Enomoto Takeshi

(~2580 WC)

One year ago now your parents passed away. Leaving you as the guardian and caretaker to your younger sister - who was only 5 at the time. As a young girl and all throughout your childhood you got ample love and affection - all of it - but your sister only has you to provide that to her,. You do your best despite the immense grief you feel, but at times you worry that your sister is getting a subpar experience compared to you. Other than your little sister, you don’t really give or accept physical affection from anyone.

That is until Enomoto Takeshi walks into your life.

It's a sunny day in the Furin neighborhood and your sister is nowhere to be found. Frantically you search high and low around the buildings and down darkened alleys until you turn a corner and walk right into a Furin high schooler with slicked back black hair. Immediately he grabs you by the arms to keep you from falling backwards and you tense under his touch. After righting you he swiftly releases you from his hold and peers down at your panicked expression.

“Hey, my name is Enomoto Takeshi - I go to Furin High. You seem really worried about something - is there anything I can do to help?” Asking in a gentle and concerned tone as his brow creases, but a kind smile pulls at his lips. A small sob escapes your throat as you nod vehemently, and he leans a little closer to hear you.

In one breath you rush to tell him about your sister and that she’s missing. Before you can give her description he asks if you need to let your parents know causing you to take a step back in shock - as if you had been struck.

“I’m sorry - I didn’t mean,” he says gently. Seeing that he touched a nerve, he holds a hand out in front of him as if to convey that he means you no harm.

“No, no - you’re good. They’re just, um… dead.” The word drops from your lips like a stone and plunks into the dirt at your feet. Still, you had no idea how to work that detail into conversation and it was apparent by the shock on Enomoto’s face.

“I’m so sorry-” he starts to apologize profusely, in a genuinely remorseful tone. Shaking your head quickly with a wave of your hand to cut him off.

“It’s okay,” you say quickly with a sad smile. “I’m her guardian. I-I just need to find her, please.” Whispering softly as you look up at him with pleadingly teary eyes. Enomoto nods vigorously and asks for her description - once he has it he sends a few texts and makes a phone call before turning back to you.

“Let’s go,” he says with a nod as he starts to lead you in the direction you were heading. Together the two of you begin searching everywhere, and unbeknownst to you, an entire army was searching through the neighborhood for her as well.

Apparently, Enomoto made one call to Kaji and then sent a text to Sakura and the Jokuku Second Grade Captain who was on patrol today. With that, the entire Jokuku team and the entire first and second grade classes of the Tamon team were out looking for her. As you see more and more guys in uniforms like Enomoto’s - waving at the two of you and calling reassurances that they’ll find your sister - you turn to your companion and genuinely thank him for getting so many people to help. Enomoto bashfully waves off your thanks and says, "It's what we're here for."

As it turns out, your sister got lost and wandered into Shishitoren turf and was spotted being escorted back by Choji and Togame personally. Choji keeps her laughing the whole way back as she holds onto both his and Togame’s pointer fingers. Enomoto stays with you and helps you look until he gets word that she’s safe and where she is, and then escorts you over to Main street to meet up with her.

As she walks up, you’re holding back tears just from seeing her safe and unharmed. Ever since your parents died you’ve been terrified of her getting lost or hurt, so once you can see she’s okay you turn and thank everyone profusely for their help. They all wave you off with wide smiles and tell you to come find Furin or Shishitoren members if you ever need help with anything again.

Enomoto offers to walk both of you home - you agree as you shoot him a grateful smile and take your sister's hand. Immediately she holds a tiny hand up to Enomoto - who pauses for a moment - but before you can tell him he doesn’t have to he reaches down and gently takes her hand in between his fingers and thumb. 

On the way home he makes conversation with your sister and asks her about her likes and dislikes. Absolutely delighted by how he and your sister are interacting, you can’t help the amused smile twisting your lips as Enomoto converses with your sister like an old friend.

Once at the door, you thank him again and bid him goodbye, but before he leaves he offers you his number. A little surprised, but you swiftly accept with a wide grin as you thank him once again for all his help today. After he left your sister makes sure to tell you that she really likes him and hopes the two of you would become friends. Though you don’t voice it to her, a small part of you wanted to be friends with him too.

Luckily, the two of you saw a lot more of each other around Furin after that. Every time you did Enomoto would make conversation with your sister and ask how she’s doing - she thought he was the coolest guy and told him she really likes how he talks. And truthfully, you did too. After talking to him day in and day out - his familiar face, the roll of his R’s, his comforting presence - you found that you really like him too.

Enomoto starts walking with you and your sister outside of his patrol pretty often, and eventually asks if you want to actually plan a hang out. When you tell him that it would be difficult since you watch your sister basically 24/7, he asks if it would be okay if the three of you hung out together. Completely thrown by his offer at first, until you shake off your disbelief and gratefuly agree.

The Hang Out ends up being a trip to the local children's science museum that’s closer to the city. The three of you ride the train together - Enomoto having a full conversation with your sister like normal so you can enjoy the views out the window for a bit.

At the museum, Enomoto shows your sister some of his favorite sections - you adore watching how good he is with her, and he really seemed to enjoy her company too. Then he takes her to the play area and helps her meet some other kids to play with before coming to sit with you on the bench. You thank him for everything he’s done today and tell him that he’s really, really good with kids. He just smiles and tells you that it’s easy since your sister is such a great kid. The two of you talk about a ton of things while your sister plays - Enomoto remaining conscious and helping you watch her as well - and then the conversation turns to your parents, sister and your situation.

You end up telling him everything. Even divulging some of your fears about being responsible for someone else, and how you just really want to give her a fair shot. Enomoto listens intently, and when you’re finished he tells you that he’s incredibly impressed by you. Even going as far to say that you’re approaching the entire situation with a much more level head than most parents he’s met. A little overwhelmed by his kindness as tears prick your eyes, but you let him know that his words mean the world to you.

After a long moment Enomoto pipes up again and says with an earnest expression, “I know I just talked about how well you’rrre doing, but if you everrr need help, someone to lean on, orrr just to talk to - I’m rrright herrre.” 

Again, you’re taken aback, but immensely grateful as you tentatively accept his offer. After that day, you do start to lean on Enomoto for things. Like when you wanted to finally complete a night school program that you’ve been putting off doing to help you find a better job - Enomoto stepped right up and offered to watch your sister during your in person classes (2 days a week).

At first you weren’t sure about it, but he insisted. Between him and the help of several people around Furin - Kaji and Kusumi for one, Hiragi who found out from them who told Umemiya. Who was overjoyed to help, and even asked Tsubaki and Kotoha if they would be willing to pitch in as well - of course they agreed. Nirei heard about it from Kotoha at Pothos one morning, and was quick to offer his help too, which enlisted Suo, Sakura and the rest of Class One…

Long story short - your sister is wealthy in babysitters now.

Frequently, she comes home with stories about all the different people she gets to spend time with and how cool they are. Of course, after you finished your program and got a job in bookkeeping, you made one of your mom's old cookie recipes with your sister's help and gave them out as a thank you.

It wasn’t too long before you and your sister became regular faces to Bofurin - everyone waves and greets you, even the members you don’t know super well - which only makes you feel safer knowing so many eyes are on your sister. After this, Enomoto starts occasionally having dinner with the two of you and over time he gets up the courage to confess his feelings for you. 

At first you were stunned, which made him second guess himself, but you were quick to quell his worry by confessing too. Even though you just told him your feelings, he asks why you seem apprehensive. A little ashamed, you admit that he’s already given you so much and that you feel guilty taking more. A long moment passes and then Enomoto breaks the silence with his earnest voice.

”Take it all.” He says bluntly, which makes you gawk openly at him. “Whateverrr I have - it’s yourrrs, I wanna give you everrrything I’ve got,” he assures you with a firm nod.

Again you’re stunned, but you slowly nod in disbelief and murmur, “O-okay.” 

After that the two of you are official, but Enomoto doesn’t push physical affection with you beyond when he’s holding your sister and hands her over to you. He’s just so grateful that you opened up your heart and home to him, so he didn’t want to jeopardize the place he’s earned in your life.

Eventually, one night - when Tsubaki and Kotoha offered (begged) to watch your sister and give her a “spa” night, to which you gratefully agreed - you finally moved to Enomoto deliberately.

The two of you are sitting on the couch in your living room watching some silly movie - about a foot of space between the two of you. Ever so slowly, you reach out and gently take hold of Enomoto’s hand and he just peers at you curiously out of the corner of his eye. 

Quietly, you explain that you want to touch him, but you’re also afraid. You go out of your way to give that love to your sister because you received it from your parents, but she won’t ever get that chance so you have to make up for it.

But you don’t seek that kind of love, because you already got it - so much of it - from two people who died. Who left you - even if they didn’t want to. It terrifies you to love someone else like that when they could leave you too, or worse die. You’re fearful that you can’t handle missing another person like that again.

Or if your relationship doesn’t work out, your sister might feel abandoned by him and you were honestly barely dealing with your own abandonment issues as is. You just couldn’t shoulder any more.

Once you sadly trail off - gaze focused on the fraying arm of the couch - Enomoto reaches forward and scoops you into his lap, holding you tight against his chest.

“Just because you’re afraid doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve this,” whispering into your hair as he squeezes you tighter to make his point. As the pressure mounts around you, a warbling sob bubbles its way out of your throat. He lets you cry and keeps speaking. “And you know that you need it, because you go out of your way to give it to your sister because you know she needs it. Now, I know I can’t make that fear go away, but I can love you through it if you’ll let me,” he whispers earnestly while pressing a kiss to your tear stained cheek. Then he gently takes your chin in his hand and makes you look at him. “And as far as your sister goes - I love that little girl so much. It won’t matter if we end up breaking up in the future, because she’s my friend now. I never have and I never will abandon my friends.” Speaking firmly as he pins you with a solemn look, and you absolutely crumble sobbing into his chest. Enomoto holds you for the rest of the night, and puts you to bed after you’ve fallen asleep in his arms.

After this, you lean into him so much more. Going out of your way to hold his hand as the two of you stroll through Furin. Hugging him the moment he comes in your home with matching smiles tugging at both of your lips. Kissing him on the cheek before you bid him goodbye - the first time you did this, he turned so red that he was still a light shade of pink when you saw him later that day.

Now Enomoto will go out of his way to touch you too. Eagerly grinning at you whenever you take his hand, and holding yours back tightly. Lovingly tucking your hair behind your ear before kissing you on the cheek or forehead, which always leaves you blushing madly with a bright smile on your face.

The two of you are more prone to PDA as far as the above things go as well as the occasional peck in public. At first you were nervous about it, but the first time your sister saw you kiss Enomoto she released this joyous squeal and clapped excitedly at the display. She absolutely adores Enomoto and the relationship you two have, and that's when you realize your sister seeing you and Enomoto be affectionate to each other is actually really good for her.

In no time the two of you become Furin’s favorite couple. Especially after you and Enomoto were seen holding your sister’s hands while walking down the street. Sometimes swinging her between the two of you as she babbled to you both about starting school and how excited she was.

Now, years after the fact, your favorite thing Enomoto does is when you’re speaking to your children and he’ll come up behind you and wrap his arms around you before pressing a kiss to your cheek. It always makes you and your kids devolve into a fit of giggles as you lean back into his chest. He and your sister are still close - he’s extremely protective of her, especially after she started dating - but now he calls her his sister (in law) as well as his friend.

Often when she comes to visit from university, she’ll give you a big hug before beelining to Enomoto. A lot of her home time is spent telling him about her classes and friends while helping him with her nieces and nephews. She tells you too, but you and your sister text every day so you’re always up to date, and she only gets to really talk to Enomoto when she comes home.

Kusumi Yuto

(~1142 wc)

Kusumi has been your friend since childhood, so he is very aware of your relationship with physical touch or lack thereof. The two of you became romantically involved at the end of middle school. Kusumi had a crush on you for the longest time, and confessed to you on the last day of school.

