#and as soon as him winning wasnt assured. he gave up

[shoezuki]

shimazaki is such a funny villain im mp100 to me cuz like. w so many almost all other villains theres some sort of character change that takes place n many of them become close to mob like. teruki and serizawa and shou technically and minegishi and all the other claw members. But with shimazaki theres no 'redemption' like that. cuz he was doing his bullshit jus cuz he thought itd be fun. he wasnt being manipulated like serizawa and he wasnt genuinely wanting to take over the world dude was jus fucking around. and all it took was mob looking at him and being like 'you've got to be fucking kidding me' and dude snapped himself out of existence.

Just go with it part 2

Musical beetlejuice x reader

You have to meet juno and pretend you and bj are getting married

Nsft sorta, mentions of activity

Part 1

"Babes"

....

"Sugar"

...

"Y/n"

...?

"Y/n wake up, come on babes"

...!

"Beej?" You mumble rubbing your eyes "what's wrong?" You say in a whisper.

He doesnt respond, you turn on the lamp by your bed and check your phone clock

5:42am

You sigh, looking back at the demon, now being able to see him clearly, you freeze upon seeing that the demon was now completely purple, his hair, his beard, his tie, all deep purple.

"What's wrong?" You ask again, more fear in you voice then intended

"Okay y/n" he starts, using your name rather then a pet name was never a good sign "so you remember a few nights ago when that suit came by to see if I was lying about our relationship?"

"He's back?!" You sit up, more awake "wait... wasnt the repercussion to that not that bad? Just some extra work for you?"

Beetlejuice rubs his neck "yeah, thing about that, it's not him... my mother is here, to talk to you personally..." he trails off refusing to look at you

"Your mother...." you repeat feeling your stomach drop

"Yeah..."

"What's gonna happen if she finds us out?" You ask in a whisper

"...who knows with her" the demon spits before looking away.

The two of you remain in silence over the shit beetlejuice has gotten you into it.

Beetlejuice huffs out his nose as his focus goes back to you.

"So y/n, I mean honey~" the demon pulls you up from your bed and into a side hug "ready to meet mommy dearest?" Beetlejuice tried to smile, make light of the situation, but his hair betrayed him, remaining a deep purple, even though he tried his best to plaster a grin across his face for your sake.

You didnt know much about Beetlejuice's mother, other then she didnt exactly win mother of the year, beej only opened up about her a handful of times, long story short, you knew this was gonna be a rough experience for both of you, but mostly Beej.

Beetlejuice drops his jacket around your shoulders, pulling the same ring he gave you to fool the suit, the same tacky, pretty ring, the band was black and white, and resembled a snake, the gem was a brilliant green, your heart swelled at the sight of the ring.

The ghoul drops on one knee, and gently slides the ring onto your middle finger, pausing to kiss your hand before giving you wink, under different circumstances you would die from such a cheesy romantic gesture, but now was not that time, you did appreciate beetlejuice trying to lighten the mood.

"Alright honey, you remember the drill?"

"Yes"

"That's my future wife, let's not keep the bitch waiting" he smiles linking arms with you

Future wife...

You couldnt help but give the ghoul a soft smile at the thought.

Beetlejuice takes a deep breath, smoothing his hair back, wiping the purple away in favour of his default green.

The demon grabs your hand begins to lead you to your living room, you could barely focus over the sound of your heart pounding, who could blame you, you were about to come face to face with someone Beetlejuice was afraid of.

As the two of you head down the hall , she was finally in sight, you felt your stomach drop, in your recliner sat an old woman, dressed completely in red, she had a permanent scowl across her face, her whole presence give off a bad feeling.

"Lawrence, you took your sweet time fetching your fiance" she barked causing beetlejuice to flinch

"Ya know breathers, they like their sleep-" he forces a laugh, purple slowly creeping back into his hair

"Nonsense, it's nearly 6am, that's more then a reasonable time for breathers to wake and start their pointless routines" she waves off, beetlejuice frowns and leads you to the couch, where the both of you sit.

"Its been awhile huh Ma? Like I was saying earlier, it's nice to see you again and-" beetlejuice was babbling

"Zip it" was all she said and beetlejuice clamped his mouth shut and gazed down staring at his feet. "Lawrence, I didnt come here for pointless pleasantries" her eyes meet yours "y/n l/n I dont know what Lawrence has done to you or promised you, but I can assure you he doesnt care about you, and just wants freedom, further more Lawrence, do you honestly think this breather could love you? This game of yours needs to come to an end, there is alot of paper work tied up in this farce of yours"

You were taken back by her words, she really didn't beat around the bush.

"I dont-" you start, voice trembling

"Ma, y/n loves me and I love them, see~" beetlejuice grabs your hand to show his mother the ring, she eyes the ring for a moment, then goes bad to staring daggers into her son, her scowl never faltering.

"Tacky" she huffs, a simple response like that was enough to shut her son down, beetlejuice pulled away from you, pressing his back firm against the couch, lips pressed shut and hands clamped together in his lap.

"As I was saying, Lawrence is a natural born troublemaker, and youd be smart to back out of this farce before he gains life, knocks you up with a life ruining disappointment, and vanishes from your life" she droned as she lights a cigarette, taking a deep inhale, smoke shooting out from her neck.

You swallow hard.

"I would prefer if you didnt smoke in my house, ma'am"

Juno stares at you for a moment, then shakes her head as she puts out her cigarette on your coffee table.

"Ma'am I really do trust beetlejuice, and I love him, this isnt a farce-" you began, but your words were ignored

"If you want to throw yourself into a mess, I wont stop you, I'm not here to save you, but I have to applaud his efforts on tricking someone LEGAL this time for his little game. Even though this mess of yours is going to keep him out of my way for awhile, it doesn't cover the fact that Lawrence's efforts have caused my office nothing but work. And even if this "love" was real the boy ruins everything thing he touches, cant do anything right, having him around only causes headaches, you'll see soon enough y/n," Juno's hurtful words drone on, as if her son wasnt sitting across the table from her.

"Back to the matter, even if you do choose to marry this fool, I wanted to warn you about the mess your getting yourself into, giving him life would only cause you grief, and I dont want to hear it when you get to the netherworld after a suicide his actions caused"

You grit your teeth at that last remark, you knew juno thought poorly of beetlejuice, but did she honestly thing her son was so awful that youd kill yourself over his actions, you felt like you were going to be sick.

"Lawrence, why is your hair purple?"

You glance over to beetlejuice, who infact was completely purple, the deepest purple you've ever seen him wear.

Beetlejuice bites down on his lip, his hands clenched in fists as they sat on his thighs, he was frozen.

"Bee?" You gently whisper as you slowly place a hand on his, the ghoul flinches at your touch, beetlejuice slowly takes your hand in his and gives it a light squeeze.

