Timelines + Plot summary of Be My Favourite (spoilers for the whole thing)

A new timeline is counted every time the future is changed, even though after timeline 1 all of the past timelines don't have anything separating them. Each timeline is split as follows:

PAST while Kawi is in University.

INTERIM important events after the past timeline but before the future timeline.

FUTURE when Kawi is 30 years old.

Events the audience knows about are sorted into roughly chronological order regardless of which episode they were revealed in the series. Timeline 0 also has ANTERIOR for events that happened in the past, but before Kawi is in his second year of University.

For example, a reference to future-2 is the future section of timeline 2.

TLDR;

Timeline 0: the original one. Kawi's unreliable recollection means the audience knows slightly more about this timeline than he does.

Timeline 1: first time Kawi uses the time machine.

Timeline 2: Pisaeng kisses Kawi in the future of this timeline.

Timeline 3: Kawi achieved all the goals he thought he wanted and travels back to the future — only to find that his relationships have unraveled, his father is still dead, and it's generally a nightmare.

Timeline 4: After 10ish years of Kawi and Pisaeng being in a relationship, Kawi gets pneumonia and is intubated, so Pisaeng desperately travels back in time.

Timeline 5: a happy ending.

Timeline 0

BOTKAWI / KAWI fails to sing at the freshers event. He is dismissive of Pisaeng when Pisaeng tries to befriend him, but is on good terms with Max. He develops a crush on Pear after she is nice to him during 1st year. He loses his relationship with Max for an unknown reason, but one that is Kawi's fault.

PISAENG comes out to his mother as gay aged 15. Whether his father or Pear know is unknown. At university freshers Kawi catches his eye, but Kawi is uninterested in getting to know Pisaeng.

PEAR'S MOTHER leaves her family to become a visual artist, and is estranged from them because of this.

PONGSATHORN, PEAR'S FATHER is resentful of Pear's mother for abandoning him and Pear

THREEDAO, PISAENG'S MOTHER manipulates Pisaeng into staying closeted, and has her staff surveil him.

PISAENG'S FATHER is a foreigner and presumably why Pisaeng has a dual nationality in a country that allowed same sex marriage (as of 2015). He is not present in either Threedao or Pisaeng's lives after he and Threedao got divorced.

PAST

KAWI has a crush on Pear as he remembers her as being the only one who was nice to him in 1st year, and considers her the closest he has to a friend. He buys Pear drinks and leaves her nice notes as her Secret Santa, but fails to give Pear a gift on the day of the gift exchange. Kawi thinks that she and Pisaeng must have started dating after Pisaeng claims to be her Secret Santa.

PISAENG tells Kawi that he is Kawi's secret Santa in a way that makes him immediately failing to be normal about it in the ensuing timelines where Kawi deigns to befriend him less of a surprise. Kawi doesn't take him up on his proposed gift of having dinner together, so the two never become close.

PRAEMAI / PEAR is friendly towards Kawi the way she's friendly towards everyone, and has a crush on Pisaeng, but suspects heavily that he does not like her back. Whether she knows Pisaeng is queer is unknown, but it is unlikely.

MAX quits school to study abroad because he's tired of living in a queerphobic society.

NOT is friends with benefits with Kwan, but this is a secret.

THAWI, KAWI'S FATHER dies after downplaying his illness to Kawi.

KWAN is friends with benefits with Not, and at Not's request keeps this a secret even from Pear.

THREEDAO has political aspirations and is amassing a sizable following because of her progressive public image.

INTERIM

N/A

FUTURE

KAWI works as a subtitler and has been on a downward spiral since his father and only motivation to try in life died, and at present thinks of himself a a broke, friendless, loser. He is invited to Pear and Pisaeng's wedding and does not plan to attend. He is invited to Pisaeng and Pear's pre wedding party but doesn't drink any alcohol. He still has a grudge against Pisaeng for "stealing" Pear from him. He still has the broken music box he was planning to give Pear 10 years ago, and has it repaired by the MYSTERIOUS MAGIC UNCLE/ MMU

PISAENG and PEAR are getting married. How happy they are is unknown, but neither of them are at their hen night/stag do/pre wedding party, which is strange. Whether Pear knows Pisaeng is queer is unknown, but it is likely that she does.

MAX lives abroad and is unhappy for an unspecified reason.

NOT is famous but is generally distant from his peers. Whether he is still friends with benefits with Kwan is unknown.

KWAN seems to be doing alright. Whether she is still friends with benefits with Not is unknown.

THREEDAO: ?

Timeline 1

PAST

KAWI thinks it's a dream and acts appropriately unhinged. He spends time with his father (much to his father's confusion) and becomes properly acquainted with Pisaeng while trying to enlist Pisaeng on his wooing Pear mission by following Pisaeng around. While at Pisaeng's DJ job, Kawi tries alcohol for the first time and gets completely wasted. Kawi expresses jealousy over Pisaeng's seemingly perfect life, and is dismissive when Pisaeng says all that glitters is not gold. Kawi asks if Pisaeng has a thing for him since Pisaeng is going out of his way to help him home.

PISAENG is confused by Kawi's apparent personality change but is happy to make a new friend, with his crush at that. He steps in as Pear's secret Santa when Kawi didn't show up (as Kawi was visiting his father at the time.) Pisaeng flirts a bit with Kawi, but in a plausibly deniable way. He is charmed by Kawi's antics, but frowns when Kawi is jealous of his life. Pisaeng helps a drunk Kawi get home and truthfully says that he has a crush on Kawi, but passes it off as sarcasm.

PEAR has a crush on Pisaeng, but suspects heavily that he does not like her back.

MAX is considering quitting school to study abroad.

NOT is friends with benefits with Kwan, but wants to date Pear.

THAWI is confused that Kawi is suddenly interested in spending time with him, but dies after downplaying his illness to Kawi.

KWAN is friends with benefits with Not, and at Not's request keeps this a secret even from Pear.

THREEDAO has political aspirations and is amassing a sizable following because of her progressive public image, even as she encourages Pisaeng to stay closeted.

INTERIM

KAWI gets wasted at Pisaeng and Pear's pre wedding party, and is a heavy drinker in general.

FUTURE

KAWI is Pisaeng's best man. He is surprised and annoyed by this.

PISAENG and PEAR have remained close friends with Kawi and are still getting married. How happy they are and whether Pear knows Pisaeng is queer are both unknown. Pisaeng attributes Kawi's confusion at being in the wedding party to Kawi's drinking habit.

MAX is unhappy for an unspecified reason.

NOT is famous but generally distant from his peers. Whether he is still friends with benefits with Kwan is unknown.

KWAN seems to be doing alright. Whether she is still friends with benefits with Not is unknown.

THREEDAO: ?

Timeline 2

PAST

KAWI tries to convince his father to go to doctor's appointments. He tries to repair his relationship with Max, but doesn't get far. He does not notice how it's a little odd that Pisaeng is so invested in helping him woo Pear when they've known each other properly for 2 days, but accepts Pisaeng's help because he doesn't want Pisaeng and Pear to get married in the future. He goes out for a meal with Pisaeng after Pear and Kwan go home because he didn't feel comfortable eating non daintily in front of Pear.

PISAENG doesn't want to give Pear false hope so he helps Kawi to choose and pay for a gift upon finding out about Kawi's crush on Pear, and Kawi's accepting that he and Pisaeng are friends now. He assures Kawi that he has no romantic feelings for Pear. He feels upset when he sees Pear and Kawi's sort of date going well, but he wants them both to be happy so he leaves them to it. He drinks with Not & co, but remembers why he doesn't associate with these people. He tells Not to stay away from Pear and goes out for a meal with Kawi after Pear and Kwan go home, and enjoys that Kawi is comfortable enough to eat not-daintily. He wins a plushie from a claw machine that Kawi was interested in, and plans to give it to Kawi.

PEAR has a crush on Pisaeng and is happy to see him have a new friend, but less happy that Pisaeng is trying to set her up with said friend. She invites Kwan over to try and quash the date vibes of her meal with Kawi.

MAX tells Kawi to fuck off.

NOT is generally an ass, which is why Pisaeng doesn't hang out with him anymore. He has a friends with benefits relationship with Kwan, but keeps this a secret because he likes Pear. He invested in Pisaeng and Pear's relationship because he wants the go ahead to pursue Pear.

THAWI dies after downplaying his illness to Kawi.

KWAN is friends with benefits with Not, but at his request keeps this secret from even Pear.

THREEDAO has political aspirations and is amassing a sizable following because of her progressive public image, even as she encourages Pisaeng to stay closeted.

INTERIM

N/A

FUTURE

KAWI is Pisaeng's best man and best friend. He is alarmed at Pisaeng kissing him and wants everything to go back to how it was. He's told by the MMU that he can only move forward, and also that the time machine has limited uses.

PISAENG leaves Pear at the altar to drunkenly come to Kawi's place, kiss him, and tells him he's in love with him. He asks aggressively if Kawi had ever felt the same way, and his whereabouts after Kawi rejects him are unkown.

PEAR is left at the altar. This is a surprise, and devastating.

MAX: is unhappy for an unspecified reason.

NOT is famous but generally distant from his peers. Whether he is still friends with benefits with Kwan is unknown.

KWAN correctly guesses that Kawi has something to do with Pear's current heartbreak. Whether she is still friends with benefits with Not is unknown.

Timeline 3

PAST

BEFORE PISAENG'S CONFESSION

KAWI starts keeping a journal of all the stuff that's happened because of time travel and sets 4 clear goals: make up with Max, get medical treatment for his father, woo Pear, and avoid Pisaeng. Keeping this journal gets him back into writing, which he had previously neglected. Kawi finds out from the MMU that he can't find winning lotto tickets, i.e. some things are out of his control and also that the time machine has a limited amount of juice. The MMU laments the state of education these days and tells Kawi that the time machine only grants him the chance to solve self inflicted problem. Kawi resolves not to go back to the future until all of the missions are completed.

KAWI initially avoids Pisaeng because of future-2 Pisaeng's actions. He tries to push Pisaeng and Not together by inviting then both out to drink and fails, accidentally letting slip that he feels uncomfortable around Pisaeng. However, Kawi gets onto good terms with Not himself. He also gets back onto good terms with Max and is able to convince his father to go to the doctor.

KAWI gets hazed and goaded into confessing to Pear at camp. His insecurities mean he still hangs out with Not and the seniors that recorded him being rejected, unbeknownst to him. He fights with Pisaeng and Pisaeng almost kisses him (consensually), but Kawi stops Pisaeng and tells Pisaeng to be honest with Pear and with himself before Pisaeng hurts anyone else.

KAWI applies for the student rep so that he can "get on Pear's level," presuming that one big change could turn his life around. He adds it to his list of missions. It's through trying to come up with a talent for his application that he gets back into singing and songwriting.

KAWI is made to realise by Max that future-2 Pisaeng's actions are not past-3 Pisaeng's actions. He apologises to Pisaeng and encourages Pisaeng to confess to him. He gently turns Pisaeng down, but they become closer after this.

PISAENG is charmed by Kawi and hurt over Kawi's sudden distance from him. He is so upset he doesn't speak to Kawi for several days upon learning that Kawi was trying to offload him onto Not, assuming that it was his queerness that made Kawi feel unsafe around him. He throws the plushie at Kawi angrily when Kawi pays him back for Pear's gift, as he perceived this as Kawi's saying that they don't *need* to hang out anymore.

PISAENG does not go to camp on the bus with everyone else, instead driving himself and arriving in the evening. He is jealous that Kawi has been hanging out with Not & co at camp, and cuts the call Not is using to record Kawi and Pear's conversation. He's angry when Kawi gives up on Pear after being rejected by her and dances with a girl in a club. He ends up straddling Kawi when they fight over this and leans in to kiss Kawi as if in a trance. He is alarmed at how much he likes Kawi, even if he can't say it aloud yet, and gains the courage to reject Pear after knowing she's had a crush on him for a long time. He agrees to help Kawi woo Pear.

PISAENG sees two men kiss at his DJ job and goes to a gay bar to figure himself out, but leaves without entering. Pisaeng suggests Kawi should sing as his talent in the student rep interview like he did when they met in 1st year, but Kawi is dismissive as he thinks Pisaeng is too privileged to understand the feeling of pressure.

PISAENG goes back and actually enters the gay bar, but runs away after being noticed by Max. He asks Max not to tell anyone (because he is afraid of his mother) and is told to get over himself (because Max assumes he's internally homophobic). Max's advice gives him the courage to confess to Kawi but also to embrace a queer identity even when he is rejected by Kawi.

PEAR is happy about Pisaeng's and Kawi's friendship. As sociable as she is, the only one she confides in are Pisaeng and to a lesser extent, Kwan, and she knows Pisaeng was just as lonely. She invites Pisaeng to dinner with her dad, and is rejected. She rejects Kawi and is rejected by Pisaeng at the camp, but her relationships with both of them are stronger for it. She's upset about being rejected by Pisaeng, but already suspected that he didn't like her back.

MAX gives advice to Kawi about Kawi's crush on Pear and Pisaeng's crush on Kawi for his own entertainment. It's still good advice. After meeting Pisaeng again in the queer bar, he tells Pisaeng to confide in him if there's ever a need.

NOT is supportive of Kawi and Pear getting together as considers Kawi a friend, as much as he likes to humiliate Kawi (and was surprised that Kawi likes girls). He undergoes some character development after being roasted by Pear at the Camp, and by Kwan in general. He seeks Pear's approval of his book and in the long term a romantic relationship with her after she rejects Kawi. Pear hasn't read his book, but Kwan has. He wishes Kawi good luck at the student rep interview after being encouraged by Kwan. Not is in a friends with benefits relationship with Kwan, but keeps this secret as he wants Pear.

THAWI has a closer relationship to Kawi because of Kawi's regular check ins, and is persuaded to go to the doctor more often.

KWAN disapproves of Not hazing Kawi and recording Kawi's confession to Pear, but is persuaded not to tell Pear. Later, she asks Not to sign her copy of his book because she thinks everyone needs a bit of encouragement. She and Not have been friends with benefits for an unspecified amount of time. She wants to date him seriously, but they are not exclusive.

PAST

AFTER PISAENG'S CONFESSION

KAWI wants to become student representative but is recruited by a senior, Fluke, to be the lead singer in his band. He focuses on Pisaeng while singing with the band and the montage implies that he's thinking about the time they've spent together. Kawi confides in Pisaeng about his father's health issues and his mother's estrangement. Kawi borrows Pisaeng's nice shirt for a dinner with Pear's father to ask for help, and marvels at Pisaeng's appartment. At the dinner he finds out Pisaeng already took the initiative, and leaves the dinner in a huff to argue with Pisaeng.

KAWI is defensive when Max asks him about what exactly he feels for Pisaeng in the queer bar while he and Max discus Kawi's argument with Pisaeng. On the bus ride home, Kawi thinks about a dinner where his father's friends talked of their children's high earning jobs, which Kawi's humanities degree is unlikely to net him, and how he accused his father of seeing him as a burden. Kawi calls his father to apologise about projecting his insecurities onto his father, and immediately after goes to Pisaeng to apologise about the same thing. He tries to tell Pisaeng about something important but passes out drunk into Pisaeng's arms. In Pisaeng's house he impulsively kisses Pisaeng when Pisaeng responds to his self deprecation with "I like you. You're cute." However, he falls asleep almost immediately afterward. At Pisaeng's request he puts this out of his mind to focus on his father's healthcare, apologising to Pear also.

KAWI talks to his father before the surgery and refutes his father's claim of being a failure of a father, telling the father that he's proud to be his son. He asks Pisaeng to stay with him during his father's emergency surgery as Pear isn't there and Max has to be at work. Upon hearing that the surgery was successful, he goes to sing with Fluke's band, and feels content enough with the state of his life to go back to the future.

PISAENG accompanies Kawi to the recording session with the band, and the montage (only visible to the IRL audience) implies that he's thinking about the time they've spent together. When Kawi borrows a shirt for a dinner with Pear's father he ""jokes"" about how he'd let Kawi move in if they started dating, truthfully saying that he'll wait since Kawi still likes Pear. He is unhappy that Max is fooled by his mother's progressive public image because he knows full well how she treats her queer son, but doesn't tell Max this.

PISAENG is confused at why Kawi suddenly feels the need to express gratitude and apologise to him, but gruffly accepts and tells Kawi not to worry about trying to pay him back. He softens when Kawi passes out, and takes Kawi to his house. He straightforwardly replies that he likes Kawi and he finds him cute when Kawi asks why Pisaeng goes out of his way as Pisaeng is helping Kawi wear some pajamas, and is shocked when Kawi impulsively kisses him. He is ready to do more than kiss upon acertaining that it wasn't some kind of accident, but stops upon realising that Kawi has fallen asleep. His mother comes home unexpectedly, and he hugs her begrudgingly.

PISAENG is confronted by his mother over going to a queer bar, but responds that he won't be manipulated into staying in the closet for her convenience like he was as a teenager, even if they do live in a queerphobic society. He hears Kawi sleep mumbling about the music box being a time machine and is shocked, but decides not to follow up on this or the kiss the next morning as he thinks Kawi has enough on his plate. At breakfast he replies with conversation enders to his mother's questions + those she directs at Kawi.

PISAENG stays with Kawi while Kawi's father is in emergency surgery, sending a text to Pear informing her of this. He smiles sadly when Kawi immediately lights up and kind of forgets about him when Pear arrives after the surgery is over.

PEAR is upset and confused when Kawi suddenly leaves dinner but helps convince Pongsathorn to take Kawi's father on as a patient anyway. Immediately after the failed dinner she goes to drink at a bar frequented by her friends, hoping to run into one of them. She runs into Not but thinks friend is a strong word for her relationship to him. She declines to go "somewhere nice" with Not and denies being in a relationship with Kawi. Still, she finds Not's theorising about Kawi's sexuality distasteful, and tells Not this. She doesn't immediately go to the hospital when she hears about Kawi's emergency surgery, reasoning that she wouldn't be of any help. When she does go, she assures Kawi that he won't have to worry anymore.

MAX hangs out with Pisaeng while Kawi has dinner with Pear's father. He expresses admiration of Threedao and her public stances on queer rights and such. He figures out that Pisaeng is the one crushing on Kawi after seeing them argue about Kawi's father. He takes Kawi to the queer bar to hash it out, and expresses concern over how heavily Kawi drinks nowadays, his treatment of Pisaeng, and Kawi's constant refusal of help. He asks Kawi how exactly he feels about Pisaeng.

NOT meets Pear at a bar and implies that he and Pear should date since Pisaeng doesn't like her back and Kawi is probably gay in his estimation. He is somewhat shaken when Pear asks if he thinks Kawi isn't straight because he isn't prickish like him.

THAWI is happy to hear that Kawi has started singing again and has made some new friends. He is confused as to why Kawi wants him to bring forward his surgery and doesn't want to burden Kawi with the bill, but begrudgingly obliges after Kawi insists. He undergoes heart surgery but unfortunately dies from surgery complications, unbeknownst to Kawi. Before the surgery he apologises to Kawi for failing him, and says he'd do more to make Kawi proud if he could go back in time. When Kawi says that he *is* proud, he makes Kawi promise to be happy and not become a shell of himself even if the surgery doesn't go well.

KWAN and NOT have been friends with benefits for an unspecified amount of time. She wants to date him seriously, but they are not exclusive.

THREEDAO tells Pisaeng her staff saw him at a queer bar and mentions how he should talk to (i.e. clear it with) her before he does anything not straight. She scoffs at the idea of being homophobic when she has many queer staff and even accepts (sort of) her queer son. She questions Kawi when she sees him at breakfast and even though her probing questions are shot down by Pisaeng she figures out Pisaeng is in love with Kawi because Pisaeng has no other friends, and certainly not ones he would lend his clothes or bed to.

INTERIM

KAWI notes that Pisaeng is very patient when Pisaeng is still in love with him after the better part of a decade. He becomes a successful solo artist after Fluke's band broke up following moderate success. He never married Pear despite her wanting a marriage and kids badly, which strains their relationship. What causes them to break up finally is Kawi's pursuit of a music career + the emotional affair he has with Pisaeng for the entirety of his relationship with Pear. Oftentimes Kawi kisses Pisaeng while drunk, and Kawi is drunk often.

KAWI is questioned by interviewers over whether his relationship to Pisaeng was a catalyst for his and Pear's breakup, and whether his relationship to Pisaeng is romantic. He denies this, and even though he tells Pisaeng himself that it isn't Pisaeng's fault, he tells Pisaeng to keep more distance from him in public so that he won't have to answer such questions. He receives an invitation to Pear's wedding to Not and rips it.

PISAENG observes the anniversary of his confession to Kawi for at least 8 years, and his feelings toward Kawi don't waver in that time, even up to the time that time travelling Kawi encounters him. On one of these anniversaries he gives Kawi a guitar pick. He cuts off contact with everyone including his mother and Kawi shortly after Kawi and Pear break up. He feels he is at fault for the breakup and also feels a little strung along. He is stung by the accusation (from Kawi) that he might have been spilling information about Kawi, but also that Kawi is so rankled by the idea of him and Pisaeng being seen as more than friends even if it is just by nosy bloggers. He still keeps tabs on Kawi though.

PEAR breaks up with Kawi after years of a strained relationship and feeling strung along. She is also on bad terms with Pisaeng because of his relationship with Kawi. She gets pregnant by Not and decides to marry him because she wants a family of her own.

FUTURE

KAWI is giddy to be up on stage as a singer and thinks he's living the perfect life, but future-3 starts to lose its shine as he begins to remember interim-3 Kawi's memories. Upon remembering that it is Pear's wedding day Kawi drives there while still tipsy. He tells Pear he's happy if she's happy and makes to leave, but runs into Kwan. After finding out how Not treated both her and Pear, Kawi punches Not and gets kicked out of the hall. He asks Pear why she would settle for Not but isn't really satisfied with her answer.

KAWI asks Max for Pisaeng's contact information and goes to find him. He is relieved to find out that Pisaeng isn't angry with him, and is comforted by Pisaeng when he starts crying about how much of a mess future-3 is. Kawi asks Pisaeng if he's really sick in the head as Max thinks. Satisfied with Pisaeng's answer, Kawi wants to get in the water but only up to his knees, and Pisaeng insists they splash around properly. After they dry off, Kawi asks how long Pisaeng will stay out on the middle of nowhere, and drinks though a week or two supply of Pisaeng's beer while playing guitar under the stars. He thanks Pisaeng for everything, and Pisaeng thanks him back, but for what—Pisaeng won't say.