You were completely thrown, because you’ve been in love with your childhood friend for as long as you could remember - so you confessed immediately after him. Using the opportunity, he asked you to be his girlfriend right there, and you gleefully agreed.

Both of you were overjoyed, but you were terrified that he would try to initiate physical affection after that. But he never did, even now, 2 years into your relationship and he’s never touched you romantically - nor have you touched him.

One day during literature lessons, when you were learning Romeo and Juliet, is how you found out they shared a kiss of death - so young, so sad, and such a short lived tryst. And then it dawned on you that you and Kusumi have never kissed… the two of you haven’t even held hands. The thought plagues your mind for a week and a half, which Kusumi of course noticed but assumed you would tell him in your own time, and on this Friday - sitting on his bedroom floor next to him with your backs resting on the end of his bed - you finally do.

”Hey Kusumi?” Murmuring quietly to your shaggy haired boyfriend, and he hums in response. ”Why haven’t we ever held hands?” Posing the question timidly, and he tilts his head so he can look at you through the part in his hair.

”Because you seem uncomfortable by it,” he responded simply. Bewildered, you furrow your brow, and Kusumi sits up a bit more as he pushes his hair away from his eyes so he can see and talk to you more directly.

”So… you’re just okay with that?” Uttering softly, in disbelief. Guilt and fear douse your nerves as the muscles tense up in all through your body.

”Well, yeah… you’re my girlfriend, and I’ve known you forever, so I know how you feel about physical affection. It would be really shitty if I pressured you into doing anything when I’m fully aware of your discomfort,” he explained calmly. As if this was some math problem he was helping you work out. Releasing a slightly frustrated sigh through your nose - the same one from your childhood days that makes Kusumi’s lips twitch into a smile.

”But… What if I’m never comfortable… Are you okay with that?” Muttering softly, voice steeped with apprehension - terrified that he’ll suddenly abandon you for this indiscretion.

”If that’s how you feel, then yes…” he reassured you with that same simple tone, and you blink at him dubiously as tears start to well up in your eyes.

”I don’t think that’s fair to you though…” warbling out quietly as you curled your fists into the fabric of your shirt. “Why shouldn’t you receive physical affection just because of me?” You asked in a cracked voice, the first tear dripping onto your knee and soaking into your pants.

”But I don’t want to touch anyone else, and if I have to choose between feeling your touch or experiencing you, then I’ll choose you every time. Easy.” He spoke without missing a beat, and you looked up at him as more tears began spilling down your cheeks - an unspoken question in your eyes. “But, if you think that you’re uncomfortable because it’s just not something you’ve had before, then I’ll stay right here until you do feel comfortable.” He assured you gently while answering your question at the same time. With slightly parted lips, you mutely nod at him with rounded eyes like the full moon.

”I-I think it’s the second one,” you whispered gently, ashamed, but he just nods slowly with no judgment in his eyes. 

”Then let me know when you feel ready, and if you need my help figuring out how to become comfortable with it, then I can do that.” He said gently, and it’s like your prayers have been answered - all you ever wanted was someone to show you how.

”Mhm, I want your help Kusumi - I’m ready… please,” pleading softly as you scooted slightly closer to him. Kusumi’s breath hitched in his throat, not expecting you to want his help now, but he doesn’t hesitate to reach forward and pull you into his lap.

Situating you so you’re sitting in between his legs with your back flush to his chest and his arms wrapped lightly around you - his hands holding your hands gently in your lap. Leaning forward, he rested his chin on the top of your head silently. 

”How’s this?” He asked cautiously, and you inhale deeply and then exhale slowly, relaxing more into his arms - the tension slowly seeped out of your muscles.

”Go-good…” breathing out slowly, and Kusumi gently tightened his arms around you. “Mmm, that feels good.” you whispered softly as you leaned back into his chest more and curled your body up into him. Kusumi let out a shaky breath and just relished in being able to hold you for the first time since you two were kids. 

The only other time you’ve willingly sought out the physical comfort of another was when your parents' marriage was spiraling towards divorce and they were fighting all the time. Unable to stand it any longer, you climbed over the fence into Kusumi’s backyard where you hid. When he came outside to water the plants and saw you, he asked if you were okay. Wordlessly, you started bawling and ran straight into his arms. Little Kusumi was stunned - not having the chance to meet you until just then - but still, he hugged you tightly while you sobbed and sniffled into his graphic shark t-shirt. He made it his mission to be your friend after that, and once he officially was - Kusumi stayed faithfully by your side through everything. Years he waited for the day that you felt you could lean on him again. 

The two of you stayed like that on his bedroom floor for hours until you drifted off to sleep. Eventually, he gingerly scooped you up and tucked you into his bed before he laid down next to you over the covers with one arm draped around you in your sleep. You awoke to your face buried in his chest with your arms twined around his torso with his arms wrapped snugly around you.

After this you and Kusumi hold hands all of the time - wherever you go - and sometimes he’ll even kiss your cheek or forehead in public. In private, your time is spent with lengthy cuddle and tender makeout sessions. From outside the relationship, it would be hard to believe that there was a drastic change, but - to Kusumi - the fact that you lean into him without tensing up at all is like night and day.

Kaji Ren

(~2938 wc)

The day you met your snowy haired boyfriend was random and by chance. You were scavenging for your favorite sucker at the one Konbini you’ve been frequenting since moving into town. Finally - at long last - you had found them!

But there was only one bag left, so you rushed to grab it, completely missing the guy reaching for them at the same time. Neither of you saw the other as your fingertips touched over the bag. Immediately, both of you had pulled back and stared at each other in shock. He looked rather upset about you taking the last bag, but didn’t say a word as he turned and walked away - leaving you in the aisle with the bag still on the shelf.

After you recovered from the shock, you grabbed the bag and rushed to the register to pay. Once you handed the money over you didn’t even wait for the change - apologizing profusely - as you sprinted out of the store. Stopping out front, you whipped your head back and forth until you see him - the severe looking teen with his hands shoved in his pockets, headphones on, and shoulders slumped forward as he marched away. 

“Hey, wait up!” Calling to him as you chased after him, but he didn’t turn - like he didn’t hear you at all. But then you fully face palmed yourself as you remembered the headphones on his head. So, you sprinted after him at full speed to close the distance before he rounded a corner, and since he couldn’t hear you - you reached out and grabbed his sleeve. 

Whirling around, body completely tense, he glared down at you like you were a threat, so you flinch and shrink away. For a moment he just stared at you - his glare changing from anger to confusion - until you sheepishly held up the bag of Chupa Chups in front of you. Rocking it back and forth in your hands you nervously swallowed before trying to speak.

“Um, sorry - I took the last bag - do you want to split it?” Mouthing the words to him since your voice completely failed you, but thank God he was used to reading lips. Slowly, with brows still furrowed, he reached up and removed his headphones - eyes darting between the bag and your face.

“You wanna share them with me?” He asked, completely incredulous of the mere notion, but then you nod eagerly at him. Taking a step back he slowly shook his head at you in disbelief. “Why?” This time he asked in an accusing tone.

“U-um, because… These are my favorite and it’s taken me like… two months to find them, so if they’re your favorite too then I know how it feels when they’re out of stock…” explaining quietly as you slowly started to open the bag. He just gawked at you in absolute bewilderment as you take out about half a bag’s worth of suckers and thrust them into his hands. 

“Thank you - for letting me take the last bag by the way,” thanking him genuinely as you tossed him a small, grateful smile. “I just moved here, and it’s been really stressful - it’s probably not good for me, but they’ve been a nice stress reliever.” You added, and finally the guy’s severe expression smoothed out to one of understanding.

“No problem…” he spoke quietly, “they are for me too,” he added with a grateful nod towards the suckers piled in his hands. “I’m Ren Kaji. What’s your name?” He asked - genuinely curious.

“Y/N L/N! It’s nice to meet you,” chirping as you beamed up at him. Kaji basically had to squint away from your bright eyes and smile, but he enjoyed it all the same. After that, the two of you would often run into each other at the Konbini, and whenever they were down to their last bag of Chupa Chups the two of you would split the bag.

The budding friendship continued like this for months, until one day the Konbini was out of the Chupa Chups for 4 weeks due to shipping issues. Kaji was noticeably more on edge than usual because of it. Your theory was only supported more when you started seeing other Furin members in the Konbini asking about the suckers too. Finally after 4 weeks, much of your customer loyalty had waned, so you ventured out to other areas around the city until you struck the motherload! 

A small, run down Konbini stood at the edge of the Red Light District, and in the back of the store were boxes and boxes filled to the brim with bags of your favorite Chupa Chups. Even better - everything was still in date!

Apparently, this is where the shipping issue had happened, but the shipper just charged this Konbini for them and sent another shipment to your regular Konbini - so everything here was extremely discounted.Maybe you went a little overboard, but you bought three boxes worth. It made sense to you - one box for you, one box for Kaji and one box to act as a ‘rainy day fund’ for the both of you.

The next day, you ventured into the Furin neighborhood for the first time with Kaji’s designated box of suckers in tow. The looks you received as some of the older shopkeepers shot you knowing glances before smiling and waving at you, to which you just smiled back and nodded at them. Completely oblivious to their knowing smirks and whispers about a certain white haired Furin member.

It didn’t take you long to find Kaji, especially since he was screaming at some thug at the top of his lungs while some guy with a shaggy bowl cut stood close by clutching his headphones. You approached as Kaji got to the end of his rant, dropping the man who crawled into a sprint, before he whirled around to find you standing right behind him.

The expression on your face was bright as ever and completely unbothered by the display you just saw. The shaggy haired guy as well as a few others in the same uniform stared at you as if you were insane - one with slicked back hair stepped forward to intervene before Kaji blew up on you. Especially since their Captain was staring at you with wide eyes and a deep furrow in his brow, but then you spoke.

“Shipping problem, but I fixed it,” speaking in a sing-songy voice with a bright grin as you held the box up to Kaji. Who finally tore his gaze away from your face to see a box overflowing with bags of his favorite suckers.

He just stood there frozen as he looked back at your face - expression unchanging. Tilting your head slightly, a small notch forms in your brow as you look down at the suckers and then back up to his face. “These are still your favorite, right?” You inquired, innocently unaware of the range of emotions Kaji was going through.

“Ye-yes,” he murmured quietly. “Why?” He demanded in an accusing tone immediately after, but you just giggled at his confusion.

“Because the Konbini has been out of them for four weeks, and I’ve been spending all of my free time searching for them because I’ve been going kind of crazy,” you laughed out sheepishly. “So, when I found a huge stock - super discounted by the way - I thought I’d grab some extra because you may not be having a great time either,” making a cautious guess as you held the box out for Kaji again. He blinked rapidly at you, but finally accepted the box and easily held it under one arm before he turned back to look at you with a perplexed expression. After a moment of silence you smiled awkwardly and clapped your hands together - breaking him from his stupor.

“Well, that’s all I really came here to do…” murmuring awkwardly as you turned to leave, but then you remembered the extra box.

“Oh, by the way,” pulling out your phone and swiped to your photos before showing him one of the three boxes - one labeled ‘rainy day fund’.

“I have an extra box in case we run out!” Trilling as you presented the treasure proudly, which only made Kaji sputter a little bit as an entire zoo stampede in his stomach. As you turned to leave, he quickly spoke, making you stop.

“Can I have your number?” Kaji asked urgently, and then his entire face flushed red - his companions’ eyes went wide as they exchanged worried glances. You stared at Kaji curiously for a moment before your face lit up. 

“Oh, duh, of course - for the ‘rainy day fund’!” You said cluelessly as you swiped over to “New Contact” and handed him your phone with a bright smile. Kaji gulped and then nodded before entering his information. Truthfully, you hoped he wanted more than just suckers from you, but you really didn’t expect him to like you like that, so this was good enough.

