#ah yes you need this crush thing I don't know the english name of

‘Ingen no Goma’ is my new favorite affordable & quick meal. Seasame seeds and soy sauce might be expensive the first time if you have to buy it just for that, depending where you live, but it will last a few dishes since you don’t need that much of it. Fits well with some chicken, other meat or fish 👌

The opposite of this ask "RO sees a hickey on the neck of the MC, but it's actually a mosquito bite". Because it's everywhere, I just want something new :O

RO thinks it's an insect bite, but it's a hickey from one-night stand. For the Oblivious!MC (who does not understand hints and romantic actions from the RO, simply because they are stupid and think they just act friendly.)

Gods, I hope I wrote this clearly, because in English I can only read normally👉👈

Your English is very good anon! Cheers to us multilingual peeps!

Assuming this is crushing stage!

Under the cut cuz it got way too long!

Yudai Sakaguchi: Will rather insist that it is a mosquito bite than the latter.

Yudai is so excited to see you again. He opened the café door with a light heart, his heart pounding.

"Hey there, superstar! How's life treating you lately?" That's when he noticed an odd bruise on your neck.

"Ah, it's that time again. Good thing I brought some ointment. Here, you can use it." Yudai handed you the ointment.

"Thanks, Yu. I told James not to leave a mark, but I guess the night was too wild." You said, applying the ointment to your neck as memories of last night flashed through your mind.

"…I don't think mosquitoes have names, MC." You looked at him to find him staring at you, wide-eyed.

"Oh no, this is a hickey. I had a rather wild night yesterday."

"A hickey?"

"Yes, a hickey."

"That's a hickey…?"

"Yes, Yu. I believe this is a hickey."

"A hickey, you say…"

Yudai was in a daze.

Vivienne Ramos: Will just stare at the hickey that you have no choice but to address it lol.

"Viv, you've been staring at my neck for an hour," you say, noticing her intense focus on your neck.

"I can ask my driver to get you some ointment from the store down the street," Vivienne responds, still fixated on your neck.

"Why though?" you ask, confused. You don't remember doing anything that would require ointment.

"A mosquito bite," she points at your neck. "That thing on your neck is a mosquito bite."

It takes you a moment to process her words, then realisation dawns on you.

"Oh! This isn't a mosquito bite! It's a hickey. Oh god, I told Jenna to be careful last night," you exclaim. But just as you're about to continue, you notice Vivienne's expression has grown noticeably more serious.

"It's either the one who will never notice me or the one who is too dense to notice me," you hear her mumble.

Héctor Alonso: Is amused at your obliviousness. Vows to be more vocal of his feelings for you.

"MC, is that a mosquito bite? Where did you get it? Do I need to call someone to get rid of the mosquitoes here? Are there even mosquitoes in this fancy house of yours?"

"Oh, this is a hickey. You know John, from my class."

"I see," Héctor said, falling silent.

After a moment, he added, "MC, are you the type to block out all advances because you think people are just being overly friendly, when in fact, they are actually romantically interested in you?"

"What?"

"You're too dense, MC. Too dense."

⋆⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺⋆ ⋆⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺⋆ ⋆⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺⋆ ⋆⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺⋆

Matyáš Dvořák: Will be more amused of his self for mistaking a hickey for a mosquito bite.

"Oh, is that a mosquito bite, MC? I have some mosquito repellent in my room that might help with your problem. The bite on your neck looks bad," you heard Mattie say as he walked towards you.

"This is a hickey. Fortunately or unfortunately, Jade left a reminder of our activity last night," you said to the redhead.

"A hickey? Oh, pfft." That wasn't the reaction you were expecting.

Matyáš kept giggling as if something amused him. You had no idea what it was.

"Uh… Mattie? What's so funny?"

"I can't believe I mistook a hickey for a mosquito bite at my age," he said, trying to stop giggling.

"Whatever makes you happy, I guess."

Both are idiots, anon.

Genevieve: Is matured about it and is amused at your obliviousness.

"Ah, MC, I noticed you have a mosquito bite on your neck. I went to the infirmary to get you some ointment for it." You turned around to see Genevieve.

"Oh, hi, Gen! Thank you, but this is actually a hickey. Still, thanks for the ointment. I didn't realize Jamie left a mark last night." You replied, taking the ointment from her.

"I'm sure it was a wild night." Genevieve smiled at you as she spoke.

"Well, kind of."

"I guess I have to work harder then. See you later, MC." Those were her last words before she walked away.

A Wadia: A blushing mess. A delulu. Someone save them.

"Hey there, MC! Oh, is that a mosquito bite? Does your room have a hole in it somewhere? How the hell did you get a mosquito bite?" Wadia asked as they took a seat next to you.

"Hello to you too, Amala/Amrit. This is actually a hickey, not a mosquito bite." You turned to them, moving your things to make space for theirs.

"A what? A hickey?!" Wadia's voice suddenly rose, their face turning bright red. Luckily, no one else was around.

"Yes, a hickey," you responded.

"B-but, how?" You couldn't believe they were asking this question.

"Um… it's because Jennie left a mark while we were… you know."

"Stop! Rated 18+! Mature content!" Their face reddened further as they tried to cover their ears, a desperate attempt to protect their doubtful innocence.

"Well… you asked, so I answered."

"So that's what it looks like in real life." You heard them mumbling to themselves.

"Why, do you want to have one too?" you asked, genuinely curious.

"Yes! I mean no. Wait, yes. Okay, that's enough embarrassment for today. I'll go sit over there in the corner. Bye!" You couldn't help but feel confused as you watched them walk away.

"I can't believe MC offered to give me a hickey. Oh god, I said yes with so much enthusiasm," you heard them muttering as they walked off.

When did you make such offer?

Can you write Ciel with a gn s/o whose natively French but had to move to England for better business opportunities?

Hello!! Anon

To be honest I didn't know what exactly to do but I did what I think you wanted?

If not then feel free to send me it again or dm and i'll fix it. If you can't dm then send another request thing saying what you wanted fixed.

I didn't know if this was an (x) or not so....

"Y/n L/n?..Hmm their name sounds rather different" Said Ciel as he took a sip of his tea. "Ah, well yes, young master. L/n had came to England for better business opportunities; they had came from France"

Sebastian announced. Ciel looked down at the papers that where on his desk before sighing and taking another sip. "Then why come here?..Bring them in" Ciel says as he thought in his head--> 'Don't I already have enough servants? there is no need for more.'

"Hello?" You said with a slight accent, Ciel looked up at you and was token aback, You were beautiful/handsome.(aww cute)

"ah Hello, take a seat" Ciel gestured for you to sit down on the chair in front of him. You did as you were told and began to speak. "I'm Y/n L/n but i'm sure you're well aware of that" "Yes, may I ask but why have you came here of all places?" You smiled "I thought it was a nice start" Ciel noticed that you seemed quiet confident that you'll get the spot, he also noticed your English was quiet well which is odd for most travelers that come to England.

"I see,...I'll have you meet the other servants, they'll teach you what is need to be done though I highly recommend you learn from Sebastian" "Thank you..but i'm a little lost, I don't know anyone from here." "You needn't worry, Sebastian is waiting outside the room, he'll accompany you for the day showing you around and greeting the servants."

. Once you left Ciel told himself to keep an eye on you but not because he thought you'd steal something or do something bad but because he had token interest in you.

Ciel would often talk to you far more then other and it often surprised other, Sebastian though would always take this in and tease Ciel later about it saying that his interest had token form of a so called crush, Ciel would of course deny it because he already had Elizabeth but deep down inside he knew some feeling were growing, it's only a matter of time before they get bigger and grow out.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

With the final bell ringing and college classes ending for the day, you snatched up your bag and book you’ve read off and on that week before heading over to the courtyard that was near the on-campus dorms. Stopping by a vending machine first to grab a drink then seating yourself on a bench and getting comfortable while you wait for your company to arrive.

“Yeah! And that’s- HA! That’s when Wilbur just… oh!-” The nearing sound of Tommy’s voice cut off along with the softer laughing from Tubbo. You were very obviously engrossed in your book, but now you just feigned reading as you listen closely to the sound of slow footsteps nearing behind your bench. The two of them were horrible about being sneaky since you could easily hear hushed laughs as they desperately tried keeping each other quiet.

Right as you heard them stop moving, you couldn’t help but smile to yourself before turning around suddenly and lunging at them over the back of the bench with a half effort grab at Tommy’s extended hand, and yelling. Tommy screamed back, stumbling back a  few paces and Tubbo just stumbled before backing up to the bench and busted out laughing.

“Ey what the hell!” He scoffed despite not being able to hold back his growing smile, shoving his hands into his pockets. “I’ll remember that bitch, I’m gonna get you back.” he walked over to you and sat on the other side of the bench, giving you a hard glare when you laughed a little bit though it was mostly from Tubbo’s hysterical laughter. He took a deep breath and calmed himself so he could jump over the back of the bench and sit between you and Tommy.

The two boys were your underclassmen, being freshmen while you were a sophomore. The three of you met in your coding class. You were there mostly to get your English degree and major in said area, but you figured while you had the opportunity you would take classes on things you didn’t know much about. There, you met Wilbur, a senior and Tommy’s oldest brother, and he helped you quite a bit with understanding bits of coding that were a bit too confusing for you at first and were quickly becoming friends with him. That was until Tommy entered the picture. First, you just saw him as Wilbur’s chaotic younger brother who just happened to be in the coding class as well but after some insisting that you get to know him from Wilbur, you hung out one weekend in the library. One weekend turned to two then almost every weekend once he introduced you to Tubbo as well and you all had become a true trio.

You got to know Tommy’s family pretty well. His single father, Phil, who was just like a second parent to you now, and Wilbur who acted just like the older brother you never had. You knew them well despite having known them all for less than a year. The only hang-up is when it came to Tommy’s other brother. You knew he had an actual name, but only knew him by his nickname since that’s what everyone referred to him by. That would be Technoblade. The two of you had a couple of literature classes together and the fact that he was only one grade above you, you’d figure that you could befriend him with ease. Now, it’s not like he was big and scary, he was more tall and lanky but he was smart and he had some vibe around him that just petrified you. You couldn’t ever build up the courage to be around him which made it quite an issue since you were best friends with his brother, though this wasn’t an issue you had ever brought up to any of them.

“So how did classes go for you guys today?” You asked as you pulled one of your legs up onto the bench and closed your book which you held close to your chest.

“Fucking shitty! I got a fuck ton of extra work, like I know it’s college and the weekend but let me live.”

“We got one essay to write, it’s two pages long.” Tubbo reiterated with a smile while Tommy grumbled and leaned his head back so he was looking up at the sky. “What about you Y/n?”

“It wasn’t bad, I don’t have any extra work other than a bit of coding to do. Oh speaking of, Tommy?” You reached your foot over and kicked his leg to get his attention, only continuing when he was looking at you. “Is Will gonna be free at all? ‘Cause I need some help with this stuff.”

Tommy perked up a bit, sitting up to get his phone out. “Oh you're right, I actually need help with it too.” He mumbled while texting and staring at the screen as he waited for a reply. “Uhh okay so he says… I’m visiting some friends so I won’t have time… blah blah uh but ask Techno, I heard he’s pretty good at coding. Nice! That’s perfect, you can just come over to my house and-”

“Ah, you know what- I actually think I’m okay.” You quickly interrupted him, pulling your laptop out of your bag to aimlessly scroll through the assignment you were given. “It can’t even be that hard I’m sure… I can figure it out.” You said with as much confidence as you could muster despite knowing full well you’ll be completely lost as soon as you try to start on the work.

“Come on, we both know that’s a lie, you're so shit at this stuff.” He said light-heartedly and watched you ‘work’. “Seriously, just come over. I’m sure Techno is good at this stuff, if anything we can pay him to do the work.”

“It’s fine- really. I think I’ll just wait for Monday, I can ask Wilbur for help then.” You closed your laptop, keeping your gaze on it for a moment before looking over at Tubbo and Tommy who were giving you both a puzzled look. “What?”

“You don’t…” Tubbo started to speak but Tommy pushed him back with an arm on the chest so he could lean over to look at you closer.

“You don’t have a crush on Techno, do you?” He said and squinted at them as if disgusted by the thought.

“What!? No!” You sat up taller and looked at him, baffled that he resorted to that.

“Well, then what the hell is the problem! Just come over and he can teach us!” 