"Come on Ma, y/n my be dramatic, and get mad at me from time to time, but they'd never kill themselves over anything dumb I'd do, and hell we already talked it over, we dont want kids" the ghoul leans into you for support.

Juno scowls "to remind you both, I'm not here to stop you two, the only thing I'm here for is to warn this foolish breather, and double check to make sure YOU arent mucking about and blackmailing the living again, there is a lot of paper work involved in this little game of yours, and you still havent delt with the paper work of your failed marriage and death by the hands of that poor child you tricked" her eyes narrow down to beetlejuice, juno pauses, then sighs

"Lawrence just come clean, this little game of yours has gone on long enough, even if you didnt blackmail this poor soul into marrying you, do you honestly think they love you? You dont actually think this breather wants you around do you?"

"That's not true, I do-"

You werent able to finish that sentence, with a snap of juno's fingers your mouth is now cover with a strip of duct tape.

"You've honestly fooled yourself into thinking you could be loved didnt you? Pitiful, maybe this breather found you amusing now, but you dont think it's going to last do you?" Her questioning goes on, she was convinced her son was unlovable, you tug away at the duct tape but it refuses to budge, beetlejuice was too focused on his mother's words, to the point where he was starting to believe her, the purple slowly faded from him in favour of white, a color you've never seen on him.

"Lawrence you're little game is over, and you're going to clean up the mess you made, I have a decade's worth of paper work for you to fill out over this farce and every other little issue you caused, I knew from the start this was fake, no living person in their right mind would let you into their life willingly"

A decade's worth of paper work?! Was that so important that she was willing to manipulate her own son into thinking he was worthless?

"Lawrence you are such a screw up, the amount of work your little games keep giving me is coming to an end, you will never be alive, you will never be loved, let alone tolerated, and you are coming back to my office to straighten up ever little issue you have caused, if you think being invisible for a millennia is bad-" she raises her voice with each hateful word.

This duct tape wasnt going to budge, so you went with plan B, you roughly bump into the demon's side to get his attention, beetlejuice looking your way, your eyes grow wide at his expression, he was crying, black gooey tears. The two of you stare at each other what felt like an eternity, Juno's voice no longer reached him, beetlejuice snaps his fingers and the duct tape vanishes from your mouth.

You jump up from you position on the couch "I'm sorry ma'am  but bee- Lawrence isnt worthless, and yes, he can be an ass, and insensitive at times, but I love him and I really do want to marry him! And whatever stupid paper work that is tied up in this, can just fuck off..." your voice tweaks as the ghoulish women sitting across from you stands up, eyes dead set on you.

You werent great with confrontation, and beej knew this, but here you were talking back to his mother, you  his tiny sweet breather talking back to a literal monster. The white from Beetlejuice's hair quickly left in replacement to pink 'I really do want to marry him!' Those words from your lips could have made his heart start beating , tho that was shortly lived when he saw this mother stand, purple took hold of his form once again.

He couldnt let you fight his mistakes alone, though he found it hot that you could be his knight in shining armor.

No, beetlejuice is quick to jump up and link his arm with yours "see ma, this little breather stole my heart, and hell, we've been planning our little wedding for months" beetlejuice snaps his fingers and in a flash his and yours clothes change. Beetlejuice wore a red tux made with crushed velvet, with a lacy front, his whole outfit screamed tacky, but that was him. Looking down at your self, you stifle a laugh, here you were, 6:30am, dressed in a red puffy lacing monster of a dress, in all honesty this wouldnt be your first choice, but now was not that time. Beetlejuice pulls you close, you could swear he could hear how hard your heart was pounding, could you blame yourself? He looked so handsome all dressed up, even if this was fake.

"My, my Lawrence, doesnt that dress look familiar, isnt that the dress you forced that poor child to wear the last time you played this game?" his mother sneers

"Its called a call back, and y/n loves it" he sneers back you nodded in agreement, beetlejuice continues "we're still working on a venue, trying to find a band, believe me, planning a wedding is exhausting, and oh! dont be surprised if your invite gets lost in the mail ma" the demon gives a shit eating grin, you smile seeing beetlejuice has gained SOME confidence back.

"I have no interest in attending your little wedding Lawrence" she spat "it's clear you're not going to budge, and still refusing to take responsibility for your actions, you always were a slacker, and if that's the case, once you die again you will be returning to my office to deal with the mess you made" her focus turns to you "or I could end this little charade by killing your ticket to life"

Your heart stops at her words, she was a demon, Beetlejuice's grip tightens on you, the silence must have been hurting him as much as it did you.

"But I wont, itd be too much a hassle ending a life before it's time"

You sigh in relief, and beetlejuice loosens his grip.

"This will end poorly for the two of you, and I dont want to hear it" juno walks past the two of you, and with a gesture of her hand the livingroom wall opens up to reveal an office full of the dead.

"Lawrence before you join the living I need to deal with one last errand, so I will see you later, and you" Juno's boney finger points to you "you have no idea what you've signed up for" and with that she was gone, the wall closes up as if nothing happened, the two of you collapse on the floor

"Shes gone" you sigh, you've never been more scared in you entire life then you were talking to Juno

"So you like your future mother in law?" Beej jabs you side

"Oh yeah, a delight" you snort, "how long do you think we have before she notices we havent gotten married?" You tone shifts to a more serious note

"No clue, guess you'll actually need to marry me now" he pulls you into a side hug

"What?" You stammer, beetlejuice laughs at your response

"HA! Just pulling your chain there doll, theres no way in hell she's coming back to check, if I know that Bitch shes going to file away those papers for me, there's no way she'll let them just sit there for who knows how long, and this time next week she'll be harping about something else" beetlejuice stands up and pulls you up with him as he sees you struggling to move in that dress, as you raise to your feet you mumble a thanks.

"You know beej, you really do clean up good, I mean, you look very handsome all dressed up" you smile, now that that two of you were safe, you felt it was the right time to say it.

The purple in the ghoul's hair quickly vanishes at your kind words and is replaced with pink.

"Well you know doll, the tux suits me, but it looks even better on the floor, you'll see on our honeymoon~"

"Is that so?"

"Dont believe me? I'll show ya right now baby~" the ghoul pulls you close pressing his chest against yours, as fun as this little exchange was it came to a halt when you yawned.

"What a way to start a weekend, early and terrified, I think I'm gonna get a few more hours of sleep" you grumbled rubbing your eye "you mind helping me out of this dress?" Beetlejuice goes wide eyed at your question, in a flash his hands were groping for the zipper on your back.

"Naughty minx" he purrs before you swat his hands away

"I ment with magic" you breath out, you may be tired, but your genitals were now wide awake.

