Child Asha (TKoRaT AU)
So like remember child Asha in that flashback scene from wish??
Tumblr media
Specifically this scene during...."This Wish" segment.
internal screaming
Yeahh, legit the same character but shrunk down and its so obvious...
Hell even the outfit is the same. Like???
So did she wear the same outfit for like 5 years? Did her mom just continue giving Asha the same pieces of clothing as she grew taller? Did Asha just wear the same outfit again...and again....and againn.
IDK MAN, THIS JUST HURTS MY BRAIN WTF-
ahem...anyways
SOOOOO I decided to make her a bit more different āœØ
Tumblr media
( l love how the hands came out on this one its so good happy pterodactyl noises)
She is also asking Maggy some questions, since Maggy been pushing her away after Amaya took her in and she was able to ask some questions at this point (She is really trying to form some connections with the royals, but Maggy is just pushing her away, as Amaya is starting to warm up to her, but still. It Breaks my heart)
She is still like her older-self. She is still shy, but she is more confident which makes sense since kids don't really care much about things happening around them and sort of roll with it. Idk I really tried making her very much like a kid as she is depicted here
Tumblr media
Yah, besides that, her confidence levels really dropped after she got older. (IM LOOKING AT YOU AMAYA AND MAGGY šŸ˜”)
forgot the freckles angry pterodactyl noises
Tumblr media
Also I'm thinking that it would be funny if Amaya and Maggy just gave her their old royal wear because they dont wear that color anymore (in their emo era silly lil goobers) or that it was clothes when they wore it as a kid and just gave it to her, like how parents sometimes gives their clothes to their kids if it shrinks in the washer (happened to my dad, so he gave me that shrunk shirt to me. I still have the shirt lol) Its a small detail, but yk šŸ€šŸ€
Also I only drew this because I haven't seen any art of Asha as a child and I was like...MORE ASHA AS A CHILD PLSS I NEED TO SEE MY GRILL BEING A WHOLESOME CHILD EVEN FOR A MOMENT

5, 9 and 16 for that artist ask meme!
5. favorite little detail in a drawing you did
this one was kind of hard to answer because i lean so much more to simplification over 1:1 detail... that said, i really loved these ones!
Tumblr media
the bag from the top photo is from here, minato nui on left is from some con-related draws, the ballpoint splatling on right is from a vintage draws compilation!
i just really enjoy drawing little objects and props, and as much as i'm allergic to backgrounds, i hope to overcome that next year because my friends know i love getting obsessed over random objects for a few days...
9. any new art mediums youve tried (or overall styles if you havent tried new mediums)
i haven't gotten to do much mediums outside of digital art unfortunately.... but i would say this year was the year of chibification! i turned so many characters into little guys this year (shoutout to the nui tree!). which is really ironic because i also realized this year i find full illustrations more satisfying to work on throughout the process, despite the "simplicity" of chibis.
i did some limited color styles too! (blue, purple, and red + b/w). hopefully i can do more deliberate color palette stuffs though. i think it'd be a great exercise.
stylistically wise i think i could've tried more, but. its ok! thats what 2024 is for. yipee!
16. favorite piece of art from someone else (if you have one)
it feels like a cop out answer to say this but any gift art i got of my splatoon character... LOL... i didn't expect to get so attached to him (i changed my name in game to minatoast a JOKE!!!!). um. drops this gallery link here and scuttles away. im so very grateful. you're telling me people actually took time out of their day to draw my little guy? incredible!
ocs aside, i'd like to take the time to highlight some art from people on twitter (kitaro havers rise up!), since i do consider the things i reblog to be art i'm very fond of...
this art from tin of ryomina with flowers is so. oh my god. i was SO BEWILDERED AND HAPPY!!! i was minding my own business and then saw this rt'd on one of my friend's pages... i forget who lol but i was like "WAIT TIN Kick_TheeCan DREW RYOMINA??? I LOVE THEIR ART OF THE P3 PROTAG WHAT." i feel like i got pushed down a staircase in tartarus (positive)
and this art from chris (str3wberryy), my god, the composition fucks severely. i want to eat it. he also has an alt account on twitter (@/makotoyukilover) if you want to see more of their p3 protag arts :D
i also enjoyed seeing p3 arts from yamad_125, BSZZOWL, and elulit2. im so serious if you like ryominaigis you'll probably like taking a gander at these artist's media tabs! i find my way to see the twitter arts one way or another, nothing can stop me šŸ‘šŸ‘„šŸ‘

For the artist meme -- 20 and 6! šŸŽØ if you like xx
20. how often do you get art block?
all the time šŸ„° it's like clockwork lol sometimes i get sooo frustrated and cranky bc i hate all my art and i'm like "woe is me!! i've lost all my skills!! i'll never draw again!!" and then i'm like wait . i know what's happening here. i just gotta wait it out I'll be fine lol. it's nice that i also write bc then i can switch to writing for a while until the art block clears up šŸ‘ i've found it's best for me to just take a break from drawing for a bit and not try to force it so my brain can like reset itself
6. tag your favorite artists/inspirations!
oh man there are so many!!!! i could name like 100 people lol but i'm gonna limit myself to the ones i think have had the most direct influence on my art style. hope u guys don't mind the tags<3
@ileniagennari was one of the first artists i latched onto stylewise. i used to study their work a lot because i am obsessed with the fluidity and softness of their linework and i just really like how they draw faces and bodies. their rendering is also amazing and feels sort of cinematic somehow? i've always wished my art could have a similar feel!
@anna-scribbles has also been a huge style influence for me and she's just also been a big inspiration in general as a close friend<3 i ADORE her work and have studied it specifically a ton. she draws the most blorby blorbos ever. blorbyness is her art trademark imo. and i want that for me too so i tried to steal it. i also think just sheer proximity to her and her art has made me pick up a lot of things from her automatically haha. in particular, i feel like the way she draws smiles is so perfect, and i always try to channel her when i draw smiles myself haha
@ladybeug inspires me so much and has taught me really valuable art skills! a while ago i came to a point in my art journey when i felt just really stuck and frustrated. like i could not for the life of me just DOODLE. i took everything too seriously, even if it was supposed to be simple and silly. i really needed to learn how to loosen up and enjoy drawing more. stephanie is like the most esteemed and delightful doodler i know so i came to her for advice and she DELIVERED. she gave me super helpful tips and invited me to make daily comics with her and it's been lifechanging! it's helped me focus on communication over perfection and feel more confident in my art, which i think had a visible difference in my style too. i learn SO much from just regularly enjoying stephanie's work, including her webcomic @datmcomic!!
@rileyclaw is a good buddy of mine and his work is so hugely inspiring to me! it's really educational to see his wips and learn from his process. and since he's an incredible animator as well as an illustrator, enjoying his work is part of what inspired me to finally take a leap and make my first animatic. i really love how he pushes/exaggerates body and facial expression to communicate emotion and how he makes such careful choices about comp and color and just Everything to tell a whole story with every piece of his art. i've learned a lot from riley on the storytelling aspects of art and that's something i continue to try to build on!
@knockknockknockingonhootysdoor's art is like an instant and intense shot of dopamine to my brain every time!!! i cant even tell you how HAPPY it makes me. i just stare at it and eat it all up and i'm always asking myself HOW does he do it?? how does he make me feel this way. and i think it's just like....how genuine it is?? i can just feel kryan's love for the story and characters in the way he draws and im not sure that is a stealable quality lol. but in particular something i really admire about his art is how SHAPE it is. i love how he builds each character with different shapes and how each design feels so unique and so fitting for them. i am trying to incorporate that more into my own art!
man i already have rambled so much and there are so many other artists i could go on and on about alskjdfjkla ok just real quick i have to shout out @picayunearts bc i intensely enjoy her work in both the ml and toh fandoms and her coloring and use of light and gradient always stands out to me so i kinda try to channel that sometimes! @smallpapers is another fav and i love how soft and simple her art feels! it's always inspiring to me. @raystel's work also inspires me a lot, whether it's fanwork or original stuff. she is so creative with character design and seeing the way she expresses her ideas in art is so cool!
and i would be remiss if i didn't shout out my sister @mozzys-studio who is the first person i came to when i wanted to learn how to draw and she taught me a lot! her art is beautiful<3
thanks for the questions! :D