“I just… he’s kinda…” You grew flustered and found a loss for good words as you realized you were going to admit this. “He’s scary.”

Tommy busted out laughing and wheezed hard, doubling over as he coughed and laughed some more, stumbling over words as he tried to talk but was laughing too hard. Even tubbo who was trying to hold back, joined Tommy which only made them bounce off each other in their hysterics.

“Wha- I’m serious! Do you two not think he’s intimidating!?” You looked at both of them desperately as you could feel the heat that had risen to your cheeks.

“He’s literally-” Tubbo’s laughter interrupted him. “He’s a nerd! How the hell is he scary?” He settled down a bit and nudged Tommy to get him to calm down too, luckily he got his fit of laughter out.

“Oh my god, no I’ve got to go home now.” He grabbed his backpack that had been discarded behind the bench and looked at you once more before laughing more. “Scared of Techno- oh my god. That's good, that’s a good one. Bye bitches!” He saluted both of you before running off.

“Tommy I swear to god if you tell anyone I will deck your shit!!” You stood up, holding your laptop in hand, to yell at him but just stood there defeated once he turned a corner around a building. Tubbo got up beside you, laughing as he put his hands in his hoodie pocket.

“I wish I could give him the benefit of the doubt… but he’s gonna tell Techno. And Wilbur. And Phil for sure.” 

“Yeah... I’m sure he will. I’m going to my dorm, I’ve got to call my mom.”

“Aww-” You put your hand over his mouth, but took it away as soon as he shut up so he wouldn’t lick your palm.

“Shut- I don’t wanna hear shit from you too. Anyway, get home soon and don’t get kidnapped.” You turned away to put your laptop and book into your backpack and zipped it up before pulling it over one shoulder. You looked back at Tubbo and put your fist up to him.

“I’ll kick them in the balls, don’t worry.” He laughed a little and bumped his fist to yours and walked backward a few paces, waving at you. “Tell your mom I said hi!”

You waved back at him and stood to wait and watch him walk off along the stone path until he was fully out of sight to make your way to your dorm, which was right in the courtyard area.

-

Monday came around and with the school day partially over, you made your way to your coding class. You of course didn't end up doing the assigned homework even though you gave it a good try and just decided to rely on Wilbur's help.

You walked into class and took in a deep breath, it was always cool and smelt of coffee since the teacher brewed a cup before your class every day. Making your way over to your usual computer you looked over to see Tommy sitting in your spot beside Wilbur and chatting to him. You guessed he heard you coming or saw Wilbur look your way because he looked back and grinned wide which never meant good.

"Ey look at who it is! Wonderful seeing you again, how was your weekend?"

"Fine." You said, looking down at him and kicking his foot. "I don't like how you're acting, what the hell did you do?"

He just feigned innocence and looked offended that you could assume such a thing. "Me? Me!?" He leaned forward, hand gracefully on his chest. "I cannot believe you right now, I'm hurt Y/n! Truly hurt."

You scoffed with an eye roll and sat on the other side of Wilbur since the seat was free. As soon as you set your bag down and went to turn toward the two, Wilbur was already facing you and leaning on the desk area for the keyboard in a way that looked like he needed to say something in secret.

"You good?"

He just waved you down and you leaned forward to listen. "You're not… actually afraid of Technoblade are you?"

"Tommy you little shit!" You jumped up, nearly hitting Wilbur but he moved back in time. Tommy laughed and fled to the other side of the room where he normally sat so you just grumbled and took your seat.

"Well?"

"Is no one else? He's intimidating, I feel like he'd call me out on all my insecurities if I inconvenienced him. And THEN he would hold me at knifepoint till I left him alone."

Wilbur snorted and hung his head as he softly laughed, you reached over and hit his arm before leaning closer to whisper. “I’m serious Wilbur! He scares me!”

He looked back up at you with the most amused look. “Come on, you can’t be friends with this family without knowing techno. Honestly. Talk to him today. You two have the same literature class at the end of the day right?” He asked as he sat up and leaned back into his chair to turn his computer on and log into the coding website.

“I mean yeah but- what does that have to do with anything.” You asked, but Wilbur didn’t reply as he just stared at his screen so you leaned forward to get into his peripheral vision. “Will, what does that have to do with anything? I’m not talking to him, I hope you know that.”

-

You were wrong. Nearing the end of your literature class, you sat there listening to the teacher while completely lost on the assignment. Usually, it wouldn’t be too much of an issue because you would just give it the best attempt you could and see where you messed up at the end to better understand the work. It wasn’t the best tactic but you liked it better than having to ask for help. But now, this was a big and grade-determining assignment, not one you could afford to flunk.

The class was given five minutes to start on or look over the work at the end of the class. You leaned back in your chair, staring at your paper at a loss, and listened to the sound of people moving around the class near you. You didn’t try to look up since you assumed it was friends going to sit together and gossip. That was until you noticed someone took the seat beside you and shuffled a bit closer. Pulling the paper away from your face to look, you froze instantly upon locking eyes with Technoblade who was smiling lightly. You had never seen him this close, the most notable thing was his dyed light pink hair that had grown out brown roots and you could even see in his smile how his top and bottom canine teeth were a bit longer than normal and looked like he had small fangs and tusks.

He pushed his glasses up before crossing his arms and leaning forward on his desk. “Hey so I know you’re terrified of me, but it looks like you’re having a bit of an issue.” You opened your mouth to speak but were just met with a loss for words and just averted your eyes, continually glancing back at him for a moment as you were unsure what to do. He snorted lightly, bringing his hand up to stifle his laugh, and cleared his throat. “Yeah sorry for bein’ so big and scary but I can help ya. Come one, show me what you are confused with Y/n.”

“You- you know my name?” You looked right at him finally to which he raised an eyebrow at you quizzically.

“Well yeah. Did you really expect me not to? You’re besties with both of my brothers and my dad loves having you over. I was just waiting for you to say hi to me.” He leaned back, fidgeting with a ring with his hands. “Didn’t think you’d actually be scared of me, thank Tommy for snitching. He talked about it all weekend.”

You groaned, leaning forward to run your hands over your face and sigh, swearing that you’d smack him once school was out.

“Oh shi-” You looked at Techno and he was checking the time on his phone. “Hey, class is about to end. You’re not gonna be busy are you?”

“Uh… not, no I’m not.”

“Great.” He got up, moving the desk back to its original place and trotting over to grab his bag, and looking back to you. “Get your stuff and meet me at the south entrance, we can work on it back at my house.” And without giving you a chance to try to object, he called to the teacher saying that he was going to leave a minute early to get his stuff together since he rented a locker a bit away from the classroom and the teacher waved him off.

Reluctantly, you went back to your dorm which was close to where you had class. You dropped off unneeded books and grabbed a granola bar from a box you kept in your room then headed toward the entrance Techno told you to meet him at. And of course, walking up the sidewalk to the doors you saw him there sitting on a bench with his bag beside him. He saw you and jumped up, waving you over to him as he started walking immediately. While you were still behind him, you sent a picture to Tommy, Tubbo, and Wilbur of him walking in front of you and adding the caption ‘i did it :P’. 

The two of you chatted while you walked through the neighborhood and despite light teasing on how scary he was, he was easy to talk to and you had a lot in common with him. It was a shame you hadn’t taken the initiative to talk to him before. In no time, you were walking through the door after him into the familiar home where Phil greeted you with a surprised but happy look and offered snacks which Techno graciously took before heading to his room.

To your surprise, Technoblade is the best tutor you have ever had. He is attentive and incredibly patient when trying to figure out where you are having struggles and he’s smart. Like he knows every single bit of what is supposed to be brand new information from the class. Not even two hours into him helping you, you understood the assignment completely and you both spent the next three hours sitting on his bed and working together. You joked with him and he held the same energy while keeping the focus on working and even swapped laptops with him to check it over for each other.

You broke your gaze from the endless lines of text on your laptop screen to look at the window and seeing the orange sky around trees and over top of houses that indicated the setting sun. “Oh my gosh!” You scrambled off the bed, carefully stuffing papers back into your bag. “I didn’t even realize what time it was- Technoblade thank you a million for helping me. I appreciate it so much, but I need to get back to my dorm! I promised my roommate I’d help her cook dinner tonight.” You grabbed your laptop off of the bed and put it into your bag, closing it all up quickly.

Slinging it over your shoulder and adjusting it, you turned to make your way out of the room but you were stopped by a tug and looked back to see Techno holding onto your bag and looking displeased. “Not yet.”

“Wha- I need to go though-”

“It’s a tradition in this house to hug anyone before they leave, you should know that from my dad.” He let go and opened his arms up to you.

You turned to him and tilted your head a little. “You’re joking…”

He just smiled smugly and waited. You glanced at the doorway but gave in and closed the bit of distance, hugging him to which he returned snugly and spoke softly to you. “You’re a good person. I’m glad to have gotten to know you and I hope you’ll come back. I promise I’m not all that bad.” With that, he slowly let go and patted your arm before gently shoving you toward the doorway and plopping down on his bed. “Have a good night!”

“Uh.. yeah, you too!” You said back, still surprised by the exchange. His words swam through your mind as you went to leave the house, hugging Phil on your way out and wishing him a good night as well. Finally checking your phone on the walk home, you found a supportive and proud text from Wilbur, a dirty joke from Tommy, and something in between from Tubbo.

You laughed to yourself, amused by the differences in the messages. It was times like these that you most found appreciation for the three. Mentally you had to correct yourself though. The whole family was good. This you can say for sure now.

💎💍TO CATCH A THIEF💍💎

Prompt: Inspired by the song: To Catch A Thief by Lovage

Word Count: Really Long, girl 😩

Pairings: 1930’s Mob! Roman Reigns x Reader

Warnings: Cursing, smut (implied), murder, manipulation.

Tagging: @ziasaph , @marlananicole , @akiko-tanaka , @nicolewoo , @saccreigns , @mindofasagittaruis , @reigns-5sos , @auawdo , @lustyromantic , @babydee17 , @yungbludjazz360

Notes: As cliche as it sounds, I’m a truly lover of music and love different genres. I love to be able to show different types of bands/ projects/ music that sometimes people might not even know exists. So this little fic is inspired by one of my favorite music projects EVER: LOVAGE (it has Mike Patton on it, so of course I would love it! The man has been my musician crush since I was 9 years old! And he’s amazing, so). Y’all know the drill loves,sorry for misspellings,english isn’t my first language (bla bla bla),check out my other stories if you’d like to(it would make your girl here very happy 😊) You can check them out on my Masterlist. Okay,now let’s get to the fun part, shall we? Hope you’ll enjoy 😉

Of course I’ve heard of them and of course they’ve caught my interest! The Reigns’s and Uso’s were one of the biggest gangsters families among the USA, who were responsible for the biggest robberies across the country.

The current rumors spreading around the neighborhood swore they were here, hiding from the authorities, in our small little town.

And I would give anything to meet one of them. As the daughter of a prostitute, my only fate was to follow my mother’s footsteps but I am more ambitious than that! The only way to prosper in life is to be completely feared. Be feared not respected as Machiavelli himself taught. And I know, for a fact that, that is completely true! Growing up in the red light neighborhood had proved to be quite the life lesson, actually. ‘Don’t trust the police’, ‘Make alliances with criminals’, ‘Trust no one’, ‘Don’t snitch’, ‘You never hear or see anything’, ‘Mind your own business’, ‘Don’t allow people to mind YOUR business’, ‘Show no emotions’, ‘Always be smarter than your enemies’, were a few of those rules. People think that, for a woman to be perfectly successful in the 1930’s she needs to be a trophy wife, nothing more than a beautiful face with zero brains and a pair of open legs to a rich husband. But they are wrong! You see, any woman can use her beauty and charm to manipulate and conquer whatever she wants, but she can only maintain that manipulation power if she’s smart enough. I’ve had the town mayor, Mr. Heyman, gift me a beautiful diamond crown (that originally was meant to be his wife’s birthday present) just with some charm and sweet nothings whispered to him. I didn’t needed to warm his bed for it, I just had to be smart enough to understand his weaknesses and say the right words! I know what I want, so I get it, and believe me when I say: I will have Roman Reigns all to myself.

Things were disappearing in my neighborhood

Once again somebody was up to no good

I saw that you were wanted, but not like I wanted you

And that's when I knew I had to be with you

And that's when I knew if I didn't, I'd be through

To end my grief I'd have to catch a thief

Your love was my relief my love is your release.

