Yaku Morisuke

I want to marry this man and give him that good gawk gawk slurpy upsidedown tornado 2000.3

🍭sweet🍭

c- crush

He’s a confident person but he doesn’t handle failure or rejection super well. It motivates him to do better but it really sits with him and romantically that’s super scary bc he doesn’t really know how to handle it or “do better”. Honestly he won’t ever confess. he is def someone who would like assume you are dating after spending a bunch of time/nights together and doesn’t ever explicitly define the relationship until you ask. Probably calls you his girlfriend in passing and you are like 👁👄👁

t- telephone

Top tier memes. Will bully you if you don’t crop yours. He is annoying but in a funny sarcastic way. He will send you every single vulgar copy pasta he finds bc he thinks their funny. Expect to wake up on Christmas to a message about “being naughty for st. nick” or smth. Will text you to remind you to eat/drink water specifically when you are stressed. Also prefers admitting things via text bc he’s bad at ✨ communication ✨

x- xenia

Shitty host. I’m confident. He likes having his own space and will not let you in if you come over unannounced unless you are in trouble or need help bc ne is a mom friend his place is always really clean and hates when people don’t do things the way he likes but knows that it’s an irrational fear. Will host game nights willingly bc he’s a competitive fuck and loves winning. Will not host any other group hang outs tho.

🌶spicy🌶

c- cum

his cum is a lil runny and messy. That’s unfortunate because he loves fucking you through his orgasm and it’s always messy and sticky. Only has one or two in him but can hold off for a bit. Doesn’t take that long for him to bounce back tho. His loads aren’t super big just always ends up messy. He loves tasting the two of you mixed together and kissing you after.

t- toy

He’s got so many. He’s a dom leaning switch but loves using vibrators specifically. Will fuck you with a vibe on your clit. One) because it helps you take his cock but 2) he loves looking at you squirm and just twitch and cum like crazy. Seeing your cunt twitch is literally the best thing here ever seen. He has a strap and multiple dildos that fit on it for you to chose from. His favorite is a long thinner purple one that also rubs against your clit. Won’t admit it but loves when you use a vibrator on his cock when he’s restrained bc he can’t do anything about it and it’s such a unique feeling.

x- xray

he has a monster dong. not even joking. second biggest dick in hq!! Only second to mattsun “horse cock” issei. thick and long and honestly matches his big dick energy. Everyone in the locker room is 👁👁 at him. has to buy an extra large cup in order to not fucking destroy himself diving for balls. His cock is ... daunting but appetizing. You probably can’t fit yourself hand around it and will struggle to suck him off fully but when you do he nuts instantly bc he’s so proud of u. his tip is always red if he’s aroused and is always coated in precum. Tbt to when @satendou and I spent like an hour and a half talking about Yaku’s dick.

Nishinoya Yuu

🍭sweet🍭

c- crush

Is the most confident. Shoot him down and he’ll just try again. He will eventually get the memo but probably only after kiyoko or suga tell him to stop. Is very honest about how much he likes you but acknowledges and assured you it’s ok if you don’t like him that much. he just feels a lot ok 🥺 not nervous, might bring you a snack/gift when he confesses. Will ask you to come see him play/practice because he thinks he looks cool and he’s right and wants to impress you.

t- telephone

Not the biggest fan of emojis and his memes are less memes but slightly outdated reaction photos. He doesn’t know how to type without caps lock and explanation points but it’s kinda endearing. Types like a stream of consciousness so if he remembers what he’s talking about while trying explain it he just adds it at the end. “IT WAS JAZZ? THERE WAS SAXAPHONE AND FELT ✨SENSUAL✨ I tHINK THERE WAS A BE— CARELESS WHISPER THATS THE SONG” Is one of the only people who uses voice memos. Has a lot to say and uses them to “text” you when he’s working out.

x- xenia

he tries ok. he’s so excited you came over and wants to entertain. His house is endearingly messy. It’s not gross just well lived in. Will offer you anything to you from tea to blankets to like the shirt off his back. ok please hear me out on this part. will smoke you out e v e r y t i m e. he like smoking and it mellows him out and like who are you to say no to free weed.

🌶spicy🌶

c- cum

MESSIEST BOY. MESSY MESSY MESSY. wants to cum on your pussy or fave and play with it. Will pull out just to cum on your push and move it around with his cock. If it’s your face it’s spread on your cheeks and mixed w spit. Can do like 5 rounds but has like zero control over his orgasm. Takes a decent time for him to recharge but if you still wanna go he’ll happily eat you out for hours 😌

t- toys

Has toys but they’re all for you. He has a dildo and few different type of vibrators. He loves buying you cute little plugs and fucking your cunt with one shoved in your ass. If he’s feeling frisky he pushes the vibrator against the plug and you almost always cum immediately. Loves to tie you up with red silks that match his favorite set of lingerie you own. Doesn’t really have an opinion on toys being used on him bc he doesn’t need it but if you insist he will relent and will try anything once. he would love being pegged you just haven’t tried yet.

x- xray

Long dick!!! Why short guys always got long dicks?? Girth is average but length is 🥵. Has a pretty significant curve to the left and is a grower. he might fit all the way in you but it’s gonna hurt a bit. Especially at the page he goes. Curtains do match the drapes. Nearly trimmed with a stupid ass blonde streak that he loves too much. He do a lightning bolt once and that you did like.

Broken Record

Min Yoongi Series

Arranged Marriage Series

Masterlist

MYG x Poc Reader

Warnings: Fluff

Word Count: 1k+

An entire hour and he only looked at you once, if that’s what you could even call it. His cat shaped eyes, glanced over you, as if judging your appearance before we went back to looking down at the table with his arms crossed over his chest. Almost like he was annoyed or something. He was hard to read, so you couldn’t really tell if he was actually listening or if he just got annoyed because of your presence. Either way, it was rude as fuck. Just because he was part of the biggest boy group, he didn’t have the right to treat you this way. 

Min Yoongi, Suga of BTS, was now your husband but he wasn’t putting in any effort so far and you two had been in this room for quite some time. You stayed quiet, only nodding your head when spoken to, which he didn’t see because he was too busy looking over the paperwork, like he was avoiding your very existence. After signing the few documents, you stood up, adjusting your black corduroy skirt and black turtleneck sweater and grabbed your folder before heading out of the room with the others that were present in the room with the both of you. After speaking with your lawyer privately, you waited by the elevator, tapping away at your phone with light pink manicured fingernails. 

Being the owner of a record store wasn’t exactly the best decision you made but it did bring in money. Some people still used record players and even most of the young generation. You had always loved music, especially old music. A record store was always a dream of yours and although you struggled in the beginning, it was all worth it in the end. It was actually Manager Sejin that came to you with the arranged marriage offer. He was a good customer of yours, loved your store and saw how hard you worked everyday and rambled about your love for your passion. You didn’t care about fame, but you did care about at least meeting someone, especially in South Korea. 

You weren’t the skinniest girl, that was for sure. You had an hourglass shape but by no means were you on the thin side, which was probably why it was hard for you to date. You lived in Korea for 5 years, always bought clothes online since most stores didn’t fit you and because of your african american background, you always did your own hair. Right now your hair was straight, medium brown with dark roots. You only had it that way because of the winter and it would last. You weren’t too heavy, a little gut that you were working on but your overall appearance seemed intimidating to most men. If you weren’t small enough for them, you either became a friend or they just never spoke to you again after having a one night stand.

Your bust was slightly bigger than average and your hips weren’t too wide but wide enough. Your medium to light brown skin always had a glow to it though, nothing bothered you and every time someone gave you a disapproving look, you would pretend that you wouldn’t see it. 

