Touching! Is a given cause of the title..

NOT PROOF READ

What the frick guys... In my OP last os/hc I could make Sanji's name yellow. Now I can't ˙◠˙ I usually don't use 'y/n' but I did like maybe 3 times?

Luffy

I feel like he'd be superrr touchy but in the proximity way both decently and indecently

He is completely wrapped around you during cuddles and if you're a big spooner you're facing eachother cause he NEEDS to have his arms around you.

If he's horny his arms mayyy or may not extend to fondle or 'tickle' some places in a circular motion

Kisses you all over.

One time you were upset and absolutely would. Not. talk to him so he was full on on his knees with a singular tear

"Pleaseeeeee! Talk to meeeeee! I'm sorryyyyy!"

You wouldn't let him kiss you earlier that morning so instead he grabbed your hand and started kissing up your arm, up and back down your neck, and you stopped him when he tried going to your chest because you were openly on deck

PDA wise he has no boundaries, knowledge, or care of what should or should not be done or said outside of just you and him.

Still kisses you all over, gets wayyyy to touchy and fondles a bit too much sometimes even a hand down ur pants or up ur shirt What? His hands r cold

Will absolutely tell you if he's in the mood.

"I want to have sex." "What.." "I WANT TO HAVE SEX" for the island's whole market to hear

Woohoo wise he doesn't care. Touch, no touch, doesn't matter as long as you or he is getting it good. Will keep going until both of u actually CAN NOT MOVE and we all know he's energetic

Zoro

I feel like he'll hold your waist, stand directly behind u, rest his head on you, and so on.

He's the type to prefer you to hold his wrist or arm instead of holding hands but if you ask or prefer holding hands he'd 100% be open.

PDA wise go back to the first sentance. He believes anything he does to show how much he adores and appreciates you shouldn't stop just because of location or people.

That goes to say, he's also not as bad as Sanji. If he gets jealous? He will ABSOLUTELY say something sexuall, not sensual, something completly lewd and act on it later. If he's REALLY jealous he'll do it right then and there

(Some guy's flirting with you and Zoro, who walked away for like 2 seconds, overheard) "Can I just say, I travel a lot, I've been across the world, and I've never seen anyone as captivating as you. I'm glad I layed eyes on y-"

"They had one room left, we're lucky. Ready to go?" Let's be fr.. It wasn't really a question..

He completely ignored the guy's presence and went straight to you, playing with the hem of your pants/skirt. When the guy just stands there in shock he reahes his hands way to low.

Boinking wise he'll hold your hands over your head, grip your thighs when eating u out, just holds whatever is closest for that position.

Sometimes he'll grab your face when you kiss even if one of his hands are preoccupied (legit hovering over you.. GET THOSE GAINS)

Sanji

I feel like it takes the whole of him not to touch you sensually in public but he also doesn't like to do it often in case you take it as objectifying or he only likes you for your body/looks.

If you have a conversation about it he'd start after it but if not he'd slowlyyyy introduce it over like 2 years

His head is in your neck during all hugs kisses may be included

Secluded hugs might have his head in your chest, sometimes even eating you out/sucking your cock

PDA wise he usually has a hand on your hip, is holding you hand or interlocking pinkies, and will be down for you sitting on his lap.

The first few times u sat there you felt a surprise.

Anything private doesn't really change in public, he'll tone down what he really means or wants to do though

"I want to slurp everything you have/suck you dry then pound you so good all you can say is my name." {Translates to} *1 Neck kiss, *agreeance to whatever you said, *starting to rub inner thigh

Boinking wise it's all about you. If you like being touched best believe he's all over you. If you don't or it's to an extent he'd probably get turned on at the loss of contact but best believe you two are cuddling for and hour after the clean up.

He likes to worship your body like your a god(dess) so he's touching everywhere and fucking every hole that your comfortable with ofc

Again, if your not SUPERRR big on touching during sex he's kissing, sucking, and eating any and everything he can.

Usopp

I feel like he likes light touch and proximity in a lowkey wholesome way

He would absolutly melt at even the thought, mention, or ask of holding hands - In later seasons he would warm up to it

One time he held your hand up in celebration and forgot to let go. When he realized he was red asf

He would be the hugging cuddling type but like I said, when he gets more comfortable with it he'd probably just let his hands roam your body, just liking the contact, even in his sleep.

"Y/nnn" It was a sleepy moan, one hand roaming up and another down.

PDA wise he'd hold hands and interlock pinkies, sit next to you to touch knees or thighs and might play footsies if he can't

Woohoo wise? He likes to see you but gets embarassed if you see the faces he makes.

He'll hide his face in your neck or chest kissing it as he does for as long as he can before he absolutely needs to see you

He absolutely CANNOT do bondage he NEEDS to feel your skin on his other than being inside you (Or u inside him ʅ(o-<)ʃ *wink)

When I say absolutely cannot I mean his pp would go floppy if it wasn't you

But it be pretty hard for him to cum if that's a thing you're into

..

Get it? Pretty hard?

Anyways.. He'd still be down

A/N - IM WORKING ON THE LAST CAMPING TRIP I PROMISE PLSPLS

I'll try to get it out next week

[newtkive]

pixels [newt x reader - modern text au]

ch. 1 - the gc birth

in which two online friends navigate a romance through a minecraft groupchat with their stupid friends

or, newt, the quiet, stoic boy, and y/n, the bubbly girl both curse the world for keeping them apart, but at least they can send each other cute emojis and hope the other doesn't notice their blossoming feelings.

warnings: strong language, mutual pining, none really.

Ok I finished the stream OHHHHH MY DAYSSSSSS

First, Jack being stuck in the prison was crazy LMAO Pandora's Vault stays winning RAHH

Actually cried watching that tho omfg.

CTOMMY MY BOYYYY MY SON

I'VE MISSED YOU DARLING

Actually driving my insane how the last interaction was between Tommy and Jack. Jack hated Tommy but in the end was glad to see he's doing well :( they're both going their separate ways and living their lives as best they can. They have to live with their pasts but they won't be tied down by them. SOMEBODY SEDATE MEEEEEE I CAN'T DO THISSSS

This specific line is SO GOOODDD because of how much Jack's character was focused around his hatred for Tommy and trying to beat him. He was never able to beat Tommy, with his plans constantly failing. Even when Tommy died he wasn't happy, he could never win. But now he's moving on and giving himself a chance. Metaphorically... we don't need to talk about the literal gambling addiction he was referring to LMAO thank u cc!Jack for giving us c!Jack fans the closure we NEEDEDDD