Ah! Mayor Heyman’s high society ‘charity gala balls’ (aka meet your husband’s new mistress), were the most futile yet amusing events of this town. I wasn’t a high society woman, economically speaking but again I’m good at saying the right things to the right people. So it’s no surprise to see my name in the mayor’s guest list.

I entry the big doors of the city hall wearing my most recently acquisition: an emerald green velvet dress (gifted by the Senator John), my high heels (Another gift from Mr. Smith, the banker) and my hand purse (from the all so lovely Mayor Heyman)...Speak of the Devil.

“Y/N” He greeted

“Oh, Mayor Heyman. What an honor” I smiled sweetly

“Believe me, it’s my honor, dear” He kisses my hand in an flirtatious way. And it’s a good thing I’m great at keeping my gag reflex in control.

“Oh please, I’m the one who has to thank you for always reminding little old me for your tremendously chic events. I can’t express my gratitude enough for you always having so much compassion in your heart!” I scoot closer to him, slightly fixing his tie “It is such a shame that you’re a married man, mayor Heyman, I would have loved to be your wife” I whispered softly

He gulped “I can change that” He smirked

“Oh please, mayor!” I stepped back with a offended look on my face “As a Christian woman, I cannot support divorce! That is some type of thinking that will lead us directly back to sodom and gomorrah! I can’t believe you just said that to me” I make the sign of the cross

“I am so sorry, Y/N it was not my intention-“

“I am not a prostitute or a home wrecker, mayor Heyman! I am a woman devoted to the Lord and I will not accept or tolerate that type of language or insinuations towards me!”

“I am deeply sorry Y/N, I truly am! Let me make it up to you. Here” He fastly signed a blank check “Please take this”

“I can’t” I whisper, pretending embarrassment

“Please, Y/N! It’s the least I can do. You can use it for whatever you want, no matter the price. I could never offend you! You’re such an amazing woman. Please accept it!” His pleading eyes let me know I had him hooked.

I ‘reluctantly’ accepted “Well, thank you, so much” I murmur with tears upon my eyes

“No, I’m the one who has to thank you, for dismissing my ogre behavior” He smiled “I’ll leave you now, so you can fix your makeup”

“Thank you, mayor Heyman”

Once he’s out of my sight, I can drop the naïve girl routine.

“Impressive” A deep male voice spoke from behind me

When I turn around, my knees almost failed me... it was him.

“I beg your pardon?” I ask

“The little stunt you just did with the mayor, was truly impressive. I swear that if I didn’t saw you get out of your naïve christian woman character I would have one hundred percent believed too” He smirked

“Mr. Reigns. That’s a compliment coming from you”

“You know who I am”

I shrugged “I’ve heard a few things here and there”

He gets closer to me, until our faces almost touched

“Yeah? Tell me, Y/N. That’s your name right?” He asked and I nodded

“What have you heard, Y/N?”

“How your the head of the table on your family’s business” I mumbled

“How does a woman like you, know about my family’s business, Y/N?” He walks forward, making me step back until I my back reached a closed door.

“I was raised on the streets”

Roman’s eyebrows raise in surprise “Really? You don’t seem like the streets type” He said, caressing my cheek.

“I had to learn how to be more polished if I didn’t wanted to become a hooker”

“I see” He buried his nose on my neck, inhaling deeply my perfume as his hands rested on my waist “And I imagine your perfume is also a result from a similar scene with the mayor” Roman whispered in my ear

“The senator not the mayor” I cackled

He amusingly laughs on my ear “You have friends in high places, huh?” His hands moved up, cupping my breasts through the dress

“People use what they have, Mr. Reigns” I look into his eyes “You use you intimidating strength” I squeeze his biceps “And I use my womanly charm” I batted my lashes “They’re both means to an end”

Come into my window

It's open every night

That's where I'll be waiting

I'll keep off all the lights

I'm lying on my bed

Crown jewels on my head

The loud knocks on my front door made me quickly get up. Going down the stairs I can see a tall manly figure waiting for me to come and answer. I grab my Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless gun from the little drawer on my cupboard.

Placing my finger on the trigger I opened the door.

“Yes?” I ask harmlessly

“Mrs. Y/N?” The tall Samoan man asked

I nodded once

“My name is Jey and I’m here in behalf of Mr. Reigns”

I nodded again

“Why don’t you come and take a ride with me?” Jey coldly smiled

I'd never give you up

So come in from the cold, let your guard down

I'd hide you from the cops

Don't be frightened now my love

I'll take the life of crime, all to make you mine

The hotel room is big, fancy and very expensive by the looks of it. If I had to take a lucky guess, I would say that he’s not paying for anything in here, it is all a curtesy from the mayor.

“I’m glad you came” Roman smiles

“Did I had a choice?” I tilted my head

“No, you didn’t” He chuckled “Can I offer you anything to drink?”

“Are you going to drug me if I say yes?” I joke

“Depends on your answer to my proposal” He smirked

“Proposal?”

“Yes” Roman got up from his chair coming to stand in front of me

“You see, Y/N. You’re a very, very interesting woman. Ambitious, smart, charming, intelligent and gorgeous. You’re not easily scared, in fact, it looks like you enjoy danger” He pulled me closer to him, until our bodies were pressed together “I could use a woman like you in my business. At the gala ball you told me about your goals in life and I could see with my own eyes you successfully work your magic on every men in that room. So, what I propose to you is: come with me, I’m leaving town tomorrow and I would like for you to come with me, be a part of my team, use your looks and your brain to our favor.”

“And what’s in it for me?” I asked

“Money, power, jewels...Anything you want” He sincerely said

“What if I would like to add you to that package?” I whispered

Come in off that roof top

You're so handsome dressed in black

See you in the shadows

I'd like to see you on your back

Take this precious treasure

And I will treasure you

Roman smirked “So be it! If you want me too, then you can have me”

He leaned down, capturing my lips in a famished kiss. Pushing me down on the bed, his broad body hovering over mine, grinding, kissing, biting, panting, pounding and moaning until the first rays of sunshine from the next day peaked through the curtains...

6 MONTHS LATER

“What do you say about we take a drink, Mrs. Reigns?” Tony, my husband’s arch enemy and Capo of the Italian Mob asked

“I would love to” I smile sweetly as I hook my arm in his. Going to the back alley.

“I figured it was already time for you to leave that husband of yours for a real man, you know? And I knew you would come to me, sugar” Tony winked

“You’re right, Tony. I do need a real man” I smirked to the shadows when the gun fired.

Tony’s body fell down by my side on the dirty alley street

“But you didn’t thought you were that man, right?” I cackled

Roman’s arm circle around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

“Hello Tony” He smiled “Did you really thought you could have her?” Roman chuckled “C’mon, we both know she’s too much of a woman for you! You can’t handle it! I bet you’re regretting to have thought with your dick now, don’t you?”

“She will leave you eventually Reigns. Just wait for it!” Tony spat

I pressed my high heel on his chest wound, pressing it down and making Tony scream in agony

“You watch your mouth, you fucking fat pig! You know nothing, you ARE NOTHING! I would never leave Roman for you” I laugh “I will never leave him for anyone” I smile at him, aiming to his head and pressing the trigger right afterwards.

We'll run away my dear

Some place special have no fear

We'll even change our names

We'll be kinky, we'll be strange

I'll take the life of crime, all to make you mine

All to catch a thief

Your love is my relief, my love is your release

Your love is my relief, my love is your release

All to catch a thief

“You are perfect” Roman whispered, kissing me vigorously in front of Tony’s dead body. “C’mon. Let’s get out of here” He opened the passenger door of his Rolls Royce and I enter it.

Once we’re driving through the highway he says

“I can’t wait for us to get to the hotel” Roman kisses my hand, intertwining our fingers “I’m going to fuck you senseless” He growls

And I can’t help the happiness smile that spreads on my lips..

ATEEZ Reaction To: Catching them off-guard by being naked

Hii, I've noticed your requests are open. And i've been seeing your Ateez reactions recently, which are amazing. :D I just wondered, do you think you could do an Ateez reaction where their S.O. walks into the room naked while they are playing a game, working on music etc? (Kind of like that new Tik tok trend going around atm) x

Guuurl, sorry I waited so long to actually do something about this ask lol, but hopefully this will make you happy :)

• He kept his eyes trained on the pages

• And uh-uh, that wouldn’t do 😤

• Also, who let him act like a little hoe in their comeback? Keep your shirt down, mister, it’s not safe

• Gorl has nothing to do in his sparetime because he’s not too big of a gAMeR, but he does like to play phone games when he’s especially bored

• Would probably be playing like fuckin uhhhh candy crush or something when you said “lemme do sum a lil crazy 😌💅“

• You were kinda just curious to see what his reaction would be if you showed up witcha tiddies out

• So you got out the shower and half-assedly threw on a silk robe that Hwa got you for your birthday, not tying it or anything, but rather letting it slip off your damp shoulders while the front sat open and displayed your body for all to see

• His reaction when you leant against the doorframe and fake pouted?

• Immediate 📉

• Everday and night he’s gon chase you frfr

• “C’mere...,” He’d mumble, tossing his phone to the side 

• Level thirty-seven could wait ;)

Yunho ♡:

• Playing pc games at home is one of his favorite things to do (He’s even said so)

• PC games are his go-to when he gets bored of console

• So he’s constantly in his lil gaming room so that if you’re ever sleeping, he doesn’t wake you up

• He was on a multiuplayer session of Valorant when you decided to ruin his gaymer grind

• F in the chat boys

• “Yunho?”

• “Yes?” He stops his hastily typed directions to his game buddies in favor of giving you a quick glance from his chair, and has to look over again to make sure he's seeing things right

• Yeah, he was definitely seeing the pretty rise of your breasts and smoothness of your thighs, revealed from the towel now on the floor, right. Especially the way both of those lovely attributes were becoming larger as you approached him

• "W-woah!" He rushes to shield his eyes, though you only giggle and swivel his chair around in order to straddle him, removing his hands from his face

• "What? Am I too repulsive to?"

• "No! No it's just...," Yunho trails off, letting out a shaky breath and trying his best to not stare so obviously. Literally just paying attention at anything but what you wanted him to

• You only grin, tilting his chin to you face you head-on, "It's ok to look, baby. Don't be so shy"

• a forgotten game and heated chair sex is what would lead to your surprise

• kiss kiss for baby 😘

Yeosang ♡:

• We need more Yeosang gifs, this is ridiculous y'all ;(. Also, we're just... Not gonna talk about San on the side 💀

• Oh oh! And Yeosang getting bolder on stage is my favorite thing

• soooo snowboarding

• Yeosang said he likes to do that in his free time

• He'd just got a new custom board, which the front had lovely baby blue dripping forest face and the meaning of his name painted in black for the back, "Sound Resonating From A High Point."

• He was waxing it in the kitchen with it sat atop the island for easier space when he felt your arms slide around his waist, to which he smiled at, still continuing his work

• "Hello there," he mused

• "Baby, what would you do if I told you I was naked?"

• bitch hUH??

• He really did not waste time with turning in your hold and IMMEDIATELY looking down to see what you're wearing

• He chuckles upon , giving a cat whistle before bending down to set you on top of the counter

• "What's this for?"

• "Bored," you purse your lips, allowing yourself to lean back on your forearms as you spread your legs, "And you seemed like a good time-passer"

• Yeosang hums, falling to his knees easily enough and pulling you towards the edge of the island, then presses an affectionate kiss to your inner thigh

• "Fair enough"

San ♡:

• San likes to spiffy up on his English, which is still pretty hard for him even if you assure him that he's doing just fine when he speaks it around your family

• That being said, you'll sometimes catch him at the table with a textbook in front of him and a language journal by the side that he uses to write small romanizations

• You were particularly bored today. And damn, was San looking good with his messy black hair and shirtless torso. He never really did wear shirts around the house.

• "Sannie," You sang from the doorframe, fresh out of the shower and a bit sexually frustrated considering San hadn't touched you for a couple weeks due to your busy schedule

• He hummed in acknowledgement, jotting something down in the journal as he alternated between both the book and notebook

• You knew he was busy but his English really wasn't bad, so it didn't need to be now. It could wait a bit longer

• Sighing, you drop the towel from your body and fling it at San, which makes him jump and pull it from off of his head, looking towards you immediately and gasping

• You put a hand on your hip, giggling at how he tries to calm himself down

• lol goofy boy

• "C'mon, I know you're tired, I can help you relax," you gesture with a finger in a beckoning motion, and like he was already planning on it, he hops up from his seat and follows you back to the bedroom

• sorry if this was kinda boring lol, let's just San could have literally any reaction and frankly, this is probably the most tame he would be

Mingi ♡:

• Like Yunho in a lot of ways

• He does like to play games (probably PC, too), so you already know he'd be mashing that controller in the living room lol

• "Aww man, are you kidding me!?"