Would you write a Kaz Brekker request where the reader is a bookworm and a crow and basically Kaz asks the reader to read to him as his way of apologizing after a argument that was his fault?
Ā it ā€‹ā€‹a/n i did something kinda similar in a 'promise of rain' blurb,, but this concept is so cute to me:)) love it sm i moved it up my request cue lol
also IM IN COLLEGE NOW!! WHAT?? AND IVE BEEN TO A PARTY! AND IM JOINING A SORORITY AND I DID DRAMA AUDITIONS AND AHH !! SO DIFFERENT! I MISS MY MOM AND SISTER AND DOG AND EVEN MY DAD BUT IM HAPPY HERE!!Ā 
also im a little worried this might not portray kaz superrrrr accurately bc it's been awhile so just let me know,, feedback leads to improvement:)) also kinda set this up for a part 2 bc...well youll seeĀ 
--
They've always said a lot of things about him, and I've always heard them. But I've never quite believed them. Sure, I get why the dark things that have flourished in the poisoned soil that is Ketterdam consider Kaz Brekker the darkest thing of all. I understand the nickname 'Dirtyhands' for the gloved criminal who has fooled each crime boss at least once. I understand each terrible thing they've said about him.
But I've never agreed with them. I've never even considered agreeing with them. Until today.
The thought that maybe everything people say about him is correct in a simple context struck me worse than the silence after our argument. It made me feel like both a fool and hypocrite. Kaz and I have had our fair share of spats over the relatively short time we've known each other, but never like this. Never so badly he stormed out of the room before I could. I squeeze the book in my lap even harder, desperate to focus on the words on the pages.
You didn't hurt him. He walked away because he decided you weren't worth the cost of his expensive time. I repeat those thoughts in my mind over and over again, letting them bitter me further. It's a lot easier to be mad than hurt. A lot easier to fuel your pain than try to understand your mistakes. Besides, tiredness is already dredging around in my chest and if I don't calm down a little I won't be able to fall asleep.
I had escalated the fight more than I should have. Knowing Kaz is like performing in a tightrope act. One must always be aware of where they're going. Watching what's in front of them without ever thinking too much about what's beneath or behind them. Today though, when I needed my balance most I chose to fall. I chose to dive, and apparently there was no net.
"Oh, you're doing that thing."
I roll my eyes at Jesper's voice as I fight down a yawn. I wipe my face with the back of my palm before turning. The burning behind my eyes never resulted in full tears, but I feel better after doing so. "What thing?"
"That terribly noble thing where you find it in yourself to take full blame for every single conflict you and boss man fall into." The slight humor in his voice is enough for me to roll my eyes again. "Between you and me, I'm sure the reason he's so angry now is because you didn't do that for once."
I press my lips together as my chin angles itself upwards slightly. "I never do that." He raises an eyebrow. The slight sympathy that colors the look is more offensive than his accusation. "If I pick and choose my battles, it's for good reason."
"Clearly."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
He shrugs once before further entering my room. I say nothing when he sits at the foot of my bed. "Oh, you know," Jesper stretches back casually, resting his back against the wall and extending his legs, "You and Kaz--Kaz and you."
Has he been drinking? Perhaps he's not here because of my unusual absence from downstairs after my fight with Kaz but because he's already too tipsy to think right. "What?"
At my confused look he grins, flashing all of his teeth with an arrogance that outshines the whiteness of them. He taps the still open book in my lap. "Let me put it in terms you'll understand." Jesper sits up a little further, amusement clear in his features. "You two make a shameful Elizabeth and Darcy--"
"Oh, shut up," I groan, glaring at him, "This isn't Pride and Prejudice. And Kaz and I," Jesper's smugness returns when I can't quite think of what I want to say, "We're barely friends--we're barely anything, let alone what you're implying."
Jesper pulls his legs up and shoves me gently. "Dearest, y/n," he ignores my glare, "You should know better than anyone that 'barely friends, barely anything' with Kaz is more than it is with anyone else?"
"That doesn't mea--"
"You two say goodnight to each other." Once. Kaz and I said good night to each other in front of Jesper once. How dare he assume it happens regularly? He's right, but that doesn't mean I'm okay with it. "You play cards with him. Not for money, not for skill--"
"It's for practice." The look Jesper gives me is enough to tell me that my defense didn't land.
Damn him for ever finding Kaz and I on one of those strange nights. One of those nights in which he lurks at the stairwell...the one that divides my room and his attic. One of those nights in which it feels like he's a phantom and I'm the only one that can really see him. A night in which we both silently find each other.
I couldn't quite believe it the first time it happened. I'm not exactly a Crow--I don't feel enough a connection to the Dregs to join them without some kind of guarantee--but I was needed for some obscure job. but I was needed for some obscure job. The Crows needed an insider who could blend into high society, and I needed a place to stay away from my father.
It worked. I worked. And with each passing day I found myself enjoying the Crows more and more. That's why I stayed. That's why I started checking the stairwell practically every night, a set of playing cards in my hand.
The first time had been awkward. I couldn't sleep and my room felt too quiet, but the rambunctious club felt too loud and a little unsafe considering the hour. So I settled for the only space in between. When Kaz found me sitting on the steps and playing a solitary card game I had been so stunned by embarrassment I just offered to deal him in. I had been more shocked when he silently accepted my offer.
"Practice?" Jesper repeats. "You were laughing, I heard you."
"That was one time--how do you know we didn't just happen to play cards together the one time you saw it?"
"Because you laughed about a play you considered 'predictable'."
Sighing, I sit up a little straighter. "I'm not having this conversation. Occasionally saying 'goodnight' to someone who lives in the same space I live in and sometimes playing cards with said person because we both happen to be up at a certain time doesn't mean anything."
"And the way he looked at the contact that was flirting with you?"
Oh...this conversation again. "For the last time, the contact wasn't flirting with me. We had to dance to blend in and when he leaned towards me to whisper in my ear...it was to tell me the intel Kaz just had to have."
"And when he tucked that strand of hair behind your ear?"
"He just wanted to sell our cove--"
"Y/n, he kissed your cheek and I'm fairly certain he would have kissed you if Kaz and I hadn't made it to the corridor at that second."
Why is everyone so obsessed with what would have never happened? The contact had been attractive, tall with fair eyes and hair. But it's not like I feel anything for him, nor would I have been so foolish during a job. A fact that Kaz refuses to believe. I'm tired of this argument...I'm just tired. This job required me to start getting ready early in the morning and lasted long into the night.
"I wouldn't have kissed him and even if I had, the fact that Kaz is so mad about feels...sexist." A stupid argument, considering that Kaz couldn't care less if the person he's working with is female, male, or anything in between because the only thing he cares about is profit. "It's a stupid thing to be mad about, but you hit on anything with a pulse at any time and--"
"I resent that--"
"For the first two weeks I was here I thought you might've been a prostitute."
I can feel him holding in a laugh. "Did you at least think I was a good prostitute?" When I glare again, he finally actually laughs. "Not the point--got it."
"Then what is the point? You're bored and obsessed with gossip so now you're shaking me for information you don't need."
"The point is you're oblivious." Rude...I move my leg in a weak attempt to push him off my bed. Jesper catches my ankle easily, ignoring my attempt at a fight. "You thought the contact was only doing his job and you don't know the real reason that Kaz blew up at you for the first time the way he blows up at everyone."
"Okay, well since you know everything, tell me why he's mad."
He lets out a sigh like he can't believe I even needed to ask that. "It's not the best look that the first time you let him pick a fight with you happens to be about some guy."
...Maybe he is drunk? "Don't be so cryptic. I don't like you enough to put up with that."
Jesper half-sighs again before pushing himself off my bed. "I'm going to pretend I think you're smart enough to piece things together from that."
"Asshole," I mumble instinctually as he walks towards my door. "Are you not telling me because I tried to push you off the bed?"
He turns when he reaches my door in order to lean against my door frame. "It's not not because of that." I should throw my book at his head. "In all seriousness, think about it. If you don't you'll either kill each other or kill me."
Ugh...he's so confusing. This time, I let him go. He leaves he door open, which is beyond annoying. I stand up to close it, promising myself I will focus on my book the second it's in my hands again. As I walk back towards my bed, my eyes land on the deck of cards on my nightstand.
Does it send a signal I don't want to send if I don't go the stairwell tonight? Do I want to send a signal? I don't know...actually, the only thing I know is that I don't want to think about this a second longer. I don't ease as I read, but my eyelids become heavier with each word they cross. I feel the weight of them as my focus slips, farther and farther away until I can no longer focus. When my eyes fall shut I can't bring myself to think or force them open.
--
I notice my surprised before I register that I've just woken up. Falling asleep feels so far and yet the crick in my neck confirms the obvious. Rubbing the eyes with the back of my hand, I push my book from my lap and sit up. The only indication of how much time has passed is how much my bedside candle has melted.
How long have I been asleep? How did I manage to fall asleep? I thought I was too mad at Kaz to manage anything but pouting in my room. I hadn't even decided if I wanted to talk to him.
I stand even though I haven't decided anything. I should at least change if I want to go to bed. But is leaving this alone for even longer a bad idea? I think Jesper thought so...though my conversation with him is far from clear. It's not the best look that the first time you let him pick a fight with you happens to be about some guy. I'm going to pretend I think you're smart enough to piece things together from that. What does he want me to do with that?
Maybe he was partially intoxicated and felt the need to play the role of a good friend. Or maybe this is his idea of a joke.
Whatever--regardless of Jesper, I have a choice to make. A tiny part of me hopes it's insignificant, but I know Kaz enough to know that nothing is insignificant to him. He holds onto things the way he holds onto his kruge. Perhaps I'll seek out Inej, she seems to be the best at rationalizing. Though she might be asleep by now, or on a job or...I don't even know.
How late is it? Is it late enough to be one of the few hours Kaz claims to reserve for sleep? Maybe my bad luck is still around and he's already in bed for once. Does that mean his anger will extend to tomorrow?
I shouldn't care. It's not like I'm in the wrong. Did I escalate things? Maybe a little...but I won't apologize for defending myself. Even though that makes everything a little easier. I feel stuck, like in some kind of place of half sleep. A single knock at my door is enough to make me want to jump. I rub my eyes a little more firmly in hopes of waking up more before someone sees me.
I approach the door without worry. Maybe it's not as late as I assumed. Or maybe it's really early? I open the door while still fighting against my slight disorientation. I'm so focused on acting normal, I almost donā€™t register the person standing at my door.Ā 
I donā€™t know who I expected, or what--maybe Jesper, much more tipsy than he was before, slumped against the doorframe, only knocking because heā€™s too tired to push the door open. Maybe even Inej, on her way here to deliver some kind of job or notice of dismissal. But itā€™s nothing I could expect. Itā€™s...Kaz.Ā 
The Dirtyhands stands at my door, expression as hard as ever yet something behind his eyes that burns the sleep away from me.Ā ā€œUh--hi.ā€ I bite my tongue to avoid cringing at that very awkward beginning.Ā ā€œAre you here to kick me out yourself?ā€ The only response I get is the slightest shift of his gaze off of my face.Ā ā€œNo? Well then I think Iā€™m going to bed. Itā€™s late.ā€Ā 
My tone and words are clear. Get out of my doorway, Iā€™m in no mood to go back to arguing.Ā  When he still doesnā€™t say anything, Iā€™m emboldened by my nerves. I push the door between us without breaking eye contact.Ā 
Before the wood can meet the doorframe, he moves his cane, wedging it between us.Ā ā€œY/n.ā€ I donā€™t understand the way he says my name, but Iā€™m certain heā€™s never said it like that.Ā ā€œI...ā€ When heā€™s not prompted by the uncomfortableness of silence, I raise an eyebrow, my grip on the door tightening.Ā ā€œWhat I said shouldnā€™t have been said.ā€ Wait--is he admitting fault? Iā€™m so thrown I almost melt entirely.Ā ā€œNot to you.ā€Ā 
The addition leaves him so lowly a part of me wonders if Iā€™ve imagined it. Iā€™m so thrown by it I donā€™t even think to reply until a long second has passed.Ā ā€œYou seemed to believe the opposite a few hours ago.ā€Ā 
His lips press together for a moment.Ā ā€œYou didnā€™t ask me to play cards tonight.ā€ He took that as intentional? At least that got me some kind of apology? I keep my mouth shut, greed making me want more information. I guess he must sense my silent tugging because he head inclines slightly.Ā ā€œDonā€™t push.ā€Ā 
I fight down a grin.Ā ā€œPush what?ā€ His only response to stiffen further.Ā ā€œIā€™m going to tell you something as a peace offering.ā€ That seems to intrigue him in some way. I canā€™t tell if itā€™s a good kind of interested, but I note the slight raise of his eyebrows and his intentional silence.Ā ā€œI didnā€™t chose not to ask you to play cards.ā€ He gives me no indication of anything, which is fair...considering my vagueness.Ā ā€œI was mad, obviously, and in the middle of deciding on a course of action...and then I fell asleep.ā€Ā 
A long pause of silence.Ā ā€œYou fell asleep?ā€Ā 
Iā€™m not sure if his incredulous tone should offend me or not. If I wanted to lie, Iā€™d like to think he knows me well enough to know that Iā€™d have thought of a better excuse than that. Or at least a less embarrassing one.Ā ā€œYes, itā€™s not that difficult to believe. Today had been long and all I wanted to do was read, but then Jesper came in to say the oddest things and then leave me to...ā€Ā 
Oh--oh. I guess thereā€™s a reason people say toĀ ā€˜sleep onā€™ something. Because now, actively remembering Jesperā€™s words for the first time since I fell asleep...I understand what Jesper was implying in the oddest way possible. He meant that Kaz and I...that perhaps there is a Kaz and I in a context thatā€™s more than just grammatical. Wow. I really had to realize this with Kaz right in front of me.Ā 
My face feels warmer than it did before, an irrational bout of anxiety forcing me to consider that me might be able to read impossible, embarrassing thoughts from my expression alone.Ā 
ā€œWhat did Jesper say?ā€ Iā€™m too lost in my own spiral of confusion and panic and some feeling I canā€™t recognize to register how Kaz asks his question. Thereā€™s an edge to it, an odd one, but that could easily just be Kaz.Ā 
This is most definitely the last conversation we need to be having. Iā€™m still mad at him for his earlier dramatics. So I just shake my head, feigning an exhaustion I could lose myself in.Ā ā€œNothing and everything all at once.ā€ I resist the urge to rub my eyes again.Ā ā€œIā€™m pretty sure he was drinking, and I wasnā€™t really listening. I was just trying to read.ā€Ā 
Kazā€™s expression hardens briefly as he takes in my words, and then he exhales, nodding once with the breath.Ā ā€œWhat were you reading?ā€Ā 
My lips part instinctually, ready to spew off details about the latest novel thatā€™s captured my attention. But before I can let myself take off, the reality of the situation strikes me directly in the chest. This is not Nina, or Inej, or even Jesper after what he considers aĀ ā€˜good nightā€™. This is Kaz Brekker, the man believed to not have a soul. Iā€™ve spoken to him before about casual things, though most of the nights in which we end up playing cards or just sitting near each other are spent in silence. But heā€™s never prompted me before. Not in the one topic he knows is guaranteed to turn me into an overenthusiastic, gushing fountain of poor summaries and character analysis.Ā 
I guess this is his peace offering. This shouldnā€™t warm the way it does. He was still unbelievably dramatic and treated me like Iā€™m some kind of unreliable fool.Ā ā€œItā€™s late, and you know how I can be. Iā€™d hate to keep you for nothing more than a poor summary and honestly, an embarrassing rant about plot or characters, because thereā€™s just nothing as frustrating as when two people so clearly care about each other and both are too stubborn and oblivious to acknowledge it.ā€Ā 
Kazā€™s eyebrows draw together just enough for me to be able to make out a shift of expression in the poor light. Perhaps his lingering irritation is preparing to rear its ugly head. The corner of his mouth seems to threaten to tilt upwards as Kaz angles his head to the side slightly.Ā ā€œI canā€™t imagine that position.ā€Ā 
No kidding. I bite my tongue to keep the sarcastic comment and awkward laugh that would sure follow it away.Ā ā€œWho can? Thatā€™s like half the point of reading.ā€Ā 
How can interaction feel so over and just at its beginning all at once? I press my lips together to avoid filling the silence with things Iā€™d no doubt instantly regret. Itā€™s easy to be mad at Kaz in the moment. Too easy. But to stay mad at him when his temper has passed and he returns with some kind of begrudging and admittedly awkward and uncertain truce is another task entirely.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ve never understood your attachment to written words.ā€Ā 
ā€œItā€™s not about understanding, itā€™s about everything else.ā€Ā 
ā€œAnd you say Iā€™m cryptic.ā€ Is he...kinda almost joking? I straighten my spine, too tired to fight and too wounded to forgive.Ā ā€œThereā€™s understanding in everything, nothing can survive on sentiment alone.ā€Ā 
ā€œIf you read the way I did, youā€™d understand.ā€Ā 
His lips press together as his expression remains unwavering in its hardness.Ā ā€œRead to me.ā€Ā 
...Interacting with Kaz in any way often leaves me feeling like Iā€™m wandering through unknown territory. But this, this is undeniably different. So different I canā€™t even think of a way to react. I watch his expression as cautiously as possible. Heā€™s purely reserved, no distinction from the look he wears during business propositions. Except thereā€™s a tightness I canā€™t quite understand.
Maybe itā€™s because I donā€™t want to fight anymore. Maybe itā€™s because exhaustion is leaving me partially delirious. Or maybe itā€™s the weird feeling in my chest that I canā€™t quite place. That I donā€™t want to place.Ā ā€œOkay.ā€ I shift carefully.Ā ā€œIf for no other reason then to prove you wrong.ā€Ā 
Never did I think Iā€™d end up in the position of sitting in my bed, book in hand, with Kaz Brekker sitting next to me. But here we are. Iā€™m so tired, I almost let out a nervous laugh when he first walked in. So brooding and tall, gripping the head of his head cane as he sits at the foot of my bed, on my pastel quilt.Ā 
Iā€™m glad for the excuse to keep my gaze away from him and on the words in front of me. I read out loud, feeling more and more comfortable with each page I finish. But as my inhibitions slip away, so dos my hold on consciousness. My eyelids seem to grow heavier with each word that I read.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re falling asleep.ā€Ā 
I straighten my spine on instinct.Ā ā€œAm not.ā€ Iā€™m not sure why I feel the need to deny something so simple.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re impossible.ā€Ā 
From him, that statement is laugh worthy.Ā ā€œIā€™m impossible? Do you not remember earlier today?ā€Ā 
From the way his jaw locks, I realize that heā€™s in no mood to be light about this topic. I donā€™t understand why. Itā€™s not like Iā€™m the one that wronged him.Ā ā€œI remember your lack of focus.ā€Ā 
Keeping my hands at my side to avoid rubbing my eyes, I frown.Ā ā€œIf you want to have this argument again, fine. Jesper is moreĀ ā€˜distractedā€™ than me half the time and youā€™re much more lenient on him. Itā€™s not like I was flirting with someone or gambling or doing anything but having a two second conversation. One that I needed to have to get information that you wanted.ā€Ā 
The last time we fought, I had more energy to restrain myself. This could be atomic. I hold my breath, waiting for Kazā€™s retaliation. He exhales, eyes not meeting mine.Ā ā€œArguing with you when youā€™re present is exhausting enough. Itā€™s not worth it when youā€™re half asleep.ā€Ā 
This angers me further. I hate that heā€™s right.Ā ā€œIā€™m not half asleep.ā€ He leaves it at that. I glare even harder at him, slumping further into my bed.Ā ā€œBut for the sake of argument, Iā€™ll drop it. Something youā€™re incapable of doing.ā€Ā 
At that, his eyes meet mine. I try to hold his gaze, but the harder I think about not seeming tired the more exhaustion slips in. A yawn escapes me before he looks away. Great.Ā ā€œI know when to lie in the grass in wait.ā€Ā 
Rolling my eyes, I shift back slightly. Heā€™s incapable of being less dramatic than this. Still, I canā€™t imagine the effort itā€™s taking on his part to not start an argument. Maybe this is why Jesper spent so long implying that there may be a Kaz and I in any capacity beyond a vague kind of friendship.Ā ā€œIā€™ll admit youā€™re tactful.ā€
ā€œResourceful people recognize that trait in other people.ā€Ā 
Blinking twice, I lower my book slightly. Am I truly exhausted, or did he just compliment me in a way?Ā ā€œCareful, I may start to think you find me tolerable.ā€Ā 
ā€œLetā€™s not exaggerate.ā€Ā Okay, now I know Iā€™m exhausted because I think he might have just attempted a joke. Rolling my eyes, I decide not to acknowledge this lightness in fear that Iā€™ll scare it away.Ā ā€œY/n?ā€Ā 
I press my lips together, worried about the destruction of our peace.Ā ā€œYes?ā€Ā 
ā€œWhat did Jesper say to you? Earlier?ā€ I pause, slightly unsure why weā€™re moving backwards.Ā 
Weā€™re in a decent place now, and Iā€™d hate to ruin it. Iā€™m too half asleep to lie eloquently. And itā€™s not like heā€™s an easily convinced man.Ā ā€œOh, he said it so cryptically it took me longer than it should have to understand. And it didnā€™t help that it was something so...well, you might find it funny. As funny as you find anything, anyways.ā€ Wow...Iā€™ve spent such a long time talking. Rubbing the back of my eyes, I avoid his gaze. Exhaustion and awkwardness mix in my stomach oddly.Ā ā€œIt seemed like he was trying to imply that you and I...me and you...ā€ Why is this a difficult thing to say? Itā€™s not like I was implying it and Jesperā€™s known for his oddness.Ā ā€œI think Jesper was implying that there was a you and I, or at least that there could be.ā€ Iā€™m too lost in a haze of almost sleep to watch his reaction. I let my head rest against my headboard even further.Ā ā€œIsnā€™t that odd?ā€Ā 
Heā€™s quiet for a long second, and then he finally speaks again.Ā ā€œOdd, even for Jesper.ā€Ā The response doesnā€™t satiate me...whatā€™s that about? I exhale, deciding that feeling is tomorrowā€™s problem. When I blink, I decide to let my eyes stay closed. Just for a moment. The sound of something shifting is what makes my eyes squint open. Kaz is standing, his expression unreadable as he straightens.Ā ā€œGoodnight, y/n.ā€Ā 
At that, I sit up slightly, ignoring the exhaustion behind my eyes.Ā ā€œI havenā€™t finished the chapter.ā€Ā 
ā€œYouā€™ve convinced me of enough.ā€ A concession? How exhausted do I seem? My lips press together as I think of my next argument. Before I can get it out, Kaz leans forward. He grabs the quilt at the end of my bed and tosses it onto my legs casually.Ā ā€œGoodnight, y/n.ā€ The meaning of his repetition is clear. His word is final.Ā 
I find enough energy to manage a glare, but I pull the quilt over my legs anyways.Ā ā€œGoodnight, Kaz.ā€