Standing by the elevator, you could see Yoongi walking out of the corner of your eye, in the opposite direction of you. Raising a brow, you noticed Manager Seijin approaching with a smile. “He still has some work he wants to work on in the studio if you’re okay with that, he’ll meet you at the apartment later on tonight. He insisted he go back so..” He shrugged and you smiled with a nod. “No problem. Thank you.” You bowed and made your way down the elevator and out to the car that was to drop you off. 

It wasn’t really an apartment but more like a townhome, gated but still in its own little town. You figured the other wives were living here as well and wondered how they were adjusting. Friends weren’t always a thing with you, they came and went but you wondered if the other women would become your permanent friends. All of you were in this arranged marriage anyways. 

Yoongi definitely wasn’t going to ruin your mood for the rest of the day so you keep yourself occupied, setting up your record player in the bedroom and putting on something upbeat so you could dance around while putting your things away. You cleaned as you went, and even lit a few candles so it would smell less like a new apartment and more like a home. He probably was busy and just didn’t have time for you to introduce yourself, it was understandable. 

Once your things were put away, you showered, wrapped up your hair and changed into a comfy two piece pajama pant set, black and yellow shorts, a tank top and long robe to match. You cooked bulgogi and even made enough for Yoongi as well. Placing his in a container and set it on the counter, you figured he’d warm it up when he got home. You ate your portion, alone, and cleaned up before sitting on the couch to watch some t.v while making sure that your new employee closed up the store properly. 

It had almost been 8 hours since the meeting and it was getting dark, and there was still no Yoongi, you sighed heavily, walking over to the window and peeking out. No sign of a car or him walking around. You know you didn’t do anything wrong, yet you felt like you did. Maybe you should have spoken up and said something to him. Maybe you weren’t his type. Rolling your eyes, you shook those thoughts away and walked upstairs and into the bedroom after blowing out the candles you lit earlier. 

The bed was huge, bigger than the one you had previously owned when you lived right above your record store. Everything there was in one room so having the extra space was nice. You remembered you had to exchange numbers with Yoongi so you sent him a quick text, in English, asking if he was coming home. It showed that it was delivered but not read. Tossing your phone on the nightstand, you turned over and quickly drifted off to sleep. 

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

You woke up rather early the next morning, glancing at your phone that read 7:45 am, and with no returned text messages or phone calls. You saw that the text was still unread and you rolled over to seeing nobody there. Sitting up, you noticed the bathroom door was opened so he had to be here. 

Standing up from the bed, you put on your robe and made your way down the stairs and into the living room, seeing Yoongi’s golden locks peeking from under a blanket on the couch. WAS HE FOR REAL?! He slept on the couch, to avoid sleeping in the bed. Maybe he didn’t want to wake you? It had to be that. He probably got back late and didn’t want to disturb your sleep. Going back upstairs to get ready for the day, you dressed in an oversized black sweater, denim blue jeans and kept your black socks on while doing your makeup, something simple and brushing out your hair. 

Walking back down the stairs with a jacket in your hand, you saw him sitting up, his back facing you while he rubbed his eyes and yawned. “Good morning.” You spoke in English, knowing that he knew but all he did was look at you over his shoulder, turn back around and stood up to fold the blanket he was using.

Rude. Rude as hell. Tossing your jacket on the back of the couch, you walked into the kitchen, seeing that the container was empty and in the sink. Well, at least he ate. You thought while cleaning it out and placing it on the drying rack. “I said, good morning. Yoongi.” You said his name this time and he deeply sighed before looking at you again while walking past you and up the stairs. 

An hour later when he came down, fully dressed with one air pod in his ear, talking on the phone in a conference call with the boys. “She doesn’t even know Korean. She made food last night, it was pretty good though, but I’m not teaching her Korean just because we’re married...Taehyung you like your wife and so does Hobi...I don’t have to like her...no she’s not ugly but that’s besides the point. They found me some Koreaboo that probably only likes me because of BTS. This is a set up…” He rambled while you cooked, almost burning the eggs after hearing what he was saying. He didn’t know you knew Korean which meant he wasn’t listening in the first place and a Koreaboo? How insulting. 

Humming to yourself, you finished the omelets and side of toast and poured both of you cups of coffee. “Breakfast.” You said slowly to him, smiling. He rolled his eyes and hung up with the guys after telling them that you think he didn’t know much English. He sat down, eating slowly and sipping his coffee. You leaned back in your seat, watching him and shook your head while giggling. His eyes darted up at you and he tilted his head to the side in confusion. 

You cleared your throat, finishing your food and waited for him to finish his, cleaning the dishes once again and went over to grab your jacket. “I think we should go grocery shopping, I only bought enough for the Bulgogi last night. I’m glad you thought it was good, maybe I can try other dishes that you like and don’t worry about teaching me Korean. Clearly I already know it. Ready to go?” You said all of this while putting on your shoes and zipping up your coat, turning to face him.

His mouth was slightly agape while staring at you, as if you had just said the most horrifying thing he ever heard. His face was flushed red with embarrassment and he quickly shut his mouth, slowly putting on his coat. He didn’t say anything, just waiting for you to walk out so he could follow behind. You smiled and walked out of the door. That shut him up.

Haikyuu!! baseball AU - karasuno edition

a lil baseball au for karasuno w/explanations for each plus a few headcannons for play styles!

Daichi

2nd baseman

2B covers both first and third base, requiring a player who is mindful of all teammates strengths and weaknesses and able to cover for them

you need a good arm to play 2B, as well as good aim, and Daichi’s aim is near perfect

Daichi can catch even the most aggressive of hits, and his quick reflexes help stop the ball before it makes it past the infield

he is a powerful hitter but lacks the precision to aim where he wants

runs quite fast, can usually dive for 2nd base if he tries

Sugawara

catcher

the catcher leads on defensive plays and has the full view of the field, and therefore must be smart and be able to strategize quickly, two of suga’s strengths

the catcher is the team’s emotional focal point, and usually has to calm the pitcher down when worked up

catchers and pitchers also usually use hand signals to quickly decide plays without alerting the other team

has a pretty weak hit but can aim fairly easily

a good sprinter but tires easily

Asahi

1st baseman

1B should ideally be tall and strong, which Asahi is both! not only strength in throwing, but strength in catching fast balls

1B is expected to cover for other’s throwing mistakes, so they have to be okay with leaving the base for the 2B to cover

1B comes in contact with the ball a lot, and while the pressure of constantly being relied on wore on Asahi, he came to enjoy having others look to him to stop plays

the powerhouse hitter of the team, forces the other teams to push their outfielders way back, but can usually manage a few homeruns per game

not the fastest, but his strong hits mean he has more time to run so long as the outfielders don’t throw it fast enough

Nishinoya

center fielder

CF are in charge of all outfielders and primarily go after the ball the most, and Noya loves diving for crazy fast and crazy high balls, his speed being his biggest advantage

CF covers both left and right fielders, and covers for their errors

CF always has 2nd bases back in case a player tries to steal or a force out is in play, and Noya eagerly rushes to cover for Daichi if he has to step off 2nd

his batting is average but he zips around the bases before anyone even realizes, loves to steal any chance he gets

Tanaka

3rd baseman

3B is the hot corner for most players (unless you’re a lefty) which means they have to have quick reaction time and know where all runners are at all times

Tanaka intimidates the other team with his lightning fast reflexes and how closely he shifts forward from the plate to discourage blunts

gotta have a strong arm to play 3B, but Tanaka occasionally throws too hard and Asahi has to jump or let right field cover him

another powerhouse hitter with incredible running speed, but can sometimes fall for pitcher’s baiting them or messing them up with quirky pitches

he likes to steal bases like Noya, but is a bit more obvious with his leading and gets caught often