KAWI asks Pisaeng to sing him a song with the guitar, and impulsively kisses Pisaeng. He is confused when Pisaeng pulls back and asks when Kawi will stop doing this. He is devastated when Pisaeng tells him not to follow and indeed disappears. Kawi goes back to working as a singer and receives a postcard from Pisaeng about how they'll never see each other again, and he resolves to go back to the past.

PISAENG lives in a camper van next to a beach. He tells Kawi that if he really wanted he wouldn't have been so easy to find, and pats Kawi's shoulder when Kawi cries, but does not hug him. Pisaeng hesitates and says he doesn't know when asked if Kawi is sick, but then says that everyone is sick nowadays, whether a little or a lot. He and Kawi splash around and he admits to being a fan of Kawi and buying his magazine covers as Kawi dries off. He thanks Kawi for helping him with something very important, likely with being comfortable identifying as a queer man, but won't say what exactly.

PISAENG sings a love song for Kawi but pulls away when Kawi impulsively kisses him, and tells Kawi not to follow him, lest he disappear from Kawi's life entirely. He thinks about the period just after Kawi and Pear's breakup while he sobs alone on the beach. He is gone by the next morning, leaving Kawi, his camper van, and everything else behind. Some time after, he sends Kawi a postcard saying that he's fine, sorry for disappearing, and that he still cares about Kawi and Kawi's work, but he won't be in contact with Kawi ever again.

PEAR is marrying Not. When Kawi is dragged out of the hall for punching Not she goes to talk to him alone. When asked by Kawi why she would settle for Not, she says that at some point everyone is forced to settle under the weight of their past mistakes.

MAX is Kawi's manager/personal assistant and only friend. He has grown tired of wrangling interim-3 Kawi and thinks time travelling Kawi's appearance might be him turning over a new leaf, but Kawi immediately falls into interim-3 Kawi's patterns. Max tells Kawi frankly as Kawi goes to drive tipsy to Pear's wedding that Not may be an ass but Pear is happier than she was with Kawi. Later, Max clears Kawi's work schedule so that he has time to go to therapy. He is reluctant to give Kawi Pisaeng's contact info because of how much Kawi has made Pisaeng suffer, but doesn't feel the need to elaborate on what he means by this. Max is not present when Kawi returns from seeing Pisaeng.

NOT is marrying Pear. He has promised Pear to stop seeing Kwan, but whether he actually does so is unknown. He gets punched by Kawi at his wedding.

KWAN sits outside Pear's wedding party and regrets attending. She tells Kawi that Not was with her and Pear at the same time — although her relationship to Not couldn't be described as dating if Not kept her a secret — even if she loved him.

THREEDAO is not in contact with Pisaeng. Whether she has a political career is unknown.

Timeline 4

PAST

BEFORE PISAENG ACTIVATES THE TIME MACHINE

KAWI hugs Pisaeng while sobbing immediately upon returning to the past, overcome with relief that he has a chance to fix their relationship. He attends his father's funeral and gives Pisaeng his journal detailing all the time travel while he packs up his father's life. Kawi tells Pisaeng about being from the future and changing the timeline, asking Pisaeng to understand that if the relationship between him and Kawi is bad then everything spirals. This is (one) reason why Kawi has resolved not to hurt Pisaeng anymore. He asks Pisaeng to trust him and do what he asks so that he can set everything right. He struggles to tell Pisaeng that he's trying to date him while they discuss the journal on the roof.

KAWI attends a pride rally with Max since Pear is busy, and asks Max if it's worth fighting. Max's response and speech prompts Kawi to ask Pisaeng to come to the rally. Kawi's shitty phone dies while he implores Pisaeng to not go abroad with Threedao, but before Kawi has a chance to say he likes Pisaeng back (although he would rather have confessed in person anyway). He is relieved that Pisaeng was only seeing his mother off, but still struggles to spit out what he's feeling until Pisaeng motions to leave again. Kawi says that losing Pisaeng was the greatest mistake of his life, and that he can't let it happen again so can Pisaeng go out with him and set everything right?

KAWI goes with on a date with Pisaeng to a sushi restaurant, and tells Pisaeng that he's quitting alcohol. He is confused when Pisaeng doesn't think that finishing eating is cue for the end of the date. After singing with Fluke's band he calls a taxi to take him and Pisaeng home. He finds a thoroughly drunk Pisaeng endearing and allows Pisaeng to lean on him, but denies Pisaeng's request for a kiss because they're waiting for the taxi in public. The next morning he is surprised that he's whipped enough to do stuff like stare at Pisaeng's sleeping face, but it's indignant at the idea of doing ~something~ to Pisaeng while Pisaeng was drunk, and squirms when Pisaeng cuddles him. Kawi refuses Pisaeng's offers to buy him stuff, because he wants their relationship to be on more equal footing.

KAWI finds out everyone at school knows about him and Pisaeng, and feels guilty for starting to date Pisaeng without breaking off his talking stage with Pear. He goes to talk to her in person only to find that she's at Pisaeng's, and Pisaeng has already told her. He does not hold this against Pisaeng. He expresses concern that chasing his own happiness by being with Pisaeng might be harming other people, like in future-3. He explains to Pisaeng that he is still strongly averse to the idea of breaking up with Pisaeng regardless of the issues he'll have to face, and tears up when Pisaeng responds by saying that he believes there's nothing more right than the two of them being together.

KAWI's guilt around Pear is assuaged by Pear but he feels a little guilty for not telling Max. Kawi asks Max if it's possible to have a romantic relationship without having sex and is uneasy when Max scoffs and says that sex deepens a relationship and even helps you know yourself better. Kawi is worried when Pisaeng comes round asking spend the night, but suspicious when Pisaeng is jovial despite just having fought with his mother, as Kawi doesn't want to get between Pisaeng and Threedao. Kawi is flustered when Pisaeng responds to his concern with flirting. Kawi calls Threedao to tell her that he's going to do right by Pisaeng and is surprised that she agrees. He is a bit irritated at Pisaeng's deception but reasons that he must have still been feeling vulnerable.

PISAENG assumes Kawi is hugging him and sobbing because of Kawi's father's death. He attends Kawi's father's funeral, and is confused by the stuff in Kawi's journal. He doesn't believe that time travel is real but just decides to go with it since a bunch of weird stuff *has* happened in his life recently + Kawi knows information only Pisaeng knows. He is uneasy about the idea of everything revolving around his and Kawi's relationship, and reasons that Kawi would be better off without him getting in the middle of Kawi's relationship to Pear. He sees his mother off to the airport and has a confusing phone call with Kawi, deciding to just ask Kawi in person, and unknowingly refusing help from the MMU on the way to do so. Pisaeng is shocked when Kawi says he likes Pisaeng back, but says no to Kawi asking him out because he hasn't toasted Kawi yet. Kawi is not amused.

PISAENG goes on a date with Kawi to a sushi restaurant and is a smidge glad that Pear wasn't able to have dinner with Kawi. He talks to Kawi about Pear's mother, but reasons that Pear may have forgiven her mother now. He is upset when Kawi decides to play with Fluke's band on short notice rather than staying with him, but steps in to drink the alcohol offered to Kawi and other band members anyway. He steals a cheek kiss while he and Kawi wait for a taxi, saying that he's done enough hitting on Kawi and they should just date properly. The next morning he teases Kawi about staring and tries to kiss Kawi, but settles for cuddling.

PISAENG wears Kawi's uniform shirt to school and is touched by Kawi's insistence that they should be less give and take and more communicate. Afterwards he talks with Pear about her mother, and also tells her that he and Kawi are together after she presses him. Pisaeng is sigh-y after realising that when Kawi wanted to "set everything right, it didn't just mean dating him. Pisaeng asks if Kawi wants to keep dating him since there have already been so many problems in the 1st 30ish hours of their relationship. When Kawi is strongly against a breakup, Pisaeng tells Kawi that he'd like to have hope for the future not just of his relationship to Kawi, but for everyone else they know.

PISAENG clears things up with Pear. Later, he talks to his mother again, once again refusing the idea of moving abroad explicitly because he wants to stay with Kawi. He starts to tear up when his mother is dismissive, asking her why she just doesn't accept him. He tells her that the only thing she's protecting him from is happiness. Pisaeng is surprised when his mother is like "actually you're right" but he hugs her back. Pisaeng goes to Kawi's house and fills him in on the fight, but leaves out that it was mostly resolved. He is surprised that Kawi is so flustered by Pisaeng kissing his palm, but finds it endearing. Pisaeng is sheepish but unapologetic abut lying by omission, and confused when Kawi continues to rebuff any flirting.

PEAR wins the student rep position but seems unsatisfied. She invites Kawi to dinner, where she hopes that she and Kawi will begin dating. PONGSATHORN reminds her that her mother's art exhibition is at the time of her scheduled dinner, and she promised to go. At the exhibition, Pear is disgusted with her mother for thanking her the sacrifice Pear and Pear's father had to make so that Pear's mother could be an artist, since she wasn't given a choice in the matter. PONGSATHORN wonders if his resentment for Pear's mother for abandoning the family for her career had rubbed off too much on Pear, but Pear thinks she has enough of her own reasons to feel somehow about her mother.

PEAR doesn't go to school the day after her mother's exhibition. She asks Pisaeng if she was wrong to admonish her mother and Pisaeng days she had the right, but should probably have avoided the exhibition since she feels that way. When Pisaeng tells her she can be honest about her feelings she reveals that really she wanted to ask if the Not-propagated rumour about him and Kawi is true, and leaves upset when she finds out that it is. After cooling off for a short while she asks Not to meet her, and tells him to stop outing about Pisaeng and Kawi, and also to stop trying to ask her out.

PEAR tells Pongsathorn she's exhausted from having to be the bigger person all the time. He tells her that building onto anger only makes you feel better in the short term. He also tells her that building onto a fixed vision of a perfect future might also be a hindrance to her happiness. Pear tells Pisaeng and Kawi that they didn't do anything wrong or intentionally try to hurt her, and she's happy for them.

MAX speaks at a pride rally, and is surprised that Kawi attends since he assumed Kawi would be asking Pear out at that time. When Kawi asks if is worth fighting for change when fighting is so hard, Max replies that nothing comes easy, and fighting is better than giving up. He thanks Kawi for making hims realise he wanted to stay in Thailand and keep fighting. Max tells Kawi that it was obvious something between Kawi and Pisaeng but makes sure to guilt trip Kawi first. Max tells Kawi sincerely that he is happy Kawi opened himself up to experience love. He gives Kawi advice about being apprehensive about the idea of having sex with Pisaeng, essentially telling Kawi to just go for it.

NOT sees Pisaeng at the bar where Fluke's band is playing, and cocks an eyebrow upon learning that Pisaeng is here to support Kawi. When he is out for a smoke he sees Pisaeng kiss Kawi's cheek and immediately calls Pear to tell her that he was right about Kawi not being straight. At school he outs Kawi and Pisaeng to everyone, and is backed up by one of his & co mentioning Pisaeng being spotted in a gay bar. Not goes to meet Pear after she texts him, and is dismissive of Kwan not wanting him to date her friend even if Kwan x Not is meant to be no strings attached. Not is angry when Pear simply tells him to stop gossiping about her friends and shoots down the idea of dating him, and furious to find out she thinks of him as Kwan's sloppy seconds. He pushes Kwan over while confronting her and this is frowned upon by even his & co.

KWAN admonishes Not for outing Pisaeng and Kawi and even taking about them to Pear, especially since Not doesn't have proof. She asks Not if he could grow to like her romantically or at the very least not dump her for Pear, and cries when he says no to both. When Not confronts her over telling Pear about the friends with benefits situation she tells him that he's the only one that finds it cool to act like a prick all the time.

THREEDAO floats the idea of Pisaeng moving abroad after graduation where he will have the same civil rights as "normal" people since he has no more interest in being closeted. When he refuses she guesses that he doesn't want to leave Kawi, and tells Pisaeng not to throw his future away when there's plenty of fish in the sea. When Threedao and Pisaeng talk again she is still dismissive, but adamant that she does accept her son—she's just trying to protect him. When Pisaeng tearfully brushes this off as trying to get rid of him she concedes that she may have been too controlling, and she's going to support him in his happiness now. Threedao is surprised to get a call from Kawi on this subject, and tells Kawi he's gullible.

PAST

AFTER PISAENG ACTIVATES THE TIME MACHINE (AND NOTHING HAPPENS)

KAWI is nervous + apprehensive about the idea of having sex with Pisaeng and often shies away from Pisaeng's physical affection in general. When Pisaeng gets on top of him after sleeping over he is so flustered he pushes Pisaeng off and goes to buy breakfast, and insists they spend the day sunsets less intimate than his room. At the amusement park Kawi is only interested in eating and declines going on a roller coaster, being huffy during the dinosaur ride Pisaeng picks as an alternative and also declining to ride in Pisaeng's car with the roof down. However, after they leave the amusement and go to a fancy restaurant for dinner he assures Pisaeng that he did actually enjoy the date and Pisaeng's constant flirting.

KAWI and Pisaeng have sex for the first time. The next morning in bed, he holds Pisaeng's hand and smiles. Kawi moves in with Pisaeng after graduation. While packing he reflects on how at the time he totally misinterpreted his conversation with the MMU about how the time machine only gave him the opportunity to fix self inflicted problems, in terms of what he needed to fix. He is still confused about why Pisaeng likes him but this gift horse has great teeth.

PISAENG insists that he and Kawi use polite particles with each other because it's cute. He is confused that Kawi continually rebuffs his affection and is even flustered at the idea of seeing him naked. He is disappointed when Kawi suggests going to an amusement park instead of staying in after he attempts to kiss Kawi in bed, especially so when Kawi just wants to eat. He convinces Kawi to go on a much tamer ride than the roller coaster and sneaks a photo of Kawi, joking about making others jealous. When Kawi deletes the photo Pisaeng just takes more. At the restaurant Pisaeng asks Kawi how he can do better in the future, to which Kawi responds that he's already doing great.

PISAENG and Kawi have sex for the first time. When they wake up in bed the next morning he tentatively strokes Kawi's hand and smiles when Kawi holds his hand properly. Pisaeng moves in with Kawi after graduation and assures Kawi that his mother is cool with them living together, and also that even if the world is full of cute people, Kawi is the only one he wants.

PEAR goes to her mother's exhibition on its last day, and gives her mother a mother's day card she made for school as a child. Pear is still angry about her mother not being around, but has decided to start moving on + being happy for the mother. Pear's mother cries and thanks Pear. Pear reads from Khop Fa Khlip Thong, the collected poems by Uchanee as part of the exhibition, which is intercut with Pisaeng and Kawi's first time. Pear's mother looks extremely proud as the audience applauds Pear's reading.

NOT graduates, and is inexplicably not on hostile terms with the other named characters at graduation. He becomes a successful author.

MAX beams while looking at the large number of stickers (representing people showing support) on a wall at the pride rally for marriage equality, gender recognition, free pads + tampons, and legalising sex work.

KWAN deletes pictures she has with Not and decides to move on from him.

THREEDAO and PONGSATHORN talk about their children Pisaeng and Pear. Pongsathorn jokingly remarks that Threedao is usually too busy to see him. Threedao expresses admiration for Phongsathorn's unconditional support of his daughter and regret about hurting her son under the guise of protecting him. Pongsathorn says that everyone's doing their best, and that parents have to trust + grow alongside their children.

INTERIM

KAWI shares a blissful decade with Pisaeng, but cannot legally get married. Kawi still has the time machine with him, but is never tempted to use it. He works on soundtracks and still occasionally plays with Fluke's band, but declined any offers from record companies, wary of fame + the kind of job that cuts into his Pisaeng time after timeline 3. His life is simple and he is generally content. He dismisses the idea that openly being in a relationship with Pisaeng is holding him back from anything.

KAWI contracts the flu while taking care of a sick Pisaeng, and develops pneumonia so serious he has to be intubated.

PISAENG shares a blissful decade with Kawi, but cannot legally get married. He moves Kawi into the house (in Thailand) his mother gave him as a graduation gift. His job is unspecified, but he seems to be the breadwinner. He is very concerned when Kawi turns down an offer from a record label in favour of continuing a mundane job as a songwriter. He offers to keep his relationship with Kawi secret if that is what is holding Kawi back.

During a serious case of the flu he jokes about Kawi finding someone better if he dies, but then says seriously that he wants to grow old with Kawi. When Kawi is hospitalised the is not allowed to see Kawi or make medical decisions for him as they are not married and Kawi has no other family. When Kawi's condition worsens and he is intubated, Pisaeng activates the time machine in desperation.

PEAR is getting married to an unseen but presumably nice man names James and is good friends with Pisaeng, Kawi, Kwan, and Max. She comforts Pisaeng when Kawi is in the hospital and Pisaeng is blaming himself.

MAX seems to be doing alright. He remains good friends with Pear, Pisaeng, Kawi, and Kwan. He urges Pisaeng to remember to take care of himself when Kawi is in the hospital.

KWAN seems to be doing alright. She remains good friends with Pear, Pisaeng, Kawi, and Max.

THREEDAO is apparently accepting of Pisaeng and Kawi's relationship.

FUTURE

N/A

Timeline 5 (current)

PAST

AFTER PISAENG ACTIVATES THE TIME MACHINE AND IT WORKS

KAWI notices that Pisaeng is off after seeing Pisaeng pick up the time machine. Pisaeng being spacey, knowing that Kawi wanted to go to an amusement park + deja vu make him suspicious but it's confirmed when Pisaeng calling Kawi Khun (a more polite and formal term of address) and just tells him. Kawi is surprised but composed. He's unperturbed to find out that Pisaeng didn't believe him about the time travel. He approaches the amusement park date differently to timeline 4, going on several rides and even the largest rollercoaster, becoming nauseous afterwards.

KAWI, while resting, rejects the idea of wanting this day to last forever or breaking up to avoid getting pneumonia in the future, essentially telling Pisaeng that he'd rather die in the future having spent a decade with Pisaeng than live any number of years without him. When they drive home he tells Pisaeng not to close the car's sunroof, wanting to feel the breeze.

PISAENG is completely disoriented when the time machine actually works, especially because Kawi looked exactly the same a few days into their relationship as he did after most of a decade. He cracks and tells Kawi he's from the future as soon as they get to the adjustment park. Pisaeng despairs at not being about to figure out how to stop Kawi from getting sick in the future, and apologises for not taking enough care of Kawi. When Kawi tells him that it might just be out of their control, he commits to enjoying a date with this version of Kawi before he goes back to the future come what may.

PISAENG is anxious when Kawi is mildly ill after riding the roller coaster and tentatively suggests that they break up to avoid a future when Kawi gets deathly ill, feeling selfish when (prompted by Kawi) he reflects on the time he and interim-4 Kawi spent together and wouldn't change a thing, apart from Kawi being half dead in the hospital. He absentmindedly opens the car's sunroof on the drive home, motioning to close it after remembering that Kawi didn't like it in timeline 4, being surprised when Kawi instead tells him to leave it.

INTERIM

KAWI and PISAENG cherish each day together, knowing that they might have a hard limit on the time they have.

FUTURE

KAWI recovers from pneumonia knowledgeable about Pisaeng's sojourn in the past. He and Pisaeng attend Pear's wedding and he is happy for her and her husband but secretly thinks it's a little over the top. He reminisces about how he tried so hard to be the one staffing next to post on her wedding day but rejects the idea of changing anything about his life even if he could. He denies wanting a wedding/commitment ceremony between him and Pisaeng but spitballs with Pisaeng the kind of things such an event would entail anyway.

PISAENG tells Kawi not to worry about looking sickly at PEAR'S wedding because the important thing is that he's made it through and is happy when Kawi is like "we made it through" but mentioned that he's have fallen to despair without past-5 Kawi's advice + bravery after being told his probable date of death. He is surprised when Kawi mentions activating the time machine again just to see and being unconcerned when it didn't work. Pear, he mentioned getting married and smiles when Kawi is like "ew no" but starts planning it anyway.

PEAR, MAX and KWAN welcome Kawi home from the hospital. PEAR gets married to James and the wedding is beautiful and very large.

NOT is at PEAR'S wedding for some reason, and also hasn't written another book in a decade.

THEEDAO is presumably on good terms with Kawi and Pisaeng. Whether she achieved her goals of a political career is unknown.

EPILOGUE

KAWI AND PISAENG sit on the beach. PISAENG gifts Kawi a guitar pick, the same one interim-3 Pisaeng gave Kawi before disappearing and prompting Kawi to travel back to the past and fix their relationship, so seeing it is both a reminder of that horrible future and a reminder that it will never come to pass. Kawi and Pisaeng kiss, and Kawi asks Pisaeng if he'd travel back in time if the time machine still worked. Pisaeng would, but only to hit on Kawi all over again. And again and again.

dndads and jrwi crossover would go crazy

spoilers for several campaigns of jrwi and also upto ep 20 season 1 spoilers for dndads

with prime defenders lark and sparrow would find a way to summon the fuckin trickster and bite it to death in like 25 minutes. terry jr gains horrible driving skills from william. sparrow eats a rat with vyncent and they causs terrible damage to the rat population. theyre going to find a way to make sparrow into an actual love wolf. its utter chaos minute 1

darryl and gillion would so have handshake offs you have to understand me on this one. also henry verbally and probably a bit physically beats up jayson. chip gets really mad because he cant pants ron and the other dads would step in if it wasnt so funny /silly

suckening the dads are probs best suited cause its in like a real world place however i think ron does get almost immediately beat up by emizel for being a loser. also terry jr is very much unable to look any of the vampires especially arthur without remembering the one who pretended to be his dead father.

bitb is interesting. they immediately assume its somewhat the library or something to me also glenn immediately befriends all 3 of them with his rocking attitude and also chill drugness ig

theres more but like. yeag. have class soon so cant

#jerwee supreme #only using that tag bc again Fear /lh

yknow what since im too tired 2 DRAW them but too hyped up 2 NOT do smth involving it heres a buncha random tidbits abt my ( very work in progress … ) tmnt iteration , tmnt : inheritance !! :3

the main premise is this : splinter dies , and with leo being the oldest of the turtles ( 14 y/o at the time ), he leaves her with the responsibility of taking care of her siblings on her own and becoming their sensei instead of him. i heart making characters suffer at a young age <3 ( im evilll )

it takes place currently in the dreadful year of 2020 , but i might change that later. either way , the ages would still b the same ! leo is 19, mikey & donnie r 16 ( twinsies ), and raph is 14 ( the idea of this typically big grumpy hotheaded dude being the youngest has always been a funny idea 2 me lol ), casey is 16 and april is 18

heres sum lgbt stuff 4 ya — leo ( aka lea ): she/her , transgirl , lesbian. donnie : they/them , intersex bigender ( demiboy/demigirl ), omnisexual ace. mikey : literally just read my bio lol. raph : he/it/fang/rawr , feralgender boy , aro. casey : he/they , transmasc , queer. april : it/its/april/aprils , astrogender , unlabeled. karai : she/they , butchgender , lesbian. both splinter ( male ) and shredder ( female ) r cis and bisexual. phew ! dats a lotta queers

casey gets introduced b4 april here. im still tryna figure out exactly how he finds these weirdos .. hes always gunna b a loser vigilante in my eyes

april’s role is EXTREMELY different from normal. i stole the awsom idea 2012 had with april being half kraang and it spiraled from there .. april’s been living with the kraang its entire life. i havent decided on if the turtles meet april in the obligatory space arc OR right after the kraang show up on earth , but either way they talk sum sense into it , leading 2 april abandoning the kraang n living with the turtles

donnie n april r bffs 4eva !!! shortly after it befriended the turtles , april took a great interest in learning abt earth n stuff so donnie immediately jumped on the opportunity 2 info dump 2 sumbody thats actually interested in what they have 2 say. april writes down everything donnie says during info dumps. it also does this with pretyy much evry1 else bc april wants 2 get along with them better by learning things they like !!! <3

yea shredder’s a girl , I LOVE WOMEN 💥💥💥💥 ( explosion sfx )

( TW TRANSPHOBIA ) fun fact while splinter was alive he nevr once called lea by her preferred name , prns , etc. it’s complicated bc splinter and lea had a rlly good relationship otherwise , but the constant misgendering always left a bad taste in her mouth. splinter’s death meant she would nevr see her father change his mind 2 accept her as his daughter , evr. all those years of hoping and waiting were 4 nothing ! yippee !!!!

dw im working in jonatello sumwhere cmon yknow me i would nevr miss out on an opportunity 2 shove them into evrything

same thing with aprileo i need more of them pretyy please

#🦑misc #this is such a passion project u can probably tell haha X’)#tmnt: inheritance

Some Baki characters on Facebook (💀)

Had this stupid idea, enjoy

Baki is pretty average. He just posts pictures with Kozue and stuff. Nothing particularly notable besides the death threats on every one of his posts 😭

Kozue's is really sweet, its a lot of pictures of her and her friends or Baki with cute little filters over them. There's a lot of date photos of her and Baki and they are so adorable.