The friendship progressed like that, every so often meeting up to exchange a stock of suckers between each other (usually you to him since he goes through them so quickly). The whole time you were clueless to Kaji’s signals actually being signals: the shared playlists, him eventually walking you to school every day, to him asking you to hang out with him on the weekends.

Finally, when he asked you out on a date (without actually using that term) - surprised you with flowers, and took you to dinner before going on a romantic walk along the canal - and you still hadn’t picked up that he liked you, Kaji was beyond frustrated. When you said he was the sweetest friend you’ve ever had, he finally lost it.

“Y/N. Do you think I do this for my friends?” He asked incredulously as the two of you stopped on a bridge to look over the water, annoyance seeping into his tone. Turning to him in shock, you were surprised to see a vulnerable look in his eyes behind his angry expression.

“I’m not sure… I don’t see you hang out with a lot of girls,” you admitted softly. You’ve never dated anyone before, and you never had any ‘guy friends’ so, honestly, you had no idea if Kaji was just being nice this whole time. The second year grade captain sighed heavily at your response as his head dropped into his hands, his elbows resting on the railing.

“Exactly, Y/N.” He finally spoke after raising his face from his hands and giving you a tired look. “It’s not that I’m against being friends with a girl, but I’ve been trying to show you for months that I want to be more with you.” He confessed desperately, hoping and praying that you finally got it. But, you just stared at him in silence for an incredibly long time, until understanding dawned over your features like a slow sunrise.

“Ohhhh…” you whispered out so quietly. All Kaji’s tension and frustration dissipated into laughter in that moment as he watched you completely flounder as everything he’s done in the past few months and every time you were just clueless ran through your mind. Slowly, he nods as a blush creeps over your cheeks to the tips of your ears and you clap a hand over your mouth. “I didn’t know… I’m so sorry Kaji!” You gasped out from behind your hand.

“I realize that now,” he said simply with the most amused expression on his face. Still, you can’t recover from the embarrassment as you just shake your head and blush deeper under his gaze.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” He blurted out, shocking you out of your embarrassment, as he stared down at you intensely. You blinked up at him in surprise before nodding vehemently - your bright smile returning to your lips. After that the two of you were official, though for the most part your relationship didn’t change much from when you were just ‘friends’, especially when neither of you initiated physical contact with each other.

Now, almost a year into the relationship, the two of you are sitting on a bench at the park - it’s midday on a Saturday with a spring breeze fluttering past. He’s listening to music and you’re reading one of your books. For the past hour, you’ve been sneaking peeks at your boyfriend, which he has been kind enough not to mention.

Suddenly you feel confidence well in your chest as you reach out and gently take his free hand in yours. Immediately Kaji gives you a confused look, which you interpret as anger and drop his hand before pulling back and looking back down at your book without reading.

”Um, sorry! I didn’t mean to…” you say softly as your cheeks burn. Refusing to lift your gaze, you begin smoothing out the folded corner of your page - most of your books had them from being thrifted.

”You didn’t mean to… hold my hand?” Inquiring suspiciously as his eyebrows furrow at you. Looking at your boyfriend only makes you more nervous as anxiety convinces you that you crossed a line.

”Um, no… Well, yes. I did mean to, but I’m sorry if that wasn’t okay to do,” whispering softly, and averting your gaze to anywhere but him. A bluebird catches your eye so you focus up on that. Kaji just stares at you bewildered - he knew you were an anxious person, but sometimes when you apologized for things you didn’t need to he just felt guilty, like he did something wrong.

Suddenly, he pulls out two Chupa Chups and hands one to you, which you gingerly take. Unwrapping the sucker in unison, you both stick them in your mouths at the same time which makes you giggle as some of the tension dissipates. Kaji will never tell you - and you never pay enough attention to figure it out - but he always times it when he gives you a sucker so it’ll go exactly like this because you giggle every time and he loves the sound. After a long moment, you begin speaking again - just like he knew you would.

”I want to touch you Kaji,” you say bluntly which makes him jump and choke on his sucker as he shoots you a desperate look of ‘mercy please, Y/N’

“No, not like that… Well yes, maybe like that eventually?” Speaking slowly as to not risk Kaji going into cardiac arrest. “For right now, I just wanna be able to hold your hand sometimes… Maybe feel confident enough to kiss you one day?” Musing softly as your gaze returns to the bluebird. Kaji blinks slowly at you. Feel confident enough? What?

”What do you mean? You’re way more confident than I am with this stuff…” He says quietly, leaning closer to you subconciously to study the expression of your side profile.

”Well, yeah, but… I mean,” sighing softly before meeting his concerned cerulean eyes again. “It’s not like I got a ton of physical affection growing up, so it’s still really hard for me…” explaining slowly - deliberately - as you splay your fingers out in your lap to calm your nerves a bit. “I have to force myself through the discomfort of it, because it’s not natural to me… But I want to be physically affectionate with you, so I want to work on it for me and you…” trailing off quietly, suddenly self conscious that you aren’t making any sense.

Kaji blinks rapidly, stunned. Never did he consider his bubbly girlfriend who is always bouncing at his side and brightening his day had been pushing herself through something that he always thought was easy for her. Slowly, Kaji reaches out and awkwardly takes your hand in his, and just like him you jump and choke on your sucker a bit. Leaning back into the bench, Kaji turns his gaze forward before he speaks.

”I’m sorry…” he whispers out, and you don’t even know what to say, you're so stunned. “I never knew - I just thought it was natural for you. I didn’t really consider that you’ve been fighting through this the whole time, alone.” He murmurs softly, in a genuinely apologetic tone.

”It’s not like that…” Protesting quietly, but he just shakes his head as he looks at you with guilt ridden eyes causing you to pause and wait for him to speak again.

”It kind of is though…” he says gently and before you can protest further, he’s squeezing your hand to keep your attention.

“I’ll do better,” he promises genuinely. Slowly, you nod, because his expression is leaving no room for argument. The rest of the hangout is spent in silence, doing your separate activities, but still holding hands - albeit awkwardly, but sweetly too.

Kaji keeps a firm hold on your hand the whole way back to your house as well. The change in your relationship isn’t night and day, but there are some things that anyone who knows you or Kaji would notice. After that day, Kaji starts initiating more physical contact with you: he goes out of his way to hold your hand, and when you seem a little down or stressed he would give you a sucker (like normal) but now he pats your head afterwards. It's a little awkward at first, but you still blush and throw him a bashful smile every time. 

The biggest surprise to everyone, including you, are the forehead kisses. Kaji was awkward the first time he did it but he never let the awkwardness stop him - because, well, you never did. Now, he greets and bids you goodbye - anytime, anywhere - by pressing a chaste kiss to your forehead and smiling serenely at you afterwards. You're reduced to a blushing, stuttering mess every single time.

𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 - 𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓

The morning after the fight was a rollercoaster of emotions for Y/N. She woke up feeling cold, the covers kicked to the bottom of the bed, and no one lying next to her. By now, waking up next to Lando felt familiar and too comfortable for her liking. She had grown fond of having him pressed against her every morning, his arms draped around her waist and his nose buried in her neck. It felt weird to not have him next to her when she opened her eyes. And then she remembered why he wasn’t there.

She really wished she could go back to sleep and pretend the previous night hadn’t happened.

Y/N wrapped herself around the covers once again and groaned, feeling almost like a truck ran over her body the previous night. She could blame it on the only margarita she had the night before, but she knew she could only blame the fight she had with Lando. The memories of them confessing their feelings for each other was almost too painful. It was killing them; and maybe it was for the best to call off their “relationship”, if they could even call it that.

As most days in November in Brazil, it was bright and sunny outside, but Y/N was convinced it was for the best if she stayed in for the entire day. Maybe she could catch up on her watching list on Netflix, order junk food and cry her heart out while no one was watching. After all, she was only required to go outside tomorrow, when her PR team asked her to accompany Lando to the paddock during media day.

She managed to not cry just fine so far that morning, but the universe was making it really hard to keep it together. If the emotions weren’t enough, Y/N found out that day that she was nominated for an Emmy Award. It was all over social media, with everyone congratulating her and posting clips of her performance on her latest show. Her phone was blowing up with calls and texts, but she didn’t have the energy to celebrate it.

Suddenly, it all felt too lonely. Y/N had just acquired the biggest conquest of her career, one that she has dreamed of her entire life, and she had no one to celebrate it with. The person she wanted to celebrate with the most was nowhere to be seen. So she cried alone in that hotel room, because there was nothing more she could do. She should’ve been out there celebrating that conquest, but she was weeping for the loss of Lando Norris, of all people in the world.

He wasn’t having the best days himself. After she left, Lando couldn’t bring himself to fall asleep even if he wanted to. He could only think about Y/N leaving their room crying after saying she didn’t trust him; after telling it all went wrong because he could only think about himself. All the work he did to try getting to her heart gone to waste, only because he forgot to apologize. 

After a couple of hours after finally getting some sleep, Lando was woken up by knocks on his door. Max had come for him after he didn’t answer his phone for the entire morning. His best friend understood what happened almost immediately when he opened the door, his eyes blood shot from crying too much. Lando sighed before crying more, feeling completely powerless with the situation he was trapped in.

“I fucked up”, Lando admitted, completely defeated. “And fuck, I love her so much. But she’s gone”.

Max tried to cheer him up, attempting to get the pieces back together before he was required to be on track, talking to countless journalists about his job. Lando didn’t want to talk about anything with anyone at that moment, only to Y/N if he could. In the end, with all the suffering he was going through, she was the only person he wanted to talk with to make it better.

“It’s not her fault. It’s my fault. All me. I’m always the problem”, he thought, all day. Everybody knows that Lando can get himself down a self depreciation hole, but now he actually knows it was all entirely his fault. So it was a little harder to get him out of there.

He heard of her Emmy nomination later that day, while they were waiting for breakfast at a bakery. Lando felt a boast of energy in his body, feeling so proud of his girl’s achievement. But when he remembered she didn’t want him there to celebrate it with her, he felt sad once again. He had to retreat back to his hotel room, because it was too painful to pretend nothing had happened while he was outside. People were starting to recognize him, and they could all see the sadness painted all over his face. He couldn’t do it anymore.

The first time Y/N and Lando met again after the fight was on the Thursday morning, as they were waiting for a car to pick them up at the hotel to drive them to the track. He felt uneasy to be around her, not getting to exchange a single world to her. She had grown into his best friend over the past couple of months, him always wanting to share everything with her all the time. So when she avoided his eyes like the plague, it hurt him too much.

Still, he wasn’t one to give up so easily. Lando approached her as she was distracted and said what he was dying to say the entire day. “Congratulations on your Emmy nomination. I’m very proud of you”, he kept his voice low, almost as if he was afraid to say those words. Y/N was looking away from him, but her eyes met his once she heard the words. It was as if she was trying to figure out if it was a figure of her imagination or if he was really saying it to her.

He finally got to see how bad she was as well. Lando knew her like the palm of his hand by then, so he could see that she was suffering too. But he saw a little bit of the light come back to her eyes with his words. But as much as she wanted to throw her arms around him and give him the tightest hug, she knew she had to be tough. So she toughened up and gave him the coldest response. 

“Thank you”, she nodded, looking the other way the second after. If Y/N stared into his eyes for too long, she would give into him. Only a few words from him were enough to ignite the fire on her heart once again.

“I would like to talk to you eventually”, he said, still facing only the side of her face. Lando watched her close her eyes and hold her breath. She was trying to not cry again. “If you want to, of course”.

“Not now, Norris”, she walked away without even looking him in the face.

It was hard to pretend everything was fine as they walked together in Interlagos, especially with the whole media surrounding them and ready to fire questions if they noticed something wrong. Luckily, since there was no racing happening, Y/N got to stay buried inside the McLaren motorhome until it was time to go back to the hotel once again.