Summary: Halloween with Draco <3 Friends into BOOā€™s (teehee)
Warnings: mild drinking nothing tooo crazy but not encouraging it !
Words: 5.2K
A/N: this is my first one shot in like a month and i ofc had to do something for halloween even tho im a tad late but its still a halloweekend KIND OF !!!!!!! </3 I HOPE ITS GOOOD
Tumblr media
ā€œNo, itā€™s a stupid holiday.ā€
Draco crossed his arms in a stubborn child-like way, a scowl on his face as he stared forward towards the front of the class where Snape was giving a lecture on the small but vicious Erkling creatures.
ā€œCome on, please,ā€ you pleaded quietly. Your gaze kept flickering between your easily-irked professor and the pouting blond beside you, hoping that in a few short seconds you would get the answer you were hoping for that way you could get back into your notes instead of possibly getting a detention or losing house points.
In all the years youā€™ve been friends with the Prince of Slytherin, you learned that he loathed the holiday and any festivities that came with it. Every year, you beg him to go out to one of the many parties that are thrown ranging from small gatherings to full-on blowouts or just do something halloween related with you, but he always refuses. His reasoning, as he put it, was that he was simplyĀ ā€˜too mature to be dressing up as a foul creature.ā€™
You knew he mostly spent the holiday either asleep in his dorm or walking around aimlessly with Crabbe and Goyle to target unsuspecting first-years after the big feast but this year, you finally had enough of his anti-halloween agenda. You wanted to spend the evening and hopefully night with him laughing by your side and showing him how fun everything could be, but most of all - you wanted to see him in a costume.
ā€œPlease, if you go I will never ask you for anything ever again,ā€ you tried again once Snape had turned his back to the class.Ā 
Draco pursed his lips as though he was genuinely considering it, his eyes still locked on the back of the greasy-haired professor before he turned slightly to you with a deep sigh.Ā ā€œFine, but donā€™t expect this to be an annual thing.ā€
You gave him a bright smile, holding yourself back from jumping around in your seat and completely pushing aside the desire to throw your arms around him in excitement.
ā€œI promise youā€™ll have fun.ā€
He hid the small smile that grew on his face from seeing how happy his answer made you, turning his head down towards his parchment filled with notes that all of a sudden seemed interesting as he avoided your gaze. He wouldnā€™t admit it, but he was the smallest bit of excited at the thought of spending the holiday with you because he knew that wherever you went or whatever you did, he would be perfectly content with you by his side because for the first time in all your years as friends; he realized only a month ago that the weird fluttering feeling in the pit of his stomach when he was around you or the weird overwhelming warmth that spread throughout his entire body like an ocean of water breaking through a dam - was a crush. He hated it at first, noticing and begrudgingly acknowledging it. He thought it was cliche that he somehow fell for one of his closest friends and mostly, he thought that he was going to ruin the friendship entirely. He wanted to wreck it himself, trying to distance himself from you and being extra mean - but he couldnā€™t.
He adored your company too much and everything that came with you. He adores your laugh, your smile, your hugs when you greet him and how you somehow give him one each time he needs it the most. He adores the study-buddy system you guys have almost every other week before a quiz or an exam. He adores your bad jokes and clumsy accidents even though those qualities annoy him with anyone else. He adores the way you want him to join you in everything fun you and he especially adores the times when he overhears you talking about him as if heā€™s your favorite person in the world.
Bottom line, heā€™s all about you.
So when this season of spookiness came, he was expecting your pleading for him to spend the day with you. Only this time, it only took you a couple times before he ultimately agreed to give in to you.
You were ready to explode with thrill at the thought of what the night held in store for you and you didnā€™t hide it one bit. When the big Hogwarts Halloweā€™en feast was over and every one began spilling out from the Great Hall and into the main foyer, you were searching restlessly for a clean mop of silver hair that almost always stuck out in the mass of students. You werenā€™t sure if you were able to spot him anywhere in under a few seconds because he was unimaginably important to you, or because his hair was so uniquely bright, or maybe it was how boisterous and loud Crabbe and Goyle always were when they were by him, especially if he was with other Slytherins - but you found him, every single time with ease.
After standing on your tippy-toes several times to overlook the stampede of everyone, you finally spotted Draco leaning across a pillar with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face while he stood in a circle of his House friends that included his two goons and his quidditch teammates. You watched him thoughtfully as you approached, taking slow steps towards the group to admire him from afar and also because they were all slightly intimidating. He looked lost in the conversation, laughs escaping from his upturned lips as he listened to whatever was being said, large pale hands running through his hair every so often when the front pieces of his hair would flop down to his forehead.Ā 
He looked ridiculously good and effortlessly at that.
You werenā€™t sure if you should interrupt, hesitating a few feet away from them to where they couldnā€™t sense your presence but you were close enough to see and hear them clearly.
ā€œWeā€™ll see you later tonight then, Malfoy?ā€ One of the boys nodded towards Draco.
ā€œIā€™ll show up for a bit, I suppose,ā€ he shrugs.
You see him look around the circle of boys, eyes landing on you momentarily and then back to his friends before doing a double-take towards you again in surprise. You tried to ignore the butterflies erupting in your stomach when his smile widens slightly into a short-lived toothy grin while he said a quick goodbye to his friends causing them all to disband and him to start approaching you.
ā€œAre you ready for the halloween of a lifetime?ā€ You ask as he neared.
He rolled his eyes, laughing faintly.Ā ā€œWhere am I meeting you, darling?ā€
The nick name he used so rarely for you made your knees feel weak, a warm blush rushing up your neck and inching onto your cheeks that you knew was going to be very apparent on your face in a few seconds.
ā€œIā€™ll meet you right here in an hour,ā€ you say quickly.
You didnā€™t give him time to answer before you turned quickly in the direction of your common room and began rushing away before he could see the effect he had on you that was so clearly appearing on your face.
You didnā€™t know what the night held for you and Draco or where it would lead you. Unknowing to you, you were both hoping something more could come out of the evening between the two of you. But he wasnā€™t one to express himself in that department of feelings and you werenā€™t feeling bold enough to say anything about yours. It was a gray area of hoping that fate could somehow intervene and throw the two of you into what you both wanted without either of you really saying anything - but it was impossible. There was no outcome or situation you had in mind that could lead you into that, so you were stuck desperately hoping that one day things might end up differently.
It was beginning to feel ironic how in your world full of real tangible magic, there wasnā€™t a magical solution to your problem. You were trapped feeling like a muggle who had to figure things out by themselves, no magic included. The thought of giving him a love potion did cross your mind as a joke, but it wasnā€™t a genuine or fair option but little did you know, you donā€™t need a potion for him to feel the same way - because he already did.
Walking into your dorm felt like an exuberant disaster of everyone running around and sitting in front of mirrors with their makeup or dressing into their costumes. It was noisy and filled with chatter and you were in shock from how much clutter everyone was able to make in such a short period of time from when the feast ended to now. A simple spell would clean everything up so you and everybody else didnā€™t really pay it any mind.Ā 
You maneuvered around the mess of your housemates and towards your bed where your costume was kept in the trunk underneath it, plopping down onto the floor to pull it from the underskirt of your House colored bedding.
ā€œDid he finally say yes?ā€ Your closest roomie friend jumped onto your bed, propping herself up on her elbows and resting her chin on her hands as she watched you dig through your bottomless trunk.Ā 
ā€œSurprisingly, yes,ā€ you answered, hiding the smile on your face.Ā 
She drawled out a teasingĀ ā€˜ooh,ā€™ poking your arm lightly with her index finger as you shied away and leaned deeper into your trunk. She was the only one who you willingly admitted your crush to as she was the only person you really trusted to not blather it off to someone.
ā€œWill I be seeing you two in the Slytherin common room?ā€ She wiggled her eyebrows.Ā ā€œThe boys are throwing a party and I luckily got an invite, you know how they are. So picky with who shows up.ā€
ā€œYou mean theyā€™re pretentious?ā€ You laugh.Ā ā€œBut I donā€™t know if weā€™ll be going to it. I know Draco obviously got invited but I was thinking we could do other things.ā€
ā€œLike what?ā€ She questions as if she knew it was going to be something dirty.Ā ā€œI know a few secret spots around the castle-ā€
ā€œNo, get your mind out of the gutter,ā€ you smack her arm lightly.Ā ā€œI honestly have no clue what to do. I didnā€™t think heā€™d actually agree because he never does.ā€
She runs her hands over her face, stifling her laughs of disbelief before she sighed loudly.Ā ā€œI still suggest some broom closets, hidden out of sight.ā€
You sit up, pushing her from where she was lying while she laughed amusingly at your false horrified reaction that you put on to hide the fact from her that what she was suggestion really was what you wanted.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ll leave you alone so you can get your costume on,ā€ she smiles, jumping up from your bed and tossing one of your pillows at you as she walked away. You let out a huff, tossing it back onto your duvet before setting your costume down on the spot your friend was lying in.
You stared at it hesitantly, all of a sudden feeling nauseous at the thought of going out later with Draco as if it was some sort of date even though you knew it wasnā€™t. It was just two friends, hanging out, doing some spooky and fun Halloween activities together and nothing more; so why were you feeling so nervous? You werenā€™t sure if it was your instincts warning you of something major that was approaching or the fear that what you didnā€™t have planned was going to bite you in the arse when you continuously told Draco he was going to enjoy himself when you didnā€™t even know if that was going to be true. You didnā€™t want to disappoint him and mess it up for you in the future when the holiday came again and you didnā€™t want this to be the first and last time you experienced it with him.Ā 
The pressure was raining down on you like thick, hard pieces of hail with no end in sight.
As you were getting dressed and doing your makeup for your costume as you liked, (iā€™m trying to be vague for your own imagination teehee) all you could think about was what in the hell you were going to do once you met up with the Prince of Slytherin. Your train of thought was then derailed into wondering what he was going to be dressed up as or if he was going to be dressed up at all considering the way he is. He was the type to make fun of people who dressed up, that you knew when you ran into him last year as you were walking back to your common room with your friend, both of you in costume and victims of his gentle bullying. He obviously went easier on the two of you since you were there, telling you he was just messing around afterwards and saying he liked yours but once you were out of his sight but still in ear-shot, you heard him and his two minions berating a small group of people that unfortunately passed by them.Ā 
You gave yourself one last look in the floor mirror, letting out a long shaky exhale with your hands clasped together before you started towards the way out of your dorm, through the common room, and ultimately towards the foyer outside the Great Hall where Draco was most likely waiting for you. An hour had gone by since you last saw him, an hour of stress and panic that hadnā€™t slowed down or stopped.
Your shoes dragged against the stone floors, hugging yourself tightly as you walked nearer towards the spot where you were supposed to meet and as you lifted your gaze - you saw him there, staring right at you with a small grin and just like you expected, no costume.
ā€œNice costume,ā€ he compliments when you reach him.Ā 
ā€œWhereā€™s yours?ā€ You frown.
ā€œIā€™m not dressing up. Thatā€™s embarrassing,ā€ he shakes his head.Ā 
You scoff, crossing your arms.Ā ā€œYouā€™re the only one not dressed up, thatā€™s embarrassing.ā€
You donā€™t know why it was irritating to you that he wasnā€™t in costume, even if you knew he wasnā€™t. You figured it was because you were trying to overpower your nervousness with different more consuming feelings, and much to your and Dracoā€™s dismay, it worked.Ā 
You werenā€™t nervous anymore, just irked.
ā€œIā€™m staying like this, take it or leave it.ā€
You rolled your eyes, staring him down and hoping that he would change his mind but he wouldnā€™t. He was ridiculously stubborn.
In the heat of the moment of a fleeting thought, you decided that if he wasnā€™t going to be in costume, you would put him in one or at least a hint of one. You pulled your wand out, pointing it onto his striking white hair and with one easy spell, his hair was now a flaming vibrant red.
ā€œY/N!ā€ He growled, running towards the closest thing that would show off his reflection where he let out a string of frantic curse words.Ā ā€œI look like a bloody Weasley.ā€
Your laughter caught him off guard, the sound ringing in his ears like music that spread warmth throughout him. You were clutching at your stomach with one hand and pointing at him with the other, giggling wildly at the sight of him with hair that did not suit him at all. He smiled to himself, your glee rubbing off on him abruptly that ate away quickly at his anger.
ā€œYou shouldā€™ve given me some ratty old hand-me-down robes and Iā€™d look just like Ron,ā€ he notes.
ā€œThatā€™s rude, Draco,ā€ you say still laughing. He smirks, leaving the shiny statue of a knight in armor where he was checking his reflection and back over to you where you were still stuck in between doubling over in laughter and watching him.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m glad this is funny to you,ā€ he muses. He begins digging into the pocket of his dress pants, taking your vulnerability as a chance for him to tap his wand to the top of your head and before you could react, your whole hair had turned a deep green.
Your laughter immediately ended as you ran towards the suit of armor, your grimacing reflection staring back at you with deep Slytherin green hair and a distorted Draco behind you doubling over just like you were moments ago.
ā€œThis looks,ā€ you couldnā€™t even finish your sentence, the scowl on your face saying enough for you as you turned bitterly towards Draco.Ā 
ā€œGreat?ā€ He suggested, his guffawing subsiding into airy chuckles as you stood in front of him. Yours picked up again as you stared up at him, his striking bright red hair looking terribly unfamiliar on him. He was looking down at you, his heart jumping at the sight of you holding back your laughter.Ā ā€œYou really do look dashing by the way.ā€
You swallowed thickly, thankful for the darkness that had settled around the castle and easily hid the scarlet brush appearing on your face.Ā ā€œBut my hair is green.ā€
ā€œGreen is my favorite color.ā€
You opened your mouth to speak, your stomach and heart dropping simultaneously as your mind went completely blank. You pretended to not notice how he took a step closer to you to where he was almost fully against you and he pretended not to notice the way your lips were parted and how your chest was rising and falling a little too heavily as if you were nervous. It was game over for you when his gaze flickered down towards your lips and then back to your eyes, his head leaning down just the slightest like if he were waiting for you to meet him halfway. You were about to get closer to him, about to let your eyes close and give in to what you believed was him wanting to kiss you - but the world had other plans.
ā€œMalfoy! There you are!ā€ Someone boomed, clambering up the steps from the direction of the dungeons. You both jumped away from each other, your attention diverted to the Slytherin boy that interrupted the moment.Ā ā€œMalfoy come on, the party! And you can bring her too.ā€
You frowned when the boy came up to the two of you, clearly tipsy, dressed as a stereotypical vampire, and over-excited with the fact that Draco was out and willing to participate in Halloween festivities. It seemed like it bothered the now red-head when he looked to you and then back to the Slytherin boy with an apprehensive expression.
The boy, sensing the pause in the air, grabbed onto both you and Dracoā€™s arms and started dragging the two of you towards the Slytherin common room where although the stone walls were thick, the sound of people celebrating inside were easily slipping past the stone slabs. He spoke the password out quickly and as soon as the entrance was open, you were both shoved inside into what looked like the largest party you had ever witnessed in all your years at Hogwarts. It was packed and filled with what looked like half of the school, or at least a huge majority of fifth-years and up. It was loud with music booming from a brand new wizarding-world radio in the middle of the room currently playing a song from the Weird Sisters. It smelled like a mixture of everyoneā€™s perfumes and colognes and like firewhisky. The boy that pushed you two inside quickly passed you two cups of the very potent firewhisky before downing the third one he had in his hand and disappeared into the crowd while screaming for you to enjoy yourselves.
You both stood awkwardly away from the big and rowdy crowd, your drink clenched tightly in your hand against your chest and Draco swishing his around while it was still in the cup.
He wanted to up and run, thinking that someone was going to make a comment about his hair or about him being there, but no one seemed to pay attention to him or that he was there and in a way, he felt relieved by it and less tense by the second.Ā 
ā€œHow in the bloody hell did we end up here?ā€ You yelled over the music, putting a hand over his arm that was holding his drink up. You didnā€™t mean to, but you were glad you did because he glanced down at the contact with a small smile before looking back up to you.
ā€œWe got dragged here, remember!ā€ He yelled back.Ā 
ā€œWhat?ā€Ā 
ā€œWe got dragged here!ā€
ā€œI canā€™t hear you!ā€
He rolled his eyes, bending down towards your ear to repeat himself one last time before you finally heard him over the mayhem around you.
ā€œThis is crazy!ā€ You looked around the room, the sight of all the bodies and recklessness being too much as they were all more than likely drunk and oblivious to how stuffy and suffocating the room was becoming.
You looked down at the golden brown liquid sloshing around in your cup, wondering whether or not you should take it, but with the nervousness you felt coming back, it didnā€™t take you much longer to decide to down your cup and allow the liquid courage to seep into your veins. Draco watched you with amusement, chuckling to himself when you scrunched up your face in disgust from the burn he knew it caused as it went down your throat. He shook his head, deciding to drink his too and it was only minutes that passed before the drink was quickly becoming apparent in your systems. There was something about Firewhisky that always made its mark promptly and it really was courage in a bottle that you were glad was available to you in that moment because you were sure that in just a few minutes you were close to fainting.
You were beginning to sway faintly to the music, the rhythm sounding more loud but distant and more invigorating. You didnā€™t care anymore if anyone was watching or that Draco was observing you curiously just as he was beginning to lose all sense of holding himself back. He was inching closer to you, his head moving slightly to beat of the song and pure joy etched onto his features when your eyes met his.
ā€œI keep forgetting I turned your hair red!ā€ You yelled up to him, laughing loudly when he ran his hand through it. In your moment of confidence, you reached up and lightly ran your fingers over one of the front pieces hanging over his forehead. He didnā€™t stop you, his heart hammering against his chest from the drink and his overwhelming crush that was clouding all his senses.Ā ā€œYour hair is so soft!ā€Ā 
He wanted to pin you up against the wall right then and there. You were peering up at him, just as you were before you were dragged inside by one of his Housemates and as soon as he was about to kiss you.Ā 
ā€œDo you want to get out of here?ā€ He knew to bend down this time for you to hear him to which you responded with a fervent nod. You took his hand in yours, pulling him towards the exit of the common room and he let you lead him into the coldness of the dungeons that bit at his cheeks. It was a stark difference from the warmth inside, the crisp October air being more chilled than what either of you were expecting. It felt nice against your flushed skin and easier to breathe, especially once after the common room closed again and you could hear was muffled talking and music.
Neither of you were drunk and were still aware of pretty much everything, mostly the feelings stirring inside you both that was begging either of you to make a move towards the other. You were just a tad tipsy, and so was he, but it was enough for you to still enjoy the night without the initial awkwardness that oddly settled in between you. It was weird, considering how open and talkative you usually were with each other but there was something about the evening that made it feel like if you didnā€™t know each other.
ā€œWhat now?ā€ He asked you with a raised brow, his hand slipping into his pocket.
You smiled, an idea coming to your head that you knew he would love and you didnā€™t mind doing in the name of Halloween.Ā ā€œDo you want to go mess with people?ā€
He stared at you with widened eyes,Ā ā€œbloody hell, I love you.ā€
There was nothing that could have prepared you for his response, your own eyes widening in shock as you stared at him. He felt his face get hot in embarrassment, Merlin, he felt so stupid. He was mentally smacking himself in the head, desperately wishing he could bury himself seven feet under the Earth and staying there until the end of time.
He was about to play off what he said in a joking way, but for the second time that night he was interrupted by a couple that stumbled out of the common room drunkenly snogging each otherā€™s faces off and wholly oblivious to you and Draco standing there in lingering panic. You jumped back into his arms when the couple staggered past you, almost knocking you over in the process of their makeout session and it annoyed you beyond belief. It annoyed you that they were in your way, annoyed that they interrupted you, annoyed that it wasnā€™t you in their position with the one you wanted.Ā 
You dug your wand out of your pocket, flicking it their way as they rolled onto the wall, still in each otherā€™s hold until the hex that flew from your wand hit the boy causing him to stagger back from the girl and holding his nose in pain. You heard Draco laugh from behind you when bats began to fly out from the boyā€™s nostrils while the girl screamed and ran away from one of the bats that swept down onto her head. The bats flew out of the dungeon and up the stairs with the boy struggling loudly the whole way up until his panicked screams were no longer heard.
ā€œThat was a perfect bat-bogey,ā€ he looks at you proudly.Ā ā€œI feel bad for that poor blokeā€™s nose.ā€
ā€œThank you, thank you,ā€ you bowed jokingly.Ā 
When the sound of the door opened again, you both ran to hide behind a long drape against the wall that didnā€™t hide your shoes very well and pressed up against your bodies thatā€™s shapes were no doubt visible from the opposite side.
You heard footsteps trail haphazardly down the corridor, their back seemingly facing you and as you both peeked your heads out from behind the drape, Draco nodded towards the boy and pointed his wand towards him.Ā 
ā€œSlugulus Eructo,ā€ you heard him whisper and a stream of green light from his wand hit the back of the boyā€™s head and as he turned around in surprise while doubling over in pain, his hand clamped tightly over his mouth as slugs began to slip past the spaces between his fingers. When he stood up to run away, you noticed it was the same boy from earlier that stopped you two from the almost kiss and dragged you to the party. You let out a string of giggles as he ran away just like your last victims.
ā€œThis is so mean,ā€ you chortle, leaning into him from behind the drape in an attempt to get closer to him. You were feeling bolder when he beamed down at you, feeling happy knowing that although the night was still young, he was having fun.Ā ā€œThank you for coming with me tonight, I know you donā€™t like Halloween.ā€ You say quietly.
ā€œYou finally convinced me, itā€™s not that bad,ā€ he grins.
ā€œWhyā€™d you hate it in the first place?ā€
The question seemed to strike a nerve but the Firewhisky still flowing freely in his veins tore away easily at his defenses so instead of avoiding your question entirely like he usually would, he frowned and let his guard down.
ā€œI donā€™t hate it,ā€ he answers apprehensively.Ā ā€œMy father never let me celebrate it. He never let me dress up. He told me respectable wizards donā€™t partake in holidays like these.ā€
His pout made your gut twist in sympathy, your hand instinctively going into his as you squeezed it reassuringly.Ā ā€œItā€™s never too late to start celebrating. Besides, I donā€™t see him here stopping you.ā€
He smiled for what felt like the hundredth time that night, his stained-red hair falling over his eyes as he looked down to his shoes.
ā€œYou have a point, darling.ā€
The door of the common room opened again and what you suspected to be another snogging couple to stumble out from the sound of heavy breathing and multiple shoes scuffling about was something completely different.
ā€œGlad Malfoy stayed with someone else today.ā€ It was Crabbe.
ā€œYeah, he never lets us go to these parties,ā€ Goyle responds.Ā ā€œGo ahead and thank Y/L/N for freeing us, he fancies her like a fool.ā€
ā€œReckon we should go look for them?ā€
You figured Goyle nodded to him like the blathering idiot he was because in a few short seconds they were running away up the same steps everyone else had.Ā 
You peered up slowly at Draco who was already gaping at you like a deer in headlights. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. The gears in your brain were spinning wildly with happiness, the gossip hopefully being proven true when he didnā€™t try to deny it. You didnā€™t realize how close his face was to yours, cheeks tinged with pink from both the firewhisky and sudden shyness and his warm cinnamon breath fanning your face as he looked down at you.
ā€œI can explain,ā€ he finally said.
He didnā€™t need to; you placed your hands gently on his cheeks, pulling him impossibly closer to you and pressing your lips against his, catching him completely by surprise. His eyes were wide at first, his body rigid and his lips unmoving, but once it finally clicked that this was real and no longer a fantasy that played like a broken record in his head, his lips moved fervently against yours with the rest of his body following. His hands gripped your hips tightly, his fingers squeezing at the hem of your bottoms and his body pushing even further into yours.
Your bottom lip caught lightly in between his teeth as you reluctantly pulled away from him, the both of you breathing raggedly as you searched each otherā€™s eyes.
ā€œI feel the same,ā€ you said softly.Ā ā€œHappy Halloween.ā€
He smashes his lips hungrily against yours again, his ego growing with each gasp of a delight that escapes your mouth as your hands roamed and tangled themselves into his magically colored strands.
ā€œVery...happy...halloween,ā€ he mutters against your lips in between kisses, a dazy smile adorning your face while he tightened his arms around you.
You just couldnā€™t wait until next year.

