#Water shine bb glow

[effymaybe]

Thank you so much for the baking, it made my day! How about the other way round - something silly and fluffy Mon enjoyed and Sam grew to like too?

Glad you liked it bb. I’m really enjoying these prompts. This started in some note and ended in waaaaay another but hey! It’s something, right?

-

Mon’s always been committed to her responsibilities. Fueled by both her family’s values and the memory of a young Sam’s kindness, she has always tried her best to achieve her goals, investing hours and hours of her time in work. As a student, she got straight As. As a professional, her efforts shine through her innovative ideals, even recognized by her peers above the obvious fact that she’s married to the boss. So Mon has always built her own path to success, and as much as her victories are certainly pleasant, her dedication has often meant not always finding space to indulge herself. In fact, it isn’t until a year after her marriage that she starts reading just for fun. It starts with her having a slight –totally manageable- cold and her pretty wife asking her again and again to please stay home, darling. Mon refuses, but then Sam pouts and pecks her lips once, twice, and then she’s puddle in her wife’s steady arms and within a mewl and another, she’s agreeing. So she finds herself alone in her big house, relaxing on a work day, fighting against the impulse of grabbing her laptop and staring designing again because she promised Sam she wouldn’t, and then Sam promised that she would reward her if she was good, and Mon just loves rewards. She remains strong. She wanders around the house, coughs a little, and then makes it to the bookshelf upstairs. Her eyes land in a small book Song forgot in a quick visit to her sister and they forgot to return. Mon takes it, sits on the ridiculously expensive armchair Sam’s grandmother gifted her for her birthday, and begins to read.

Mon falls in love with words almost immediately.

So she begins to read a lot, and develops an special taste for poetry. She buys herself a few books and as soon as Sam takes note on her new hobby –witch takes her, mind you, no more than a week or so- she buys her collection after collection, adoring the way Mon’s face lights up before them. Mon is happy, and therefore, Sam is happy, too. Same is not exactly an avid reader, at least not in the traditional book-worm way, but she realizes quickly that there are many advantages to Mon’s growing love for literature. Many evenings are spent with Mon quietly diving in mystical plots while Sam finds herself a cozy little place just in her lap. She would feel the brush of her wife’s fingers through her hair and doze off just like that, incredible peaceful. In the mornings, she often finds little notes with lines the pieces Mon likes the most. I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river / to me you’re everything that exists; the reality of everything – made me think of you – I love you. And Sam smiles, all teeth and softness around the eyes, and she thinks she can get through any hard day just fine. But she loves it even more when Mon reads for her.

It takes her some convincing, of course, because her wife gets so shy and cute, but then she whines slightly, tilts her head pleadingly, buries he nose in Mon’s neck and it’s enough. Mon smiles slightly, in love, always so ridiculously in love, and searches through her favorites because Sam deserves the best. She leans towards her nightstand and fetches a book. You are mine, mine, I go shouting it to the afternoon's wind, Mon recites, and the wind hauls on my widowed voice. Sam stares at her with half-lidded eyes. She’s married to her. That’s her wife. Huntress of the depth of my eyes, your plunder stills your nocturnal regard as though it were water. Mon makes a pause to take a breath. The glow of the night lamp caresses the side of her face.  You are taken in the net of my music, my love, and my nets of music are wide as the sky. Sam feels her raw love blistering in her chest, and she knows that Mon feels the same. They are so in sync, and she looks so pretty, so endless with her little book that takes Sam everywhere. And Sam would let her finish the poem, if she didn’t look so damn enticing. Instead, she leans forward to kiss her and Mon giggles in delight, because every reading session ends up the same, with Sam’s clever fingers all over her body as she asks her to talk, please, say anything, and Mon’s voice get deeper, raspier, strangled by love, love, love.

Mon is keen on words.

Monsoon Skincare

The monsoon season brings relief from the scorching heat, but it also brings a new set of challenges for your skin. The increased humidity, sudden temperature changes, and dampness in the air can lead to various skin issues like acne, rashes, and dullness. However, with the right skincare routine, you can maintain a glowing, healthy complexion even during the rainiest months. In this blog, we’ll guide you through effective monsoon skincare tips and best practices to keep your skin fresh, balanced, and radiant.

