THIS WAS SO FUN TO WRITE OH EM GEE but it lowkey took longer than I thought it would… but i hope u all enjoyed 😁😁

also y/ns messaging is literally just how I message.. I fear this is the most self indulgent fic I’ve ever written

[wonton4rang]

SOO, in this period I have developed a huge obsession for Sungho from bnd, seeing those broad shoulders every single day makes me think about how much his physique is suitable for that of a swimmer. Sooooo, could you write something about pool sex with sungho? Thanks in advance if you do, love ya🫶🏻

oh my god you're soooo me (and i love u too<3) 😭😭😭 lately leehan and sungho have been making me go crazyyyy. they are so hot and for wHAT.

this is long, i think the longest post I've made so far but i just got carried away, sungho is such a writeable person, specially when we include his shoulders/ back and pool sex??? i hope y'all enjoy !! If you see any typos, no, you didn't 🙏

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

summer was the worst season for you, it was hot, sticky and it forced you to wash your hair EVERY SINGLE DAY, and honestly that's a hustle. so you simply hated when summer came, yeah, that until you noticed that you could have a win win by going to swim class, you wouldn't be hot (due to the weather tho), you will learn how to swim and you will also get to see the hottest boy in town: park sungho.

you just couldn't wrap your mind on how he looked so good, perfect skin, beautiful foxy eyes, a tender smile and an amazing and lovely, kind, cute personality. he was basically perfect. but the day you saw him swimming??? that was the day you felt you were doing it all wrong, how come you had such a hot man close by and never noticed? he has those broad and toned shoulders, his muscles tensing when he swam through the pool and then had to flex his arms to pull himself out of it in the edge.

you felt how your throat went dry and your hands started to shake when he walked your way.

"you must be y/n?" he asked softly, removing his swimming hat and launching his perfect hair, because yes, he also had perfect hair.

"yes, i am here for the classes?" sungho just nodded, getting to your side before looking up and down at you and lifting an eyebrow.

"you can change in there" he signalled a door behind you "today is just gonna be us since the other two said they couldn't make it"

you just nodded in comprehension, walking to the place he told you about and changing into your swimming suit, noticing how you forgot about your swimming hat, you suddenly felt so nervous and you couldn't telk why. well, i can tell you why, your pussy was literally wetter than the pool out there, it took sungho 2 minutes to make you want him so bad you'll beg for it.

once you went out, you couldn't even think about swimming, you were NOT listening to a single word he said, your eyes were fixed in his lips yet you did not understand a word, but when you felt his hands in your waist, his face so close to yours when you lifted your head, you just couldn't hold it back and shamelessly licked your lips, getting a tilted head from him before he kinda laughed at your action and made you put your feet in the bottom of the pool.

"is there something you wanna tell me, y/n? you are definitely not paying attention. maybe something you want to know so we can continue?"

"are you dating someone?" he definitely expected that.

"no, i am-"

"i need you, please" he gapped his mouth a few times before actually freezing in front of you, his hands on your hips and his eyes scanning your face for almost a minute before he said:

"like, here and now?" you nodded to his words and he just thought about it for a second before nodding too and trying to get out of the pool, you held his hand and stopped him.

"i want to do it here" but sungho was just as compliant as he seemed to be so he just said yes and finally took you in for a kiss. don't get him wrong, it's not that he's an 'easy' person but when he was so stressed with the upcoming competition and in top of that had to give classes because his dad asked him to do so (the local pool was theirs) he just needed a way to escape that, and you looked just like the perfect match for his preferences.

so it was perfect for him when you came forward first because tbh he didn't know how to approach you without making you feel uncomfortable if you didn't feel the same as he did. and this was actually such a new experience for him, fucking with someone on a random day, place and without having any ties to that person previously to doing it? that's straight up crazy for him.

but here he was, kissing you like his life depends on it, he was needy, he was seeking for this and now that he had it he just took it. his tongue ghosted your lips and his body pressed against yours with some strength that made you open your eyes when your back hit the edge of the pool, your hands went automatically to his shoulders, pressing down in the flesh, feeling it under your fingertips and moaning softly at the feeling and the warm yet chilly temperature of his skin.

he left your lips for a moment, going for your neck with hot and open mouthed kisses that gave you this weird feeling of emptiness and made you so needy for him when his arms went to each side of your head, pressing agaisnt the edge of the pool and his lips going down to your collarbones when your hands held him for below his arms, positioning in his wide back and making him get closer and closer to you to the point that he groaned himself, making you feel the vibrations in your skin before one of your hands took the hair in his nape and pulled him back a little.

his lips looked swollen and his eyes kinda watery when he faced you and took one of his hands to cup your face and kiss you softly "i need you, please" he nodded at your words, kissing you one more time cause he personally just loved the whole kissing stuff like a mad man.

"do you have any condoms?" he asked you really close to your lips, not really wanting to leave them.

"i... i actually do" you mouthered and he tried to get away from you so he could look for them, it's not that you always had condoms in your bag, even though you should just in case, but you really knew what you came here for so... but even before he got 5 inches away from you your hands were already pulling him back "do you mind doing it without it? i'm good" you explained, so he could know that there were no diseases in your system.

"i don't mind but are you sure? the water can cause some friction and i wouldn't want you to-" he took his bottom lip between his teeth and then proceeded "you know, i want you to enjoy it too"

"it's okay, i just want to feel you" he laughed at what you said because you could feel him with a condom too but he won't discuss that now that he felt his boner pushing his swimming pants and urging for a release. he nodded and took you in for a kiss again, his hand lowering in your body until he reached your pussy, palming a little and causing a spasm to run through your body, taking the chance to finally introduce his tongue in your mouth and kiss you deeper.

he didn't loose any time when his fingers made your swimsuit aside and he entered his middle finger in your cunt, your hands pressing in his back and your legs opened up for him to position himself in between them, his lips finally parted ways with yours, his forehead pressing against yours while he slowly humped you with his finger inside of you and his hips right behind. "i wish i could eat you out so bad right now" he whispered, audibly moaning like a little bitch when you gave him a short kiss in the lips and held the back of his head to play with his hair.

his eyes staring into yours with so much hunger that you just couldn't make it longer, you needed him to fuck you so bad, his frame covering yours and making your legs feel weak before saying "please, get in, sungho" and he did not thought about it twice, lowering his pants with one hand and keeping your swimsuit away with the other when he pressed the tip in your cunt, it felt so warm in comparison to the cold water surrounding you.

you felt him pushing pass your entrance and your arms wrapped around his shoulders for support, one of his hands going to hold your waist when he finally looked back up at your eyes, managing to unglue them from what he could see through the water of your pussy taking his dick.

"all good?" he asked as he slowly went deeper and deeper in your cunt, you felt the stretch and just when you thought it was all in, he kept pushing, causing you to groan out in desperation. you needed him to thrust into you and finally relieve your clenching pussy.

"all good, you can move" he nodded and finally slammed his hips against yours, the movement being rather slow due to the water but it felt so good that your pussy pulsated when he came forward one more time, this time stronger and groaning in your ear when he tried to muffle his moans by kissing the space between your neck and your ear, and as much as you liked it and felt like you could die right now and die happy with his dick buried deep in your cunt, both of his hands were now holding your hips while his fingers pressed with some strength there, you pulled away from his lips, his thrusts coming to a stop because he got a little bit confused at your actions.

"did i hurt you?" you could feel his grab loosening and quickly denied with your head.

"you're perfect, but i want to... you know, hear you" his eyebrows lifted at that, his cheeks blushing when he swallowed at your words "you sound so pretty when you're on it, please" sungho was just a big boy physically and mentally, but when you shared how you felt his dick literally twitched inside of you and he immediately resumed his thrusts, this time going deeper than before if that was even possible and he finally picked up a pace that made you grin a little bit out of pleasure.

he was so good for you, so good for your needs, so good to make you want more and more. but when he started moaning sweetly in your ear you lost it, you became a little bit more vocal too, both of your whines mixing together and resonating in the four walls of the roofted pool due to the echo in there.

he fucked you fast yet precisely, slamming his hips over and over again in that spot that made you cry out and clench your cunt around his already leaking cock. he was so into it that he almost forgot to keep his voice down, whining so softly in your ear before asking:

"are you feeling good?" you desperately nodded, letting a high pitched moan when he gave you a sharp thrust, your eyes were wide open while you looked at him, your hair coming in the way when he started fucking you like that, strong and sharped, making you jump a little bit but keeping you safe in his arms when he hugged your waist instead of holding your hips, you moaned before he removed the wet hair from your face and kissed your lips.

"you look so pretty, and you feel so good" he moaned against your lips, his right hand going down to play with your clit, causing you to spasm and grind down on his dick and hand.

"you feel so good too" was all you could manage to say before pressing your nails in his back, his shoulders aching a bit when you scratched him by mistake. and even though he was not into having those marks on him, it felt so hot in the moment that he might need to think about it twice. "i'm so close, so so close" your voice sounded wasted, cracking a little bit with each thrust he gave up into you. "please keep going, just a little more" but sungho was not that strong, he was not that good at holding himself back, specially not with your pretty voice saying those things to him, not with your arms holding him so close to your frame, not with your soaked cunt squeezing his dick and his desperation showing up. he couldn't, so he tried to pull out before he came, first because he wasn't coming inside of you without your consent and second because he wanted to make you come first.

but his ideas shattered when your arms did not allowed him to pull out, your head desperately denying before saying "please come inside, i need to come with you, please" it took him literally 8 seconds and almost 10 thrusts to come after that, the feeling of his warm dick softening inside of your while he rode his orgasm out making you come in his hand and around his cock. "goddam it" you whispered, your hands falling from his arms and resting on his waist, throwing your head behind while he was hiding his face in your neck, slowly kissing your chest while you both came down from your high and regulated your breath.

it didn't take him 2 seconds to kiss your lips when you looked at him afterwards, accepting the sweet kiss the boy was giving you and moaning at the feeling of his dick leaving your pussy, the emptiness coming back while your cunt clenched around nothing.

"how are you feeling?" he asked you softly, fixing your swimsuit and cupping your face with his right hand while his foxy eyes looked at yours.

"that was amazing, i had a while needing something like that" you laughed and he did too.

"that makes two of us" he reassured and then spoke again "are you taking pills or do you need me to get you something?"

"i'm okay, no worries, i got it" after that y'all just came out of the pool, not really into class anymore and tbh who would be? you went to change back to your regular clothes and you just know he followed you behind and went in the changing room with you.

that's how you both ended up making out, again, and how you took his number to hit him up if you ever needed anothed lesson. it really didn't have to be a swimming one tho.

[bestangelofall]

Firstly: I went through the lyrics to Wonderful Nothing by Glass Animals and it feels like *such* a brujay song!

Secondly: a selection of possibilities for Jason lovingly murdering Bruce

Werewolf transformation type thing. The cure has failed or whatever and it's down to just preventing Bruce from hurting anyone else and Jason's either the one with the guts to do it (if the others are involved at all) or simply the only one around

Bruce extracts a promise, an absolute *vow*, from Jason to kill him if he ever becomes a killer himself. Jason, of course, is the only person Bruce has ever killed (going with the UtRH throat slice being lethal here) and therefore he knows what he has to do

The Gotham War terror chip + Joker gas combo had a more lasting impact and at some point in his recovery/getting worse he goes through all the shit Bruce has pulled and gets it in his head that Bruce Needs To Go. Doesn't mean he can't get Real Weird with it tho

Old age. Bruce is just... very old. Whoever was going to take up the mantel next did so years ago, and Bruce has been living out the retirement none of them thought he'd ever get to see. He can tell that his time is coming soon though and asks Jason to help him go out on their own terms, perhaps with some idea about Jason being the one who deserves to get to do it or something like that.

I hope you enjoy the ideas and have fun writing whether you use em or not :3

-redhoodinternaldialectical writing in from the "main" blog

You are so correct about that song. It was an instant addition to my Brujay playlist! (I also really liked the song on its own too, not only for the ship vibes).

Thank you so much for suggesting it and for the ideas for Jason lovingly killing Bruce... I love all of them and want to write all of them. I thought about this ask the whole time I was working yesterday xD (lol I wrote this on the day after you sent this ask, but I've still been thinking about Jason lovingly killing Bruce for all these days).