That stream was just so perfect and means the world to me. I'm so glad they managed to capture the feel of watching an old lore stream. It was messy and spontaneous. There was weird retconning and goofy stuff that you need to take seriously. And it all being done through chat messages helps sell the vibe that the server is calm and empty now. The days of it being filled with energy and creativity are gone. I'M SO SAD I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE😭😭😭😭

this fandom feels like being awake during a lobotomy sometimes. like i like (most of ) the characters (excluding regulus) to an extent depending on characterization and so many ppl have superiority complexes being like we're not hp fans or wtv like yes u are???? double standards saying oh ewww u like that ship but then going batshit when someone disagrees with wolfstar or jegulus bcuz they " built the fandom" B.F.F.R im so tired, how do i interact with a fandom that has little canon and no solid canon focusing only on them cuz the creator's a terf. in a perfect world the marauders and even hp. were written by a good person (i feel like most of the fandom's problems would be solved by that...) i want to see and interact with content about the characters but so many of the people who do the same are like so stupid?? (racist/stereotyping, mean, hypocrites) like i'm losing my mind bcuz this is a hyperfixation but it's literally killing meeeeee. ur blog is like my safe haven in this fandom i swear- the crashout is near i fear

this entire thing... delicious. this acc loves u anon . YESS btw omg the lobotomy thing is so accurate it does actually feel like that it's crazy.

the superiority complex bothers me SO MUCH OMG every other golden trio era vid having "i thought this was james" and harry being referred to as "james' son" pisses me OFF. like i know theyre trying to be anti jkr and i mean we all are but thats just making us all look stupid "i forgot who harry was 😭" like that's not !!! a flex !!! they try to act like theyre so much better than people who like canon content like surprise surprise hating on and bullying people doesn't make you morally superior ??

jkr really did fuck everything up the moment she opened her mouth, had she just shut the fuck up she'd litr be praised and loved and all would be right in the world and jegulus wouldn't exist but JHVDJSKL. andyeah the racism and homophobia and misogyny is . crazy. 80% of the time you can read a text post and you can tell that their shipping of a ship started only because they hc one as a top and one as a bottom and ew ew ew . thats weird and disgusting. esp bc a lot of these ppl are like fourteen like you should NOT be thinking about sex 24/7 touch some grass instead of your peanits dawg 😟

[luvrodite]

the jason dad post 😵‍💫❤️‍🩹 you said that’s not nearly as many things as you want to say, i’m coming to you as an AVID dad!jason lover, please pretty please spill literally any and everything you have to say about that topic (if you’re up to it ofc) i’ve got the worst dad!jason brainrot he’s killing meeeeee

cw: pregnancy, children

thank u for indulging me and i am so sorry this is about to be soo incoherent because i'm so all over the place.

i think that if you have an overbearing family (who probably mean well but just don't understand that sometimes you need a bit of space) he is so your guy. he knows about families who are SO nosy like on a fucked up level. his brother probably has a whole profile on you. overbearing aunties are a breeze.

they throw you guys a baby shower and if you start crying in the car because you feel overwhelmed he's rounding the driveway to help you calm down. wipes your tears and asks you what you wanna do in his steadiest voice and you know he's going to back you up no matter what. has a hand on your back the entire time if you decide to go in and coordinates all communication with the seriousness of like his high level stakeouts.

uhhh uhhh i think jason and dick's relationship grows stronger as a result of this. like. that's his older brother. and he tells him because this is special and precious part of his life and he says it very solemnly and awkwardly when they meet up, and tries not to show how important it is to him that dick is part of it. tries not to show his brother that he feels this deeply about him being part of it. but he's still his younger brother and he's still gonna look up to him and want his approval. and dick is so. over the moon.

i think each of the family contribute in their own way but. i like to imagine damian, curious and a little awkward, helping to paint the nursery. he drops in randomly after school and the first time is a little sudden and you're not expecting him but you can't turn him away. he sits in silence for a little and then offers his own stiff little congratulations even though he'd already told you back when you and jason had announced it in front of the family.

it's so endearing and you ask him if he wants to see the nursery and he follows you through the house to the room where you and jason have planned to decorate for the baby. the entire time he doesn't take his eyes off you just in case, like he's got to take care of you in jason's absence. takes the role of soon to be uncle sooo seriously. you ask him if he would consider painting you something for the nursery and i think he takes it SO seriously.

jason goes out and buys a notebook once he's processed the news that you're going to be parents. it might be that day, it might be a week later. but i think he's the kind of dad who writes letters as your baby grows up. 'today we found out we were going to have you..' type thing and it's just so. heartfelt. and human. i don't think he even knows if the baby will ever see these, but he details how scared he feels and you can just read how much love he has already for you and the baby. he's a boy trying to do his best.

this is once again me projecting but. imagine the baby books. i love the idea of the nursery and picking out the books you're going to fill the shelf with. and as the baby grows you add more and more. fairytales and science and fiction and fantasy etc etc. jason reads to you when you can't sleep during the pregnancy

you fall asleep in the nursery one night, the both of you, and maybe a few years later, you unknowingly recreate it when the baby/small person has a nightmare and you and jason end up squished together on the bed with your world between the both of you. a tiny hand on your cheek and the other on their dad's shirt.

i was talking about this with keke (eurydizzy) beloved but i think the baby picks up on jason always calling you baby or a pet name and starts calling everyone that. they're tucked in his arms after a visit to uncle dick's and their little hand is smacking against their mouth in a clumsy blown kiss and you hear a tiny voice say 'bye baby!' to dick. (you guys end up staying another hour)

jason buys a camera and ends up documenting almost everything he can but. so do you. there are home videos on home videos on home videos. that's your world, why wouldn't you want to preserve it!!

another thing keke and i were talking about was the inner child wounds you guys would inadvertently heal. it makes me so emotional. you guys aren't perfect but. by god that baby is so loved. never once ignored, never dismissed. you treat them so seriously, and listen to everything they have to say.

anyway i am so emotional and have severe baby fever. i saw a mother and her baby on the bus the other day and almost started crying because they were so cute

sc2w live reaction because i havent done one of these for anything in a while now (i seriously regret not doing it for access all areas) and i forgot that tumblr is the place where i can dump my long ass thoughts without anyone reading it or judging me <3 so here we go!!:

miss possessive: ooh im so excited for this one heheh. THE CHORUS HELLO OH SHE IS TAKING ITTT. 10/10 intro makes me so excited for whats to come

2 hands: oh we know this diva yup 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ this song is so good when there isnt some random mf in your ear telling you its bad

and now i already have to take a break because apparently shes performing somewhere and theres a live.

okay shes doing another new track (greenlight) but once again i will stay!! also shes so cute. okokayyyy wait greenlight unexpectedly might be one of my favorites??? its so good????? im going insane

shes doing you broke me first so i'll stay but the next time she does a new track ima go back to the album. UNLESS its i know love and she brings laroi it (hes there!!) because obviously i gotta see them perform together

2 HANDS TIME!!!! also my live is lagging a lot it keeps speeding up and slowing down??? and the volume keeps going up and down??? help me. dude this live version is so good can she release it (ik she wont but shhhh)

i feel like shes gonna do its ok im ok as the last song 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ah nvm shes doing greedy of course i shouldve known. omg tate eating with the live version again.