• Mingi gets shy, especially when it comes to you, so when you decided it'd be a good idea to step in front of the screen while he was playing Zelda with the towel around your body held open, he was a visual representation of keyboard mashing

• "Woah—Ohmygod-" [insert Minnie baby accidentally throwing his controller in his haste to cover his eyes]

• "You don't want me?" You ask, pouting and tilting your head

• His response is spreading two of the fingers across his eyes to peek, nodding his head frantically but trying to find the right words so he doesn't make you sad, "You just scared me is all! I don't wanna be rude by looking when you don't want me to or anything..."

• He takes his fingers away to hold them out instead, making grabby hands until you smile and crawl into them, in turn, climbing on top of his lap and letting him press his face into the valley between your breasts so he could kiss the skin there while looking at you

• "I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea," he mumbles, nuzzling his head farther down

• "No baby, you're fine," You reassure him with a hand ruffling the strands of his hair

• sweet hanky panky alert 🚨 sweet hanky panky alert 🚨

Wooyoung ♡:

• it's the large ass gif of Woo and his ponytail for me

• Oh and yeah, I know this doesn't quite fit theme of YOU walking in on them to flash your boobies but you're gonna keep your mouth shut and pretend it does 😏

• Another gamer.. damn this is getting repetitive

• hmmm

• Dance practice it is! 😃

• Woo doesn't like repeatedly practicing the same moves over and over again, but he did like the progress he made with each re-do, so he supposes he'll bear with the exhaustion

• Well.. obviously not now, because he's just walking through the bedroom door when he finally registers that you're sitting on the bed, lying on your stomach and scrolling through your phone with a leg raising your body go the side

• You snap your head to look at him, "Ah, there you are," you grin, pushing yourself up to a sitting position, "Thought you were gonna come home late again"

• Wooyoung let's out a snort as he closes the door behind him and drops his dance bag to the side, already taking his inky black hair out of the ponytail it was previously in and shaking it loose

• "What a nice surprise"

Jongho ♡:

• No thoughts, only buff babie

• And how he sung "sex in the morning baby" with a scary amount of aggression

• lol it makes sense that sweetie likes to play racing games on his computer

• LITerally so precious ;(

• Same trope (yes I'm a disappointment); Jongie plopped onto his lil chair with a fluffy blanket around his shoulders and headphones on that cute little head of his

• He said "I love playing car games, vroom vroom y'all 😤"

• And you said "I love playing surprise games, yes yes 😈"

• Gorl, when I tell you he squeaked out of surprise at how you turned his chair around to face you ;(

• "Uhh... Am I- Am I supposed to be looking?" He stammers, eyebrows raised and eyes locked on your bare front

• "By all means, baby," you purr, shaking your head with a familiar fondness at the boy in awe before you

• Just like Joong, he never tires of seeing you naked. He loves looking at you when you're nude, because it's when he can appreciate all aspects of you

• "Hang on, let me pause the game, I'll meet you in the bedroom"

• Getting intimate with Jongho is quite easy. He'll pretty much always say yes to sex, and it's pretty casual when you hint at it

_________________________________________

The way to your grandmother's house was very tiring even you were not the one who drive the car but like you've been stopped at rest area so often plus the weather was very hot for you.

Once you arrived at your grandmother's house, you guys were greeted by the the maids. Then they lead you to the living room. There, finally you met your grandma.

"Heeeyyy ,Oh My granddaughters! Miss both of you so bad !"

Grandma opened her arms as she welcomed us to hug her so we running along until we got into her hug. She kissed our top of head also our cheeks.

"How you've been, Nana?" I asked her while sitting next to her on the couch that made by  animal's skin.

"I'm great!  I just missed you guys so so much!

Kyaa~ Haneul yah!  Why don't you often bring them here? You also didn't always visit me. You know I've been so lonely after the death of your father! "

Mama fixed her hairbun prepared herself to answer Nana's question.

"I'm sorry, Ma. I'm just busy with all my clients-"

"Fuck your clients!  Your mother is more important!"

"Ma, don't be like that. I promise you to visit you as often as needed after all of the cases settled up at the court."

"I don't care. I made decision."

"What decision, Nana? " I, hugged her right arms, looked into her eyes.

She looked at me for second then she turned to face mama back.

"I want both of my grandchild to stay with me"

My heart dropped down-

but my little sister cheered up as she like to be with nana just because nana fulfill her needs.

"Kyaa~" I pushed little bit her head bit getting scolded by my father.

"Park Jeannie!"

"Ma, but Jeannie would enter her university so soon. Also Jane gonna have her first homeschool session." My father suddenly exist in that situation.

"I insist. She can took over the chocolate company after she get her training months."

I saw fire in Nana's eyes. So did my parents too.

Yeah. Even they don't mind about me a lot but they seems won't lose me. like I stil need home cause it's not faraway from haechan.

"Nana-"

"Okay! Let's have our special meals!" She cut me deliberately.

"Yeaayyy.  Nana did you make my favourite Sandwich?"

"Of course, honeybun! Now let's go all of you."

-

At night.

"Fuck. I hate this." You groaned alone on the bed thinking how you would be without seeing your boyfriend for not a single day also after you moved into your grandmother's house soon.

You looked up at the white flower decorated ceiling and that things still wandered in your mind.

You didn't get any phone call from him yet for today. He has been busy with his schedule of being an idol.

He always available at middle of the night.

You turned on the screen then got into your personal chatroom with him.

Babe, I have something to say. Really important.

Sent, 12:32 a.m.

You only got one tick from him. So you just decided to go to sleep even you didnt use to sleep at early bed.

[1:40 a.m.]

You can felt something was vibrating in your hand as you held your phone while you drove to sleep. That's make you woke up in the middle of the night.

Without seeing whose the caller, you answered just like that.

"Heelo sweetheart. Already asleep."

"I can't sleep unless I heard your voices, you know."

"Awwwwww~ so sweet talker."

"Shut up. How was your day during the show?"

"So tired but not full enjoyed."

The atmosphere suddenly turned into serious.

"Whyy babe, are you sick while performing?" You were afraid as he worked too hard just to present great performance to gis beloved fans.

"No. I'm not sick. I'm fine thank you."

"Then what?"

"I'm not enjoy it much as you're not here watching my performance with the members."

You dumbfounded.

"Are you serious, bang-chan?"

Bang-chan means side dishes in Korean.

"Hahahahahaha" you heard him laughed so loudly. You just brought that up again because you watched one of the vlive that Jeno called him Bang-chan when he introduced himself.

Then, you also laughed but not that as hard-core as him.

"Are you done, baby?" You asked him after you heard silent voices.

"N-no" his giggles still there.

"Hahahh, i want to see you so bad right now. But i cant As the network is not giving cooperation with me. So, yeah~ "

"So, you feel like you want to go home?" He asked.

"Yes of course. Home is everything." You looked out the glass window. Spontaneous thought came in.

"Am I your everything too?" He snapped you out by his question.

It took several seconds to reply that.

"Lee donghyuck, you are my last destiny after the world end its life."

"Wahh~" at the end of his word, his soothing voice made you melt.

"Go to sleep now , babe. You tired i know that."

"Love you 3000" you added.

"Love you for infinity numbers."

And that amde you laughed.

"Bye. Have a nice sleep, haechan."

"Okay ."

You end up the call. After that you directly close your eyes and drove to sleep.

Pt. 10 (end)

Guerin had gotten the all clear from Charlie, so she headed home with Seyoon and her newest addition, a three month old samoyed puppy that she named Eneoji. She explained to Wow that the name was inspired by HEET but it was also apparent the name was appropriate for the boundless energy contained in the body of the still growing pup.

They both played with her and Guerin gave a demonstration on the training style she would be using with her puppy by teaching her to sit. Seyoon turned out to be very lenient on his criteria for success. Within three attempts Eneoji had learned to con treats out of him for free before Guerin jokingly banned him from teaching her anything.

Eventually Eneoji went into her crate in the bedroom and fell asleep, allowing Guerin and Seyoon to rest against each other on the bed. Both of them were quiet in their own thoughts as they absently stared lovingly at the sleeping puppy.

"I'm sorry." Seyoon said finally.

Guerin looked at him, puzzled, "Why?"

"For Eunkyung. Earlier." His expression was blank with a hint of stress in the corners of his mouth.

"Oh... you don't need to be sorry for that." Guerin shrugged. He looked at her cautiously and she smiled at him reassuringly, "You didn't do anything wrong. And I can't hold you accountable for others actions."

He looked down at his hands, "I should have done more to dissuade her before it escalated."

"Did you ever give her reason to think you liked her?" Guerin asked.

He looked thoughtful, "She was one of our makeup artists. We were all friendly with her. It could have given her the wrong idea."

Guerin scoffed, "It would be unreasonable for me to expect you to not be friendly with people. If someone develops a crush on you it's on them. If they choose to act on that crush it's still on them. What can you do, go around being rude to people?"

Seyoon's expression was still blank as he looked up at her, but his lines had softened. "I expected you to be upset. I feel like I've always been told that girlfriend get upset over stuff like that."

Guerin shrugged, "I trust you. If I didn't I wouldn't date you, the doubt would be too exhausting."

He still hadn't smiled, so Guerin pulled out the big guns. "Seyoonie. Seyoonaaaah. I like you. Kim. Se. Yoon." she said in a high voice, pushing into his shoulder with balled up hands. Wow was surprised into laughter at her sudden aegyo attack and pulled her pouty face into his chest to protect himself from further attacks.

"Yaaaaa." He moaned, feigning distress, "I wasn't ready for that." He pinched her cheek.

She winked and shot finger guns at him in response, "But I like Yoonie so much."

He pushed her away, clutching at his chest and rolling to end up face down at the edge of the bed, kicking his feet and then not moving at all.

She finally broke and started laughing, climbing over to him and shaking him, "I'm sorry I'm sorry don't die please." She pulled his limp body over and he flopped along, staring vacantly at the ceiling before spazzing and feigning a seizure. She laughed and moved away from his flailing limbs until he stilled again.

"Oh noooo, I killed my boyfriend." She sighed and lay next to him, "What a shame. There was so much I still wanted to do with him."

He suddenly rolled so he was over her, grinning seductively, "What kind of things?" He asked.

She licked her lips instinctively as her chest tightened in response to his sudden proximity, betraying her attempt to seem nonchalant, "Oh... you know..." her English slipped out as her brain failed her for a moment, "Going grocery shopping. Taking a trip. Meeting each others families."

"Ah, those kinds of things." He leaned in closer, "Is that all?"

Her breath hitched and her words completely failed her. All she managed to do was shake her head.

"What else?" He asked, his tongue peeked out from the corner of his full lips as he teased her, grin still in place.

She decided words were for chumps, reaching up she pulled him down into her kissing him intensely, tangling her legs with his and pressing her body up against him as much as she could. He returned her fervor, using one of his hands to push her shirt up, exposing her bra. She took his hand and placed it on her breast encouragingly, inviting him to escalate. He broke away from her mouth kissing down from just behind her ear.

"Seyoon." She managed to gasp.

"Mm." He paused and pushed himself up to look at her.

"Do you..." she started.

"I have condoms." He stated eagerly.

She laughed as a knee jerk reaction, "Good to know, and I'm on birth control anyway. But I guess that does answer my question." She pulled her shirt off and started working on his.

"What was the question going to be?" He kept his head enough to he curious.

"I was going to ask if you wanted to have sex tonight." She smiled up at him, patting his chest, then rolling so she was straddling him.

"Yes." He went to hold her hips but she took his wrists and pinned them up by his head as she looked hungrily down at him.

"Thank god." She moved down to capture his mouth with hers.

Woojin had carted HEET to Guerin's favorite park by the Han river where they met up with Charlie. Guerin was intentionally a couple minutes late and hiding to make sure everyone was there before her, fully equipped for a playdate with Eneoji. Once she was sure everyone was there she snuck up as quickly as she could. She was about ten feet away when Charlie spotted her and gave up the ghost.