I'll start commenting on the last one: Bruce ageing and deciding that he'll ask for Jason's help to go on their own terms is sooooo bittersweet. For this one, I'm thinking that Jason and Bruce found an understanding at some point, and developed a better relationship (one that's not rooted on just Jason making concessions). Jason feels honored for the request, and works to make it painless and quick. I think that with this one I'd go with Jason being, well, less creepy about it all, despite the morbidity of the scenario. Btw, if we consider the immortal Jason headcanon in this situation, this gets even more interesting, because then Jason will have to live with the burden of having killed Bruce for the rest of his life. And who knows how long that will last... Depending on how things went and what kind of understanding they reached, I think Jason would feel motivated to "keep Bruce's memory alive" or something like that. Bittersweet as hell, but strangely more sweet, at least for me :)

Werewolf type transformation: this one can be sooooo rough, because depending on the situation, it could be very violent, and you know... Violence as a form of intimacy and all :) Jason *would* be the one (or at least, the first one) to have the guts to do it, and I don't think he would regret it afterwards, but it would be a burden, and he might blame himself for not finding a third option when he needed one (but that's Jason entire point in UTRH - sometimes there are no third options, so I think that exploring his mental state after the killing could be super interesting). ANYWAY, Jason cradling Bruce against his chest while Bruce dies, and he's trying to be quick about it, but Jason, well, he's a hopeful person despite it all, so he watches Bruce dying, looking for any signs that Bruce's still there (but it would be too late to save him anyway, not that it matters). Maybe Jason tries to off himself afterwards 😬

The vow: Jason is not letting that man go in peace! Do you know why? Because Jason knows that Bruce already killed someone before this vow was made, and he resents the hell out of the request, because Bruce never even noticed that he killed Jason on that fateful night. That, or Bruce knew what he did and didn't care, which would be even worse. I think that for this one, Jason would use a Batarang :3 for the irony (I won't say it's *the* Batarang because as much as I love that idea (for bloodplay) I can't really justify how Jason would have had kept it, since he was too occupied bleeding out, and the building exploded afterwards, possibly destroying the batarang). Just Jason, making Bruce lay against him, and saying sweet things in his ear (for this one, I think it would be interesting if Jason never expressed his feelings for Bruce before but now there's nothing left to lose, so why not?) and being physically affectionate, and Bruce is just. Completely weirded out by it. And then Jason tells him about Bruce having killed him at the end of UTH 🥰 before cutting his throat. Jason holding Bruce while he bleeds out, telling him that it won't take long, and then he'll be at peace, that it won't be so bad etc, kissing Bruce's forehead and telling Bruce he loves him (and those are the last words Bruce ever hears)... Er. This was what I was thinking about when I made the post 🫣

Gotham War one: yeah this one is so cool too, because I feel that Jason deciding that Bruce needs to go after Gotham War would be even believable if DC were not writing Jason in his ear pray love phase. Obviously, he wouldn't actually kill Bruce there, but in fic?? It could be so delicious. Jason still suffering through the effects of the fear chip/joker gas and something going wrong/right. Would he have moments of fear and euphoria while he was planning/doing it? That could be super terrifying to experience for Bruce. Especially nice if this happens after the conclusion of dark prisons, so Bruce thinks he's out of the woods with Jason, and then bam! Murder suicide rendezvous 2.0 (because I think this one also might end in a suicide after Jason kills Bruce...)

Also, separated from the above Gotham War situation, I think an interesting alternative for Jason killing Bruce would be if Bruce used the entire situation with the fear chip to take advantage of Jason (Brujay or platonic), and Jason striking when Bruce thinks he has Jason completely under control.

Anyway, thank you so much for the ask, the scenarios™️ are living rent-free in my head lol. I am currently so unwell about this ship 🙃🙃

[orphanage-body]

Sooooo (hi), what’s your favorite part about sandman ? Your fav characters ? Your fav stories ? What are you excited for if they were a second season ? Or anything sandman related you want to gush about ?

Heyyyy! (again, sorry for being late, tumblr doesn't tell me when you even sent me these two asks but I'm guessing, for this one at least, that it was when I spam-reblogged The Sandman gifsets. So, it's been a while. Sorryyyy)

To answer your questions, I loved so much about it! Episode 6 and 11 live in my heart forever (I even rewatched them). There's so many good things about this show. Dream has taken over my heart, the second we saw him captured, his body almost unhuman in that trap (Sturridge did an amazing job in training, and in acting. Ngl I'm very much in love). And the shot of him in the cage, sitting like the Fallen Angel painting by Cabanel, I was done for. All the characters are incredible. I love so many of them, for so many reasons, but Dream, Death, Hob, Matthew! They won my heart. Calliope was my favorite story, I loved seeing that side of Morpheus, and Calliope is. She's amazing. I love her so much and I don't want anything bad to ever happen to her ever again (also thank you thank you thank youuuu to the writers for not explicitly showing us what Madoc did to her. Showing him disheveled with a scratch on his cheek was enough for us to understand what happened). Also episode 5, even if it was uncomfortable and gory and disgusting and eww, was INCREDIBLE TO WATCH. The construction of the episode was so good, every single detail was thought through, and the story leading to it was very satisfying. But contrary to episode 6 and 11, I'll probably have a harder time rewatching it haha. Also, the whole season is so fucking pretty, I was often dumbstruck. Also how dare they break my heart over Gregory. I've known him for 5 minutes but I loved him so much 😭

Idk anything about The Sandman except for what's in the show, so I don't have any expectations or ideas about what's to come, it'll probably be Lucifer-related tho, given the ending? Also I'd looooove to see Hob again, that man is everything. And Johanna, because, Jenna Coleman. And Death. And Calliope? Oh, I wanna know more about Orpheus, also!

Hope you're happy, I had a lot of Toughts™ (still have more tbh, but it's hard to write them in a coherent way, also this ask is already very long xD)

From your reblogs, I'm guessing you've also read the comics? If so, are they good? How different are they from the show? I've been thinking about reading them. Neil Gaiman is slowly taking over all the space in my brain.

[lostacelonnie]

Whoops i lost track of this one my bad. Discord messaging is so much easier with the notification staying there. Anyways. Hell yeah getting to be not near people you do lnt vibe with is the best love that for you. Ah yeah gulls will just be an asshole about anything so at least they gave warning? Still dont like em though. Australian magpies are probably worse. Thanks! I adore german & it just. Having very specific words for things. So im excited to dig into that. Oh i didnt know that but honestly not surprised by it. Another piece of history from nazi germany to add to stuff i know. History was never my like. Favorite subject but i try to study it where i can. Its important. Mobile gave me bronya finally so its goin well & seele is coming back in 1.4 so maybe ill be able to get her & bronya both. Though i find it weird that we're heading back to belobog already? I havent even finished the next story part yet though. I havent used fire trailblazer much yet but will when i have more of her eidolons. Theyre both real fun rcg was short so i beat it quick still workin on dredge. Ill let you know how rain world goes for sure. Oh very nice. I finally did mine into purple & it looks really good im gonna keep up on it i think. Ive been breaking off from both to play other stuff but 4.1 fontaine is still fun to explore i love it. Cant wait for furina to drop. Oh shit history exam i hope that went well for you.i will say bronya is nice to have especially with kafka. Give her a turn boost to get her follow up action back works real nice. Damn that is. So much stuff but sounds so worth it. For all the merch & the choker who doesnt love a good choker

OH ITS OK IT APPEARS THAT SO HAVE I. AHHH. IM SORRY. schools been a Lot lately [7 tests this week......] and im going to alicante next week so its probably not gonna get easier for me to respond soon..... and oh yeah it totally is. i ❤ discord cos i can at least give ppl Signs Of Life instead of silence. anyways. THANK YOU!! ive been having a lot of fun with the new group lately its great. and yeah they really are ajdkfkjfj im Thankful for the warning yeah. and also that not even a single gull tried to steal my food. ooh tell me ab it i havent heard any australian magpie horror stories...... and yeah as i said. german is Such a nice language, i esp agree with the words bc theyre just. Great. love em. but yeah didnt have much luck in my previous years of learning it. and oh well the more you know!! honestly it was never MY favorite either bc, even tho ive always found it interesting, i just. could never remember anything. but honestly now that im on hist-geo its really growing on me ahdjfkkgj. probably also because i have a cool teacher. AND HEY CONGRATS ON THE BRONYA and good luck with getting seele!!! i have Not opened star rail even once recently [<- was only playing the game to get wolfie and kafka] so idrk whats been happening. have fun tho!! fire trailblazer IS good with her eidolons but tbh i just never had the energy to build her. and ah epic!!!!!! and yes please do keep me updated if you end up playing rain world!!!!!! its sooooo good its so good. AND AHHH NICE!!!! i want to do mine purple someday but i have a pretty dark natural hair color so id have to bleach it and i dont really Wanna Do That yet. and fair ahsjfkfk ive actually been playing genshin More recently, at least when i have time. which is not often. IM ALSO SO SO SO EXCITED FOR FURINA I HAVE LIKE 170 WISHES SAVED ALREADY................... anyway!!! it did actually!!!! but were doing pretty easy material rn so well see how it goes in the future ajdjhfjg....... it is what it is. and ah yeah that does sound like a pretty good team actually...... and yeah it def was!!!!! havent gotten a chance to wear the choker out yet [<- scared of old ladies on the bus] nut im Going To

[respitelocklyre]

Okay so I FINALLY feel like I'm settling in after move-in day and having syllabus week, I have a little free time to update you guys on stuff!!

The first few days leading up to orientation were crazy, sure, but like you wouldnt believe wtf happened DURING orientation. First off, I hit up the ppl i met at the cafe so we could go together (willow also dragged her roomie along and she totally promised she was cool but she was sooooo lame lmao), but we ended up being the last to arrive somehow. Turns out orientation here is, like, a small group activity and not some big boring thing in an auditorium so i ended up working on this weird group scavanger hunt in the library with the same ppl. idk, the statues in the room with the glowing pool of magic light ("the snarl"???) told us something about working together and being graded on teamwork. Since when is orientation fucking graded anyways???

We split up even more into two groups since we were running late so we could tackle different clues at the same time. I managed to pawn stick-in-the-mud and frat boy off on each other (with mettie as necessary collateral damage but whatevs im sure he didnt mind). I'm just happy i got to be with willow who so far seems like the most normal person i've met since the cafe. I guess that nora girl and that cute owl boy i met today were pretty normal too. Wait wait wait did i even tell you guys about my roommate? He was, like, dumpster-diving on day 1 so i did NOT get the best first impression on the weirdo, but at least he's letting me use his closet since he only owns like 3 shirts and 2 pants.

Anyways back to the scavenger hunt! It was kinda cute but also super lame in that way school-sponsored events always are. Muk had another terrible time in the cafe (but got a, like, bag of holding out of it- which i am SO jealous of tbh!!), i befriended a bush (no not like that, it was, like, an actual sentient bush) that gave me a cute morphing plushie, and then willow got a lantern for getting on stage! From what i gathered, mettie and the others spent most of their time playing with the magic light pool in the first room? It made them trip balls or smthn. idc what mettie says- i dont think microdosing on distilled wild magic is gonna make thad a cooler person.

I think they did get some health potions from it tho, and then they found some kitschy little school pennants from their other clue. Mettie got enough for all of us, tho he brought me a prismari one and like...idk. I'm still not sure about all that stuff. I have like a year to figure it out tho so 🤷‍♀️

Okay that was all normal stuff but HERE is where it got CRAZY! We were just about to regroup and finish our scavenger hunt, when out of NOWHERE this chest came to life as a mimic and chomped down on this poor little gnome lady! And then a chair started coming to life too! Everyone was panicking and tbh i kinda wanted to gtfo too but idk, my group just, like...rushed in to help her so what was i gonna do? Make myself look bad by leaving them all behind in public? Not on my first day lol

tbh i might as well have just run away though, bc finance bro immediately drops a sleep spell and ofc me, mettie, and the gnome (CURRENTLY BEING DIGESTED) passed out and the two mimics were, like, totally fine.

idk what happened while i was sleeping, but once i woke up muk was totally passed out and bleeding everywhere, but at least they managed to get the other student out of the mimic's mouth before that. Anyways i sawed that motherfucker in half and then sawed the legs off the other stupid chair-mimic. I mean, dont get me wrong, it was def a group effort to take them down for sure. Aside from the sleep spell i think we have a kinda rhythm going together, considering that was our third fight before classes had even started 🙄 🙄 🙄

And then finally a professor showed up to help! She apologized and told us these things just kinda happen sometimes because of the snarl thing in the library, like it causes wild magic surges and stuff. She took the gnome lady to the infirmary and gave us all a platinum piece for our troubles (she said it wasn't a bribe, but ngl its working on me anyways).