Beetlejuice grumbles as he snaps his fingers bringing you back into your pajamas and him in his suit.

"Thank you, I guess this wouldnt be good night, see you in a bit" you shrug as you head to your bedroom to get a few more hours of sleep, you glance back at beetlejuice, who was purple once again, you frown

"Beej do you want to sleep with me? I mean you dont need to sleep, I just thought maybe, you wouldnt want to be alone right now?" After seeing his mother maybe he could use some comfort.

There was a long silence as the demon only stares back at you, you panic

"I'm sorry, that was stupid, I'll just, uh, see you in-" you babble as you spin in your heels eager to get away from this embarrassing situation. Before you could hide away in your bedroom you feel the dicey grip if the demon's hand on your shoulder, and in a deep gravely voice he purrs

"Isn't it normal for a husband and wife to sleep together?~" 

you honestly felt a shiver run up your spine.

The ghoul, now only in a pair of boxers has now cuddled up to you  his legs intertwined with yours, his arms wrapped around your waist, hand rubbing up and down your back, and head nuzzled into your chest, the demon now pink, purred feeling your hands scratching his scalp, his mother was wrong, you did love him, truly and unconditionally, maybe not now, but soon, he will marry you.

Bonus

It's been days since you met his mother, and it seems like beetlejuice has been back to stop caring about it, but sometimes you see him just staring off into space.

The ghoul had only one thing on his mind, replaying the memory over and over, of you shouting "I REALLY DO WANT TO MARRY HIM!"

Levi x Fem!Reader

.

.

Pain was all you felt. An intense amount of pain as you were bound down to the chair and left alone with your own tears and blood. You didn’t know why, you couldn’t come up with the reason why you were down here.

Maybe it was because of your fathers crimes. Everyone hated him and before he could pay for what he did, he vanished and left that burden onto you. The people who were practically hit men used you as bait, maybe you getting beaten and tortured would have your father running to your side but little did they know that your father hated you too.

All you could hear is the laughter from the men and your screams echoing off the walls, skin being pulled off and fingernails being broken along with a few other broken bones. You were beaten senseless on a daily basis, you were sure you were going to die in that basement until somehow— you barely escaped with your life.

Your broken bones ached, your skin on fire and your body so weak but your bare feet kept running until you had ran into a MP, soon after that, everything was history. You joined the Scouts, only because you felt your whole personality change into some machine and it convinced you to join and be able to protect yourself.

Levi had seeked interest in you right away, the scars that stayed on your skin noticeable and the pain you wore- he could tell you needed some comfort and he could tell you’ve been through hell and he related to you in someway and eventually it turned into a relationship that neither of you were expecting.

It had taken weeks for him to convince you to sleep in his bed but you didn’t want to be a burden, you didn’t want to wake him from your endless amount of nightmares that replayed in your head every night but a part of you thought maybe his company can make the nightmares go away.

So there you were, laid out on his bed, wearing his shirt and a pair of sweats while his arms were lazily wrapped around your body, spooning you and burying his face in the back of your neck while breathing in your scent.

Levi was completely over the moon with you, you were someone kind and amazing inside and out but he didn’t know the true story of your scars and he didn’t pressure you. All he would do is gently trace his fingertips over the scars that stained your skin, reminding you of your worth and beauty.

You sighed as he slept behind you and you hesitated, you didn’t want to fall asleep, you didn’t want to scare him away- it already took you months for you to be comfortable with him. It took you months for you to allow him to be affectionate and touch you, you couldn’t even let him hug you or touch your hand because it made you flinch and it made you believe he was going to hit you.

But he always remained patient, he stayed with you and gave you all the love you deserved to make you feel worthy of love and affection. He stayed by you until you were comfortable enough to let him in and the day you randomly pulled him in for a hug, you startled him. He stood there, wide eyes and hesitated before his arms were securely around your body- making you feel safe.

An hour went by of you staring at his bedroom wall, hearing his soft snores and feeling his breath tickle the back of your neck before you had finally gave in and fell asleep, hoping you’ll have a happy dream for once- maybe of Levi.

But that’s not what happened.

Your dreams were always the same, the echoing of laughter and screaming as chains were yanked and a whip was slapped onto your skin. The slashes on your back open and bleeding uncontrollably. The cuts on your dirty skin had looked infected and were painful, the broken fingernails on your fingertips throbbed and made you cry for hours but your broken ribs had prevented you from crying for too long.

The constant fear you felt, the look on the older mans face as he enjoyed torturing you and making sure you were in severe pain. You’ve even pleaded with them a few times for them to end your life and kill you. One man stared at you, laughing while pressing a knife to your neck and split some of your skin open as your blood leaked onto the blade.

“Hm, not yet sweetheart, I’m not done with you.” He licked his lips as he stared down at you and it just made you feel disgusting.

One day they even tried to touch you inappropriately, cutting your shirt off but another man had stepped in and said it was going too far yet you laid there bleeding out slowly, what is too far for them?

Your body shook in your sleep, soft mumbles escaping your lips until it had woken Levi up from how much you were shaking against him. His tired eyes had moved down to look at you and stroked your hair back from your face.

“Y/N?” He mumbled, firmly grabbing onto your arm and tried to rub it to somewhat wake you up but it wasn’t working.

You were deep in your slumber, deep in your nightmare that all the pain felt completely real as it ran through your body and a startled scream had left your parted lips, frightening Levi and suddenly you shot up in bed.

Your breathing was heavy, tears had soaked your cheeks and you had forgotten about being in his room until his soft hand had reached out and rested on your back, making you flinch and startle him again.

“Hey, it’s just me.” He said quietly, his sad eyes looking into yours and that’s when you started to unravel and break down before him.

Uncontrollable sobs had left your lips, burying your face into your hands and just cried as he rubbed your back and try to be of some comfort. He wasnt all that great at it but he loved you too much to have you sitting here feeling like this.

You couldn’t handle your emotions, you were embarrassed and humiliated that he’s seen you like this, you never wanted to open that part of your past up but it was still bothering you, it was still torturing you and you just can’t seem to shake the past off.

He hesitated, watching you but his heart had broke into pieces seeing how fragile you really are beneath the tough act you pull everyday at work. He sighed, reaching over to wrap his arms around your small frame and pull you into his chest.

You continued to cry, tears sliding down and hitting his chest which made his shirt a bit wet but he didn’t mind- he was giving you time and giving you a moment to let your emotions out.

“I’m here, no one is going to lay a finger on you again, alright?” He assured you, his fingers brushing through your messy hair and you started to calm down, the feeling of his arms securely around you made you feel safe.

You sucked in a deep breath, small hiccups leaving your lips as your sad tear filled eyes stared into his and everything just felt calm again. His presence and his company just made everything a little better, made you feel like you were truly okay.