Everybody noticed something was wrong, especially with the look on Lando’s face. His mood was so down that even Zak Brown noticed it. And judging by how Y/N hid herself in the McLaren hospitality until the whole thing was over, he put two and two together. He tried talking to Norris, but Lando kept assuring everything was fine. No one in the team, specially those who knew the relationship was fake, knew what was going on. How did the lovey-dovey couple go from posting cute pictures on social media to no talking in a couple of days?

Impressively enough, the whole thing that happened between Lando and Y/N didn’t affect his performance at all. He secured P2 in sprint qualifying and maintained the position on the sprint race. And if that wasn’t enough, he got pole position for the main race on Sunday. Yet, he couldn’t feel happy about it enough. None of that seemed to matter, because he couldn’t feel joy at all without Y/N.

He could’ve finished in any position – he could’ve won, for that matter – and he would still feel nothing. It hurt too much to receive nothing but an empty “congratulations” and a lifeless hug, just for the cameras to capture. Lando wanted to punch a wall, and he wanted to punch himself for what he did.

Later that day, when he was back at his hotel room with Max, Lando couldn’t control his crying anymore. He had been excellent at not bursting into tears through the past few days, but it was getting too hard to bottle in the feelings, especially when Y/N’s hands felt cold on his as they walked with fingers laced in public. His best friend had to hug him in order to hold him up and not crumble to the floor.

“Come on, mate. You need to stop crying and go get some rest for tomorrow”, Max pleaded, now having Lando sit down in his bed. “I know this whole thing is hard, but I can’t stand to see you this sad when you should be celebrating the perfect weekend you’re having”.

“I think I lost the love of my life, Max. So of course I’m crying”, Lando wiped off his tears, but they kept streaming from his eyes. “I can’t feel happy without her. She’s everything to me, and knowing I fucked her up makes me feel so stupid. I’m so fucking stupid to not apologize to her.  I did everything, but forgot the most important part of it all”.

“Have you tried apologizing again?”, Max asked and Lando nodded.

“I said I wanted to talk to her whenever she was up to talking, but she ignored me”, Lando sighed, throwing his back against the bed. “I would do anything to go back in time and fix this”.

“You don’t need to go back in time to fix this”, Max said. “Look, mate, she has admitted having feelings for you, right? So find the right words, put your pride aside and get her back”.

“You don’t know her. She is as hard-headed as I am. No simple apologize will make her forget the dickhead that I am”, Lando said. “And maybe I really don’t deserve her. She needs someone who has never treated her less than the amazing person that she is”.

“Lan…”, Max tried talking again, but his friend needed to vent more than hearing more advices.

“I would do anything to see her happy again, you know? It’s even worse to know she’s suffering too, because I can never get out of my head that it’s my fault. And I could make her so happy if she gave me another chance. I just know it”.

“I’m not the one who’s supposed to be hearing those words. Talk to her, tell her everything bottle inside you. This time, remember what I said: find the right words. And if it doesn’t work out, well… you already have nothing. You have to at least try”.

Lando went to sleep that night with Max’s words in his head. Months ago, he vowed he would do anything to make Y/N trust him, and he’s yet to try everything in his sleeves. There’s still one more chance, and he would take all the chances he had to have Y/N back.

When Sunday morning came around, Y/N felt almost hungover with the exhaustion from that week. She dragged herself out of bed for the fifth time that week and put on a sundress to enjoy the nice and warm weather outside. Then after breakfast, she waited at the meeting place in the hotel to get to the paddock, ready to put on her best acting and pretend everything was alright. Today would be crucial, because all the eyes would be on her and Lando through the main event of the weekend.

Through the night, before he fell asleep, Lando thought of a thousand ways to get Y/N to talk to him. And if she was finally going to listen to him, he knew what to say. But all his plans were lost when he saw her standing at the hotel lobby, waiting for the car to take them to the track. He thought of a lot of ways to approach her, but he simply rushed into her encounter. And as if their eyes were magnets, she turned to look at him just a few seconds before the collision. Before she could protest, Lando had her engulfed by his body.

She was taken by surprise with the action, but she was even more surprised to how her body reacted to it. Y/N immediately melted into his touch and let her arms around his shoulder, feeling her chest burning into flames and feeling easy to have him so close. She buried her face in his neck and let all the tears she was holding in for days finally fall in relief.

“I’m so sorry about everything”, he whispered in her ear, holding her a little tighter. “I have so much to apologize to you and the right words to say everything, but so little time right now. I don’t want to go one more second without talking to you, because it's been too much for me. I miss you, Y/N”.

“Lando”, she leaned back and looked between his eyes. Y/N could see how this entire thing has impacted him as well, and it hurt to see him hurt too. So she softly ran one of her thumbs though his cheek and smiled, tired of fighting.

“Y/N”, he encouraged, still too nervous with her response. But he felt a little better to see the smile on her lips once again.

 “Go in that car and win this race. For me”, she held his face between her hands and squeezed it carefully, assuring him that they were okay, at least for now. Lando was so happy that he pulled her back to the hug.

“For you, anything”, he kissed her forehead, knowing a proper kiss would be too far. “I promise that after the race, I have so much to talk to you about”.

“Don’t worry about it now, okay?”, she searched for his hands and gave it a squeeze. “We’ll talk later”.

Lando couldn’t let go off Y/N after that. They still were very quiet around each other, but it was a relief to have her hands laced with his all the time. Even better to have his arms wrapped around her as they cuddled in his driver’s room during his break. And you can bet he felt amazing when she pressed a kiss to his cheek before helping put on his balaclava.

“Good luck, Lan”, she whispered in his ear as he pulled him for a hug. “I trust you”.

And with the words he has been waiting for months to hear, Lando went into his car with the boost of confidence he needed. So far, he hadn’t won a race in Formula 1, but he had been so close for a lot of weekends. Always P2, never the winner. But now he had the confidence who could make him pass anyone in front of him. He was going to win for Y/N, just because she asked him to. So when he crossed the chequered flag before any other driver, he felt his entire life flash right in front of his eyes. Every sweat and tears dropped for this moment, who had been a long time coming. All these years had finally paid off.

Once he parked the car, everything moved in slow motion for him. The mechanics pulling him in for a hug, and all the other drivers who came to congratulate him as well. It could be a scene taken out of a film, quite easily. And when Lando saw Y/N standing right next to Zak Brown behind the barricade, he could feel his heart at his mouth. She was drowning in proud tears, applauding him with all of her strength. So he didn’t care about anyone else who was calling his name; he simply approached her and gave her the biggest kiss they ever shared. 

It’s been only a couple of days since he had last kissed them, but Lando missed her lips as if it had been a year since he last did it. And with that, he felt a weight being lifted off his shoulders, knowing everything was finally alright. His reputation was saved, he had a race win, and he had his favourite girl right there with him. It couldn’t get better than that.

Lando chased her lips once she tried to break off the kiss, not wanting to let go off her yet. But she managed to separate them between giggles. “My P1. I’m so proud of you, Lan, congratulations!”

“I love you”, he mumbled against her lips. “I love you so fucking much”.

Y/N didn’t say it back right at that moment, because there’s still a lot that needed to be said between them before those three words. But she kissed him again, and it said it all. She didn't have to say she loves him because Lando knew it. Looking into her eyes, tasting her on his lips, he knew she felt the same. So he didn’t care about getting no response, because he knew it all in his heart.

“I’ll be back in the blink of an eye. I promise you”, Lando pressed another quick peck to her lips before proceeding with everything he’s required to after the race.

Lando stood on the tallest step of the podium and raised his trophy as high as he could. He splashed his champagne bottle to make a mess on everyone, spotting Y/N on the ground and spraying the liquid far enough to reach her downstairs. He was glowing, and anyone could see that. It showed through the pictures, the interviews, the small talks with people from his team. McLaren made sure the debrief was short so they could all go celebrating the moment that has been a long time coming.

He was ready to party, but there was one more thing left to do.

“You stink of champagne”, Y/N was giggling between his arms. He was spinning her around as they walked into his hotel room, finally having some time along after the race. Nothing could kill the big smile he had stamped on his face.

“Smell it. It’s Chanel”, he joked, pulling Y/N for another kiss. Lando had her pressed against the door once it was close, and it felt too good to have his breath taken away once again by her kisses. He wanted to touch her everywhere just to know she was really there, but once his hands darted under her dress, she stopped him there.

“Not now, Lan. We still have a lot to talk before all of this”, she broke off the kiss, and he agreed with a nod. Suddenly, he was nervous once again, knowing the talk they needed to have had the potential to fix or fuck everything. “Hey, where’s that big smile you were giving me before? I miss it”.

“It is terrified of losing you”, he admitted, making Y/N’s eyes soften for him. She rubbed her thumbs on his cheeks and pouted, making him open a small grin once again. “But you’re right, we need to talk”.

“We don’t need to do this right now, Lando”, she said as he pulled her to sit in bed. He cut her before she said anything else.

“But I want to”, he said, pulling her hands to entwine with his. “Listen, I don’t think any amount of words can fix what I did to you in the past, but I'm very, very sorry. For every bad thing I said about you and every time I mistreated you. Y/N, you never deserved to hear those words from anyone, and I'm sorry I took too long to realize that”.

Y/N nodded and waited quietly while listening to what he had to say. But she could tell that he was nervous, so she encouraged him by rubbing her thumbs on the back of his hand. Lando looked down and smiled at the gesture. It showed how much she cared about him, even though he keeps fucking her up.

“You jumped into this crazy idea just to help me in the blink of an eye, and I never showed you gratitude. Even when I didn’t deserve, you were kind, and you took care of me. And I kept breaking your heart over and over again”, he admitted. “And I regret all of that. I'm so sorry, and I promise you, I'll change”.

“You already have changed”, she ran her fingers through his curls and looked between his eyes. “I know you have, Lando, or else I wouldn't have opened up to you. I just couldn’t bring myself to believe that it was really happening. So I tried to shield myself as much as I could from falling in love with you”.

Lando nodded, a little sad to know that he hurt this relationship so much that she tried not to feel anything for him. But it was nice knowing she felt the same all along, even though they needed some healing.

“And I know you're not the idiot you used to be with me. I understand that you changed and, for you, I would do anything. I would do it all again if I had too”.

“I'm sorry for being so selfish. I was so busy thinking about myself that I forgot how much I had hurt you in the past. I forgot to apologize, and I thought that giving you flowers and kisses would be enough to mend a broken relationship from the start. I was willing to do anything to make you trust me that I forgot the most important part of it all”.

“You understand my point, right?”, she asked, and he agreed with his head. “You showed me that you’re someone worthy of loving, but I just couldn’t trust you at all, because you never showed regret. But now, looking you in the eye, I know that you truly are sorry”.

“I regret every bad word I ever said about you”, he assured. “I think I made my point very clear, but I want to assure you that this thing we have, with sex and the ‘enemies with benefits’, was never just that for me. I would always have that tingle in my heart whenever I was intimate with you and with all the little nice interactions we had, my ice heart started melting for you”.

“Trust me, I know the feeling”, she assured him between giggles. “I also have to apologize to you. The insults weren’t one-sided. And I know you might think it’s all your fault now, but we both know I was a bitch to you as well. So to start in the right place, I have to say, I’m sorry too”.

“Well… I deserved it”, he shrugged, hanging his head down, but Y/N softly brought it up by taking it between her hands.

“No, you didn’t, Lando. You filled me with compliments, and now it’s your turn to take them”, she said. “You also have the kindest heart in the world. You take care of people, and you’re always the energy in the room. You’ve taken care of me on times I needed, and you brought light into my days. You taught me the purest form of love. You make me laugh, and you make me feel like a princess whenever I feel like I'm a monster. You're a good person, Lando. So if anyone is a bitch to you, they better apologize”.

“I used to be so scare of love, but you make it so easy”, Lando looked at her with adoration in his eyes, feeling so great to have his face between her hands. “I love you so much”.

She smiled at him, knowing for sure that now it was safe to say it back. With her eyes filled with tears, she admitted: “I love you so much too, Norris”. 