Spec only types in ALL CAPS and makes these very aggressive statuses toward everyone especially toward the official Hanayama group fb page it's hilarious

"THESE DAMN GEN ZS ARE RUINING MY LIFE 😡😡😡👹👺🤗🤬🤬"

"HANAYAMA MORE LIKE HANDICAPPED 😂😂🤣🤣👹👺🤬 LOVE SPEC ❤️"

He one hundred percent has posted this

Kaoru has a fucking flip phone he does NOT have Facebook. Kizaki runs the Hanayama group fb page

I imagine Yuujirou posts the dumbest shit. Like he'll upload a status saying "about to go fuck up some kids" then like an hour later he posts a picture of him all bloodied up in a car with sunglasses on, smiling at the camera with the caption "i beat the shit out of those losers" He also cannot stop threatening people and challenging to fight them. I imagine his account has been banned like 3 times but he "befriended" the Facebook admins and now he is literally invincible irl and online

Doppo's fb would be hilariousss. He'd post pictures of him just going through daily life. There'd be a picture he took of him and Natsue on a date at a fancy restaurant with the caption "With bae 🤞❤️" (yes he knows hip lingo and uses emojis) There would be a picture of Katou, Suedou, and Katsumi chilling on a bench looking at their phones with Doppo in the frame with the caption "Hanging out with my boys 🔥"

There'd be a picture of Katsumi awkwardly standing next to a grill with a spatula and a pink apron on and the caption would be "Autism be damned my boy can work a grill 🙏"

Retsu's whole page only consists of Shinshinkai advertisements, pictures of the sky and scenery he took, and weird daily wisdom reposts

Katou is just there for the meme. He usually uses twitter or Instagram or something but he has some friends on fb so he has it. He usually just comments dumb assoholic shit on peoples posts and eggs on old people because he is the worst.

Katsumi has a lot of pictures of him and his students or friends BUT SO MANY THIRST TRAPS LIKE...we get it your boobs and muscles are big we understand. and like what if your dad sees that dumbass. I imagine he'd be mortified. And when I mean mortified I mean he'd immediately laugh then make fun of you forever. Anyways there'd probably also be like some random fucking picture of him kicking a dummy looking cool with some dookie ass caption "Train hard and achieve. 💪"

Katou in the comments of one of Katsumi's weird thirst trap posts like "bruh 💀"

#baki the grappler #baki dou #baki headcanons #baki son of ogre #baki hanma #anime #anime memes #katou kiyosumi #kozue matsumoto #retsu kaioh #hanayama kaoru #doppo orochi #manga #spec baki

Hi bestie I'm making a presentation on Mitch to my friends (please don't ask I have immeasurable brainrot and need to get it out somehow) but I don't really know what to include to really encapsulate all of his... everything so what are your personal favourite moments/ important Mitch lore. Also if you could drop some pics of him sitting on men's laps and engaging in otherwise questionable activity that would also be appreciated lol

oh my GOD. that is SO CUTE and i am so so honored to be called upon to help you with this incredible project.

i feel like (although its in need of an update. not me doing quarterly updates of this mitch marner primer like it's my actual job) my mitch marner primer will have a lot of the content you're looking for (if you haven't already seen it flkjdlsss. apologies in advance for the insanity of this even existing) *also my matt martin tag, justin holl tag, and patrick marleau tag has a lot of adorable gifs and photos!)

random things that immediately come to mind are what justin holl and alex kerfoot and Zach hyman said about mitch that just STAY WITH ME because i feel like they convey what mitch means and is for the people around him: justin holl: “you can’t really put into words how much Mitchy means to this team” alex kerfoot [when asked about where the leafs miss mitch the most - when mitch was out with injury i think]: "we miss him everywhere" zach hyman listing the things he'd want on a desert island: mitch

Other lore stuff (this is going to be very stream of consciousness and messy...apologies in advance)

The way Mitch draws SMILEY FACES and stuff on his gloves to remind him that hockey is supposed to be fun (and sometimes he writes Z on it - presumably for Zeus. Other times he's written H on it for Hayden, a child cancer patient/friend that Mitch befriended during his London Knights Days, which you can read more about here)

THE ENTIRE ATHLETIC ARTICLE about what mitch was like during his London Knights days https://theathletic.com/2469915/2021/03/25/mitch-marner-ohl-season/. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ARTICLE but does have a paywall…if you don’t have a subscription, copy+pasting the athletic link into here should allow you to bypass

This video of Zach asking reporters if they caught Mitch singing loudly in the lockerroom lmao. I just LOVE how every single Leaf immediately points out Mitch as the one who's most likely to always be busting out into song and dance. I just know he was a Gleek when he was younger i just KNOW IT

What Jon Cooper says about Mitch. i just know jon cooper is smackin his lips somewhere out there wanting to sign mitch to play for him. Coops i know what you are

The way it's literally IMPOSSIBLE for mitch to go ANYWHERE or do anything without acquiring at least 3-5 doting father figures who want to kidnap him and squeeze him like a stress ball (same)

EVERY. SINGLE. THING about the 2015 NHL draft class and the friendship between connor dylan and mitch. every single thing

The way Mitch takes ANY and EVERY opportunity he can to gas auston and his teammates up! and his general inability to chirp anyone without immediately backtracking (most noticeable in the leaf to leaf with matt martin) and being a big loser about it. I know he always says he LOVES getting under his friends' skin and being annoying but i feel like this is like the time he asserted "he was thick for his size"? aka patently false but we love the DELUSION for you, babygirl! no but fr - it is generally impossible for mitch to get through any media appearance without complimenting or referring to auston at LEAST once. that boy is a simp to the core for auston matthews. this i think is even sweeter because - idk about now - but it's pretty clear that mitch's dad saw auston as a massive rival to mitch and a threat to mitch's potential success with the leafs? so mitch's friendship with auston and general "HEART EYES HUMINA HUMINA AWOOOGA HES SO GOOD HES MY BIG BOY HES MY MASSIVE MAN" demeanor about auston is all...in spite of his dad

The way he's never met a goalie he hasn't fallen in love with

The way he loves all dogs and kids (and the way kids seem to gravitate toward him). he's a CARICATURE of a man.

The way he complains and whines SO much whenever his teammate posts a photo without tagging him, even if he's not even in the photo. the constant need for attention. the babygirl behavior!

The way he sTILL HATES VEGETABLES and distrusts soup because of the texture and YET will make "ice cream soup" by mixing it with a spoon until it's all melted before he eats it. like what the fuck? what the fuck.

his utterly guileless warmth and happiness and enthusiasm for LIFE, hockey, and his PALS. he's a little stupid sometimes but he's so sweet and so CUTE and just a little k-pop group maknae-coded man

The way he melts himself into older players' families so thoroughly their kids believe that mitch is actually one of them

Moments of Mitch sitting on other players' laps or generally needing to be the most tactile physical-affection craving baby:

mitch and matt napping and spooning

this just makes me laugh bc mitch...wat are u doin

anyway, i will end this with what my friend said about mitch: i think once you're friends with mitch you just accept that he will be cuddling and spooning and draping himself over you. look. all these men clearly have the tired expressions of 'look, mitch just happened to me i didnt have a choice.'

#i hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!#im prob forgetting a lot...my brain at this point is just..it holds onto so much useless mitch marner information it scares me

Evolution of Otae vs. Gintoki x Sacchan part one

gintama has 704 chapters and one of the most memorable running gags is sacchan riling otae up over ginsacchan endgame. This is a 3 part post where I trace an aspect of otae and sarutobi’s friendship that’s both hilarious and fascinating to me.

part one L1-156

part two L157-364

part three L365-700

join me on this fun trip. XD

L64 Otose Snack Bar

First meeting of Otae and Sarutobi. Otae says that Sacchan’s application/omiai picture is cute. Otae, Sacchan and Catherine are all competing to be the replacement of Kagura, the show’s heroine. Sarutobi is already in love with Gintoki at this point and doesn’t suspect Otae yet of anything. Because GIntoki and Shinpachi couldn’t pick between them, both the ladies knock them out and proceed to walk into the moonlight.

It‘s the start of an interesting friendship.

L77 Infant Strife

Sarutobi immediately assumes that the child between Gintoki and Otae was their offspring. She immediately attacks Otae and calls her “not a woman anymore but a mother.” Otae retaliates by saying that Sacchan is a “one woman opera a B-movie script and that the child isn’t hers.” Otae exclaims that “no one would want to have a baby with that Loser (Gintoki)” Otae tries to get Gintoki to clear things up but finds him trying to escape. Otae throws him into a river and calls him the kid “his bastard child” and gintoki “a pig”. She also tacks on that she will stop Shinpachi from working with Gintoki (for being a dishonorable guy).

Otae invites Sarutobi to just hang out with her instead. Also I think she clear things up that the kid is not hers.

I think Sarutobi’s thought process was

“Otae wants to be the show’s heroine (from L64) --> Gin-san is bringing a kid that looks exactly like him and Otae is beside him --> Otae is also my competition for heroine --> heroine can also mean Gin-san’s woman --> Otae befriended me before but she actually wants Gin-san for herself --> to hell with you Otae, you conniving btch”

it’s a neat tie in to their last encounter XD

L98 Post-Benizakura Recuperation

Sarutobi stumbles upon one of the traps Otae set aside for Kondou. Sacchan thinks the traps are for her specifically and that Otae made them so that she will not bother GinTae.

Yamazaki then confirms to Kondou and Sacchan that Gintoki is temporarily staying in the Kodoukan dojo to heal from his injuries. Kondou complains that he can’t allow GinTae to live in one roof. Sarutobi encourages Kondou not to give up on stalking and says that even if she was happy for Gin-san fathering a kid (L77), she wont stop pursuing Gin-san either (coz she knows that otae wasnt the mom).

note: accdg to Word of God, Sarutobi starts to spy on the kodoukan dojo and otae after this

L103 Snowball fight

Sarutobi shows off her massive Gintoki snowman to Yorozuya. Gintoki is impressed by it. She demonstrates how it works by laying on the outstretched hands of the snowman. Because of her weight the arms break off causing Sachhan and her glasses fall. Blind as bat without glasses!Sacchan picks the broken arms and thrusts them accidentally at Otae who just arrived at the scene. The hands of the Gintoki snowman arms land on her chest. Otae gets pissed and her fist find Gintoki to send him flying.

Convenient for Otae to show up while Gin x Sacchan was happening lmao.

L128 Hostess Club / Shogun Introduction

Sarutobi picks the shogun stick of the shogun’s game. She immediately requests Gin-san to have sex with her. Otae smacks Sacchan with her foot because the latter was not playing by the rules.

note: in shogun/kings game you’re supposed to say “number xxx i order you to [smth smth]”, the fun in the game is that you dont know who’s holding which number. the shogun just kept getting the numbers that were ordered to do the tasks.

L138 Group Date

Kondou gets kicked by Otae to the ceiling after he showed up and objected to Gintoki’s planned Goukon. Sarutobi was lurking in the space between ceiling and roof, spying on Otae (or maybe following Shinpachi, idk)

This is the first instance we see Sarutobi stalking/spying on Otae. Because both stalkers were already aware of the Goukon, they invite themselves to the party. Gintoki kicks Kondou because he didnt want to include the stalkers in the first place.

L156 Weight Loss Arc

Sarutobi pops out of Otae’s ceiling when she overhears Kagura and Otae’s conversation. She insinuates that GIn-san’s back will break if he carries Kagura or Otae like a princess (most likely this jibe was directed at Otae again). Sacchan falls from the ceiling too because she’s overweight.

Otae: hey don’t destroy my house

--> it’s like the house is punishing sacchan for assuming about gintae again.

at the fasting dojo otae rags on sacchan to leave the dojo if she’s just gonna keep eating. Sarutobi responds by telling Otae that unlike Otae, she isn’t actually fat and in fact she’s carrying Gintoki’s baby. Otae responds by kicking her in the stomach “Congratulations you just give birth to puke.”

In infant strife arc, we remember that Sarutobi mocked Otae for “not being a woman anymore and downgrading into a mother, taking herself out of the competition.” While in Weight Loss Arc she proudly she says she’s pregnant and soon to be mother of Gintoki’s child lololol

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

OVERALL NOTES:

there’s a continuous back and forth of riling up between the two. It usually starts with Sarutobi insulting Otae and telling her that she’ll end up with Gintoki. Otae never responds kindly to insults and people calling her names so she retaliates at Sarutobi with violence.

ON TO PART TWO!

CELEBRATING YOUR BIRTHDAY

characters ♡ bokuto, tendō, matsukawa & suna

tw ♡ gn! reader, timeskip! bokuto (all sfw tho), swearing, reader wears makeup (matsukawa), swearing, mentions of death & food

cred ♡ thanks to anon for this request <3

KŌTARŌ BOKUTO

♡ he was literally counting down the days to your birthday, he even took the day off practise to celebrate it with you so imagine his surprise when the special day finally rolls around and he wakes up to an empty bed

♡ at first, he thought that perhaps you were just around the house somewhere but nope, the place was completely empty and even worse, all signs pointed to his theory that you had gone to work/school on your birthday

♡ outraged. he was absolutely outraged.

♡ firstly, he tried calling you but you wouldn’t pick up, even after his many attempts so his next resort to call your place of work/school reception

♡ obviously he managed to get a hold of you then-

♡ he was originally gonna yell about how you lied to him about taking the day off on your birthday but there was no way he could be angry at you — almost ever — so instead, he made the quick decision of telling you to have a nice day before hanging up

♡ you were kinda pissed that he wasted your time like that but how could you stay mad at him? he’s fkn adorable! he blew you audible kisses over the phone for good luck!

♡ you laboured your way through the day, putting in great effort yet through it all, the only thing on your mind was how much you wanted to just pass out on the couch with bokuto as soon as you got home. you weren’t even sure if you had the energy to change into your pjyamas.

♡ however, when you finally did arrive home, there was no need to put yourself through the onerous task of changing clothes as the first thing you were greeted by when you stepped foot in your own home was a chorus of cheers of ‘surprise!’ followed by people spilling out into the foyer from the kitchen and living room

♡ then there was bokuto, the loudest of them all leading the crowd, blowing into the party horn while dashing up to, throwing his arms around your shoulders to pull you into a tight hug, ‘happy birthday, sweetie!’

♡ a light gasp escaped your lips at the sudden hoots, and the unfamiliar — and frankly uncomfortable — sight of many friends swarm towards you had you on edge but when you felt bokuto wrap you in his warm embrace, you knew you were home

♡ he held you close until you were forced apart by many guests tearing you away to personally wish you a happy birthday

♡ now that the initial shock had died down, you noticed that there wasn’t as many people present as you thought, it was a humble gathering of all your closest friends

♡ there was a massive pile of bright-colored gifts lying on the stairs, and it was hard not to immediately acknowledge them as the sheer mass and number of the presents scattered across the steps prevented anyone from being able to go upstairs

♡ the following day, you were made aware of the fact 90% of those presents were addressed from ‘your best ace husband ;)’ which was pretty straight-forward considering you only have one husband; kiyoomi sakusa.

♡ jokes, you married bokuto but sakusa was also at the party. he originally just wanted to drop off his gift then leave but bokuto persuaded him to stay, though he seemed to be regretting it now as almost everyone at the party now shared an unspoken goal to slam sakusa’s face into one of the cupcakes that decorated the circumference of your cake

♡ speaking of the cake, bokuto remembered what type of cake was your favorite from the wedding planning and he was so chuffed with himself. in fact, he was so confident in his cake picking ability that he ordered a massive 3-tier monster of a dessert

♡ neither of you would be able to finish it before it goes bad so you ended up cutting it up into pieces and sending each guest away with a little goody-bag with a slice of cake inside lmao

♡ once you had finished your goodbyes and everyone had filed out of your home, you flopped onto the couch and let out a deep sigh of relief. well, it was only a sigh for a few moment as it became a wheeze when bokuto laid down on top of you

♡ ‘happy birthday, (y/n). i’m sorry if i tired you out.’ he hummed, fiddling with your fingers as his lips curled into a shaky smile

♡ ‘i’m a bit sleepy but i had an amazing time. thank you so much, kō.’

♡ bokuto smiled, his heavy lid falling shut as he finally rested his neck, being able to fall asleep comfortably now that you’ve told him that you had fun

SATORI TENDŌ

♡ unlike bokuto, he’ll actually mention your birthday a few weeks prior to the celebration so he can plan the perfect date :3

♡ ‘so do you wanna go to the aquarium or the theme park? because i know we’ve went to the park before but they remodelled it apparently. plus, maybe the aquarium is a bit underwhelming for such a special day, but it’s up to yo--’

♡ ‘we won’t really get to spend much time in either. if you consider the time school finishes, the train ride and the time the aquarium and park closes so maybe we could just chill at my house instead.’

♡ tendō deadpanned for a moment, the most unamused look taking over his features until he suddenly burst out laughing, cackling as if you just told the joke of the century, ‘seriously, (y/n)? you’re gonna go to school on your birthday.’

♡ ‘yes, of course.’ you replied in all seriousness, resulting in tendō awkwardly beginning to stifle his chuckles.

♡ he frowned, slumping back into the seat beside you, ‘c’mon, it’s your birthday, though! you deserve the day off.’

♡ you shook your head, kindly declining his suggestion, ‘i have a test on that day.’

♡ ‘all the more reason to ditch!’

♡ now it was your turn to deadpan

♡ tendō tossed his head back while letting out a sigh of defeat, draping his arm around your shoulder to lovingly pull you to his chest, ‘alright, then. whatever you want, dear.’

♡ you smiled, glad that you didn’t need to disagree with him any longer — and you were even happier on the day. even though you insisted that he keeps things small on your birthday, he still managed to find a way to make things extra asf by getting you a massive plush that was about half the size of your stature and a hamper of homemade chocolates ><

ISSEI MATSUKAWA

♡ honestly, he’s never been the best at giving gifts but he tries extra hard for you

♡ like if you off-handedly say that you are cold during class, he’ll buy you a bunch of new jackets, jumpers and gloves

♡ or if you say you need more mascara, he’ll buy you exact same one you usually wear

♡ he’s observant enough to notice and remember the exact shade and brands of all your cosmetic products but he’s not observant enough to pick up on the subtle hints you drop as to what you want for your birthday

♡ you can never guess what he’s gonna get you and that adds to your anticipation for the day

♡ if your birthday is on a school day, he’ll bring in a batch of homemade cupcakes (which hanamaki helped him with) and stick a candle in one of them for you to blow out

♡ he offers you one but they are all pretty stale- just smile and nod while your teeth feel like they are being shattered trying to bite down on the cupcake

♡ it might set off the fire alarm but oh well, just count that as another present

♡ oikawa will probably get you something like a bouquet and try flirt with you so at that point, matsukawa and hanamaki begin using the cupcakes as weapons

♡ they are a two for one deal so you’re going to be spending the day with both of them tailing you like lost puppies

platonic RINTARŌ SUNA

♡ (requester specified) your birthday is on the same day as his so ofc he’s going to be a little salty abt it

♡ you both created a game to see who receives the most birthday wishes and whoever won gets ¥1500 from the loser’s birthday money

♡ for the past few years, he’s usually been the winner by just a few but this year, you made it a point to befriend all him teammates in order to ensure victory

♡ having to pretend to be friendly with atsumu — who wasn’t very good at hiding his massive crush —was definitely a challenge but you powered through

♡ in fact, you may have played the role too well as both the miya twins gave you a gift

♡ osamu gave both you and suna a plastic bag filled with some food he made and water bottles

♡ as for atsumu, his gift to you was a massive hamper filled with an assortment of many different luxury confectionary which didn’t look cheap at all but it didn’t feel appropriate to question the price so you simply took it from him with a bright smile

♡ of course, suna was excited (and very hungry) as he expected the same gift but he was more than disappointed when all he received was a bag of chips and a slap on the back

♡ he goes out of his way to tell every teacher it’s your birthday in hopes that they’ll make the class sing happy birthday to you

♡ but it pisses him off to no end when you add that it’s his birthday too so he ends up getting roped into your misery

♡ also your thumbs are going to be sore at night swiping through all the various candid pics that suna took of you throughout the day (in less than flattering poses) which he uplaoded to almost all of his social media stories with stupid ass captions

♡ but dw bc he’ll eventually post a nice photo of you with a sweet message

♡ ‘happy birthday to @(y/n) . i would die for you, bitch (even though you annoy the hell out of me every single day 🤠).’