1. Cleanse Thoroughly, but Gently

The first step to maintaining healthy skin during the monsoon is cleansing. The humid weather can cause your skin to become oily, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Using a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser twice a day will help remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Opt for a cleanser that contains ingredients like tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are effective against acne while being gentle enough for daily use.

2. Exfoliate, but Don’t Overdo It

Exfoliation is crucial during the monsoon to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. However, over-exfoliating can cause your skin to become irritated and sensitive, especially in humid conditions. Stick to exfoliating once or twice a week using a mild scrub that contains natural ingredients like oatmeal or fruit extracts. This will help maintain your skin’s natural barrier while giving it a fresh, glowing look.

3. Hydration is Key

One of the biggest misconceptions about skincare in the monsoon is that you don’t need to moisturize due to the humidity. On the contrary, your skin still needs hydration to maintain its balance and barrier function. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type. Gel-based moisturizers work particularly well in the monsoon as they are light, absorb quickly, and do not clog pores.

4. Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable

Even though the sun may be hidden behind clouds during the monsoon, UV rays can still cause damage. Therefore, sunscreen remains a crucial part of your skincare routine, rain or shine. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UV rays, which can cause pigmentation and premature aging. Look for a lightweight, water-resistant formula that won’t feel heavy or greasy in humid conditions.

5. Stay Away from Heavy Makeup

Heavy makeup can clog pores and cause breakouts, especially in the sticky monsoon weather. If you need to wear makeup, opt for light, water-based products that allow your skin to breathe. BB creams, tinted moisturizers, and lightweight concealers are excellent alternatives to heavy foundations. Always remember to remove your makeup thoroughly at the end of the day to avoid any skin issues.

6. Keep Your Skin Dry and Fresh

The monsoon’s high humidity levels can cause your skin to feel damp and sticky. Make sure to keep your skin as dry as possible by using a clean towel or tissues to pat it down. Avoid rubbing your skin aggressively, as this can cause irritation. Additionally, carry facial blotting papers to absorb excess oil throughout the day and maintain a fresh look.

7. Use Antifungal Products if Needed

Fungal infections are common during the monsoon due to the moisture and humidity. If you notice any itching, redness, or rashes, switch to antifungal skincare products or consult a dermatologist. Products containing ingredients like neem, tea tree oil, or aloe vera can help soothe and protect your skin from infections.

8. Maintain a Balanced Diet

Remember, healthy skin starts from within. The monsoon season is a great time to include water-rich fruits and vegetables in your diet to keep your skin hydrated and glowing. Foods like cucumbers, watermelons, and oranges are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that are beneficial for your skin. Avoid oily and spicy foods that can aggravate skin issues like acne during the humid season.

9. Stay Hydrated

The damp monsoon weather may not make you feel as thirsty as the summer heat, but staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins and keep your skin clear and glowing. Herbal teas, coconut water, and fruit-infused water are also excellent options for staying hydrated.

Conclusion

Monsoon skincare is all about balancing the effects of humidity and moisture while ensuring your skin stays clean, hydrated, and protected. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a radiant and healthy complexion all through the rainy season.