THE REVOLVING DOOR VIDEO IS OUT I JUST SAW SOMEBODY SAY IT IN THE CHAT?/? LEMME RUN OVER TO IT OMG. she just said she was gonna play it here but that live is too laggy ima go to yt. OH MOTHER HELLO.//??//// THOSE MPVES?????? i know i already said it but i love the bridge/outro so muchhhhhh god

okok back to the album

revolving door: so i really dont need a reaction for this considering i just listened to it twice. but wait have i mentioned how much i love the bridge!!!! also i feel like this song has a double meaning outside of the obvious one about her being overworked (she literally released an album, did a world tour, and shes released another new album almost right away) but maybe im reaching !

dear god: already love this one of course <3333 i just know its gonna be very up there on my ranking. also random but i dont get why verse 2 is so short it doesnt make sense to me but oh well

purple lace bra: IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE TEWWW IM GLAD SHE DIDNT PLAY IT IN THE EVENT >o< OH THE INTRO IM ALREADY SO SAT 😍😍i just know people are going to misinterpret this song so bad like theyre doing to 15 minutes by sabrina. which just further proves their point that people just reduce young women in the industry to just their sexualness

sports car: MY FAVV YEAHHH (out of the 3 singles) !!! yeah you know what this is i think you know what this is i think you wanna uh yeah you aint got no mrs oh but u got a spprts car we can uh uh in it while you drive it real farrrrr yeah you know what this is!!

i know love: YESSS THIS ONE I KNOW LOVE WHAT IT IS WHAT IT IS I KNOW LOVE!! oh em gee laroi is eating in his verse i hope hes on the rest of the song too I KNOW LOVEEE I KNOW LOVE . help omg im crying not him calling her his best friend on his insta post .. too unserious

like i do: why have i seen NOBODY talking about this. this is insanely good what the hell i think might be one of my favorites???? idk what to call the voice shes using but i love it oh my god. SAY YOU WANNA KNOW ME YOU DONT WANNA KNOW ME YOU JUST DO WHAT I DOOOO

its ok im ok: we know this one too yesyesyessss 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽im still surprised she didnt play it on the live but she played 2 hands ( good tho the world needs to realize that 2 hands is good, everyone paid it dust and for What)

no im not in love: OOOOH okay first of all the production on this one is eating 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ dude i thought this one was gonna be a slow one but i am pleasantly surprised!!!! just bop after bop after bop how does she not get TIRED jesus

means i care: im exciteddd for this one cuz i heard a lot about it and also i saw some of the lyrics earlier today and i love them .o. okayokay i love the verses but theres something off on the chorus that i cant put my finger on. i like it but i fear this one will have to grow on me a bit (watch it end up being one of my favorites lmao0

greenlight: YESSS LOVED IT ON THE LIVE so lets see if its still one of my favorites!!!! omg its still hitting as hard as the first time . i think this might be my favorite of her slower/sadder songs aughhhh its tew good

nostalgia: okay i had to pause before this one because i am TERRIFIED for it. ive seen like a gazillion people say that it made them sob and judging by what she said on the interview?? and the small snippet she shared??? i fear its going to rip my heart out and shred it to pieces. okay jesus i think i was a bit dramatic BUT nonetheless i literally could relate to every second of that it literally sums up so much of what ive been feeling lately. and i guarantee you im gonna listen to it at the wrong time some day and its gonna give me another existential crisis. anyways what a perfect ending i love you tateeeee !!!!!!!!

AUGHHH OKAY SO!!!! first listen around my favorites are miss posessive, revolving door, dear god, purple lace bra, still sports car, like i do, and greenlight. however this will probably change after i listen a million more times 🥰🥰 but first i gotta listen to saya gray's new album.

thank you empty void for letting me scream into uuuuu

Osa radfems when lesbians say you shouldn't date men: This is victim blaming!! It's not our fault men oppress us!! Why are you telling us to stay away from men instead of telling men not to be sexist? men are the ones causing problems

Osa radfems when like.. a small handful of lesbians called women cocksuckers: I can't believe all these lesbians are oppressing us for liking men. Lesbians are the only people in the world that call women this kind of stuff, and tons of lesbians are doing it too!! Totally not just a couple online. This is oppression

I'm so sick of this honestly. Where is this energy for lesbians? Where? Osa radfems will talk day and night about how people are harder on women than on men, and then turn around and act like lesbians online oppress them for their het attraction. It's so annoying. I don't even think that we should be calling osa women dick munchers or whatever, but even the slightest contempt for osa women gets us labelled misogynists. For some radfems it's obvious they only think it's okay to hate your oppressors when it's women hating men. God forbid a women of color doesn't like white women, or a lesbian doesn't like osa women. IDK girl it just bothers meeeeee

literally. a handful of lesbians being shitty online doesn’t somehow mean lesbophobia doesn’t exist (& isnt prominent among OSA women too) nor does it mean lesbians are the worst group ever & are oppressing u. ive even seen OSA women calling other women “cum breaths” and “dick suckers” or w/e get assumed as lesbians and then mistreated for their assumed lesbianism. and when i corrected this assumption, i got anons coming after me for apparently hating OSA women.. for pointing out that the women in question saying misogynistic shit are OSA. it’s very telling the way they treat lesbians as a whole when one of us is being shitty & it’s very telling how they assume women being misogynistic are automatically lesbians.

A/N: MIRKO PLEASE MARRY MEEEEEE

Mirko pushed through the crowd to get to Hawks. The fight had gone awful and she had tacked the worse of it. And yet Hawks was up their on stage playing the victim. It had more three irritated her. For the first time in forever. She was mad at the blonde haired male. All the little things that he would say that would hurt her came flooding into her mind as she stormed to the stage that Hawks was standing on. The worse that he got was a small cut on his forehead. While Mirko’s left ear had a gushing wound in it (half of it was torn off), chunks of her flesh were badly burned, her left leg was broken, her right eye had been swollen up because she had a black eye, her tail no longer white and was a dark red with blood that wasn’t of the enemies, a gash was on her stomach, her hands were battered and cut. Mirko had protected everybody and managed to fight off most of the villains on her own. So it was fair to say that she was mad that the big winged male chose to sweep on at the last second and steal all the fame that Mirko should have gotten. Not like she cared about the game. But it pissed her off that Hawks got paid more then she did when she clearly fought harder. “YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!!” Mirko screamed. Her sharp red eyes were blazing with anger and her chin was raised in rebellion. It was like how Mirko was squally pictures. The mistake of the group. Whenever Mirko did something good Hawks took the money from it and whenever Hawks did something bad Mirko got the blame for it. It put her really low and she knew if the public knew half of what Hawks really was then they wouldn’t even bother flashing their cameras they would so disgusted about him.

“I have fucked no Mother’s.” Hawks joked. Putting his hands up like he had been caught by the police and a large cocky smile on his face. Mirko gritted her teeth.

“I am fucking serious Hawks! What the fuck is this?” Mirko accused. Hawks looked confused at Mirko.

“What do you mean?”

”I MEAN ALL OF THIS?! YOU DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO FUCKING PROTECT ME IN THE BATTLE FIELD YOU JACKASS!!” Mirko spat. You know that someone messed up when Mirko was cussing every other word when referring or even talking to you. Sure she cussed from time to time but it was only when the cameras where shut and she was behind closed doors with one of her best friends. Not like she had any.