Itā€™s Not What You Think
(Loona) Jung Jinsoul x Female!Reader
Requested: yes!
Berry: Hello may I ask for Jinsoul x fem!reader angst where reader spends time with a member a bit too much cause they're planning a surprise for Jinsoul but JInsoul ends up thinking reader is cheating and confronts them about it. Reader feels conflicted and says smth along the lines of "Im not that kind of person" but they make up after a long ass deliberation. Sorry if it's a bit much, thank you!!
A/n: donā€™t worry berry it wasnā€™t too much at all!! Sorry for writing this late </3 itā€™s a tiny bit rushed so if you donā€™t like it let me know and Iā€™ll write it again :]
Tumblr media
Jinsoul crossed her arms, slumped up against the couch. She huffed, watching you and Chaewon huddled on the couch across from her, giggling and doing things on the computer.
The Tv was just background music to her at this point, her eyes drilling a hole between you and Chaewon. You glanced at the girl, but soon looked back at the computer, her gaze was enough to tell you that she wasnā€™t having it. It sure was scary to you, not familiar with her angry side. Jinsoul was usually sweet and affectionate, but what you saw was the complete opposite, which you knew why, but you canā€™t really do anything about it at the moment.
ā€œY/n ignore her, we have to focusā€ Chaewon snapped you out of your thoughts, you nodded at her words, going back to picking out decorations online.
Jinsoulā€™s birthday was just tomorrow, so to show some appreciation you decided to throw a party for her. You picked Chaewon to help you since sheā€™d been hanging out with Jinsoul often, and because you two were the closest ones in the dorm.
At first Jinsoul didnā€™t mind, she knew how close the two of you were so she let you be. But as time passed she noticed how less you spent time with her, which made her heart ache.
ā€œShould we get those confett shooters?ā€
ā€œWhy notā€ you laughed, adding it to your chart.
After checking the items out and paying you turned to Chaewon. ā€œDo you think Jinsoulā€™s mad at me right now?ā€ You suddenly asked.
Chaewon glanced at Jinsoul, she was talking to Heejin but her expression still showed how upset she was. Chaewon turned back to you, with a slight smile, ā€œyeah probablyā€ she paused ā€œstill donā€™t let that get in the way right now, the decorations are coming tomorrow so we have to plan out how weā€™re gonna surprise Jinsoulā€
You nodded, though there was something telling you that talking to her wonā€™t hurt, itā€™s not like your avoiding her with bad intentions. ā€œIā€™ll just talk to her for a fewā€ you whispered after noticing Heejin leaving and going towards the kitchen.
ā€œJinsoul!ā€ You cheered, climbing on her to give her a tight hug. ā€œAre you okay?ā€
Jinsoul kept her mouth shut, she tried not letting the warmth of the hug get to her. As much as she was desperate to wrap her arms around you she contained it, wanting to let you know how upset she was.
You cup her face, turning it to face you. ā€œWhat happened? Why arenā€™t you talking?ā€
Jinsoul scoffed at your words, brushing your hands off. She pulled you off of her, getting up without a word and leaving.
You felt a pang in your heart, you mustā€™ve really made her upset. Tomorrow was her birthday too, and having this happen wasnā€™t apart of the plan.
Walking back to Chaewon with a frown, you hugged your best friend. She pats your head, witnessing the whole scene. ā€œItā€™s okay y/n, she wonā€™t stay mad at you for long. Your her girlfriend anyway.ā€
Chaewon put an arm around you, squeezing your cheeks. ā€œSheā€™ll probably be like, oh my baby y/n! Iā€™m so sorry for being mad, this is amazing!ā€ You laughed at Chaewonā€™s words as she continued, ā€œthank you so much! Seriously babe, I wasnā€™t expecting this!ā€ Pointing at the computer as if there was something valuable actually there.
You kept laughing with her, eyes closed shut and holding your stomach. She knew how to comfort you for sure, as she soon laughed with you.
As much as the two of you were having a good time, someone in the corner surely wasnā€™t. Jinsoul stared, stunned at what she just heard. ā€œDid she just? Call y/n, babe?ā€ She mumbled to herself, recalling Chaewonā€™s words and use of physical affection.
Now Jinsoul knew she had to do something. Her heart immediately smashed into pieces, like a hammer hitting glass. She felt like she was stepping on lava, feeling betrayed and hurt.
She walked into her room, the door slamming so loud that the two of you were awoken from your own little worlds.
You cleared the tears on your face, ā€œalright Chae, letā€™s inform the others about what their roles areā€
...
The next day rolled around and you felt excited. Removing the covers off of you and heading towards Jinsoulā€™s room to greet her a happy birthday. You knocked twice and opened the door, greeted by the coolness of the ac that was in her room. You jumped on her bed, ā€œJinsoul get up!ā€ You laughed. Ruffling her hair as she woke up.
Her face dropped when she saw you, but you didnā€™t seem to notice. ā€œHappy birthday babe!ā€ You cheered, peppering her face with kisses.
Though Jinsoul didnā€™t seem as excited as you, pulling you away from her face she got up without a word. You stared at her, ā€œthe silent treatment again?ā€ You frowned.
You couldnā€™t tell how upset she was, surely you did spend less time with her but that usually happens whenever the both of you are busy anyway, how come sheā€™s suddenly like this now?
ā€œJinsoul!ā€ You whined, grabbing her hand before she stepped out the door, ā€œwhy are you suddenly ignoring me?ā€
Jinsoul kept her anger inside, if she dared to open her mouth she knew sheā€™d explode. You pushed her around and attempted to hug her, Jinsoul just stood, letting it all happen.
Soon enough you grew tired and annoyed, ā€œcan you just tell me what happened to you?ā€ You snapped. ā€œYouā€™ve been ignoring me since yesterday giving me the silent treatment, whatā€™s up with that?ā€
Jinsoul turned to you with a scoff, ā€œare kidding me?ā€
You raised an eyebrow, ā€œwhat?ā€
ā€œYouā€™ve been the one ignoring me! Whatā€™s up with thatā€ she mimicked, ā€œsince last week youā€™ve been clinging onto Chaewon like I donā€™t existā€
ā€œGod every single day Iā€™ve seen you with her and the two of you are giggling like thereā€™s no tomorrowā€ Jinsoulā€™s voice kept getting higher and higher, with each word hitting you in the face.
ā€œI mean at first I didnā€™t mind of course since sheā€™s your best friend but yesterday was where the line was crossedā€ Jinsoul yelled, ruffling her own hair.
She paused, her vision becoming more blurry from the tears forming in her eyes. She sniffled before pointing a finger, ā€œYOU CHEATED ON MEā€
You gasped but before you could even speak Jinsoul cut you.
ā€œI saw it all L/n Y/n. Chaewon calling you babe to the two of you acting all lovey dovey. Donā€™t act like you guys didnā€™t do that yesterday because I saw it with my own two eyes!ā€
ā€œJinsoul I-ā€
ā€œDonā€™t Jinsoul me, I donā€™t care about your explanation. What I saw was as clear as day and for that weā€™re breaking up right here and nowā€ Jinsoul snapped, ā€œDonā€™t you dare try coming to me again, go hang out with your new girlfriend.ā€
Jinsoul headed towards the door, which made you panic, forgetting what things were prepared outside. ā€œWait Jinsoul!ā€ You yelled, yanking her away from the door.
It was now the other way around, you stood in front of her with tears in your eyes. ā€œSoulie please here me out, itā€™s not what you think! Pleaseā€
Jinsoul leaned against the bed, a sigh escaping her lips. She kept her tough imagine outside but inside was filled with hurt and sorrow. Not only did she caught you with Chaewon, seeing you like this also made her weak in the knees. But she kept it in, gesturing you to talk.
ā€œI swear I didnā€™t cheat on youā€ you paused to wipe the tears that spilled down your eyes like a waterfall. ā€œWhat you saw yesterday was Chaewon mimicking you I promise!ā€
ā€œBut why?ā€
ā€œBecause we were getting things for you and while doing so we started talking about youā€
Jinsoul scoffed again, ā€œyeah right like Iā€™ll believe such a thing nowā€
She walked towards the door again, leaving you crying on the floor. Jinsoul opened the door to see Chaewon and the others with party hats on. Usually on birthdays youā€™d cheer and scream, but this moment in particular wasnā€™t what they did.
It was silent, the members heard everything. They stood there with frowns or blank faces. The house was decorated with balloons and all sorts of things. A cake sat perfectly on the table, candles sitting on it with the words, ā€œHappy Birthday Jinsoul!ā€ Written in blue, the color she liked.
Jinsoulā€™s jaw dropped when she saw everything decorated. Chaewon frowned, breaking the silence. ā€œwe were together to plan out your birthdayā€
She turned to you, your cheeks puffed out and eyes bloodshot red from continuessly crying.
Jinsoul looked at her members apologetically before going towards you. Closing the door behind her, she crouched down to hug you.
ā€œWell what now?ā€ Yeojin spoke, breaking the silence. ā€œI think we should go, things will get better later so letā€™s leave them alone for nowā€ Haseul replied.
ā€œwhat about the activities we planned?ā€ Yerim added, ā€œwe didnā€™t make reservations for nothingā€
ā€œWeā€™ll do what we planned later stupid, they need each other right nowā€ Heejin said, rushing the members to sit in the living room and wait.
Meanwhile you smacked Jinsoul, ā€œI told you! I told you we werenā€™t doing anything romanticā€ you frowned, ā€œwhy would you even accuse me of cheating when I literally cling onto you 24/7?ā€
Jinsoul kissed you, ā€œIā€™m so sorry for yelling at you, I knew I shouldnā€™t have snapped at you like thatā€
You shook your head, ā€œit isnā€™t your fault, I mean, I was technically the one ignoring you but only because I didnā€™t wanna accidently spoil the surprise for youā€
Jinsoul grabbed your hand, getting you up on your two feet before smiling at you. ā€œLetā€™s pretend that never happened yea?ā€
You nodded, and Jinsoul pecked you on the lips. ā€œNext time Iā€™ll hear you out instead of yelling at you like a total idiotā€
ā€œYeah you definitely should next timeā€
Once the door of Jinsoulā€™s room opened it was like nothing never really happened. The members stood there shooting confetti and shouting happy birthday.
You laughed at their antics, turning to Jinsoul to give her a rightful kiss. ā€œHappy Birthday my love, and donā€™t you ever think Iā€™d cheat on youā€

ā€œShoto-do you really have to go?ā€
You asked, a pout on your lips as you gazed at your boyfriend.
You were still cuddled up in your shared bed, the heat from Shotoā€™s skin already dissipating out of the sheets.
You pursed your lips, sitting up crossed leg as You watched him slide each button of his shirt sleeve into their slots, his washed, bi colored hair slightly wet from his shower.
ā€œYou know itā€™s not fair to look that good and then just leave,ā€ you gave him a fake, stern look, earning a small smirk from the man.
He continued working up the shirt, looking sleek yet-well-delicious.
Shoto was just too handsomr for his own good-sharp jawline, perfect skin, piercing bi colored eyes, not to mention his amazing bodyā€¦.sometimes you had to wonder how you were able to get such a flawless man to end up with you.
He finished with his other sleeve, peeking a look at you as he slicked his hair back with his right hand, the strands mixing and framing his face perfectly,
whyā€™d he have to look that good?
ā€œItā€™s not as if I want to leave, dear-but I do have work,ā€
You cuddled deeper into the sweatshirt you were wearing, your hands dissappearing in the sleeves.
ā€œBut youā€™re always working-you cant take one day off?ā€
Shoto chuckled at your obvious neediness, making his way over to where you were sitting. He leaned across the bed to be in front of your sulking form, brushing a piece of your bed head from your face as he laid a gentle kiss on your lips.
ā€œEvil doesnā€™t take a day off love,ā€
ā€œWhy do you always have to be so-so stoic all the time,ā€ You giggled, playfully placing your hand on his chest and pushing him back.
Even though you and Shoto had been living together for over a year now, it never ceased to amaze you how much the man worked. After working at an agency after UA, Shoto had been incredibly busy-and being the #3 hero, you could see why. If it wasnā€™t a late night call, he was patrolling, interviewing sidekicks, training, teaching students on their hero studies, interviewing with magazinesā€¦.he always had something to do.
You couldnā€™t get mad at him though-he had warned you in the beginning, but you were also accustomed to the hero life as well- well, somewhat.
You had gone to UA to be part of the hero suit course, and had become suit designer for the top heroes (hence how you met Shoto). You witnessed day in and day out how difficult it truly was to be a hero, even if you werenā€™t one yourself, so you didnā€™t mind when Todoroki was gone all the time. Yes, it got lonely at times, especially during the holiday season, but you made sure to keep a smile on for him.
ā€œDonā€™t forget, I did take Christmas off,ā€ Shoto gave you a small grin, his bicolored eyed searching to please you.
You smiled back, your heart thumping out of your chest as you poked him gently in the chest.
ā€œAfter I asked you too,ā€ you corrected, a teasing tone in your voice.
-And thank god too, I would have so lonely by myself,ā€ you tried to chuckle at your remark, making the situation light.
Shoto knew you too well though-something about your voice didnt sound as happy and light as before. When you joked with him, your laughs were more cheerful and your smile was brighter-but something about you right now felt strange...as if you were holding something back from him.
Shotoā€™s grin turned into concern, his digits cupping your cheeks gently and guiding your eyes to look at his.
ā€œHave you been feeling lonely lately?ā€ He asked bluntly, your eyes growing wide.
Man-you couldn't hide anything from him.
You chuckled nervously, looking to the side, guilt beginning to fill your chest.
ā€œI-I, no, itā€™s fine, really, I was only kidding,ā€ you chuckled, your voice taking on a higher pitch.
ā€œYou donā€™t seem to be kidding,ā€ Shoto bite the side of his lip, trying his best to make eye contact with you, ā€œif you want to tell me something, you donā€™t have to be afraid.ā€
ā€œBe afraid of the number three hero-ā€œ You rolled your eyes playfully, a soft smirk on your lips, ā€œ-never.ā€
Shoto gave a small grin, worry still in his eyes. He knew something was strange about you lately, the way you seemed to be always craving for him. He hated to admit it, it boosted his ego somewhat to have you were so desperate for his touch- but he knew it wasnt healthy for you to be always missing him.
With him being a pro hero, he had quite alot more duties than most could imagine- which sadly left little for him to indulge in his own personal life. Shoto felt deeply lucky to have someone like you who understood his busy schedule, never batting an eye when he had to cancel yet another date or leave you by yourself on countless nights...but it still left a gnawing sensation of guilt sitting in his stomach.
ā€œIm fine Shoto,ā€ your voice broke into his thoughts, your tone gentle and sweet like a sun kissed cloud, ā€œreally.ā€
Shoto sighed, his thick lashes fanning his cheek. You were stubborn at times, especially when you wanted to reassure him-which only affirmed that you really werent feeling all that great as you said you were. But Shoto didnt want to push it any further- maybe you were really okay, and he was overthinking itā€¦.and he was going to be late if he didnt leave soon-
ā€œGo kick some ass for me, kay?ā€
you gave him a wide smile, placing another quick kiss on his lips.
Shoto blinked a few times, a rush of adrenaline filling his body as he felt your skin against his. His lips tingled from the agonizingly quick touch-he took it upon him to give you a deeply intense kiss, the rush making you breathless.
Shoto pulled away, his eyes having the rarest glint of mischief as he stared back into yours
ā€œOf course love,ā€
ļ½”ļ½„:*:ļ½„ļ¾Ÿā˜… ļ½”ļ½„:*:ļ½„ļ¾Ÿā˜…
ā€œYa ready Shoto?ā€ You grinned, your body snuggled into your comfiest pair of pajamas and your fingers warmed by a hot cup of cocoa.
Christmas Day has finally came, and thankfully, Shoto kept his promise-he would be staying the whole day with you with no interruptions.
You were just so excited to finally have one day to selfishly love your boyfriend, and on a holiday too!
The room almost felt surreal-it was early morning, the Christmas tree you two decorated light up like a Star, class Christmas music playing in the background, homemade cookies littering the apartment in a sweet aroma and the room in a romantic warm haze of lights.
It just felt so unbelievable perfect and comfortable, Shoto looking sheepishly excited and nervous.
ā€œI think you should go first,ā€ you smiled up at him as he sat down next to you, black coffee snuggled into his hand (in a DynaMIGHT mug, of course gifted to him by the hero himself).
Shoto bit his lip, seemingly trying to hide a smile as he set his mug down on the coffee table.
ā€œNot to be rude love,ā€ he grinned, his hands gently grabbing a large box from under the tree. The paper was a shiny golden hue, snowflakes on the paper reflecting like glitter from the lights on the tree. He slide the box against the wooden floor, being strangely gentle with the contents.
ā€œBut my gift cant wait.ā€
Your eyebrows were knitted together, a confused grin on your lips.
The box was pretty big-what did he get you now?
Shoto never seemed to give you endlessly expensive gifts, having no concept of what was considered fancy or exorbitant- trips to places you could only dream of, hefty amounts of clothes and jewelry, merchandise from your favorite shows...hell you had to talk him out of buying you a car one time-this guy would drop anything to get you whatever you wanted.
And that made you guilty as hell whenever he did-so what did he give you this time around?
Your mind was racing as you looked at the box, trying to read whatever he was thinking about on his face.
ā€œI swear to god Shoto if you bought me that expensive gaming system-ā€œ
He chuckled at your obviously guilty face, shaking his head as he smiled.
ā€œNo, no itā€™s nothing like that-ā€œ he said, giving you a mischievous grin, ā€œI think youā€™ll like it much better than that.ā€
You blinked a few times, your mind going completely blank.
What could be better than a PS5, Xbox, or Switch?
You looked down at the box, feeling strangely nervous as you obeyed Shotoā€™s wishes, slowly opening the top lidā€¦.until it rustles.
The box.
Moved on its own.
You squeaked out in surprise, your hands slamming the barely opened lid back down and looking at Shoto for help.
He had never seen you look so adorably confused in his life, a rosy hue on his cheeks as he looked at you with a loving expression.
ā€œItā€™s okay,ā€ he whispered reassuringly as he wrapped his hands nervously around yours.
You felt him guide your hands up, you both now lifting the lid off the large box.
Shoto took it and placed it gently on the ground, sitting back to watch you look into the box.
The box rustled again, your mind so utterly confusedā€¦.what could make a box do that?
ā€œShoto I-ā€œ you tried to ask, but all he did was nod to the box, signaling for you to just look.
You did as you were told, getting on your knees to peer insideā€¦
A gasp left your lips, your heart beating out of your chest as you looked inside at the sweet little baby kitten playing with their bowl of yarn in the box.
ā€œHi baby,ā€ you cooed in awe at the little baby, your hands scooping them out and snuggling them to your chest.
They were so soft and warm, their fur as white as a snowball with rosy pink paws.
ā€œOh my god-Shoto-you really didnā€™t- are they really-?ā€ You were in such a state of shock, you couldnā€™t seem to form any coherent words as you looked at your sheepish boyfriend.
ā€œI-I didnā€™t know exactly what to get you...but after seeing how much you missed me throughout the day, I thought it was fitting to get you a companion for when Iā€™m gone,ā€ he smiled, his digits nervously fidgeting in his lap as he waited for your approval.
You petted the little creature on your chest, itā€™s big doe eyes staring at you with such confusion you couldnā€™t help but giggle.
ā€œShotoā€¦itā€™s perfect,ā€ you smiled at your boyfriend, leaning in to plant him a kiss on his lips.
You giggled at his expression, clearly not expecting your show of affection as his cheeks turned a fiery red.
ā€œI-Iā€™m glad to here that,ā€