Stop Running (Cordelia x Wilhemina x fem!reader x Ally)

idk what we got here, but its reeeeeeally long and made with google translate..so excuse me

summary: you have to meet the son of your girlfriends and he reminds you of ur dead brother and all the memories of ur childhood come back

warnings: suicide, depression, scars, child abuse..

Being in a relationship with 3 women at the same time was probably something like the jackpot. Before, you didn't even think you'd get one and now you had 3.

You still remembered the night these three women came into the club where you worked as a waitress. In the beginning it was just little things like saying 'please' and 'thank you' when you brought them something. Most of the people who came to this club got drunk too quickly to be polite.

Then they started asking you questions.

“What's your name?”

“How is it possible that a pretty girl like you works in a club like this?” (a question that made you blush)

“How can we get your attention?”

And at one point you gave a shit about your work and sat with them for the rest of the night. And at dawn they took you to their bed with them. You were the only sober person that evening, but the next morning none of the 3 were surprised or angry about your presence.

It had developed into a frequency, every Friday night they'd come to the club only to leave with you at the end of the night. And at some point it became more.

The trio had piqued your interest since the first night, which was probably because there were three of them and later you wanted to know everything about them. You found out that Ally was widowed with a son, that Wilhemina had her cane with scoliosis and that she had a secret fetish for the Victorian era, and that Cordelia was the headmistress of a witch's school, they all lived in.

And at some point you had to find out that you were in love with all three at once.

You loved Mina's severity and how proud she walked despite her scoliosis. No one had ever walked so gracefully with a cane, you were sure of that.

You loved seeing how gentle and balanced Delia was with everyone.

And you loved Ally when she explained the world to you and was the smartest person in the room.

The problem was that you were too scared. These women had known each other for a number of years and you had only known them for a few weeks. How many times have you wondered if you were just a distraction for her bedroom?

You were ashamed of this question and started avoiding contact with them. But when they confronted you, you finally revealed your feelings to them.

They weren't angry, on the contrary, they started laughing.

———————————

"We thought you knew that we love you too and were now afraid that you would avoid us because of that .." said Delia.

"Oh .." you mumbled confused.

"We're sorry we never made it official .." Ally said, putting a hand on your knee. "We thought it was obvious .."

-----------------------

And now you've finally been living with them for a week. You almost lived with them anyway. You knew the big building of the academy almost by heart, Delia's girls knew and liked you, and most of the time you spent in the trio's rooms instead of your own little apartment.

There was a little problem though: Oz, Ally's son.

Ally had decided it would be better if you didn't meet him until you officially lived with them. It wasn't up to you, but the circumstances were very complicated. If one mother died and you had two new ones, you didn't need a third.

The night you found out about Oz's existence, Ally had also told you the story of the Cult and how she killed Ivy.

—

"I want there to be no secrets between us. And I'm not proud of what I did, but it's part of me now .." she had said.

"We have all done things that we are not proud of .." was your reply.

—

The three of them tried to prepare Oz for you as best they could, which wasn't difficult because Oz wasn't a complicated kid. And you had been confident, because actually you got on well with children.

"Oz is in his room .." Ally said as she walked into your living room. She grabbed your hands to pull you up from the sofa before kissing you on the cheek.

Both of you were at home alone at the moment, as Delia and Mina were working afterwards.

You gave her a warm smile and together you went to the boy's room. Ally knocked on the door briefly before opening it. Her hand never left yours. A blond boy was sitting on the bed reading a comic. "Oz, this is Y / N .. I told you about her .." Ally said. The boy, Oz, raised his head and looked straight at you. Your breath caught at the sight of him.

He looks like Leo, was your first thought.

This little boy looked just like your little brother had looked that age. You got dizzy. All that you repressed in the last few years suddenly all shot back into your memory. Your abusive father, who hobbled on a stick because of his broken leg and didn't fail to punish Leo or you for anything senseless. Your alcoholic mother who drowned her frustration in alcohol and was never there when you needed her. And Leo, your Leo that you loved so much. How many times did you want to run away and stay because of him? Then this picture shot in your head, you were 17 at the time and he was 15. One day you came home and his dead body had tumbled from the ceiling by his belt. He couldn't take it anymore and you hated yourself so much that you didn't notice.

"Honey?" Ally's voice brought you back to the present. You looked away from Oz, who was now looking at you in confusion, and fixed your gaze on Ally. "I thought it would be better if I gave you some time alone .." she whispered.

"Sure ..", you nodded slowly.

She smiled and squeezed your hand. "Good .." was the last thing she said before leaving the room.

You stood lost in the boy's room, who by now was fixated on his comic again, and didn't know what to do. You wanted to run after Ally, bury you in her arms and start crying. But you knew that it probably wouldn't go down too well with Oz, so you just paused.

"She's happy again .." Oz suddenly said without looking up from his comic.

"Excuse me, what?"

"I mean mom .. she laughs a lot more .."

"Didn't she do that before?", You were confused.

"Yea .. but it always seemed so forced .. When Delia and Mina started to meet her, she felt like shit and she had to get back to normal, she was somehow sick or something like that .. I think she is happy to have someone who didn't see her as this wreck and that's why she's happy .. "

You didn't answer what he said because you couldn't judge it.

So it takes three women to replace one .. you thought and immediately hated yourself for it.

"What are you reading?" You walked slowly to the bed and sat down next to Oz.

"Avengers .." he muttered.

Inside you were relieved, at least something you knew.

"And do you like it?", You looked into the book and began to read along. "It's cool .." he said curtly and read on.

"That's Civil War .." you stated after two minutes. Confused, he looked at you sideways. "You know it?" "Of course.." He nodded shortly before looking back into the book. "Are you Team Cap or Team Iron Man?" You asked. "Although I like Iron Man more, Team Cap .. The way Shield is fighting him here sucks," Oz said and you nodded. You noticed the Iron Man movie poster hanging on his closet. "Have you seen the films?" "Nope .." he shook his head. "Mom won't let me .." "How old are you?" "11 .." "Okay well .. maybe I can talk your mom and we can watch her together .." you said.

"Are you serious? ..", he looked at you skeptically. "Yes .." you nodded. "I mean it's her choice, but I don't think the films are that dangerous you can't watch them .." "That would be cool .." he muttered, staring at the Iron Man poster.

--------------------------

"How about Oz, Y / N?" Asked Mina, who was sitting across from you. You looked up from your meal.

"Good .." you mumbled briefly

"Good ..?" She repeated before taking another sip of her red wine. Her eyes were still attached to yours.

"Yes ... I think I'll be able to make friends with him .." you added when you noticed that your answer was a bit short.

It was 10 p.m. and the four of you hadn't eaten with the other girls and Oz as usual, but only did it now because Mina had come home so late. And you had been noticeably quiet, still thinking about your Leo.

Ally put a hand on your knee under the table as she always did to calm you down. "You seemed very ..", she searched for words. "impressed? I don't know .."

"Uhm yes .. I was a little bit overstrained ..", you tried to smile at her, but you could still feel Mina's penetrating look. Like she's trying to look inside your head.

Cordelia, realizing the tense mood, let out a laugh.

"Overstrained would also fit our attitude when we met him for the first time ..", she said and threw a loving look at Mina.

"yeah?" You asked confused, because Cordelia always got on well with everyone.

"Oh yes .." she continued. "Ally had also left us alone with him and we didn't even know what to do .. I think it is already difficult for a child to accept one new person in the mother's life and then two ... it was all a little bit complicated.."

"And what did you do then?"

"We ended up playing Monopoly .." she said with a grin. You started to laugh. "Monopoly?" "Yes and in the end Mina was angry because she had lost .." You looked at Mina, who blushed. "Those were the wrong rules we were playing with .." she muttered. "You're just a bad loser, honey .." Cordelia said, still grinning.

Smiling you looked back and forth between the women. "So are you all right?" Ally asked again, drawing your attention back to herself. You nodded quickly. "yes, it's all good. Oz is great .. so he told me that you wouldn't let him watch the Marvel films .. they really aren't that bad, I think it's okay .."

"You think so?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Jesus Ally, don't feel criticized right away..I just mean that I could imagine watching them with him..you know, then this thing with befriending him might work better ..", you said and started playing with your fingers

Her eyes relaxed at your words. "I think that's no problem .."

------------------------------------

The next day you lay on the sofa, tired, trying to get some sleep. At night it was impossible: every time you closed your eyes, you saw the picture of the dead Leo in front of your eyes.

Ally was sitting at the end of the sofa with your legs in her lap, her fingers running over them, while she was reading an article on her cell phone.

An approaching knock made you flinch and your body stiffened, which Ally didn't go unnoticed. This is your father, you startled for a moment.

"Don't worry, Princess .. outside of the bedroom, Mina's walking stick is no danger for you .." Ally said to you and laughed.

She might found it funny, but her words made you scared, not that you wouldn't be interested in this type of sex ... But the thought of Mina hitting you with her stick made you feel uncomfortable.

"Oz is looking for you Y / N ..", Mina said as she entered the room and saw Ally and you on the sofa. You nodded briefly and jumped up to go to the boy. "Thanks Mina .." was the last thing you muttered before you left the room.

Oz was in his room, as expected. You knocked just before you entered. He was sitting at his desk doing homework.

"Mina said you'd look for me .." you said and stepped up to him. "Are we watching Iron Man today?" He asked without looking up from his duties. "Today?", You were surprised. Ally had given Oz permission to watch the movies with you at breakfast, but you didn't expect to start today. "Yup.." "uhm...Sure" "Cool ..", he raised his head and grinned crookedly. Leo shot through your head. "See you later Y / N .." "See you then," you mumbled and left his room.

A few hours later you were sitting next to Ally's son on the sofa and tried to concentrate on the film. Oz sat next to you, focused on the film and just made a few comments.

The whole evening was relatively relaxed until Oz put his head on your shoulder and immediately you were a 13 year old girl again and next to you was not your lover's son, but your 10 year old brother Leo. You weren't in the living room either. You sat crouched at the end of your bed, Leo next to you, his head on your shoulder. The TV had turned into a door that you and Leo are now staring at, concentrating on the voices behind it. It was your father fighting with your mother. Your heartbeat quickened immediately. You could hear his footsteps as he hobbled his stick down the hall. It became harder to breathe when you saw the doorknob move down and-

"It works better than I expected.." Ally's voice whispered and you were immediately back in the living room.

"Is everything okay?" She asked confused when she saw your distraught look. You nodded slowly. "Yes-", you stuttered. "I'm just a little surprised, I thought it would be more complicated to make friends with Leo .." "Leo?", Ally sat down on the sofa and pulled her sleeping son into her lap. "Oz ..." you corrected yourself quickly. "I have no idea how I come up with Leo .. in the film someone was called that .." "You're shaking Y / N .." Ally remarked and saw you concerned at. "I'm sorry," you looked down at your trembling hands. "I'm just very nervous about Oz I think .."

Ally smiled. "You don't have to .. you're doing great .."

------------------- -----------

The next morning the 4 of you, Oz and the other girls were having breakfast together.

"That was cool last night, Y / N .." Oz said suddenly and your attention was on him.

"I think so too ..", you smiled gently at him.

"What I can think of .." Ally remarked. "I have a meeting tonight and Mina has to work late ... so you'll be alone with Oz ..." She looked back and forth between you and Cordelia. "I'm out .." Delia said and sipped her coffee. "Misty and I are going to the greenhouse tonight .." "Oz and I can come with you..I am sure that Oz-" "Misty and I want to be there alone, Y / N .." Cordelia shot you an apologetic look.

"Oh okay ..", you looked carefully at Oz, who was too busy with his food to catch anything in your conversation. "That's not a problem for you, is it?" Ally asked. You shook your head quickly. "No.."

So the subject was off the table and Mina's eyes stabbed your skin again. Although she hadn't said anything, she was probably the one who felt your discomfort the most.

In the evening you and Oz had dinner alone and at first everything went well, you talked about the movie from the previous evening over dinner and you didn't have to think about Leo at all.

"okay .." you started and stood up. "I'll tidy up the kitchen and that's when you finish your homework .." Oz grinned. "Whoever finishes first .." he said and ran out of the room. You had to smile when you started washing the dishes. 10 minutes later Oz walked slowly into the room and you immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"What's up?" You frowned. Oz without a word took out his soccer ball and a few broken pieces from behind his back. "What's that?" You asked calmly.

"I finished my homework and was playing with the ball in the living room. The ball hit Delia's vase and it fell from the cupboard .." he whispered and looked at the broken pieces in his hand.

You stared at him and saw Leo again and wondered what your dad would have done to him now. Tears stung your eyes. "I can't do this anymore .." you sobbed and buried your face in your hands.

Oz looked up at you with wide eyes. "I'm really sorry, Y / N! It wasn't on purpose ... I-"

"Oz no-" you said quickly and crouched down to look at him directly. "I'm not mad at you .. You know, I'm even glad that the thing is broken .. To be honest, I found the vase totally hideous .." "Really?" He asked skeptically. You nodded and tried to smile. "Are you hurt?" "No .." he shook his head.

"Well ... let's clean up the mess now and please don't play with the ball in the house anymore."

---------------------------

"Something is wrong with Y / N .." you heard Ally say to Cordelia the next evening.

You actually wanted to go to them in the living room, but when you heard your name, you couldn't help but stop to hear what they said about you.

"What do you mean?" You heard Delia ask. Ally seemed to think twice about what to say. "Oz told me last night that she started crying when he told her, the vase was broken .." she finally said.

Fuck. You closed your eyes

"I would probably have cried too, I liked the vase .." joked Cordelia. Ally groaned. "That's not funny Delia .. When I walked into the living room the day before, when Oz and Y / N were watching this movie, she also looked totally scared. She was shaking and looked like she was going to cry any moment .." she said.

Delia hummed thoughtfully. "Did you ask her about it?" "She said she was so nervous about Oz, but I don't believe her .. I guess-"

"What are you doing here in the dark, princess?" Mina's lips to your ear made you jump.

"Jesus, Mina .." you cursed and turned to your girlfriend. You could see her grinning in the moonlight that shone in through the hall window. "I didn't hear you coming .."

"If you can't even hear me coming, then you must have been really distracted .." she said, sounding somehow sad. "Let's go in. Unless you want to keep staring at the door here ..", she reached past you to open the door. You gave way and pointed into the room. "Age before beauty .." you just said and made her laugh before she entered the room in front of you.

The previous conversation between Ally and Delia never seemed to have taken place because they both just sat there, Delia read a book and Ally scrolled through her cell phone.

--------------------------

"Happy Birthday, Princess ..", Cordelia whispered in your ear in the morning and let you wake up. "How do you know that?", You grumbled tired and slowly opened your eyes. Delia sat next to you in the Scross-legged in bed. "I am the supreme, i know everything ..", she said smugly and let you snort in annoyance. "Of course you do .." you mumbled and sat up. "Where are Mina and Ally?"

"At work? Honey, it's 11 am .." Cordelia laughed. "And what are you still doing here?" You asked confused. "Can't I spend time with my girlfriend when it's her birthday?" She smiled sweetly at you.

"Do the others know ..?"

"Nope ..", she bit her lip. "I kind of felt like you wouldn't like it if we knew ..." "I don't either," you confirmed. "Still, you'll be sad when you find out .." she muttered.

For a moment it was quiet between the two of you and you just stared at each other. And just as you were wondering how Cordelia could look so good, even though she had just woken up too, she leaned over and kissed you.

"mh delia-" you protested against her lips.

"What?", She withdrew disappointed. "I actually wanted to give you your present now ..", she grinned and enjoyed how you blushed at her statement.

"At least let me brush my teeth beforehand .." you mumbled embarrassed and jumped off the bed.

"Hurry up, princess .."

---------------

In the late afternoon you sat across from Mina at the table. Ally was still working and Cordelia had arranged to meet Misty in the greenhouse. Mina was reading the paper in thought, a habit that you found incredibly cute. You yourself were playing some random game on your cell phone when the message tone on your cell phone beeped.

Message from Joanne: "Hello Y / N, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I'm going to your city next week because I have to go to the doctor and wanted to ask if you would like to meet me?

~ Joanne. "

Your heart quickened on the last sentence. Joanne was your mother and wrote you every year for your birthday, you had never even answered one of her messages and now she wanted to see you again after so many years. She would come here and there was nothing you could do against it.

"Y / N ..?"

You raised your eyes to Mina, who was frowning at you.

"You're hyperventilating .." she remarked emotionless.

"I'm just dizzy ...", you gasped and stood up to run into the bathroom, or rather to stumble into the bathroom. You could feel your stomach turn as you leaned over the toilet and vomited into the toilet bowl.

The world around you seemed to be spinning. The closed bathroom door became the door of your nursery, you could even hear the knock on your father's stick. And how he got closer and closer. You tried to scream, but your mouth was only a soft gasp. Tears stung your eyes. "Please .." you tried silently to get air. A hand put on your back and you instantly jumped away from the toilet. "Please don't hurt me ..", you whimpered and looked fearfully into the face of the person in front of you.

Mina stood in front of you in shock, she had never seen you like this before. And the look you gave her broke her heart. "Honey you need to calm down .." She sat carefully on the floor and grimaced as pain ran through her back. Slowly she reached out her hand to touch yours, which was a mistake. Your hand jerked back, you reached out and let your hand fall against her left cheek. "Don't touch me .." you growled. "What the hell Y / N .." Mina hissed, grabbing your cheeks and forcing you to look at her. "It's me, princess, Mina ..", she whispered and felt her own eyes fill with tears. Your eyes widened when you recognized your girlfriend. And with that you finally broke, but Mina was there to pull you into her lap while you cried into her blouse. She held you as tightly as she could while trying to process the things that had just happened. The cheek your hand had marked on it burned like fire and yet it was impossible for her to realize that you had just hit her. It had never been you, she thought. And yet it was you who was lying in her arms right now.

"I'm so sorry .." you sniffed into her blouse when you had slowly calmed down. Mina gently put her hands around your cheeks and searched your face as if it contained any answers for what had just happened. She swallowed just before speaking. "Are you scared of me, Y / N?"

When her words reached your ear, you wrapped your arms around her torso and did your best not to hurt her. You felt so damn guilty.

"I would never hurt you .." she said softly against your ear, her voice thick with tears.

"I know Mina .." you whispered. "And I could never be afraid of you .."

You drew her back before your fingers slided down her right cheek where your hand marked it. "I'm so sorry .." you repeated your words from a few seconds ago.

"I'm fine Y / N", Mina assured us and took your hand. "I'm just worried about you .. I've been watching you for the last few days, you're acting totally strange .."

"I'm okay .." you mumbled and stood up with shaky legs.

"Don't damn me lie to Y / N! ...", she hissed and there she was again, the strict Mina you loved so much.

"Mina .. I'm really fine, you just shouldn't worry .. That's why I would prefer if Ally and Delia didn't find out about what just happened ... "you said as you leaned towards the mirror to fix your hair.

Mina shook her head blankly and propped herself up. "You are unbelievably Y / N .. two minutes ago you were lying here on the floor and now you're pretending nothing happened ... You won't be able to run away forever .. "she said, took her walking stick and walked past you to leave the bathroom.

You had never spoken to anyone about it, nobody knew about what had happened in your family and actually you had sworn to yourself that you would never tell anyone about it. Simply because you felt terrible about it, somewhere Leo's suicide was also your fault because you weren't strong enough to defend him.

You ran into the hallway and saw Mina sitting at the table again. Lost in thought, she looked out the window. "I think I'll go to sleep, I'm relatively tired ..." you said. Mina didn't move an inch. "You probably won't see me again today .." you muttered and went into your bedroom to actually get some sleep.

---------------

A few hours later you woke up from a bad dream.

It was dark and the first thing you noticed was Minas lavender perfume that surrounded you. Then you realized that, despite the events of the previous day, you 4 had taken your usual sleeping position: You and Ally were in the middle. Cordelia on the right edge, next to Ally and Mina on the left edge, next to you. Mina had her arms wrapped tightly around you and your head was on her chest. Like a few hours ago in the bathroom, you noticed.

Are you scared of me, Y/N?

Mina's words echoed in your head. The sad look she gave you made you feel infinite guilt.

"Mina?" You whispered softly against her neck.

"mhm ..". Mina hummed in her sleep.

"Are you awake..?" You knew how stupid and unnecessary that question was, but you couldn't help it.

She didn't answer at first, before moving after a few seconds.

"Now yeah .." she muttered as she pressed her nose against your hair.

"I just wanted to say, I love you .." you whispered and played with the purple fabric of Mina's pajamas.

"I love you too, princess ..". Was her answer and she kissed you on the forehead. Then it became quiet again and after a few minutes you could tell from her breath that she had fallen asleep again. Unfortunately, in contrast to her, you were wide awake and therefore decided to get up. Carefully you free yourself from her arms and sat up in bed. Confused, you noticed that the place next to Ally, who was sleeping sweetly, was empty. Where was Cordelia? You carefully climbed out of bed and went to look for the blonde, only to find her in the bathroom. You crept and stopped suddenly when you saw Cordelia lying in the bathtub.

Cordelia gave you a warm smile when she saw you and you couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What's so funny?" Cordelia grinned. "You .." you uttered, still laughing. "I?"

"Yes. You .. It's two o'clock in the morning and you sit here in the dark and bathe ...". You trotted to the sink. "It's not completely dark, I lit candles ..", Cordelia defended herself. You shook your head in amusement and washed your face.

"You're sweating .." Cordelia remarked, referring to the sweat stains on your shirt. "Didn't sleep so well .." you replied curtly. "I guess you don't want to sleep again either ..?" "Nope .." You turned back to her.

"Well ... then I would love it if you kept me company here," Delia said and smiled again. You shook your head again, just grinning, before you pulled your shirt over your head and went to the tub to get into the water. Cordelia sat down so that you were sitting in front of her and your body was leaning against her bare torso. She carefully put her arms around your torso and rested her chin on your head. You lay down for a few minutes Just there and you would probably have fallen asleep had she not spoken.

"Mina told us about your dropout this afternoon .."

Of course she did..

You closed your eyes "Why don't you just tell us what's going on Y / N?" She began softly. "We're really really worried." "I can't Delia .. I've never talked about it .." you whispered. "So do you admit something is wrong?" You snorted. "Of course something is wrong .. I hit Mina."

"You know that she's not angry with you, she's just worried as I said .. You know, no matter what is on your mind, we all suffer with you, no matter whether you tell us what's going on or not .. ", Delia said and ran her wet fingers through your hair. You just nodded at her words. "You could only tell one of us if that helps you.", She offered, although she knew that this would also bring new problems. "No, I trust you all .. It's just that, as I said, I've never told anyone about it. I am just afraid of your reaction .. "you said.