“I’m sorry.. this is why I was afraid of sleeping in your room.” You admitted, your voice shaky and he shook his head.

“Don’t be ashamed, I still have nightmares from when I was a kid too. It happens.” He mumbled, tucking your hair back behind your ear and you leaned into his soft touches.

You had sat up on the bed, a random feeling of wanting him to know everything, wanting to show him everything. Sure he’s seen the scars on your arms, legs and the small ones on your face but he’s never seen the worse of it underneath your shirt. You looked like some sick voodoo doll- full of stitches and scars.

Your small hands had gripped the edge of your shirt, his eyes watching you and once you were brave enough to lift it up over your head, leaving you in just your bra- he couldn’t hold back the sound he made as his breath hitched in his throat. He’s thought he’s seen it all, he thought he’s seen bad things but this pretty much took the win.

His eyes began to water, he was never the type to show pure emotions but when it came to you and how important you were to him, he couldn’t help the pain he felt in his empty heart. It’s like he can feel all the pain you endured all those years ago in that empty cold basement.

He took his time, leaning over and brushing his fingertips over the patches of skin and the scars that were on your back as tears streamed down his face and he shook his head, feeling angry.

“I don’t even know what to say.. I’m speechless..” He finally spoke up, lost for words as he stared at your skin and you sighed.

“You don’t have to say anything. My past is always going to haunt me and you might as well know, I don’t want to hide anything from you.” You admitted, turning your head to look at him and he embraced you in another tight hug.

“You’re strong and you’re still beautiful.” He repeated, rubbing soft circles on your back and you buried your face into his shoulder, tears threatening to fall from your eyes again.

“You’re safe now.”

You couldn’t help the overwhelming pain you felt inside of your heart, it fluttered by his words but the reminder of your scars and being vulnerable enough to show him outweighed everything. You were terrified. Sure the guys who did this to you are locked away for good but you just felt scared all of the time. What if it happened again? It was constantly on your mind.

But Levi holding you in his arms as tight as he could without hurting you and the way his fingers danced on your skin to trace over your scars and remind you of his love for you, it made you feel safe. It made you fall even harder for him as you felt his lips press gentle kisses on your shoulder blade and even tilted his head to kiss your cheek.

You pulled back to look up at him in the dark, the moon shining the room bright enough to see his features and see the small smile on his face as he admired you and cupped your cheeks. It was hard for him to be this open and show this much emotion but you were worth everything to him, he risked being vulnerable and lovable for you.

“I know telling you about my past and being locked away tortured for weeks is horrible and probably made you think differently of me but..” You started to say but he was quick to cut you off.

“But nothing, why would I think differently of you? This just proves how strong I know you are. I’ll never think differently.” He mumbled, tracing his thumbs over your soft skin and your heart pounded inside of your chest.

You’ve never had someone like Levi, not one bit and having someone in front of you giving you everything you deserved and more was new but thrilling and it made you feel warm after being locked in a cold basement for what felt like years.

You were convinced after escaping that your life would never go back to normal or be normal, you never expected to find someone as loving and caring as him either but here he was, cradling you in the middle of the night making sure you felt okay and secure.

[sriintarou]

- when you go to their game for the first time-

↳ kageyama, hinata and kenma x crush!reader

wahhh, my first post! im a little nervous but i put a lot of work into this blog before i even wrote this so i hope everything works out ahah :p enjoy!

m.list | 9.28.20

-kageyama

✧ at first you couldnt even tell if he wanted you to go

✧ he came up to you while you were at the vending machine and all he said was-

✧ “we have a game tomorrow”

✧ then walked away

✧ so at first youre confused, like, huh? what?

✧ the two of you were friends, from being in the same class but you werent that close

✧ but nonetheless, over some very annoying texting

✧ why is he such a dry ass texter?

✧ you finally get the details about the game

✧ where its at, what time, ect.

✧ so ofc you show up

✧ as the teams warming up he’s kinda lookin around the stadium to see if he can find you

✧ and at first he’s a little sad because he cant see you up there

✧ but then he hears hinata call to him

✧ “kageyama! isnt that y/n up there?”

✧ hinata points up to the stands

✧ and there you are!

✧ you notice them and you give the two boys a little smile and wave, before daichi calls them to join the rest of the team so the game can start

✧ ya know that little :} face that he makes that one time?

✧ thats what he looks like when he turns away

✧ hinata definitely sees and makes some comment on it which gets him a kick to the back

✧ after the game (ofc they win) you two meet up in the hallway and its so painfully awkward

✧ you just stand in front of each other

✧ “uhm, you played really good out there” you said while looking at your shoes

✧ “thanks”

✧ ...

✧ suga, came over to tell kageyama that they were leaving soon, saving the both of you from the awkward situation

✧ he gave suga a curt nod, then suga walked off, leaving the two of you alone again

✧ “well, i better get going, i have to catch the bus” you said looking off

✧ before kageyama could say something you pushed yourself up to get a little taller to press a light kiss to his cheek

✧ you bit your lip to try and hid your smile “see ya tomorrow” and you gave a small wave as you turned towards the door to leave the building

✧ “y-yeah” he said as he was blushing

✧ oh, how hinata couldnt wait to say something to kageyama who was watching from around the corner

-hinata

✧ please as soon as he found out when his next game was, he was already running towards you to invite you

✧ “waaah y/n-chan! please come to my volleyball game tomorrow!” he shouts at you as he ran into your classroom

✧ good thing it was early enough to where the teacher wasnt there yet

✧ but of course, everyone in the room was waiting for your reaction

✧ “oh! uh yeah, definitely!”

✧ god he was so happy to hear that

✧ he was literally smiling the whole day

✧ so when game day rolled around, suddenly he was not smiling

✧ noya and tanaka, being the best upperclassmen, asked whats up

✧ “y/n’s coming to watch the game, what if i miss the ball? :(“

✧ both boys assure hinata that it wouldnt happen, they would make sure of it

✧ once the game starts and hinata gets rid of his usual nervous-ness and gets in the groove, he’s so excited to see your reaction to their quick

✧ to be honest, he kinda blocks everything out, so he doesnt really notice your reactions to everything

✧ he’s too busy trying to win (and not get yelled at by kageyama)

✧ but as soon as the game ends he runs to find you

✧ “y/n! y/n-chan! did you see how cool i was? did you see when the ball was like whoosh!”