“I was protecting my lovely fans.” Hawks said in a laid-back voice. The crowd roared with cheers and some ‘we love you Hawks!!!’ Mirko sneered at the male.

“No, I was the one protecting them!! I was the one who saved your precious fans!! YOU STEPPED IN AT THE LAST SECOND AND FUCKING RUINED IT!!!” It wasn’t that Mirko wanted the fame. She wanted the money. She wanted to get a job that pays what she deserves. And this? This wasn’t fucking it.

The crowd murdered in small agreement with the rabbits words as they caught worried glanced her way. It was funny, to Mirko, how fast the world turned sides and grouped with the female of the group. The injured one. The weakling. Mirko threw a punch at the blonde haired bird face. Hawks grunted as he stumbled back slightly. The punch didn’t hurt. It couldn’t hurt. It was near to impossible for any fucking thing to hurt when the United hero gave punches towards the other pro hero. But Hawks pretended like it did. The crowd booed at Hawks and out a thumbs down towards him in anger. Hawks looked repulsed but rolled his eyes and sent daggers towards the audience.

Mirko turned around and stormed off stage with her hands flailing in the air. Her eyes narrowed and her mouth mumbling some sort of curses. She looked up at the sky and saw it as it’s pinned around her. Her stomachs twist and turned and her head was light. She blinked confused a couple of times and stopped. Suddenly, as fast as she stormed on the stage she passed out and fell down. Her body hitting the ground hard with a thump.

Her body rolled down the stage and to a steep slope. Coming down she fell among the dead or nearly dead bodies. She didn’t even flinch as she rolled over sharp rocks that left a gapping wound open on her shoulders. Adding to the almost unbearable pain. And she thought for a second that death wouldn’t be that bad after all. She wanted it. Deep in her heart she begged for it to come around and swallow her up.

Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugou where sitting by the pile and rescuing citizens. But the citizens were forgotten the second they saw Mirko rolling down the hill. Todoroki widened his multi-colored eyes and put up a ice block to stop the female hero from moving. Deku came up right next to the white-haired female and out his ear to her chest. A second of gripping silence swept over the hero’s in training as they held their breath and waited for Deku to say that she wasn’t breathing anymore. “SHE’S STILL BREATHING!!! Hurry up and get her to the ambulance!!” Deku declared. Bakugou and Todoroki exchanged a look before nodding their head in agreement. Todoroki used his hot side to defrost the ice and he lifted her legs. Bakugou got her left side and Deku got her right side. Tokoyami came bounding from the hill of bodies and held Mirko’s head. Together the four boys grunted as they heaved her up the hill.

Meanwhile, Hawks held his breath in his throat and tears threatened to spill. He felt like he was on a boat and the salty sea sprayed in his face and the boy rocked violently back-and-forth. He felt completely powerless as he watched with big eyes. The crowd couldn’t see Mirko anymore having she rolled down the hill completely. The sun was setting and the UA students where helping citizens get out as part of their refuge volunteer service. The students and the citizens where shadow puppets compared to the blazing setting sun. It looked like in a safari. The sun hot and humid against the air and it pressed against everybody’s shoulders violently. A feeling of dread crept in Hawks like a icy bridge. He didn’t mean to steal all the credit. But how was he suppose to become number one? How was he suppose to win the fight and be a good friend? Maybe this was for the best. Maybe it was for the best that Mirko rolled down that hill and never returned. He was never fit for friends that matched his personality. Maybe Dabi..but Dabi was different. If he was a sea Captain then Dabi was the ocean. Unpredictable and violent. Sometimes, the ocean would calm and the sailing would be easy. But other times all the captain could do was hide in his room and wait for the ocean to stop slapping against his shop. The ship continues broke due to the violence of the ocean and the captain would have to fix it. Those times Hawks felt a sudden reminder of why he was there. Why he came to this job. He came to win. Not to make friends. But to become number one and sit on his ass all day. It is just what he did. It is what he will continue to do until the end of the world.

Suddenly, he was snapped from his thoughts as he saw Tokoyami, Bakugou, Deku, and Todoroki hoist Mirko’s body up the hill. They were all bruised but a determined look was plastered on their features. Rushing down Hawk’s feet pounded against the grass that was once bright and green but now dead and soaked with blood.

“IS SHE ALIVE?!?!” Hawks asked as he came up and saw Mirko. Her eyes were closed and her chest barely rose up and barely came down.

“She is still breathing. Just passed out, if we don’t get these wounds fixed she might die from blood loss though.” Deku explained hurriedly as the four boys pushed the hero’s body into the ambulance. Hawks looked with worried as the ambulance drove away into the distance.

***

That was two days ago. Mirko remembered it vividly. And she still hasn’t talked to Hawks. He caused her to go to the hospital and didn’t even bother showing up.

Mirko trudged along the path of the forest. Her eyes fluttering through the tree’s. She was in forced retirement because she was half blind. Her quirk still worked but she didn’t complain. Sometimes, she got called up for a conference meeting and many UA Stu sets visited her and exchanged stories with her. She had moved to a small cottage in a deeply wooded area where the grass was for ever green and the tree’s bloomed depending on the season.

Suddenly, she heard a crying of a child. Her ears perked up and her hero instincts kicked in. She swirled her head towards the noise and ran. Her breath caught in her throat as the blood rushed in her ears. She closed her eyes and prayed that this would be able to take care of everything. She ran and ran as fast as she could. The forest a blur past her as she narrowed her eyes and soon came to a abrupt stop and found a six year old child, their eyes round as they cried harder. There was a basket beside them and Mirko picked up the basket. The child seemed to not notice Mirko’s presence. Taking the basket into her hands she saw a note that was folded up. Carefully, she read said note.

“What I have done cannot be undone ever

I have left my child in the arms of nature

I hope that whoever is reading this note will take care of them better then I would have

Their name is y/n l/n

Please read them the book (placed in bottom of basket) when she comes of the age of twenty five for me?”

She stared at the note and dug for the book the at the note was talking. She pulled out a worn leather book and opened it sheepishly. She saw that in it where beautiful poems and quotes that filled her heart with tears of joy. Some of them where poems. Some of them where stories about y/n’s Mother and her life. What adventures she had, what she looked like. And stuff like that. Mirko placed the book in the basket along with the child and the note. There was a nice blanket over it and Mirko smiled as a plushie also laid in there.

“I will take care of you my love...” Mirko mumbled as she kissed y/n’s head and took the basket to her house.

***

you where a good sixteen years of age. Mirko left you alone in the house to get some groceries or something. Of course she would leave you. She has always left you. You turned up your head and glanced around the familiar house. Mirko said she was going to be out for a while so....You picked up a brown woven basket. Mirko said that it was something that belonged to her’s and that she would show you when you came of age. And—you personally—thought you where very mature for your age. Bringing the basket to your room you sighed and got on your phone. Plugging it in to a outlet you got on a call with your best friend Todoroki and smiled as he picked up the phone.

“Hello y/n, how are you?” Todoroki asked. You smiled.

“Feeling rebellious,” you answered as you opened the basket. In the basket revealed a few little trinkets.