Tumblr media
F O U R M O N T H S L A T E R
"I'm running a little late today, so I won't be home in time but I asked Steve to be there to open upā€“" a heavy sigh "for the love of god, try to be nice buck, that's all I'm asking, okay? Also, can you let me know if you're staying for dinner so I can pick up something extra on my way backā€“ thank you. Okay..bye, love you."Ā 
love you. Bucky never expected to keep hearing those words falling from your lips but he doesā€“ after every call, every voicemail, every goodbye and see you soon. It makes him smile yet he doesn't deserve those two words.Ā 
you had assured him that morning after that you would always love him no matter what; that he's still the father of yet another gift in your life. The best months of your life after a shit show of years priorā€“ you'd always love Bucky even if he broke your heart in a million pieces, he seemed to be the only one to put it back together..or steve. Steve did a pretty good job of glueing shattered parts of your heart back together.
It angered bucky. Coincidentally; Steve rogers marriage came to an end not two weeks after you'd moved into your own little place with the kids and for a split second Bucky had wondered if nothing ever happened between you and Steve during the time he suspected something. But he believed you. Nothing had happened, never and though Bucky still had to get used to Steve being around more and more each day, he knew he could trust the blonde.Ā 
You seem happy with Steve and unlike you and him, things between Steve went slow, taking time. No moving in three weeks after or by each other's side everyday and you certainly didn't let the man straight into Rosie and JJ's life.
A break..of sorts and maybe he'd gotten his hopes up and believed it actually could get better with time; get back together and be that little family again but as time passed by, it became all too clearā€“ you really didn't plan on getting with him again and Bucky couldn't even blame you.
But you still let him into your life, let him be a part of your life. A part of Rosie's life..of JJ. You let Rosie stay with him whenever she wanted to, let her stay the night or a couple of days until the girl wanted to get back home again. Got to see his son nearly everyday and have him all weekends. 'I'd never take away your kids, buck'
Invitations to stay for dinner or spend the evening or to tag along with one of your day outsā€“ all too eager to spend all the time he could with what once was his family,Ā  even if it meant spending time with Steve.
You still took care of bucky, you still loved bucky because the man who broke your heart made you believe in love again, pulled you out of your shell after years of wanting to be alone. Took care of you during your darkest days, stayed by your side when you needed him the most. Gave Rosie a father figure she never had the opportunity to get, gave you another little soul to take care of. Bucky Barnes stole, bruised and broke your heart and till this day manages to glue it back together.Ā 
It took you a while to forgive him, you're still not sure if you actually have. With the loan you got from your new part time job at the store around the corner, you managed to get yourself a small two bedroom apartment not too far away from buckyā€“ following most classes from your new study online and still being able to be there for your babies; if you were being honest, life was good.Ā 
The family wilson being back in your life being the icing on the cake. Sam being to eager to apologise for everything he'd said and done although 'I told you so'ā€“ first flight to Brooklyn and before you knew it the family stood in your apartment, unpacked boxes and painted rooms as if their lives depended on it; be there for you like they were after rileyā€“ family. Hailey even spent the better part of her summer in Brooklyn by your side to catch up while in all honesty, she got tired of her dad and needed some time alone.
Life was surprisingly good after everything.
"Dad?"Ā 
Snapping out of his daydream, Bucky looks up and meets the eyes of the little girl in the rear view mirror. The braid bucky had managed to braid that morning an untangled mess, hanging from her shoulder. Left overs of a chocolate cookie still visible on the corner of her mouth. Yellow shirt covered in dirt, paint and what else she'd been playing in and with at school.
Bucky hums and types a quick text to you, telling you he'd stay over for dinner "What's up?"Ā 
"Can alpine come with me sometime?" Rosie asks seriously, a hint of hope in her voice.Ā 
"I wish he could sweetheart but mom's not allowed to have any pets," Bucky chuckles "He misses mommy, right?"Ā 
"I don't know, he can't talk silly."Ā 
"Really then why does alpine talk to me every night?" Bucky quips back "he tells me how you steal the last cookies from the cookie jar."Ā 
"That was JJā€“ when are mommy, me and JJ coming back home, I want my own bedroom again."Ā 
Bucky clears his throat and quickly gazes to the little boy fast asleep in his carpet on the backseat and back to Rosie, Bucky swallows the lump in his throat.Ā 
You tried to explain it all but the 4 year old never seemed to be able to understand any of it; the two times Christmas, two birthdays not working.
"I don't know princess," Bucky admits "whenever mommy is ready."Ā 
which is never
Tumblr media
Heavy footsteps echo against the grey stone walls of the short hallway,Ā  doors with small white numbers glued onto the woodā€“ Steve isn't much taller or shorter, maybe a bit broader but nothing to be afraid of and yet bucky finds himself tiny next to the man, intimidated to say the least- black leather jacket over a simple grey shirt clung around his biceps, long legs...intimidating but with the softest facial features, christ bucky didn't have any reason to feel this way around someone You deemed important.Ā 
If anything, Steve was as awkward as him.
Twirling around the hallway, her pink and purple colored bag bouncing up and down her back and her messy braid flying through the air, Rosie stills at the sight of the men walking their wayĀ 
"You're late."Ā 
"I know, kid," Steve chuckles lowly "tried to be faster."Ā 
"Well, you should be faster next time." Rosie simply states.Ā 
Steve nods his head towards bucky with a slight smile which bucky returns and without another word, Steve twirls the keys out of his pocket and unlocks the door with the faint 9 on it.Ā 
Rosie storms in, nearly tripping over her own feet as she pulls her backpack off and throws it in the corner with all other shoes, bags and umbrellas.Ā 
The man nods again as Bucky pushes the stroller with JJ through the door. The familiar smell of you lingering in the air and fills his nostrils. He ignores the footsteps behind him. Bucky pushes his son further into the kitchen where he picks JJ out and sets the little man on the floor. Bucky's not even able to say another word, his son zooming off on all fours, going straight to the box filled with toys near the couch in the living room.Ā 
"I was told to hand you the keys." Bucky's eyes shoot up to Steve, your keys dangling between his thumb and index fingerā€“ Steve clears his throat.Ā 
Casually folding the stroller back before standing up straight, bucky nods and holds his hand out.Ā 
Your keys, not Steve's. Great, he's not at that base yet.
"y/n asked if you wanted to bathe the kids," Steve clears his throat once again and shifts his weight from one foot to the other "so she can start with dinner when she's back."Ā 
"Yeah, sure." Bucky mumbles almost inaudibly, calm and collected, through his stomach drops as Steve nods and strides his way to your bedroom and comes back out with a black overnight bag hanging from his shoulder; rogers printed on the fabric.Ā 
so, he's at that base already
"So, yeahā€“ I should head back out. Work and all." Steve breathes out a laugh.Ā 
Placing both hands on his sides, Steve looks back to the living room where Rosie and JJ crawled and played around the coffee table.Ā 
"Bye rosie," Steve waves awkwardly and with no answer back, he looks back at bucky with a slight smile and nervous chuckle "kids, right."Ā 
"Yeah," Bucky deadpans, not batting an eye at the men in front of him "kids."Ā 
Bucky doesn't have the right to feel jealous, he screwed things up and not you but he still loves you with all his heart and he'll be damned if he didn't at least try to gain back your trust and maybe even woo you back in his lifeā€“ Steve stands in the way of just that.

katsuki bakugou
Tumblr media
Ā»Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā˜…怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«Ā«
Youā€™ve seen the trend a few times before you finally get the guts to do it for Bakugou.Ā 
Youā€™re super excited when the time comes. Youā€™ve never done something like this. All the gifts youā€™ve given Bakugou before were usually store-bought, either a small piece of jewelry or a new sweater or shirt.
Never a painting that you made.
After getting all the craft supplies to make it, you turn on some music and get to work.
Painting the canvas a solid black color, you wait for it to dry as you look at the color of paint youā€™ve chosen to use on your body. A bright orange that matches the highlights of Bakugouā€™s hero costume.
You roll your shorts up and begin to apply the paint after feeling that the black has dried on your canvas.
Applying the paint is tricky, but with the help of a mirror, youā€™re able to apply it evenly.Ā 
Pressing your bottom down on the canvas, you canā€™t help but laugh at the situation. Youā€™d just printed your ass in bright orange onto a canvas.
You let your butt rest against the canvas as you lifted the leg you were going to paint and stamp next, applying paint to it carefully as to not let it drip onto the canvas.
You pressed your leg down and used your hands to push it against the canvas.
Sitting for a minute or so, you soon got up and did your hand last. Looking at it from afar, it looked great.
You touched it up some, made the color opaque and then cleaned up. You made sure to sign your name on the bottom in the matching orange paint carefully.
You got most of the paint off, but the rest youā€™d have to scrub off in the shower. You threw on some loose pants and waited for your canvas to dry completely before taking it to Bakugouā€™s room.
Ā Bakugou was finishing up some homework when you knocked on his door.
ā€œCome in.ā€ He groaned, not expecting to see you hiding behind a canvas in his doorway.
ā€œHappy anniversary.ā€ You smiled and handed him the canvas. When he turned it over his cheeks flushed red.
ā€œHoly shit.ā€Ā 
ā€œI know itā€™s not much-ā€
ā€œYouā€™re a fucking piece of art.ā€ Bakugou set the canvas down and pulled you into him, his lips landing firmly against your own.
The kiss was rough, but sensual.
ā€œDoes this mean you like it?ā€ You pull away and giggle.
ā€œI love it.ā€

denki kaminari
Tumblr media
Ā»Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā˜…怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«Ā«
Youā€™ve got the supplies and youā€™re ready to get to work. Youā€™ve painted your canvas black and youā€™ve selected a nice electric yellow.
Itā€™s an easy process of applying the paint.
But as youā€™re sitting on the canvas, stamping your ass on it, you begin to wonder if Kaminari would like it.
Heā€™s can be a bit perverted, but heā€™s still super sweet. Is this going to make him short circuit?
Youā€™ve been together for a few months now, and for just a random reason, you wanted to do this for him.
Youā€™ve seen the trend and you want to surprise him.
After successfully stamping your body to the canvas, you sign it and let it dry before delivering it to him.
You dress in one of his electric pun related shirts and some sweatpants and make your trip to go give it to him.
When you arrive, heā€™s playing Mario Kart with Sero and somehow beating him.
You wait for him to be finished before you give him the gift, not wanting to interrupt his game.
ā€œAlright baby! Whatā€™s an angel like you need?ā€ He sets his controller down and walks over to you, giving you a kiss, totally ignoring the canvas your holding.
ā€œI made you something.ā€ You smile, turning the canvas over.Ā 
And just like youā€™d feared, sparks of electricity begin to shoot off of him, his cheeks burning a bright pink shade.
ā€œItā€™s-youā€™re...beautiful.ā€ Kaminari mumbles, looking at it and then back up to you.
Sero looks at the canvas and his cheeks brighten up a bit too, but he looks away respectfully.
ā€œThis is amazing, can I hang it up?ā€ Kaminari asks, his eyes wide and full of love as he looks at you.
ā€œItā€™s yours, do whatever youā€™d like with it, silly.ā€ You kiss his cheek as you watch him jolt over to his bed and quickly move a poster so he can hang it up.

eijiro kirishima
Tumblr media
Ā»Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā˜…怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«Ā«
After seeing the trend, youā€™re set on making one for Kirishima. Youā€™ve been together for a few months, and feeling a little confident, you decide to surprise him for training so hard these past few weeks.
You paint your canvas the day before you plan on doing the project so itā€™s already dry and ready for you to plaster yourself on it.
Youā€™ve chosen a crimson color, similar to the shades of red in both his hero costume and his dyed hair.
Kirishima always tries really hard, and his determination inspires you. He has his moments of self-doubt, but it just goes to show that heā€™s human, like you.
This is something you wanted to do because of him. Kirishima is always telling you how beautiful you are, and itā€™s hard to feel beautiful sometimes. So, feeling confident, you decide to make yourself, and him a little gift.
The process of stamping your butt, leg, and hand to the canvas is fun, and something youā€™ll remember forever.
You love the way it looks when itā€™s finished, and youā€™re proud of yourself.
Kirishima is lifting weights as he studies when you knock on his door. He shouts for you to come in.
ā€œHey babe!ā€ He smiles when he sees you. You walk through the door, shimmying the canvas along with you.
ā€œHey Kiri.ā€ You give him a quick kiss on the cheek and smile as you hold the canvas behind your back.
ā€œWhatā€™s that?ā€ He questions, eyeing the canvas.
ā€œYouā€™ve been working hard, and you also reminded me that weā€™re beautiful. So I made you something to say thank you.ā€
You hand him the canvas and heā€™s speechless.
Kiriā€™s heart was racing as he stared at the perfection before him. He wouldā€™ve packed it up and sent it to the nearest art museum to hang it there.
ā€œYouā€™re so gorgeous.ā€ He whispers as he sets the canvas down and walks toward you, pulling you into a hug.
ā€œThank you, youā€™re gorgeous too.ā€ You smile, kissing him softly.
ā€œYou are truly a work of art.ā€ Kirishima pulls away and nuzzles you closer.
ā€œCan I make one of these for you?ā€ He asks innocently.
ā€œKiri!ā€ Your face begins to heat up.
ā€œWhat?!ā€ It hits him. He face palms and waves his hand at you.
ā€œShut up!ā€ You two begin to laugh.

shoto todoroki
Tumblr media
Ā»Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā˜…怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«Ā«
After taking a few dates to art museums, and the trend youā€™ve seen all over social media, youā€™re inspired to give Todoroki an art piece.
Itā€™s more of a gift for him being himself since your anniversary isnā€™t for another week or so.
But thereā€™s nothing wrong with giving gifts to each other.
You paint your canvas black and let it dry. Youā€™ve chosen a bright navy color, one similar to the color of his hero costume.
At first, you were going to do a classic red and white combo, but you figured he was probably tired of seeing the same color combo in everything.
So you rolled up your shorts and got to work applying the paint on your butt. When you sat down on the canvas, it was an odd feeling. The cold paint had gave you chills when you first applied it, but you soon got used to the feeling.
It was like cuddling up to Shotoā€™s right side on trips or whenever you two got time alone.
Applying the paint to your leg and pressing it against the canvas, you sat and waited for the paint to stick to the canvas. Standing, you did your hand print and did some final touches.
Letting it dry was surprisingly more agonizing than you thought. You were brimming with excitement, ready to go give it to him already.
when it was finally dry, you put on one of his sweaters, one youā€™dĀ ā€˜borrowedā€™ from him, and some cozy pants.
Todoroki was reading in his room, skimming over a few chapters in one of the classes reading assignments.
when you knocked, he spoke up for you to come in. His eyes immediately noticed the canvas you were holding.
ā€œHey baby.ā€ He says softly, a gentle smile on his lips. You could always lift whatever mood he was in.
ā€œHey Sho.ā€ You respond as you tiptoe into his room. You bite your lip as you begin to speak.
ā€œI made you something, and I hope you like it.ā€ You turn over the canvas and hand it to him.
His eyes widen and his cheeks flush.
Your body was painted in a familiar shade of blue as he stares down at the art. Itā€™s gorgeous.
ā€œYou made your body into art.ā€ Todoroki hums quietly as he glances at a wall, ready to hang it up already.
ā€œI did, it was a trend I saw-ā€
ā€œYou are a masterpiece, I am honored to have this.ā€ Todoroki set the canvas down carefully and moves over toward you, peppering you with kisses.
ā€œI love it, thank you.ā€ Todoroki thanks you for your gift and your own cheeks begin to heat up.
ā€œIā€™m glad you like it.ā€ You smile, butterflies floating around in your stomach.
ā€œYou should make some more art, itā€™s lovely.ā€ Todoroki admires it some more.