"Oh y / n ..", she sighed and turned your head so that she could look you in the eye. "No matter what happened, we love you so much and nothing could change that ..". Again you nodded.

Then suddenly she got up and grabbed a towel. "What are you doing?" You asked confused when you watched her get out of the tub and dry off. "You pull the plug and get dressed ... Meanwhile, I'll wake Ally and Mina, we'll finally talk to each other .." she said and put her nightgown back on before she ran out of the bathroom.

"You won't do that, it's the middle of the night .." you shouted after her.

"I know."

You climbed out of the bathtub, trembling, and drained the water. You dried yourself off quickly and got dressed. Before you left the room, you took a quick look in the mirror. You looked like you were going to cry any minute.

"We're in the living room, Y / N .." Cordelia suddenly called. For a moment you closed your eyes, then you slowly walked into your common living room. Your 3 friends sat on the sofa and stared at you expectantly. Cordelia sat with her legs crossed, her hair wet and her short nightgown on the right end. Ally was sitting cross-legged to her left. Clad in a T-shirt and shorts, she narrowed her eyes against the light. And at the other end sat Mina, in her purple pajamas, her long red hair curling on the fabric. Her left hand held her walking stick and, as always, her gaze seemed to shine through you.

You sat in the chair in front of them when Ally held out her hand to you. "This is not a fucking interrogation Y / N ..". You carefully took her hand and she pulled you between Delia and herself. You stared nervously into your lap and played with your fingers. You could still feel their expectant looks.

"Oz looks like my little brother ..." you suddenly let out. "Is that all?" Ally asked confused. "No .." you shook your head and waited a few seconds. "..my childhood wasn't that great ... my mom had a big drinking problem I guess..". "And your father?" Cordelia asked. "Uhm, well ... he hit us when we didn't do things the way he wanted ..."

Briefly there was silence in the room. "That's awful Y / N, but what does this have to do with my son ..?" Ally finally asked.

"My brother committed suicide when he was 15 because of my parents .." you said and heard Ally take a shaky breath. "And actually I had repressed all of that over the years and when I saw Oz ... I only saw Leo ...".

You got up and walked to an unpacked box with your things. You came back with a picture, which you put into Delia's hand. It was a family photo. Delia stared hard at the photo. "Your father had a walking stick .." she said suddenly and you instinctively looked at Mina, who was staring lost at the floor. Her grip on her own walking stick had tightened so much that you could be afraid it would be squeezed by her fingers. "His left leg wasn't healthy ... that's why he hobbled ...". Delia passed the photo on to Ally, who only had eyes for the blond boy next to you. "Well .. he actually looks a bit like Oz ..", Ally only mumbled and wanted to pass the picture on to Mina, but she just shook her head. "I do not want to see this..".

Again there was brief silence and again Ally was the one breaking it. "When I told you about Ivy and said I don't want any secrets between us, I actually assumed you'd think that way too..That's why I'm kind of angry Y / N..I mean, Do you don't trust us?"

You just wanted to speak, when Cordelia came before you. "She wasn't ready yet, Ally..She-" "Cordelia, I asked Y / N and not you .." Ally hissed.

"I've never told anyone about it ..." was all you said. "But we're not just anyone .." Ally sounded disappointed. "I didn't want you guys to think wrong of me .." you said softly. Cordelia leaned forward and grabbed your hand. "What happened is not your fault .. it was your brother's decision and your parents' fault .." "But maybe I could have done more .." you whispered, tears gathering in your eyes. Cordelia just sighed and pulled you into her lap. You leaned your back against her chest and listened for her heartbeat.

"And what was yesterday?" Asked Ally. "Something must have triggered your strange behavior .." "My mother texted me .. she does that every year on my birthday .." you said.

"It was your birthday?" Ally looked at you with raised eyebrows.

You nodded briefly and made Ally moan in frustration. "If you don't even tell us that anymore, then-" "She said she would come here next week because she has to see a doctor .. She wants to meet with me .." you interrupted her. "But I don't want to see her ..", you felt tears running down your face.

Ally just shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You should have talked to us much earlier Y / N ..", Mina finally said. "Even if this is all new now, we are a family and it is our job to make sure that you are okay. We would never have left you alone with Oz, had we known about your brother .. Not just about you to protect, but also because of Oz's safety. It's important that we trust each other, we've all been through complicated things .. " You nodded guiltily again.

Cordelia cleared her throat. "The scars on your back, you told us they were from a car accident, is that true?" "No .." you said. Suddenly you felt Delia's cool fingers pulling up your shirt and exposing your scars. "Delia what-" "Shut up, Y / N .." They'd all seen your scars before, but knowing that those scars were someone's craft, made them look a lot more brutal when Delia gently ran her fingers over them. "Did he? ..- asked Mina. You nodded and tears fell into your lap as you let out a sob. "I'm sorry," you said, holding a hand over your mouth to stifle your sobs.

"Damn Y / N, stop apologizing ..". Ally jumped up, stood in front of Delia and you, pressed your head against her flat stomach and rubbed your upper back with her hand. Delia's fingers continued to slide to the scars on your side. "Was that him too?" She asked softly. "No .." you answered. "Then who was it? Your moth-" "It was her, Delia .." Mina interrupted her with closed eyes. How could they have been so blind? Such scars did not appear in car accidents.

"Is that true Y / N?", Cordelia's voice trembled when she asked. "I'm so sorry .." you sniffed at Ally's shirt. "Back then I didn't know how to deal with everything .." "Shhh princess .." Ally cooed. "Please finally stop apologizing for something you can't do anything about .."

"Honey, do you still hurt yourself sometimes?" Asked Mina, who had slipped up to you and put her hand on yours.

"I've stopped doing that since Leo's death .. I think he saw me with a knife sometimes ..". The thought of it brought new tears to your eyes and made you sob one more time.

Cordelia pulled the fabric of your shirt back down before leaning her head on your back and wrapping your arms around your waist. Mina, who was sitting next to Delia, was the only one who could see her tears as she reached out her hand to gently run through Delia's hair. "Some things are going to change now, Y / N .." she said firmly. "We'll be more careful about some things and we'll also have to see how we deal with Oz without it being uncomfortable for him or you. I'll contact your mother and make it clear to her that you don't want any more contact. We can't stop Oz looking the way he looks, but we'll help you deal with it because that's what we're here for .. ". Her thumb brushed the back of your hand, which was in her lap. That was the last thing that was said that night, but you stayed in that position for a long time. You in the midst of your worried lover

NIALL

As soon as I entered the bar, the smell of cigarettes invaded my nose. I raised it up slightly and tried to follow Millie through the mob of people already gathered near the scene. A few more were sitting at tables with a drink and I let my eyes roam around quickly until I felt a hand reach for mine. Millie squeezed my fingers and pulled on my hand gently. I was not really sure if it was so I would walk quicker or if she was just scared we'd lose each other but I squeezed her fingers back, apologizing as I pushed people on my way.

We ended up in front of the scene and I glanced back to see if anyone was pissed at us for stealing their spot until the lights turned down and everyone started screaming. Three guys appeared on stage and immediately started playing. One of them sent a smile to my best friend, greeting her with a small chin movement and a wink, and she smiled back, waving slightly.

When Millie proposed that we'd go see one of her friends' band play tonight, I didn't expect it to be in some unknown bar with a bunch of drunk losers but the atmosphere was nice and after the third song, I realized that I actually enjoyed the music even if it was not the type I normally listen to.

Millie was jumping around, dancing pretty much in the same way she did in the living room of our apartment, and it made me smile. I watched her for a few minutes until she turned around and bent down slightly to grab one of my hands. Without thinking, I pulled on it and made her twirl around. I couldn't hear her laughter but I saw her laugh when she faced me again and she pulled on my arm, inciting me to join her. We danced for a few minutes before I actually started feeling at ease but I couldn't help it and from time to time, I made her twirl around just to see her smile grown every single time.

I don't know how many songs they played or for how long but when they finally left to stage, I was panting and exhausting but the smile plastering my face wouldn't leave. We walked to the bar and its only when Millie let go of my hand to lean her elbows on the counter that I realized we had been hand in hand the whole time, even as we walked up to order drinks. It didn't bother me. In fact, it felt quite nice to get some human contact, and I stared at my friend as she ordered some fancy drink.

"So, how did you like it?" Millie asked, raising her eyebrows.

I blinked a few times, getting out of my thoughts slowly and my lips curled again. "They're amazing! How do you know them?"

Her nose raised up in a grimace and she shrugged a shoulder. "I dated the guitarist."

"Oh." I just said, a bit surprised.

He didn't seem to be her type but I didn't comment anything and just ordered a beer.

"Yea, I know. But I really liked him." she explained with a shrug, looking away.

"You don't have tio justify yourself, Mill." I pointed out, reaching for her arm and squeezing it gently.

She turned to me and sent me a smile but I jumped slightly when someone actually touched me. I turned around meeting the brown eyes of a gorgeous brunette who was sending me a smile, her head slightly tilted.

"Hey, uhm, I was wondering if you wanted to buy me a drink?"

I felt Millie's arm slip away from my hand but I remained motionless as I stared at the girl smiling at me. I was already having problems deciding between two girls, adding a third one to the story, even if only for one night, was way too much to handle at the moment. Besides, I knew she was gorgeous but for some reason, I was not attracted much. Perhaps the fact that I was not over Grace yet and that I was sort of seeing Summer didn't help but it didn't matter.

"I'm sorry, maybe an other day."

The girl's smile faltered for half a second and she finally just shrugged. "You don't know what you're missing."

She turned around and left, pushing her hair off her shoulder and it made me chuckle and shake my head. Somehow, she reminded me of Grace and it annoyed me. Was she really like Grace or was I just too obsessed with my ex girlfriend, resulting in me seeing her literally everywhere?

"Wow, that was awkward." I pointed out with an amused smile, turning to Millie who just raised her eyebrows.

"Imagine for me."

I frowned and moved my head but just as I was about to ask her what she meant, that guy from the band (and her ex boyfriend) appeared. She turned to him, sending him a big smile, and threw herself in his arms. He held her tight, lifting her of a few inches for two or three seconds and finally put her back down. I had no idea why but he was annoying me but I was not going to mention it.

I followed them to a table and somehow, as I watched them interact, I realized that I barely knew anything about the old relationships Millie had had before Louis. I couldn't understand how I had not been interested in befriending this girl before and it was crazy to think we could have had this friendship years before if we had taken the time to talk.

Millie and Peter talked for half an hour and every time he made her laugh, I frowned and I was not sure why. It was a bit scary to think she could want to go back to this guy because of how badly Louis had hurt her and at the same time, I would understand if she wanted to throw herself into something new if only to forgot or try to move on. After all, I had started some sort of relationship with Summer even if I was clearly not ready to move on from Grace.

I got out of my thoughts and held my breath when I noticed Millie leaning her head against his shoulder and just quickly got up to get an other drink. I knew it was better if I gave them some space but when I walked back to the table, Millie was getting up. I frowned as she turned to me and sent me a smile and I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Do you want to leave?"

"If it's okay with you."

I nodded and took a long sip of my beer before handing it to her. She smiled a bit and took it from my hand, swallowing what was left and leaving it on the table.

"Thank you."

"Of course, pet."

I was expecting her to complain about the nickname but she just walked past me and I followed her until we were out of the bar. We remained silent for a while as we walked to my car and after a while, I just licked my lips and glanced at her.

"Did something happen with Peter?" I asked softly, making her turn around and frown at me. "You seem... I don't know... sad."

Millie avoided my gaze and brought her shoulder up as she wrapped her arms around her waist. Without thinking, I took my hoodie off and handed it to her. She stopped walking and looked at the navy sweater in my hands before shaking her head slightly.

I didn't insist but let my arm fall down next to me with a sigh. "What's wrong, Mill?"

She sighed too but turned around to keep walking. It's only when we reached my car that she leaned her butt against it and closed her eyes. I took a step closer in an attempt to hide her from the cool wind and waited.

"That girl earlier, the one who flirted with you." she paused and licked her lips, keeping her eyes closed. "She knew someone like you would never date someone like me. It didn't even cross her mind that we could be together, even if we had danced together, even if we held hands and even if you were holding my arm when she arrived. She knew. And I know I normally don't give much attention to these things but... it hurt. This time, it really hurt."

"That girl was entitled and a bit stupid." I explained, moving closer and putting my hands on her shoulders. "That's probably why she flirted. I also know a few girls who really dont care if the guy is taken or not. To be quite honest, she most likely didn't even notice you! She was probably obsessed with how handsome I am."

"Oh shut up!" Millie laughed, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

"Mill, anyone would be lucky to date you."

"Oh yea? So you'd date an average fat girl?"

My traits softened and in the way she had talked, I could hear all the pain she was feeling at the moment. It was crazy how I seemed to connect to Millie, probably because both our hearts were broken and we could understand each other.

"You know who I'd date? I'd date someone I love, someone I trust. I'd date someone who cares about me, and that I care about. Someone who listens to me, makes me laugh, someone empathic, kind... someone who helps me become a better person, a better version of myself. Someone I'm at ease with and feel safe around. Someone I connect with. It doesn't matter if that person is fat or skinny, tall or short, Blonde or brunette. It's not what matters."

Millie stared in my eyes for about a minute, nibbling on her bottom lip and finally licked it.

"Wow, I always thought you were shallow." she admitted in a very low tone, making me raise my eyebrows.

"What? Why?"

She raised her nose up, a bit embarrassed by her word and finally shrugged a shoulder. "Because of the type of girls you date."

"God I hate when you day that." I confessed, letting my hands slip on her arms and fall on each side of me. "I hate that you think I'm like that. When you mentioned it at the bar, it really hurt me, or annoyed me. Or both. That's why I picked Summer, because she was the complete opposite of the description you gave of my 'type'." I added, doing quotation marks with my fingers as I said the last word. "I don't want you to see me as a shallow man who cares only about the body or whatever."

"I don't see you like that." she whispered. My eyes met hers and my heart skipped a beat. "I mean, I used to, it's true. But in the past few weeks, I got to know you and... I love what I see, Niall. You're a good guy with a heart of gold. You're funny, smart, open-minded... And that thing you said about the person you'd date? That was deep, I love it."

Slowly, my lips curled on the right and I nodded. I suddenly felt lighter, knowing that Millie didn't see me as a horrible and shallow person anymore.

"I was wrong about you, Niall."

"Yea, I was wrong about you too."

Without thinking, I wrapped my arms around her neck and pulled her closer. I felt her hands on my back and leaned my cheek against her head for a while before finally pulling away and bending down slightly to look in her eyes.

"Ready to go home?"

"Fuck yes." she chuckled, nodding frenetically. "I need my sweatpants and a warm tea!"

"You can still put my hoodie on, you know." I proposed with a smile as I walked around the car.

"I told you, Niall, your clothes don't fit me."

I lost my smile, not knowing what to answer, and finally just opened the door to sit behind the wheel. When we walked back home, Millie walked to her room and I walked to mine, putting sweatpants and a t-shirt on before searching through my drawers. I walked back to the living room, seeing my friend already sitting on the couch wearing pretty much the same outfit as me. I sat next to her and handed her an other hoodie, making her frown.

"Please, try it on."

Her gaze moved from the hoodie to my eyes, then back at the hoodie. She licked her lips nervously and finally grabbed it and put it on very quickly. A big smile drew itself on my lips when she raised her eyebrows, staring at the front of the shirt she was now wearing.

"Perfect." I pointed out in a low tone. Her head moved up quickly and her eyes met mine before I leaned against the couch, still looking at her. "It's yours, now."

I watched her traits soften and her expression change into a loving one. She tilted her head again and brought her shoulders closer to her cheeks as she nibbled on her bottom lip some more. "Thanks, Niall."

"You're totally welcome."

I placed my arm on my thigh, palm up and fingers spread. A bigger smile appeared on her lips and she placed her hand in mine before we intertwined our fingers together. I started the next episode of a new tv show we were watching together and smiled more when I felt her head on my shoulder.

I thought about Grace suddenly, and then about Summer. It made me realize we hadn't talked about them or about Louis at all on that evening, and that the lists we were supposed to fill were totally forgotten but somehow, it made me feel good. I didn't want to think about it, I didn't want to feel nervous about the fact that I was supposed to pick the girl I wanted to be with in less than three days.

I also felt like Millie was happier when we didn't mention Louis and I just hoped he wouldn't show up while we were watching tv together, knowing it would literally ruin Millie's night.

We would probably fill the lists on the next day and I found comfort in the thought of sharing that with Millie. I don't know what I'd do if I'd have to go through all of this by myself.

After a while, I felt Millie's head heavier on my shoulder and noticed that her breathing had slowed down. I looked at her, trying not to move too much to make sure I wouldn't wake her up, and noticed she was asleep, her lips slightly parted. I don't know how long I stayed motionless with Millie sleeping against me but eventually I fell asleep too, realizing I hadn't felt that light and happy in a very long time.

Wander Over Yonder Hypothetical Season 3/Sequel Ideas: Lord Dominator

Hello all, today I’ve decided to revisit one of the greatest, yet underappreciated, Disney Shows of all time, Wander Over Yonder. Beloved by many, with the creators wanting to make the show more than just a time-slot filler, the show was none-the-less ordered canceled by the Network, ending plans for the future, though maybe not permanently if Craig McCracken has anything to say about it. Anywho, this is my thoughts on what a season 3 for the show, or a sequel, could look like. Everybody clap your hands!!

I will detail how I think each of the known main characters would be like in Season 3/the sequel, starting with Dominator. Note, I will be basing this off of notes and hints from creators, but it won’t necessarily follow along with what they had planned.

Picking up where the show left off, with her marching off in a huff through the void of space (it makes sense in context), Dominator... is angry, stressed, and has no clue what she is actually doing. She’s lost everything, and the only things she has are the clothes on her back and some fruit she snagged from Wander’s gift basket to her. Dominator’s place in the story, to me, would mostly deal with how the loss of everything would affect her life and her status in the galaxy. She can’t just run off somewhere else and avoid the consequences too her actions anymore, as she presumably did in the past. Now, she has nothing but her brains and her fighting skills, which she will definitely need.

While most of the galaxy is content with trying to rebuild after her rampage, some of the more spiteful and thuggish personalities feel like laying into the intergalactic bully. In between trying to find her footing in the new galaxy, Dominator is often routinely attacked by mercenaries, bandits, and just everyday punks. While she at first enjoys the fights, seeing them as a nice breakup to her new normal and a way to distract herself from her problems, the nonstop barrage gradually wears on her, until she finally snaps and demands why “all you losers keep coming after me!? It’s not even fun anymore!!”

The answer she gets? Because they can. People in the galaxy, bar those who’ve been directly touched by Wander’s kindness and empathy, HATE Dominator, and have no problem with making her life more miserable than it already is because they can do so without repercussions. Most of those who are attacking her know they don’t stand a chance against her, and are just doing so because it makes her life more difficult, if only marginally. Despite her best efforts to hide it, the confirmation that people so deeply despise her that they are willing to get beaten senseless just to mildly inconvenience her is deeply rattling to the dangerous woman.

Dominator often runs into Wander, Hater, Sylvia and the rest fairly regularly, or at least semi-regularly, and gets sucked into whatever shenanigans are currently going on, much to her frustration. Hater often lords her losses over her, being obnoxious and overbearing about it all even when Dominator pummels him for it. Sylvia is slightly hostile but ultimately dismissive of Dominator, focusing more on whatever is currently going on and brushing off Dominator at every chance, much to her ire. Wander, much to Dominator’s continued surprise, is just as kind, friendly, and patient as ever, and while still attempting to befriend her, he often is less overbearingly attentive and in her face about it.

Due to not having to deal with Wander’s shenanigans being aimed at herself anymore, Dominator is more at ease around him, occasionally letting slip bits and pieces about her past and herself, though she’ll immediately double back and deny it, not that it ever fools Wander. To go along with the official plans, my theory is that Dominator didn’t have any particularly tragic backstory; she was just a lonely kid who had trouble connecting with others, not helped by her interest in less than savory topics, subjects, and hobbies.

As she got older, and still remained isolated, Dominator grew more angry and aggressive with others, and when she saw that it not only made her feel better when she let her feelings out but that it also caused people to finally notice and pay attention to her, which filled her with glee. As she got older, Dominator kept escalating, looking for bigger and bigger ways to lash out, to get the attention she craved and release her pent up anger and aggression, not to mention her genuine enjoyment of destruction, violence, and so on. In the end, I believe Dominator never grew up from that lonely girl who no one paid attention to or wanted around.

I firmly believe that Dominator will eventually agree to Wander’s offer of friendship because, in the end, it’s all she ever wanted, people who were there for her, who cared about her, and so on. It’s helped by the fact that every so often she remembers the looks on the people’s faces during that final battle, the looks of tentative hope, empathy, understanding, and kindness. She won’t agree at first, or even soon. The wound is to raw and her pride won’t allow it. But she will eventually reach out, either on her own, or on one of the many attempts Wander will doubtlessly make to befriend her. I’d like to think it would happen around either the halfway point of the season/sequel, or at the three-quarters mark.

I am also a Death Star, that is to say Wander x Dominator, Shipper, but that has no bearing on what I think S3/the Sequel would be like.

The Holy Quintet in Twisted Wonderland! (all 7 dorms - Part 3)

This is Sayaka’s reaction to the other dorms! Apologies for the delay. RL and work are starting to get real hectic again. Also, a big shoutout to @lionheartanotheraccount for brainstorming with me over at Discord and help me out a lot at fleshing this crossover. If any of you guys want to just talk and have fun about this crossover series, I’m more than happy to talk over at Discord!

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed Sayaka’s reaction!

Miki Sayaka & the other dorms (except Heartslabyul)

SAVANACLAW!

Sometimes when the gang needed to lay-low from Riddle’s anger, Sayaka, Ace and Deuce would hang out at the Savanaclaw dorm until curfew. Or until Cater and Trey come to pick them if they’re too loud and rowdy that Leona had to call the Heartslabyul seniors to deal with them.

Kyouko lets them chill in her room only if each of them bring a tribute (food or drinks) for her and then the four of them would spend hours playing and goofing off.

Jack would join them after his workouts or if he doesn’t have to help Ruggie attend Leona. The wolf boy helps restrain the four of them from doing anything too stupid or crazy most of the time (and if he can’t, he’ll begrudgingly help hide the evidences).