Lip Gloss for Eyeshadow and Blush Have you ever tried lip gloss in multiple ways for blush and eyeshadow? If not, Skin Beauty team will tell you the benefits and why you should start using it. First, it’s convenient and simplicity which means you can use lip gloss on the go with a quick touchup. Since lip gloss is very easy to apply with just your fingers. Another great benefit of lip gloss is budget-friendly. You can save money instead of buying the separate make-up products. This is especially helpful for students or anyone on a budget. Using Lip Gloss as Blush: - Choose the Right Shade: Pick a lip gloss in a shade that complements your skin tone, just like you would with blush. Pink, peach, or nude tones work well for most people. - Apply Sparingly: Lip gloss can be quite sticky and pigmented, so apply a small dot to the apples of your cheeks. - Blend Well: Use your fingers or a makeup sponge to blend the gloss into your skin. Pat gently until it gives you a natural, dewy finish. Using Lip Gloss as Eyeshadow: - Choose a Sheer Gloss: Opt for a gloss that's not too sticky and has a bit of shimmer or color. Clear or nude glosses can give a glossy eyelid effect, while tinted glosses add a pop of color. - Apply with Your Finger: Dab a small amount of gloss onto your eyelid using your fingertip. Start with a light layer, and build up if needed. - Set with Powder (Optional): To reduce creasing, you can lightly set the gloss with a translucent powder or a matching eyeshadow. However, if you want that glossy, editorial look, you can skip this step. Things to Keep in Mind: - Texture: Lip gloss can be stickier than regular makeup products, so be prepared for a slightly tacky feel on your skin. - Longevity: Because lip gloss is not designed for cheeks or eyelids, it may not last as long as traditional blush or eyeshadow. You may need to reapply throughout the day. - Creasing: Lip gloss on the eyelids can crease, especially if you have oily lids. Applying a primer beforehand can help minimize this. Using lip gloss in multiple ways is a great way to simplify your routine and keep your makeup bag light. Would you like some specific product recommendations for a versatile gloss?

SEASONAL BEAUTY TIPS: KEEPING YOUR SKIN GLOWING AND FRESH IN JULY

Seasonal Beauty Tips: Keeping Your Skin Glowing and Fresh in July

July is a peak summer month in many parts of the world, bringing with it high temperatures, increased humidity, and plenty of sunshine. As the weather changes, so should your beauty routine. Here are some essential seasonal beauty tips to help you maintain a fresh, glowing complexion and healthy hair during the hot summer days of July.

1. Stay Hydrated

Why It’s Important: Hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin and hair, especially during the hot summer months when you’re more likely to lose fluids through sweat.

Tips:

Drink Plenty of Water: Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Hydrating Foods: Incorporate water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges into your diet.

Hydrating Skincare: Use a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin supple and avoid dehydration.

2. Sun Protection

Why It’s Important: UV rays from the sun can cause premature aging, sunburn, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Tips:

Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating.

Protective Clothing: Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and lightweight long sleeves to shield your skin from the sun.

Shade: Seek shade during peak sun hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

3. Adjust Your Skincare Routine

Why It’s Important: Hot weather and increased humidity can affect your skin differently than colder months.

Tips:

Lightweight Products: Switch to lightweight, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) products. Gel-based moisturizers and serums are great options.

Cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser to remove sweat, oil, and sunscreen without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Exfoliation: Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores. Be gentle to avoid irritation.

4. Combat Oily Skin

Why It’s Important: Heat and humidity can increase oil production, leading to shiny skin and breakouts.

Tips:

Oil-Free Products: Use oil-free and mattifying skincare products to control excess oil.

Blotting Papers: Keep blotting papers handy to absorb excess oil throughout the day without disturbing your makeup.

Clay Masks: Incorporate a clay mask into your routine once a week to help absorb oil and keep your skin clear.

5. Hair Care

Why It’s Important: Summer sun, chlorine from pools, and saltwater from the ocean can damage and dry out your hair.

Tips:

Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner: Use moisturizing hair products to combat dryness.

Leave-In Conditioner: Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair serum to protect your hair from sun damage and keep it hydrated.

Protective Styles: Consider braiding your hair or wearing it in a bun to minimize exposure to the sun and reduce damage.

6. Makeup Tips

Why It’s Important: Makeup can feel heavy and melt off easily in the summer heat.

Tips:

Lightweight Foundation: Opt for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream with SPF for a light, breathable coverage.

Powder: Use a setting powder to keep your makeup in place and reduce shine.

Waterproof Formulas: Choose waterproof mascara and eyeliner to prevent smudging.

7. Foot Care

Why It’s Important: Summer sandals and barefoot walks can lead to dry, cracked feet.