hii :) can i request shoto with either a college au or fake dating au with the prompt ā€œkiss me againā€ FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF (nfsw if it flows and ONLY if you want) please
thank you for the request! i always forget how much i like writing todoroki. im sorry but i donā€™t do nsfw but please take my offering of a kissing scene haha
ā†³ todoroki shoto x reader ā†’ āall-nighterāž
event: au!prompts summary: you never expected to become friends with shoto todoroki but when you need to share a book for a project due in the morning you end up bonding. word count:Ā 1,939 tags/warnings: fluff, incident with a creepy guy at a party, comfort, first kiss a/n: i donā€™t know what college is like bear with me. thanks to @lilli-chae for the college insight. also im giving myself a reward for writing and posting before ten at night lol
Todoroki Shoto was the last person you ever expected to befriend. He was a rich boy from a rich family and those were people you usually tried to steer clear of. He was always silent, if someone asked you what he sounded like you wouldnā€™t be able to answer them. And he always stared, it wasnā€™t in a creepy way like some guys but it still unsettled you. You had a few classes with him but had only heard a few words from him.
The first time you ran into him he was lost on campus. It was oddly endearing, the sight of him standing there looking around confused. You asked him where he was going and it happened to be the same class as you. He hadnā€™t said much except for a ā€˜thank youā€™ once you reached the class.
It wasnā€™t until one night at the library that you started to see him differently. You had a project due the next day. Had you received it weeks ago? Yes, but in your defense, you had a lot of other projects. Okay, maybe you had procrastinated too much. It was late and you needed a specific textbook for the assignment. With your ice coffee in hand, you made your way to the library ready to pull an all-nighter.
As you reached for the book you were already so exhausted you hadnā€™t realized that someone else was reaching for it at the same time.
ā€œOh, Iā€™m sorry.ā€ You said looking up only to see Todoroki.
ā€œSorry.ā€ He said, looking sheepish.
ā€œIā€™ll grab another copy-ā€ As you looked at the shelf you realized there was only one. ā€œOh.ā€
ā€œMy project is due tomorrow, otherwise I would offer to use it after you.ā€ He said.
ā€œMine too.ā€ You said. ā€œWe could share it if you donā€™t mind.ā€
ā€œThat seems like the best option.ā€ He agreed.
The two of you set up at a table big enough for both of you to spread out. It turns out you had the same topic for the same class.
ā€œSo do you procrastinate a lot too?ā€ You said trying to break the ice with some humor.
ā€œNot normally.ā€ He said but didnā€™t elaborate.
ā€œI wish I could say the same but this happens to me more than Iā€™d like to admit.ā€ You said. ā€œYou can use it first, I have to get it started before I need the information.ā€
Shoto nodded and took the book before getting to work.
It was surprising how likable Shoto was once he opened up. He was a bit stiff and awkward but he was really funny and very considerate. You felt bad judging him on his family status. He was nothing like the rich brats you had encountered in the past.
The two of you would take breaks, you would offer him snacks, and most likely due to the sleep exhaustion, you shared a lot of personal stories. His family was something else. The more you got to know him all the pieces of who he was fit together.
The last thing you expected was to wake up with your head on his shoulder in the library the next morning.
ā€œShoto.ā€ You said nudging him awake. You looked at your phone, you had less than ten minutes to get to class for your presentations. ā€œWake up we have to hurry.ā€ You said.
Shotoā€™s different colored eyes opened and looked at you in confusion before he realizes where he was.
The two of you quickly scrambled to pick up all of your stuff and run to class. Thankfully everything had been pretty much done before you fell asleep but you were upset you wouldnā€™t be able to grab a coffee to wake you up before class.
Since that night you considered Shoto a friend. You would study together sometimes and grab a coffee or lunch between classes. You found yourself confiding in him and he did the same with you.
ā€œWhen did you and our schoolā€™s prettiest boy become best friends?ā€ Your friend Mina asked.
ā€œI think best friend is a bit strong, we just barely started hanging out.ā€ You said.
ā€œWell, best friend was me going easy on the teasing. The real question is when did you capture his icy heart?ā€ Mina teased.
ā€œWow, okay. There has been no capturing of icy hearts.ā€ You defended as your face heated up. Sure, Shoto was handsome and you liked his personality a lot but that didnā€™t mean you had a crush on him and you knew there was no way he would have a crush on you.
ā€œHave you seen the way he looks at you?ā€ She questioned.
ā€œYeah, he looks at me like he does everyone else.ā€ You said.
ā€œIf thatā€™s what you want to tell yourself,ā€ Mina said throwing her hands up.
ā€œIt is what Iā€™ll be telling myself.ā€
You did your best to push Minaā€™s words away but youā€™d be lying if you said you didnā€™t try to sneak glances at the way Shoto looked at you. Was his gaze softer when he looked at you? It had to just be your mind making it up.
It was a Friday night and that meant parties. Normally you were more of a stay at home and play video games and eat snacks kind of person but your friends wanted to go out and it had been a while so you agreed.
You ended up at a party on campus, it felt like almost everyone from school was there. You found yourself looking for one person in particular but you couldnā€™t spot him. Your heart sank a little bit, one of your motivations for going out was the hope that you would see Shoto.
You hadnā€™t meant to drink that much, you really didnā€™t have that many drinks but your tolerance wasnā€™t the greatest. You were having a good time, dancing with your friends. That was until some guy grabbed at you. Instinctually you hit him across the face gaining most peopleā€™s attention.
ā€œDid he touch you?ā€ A familiar voice said, your classmate Bakugou stood at your side in an instant with an intimidating glare. He was a bit over the top but underneath it all, he was a nice guy. Mina hung out with his group a lot and you had tagged along at times.
ā€œYeah.ā€ You nodded. You didnā€™t have to say another word before Bakugou was dragging him out of the party, his friends Kirishima, Denki, and Sero following along. Mina rushed to your side pulling you out of the party in the opposite direction.
ā€œAre you good?ā€ She asked.
It was nice, the cool air of the night. Your head had been spinning but the ordeal had sobered you up a lot.
ā€œYeah, Iā€™m okay.ā€ You told her.
ā€œWhat happened?ā€ A concerned voice interrupted. Shoto approached with concern on his face.
Mina explained what had happened and you saw an anger in Shoto you hadnā€™t seen before. He moved to the direction he assumed Bakugou had taken the man but you grabbed his arm.
ā€œCan you get me out of here?ā€ You asked him. You didnā€™t want him getting involved, this had been bad enough. You just wanted to pretend it hadnā€™t happened.
ā€œOf course.ā€ He said before looking to Mina. She nodded and Shoto placed his had between your shoulder blades and guided you away. ā€œAre you hungry?ā€
ā€œI could eat.ā€ You answered.
The two of you ended up in a 24/7 diner not too far away. Sitting down in a booth under the fluorescent lights you already felt better just being in Shotoā€™s presence.
It was quiet. You ordered water and chicken strips. You werenā€™t sure what to say, you didnā€™t want to talk about what had happened and Shoto seemed upset.
ā€œI should have been there sooner.ā€ He finally said. ā€œMy father called me, held me up.ā€
Was he blaming himself for not being there?
ā€œShoto, itā€™s not your fault. Itā€™s no oneā€™s fault. Iā€™m just happy that I got to see you tonight and to be honest hanging out here is a lot better than at that loud house.ā€
Shoto sighed but his expression softened.
ā€œIā€™m glad Iā€™m getting to spend time with you too.ā€ He said.
After that the mood was more relaxed, you talked about different things and laughed at Shotoā€™s jokes. Once you were done eating Shoto paid for your food, refusing to let you do so before he walked you back to the dorm you shared with Mina. Ā 
ā€œDo you want to stay for a bit?ā€ You asked.
ā€œArenā€™t you tired?ā€ He asked.
ā€œI donā€™t want to be alone.ā€ You admitted quietly.
Shoto walked in without a word. You sat on your bed opening up your laptop putting on something to watch before placing it on the table beside your bed. Shoto hesitantly joined you, sitting beside you leaving some space.
In retrospect you probably had a little leftover liquid courage from your drinks earlier when you scooted over closer to him, your leg pressed against his. Or maybe you just needed the comfort of having someone you trust close.
It was nice. The sound of Shotoā€™s soft breathes, the warmth that came from him, the way his arm brushed against yours. It was all comforting and helped the tenseness in your body melt away.
Before you could stop yourself you rested your head against his shoulder, you tensed for a moment waiting for a reaction but Shoto said nothing. A few moments later you were shocked when he took your hand in his softly. You couldnā€™t stop yourself from looking up at him. His soft gaze was already on you.
It felt unavoidable, unstoppable, the need to lean up and press your lips against his. At that moment you didnā€™t think of any consequences the action could have. It just felt right. Shoto didnā€™t pull back, rather he leaned forward meeting you halfway. His right hand cupped your cheek, you felt so small in his grip. His left hand moved to your waist pulling you closer.
After a moment you pulled back to take a breath.
ā€œKiss me again,ā€ Shoto said. You smiled at him and leaned in again. You adjusted yourself so you could wrap your arms around him, holding him close. It felt unreal. How could things change so quickly in one moment? In one second Shoto was your friend who you may or may not have a crush on and in the next you were kissing him wondering how you could ever lie to yourself.
How could you not like Shoto? He was so good to you, so interesting in every way. Every day your thoughts drifted to him whether you tried to stop them or not. You couldnā€™t get him out of your head. When you saw a cute dog you thought ā€˜I bet Shoto would like to see this dog.ā€™ When you ate at a new place you thought ā€˜I think Shoto would like the food here.ā€™
How had you convinced yourself you didnā€™t like him?
ā€œI really like you.ā€ You said pulling back again but keeping your hold on each other.
ā€œI really like you too.ā€ He whispered against your lips, looking deeply into your eyes. ā€œGo on a date with me. Please.ā€
ā€œHow can I say no?ā€ You smiled before kissing him again.
ā€œHey, how are you doing?ā€ Minaā€™s voice filled your dorm room as the door opened. You and Shoto froze as Mina stared. ā€œNevermind, looks like youā€™re doing great.ā€ She said before shutting the door and leaving.
ā€œIā€™m never gonna hear the end of it from her.ā€ You sighed.

PART 3 OF ITS YOUR FAULT PLS !!!! I LOVE IT EKDBJSHD
Tumblr media
Well since yā€™all asked so nicely-
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Kuroo x reader - itā€™s your fault (pt. 3) (final)
āš ļøwarnings - angst
Pronouns - male, he/him
Tumblr media
part 1 can be found here!
part 2 can be found here!
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Sports sucks. Thatā€™s what Kuroo knew about (y/n), yet he still egged him on to play volleyball with him. He had a choice to say no, which was what younger him was hoping for, yet he still did it in hope of gaining his affection.
All his life he thought he was annoying. All his life heā€™d been in the mindset of how annoying he was, and how blissful it wouldā€™ve been for him to just disappear off the face of the earth.
So when (y/n) suddenly stopped showing up to practice, Kuroo didnā€™t expect himself to get worried.
He was starting to miss all the clingy touches, or the ā€˜good morning, Kuroo-kun!ā€™ every single morning practice. He didnā€™t realize how quiet the walk was to his classes, or to and from home, when (y/n) wasnā€™t there to fill the noise on random things he found cool or how his day was. He didnā€™t know how expensive the drink (y/n) religiously bought him from the vending machine was, even though he bought him the drink with a smile plastered on his face like it was nothing.
ā€œOh, (y/n)? He quit the team.ā€
Kuroo dropped the volleyball he was holding. Heā€™d gone up to coach nekomata to ask where (y/n) was, and why he wasnā€™t showing up to practice. But he was regretting asking in the first place. Nekomata gave him a sympathetic look.
Kuroo picked up his volleyball, gave him the best smile he could afford, and walked away. Why was he so devastated? Why did his heart feel like it sunk into his stomach? Why was his chest hurting like that? He shouldā€™ve been glad that (y/n) was finally gone.
So why does his heart hurt so much?
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Kuroo figured heā€™d stop by his apartment to see what was going on. Itā€™s been weeks, yet he couldnā€™t find him anywhere in his classrooms, and he nor Kenma could reach him on his phone.
When he walked up the stairs, looking for the ever familiar door to his apartment, he was nervous. For once in his life when going to talk to the boy, he was nervous. It wasnā€™t a good feeling, he never felt nervous to talk to him before.
When he noticed the door slightly ajar, he clutched the apology basket of sweets in his hand tighter. He wasnā€™t sure what he wanted to apologize for, though. Maybe for yelling at him, or maybe for something else.
ā€œ...hello? (Y-y/n)?ā€ When he opened the door, he was met face to face with construction workers, and a blank apartment. Kuroos heart stopped beating. A man, who Kuroo believes was the apartment owner, looked at Kuroo, to his schools jacket, and down to his basket saying ā€œIā€™m sorry (y/n) :(ā€œ
ā€œOh? Are you here for that (h/c)-haired kid?ā€ Kuroo nodded vigorously.
ā€œSorry bud. He moved out a few days ago.ā€ Kuroo couldnā€™t hide the devastated frown from tugging at his lips. He mumbled a small ā€œsorryā€ and spedwalked out of the building.
He spammed (y/nā€™s) phone, probably texting more than he ever did his whole life combined, with ā€œwhere are youā€™sā€ and ā€œhey look Iā€™m sorry, okay? Please answer meā€™sā€
None of them were even read.
Kenma didnā€™t react well to knowing one of his best friends moved away so suddenly. Unlike Kuroo, (y/n) was good friends with him, practically attached to the hip. When Kuroo told him he couldnā€™t find (y/n) at his apartment, Kenma clutched his ds harder and glared at the screen like it was itā€™s fault for making him disappear.
But as much as Kenma blamed the ds, they both knew it was Kuroos fault.
ā€”ā€”ā€”
Kuroo strived to be a better person. He came to terms with his feelings for (y/n), and how he could never repeat his mistake again.
He grew to love (y/n), and he messed it up so bad.
Heā€™d be sure to never lead anyone on again, minus when heā€™d lead his team to victory as their new captain. Heā€™d try and hold less grudges, tell someone when he doesnā€™t like them, as to let them down easy instead of blowing up in their face, and even bought his team snacks and filled up their water bottles during practice.
Kuroo walked around the unknown streets of miyagi, scanning his eyes for a mop of bleached hair. He knew Kenma got distracted on his phone, but this was excessive, even for him.
Eventually, his eyes landed on two bright figures. Kenmas usual bright blond hair, and a tuft of orange next to him.
ā€œKenma!ā€
Kenmas head whipped up, and he shut off his phone, but then a flash of (h/c) came into his peripherals. He looked a little further down and locked eyes with someone who made his throat close up.
(Y/n).
He looked older. Not in the way that he looks physically older, but he carried himself with a somewhat mature, grown stance that made Kuroo so a double take. His hair was slightly longer and he was wearing a black team jacket instead of the red Nekoma jacket he used to wear. Shocked (e/c) colored eyes morphed into an expression of pure resentment, making Kuroos shocked happiness short lived. Kenma walked up next to him, about to ask what happened when Kuroo turned his head away, walking with his head down.
Kenma waved bye to Hinata, when his eyes landed on (y/n). He was talking to a silver headed guy, with a distasteful frown directed at Kuroo. He didnā€™t say anything though, just ducked his head and walked beside his captain.
ā€”ā€”ā€”
(Y/n) kept his eyes fixed on the ground, as Nekoma and Karasuno stood in a line, facing eachother. Kenma was practically standing in front of him, shocked to the core, but also averting his gaze. Not just because (y/n), but Hinata next to the boy was staring at him with his mouth agape.
Eventually everyone filed into the gym, Hinata stopping Kenma to talk, while taketora eyed him menacingly. (Y/n) side-eyed the little interaction with an unwanted jealousy. He wanted to talk to Kenma, he WAS his childhood and best friend. But it soon dissipated when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
That jealousy turned into hatred.
ā€œCan we talk, (y/n)?ā€
(Y/n) slapped Kuroos hand away and stepped past him, pushing him back slightly with his shoulder.
ā€œDonā€™t call me that. You have no right. Itā€™s
(L/n).ā€
Kuroo watched as (y/n) stepped into the gym, his lips pressed into a fine line.
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
(Y/n) sat on a bench in the corner with an obviously closed off aura, watching as people set up the net or the players from both schools talked to eachother. He walked as Kuroo shook hands with Daichi, not noticing the mop of bleached hair sit himself next to him. (Y/n) flinched when he felt something brush his shoulder.
He whipped his head around to find Kenma, sitting right next to him, but looking straight in front of him. He said nothing, and fiddled with his fingers. Guess he didnā€™t change, even after a new school year.
(Y/n) relaxed a bit and went back to stalking his team and old teammates with a somewhat less intimidating aura. They sat in heavy silence for what seemed like forever, until (y/n) coughed into his Karasuno jacket.
ā€œS-so how you been Ke-ā€œ
ā€œSo youā€™re just not gonna tell me why you left?ā€
Kenma was looking straight at (y/n), with his normal, neutral gaze. It looked like his normal face, but (y/n) knew how hurt he was. He understood, though. He would be hurt too if his best friend moved without saying goodbye.
ā€œIā€™m...Iā€™m sorry.ā€
ā€œItā€™s fine.ā€
More silence consumed them. Sounds of sneakers squeaking and the rustle of the net being hung up seemed to vanish under the cloud of quiet sheltering them. Kenma stood up.
ā€œIā€™m not mad. But I know why you left. And Iā€™m not saying itā€™s a stupid reason, but you should talk to him.ā€
Kenma walked away without another word, leaving (y/n) to trail his eyes over to his old teammate, now captain. The frown that summoned up on his face came naturally, despite taking Kenmas words to heart.
He also stood up, brushing himself off and turning his cheery attitude back on. Why play a game with a frown when youā€™re about to destroy your old team?
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
(Y/n) wasnā€™t mad he lost. He was actually quite satisfied with ticking off some of his old teammates by receiving spikes or feints no one saw coming. He sort of felt like an inside man. A spy even. It wasnā€™t enough to secure a win, but (y/n) never really cared for that.
Everyone was bidding their new friends goodbye, or just idly standing by. He promised Kenma to unblock his number, but only if they never talked about Kuroo again. (Y/n) knew he was being petty, but if it meant never talking to that piece of shit again, so be it-
ā€œStop ignoring me.ā€
Speak of the fucking devil. (Y/n) didnā€™t turn around, choosing to clutch the edge of his black jacket instead.
ā€œThen stop trying to fix a friendship that never existed, Kuroo.ā€
ā€œOi!ā€ Kuroo grabbed onto (y/nā€™s) shoulder harshly, pulling him back and making him stumble a little. (Y/n) pried and clawed at Kuroos iron hard grip. As much as he hated to admit it, he missed Kuroos touch, a lot.
ā€œCan we please have a civilized fucking conversation? Iā€™m fuckin begging you here!ā€
ā€œStop fucking cursing and let go of me you fuckass scheming bitch!ā€
(Y/n) swung at Kuroos head, but avertedly missed. He wasnā€™t sure if he missed on purpose, or if Kuroo ducked. Kuroo grabbed onto (y/nā€™s) waist, earning a choked squeak, and hauled him over his shoulder. Kuroo looked for a secluded area, ignoring the fists digging repeatedly into his back and the confused stares he got passing by his team and (y/nā€™s) teammates.
Kuroo practically threw (y/n) off his back, him stumbling down and hitting the back of a wall a bit harshly, and trapped him between his body and the wall. Both of his hands were on either side of (y/nā€™s) head, and his legs were long enough to trap him in if he tried to escape.
(Y/n) shrunk back into the wall ever so slightly, but kept the scowl present on his face. Kuroo pursed his lips and sighed.
ā€œ(Y/n)-ā€œ
ā€œLet me go. I donā€™t wanna tal-ā€œ
ā€œGODDAMNIT (Y/N) IM BUSTING MY BALLS HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IM SORRY!ā€ Kuroo slammed his hands against the wall again, earning a surprised flinch from the smaller boy. ā€œFUCKING LISTEN TO ME! PLEASE!ā€
Kuroos eyes softened a bit when he finally met eyes with (y/nā€™s) petrified form, cowering against the wall with his arms tucked in shakily. (Y/n) was quick to push past Kuroo though, diving past him and turning around, free from the wall.
ā€œYou see-this is what I fucking hate about you! You act so slick and perfect to the point where you lead people on to think they mean something important to you! I wanted to be a writer, Kuroo! I gave that up to spend my time bouncing a fucking volleyball around with you, and what did I get?! Nothing! I only did it for your stupid friendship, yet I didnā€™t even get that!ā€
(Y/n) practically had steam rolling out up his ears, and his words dripped with pure hatred with each retort. Kuroo opened his mouth to speak, but (y/n) beat him to it.
ā€œSo if you really want to apologize, give me back the blood sweat and tears I wasted on this stupid volleyball shit!ā€
(Y/n) punched at Kuroos chest with trembling hands. He kept punching and hitting Kuroo until Kuroo gently grabbed his wrists and pulled him into a hug. Kuroo felt him balling his fists into his back, trying to push him away, but he knew he was stronger. (Y/nā€™s) mouth was muffled by the cloth of Kuroos shirt, yet he still kicked and screamed at the top of his lungs.
ā€œLET ME GO! I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK! I WANT ALL THE YEARS I COULDā€™VE BEEN WRITING OR LITERALLY BE DOING SOMETHING I ACTUALLY FUCKING LIKE BACK! ITS YOUR FAULT! ITS YOUR FAULT THAT MY ARMS HURT EVERYDAY! ITS YOUR FAULT I GAVE UP ON WRITING! ITS YOUR FAULT! I HATE YOU! I HATE VOLLEYBALL! I FUCKING HATE YOU! I hate you! I-I hate...I....ā€
Yelling turned into incoherent sobs as (y/nā€™s) punches died out into love taps. Kuroo said nothing, rubbing circles onto (y/nā€™s) back, who finally gave up and weakly wrapped his arms around Kuroos waist. He stained Kuroo with his salty tears, choking out half assed ā€œlet me goā€s in between hics and sobs like a broken record.
They stood like that in comfortable silence, Kuroo combing fingers through (y/nā€™s) hair while the smaller boys sobs turned into occasional sniffles. Kuroo rocked gently from side to side, attempting to calm him down until he was ready to talk.
ā€œI just wanted to be your friend, stupid Kuroo...ā€ his words were barely understandable through the cracks and sniffles of his voice-also being muffled by Kuroos chest-but the taller boy heard every word as clear as day. He rested his chin on top of (y/nā€™s) head, looking off to the side.
ā€œSorry. If it means anything, I was stupid enough to hold a childhood grudge against you. You did nothing wrong. I just...i was dumb and disliked you because I thought you were lazy and annoying even though you were anything but that and...yeah. Sorry.ā€
Kuroo pulled away from the hug, the cold air hitting (y/n) like a truck. He silently whined at the loss of contact, wiping away stray tears with his team jacket. Kuroo awkwardly held his hands behind his back, his tongue suddenly feeling too big to fit comfortably in his mouth.
ā€œ...Iā€™m sorry too.ā€
(Y/n) averted his gaze, his eyes half lidded and puffy from crying. Kuroo looked at (y/n) with a blank expression.
ā€œWhy?ā€
ā€œFor um...being annoying or something. And like...bitching a lot. Iā€™m sorr-.ā€
Kuroo grabbed hold of (y/nā€™s) shoulders and shook him violently. ā€œDonā€™t apologize! You donā€™t have anything to be sorry for! Itā€™s my fault! Let me take the blame!ā€
ā€œGod shut up youā€™re gonna make me cry again.ā€
ā€œ...sorry.ā€
Kuroo looked like a kicked puppy, which made (y/n) burst into a fit of laughter. Kuroos ears perked up as he was graced with the sight of (y/n) wiping happy tears off his face and clutching his stomach. It was a beautiful sight, so beautiful that it made Kuroos chest tighten.
Chuckles died out into snickers as (y/n) huffed and leaned against the wall.
ā€œSo-what are we? Friends?ā€
Kuroo hesitantly nodded, watching (y/nā€™s) face intently for any sign of protest. When (y/n) broke out into a smile, Kuroo felt like he was on cloud nine. Like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders after so long. He felt like he was flying.
ā€œWe should probably head back. I gotta go back to my schoo-ā€œ
ā€œYeah. Yeah thatā€™s probably..smart...ā€
It was kind of bittersweet knowing you had to say goodbye to someone you just got your hands back on, but after (y/n) unblocked his number right infront of him before enveloping him in a hug, he supposed it was alright.
ā€œBye~! call me~ā€ (y/n) mouthed out, stepping onto the bus. People started asking him if he was crying, or what that meltdown was about, but he just shrugged and put some earbuds in with a reserved smile.
Sports sucks. Thatā€™s the mindset (y/n) has, and probably will have forever.
But not when Iā€™m with you.
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Epilogue:
ā€œ(Y/n)!ā€ Kuroo ran up behind the boy and picked him up, twirling him around before setting him down. Tsukishima visibly gagged while Yamaguchi snickered behind him, stepping off the bus and preparing for the training camp.
ā€œYo! Whatā€™s up! God I missed you and your stupid hair.ā€
ā€œI missed you too~ā€
...
ā€œSo...are we-ā€œ
ā€œYeah, thatā€™s what we said on video chat right? I mean-if you meant it and all.ā€
ā€œI DID!ā€ Kuroo picked his new boyfriend up, this time placing a chaste kiss on the bridge of his nose.
ā€œAnd god I love you so much.ā€
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
And thatā€™s it!! I hope you enjoyed this series!! Also thank you for 100 followers!! Iā€™m so thankful!!