✧ you giggle and tell him that yes you did see when the ball went whoosh and he it went gwah and pow into the ground

✧ the two of you find a bench to just sit and talk for a little, not all about the game

✧ he’s smiling like :D the whole time he just loves spending time with you

✧ when he finally has to leave he just hugs you really tight and thanks you for coming

-kenma

✧ okay, to be honest, he didnt ask you to go

✧ kuroo was the one who asked you

✧ if youre friends with kenma then youre friends with kuroo, sorry i dont make the rules

✧ you and kuroo are just waiting around the school gates for kenma, so the three of you could walk home when he brings it up

✧ “by the way, we have a game in a couple days. you should come” he says as he was looking on his phone

✧ you hum, letting him know that you heard him as you thought about it

✧ it would be pretty fun to go and watch kenma play, wouldnt it?

✧ he drops the subject when kenma walks up to the two of you, and you all begin your walk home

✧ youre in your room studying when you make up your mind, you decided to go to the game, though there wasnt anything preventing you from going anyways

✧ when you show up, you get lost

✧ the building is huge, with different gyms and levels to it

✧ even looking at the indoor maps cant help you, its all to confusing

✧ you thought about just wandering around till you find the right gym when you hear your name being called from behind you

✧ “y/n?”

✧ and theres kenma!

✧ you give him a soft smile, ���hey!”

✧ giving him a short explaination on why youre there and how you got lost, turned into the two of you slowly walking back to the correct gym

✧ both of you sit outside the gym as you wait for the other game to finish up, and you slowly lean into him a little more every passing second while he quietly talks about the new game he got

✧ and kenmas trying not to freak out because oh my god youre sitting so close to him

✧ its the icing on the cake when you lean your head on his shoulder

✧ “a-and uh, its b-been a lot of fu-n so far-“

✧ you thought that he seemed uncomfortable, so you moved away but he grabbed you hand lightly to get your attention

✧ “w-wait, i actually liked that..”

✧ aaaah its so soft :(

✧ so you go back to leaning on him and that was kenmas favorite part of going to the game

✧ yes kuroo, its way better than actually playing

please dont repost elsewhere!

Strangers Au (Pt.8)

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

To say that Virgil was terrified wouldve been making the situation perhaps mildly to light, because Virgil was much more than terrified.

He was sitting in his room in a dress that was all to stifling and restrictive despite its deceivingly flowing design.

His husband, who had been possessed for nearly two months now, was laying on the bed behind him, still breathing,but hardly conscious.

And the man who had done it was standing in front of him in the tattered yet regal garb he'd died in, smirking, a glint in his eyes that sent chills down Virgil's spine.

"Thank you, princess, it was getting dreadfully dull in that oaf's body." Romulus cooed, gesturing to Roman. He made a move towards the sleeping prince, but Virgil was faster.

Virgil draped himself over Roman, glaring at Romulus with all the fury he could muster.

"You've done enough harm to my husband. And you're not as safe in your new body as you think you are." Virgil snarled.

"Your husband? Princess how delusional can you be? This man is nothing to you now. You belong to me and only me." Romulus said, grabbing Virgil by the neck and attempting to pull him away from Roman.

That was a difficult task to accomplish, luckily, because it was very hard for someone who's appendages looked like twigs and were, quite literally, brittle as bones; to pull someone twice their weight, away from someone twice their weight and six times their muscle strength.

"Roman!-" Virgil clung to his husband like his life depended on it, and, if he was honest, it most likely did.

"I know baby I know, you just hang on tight ok?" Roman said softly. Virgil made to do as told and latched his arms around Roman's neck. Virgil held his breath as Roman took a running start toward the window, not daring to check if Romulus was following.

"Roman where are we even going?!-" Virgil's voice was a mix between a cracked yell and a laugh.

"To Jan and Pat's place, where else?" Roman said as he picked up the running pace.

"I'm sure they'll be excited to see you again huh?" Virgil said with a grin.

"Virgil as much as I love you, you do realize that the most likely course of action is that they'll think I'm tricking you and try to deck me before I can get through the door," Roman said as he began to slow to a walk.

"No they wont! You and Romulus have completely different vibes!" Virgil said as he knocked on the door.

Virgil was, of course, wrong, as Janis had opened the door with cane and fists at the ready, and had Virgil not intervened, very well might have caused major injury.

"So you rose him from the dead? Virgil of all the stupid decisions-"

"He was threatening you guys! How was I supposed to know it was his body under the house!" Virgil said, he felt like a child being lectured about proper behavior at school.

"Virgil all our houses are protected by so many different spells even ants couldnt get in! We wouldve been fine! And what wouldve happened if Roman had been in some sort of coma or hyper sleep instead? Hm?" Janus' eyes were wide, whether with anger or fear, Virgil couldnt tell.

"Well it's already been done so theres no use in arguing about it. But Romulus left his necklace behind when he earned his new body, which, I think, should be counted as a win," Roman said, gesturing to the wolf necklace hanging off a chain around his neck.

"But how much time are you going to need to learn how to use it? If Romulus has a real form now we cant wait much longer to fight him," Virgil said.

"Baby I know how to make potions, and I should hope I know how to flirt or our relationship would be quite stale," Roman said with a wink and a grin, Virgil proceeded to shove him off the couch.

"Hey!-" Roman said, but he was laughing, he was laughing and smiling and it was almost as if, for just a few seconds, nothing had ever changed.

But all to soon Virgil remembered the task at hand.

"So when do we head back to face him?" Virgil asked.

"Well, we'll have to deliberate, Patton's contacting the others now, and warning them to be on the look out on their way here," Janus said.

Soon enough the living room was crowded once again, and everyone was discussing what they might have to do to bring down their common enemy.

"Ok, so tonight then," Janus said, the rest of the room each gave nods or affirmations of agreement.

"Virgil, we'll need you to lure him out, but if you cant, one of us could muster up a disguise," Janus said, Virgil merely nodded.

"Remus? You have the- crab- army- correct?" Janus said, there was a strained sigh or groan being held back, Virgil could tell.

Remus, who was currently covered head to toe in crustaceans, nodded.

"Logan? You have your weapons?" Janus said, Logan nodded and raised a hand over the lion that had been sitting in the living room for quite sometime, which had the coat and mane of the night sky, rather than tan or brown.

"Patton, Emile, Remy, you've all been practicing correct?" Janus said, the trio nodded.

"As have I, so its settled then? Tonight?" Janus said, and was once again met with nods.

Virgil had never been so stressed in his life, which was saying something, because he was typically always stressed.

And then the clock struck for midnight, and it was time for Virgil to face that fear.

Virgil wasnt about to walk directly up to the door, no, that wouldve made him much to easy to catch.

No, instead, he sent up one of his favored nightmares, a spider named Charlotte, and had her knock on the door.

Virgil gave Romulus only a few moments to notice his presence before he took off running, and he had to run fast, because Romulus was much more athletic than he was.

He backed into an alleyway, hands pressed up against a cold brick wall.

"My my princess, not your smartest decision, hm? I'd have thought you better than this," said Romulus as he inched closer to Virgil at a sickeningly slow pace.