After all that, our first week went pretty smoothly- we're all gonna meet up to go to the career/club fair at the end of the week! It sounds like most of us do not wanna keep being baristas after what happened lol We also went for boba and a lil mall trip this week, since muk hadn't ever done either of those things before (they were homeschooled!) and i am always up for getting myself a little treat. Even better when someone else gets the little treat for me! I can't believe mettie got my boba order right on the first try. Like...oh, whatever. I know that entry was long but school has been waaayy crazier than i expected! Sorry for any, like, slow updates n stuff, i promise i'll be back to my usual posting once this place chills out fr

NOOO AND IANTO DIDNT KNOW WHEN HED COME BACCCKKK. death ii. NOOOO. OUCH. i love angst. but. sdbfjsdbfajsf. i really meant to tell youuuu :(((

my janto playlist + song explanations because im normal . i feel like a lot of the songs are for my headcanons abt them but whatever

pętla - happysad

well its here it started the whole thing because i was obsessed with happysad at that point and most of these songs are gonna be bc of one lyric or sth i feel like but. the idea . im stoned so a lot of rambling sorry the idea abt hating the city was in my brain like jack bc i feel like at one point while waiting there for the doctor he started hating being there. dont ask me why

2. ukradli mi plecak - yann

generally because of these lyrics Especially the "bo mi ukradli wspomnienia" bc of his memories taken by the time agency and then like. bc hes done a lot and also about the kids he gave to the 456 (which i have opinions abt but whatever) and ianto would worry or something i dont know man

3. the world has its shine (but i would drop in on a dime) - cobra starship

might be just me but. deadline audiostory "ive never been much of a talker" ianto 🤝 this connect in my brain

uh. ianto getting a job at torchwood. :)

just think it fits. so

4. tonight you are mine - the technicolors

idk if it really happened or did i think about it so much in my brain its real but wasnt there a moment where ianto asks jack like. why would you choose earth or do you miss your time or sth like that and i feel like thats a thing he could also ask there. :) and i like the song

5. ruby dress skinny dog - curly heads

honestly this is the only lyrics here because i thought of the weevils and i was obsessed with this song i hate you dawid podsiadlo this is the only song of yours i will listen to

also this after iantos death and jack being hashtag sad

6. starman - david bowie

listen i just fucking saw a great 10th doctor/jack edit on tiktok and listened to starman one night and started genuinely crying real tears rolling down my face so its not exactly janto but jack but its still hear because i say so

7. take it out on me - thousand foot krutch

BANGER of a song i love it so much. the thing with this playlist is that i remember finding songs that had lyrics that fit but the whole thing was to make a character playlist i cant listen to without more than like two skips so its all songs i found/still find amazing. anyways i was going somewhere with connecting it to janto but i think it mightve been for my short and quickly killed idea abt them havign a sad argument over Something. its a banger just appreciate it

8. down when im not - greg puciato

the first two are like. cuz ianto was lying abt lisa jack was lying abt the children or like . omitting i guess but im sure they lied to each other at one point and they could stop

9. the last of the real ones - fall out boy

just. fucking. the entire song come on

THESE LAST TWO ESPECIALLY!!!!!!!!! idk i love the idea of ianto having at least one time issue with jack living so much and being like. you wont remember me you mustve had so many people and you never talk abt them etc

10. our lady of sorrows - my chemical romance

one bc i HAD to have mcr song up in this bitch two because come ON one of The mcr lyrics and it fits i had to

11. emptiness is a closet full of your old clothes - wishing

GOD okay the thing here is. if you ask me whats my song like the song thats Mine it would be this one ive been listening to this shit since october 2019 and had it on repeat in my worse time of life ever and according to last fm i listened to it 3963 times. so. anyways its a very important song and it fits because come ON the thing where ianto hugs jacks coat. come on.

12. blow my brains out - jerranis

this one was also put here with a specific scenario i made up and dont remember put mostly becasue this.

but now that i think about it this is 100% a jack/john hart so. sorrey i guess

13. kiss me you animal - burn the ballroom

uhm.

i know its a sex thing in the song i think but it fits so i dont care its generally a horny song

14. nanoże - waluśkraksakryzys

walus i love youuuuu anywayyy mainly this but also

because i really liked the idea of ianto being annoyed at them giving him the coffee boy job at first or sth . there was an idea over there

15. give me love - the used

the used hiiiiii haii the used hiii

jack turning full torchwood mode or something and stuff. generally waving my arms around.

16. scared as all hell - modern day escape

one of THE songs ever to me. apparently no lyrics to this song exist online anywhere??? im the first person to think of adding lyrics????? but yeah i love this song and it fits but i cannot tell you why right now

17. ill be late for my funeral - the requiem (unavailable on spotify)

its on youtube btw if u wanna listen to it but . yeah again jack losing memories

and there was some jack angst here in my brain but i cant remember what exactly. probably jack being depressed about being immortal

18. of all the gin joints in all the world - fall out boy

jack being like that cuz ianto looks up to him but he doesnt know everything about him and thinking how itd be to just be a normal not immortal guy

jack "wasting time" on being alive and aging and normal because i love that for him and then it was about ianto.

19. heart heavy - secondhand sound

ianto after lisa i think would prefer to be left alone and figure it all out and in my perfect made up world this is what itd be like <3

20. captain spacey - sonic sea turtles

genereally the whole song cuz its space themed and stuff but mostly this lyrics because i was crazy about jack feeling like he doesnt belong on earth cuz hes immortal and not like he should be . if that makes sense i love angst my best friend pain and suffering

[nmshostclub]

-Senpai: Ai ships you with …….. Takeru-senpai!!

-A lucky item:

  Tea packets. At one store in the crowded market there's a small shop that sells herbs and tea packets. The owner has their shelves stocked with tea that claims to do many things. Able to help the consumer deal with things that may trouble them.

  Lack of sleep, anxiety, and e.t.c.

 So whenever you go to the market, don’t forget to check that small store for some more teas and herbs.

-First encounter:

It’s been a busy day at the cafe. You’re trying your best to finish orders. Getting slowly overwhelmed with the crowd, but you pushed through. You just have to.

You’re a table away from a customer, then you feel a nudge on your shoulder. Pushing you down. Slipping and falling on your plate full of drinks.

  Your dress is soaked in warm coffee and iced tea. Even a slice of pie was crushed under your knees. You then quickly pulls out a towel from your apron, apologizing as you tried to clean up the mess.

People helped pick up some of the cups or plates. Some chipped, broken or saved from the fall.

That’s when the boy that pushed you on accident rushes down and helps. Telling you over and over it was his fault, telling you how sorry he is.

 You just shake off his nice words, mumbling some back to ease him. You rush up, collecting the rest of the dishes. Running off to the back to clean yourself up. Not before a brown-haired boy catches a glance at your face. Caught off guard on how fast you ran out, quitting the title of ‘center of the attention’.

Recognizing those same features from a girl he knew before as everyone picked on the guy that accidentally pushed you down. He couldn’t help but think of someone he used to know.

  The little girl that lived next door to him a few years before.

-Interactions:

Takeru will watch you a little closer after that accident. Offering help for the cafe or with anything really. Even told you that he could help with the after-school orders if he has time.

At first, you wonder why this upperclassman is being so nice to you. It isn’t until later he introduced himself. That’s when the questions that sat in the back of your head were answered.

                You always knew he looked familiar.

Whenever you thought about the boy next door from some years ago, you got a bittersweet taste, but that feeling became a mushy mess. Like mashed potatoes with a touch of something sweet.  Honey maybe.

You warmed up to him again, finding out that he’s still the same kid from before. Just with changes here and there. You slowly start letting him into your life again, meeting up to walk home after school or just stopping by the corner store.

  However, you can’t help but put some distance between you two. Takeru knows about your trust issues, so he can’t help a feel a little hurt that you have these feeling towards him now.

  Nevertheless, Takeru respects them. As much as he wants the old times back, he has to earn your friendship like he did before.  

     ~

On a day out with his aunt and cousins at the petting zoo, he sees a figure that looks like you. After some awkward investigation, he catches a glance of the stranger’s face. Knowing those features from anywhere, he knew it’s you.

He never thought he would encounter you here at the petting zoo.  He remembers would calm you were when you were around animals, always wanting to pet the nearby dog or cat you saw.    

  Then that’s when he remembered how you volunteer to get the community hours you needed for school. Plus, you had a little pin on your shirt that said so. Takeru tells himself he ought to go over and say hey. Before he could call out her name, he hears your voice first.   

Hearing your long conversation …… with the goat. However, as weird as that may sound it…..okay it does sound pretty weird, but it was a conversation that still flowed together. Even if one of them just answered with ‘baaaaaas’.

 You expressed your daily troubles. All the little worries that built up to a fear.  A huge fear that killed you every day.

  You weren’t always all sunshine and smiles, in the end, you were just a girl who has some trouble. Troubles that stopped you having peace of mind.

  Takeru couldn’t help, but feel terrible. He felt like a stranger.

 He has been gone for so long and everything just changed. Takeru felt like it was his fault for setting up ‘wonderful’ ideas and expectations without truly talking to you or learning more about you.  The new you, not the five- year old you.

  In a way, he felt that he has to help you in a small way.  It wasn’t his place to do so, but he just wanted one real smile from you. Not like simple ones that could be passed in the school’s hallways, but one that a generic. One that said, “I’m glad you’re here.”  

However, as Takeru makes this his new goal, he gets caught by you. Scaring him when you ask,

      “How long were you hiding behind that tree?”

-Confession:  

 “You’re the best thing since sliced bread.”

  The most “clever” line you wrote on a simple thank-you card. One that you had decided to write as you put together a little gift basket for Takeru. Just for everything he has done so far.   

  Lately, he has helped you with the cafe during after school hours if he wasn’t in tutoring with Touru. Washing the dishes or checking inventory for you. All to take a bit of stress off your shoulders and you felt like you had to show your gratitude for his actions.

  You stopped by his house to drop off the gift, ringing the doorbell only to see Takeru’s mother. Who smiled brightly. She jumped up with questions, asking in the end if you wanted to stay for dinner.

  You opened your mouth to say something before Takeru finally came in the picture. Saving you from his mother’s eagerness on having you here. Asking you why you came like this, is anything wrong?

  That was your cue to tell him the explanation of why you were on his doorstep unannounced like this. That’s when the card that was tied on the handle of the gift basket fell. Reaching for it, Takeru saw the writing inside. Reading it quickly before a small smile appeared on his face.   

    “You’re the best thing since sliced bread,” he quoted.

Gushing inside with joy as his cheek glowed softly while the sun shined brightly. Making your hair shimmer in light tones.

  “Dang, if that’s your way of telling me ‘I love you’ then I think you’re the best thing to happen since sliced bread too,” Takeru added. Taking his eyes off the thank-you card, looking back to you.

  Watching his face turn to an eggshell white when he asks, “I didn’t say that loud right?”

  And that, my children, is the story how our dear Takeru spilled the beans about his feelings. It also didn’t help when he was trying to explain what he meant by that after. Throwing out all his feeling about her and regretting it the moment they came out of his mouth.  In fear of being rejected.

  Only till you told him that to returned those same feeling for him.

-First date/type of dates frequented:

 Small dates in the cafe or out on the town. Hit up the local noodle shop for a quick meal before going in and checking out the art galleria.

  Dates depend on the weather. If it’s chilly or rainy then a puzzle and movie marathon are in order. Or if you guys want to take it slow, during November this types of dates are more common with all the essays deadlines or tests coming up in the school year.  Doing this all as the cafe’s pets are at their feet. Sleeping or so.

Dates that involves going outside are ones that can be to the gaming shop or to an animal cafe to check the animals out. Trying your best to resist the urge of adopting one.

THE FIRST KISS:  

   Your first kiss went something like this- awkward and messy.

  The first attempt ending up being the both of you bumping noses during a study date. Takeru making you laugh as he put in different terms in google translator. You found your old “Learn Any Language Fast and Quick” book. One that you remember getting a yard sale when you were young. Takeru was invited over to help prove this 10 or something year old book to be a scam. Or you could rule the world with learning a new language at record speed.

  Instead, he was here making you laugh. You told him to stop, but it just made it worst as your sides started to hurt.

You turn around to see Takeru’s face, then BAM! It happened, you’re so close at that moment and you just go for it.

Messing it up with your poor aim.

After a while of plain embarrassment, the both of you tried to pass it off with nervous laughter. You held back your fears as you decided to look past it. Reaching the book, going on to chapter 4.

Before Takeru took you chin and quickly pecking your lips. His cheeks dyed in harsh red color as he mumbles,

  “There. See that wasn’t that hard.”

-Long-term relationship:

  You were a bit distant in the beginning, ‘ghosting’ him when it came to texting up until a habit was built. Texting him back more and more than leaving him on read.

He helped you so much in the cafe that you even let him come in early to help with the baking. One time you forgot about the whole baking part and ended up having a dance party as you listened to the radio. Not hearing the doorbell go and ring as the door was opened.

Giving Takeru a view of what happens in the closed kitchen. Not helping to smile as you skipped, slid, and shaking your way around the kitchen. All while mixing up cookie batter. After you notice him in the room, you made him swear not to tell anyone about your dance moves.    

A new bond was created between you two. He supports you so much and the fact he’s straightforward with you is a perk at times. He just doesn’t want to let you slip through his fingers again. Letting you know how he feels and asking how you doing at the beginning and end of every day. Being there to talk.

The walks back home are pretty therapeutic, since the cold breezes and the smooth conversations can easily distress you.  Soon becoming the cure for some daily troubles, of course, you would still have those days, where getting out of bed will be tough. -But Takeru will be there, texting you, calling you. Telling you sweet words and dropping some advice about the situation. From things he read or just in his own options.