Tips:

Exfoliate: Regularly exfoliate your feet to remove dead skin cells.

Moisturize: Apply a thick foot cream or lotion to keep your feet soft and hydrated.

Sunscreen: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your feet, especially if you’re wearing open-toed shoes.

8. Stay Cool

Why It’s Important: Overheating can cause your skin to become irritated and flushed.

Tips:

Facial Mist: Keep a facial mist in your bag for a quick refresh during the day.

Cool Showers: Take cool showers to lower your body temperature and soothe your skin.

Ice Packs: Use ice packs or cool compresses on your skin to reduce redness and inflammation.

9. Treat Sunburns

Why It’s Important: Despite your best efforts, sunburns can happen and need proper care to heal.

Tips:

Aloe Vera: Apply aloe vera gel to sunburned skin to soothe and hydrate.

Cool Baths: Take cool baths to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Hydrate: Drink extra water to help your skin heal from the inside out.

10. Adapt Your Diet

Why It’s Important: What you eat can significantly impact your skin’s health and appearance.

Tips:

Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Include fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, such as berries, tomatoes, and leafy greens, to protect your skin from sun damage.

Healthy Fats: Consume healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and fish to keep your skin moisturized.

Limit Sugar: Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks, which can contribute to inflammation and breakouts.

By incorporating these seasonal beauty tips into your routine, you can keep your skin and hair looking their best throughout July and the rest of the summer. Remember, the key to summer beauty is staying hydrated, protecting yourself from the sun, and using lightweight, non-greasy products that keep your skin and hair healthy and radiant.

Sun's Out, Buns Out (But Protected!): Essential Summer Skincare Tips

Sun's Out, Buns Out (But Protected!): Essential Summer Skincare Tips Summer's arrival ushers in longer days, balmy nights, and the irresistible allure of spending time outdoors. But with the sunshine comes the responsibility to protect your skin from the sun's harsh rays. Here's a comprehensive guide to keeping your skin healthy, glowing, and protected throughout the summer months: Sunscreen: Your Summertime BFF Sunscreen isn't just an option – it's a non-negotiable part of your summer skincare routine. Here's why sunscreen is so crucial: - Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is Your Shield: Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for everyday use. SPF 50 is recommended for extended sun exposure or for those with fair skin. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, and more frequently if you're sweating or swimming. - Don't Forget Hidden Areas: Sunscreen isn't just for your face! Apply sunscreen generously to your ears, neck, hands, feet, and any other exposed skin. Use a lip balm with SPF to protect your delicate lips. - Water Resistance Matters: Opt for water-resistant sunscreen, especially if you'll be swimming or sweating. However, remember that even water-resistant sunscreen needs to be reapplied after swimming or excessive sweating. Beyond Sunscreen: A Multi-Pronged Approach Sunscreen is your primary defense, but there's more you can do to shield your skin from the summer sun: - Seek Shade: The sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm. Whenever possible, seek shade during these peak hours. Bring an umbrella to the beach or park, or relax under a tree. - Embrace Sun-Protective Clothing: Cover up with lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and pants made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Don't forget a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face, neck, and ears. - Hydration is Key: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is crucial for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. Dehydration can exacerbate the effects of sun exposure, so keep a reusable water bottle handy. Summer Skincare Tweaks: Summer's heat and humidity can alter your skin's needs. Here's how to adjust your skincare routine for the warmer months: - Lighter is Better: Swap your heavy moisturizers for lighter, oil-free options. Gel-based moisturizers provide hydration without feeling greasy. - Exfoliate Regularly: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, allowing your skin to better absorb skincare products. Opt for a gentle exfoliator two to three times a week. - Don't Neglect After-Sun Care: Soothe sun-exposed skin with a gentle after-sun lotion or aloe vera gel. This helps replenish moisture and reduce the risk of sunburn. Summer is a time to embrace your natural beauty. Minimize makeup and opt for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream for a light and healthy glow. Focus on waterproof mascara and a touch of lip balm for a summery look that lets your natural radiance shine through. By following these summer skincare tips, you can protect your skin from sun damage, keep it healthy and hydrated, and ensure you're glowing throughout the season. Remember, sun protection is an ongoing practice, not a one-time event. So, slip on your sunscreen, grab your hat, and head out to enjoy the summer sun – responsibly! Read the full article

Summer natural beauty, water-glowing make up

Summer is all about expressing your natural beauty, so why not let your skin shine? Instead of reaching for heavy foundation and powder, choose lightweight products that enhance your complexion.