And then Logan's friend the space lion showed up, Romulus was caught off guard, just enough time for Remus' own army. Virgil felt a tug on his arm as he was pulled upward, by Roman.

Romulus had seemed only mildly inconvenienced by the attack, until Emile had shown up.

Now the idea of a therapy being able to do something like this wasnt one that many were comfortable with, but Emile was normally a pacifist, and the screams he was currently eliciting, well, Virgil could assure that they were earned ten fold.

It took ages for the fight to end, and Virgil wouldve loved to celebrate once it had, but it seemed that he suddenly felt ill.

And within a matter of seconds, his vision went dark.

HEATHER — j. potter

“ i wish i were heather “

pairing: james potter x gn! reader

warnings: i’m not entirely sure if this is all gender neutral because it was not gonna be posted originally, so let me know if it’s more fem than anything!! 

word count: 1,663

     THE VERY strong infatuation that james had for lily was long lasting, and definitely nothing he could be blamed for. she was a beautiful girl. she was kind to others, but she definitely wasnt afraid of getting into an argument of defense for herself or her friends. everyone thought of her as some perfect angel, even i couldn’t help to admire her. 

      the only thing that i could find myself resenting her for was the way james felt for her, even then it wasn’t her fault. she hadn’t asked for him to fall in love with her, in fact it seemed like she resented james entire being. that didn’t mean that i didn’t catch the way she’d smile and laugh with her friends afterwards, or the way her eyes lit up when james walked up to perform a dramatic display in hopes of her agreeing to go with him on a single date. the way she let him down, leaving him disappointed made me want to hex her every day until graduation.

      because not only did it hurt to see james sulk, but to sulk over a girl that didnt care for him as much as i did hurt even more. i constantly assured him that any person in the entire wizarding world would be lucky to have him. 

      “i don’t want anyone else. i love lily.”

       everytime he lashed out with that sentence was a knife in my heart, but i couldn’t let him know how much it hurt me. he was the one in need of my comfort and if i let him know then our friendship would be over as a whole and that would hurt more. at least by letting him try for lily, maybe he’d end up happy. that’s all i wanted for him, even i wouldn’t be the one making him so.

      at this very moment, i was sat in a hidden crevice of the library with remus lupin. remus was a very close friend of mine, which is why i was currently venting to him about my feelings for james because i knew he wouldn’t tell. i was wiping consistent tears that spilled out of my eyes and dropped in cheeks with my sweater. a sweater that used to be james before he grew out of it, he told me i’d look better in it and told me that i could wear it to all his quidditch games to show my support for him. 

       there was actually a quidditch match starting very soon, but when i wasn’t early to the gryffindor stans as i usually was- remus began to search for me, leaving us in our current situation. i sniffed once more, wiping away the rest of my tears and gave my friend a sad smile which he returned, leaning forward and hugging me and i wrapped my arms around him. 

       “we should get going,” i mentioned to him, my voice muffled against his chest but i could feel him nod. “don’t want anyone else to worry.” i finished, pulling away slightly to look up at him. “thank you, remus.” 

       and i meant it, now that remus knew, i felt so much better about facing james because now i didn’t have to do it alone because i knew remus would look out for me, and be there for me when i inevitably get my heart torn apart for good. the pair of us walked aimlessly for a while so i didn’t look like i had just bawled my eyes out before we made our way to the quidditch fields, walking up the lengthy stairs to the tower that was decorated in red and gold in spirit of the gryffindor house, the emblem representing the house proudly worn by all the students watching the match as they yelled and cheered.

        the match had already begun by the time we were there so we quickly found seats, luckily sirius had stayed seated and managed to keep two spots for us open. i thanked him as i sat down, turning to face the players on the pitch. i was glad that sirius didn’t ask where the two of us had been, though he’d probably ask remus later. when i looked out onto the field, i could see james on his broom and him glance over at me. my heart stopped and it felt like time had as well, i gave him the best grin i could and a thumbs up for good luck though he always insisted he didn’t need it. 

      he frowned and looked away to focus on the game, it wasn’t like him to get distracted to begin with. it was widely known how passionate james potter was when it came to quidditch. his frown made my guys twist uncomfortably in my stomach, that means that he’d noticed that i’d been late and he’d ask me about it later. that made me want the gryffindor team to win more, if there was a party afterwards then maybe i could slip away unnoticed by him.

      the match only lasted an exact 54 minutes, gryffindor came out victorious. i was proud of the team that my best friend belonged to, but my anxiety was still coursing heavily in my veins and i felt lightheaded at the thought of facing james after pouring my heart out to remus about how in love with him i secretly was. my idea of completely avoiding the celebration tonight was thrown out the window when sirius had basically begged me to make an appearance and i couldn’t say no to him. especially when he didn’t fully understand why i would want to avoid it, he was always just wanting everyone to have a fun time and never wanted his friends to miss out on something he’d consider to be fun. i promised the boys i’d see them later and head back to my own dorm before james could meet up with the group.

- GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM -

     i stood in a crowded corner of the loud gryffindor common room, rubbing my eyes tiredly with one hand and clutching a cup of water in my other. i examined the room, sipping quietly only to almost choke when someone harshly bumped into me. i coughed and quickly turned to look at whoever had done it only to be met with the flushed face of the one person i wanted to avoid. judging by his appearance i could tell that he had gotten ahold of some firewhiskey that sirius usually snuck into these type of events.

      “what do you want james?” i asked after a while of him just staring at me. “so, you and remus. eh?” he immediately sprung out, making my eyes widen. that was the last thing i expected to be brought up and the last thing i wanted to talk about with the boy i was in love with: being with another boy. i began to shake my head in denial, but he leaned forward until our noses were almost touching which made a giant lump grow in my throat. 

      “i saw you two come late to the match.” he clarified, “what, were you two getting it on and lost track of time? i won’t tell.” he whispered with a joking tone near the end, i could feel his hot breath against my face. i used my free hand to push him back, making him stumble lightly with a laugh, as if it were some joke to him. some game. 

      “james, you’re drunk.” was the only thing i could think of saying, anything to get him off the subject for now. he rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand to pull me towards him again but i ripped my hand from his making him pout.

      “james, stop acting like a child and leave me alone. i don’t want to talk to you until you’ve sobered up.” 