Kageyama

pitcher

pitchers (especially good pitchers) only have one goal: to get the batter out with their pitches alone, and Kageyama has perfected his fastballs and curve balls

pitchers have to cover for everyone infield and are usually under the greatest pressure, so they must thrive under that, and Kags’ focus only increases with every play

the team trusts him to make the right calls, and if he ends up with the ball, he’ll throw to whoever he needs to in order to get the out and keep them from scoring a run

he’s a fairly decent batter with average running speed, and will almost always risk sliding into second or third base if he can get away with it

Hinata

shortstop

shortstops are usually tall because they need to cover the gap between 2nd and 3rd, but Hinata makes up for that with his speed

shortstops need a good arm and good aim; hinata’s arm is great, but his aim is not always perfect

covers 2B a lot, relying on Daichi to snag the ball and throw it to him to get the out

not a powerful hitter but has a great eye and can hit even balls intended to be strikes, also incredibly fast at rounding bases

can usually taunt players into thinking he’ll steal bases, other teams have a hard time telling whether he’ll try to steal or not

Tsukishima

relief pitcher, right fielder

switches in and out with Kageyama; though Kags has fast pitches, Tsuki is good at playing mind games with the batter and tricking them into swinging at bad pitches, and their deadly rotation keeps the other teams on their toes

when he’s pitching, he and Sugawara can come up with quick plays and can calm their team down when the stakes are high

if Tsuki knows a batter is powerful, instead of risking a homerun, he’ll usually intentionally walk the batter

he’s not a strong hitter or runner, but he isn’t easily fooled by crazy pitchers and won’t be baited into swinging at bad balls

when playing in RF he doesn’t have a powerful arm, so he’s thankful the ball doesn’t come to him as often

Yamaguchi

right fielder

RF don’t get the ball that much (unless the batter is left-handed), but often has to cover 1B

RF needs a strong arm to throw all the way to 3B, and usually has to rely on Daichi or the pitcher to throw it the rest of the way

he’s a good strategizer and figures out batter’s habits pretty quickly, and will often call out where he thinks the ball will land, which is almost always correct

he’s a quirky batter who can trick the other team into thinking he’ll swing and then goes for the blunt, but he can also aim with great accuracy to the other team’s weak spots 

not a fast runner and is usually too scared to slide into base

Ennoshita

left fielder

LF has to cover for 3B, which, luckily for Ennoshita, Tanaka is a strong 3B, but when it slips past him, Ennoshita is quick to recover

he has a strong arm and good eye for which runner is the easiest to get out first

knows noya is way faster than him and lets him get the balls he can’t, but he still has his work cut out for him when hinata misses a ball infield

he’s a decent batter and average runner, but he sometimes gets too eager and swings at bad pitches

LF is required to cover 3B, and Ennoshita will sprint to the bag if Tanaka leaves

Haikyuu Musician AU: Composers and Conductors

based on the 2018 Haikyuu!! Concert art.

Hinata and Kageyama

* Hinata is a musical disaster. He’s always messing around with different styles and techniques. And “mess” is the correct word. He’s always “messing.”

* Until recently, he was a music ed major, content with teaching little brats recorder, but he went to a lecture featuring a composer named Udai Tenma and got inspired to WRITE.

* He has almost no technique, he slept through any and all 8 a.m. music theory classes he had, but somehow he’s churned out the most mind-bogglingly innovative compositions.

* He constantly fights with Kageyama on artistic vision, but they adore each other and are basically attached at the hip.

* From the beginning, Kageyama had a reputation for being a musical genius but an absolute ass to everyone around him. His first orchestra completely quit on him because of his controlling attitude. He kind of faded from the limelight for awhile, and then popped back in with Hinata by his side.

* An overly serious perfectionist.

* He’ll roast Hinata’s music constantly, but god so help however else tries to badmouth his precious sunshine.

* He famously almost threw a public tantrum over a critic of a popular music magazine insulting Hinata. The only reason he didn’t commit murder was because of Suga.

Daichi and Suga

* Daichi and Suga work for the same organization as Kageyama and Hinata.

* They’re the power couple of the music world. It’s adorable. They’re always at each other’s events.

* Daichi’s music was steady, kind of plain, he didn’t like going out of the box a lot. People accused him of being too normal. Then he started coming out with weird shit. Nobody complains anymore.

* Does a little bit of everything. He’s currently working with Director Ennoshita on a musical movie.

* Suga is a steady, average conductor with a playful attitude and an reputation for simultaneously being a mom and a demon.

* Gets really pissy and stressed for all his concerts a week in advance, but has relaxed a bit, since Kageyama is around to bear a lot of the burden.

* He’s taken Kageyama under his wing quite a bit.

* King of passive aggressively blacking mailing his (and Daichi’s) enemies. It doesn’t always succeed, but he has managed to soften to blows to his and Daichi’s work.

Iwaizumi and Oikawa

* Iwa-chan strictly writes film scores. He’s mostly done action and thriller movies. (He’s collaborated a lot with a certain Director Ennoshita.)

* His life long dream has been to compose the score for a Godzilla movie.

* He and Oikawa were college roommates. Iwaizumi was a comp major and Oikawa did music education. They have continued to live together.

* They teach kids together during their free time.

* Oikawa has dabbled in composing as well, but he sucks ass. Usually he gets inspired by Iwa-chan and just runs with it...Into the ground.

* On the other hand, he is the best conductor out of the bunch. He takes the shit-talking in stride, maybe even encourages it a little bit. Even though they bully him, his orchestra genuinely respects him. He has a commanding presence and a will that must be followed.

* Ushijima wanted Oikawa to be his prep conductor, but Oikawa gave him the middle finger and ran back to Iwa-Chan.

* He’s currently mentoring an up-and-coming conductor named Yahaba, and everyone is afraid. It’s like looking at two Oikawas, the salt level is so high.

Kuroo and Kenma

* Kuroo is surprisingly controlled and elegant in his writing. You won’t get any weird, modern bullshit from him.

* He gives off an intimidating aura of “fuck with my music and you’re dead.” Kenma fucks with his music all of the time and he doesn’t mind.

* As soon as he gets out of a professional situation, he reverts back into a fun-loving, manipulative little shit.

* Tries to set up his fellow musicians. There’s a reason one of their percussionists somehow started dating the concert master.

* BFFs with Bokuto. They are constantly collaborating.

* Kenma’s orchestra adores him. He’s not great and socializing and would honestly rather be in bed than dealing with their raucous asses, but he has come to appreciate them too.

* Originally didn’t want to conduct at all. He’s a composer at heart.

* He writes video game music in his spare time and is working on his goal to program and write the music for a game idea he has.

* He’s friends with Hinata, but feels as if he could never work with him.

Ushijima and Shirabu

* Ushijima is considered one of the best composers of his generation.

* Writes the most bombastic pastoral shit ever. He has several large-scale works dedicated to farming. If anyone thinks this is amusing, they don’t dare tell him.

* I swear, the guy’s probably written an entire opera about a farming catastrophe that somehow got raving, five star reviews.

* (Side note: my choir is singing “Make our garden grow” by Bernstein, and I keep thinking about Ushijima ^^’)

* Shirabu is Ushijima’s prep conductor, since Ushijima likes doing the performances himself.

* He’s actually Ushijima’s third choice of a prep conductor after Oikawa and Semi, but Oikawa hates Waka’s guts and Semi had some...artistic differences with Wakatoshi. Shirabu showed up, intent of conducting for Ushijima with the skills to back it up, so they went with him instead. (Also, Semi wasn’t a big fan of the farming operas.)

* A salt cake. He roasts everyone, especially Goshiki, their new trumpet player.

* Feels kind of bad about how set (haha) Ushiwaka is on getting Oikawa in as his conductor, but never actually says anything.