Y/N pulled him for a sweet kiss, finally pouring all the feelings she had for him into her actions. And he savoured every single second of finally having his dream girl all to myself. Lando slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer.

“I thought I had lost you”, he whispered against her lips, feeling his eyes welling up with tears of relief. He felt it all too hard in his chest. “I'm so glad you're here with me”.

“Yeah, I thought we were doomed”, she admitted too, lacing their fingers together and giving his hand a squeeze. “But love always finds a way”.

“For you, I'll hang the stars in the sky, only to bring them back down if you want them back”, he confessed, now pulling her face between his hands. “I hope we can finally stop with the PR thing, or the friends with benefits thing, or whatever other stupid label between us, and properly be a couple”.

She giggled with him and nodded in agreement. “I want it all with you, Lan. You and me, to the end of times”.

“Forever, my love”, he pulled her for a hug and pressed countless kisses to the top of her head. “Also, now that you’re finally talking to me, congratulations again on your Emmy nomination. I’ve never been so proud of you”, he poked her sides and she laughed with his actions.

“Thank you, love”, she kissed his nose, making him blush a little.

“I’ll never get enough of praising you for this. I was so happy when I heard the news. I knew you were extraordinary, and it was just a matter of time until they recognized it”, he affirmed. “I almost exploded for not getting to celebrate it with you”.

“To be fair, I celebrated it crying alone in my room”, she confessed between laughs. Lando's heart faltered at the confession and his smile dropped. Y/N deserved a proper celebration to this incredible achievement in her career.

“You're kidding, right? So we have three things to celebrate tonight”, he said, making Y/N frown in confusion.

 “What's the third thing to celebrate?”

“My grand prix win, your nomination and our love, now very much official”, he cracked a smile, making her laugh with his statement. Y/N just had to pull him for another hug and lots of cheek kisses.

“You’re so adorable”.

“Come on, let’s get ready. We have a party to go to”.

As she watched him waltz into the bathroom for a shower, all smiley and happy, Y/N felt her heart lighter again. Everything was exactly where she wished for it to be, and she could finally enjoy it all with him. Love is weird, and sometimes it blossoms in places you would never expect. But it’s good to know you’re loved back, especially by someone as amazing as Lando. In the end, love always makes it right.

crossed means i can't tag you! dm me and maybe we can get it fixed

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

hi! sorry if you've answered this already, i tried to search your blog and didn't find much, but we all know the tumblr search function is...uh...but i'd be deeply curious to hear your thoughts about Stephenie Meyer's "The Host," specifically re: treatment of the issue of souls' colonization and possession of other species...and obviously, since i'm asking you, an animorphs blog, this, my curiosity is definitely coming from a place of comparison to animorphs, but that doesn't have to be your focus!

from the posts tumblr's search algorithm did grant me, i gather you see it as wanda unlearning the colonizer's propaganda stance she takes at the start of the story, which i agree with!

but i guess every time i read it, i really can't help but feel...unsatisfied? with the way it actually engages with the horrors and colonization of it all?

sort of like, okay, The Host is this one very individual YA romance story in a sci-fi setting, which is obviously different from a heavily-Star-Trek-inspired middle-grade series about guerrilla warfare and is going to grapple with these issues differently...but still! i don't leave feeling satisfied with how it engages with consent of "host" bodies the souls are in, and i don't feel satisfied with how it engages with the souls' systemic behavior!!! but i can't really put my finger on why, and i just...was curious, i guess, whether this was something you had thoughts about.

(full disclosure: i'm asking you specifically because one of my HUGE points of existential dread on my first adulthood reread of The Host was how Jodi never wakes up, and her boyfriend just starts implied-dating the soul who's in her body? or how kids who are infested from birth are just...gone, and they were like "well sweet we can just put Wanda in there, this is a perfect solution!" and that I think hit me so hard in comparison with having read Eleutherophobia--which is, by the way, a masterwork of fanfiction that wrecked me, overwrote canon a little bit in my brain, and I think fundamentally changed how I see the possibilities of writing and narration, so, you know. thank you for that!)

(also like, i know there's different worldbuilding where it's implied most hosts just...go away...but do they actually? because Mel and the Seeker's host are still there, which kind of implies to me that it's more of a problem than the souls want to admit?! and even outside humans, all the memories, and compulsions toward certain behaviors are still there! what makes a person in this universe of Meyer's?! it's kind of fundamentally horrifying?!)

apologies for this extremely long ask, haha, and i hope you're doing well, love your blog, your writing, and all your thoughts!

Oh my god, ALL OF THIS. I thoroughly enjoy the first 98% of The Host. It's a romance novel about consent! Where the characters have to struggle to resolve the plot in a way that gets the permission of everyone in the love quadrangle to boink everyone else, and spends over 500 pages doing exactly that! It's anti-imperialist as fuck! It's got an amazing supporting cast, like every Stephenie Meyer novel! The imagery is unparalleled in its richness and coolness, because Stephenie Meyer! I've written fan fiction about it! I have an extremely normal relationship with Kyle O'Shea!

And then Sunny. And then Wanda's unnamed second human host.

I think that Meyer, either because of romance genre conventions or pressure from publishers, felt she had to write a happy ending. But the book does such a good job of setting up an unresolvable moral dilemma — either Wanda gets to be with Ian, or she does the right thing by giving Melanie's body back — that there is no path to a happy ending. If Ian did as Wanda asked and sent her in a jar to some other planet, romance fans would feel cheated. If Doc did as Melanie asked and let Wanda stay in her body, then the book's anticolonial message would be for nothing.

But resolving it through PARASITING A KID IN A VEGETATIVE STATE? What if Doc makes Wanda a nice robot body? What if Wanda stays in a jar, but Ian finds a way to join her in the jar? What if she and Melanie set up a time share? Uuuuuugggggghhhhh. The Host was THIS CLOSE to being the best anticolonial novel ever written, and then falls on its face inches from the finish line.

Which, aside, is the reason I don't think Animorphs would ever work with a happy ending. "Happy" for the protagonists would never be morally okay in the bigger story.

Maybe you’d waited for too long, maybe the book you chose had bored you until you fell asleep. Whatever it was, you didn’t know you were in danger until the last second, a knife pressing against your throat and a croaky voice that wouldn’t normally belong to a kid reached your ears.

Chapter 7 < > Chapter 9

taglist: @kurai-hono-blog, @katrina0-0

Gotham wasn’t known for its beautiful weather; the blue, clear skies the granted wish given to a shooting star. Rather, her citizens were creatures of water and fumes, so accustomed to the rain soaking up their clothes and fog clogging their lungs.

It was only fitting the sporadic sunny days had ended that moment, the light drizzling had turned into a downpour, caging you in the gazebo, the vines coiled around the posts and the roof frame welcoming the rain.

Sitting down on one of the patio chairs, with your legs leaning against the railing, you watched the water fall, your breathing in sync with the droplets falling from the ceiling onto the tip of your shoe.

One hour had turned into two, the rain long gone but the clouds still as ominous as ever. You debated between heading back inside the manor, your thin shirt ill-suited for the cold that the rain had left. However, you couldn’t do it.

And how could you? What had you given them besides problems and pain? Making it known their lives were not real, their whole existence did not hold a single drop of significance, with people having no issue with killing them, even if they were just children.

A hand spurred you out of your thoughts, hoping to see two gems looking back at you, however, even though you held a special place for her in your heart, you couldn’t mask the disappointment in your face at seeing Cass standing next to you, a first aid kit on her hands.

“May I?” She gestured to your bandaged wrists. With your reply a simple nod, she sat down next to you, leaving the box on a wooden table, and taking out whatever she needed to clean you, internally hissing at seeing the bottle of alcohol. You had never been able to handle pain. Even less to the degree they all had become accustomed to due to their night life.

Your reddened skin was exposed to the world, the cuts healing well, a part of you hoping for Cass to decide they were good enough to not need cleaning, nonetheless your hopes didn’t last long, as the cotton balls and alcohol was the first thing she grabbed.

“I’m sorry.”

“What for?” She asked right before pressing the cotton to your right arm, a groan coming out of you.

“’Bout everything my world did to yours. Dick’s parents, Bruce’s parents, Tim’s negligence, your abuse… Jason’s death.”

Cass was silent for a second, calmy changing your bandages, not a single emotion on her face. There was rarely one if she didn’t want it to be seen.

“You wrote the stories?”

“No.”

“Is our world shaped by yours?”

“… I don’t know”

“Why are you apologizing, then?” You opened your mouth to explain once more why— but it came out empty. “Even if we only exist because of you, you did not choose to hurt us. You chose to love us. Despite our flaws and… Traumas, yes, our traumas.”

“But you suffered so much—”

“By people who have no relation to you. Yes, we have suffered, but… I like my life; I have a family who loves me. Despite my up… Upbringing. I cannot imagine living without them.”

It was the most you’d heard her talk in once sentence. Silence befell the two of you while she finished changing your bandages, asking if she could also look at the cuts you’d gotten on your back when you were dragged across the floor.

By the lack of use of alcohol, you assumed nothing major had happened, feeling the fabric fall down your skin once again.

Did it matter if you knew if it was your fault or not, when the person you cared about thought it was?

-

With having been on the manor for only a week, the safest choice for you was to stick to the areas you knew how to get back to your room, being mainly the kitchen, the drawing room, and the library, the latter being the place to find you at the moment, looking for a new book to chase away your boredom.

As well as hoping to run into Jason.

---

Maybe you’d waited for too long, maybe the book you chose had bored you until you fell asleep. Whatever it was, you didn’t know you were in danger until the last second, a knife pressing against your throat and a croaky voice that wouldn’t normally belong to a kid reached your ears.

“You have ten seconds to tell me what you are doing in my home before I end you.”

“I’m from another universe.” You blurted out, chiding yourself for saying the least favorable response to your case.

“Tt.”

This was it. You survived an encounter with the Scarecrow only to die at the hands of a ten-year-old.

“Damian!” The hand faltered, the tip of the knife grazing your skin. “Leave her alone.”

“I have never seen her, Grayson.” From how distant the voice sounded a second ago, he must’ve turned his head to face Dick. “She could be a danger.”

“You’d never seen her because you were in San Francisco.” Dick calmly explained, taking the very sharp knife from his hand as if it was a daily recurrence, not a single show of worry on his body. “She just got here couple days ago.”

With no blade to threaten you, Damian walked around the couch, standing next to you, a scowl on his face that seemed more than a natural expression than one directed at you.

“Nice to meet you, Damian.” Your hand thoughtlessly moved upwards your neck, a drop of blood staining your finger, but he heeded no attention to you.

“I see. And may I enquire what is she still doing here? Why has father allowed her to stay? What is this about ‘another universe’?”

“Ah, shit… I knew I forgot something…” Dick rubbed his neck, sitting down on the settee in front of you, eyes glued to the floor.

Damian finished rounding the couch, standing in front of Dick, his stance was rigid, and his face devoid of any emotion, but the subtle way he was rubbing his thumb and pointer fingered showed he was nervous.

“What is it, Grayson?”

“Dad’s missing, Damian.” The rubbing stopped. “We believe he was sent to Jane’s world.”

Damian stood still for several seconds, so rigid he could be mistaken for a gargoyle.

“And what have you been doing to rescue him?”

“We’re working on it. Tim already—”

“Tt.” Damian interrupted him, crossing his arms. “You have that fool working on it? No wonder you have not made any advancements.”

“Actually…” You finally spoke, drawing the attention of both. “He’d already created a portal to my world, only… Well, I touched it and it closed. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s me.”

Damian huffed, but the frown turned into a raised eyebrow, face turning once again to Dick. At least he wasn’t completely ignoring you.

“Is it safe to assume she…?”

“Yes, she knows about our identities.” Dick’s tone was the one of an older brother forced to watch over his siblings; tired and in need of a long nap.