This relationship can have two sides. The classic romance novel or the anime brother and sister relationship.  Since with how much he cares and checks up on you, it’s almost like how a mama bear would be to her cubs.

He just really loves you. And he’s not afraid to show it. Unless you’re too embarrassed about it in public, then secret kisses are in order.

Skate n’ date

Robin Buckley x fem reader

Fluff

(A/n: might do a max or Chrissy things soon, also gonna do a master list soon :p also I might do another one-shot involving my mother language)

Not proof read

♡︎ It was nearing the end of robins shift, she was waiting for a specific someone. That specific someone was you, you had told her a day prior that you would take her on a surprise date, the only thing you had told her was to wear socks. Robin thought it was a weird request but she obliged, not questioning you any further. You were running a bit late making sure you looked perfect for Robin and the date (even tho Robin says you look perfect no matter what)

You had just parked when Robin had finished her shift and starting to walk out after she clocked in. “Hey baby! Are you ready?” You ask getting out of your car and walking over to Robin so you can then open up the car door for her. “Ready then I’ll ever be pretty girl.” She says before giving you a small ‘thank you’ before you start to go to your side slightly flustered because of the pet name. “Sooooo, where are we going?” Robin questions while you start to back up out of the driving lot and going onto the main road to start the drive to your guys’ location. “Like i said Baby surprise!! You’ll just have to wait and see. Besides that, how was work?”

“Eh, same old same old, boring as ever, barely getting any customers and Keith being a lazy ass.” Robin tells you before going into more details about her day whilst she makes hand movements. You smile softly, loving the way she rambles, you love her voice, it felt like music to your ears, her slight harsh raspy voice that makes you feel like a 12 year old girl seeing her favorite boy band live. You seriously can’t get enough of her voice, luckily for you she’s a little chatter box so you get this luxury a lot.

“-and that’s when I told them we didn’t have footloose, but then they started going bananas telling me to get my manager!! But kei-“ Robin says before you cut her off. “Sorry for cutting you off baby, but we’re here now!” You tell Robin while getting out of the car and going to her side and opening up the door. After she stepped out and just stood there while you had to get something from the back seats of your car, Robin had spoke up.

“Babe, you didn’t tell me we were going to the roller rink! I would’ve practiced, I totally suck at this shit. And plus your super amazing at this kinda stuff!” Robin says slightly defeated and throwing her arms down her sides and not as crossed before. “Baby it’s fine, I’ll teach you cmon! We’ll have a fun time I promise!” You tell her while you finish up grabbing your skates and closing the door and walking with her to the entrance of the building. Robin just sighs whilst you put your arm around hers and going to pay for you guys.

“Did you wanna get your skates while I go get us some slushies at the convenience stand?” You ask Robin while she watches you put on your skates. “I-uh, yeah I guess, alright I’ll be back pretty girl.” She says before walking off and standing in line looking at the watch on her wrist. Your slightly flustered when you stand up and start getting you guys slushies and some snacks as well. After you finish and pay for the snacks you grab everything and start making your way to Robin, who is now starting to put her skates on, but is having a hard time trying to tighten them enough. “Oh baby, here, let me help you tighten them so you don’t get hurt.” You tell Robin while putting the snacks and slushies down and kneeling by robins feet to really tighten up those laces enough. Robins staring at you with such a delightful face, asking herself on how she got so lucky with a girlfriend like you.

“Anddddd, done! Cmon baby, I’ll help you stand up” you say while also standing up from your kneeling position and putting your hand out for Robin to take. Robin says a quick ‘thanks pretty girl’ getting you flustered, but then she takes your hand and starts to get up, but before you know it, she’s on the ground. You giggle a lil before speaking up, “cmon baby, keep your feet planted, no on the heel stuff, alright?” You sigh still with a smile on your face and your face slightly red, you now put both your hands out for Robin to take, she takes them both but now she finally stands up with out falling. “Jesus that was hard, why did you have to take the most clumsiest person you know.” Robin speaks out before you guys start wobbling over to the wooden rink (it was mainly Robin wobbling but you didn’t have to know that) “hehe, I might’ve forgotten, but anyways, here’s the main part, you can stay on the wall, but to go forward, make sure your knees are slightly bent and also from one foot to another.” You tell Robin while holding the small of her back when she clings both her hands to the wall. “Oh, alright- uh yeah, sounds great babe-“ Robin says, slightly constipated sounding.

“Here- how bout this? I hold you hand and I skate while you just try to skate. Does that sound like a plan?” You ask Robin with a slight plead, she looks over your features, she’s slightly scared, what if she falls which makes you also fall and you get injured, or what if she only gets injured, or what if only you get inju- robins thoughts gets interrupted when you start to hold her hand and pull her gently. “Stop it Baby i know that face, cmon it will be fun I promise!” You tell her while you slightly pull her. She finally agrees and starts to un-cling herself to the wall. You start to smile extra big and slowly start to skate while pulling Robin behind you, it was crazy how you did this with no care. Robin was admiring you with so much love and wonder, you were so care free and didn’t care what other thought about or what mean things they had to say, even tho they might call you some slurs such as dyke, you didn’t care, all you cared about was being with your lovely girlfriend and letting everyone know that she was your girlfriend. You wanted everyone to know who was the best person thing to ever happen to you, so what you were head cheerleader? That didn’t matter to you, you just wanted to be with Robin.

Robin was taken out of her trance when you grabbed her other hand and started spinning you guys. “Cmon robin! It’s our song! Lets spin, skate, and dance a little bit!” You say with so much love in your voice to robin, you were so lucky to be with her, you loved her more than life can give. When it was coming to the end of the song you pulled robin into you, slightly closing the space in between you guys and you gave her a kiss. It wasn’t a sexual one, or one of need, it was a kiss filled with love, and just so much happiness. You wanted to tell robin how much you loved her, but you could never find the right words to tell her. You pulled away from her with the biggest smile ever, you giggled a lil before starting to drag her some more.

“The roller rink is now closing, please turn in all skates to the return counter!” The man on the intercom said, you started to pull robin off of the roller rink as she actually tried to actually skate, key word, tried. You continued to hold her hand all the way to take off your guys’ roller skates. After y’all put them away, you started to walk out with Robin with your hand in hers. “Thank you so much baby, I had such a fun day.” You tell her slightly running rubbing your thumb on her hand. “Even tho it was super hectic, I also had a great time, thank you so much for one of the best dates ever pretty girl.” Robin says as you guys make it to the car and you opening up the door for her. You start making your way to the other side and after you close your door, you start to look at robin, who was already looking at you with a slight smile. She leans into you and gives you a kiss. “Cmon lets go home baby, we’ve had a long day and I could really use some cuddles.” Robin tells you while hold ong your hand in the middle of your car as you start driving off. “Yes of course, how could I forget, the best thing ever. Cuddling with you.” You tell her as you guys start the drive home to your house.

[nushy]

i'm too depressed to think so here you go.

part 3 is up.

(you can find pt.1 here and pt.2 here)

pairing: eddie munson x fem!reader

summary: you are the new girl in town and Eddie is seeing something he likes. And you too. (i am sooooo bad at summaries)

warnings: a lot of spelling and grammar errors (sorry, english is not my native language), i guess cursing and strong language??

idk it's kinda fluffy and sweet.

other than that, this is pretty boring part.

..............................................................................................................................

“I’m telling you, we spent the weekend together” Eddie tried to convince the other boys from the Hellfire club, but they were buying none of his shit.

“Eddie, yesterday you said you were sick and that this is why we won’t be playin’. Now you say that you were with a girl.” Gareth looked him in the eyes, waiting for the truth.

“Yeah, we know that you feel bad cause we have girlfriends and you don’t but you don’t have to lie to us. We are your friends.” Mike said, Eddie looked him with lightings in his eyes.

“I’m not lying. She is perfect, you will love her.”

“Yeah, if she even exists.’’ Jeff scoffed. At this point Eddie was ready to kill someone. Then he saw you, walking in the lunch room, heading straight to the Hellfire club’s table. On the way there you slowed down while walking past the basketball team, looking at the boy you punched and smiling at him. Truth is, you were pretty chill about the whole situation, cause you knew the guys like him – you’ve injured his ego, so he wouldn’t make it a big problem – he would never go to the principal and say that a girl almost broke his nose, what would the other boys think about him??

You got to the boys’ table and stood next to Eddie in your whole awesomeness – once again you were with a short black skirt and black band t-shirt, this time you wore and your favorite pair of fishnets. Everyone was watching you, some of the boys with open mouths.

“Hello, boys. I’m Y/N, and I’m almost sure that Eddie has already told you about me. Cause I’ve heard a lot about you.” You said with strong voice and sat between Dustin and Eddie. Eddie’s grin was so big that his cheeks were starting to hurt. He mouthed “told you” at the boys. Dustin was first to speak, but what he said was the stupidest shit he could come up with:

“So you are real and Eddie wasn’t lying?” you burst out laughing, and if looks could kill, Dustin would be already dead by Eddie’s glance.

“Yeah… last time I checked I was pretty real. But you never know.” you took a big bite of you sandwich and looked at all of the boys. “What? You’ve never seen a girl? Talk.” You laughed and that lightened the atmosphere.  The boys at the table started talking between each other, still avoiding you. Not that you cared, you turned to Eddie and smiled. He looked you with his puppy eyes and said without any sound “thank you”, you nodded and grabbed his arm, playing with his rings. You were really starting to have a ring kink. Especially Eddie’s rings kink. You face-palmed yourself in your mind. Stop thinking about those things, you said to yourself. But you really couldn’t – you were feeling a bit horny lately, and the past two nights, after leaving Eddie’s trailer all you could think about was how he would look like on top of you. Did he think about you the same way? You could not guess – he was playful, he used every moment he could to touch you, to hug you, to look at you, but this could mean nothing. Ugh, you were going crazy. And even tho that you tried to look confident on the outside when you were among people, on the inside you were far from that. Especially when it came down to Eddie.

Lunch time was over so you said goodbye to the boys, staying a little bit longer with Eddie. He smiled at you shyly. You smiled back. What was this boy doing to you?

“I have a job interview in the afternoon, at the music store.” you said quietly.

“Cool. If you get the job, I will move to live there and listen to all of the new albums.” He wrapped his arm around your shoulders as you walked to your next class. You chuckled.

“So, we will be living together?” the answer just jumped out of your mouth. You silently cursed yourself.

“Sounds good. At least I won’t be alone.” the boy said casually. Your heart started beating incredibly fast. Then he changed the topic. “You free tonight? My uncle is at the plant, and I don’t wanna watch scary movies all by myself. I need my knight in shining armor.” he squeezed your arm and looked you with his big eyes. How could you say no to that?

“Okay, but dinner’s on me. I’m making pasta.” you said and his eyes lit up. You knew it was his favorite, he said it sometime over the weekend and you remembered.

“Deal.” the two of you shook hands and parted as you had different classes.

A LOVER OF A SERIAL KILLER (PT 3.)

(Pairing: Ryan Erzahler/Dylan Lenivy)

(Trigger Warning: Same as before)

Friday Evening. Tonight was the planned date night that Ryan set up for him and Dylan to have after the little encouragement from Kaitlyn and Emma. He needed this escape. The killings and this phantom killer us taking a little toll on Ryan just a tad bit. Just starting in the mirror after checking his tie for the hundredth time, Ryan sighed and looked at the time. It was close to the time to meet up. Ryan grabbed his wallet and keys and headed out the door.

Ryan arrived at Smokey River Restaurant in the city. It was a nice chill place. Ryan got sat at the table near the back. It gave them a little more privacy and a nice cool gentle breeze coming in. It was perfect. Ryan had ordered a whole bottle of expensive red wine that would go well with their dinner. Ryan winced at the thought about how Dylan will damage his wallet after tonight.

7:45pm. Dylan is fifteen minutes late. Ryan sighed. He had a feeling that he was going to be stood up. Ryan wasn't mad at it. A little disappointed, but not mad. Ryan was just about to call the waiter over for the check.

"Sorry I'm late, handsome."

Ryan looked up and seen Dylan with that same smile that burned in Ryan's mind since they met the first time. Ryan kept his composure a bit. He didn't want Dylan to know it did bother him a bit. He eyed Dylan's outfit. Nice dark jeans with a designer button up shirt. Ryan shrugs a bit to give Dylan an answer.

"Well at least some of us know how to be somewhere on time."

Dylan sat down with a laugh. "Why do you keep on wounding me? I'm starting to think you like to do that to me for fun."

Ryan shrugs. "Just telling the truth. Not my fault you can't handle it."

"Oh, I can handle plenty."

Ryan shook his head as Dylan threw a smile at him. "Sooooo, Ryan. Tell me about yourself."

"Um like what?"