      “oh, come on, love! you’re not gonna let yourself have any fun? no wonder you’re sleeping with remus, you two can be so boring.” he joked a little too loudly, his tone made a few heads turned our way and i could feel my face heat up at the attention as well as the implications. i scoffed and pushed him out of my way, i didn’t want to argue with him when he wasn’t in the right state of mind. 

      i made my way half way across the room to the couches, occupying the space next to sirius and remus. i flashed them both a smile so i wouldn’t sour their good time, i glanced to the side to where i had left james but he was already gone. i placed my cup on the table in front of me, no longer wanting it. i brought my hands to my lap, fiddling with my fingers anxiously. 

      after a while of sitting silently between the two boys i called my friends, i leaned over and told remus that i’d be heading back to my dorm and he nodded in understanding. sirius was busy chatting up some girl, as usual, so i sent him a wave as i stood up to leave. i crossed my arms across my chest protectively as i walked through the crowd towards the exit.

      i had finally made it when i heard cheers and screams from behind me, i flinched and turned around to see what i could of possibly missed that made the entire room go wild and my heart dropped as my eyes landed on the scene. on top of a table, stood lily and james with their lips locked. i could feel my throat lock up and my eyes began to blur with tears as i stared up at them. i wiped my eyes quickly and turned to leave, the last thing i could notice was how she was wearing his sweater, making the one i was wearing feel so much heavier.

Lee Dongheon

what a hard-working boy

he spends most of his days watching over his six children making sure they don’t accidentally kill themselves

especially Minchan and Yeonho

moving on

whenever he has a day off he doesn’t hesitate to run and spend it with you

shows up at your apartment with your favorite snacks and special treats

the two of you run around grabbing all the blankets and pillows that you own

you make a large fort in the middle of your living room

once its done you both crawl inside

dongyeon opens up his laptop and puts on a cheesy movie for the two of you to watch

in the middle of the movie he starts to poke at your sides slightly

you ignore him until his poking turns into tickling

you giggle slightly and start to roll away from him

he would follow after you and the two of you would get caught in the blankets pulling down that fort

dongyeon would stop once the two of you were completely wrapped up in all the blankets

he would smile down at you and pepper light kisses all over your face

rubbing his nose against your he would finally kiss your lips gently

‘I love you’

after cleaning up the mess you made you would both decided to go to bed early

snuggling up together, dongyeon would tuck you safely under his chin

whispering to each other until he falls asleep

you carefully crane your head upwards pressing a soft kiss on his chin

you fall asleep to the peaceful sound of his breathing filling your ears

Bae Hoyoung 

i may be in love with this squish

i wanna poke his dimple

move on

he loves doing outdoorsy things

going to the beach, amusement parks anything where the two of you can have fun at

he’s also the kind of person that will totally surprise you about going somewhere

he randomly shows up at you door

‘get dressed jagiya, we’re going out today’

you did as you were told and got dressed quickly

the two of you skipped through the streets happily

you couldn’t contain your excitement when you showed up at a festival

dragging him around you two would find many things to do

he would find a game that he really wanted to play

taking you over he would try many times to beat it so he could win you a cute plushie

after a few tries, he gave up with a pout

you smiled at him and played the game, winning on your try

you would hand him the llama plushie that you had one

‘wah, my jagiya is the best isn’t she?’

the two of you would walk around the festival until nightfall 

hoyoung would surprise you by handing you a lantern

‘shall we send one off with our wishes?’

‘you are my wish hoyoung’

he would cringe at how cheesy you were but tell you the same thing

after sending off your wish he would hug you tightly to him

‘you really are my wish jagiya, forever and always’

Hong Minchan

minchan prefers more intimate style dates

the ones where it if just the two of you together

whether it’s the two of you lying on the couch together

or when you’re reading him a new book that you bought recently

but

his favorite type of date

is when the two of you are in his studio and he’s playing the piano for you

you expressed multiple times that you love it when you hear the sound of a piano

so anytime the two of you are in the studio together he makes sure to play for you at least once

he would motion for you over to sit next to him on the piano bench

you would stand up from the couch and walk over, sitting down next to him

he placed his hands delicately on the keys before playing a soft melody

it’s a melody that you knew all too well

your favorite ballad that he ever wrote

after all

he wrote it about you

about how he first fell in love with you and how he knew that you were the person he wants to be with forever

every time he would play for you, it would make you feel sleepy

your head rested on his shoulder as you continued to sing quietly

he would smile and look down at you as your eyes fluttered closed

his heart would burst at the sight of you

once he finished playing he would carefully shift so you was laying against his chest 

running his fingers through your hair softly 

he would hum quietly until you were finally fully asleep

he would carry you back to the couch and cover you up

letting you sleep until he was finished with his work

that was his favorite time with you

Jo Gyehyeon

this boys only mission in life is to show off

especially to you

he loves it when you praise him for something

it doesn’t matter what it is

so where does he take you out on a date

a place to watch him perform his martial arts of course

you sit and gleefully watch as he does multiple flips and twists in the air

in an attempt to really show off to you he does a triple backflip

only for him to slip on his footing and fall on his butt

‘Ah, hyeonie are you okay?’ 

you run over to him to quickly check up on him 

he just lies there pouting with his arms across his chest

‘i can’t believe i did that’

you giggle and help him sit up

‘i can, you’re not exactly the most elegant one’

would pout even more because you made fun of him

he would whine and complain while rolling around on the floor

‘my jagiya made fun of me, my life cant go on anymore’

you would just watch amused as he continued to complain out loud

he wouldnt be paying attention to where he was rolling and would knock into your legs causing you to fall over 

would freak out because he accidentally hurt you

you would just laugh as he would run over to you 

‘jagiya, are you all right?’ 

you would grab his arm and pull him down so he was lying on top of you

holding him close you would stroke his hair and assure him that you were all right

‘youre the best, you know that right?’ 

would blush like crazy and hide his face in your neck

you would continue to compliment him until he couldn’t take it anymore

‘i’m only the best because you make me the best’

so much fluff and cheesiness between the two of you it’s unreal

Ju Yeonho

this little squish

we are all aware that taking selfies is his life

so what does he do on a date with you?

takes you all around seoul so the two of you can take pictures together

it always surprises you that he always managed to find new places to take you to

but, he loved taking you the han river

he could take pictures of you in the sunset

though he always says that every picture he takes of you is pretty

he especially loved it when you take pictures of him

you always gush about how adorable he looks would cause him to smile even more

‘wah, you look amazing in this angle dont move’

would make you stand still for ten minutes until you convince him that he had enough pictures

he even takes pictures of you eating

‘yeonho, if you take one more picture of me, im throwing your phone in the river’

‘but you look so pretty, can i take one more?’

after you two were finished you would sit in the grass and just watched the stars

you would lie on his chest and point out all the constellations that you see

‘wah my jagiya is so smart, everyone must be so jealous’

while talking, you would eventually fall asleep cuddled to his chest

the second he knew you were sleeping, would pull out his phone and take another picture of you

‘delete it’

‘awe but it’s my favorite!’