SO i just finished wonder egg priority and i think that with confidence i can say it has been one of my favorite animes like... ever ?? and not even from hyperfixation or obsession over it just... its so fucking real yet so simple in a way that i havent rlly seen shown in any other shows you feel ??
but first i wanna talk about how sexy the art and animation is real quick... HOMIE ITS SO GOOD LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT JUST... serotonin... the characters are all so unique and iconic and fun but not over the top in their designs yknow ??? they seem like regular every day girls but they stand out and theyre all sO CUTE !!!! also i love how the style is like this soft bubbly slice of life lookin stuff with bright happy colors and the most beautiful scenes you could find but they also have the SICKEST fight scenes complete with whimsical animal helpers and terrifying villains and crazy weapons unique to each character. and the animation. god DAMN shawty i am obsessed with everything in this show. i might make a post solely about the art later lol bc i wanna get into the other stuff.
so the themes in the show right ?? it starts just as this cute lil magical girl kinda deal but within the first episode we see that like.. oh damn... thats kinda heavy... tbh i was a little shocked and thought about stopping bc yknow bad mental health BUT i was so intrigued that i had to keep going and i am SO GLAD that i did. because this show just so beautifully discusses all these heavy topics in such an eloquent and artistically expressive way. and also like, , the juxtaposition of the charming childlike vibe with bright colors and 14 yr old girl protagonists against the dark themes of suicide and so much else,, i think is just perfect. bc a lot of heavy animes are more of the seinen genre and have some middle aged dude as a protag or make the entire color palette dim or offer little relief to the pain of these heavy themes right ?? but NO not wonder egg bitches B) because these problems arent just things that ppl face later in life or just problems that need to be talked about among adults or the edgy seinen watching squad,, these are REAL problems that face people of every age, gender etc and i think its awesome that wonder egg addresses that. some may cringe at the thought of their high schooler watching animes that discuss sexual harassment, suicide, abuse, self harm, eating disorders etc,, but in reality it is the most comforting thing i have ever come across and is basically jsut free anime therapy. because not only does wonder egg present these themes to the viewers as something real that happens to all kinds of people (making said people feel heard in a way that maybe they hadnt before), but it also makes sure to vanquish all of these forms of trauma. and the way the trauma is vanquished isnt always beautiful and it isnt always just magically gone with a poof. the struggles of overcoming or living with that sort of thing are shown in such a real and relatable way that addresses every hardship trauma survivors have to go through. and i just. god i cry bro.Ā 
oh m y GOD and the lgbtq+ rep in this show ?? like shawty... as soon as i saw episode one i was picking up on some gay/lesbian themes but then again im sapphic and project that a lot so i tend to see that sort of stuff like... everywhere... but NE WAYS... episode ten made me FUKCING CRY BRO LIke i cant believe there was a whole trans character with a whole trans pride hoodie like LKGHKDGH my heart is just so.. so fucking full thinking about him. bc like yeah i know there are trans characters in anime but i feel like theyre always very ambiguous about actually being trans or not or erased or portrayed as a harmful stereotype or theyre constantly misgendered and still refered to as their assigned gender at birth and i hate it. HOWEVEr... Kaoru.. *chefs kiss* it was so amazing to see a character straight up sayĀ ā€œyeah im transā€ in such a casual yet powerful way bc i personally have never seen that before. and i love love loved how he went into his backstory and talked to momoe about gender bc i think thats what she rlly needed and that it helped her find herself and it makes me so happy oh my god,, and the way they talked about it never seemed forced or like it was the focal point of his existence yknow ?? like yeah he existed to help momoe overcome some of her trauma but he also just existed to be HIM yknow ?? also... personally, i headcanon momoe as a trans girl even though i dont remember it being explicitly stated plus the school scenes of her and stuff would seem like they suggest otherwise ??but,,, SHAWTY THE AMOUNT OF SUBTEXT and her complicated relationship w gender is... something i feel like a cis girl would not go through so harshly yknow ?? with all of the questioning and feeling detached from femininity or feeling like ppl dont see her as an actual girl and only like her as a guy or for her masculine traits,,, but dont take my word on this bc i myself am a cis girl but that was just my take on it as someone in the lgbtq+ community trying to educate myself on the transgender community :) either way,, wonder eggs portrayal of momoe and kaoru and the way that momoe becomes so passionate about expressing herself the way she wants to as a girl is just... good lord im gonna cry its so perfect,,,.so ... i just love this show way too much. i also am honestly super lost about the relationship btwn acca and ura-acca ?? bc i was gonna mention ura-acca as a canonically gay guy bc when i was watching i interpreted ep 11 as him being in love with acca and being jealous of Azusa (bc i mean,, they lived together (i swear to god there was only one bed in that apartment) and had a daughter together and def loved each other and also when Frill said they were husbands and then when ura-acca said he wasnt attracted to azusa but he was def jealous of their relationship ??) but then i saw somewhere that theyre brothers ?? which would make sense ig since they look kinda similar and accas daughter called ura-accaĀ ā€œuncleā€.. but at the same time its ANIME SO THEY ALL LOOK SIMILAR and referring to gay couples as siblings is an EXTREMELY common euphemism soooo... IM JUST LOST HERE... but yeah i tried doing research and found different things so i cant say anything for sure >:( however,,, if they are canonically a lil fruity for each other... when frill refered to acca as ura-accas husband i imploded dude you never hear that sort of wording in anime.. but if theyre related i am so sorry.Ā 
god this is so much longer than i planned it to be oops but i also love the theme about like.. relying on friends to help carry your weight but at the same time not becoming completely dependent on those friends and using their support to learn how to love yourself and rely on yourself yknow ?? bc that is exactly what healthy friendships look like. bc i think ai sort of had a codependency thing goin on with koito maybe ?? but now she has a whole squad of funky friends that are so so different but all struggle with different kinds of trauma and although they fight over it, they always get through it with each other together. and they push each other no matter what to be the best versions of themselves and they teach other that getting hurt is okay because theyre always gonna be there to pick up the pieces no matter what happens. they can give each other space when they need and adapt to meet each others needs but theyre always able to balance it out with their own needs and thats such a beautiful thing in friendships especially at their age like damn i wish i had that maturity when i was 14 but no all i had was depression. another thing is that through these friendships you get to see all the different sides of each girl; you get to see them being strong or a shining light to their friends when theyre hurting but you also get to see them being hurt and weak and allowing themselves to be on the receiving end of the comfort. their friendships allows them to have weaknesses but it also allows them to highlight their strengths and thrive off of each others. I LOVE FRIENDSHIP DUDE
next i wanna briefly mention some of the themes connected to suicide that ive noticed. a big one is the survivors guilt that ai feels once koito is dead. several times she screams that she wishes she couldve gone with koito and she dreams of aĀ ā€œperfect worldā€ where they committed a double suicide. one of the main reasons for her troubles is that she blames herself for koitos death and feels like it should be her thats dead... but at the same time she feels like too much of a coward to do anything now that koito is gone. she just has all these complex and contradicting feelings that wear away at her in ways that ppl that havent gone through the suicide of a loved one could never imagine. a lot of the times when things like this are portrayed in media i feel like its more in a way thats meant to guilt trip those that have taken their own lives and paint suicide as this selfish sin thats unforgivable but... not only does wonder egg reject that idea and instead portray it as a heartbreaking tragedy with,,, so so many terrible reasons, but it focuses on the feelings of ai separate from koito without blaming her in any way. not once did i feel like the show antagonized koito or that ai blamed koito for doing any of this, but they simply mourned her loss and touched on ais reaction towards the event but separate from koito herself if that makes sense. and i think that discussing survivors guilt without painting koito as the bad guy is something so beautifully done in wonder egg that can really resonate with those that have lost a loved one to suicide and have struggled with these same things.
okay i think this is the last thing ill mention,,, but HOMIE THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE BIT AT THE END. I AM. OBSESSED. i am such a whore for anything about the multiverse okay n e ways...,, not only did this make a super epic trippy ending of season one and add a little bit more magical girl whimsy to the show,, but it had such a powerful message. from the perspective of og ai,, finding out that you killed yourself in another world is... i mean its definitely not a surprise but at the same time it rlly makes you think how close og ai herself couldve been to that point and what decisions led her out of that dark place in her life. if i were in her shoes i would be terrified and id cry bc the thought of going back to such a dark place and actually going through with something like that is my worst fear and probably something that ai fears too. but at the same time,,, think from the perspective of ai two !!! like yeah its true that theres this awful terrible version of ai that dies but theres also a whole version of ai that is a superhero magical girl fighting off monsters to save countless ppls lives !! and she has a badass lizard and a gang of awesome friends !!! at first i was worried that ai two would be jealous of og ai and compare herself to her and feel inferior but like.. THEYRE LITERALLY THE SAME PERSON AND CAPABLE OF THE SAME THINGS !!! and ai two realized that !! just within the span of one episode, she went from the version of ai who took her life,, to the version of ai jumping in front of a friend to take a bullet for them and save their life. and that just inspired THE SHIT OUT OF ME. i think that ai was sent another version of herself to sort of beat her own worst enemy yknow ?? those doubts and fears that shes no good or that shes that same bystander from episode one and that she hasnt changed at all. but getting to interact with her parallel self and see her grow was just what she needed to realize that while yeah sometimes the worst thing can happen and things can be terrible but on the other hand sometimes the most wonderful thing imaginable can happen because she has the power to do either.Ā 
so im gonna go ahead and stop rambling bc i got all my thoughts out that i wanted to for this post :D but yeah lol i might make another if i feel like it sometime. long story short: this show is perfect and it is going on my favorite of all times.