"Anything. Favorite hobbies. Favorite color. Music or no? Cats or Dogs? Pineapple on a Pizza?"

"Is that really all relevant?"

"Yes."

Ryan sighed. This was expected for a first date. Ryan caved and just gave Dylan a run down about himself. Dylan learned that Ryan loves the color green. The darker, the better. Music is his favorite past time. He wish he got into the musical arts but he does play a little piano. He prefer dogs over cats but he doesn't hate cats. Pineapple on a pizza is ok but it isn't his go to. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is the worst on his list. Dylan face dropped in shock when he learned that Ryan was a goth kid in school.

"No. Way. No way you were a goth kid!" Dylan laughed.

"I really was." Ryan chuckled.

"You mean with the dark make up and fish nets?"

"No. I did have my nails painted black, ripped jeans and even wore silver chains."

"I can picture you all brooding and menacing" Dylan said.

"I wasn't brooding or menacing. I just wanted to be left alone." Ryan sipped his wine. "So your turn."

"Fair." Dylan laughed. "Well obvious I love music. You know DJ Dyl."

"Hm. Cute."

"I know thanks. Uh my favorite color is clear. I love cats they are my favorite--"

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa....hang on." Ryan interrupted. "Did you just say that your favorite color is clear?"

Dylan nods. "I did."

"Dude, clear isn't a color."

"Yeah it is."

Ryan looked at Dylan like he said something out of left field. " ....No. No it isn't."

"It's a color and nobody can tell me other wise."

"I...ok."

"As I was saying. My favorite color is clear. I love cats. They are adorbs. Well my cat, Schrodinger. She is just the cutest."

"What's a Schr--din---er?"

"Schrodinger! My cat. Pay attention, Ry-Ry."

"I know, but I meant to say...nevermind."

Dylan laughed. Dylan proceed to talk. He despises pineapple on pizzas. Pineapple only belongs on ice cream or baked on a ham. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is his jam. It has to be a certain brand tho. And in school, Dylan was a book worm.

"You? A book nerd? Unbelievable." Ryan said.

"What do you mean? I won pretty much all the Science Fair there is. They had to ban my ass from competition to let the other kids get the opportunity." Dylan said proudly.

"That's kinda impressive" Ryan said.

"Damn right it is. I even thinking about studying Quantum Physics."

"Quantum Physics, huh? That's pretty extreme."

Dylan smiled. "And challenging. Which I enjoy if you can't tell."

Ryan chuckled with Dylan. The waiter walked over with a smile.

"Good Evening. I'm glad you are enjoying one of our finest wine. Would you like an starter or are you two ready for the main course?"

Dylan flips open the menu. "Your delicious rolls are good as a starter already so, I think we will go straight to the main course." Dylan look over to Ryan. "Right, babe?"

Ryan almost choked on his drink after he heard Dylan call him babe. "Uh--uh yeah. Yeah. Right." Ryan looked at the menu. "Um..your Shrimp Linguine sounds good. I'll like that with extra lemon sauce on the side."

"Excellent choice, sir." The waiter writes down the order. "And for you, sir?" The waiter looks over to Dylan.

Dylan scanned the page he was on and points to it. "This one."

The waiter looks. "Ah. The Porterhouse Steak dinner."

Ryan eyes snapped wide. "That what?!"

"Porterhouse dinner. How would you like your steak?"

"Medium Well. And I want the sides that comes with it as is."

"Wonderful sir! You can upgrade with either Shrimp Kabobs or Jumbo Crab Cake with it."

"Ohh a Surf and Turf combo! I'll take the crab cake! Broiled!"

"W--What? Hang on!" Ryan said.

Dylan handed the waiter the menus. "Thank you." The waiter left. Dylan smiled over to Ryan who was sitting there in disbelief. "Are you alright?"

"I just wondering what the hell did you do."

"What exactly did I do?"

"A porterhouse steak? Plus a crab cake? Do you know how much that will cost?!"

"Why Ry-babe, you don't think I'm worth it?" Dylan faked frown.

"I didn't say that."

Dylan smiled. "So, you do think I'm worth it?"

"I didn't say that neither."

Dylan laughed. "Then, I don't see any problems."

Ryan sighed. He knew he wouldn't win against Dylan. After a while, their dinner came. They were enjoying their company. Light conversations here and there. Ryan actually glad that Kaitlyn and Emma talked him into going with this. Even tho Dylan is...something, he can admit that Dylan is fun to be around with.

"So, I wouldn't mind see you work as DJ Dylan." Ryan said.

Dylan took another swig of his wine. "Really?"

"Yeah. I would. I want to know your taste in music."

"Well, DJ's don't have a particular taste. Everybody has a different taste in music. So, I practically listen to all music."

"Is there a particular kind you enjoy the most.?"

Dylan thought about it. "Hmmm. Hard to tell, but classic rock is what I currently like. A bit of Pink Floyd, Guns And Roses, ACDC those classics."

Ryan nods. "Nice."

"How about you?"

"Oh. Well, I'm on a Green Day kick."

"Nice choice!" Dylan smiled.

Dylan and Ryan fell into a comfortable talk as the waiter came and asked for dessert. Ryan was going to decline, but of course Dylan wanted dessert. The dessert came and it was big to feed four people. Ryan once again stared at Dylan in disbelief. Dylan smiled like a kid in a candy store. It was a six layered Chocolate Strawberry Cake. With Chocolate Mousse and Strawberry Jam in between. Dylan took a bite and moaned.

"Oh....My....God! Ry! You have to try this!"

Ryan raised his eyebrow. "No thanks I'm full."

Dylan scooped a piece on his fork. "Come on Ry! Try it. Please?!" Dylan held his fork over to Ryan.

Ryan sighed and leaned over and take the bite. Dylan was right this was delicious. "....Ok. Not bad."

"Not bad? No, this is hitting!" Dylan smiled. "From now on, this is our dessert."

"....Our dessert?" Ryan had to ask to make sure if that was what he heard.

"Yes. Ours."

Ryan shook his head. Somehow they managed to finish off the dessert and Ryan will regret it later. When it was time for the check, Ryan literally almost had a heart attack.

" $294.56" Ryan had to read that again.

Dylan smiled. "Hey, it's worth it. I mean you're out on a hot date." Dylan winked at Ryan.

Ryan shook his head and paid the bill. After paying, Dylan and Ryan walked outside. Dylan stretched. "Ry-Ry, that was the best. I had a wonderful time."

"I hope that you enjoyed yourself. My wallet surely didn't."

Dylan laughed. "So, shall I walk you to your car?"

"No thanks. I had to get valet."

"Ahhh."

"How about you?"

"Oh, I took the bus."

Ryan eyes widen. "The bus?"

Dylan shrugs nonchalantly. "Yeah. I don't live far from here. I hop on the bus and go 5 miles and boom, I'm home."

"Well, it's late. I could give you a ride."

Dylan laughed. "Ryan, I'll be ok. I'm a big boy. Nobody will fuck with me."

Ryan frowns. Dylan smiled and went to kiss Ryan's cheek. Ryan eyes widen shock. Dylan pulled away slightly.

"Don't worry Ryan. I'll be fine. I promise" Dylan said with a soft voice. "I'll see you tomorrow, handsome." Dylan said as he placed a hand on Ryan's cheek softly. "Have a goodnight, Ryan."

Ryan snapped out of his shock as he felt Dylan's hand move from his cheek. Dylan smirked and turned around. He made a peace sign before stuffing his hands in his pockets and walked into the night. Ryan touched the cheek where Dylan kissed and didn't hear the valet worker walked up. Ryan finally noticed the worker and got his keys. Ryan definitely will see Dylan again.

Ahhh I’m bit late but here is my part of the BNHarem ~*Collab*~

Title: Call Me

Pairing: F!reader X Maijima Higari (Power Loader)

Rating: E

Word Count: 5.8k

Warnings: Smut, sex work, older man younger woman 

Higari sighs, his metal tipped fingers tapping on his work table 11pm, 11 pm and he still had so much to do. Normally he relished having work to do, rather being a busy bee than not, but lately the stress had been catching up to him. The academic year was in full swing, and with more villain activity than usual he was beginning to wear...A lot of his projects (pet projects) were starting to fall behind because frankly he was too stressed and found himself getting upset with himself when he made mistakes or miscalculations, which seemed to be happening a lot in his overall raised tension.

Realizing he wasn't going to make any progress aside from going in circles. He slumps, plunking down onto the stool next him, thumping his head against the metal of the workbench and just...sitting there allowing himself to cool off...or perhaps it was wallow…

Bzzzzz bzzzzzzz he feels it as much as he hears it as an incoming text reverberates through his skull. He tilts his head, just enough to glare at his cellphone on the far end of the workbench; he could ignore it, he could...but he doesn't. With a groan he sits up leaning over to swipe the phone up to see the notification.

Oh...Nemuri.

"Heeeyyyyy, how you doing???" She follows up with a few heart emoji.

To someone on the outside looking in it might seem like she’s flirting, or that they had something going on. But he and Nemuri had been good friends for so long that he doubts he could ever see her as anything but.

"Fine" He types out simply, not in the mood for banter, he hopes she's not putting together a last minute bar hop.

"Ooooo"

"That rough huh?" 

"Stressed?"

The texts come in rapid succession. He sighs.

"I'm fine" He repeats; though it's nice to have someone that worries about you from time to time.

It takes her a moment to respond, he can see the little typing indicator, bounce along the bottom off his screen and then stop and then start again.

"Did you call her yet?? 👀👀👀" Her response finally comes and he groans.

He had a feeling she was going to bring this up sooner or later.

"No I haven't called her yet" He replies, grumbling to himself as he hits send harder than he needs to.

"You should, she could really help you relax 😌" He can practically hear he voice through the illuminated text on his screen, goading him.

He can feel his face heat up, he wasn't a prude...this was just...he wasn't a prude!

"Kayama" now beginning to wish he never picked up the phone.

"It's not just about sex Maijima, where's your head??😏😏😏" now she was just being cruel, he shakes his phone in his gripe blowing out a puff of air, wishing he could berate her.

"In all seriousness tho, she can help you out, it's her job, she's really nice!" She adds.

He sighs, deflating a bit, mulling over the idea for a while...he thinks he still has the card Nemuri gave him. 

Reaching into the front pocket of his jeans he pulls out a crinkled card, oh, yeah he had definitely washed these pants a few times. Luckily the card had been printed on heavy sleek looking cardstock. And even with the edges slightly worn and the the paper somewhat crinkled, no expenses were obviously spared as the elegant type face remained readable even after a few trips through the wash...which was good for him because if it hadn't then he'd have to ask Nemuri for the details and that's something he would not want to live through. 

He sighs, looking from the card to his phone, weighing his options...he was very stressed and Nemuri said it didn't have to be about sex...not that he didn't like that! ...Damnit…

Suckling on his teeth he slowly punches in the number printed in embossed gold.

___________

You settle down into the pillows and blankets of your freshly laundered bed, wondering if you even want to try and read the next chapter in your book that sat on your nightstand. The sheets were still warm from the dryer and damn, it was tempting to just nestle in and go straight to bed.

BBBZZZZ BBBZZZ

Your brow furrows, the sudden sound brings you out of your very important and very difficult decision. For a moment the sound eludes you as you listen for it again.

BBBZZZZ BBBZZZ

Oh fuck that was your phone, your head whips to the nightstand again; the illuminated screen blocked by the book you had just been considering as the device vibrates beneath it.

You grumble, you know it could be a client but most of them had the decency to not call this late…well most of them did. 

Grabbing your phone you gaze down to the screen, cocking your head when you see a string of numbers you've never seen before, hmmm.

Reclining back into the comfort of your pillow pile you answer.

"Hello this is L/N F/N speaking." You say, all business; not one to ever come off as unprofessional even if it was a spam call.

There was a long pause; you almost repeat yourself when you hear someone clear their throat.

"Miss L/N, this is Maijima Higari....uhhh, Kayama Nemuri said I should contact you." His voice is soft baritone with a bit of gravel to it, he seems very uncertain, but you know who he is right away.

To be honest you had been quite curious about him since Nemuri had told you about her fellow hero and coworker.

You worked a lot with heroes, some high profile ones too, but you've never had a client that was also a support specialist, or as Nemuri had put it, a keen inventor. You were intrigued.

"Ah Mr. Maijima, Kayama mentioned you-" you begin.

"She did?" He interrupts and you can hear him shifting away from the phone "motherfucker"  you hear the breathy hiss, and you have to keep yourself under control because you did not want your first conversation with the man you had been interested in hearing from, to be you laughing at him.

He must have realized you can hear him because there's more scrambling on the other end of the line.

"Sorry 'bout that...Nemuri...likes to talk." He sighs.

You chuckle warmly; she had mentioned he was somewhat proud and what she called "aggressively" shy.

"She definitely can be quite the gossip." You reply and you hear him groan. "Though I assure you, it's all good things Mr. Maijima."