Kim Yongseung

so like

mr.competative over here

as soon as you make it to the dorm runs over to you holding to rubiks cubes

‘i bet you i can solve it faster than you’

‘bring it on’

you plop yourselves onto the couch and the boys all gather around you

‘ready? start!’ 

yongseung immediately starts working on it

his hands are flying as he expertly flips the sides

‘wow, noona’s really bad at this’

the boys would mutter about how much you suck causing you to be distracted

‘yah! how can i even try when you wont shut up?’ 

you stand up and throw the cube at minchan

‘it wasnt even me that said it!’

while youre all arguing yongseung stands up and slams the cube on the table

‘finished!’

you look at him in shock

‘that’s not fair, they distracted me!’ 

he just smiles and grabs your hand

‘oh well, time for my reward for winning’

drags you into his room and lays you on the bed

‘you did that on purpose, didn’t you?’

he would just laugh as he hovered over you

‘maybe a little’

kisses you all over your face and neck while holding you close to him

‘i’m sorry ive been so busy lately’ 

you lean your head up and press your lips to his in a way to tell him that its okay

‘never, will i blame you for missing a date because of this, youre doing what you love, and i love that it makes you happy’

you really are the greatest

a very long and well needed makeout session occurs after that

after all, he did win

Yoo Kangmin

uwu

this little bean is so precious and must be protected at all costs

his favorite things in life

are soccer and you

so he loves taking you to the field behind your house and playing soccer with you

most of the time while playing you little siblings come and join along

kangmin loves playing with your siblings

especially your younger siblings

being an only child made it hard for him to have fun most of the time

but now that he has you, he’ll gladly to everything he can to keep you close

even if it means having your little brother cling to his leg every time he walks through the door of your house

would take all of you out to the field to start a game

‘jagiya, come be on my team’

‘no i want her on my team!’

you wink at kangmin before running over to your sister

picking her up and resting her on your hip

‘come on together we can beat Kangmin!’

‘wah, are you really going against me?’ 

‘yep, we can totally beat you’

the game begins and you all laugh as you all run around the field

you little brother went to kick the ball he slipped and fell

he began to cry and rub his face softly 

kangmin would be by his side before you were

‘ah, did you get hurt? are you all right?’

your brother would attempt to wink at you causing you to smile

you would steal the ball from kangmin and kick it down the field

‘you betrayed me? i dont know how to feel!’ 

kangmin would chase after you and wrap his arms around your waist lifting you into the air

‘you tricked my jagiya, thats not fair’

you shrugged your shoulders and looked back at him

‘alls fair in love and war’

‘is it now? ill be sure to use that later’

My Dress-Up Darling – 07 – Like, the Best Thing Ever

Marin really wants to do a group cosplay with Sajuna, even offering to share the expensive studio fees for the shoot. So does Wakana, for that matter, whom Sajuna learns is responsible for Marin’s cosplay makeup. When Sajuna still looked reluctant, Marin did something I’m very appreciative of: she backed off, telling Sajuna to forget about it.

Marin sensed Sajuna wasnt comfortable, and gave her an out rather than keep the pressure on. But the more Sajuna saves on studio fees, the more she can put into her outfits, so she agrees to collaborate “just this once” (it won’t be just this once).

Its not just saving money thought; Sajuna wants to work with someone as dedicated to their craft and detail-oriented as Wakana, who wants to watch every episode of Blaze!! to get a better handle on Shion and Neon. Marin happens to have all 126 episodes on DVD; Wakana just has to come by her place to collect them.

Back home, Wakana is worried about his Gojou Doll skills suffering, but his gramps assures him he’s improved, and his once-stiff strokes have softened. Clearly happy his grandson has met someone, he tells Wakana that he’ll have to observe more than just dolls so be good at making them.

The next day Wakana arrives so early that Marin’s doorbell essentially wakes her up, and she comes to the door with neither a bra nor her color contacts—which I didn’t even know she wore! Naturally, she’s embarrassed far more by the latter, as she’s already upset Wakana’s seen her without her makeup.

Marin is a teenager and takes great pride in the appearance she crafts for the outside world, but she’ll soon come to realize that neither contacts nor makeup matter to Wakana…and despite her thinking he’d never notice she’s not wearing a bra, well…he does, Marin…he does. At any rate, I love her natural dark brown eyes, and I’m sure Wakana does too!

Wakana is so nervous about being in a girl’s house for the first time he’s on the cusp of hurling in Marin’s genkan, but Marin won’t let him simply collect the DVDs and skedaddle, especially when he came bearing fancy pudding. She invites him to her very loud, anime-and-eroge-dominated bedroom to watch the DVDs together.

What results is some of the sweetest few minutes of pure bliss this side of Takagi-san. Wakana, whom Marin is on record as wuving, is not only sitting beside her and watching the anime but actually getting into it. She’s so happy she doesn’t want the moment to end. It’s so adorable and relatable, since there’s nothing like watching (or doing!) something you love with someone you love.

Marin’s Cloud Status falls from Nine to Zero when her stomach lets out a great groan, but even that is an opportunity to move the home date into the kitchen. Wakana initially says he’ll take care of dinner, as always, but kudos for Marin for pushing back and saying no, you’ve cooked enough for me, it’s my turn to feed you!

And while Marin is definitely not going to win any Shokugans, the show doesn’t mock her lack of professional culinary skills, but simply portrays the process of cooking for someone you love (or in her case, wuv) organically. She’s so nervous when he takes his first bite of “omurice” (which he assumes is just fried rice with some egg). But despite how it looks, it actually tastes great! And she knows Wakana is not one to lie about such things!

After Marin and Wakana laugh and cry through the rest of Blaze!! (or at least a good chunk of the run), we rather abruptly shift back to Wakana’s house as he has a combination voice and video call with Sajuna about her Black Lily cosplay. It’s here we learn that despite their very unfortunate start, these two make a good team.

Sajuna in particular is impressed by Wakana’s detailed schematics of the costume, especially when she learns that Marin’s Shizuku-tan was his very first project. She clearly feels it’s just not fair that he’s this good this soon. But Wakana knows he still has plenty of room for improvement, and also wants to learn more about photographing Marin.

So does Marin, for that matter, and for that Sajuna has them meet her little sister Shinju, who is only smaller in years, since she’s almost 5’11” despite being in middle school (compared to Marin, who is just over 5’4″). Shinju is as shy as she is statuesque, but despite Marin being a little too loud about it, she has nothing to fear from her and Wakana.

They, on the other hand, have everything to learn about cosplay photography, since Shinju is clearly very talented if she’s Juju’s photographer. While I’m hoping Wakana starts to pick up on Marin’s vibes, I’m still looking forward to the non-romantic part of the series that remains, involving getting better at this whole cosplay thing by collaborating with two of the best in the business.