Sayaka’s personal favourite place to hang out at the Savanaclaw dorm is their lounge because of the small waterfall and pool of water, with some greeneries and tall cool shades scattered around. Perfect to laze about after a hard day of classes.

At first, the Savanaclaw students that often hang around the lounge felt restless at having an interloper intruding their territory. It’s only after Sayaka learn to be respectful and know her place as an outsider that they were comfortable with her. It helps that the boys of Savanaclaw dorm know just how close the Heartslabyul Knight is to their Savanaclaw Brawler.

Sayaka is just tomboyish enough that she reminds Jack of his littlest sister. Small yet always hard-working and spunky. Always trying her best, whether in classes or her magical training. Jack admires her for that.

Ruggie knows that nothing but shenanigans await him whenever he sees Sayaka bring Ace and Deuce to Kyouko. He finds her knight-like personalities amusing as more often than not, she seems to attract trouble. But after seeing her swordmanship and how she uses the water around her to fight, Ruggie suppose she’s often get out of trouble easily as she got into them. He could only hope that she won’t join Kyouko in trashing their stadium. Kyouko alone does tons of damage during her fits of anger.

Loud and noisy herbivore. That’s what Leona think of Sayaka. Sure she’s cute and all and could hold her ground against Kyouko (and probably a few of the Savanaclaw students to boot) in a fight, but the moment she starts sprouting her reason for fighting (to fight for the weak, for justice and etc), Leona just tunes her out.

When he laid it to her of the old and true principle of the wild - how the strong would always devour the weak - Sayaka’s reaction took him by surprise. He thought that the girl would bristle, argued back, but she was genuinely stunned before smiling fondly.

“Ne, I thought you were kinda of a jerk, Kingscholar-senpai. Always bully Bucchi-senpai, making him run after you. But you know what? I think I want to get to know you a lot more! So let’s hang out, Kingscholar-senpai!”

That... that did not go what Leona thought their conversation would.

From that day onwards, Sayaka would ‘annoyed’ Leona whenever she sees him. Calling and waving at him from across the courtyard, sitting beside him in the greenhouse when he’s trying to nap and etc. The best part is, no matter how hard Leona tries to chase her away, she would run with a stupid and happy grin on her face and come back the next day. Ruggie snickers but there was nothing that they could do about it.

In the end, Leona just lets her do whatever she wants. Just don’t bother him while he’s napping.

(Oh Leona, Kyouko sprout the same bullshit to Sayaka when they first met. And look where they are now! So be prepared to be tackled by a rumbustious Sayaka from now).

(Now Sayaka and Cheka will do their best to smother our poor lion boi with hugs. Leona does not appreciate this).

OCTAVINELLE!

The students that captivated Sayaka the most at NRC are actually those from Octavinelle. Her eyes shine in awe and delight when she saw a group of mermen for the first time ever during Swim practise.

(At this point, each girls already joined a club and for some reason that she couldn’t explain, Sayaka was drawn to the Swimming Club. That’s where she meet many Octavinelle students).

The way how they transform from human to their true form as soon as they hit the pool took her breath away. Their beautiful tails mesmerised her as they swim laps around the large pool.

(Homura looks constipated whenever Sayaka gushes about mermaids and etc, but Sayaka knows better than to ask what’s her deal is. She knows that the other girl would just shut her mouth if she asked anyway).

Despite her Heartslabyul seniors warned her about the Dorm Leader and Vice Dorm Leader of Octavinelle (and a wild twin brother), Sayaka really wanted to see the inside of Octavinelle. She heard that their dorm is actually underwater!

She tried befriending some Octavinelle students, but with Ace and Deuce constantly at her sides, they tend to make a fuss or push them away; so what if the Octavinelle students can breathe underwater. They’re a lot cooler!

(Yes, these dumbasses would be jealous that Sayaka would want to befriend other boys not from their circle of first-year friends).

Her club members find her fascination with them adorable. She’s earnest with her questions, eager to learn about their cultures and the feelings would soon turn mutual.

At first, when Sayaka proved to not only them and herself that she could easily keep up with them underwater even when they’re in their true form, the Octavinelle students were surprised.

Slowly, Sayaka and the rest of the club members discover that she can also breathe underwater without the use of a potion when they were going through multiple laps in the pool! The guys were very eager to help her discover what else she could she do that involves water. Nessless to day that Sayaka is having a lot of fun in her club.

As her club members help her discover the extent of what her magic could do, rumours began to circulating around NRC that one of the girls is actually a mermaid. Heck, she could even fight using her swords underwater without a problem! The rumours soon reach the mermafia.

It was easy to figured out which girl that everyone is talking about since only one of them are in the Swimming Club.

Azul wanted to know if Sayaka’s Unique Magic involves the sea and water and if she could actually transform into a mermaid without using a potion. Perhaps that’s her Unique Magic. So he sends out the Leech Twins to befriend her.

Jade and Floyd approach her in the cafeteria while she was having lunch with Ace and Deuce. The two boys were immediately on guard when they sat down and boxed Sayaka between them. Jade broke the ice by telling her that they’re merfolks and heard her interest in learning more about life under the sea and the cultures of merfolks; he’s happy to teach her all he knows. Floyd sweeten his twin brother’s offer by inviting her to the Coral Sea so they could show her around. Sayaka didn’t hesitate to accept their offer, despite Ace and Deuce strongly tells her not to.

One day after they made the offer, the Leech Twins invite Sayaka to their dorm lounge where the three of them talk for hours (Sayaka it at awe over the decor of the dorm). Eventually, Azul join in on the conversation. Don’t worry, Ace and Deuce are there with her. Honestly, they grow bored of the conversation after 15 minutes, but they remain and did not interrrupt because Sayaka was having fun learning about the merfolks.

When they exhaust the conversation, Azul explains with a welcoming smile that now they indulge in her curiosity and questions, would Sayaka please do the same for them? It’s fair, after all.

It is only fair, Sayaka thinks. The guys have been very patience with her inquiries and Jade even made sure to always supply them with snacks and drinks throughout their conversation, so sure! Ask away!

They let Floyd ask first: this boy wanted to know if he and Sayaka can have a swimming race. Winner can squeeze the loser as long as they want. Thinking that squeeze = friendly hugs, Sayaka easily agreed.

The mermafia started off by asking easy questions first; what is her world like? Doesn’t it have creatures other than humans? Then they will start asking her about her life as a Magical Girl: How did she become a Magical Girl? Oh, she made a wish and for it to be granted, she needed to be a Magical Girl and fight Witches? That sounds interesting! Do tell them more.

It’s Ace who actually felt uncomfortable with Sayaka telling the mermafia about her magic and stuff. So while the mermafia and her are busy talking, Ace texted Kyouko. He told her where they are right now and what they were doing.

Sayaka was just about to explain what she knows about Soul Gems (and thank goodness that it isn’t a lot), when Kyouko suddenly calls her. She put her phone on mute and was about to continue with the conversation, but Kyouko insist in blowing up her phone until she picks up her call.

The mermafia could do nothing but wait for Sayaka to wrap up her call. Kyouko call and ask her and Adeuce to meet up with her at Savanaclaw. Right now. It’s important.

So with a heavy heart, Sayaka informed the mermafia that they have to go now. If they linger, Kyouko would definitely come to Octavinelle dorm. Azul knows that the Savanaclaw Brawler must’ve caught wind that Sayaka is with them right now so is trying to interfere. So he has to begrudgingly let her and her friend go, but he wasn’t too upset. Since they already became friends and establish a good rapport with her, Azul is certain that he can always ask her about her magic next time. Maybe when she’s alone.

SCARABIA!

After a particularly gruelling exam, Sayaka is in need for some serious heavy-duty distraction from stressing out over her grades and results. No matter how much Madoka tried to console her, Sayaka just can’t turn her anxiety off.

So Kalim’s invitation to his upcoming party come just at the right time! Not only that, he also invited all of her friends too so she’s looking forward to having fun with everyone.

(She’s not looking forward to mingled with Homura, though. She knows that the other girl would be there since the party will be at Scarabia but she’s not going to let Homura spoil her fun).

Sayaka is just giddy with excitement until the day of the party finally arrives. When she, Ace and Deuce appear at Scarabia for the first time, it takes them some time to get used to the hot weather and wind. Her eyes widen when nearly everyone in NRC have come for the party!

Madoka came with her Diasomnia group (she made sure to personally bring Kalim’s invitation and handed it to Malleus so he’s there with them. It’s hard to tell, but Malleus is very happy to be included for once). Kyouko with Leona, Ruggie and Jack (Leona got his ass up for once since Kalim’s feasts and banquets are something you can’t ever missed out on). Mami was accompined by the Pomefiore trio (Vil wants the first-year students to practise their etiquette and dining manners during parties and Rook never passed out on the opportunity to observe the Savanaclaw and Octavinelle students in a relaxed environment while their guards are down).

Even the Heartslabyul seniors later made their appearance. Soon enough, Cater is fluttering about, taking pictures of the food and drinks, decoration, students dancing and roped many people in for his selfies. Trey is sampling desserts from the Land of Hot Sands with a thoughtful expression; probably planning to try baking new desserts later. Riddle is there at a much quitter corner, talking to Vil. Both of them are sipping on the local teas from the Land of Hot Sands.

Food and drinks laden the tables in abundance. Music blared from everywhere, studens dance to the tune and their friends cheer them on. After having her fill of delicious food and sweet juice drinks, Sayaka couldn’t help but join in on the dance floor.

Kalim later join in too and uses his Oasis Maker to shower them all. Sayaka dances and manipulate the water, unintentionally creating a water show. This excites Kalim and he dances along with her. it was a spectacular sight and everyone loved it. She and Kalim were a sight to behold! Cater is snapping pictures and recording their dance for the internet to see.

The party continues to the evening but at this point, students are slowly trickling out; thanking Kalim and Jamil for such amazing party right after the exam. Looks like not just Sayaka needed something to melt the tension away. Madoka was the first one to leave with her dorm members (they’re planning to have a picnic in the morning and Sayaka and the rest are more than welcome to join), then it’s Kyouko with her Savanaclaw members (Leona sacrifice his nap for the party so he’s in some serious neep for some long hours of dozing) and soon after, Mami also left (the Pomefiore students need to head back to start their nightly skincare routine. Vil made sure none of his dorm students is left behind).

Throughout the party, Homura did made herself known. She sticks close by to Madoka but otherwise didn’t join in on their conversation too much and let the pink-haired girl mingle around with the rest of the students. It was a surprise to Sayaka that Homura didn’t watch over Madoka lika a hawk.

When Sayaka rejoin Ace and Deuce at the dining table, she spotted Homura talking to Kalim. Kalim had a big smile on his face but when she blinks, Homura vanishes and Kalim is left looking astound but then just scratch his head, clearly surprise that he’s suddenly is left standing alone. Sayaka would not stand for it. So she decide to eat later and console the Dorm Leader.

“Hey, don’t be sad, alright Al-Asim-san? Homura can be a real jerk and leave you hanging just like that. Even after you invite her to your party, too...”

“Eh?”

Kalim is suddenly taken aback at Sayaka’s harsh words. He wasn’t expecting for Sayaka to walk up to him like that.

Sayaka was actually trying to comfort Kalim but what she didn’t realise is that she nonchalantly and absentmindedly bad mouthed Homura in the process. And this was something that displeased Kalim.

Kalim then interrupted her; a rare frown on his face. He didn’t raise his voice, but ask Sayaka to stop insulting Homura. Before Sayaka could recover from her shock, Kalim went on to tell her that Homura is actually a nice girl but is having trouble expression herself and that there’s more to her than what she shows. While Kalim is on a tirade, clearly defensive over his dorm mate, Sayaka didn’t expect for him to feel so strongly over her.

Kalim explains that Homura actually help them out a lot in the kitchen and other preparations for the party. She even uses her magic to cut the entire process short, so the other Scarabia students wouldn’t have to spend so much time getting ready. Kalim readily admitted that he doesn’t exactly know how she does it, but the fact that she help Jamil and the rest without even asked already tells him everything he needs about her and to Kalim? That’s enough. And beside, she had came up to him to be excuse before vanshing.

Jamil smoothly join them (he was lingering nearby, instructing the other Scarabia students to begin cleaning up when he saw Kalim’s frown and that set him on alert) and addressed Kalim first. There was still some leftover food in the kitchen and he needs him to decide whether they put them away in the pantry or wrapped up the food to give them to the other dorms as gifts. Kalim snap to attention, smiling once more and went off to do as Jamil told him to. His previous frown already gone.

After the Dorm Leader left, Jamil broke Sayaka out of her stupor. Quietly, he made it clear whatever beef Sayaka has with Homura is none of his business. But as a Vice Dorm Leader and as someone who knows how it feel to be judge by ignorant people just because of their Unique Magic, Jamil chatise Sayaka for being being ignorant. One that he wouldn’t tolerate if she was his friend. If Sayaka treated him like how she treats Homura, then he will make sure that Sayaka will regret it and that she should be thankful that Homura is not like him. And with that, he left the girl alone with her thoughts.

Sayaka shivers at Jamil’s threat. His words plant the seed of doubts in her. Is Homura truly more than she seems? She’s silent when Riddle called for his dorm mates to follow him back to their place and throughout the night, Sayaka found herself unable to sleep because of what just happened.

All in all, the Scarabia duo intrigued her. Kalim and Jamil relationship dynamic is an odd one (Sayaka could see the similarity to Homura and Madoka friendship and that just weirded her out) but since Kalim harbour no ill feelings towards Sayaka after the party and Sayaka made sure to apologise to him for bad mouthing his dorm mate, these two actually get along. She, Kalim and Silver are the airheaded trio, much to the exasperation of Jamil.

Jamil does not consider Sayaka a friend, but tolerates her presence whenever she’s around Kalim and Sayaka is alright with that. She doesn’t think she could ever truly get used to someone like him and Homura. However, Jamil’s words (and threat) made her see Homura in a different light from that day onwards. Their relationship is still cold but her suspicion on Homura is lessen.

Kalim thinks that Sayaka is a kind hearted and amazing girl. He really enjoys dancing with her and despite how she insulted Homura, Kalim knew that she was just thinking of him. Wanting to make him feel better. It’s just a simple misunderstanding that’s all.

POMEFIORE!

Sayaka has no idea what she had unleash when she dances with Kalim under the shower of Oasis Maker during his party.

Not only did she and Kalim gain instant popularity in the world of the internet and wowed the students that attended the party with their watershow, their dance remain in the thoughts of a particular Dorm Leader who was looking for inspirations for his next fashion show.

So a few days after the party, Vil instruct Rook to capture Sayaka and bring her to him. Rook happily comply for his Queen.

It’s a Sunday afternoon and Sayaka - along with a couple of Heartslabyul NPCs - are tasked with trimming the rose hedges in the maze. Ace and Deuce had their own chores to do for the day with feeding the colourful hedgehogs and pink flamingoes.

(Even from the rose maze, Sayaka could hear Ace and Deuce shrieking from the distance and decided that nope. Not her problem this time.)

While she was doing the finishing touches and her dorm mates are watering the greenery, Rook suddenly pop out from behind the green wall she was attending. Needless to say that his sudden appearance made her scream. Hers are louder than Ace and Deuce’s.

Rook simply smile in amusement at her reaction. While Sayaka is desperately trying to calm her frighten and racing heart, he tips his hat and introduces himself as Pomefiore’s Vice Dorm Leader and an extrodionary hunter. He also unabashedly added that he also sees himself as Mami’s older brother.

That got Sayaka’s attention real quick.

This Magical Girl wanted to know just what kind of person that Mami would look up to as her older brother. Prey now baited, Rook kept his smile and told her that if she’s curious about him - just as much as he is curious about her - why don’t she follow him to Pomefiore?

(Oh Sayaka, you need to learn not to follow handsome boys to their place without knowing their true intentions. Ace and Deuce are gonna tear their hair out in frustration because of your ignorance).

When Sayaka agreed to follow him to Pomefiore since she’s done with her chores for the day, Rook decided to be a little extra. With a beaming smile, he scoop her up in his arms and chuckles when Sayaka immediately blushes. He ignored the other Heartslabyul students shouting at him to put their Knight down and leap off towards his dorm.

Sayaka felt like she was being carried by a tornado - albeit a gentle, handsome and charming tornado - when he finally put her back onto the ground as soon as they’re inside of Pomefiore. Her blush remains when Rook asks her if she’s alright. Never before had a boy ever treated her as if she was a princess. She prays that her heart remain strong if all the boys in Pomefiore are as prince-like as Rook.

“Ah, as expected of you Rook. You’ve brought Riddle’s Knight to me in perfect condition. Good job.”

“I always strive to live up to your expectation, my Roi de Poison”

There, waiting for them at the dorm lounge is Vil and Mami. Mami smile and greeted Sayaka, but since this is the first time that Sayaka witness Vil in all his glory and dorm uniform, she could only gape at the sight of the most beautiful man that she has ever seen.

Vil was not amused at her gawking like a goldfish, though he acknowledge and praise Sayaka for knowing true beauty when she sees one. While Sayaka is trying to recover from her blunder and flustered so adorably, he ushered her and Rook to join him at the couch. Mami patted the empty space beside her and Rook handed Sayaka a tea cup and Vil began to explain why he wanted her here.

Ever since Mami shown her Magical Girl dress to him and more and more of her friends are coming over to Pomefiore, Vil has been itching to put the girls on the runway with him.

(Vil didn’t notice it, but the word ‘runway’ nearly had Sayaka choke on her tea).

Vil continue to explain to both Sayaka and Mami that he had use his connections and contacted several well-known fashion designers and is preparing for this season fashion show, fully expecting to have the girls well trained to walk on the runway with him.

Sayaka felt like dying in the inside when the Dorm Leader showed them his sketch book. He had drawn Sayaka and the rest of the girls in various style of dressess and poses. Absolute gorgeous dressess, but Sayaka had never worn something as fancy as them!

She interrupted him, stating that despite her magical girl outfit, she’s a bit of a tomboy and is rough around the edges (her fighthing style can be as brutal as Kyouko’s) so she can’t possible pull off those dresses!

Vil scoffed and told her that he would trained her and the girls on how to walk and pose like a model. By the time the fashion show arrive, Sayaka would be as graceful as Mami.

Seeing Sayaka’s distress increasing, Mami suggest to give her some time to get used to Vil’s proposal as she had never done something like this before. It’s only natural that Sayaka is apprehensive of it.

(Bless Mami for shielding Sayaka from Vil’s attention. Rook is just smiling to himself throughout the conversation).

Soon enough, the Dorm Leader and Vice Dorm Leader of Pomefiore left the girls alone as they need to attend to their duties. Sayaka thanked Mami for covering her. Despite how Vil appear to be completely otherworldly at their first meeting, Mami explain to Sayaka that although Vil can be quite harsh on them, all he wants is his dorm mates to be the best that they can be. Sayaka find that she couldn’t fault that kind of wish.

However, when Epel barged into the dorm lounge, angry that Vil demanded that he return to Pomefiore since he deemed that Epel had been spending too much time at Savanaclaw, he made it very clear to Sayaka how he feel about his Dorm Leader.

At the end of the day, Sayaka decide that despite how beautiful the students of Pomefiore are, having someone as Vil and Rook running the place suddenly makes Sayaka glad that Riddle and Trey are her Dorm Leader and Vice Dorm Leader. Despite the many rules of Heartslabyul, at least Riddle appreciate her effort in trying to keep up with them. Even when she mucks up half of the time.

After their proper meeting and observing her with her friends, Vil actually finds Sayaka’s idealistinc worldview troublesome. She’s naive, reckless and can be blunt (but at least she’s not at Kalim’s level so Vil thinks there’s hope for her to be brought down to reality without too much of a heartache). He also finds her pretty and firmly believes that he can push her to be beautiful and powerful. He likens her to an unpolished sapphire that oddly reminded Vil of the clearest blue sea and that hides horror underneath.

Rook actually always wanted to fight against a knight. A match between a hunter and a knight; he always wonder who would win. Fortunately for him, Sayaka humours his request for the occasional spar and is delighted to find that her fighting style is completely different from Mami. While Mami dances as she fight, Sayaka is direct, brutal and loves to throw multiple swords at him. His keen eyes once spotted that when the tip of his arrow graze her cheek and a line of blood trickle down, he merely blink once and the cut completely vanishes. By the end of the fight, Rook suspect that Sayaka’s magic might actually might involve healing. He can’t wait to observe her!

As for Epel, he gets along with her (since they’re all in the same gang despite coming from different dorms) and admire how she uses her sword to fight. Epel is just happy that Mami, Sayaka and Kyouko are willing to help him get stronger.

IGNIHYDE!

Sayaka was walking back to Heartslabyul once her classes were done for the day when she spotted someone skulking around the hallways. Now, normally she wouldn’t really notice a random student walking through the hallways but what caught her attention is that his hair was on fire!

This girl literally shriek, drop her books and bag on the floor and rush like mad to save this poor student.

Poor Idia Shroud shriek like a banshee when someone tackled him from behind, the both of them tumble onto the floor. He was manhandled and turned around so he could face the student who suddenly tackled him. Immediately his face turn red when it’s one of Homura’s friend. Not only that, it’s the Heartslabyul Knight herself. Idia bemoan internally; he knew he shouldn’t step out of his room today!

“Don’t worry, senpai! I’ll save you!”

“W-What!? Oh, please - g-get off me!”

Idia’s pitiful pleas fall on deaf ears, however. Sayaka is too busy glaring at the blue flames on this student’s head. She transform the ring on her finger into her Soul Gem and thrust it to Idia’s hair. The Dorm Leader could only yelp and gurgled when he’s suddenly being assaulted by a stream of rushing water, nearly drowning him.

10 minutes later, the aftermath of Sayaka’s ‘rescue’ attempt left an unconscious and bald Idia. Well, for about 5 seconds before blue flames blazes his head again. Cue Sayaka thrusting her Sould Gem to the flames again but this time, she was suddenly haul up and away from the prone Idia by Trey and Cater.

The two Heartslabyul seniors was at the right time and place to catch their junior suddenly high-tail away from the path to their dorm and towards Idia. Without hesitating or even questioning it, they quickly ran after her. It’s too bad that they weren’t quick enough to stop Sayaka from dousing Idia with water though.

Sayaka blink when she was suddenly haul away from Idia like a cat. When she tilt her head up to see that it was Trey looking so done with everything, she quickly said, “Clover-senpai! Clover-senpai, you have to let me go! That student is in danger! His head is on fire!”

Trey would’ve facepalm if he could. So instead, he patiently reply, “That’s actually his hair, Miki-chan. He never was in any danger.” Well, until you attacked him, but Trey is kind enough not to say that out loud.

“Huh?”