* (Ushijima is absolutely 100% happy with working with Shirabu, but is really bad at expressing it and toning down his enthusiasm for Oikawa’s work. So...MISUNDERSTANDINGS? FANFIC FODDER >:D)

Bokuto and Akaashi

* Bokuto’s music is just as moody as his personality

* He’ll be working on a tonal orchestra piece with romantic strings and sappy bullshit one day, and then the next day he’ll have pulled the weirdest serialist shit from his ass.

* You can definitely tell he’s Hinata’s mentor.

* Fortunately, Akaashi’s used to it and excels at adapting. His even-tempered style contrasts with the shit Bokuto gives him, but it somehow works.

* Like Kuroo, Bokuto tries to set up his colleagues, but he’s not as skilled at it as Kuroo is and ends up making a fool of himself.

* Akaashi is Bokuto’s biggest fanboy. He cries more during his premieres than Bokuto does.

* The orchestra he conducts has a respectable reputation, but didn’t get much attention. Then Bokuto showed up and was like “hey, how do you feel about twelve-tone serialism?”

* Akaashi was skeptical, but quickly fell in love with Bokuto’s vision.

* Akaashi originally played violin, but sustained an injury before college and went for music Ed instead.

The love story

This post is part of the TSU. It belongs to the second part: Towards adulthood.

BTS wrote a lot of love songs and they follow the same global reflection as the other themes discussed by the boys. As the songs are pretty self-explanatory, this post will rather focus on studying them globally, to see if they form a coherent story.

Before starting, we need to consider BTS’ songs structure for a little second. Most of the time, each rapper has a verse and then the vocal line sings together during the chorus. So if you want to tell a story, considering the chorus is always the same thing, it will happen in the verses and thus will be told by the rappers. Which means we can have up to three points of view.

This leads us to the biggest problem with the love story from BTS songs: we don’t know how many boys and girls are involved. So I’ve arbitrarily decided to apply the rule of the simplest version: if it makes sense with one boy, then there’s only one boy. Also, when I say “the Boy”, it’s just the main character of the song.

The macho

This story starts rather sadly. Bangtan’s first two love songs are post-break-up songs. “좋아요” (I like it) is about the Boy stalking his ex’s Facebook and “Coffee” about the Boy remembering his ex, comparing their relationship to a sweet caramel macchiato and their break up to a bitter Americano.

As the Boy has other things to consider during 2 Cool 4 Skool and O!RUL8,2?, he doesn’t look for love and it’s only in the last song from O!RUL8,2?, namely “Outro: Luv In Skool”, that a new love is brought up:

“Even though I drink coffee and open my eyes I still feel like I’m going to fall asleep oh no no I often drew it up, if I ruled the world I feel like I would put you by my side again Tell me that it’s not too late If this is a nightmare, please save me quickly Take a good look, I’m still waiting for only you”

As they’ll often do in future releases, they reference their own songs in another song. “Coffee” and “If I ruled the world” are both from O!RUL8,2?, which theme is finding happiness before it’s too late. It thus appears that the Boy has come to the conclusion that to escape the sadness of his previous break up and to find happiness, he needs the love of the Girl. The song ends with Jungkook asking “Girl do you wanna go out with me?”

Suga explained in his review that “Intro: Skool Luv Affair” follows the outro and shows how each rapper would propose. The song concludes with hip-hop being the solution because it’s “Bangtan’s style”. It’s so much Bangtan’s style that in the video there are actually more “hip-hop” elements - radio, sneakers, “wassup”, caps, skateboards - than ones relating to love - a couple, hearts, roses. The continuity with O!RUL8,2? is also shown through symbols appearing in the intro videos of both albums - round, triangle, square, five-branch star.

In the lyrics of “Boy In Luv”, the Boy wonders how he could ask the girl out and prove he’s a “real man” (“상남자” which is actually the name of the song in Korean; it’s not as sexist as it sounds in English though, it’s more “real man” as in someone strong enough that you can trust them, someone responsible). It’s also implied the girl is playing hard to get:

“Even if you act like you don’t know me or act cold I cannot push you away I want to be your oppa I’ll become your man, just watch”

In ”Where Did You Come From” it’s Suga’s and J-Hope’s turn to flirt with a girl while speaking in satoori (Suga explains it in his review).

“Boy In Luv” MV seems to summarize those three songs:

the intro of the MV fits with “Outro: Luv in Skool” (it’s “Just One Day”’s instrumental that’s playing though): we see the Boy - played by our international playboy falling in love at first sight with the Girl - he possibly asks her out a first time: “Girl do you wanna go out with me?” and is rejected because she’s playing hard to get. (Note that based on the photo concept and on later content, it’s also implied Jungkook has feelings for Yoongi but it’s an element belonging strongly to the BU so I won’t consider it further here.)

Then the Boy’s friends help him, each rapper explains how he would confess (”Intro: Skool Luv Affair” and “Where Did You Come From?)

And in the end, Jin goes to fetch the girl and brings her to Jungkook so he can confess himself - it was decided while filming to add Jin’s and Jimin’s scenes with the girl. As she accepts the flower, we can conclude the Boy and the Girl start going out.

However, it’s explained in “Just One Day” that they have difficulties meeting:

“Just one day, if I had time I want to get drunk in your sweet scent And fall asleep soundly In the midst of my tightly-packed schedules If I had an opportunity I want to soak myself in your warm deep eyes”

I didn’t mention it until now, but as there are always biographical elements in Bangtan’s songs, the Boy sometimes has an idol life - here the tightly-packed schedule; in “Coffee”, there’s also the line “Girl, I’ve debuted, this one phrase should do it, right?”. It’s rarely talked about though and most of the time the Boy is just an average guy.

Another thing to note, about the MV this time, is how the boys are in the light but also surrounded closely by shadows. As if the end is already near when they’re still dazzled by their bright love.

It doesn’t stop the Boy, however, and so in “Outro: propose”, he’s fully in love:

“(Good to you) You’re the only one for me (Good to you) Even with this distance between us Always stay by my side (Good to you) You’re my everything Even if tomorrow brings us trouble Hold my hand”

You can fit “Miss Right” here too if you want.

The disillusion

Dark & Wild has two parts: the first half is “dark” and the second, starting from the interlude is “wild”. It’s a plot twist to the fairy tale we had until now: while the Boy is still deeply in love, the Girl isn’t invested in the relationship.

At first the Boy wonders, in “Intro: What Am I To You?” and then he directly warns the Girl, in “Danger”, as he gets angrier. We have similar ideas in the sentences written next to the boys in the photo book from the album:

RM: “I wanna be loved so bad”

S: “Luv turns to anger”

J: “My luv ain’t going nowhere”

JH: “My heart is full of you”

V: “U R the only one I need”

JM: “I luv U however painful it would be”

JK: “Why don’t U luv me like I do?”

Sadly, as we can see in the Japanese version of the MV, the girl doesn’t answer. And the boy ends up going to a club.

The next song on the album is ”War of Hormone”. The song where the Boy hits on a girl. A song that actually belongs to the “dark” half of the album and not the “wild” one. A song that happens when the Boy is arguing with the Girl. So yeah, if you interpret “War of Hormone” in the globality of BTS’ discography, you can see it as a possible cheating attempt made out of anger (it’s obviously a heavy over-interpretation):

“Hello hello (what!) Hello hello (what!) Tell me what you want right now Hello hello (what!) Hello hello (what!) Imma give it to you girl right now Even though you say that you’re not mine, you’re the best”

So the war would not only be the surge of sexual hormones but also the war between the love for the Girl and the anger against Her.