"Oh my god! Guerin what is that?" She demanded in a high pitched voice. The rest of the group turned curiously to see Guerin approaching with her new puppy. Eneoji was bounding along fluffily by Guerin with heart stopping cuteness. The reactions were varying degrees of excitement with one exception. Minhwan was surprised but looked nervous and hung back as the others surged forward.

Eneoji darted around everyone, clearly excited as they all tried to pet her. She moved so fast the ones lucky enough to touch her had brief encounters at best. Guerin hung back, watching everyone with a grin, holding the end of the long lead she had put her puppy on.

"Everyone, this Eneoji!" She said. The boys all sounded off in approval, happy to have been the inspiration behind the name.

"She must be our mascot!" Gabriel said as Eneoni had finally stopped running long enough to squirm into some enthusiastic petting from him.

Guerin laughed, "We'll see how she likes the idol life."

Everyone eventually settled to the ground, petting and playing with Eneoji. Seungbin had settled close to Guerin. He had been extra clingy with her since she had returned as their manager, she figured eventually he would feel secure enough to return to normal so she allowed it. While Eneoji flitted from person to person she did still make frequent stops to check on her new mom, often throwing herself into her lap for a few moments before getting up to play with someone else. Guerin encouraged the behavior, often cooing at her new pet, enamored with how adorable she was. What Guerin didn't notice was the increasingly sulky looks Seungbin would throw Eneoji's way each time Guerin's attention was stolen.

Guerin did notice, however, Minhwan didn't try to pet the puppy even once. One time Eneoji started to approach him and he leaned away, reaching out and grabbing Woojin's sleeve for support. Tobio managed to divert Eneoji, unintentionally saving their leader.

"Minhwanie," she got his attention, "Are you afraid of dogs?"

He looked embarrassed, "I don't... know dogs. We never had any or any friends with any."

"That's okay!" Guerin said encouragingly, "Do you want to work on it?"

He looked nervous at the thought, but Woojin then shook the arm that Minhwan was still clinging to, reminding the young man of the fearful reaction. Minhwan dropped his hand, apologizing to Woojin.

"You should try. She's very cute." Woojin suggested.

"Yeah... yeah I can. If noona is going to have her around we should at least like each other." Minhwan nodded tentatively.

Guerin began explaining as best she could in Korean about dog body language, showing how comfortable the pup was, but also showing what it looked like when someone tried to hold her paw. She then demonstrated a quick relationship building training session before asking Seungbin to try one as well so she could talk through how it went with someone Eneoji wasn't as familiar with.

Seungbin went along with it but he seemed to agree out of obligation over an actual desire to participate.

He started mimicking the training the Guerin had shown, teaching Eneoji how to respond to her name, or a sit. The puppy was so eager to work that if he took too long to ask for a behavior she would climb up onto his lap and try to give him kisses or barking and wagging her tail for attention. Seungbin's demeanor changed from annoyed to amused and finally when Eneoji ran in a circle and jumped into his lap he stopped pushing her off and instead hugged her, burying his face into her wriggling fluffy form cooing about how she was too cute.

Guerin had Minhwan try next, seated next to him. He only fed treats and offered gentle touches. He was still nervous by the end of the session but admitted he felt a little better.

"We can keep working on it. It takes time! You did really well I'm proud of you." She rubbed his head and slung an arm around his shoulder as she watched Seungbin sprinting around with Eneoji and, surprisingly, Tobio. All three seemed to have been running from Gabriel who had dramatically rolled onto the ground.

As the sun started to set the group had resettled. HEET was taking group and individual selfies with Eneoji and uploading them to SNS using Guerin's and Woojin's phones. The fandom, Joules, had a strong positive response to the puppy pictures and videos.

"Oh they're here!" Charlie perked up suddenly.

"They...?" Guerin sat up straighter and looked around.

"Yeah, I took the liberty of adding to the surprise." Charlie grinned, standing up and brushing herself off as Guerin spotted A.C.E and Minseok headed toward them in the orange light of the sunset.

"A.C.E Sunbaenim!" Byoungjin had been sitting closest to the women and overheard them. He stood up as the rest of HEET and Woojin reacted, greeting their hyungs. Tobio was holding Eneoji who had started to nap, but she woke up with the movement and recognized Wow. Scrambling out of Tobio's arms she ran over to him who automatically crouched down with arms open and a big grin, giving her energetic body scratches before squishing her face and kissing the top of her head.

Charlie had meandered over to Jun who, despite being distracted, managed to greet his girlfriend. The two groups all exchanged greetings all with a freshly revived puppy introducing herself to the newcomers.

Guerin felt her heart rate increase when she saw Seyoon, and melted at how happy he and Eneoji had been to meet again. After their night together she had to forcibly stop herself from dwelling on flashbacks. Maybe she was projecting but it seemed Jun and Charlie were having similar issues as they kept stealing glances at each other.

"Hi Noona." Seyoon had made his way to her, with his usual alluring smile in place. Chan and Byeongkwan had taken over with Eneoji for selfie time, a challenge given that she was trying very hard to kiss them both on the face any time they moved close to her.

"Hi Seyoonie." She smiled as she battled her one track mind. Guerin was offered a distraction as Minseok approached the two of them with Donghun.

"Noona, can we post our selfies with Eneoji?" Donghun asked.

"That's a question for Minseokie, isn't it?" She glanced to their manager.

"Since HEET already posted pictures with her it would make it pretty obvious that HEET and A.C.E spend unofficial time together. Kim Hyeim approved the pictures but said to ask Han Jisoo first."

"I'll text her and ask." Guerin said, pulling out her phone. She had an inkling that given Jisoo's adoration for Hyeim as well as being able to capitalize on the newly debuted group being affiliated with a successful established group like A.C.E, there wouldnt be a problem. Jisoo's response was a simple approval but Guerin knew her friend was probably secretly stoked.

Jun had the fluffy puppy up pressed against his face for a selfie with Charlie when Guerin shared the approval. The two groups got group photos and paired off for personal SNS accounts. Byoungjin and Chan, Seyoon and Seungbin, Minhwan and Jun, Gabriel and Beyongkwan and Tobio and Donghun all paired together for selfies as well.

Unfortunately as the darkness deepened Eneoji began looking more and more tired so the outing had to end.

"Oppa, do you have to go now?" Guerin overheard Charlie ask Jun. The two had separated from the group that was saying their farewells. Guerin whipped around, catching Charlie's eye. Guerin could only see a little bit of Jun's face, but his shoulders had raised slightly as he responded to the term of affection with a wide smile.

"O P P A??" Guerin mouthed at her friend, unable to resist teasing. Charlie gave a small shake to her head, which of course Jun noticed who then got to see Guerin unable to keep her chill.

"Opppaaaaaa." She wiggled her shoulders at the two of them as she cooed the nickname, "Oppayaaaa. It's dark and oppa should walk Charlie home." She pouted.

Jun looked mortified and Charlie was ready for murder, "Guerin if you don't shut your mouth right now I swear to God there won't even be a body to hide." She threatened in English.

Guerin couldnt help but laugh when she felt a familiar arm across her shoulders, looking over to see Wow as he spoke, "I think it's cute. You could call me Oppa."

Jun snorted in disbelieving laughter and Guerin scoffed, "You? Oppa? Hah. Maybe Daddy if you play your cards right." She winked as Charlie hid her face, ducking behind Jun to laugh. The commotion caused the others to look over.

"Noona? What happened?" Seungbin came over as Seyoon dropped his arm from her shoulder, ears red but grin still in place. Guerin looked into the sweet face of the fifteen year old idol.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just teasing Wowie." She lied badly but she wasn't about to explain daddy kinks to her youngest charge.

Seungbin frowned curiously but didn't press.

Time passed, HEET had made two comebacks and were planning a third soon. Eneoji had debuted as their official mascot, often part of their promotional materials and being featured in their photo books and music videos wearing the neon yellow and white fandom colors. Tobio in particular had gotten an interest in training her with Guerin and had creative ideas about how to include her, but Seungbin and her were particularly inseparable and could often be found napping or lounging together in waiting rooms or recording studios. Minhwan had gotten much more comfortable with her but still wasn't sold on dogs as a whole. Byoungjin and Tobio had written the title track for their third EP that earned them their first win, and Gabriel had come up with the design for soon to be released lightning bolt shaped lightsticks.

Charlie had accepted a full time position at the zoo and moved into her own apartment which made things go much more smoothly for her and Jun.

Sometimes gossip articles and criticisms still cropped up about A.C.E's relationships with Charlie and Guerin, but by and large Choice and Joules supported the groups, who kept working hard, not letting their relationships get in the way of their dream. It helped that the two women were also passionately invested in their careers.

Nothing could be perfect. Guerin and Seyoon were aware that hardship was ahead, they hadn't talked about it at length, but it was looming ever closer. A few days after their one year anniversary the two of them were cuddled up with Eneoji on the couch.

"Guerin." Seyoon said suddenly after a period of comfortable silence. Guerin looked up at him, it was odd that he had chosen to use her chosen name so plainly like that. His expression was difficult to read but some of his personal tics revealed that he wasn't going to be talking about something good.

"Yes Seyoon?" She asked him, sitting up a bit to look at him more clearly, unable to help being somewhat nervous.

"We should talk about my military enlistment." He looked determined and uncomfortable as dread filled her. This explained why he had been so quiet and distracted since their anniversary celebration. "I didn't really want to think about it a lot. But I will be enlisting soon."

Guerin nodded as he spoke, nervously licking her lips and blinking, eyes feeling the strain that threatened tears. She fought to keep her expression neutral but he didn't look up at her.

A million thoughts and scenarios had been plaguing him for a while now, increasing exponentially as he reached 28 and knew he'd have to act soon. On top of the stress of being in the military he had worries about A.C.E, but they had done okay without Chan so he knew they could continue on. Additionally they had increased greatly in popularity, especially internationally. But the uncertainty lay largely in what to do with his relationship with Guerin.

"I think I'm going to enlist in the Army." He added, stalling as he suddenly felt somewhat lost.

"So, that's eighteen months right?" Guerin asked unnecessarily. She had done research and even asked Byoungjin and Woojin about their expereinces.

Seyoon nodded, "It's unlikely I'll get a lot of time to see anyone. Communication is limited too..." he trailed off. Guerin clenched her fists, "It's not fair for me to expect you to wait a year and a half."

"Kim Seyoon if you're breaking up with me I'd rather you not drag it out." Her voice broke as tears started to fall.

His eyes wide he looked at her for the first time since he had started talking. "Break up? Ya, why are you crying?" He asked in shock, "Stop, stop crying." He took her face and wiped her tears away, then pulled her against him.

"Well it sounds like it. You're scaring me." Guerin's voice was muffled as she hid her face in his shirt to disguise further tears.

"I don't want to break up with you. I just... don't want to be selfish and ask you to wait." He said as he wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back soothingly.

Guerin took a minute to compose herself before pulling away from him to respond. She took his hands and kissed each of them before she spoke, "I want you to be selfish and ask me to wait for you. I want you to ask for letters constantly. I want you to miss me and long for the days you can come back to me. I want you to fight through until you're back in my arms. I want that because that's what I want too. I don't want you to leave me at all but that's not an option so instead I want you to get through it for the future when we're together again. I know I'm going to feel all those things too and it would crush me if you found it easy to be away from me. I want you to be selfish because I am being selfish and if you are too then at least we can get through the suffering together." Her tears had started up again.

Seyoon watched her in silence for her whole speech, helping her wipe her tears as she continued. He waited a beat to make sure she had finished, moving toward her he kissed her lovingly, ignoring the dampness of her face. She returned the kiss, a little desperate from the fear she had felt about possibly losing him.

He ended the kiss slowly, then hand his forehead against hers, "I love you." He confessed. It wasn't new, they had said it to each other, but he felt the moment demanded it.

Guerin smiled and gave him a peck, tears no longer falling, "I love you too."

"When I get back, let's get married." He said suddenly. Guerin sat back in shock. Her emotions were in disarray. The past few minutes had been chaotic but she had gone from believing Seyoon was breaking up with her to this sudden proposal. Was it even a proposal?

"You want to get married when you get back?" She parroted back to him.

"We could get married before I leave, but it would be rushed. If we wait until I get back we can plan a wedding with enough time for our families to both be involved." He said sensibly.

Guerin was gobsmacked.

"I love you. Noona. Go Guerin. Paisley. I love you and I want to keep loving you forever." He said with a big smile. Guerin found it positively cute, but not in an exaggerated aegyo way that the two of them indulged in. It was genuine and pure and sweet and her heart swelled as she looked at the man that she believed to be the love of her life.