Despite the absurdity of the situation, Cater laugh and snap a quick selfie of himself and the unconscious and wet Idia before assuring Trey that he’ll take Idia to the infirmary.

As Sayaka, Trey and the rest of the students who were there to witnessed the spectacle, watch Cater dragged poor Idia off, Sayaka began to feel bad. So bad that her eyes began to watered a little.

“I... I didn’t know. I didn’t know, Clover-senpai! I thought he was hurt! I - ”

“Hey, hey, calm down Miki-chan. I know you meant well. Once Idia-san wake up, how about you go visit him and apologise, hmm?”

Sayaka eagerly nodded, loudly promising that she will do that as soon as Idia wakes up.

(To Trey, this is just like that time when Riddle Overblotted. Good God, is this girl gung-ho about helping people. He would need to sit down with Sayaka and try to talk to her into not jumping into conclusions first later. For the sake of the other students).

After that incident, poor Idia is a little afraid of Sayaka (despite how sincere her apologies are) even when Homura casually informed him that among them, Miki Sayaka is the weakest. Well, that day when she tackled him to the ground, it sure didn’t feel that she was weak!

Sayaka felt so bad that she would constantly barge into Ignihyde and ask if there’s anything she could do for Idia. She didn’t judge his hermit-style of living; she’s just too focus in making up to the Dorm Leader. In the end, Idia had her run errands for him (buying snacks, help him pass his notes to teachers and etc) just to get her to leave him and his dorm alone.

It took a long time for Idia to finally warm up to Sayaka. Her cheerful disposition is just too much for him to handle sometimes.

Ortho share the same wariness over Sayaka like his older brother. All he knows about her is the student who attacked his dear, older brother after all. Sayaka has her work cut out for her before the Shroud Brother could be comfortable with her.

As for Sayaka, after she patched up with the Shroud Brothers, she finds his hair actually amazing. Not only does she and Idia share the same hair coloured but his are actual flames! So cool! Maybe she can do the same too?

(Riddle sternly dissuade her from turning her hair into flames. Lighting your hair with fire is against the rule).

DIASOMNIA!

Sayaka’s first interaction with the Diasomnia gang is during Alchemy class. On that day, her partner is Sebek Zigvolt.

Their partnership started out fine. As Divus made his round in the lab, Sayaka steadily stir the potion in their cauldron while Sebek grab the require ingredients from the shelves. Everything started off alright.

Until a misunderstood occur. Sebek didn’t actually insulted Madoka’s shy and timid nature but his words can be quite harsh and Sayaka took it wrongly. So she stop stirring to confront of him, it quickly turn into an argument and voices were raised. With their voices raised, Sebek and Sayaka failed to hear Divus’ shout of warning.

They were too late to react when the cauldron somehow growl and then exploded the liquid all over Sebek, Sayaka and several students who were nearby. The consequences were immediate. Sebek and Sayaka’s voices are swampped and so of those who were caught in the crossfire.

Class was forced to end early because the professor had to check over the students that were doused by Sayaka and Sebek’s half-baked potion for any injuries or hamrful side effects. So far only their voices were swapped with their partners.

Then it’s detention for the two of them while Divus now have to brew an antidote.

(When words reach to their respective Dorm Leaders, Riddle was not amused that Sayaka landed herself in detention over something as silly as an argument and negligence. Though detention with Divus Crewel is enough of a punishment, so Riddle won’t punish her. Malleus just blink when Lilia told him that rigid and proper Sebek has detention because of an argument during his Alchemy class. It’s rare for Sebek to land himself in detention, so Malleus didn’t chatise him. Just told him to be careful next time. Cue Sebek crying in gratitude over his kind and wise lord. His crying woke Silver up from his nap).

Even though she shouldn’t, Madoka felt a little guilty that her friends has detention because of her. Lilia was quick to assure their Fairy that it’s totally not her fault. Sayaka and Sebek just had a bit too much fun that’s all!

Despite their initial meeting, the two actually bonded during detention (as punishment, they had to go into the woods to gather some herbs, flowers and other ingredients for Divus to replace the ones that were lost during the explosion).

Since Sebek is a lot more familiar with the floral and fauna of TW, Sayaka was more than OK at listening to his instructions and Sayaka surprised Sebek when she easily slice the sturdy tree barks that they needed with her sword. Slowly, the two learn more and more about each other.

(They’re too proud to apologise to one another though).

By the time they return to the Alchemy lab, hauling the ingredients behind their back, Sebek thought for a human, he can respect Sayaka as a fellow knight. He’s looking forward to crossing blades with her and he won’t hold anything back. As for Sayaka, she admires his devotion to his Dorm Leader and how couldn’t she, when he’s so passionate about serving him.

Through Sebek, Sayaka was then introduce to Silver and Lilia. There was a pair of white rabbits that were nibbling on some flowers at the courtyard and Sayaka followed them to Silver who was napping underneath a tree nearby. One of the rabbits placed a flower near his hair. Sayaka then realise that small animals were resting alongside him. Wanting to play with the animals, Sayaka made sure to be as quiet as possible as she petted the rabbits and chipmunks. Luckily they didn’t screech or bite her. In fact, they seem to tolerate her.

That’s how Lilia find them; Silver deeply asleep with Sayaka sitting beside him, happily amusing herself with the small animals that flocked to his son. Lilia surprised Sayaka by hanging upside down from the tree, thanking her for watching over Silver. Sayaka yelp but then blush; stammering out that she actually just wanted to play with the animals. Lilia smile and thanked her nonetheless.

Silver woke up when he heard her yelp. He didn’t expect that Sayaka would also flocked to him apart from the animals. Again, Sayaka blushes and told the two to stop teasing her. This made Lilia cackle and Silver frown in confusion. Lilia invites her to their dorm if she wants to see Madoka and Sayaka jumps on the offer. It’s been a while since they hang out, just the two of them, and look, she even has some leftover macaroons that Trey handed to the first-year students of Heartslabyul this morning.

Lilia enjoys being around Sayaka. She makes him feel younger; her youth, passion, sense of justice and etc. Lilia belives that she would grow to be an amazing woman in time. It’s also a good thing that their Fairy has someone like her as a good friend. She could definitely help boost Madoka’s self-esteem.

Silver doesn’t really have any problem with Sayaka. As a knight, he also asked if the two of them could spar sometime. Perhaps Sayaka could teach him how to combine his magic with his swordsmanship. She seems to be able to do it so effortlessly using water.

Sayaka only meet Malleus through Madoka. She offer to help Madoka search for her Dorm Leader when Lilia informed them that the Dorm Leaders and Vice Dorm Leaders will be having a meeting with the headmaster and teachers in less than 3 hours and Malleus is nowhere to be found in Diasomnia. Since Silver and Sebek are in the middle of their class, Madoka volunteered to look for him and Sayaka joined her.

It took them 2 hours to finally find Malleus wandering around the Ramshackle dorm. The moment Sayaka laid eyes on Malleus, she could sense his overwhelming presence and power. It’s made her hesitant. Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Malleus became dishearten. He had hoped that Madoka’s friends would be as fearless as her.

Fortunately with Madoka there, she helps to introduce one another. She even pressed close to Sayaka’s side and whisper that Malleus is actually very gentle and kind. Don’t be scared of his height. Sayaka whisper back that it’s not his height that took her off guard, but she bravely step forward and gave Malleus her most sincere smile.

This earn her a pleasantly surprise and fond smile from Malleus. When Madoka told him that he’s needed back at Diasomnia for a meeting, Malleus allows himself to be usher by these two girls. And what sight these 3 make! With Malleus in the middle and Sayaka and Madoka on his left and right, it feels almost Silver and Sebek are accompanying him. Plus, his ridiculously tall form dwarfed these tiny girls.

He enjoy listening to them talking about mundane, daily things and appreciate that Sayaka would pull him into the conversation by asking about his opinions and hobbies. It was nice being with her.

As for Sayaka, something in her finally vanishes when she personally witness just how attentive and gentle the Diasomnia gang treated Madoka. It makes her happy that her childhood friend is well looked after here.

Alright! And we’re done with Sayaka’s part! Next is Mami! On a related note, I’ll be posting an announcement regarding updates to my TW’s works tomorrow. I think I needed to do it so those who sticked around for this series knows what’s up.

no supernatural au concept i haven’t been able to stop thinking about since considering ronan and opal were once the same age

the lynch family has a reputation. partly it’s because they’re fucking weird, but let’s be real -- every rural town has its share of characters. weird farmers are par for the course. if the lynch family just kept to themselves at the barns, no one would know they existed. however niall lynch is a swaggering larger-than-life storybook hero who loves attention and scandal, so: the lynch family has a reputation

by and large, the household is made up of known entities. niall, the irishman who never shuts the fuck up. aurora, the quiet beautiful wife with the bizarrely gorgeous beadwork at craft fairs. declan, the eldest son who’s got one foot in DC and won’t ever look back when he gets there. matthew, the youngest boy with the enthusiasm and adoration and intellectual prowess of a golden retriever puppy

however. the lynch twins are largely folkloric

it’s not just that they never seem to appear in public. it’s that there are a dozen decade-old stories told by knitting folks on their porches that cannot POSSIBLY all be true, including:

the lynch twins set fire to the post office

the lynch twins stole four pallets of soda from the back of a truck unloading at the henrietta general store and drank all the evidence

the lynch twins lured a man into the woods and stabbed him in the leg

the lynch twins helped the local vet’s office coordinate 30 TNR procedures because they’ve befriended a colony of feral cats

the lynch twins trained a rotating cast of corvids to shit on the mayor when he leaves his office every evening

the lynch twins were banned from three local churches after incidents involving a statue of mary, stained glass worth several thousand dollars, and the preacher’s microphone respectively

adam doesn’t give much of a shit about local gossip but has gleaned quite a bit of it when being deferential and polite to middle-aged women at the dollar store. it takes him a month of attending aglionby to put together that ronan and declan are siblings (they look unbelievably alike, but their body language and speech are SO different) and another week after that to realize ronan’s one-half of the unidentified lynch family variables

“isn’t there another one of him?” adam blurts

declan looks up and blinks, nonplussed rather than smooth for once in his life. “excuse me?”

adam’s eating lunch and has ended up at a table with declan not because of friendliness, but because declan’s taking a break from his roving cast of intransient social interactions to work on college apps and adam’s getting a head start on homework. neither is here to make friends. adam nods across the room at ronan, who appears to be constructing a fully landscaped mountain sculpture out of french fries

declan says “god, i wish” as ronan upends a bottle of ketchup over the fries and causes a volcanic eruption that obliterates everything in the lunch table’s path

that tells adam absolutely nothing but also he doesn’t really care. later, when he and gansey are friends, and he’s no closer to understanding ronan but much more actively annoyed by him, he asks gansey the same thing

“oh, his sister!” gansey says, and beams. this at least explains why she doesn’t go to aglionby. “she’s great. she’s taught me a lot about what plants want to kill you”

adam can’t decide what to make of this. once upon a time he’d think that the affection of someone like gansey predisposed the mysterious lynch sister toward being like declan, but it turns out gansey reserves that ebullient expression for losers like him and ronan and noah alone, so. more data necessary

it’s important to note that this isn’t like, occupying a huge part of adam’s mind. it’s just idle querying because he likes knowing things. to that end, he asks ronan once if he’d ever met ronan’s sister when adam attended the public junior high. they’d be in the same grade, right??

ronan gets weird and evasive with some response about how she homeschools with his mom, and adam’s like okay, some religious cult thing with the women running the farm. whatever. not my issue

adam and ronan get slowly closer over time, etcetc, you know how it goes. eventually adam's invited to the barns. his first few visits are normal. suspiciously normal. aurora is loving and gentle in a way that makes adam skittish - probably more due to his own issues than any Actual malevolence, but who knows - and there is zero mention or sign of a girl living there

it doesn’t Really bother adam, but it kind of bothers him. less because he’s dying to meet her and more because equations that don’t add up make him nervous. his running list of theories include 1) she doesn’t exist 2) she’s dead 3) she’s at some elite boarding school for girls in connecticut 4) she’s an emancipated minor 5) she’s not an emancipated minor but has run away anyway 6) she’s a fugitive from justice 7) she’s in prison 8) she’s dead but, like, worse this time

adam carefully and subtly raises his concerns to ronan by asking, “so is your sister being tortured in your attic or what?”

ronan, reasonably, is like, “the fuck?”

adam’s like, “look, all i’m saying is that when a twin goes missing in a story and no one seems to care, something sinister’s afoot. that’s all i’m saying here.”

ronan’s like, “say the word ‘afoot’ again. you sound like gansey. come on”

he takes adam out for a walk in the woods, which seems like a pretty murdery way to respond. adam, uncomfortably aware of that rumor about luring people to the woods and stabbing them in the leg, is like okay i’m about to die here. i’ve uncovered a lifetime movie plot and now i’m gonna be buried in unmarked barrel #457. what a way to go

this is pretty much confirmed when he gets attacked

he hits the ground before he’s really registered anything beyond a surprise impact. it drives the breath out of his lungs. he flips onto his back right away. ronan’s got half a foot of height on him and stupidly long legs so a sprinting escape doesn’t seem viable. he’s gonna have to rely on the old-fashioned power of fingernails and kicking

he has time to see a pair of blown-pupil eyes WAY too close to his face before the weight disappears from him. the culprit is a girl, late teens, with hair that’s probably blonder when the matted dirt is washed out of it. “for fuck’s fucking sake,” ronan is saying, hauling her to her feet and blessedly away from adam’s vulnerable internal organs, “why. WHY.”

“holy shit.” adam sits up, clutching his chest. he can feel every bone in his body. “god. god. god”

the girl is almost as tall as ronan. she’s dressed in some kind of baggy coverall-ish getup that might once have been an army parachute. she is not wearing any shoes. there’s some blood on her face from a recently-opened scab, and also a black speck on one cheek that adam thinks is a smashed fly

“you didn’t jump gansey!” ronan is saying, extremely exasperated. “why!”

“i didn’t have my hammock yet when gansey first came,” she says. she does not sound remotely sorry

adam looks up and discovers that there is in fact a hammock stretched between the trees. it’s one of those heavy-duty camping numbers with thick canvas and a full insect net. it’s also thirty feet in the air. there are branches on the way down, but they are very precariously spaced. adam does not want to know how she parkoured to leap onto his shoulders

“when you snap someone’s neck,” ronan says, “i’m not helping you hide the body”

“who says i haven’t already?”

“the fuck? and you didn’t ask me to help hide the body?”

she darts a few feet away and pulls herself into a tree. adam watches with slight fascination as she shimmies out along a long branch until it dips under her weight. as he gets to his feet, trying to piece together his wilted dignity, she rides her makeshift nature elevator down until she’s staring into his eyes again. hugging the branch like a snake. absolutely no consideration for how normal human beings behave. it’s almost marvelous

“sufficiently free of my attic, parrish?” ronan asks

“uh, yeah. yep”

“so this is opal,” ronan says

opal flips over so she’s hanging from the branch like a sloth. then hooks her legs around it and reaches down until her palms are flat on the ground. cartwheels out of the tree like a particularly feral acrobat. adam jerks back to avoid being smacked by a faceful of twigs at the whipcrack slingshot of the branch bouncing back

opal pulls a pocketknife from one of the folds in the DIY parachute sewing machine tick protection onepiece from hell. adam eyes her warily

“opal, this is parrish. or adam. whichever. don’t stab him”

“god,” adam says again

opal beams. she opens the pocketknife, but all she does is start cleaning bits of plaque from between her teeth with the tip, which is somehow so much worse than stabbing. adam looks at ronan and finds him pinching the bridge of his nose. it occurs to adam that this is the only time he’s EVER seen ronan express any sense of embarrassment in any social situation. ronan has no sense of propriety. adam didn’t know he was capable of feeling embarrassed

he immediately likes opal just for that.

“yes,” opal says, unconcerned, answering a question no one’s actually asked. “ronan is the normal one”

safe place

pairing: chris evans x reader

word count: 3500 waow

summary: while clubbing in boston, you happen to see your favorite actor, none other than chris evans himself. unfortunately, his anxiety seems to be acting up again, and you can tell. you have a plan to help him out, and even though you know fully well you could embarrass yourself, you’ve gotta try it for him.

themes: this is just pretty chill n fluffy, highlights struggles with anxiety as well!

taglist: @viarogers , @evanstush , @chibi-crazy , @chalamet-evans , @world-of-losers , @songforhema, @sebabestianstan101 , @tanyam93 , @bval-1, @wonderwinchester , @little-miss-exo, @poerebel , @pining-and-tired , @gogomez-509 , @patzammit, @a-distantdreamer, @malthestorytellerblog, @rainbowkisses31, @jbug491writinghelp, @quaiderade

note: yeah kinda had sudden muse for this out of nowhere hence the longer word count, and i really luv discussing mental health so i thought it could be kind of interesting to talk about anxiety in this one. tbh i feel like it’s a lot of rambling so i apologize in advance! hope you all like it though!

It had been a while since you had been out with your girlfriends, but now that everyone was back home in Boston for at least some of the summer, it was a good chance to catch up with the friends you had made back in high school and reminisce on all of the good times. You had remained in Boston for work along with a couple of others, but everyone else had moved to all different parts of the country-- it seemed like a miracle in itself that everyone was able to make it back at the same time, but you had also all planned for this. To take the same week off from work, summer classes, whatever it was everyone was doing-- all to go back home and reconvene as one big group.

It was Friday night, and you were ready to hit the clubs. You inspected yourself in the mirror of your apartment where everyone had decided to gather to get ready, smiling satisfied at what you saw. A typical LBD was perfect for a night like this-- yes, it was cliche, but you didn’t care. You looked good. It was just the right amount of revealing, showcasing cleavage and legs that managed to look slightly lengthier thanks to the shoes you had picked for the night, and you had actually decided to do your hair for once. “Whew! You look sexy!” your friend Delia complimented, and you shot her a little grin. “Thanks, Del. So do you, red is really your color.”

After taking at least a couple more shots, you were all ready to go. Piling into an UberXL, you made your way deeper into the city where the best nightlife was, reveling in just the perfect amount of buzz and feeling ready for anything. You had been planning on dancing with a few guys tonight, maybe getting a little action in, but nothing serious. You definitely had not been expecting on meeting him.

_____________

As a group of young women, it was rather easy to get access to VIP. Besides, a majority of you had been brought up in Boston; by now, you knew people, had connections. You were currently lounging on a plush leather couch with a fifteen dollar drink in your hand, deciding to worry about the consequences the next day. Most of your friends were off dancing with other people they had befriended in the club, so it was just you and a couple others chilling, drinking, and talking-- and then you suddenly felt a rough nudge to your arm. “Ouch. Gabby, what the hell?” You wrinkled your nose though you were mostly exaggerating, looking to her with more amusement than anything. “What?” However, you were far more intrigued upon seeing the shock upon her face as she was staring at something a little further away. You followed her gaze, only seeing a crowd of people and iPhone camera flashes in the next couch area a few feet away. “What?” you repeated yourself, craning your neck trying to see what the big deal was. You could see a Red Sox cap sticking out from the center, but that was not anything interesting considering you were literally 3 miles away from Fenway.

And then the figure with the cap moved slightly, and you almost spit out your drink.

“It’s him, isn’t it?” Gabby seemed to have found her voice again, her eyes widening. “That’s Chris fuckin’ Evans. Oh my God, should we go say hi?” You still had your eyes on him, unable to help it-- God, he was even more gorgeous in person. You were about to agree instantly, the awe practically taking over your inebriated mind. Of course you wanted to say hi. You had loved Marvel for years now, and Captain America was your favorite Avenger. Not only that, but you had taken a liking to Chris’ acting because of his Marvel movies, which had encouraged you to watch several others. Living in Boston, it had always been a hope of yours that you would somehow run into him, but you never imagined it would actually happen. And now here he was, standing about five feet away from you-- sure, he was surrounded by girls, but you and Gabby could totally squeeze through.

But then you stopped to actually look at him. Not in the fangirling, celebrity idolizing way, but just to actually look at him. You could see on his face that he looked a little tired. Like his smile was forced. It did not seem disrespectful to you, but more so that he was… overwhelmed. He was still taking pictures with every single girl around him, even making effort in having conversation, but you caught every single sign. The frequent looking around, eyes not focused on one thing or one person. How he’d take off his hat and run his hand through his hair, but practically every ten seconds. The slight inward tug of his bottom lip, and while he made it look sexy, it was obvious he was not doing it to be seductive. You had listened to interviews of Chris speaking of his anxiety, and considering you had faced it before and had friends who did as well, it was hard not to see the signs. Now, if anything, you were getting a little pissed at these clubbers surrounding him, even though you were almost quite literally going to be one yourself.

“He seems a little on edge right now,” you noted, frowning slightly. “Maybe we should wait a bit, yeah? It’s not like VIP’s that crowded anyways, so hopefully once those girls leave him alone we can have a chance to just say hi or something.” Gabby sighed loudly but nodded her head. “Okay, okay, fine. But I’m gonna head downstairs to tell the girls. You stay here and keep an eye on him!”

“Wait--” you started to say, not wanting her to spread the news, but she was already leaving in a tipsy fit of giggles and excitement. You sighed and looked back towards him. He seemed even worse than before, and it had only been five seconds.

And then an idea came to you, and you nibbled on your lower lip wondering if you could really be that drunk or if this was just actually a brilliant plan. No. No, no. It was crazy. Absolutely insane, really, and you would look like a total idiot if it didn’t work. Which it most likely wouldn’t.

And so you downed the rest of your drink, barely fazed by the bitter taste of alcohol at this point as you stood up, taking a deep breath. Walking right over, you called out as loudly and confidently as possible over the music. “Chris? Chris! Chris, is that you? Oh my God, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you last! I can’t believe you’re back in town, this is great!”

Everyone immediately turned around to look at you, and you prayed that your cheeks weren’t burning. God, what had you done? How drunk could you be? Part of you wanted to simply turn around and run away, it wasn’t like you’d ever see him again. But you watched his reaction, hoping your own expression was visible enough to him to show that you were very clearly hinting at him to go along with it. At least, if anything, this pressure was helping in somewhat distracting you from how damn handsome he looked up close. How was it possible that the camera didn’t do him justice when he looked so hot in all of his photos?

Yeah, maybe you still were a little caught up in how handsome he was.