For love songs, this half of the album is concluded by “Let Me Know”. The Boy knows his relationship with the Girl has ended, but he still begs for her confirmation, possibly in hope that she’ll kill the last bits of love he still feels towards her:

“I just wanna know know know I just wanna know know know My regret is still standing in front of the ending sign So please say something to me Girl, let me know”

Fortunately, the “wild” side of the album is a bit more hopeful. Hard to tell if the girl for this part is the one the Boy met in “War of Hormone” or if it’s a new one, all we know is that he met someone and he’s trying to woo her. “Interlude: what are you doing” is a phone call and the only lyrics are “what are you doing”. It’s a deduction based on the next songs but it seems this “what are you doing” actually means “are you busy? Are you free to hang out with me?”.

“Blanket Kick” happens after the meeting. The Boy is kicking his blanket out of frustration because he failed at seducing Her and ridiculed himself:

“Once again I only do weird things in front of you You’re so pretty pretty pretty Oh Why did I do that I’ll launch a kick at my blankets in my sleep”

His frustration is all the more understandable when you consider the next song, namely “24/7=Heaven”. He has it really bad for Her:

“24/7 I thought only of you all day”

“24/7=Heaven” also gives details about their first date:

“The first date with you I keep getting excited like a child These days I’m Sunday Where the sun named you has risen, Sunday”

Their love is confirmed in “Look here”:

“At first it was mere curiosity As I started to show interest in you Holy Shhh Yeah, even if you ignore me The time when you fall for me, for a minute We look rather good together, without you I'm like a Seoul City without lights I wait for an opportunity to fill your empty spot, a rabbit hole graffiti The play called A day without you is a tragedy”

“At first, You answered once when I texted ten times But later, You call me first and look for me all day”

It also appears this time the Girl loves the Boy back.

“Outro: does that make sense?” is a bit hard to interpret because we can’t really know if the lyrics are about the current Girl or the previous one. The main idea here is that they fell out of love:

“Does that make sense? You, do you think that makes sense? That our love changes so easily So that nobody notices, so that I look fine, I’m with you but now I’m crying at the mere sight of your facial expression Explain it, explain it, explain it girl My baby explain it, explain it I hate you to death but I still think of you even now”

The School trilogy ends like this. It’s the only series with albums where love (for someone else) will be the main theme. The conclusion is rather dark for the Boy: no matter his efforts to be loved, his love always ends badly. If we refer to the coming-of-age story structure, this moment would be the hardship that counters the Boy’s vision of the world. It’s thus in a rather depressed state that he enters his youth.

The beggar

An important shift happens here. We have more reflections about inner feelings and a bit less about the outside world. There’s another difference, with the title song. RM said in the #hashtag interview:

“‘I NEED U’ is the title song. As you can feel from the title, ‘Ah~ I do need you’ trying to hold the love which is about to end. Singing the anxiety and wandering of the youth.”

More than the approximative subs provided by 1theK, what we can note is that the title song is one aspect of the theme of the album: “I NEED U” is a sad love song and 화양연화 Pt.1 is the pains of youth in general.

With the notable exception of “Converse High”, all the love songs in 화양연화 Pt.1 have the same basis, namely the Boy can’t stand the idea of the girl leaving him alone:

“Girl I would rather rather we break up Girl say that it wasn’t love love I don’t have that kind of courage Give me one last present So that I won’t go back anymore” - “I NEED U”

“Without you, I can’t breathe Without you, I’m nothing Open your closed heart, dampen my heart Give me an embrace so I can feel you” - “Hold Me Tight”

“Tell me why you’re trying to go so far away In your eyes Do you not see me anymore Uh Love, it’s a hurtful and hurtful thing yeah It feels like goodbyes are hurtful And more hurtful” - “Outro: Love is not over”

“Converse High” is closer to something like another “Intro: Skool Luv Affair” or “Where Do You Come From?”. It’s each rapper giving a point of view on the matter, which is not necessarily theirs (Suga said he had nothing against Converse and that his verse was just to oppose RM’s):

“You know what I want A white t-shirt, denim shorts and Red Converse Highs That’s it”

“Rather than those stars in the sky I’d rather see them stars on your shoes Haha all without Namjoon knowing”

“Converse converse I really hate a converse”

Maybe we can see this song as the Boy’s friends talking, reminding us that love can be at a different stage for everyone. Let’s be very clear, this last sentence was highly over-interpretative.

“FOR YOU” was released around this time too, so if you want, you can interpret the girl leaving as something literal. After all, we have no explicit lyric about a break-up, so she possibly just left for Japan and the Boy can’t stand the long-distance relationship.

In 화양연화 Pt.2, the love story and the Boy’s life blur together. It’s the stage where he flies away to an alternative dreamlike world to escape adulthood. It’s the butterfly dream story. In “RUN” and in “Butterfly”, the Boy runs after the butterfly leading him to the dream world. He’s aware of the fragility of this world, however, since he’s extremely scared to touch the butterfly and to see it shatter to pieces:

“Like a flower whose memories are dry All broken into pieces From the tips of my fingers, from underneath my feet Behind my running back As if chasing a butterfly, like wandering through a dream Following your traces Please tell me the road, please stop me Please let me breathe”

“Will you stay by my side Will you promise me If I touch (you), you’ll fly away and break  I’m scared scared scared of that

Will you stop time If this moment passes As though it hadn’t happened I’m scared scared scared I’ll lose you”

In “Dead Leaves” and “Outro: House of Cards”, he realizes it will fail. The butterfly is alive and flies, it goes up. The leaf is dead and falls, it goes down, it leaves the dream:

“Don’t go far far away Baby you girl I can’t hold onto you Baby you girl I can’t give up on you Like the dead leaves that fell This love, like the dead leaves Never never fall It’s withering”

“A house made of cards, and us, inside Even though the end is visible, even if it’s going to collapse soon A house made of cards, we’re like idiots Even if it’s a vain dream, stay like this a little more”

The photo concept for Young Forever is similar. In the Day version, the boys rise in a hot-air balloon and in the Night version, they’re camping - so it’s just a temporary stay.

Coming back to reality and seeing how frail and short life is, the Boy begs in “Save Me”:

Don’t wanna be lonely Just wanna be yours

And by placing himself at the mercy of the Girl, he becomes her prisoner.

The prisoner

Only two songs can be considered here: “Boy Meets Evil” and “Blood, Sweat & Tears”. The Boy thinks the Girl is the key to happiness, so no matter how she hurt him, he’s still tempted to go back to Her. The Girl probably represents different aspects like the protective mother, the sexual partner, the best friend, the sister… in which the boy could find some relief - affection, sex, support…

The whole “Boy Meets Evil” is about this relief: the Boy knows that “Too bad it’s too sweet”. It’s similar and different in “Blood, Sweat & Tears”. The Girl still is a devilish temptation but we can probably take it in the context of Demian - it’s also confirmed in the WINGS Concept Book that “Blood, Sweat & Tears” shows the act of rebelling against God. By deduction, the Girl can be associated with Beatrice, that makes Sinclair stop drinking and go back to a healthy lifestyle:

“Kiss me even if it hurts Come, tighten me (up) Until it can’t even hurt anymore Baby, even if I get drunk it’s alright, I’ll now drink you up Deep into (my) throat, (with) you as the whiskey”

The Boy admitted his love for the Girl was toxic but he still hasn’t found an alternative to save himself until now. She’s his only way to reach happiness.

 The boy and himself

And so it’s finally time for Love Yourself. The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm is essential here. If we summarize the 148 pages in a few words: love is an art and is thus something that you work on, that you perfect with discipline and faith, that’s both collective and individual, that needs to be acted on rather than thought about, and that’s killed by capitalism and vainly replaced by consumerism.

Bad news though, the Boy hasn’t understood yet. The same way Beatrice triggered Sinclair into a creative strike (that eventually led him to himself), the Girl from “Blood, Sweat & Tears” pushed the Boy into a love blackhole.