I will give you tips on how to achieve a water-glowing skin during the summer.

Moisturizing is important: During the summer, dry air and sweat can cause your skin to become dehydrated. Therefore, it is recommended that you use appropriate moisturizers or skincare products to recharge your skin with moisture.

Choose lightweight base makeup: In hot and humid weather during the summer, even light base makeup can be enough. You can complete natural-looking makeup by using lightweight products such as BB cream which makes it less burdensome.

Use waterproof eyeliner and mascara: Due to sweat and watery residue, eyeliner or mascara may smudge downwards or get erased easily; therefore choosing waterproof types of these items would be helpful in preventing those issues.

Sunscreen is essential: Sunscreen should always come first in priority when preparing for summertime!

UV protection & pore coverage: It’s not just about UV ray resistance! If used consistently with pore covering function included then starting from thin & soft texture state could be possible!

Embracing Beauty Hacks for Busy Moms: How to Look Presentable and Confident

Indulging in elaborate beauty care and makeup routines may seem impossible, given your hectic schedule, but fret not! With these 6 quick and workable beauty hacks, you'll be glowing and looking confident in no time.

Embrace Multipurpose Products for Effortless Makeup

With only a few minutes to spare, efficiency becomes the name of the game. Invest in versatile products that serve multiple purposes. Opt for a tinted moisturizer or a moisturizing BB cream with SPF instead of going through the hassle of layering separate products. These time-saving options will help you achieve a flawless look effortlessly.

Prioritize Skin Hydration, Regardless of Skin Type

Moisturizing your skin is a crucial step that should never be overlooked, regardless of whether your skin is dry or oily. Choose a water-based moisturizer to prevent excessive oil buildup. Keeping your skin well-hydrated maintains its suppleness. Invest in a good serum and apply it before anything else to experience the transformative effects of this quick routine.

Harness the Power of Perfume

A little dab of perfume can work wonders for your mood and confidence. Keep a bottle of your favorite scent on your vanity for a quick pick-me-up. Additionally, store a travel-sized version in your purse or car to ensure you never forget to add a touch of fragrance before stepping out. This simple trick can help mask any unwanted odors and elevate your overall presence.

*RATTLES THE BARS* LET ME IIIIIN! I want to request! I would like to bequeath on you a meager request of blood root and sunrise for Killer, with kisses on the cheek and nose kisses, with theme #3 because you know ya girl. Mwah! Kiss Kiss Fall In Love <3

ask and ye shall receive, bb gorl <3 i actually managed to keep it light

953 words, gn reader (no pronouns babey), sfw (hello??? what a surprise) but still 18+ mdni, no angst i promise only whatever semblance of fluff i think this is; only warning is that killer somehow is soft.

💖☁️ la vie est drôle ☁️💖 starring: “massacre soldier” killer x reader. blood root (fluff) at sunrise, cheek & nose kisses, #3 (rain).

puffy purple clouds coast along the magenta and bubblegum pink sky, the sun making its slow ascent into the sky, its light leaving behind touches of marigold along the water. nothing, you think, can beat the view. you don’t normally wake up this early, but you’ve barely slept and you’re wired enough to enjoy the solitude of being outside on the ship’s deck as your crewmates sleep. the ship’s been anchored along the coast of a small island since last night, a small seafaring town not too far away. the plan is to stock up on supplies before sailing out again.

a breeze ruffles your hair and clothes, caresses your face—gently, a touch of adoration as the scent of sea salt infiltrates your nose. it’s a wonderful sensation, one that you like to remember from time to time; it’s almost as if you’re experiencing a rebirth every single time.