“What is that?”

”It is a basket full of Mirko’s stuff. She said she would give it so me when I was of age. And I am pretty mature for my age so I am going to see what’s inside of it!”

”Without me next to you?”

”You can come over. Mirko is going to be a long while before she returns home.”

Todoroki grunted as he got up and walked out. His parents yelling muffled in the background. You for need slightly as Todoroki for out and started to use his ice as a sort of flying machine.

Soon, Todoroki landed in your front yard and knocked on your window. You rolled your eyes and opened the window with a smile on your face as you hugged him tightly.

“Hello!” You cheered. Todoroki smiled in a welcoming and went to the bed. You went right next to him and leaned against his shoulder as you opened the basket again. Some small trinkets lay in there. A small stuffed animal that looked battered with age. The stuffed animal was a gray elephant. You smiled up at Todoroki and pulled the elephant out.

“Maybe something that has been passed down from generation to generation?” Todoroki suggested a idea. You hummed.

“Maybe,”

You pulled out another white blanket that was silk on one side and a soft blanket natural on the other side.

“This looks cozy!!” You exclaimed. The Blakey was large so you pulled it over you and Todoroki (the silk side up). Todoroki played with the silk side of the blanket. Rubbing it between his nimble fingers before turning his attention towards you.

Then there was a old worn leather book and a note. You chose the note and read it out loud so Todoroki could hear it

“What I have done cannot be undone ever

I have left my child in the arms of nature

I hope that whoever is reading this note will take care of them better then I would have

Their name is y/n l/n

Please read them the book (placed in bottom of basket) when she comes of the age of twenty five for me?”

You gasped and dropped the note.

You where...adopted...?!

You couldn’t process the information as you curled up in yourself and started quietly crying. Your head buried in Todoroki’s chest. Todoroki looked stunned for a second before turning his attention towards toy and shushing you quietly. Rubbing circled along his back as he placed his chin on your shoulders and whispered comforting affirmations. You cling to him as you cried even harder. For once in your life. You where glad that this old ranch house was placed in the middle of nowhere where the tree’s where thick and rooted to the ground and the sky peaked slightly when it wasn’t covered by the leaves of large tree’s. It usually seemed sad and lonely. Like you where being isolated from the world. Although, when you cried. No one could hear your screams and cries in pain. And that is a good thing. Todoroki hugged you gently as he comforted you even further. Gently kissing your cheek and whispering reassuring things.

“How about you take the book?” He suggested. You hesitated before nodding your head in agreement. You took the book and shoved it in your matching leather satchel that farrowed your things. You where planning on running away and took the stuff that you knew you wanted to bring in there with you. You let a shaky breath out and cried even harder.

“I am running away...” You mumbled in agreement.

“THEN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!” A voice all too familiar to you yelled. You and Todoroki turned around to see Mirko staring at you with a angered expression on her face.

“You knew?! You knew I was adopted?! WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!?!” You matched your tone in streaming at her. Mirko huffed.

“What do you mean?! Of course I knew!!!”

“THEN WHY DID YOU SAY I WAS YOUR FUCKING CHILD?!?! HUH?!?!?!?!”

Mirko narrowed her eyes and pushed your harshly.

“OUT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE I MAKE YOU!!!”

You turned around with tears in your eyes. Grabbing ahold of your electronics and their chargers and your satchel Todoroki grabbed all the stuff in the basket  and shoved them back in their. Flipping Mirko off as tears rolled down your eyes was a new sight but not a unfamiliar one to Mirko and Todoroki.

**

You and Todoroki started dating and you were the number one hero. You were stronger and better now with your trauma on your back.

You placed yourself where you were now. Your eyes sliding against the cold winger morning as you squinted your eyes and clicked your tongue annoyingly.

You hadn’t seen Mirko since she kicked you out. You stayed with Todoroki for a couple of months before you got a job as a hero. As much as you hated it, it was a good option in your mind. You got to basically do nothing and get payed for it. Although, overtime it had gone boring and frustrating with just doing nothing. So you picked up being a Youtuber part-time.

“Hello, Darling.” Todoroki smiled as he bent down on one knee and kissing your hand with a smile on his face. You giggled at the male’s cliche.

“Why, thank you Sho.” Todoroki smiled again and got up. Taking out his hand in a sort of offering.

The winter morning was cold as ever and there was a large dark gray castle in front of you two. There was going to be a ball and you were ready for whatever was about to happen.

You were wearing a light blue suit top and a light blue blueberry long skirt bottoms and Todoroki was wearing a dark navy blue suit with a gold pin on his suit top (a gold pin in your hair).

Gripping as thoughts flooded in your mind you walked into the castle. You took Todoroki’s hand and walked into the large castle. Todoroki smiled at you and walked you into the large over-towering building.

There were rumors that Mirko was going to be at this ball. And if it was true. Then you didn’t want any part of it. You gritted yourself teeth as you thought of your adoptive Mother hung in your mind. You wanted to go back to the small little cabin in the woods and crawl back into that bedroom that was oh-so familiar to you. However, you knew that you would decline if Mirko offered you a home. Mirko was nice and capable but she lied to you, and you would never forget that. Clutching the leather book that your real Mother wanted you to have in your only free hand.

You closed your eyes and entered the warm room. The warmth felt nice against the cold on your back from the winter. You groaned as your rolled your neck and rolling your head back. Blinking a couple of times Todoroki looked at you with a confused expression.

“What is wrong my Snowflake?” Todoroki inquired as he leaned into your ear and whispering to you.

“I heard some rumors...they said that Mirko might be at the ball...” You mumbled your concerns as you gazed to look at your husband.

“So? Mirko is responsible, she can be grown up and handle herself just fine.” Todoroki tsked as he rolled his eyes. You straightened a little bit as you silently agreed with him. Meeting your Mother was fine and dandy. But what would you say to her? What would it be like? Would she still hold a grudge from sixteen year old you?

You sighed once again as your eyes swept the ballroom. It was nice and floors were checkered black and white and the walls were marble. But it all seemed to remind you of Mirko’s house.

Suddenly, Mirko came bursting through the door in Mirko style. You jumped and looked to the side with wide eyes as you blinked a couple of times.

Adrenaline rushes through your ears as you stared at the tan skinned hero before you. A large smile was plastered on her face and her left blind blue eye gleamed in the light of the ball. Everyone froze and time seemed to stop. Mirko had snow on herself and her costume was a long gray dress that shows off her curves very well. You gulped as you looked at Todoroki with a worried glance. Todoroki seemed unbothered as he checked his watch. Anger boiler in your stomach. How can he not care about this?!

You clutched the leather book that your real mother gave you tightly in your hands before turning fully to Todoroki. “Pardon me, but I need to go.” You announced. Todoroki took his eyes of the watch and nodded in acceptance towards you. You turned back around and kept walking. You shoes clicking against the floor as eyes glued to you. Then, you heard another set of footsteps all too familiar to you. You hardened your gaze at the corner. Slipping through. The footsteps followed you. Once you and the mysterious footsteps were out of sight from the crowd the ball resumed its normal course. People cheered as the violinist played a hard note. You swiveled and turned to look at the footsteps that belonged to Mirko. Mirko was standing in front of you. You had brown pretty tall over the years so you slightly towered over her.

