of friendship with me to access this story, sorry.” You can see him laughing lightly at the back of his hand.

“What’s so funny?”

“Oh nothing. It’s just… I expected at least a level 10.” It’s your turn to laugh now, and so it seems.

“You’ve listened to me playing the piano. That gives you a 5 level headstart already.”

“You’re really that secretive about that?” All that joy from a moment ago has died down and replaced with confusion. You avoid his eyes and focus on a spot near him again, just like the first time.

“Secretive is not the best choice of words. More like… insecure? I guess, I’m not sure.”

“Well, that’s just dumb.”

“I- What? Excuse me?!”

“I’ve said what I said. You already play well and only a fool wouldn’t notice the way you give your all as you play. There is no logical reason for you to be insecure about that.”

“Yes but- you see…” Words die out at your throat, hand hanging in the air.

Another thing you learn about Iwaizumi Hajime right then and there. He is honest and as harsh as truth can be.

You wonder if he is like that all the time, if he is as open when it comes to himself. Or does he hide behind a façade like the rest of the world.

Noticing how tense you are getting, Iwaizumi ends your misery at last, asking about the book you were reading and you two fall back into another quiet chatter of everything and nothing until you  call it a day.

❧ just keep driving.

date(s): august 2021 mentions of: n/a word count: 657 words warnings: death mention (though in a metaphorical sense, never pertaining actual people), sexualisation details: a year since calypso’s last comeback and what yena feels is... overwhelming dissapointment. it makes her worry for whatever dissapointments lie ahead for calypso, if there is anything ahead of them at all to begin with disclaimer: i’m not trying to dicate calypso’s trajectory in any way, we ride might have been almost a disbandment song for brave girls but i’m not trying to project that on calypso. please keep in mind that this is yena’s personal perspective on the state of her group rather than the reality of things. don’t take any of this as the objective truth. (which, btw, you should never do with my writing anyway)

yena didn’t expect their first comeback in a year to be so… disappointing.

it wasn’t the longest calypso had ever gone without a comeback, the release of rollin’ had been followed by a gap of a year and a half and the anticipation to get back on stage had been just as high as it had been now, if not higher. 

but back then, actually being back on stage hadn’t felt like the slap to the face it felt like this time.

maybe it was because there had gone significantly more effort into their comeback back then, prima donna had been a full album and the music video for gun while not outrageously fancy, had at least been up to par, nothing that looked excessively cheap.

we ride, while a good song, was just that, one song. a digital single with a music video that had clearly cost dimensions no more than spare change.

the whole thing looked cheap, felt cheap, and the song would never be good enough to make up for that, especially not in the eyes of the general public. she was torn really, between feeling humiliated by how obviously cheap it all was or by being frustrated that no one hardly seemed to realize they had made a comeback anyway. because it truly did feel that way, like maybe calypso was just invisible, or maybe the company had uploaded the comeback on private or something by mistake, the silence surrounding their comeback absolutely deafening.

perhaps that was all in yena’s head, perhaps this time wasn’t all that much worse than their last handful of comebacks had been but it didn’t feel that way. it was a bit like ripples of water. usually, calypso comebacks were like a pebble into a pond, it’s impact minimal but the visual evidence was there, the gentle rippling of water fading outwards, not much but a little splash after all.

this comeback felt like they might as well have tossed a grain of sand in the pond. 

and it left yena wondering where exactly they had gone wrong this time

had it been too long since their last comeback, had that year of nothing been the slow, drawn out death of whatever public interest they did hold as a group? or had it been the lack of funding that had gone into their comeback? the lack of marketing and budget being the final nail to the coffin?

or was it just undeniable that people just really didn’t care about calypso if they didn’t pander to their sexy, alluring fantasies?

that was a whole different can of worms all-together, one that, for yena’s sanity (which as much as she liked to pretend otherwise, already wasn’t the strongest). the conclusion was the same every time anyway, that there was nothing to be done about it, nothing within their control that could stop their careers from slowly bleeding out.

and god did all of calypso try their best to prevent that, from going into acting, to modeling side gigs, to writing and releasing solo music, all they did was try to attract some attention to the group but for years, their very earnest efforts had failed. yena didn’t know how long they could keep that up.

it was discouraging to say the least, and it made it hard to step out on stage everytime. dimensions had never said at much, had not threatened their disbandment if things didn’t start looking up but yena could still feel it loom over her head, the potential end of calypso.

if this would end up being their last song, could people not have the decency to acknowledge it?

what was the difference between silently disbanding and making irrelevant comebacks like this at the end of the day? either way, no one would really notice if calypso just ceased to exist. 

if they didn’t notice when they were there, who would notice if they were gone.