This time, he’s so despaired he calls their love destiny and he puts all his hopes into it:

“You are my penicillium The one who saved me My angel My world I am your calico cat One who came to meet you Love me now Touch me now”  - “Serendipity” (”Flower”, the poem referenced in the lyrics also emphasises how the lovers need each other to exist)

“From the days when the universe was created To go on for infinite centuries Probably from a previous life, and in the next lives to come Since we’ll be together forever

Since all this isn’t coincidence Since the both of us are the ones who have found destiny” - “DNA”

“Don’t lie, you are indeed an angel” - “보조개” (Dimples)

“There’s no me without you”

“You got the best of me So please just don’t leave me” - “Best of Me”

“The answer To all my wonder(s) I call you her, her Cuz you’re my tear, tear” - “Outro: Her”

“Outro: Her” announces the next part, namely Tear, where the Boy finally understands putting all the responsibility for his own happiness on his partner and altering his own personality to please said partner isn’t good.

Tear is the development of this outro. The Boy knows but he refuses to let go of his toxic relationship, not after putting so much of himself into it:

“Even in the dream that I briefly enter The torturous phantom pain is the same as ever

Did I lose myself Or did I gain you”  - “Singularity”

“I wanna be a good man just for you I gave the world just for you I changed it all just for you Now I dunno me, who are you? In the forest just for us you weren’t there I forgot the route that I came by Even I became unsure who I was before Talk nonsense at the mirror, who are you really” - “FAKE LOVE”

“We need to believe in only us Don’t let go of our two hands We need to be together forever

Others say If you’re like this, you’re the only one that becomes a fool But I don’t wanna use my head” - “Love Maze”

In the outro of this album, each rapper consider the meaning of the words “tear” and “fear” (see RM’s behind at 45:00). No matter how hard he tried, the Boy can’t save himself like that

“We walked towards the same place But this place becomes our last Although we used to talk about forever Now we break each other without mercy Although we thought that we dreamed the same dream That dream has finally become a dream My heart is torn, please burn it instead So that pain and regret, none of that would be left 

You’re my tear”

The word dream is quite present. The Boy left the dream world but he still longs for it - the forest from “FAKE LOVE” can probably be linked with the forest in Kafka on the Shore, a sort of ideal world.

“The truth untold” could be included but considering how it’s a reference to Smeraldo, I’ll rather leave it with the BU content.

And finally, in Love Yourself 結 Answer, the Boy realizes the solution is simply that he should love himself:

“I’m the one I should love in this world My shining self, my precious soul I finally realise it So I love me Even if it’s a little lacking, it’s so beautiful I’m the one I should love” - “Epiphany”

“You’ve shown me I have reasons I should love myself” - “Answer: love myself”

The epilogue of the relationship between the Boy and the Girl can probably be found in the trivia and in “I’m Fine”.

The innocent Boy from 起 Wonder just wanted to have fun:

“I like the feeling of being together, with you I like the dances that we dance together, with you I just wanna, wanna, wanna I really wanna, wanna, wanna Just dance” - “Trivia 起: Just Dance“

The one from 承 Her put a lot of importance in the other person:

“You are the person Who’ll change my recollections into memories A person who’ll change a person into love Before I knew you My heart was, in its entirety, just a straight line” - “Trivia 承: Love”

The one from 轉 Tear understood it was vain to continue:

“The start was, well, fun With the up and down in itself Before I knew it, we became tired of each other In the meaningless waste of emotionsThe repeated seesaw, seesaw game By this point, I’ve become tired, tired of it” - “Trivia 轉: Seesaw“

The one from 結 Answer answers to the sad Boy from Young Forever and can finally say he’s alright, on his own:

“It’s okay, because I’m my only savior With ugly steps, I live without ever dying How you doin? I’m fine” - “I’m Fine”

Forget the Girl, ARMY is better

With Map of the Soul: Persona, BTS acknowledges the precious friend that has always been there for them, ARMY. They don’t need to find love in a stranger to be happy, they just need to love and care for themselves and the ones close to them.

Mafia’s Girl Pt. 10 [End]

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader

Word Count: 1878

Warnings: None whatsoever 

Genre: Fluff asf

Summary: Being kidnapped and hired by the biggest gang leader in your city was never part of your plan. Yet here you are, working for him now, doing odd jobs here and there, nothing too dangerous. Little did you know he wanted more from you than to be just another employee. He planned to make you his. How exactly was he going to do that? With your attitude it wasn’t going to be easy, but what Suga wants, Suga gets, every time. Would you be the exception?

***

Standing in front of the mirror you give yourself one long look and take a deep breath.

"Why are you nervous? Out of all the shit you've faced the last two years this is not something to freak out about." You mutter to yourself gripping the bouquet in your hands tightly. A knock on the door snaps you out of your trance.

"Y/n? Are you ready to go?" Namjoon calls through the door when you don't respond to his knock.

"Yeah! Once second." You call back readjusting your veil. "Okay. You can do this. Time to kick ass, like you always do." You tell yourself once more before opening the door to Namjoon.

"Woah. You look gorgeous. Yoongz is gonna lose it." He smiles.

"You think so?" You bite your lip shyly.

"Aw is someone nervous? You've got nothing to worry about. Except making Yoongi pass out by keeping him waiting any longer. I swear I've never seen someone stress out so much over ten minutes." He chuckles. You smile a little at that.

"Alright, let's go." You say lacing your arm through Namjoon's.

"Great, cuz he'd have my head if I came back down without you." He jokes as you descend the stairs and make your way towards the back door. Given your line of work a church wedding felt mildly out of place with the amount of criminals attending the event so you and Yoongi chose to hold your wedding at his beach house. Wedding on the beach and "reception" inside. When you and Namjoon reach the door leading outside two of Yoongi's men open the doors for you. The sound of the doors swinging open draws everyone's attention to you immediately. You take one more deep breath before stepping out arm in arm with Namjoon. He tried to act calm when you asked him to walk you down the isle but truthfully he'd nearly cried when the topic came up. He was so honored to be the one to give you away, as though you could possibly have considered anyone else to do it. When you and Namjoon make your way down the isle Yoongi physically feels the air leave his lungs at the sight of you. He always thinks you look gorgeous, and he's not sure if it's the fact that today is the day he gets to call you his wife or the dress but he's giddy to the brink of tears when you reach the alter. He smiles at you as he takes your hands in his, and you return it happily. It's happening. It's really happening. You're standing here in front of the love of your life and at least a hundred other people to declare your love for him and vow to be by his side forever. When you imagined this day as a child you never could've thought it'd be a man like Min Yoongi.

"Miss Y/L/N?" The minister says snapping you out of it. You blink and then look at him.

"I-I'm sorry, what?" You ask him. The crowd erupts with gentle laughter at your absentmindedness. You feel your face heat up. You were so wrapped up in your thoughts you forgot to pay attention.

"You and Mr. Min have written your own vows, would you like to go first?" The minister asks with a kind smile.

"Oh! I-I'll go first." You say.

"Whenever you're ready." He nods.

"Okay, cool. Hi," you start off looking back at Yoongi who's obviously amused. "I wanted to have a really well thought out speech for this, but I wouldn't have remembered any of it anyway," You shrug. "I've always had a less than average life. I think I clung to this fantasy of a prince coming to save me from everything and take me far far away so, when I imagined my wedding day as a kid you would be probably the furthest thing from what I envisioned my prince charming would be like. I remember thinking 'man he must be out of his mind' when you explained the whole 02 thing to me. I didn't want to end up like my mom, I didn't want my child to go through what I did. I still don't. So you better not go all psycho on me and try to kill me or our kids or I will shove my foot so far up your, insert word here, you won't be able to reach us," he chuckles at that, along with a few other people. "I'm just saying what I'm thinking right now okay, I know yours is probably gonna be way more thought out and planned and sweet but you signed up to marry me so you shouldn't be surprised at all. Anyway look Yoongi, you chose me long before I chose you. I don't know why you did, but I'm glad. You may not have been the prince I wanted to rescue me but I'm not damsel in distress so it works out. I love you with all my heart and while you chose me first I will choose you again and again every minute of every day for the rest of my life. It's been a wacky two years, and I'm sure it'll only get crazier from here, but if we've got each other I'm certain we're gonna get through it just fine. So don't go dying on me. I don't think I can live without you anymore." You end your vow with a bright smile. Yoongi shakes his head to you a little.