“Y/N!!!” Mirko exclaimed, running to you for a hug. You widened your eyes and pushed her away.

“What the fuck?! That’s all you have to say after you KICKED ME OUT?!?!” You countered. Mirko stiffened as she stared at you with large red eyes. Your gaze hardened and you felt no guilt or remorse for her. She had taken her own path.

“You were planning on running away!”

“YEAH BECAUSE YOU TREATED ME LIKE SHIT!!!”

Mirko narrowed her eyes and scrunched her nose in the way she always did whenever she didn’t get what she wanted. Her red eyes gleamed as she stared you down. You did the same. Narrowing your eyes and letting them harden. You both had a struggle for a moment in silence. Seeing if somebody would look away first.

“Yeah, I’m leaving.” You decided after a few minutes of Mirko not saying anything. Mirko widened her eyes as she rushed towards you. Grabbing the leather book Mirko backed away. You turned around fully and tackles her to the ground in a skirt. Ripping the leather book out of Mirko’s hands you growled at her. Mirko squinted her eyes as she stared at you with a confused expression on her face. Watching you closely.

You huffed in anger as you stormed back to the ball. Murmurs flew around you as you stared straight at Todoroki. Anger still rising in you like a volcano. Todoroki was peacefully talking to Momo, a friend of his from high school. You grabbed the collar of his suit and pulled him back. “We are leaving,” you informed him. Todoroki gave you a weirded out look.

“Why?”

”I will explain everything later. I called a Uber. We are leaving.” You explained again. Todoroki still with a confused face walked with you to the car.

“What a shitty way to end the ball...” You muttered to yourself as you opened the Uber and got in. Todoroki sitting closely next to you.

An essay and rant on TLOU II

How about naughty dog takes another year or 2 or 3 and does the same thing that sonic movie did and remakes the game and we all agree that part 2 was an unofficial fever dream. And skip to part 3 where everyone gets better development and better not dry deaths or no deaths 💞 and every diverse character isn't there just to be there 💖💖💖 but they are there as people with polished personalities and growth 💞 because as much I'd like to scream gay, lesbian, trans rights I can't.

Although the story needs some or maybe a lot of polishing. The overall ideas aren't that bad but the execution. That's where ND kind of fucked up. Graphics and gameplay may have improved but the game is so slow paced that it can get quite annoying. Graphics and gameplay sadly don't outweigh the minuses of the story.

Now let's get into some spoilers. So yeah spoiler warning.

First of all let's start with Abby. Why? Just why? What's the point of forcing everyone to play as her after she killed Joel who helped her? Also how the fuck did the least trustful character who outsmarted other survivors in 1st game just forgot all survival tactics and experience he had??? Why did Ellie just decided not to use a gun on Abbys group? Or why didn't she think of some plan to distract or ambush them??? Why were we made to chase after Abby the whole game only to see Ellie refuse to kill her? Why did we have to jump around the characters and story so much? Why was the story told in that order??? And etc.

Now. I don't mind ND killing a character but they did it way too early and way too shitty, I wish his death was more meaningful or at least they made a nice build up to that significant moment. Tbh even getting Joel seriously hurt (could've been to the point where he can't live his life like before, can't move legs, looses an arm(so he can't play guitar), can't use his body at all, etc.) that would've been enough to make everyone angry and wanting for revenge maybe even more?.. Or if they(Abbys group) wanted to get revenge on Joel so bad they could've just fucked Ellie up(make him watch her getting tortured/killed maybe) to cause even more pain to Joel who now sees Ellie as a daughter. Abbys part could've been way shorter or at the very least once again done in completely different manner. Because almost no one gave a single shit about Abby and her story and her part of the game. The game could've deceived us into thinking that Abby is a nice pal and she becomes part of Jackson and then she strikes once she gets to know Joel's weak points. Fuck it destroy Jackson like Joel destroyed the fireflies facility. Make it epic. Idk.

Or. Give players more freedom in making choices of what they want to do.? Just a thought.

I don't mind developers that try to be brave and try out new things but if you do it do it thoughtfully with passion that shines through the screen even in the darkest moments.

Now let's move on to the things I actually liked. Obviously I liked graphics they were decent and the environments looked great, not to mention how much fun you can have with photo mode. Music as always was beautiful, loved the guitar in this one too. Gameplay, well it wasn't the hugest leap forward with it because there were stuff that were just chores to lengthen the gameplay in the most boring way possible, such as get this cart to this place so you can climb up or get this wire to start electricity so u can open the gate and etc.(basically the same shit like in the last game or tbh almost any of their games, yes I'm talking to you uncharted but everything else with gameplay such as exploring was more or less fun) Killing enemies was fun, not so much fun killing dogs but you gotta do what you gotta do. Killing Abby at any given opportunity was also quite the attraction. Almost every flashback with Joel and Ellie was enjoyable and brought some tingly emotions in me and also were fun to play and experience. Ellies and Dinas relationship was for more or less okay for me and the 2 of them had some nice moments together (which. Could've been better but oh well, let's not deny that TAAAAAAKEEE E ONNNNN MEEEEEE TAKE ON MEEEE was epic) Also I like how the NPCs that you're with are always doing something even when you are standing in one place(and they also help you out with taking out enemies). I liked that we got some more details about the world of TLOU but it could've been done better. And that's probably about it.

Edit: no that's not about it, the snowball fight was lit. Playing the guitar is enjoyable(guitar hero has nothing on this part). And petting dogs is a plus as well.

Tbh I think ND will have a hard time gaining back the trust from their fans and their ex-fans. It's either they completely remake the story of part 2 or they might as well release some sort of game where we get to play as Joel in that skipped 20 year period. AND IT BETTER BE POLISHED AS FUCK. Wouldn't mind if it went little below the level of 1st game but not below the left behind dlc.

Thank your for listening to my Ted talk anyone wanting to talk and rant. Feel free to do so, share your experience. Video games are art and since art is subjective all opinions are valid. Just because opinions are different doesn't mean one's thoughts are superior to others and there's definitely no need to feel personally attacked by someone else's opinion.

[AO3] [WATTPAD]

"Come on, don't be mad," Rise insisted for the hundredth time as they waited for the train to come through. They had been there for a few minutes, bags in hands and feet impatient. At least they a few CDs apiece, and a poster that Rise hoped would do for Chie's gift, even though it was Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon instead of Sonny-Sammy-whoever.

"Why not? My feelings are just as valid as yours."

"And it wasn't my fault! Like, you heard me try to tell him I didn't want any attention!"

"False modesty. I mean, I bet you say shit like that all the time, just so you look like a precious little princess."

The train going the opposite way whipped past, and she watched Ai's pink dress flutter for a moment until the din died down. Then she said in a quiet voice, "You want to be left alone? I will leave you alone. I just don't think that's what you really want."

"You were going to ditch me anyway. What does Risette want with some small-town teen queen when she's Japan's teen queen? It would happen sooner or later."