“Hm… You better watch who you talk to. I will end you if you do anything to harm my family. That includes revealing our identities.”

With a fond exhale, you looked him straight in the eyes.

“Yeah, I know, you’ll kill me and make me suffer, yada yada. Why don’t you go out and play with Goliath or something?”

“How do you—?” He stuttered, for once his stoic nature crumbled for a second. You laid back, arms resting on the back of the couch and a smirk on your face. Oh, you so enjoyed looking like a badass, enigmatic villain right now.

Even if you were only doing so to bother the kid.

“I know some stuff, child.”

“Who’s Goliath?” Dick asked.

“No one.” He hastily replied. And so, Damian left, not before sending a heated glare to you, your fingers splayed open in a childish wave as he walked away.

---

You weren’t the world’s greatest detective, but it still didn’t take long for you to realize Damian was watching you closely. The first days you hadn’t noticed, but the unexplainable feeling you got ever since he came home made sense once you caught him hidden on the top of the bookshelves through the reflection on a mirror.

And of course, with him being the son and younger brother of the world’s greatest detectives, he was bound to be spectacular as well, knowing you’d caught him just seconds after you did it.

“How did you know?” He asked, jumping down from the bookshelf, landing neatly without making a sound.

“Bout what?” You asked, comfortably laying down on the window nook, a new book in hand, and Alfred’s signature Earl Gray tea in the other.

“About Goliath.” He calmy walked towards you, but you had the feeling he could pull out another knife anytime, the Batman-themed band aid on your neck proof of that.

“I told you. I’m from another universe. Hasn’t Dick explained it to you?”

“He did.” His gaze lowered to the book you were reading, one of Jason’s favorites which wasn’t Pride & Prejudice. No, he didn’t know you knew that about him. “But it still does not explain how you know something not even father knows.”

“I just come from a world where… Well…” You bit your lip, you had no idea how Damian would take this information, and what his reaction would be. “You are, well, comic book characters, you know? Just stories and all.” Should you be worried or glad he didn’t seem to react to that? “And there’s this one story of you sparing Goliath when he was a pup. Everyone knows how much you care about animals.”

“I do not—”

“Save it, kid. I know it, and it’s nothing you should feel compelled to lie about, it’s a truly noble cause to care so much for beings that sometimes can’t defend themselves against the cruelty that is humanity.”

A subtle pinkish hue tinted his cheeks, the smallest of smiles on his face, but his gaze unfocused at the same time his smile disappeared, lost in his own memories.

“Yes, people can be cruel sometimes.” He took a deep breath, turning his gaze towards the ceiling for a second before it landed back again on you. “Your world… We do not exist in it?”

“I don’t know.” You admitted. “That’s something I’m trying to figure out, but I’m not as smart as your siblings, I don’t know how this all works. I got a few theories, but I’ve no way to test them.”

“It is safe to assume you read quite a lot about us.” He spoke calmly, more a statement than a question, surprising you how better he was taking this than the rest of his family. “I have noticed specially, how… Interested you are in someone. I know the books you have been choosing” He gestured with his hand to the one currently resting on your raised legs, The Taming of the Shrew, your finger saving the page you were on. “, are those Todd enjoys the most, however you do not display signs of enjoying them, most of the times staying on the same page for longer than you should. Unless this is the result of an affliction? Dyslexia, perhaps? I am sure Grayson would be glad to help and find a professional.”

“I am— No, I’m not dyslexic.” You did not like where this was going, ashamed the rest of the family would discover your slight crush on Jason. Were you that easy to read? Did they already know?

“Hm. I know you choose to spend your time here when Cain or Drake do not drag you someplace else.”

“Why are you telling me this, Damian?” You blurted, it seemed he had inherited his father’s annoying habit of not speaking clearly whatever was on their minds.

“If you are infatuated with Todd, I will let you know he left the manor the day after I arrived. If you are hoping to run into him here, you are wasting your time.”

Huh, that explained why you hadn’t seen him at any meal.

“Why are you telling me this?” You asked again.

“I will not tell if you do not say anything else about my life to my family.”

“Are you— Are you blackmailing me?” Your scoff brought a smirk on the kid’s face, a huff leaving your body. “You little shit… Fine, I won’t tell anything about you. Not sure what else you could want to hide, anyway…”

“I shall be monitoring you closely, still.” He was just about to leave the library when he turned, sheepish and rubbing his thumb and pointer finger again. “What is your name?”

“You can call me Jane.”

Zoro stayed back with you to keep you company "hey y/n how about you and I take a stroll around town ?"

.."sure that doesn't sound to bad " so you both walked off the sunny after about 30 minutes of walking Zoro brought you to a nice little mountain side that overlooked the sea "oh Zoro how beautiful how did you come upon this ?" ..well earlier when we were in town I kinda got lost and found this place " he said rubbing the back of his neck looking away from you .."oh and here happy Valentine's Day pumpkin " he then handed you the f/c bag of homemade chocolate .."awe Zoro did you make this just for me ?"

You said as you put your book down that you were reading.."well let's just say I'm taking you on a little date " ..oo sounds fun when are we leaving?" "Whenever you want my lovely !" So you got up from your seat and told brook you were going to change really quick and then you both could head out .."alright brook im ready !" He then turned around to see you .. you were adorned in a blouse with hearts all over with black jeans and some tall combat boots "you look so beautiful y/n !" .."now let's get going " he held out his hand and you took it he quickly told the crew you two were heading out for the day ..after walking through town you both went to a restaurant and ate then stopped at a ice cream parlor and got some yummy ice cream and to conclude the evening you both went into a shop to browse around brook spotted a beautiful hair tie and ring he knew you'd like you had already looked around the whole store so you told brook to take his time that you'd wait for him outside so he quickly went back to grab both items and paid for them and got the nice lady at the counter to put it in a small box ..brook somehow hid it from you the whole time back to the thousand sunny you both stood to watch the sun set

"What a wonderful Valentine's Day don't you agree brook ?".."yes but " he then got down on one knee and pulled out the ring "but what ?"and you turned to look at him you seen that he was proposing you started crying as the crew cheered in the background "y/n will you make me the happiest skeleton in all of the world and please be my wife ?" .."yes brook yes !" He slipped the ring on your finger "now I can safely say today was a wonderful Valentine's Day Yohoho!"

Kidd,

You had been sick for a few days now and you'd hoped you'd be better by today which was Valentine's Day you wanted nothing more but to spend today with Kidd but your plans got soiled by your own immune system "curse you immune system!" A few tears fell from your eyes that soon turned to full on sobs the whole crew distanced themselves from you even your own boyfriend didn't even bat an eye in your direction .."Kidd where are you headed ?" Killer asked as he seen his friend stauntering off the ship he didn't answer he just kept walking..Kidd knew today was a special day because you had it marked on the little calendar in the kitchen so he went in a bunch of shops to pick up different things he thought you'd like so he fixed the little basket he had up looking as cute as possible not his type of thing but it was for you so it was a exception so he started his trek back to the Victoria punk but he stopped at a restaurant and ordered some food for the both of you ..when he got back he went straight to your room and barged in "y/n you up ?"...... no answer so he flicked the blanket off of you seeing you with tears falling down your face "y/n what's wrong ?" His rough demeanor crumbled when he seen you crying "well to start off everyone has been avoiding me like the plague second of all you have been avoiding me aswell and I just feel like shit because I'm sick third it's Valentine's Day and I really wanted to spend it with you but I can't " .."yes you can here happy Valentine's Day baby " he gave you the basket he prepared for you .."awe Kidd thanks for this I love you !" It was nothing baby and I love you too now let's eat so he went and retrieved a small table and a stool for him to set on and a candle after he got everything set up you both started eating after you both got done you started dozing off after you completely fell asleep Kidd cleaned up and came back and picked you up and brought you to his room and you both went to sleep

Corazon,

“hey Cora-San"law asked pulling on Cora's coat "what is it law ?" "Since today is Valentine's Day can we make y/n something?".."how sweet of you sure we can !go get the craft supplies from the closet "so law brought all the supplies they needed to make some things for you he made a few paper flowers,and a card "how does it look Cora-San ?" ..he then handed him the card ."she'll love it law good job" he handed it back and law smiled at the card "now how about we run to town real fast and get some flowers and some chocolate?" "Sounds good " so they walked into town and found a flower shop and Cora let law pick some roses for you to put with the ones he picked for you and they made a beautiful bouquet and they grabbed a box of chocolate and payed and went back home to wait for you to get home from work .. "Rosi,law I'm home !" Cora ran over to give you a hug and tripped on a book law had laying on the floor "oomph" ..law had been in his room reading when he heard you were home so he grabbed the things he made running to show you but you were busy helping Cora up "welcome home angel how was work ?" .."same old same old .how were you guys day ?

Crocodile

After a long exhausting day at work my shift is finally over and I can finally go home to see my amazing husband crocodile .

I grab my bag and phone and head out as I'm leaving I wave at the secretary and tell her I'm taking my leave.

As I'm headed home I quickly send him my location  because he likes to make sure I make it home safely

. He texted back and said he was home waiting on you. You texted back and said you should be there in 5-6 minutes if you weren't home in that time period something probably happened.... (Due to you being his wife ) .(yall live 5 minutes from your job)

I pocket my phone and keep walking after walking for about 3 minutes

I get a rag put over my face and drug into and ally before I passed out I noticed that this person was one of makiyokos men that I seen on the news and are one of the cross guilds rivals.

I try my best to fight but the drug on the rag worked faster .

Timeskip to makiyokos hideout

"Boss we got her like you asked" isamu said

"Awesome now we can draw the cross guild in with her missing" his boss Akari said

As I open my eyes I see 2 men infront of me I recognize them and Aoki Akari and his #1 sato isamu

Akari speaks up and says with a laugh ... "you were the perfect target to draw the cross guild in to us.

You wondered when crocodile would notice you weren't home on time ..

A few hours go by and I started hearing gunshots.. already knowing who it was you waited patiently while still being tied to the chair...

Akari and isamu waited patiently next to you with their guns drawn waiting for whoever walked through the door

You hear mihawks voice from outside the door saying "this is the last room boss "

You sat watching in fear tears falling from your eyes .. fearing that mihawk would get shot

He breaks down the door you shut your eyes and no gun went off oh look up and see that both of their guns jammed.. what luck you thought..

Then crocodile and buggy along with mihawk walked in and buggy shot Akari and Isamus leg making them fall down ...