on average, he sleeps about three or four hours; on this particular morning, he wakes up after tossing and turning for far too long, grouchy, the fatigue sapping more and more of his patience as he steps out of his room in search of coffee. he likes this part of the morning, specifically because it means he has a little bit of tranquility before the chaos of the day begins. when he spots you near the railing, he pauses to take you all in—the way your eyes crinkle at the sides as you close them, head facing upwards, your smile equally as radiant as if you can taste the warmth of the sun. and maybe you can; he’s always wondered that—not seriously, no, but you seem to shine brightest when you’re outdoors, when the sun is at its highest peak, when your skin glows. golden, ethereal, the sort of thing that forces people to write poetry — but he’s no poet, and it’s impossible for him to capture your essence in word form anyway.

he won’t bother trying.

what he will do, though, is make his presence known. so when he calls out to you, shaking you from whatever meditative state you found yourself in, your smile only grows. he joins your side and as he’s about to reveal that small truth of his, the one he’s been meaning to tell you for quite some time  now, it starts to rain. at first, the drops are soft, spread out—hardly anything to concern himself over. 

but it’s the new world—the weather isn’t forgiving, nor is it predictable by any means. 

the clouds darken, the amalgamation of colors that lit up the sky blur together, revealing a sinister storm that might possibly head this way. you don’t move, though; the water is refreshing, you close your eyes again, the raindrops falling harder, multiplying in quantity, snuffing out the residual heat from the air completely. it takes a minute, but you’re already soaked, and he is too. he’s used to your impulsive decisions, used to your out-of-the-box thinking, but this—even this is a little outlandish for him.

killer doesn’t move from your side, however; he wonders what it is that keeps him in place, when he knows how much he hates the way water trickles inside of his helmet, but you’re here and if you’re here, then he must be too. it’s an illogical decision, one that he doesn’t understand completely, but you do. you open your eyes, droplets of water dripping from your eyelashes; he wipes it gently, almost as if he’s afraid of disturbing whatever tranquility you seek out in the rain. you’re grateful the rain picks up, because it distracts him and you can suffer in silence, your cheeks burning from that one gesture.

your hand finds his, you tug him along, feeling guilty that he waited in the rain with you. it’s not your intention to just monopolize his time like that, and you’re sure that killer can take care of himself, but you nudge him into your room and motion for him to sit anyway. 

he hates being wet, but he doesn’t hate it as much right now. and because of that, killer removes his helmet and places it on your nightstand, so that when you come back with a large fluffy towel, you’re momentarily stunned. it’s a testament to how much he trusts you, and that pesky blush finds its way back onto your cheeks, spreading down your neck and onto your chest.

“here,” you say quickly and hope he’ll take the towel so you can put some distance between you. he has something else in mind entirely; he pulls you onto his lap and while you fuss at him, you’re not really upset. if anything, you’re in a daze that feels more like a dream than anything. and even after you insist on him drying off first, he ignores you and instead brushes his lips against your cheek, your soft skin and accompanying sigh encouraging him to continue. you’re too stunned to speak, afraid that if you utter anything, it’ll come out foolish and he might leave.

you don’t want him to go. not now.

he’s not sure what he’s doing either, but he presses a soft kiss on your cheek and mirrors the move on the opposite side. when you look up at him, it’s with a tenderness that tears through his walls with ease, so much that he doesn’t anticipate you leaning forward and dropping a tiny kiss on the tip of his nose, a cheeky grin on your face as if you’re so very pleased with your actions. and in the end, he laughs and laughs, finding his situation—predicament, really—so ridiculous that he can’t believe he was ever concerned over a measly thing like confessing to you properly.