She stammered then laughed in shock, "Yes, let's do it. Let's get married."

"Now?" He asked perking up.

"No. Well. Maybe. I dont know! Let's figure it out later. Kim Seyoon I love you, I love you so much." She crashed into his arms kissing him as they laughed through the embrace. Flashes of their possible future with this weird, adorable, dedicated and handsome man went through her mind. The matrimonial thoughts inspired the two of them into a mood shift, until Eneoji awoke to the mess that was her human parents and decided to interrupt the flow by trying to join the laughing couple.

I don't like her. I don't like her disposition. I don't like her calculated expressions but loud and almost obnoxious responses. I don't like her get-up when I see her outside of school, like her gray jacket and pink pajamas that she wore to the convenience store just across the street where I live in. And I most definitely do not like the fact that she can do everything with minimum effort, zero sweat. I just...don't like her. For some unknown reason. I'm very much aware that the reasons I have enlisted sound childish and a tad bit too much to pass as "reasons". They sound like excuses, even to me. But my ego won't let me admit that. So here I am, trudging on a hill just to ask her about the assignment for English classes that she collected yesterday. The professor said he didn't receive my paper. "I didn't see your assignment in my folder, Verril. Have you done it?" I gruntled a yes, trying to remember if I passed it. And I did. I tried to suppress my suspicions that she must have thrown it away, but the more I observed her earlier in the morning period, the more my suspicions only grew. First, she threw a glance at me. When she caught my eye, she smirked and started scribbling down her notebook, taking note of the discussion for Math. After the next period, she laughed a little louder than she always did with her friends when I passed by them in the corridors after buying myself a snack. And the last period, she sneered at me when we got lined up together for a project in Computer Science. Good thing she asked to be switched to another partner. I couldn't have stood her presence for even a millisecond. You might think that's just how a girl behaves when her rival is a scrawny boy with no glasses but is notorious for being a nerd (no positive nor negative connotation to it). But I know her long enough to say she's behaving weirdly. "Ah, Hamilton..." I rolled my eyes to myself. Her boredom showed in the way she drawled my last name. I turned around and faced her, meeting her cat-like eyes with my wide-eyed ones. Quite a stark comparison, if I do say so myself. I cleared my throat and spoke. "I'd like to ask you about my paper in English. Professor Gregory said he didn't have it." She blinked. Her smug face went slack for a moment before it returned. "Your paper's not with me. I passed all of it." "You do know I'm aware of our silent rivalry in class, don't you?" I sneered. "And I'm not the type of idiot to do goofy crap on my self-proclaimed rival just to get ahead of him. I don't need to anyway," she jeered. My right eye twitched. I could sense the growing tension between us, and I know she did too. She slowly backed away, tucking her hands into her jeans' pockets. "I did not throw it away, Hamilton. I don't play dirty tactics. All I do is study and study and study. If you see me as a viable threat then that's your perception of me. That doesn't define 'me'. Got that?" As annoyed as I was, I still nodded, getting her point. She heaved a sigh, tilting her head to the side. I noticed the piercing on her left ear due to that. "If you want, I can help you look for it. But I assure you, I really passed all the papers to Professor Gregory." I let my shoulders relax at that, smirking. Apparently she was irked by it, seeing how she raised an eyebrow at me. "You're just doing that for me because you have a crush on me." Her cat eyes blinked once, then twice. The next thing that happened made me lose my composure. She laughed. Or cackled. Even snorted. She threw her head back giggling and chuckling with her face bright red with amusement, while mine's because of embarrassment. "You...think I have...a-a crush on you, Cadence?" she said after a few moments of breathing in and out. She was still laughing a bit. I heaved a sigh. "Forget I said that." "Why should I? It's fucking epic." I winced when she swore. Her mouth needs to stop cursing out loud. If a teacher heard her she'll be reprimanded. Not that I care. "Are you going to help me look for my assignment or not, Vermont?" I ended up blurting just

to change the dreading topic. Her eyes only sparkled with amusement even more. I fought hard not to lose my composure again. We were playing a game. She may not be using dirty tactics on the school aspect, but she can freely do underlying ones outside of it. She smiled. "Why of course, Hamilton." Her voice dripped with sarcasm and her usual bored voice, different from the one she used when we were in the heat of discussion. We're playing a game, I reminded myself. A dangerous one at that.

Chapter 3

Returning home that day, you had a new sense of determination. You weren't sure if it was different than that of this morning, considering you really did think you could make friends, but you hoped it was. Todoroki may have been one of the least approachable people in class that day, but for some reason you knew he'd be the easiest to talk to. Well, once you got him to acknowledge your existence.

As you swung open the door to the single story home, you were greeted by the sight of your mother, shuffling through bills at the kitchen table. She didn't seem upset with it, though, rather content in her chore. You admired your mother for that, always being content no matter what. Sending her a quick wave, you march down the hall to your room. You might not have looked it, but all those tests got you tired, let alone all the people trying to speak to you. They seemed nice enough, now that you could think back on it, why did you feel so scared at the time?

Tomorrow would be different, though, because now, you had a plan. The stone faced boy, shoto todoroki, was going to be your first friend. Or at least acquaintance.

You really just needed a nap, maybe some laying down peacefully on your bed to forget the disaster you acted like earlier. However, your cat had other plans. Mochi was perched happily in the center of your bed, curled up as cats do and looking way too adorable to be mad at. YOu cooed at her being so infuriatingly cute. Why couldn't you just go to bed peacefully as she does?

"Ahh, mom come here!" you whisper-yelled marching your way back to the kitchen.

"What, darling? Is it your quirk again?" she shouted excitedly, not moving from her spot.

"NO!Better!"

Her face contorted into a grin as you re-entered the room. "Oh? What could possibly be better than the great metallic's quirk?" she teased your nickname.

Ever since you were little you had been planning to be a pro, that came with lots of different possible hero names. Two years ago, Metallic came into the mix, as your dad suggested you use a more simple name.

"Mochi can, mom."

She giggled a bit, gesturing her hands to the handles of her wheelchair. " You'll have to take me then, I'm not sure Mochi is enough to sheel all the way away from my bills.." she continued to chuckle as you grumbled, but happily went behind her to push her forward.

"Hold on tight, then!"

"Wait, Y/N."

It was too late, you went zooming through the halls, giggling joyously as your mother laughed in fear. She knew you wouldn't let her fall, but she hated the feeling of needing to be picked up by her daughter and hauled into her chair. It made her feel unbelievably helpless.

"Woohoo!"

"Y/n, you passed your room."

"Oh, right, thanks mom!"

Backtracking a couple feet, you swung your room door open, revealing your little cat all fluffed up on your bed, eyes staring at you in alarm at your volume.

"I think you scarred her, hon."

"Shh, isn't she so cute, though? When I came home she was all cuddled up in my blankets."

"Yes, that cat is my favorite child, she is always quiet..." your mom mumbled, smirking although you couldn't see from behind her.

"Hey!"

"Ah, your right, maybe your brother too.." she faux pondered.

You pouted, not knowing if she was joking or not.

"Just kidding I love you all! But seriously hon I need to do the bills."

"Okay, want me to wheel you back?"

She shook her head, "No, I'm sure you're tired after school, go move that cat over and get a nap in before your dad gets home."

You were skeptical about letting her go back on her own, it wasn't more than twenty feet away, but you were protective of your mother. Seeing her even at the chance of pain was unbearable. Maybe it was the attachment that comes with her and dad being your only friends since day one, or your heroic nature, but her suffering was almost more painful to you.

She had always relentlessly assured you that she felt no pain in her legs, but it still always felt like it would. Especially when you were younger and first noticed how she could barely stand. See, when mom and dad met, dad had been an aspiring hero, while mom wanted to be a chef. Neither of them went to U.A, but he was in a hero course, while she was in general studies. It worked out for the most part, too. Dad had gotten his hero license at 18 and mom her first job at a small restaurant.

Didn't last, though. One day while mom was out shopping in the city, a large villain attack occurred. All might have come to fight with an unknown villain who seemed to fare quite scarily against him.

During the fight, however, moms legs were crushed under a fallen building, damaging many nerves and breaking bones. All might saved her that day, kept her from bleeding out and got her to a hospital safely, but the damage was very painful.

Mom never blamed that villain for her pain, or anyone for that matter. Once she began healing and started physical therapy, she had almost completely forgotten the pain of it all. Then, when she had you, she promised her husband that she would try her best to stand and walk and move for you. So her daughter always had someone to play with. Dad didn't like that, though. He wanted her to be safe, and not in pain.

So he hung up his cape and got a job in construction, given the family quirk it suited him well. With that, he could spend more time with you and your mother, looking after both of you.

That didn't stop the pain from getting to her, though, and the nerves going numb. Leaving her completely unable to walk now, but she wouldn't trade those years when you were little for anything. She just loved you too much to mind her own pain.

Smiling at the memory of the story your parents used to tell you, you fell asleep with one arm around mochi.

-

Todoroki never minded other kids. He spent most of his life training with his father, though he couldn't say he liked his father all that much either. Kids his age had a habit of making him jealous though, even if their lives weren't perfect, they didn't have endeavour for a father.

Still, mow he stood in his home bathroom, looking at his face in the mirror, practicing how to speak to you. Wondering what might male you smile.

It was stupid, really. He had been speaking all his life, words weren't all that hard, but he guessed je might have to try a little harder on these ones.

"Hello, im shoto."

No, you already knew that, you would probably think he is dumb.

"How does your quirk work?"

Metal, obviously. How could anyone have missed that after yesterday. Maybe if he tried to relate to you? But how could someone like him relate to you? You looked so pure, maybe not the happiest, but you didn't seem like you'd been to hell and back.

He thought you were likely just the nervous type, an overthinker.

"Hi, y/n."

"I'm sure that would work.."

Shoto's head jolted to the open bathroom door and he saw fuyumi standing there. He didn't know her well, but they lived together so he should have shut the door.

"What do you mean?" he questioned, not sure that was the right one at all.

"Brother, I don't know who you want to talk to, but, it's best if you speak in the moment, all you have to say is hi."

"Maybe to normal people." he spoke, still stone faced, not believing he would work.

"So this person isn't normal?"

"No, she apologizes too much."

Fuyumi laughed a bit, "What does that mean?"

"Well, after observing her today, I think if I said hi, she would just say sorry.." he pondered, imagining your cute face flustering and stuttering and putting an apology.

"Oh my, well I guess I'll leave you t0 it then."

"Um, thanks?"

-

School the next day was exciting for both of you. You, being ready to train and learn and make friends, and he to use his well rehearsed conversational skills. Little did the two of you know the dramatic training that would take place all but the second day of school. It wasn't like anything to be expected, the day started out with a simple english class led by present mic.

Having arrived barely on time due to the crazy long bike ride, you had no time to become friends with todoroki. However, upon first entering the school, you met the smart and pretty girl from the day before. It seemed she was still curious about your quirk, but this morning she was mindful of your anxiety.

Her movements were soft and her voice was calm and quiet as she questioned you on the way to class. The way she treated you was very settling, it made the brisk walk towards class 1-A just a bit easier today. No one had ever really spoken to you like that.  Kids at your old school opted to ignore you because you were always busy anyways, or tease you for being sheltered and as they would say "innocent." You were not.

All of the things middle schoolers seemed to fancy were just irrelevant to your career as a hero, it made no sense to indulge them. So, given that history, this sweet girl, who had a habit of pulling and twisting the ends of her skirt, had made you feel ecstatic. Yaoyorozu had actually changed her demeanor to accommodate you, she really was too caring.

"Now, which of these four sentences contains a mistake?"

You weren't paying attention, to say the least. English and learning could wait for a time when the boy next to you wasn't looking so endearing. Today you learned he has different colored eyes as well, beautiful cerulean blue on one side and dark grey on the other. It was odd of you to be staring, even more odd at this boy you barely know, but something about that blue in his eye was so familiar, you just couldn't place it. Not to mention the burn scar residing around it.

It would be rude to ask, but you really were curious. Suppose that's a topic to remember when you know him better-if you know him better.

The class went by in a haze as you tried to find another pair of those blue eyes in your memory, but to no avail.

Then, you quietly shuffled down the halls to the lunch room. The line for lunch was very long, so you it was nerve racking to enter, but you wandered up and made your way there. Once you had your lunch, you took a long inhale, treasuring the steam of the rice that warmed your face.