"Do you want me to apologise for your friend getting star-struck?"

"He was my friend first. And I mean, not that we're close, just that he's someone I-"

"Because I won't."

Ai blinked a couple of times before turning to look at her properly. "What did you just say?"

"I'm not going to apologise," Rise repeated firmly, her own features severe and intense now. "Remember me telling you I didn't even submit my first idol contest application myself? I never asked for all this. I have enjoyed it, sure — who wouldn't? But it's not 'my fault' people go crazy for celebs. Besides, I even tried to tell that guy not to make a big deal, to just let me hang out with my friend, and he kept fangirling anyway. My input clearly doesn't matter, so I am taking zero responsibility for him being an otaku. Do you understand?"

The other girl looked completely thunderstruck. In fact, she had no words. The train arrived shortly afterward, and they both got on without speaking, grasping for overhead straps as the doors slid shut.

It wasn't until they got off at the Yasoinaba station and Rise had started striding for the steps, feeling like a failure, that she felt her hand grasped from behind. She turned to slap whatever creep had grabbed her, but the creep was Ai, so she decided not to hit her. Yet.

"What?" No answer. Ai was too busy staring down at the space between their shoes. "Come on, it's getting late… I can still work a shift at Marukyu if you let me g-"

"I'm sorry!" she burst out, then cleared her throat to try again. "I apologise, Rise."

"What?"

"Shut up, don't make me say it again. I overreacted and I already feel stupid."

Cranking up the bubbliness to eleven, she gushed, "Oh noooo, I don't think I heard you at aaaaalllllll. What was that, Ebi-chaaaan?"

"Sh-shut UP!"

"Do you wuv meeeeee?" This time, Ai did yank her hand away and begin to stomp off down the steps, leaving a giggling Rise to chase after her.

"Like you said, have fun at Marukyu."

"You were a meanie," she told her, still laughing just a little. "I think I get to tease you a little."

"I don't like it. And I have explained why."

"Yeah. Your grade school classmates weren't teasing you, though. They were mocking you."

"Same fucking difference."

Jogging to walk side-by-side with her, despite Ai occasionally picking up speed to try and outstrip the idol, she went on, "Not really. Friends tease. Bullies mock… or sometimes hurt you physically. Did you ever get hurt like that?"

"Well… yeah, I did. But it's been a while. I mean, certainly not since elementary."

"Well that's good. I'll try not to tease you too much, but like, it's not going to work if I can't tease you. Because friends do that, and leaving that out would make this kinda fake. Right?"

Ai raised an eyebrow and glanced over at her. "I… do not follow that logic at all. You're weird."

"I'm not," she giggled, leaning down to smile up at her. "C'mon, it's fun. And I promise-promise I'll try to keep an eye on it so I don't make you feel really bad, and you might even get used to it. And that might help you with that 'everybody's tone is mocking' thing you feel."

"So let me get this straight. You think by teasing me, you're doing me a favour by desensitising me to people being jerks?"

"Right!"

"And that's 'friendship'? Putting me through that gauntlet?"

"Yup! I'm pretty great, right? My generosity is limitless!"

Finally, the grumpy girl laughed as they got to the bus stop, plopping down on the bench with their bags next to their feet. "Whatever. You're insane."

"Maybe. Or maybe I'm amazing and it just looks insane."

"Two sides of the same coin."

"So… I didn't wanna ask in front of 'the expert', but what was all that in the CD store? You two were off in your own little world there."

Ai's face was already flushed from being annoyed earlier, and all that power-walking. But it definitely didn't get any less rosy as she fidgeted, playing with the hem of her dress. "That's… it's stupid."

"Might be. But we're friends, we have to share stupid interests and stuff."

"You're really starting to be a pain with this 'friend' thing all the time." But Rise was patient. And eventually… "It's… something left over from my mother."

"Your mother?"

"Yes. She, um, she used to really love those old city pop singers; had so many records. Her fave was Mariya Takeuchi; just had really fond memories from her childhood, and she used to play them for me all the time."

A sinking feeling settled into the pit of her stomach. "Your mom… is she, u-um…?"

"Hm? No, she's alive. Probably." Ai looked extremely conflicted for a moment before heaving a deep sigh. "She moved out at the beginning of last year."

"Moved out? Like… a divorce?"

"Not officially. Yet. But it seems like it's going to be a matter of time." When Rise opened her mouth to reply, she was quick to cut her off. "Look. After my dad got rich overnight, I wasn't the only one who changed. We all did. But my mother seemed to resent it, even though we were all different afterward — including her hypocritical ass. Said she couldn't stay in the house with her b- with us, because we were like strangers now. And I…"

Rise gave her a few seconds to finish the thought. When she didn't, she reached over with her free hand to take up Ai's in a gentle grip. That seemed to encourage her to continue.

"It's my fault. For changing too much, for no longer being the child she raised. And I got so angry with her, said a lot of things I can never take back… I drove her away. Like I tried to do to you. So you see? Might as well ditch me now before I treat you like shit one day."

As if she hadn't already. But saying that was not productive, so she focused on the subject at hand. "Hey… I don't think that's right." When the other girl began to sigh, she pushed on, "No, listen. She's your mom, right? She's the adult — her and your dad, I mean. Of course if she's telling you she doesn't like how you have changed because you're growing up, like, you're gonna get mad. She's supposed to be the one who can figure out you're just mad and you'll get over it, or whatever."

"That sounds great, but I don't think it works that way in the real world."

"Maybe not this time, but it's how it's supposed to work. So don't go around hating on yourself for something she needed to do better."

Finally seeming to realize her hand was being held, she turned to blink at her new friend, brow furrowed. "I don't… know… I guess I wasn't expecting you to be this… genuinely…"

"Awesome?" she attempted with a small smile as the bus arrived. "Pretty? Hot as hell?"

"Nice. Even to a huge bitch like me."

Once they had both paid their fare and chosen a seat in the back, Rise whispered, "Listen. We're going to have to get used to each other. But we should probably get to know each other if we really want a shot at that." She chewed on her thoughts for a moment as they rode into Inaba. "Mmmm, did you know I actually really like helping out at Marukyu?"

"Hadn't really thought about it." After a second, she relented, "Okay, I guess I thought it was just some kind of PR stunt. But don't read too much into that."

"You're fine," she giggled as she snaked her arm around Ebihara's elbow, ignoring the fresh twitch it earned her. "But yeah, it's probably weird, but I actually really enjoy frying up the ganmodoki myself. Getting my hands dirty, helping clean up, straighten up, checking on my grandma…"

Though Ai had been ramrod straight like a tin soldier ever since they linked arms, she slowly began to relax the more she listened to Rise. "Well yeah, I guess I get that. She's family and you probably missed her while you were off dazzling the world."

"The world? Please. I mean, I do have a handful of fans in Korea and China, but none any further than that. I'm not that special."

"You are. They just can't see it past the language barrier."

"Awwwww…"

"I regret everything," she grumbled. But of course, Rise was still giggling as they slipped off the bus and onto the sidewalk, a lot closer to their sleepy little city.