- going back to that line i could say so much about it but....for someone whoā€™s life was literally MUSIC for the 17 years he was alive, and after finding out he could play music again even though he was dead and saying it made him feel alive, he would give that up- he would give up playing his guitar, playing in a band with his friends, give up writing and singing music- if he wasnā€™t doing that with julie. thatā€™s more than saying i love you,,,thatā€™s literally like saying iā€™d give up my ENTIRE LIFE and what i love to do if i dont get to do it with you
- i just made myself cry with that description...wow
-the hug<3
-also imagine how luke felt in that moment,,, hearing this girl, once again that he would give his life up for, saying in his ear that she loves them. i would motherfucking glow too, luke
- *passionately but gently holds each others faces*
-HANDS OFF MY BABY NICK, CALEB
- calebā€™s outfit is....something
- the head turn plssss
this was so long and i am so sorry but if you read this far.....leave some of your own reactions or thoughts:)))

āž¼ chongyun || hiraeth
tw: mention of knives (no violence), kidnapping, explosion _______
you angled your camera to catch your face and upper body correctly and adjusted your blinds for the correct lighting. you put thin pieces of yellow and pink paper over your lamp to give off a sunset lighting sort of aesthetic in your minimalist room. your tiny cacao tree sat in the corner of your room, setting some sort of simple beach vibe.
then, you began to stream.
you watched as majority of your followers came to view as you sat in your rolly gaming chair. the greetings came rushing in and you noticed two of your friends had came along too, xingqiu and chongyun.
"hey gang, it's kingexplosionmurder here with your weekly sunday stream," you smiled and watched as comments came in asking you to notice them. beginning to select randomly, you flicked a short strand of hair behind your ear. "you have been noticed, yourlocalsugardaddy," you blessed them. and you swore you chose randomly.
on the other side of the screen, chongyun's face slightly flushed before eating his popsicle again. yes, that was his username, selected by xingqiu after the guhua heir was somehow able to trick him into selecting so. the situation must've been that he accidentally consumed some jueyun chili's, that was also xingqiu's doing.
he watched you smile as you explained your schedule for this stream, when he noticed you suddenly began laughing. it sounded genuine, he wanted to believe it was genuine, but there was a trace of disappointment in it. he observed your face, noticing you were looking at the chat box. "i agree too, scarymoose."
scarymoose: this streamer's kinda dog shit ngl šŸ˜
by instinct, his fingers grazed over the keyboard as he analyzed the tone. this kid wasn't joking around with himself, he was really out to bring you down. he exhaled, shaking his head, wondering how you would deal in the situation.
yourlocalsugardaddy: miss karen this isn't yelp šŸ™„
he wasn't content with that yet, things could've gone onto more serious matters, but he knew you liked to keep your chat clean and peaceful. you went to the farther extents to keep that from happening, agreeing with rude comments yourself as a said joke, but actually have it sometimes harming you.
so chongyun tried his best to keep you happy.
redrumreaper: yo moose chill šŸ˜³
he recognized his friend xingqiu also trying to calm the situation as you just laughed it off and attempted to continue, sooner enough just beginning to ignore all his comments. some other viewers came up to your defense but in all honesty, you wanted to move on.
"s-so, i found some silk flowers outside of wangshuu inn yesterday, aren't they pretty?" you took a tiny bouquet of the said silk flowers and presented it to your viewers, holding it next to your cheek. the pink tone of the flowers matched the color of your cheeks and made for a nice picture. chongyun would've screenshotted it, but he respected your privacy.
yourlocaldumba$$: yes they're so pretty we love you šŸ˜
13lue13erry: yes ong ong šŸ’• thiccer than my granny
Straw13erry: don't bring madame ping into this šŸ’€šŸ’€
colino: are you sure it's alright to take from someone's legally owned property ?? much less from their garden
Straw13erry: u mean ur neighbors don't harvest ur flowers every day? šŸ™„ privilege spoke šŸ¤š
yourlocalsugardaddy: vv pretty šŸ˜³
redrumreaper: simp šŸ’€
you slightly choked over on your side and xingqiu calling chongyun a simp, for you. quickly clearing your throat, you regained your composure. your viewers could see that your cheeks had been dusted with a darker shade now.
13lue13erry: šŸ‘€
Straw13erry: šŸ‘€
yourlocaldumba$$: šŸ‘€
redrumreaper: šŸ‘€
sireluck: šŸ’€
bazinga: šŸ‘€
dandelionn: šŸ‘€
poetichoe: šŸ‘€
"okay- anyways," you pushed that aside, watching the chain of šŸ‘€'s coming in. you weren't too sure at what they were referring to, but just assumed that they were interested in xingqiu exposing chongyun. but, there was no way chongyun really felt like that, right? it was just a friendly compliment from what you believed. "just a tiny flex but y'all guys, i am so cracked at apex, not gonna lie. for all the new followers out there," you randomly commented. 'and to change the subject.'
"actually, you know what? fuck the schedule, let's go to trolling little eight year old kids posting selfies on instagram. due to certain reasons i'm just not gonna be blurring their usernames out, but please don't spam these people, i don't wanna be cancelled šŸ’—" you sweetly smiled as you pulled up instagram and started streaming on your phone.
of course your sus notifications ruined it šŸ¤”šŸ¤”
because xingqiu took advantage of the situation, sending messages to your discord. nothing mentioning your romantic life because he knew better than that, but just trolling. 'HEY GANG. ITS ME, TONY, AND TODAY WE'RE GONNA SEE IF IM FASTER THAN THIS MOUSE TRAP.' 'TURNS OUT, I AM NOT FASTER THAN THIS MOUSE TRAP.' 'AN UPDATE, IT HURTS. ALRIGHT. BYE GUYS.' you tried hard to contain your laughter, but certain giggles came out in the end, giggles that made chongyun's heart flutter.
xingqiu just kept spamming without a stop, to the point that you accidentally clicked into the notification instead of someone's username on a selfie post. so now everyone could see your group chat with xingqiu, chongyun, and a few other viewers that were actually your other friends.
13lue13erry: oh no šŸ¤”
Straw13erry: šŸ—æ
yourlocaldumba$$: HAHAHAHA WE'RE EXPOSED šŸ¤”šŸ‘Œ
just water support boy šŸ˜”: image.png
oh my god he's sending chongyun catboy edits. you made this concerning noise, glad no one really seemed to know who chongyun really was on twitch. you went back to instagram, beginning to dm a random kid, ignoring the situation that had just happened.
chongyun choked, slight heat running to his cheeks. what the fuck was xingqiu doing- how did he even get those pictures? maybe it was that one time xingqiu forced him to go to a furry con, but how did he ever get the time to photograph these? he nervously fidgeted and played with his fingers.
13lue13erry: šŸ¤”
Straw13erry: šŸ¤”
yourlocaldumba$$: šŸ¤”
redrumreaper: šŸ¤”
<ā€” oraoraoraor
kingexplosionmurder: chav check

oraoraoraor: ig ur fans gonna be so disappointed in you
kingexplosionmurder: stop dming me
oraoraoraor: hahaha wtf i'm gonna post this and tag you
kingexplosionmurder: stop dming me
afterwards you sent a barrage of really cursed images and left the person on read when they tried to complain and get a reaction out of you. you chuckled, extremely satisfied with yourself. this is what your viewers followed you for. you went on hunting for another user, "GO Y/N GO" filling up your chat.
you were just about to dm this other kid until you heard a ring from your doorbell. "oh what the fuck, i didn't invite anyone. but you know what, i'll pull something up to entertain y'all guys while i'm afk." searching on youtube, you typed in 'banana fish ep. 1' and clicked on the longest video you saw. then you got up from your chair, making your way to the front door.
you didn't mute yourself before because you thought there was really no need to, and you underestimated your mic sensitivity. god did you wish that you could go back and time and do just that.
twisting the doorknob, you opened your door and was met with... a certain, someone.
someone that you recognized and has caused you so much pain, and it was all so fun and games before they had to come along. "bruh. aight what you here for fam?" you played it super chill, though you were really sick and tired of this person's shit.
"(y/n). we need to talk," her stern voice made you flinch as you just stared straight into her eyes. you simply nodded your head and crossed your arms, shifting your weight onto your right leg. "we're thinking of taking you back home."
your froze, your breath hitching as you just stood there, waiting for her to go on. clenching your fists and looking down, you stayed silent for a little moment and questioned, "...why?"
"well, you have a stable income source, right?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips. "you can finally be of use to us," she clasped her hands together, a bright smile on her face. your finger twitched, awaiting an explanation. "you're a streamer, yeah? so you can be a useful asset to our family name."
"...you only want me to come back so i can make you all seem... good?"
and here you thought, just for a second, that you would be accepted back into the place where you really belonged. your shoulders slumped, as small tears began to well up in your eyes. "and for our profitable gain of course, it would be a shame to not acquire that from you."
you composed yourself and looked up. "im afraid my profit can only cover for one person, and it would be myself that i focus to make a suitable and independent living out of. you've kicked me out ever since i've graduated from college and had me fend for myself, now inviting me back once i have a stable job?" you breathed, fiddling with the sleeves of your black hoodie.
"oh, not inviting, dear. taking."
confused by her words, you let your guard down as she suddenly pushed a warm cloth over your mouth as you let out a constrained scream. you tried to break free of her grasp, reaching for the switchblade in your pocket, but the drowsing chemicals from the cloth took control of you and you felt disoriented. "you... bitch..."
your head hit the floor.
怋ā—āœæ time ā— skip āœæā—
silence.
thats all you heard when you awoke.
pure, unfiltered silence that overwhelmed you as you were completely lost. what was happening?
you tried turning to the other side of your childhood bed, the moon casting light shadows into your 'room'. there was a rope around your wrists you noticed, so you brought them up to your lips and starting gnawing on them until it broke apart. (guys we feral its not a furry instinct ok?/ ?? Ā ?)
the material had irritated your skin, but you put that aside for now. escape- thats what you really needed to do. it was fairly dark, but you didn't have a good estimate of time. the analog clock was broken and set to a different time that displayed 11AM. you sat up, your fingers running along the frame of the window next to you.
for a moment, you stopped, thoughts rushing into your head. what if you could start a whole other life here where things could finally be peaceful, what if you didn't have to feel so isolated anymore, what if you could- ...
no. (y/n), get yourself together. what has happened will anyways stay there, and there is no healing scars. ...still, you couldn't shake off the feeling of missing this home so much when you had an amazing childhood, though full of fake actors who had manipulated you.
opening all the cabinets silently, you grabbed things that you assumed would come to your aid. a tiny backpack, which you then stuffed with other things around it. a first aid kit, a spare knife just in case, along with a clean oversized sweater and a couple dollar bills. all that, along with a compass.
you turned towards your window, stepping on your bed.
pushing open the sides of your window, your stepped on, the brown coldness of the frame coming in contact with your feet. you shivered just a little bit before stopping to think. what would you do once you were out of here? you barely knew your way here. and not to mention, your devices were still left at your other house, so there was no way of contact.
...
did your stream ever end? even if it did, had you muted yourself before leaving? no, you didn't, and you could remember in precise detail. someone out there, anyone, would be willing to help, right? you couldn't possibly be here forever, not when you're basically blown up all over your socials?
your friends, yes, your friends! xingqiu and chongyun were watching the stream and had made obvious interaction in doing so, and they'd be willing to protect you. if they just had a lead...
but... what lead was there? all they heard was the woman's voice and, that was probably it, wasn't it? only a voice with no other clear features that could identify her. it looked like you were doing this on your own.
you came in contact with the blades of grass tickling your feet and conveniently found a pair of sneakers outside. it definitely wasn't yours, and it smelled like the scent of your old room. most likely, it belonged to someone from inside your house, lavender and mint, but who inside there was in the age range to wear modern day sneakers..?
brushing that question aside, you unhesitatingly laced them on and they were just a bit too big, but you could manage.
you breathed, inhaling the freedom intertwined air, a much needed factor of bringing you back to your lost sense of happiness. then, the fear struck you once again, because you needed to improvise now. you needed to run, but which direction? you barely knew this place at all.
you dug around your pocket for the compass you had and it was pointing east. you remember that stepping out of your house was facing west, so you were going the right way... but who knows how messy the path was? it couldn't have been an exact pathway, but going directly ahead was your simplest option.
you heard a pair of footsteps coming from inside the house, probably a few seconds away to opening the door. you sucked in your breath and ran, ran as far as your legs could take you. your intimidating speed and played into your advantage, and taking one last look, you saw the lights on, before continuing.
a few minutes into it, you felt some elemental energy. it was a sense you learned to develop since you were young, giving you the upper hand in a variety of situations. you followed the trail of glowing lines, the air starting to get colder and colder. you shuddered, the crisp coldness nipping at your skin.
you sat below a tree, taking your backpack off your shoulder and took out the oversized sweater. you put it on over your black tee and light blue skinny jeans, its nostalgic aroma filling your sense of smell.
it was... warm.
it shouldn't be warm.
the warmth proved as a sign that someone had worn it before, but this size was from what you knew, too small to fit the woman you came across again, and you absolutely did not recall any other beings within the house. it was a small household.
suddenly, you remembered what she said.
we're thinking of taking you back home. you can finally be of use to us.
plural. you should've noticed it before and you shook your head, slightly disappointed in yourself. you didn't remember any other birth siblings. could it be the fact that during the time, they had, in a way, replaced you?
you sat up, then suddenly went drowsy. your eyelids were getting heavy as your back hit the same tree. ah, that clever bitch. you chuckled to yourself, but still unsatisfied how this was gonna end. reaching inside your pocket, you grabbed a bomb that a little kid gave you, and threw it as far as you could. it wasn't as far as you hoped, but it was exceptionally far considered your sleepy state.
in a few couple seconds or so, it was going to explode. you did that to divert the attention of her and slowly ran as far as you could. a few seconds in, you gave in, hoping that your efforts were enough. 怋ā—āœæ perspective ā— shift āœæā—
chongyun heard an explosion.
he raised his head in the direction smoke was coming from, and made a run for it, then stopping to think. no, you're smarter than this. he gathered his shit together and remembered that one day klee gave you a bomb. he deducted that you had used it as a diversion, and began to search around the area.
and finally, he came across your sleeping body. to ensure your living state, he crouched down and let two fingers travel across your neck, searching for a pulse, and was relieved when he found one, pulsing at a normal rate.
he then carried you on his back, picking up the pace since he deducted someone was out for you, would you need a distraction. he remembered some details of the woman, she had ended your stream with your sleeping form in her hands, a dirty smirk coming across her lips. she had dark hair with some natural highlights, but that was all he saw because the rest was concealed by a cloak.
a few minutes, maybe half an hour later, you began to stir. chongyun decided that he ventured far enough to liyue and slowed down for your comfort. he wanted you to get some well deserved rest. but slowly, you woke up, but only the tiniest movement was made. your eyes were still droopy and you wanted to return to sleep.
but the sight of pastel blue hair kept you from doing so.
you felt the familiar silk coming in contact with your arms as he kept on trudging forward at a more consistent and smooth pace. "..chongyun?" you muttered out weakly, earning a small smile from the male. he hummed in response, continuing forward.
your mind was cloudy, unable to interpret the language of the world. but softly, words effortlessly escaped your lips, "... did i do the right... thing?" blinking multiple times, you awaited his answer.
"yes, yes you did," his soft voice reached your ears, making you smile a bit. you nuzzled deeper into his shoulder, clinging onto him tighter, unwilling to let go.
"thank you," you whispered.
he chuckled a bit before responding, "anything for you."

What art are you most proud of? And please show us a pic if you can! <3
Not gonna lie, this was actually p hard to answer. Iā€™m honestly proud of any piece I get done, especially any full body, full color, full background pieces, and I refuse to let myself out-right hate anything that I draw in general now-a-days, unfinished or no. I draw for fun, always have, so I try not to put too much worry on how good something looks so long as it gets my idea across in a way that I like, or that I tried?? (And ik being proud of a piece doesnt have to tie into what the end result looks like, im just covering that base) I looked through all of my recent digital art on my ipad(that iā€™ve had what, 3-4 years at this point?) and found myself about just as happy with each finished piece-
-Except one. There is one piece that I forget about constantly but Iā€™m honestly super proud of the amount of effort it had put in to reach the end result. It probably sees a number of glances infrequently(due to my sporatic activity on said blog) but isnt posted to this blogā€™s art tag.
Itā€™s the blog banner I drew for my @thelostguardianau fic, of the(at the time) whole cast in the au. You can find the post to reblog it from here but iā€™m also adding it below for reference. (* and honestly Iā€™ll mention every other art piece in this au posted to itā€™s blog stands at having this same proudness, as each individual characters complicated design fed into this big banner, each one having a giant set of uniquely drawn wings, complex body markings, and unique clothing and features. And I would not have been able to complete this banner without having those singular character chart pieces finished first, except for Thomasā€™s design, who has yet to be posted for āœØreasonsāœØ)
Tumblr media
This fricking Banner was and still is(for now, *wink*) the most ambitious piece Iā€™ve managed to finish. It took me so long, my wrist hated me, my ipad hated me, my ipencil hated me, medibang hated me, this piece pushed the limits of the poor app. Every time I try and open this piece up on the app it takes a solid couple seconds to open, save, and close.
From sketching to lining every single character, to having to uniquely match up Their Wing Sizes and Heights, because Guardians are fucking Tall, so Wing size and Height size was hell to calculate and portray. Why, you might ask?
Because I was limited to the proportions that would actually fit into a tumblr mobile banner. Which, funfact, is much smaller than youā€™d think!
I had to make sure theyā€™d all fit, wings and all. And they didnt fcking want to. But I made it fit, because I wanted a full body + wings cast banner and goddamn it that was going to happen. And I did. And I lost a fuck-off amount of detail-space for it.
Coloring it wasnā€™t exactly difficult, but I will once again point back to this app hating this piece and it draining my battery because of it. I work in layers. My lineart will have 5-6 different layers in color before I combine them and set the hue to black, but I still keep my lineart seperate in that each character has their own lineart, and the background lineart is seperate.
I had their lineart, and probably still do, seperated into Seven different layers, one per character, each one w/ an extra masking layer for their wing glow. Each character got their own folder for colors, and had multiple layers for each colored section: clothing, skin, skin blush + eye whites, hair, wings, body markings, marking glow. And then there was the background layers, and the glowing affects, ect. The whole piece stands at having about 80 total layers having been used over the course of making it.
So yeah, Medibang does not like this piece when I try to open it. xD
But really, setting aside fighting and babying technology thats being pushed close to its limit, the real pride comes from the fact that this piece has Seven fully colored, near-full body characters drawn, all touching and interacting and accurate to the scale that I made. It is the most amount of characters in one piece that Iā€™ve ever drawn, colored, and finished, and Iā€™m pretty fricken proud of it.
Which makes it all the more daunting that said banner is going to get an upgrade, because itā€™s a Character Cast Banner after all, and its going to have four more fully designed and full winged characters added into it.
And by upgrade, I mean I get to redraw the whole dang thing. Because I gotta rearrange āœØeveryoneļæ½ļæ½ļæ½sāœØ positions. And at this point, the only way thats possible is by starting over.
wish me luck on that. o_o;