The table's seemed mostly occupied, but you had to remind yourself there were probably no assigned groups. Everyone was new. Everyone was confused about where to sit. Or maybe they weren't? Maybe they made friends on the first day while you were busy apologizing...

"Hey, y/n, I still have some questions if you wanna sit with me?"

Startled by the voice, you jumped, the food on your tray doing a quick bounce to mimic you. The voice was recognized quickly, though, as the girl you'd spoken to earlier. It wouldn't hurt for todoroki to be your second friend, would it?

Turning over your shoulder you shot a half-assed smile at her to mask the sudden discomfort. She really was right behind you, had she been there the whole time?

You walked to a table in a corner, following her, and noticed a couple other girls there. It wasn't a new idea that in school settings, people often linked to stick with their own gender. It was just a bit of a shock that they could all bond so quickly over something so miniscule as being female.

In life your mom and dad had always equally been your best friends, it's an odd example but the dynamic is similar to if they were kids, too. That led you to believe there wasn't much difference between hanging around girls or guys. You wouldn't complain, anyone talking to you here was a blessing. Well, maybe not the yelling one.

"So, um, you had more questions?" you look up at momo warily.

Her face brightens in excitement as she pulls out a piece of paper. It seemed to be a list, had she been preparing questions? Geez, no need to make you feel special.

"So, you used your blood yesterday and somehow applied ample force to it to hurl a ball to an exact distance, care to um elaborate?"

The rice was just about to reach your mouth, but you paused, for her sake. Best to answer, then eat, although it smells delicious.

"Oh, well, you acknowledged earlier that my quirk has to do with metal, the medical term would be ferrokinesis. So, I was just manipulating small particles of iron, without unbonding them from my blood."

"Woahh, I totally didn't even know blood was like that..." Mina, the pink haired girl spoke, shaking her head and bouncing her beautiful curls as she did so.

Seeing her distraction, you shoved an ungodly amount of rice into your mouth, feeling a bit more comfortable already. Your cheeks squished out like a chipmunks and you chewed the best you could to both savor the flavor, and not choke.

"So you could do that with other people's blood?"

Mouth still full of food, you continued to answer casually.

"Well, I suppose I could.." you continued to chomp, voice slightly muffled by the rice in your cheeks,"but I'm not sure that'd be vewy hewoic of me."

E/c eyes glanced up at them casually to scope their opinions on your words, but the girls were too busy cooing at how adorable you were. Their sudden change of emotion caused an embarrassment trigger to go off in your mind. Cheeks heating up, but not showing any red. Eyes widening, you quickly swallowed the last of your rice, and sputtered out an apology for your disrespect.

"Oh gosh, it's rude to talk your mouth full, I'm sorry. My mother usually finds it funny because of the way my voice changes, but you're not my mom, haha. Wait!Um no she doest say that, um, I-"

"It's okay, you're adorable, and please don't say sorry, okay?" The girl with the sound quirk, and stylish hair spoke.

"Oh, um, yeah.."

Hero basic training. The moment of the day you'd been anticipating. Come to U.A. for the hero course, and this is the time of day you will always look forward to.

"I AM HERE!" You heard a voice boom from the doorway.

Sure enough, there he was. The number one pro hero, All Might himself. He was cool, but you preferred endeavour or best jeanist. It was just, he was so flashy, and people always depended on him for relief or safety, it didn't make sense. What happens when eventually, he is out of commission? Heroes that didn't worry about being some beacon of hope might be less comforting, but at least they'd get the job done now, and be easier to let go of later.

These thoughts, however, did not change the fact that you did still revere him. Who wouldn't? It All Might.

He went on a spiel about today's training, being ridiculously loud. Today wouldn't fight training, and it seemed the boy next to you was indifferent about that, but you, you were excited. This was what your quirk did best. Not to brag, but you'd say you have about a 7/10 chance of beating almost anyone in this class in hand to hand or quirk on quirk combat.

After all, you sacrificed your childhood to pursue it.

"But one of the most important things about being a hero is looking good-" The walls suddenly protrude outwards, causing your body to stiffen. Oh. It was the costumes. How exciting.

"Get yourselves suited up, and then meet me at training ground beta."

You happily obliged, rushing to grab your case and to change, this would most definitely be a fun training day!

can i ask for Robin!Jay meeting Dick for the first time and having an instantanous crush and maybe trying to impress him but Dick being jerk at first for being the new Robin but then later treats him better? I don't know I was imagining this taking place in Nightwing Year One? (sorry for my english, love your works! '-')

Thanks so much for the prompt *^* So this takes place duringNightwing Year One by Chuck Dixon. Ofc some of the events/things changed a bitto fit the story. And it might have turned out a bit more angsty (at least forDick) than I expected. Because I didn’t like how Bruce treated him (and yes, Iam bitter about that because Dick is such a good boy). Anyways here it is!I hope you like it.

Jason wasn’t expecting torun into the original Robin on his gauntlet run, his first test to being Robin.He actually didn’t realize it was him until a couple minutes in, just thoughthe was some wannabe superhero in blue tights. Only that it turned out that it was him, the first Robin. The one he was replacing.

Needless to say just basedon first impression, Jason was a bit smitten. The man, he was drop-dead gorgeous. Just absolutely gorgeous even in that ridiculous lookingoutfit with a blue so bright, showing every inch of his body, all the curves ofhis muscles, so taut and beautiful. Something that Jason aspired to be when hegrew up.

Just, he couldn’t exactlysee his face clearly with that mask obscuring his eyes, but it was apparentthat he was handsome.

So yeah, Jason was just a tadawed by him, not that he was going to admit it. But he figured since he was thenew Robin, maybe he could surprisehim, show-off and display to him that he’s worthy of his mantle.

Though the first wordsthat slipped from his mouth when he realized he was the first Robin probablywasn’t the most pleasant

“You're old…you're him.“ 

And the man who he knew asDick Grayson stared at him, appalled. 

“You’re what?” He questioned and Jason justsmirked at him as he shot out a line.

“The new Robin,”he said and then swung off the roof.

Apparently, Dick didn’tknow he’d been replaced, and to his surprise, he didn’t reprimand or yell athim like a petty adult to give it back or anything. Though he supposed hewasn’t exactly at fault, hence, he couldn’t be blamed. But when Jason blurtedthat he was on a gauntlet run, Dick seemed a bit freaked and followed afterhim.

“Look! I don’t needyour help,” Jason growled, annoyed. “I can handle this myself. I’mpretty capable,” he said in full confidence, squared his shoulders allproud. 

“Sure you can. I betyou’re inexperienced. Where did he find you anyways?” Dick askedskeptically and he sounded a bit condescending.

Okay, so maybe he might bea little angered that he’d been replaced. Anyone would really.

“The streets,”Jason answered and landed on his feet, folded his arms across his chest in fullconfidence, attempting to challenge Dick slightly. “So I already haveexperience,” Jason smirked and Dick just sighed heavily at him. 

“Well get overyourself, Robin is not a—” And Jason just ignored him, jumped off thebuilding to land on the other. “Hey!”Dick called and continued chasing after him. 

They ended on a high speedchase across the roofs as Jason tried to show off his skills, wanting to earnhis approval, wanting Dick to complement and praise him as he jumped and leaptfrom building across building, revealing that he had what it took to be Robin.

“Robin!” Dickcalled out. “You’re being damn reckless!” He hissed as he was comingup hot behind Jason and then reached out to grab his cape.

“Ugh!” Jasongroaned as the collar around his neck snapped back and he fell onto his butt.“Hey!” he shouted a bit angrily and stared up at the man who waslooking back down at him, lips forlorn and seemed a bit moody. “I’m on atest here! Stop interrupting!” Jason barked back.

Dick all but groaned andpinched the bridge of his nose frustratingly. “Look here—” hestarted, but Jason was suddenly interrupted by a call from Bruce and he soundedrather haggard. 

“Batman?” Jasonasked as the man mumbled into his ears, something about Alfred being caught.“What? Abort the mission?” And then his communication piece wasstolen, snatched from his ear.

Dick had taken it as helistened in and blurted, “Then what was the point? To rub my nose in itwith your new brat wonder?” Thetone in his voice was sharp, harsh even and he sounded upset, disappointmentclear in his words. 

His brows were pressedtogether into a thin line as he scowled, listening to Bruce. But then suddenly,he’d relax just a smidge as a look of horror swiftly replaced his expression.“Alf is—?” He asked and then nodded his head in agreement tosomething that probably pertained to the butler. He tossed the earphone back atJason carelessly as the teen tried to catch it. 

“What’s wrong withAlf?” Jason questioned curiously.

“We got to savehim,” Dick said and rushed off ahead of Jason as the teen squabbled to hisfeet to follow after him. 

“Hey wait forme!” Jason called out.

“Go home kid!”Dick shouted back as he unrelentingly moved forth, leaving Jason behind, and didn’teven wait a single second for him to catch up. 

That was just rude, Jasonthought and huffed loudly as he struggled to stay on par with the man. He wastoo fast, too agile, jumping across every building with ease. It was a wonderhe hadn’t been able to swiftly catch up to him earlier because right now, Dickwas moving with speed, moving a lot better than Jason and quicker too. The teenwas trailing behind and he cursed himself for doubting his predecessor. Obviouslyhe had the experience and the training while Jason barely had any, just a few months’worth. 

He knew that Dick wasangry, could just see it in him now, how he’d been back talking to him, talkinghim down as if he wasn’t worthy of Robin. Treating him like a kid who knewnothing when Jason had lived through so much.Left him behind even though it was hismission, and this was his gauntlet.

Dick probably didn’t evenknow what he was looking for since Jason knew that Alfred was currently playingas a villain. He’d need his help if he wanted to successfully save the butler.

It took him a while buthe’d finally caught up with Dick and dropped beside him onto the rooftop of thewarehouse.

“Surprised you caughtup with me, Robin.”

There was a bit ofirritation in his tone when he’d said his name but Jason brushed it off.“It was easy,” he said even though he was breathing heavily,attempting to catch his breath.

Dick just shook his head atthe teen strode forward, ignoring him as he leaned down to peer into therooftop windows. Jason watched closely, walking up to his side before the manscrunched his nose and turned away. “Not there,” he murmured and thenroughly grabbed Jason by the cape, tugging him along as he went to check outall the other windows.

“Hey thathurts!” Jason argued, attempting to fight back against him and struggledto get free of his hold when suddenly, he was released and tumbled back on hisheels, lost his footing and fell to the ground in an oomph.

Dick didn’t say a word,didn’t even look at Jason as the teen was huddled on the ground, rubbing hissore ass and pressing his palms to the cement floor to stand back up. Instead,he was just minding his own business and observing down below. “There’sour culprit,” Dick whispered into the cold air, and Jason could see awhite puff of air slipping from his lips.

Jason slowly dragged hisfeet towards the man and peered in with him as well, found a body strapped to achair. He squinted his eyes, zooming in on the culprit and found that it wasTwo-Face.

“Ah—” Jason murmured,but was cut off when Dick slapped a hand over his mouth. The man turned to lookat him and brought a finger to his lips, hushing Jason up. 

“Let’s go,” hesaid and released his hold as he moved to sneak into the building. Jasonswiftly followed after, climbing in through the window and falling onto thesupport beam. Carefully, he mimicked Dick’s movements and tried to balancehimself well, waiting for the guards to exit the room before they dropped down.

Immediately, Dick went upto the figure, probably expected it to be Alfred, but found someone else.Someone he wasn’t quite a fan of. 

“You,” Dick hissed and brought his hand up into a tight fist,ready to land a punch on the man known as Two-Face.

But Jason knew that thiswasn’t who he thought it was and jumped to curl his hands around Dick’s arm,pulling with all his strength as he held the man back, didn’t want him to makethe mistake of punching his dear ol’ butler.

Dick started questioninghim, asking for Alfred, but the villain just smirked and said, “I thoughtI raised you to display better manners, Master Richard,” in that sarcasticBritish accent of his.

“Wha—?“ 

And then Dick stopped,faltering as a look of confusion filled his face. The strength in his armslackened as he pulled back, probably realizing who this person wasexactly. 

"Hey!” Jason called,could hear footsteps in the distance. “They’re coming!”

And swiftly, they ran offto hide in the shadows of the room, waiting for the right moment to pounce asthe men arrived before Alfred. The witty butler said a few lines andimmediately, Dick took charge and jumped out from his hiding space as heattacked one of the men, landing a kick to his face. 