"You son of a bitches I thought you'd never get through my guards "said Akari

"Well they were pretty weak in my opinion said "mihawk

Crocodile then announced to buggy and mihawk to take them to the hideout

Crocodile then untied you from the chair and you immediately locked your arms around his neck and put your legs around his waist and he held you for a few seconds while you cried

Then he started walking out of makiyokos hideout headed back home

Timeskip to y'all getting home

You slept a little on the way home waiting till you were in the privacy of your own home to talk to croc

As he picked you bridal style out of the passenger's seat he took you inside and took you to the bathroom he then set you on the granite countertop and drew you a bath

You undressed yourself and got in the water he then told you to scoot up where he could get in behind you

He then asked how all this happened and you began to explain

As you were explaining he started to massage your shoulders a lil

After you finished explaining you both sat in silence for a moment then washed yourself off then got out of the tub and headed to y'all's shared bedroom

After you got dressed you walked back into your shared room croc was already dressed waiting on you in bed he throws the sheets back and pats his body and says "come here sunshine" and you layed on him and buried your face in his chest

He wraps his arms around you  and holds you for a few moments before letting go and making you look at him

He then pulls you in for the most soft kiss that was full of love

You both pulled away and he spoke up saying that you wouldn't be going out for a while without having him or  a guard by your side

He then said since it's the weekend tomorrow he was going to take you on a date

You smiled and said thank you for everything he did today and kissed him again

He smiled and said "your welcome I'd do anything for my dearest sunshine "

You asked him to sing the song my only sunshine to you and he did

You slowly drifted to sleep happy and listening to crocodile sing as he played with your hair

and after he knew you were asleep he then drifted off to sleep himself

Gojo,

Y/n had been friends with Gojo and geto for 3 years now and 2 years ago she and geto started dating y/n loved geto and enjoyed when they hung out ..but geto just dated her because of a bet he had going with some of his friends...they told him if he dated her for 1-2 years they would pay him a lump sum of money and he agreed..Gojo never found it entertaining to watch his best friend date y/n and then talk shit behind her back ..Gojo always hung out with her when geto wasn't around but she never noticed how much geto was using her ...until now you and Gojo were walking around the park because Gojo thought it would be fun to spend Valentine's Day together until you both seen geto making out with some random girl .. Gojo panicked and stood infront of you and embraced you he then went on saying..."y/n I can't keep this a secret anymore.. hell I'm sorry I even kept it a secret from you but geto is only dating you for a bet insane am I right?"... it finally hit you as to what geto was doing while he was gone is he was hanging out with this random girl he never loved you .. you hugged Gojo tighter and a few tears escaped your eyes you then let go of him and he gave you a sorrowful smile you then grabbed his hand and turned back around and asked Gojo to take you on a drive...after about 20 minutes of driving around in silence you told him you wanted to go home .. when you arrived at your house you told gojo to come in ... you both sat down on the couch waiting for geto to come in

15 minutes later

"Y/n I'm home happy Valentine's Day !... oh Gojo what are you doing here at this time ? "

"Geto tell her the truth even though I've already told her "

"Tell her what? "he said with a panicked tone

"About how you're dating her just for a bet and that you're dating another girl for real "

Geto just sighed and said "I got bored 2 weeks into our relationship and just decided to go to her she's way better anyway" and after that he left

Gojo turned to y/n and just looked at her

Y/n spoke up "I can't believe I was oblivious to the fact that he didn't love me and that he was cheating on me wow im so stupid aren't I Gojo ?"

"No y/n you aren't stupid Geto is"

"He was an absolute idiot to cheat on an amazing angel like yourself "

He then took this moment to confess

"Y/n I know you and geto just broke up or whatever but I've held this in ever since I met you "

"Y/n I love you so much please take my confession seriously and think about it ok ?"

You nodded

He got up and walked to the door and you quickly stopped him and asked if he wanted to stay for the night

He then said " ok sure anything for you my angel "

He then asked "hey don't you have a spare set of my clothes? "

"Yeah go in my room and they are on the top shelf of my closet"

He went in and got them stopping before he left your room because he spotted a picture you had on your dresser by your door .. it was a picture of you and him at the Christmas festival last year he picked it up "geto was such an idiot to cheat on you y/n don't worry I'll take care of you "he thought as he put the picture back down

He then went and took a shower

After he got out he walked to the living room to find no one

He then walked to your room where he found you laying in your bed he then climbed in and held you from behind

"My Angel whatcha thinking about hmmm??"

"everything "

He then sat you both against the headboard and set you on his lap and put your head on his chest and held you there

For once you actually felt the love you seeked

Gojo then started singing a song

You slowly dozed off before you fully fell asleep you said "Gojo thank you for today I love you "

He then looked down at you in his arms and kissed your forehead and whispered "I love you to my angel I promise to treat you with all the love and care you deserve and if your up for it I'll take you on a proper Valentine's Day date tomorrow "

And he slowly fell asleep aswell

Toji,  

You and megumi were strolling the streets of shibuya for Valentine's Day megumi mentioned you and he should go on a mother son date so you both bought some ice cream and sat outside and ate it enjoying each others company until you heard a familiar voice your ex husband toji fushiguro "y/n,megumi ?" You froze and megumis eyes widened "what are you two doing in shibuya ?" "Shit" you cursed under your breath "we're just having a mother son date why do you ask? " ."well I was on the way to your apartment to talk to you " .."oh well I guess we can go I'll drop gumi off at Gojos place " so you two headed to gojos to drop megumi off .so when you both got to your apartment Toji was the first to speak "y/n I know I shouldn't have left you for 5 years because of my shitty job but I just recently found out that I had a son so I decided to give up that life to try and reconcile with you and be here for both you and megumi " .."it'll take some time for me to accept you again but you can rent an apartment next door and come visit but I'm not gonna let you in my heart again that easy got it ?" .."100%clear got it " then there was a ding at the door you got up seeing that it was Gojo "hey y/n I have to go on a mission for a week can you please babysit yuji for me ?" .."sure Gojo no problem.im sure megumi will enjoy that aswell huh megs?" He knoded holding onto gojos pant leg obviously nurvous of the strange man setting in the living room ..so after Gojo handed both kids over to you ..you introduced Toji to him and megumi didn't like his vibe at all so he just walked off with yuji in tow .."well looks like megumi won't crack that easily huh ?" ..."looks like it ..welp i better get going where i can pack my stuff and move in soon ..I'll see you in a week  ..adios " and then he left and you went to start cooking dinner for you and the 2 kids

Choso

As y/n sat down to do a makeup look for Valentine's Day just for fun but her boyfriend choso walked in and sat behind her on her bed

As y/n finished the last touches on her makeup she turned around and asked choso how it looked

"It looks amazing sweetheart but i want you to do mine now" he said as he looked you in the eye and crossed his arms thinking you wouldn't

"Of course babe I'll do your makeup "

He then smiled

You told him he needed to relax his face and he did as he was told

You picked up some Foundation and applied it to his face

After you blended it out you then grabbed some concealer and applied It

After you got the base makeup put on

You moved on to eyeshadow and eyeliner

After you got that put on and perfected you smiled and said all done

But then you thought......

"Hey choso can I do your hair ?"

"Of course sweetheart make me look cute"

You then grabbed 2 ponytail holders and put his hair up in 2 braids

You giggled at how cute he looked

He then asked if he could see you said of course

He giggled and hugged you and gave you a kiss and said he loved it

Then all of a sudden choso got a call from his friends saying they wanted to go out drinking

Choso really didn't care if the guys seen him with makeup on and pigtails

He asked if you wanted to come with him and you obliged because this wouldn't be the first time you went drinking with choso and his friends so you both hopped in the car and headed out

After a good majority left you and choso stayed to chat with his 2 other friends and some locals

the guys gave choso a few looks but never said anything

Until your best friend showed up with her boyfriend and seen you and choso had your makeup done

Oh look how cute your makeup is choso I wish my man would let me do his like that one day she said with a smile and a short giggle

Her boyfriend then scoffed and said I would but I don't want to be judged by the guys ..maybe in private one day

You then thought of an awesome plan you smirked and looked at her .."hey how about we have a day soon and do their makeup ? "

"Sure y/n that would be great but we really have to go I have to go check on my puppy " then you all bid your goodbyes

After you and choso got home you took his makeup off for him and you both got showered and got ready for bed "I love you y/n " "love you too choso"

Robin

It was 1am when you felt Robin moving around a lot so you set up and turned the bedside lamp on ..seeing Robin having another panic attack you woke her up "Robin honey wake up " she opened her eyes jolting up "come here honey let me hold you " so she relaxed into your arms "do you want to talk about it ?" You asked as you kissed her head "no not really it's just my past that's all " .."I promise Robin nothing like that will ever happen again ".."can you sing me a song please y/n ?" .."sure anything for you " you then started singing her favorite song and she slowly started to drift off to sleep

Nami

You and Nami had broken up a week ago and things weren't quite well for either of you ..you both wanted to make up again but couldn't find the courage to ask the other person ..until you talked to robin about it she told you you should give it a try that it should most definitely work so you took her advice and shoot your shot "hey Nami can I talk to you for a minute." .."sure what's up ?" .."well you know how we broke up a week ago .. could we maybe get back together?" .."sure y/n we can it's been the worst without you ".."omg i know right its like I couldn't function without you " .."I've missed you Nami " .."I've missed you too y/n "

Cesar

"Hey Cesar want to make some cupcakes with me ?" You asked as you poked your head through the lab door "sure y/n just give me a second " .."ok I'll be in the kitchen waiting " so you went and got all the ingredients for tonight's dinner and the cupcake mix and ingredients and after you had grabbed the eggs from the fridge Cesar came up to the kitchen island watching you put the ingredients on the table "I'm here y/n what are we doing first?" .." let me preheat the oven real quick and we can start with the cupcakes .grab me a bowl from the cabinet please" he sat the bowl down on the table as you heated the oven "alright now cupcake time “you said with jazz hands you poured the batter into the bowl and Cesar cracked the eggs and poured the oil and he mixed it so you prepped the pan with liners and let Cesar spoon the mix in the pan you then got some batter on your finger and smeared it on his nose you couldn’t help but giggle “hey why did you do that “ you then stopped giggling and kissed it off his nose “that wasn’t to bad was it ?” .”hmph” ..”awe don’t pout “ you put the cupcakes in the oven as he went over to the island and sat down watching you as you prepared some pasta you then pulled the cupcakes out of the oven and set them on the counter to cool after you got done cooking it was time to ice them and you made them as cute as possible and you plated you and Cesar’s food and set them down at the dinner table and got some drinks and you both ate enjoying each others company and sharing a short conversation and you went back to the kitchen and grabbed the cupcakes and sat them infront of Cesar “try one “ he picked one up and took a bite “these are delicious y/n “ ..”of course they are you made them yourself “ .”thank you for the dinner y/n I appreciate it I know we don’t get to spend much time together but I greatly appreciate when we do I love you “ ..”awe Cesar I enjoy every second we get aswell and I love you too “ and you walked over and kissed him

Yuji.

Today yuji invited you over for a date but he forgot to tell Gojo so when you arrived yuji answered the door as Gojo was cooking and that’s when it hit him he forgot to tell Gojo “shit y/n I forgot to tell Gojo you were coming over “ ..”he should be fine with me right ?” “I’m not sure we’ll just have to see “ so you walked with yuji to the kitchen where Gojo was in a pink apron humming a tune “uh Gojo I forgot to tell you I was inviting y/n over for dinner “ Gojo then turned around to see you “now yuji you cold have told me and I would have. Made myself more presentable “ “besides that hello y/n how are you ?” “I’m doing great thanks for asking sorry to come in unannounced “”it’s no biggie I hope you’ll enjoy todays dinner “ “I sure will because I know you can make some of the best food “ “now you tow love birds go chill while I finish cooking “ …so you and yuji went upstairs and chilled until Gojo called you both for food and you 3 sat and ate and made conversation and all in all had a awesome time

Megumi

“Hey megumi ?” “Yes y/n what’s up ?” “Have you ever wondered what it’s like to dance in the rain ?” “Yes why?” Well can we dance in the rain please ?” “Sure let’s go “ he grabbed his speaker and his phone and brought you outside and put his speaker and phone down and played a love song and you both went in the street and began dancing enjoying the small thing in life

I hope you enjoyed 💜

Chapter 2 is finally finished! Apologies to anyone who was reading this fic my personal life got very chaotic and my disabling chronic pain also made this take way longer than it should have haha

If I had to summarize it like an its always sunny episode, it would be "Shadowheart and Lae’zel Are Starting to Like Each Other And Are Incredibly Repressed About It".

This chapter was beta'd by the wonderful @blackjackkent without whom I think this chapter would have taken even LONGER to post. Check them out! They're a fantastic writer that does fics for the baldurs gate fandom and they have an incredibly compelling bg3 live blog going on rn.

Also want to thank my partner who was incredibly encouraging throughout my entire struggle to write this chapter. You always give me strength darling.

Thank you to anyone kind enough to read this after waiting so long. Hope you enjoy!

We return to Prometheus, the movie that makes me want to use the “Leave it” command I’ve taught the family dog.

Apologies if the screenshots are hard to visually parse on this one, this part of the movie is not meant for viewing on a bright, sunny day. May I recommend the alt-text? I've got image descriptions in there, as well as rambles that almost double the word count of these posts.