"Hey, can I come over and listen to my CD at your place? I don't have a CD player anymore."

"Then… why did you buy- never mind. You probably have even more disposable income than I do."

Rolling her eyes, she bumped Ai just enough so that they both stumbled the tiniest bit. "Dork! I only accepted because he was so happy to be doing us a favor. And I figured hey, I might as well pick something I wanted instead of just a couple of random CDs I didn't care about. These are souvenirs now."

"Ah yes. Souvenirs of the time you had to put up with a raging harpy."

"Wow! Like, you really only have two modes, don't you? 'Meanie' and 'Depression Fest 2012'."

But apparently, that had been the wrong thing to say. Rise was just trying to tease like she always did; it was part of her job. The more she teased, the more she played, the more fun people had. The more fun they had, the better mood they were in. The better their mood, the more likely they were to capitulate to whatever the terms were — those of her manager, or herself. And it had all worked out, because she wanted friends so badly and everyone around seemed to become her friend when she treated them that way. Even if the friendships didn't last.

But this time, it silenced Ai so completely that she found herself checking on her every few seconds as they walked along. What did she say? Had it really been that much worse than anything else so far? Eventually, she wound up stopping to pull her into a gentle hug.

"God… it's not- you don't have to do that."

"I'm sorry. You know I'm playing with you, right? Just playing! But if I'm really hurting you…"

Ai shook her head and dropped her bags so she could cling to her, burying her face in those mauve locks. "Shhh, you're fine. I… you don't have to do this. Any of it. But you're not screwing up as bad as you think you are, I'm just a bitch. Sorry for all these constant reminders."

"It's okay." Especially because Ai was so warm. This hug nearly undid all of the pain and strife they had put each other through over the course of a scant few total hours they had spent in each other's company.

And Rise didn't seem to be the only one who thought as much. Those arms tightened on her back, practically clinging to her as they soaked up each other's warmth. Why did this feel so right? They were all wrong for each other as friends, if all their bickering was any indication, yet a simple hug was like a dream come true. Ai smelled so good, expensive perfume mingling with soft skin just on the other side of that dress.

Even though the lace on Ai's choker was tickling her nose. Eventually, that made it twitch, and then she giggled as she shivered in an attempt to suppress a reaction.

"What?" Ai asked, confused.

"The lace tickled. You wear that thing all the time and I don't know why." It prompted a quiet sigh from the taller girl, so Rise skipped backward, hands in the small of her back. Maintaining a high energy level for their day might distract her from whatever demons she was battling internally. "C'mon! I'll race you to Junes!"

"Wha- hey, wait a minute, what about our bags? You don't expect me to carry all this!"

Maybe part of her motivation for taking off running and leaving Ai to carry all of their purchases was to instill a little more humility in the prissy girl. Or maybe she just wanted to do something carefree. Either way, her friend did scoop up the bags before taking off running after her.

                                                    ~ o ~

"NOOOOO, give it back!"

"We've had enough of this weird thing!" Chie cackled as she ran away with Teddie's bear mascot head, holding it aloft while the blond boy himself chased after her. Rise leaned back in the food court chair and laughed her head off. Yes, she knew the head meant a lot more to him than just part of some costume; they all knew that, except for Ebihara. But he had been up to his usual mischief, saying he was going to "score" with Yukiko simply because she let him have some of her french fries. He obviously spent a little too much time listening to Yosuke.

"You guys are too much," Kanji sighed, face-palming as he leaned heavily against the table. But he didn't do anything to stop Chie and Yosuke throwing it back and forth, either.

"I have to say, this is a bizarre group of people to have come together," Ai commented as she sipped at her smoothie. Maybe she still wasn't ordering a ton of junk food, but she had insisted that a smoothie was really "cheating on her diet" considering that before she had met Narukami, she probably would have ordered a diet soda and no more. Their bags were stashed under their chairs until they headed home later — except for the poster. That was safely tucked beneath Yukiko's chair, once all the excessive bowing and thanking was over with, and Rise had refused to accept any money from her. She was just happy to help out her friends.

"I suppose so," Naoto conceded with a sage nod, hand at her chin as always. "From the outside looking in, it would seem strange to anyone."

"So how did you all meet, then? Bizarre multi-grade class project?"

There was definitely a pause. None of them were quite sure what excuse to come up with; only that they had to think of something to tell her that didn't involve supernatural hijinks. That would only send the average person running for the hills.

"Remember the Midnight Channel?" Yukiko began.

"Yukiko!" Kanji blustered. But she forged ahead, undeterred, and Rise felt her thighs clench beneath the tabletop. Moment of truth…

"Well, that murderer who killed Miss Yamano and the others? We knew he was somehow using the TVs to announce his next victims. Not only that, but my own kidnapping made it impossible to ignore for all of us; myself, obviously, but Chie and the others couldn't just wait for someone else to put a stop to it once our friends were becoming targets. We started investigating on our own since the police didn't seem to have any leads. And when Naoto-kun came to town and began to work with the police directly, we all sort of… found each other, thanks to that common goal."

Wow. Ai wasn't the only one dumbfounded; the others at the table found themselves impressed that she had come up with such a believable almost-truth on the spur of the moment like that.

"Th-that's amazing," Ai finally said, still blinking rapidly to try and dispel her shock. "I didn't know the rest of you were also detectives."

"Not very good ones," Rise provided with a little awkward laugh. "But all of us putting our heads together, we were finally able to figure out it was that creep Adachi. The power of teamwork!"

"Hey, you don't have to keep calling her 'Naoto-kun'," Kanji suddenly said with a slight frown at Yukiko. "We know she's a chick now, don't be disrespectful."

While Yukiko was looking regretful and beginning to bow to offer an apology, Naoto smiled and patted the tall boy on the bicep. "It's fine. In fact, I'm much more comfortable with that than I ever could be with something feminine like 'Nao-chan'. Just doesn't suit me."

Even as Rise was calling out "NAO-CHAAAAAAAAAAN" in a loud, carrying voice and throwing her arms around the stoic girl, prompting some flustered shovings, Ai was smiling across at the junior detective prince. "Naoto-kun it is. Obviously we want you to be comfortable."

Both the sentiment and the smile were so unexpected from Ai Ebihara that everyone stopped to look at her. After a second or two, she cleared her throat and went back to sipping at the dregs of her smoothie.

"Thank you, Ebihara-san," Naoto finally managed as Rise dropped back into her seat.

"Of course. See? I'm not a cunt all the time."

"Never said you were," Rise cooed as she pinched her cheek.

"HEY! Didn't I tell you to stop getting so physical with me? My face is the real money maker and so help me…"

Things only devolved from there. Kanji was apologizing profusely for presuming too much, Naoto was trying to assure him she didn't mind either, Yukiko had lapsed into another uncontrollable giggle-fit when she noticed Chie and Yosuke had started throwing Teddie himself back and forth. And Ai… was laughing and smiling. Not much; she still looked a little out of place there, not quite sure how she fit into the group of friends.

But she was starting to. Sometimes, a modicum of progress was the best you got.