Jason followed suitbecause that’s all he seemed to be doing these days and helped assist him inhis fighting, beating up the culprits before Killer Croc arrived in theroom. 

“Killer Croc,” Dick snarled and readied himself to battleagainst the human-reptile. He was carrying a bazooka in hand and was beckoningat Alfred, who he thought was Harvey Dent, to come forward and give himself inbut Alf being Alf, revealed himself with his British accent and confused thenew creature.

And he took that as ataunt and fired his bazooka, which Alfred was swift to react and jumped him,caused him to falter back, losing his footing and firing at the ceiling. Crumbsof the building fell from the sky and onto the ground and from the corner ofJason’s eyes, he could see Croc retreating into the back rooms and Nightwingfollowing after him. 

Jason left Alfred behind,seeing that the butler could manage his own and was already tying up loose endsand entered the room that Nightwing and Croc had disappeared into.

“Hey,” Jasoncalled and came up right behind Dick. The man just clicked his tongue at himand gestured for him to leave, but Jason didn’t. If he was going to act thisway, hate on him just because he took his mantle, then he was going to doeverything within his power to impress Dick. To make him see that he wasworthy.

So he sucked in a largebreath and shouted loudly into the vicinity of the room. “Hey Gatorbutt!You still here?!” And Dick immediately glared at him from the side.

“You—!”

But then Croc responded,“You should have run,” he growled, voice low and deep as he picked upa stack of crates and tossed them towards the two. 

Jason jumped to dodge theattack and successfully landed on his feet without falling over. He pumped afist triumphantly but then was caught off guard as another crate was flung hisway. He quickly dodged it and another was flung at him. It was coming in toofast, too quick for him to escape, but luckily he was saved by Dick as heshoved him off to the side. 

“Damn it Robin!”He cursed. “I told you to stay out,” he grumbled and placed a hand athis chest, huddling in front of him as he shielded Jason.

For a guy who he thoughthated him, he was sure being protective. And Jason wasn’t about to allowhimself to be treated like a helpless kid when he’s supposed to be the newRobin, the partner to Batman.

“I can handlethis!” Robin argued and Dick just sighed, frustration evident on his facewith how tight his lips were and the slight wrinkles forming on his forehead.

“Fine,” hemumbled. “Follow me,” he instructed and leapt to attack Croc.

Dick moved like the wind,his body flowing fluidly as he twirled and jumped, tossing kicks and punchesthat resembled a beautiful dance. His moves were flawless and he dealt each hitwith precision, with skill and prowess. He was amazing and his movements were lightas a feather, seeming as if he barely had to put any weight. It was differentthan watching Batman fight, who fought like a brawler with strength and vigorin ever punch.

Dick was different and hewas just so damn beautiful that Jason was star struck, feet rooted to theground as he gazed ashamedly at the man. He didn’t move a single inch untilDick called his name and snapped the teen out of his daze. Jason shook his headand found Croc about to chuck a huge cabinet at them. He lifted a foot forward,ready to bolt out of the way but then suddenly, a motorbike flew into his wayand took Croc to the ground.

“Boys,” a light and feminine voice filtered into the mix andJason caught sight of Batgirl standing off to the side.

Dick just heaved a longsigh and threaded his fingers through his sweat soaked hair. “Nicesave,” he mumbled under his breath and moved to approach her, engaging herin a conversation that was held for just themselves.

As they were busy cleaningup, chaining Croc down so he’d be ready for the police to pick up, Alfredappeared.

“The Master is awakeand request your presence,” he simply spoke and eyed them allindividually. “Everyone,” he added sternly, implying that all thatwere present needed to go.

Dick said nothing, butjust tossed a glance at Alfred and pulled his lips into a small smile, a forcedone. “I’ll ride with Batgirl,” he said and Alfred just shrugged hisshoulders nonchalantly, unsurprised by his question.

“Then I will takeRobin home,” he said and Jason all but threw his hands up in the air andswiftly disappeared. He’d wanted Dick to ride with them, but didn’t see that happeningso he figured he’d steal a car for the ride home.

Jason honestly wasn’texpecting Dick to show up at the manor but he did and that was quite asurprise. Actually more surprised to see him in the flesh and unmasked.

He was as beautiful asJason had expected and he could feel his poor little heart beating rapidly,butterflies floating around in his stomach. 

When Dick had arrived, theexpression on his face was dark and Bruce didn’t look any different. He wascovered in bandages, sitting on his chair with his arms crossed, leveling thoseblue eyes of his at Dick as the man kept his distance.

“Everyone out,”Bruce said and looked at all participates, signaling for them to leave. Jasonwas reluctant but he followed Alfred out, only to renter the cave once he wasout of sight. He crawled to the shadows of the cave and hid behind one ofBatman’s souvenirs to keep himself out of sight as he listened in on theconversation.

Well, he was waiting forthem to actually start speaking. There was a heavy silence that filled the air,spreading thin across the atmosphere. It was tense and even made Jason feelnervous. The teen sighed softly, trying to be patient with his emotions. Hewanted to just jump out there and get them to talk already. As if his prayerwas answered, they started.

And the first to speak wasnot Bruce, but Dick.

“I can’t believe youreplaced me Bruce,” his voice sounded strained, almost hurt.

“You left,”Bruce simply stated and Dick all but growled loudly at that remark.

“You fired me,”he kept his tone leveled, was trying his hardest to not burst out at Bruce.

And Jason didn’t know thatDick had been fired. Just assumed he was too old and that Bruce stripped themantle from him and gave it over to Jason. But that was—that wasn’t right.That’s just—

“You were neglectingyour Robin duties.”

“I was—” hehuffed loudly. “I was not Bruce.I was there, but I can’t be there allthe time. I had other duties to uphold.” 

"That shouldn’tmatter. You are Batman’s partner and Robin should be your priority.”

“Bruce!” Heshouted, giving into his anger. “That’s not—god damn. We’re having the same conversation as last time.”And then there was a pause as both of them collected themselves. “I—I’m upset,” Dick murmured, finallyletting out his true feelings. “I thought I was your partner.”

“I thought you were mine.”

“I was. Obviously that wasn’t the case because you went and replaced me with some new kid. God damn it Bruce, if youjust wanted a new Robin then fine, you could have told me. But to have me findout this way? That after you fired me, you gave away my mantle? Mine? That I created on my own. That Iused my families colors for?”

And in that moment, Jasonrealized that this wasn’t a conversation he should be listening in on. That itwas far too private for him to hear,that his mentor and his predecessor had a long history together that resultedin a terrible falling out. That Robin wasn’t given to him just because hedeserved it or that Dick wasn’t good anymore. It was because Dick was too busyto be Robin full-time. To be Batman’s Robin full-time.

He sucked in a shakybreath and leaned out to peer at the two, could see Dick’s shoulders shakinguncontrollably, trying to hold in his emotions before he burst any further. Andthe look on Bruce’s face? That look was—wasn’t something Jason had seen before.He almost looked heartbroken, almost torn about his actions.

“Dick—” Bruce called softly and then paused, fingers curlinginto tight fists as he struggled with what he wanted to say. “I—”

And this was somethingthat Jason shouldn’t be hearing. If it was an apology, it wasn’t meant for him,wasn’t meant for his ears. So before Bruce could say anymore, Jason plugged hisears and swiftly left, disappearing from the cave and reentered the manor.

Whatever they had goingbetween them was for them and them only.

Jason was just hanging outin the living room, watching TV as he stuffed his face with popcorn, courtesyof Alfred. He’d had a huge bowl in his lap and a large cup of tea sitting offto the side on the table. He’d actually wanted soda but Alfred had rejectedthat, said it wasn’t healthy for a growing boy and he needed to maintain hisgood and bad calories. Jason frowned at that but accepted it anyways as foodwas a delicacy for him.

As he continued to passthe time, watching some cartoons, he heard soft footsteps approaching him andturned his head to see the newcomer.

It wasn’t who he expectedit to be.

“D-Dick?” He stuttered and almost dropped his popcorn to theground as the bowl slipped from his lap. But Dick was quick and snatched theside as he pushed it back in to settle securely on his thighs.

“Hey…Jasonright?” Dick asked with a soft smile and Jason could see his eyes were abit red-rimmed, slightly glistening with tears. He looked like he’d been cryingand Jason wouldn’t be surprised if he was. The two were in the cave for a long long time and hopefully, they’d had asuccessful talk and resolved their issues. From the looks of it, they mighthave.

“Right, JasonTodd,” Jason replied and nodded his head.

Dick just puffed a breathand took a seat right beside the teen, leaving just a bit of space in betweenthem. He’d settle his attention on Jason, vivid blue eyes slightly glassy andhe sniffled a bit. “Uh—” he started and licked a tongue over his chappedlips. “I wanted to say—” he was having trouble forming his thoughtsinto words, was probably delaying what he wanted to say exactly.

“What?” Jasonprompted, wanted him to just spit it out.

And Dick sucked in a longsigh and breathed out. “Sorry,” Dick said, apologizing to the teenand hung his head in shame.

“Huh?” Jasonarched a brow, confused about his sudden apology.

“I’m sorry,”Dick repeated.

“For what?”

“For…youknow,” he said and made a hand gesture at the teen, like he was supposedto know what he was referring to. He had a feeling but he wasn’t going to say.“For being mean to you. I’m sorry I treated you badly. I was disorientedat the bit of news.”

“You mean mad right?” Jason said, wasn’tgoing to sugarcoat his words since that was the honest truth.

Dick just smiled at him inamusement and moaned softly, scrubbed a hand down his face. “Yeah. I guessI was. I mean, not at you. More at Bruce.”

“I see,” Jasonreplied since he knew that to be the case. “I suppose you have a right tobe mad at him.” He wasn’t about to say why since he wasn’t supposed toknow.

Tears brimmed at thecorner of Dick’s eyes and his face scrunched in agony, almost as if he wantedto cry again. But he drew in a large breath to calm himself down and thenchuckled. “Yeah. I do. He was a jerk,” he murmured under his breathbut the way he said it sounded fond and Jason could tell that there was nolonger any ill-feelings apparent in his expression. It was as if it’d beenwashed away and Jason sure hoped it did. If Bruce hadn’t apologized to him thendamn right he’s an asshole. And Jason would consider doing something just tospite him.

But it seemed to him thatthey had a talk and things had gone well. Dick appeared a bit brighter, morelight-heartened than when he’d first gone into the cave.

“I guess he is a jerkconsidering he put me through so much training,” Jason agreed though hewas quite pumped about that. But the way he’d lecture him after, not so much.

Dick just laughed andbrought a hand to ruffle his hair, messing up the curls that he’d put so mucheffort into taming 

“Hey!” he criedand attempted to slap Dick’s hand a way, but didn’t. He actually liked the feelof his long fingers threading through his hair, it felt soft and warm, soothingto the touch. 

A rosy pink dusted hischeeks and he could feel heat filtering onto his face. 

“Ugh,” hegroaned softly.

“You’re okay Little Wing,” Dick murmured andretracted his hand back to his lap.

Jason’s eyes widened atthe man as he stared at him in confusion while Dick just smiled at him happily.Little Wing? Was that supposed to bea nickname for him? It was—it was a really stupid sounding name and sort ofinsulting to call him little but well, Jason didn’t mind it oddly enough. Hecould feel the heat on his face lighting up once more and scoffed, tried toplay off his embarrassment. Why was he even giving him nicknames in the firstplace?

Jason curled his lips intoa pout and sulked like a child, glaring dangerously at his predecessor. Dickjust laughed at him and pinched his cheek playfully. “You’re alright.Maybe I’ll take you out to train sometime.”

And suddenly, Jason’s eyeslit up like it was Christmas morning, excited about the present he was about toreceive. “Really?”

Dick arched a brow at himin amusement, surprise gracing his expression at Jason’s sudden interest and hesmirked. “Yeah,” he said lightly.

And Jason was just beyond thrilled,could feel a rush of adrenaline coursing through his body. He wanted to startnow, couldn’t believe that the former Robin was going to train him. But he hadto play it cool, didn’t want to come off as an overly enthusiastic kid so heschooled his expression. “That's—that’s cool,” he said but his facefaltered and he heard his voice crack, cringed at how he’d just embarrassedhimself.

Dick just laughed andrustled his hair once more.

Ugh, this was going to be theend of him.