He seemed a little confused for a second, but suddenly, the corner of his lips tugged upwards. Your heart raced faster. Was he about to laugh at you, humiliate you in front of his fangirls? Or was your plan working? “Holy shit,” he stated, lightly pushing himself through the small crowd to step closer to you. “I didn’t know you were still in town, that’s crazy! Fuck, how long has it been? A year? Two? I’m so happy to see you!” You could not believe it; there were at least a million thoughts running through your mind right now. He actually went along with it. He’s standing right in front of me now. He’s smiling at me, having a direct conversation with me. And he swore, oh God, he sounds so hot swearing…

You snapped yourself back to reality. This was not about meeting your idol at the moment, this was about helping someone with what could turn into a straight up panic attack if this kept on any longer. You smiled back at him brightly before looking around at everyone, clearing your throat. He might have had to be polite because he had an image to protect, but you did not. “Excuse me, can you please leave us alone? Chris is one of my friends and I’d like to be able to catch up with him. And I’m pretty sure half of you aren’t even supposed to be up here…” you commented with a raised eyebrow, eyes glancing towards the lack of VIP wristbands on their arms. There was a lot of scoffing, huffing, and bitchy glares, but they eventually turned away, all furiously typing away on their phones most likely posting photos on every social media site possible.

You exhaled just as he did, looking up at him and clearing your throat. “I can, uh, leave you alone if you want. I swear I didn’t just do this to be able to talk to you too, I just noticed you looked a little… stressed.” You paused before quickly adding, “Not that I don’t want to talk to you. I mean, fuck, I love your shit, you know? I think you’re a great actor. But you shouldn’t be swarmed by fans or anything. So, yeah, I can leave.” After that word vomit, you decided the only proper way to do said leaving was flinging yourself off the balcony. But instead, he just smiled wider as he looked down at you, shaking his head. “No, no. Of course not. I really appreciate what you did for me back there, trust me.” He tilted his head, seeming curious. “Did I really look stressed?” You blinked but nodded truthfully, biting your lip. “It just looked like a typical bout of anxiety to me, if we’re being honest,” you told him, then wondered if that was somehow offensive. “I mean, I know just because you mentioned having it doesn’t mean you’re just always some anxious person, and I’m not trying to assume anything either but I’ve also had experiences with it too so it’s kind of easier to catch signs, you know? But if I was wrong then I’m really so-”

“You weren’t wrong,” he cut you off, but he was still smiling kindly at you. Damn, his eyes are beautiful. “Yeah, I was definitely feeling a little crowded back there. So thank you. Really. What’s your name? Can I buy you a drink?” You looked up at him somewhat shocked. “Me? Oh, please, you really don’t have to do that,” you shook your head, not wanting him to feel obliged to you in any means whatsoever, even though a drink would Chris Evans would probably be all you needed to die happy. “I’m sure you have friends waiting on you or something, really, it’s okay. I genuinely just wanted to help.” He raised an eyebrow, slightly stepping closer and it was taking you everything not to creepily deeply inhale from how good his cologne smelt. “And I genuinely want to buy you a drink,” he spoke with an amused grin, eyes twinkling even more than before. “Please. Or if you don’t drink, I can at least get you a--”

“Oh I drink.” You cut him off way too fast, then realized afterwards. “Okay, but like, I don’t mean I’m an alcoholic or anything, I just--” you finally just sighed loudly, looking down for a few seconds before looking up at him, silently cursing your brain for not allowing you to sober up at least a little. Despite the fact that it was solely your fault for having decided to chug a freaking vodka sour. “Okay, yes. Let’s do this. But-- unfortunately my friend is about to bring my entire horde of friends up here, so let’s try a different bar in this club.” He was laughing as he listened to you, but it did not feel mean or embarrassing; he simply seemed like he was actually having a fun time with you, almost as if he were a friend. He then blinked, curious and slightly confused. “In this club? Is there another one, besides the VIP one and the general one downstairs?” You laughed softly, nodding your head. “You gotta come back to Boston more! They just opened a rooftop one upstairs that’s way less crowded, but it’s pretty exclusive.” You raised a brow, continuing, “But I’m pretty sure we won’t have any problem getting in...” He chuckled and it was a deep rumble of heaven, but you forced yourself not to be annoying or even more triggering towards his anxiety. “Well, that would have been nice to know earlier, but I’m glad I at least get to know it from you. Lead the way….” he trailed off, waiting for a name to use. You giggled lightly at the slight flirtation, in disbelief that it was even happening but of course introduced yourself, lightly taking his outstretched arm and walking towards the staircase to the roof.

_____________

“Sebastian said that to you? Oh my God, that’s hilarious.” You laughed upon listening to a story he was telling you from a drunken night he, Sebastian Stan, and Anthony Mackie had shared in LA, a beam spread across your entire face. “You guys seem like such cute friends.” He laughed and nodded his head fondly, looking out towards the view. “Eh, they’re alright, I suppose,” he spoke playfully, and you giggled for the hundredth time within that hour, looking out towards the city lights yourself.

The two of you had been chatting away, the peaceful nighttime air and breeze definitely helping you in sobering up a little more. Not that you had been absolutely trashed before, but you wanted to be as present in this moment as possible. You knew something like this would never happen again, but you were trying not to think about that. You loved that he was also asking you questions about yourself, and seemed sincerely interested, at that. He was so easy to converse with, so relaxed and thoughtful, you felt bad knowing what his anxiety could do to such a kindhearted person like him. You were sure he would have loved to be like this with all of his fans, but he had even explained to you himself that it was difficult for him to be in front of big crowds. “I know that seems kinda ridiculous coming from a Hollywood actor,” he said with a sigh, chuckling lightly, “but I can’t control it, ya know? I wish I could.” You nodded sympathetically, unable to even imagine what it would be like having to deal with such conflict in his current occupation.

“But what about you?” he asked, surprising you again even though he had shown genuine interest in you and your life this entire time. “You said you’ve dealt with anxiety before, too?” You nodded with a sigh, taking a sip of your drink. “It used to be pretty bad for me in high school. I guess high school’s just a rough time in general, though,” you said with a laugh, shrugging your shoulders. “I still get attacks every now and then, but I’ve learned how to cope with it much better. Definitely better than hormonal, puberty ridden me, anyways,” you chuckled. He laughed too and you tried to ignore how adorable the sound as well as his face was when he did so. “Mm. Definitely don’t wanna reminisce on those days,” he playfully shuddered before tilting his head with interest. “How do you cope with it?” You could not believe Chris Evans was here asking you for advice, but you pondered this over. “I guess this is common sense and easier said than done, but I think I’m just a lot better at being able to mentally step back from a situation and think it through more logically when I’m feeling anxious. I just go through a rundown in my head and remind myself that it’s okay. It also helps distracting myself from it by talking to friends, like to call my best friend if I’m feeling down or weird about something.” You told him, barely biting your lip-- you had never really talked about such topics with any guys before, and it was crazy how it felt so comfortable with a celebrity.

“Yeah? Well maybe next time you could call me, too?” he asked, and you were practically baffled. “Like, on my cell phone?” you asked rather dumbly, then closed your eyes as you rubbed your forehead. “Okay, yeah. Duh. My cell phone. It’s not like I own a landline. Who really does anymore, besides old people. But I mean--” you stopped and collected your thoughts briefly before looking up at him. “You’d really feel comfortable giving me your phone number? And you actually want to… talk?” He laughed again, even tilting his head back slightly before nodding with a wide smile. “Yeah. I mean, hell yeah, I do. I’ve had a lot of fun talking to you tonight.” He slid his phone out of his pocket, unlocking and handing it to you with a hopeful grin. You slowly smiled, nodding and taking it from him to input your number. Much to your delight, when handing it back he went straight to sending you a message, looking to you as he arched an eyebrow playfully. “You have my number now, right? You didn’t give me a fake one?” You blinked before laughing loudly, taking your phone out of your little crossbody bag. “Why the hell would I give you, of all people, a fake number?” You waved your phone at him to show him that the message had come up on the device, then looked down at it to save his number. You had assumed he just sent a “hi” or an emoji, something simple-- but you paused as your eyes scanned the words on your screen.

“Go on a date with me.”

You stared at it somewhat dumbfounded before looking up at him, knowing your cheeks were slightly red. “A-a date?” you asked; sure, the two of you had been hitting it off and flirting a little, but you had kept reminding yourself throughout the conversation that he was a celebrity. He probably had tons of girls in his life, you were someone who could just be an acquaintance. If that. But now he wanted to take you out on an actual date?

“I’m in Boston for the next few months. And I know that’s not permanent, but I really, really liked talking to you tonight, and.. I want to see if this works. Please.” You almost didn’t reply due to being too shocked that he was begging you to date him, but you quickly cleared your throat. “I’d… yeah, I’d really like that.” You admitted, feeling excited and terrified all at once. But that was how dating should feel, right? “But, um, how does this… work? Do you, like, not want me to tell anyone…? Do I not save your number at all, in case anyone hacks into my phone? Or should I just save you as a fake--”

“Okay, okay, don’t go all secret agent on me.” He interrupted you with a loud laugh, eyes twinkling fondly as he gazed down at you. “Honestly… I trust you. Call it a gut instinct, but I do. So tell whoever you’d like, or don’t. The only thing I’m more worried about is your own privacy, because it most likely won’t be respected if we’re not careful about this. But when it comes to people knowing about me taking you out, that’s fine with me. I’m allowed to have a love life, aren’t I?” he said with a smile, then glanced down at his phone. “Oh, shit. I need to go, my brother’s waiting for me. And I’m sure your friends are, too.” He looked at you and chuckled softly, probably at the disappointed face you wore. “Hey. Text me tonight, alright? Promise.” You smiled at that, arching an eyebrow playfully, teasing, “Wow, you’re already pretty needy, huh? Yikes, what am I agreeing to here?” He blinked before scoffing, though clearly amused. “You know what? Yeah, I am. And it’s your fault.”

He suddenly took a light hold of your waist, gently pulling you closer to him and leaned down. You widened your eyes slightly but did not move away, looking up into his beautiful blue orbs instead silently confirming that you were alright with what was about to happen.

You would remember that kiss for the rest of your damn life-- you were sure of it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 3

A few days have passed and everyone has slowly calmed down, Bakugou, Denki, Kirishima and I have been talking of a morning and I say goodbye to them at the end of the day so we’re friends? I guessed we were friends. Sitting in class just talking and things, Dad comes in and begins to talk about the sports festival, the height of the UA year for the students. I was so excited, I loved using my power but also hated it, it was complicated and I had watched it every year, I may not want to be a hero but I wanted to participate. Everyone was talking about it during class and I honestly was getting so pumped for it. I mean it was a sports festival.

“You won’t be participating,” Dad said as I was talking to him at the end of class, I had started to say how I could get noticed and maybe more into the whole hero thing, I knew others could hear us and I was making motions with my hands and things but when he said those four words my arms felt as I stood in silence for a few seconds as he just looked down at me.

“Excuse me,” I said slowly my voice lower than before as I looked to him, he wasn’t going to let me. I have always wanted to participate in “I love the sports festival, I watch it every year and the time I can go in it, I’m not allowed” I ask shaking my head and breathing out my anger, I had forgotten anyone was there as I tried to keep quiet but it was a small room.

“Your father and I had a chat, we decided it was best if you didn’t” he shrugged as if it was nothing, a simple thing, though I could see the sorry in his eyes, he had just gone on about how important it is and then dropped this I shook my head turning on my heel. “Y/N come back, we can talk about this” I didn’t respond.

I loved the festival and now I couldn’t even participate, everyone else got too. I didn’t expect to go far maybe the first round but the thought of being in the stadium was like a dream and now it’s gone. Four words and my hopes had vanished. I walked down the hallway and then down the stairs, quickly I needed air, I needed something. I knew I had to go home with them but even if I had a few minutes to myself to calm down, I needed it.

“They don’t trust us, no trust, fearful, scared, too strong, not in control” they came at me all at once and I put my hands over my ears trying to stop them, quieten them even just a little as I stormed to the training area that I was allowed into, there were perks to being a teacher's kid. The voices continued as grit my teeth, just stop. They didn’t think that. Walking inside I sighed “No trust, evil, villain, scared the man, he saw”

“Shut up” I screamed throwing my hands out as a burst of energy came from me in the form of black veins running over my skin, they had reason to not trust me. I sighed leaning my head back to try and calm down, I couldn’t activate my full quirk my shirt would be ruined so I held everything as I tried to calm down, the power surging through my system as I tried to be calm. Laughter was heard circling my ears and I shook my head “I said shut up” why was it that they could turn malice within a few seconds. My nails dug into my head as I held my ears and I slowly crouched down.

“Y/N” I turned seeing Bakugou staring at me as I still, the black fell back into my skin and could no longer be seen. “I thought you would be here” he smiled lightly and the voices stopped for a few seconds, they never stopped. “I thought id check on you, Aizawa is finding Mic then coming to get you I think, I heard him mumbling to himself” I rolled my eyes a few whispers were heard once more as I slowly stood up and nodded.

“I’m fine, you can go now,” I said and turned back around sighing out as I looked down to the ground as if it was the most entertaining thing I had ever seen, I didn’t want him here, or maybe I did? I didn’t know what I wanted at this point.

“Hey, Idiot I’m trying to be helpful” there's the Bakugou I knew and befriended, the hot-headed loudmouth, I laughed lightly “Oh so now you’re laughing at me” I turned and saw flushed cheeks and an angry stance, his fingers outstretched and a few popping noises being heard.

Shaking my head I smiled, “No, you just made me feel a bit better” his stance faltered as his shoulders sunk “I really wanted to compete in the festival, I’ve watched it since I was a kid and now that I have a chance, I’m not allowed” even I could hear the sadness in my voice, my eyes downcast and I swallowed.

“State your cause” was what I was told, head lifting I tilt in confusion a raised eyebrow accompanying it as I just stared at him, what was he going on about? “Storm in there and say what you want. You won’t get anywhere if no one hears you” of course he would suggest something like that, he walked up to me handing me a small piece of paper “It’s my number, message me” a smile then turned and left the building like it was nothing.

Now I was flushing as I bit my lip, “State my cause huh” I whispered and narrowed my eyes and biting my lip. Sometimes he was bright if he wanted to be. Storming from the building I continued up the stairs and through the students as I made my way to the office, I knew the looks I was getting as I stomped my way down the halls. Slamming the door open I walked right up to my parents my eyes wide and chest puffed, I had to state my cause. “I demand I be able to participate in the sports festival” all went silent as I looked to my parents and then around as I swallowed, ok maybe this was a bad idea. Dad went to talk saying my name and I shook my head, I had to state my cause “It is my right as a UA student to be able to participate in the festival, I should get the same chances as everyone else. It is not fair that I will be disadvantaged because you do not think I should do it” I looked between the two of them and saw a smile rise on Pa’s face. Why was he smiling?

Pa had that smile and Dad sighed out “We were just talking it out, you can do it, you would know that if you let me finish” I paused my hands now in the air as I looked back to him and Pa my face flushing, I just yelled at them for nothing.

“Oh” I nodded and then bowed “I thank you for the consideration” I nodded and swallowed “I will be waiting to go home in the lounge” I nodded again not having really stopped and turned around seeing the other teachers with smiles on their faces.

Immediately flopping down onto the lounge I pulled the note from my clenched hand, taking out my phone and placing the numbers in, Bakugou’s number, I had Bakugou's number. Sending a quick message saying it was Y/N, I then proceeded to say that Dad and Pa had already decided I could do it but I made a fool of myself by not letting them speak. Moving to be laying down on the lounge I began to think about how this could go, I was messaging Bakugou like the boy in my class, my friend.

“I’m going to annihilate you” was the only text I got back and I couldn’t help the small smile stretch it’s way onto my face, that’s just like him.

“As if” I replied and from there we had a texting battle for who would win, strategies and comebacks being thrown at each other. It was whoever could type the fastest, Capitals being his favourite use of action when messaging. Not so long later and I was heading home, eating, chatting about their days and then sitting in my room on my hammock, my chains hanging over the sides.

A few more messages shared between Bakugou and I and then a “Goodnight Loser” signifying the end of the conversation. We had been speaking for a few hours and moved onto more interesting things, just learning about each other as we messaged.

I smiled rolling around in bed as I re-read the messages as I then heard a small voice “A crush” was what was whispered and I stopped my finger stopping scrolling and the smile fell from my face “Cute, a crush, like him, message, nice, crush, cute” I shook my head sitting up quickly.

“What no we are just friends” I called out sitting up and then looking around the room as I heard laughter. Damned voices. Throwing myself back onto the pillow I swung and sighed. “We’re just friends”

This was it, the day of the competition, the day I would compete in the sports festival. Dressed in our school uniforms the only thing difference being our shoes, it was annoying that we couldn’t wear our hero gear but it was too be fair to the other classes. I had gotten my ‘gear’ checked off just so I wouldn’t rip my shirt when using my quirk. Everyone had been training hard, I had been trying to harness my power and trying to stay on top of being in control of everything around me. It was difficult but rewarding nonetheless. I had spoken to my parents knowing they would be commentating the festival and to be honest. I wanted to hear the criticism. This was my chance, my chance to show everyone I could be a hero. To show all the agencies I deserved to be here. People didn’t know my biological parents yet, except Bakugou and no one knew my real parents except 1-A. They knew my quirk but I also knew theirs so this would be hard and easy at the same time. I was so excited about the festival, I was practically vibrating. Stalls open and people walking through was so much fun, I had heard some of the things people were saying, everyone was excited for 1-A after the USJ. We were all in the waiting room talking and sitting, getting ready.

“Everyone get your game faces on, we’re entering the arena soon” Iida’s voice came booming through the room, loud and proud. He was like a father or a leader to the class, always giving directions and whatnot. Though I have to admit I did jump a little at his voice.

“Midoriya” Todorokis’ voice was low and baritone, as he walked to the green-headed male, hand in his pocket and eyes narrowed. Midoriya responding and asking him to continue. This would be interesting. “From an objective standpoint, I think it’s very clear that I'm stronger than you” really hitting him where it hurts, it seemed. Todoroki was a man of few words, though it seemed he really did have a plan, wanting to prove something. Midoriya nodded “However, you’ve got All Might in your corner helping you out. I’m not here to pry about what’s going on between you two but, know that I will beat you” Midoriya looked as though he was about to faint, to fall over and die, eyes wide and mouth open. I felt bad but this wasn’t my fight.

“What’s with all these declarations of war lately” Kaminari smiled from the table that sat his friends. I had to admit everyone seemed on edge, but this was the first festival and after the USJ everyone would be looking at us in particular.

“Yeah what's the big deal, why are you picking a fight all of a sudden” Kirishima, light and bubbly, always wanting to keep the peace between everyone? I admired him for that. “And right before we get started” Kirishima was pushed away, lightly, by Todoroki.

“I don’t care to be each other’s friends” Todoroki was really on a mission today, I hoped I didn’t have to verse him, that would be a pain and a lot to deal with. He began to walk away “Don’t forget this isn’t a team effort” he wasn’t wrong but in the hero field, there was going to be people you had to pair with.

“Wait a sec Todoroki” Midoriya started, he was going to respond to his little huff. I didn’t expect this but then again, Midoriya had a lot to prove to everyone else. “I don’t know what’s going through your head, or why you think you need to tell me why you’ll beat me and yeah, of course, you’re better than me” this was sad, his face was low and his spirits. Everyone sat in silence just looking on. “You probably have more potential than anyone in the hero course” a little sting to my ego but that was fine, I was the one that saved everyone need I remind. “That’s why you got in so easily” Kirishima tried to lessen his blows not only at himself but also the other students. I for one wasn’t impressed by Midoriyas’ comments. “No he’s right you guys, the other courses are coming at us with everything they’ve got, we’re all going to have to fight to stand out and I’ll be aiming for the top too” he looked so serious I almost went to laugh but held back.

Waiting for when we were allowed to leave our little tunnels was quite funny, listening to Pa shout over the intercom was a delight in itself, he always got so invested in these types of things. The crowd was loud, the cameras ready. Then we were allowed out while music played. I walked out with my head high and shoulders back. This was my time to shine. Fireworks took to the sky and I walked with my class in silence. Pa went on about the attack and how we should be watched but I knew the truth. I knew how he acted when he found out Dad and I were in the firing line. All the classes came out heads high and ready.

“Now the introductory speech” Midnight called out her whip ready and waving around, her costume didn’t faze me, she had worn that since I was little. A few of my fellow students commenting about telling her what she was wearing with flushed cheeks and narrowed gazes. “Silence everyone and for the student pledge we have Katsuki Bakugou” this wasn’t going to end well.

With the confidence of a god he walked up hands in his pockets and face blank, he walked up the stairs and I noticed how bad his posture was. This was a disgrace to the hero course not to mention the other courses already didn’t like us. “I just wanna say, I gonna win” voice monotone and unchanging.

“Why would you say something so disrespectful” Iida was on him immediately, arm moving in an angered linear way that puts a smile on my face. He was confident, nothing wrong with that. “You’re representing us all” he did have a point with that comment.

“Not my fault the rest of you are just stepping stone to my victory” a roll of my eyes and a sigh I could hear people yelling around me and looked up to the commentating booth seeing Dad and Pa. I smiled and waved lightly, they waved back.

Bakugou walked past us all with ease “Without further ado, it's time for us to get started, this is where you’re really going to feel the pain. The first game of the festival” a strange hologram-like thing appeared, pieces spinning like at a casino. “What could it be, Tada” it was an obstacle course. Easy, I could do this. Midnight explained what was to happen and I felt my heart sped up. “As long as you don’t leave the course you are free to do as your heart desires” she should not be saying that to people like Bakugou or Todoroki. “Take your place contestants”

We were all placed into a hallway of sorts, ready to start, I had changed into a jumper from the school, I never liked the feeling of jackets. The back was cut out as well as the chest, I had full movement and I was still in uniform. Perks to having teachers as parents. There were three lights, above us. Slowly turning off, I bent down ready to run. I could do this. My quirk could be used for heroism, my biological parents do not define me. My parents were heroes sworn to protect. I would be one of them, I could be a hero.

“Begin” at the sound of her voice I sprinted, I had stamina, having an ouija board come out of my chest every time I wished it too had made me have a lot of stamina and pain tolerance. I was sprinting, I was fast, always had been.

Everyone was running, cheers and yelling behind me, I was keeping pace with Todoroki and a few others, he was my problem right now. We all wanting this, we all wanted to win. I could hear Pa but I didn't have a car. It was squishy and this was the first obstacle.

I felt the cold and jumped up seeing ice fall beneath me. “To your right” I heard the whisper and turned landing on a flat part and continued to run “People are locked down not all though. He is fast, run” I was running.

“Apologies” I heard him call out though he never looked over his shoulder, he was strong and I knew had already made an impact on the crowd. I ran next to him his eyes wide and un-pleased.

“Did you really think some ice could stop me” I smiled.