Also, your daily reminder: Go into your blog settings, scroll down to "visibility", and turn off 3rd party data harvesting! Do it! Happiness is stored in the not-getting-comodified!

My antipathy toward the archaeologists was reaching unprecedented proportions. The only character I didn’t fault for putting his hands on everything like a two-year-old: the literal two-year-old android, David.

Is there a long and dumb history of infantilizing dudes’ behavior? Yes. Was it very funny to see the archaeologists suddenly freak out because someone else was getting too handsy with the alien archaeological finds? Also yes! 

David opens the door, having to climb up a collapsible ladder to comfortably reach the controls, which is a nice touch. The next room contains the head of the decapitated Engineer, and also

I don’t know whether the set designers put this together prior to the decision that this would be where they put the decapitated body, but in hindsight, it seems a little on the nose. What the set wants to communicate is a religious feel–an idol of some kind, delicate reliefs on the walls that some consider to be plot holes because they look xenomorph-y, and a bunch of black urns.

The visual intent, delivered beautifully but with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, is that this is the room where shit will begin to go down. It’s a refined miniature of the egg room in Alien. Something is going to get inappropriately intimate with a man’s face here.

I suppose we are meant to find it a plot twist when that happens later, and not now, but I was still experiencing Archaeological Rage at this point.

Despite telling David not to open the door, they wander in like utter lemons, breathe all over everything, and are surprised when this has consequences. The art starts melting off the walls.

Admittedly, when the moist breath and germs of gormless tourists has caused irreparable damage to ancient egyptian tombs and 17,000 year old cave paintings, it took much longer than this. One of the characters exclaims that they must have disturbed the atmosphere in the room by opening it, which is possible. However, we literally see accumulated dirt in this room. Alien worms writhing in it. This is a plot point for a few scenes from now, because the black urns have started sweating a Mysterious Goop that the audience may remember as “that DNA melty stuff from the opening scene”.

Back when I was talking about setting mood, expectation, and feeling pretty good. I miss that.

There’s apparently a cut scene where Millburn the biologists finds those alien worms somewhere, and has a near-religious experience. It’s the first macroscopic alien life ever witnessed by modern humans. Something that evolved entirely separately from us. He’s in awe. 

The scene no longer has any logical home in the flow of the movie–the worms are only seen by the audience, in the urn room. Millburn left with Fifield the geologist, following Fifield’s panic attack. Still, it would’ve gone a long way to humanizing his character if it was still included, showing that the cast isn’t all treating this like kindergarteners at a toy store, and partially explaining a dumbass thing he does later.

It would also stand in stark contrast to further desecrating an ancient body, which is next on the agenda for our cast.

With the room literally melting and the Prometheus calling in the approach of a sandstorm, they heave the head in a duffel bag and sprint away.

I hate this. There’s the feeble justification that they already fucked up the room anyway, but they have been viewing the body as a thing they want to have, an emblem of their own efforts, and not an ethically distinct class of object that has to be treated with extreme care.

Nope! Into the duffel bag it goes. David, for his part, duffels an urn. I hate this less, for the aforementioned reason of “two-year-old who everyone’s been robot-racist at”. Also because frankly, he’s an android in an Alien movie, one that is very self-conscious about the tropes. He is either going to be an absolute saint like Bishop, or he’s going to be an extension of a callous corporate power like Ash. David is a unique spin on it, but he’s absolutely the Ash.

He manages to be all that and the only one who knows what he’s doing. David saves Shaw and the poor goddamn head from getting swept away in the sandstorm, with calm efficiency and an air of either “I have done a good thing, please praise”, or “yes, I am better at this than you”. Honestly can’t tell which. He’s certainly begun to develop antipathy toward his creators, which is one of the few character arcs that manages to occur in this movie.

So, great. Our cast has blundered into, breathed all over, and botched their exploration of humanity’s first alien structure, on the urging of an allegedly-archaeologist who literally treated it as a christmas present. They return with stolen artifacts and somebody’s head. They do not return with their biologist and geologist, who have apparently gotten lost in the alien structure, despite the geologist also being the one who was making the team a map of the place.

Things do not get better.

About the blog:

Welcome to Toontown!

The purpose of this blog is to post important law-related updates for the citizens and visitors of Toontown.

Unlike other cities, our Judge is actively involved in Police Department affairs, and personally oversees executions! Having a judge that's also the executioner, sheriff, and chief of police saves so much tax money!

We hire both toons and humans through Judge Doom's criminal rehabilitation program. I myself am a human who was allowed to work for Judge Doom in exchange for not being executed by a cartoonish electric chair that laughs evilly.

Lerlarn more about me in the link below

Visit Sunny Toontown, today! Every Joe loves Toontown!

Out of character information under the cut

This blog generally takes place before Who Framed Roger Rabbit takes place and after Judge Doom was elected, but is willing to interact with blogs from other time periods

This blog will never be less SFW than the movie itself...that being said, this is a movie with adult jokes and a character named "Smartass" so don't expect it to be 100% family friendly

No real world issues allowed

Cartoon roleplay blogs are welcome so long as you behave

The blog will probably have occasional cringe. I apologize in advance.

[unholydeukae]

Hello you lovely people <3

It's been over six weeks since I last posted on here and I'm so sorry for being absent. My mental health at the moment is... not at its best, to phrase it like that, I'm struggling with a surprisingly heavy depressive episode and more often than not hardly have the energy to get out of bed before most of the day is basically over again. Therefore, it's difficult for me to create content at the moment, although I have a draft sitting in my google docs that I hope I can finish soon.

I'll obviously try my best to write more again because I really miss it and I miss you guys as well, I just don't want to make promises I can't keep, so I can't say for sure that a lot of posts will suddenly appear again - at least from my end.

Speaking of, I'm really glad to have Moon as such a good friend and co-admin in my life; she kept and keeps the blog running despite her uni stress and other things that wear on her nerves, so thank you a lot for that and everything else you do for me!!

I'm aware an apology doesn't quench your thirst for smut, but please also see this as a prospect for a Sunny-comeback hopefully sooner than later!

Lots of love and always take care of yourselves guys 🫶🏼

[ask-bad-end-sunny]

can you set it up so we can read all of the blog chronologically? it would be very convenient!

In the pinned post I have all of the main plot points in order from the first to the most recent! Hopefully that's what you mean...if you're talking about just regular asks, there's also a list of special tags in the pinned post! If you search one of those special tags you should be able to read most if not all posts/asks to do with Sunny or the other characters!

I apologize if it's not the most organized or well layed out, I'm still not the best at doing so with my blogs 😔

the reappearing letter

my quill is sharp, freshly sliced with the knife of time and my ink-pot stands ready and waiting, with ink as black as beautiful chaos - are you ready? are you leaning forward, balanced precariously at the edge of your seat? good, let's begin,

after a long labour of love/hate/utter confusion that has been an entire month of work and two years of prep, for the time being at least - i'm free!

and of course with that freedom comes time, two glorious months of it, and after battling withdrawals and the well of my imagination almost drying up under the weight of academia, i can write, and truth be told dear reader, I've missed it, and all of you too - interacting on occasion just isn't quite the same as having the time to participate in tag games and come up with things of my own and talk to as many of you lovely souls as possible, so i have an awful lot of catching up to do - apologies for my disappearance for a few weeks but i'm back and just as eager as ever to take part in writeblr once more!

this letter comes to you from a gloriously sunny day, in which I'm perched in a chair surrounded by flowers with the sun at my back and the wind as gentle as the calm before a storm; it's a day of many things, but for tumblr at least and this blog, it's a day of possibility and I truly cannot wait to share it with you all,

for a little while at least - the hours slip through my fingers like sand and become impossible to predict - this letter is all for now, so thank you for bearing with me, and I hope you look forward to the coming weeks as much as I do,

~ A Girl and Her Quill

Me, every time I reply to comments on posts from my main instead of this one:

@sunmontuewrites is my main, @sunmontuedraws is my drawing one (any art I don't hate immensely I will also post here), this blog (tgmsunmontue) is the Top Gun side blog (obviously), and then I have about another 15 side blogs. Apologies for the mess.

From what I know of my 12+ years here, the only non-SunMonTue blog which isn't related to me in some way is the actual "sunmontue" which hasn't had anything on it since 2015.

hi ive been binging your blog a lot recently. i rlly adore the sheer effort you've given to these dumbass fucking characters that otherwise get such little people even attempting to appreciate or engage with them beyond very shallow depths. as someone who only really got into the p4 games relatively recently (2022. my only remembered experience with the series beforehand was like a couple episodes of the the p4anim years ago and playing p5 in 2016/2017) and kind of being shell-shocked by how characters like marie and teddie and namatame were perceived by the overall fanbase once i started engaging with it more i really appreciate all the writing and analysis and art and other shit you do for them. even the gas station attendant, a character i overlooked initially, i've come to love because of all the time and energy you put into picking them apart like a dead frog in a science class

uh yea idfk i feel generally vindicated by seeing the way you characterize these bitches. especially marie as someone who felt like a lot of her interesting aspects were evaporated by the fandom (somewhat because of p4ga i feel but but still) and wanted to see more silly fanart of her (and shumarie/soumarie/whatecvrer the fuck that wasn't just kind of surface level romance becuz i rlly do love their dynamic w how i see bancho in my head. idiots who dont know how to properly express themselves w one repressing themselves to adopt a likable persona and the other unable to shut the fuck up much to their own detriment. im not gonna get over that fucking "marie makes everyday sunny for him" post ever i think) so uh keep on keeping on and ill continue to like your posts and something

anyway dumb stupid cringe fucking rant over. i apologize if i come off like a loser i dont use this website and idk the general tumblr etiquette. im pretty sure shit like this shouldnt even go here but . dont need to respond to this i just wanted to yell into the void cuz i appreciate this account. rest of this will just be panels of marie and teddie and bancho from some of the p4g anthologies i own that i wanted to share in the off chance that you also dont already own said anthologies n have seen them befor. these r only from the last ID antho and the dengeki one because those r the only 2 i have proper pictures of

hai i read this ages ago and i wanna get back to it by saying youre so awesome possum forever and ever dont worry about your ettiquette because getting 3 essay worthy paragraphs of you talking is basically everyone ive met in the tumblr nation

another thing i remember is that a bestie also loved your offerings esp the last one because those two look so lalala AUAHUAHA okay i should answer this ask properly now that i have the time 🏃🏃🏃🏃

can we give it up for the bingers and blog skimmers !?!?!?! you guys are such an interesting breed i remember trying to do that in 2018 i can already recall the thrill going through my blood im so honored to see people doing that and moreso coming to me to tell me about it WAHAUHAHA 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

this gas station (blog) really is catered to the niche market of all time also because the way my brain is wired to just go in the dustiest nooks and corners of a community and thrive and live there. i AM the bug you see when you lift up the rock . hai . i'll do anything for these poor poor characters being tossed around like hot potato with people who dont bother understanding thing or even try to pick them up at all. also im getting such a kick every time someone tells me i got them into appreciating the attendant or even iznmi more OR in a different way. thats why im here bros . me when i do my JOB !!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

the way fandom handles shipping has always irked me because theres just SO much you can do with two characters than just make them hold hands. what if there was blood invovled, you know . /starts pacing around the room / you know im glad you know the know it's so cool you know /shaking you/ im glad i have a post that's affected you so much like i thought it was just a silly caption at the time and seeing it after 2 or 3 years is like "YEAHH i cooked this " and im glad you brought it to me hehehe

i hope this gas station brings you joy and you keep coming back for more etc etc and please know i really am happy to see you around in whatever branch you show up at 🫡🫡🫡 /explordes

my interaction with asstrid (warning: deadnaming, misgendering, both censored)

if anyone needed any context for that apology post i shared and that is forever stuck on my blog now. and the best part of all!

sexual harassment! btw, Sunny also said you're terrible at blowjobs, asstrid, so no thank you. and take a bath, you still stink.