"Mr. Min." The minister turns to him.

"Right. Look I could stand up here and tell everyone here about the first time I saw you, or about our first date, or even our first fight. I could talk about you for hours on end and I'd never run out of things to say. Writing this was so difficult because I never felt like I said enough. I drafted this more times than I can remember and it never felt right. So I decided against recounting memories or moments that mean the most, because each one we make together is too precious to rank. Everyday I find myself falling deeper in love with you, each time you smile, or laugh, or cry, or shout. I'd do anything to keep you happy. No matter how much I accomplish it all pales in comparison to this moment. To the day I get the most wonderful treasure I could ever ask for. The honor of being your husband, of calling you my wife. You're loud, and passionate, strong willed, and intelligent. I'm still learning about you, each day holds another surprise, another side, another trait. I've loved every minute of getting to be with you and I consider myself the luckiest man alive that you're allowing me to be with you for the rest of our lives. I've questioned a lot of things, with the life I live you have to, but I have never once questioned if I should be with you. You're it for me y/n. So don't go dying on me okay? I definitely can't live without you." He says with a smile. His ending draws a chuckle from your lips despite the tears welling in your eyes. The minister clears his throats.

"May I have the rings please?" He asks. Jin pulls them out of his pocket and holds his palm out to you and Yoongi who take each others rings. "Do you, Min Yoongi , take, y/n y/l/n to be your partner in love and life; will you honor and cherish ?her, for as long as you both shall live?" The minister asks.

"I do." He says sliding the ring into it's rightful spot on your finger.

"Do you, y/n y/l/n, take, Min Yoongi to be your partner in love and life; will you honor and cherish him, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." You say sliding his ring in place.

"I pronounce that your wedding vows are sealed and you may henceforth be known to all as husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride." He announces. Yoongi quickly sweeps you into his arms and kisses you. It's a gentle kiss, but you can feel all the emotions he's pouring into it and you return each and every one as the crowd cheers happily.

"Alright everyone! Cocktails are being served inside!" Hoseok announces guiding people inside as you and Yoongi pull apart, staring at each other with pure adoration.

"As cute as this is Mr. and Mrs. Min, we need to clear the arch and stuff so if you don't mind joining the guests inside for happy hour that'd be really helpful." Namjoon says to you both moments later. You laugh as Yoongi rolls his eyes.

"Mrs. Min?" You ask Namjoon.

"You're married now babes, get used to it." He winks at you.

"I already love it." You beam grabbing Yoongi's hand and pulling him inside. The two of you travel together as you say hi to all of the guests, mainly Yoongi's people, but your girls from the club are also here. You stopped working there just under a year ago but you kept in touch regardless. Namjoon and the others make quick work of clearing out the beach and within an hour there's barely an remnants of the ceremony that took place earlier. There are people all over the place now, inside and out, drinking, eating, congratulating you and Yoongi. It's a night filled with celebration, as is to be expected and just when you think it couldn't be more perfect your husband whisks you away from the commotion for a walk on the beach. You've swapped your wedding dress and heels for a long sundress and sandals enjoying the night sky as the two of you walk farther and farther from the loud music and voices.

"I have, one more surprise for you tonight." Yoongi says from beside you. You turn to him curiously.

"A surprise?" You ask.

"Turn around." He tells you. You hesitantly turn your back to him.

"What's the deal Yoongz?" You ask. He wordlessly brushes your hair to the side and you feel cold metal touch your skin causing you to instantly reach for the pendant as he closes the clasp in the back. Yoongi turns you towards him.

"Perfect." He smiles pulling out his phone for you to use as a mirror to see the necklace for your self. It's a gold heart shaped necklace with two different colored teardrop gemstones in the middle. There's writing on the necklace, the four words in fancy script lining the two sides of the heart, Even After Forever Ends it reads.

"What are the gemstones?" You ask quietly.

"This one is my birthstone, and this one is yours." He points to each stone respectively.

"It's amazing." You practically whisper, gently touching the necklace. "Thank you." You say. You've made it the whole day without actually crying, but for the forth time since you woke up this morning your eyes brim with tears as Yoongi wraps his arms around you. In this moment you're convinced that no matter what you thought your life would be like this is more perfect than any of it.

[kimmy-trans]

【Japan Official Fanclub Magazine Vol.2】BTS My Biography – Suga’s part

From a mischievous child to a young boy that loves to read

Born in Daegu, South Korea’s 3rd biggest city, which is located in the south. I lived there until I came to Seoul. I was just an ordinary child, I always liked to mess around. So, the teacher in nursery didn’t really like me (laughs). I remember that I always got told off “it’s dangerous!” I liked sports and I was especially good at running. From primary school to high school, I often got chosen to participate in the relay race. And I was above average in studying.

When I was a child, I really liked to go out to play with my friends. But as I grew up, I wasn’t that fond of going out to play. Even when I went out to play, we just met in the park, there were nothing to do though. I didn’t like that, so I usually stayed at home along on the weekends. My mother said: “you should go out to see your friends sometimes.” (laughs)

I liked to collect, so I collected a lot of books when I was a child. Because at the time, I wanted to be cultivated, I wanted to pretend that I’m civilized. So, I read many grown up novels, poetry anthology, literary works and news articles which didn’t suit me… I read all genres of books. I don’t know why but from middle school onwards, I started to have the habit of reading from the back page. Now, I would read books sometimes. My reading speed is quick because I read chunks of writings.

First love in primary school… I honestly don’t have any memories about that. Unlike Seoul, the place I live in is quite conservative. Especially in my school, it’s rare to see boys talking to girls. Even being next to a girl made me shy, I didn’t even say a thing.

Encountered Hip-Hop Started to compose music in middle school

I became interested in music when I was in 5th grade of middle school, I saw the Korean artist Stony Skunk’s performance on TV. At the time, the genre Ballad was in its prime. If 18 teams were on a music show, 10 would be ballad groups, 5 would be idol groups and the remaining 3 would be other genres, Stony Skunk was one of the 3. Stony Skunk was really cool, their style is so different from the other groups. I’ve never been interested in music before that, but under the influence of Stony Skunk, I started to listen to Hip-Hop and Reggae music. I was also influenced by Epik High. MP3 players were getting popular at the time but I bought a Panasonic CD player and listened to music with that.

That’s how I started to listen to music, and at the same time I started to write song as well. No one told me to do it, but I just felt like I should write something. I started to write rap lyrics in primary school and started to compose music in middle school. At the time, no one around me liked Hip-Hop. Although Hip-Hop is getting popular again in Korea but when I encountered Hip-Hop, it was a genre that was popular from a long time ago. You probably couldn’t find anyone who raps on the street, apart from me. My friends complained when I sang rap songs in the karaoke room. You know there’re those special hand gestures in Hip-Hop, I got laughed at because I did those gestures.

Despite all of that, I continued to like Hip-Hop. I got to perform on the stage for the first time in 2nd of middle school. I performed Dynamic Duo’s ‘Go Back’ with my friends. I don’t like standing in front of many people but I just felt like I had to do it. I wanted to show off the rap that I’ve been practicing, although I wasn’t that great (laughs). Actually, I wanted to attend an arts high school, so I even produced classical music. But arts high school is too expensive so I attended an ordinary high school. I said to my father, “I’ve made enough music, I’ll study properly when I’m in high school.” But I never kept my promise (laughs).