"Somehow that doesn't put me at ease at all…" he huffs, and you can't help but let out a small laugh.

There is a pause again, and you decide to gently encourage him.

"So what can I do for you Mr. Maijima?" You ask gently.

There's shifting on the other end of the line again and then a small cough.

"I've...I've been stressed lately, like...more than usual and Kayama said that you might be able to help with that." You can tell he's a bit uncertain on how to ask for your services.

"Of course, I'd be more than happy to help, just tell me what you need and I'll set up an appointment. " You recline further into your pillows.

"Uh well...fuck I've never done this before…" he sighs.

"That's perfectly alright." You reply, waiting for him to continue.

"...I-I don't know?" He says finally and you smile, you like when they're honest; not trying to show-off.

"Of course, we can figure everything out along the way." You hum and you hear him sigh in relief.

"Alright, yeah." 

"How about I put you in for this Friday at 8pm, I'll make sure that we have the whole night free to get you settled." You make a mental note to put that in your planner (not that you could forget, you were surprisingly eager to meet him.)

"Today's Wednesday." He says in reply.

"Yes?"

"So you mean in two days? The Friday in two days?" You suppress a chuckle; definitely needed to relieve some stress.

"If that's an issue I'd be happy to-"

"NO!...No it's fine, just surprised is all." His voice trails off and he clears his throat. "Sooooo so how do I do this?"

You pause for a moment considering. There are a few luxury hotels and venues you've preferred to use in the past...but...you decide to throw caution to the wind.

"Let me give you my address." You reply, a very rare option you give to only your most trusted clients; but he was good friends with Nemuri and you trusted her judgement whole heartedly.

"Oh!...are you sure you're okay with that? I understand if you don't want to do that, safety and all, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" You smile, he was already quite the charmer even if he didn't know it yet.

"No need to worry, I wouldn't give it to you if I didn't want to." 

"Okay, if you're okay with it." He replies warily and you smile to yourself.

"I'll send you a follow up text with my address and a reminder of the time; is this an okay number to send that to?"

"Oh yeah, sure."

"Perfect, well Mr. Maijima, I'll let you go and I'll send you my info."

"Yeah, sure...uh thanks for this Miss L/N." He replies.

"It's my pleasure." You reply.

He gives you a quick goodbye and then the line goes quiet; chuckling to yourself you scoot down further into your blankets and quickly add Maijima Higari to your schedule. Before opening Maijima's number and adding it to your contact list.

Nemuri definitely seems to have good taste in friends (well you're one of them.) He has certainly caught your attention...in a good way.

_______

Higari groans, while body deflating as his muscles relax somewhat...that was one of the most nerve-racking calls he'd ever made.

God he probably sounded like an idiot. 

Huffing, he looks back at his phone and opens up his chat with Nemuri.

"I called her" he writes before getting up from his workbench with a groan, back popping as he stretches.

His phone buzzes a moment later.

“Maijime it’s like 11:30 at night!” Nemuri’s text reads; he pales and looks at the time on his phone. 

Fuck....now he felt like an ass. He goes to respond, not even sure if he should defend himself or brush it off when another text comes in from a new number. Cocking his head he swipes it open.

“Hello Mr. Maijime, it was a pleasure speaking with you tonight, I have you all booked for Friday at 8pm and I look forward to spending time with you.” he swallows thickly, reading over the message a few more times, taking note of the little hearts on the end.

“This is her job, this is her job, she’s just being nice…”  he mentally berates himself.

Reading over the message one more time he responds.

“Thank you Miss L/N.” he pauses and then adds “Sorry ‘bout calling you so late, lost track of the time.” he hits send before he can chicken out, and shoves his phone in his front pocket; out of sight out of mind 

It’s only a few seconds before he hears the buzz of his phone again and he scrabbles to get it, not even sure why he put it away in the first place.

“Nothing to worry about sweetie, I’ll see you Friday.”

Higari decides he needs a very cold shower and then promptly after needs to put himself to bed...he’d deal with Nemuri tomorrow.

_______

You decide against the silk robe after some debate, donning luxurious Egyptian cotton instead. You'd rather not scare him off or look too presumptuous, after all he might be satisfied with your other talents, though Nemuri had said he could do with a good Fuck. You had of course laughed at her crassness, but you couldn't help but feel a spark of warmth in your belly, it surprised you, it had been awhile since you had, let alone for a potential client. 

You needed to be professional.

Giving yourself a once over in the mirror you found your attire agreeable. Your robe was a little longer than the ones you usually wore for your clients, coming to brush against your knees. But it was your favorite, plush and warm and while a bit promiscuous it was also classic. 

Your hair and makeup was in place and you gazed down to your phone

7:45pm

You hadn't received and cancelation call or text so at this point all you could do was wait.

Padding through your apartment on your way to the lounge you make a few quick mental notes.

Did you have both red and white wine as well as a few stiffer drinks just in case ready? Check.

Bottled water on ice as well and had you tea kettle ready with an assortment of teas just in case? Check and check

A few hors d'oeuvres, nothing too over the top? Check.

You come to settle on your favorite chaise as you finish your little check off; yes you believe you had everything ready…

Your intercom pings, and you quickly get to your feet and shuffle over, pressing the talk button.

"Yes?"

"Miss L/N, there is a Mr. Maijima here to see you." The doorman's voice responds.

"Yes of course please have him come up." 

"Of course ma'am."

To be honest no matter how long you had done this you could never quite figure out what to do with yourself while you wanted for a client to come up to meet you. Nothing ever seemed natural or smooth... it irked you. You wondered what other consorts did, maybe you should ask a few of your colleagues next time you go out for drinks-

There's a firm knock on your door, jarring you out of your thoughts. 

Giving yourself a quick once over you, smooth down your robe and slap on a warm smile before opening the door.

"Mr. Maijima, I'm so glad you came." You move out of the way, opening the door further to allow him in.

"Uh thanks, yeah me too." He lets out a nervous laugh as he shuffles inside. 

He was quite charming. Nemuri had shown you pictures but pictures can never do enough justice to some people. 

He was dressed in a bomber jacket, dark pull over and well worn jeans and boots. He looked comfortable, the perfect amount of dressed down; he looked like himself, not trying to put on airs like some of your clients. 

"Let me take your jacket while you get your shoes." You say warmly and he gingerly shrugs out of the fabric.

"Thanks." He replies as he leans down to untie his boots.

"Nice place you have here." He replies as he looks around from his lowered position. 

"Oh thank you!" You tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear as you look around your place fondly. "The main foyer is a bit much though." You add with a chuckle thinking to the decadence of the building's main entrance.

"Was pretty swanky." He replies nearly finished with his second boot.

"I assure you I'm much more down to earth." You reply and he perks up at that, you eye him curiously.

"Hehe, earth." He laughs and it takes you a moment to remember he's the Excavation hero and you let out a laugh, surprised by his humor.

"I wouldn’t have guessed you'd also be a man with a good taste in jokes." You reply and extend you hand out to him as he tucks his boots away. You have always been a fan of so-called bad jokes.

He seems to like that and puffs up with a smile, slipping his large hand into yours. Oh it was warm and rough; Nemuri did say he was good with his hands. 

"How about we settle in." You say nodding your head towards the lounge.

He nods and swallows thickly, still visibly unsure, but obviously not willing to back down.

You smile at him and gently lead him out of the entryway. 

As you lead him further into your apartment you had taken note that while he was untying his boots he could have very easily looked up your robe, but instead all of his attention was on you, his sharp grey eyes peeking out from a thick fringe of fiery hair. He was watching and listening to you not ogling you, it made your heart warm.

Yes, you had decided that he was certainly a catch.

You lead him into the lounge motioning for him to sit anywhere and he takes his place in one of the plush armchairs across from you chaise. You wish he would have opted for a closer seat but you want him to be comfortable first and foremost.

"Can I get you anything? Wine? Something stronger? Water, tea?" You ask.

"Uh water's fine right now, thanks." He replies and you crack open one of the water bottles and pour it into a crystal tumbler.

You hand it to him and leave the water bottle close to him on the coffee table.

"Thank you L/N." He replies and takes a sip.

"Please call me F/N." You say as you settle on your chaise, he pauses for a moment, mouth full before swallowing

"F/N…" he parrots, voice surprisingly gravelly despite the water he just drank.

You smile and nod your head.

He fiddles with the empty glass in his hands before looking up at you with genuineness; your heart flutters and you’re once again surprised by your feelings.

"Call me Higari."

_______

Higari slowly begins to relax as you talk, his posture loosening and his voice becoming less tense and formal. When he finally laughs fully at one of your jokes, you feel warmth wash over you in a pleasant wave of contentment. 

Despite his obvious relaxation you can’t help but notice he shifts every so often, adjusting his back or subtly rolling his neck. Small ques that make you realize that he wasn't only mentally stressed but physically as well. 

"Higari." You catch his attention as he excitedly tells you about a project he's working on. "Sorry to interrupt but is your back bothering you?" You ask softy and he blinks at you in surprise.

"Oh sorry, that noticeable?" He chuckles. "'S probably from hunching over a workbench all day." He's trying to wave it off, not make you worry.

"Would you mind if I used my quirk on you?" You ask gently, not wanting him to feel pressured. 

"Uuhhh, you haven't already?" He looks a bit confused and you can't help but let out a hearty laugh.

"Of course not, I would never use my quirk without your permission." You smile and you watch as his cheeks turn ruddy with blush. "Might I ask what you thought my quirk was doing all this time?"

He leans back a bit huffing softly to himself, trying to control his embarrassment. 

"Make me relax I guess?" He mutters under his breath and you smile fondly, happy that he truly was relaxed around you.

"You’re sweet, while my quirk does help people relax, I wasn't using it on you." You reply sitting up and gently patting the space next to you on the chaise. " could I show you, I'll stop if you don't feel comfortable."

He observes you for a moment, mulling over the idea or trying to pump himself up you're not exactly sure; but then he slowly gets to his feet and walks over to you.

"Never done this before…" he says softly as he looks down at you, trying hard to be open and honest.

It's one of the sweetest things you've ever had happen with a client and you gently take his hands and pull him down to sit next to you.

"That's perfectly alright, whatever you are comfortable with, whatever you want Higari." You say gently and give his hands a reassuring squeeze.

He looks down, his hands are so large in yours; turning them over in his he brushes the metal tips of his thumbs against your palms reverently, and you swoon a little bit. 

"Show me you quirk." 

You feel pride well in your chest.

"I would love to." You smile before adjusting a bit. "Lay down on your stomach, there should be enough room for you to lay down fully." 

He complies, seemingly throwing caution to the wind, but you can see the tremble in his arms as he lowers himself to the plush cushion of the chaise.

"I'm going to sit on your thighs is that alright?" You question.

It takes him a moment to respond and when he does it's a breathy "yes" and you're glad he's facing away from you so he doesn't catch the shiver that runs up your spine at the tone of his voice.

Slowly you crawl up his body, careful to let him feel every move, to let him know your position until you are sitting comfortably on his muscled thighs, your legs tucked on either side of him. He lets out a shaky sigh as you reach out and run your hands from his shoulder blades down to the small of his back.

"My quirk works best with skin to skin contact, you are certainly welcome to leave your shirt on or remove it." You begin your typical overview of your quirk when he moves beneath you suddenly, almost setting you off balance as he reaches behind his head. Fisting the fabric at his back and rucking it up over his head, fluffing up his hair as he does before letting the article of clothing crumple to the floor.

You're too surprised to move from his sudden boldness as he settles back down, neatly crossing his arms beneath his chin. 

After a few moments you manage to pull yourself together and you slowly, gently lay your hands back on his now bare shoulder blades and oh! Beneath your palms he is trembling; now you desperately wanted to sooth his frayed nerves.

"My quirk allows me to admit frequency through my skin, that I can channel into vibrations." You tell him gently as you smooth down his back again, slowly activating your quirk.

He tenses for a moment and then begins to relax into your touch.

"It can help muscle relaxation and promote blood flow." You continue as you knead a knot along his lat. 

"It ah- sounds like your quirk is definitely a benefit." His voice is breathy, almost sighing as he falls further into your touch.

"I like to think so too." You say fondly, you were really starting to enjoy his company and his kindness. "You were talking about one of your inventions earlier when I interrupted, I would very much like to hear more about it." And it was the honest to God truth.

He hums in contentment and from his position on his folded arms you can see a genuine smile grace his lips.

He quickly eases back into his explanation and his ideas as you allow you quirk to sink into his skin while you massage his tense muscles. Honestly you could listen to him talk for hours, even if you didn't quite understand some of it; it was fascinating and his passion and enthusiasm was a pleasant warmth that enveloped you.

Slowly his muscles begin to ease up under your ministrations and his voice begins to get more husky and more lax. You’re not exactly sure when he stopped talking but you suddenly notice the silence and the absence of his pleasant voice.