WITH OUR FATES TANGLED TOGETHER  ➽ ATSUMU MIYA X READER

requested by: @tsumue​

➪ hi davi! so, as you know i fell deeply in love with your soulmate fics (a while ago and so did some of my friends!!) your writing is really beautiful and i couldn't stop myself from intruding your inbox🥺 if it's not too stupid or uninspiring could i mayhaps ask for a soulmate scenario angst to fluff (only if you feel up for it!) with atsumu? thank you!🤍

genre: angst to fluff

soulmate au: soulmates are bound together by a red string

warnings: angst — my ability to write this genre isn’t necessarily the best :v but i tried my best with it, and i did enjoy the experience! hopefully with time i’ll be able to write more and get better at it! 

you meet your soulmate at age sixteen.

the fear that grips at your heart is mind numbing. it sinks cold fingers into your neck and bruises it with a cruel hand that cuts off all air from your lungs, and leaves you empty so that the only other thing you can feel is hot, hot anger.

the anger isn’t yours — the red chord that’s gotten all tangled up between your fingers tells you as much. instead, it belongs to him.

the him who stands before you with hard brown eyes and lips pressed into a thin line. the him who you’d always wanted to meet ever since that red chord tangled itself between your fingers at the age of seven. the him whose name you’d dreamed of without ever knowing it, had fantasized about how it would feel to let it roll from your tongue. he’s here — you’ve finally met your soulmate, but why does the red chord that connects you two together feel so heavy all of a sudden?

miya atsumu sighs, lifting a hand to run through his sweat-matted blond hair: your eyes follow the motion. it was easier to watch that red string and think about the way it wrapped around his fingers than to meet brown eyes that burned under a muted fury. “look, i—“ the voice that you always imagined would cause your heart to take flight on butterfly wings reaches your ears on a cold, flat tone that locks your body down to a barren winter land. “i know this isn’t what you expected for when you meet your soulmate.” by the time you finally pull your eyes to look at his face, they’re burning with tears and blur the image of him until he’s a blend of colours you can’t tell apart. his lips move behind a sheet of haze, like a spell cast over your vision that should protect you from breaking.

“but i don’t think i can be together with someone else right now.”

that spell can do nothing for your heart that rips apart underneath the blunt end of his blade.

when he looks at you, there’s something behind the light of anger and hatred — hatred for you, why does he hate you, you don’t understand... did you do something wrong? what you see behind flames of brown sugar and autumn leaves is a chasm: wide and glaring and so consumingly empty. it spits on the bedtime stories of warmth and unimaginable joy and fulfillment that a soulmate should bring — it chews on those fairytales and coughs them out on a plate of cold indifference, hate, contempt. and it hurts.

“o-oh,” you choke. there’s no way you can meet his eyes like this; your voice is cracking under the weight of your pain and your tears threaten to paint your skin with the colour of blood red agony. “i... I understand.” you don’t. this isn’t what your friends told you would happen. nothing prepared you for your own soulmate to reject you. “that’s fine, i—” breathing becomes hard, your very lungs reject the air that you so desperately drag between your trembling lips. when you look up at him, what hope that you feel is quickly smothered when you catch his eyes. he looks at you as if the sight of you here, on the verge of tears, disgusts him. “i can wait for you... i don’t mind.”

he scoffs: the sound of it is like the grating of metal against your ears. “sure, whatever.” and that’s how he leaves you. broken hearted and crying for the ache that cripples your body as the red chord tightens around your fingers.

now, the picture of him standing before you is so jarringly different that it causes your world to spin so violently that you feel as if your legs might collapse in on themselves. your reality turns itself on its side so that your cup spills out from between your hands and leaves your heart vulnerable to the cold water that floods through your body.

atsumu miya’s eyes are searching as he stands beneath the winter night’s sky, the brown colour in them filled up with a warmth that you know for a fact wasn’t there on that day you met him. there’s pain on his expression, regret so tangible that it tastes sour on your tongue, and when he says your name on trembling lips, you feel the last of your will crumble into dust.