"F/N?" You blink, gazing up from you hands, to find Higari staring lazily up at you through the fringe of his hair. His stare is hypnotizing

"Yes?" Your voice is breathier than you would have liked.

For a moment he doesn't say anything and then he shifts, starting to roll on his side and you gingerly move to sit beside him, you barely have anytime to take in his sudden change when his large hand comes up, fingers brushing against your jaw tentatively.

"Can I kiss you?" He asks softly and you definitely swoon, you hand coming up to press his touch closer.

"I would like that very much." You hum, your blood singing at the thought of his lips on yours.

Slowly he rises up and you can feel him moving against you and as he does you feel his lower half brush against your hip and the strangest combination of pride and desire fills your chest as you feel the hardness straining against his jeans.

Everything seems to still for a brief moment and then his nose brushes against yours and you suck in a shaking breath as his lips press against yours.

It's like firecrackers, zipping along you skin, you feel your toes curl and you lean into him. He groans against you and slings his arm around your shoulders pressing you to him, your chest flush with his bare one. 

You sigh against him and he takes a moment to adjust, tilting his head, teeth clacking against yours as he slots himself against you.

You feel as though you are made of feathers, your whole body alight as you kiss him back feverishly. It's been awhile since you felt this and you can't get enough.

Letting out a small whine you smooth your hands down his ribs bringing them around to rest on his lower stomach; you feel the muscles jump against your fingertips and then he trembles against you letting out a wonderfully gravelly moan that reverberates in his chest. 

Then he's slowly pulling you back with him, laying back down against the chaise, tugging you on top of him. He pauses moving away to catch his breath, a hand coming up to smooth over your hair. Your breath hitches as you take him in; he's beautiful… his cheeks stained with blush, his grey eyes gazing up at you half lidded and hazy, pupils blown so wide the irises are halos of near silver.

"Can we…? Is this okay?" He asks hesitantly and you have to stop yourself from squealing in delight.

"It's more than okay Higari, I would love to." And you mean every word of it. 

He groans, lips parting to wet them before he cups your face in his hands and pulls you back down into a fiery kiss.

It's almost feral the way you move against each other, palming and smoothing down every inch of skin that you can. He slowly pushes your robe from your shoulders, the belt the only thing keeping it from coming free completely, and he lets out a strangled sound when he realizes you're wearing nothing underneath.

You quickly grab one of his hands and press his large palm to your breast and he quakes beneath you as he begins to knead the soft flesh. You instantly melt into him, moaning and moving against him in your excitement, his metal tipped thumb coming to press against your pebbled nipple. 

He's wonderful beneath you, shedding his shyness as his lips move from yours, coming to place open mouthed kisses against your jaw and neck. 

Your hands continue to roam across the wonderfully compact muscles of his torso, fingers pausing to flick at his nipples before moving to dig into his sides before sliding down to rest on his belt buckle.

You pull away and he lets out a whine as you sit up, gazing down at him, watching as his chest heaves. You wet your lips, thumbing his buckle to get his attention and his gaze darts down to where your hands rest, just above the straining tent in his jeans. Slowly his gaze drags up your body and then…

"Please…" It's breathy and needy, and you can help but let out a small moan as you nod and get to work.

You quickly divest him of both his pants, boxers and socks, leaving him wonderfully naked and needy beneath you, and oh is he a sight to see. 

Taut muscles tensing against soft skin, a smattering of coppery hair on his chest that tapers down his belly to a thatch of curly short hairs framing his perfectly sized cock that now lays dribbling against his stomach.

"Oh Higari, you’re beautiful." You purr, running your hands down his chest.

"Got nothing on you…" he grunts arching into your touch, practically begging you to go lower.

"Such a charmer." You reply with your finger sliding teasingly over his weeping head.

He arches, pale column of his throat on display for you as he lets out a moan.

"Y-you're perfect." He husks and you feel your chest swell with pride.

You pull back for a moment, much to his displeasure, but that quickly changes as he realizes you're removing your robe.

You quickly take the condom out of your pocket before discarding the clothing to the floor in a heap. Laying the rubber next to your calf for easy access. 

Straightening up you perch on his upper thighs and then slowly move your hips.

"Can you feel me Higari?" You hush knowing full well you’re dripping all over him. "Can you feel how wet I am?"

He lets out a needy moan and his hands come to clamp down on your hips as he rolls his hip, cock thrusting up into the cool air of your apartment. 

"Please, please, F/N...please." His words are soft and airy and you absolutely live for them as you roll your hips again, hand smoothing down his aching length.

"Anything you want love." You hush him and grab the condom, he's already so far gone he doesn't even perk up at the sound of the foil tearing.

You need him to pay attention. Tapping his hip bone he slowly comes to focus on you.

"Watch me Higari." You say and you slowly roll the condom onto his straining length.

You want to absolutely pamper him as he makes small little hiccups as you smooth the rubber down him before gently grabbing his base, moving up onto your knees hovering just over him.

"Watch me Higari…" you repeat and he's enraptured as you slowly sink down onto him, bottoming out on him completely in one go.

"Ha-ah!" He arches hands pushing you impossibly closer as he thrusts up into you though there is no more room left to fill.

Oh he's perfect, filling you to the brim, stretching you deliciously as he becomes an unabashed mess beneath you.

You try to move, but his grip is bruising, abdominal muscles tensing as he tries to keep himself in control.

"Higari." You sooth and he looks up at you, lips parted and eyes holding so much adoration it nearly knocks you over.

He lets up his hold after a moment and you lean forward, placing your hands and his chest to steady yourself. You give him an affectionate stare before you rise up, keeping just the tip of him inside before swiftly curling your hips and spearing yourself on his length.

He practically howls and throws his head back, and oh you want to see more of this, want to see him come undone.

You begin a rhythmic deep pace, making sure to swallow him whole on each downward roll of your hips. Higari is already a mess beneath you, now completely out of his shell on full display. In the back of your mind you briefly think he could have been a porn star if he put his mind to it.

He pushes you out of your thoughts as he grips your hips once more and tries to aid you in your movement, you can't help bit smile.

"Relax Higari, this is about you, I'll take care of everything…" you breath and he swallows thickly.

"Wanna help." He slurs "ha! You're so good, soso good." 

"Next time." You're even a bit surprised by how sure there will be a next time and Higari seems to take note of that as well as you watch his gaze unfocus and refocus.

You continue your pace, though your thighs begin to ache, it's too delicious to even think about slowing down; the way your positioned has your clit rubbing against his pubic bone with each roll of your hips.

You can tell he's getting close, the way he trembles and the way he tries to jerk up ever so often out of sync with you. His gaze catches you and for a moment you feel like your drowning. It's then you feel the pad of his thumb press against your clit; you gasp and look down to watch his metal tipped finger swirl around your delicate bundle of nerves, cock disappearing lewdly inside of you with each roll of your hips.

"Gonna, cum, wan' you to cum with me." He husks, bringing your attention back to him and suddenly you're on the cusp, the precipice. 

"Oh, yes, yes...Higari." your head lolls as you allow him to help, his hips thrusting up to meet yours.

And then he's curling, body tensing as he lets out a breathless moan, mouth slack and eyes fluttering closed as he starts to cum. 

That's what pushes you over the edge, his debauched display. And as you tumble over the edge, stars bursting behind your eyes, and toes curling you briefly wished you could feel him pumping you full.

It takes you a moment to come down from your brief jaunt in paradise, sagging against him, panting. You feel his grip on your hip loosen and he brings his other hand to your thigh, thumb coming to sooth over your skin.

You sit in silence as he softens inside of you and you know you should get up and tidy up a bit, but you're basking in the afterglow and you can't find it in you to care that much.

Higari lets out a pleased sigh and he looks completely and utterly satiated and relaxed; it warms your heart.

The next words that come out of your mouth surprise you.

"Stay the night." You whisper almost shyly and it quickly catches his attention.

He cocks his head observing for a moment.

"Do most of your clients stay? I don't want to intrude."  

You honestly are afraid to answer because the answer is no, they don't, and you suddenly feel so raw and exposed it almost scares you.

He must pick up on your nervousness because he gently cups the side of your jaw, brushing some of your sweat damp hair away from your face.

"I'd love to." He says and you feel your heart soar as you nuzzle into his touch.

I was thinking about the song I would recommend you.. But literally my mind is blank and I don’t remember if I sent you I made a Spotify playlist just for us🙈😅💖

I wanna thank you for everything I literally try to check your blog every day even a couple of times just what do you post like and stuff 🌟💜I still haven’t read that fics that you recommended but I really wanna read them is there any like audio version of them?  I wish somebody would you like a Podcasts are YouTube channel word with rate like the stories it’s actually good idea isn’t it 😂

Also today is third of August so I want to wish you a happy STAY DAYYY ❤️ Because of the time difference I was hoping like stray kids would you know , wish us happy birthday and it would be like a birthday for me and maybe like I thought maybe the voice clips , but like I haven’t seen anything and I don’t know if they sang and even🙈

Can I ask you some questions to give me associative from some K-pop groups is there any K-pop idol I remind you of or I could relate to? (Oli London is in Chat yes😂😂😂) to be honest this kind of games and some other like like an on games they really make me happy and just like really really curious ( if you like any of those maybe we could play or something?)

And lastly to finish this message I wish you a good night or good morning or an amazing day I hope that the day will go smoothly and you will do whatever your plans for today and tell us a smile laugh it’s good food and we have been looking forward to hearing from you, xoxo 🐁 🥳

happy (late) birthday to you again my 🐁 anonie🥺❤️ here’s our stray kids singing you your bday song in korean 🥳🎂🎈🎊 and awweh 🥺 I’m glad I can be your source of light ☀️ like I always dreamed of being for someone 💛 even tho this time you couldn’t have nice people around you, do NOT forget that you have me and skz with you who love you sooooo much!💗 there are tons of video clips of skz saying us how much they love us and wishing us, you can search on YouTube and watching them will make you smile so much 🥹 and NAURR! You haven’t sent me our playlist YET! Pls share the link!! >.< aweh!

And hmm VERY interesting question 🙈 ( no I’m not definitely including oli london 😂 ) you definitely remind me of heeseung! And just so you know I’m EXTREMELY fond of heeseung to the point where people even mistake for him being the one I love instead of jake lol. You give off the same caring, nice and sweet vibes. Like him you get easily lonely and fear loneliness and being left by the ones you love. Spending time with your loved ones, getting their attention makes you feel very valid and appreciated. You are good at taking care of people but you feel so incredibly special when people care for you and look out for you before you even ask them to. You may be really fun and cheerful on the outside but on the inside you’re sensitive. You have a pure heart that can feel with such intensity for others and gets hurt and affected when someone is mean to you. You love hearing from your loved ones, you love talking to them because they give you energy. You’re hardworking but feel pressurised when you don’t meet your/ other’s expectations. And like him, you have a heart full of love and sincerity!❤️ people like you should be squeezed tight and be appreciated for existing!🥺🥰 (I just compared you to a person who’s SOOO HIGH UP in my love list so you better feel special 😏) as of now, good morning to you 🌅 💛☁️ I just woke up from my 10ish hour sleep and is brimming with energy😂 FIGHTING FOR THE DAY LOVE 💗 good wishes and warmest hugs 💖

AND PLS LOOK AT MY SKZ ALBUM😭😭 I pulled out HYUNNIE OMG😳💖 (I’ll attach the picture to our next ask)

[OM!] College!AU Zoom University Headcanons

For the 7 Demon Brothers + Solomon

Scenario: Headcanons about how you interact with the demon brothers online during online lectures via Zoom (an online video platform that universities have been using to teach classes) and their habits using it

Notes: gn!MC, Considering most universities (including mine) are all online AGAIN fall quarter and we’re going to be using Zoom forever……. i kinda wish i DID have online classes with the demon boys (and Solomon) 

--

Lucifer

Video off, mic off, no profile pic just the typical first and last name, so you don’t really talk to him but you do see his name pop up in the Zoom chat to ask clarification questions

Accidentally has his mic on sometimes

First time you interact with him is when you private message him “hey, I think your mic is still on” because everyone can hear his brothers arguing in the background

The mic is soon turned off and you get a response back “thanks. Sorry you had to hear all of that”

“Yeah no prob. How many brothers do you have anyways?”

“Too many.” 

Thus starts your relationship with him as zoom buddies, asking each other privately what the professor just said and some clarification questions

If you’re shy about asking stuff, he has no problems asking for you; never makes you feel dumb about your questions

first time you hear his voice during midterm season when the professor doesn’t see your messages (“you’d expect them to know how this all works by now” he messages you dryly) and he asks his question out loud before the professor can move on

(lowkey think he’s hot just from his voice) 

Then highkey finds out he’s hot when his video is accidentally on for a few seconds when he’s distracted with Asmo or Mammon in the background 

Bonus points if you tease him about it 

Shows up at office hours when the TA is late and you just talk to him, exchange emails and numbers ;) y’know for homework help

If you’re going to do group projects, he seeks you out first-- god forbid he’s stuck with someone who doesn’t do the work ONLINE

Mammon

Mic is ALWAYS accidentally on until the professor mutes him or tells him to mute himself 

“Oh, sorry prof!!! My b!!”

Private messages you on purpose to ask a clarification question because he doesn’t want to seem dumb asking it to everyone or to the professor

You wonder why he chose you but then you realize it’s because you had asked a question yourself earlier in the lecture or answered a question 

It becomes a recurring thing-- like EVERY lecture

If you’re not annoyed at him, then you might suggest that the two of you share a document for notes or tease him about just having you teach the lecture if he’s confused

“Actually, that sounds great!” he types to you before you could say jk “that’d help me a lot, thanks!!”

Smh why did you sign up for more work for yourself but oh well, he seems like a nice guy

Is also a very attractive guy, you realize, when you schedule a zoom meeting with him and actually see his face

Realizes why he keeps asking questions is because he plays card games on a split screen instead of paying attention to lecture (same tho)

Invites you to join him by private messaging you a link to join (and you do eventually when lectures gets boring)

Sometimes sends the invite link to the whole class by accident 

He admits he wouldn’t even attend lecture and would just watch the recording but you’re always there so he goes 

Which means you suppose you should keep going to lecture if anything to have him go as well 

Leviathan

Already the master of online classes tbh and has no problem with the format

Finds it kind of annoying when there’s technical difficulties, but he just quickly switches to a tab to watch anime 

Probably is just watching anime on another tab if the lecture gets boring or slow anyways

He’s always the first one to answer forum/discussion posts because he’s just very tech-savvy and good at replying to people

First interaction is probably him answering one of your questions on the discussion question and from then on after you start messaging him privately during lecture when you have a question you think he can help with

A little hesitant on helping you, but you’re also just really nice to him so he’s okay with helping you, I guess 

Give him your email? Why? So he can send you the book pdfs and previous practice tests of course, why else?? 

O-Oh, you want to add him on social media? Just to ask for homework questions right? Okay, yeah, sure! o////o 

If video is on, you see the reflection of anime in one of his mirrors and casually ask him which episode he’s on

Has never been so shook or attentive in his LIFE 

Satan

He is a godsend during every breakout room because he ACTUALLY TALKS instead of leaving you in a quiet room alone with three other strangers

You think you’re lowkey in love with him when he has no problems volunteering to present to the professor and putting his thoughts into words so eloquently

He also appreciate you talking during discussion too, and enjoys the conversations the two of you have while you’re not even sure the other blank profile pics are even there anymore 

He’s the one to suggest making a shared doc to share notes and study together-- the man is productive and efficient about this, what can I say?

Manages to convince you to go to office hours with him and meet up for studying hours and ooooh he’s hot 

He’s actually a very good study buddy, especially when he’s teaching you something you’re confused about, but also just good to study together with (when you’re not too busy staring at him) 

The only reason why you’re focused during class because he’d look disappointed at you if you weren’t-- that’s on you for caring about what he thinks, but he’s just so PUT TOGETHER how do you NOT look up to him?

Finds out that he’s actually just a mess like everyone else when his brothers come in during one of your study session and he says “excuse me,” mutes the mic and goes off screen; you can see some shadows in the back as satan shoves his brothers out of the room and manhandles them till they leave

Is kind of embarrassed he forgot to turn of video too but you just think it’s funny because you relate to the lack of privacy of online classes (and perhaps annoying siblings)

Asmodeus

How the hell does he look awake and lively at a 9am lecture class????

Is that make up??? Is he… wearing PANTS??? (you don’t remember the last time you put on actual pants)

The most functional-looking person in the entire zoom lecture, asides from the professor 

Has video on all the time-- because honestly why wouldn’t he? He actually looks good

Definitely not paying attention most of the time, and you see it on his face 

Messages you first when you actually wear something nice for once because you’re going to go to the supermarket afterwards

“Ooh, where’d you get that accessory??”

The two of you end up not paying attention AT ALL and instead just gush about each other’s outfits

Definitely is not afraid to ask for your social media so you can follow each other and ask for homework help I guess but MAINLY to talk to each other because online classes can get sooooo tedious 

Really really wants to be able to meet you in person someday when it’s safe (“we’d look so cute together!!!”) but settles for facetime or zoom meet-ups 

Really does not hesitate to make friends and make the best out of social situations despite remote format bless him 

The only time he doesn’t turn on video is after a night of drinking with his brothers (“it was mammon’s birthday” he types into the chat with you, “ugh i’m probably going to go lie down, let me know how lecture goes”)

Beelzebub

Always eating-- even if this wasn’t online, he’d also be the one to bring snacks-- his whole LUNCH to class to eat so this isn’t too surprising 

You think it’s hilarious when he actually brings his laptop or phone (whatever he’s using zoom with) to the kitchen and literally makes dinner during the lecture

Sometimes you watch his tiny video of him putting stuff into the oven than the lecture slides and you bet your entire class is doing that too 

Sometimes you ask him jokingly what he’s cooking and you’re surprised when he pauses and answers your question mid-dinner making

“Lasagna. You want some?” 

“Yeah send it over through mail bro”

You don’t actually know if he’s actually retaining any lecture information, but apparently he’s doing decent enough-- still, if you offer to share your notes, he’d be so grateful

“Where do you live?”

“Ldfjalskjd why are you going to send me food?” 

“Yeah. What’s your address? I’ll send you a box of cookies or something.” 

Basically he just does NOT care what the entire class sees him doing; he could be cooking, eating, working out-- he’s listening to the lecture out loud but he’s giving you a show (whether it’s a cooking show or a work out video depends on the time of day)

Belphegor

If the lectures are recorded, you’ll never see him, especially if the class is early in the morning LOL

If you do see him during lecture and video is on, he’s always in his pajamas or sleep clothes, a pillow in front of him 

During discussion, if video is required, he probably has a screenshot of himself awake as a profile picture so he can snooze away pretending like he’s actually there 

You definitely notice because he’s the first video to show up in your gallery and his video is like never moving HAHA

You finally message him when the TA splits you all into breakout rooms when you’re all supposed to be finding the answer or discussing something to be shared later

Kind of awkward at first because he’s like… asleep, but when he wakes up blearily, he does participate-- if only for your sake and for discussion points 

“Hey… wake me up if the TA or professor asks us any questions, will ya?” he says as he puts his head down and sleeps 

Since you and him are now officially breakout room buddies, you message him when you have a question and know that he’ll probably respond to you by the end of class because he actually knows the material despite sleeping through half of the class

Is actually very appreciative of you that you volunteer to speak on behalf of your breakout room if no one else does because that means HE doesn’t have to do it

Bonus:

Solomon

The one to make the groupchat/slack link and send it to everyone in the class so we could actually help each other in the class

Shares a link to a google folder with resources

Highkey more useful than a TA sometimes 

Super helpful, efficient, and charismatic… but suspiciously so

Like where did he get all these pdfs? Where did he get all these 100% test from previous years? And-- is that an answer key??? To what???

Video isn’t on ever, so you have no clue what he looks like… until you’re in the same discussion as him and he turns on his video for breakout rooms

He always, ALWAYS sits at the island in the kitchen and sips coffee whenever you have discussion with him 

Responds back to you almost immediately if you ask him questions during lecture (because honestly, why not-- he seems smart and has his life together) but if anyone messages him in the groupchat, surprisingly takes a while to reply… maybe he’s busy?

Anyhow you’re not gonna question it; you’re gonna pass this class and Solomon is carrying everyone to an A+

☕️ cafe date ☕️

Nothing says Fall as much as meeting the person you love at a cafe for good discussion and cozy ambiance! You are meeting Jumin at a local cafe: what do you both order and what do you talk about??

Leaaaaa! It's been so long, I'm so sorry😭 I save every one of your prompts, I absolutely adore them. I just...haven't been in a good place for writing lately. This one made me sooooo happy tho cause I play autumn cafe jazz o f t e n >w< this one got away from me""""""

My thumb rubs along the rim of my coffee mug, my foot tapping anxiously against the ground. I've talked to Jumin quite often over the period of my stay in Seoul, but this is my first time meeting him in person. I fix the pleats on my jumper and check my watch for the ump-teenth time. Thirty minutes early.

Right. May have jumped the gun on this one.

But my exchange program for school finishes in just a week, and this is my last chance to visit with him. He started off as a friend that I found on a marketing forum, someone who offered sound advice when it came to crowdsourcing and advertising—at the time he'd said his secretary normally handled such online affairs, but he'd stepped in for her for the week. After several days of chatter, slowly changing from work to less-work, we'd exchanged numbers.

Part of me wonders if he would be disappointed when we met. It didn't take long for me to realize that the Jumin I spoke to was more than likely C&R's own darling heir, Jumin Han. I mean, how many Jumins had secretaries?

It is just a hunch, but one I dread seeing the outcome to.

A waitress comes by my table, and I stumble past asking for a refill. She takes my mug and I presume she'll bring it back. Hopefully. Aghhh of course she will, that's why she asked. I bury my face in my hands and try not to release the sigh building. The anxiety is just too much. Maybe I should leave...

I happen to look outside for just a moment. My heart warms.

It's partly cloudy, a light mist grazing through the atmosphere. Colorful leaves dance through the air and sweep across the floor. The trees in this district are lovely, a vibrant array of crimson medallions wavering from the trees.

It'd be nice to share this view.

Sucking in my breath, I force myself to hold it together. I want to meet him.

My phone chimes.

Jumin (Han???): Let me know when you arrive.

I laugh anxiously.

Me: I'm already at a table! Must've had the time wrong, ahaha"""

It doesn't take long for the reply to come back quickly with a cheerful ping.

Jumin (Han???): I see. It is my assumption that your phone ringtone is on?

Me: Yes?

A light tap on my table scares me.

"Jaf?"

And there he is. His eyes are brilliant but his face is placid save for the gentle glint in his glance. I look from the gloved hand on my table up to the raven-haired man in a suit. He waves his phone, our text conversation on the screen.

"Jumin." I don't have to even ask.

He gives a light smile, and I decide then and there that my heart needs a limited exposure to him. I don't think I'd be able to handle it otherwise.

"P-please! Sit!" I manage to strangle out, patting the empty spot in front of me.

He chuckles then, it is a warm tenor to which he follows with an equally warm phrase of English. "Is this easier for you? You mentioned early on you're a transfer student from America."

I wave at him. "No no! I promise my Korean isn't normally this atrocious. Just...nervous."

He gives me an appraising glance, and his face grows just a bit colder. "I did not realize my presence may give you such unease."

"It's nothing like that!" I jump in quickly. "I'm just...horrible at meeting people. I'm awkward, and talk too quickly, and I have a funny accent—even in English—and just say too much all at once..."

Only then does the guarded glance slip away to something more bemused. His brow relaxes. "Apologies. I'm used to a more..."

"Special treatment?" I blurt out, before wincing.

He laughs this time. "Something along those lines."

The waitress stops by again, giving me a crazed look before giving me an even more bewildered lookover. I fidget in my seat before she moves on.

"I don't know how to start." I tell Jumin once I've settled a bit.

He takes his coffee cup and nods. "Then perhaps I could help. This cafe is particularly known for their hot coffees with little to no mixed or frozen beverages. It felt appropriate with the autumn weather."

"I noticed!" I get excited quickly. "I ordered a café au lait, with just the smallest bit of honey. It's very good."

"A good pick. I myself chose just a plain latte."

"Their coffee is so rich and robust! That sounds like an amazing choice."

"You enjoy strong coffee then after all." He seemed to sigh in relief. "I thought I had recalled from an earlier conversation but was prepared for the possibility I'd misunderstood."

"I love coffee, it's warm and comforting. And depending on the roast, there's so many different flavors." I giggle, finally feeling confident enough to meet his gaze. "Plus, being a writing major, I need all the help for all-nighters. My deadlines are no joke!"

Jumin rests his cheek against his palm. "A writing major? Now I understand your sources of research on the marketing forum. You are looking to advertise yourself and your work—correct?"

"Mm, it's a lot to do if you don't have an agent from the start. You gotta make yourself appealing to an audience," I lean back in my chair. "I joined the marketing forum based off a referral. I heard that it's a good place where businesses join together to share information. But that does leave me curious. Why would the director of C&R or even his secretary be on such a site? Surely not for advice?"

"Well-spoke advice is well-spoken advice, no matter where it comes from." He takes a sip of his drink. "However it is the interns for our company that use the site. My secretary oversees their research and helps guide them. She was on leave, hence my involvement."

"You'd step in?"

"I've been told that aiding her at work more would help raise office space morale."

I laugh. "Well that's very practical of you!"

"It's the practical solutions that often render the most fruitful of results."

I find that for some reason, my face warms up. "And was it? Fruitful, I mean."

"I believe so." Jumin smiles.