“y/n...” he’s pleading. his eyes are wet with the same tears that had touched your cheeks throughout the two years he’d left you waiting. they tell the story of unmistakable suffering and agony — the familiarity of it tears your heart into pieces and leaves you gasping for air. “please.”

and oh, by the gods above, you want so desperately to welcome him into your arms, want nothing more than to hold him so that you can feel whole for the first time since meeting him. but the pain that still echoes inside your chest is loud and demanding, rumbling through your ribs like a thunderstorm that pushes words you don’t want to say out from between your lips. when they fall, they reach atsumu’s skin like the little snowflakes that fall from the winter sky. they melt into his tears and dig their way into his heart until he’s left breathless because he knows just how he hurt you.

“you made me wait for so long, atsumu.”

he can’t begin to tell you how much he regrets it.

“i’m sorry...” his apology falls from him like a whimper. it dances on his tongue so that he can taste the salt of his own tears. he discovers that it’s awfully bitter. “I shouldn’t have done that to you.”

the emptiness, the helpless acceptance in your voice echoes inside his mind. “i was so close to giving up, you know? i thought you’d be happier if you weren’t tied down to me...”

he knows. god, he knows. every minute of pain and hurt had trickled down to him through the red string that connects the both of you, and the knowledge that you suffered so much because of him, it tears him apart as he stands before you.

“no, please— i can’t live without you...”

he really can’t. he tried to forget about you. he threw himself out into a reckless life and ate the hearts of others who sought for his affection, hoping that they could somehow erase the wretched piece of cloth that tied him down. he submerged himself underwater hoping to breathe, and found himself drowning without you.

“you hurt me.”

“and i was selfish, i know...” he reaches out for you on a single, hesitant step that crumbles the snow beneath his shoes. when you don’t step away, he takes another, pushes himself forward until you’re standing directly in front of him, tear-stained eyes tilting upwards to stare into his. they’re burning, you notice: the fire that consumes the brown in them this time, though, is different. it’s changed.

he reaches for your hand, holds it between the both of his and cups it close to his chest, and his eyes never leave yours. they reveal to you the secrets that his lips won’t tell to you, they bare every ounce of yearning that his spirit screams out silently, and it’s as if every cell in his body is desperate to feel you against him when you can feel the heat of him through your gloves. “but let me make it up to you...” his whisper falls underneath the soft winds, it caresses your skin just as gently and, as you’re looking up at him, your soulmate, you can’t help the tears that sting behind your eyes. you realize that, just like back then, his image is blurred by the curtains of water, but now he glows like the sun itself. everything about him manages to warm your heart on a cold winter night, and god knows you’ll never forgive the pain that he’s caused you — all those years filled with doubt and insecurity and despair — but you think to yourself as you lift one of his hands to hold against your cheek that, at the very least, you want to take a chance with him.

his eyes shine like the stars when you show him a watery smile. “yes...” you whisper back to him. he thinks the sound of it is sweet, and he imagines that your voice may be what it means to dance among sunflowers.

“i want to take a chance with you, atsumu.”

send an ask to be added!

so this is admittedly one of my shorter works and i did struggle a little with transitioning from angst to fluff :( i originally had two ideas, this one which is mostly angst, and another that’s mostly fluff, but in the end i decided to go with this one since i know runa likes angst a lot :0 bb i hope it was okay!

for atsumu’s character in this i wanted to push across that he didn’t want to be tied down with a soulmate when he had his volleyball aspirations to follow through with. although i don’t recall it being specifically stated in canon, i get the feeling that his dedication towards volleyball is nearly on the same level as kageyama’s and oikawa’s, where they wouldn’t be able to give themselves into a relationship when they had their dreams to seek after. so at the point in time when he meets the reader, he’d already decided to disregard any attachment for his soulmate, and so his attitude towards them is a result of that decision he made. however, time spent intentionally trying to separate yourself from your soulmate causes suffering and i wanted to show in the end that it was that pain and longing that finally drove him back to the reader. i feel like if i’d shown from atsumu’s perspective, i could have portrayed that pain and suffering that he’d have gone through without her, but i really wanted to show that through the reader instead. did it work well?

this is part of a series, so please send me an ask or dm if you’d like to be apart of a taglist! i’m currently taking request for haikyuu characters and soulmate au’s, so please come and leave your requests for those as well! thank you for reading!  ♡