Joined an underground crew in hometown, started to work as an underground rapper

I produced music in middle school for self-satisfaction, and I made songs in a hobby level. But after I changed the MIDI equipment, I started to make music properly. When I was in 1st grade of high school, I made a person to listen to my song, he was a teacher to me and he really liked it. Then he introduced me to a Hip-Hop crew called ’D-Town’ and I joined in. That song had a New Age music feeling to it but the Hip-Hop beats were like Nujabes. For your information, the teacher that acknowledged me studied in Berklee College of Music and now he’s a music director for movies. After I joined the crew, I started to learn rap properly. Although I’ve been rapping since primary school but since no one around me raps, so I always thought I was the best (laughs).

This is how I started my underground activities in Daegu. It also made me realize that working in the underground scene is difficult to make a living. The hyungs that I worked with was 10 years older than me, there were even people over 30 years old. They had to work part-time along with making music, it looked so tiring. I really hated the fact that it was difficult to gather 100 audience when we try to hold a live performance. I thought “if I succeed, can I be the bridge between mainstream music and underground music?” There are many people that makes great music in the underground scene, so I thought when I become famous, I’ll give them a better environment to work in and I want to let the world hear my hyungs’ music.

And at the same time, I heard that BigHit Entertainment was holding an audition in Daegu. I only knew that producer Bang Shi Hyuk established the company but I still auditioned. The next day, I got the notice that I passed the audition. Later, someone told me that when he saw me, he immediately gave me a pass. Even though my rapping wasn’t really good at the time (laughs).

Came to Seoul, became a trainee Ran counter to his (original) intention?!

I can still clearly remember the day that I came to Seoul, 7th November 2010, when I was in 2nd grade of high school. When I joined the company, my original intention wasn’t to become a rapper, I wanted to become a producer. So, I thought I didn’t need to dance, and I can leave rapping to those that are good at it. I thought I only need to be a producer. But that wasn’t the case (laughs). At the time, the company wanted to debut a group consists of rappers, rather than an idol group. However, the plan changed at the end. The members at the time were Rap Monster, J-Hope and I. Including Supreme Boi, i11evn hyung who’s currently working in the underground scene, and IRON hyung, who was one of the finalists in 'Show Me The Money 3’. I think if we debuted like that, our rapping would be outstanding but we would probably have failed (laughs).

Rapper & Producer Suga’s future goals

I’m able to walk on the path of music, it’s because of my brother, who’s 4 years older than me. Under my influence, my brother started to like Hip-Hop too. No one supported me in my family when I went to audition, except for my brother. They don’t approve of making music. My relatives even said to me: “what can you achieve from making music, just study properly.” So, I could only share my songs with my brother, he was my only listener. And I told my brother first when I passed the audition. We have a good relationship just like friends. I don’t usually drink but I drink a bit with my brother. Of course, my family support me now. The relatives that advised me to study even came to ask for my autograph (laughs).

I’ve been thinking lately that I want to be active as a producer. I’m not ambitious about being in the center, I just want to make music. I’m not interested in the entertainment industry, others want to either act or be on variety shows, but I don’t (laughs). Above all, I think the most important for BTS right now is to achieve #1 in Korea and Japan. And, I want to become the best rapper, the best producer. I don’t know how long it will take to achieve that but I’m going to give it a go.

It’s Your Turn

So, I did it! I wrote the DJ AU!

I had to do a little research to see what I felt was the best type of music that Hinata would make and I think I found it! I used Porter Robinson as the inspiration behind all of the scenes and as Hinata’s general sound (side note: there’s a part of me that desperately wants him to go under a different name to produce Happy Hardcore music, which would be freaking AWESOME). But I will be tagging songs throughout the fic (this one only has two), so please feel free to listen and enjoy!

So, this is based on the Netflix original film XOXO, and much of the plot is the same - because I am unoriginal like that - but I did try to tweak things around a little bit!

And it’s kinda long? It’s just the beginning, but I’ll be adding part two probably - hopefully - tomorrow! Hope you enjoy!

P.s. This somehow turned into a KenHina story as well??? Also, like, there ended up being some DaiSuga??? I hope that doesn’t bother anybody, lol.

P.s.s. XOXO has not made it’s way to Japan. But I kept the event name since I’m uncreative like that. Also, I don’t think the Japanese rave scene has kandi culture? (If I’m remembering right?) It’s primarily a westernized part of the rave community, but since it’s the part that I am both a part of and familiar with, I threw it in here. Hope everyone is okay with that!

A groan. That’s how his day started. And then there was that annoying jingle coming from his bedside table, a song by AronChupa that has been played far too many times. God, if he didn’t know any better, he’d think someone was calling–

Hinata’s hand shot out to smack around the table surface in search of the obnoxious device, the damn thing seeming to be able to elude him so easily. “Hello?” he was calling before his head lifted from the pillow surface, before he had even accepted the call, “Hello?”

“Oi!” jeez, right now? “I’ve been trying to get ahold of you all morning, idiot!”

“Kageyama, do you know what time it is?” Hinata whined on the other end, his body shifting under the sheets of his blanket until he was flat on his beck, his gaze focused on the poster filled ceiling above. Each one bore the name and amazing art that went along with the event he had attended - Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, and Ultra Japan. All of them held a story behind their colors, one that would forever be unique to that place and those people.

“It’s time for you to get your ass out of bed,” Kageyama was saying, his voice sounding hurried on the other end, followed closely by the sound of a voice coming over a loud speaker.

Hinata pulled the phone away from his ear hurriedly as he forced himself to sit up, blankets pooling at his waist. “Dude, where are you? Are you working?”

“Shut up,” came a hasty reply, “it’s not important. What is though that you need to pack all your tech and be ready for me to pick you up.” In the next instant Kageyama’s voice sounded far away, saying something along the lines of ‘no, ma’am, we don’t sell the packaged cheese by slices’ which in itself answered the red-heads earlier question.

But now his mind was lingering on the words that were just spoken to him. Pack his tech? Why? There was no party going on - though it wouldn’t surprise him to hear that Nishinoya had decided to throw an impromptu one at any given point in time. “We don’t have a gig,” the response was lame, an obvious statement that Kageyama would know. The grumpy man was his manager, after all.

There was a small curse and some more shuffling on the other end before the sound of a door opening and closing could be heard. “You do now, you’re playing at XOXO. Tonight.”

“If I open this door and you’re still in bed I’m gonna–”

“You’re gonna what?” there was a tone of annoyance that slithered past Kenma’s lips, his eyes narrowed on the door that was currently the only divide between himself and Kuroo.

There was a small shuffling of feet before the door was thrown open, revealing the tall man wearing a full body black cat onesie. The hood was pulled over his head, hiding most of his normally outrageous hair, and the fabric hung loose over his entire body with the sleeves rolled up to reveal heaps of kandi bracelets.

“I’ll just wait longer,” the taller huffed as he shuffled across the room to seat himself on Kenma’s bed, his eyes rising to take in his friend. “You’re haven’t dressed yet, right?”

Kenma’s brows furrowed, his eyes dropping down to take in his attire. Jeans, his favorite and most comfortable pair, and an average T-shirt with a red hoodie pulled over the top of it. The outfit was both easy to wear and surely not going to make him regret any life choices as the night went on - unlike others that he knew. “Why?”

“You can’t wear that!” Kuroo was jumping to his feet, hand shooting out to quickly pull up a song to play through the small room. “You’re going to XOXO, for crying out loud!”

Now it was Kenma’s turn to seat himself upon the surface of his own bed, his gaze watching Kuroo start to dig through the confines of his closet. Yes, he was going to XOXO, one of the biggest raves to hit the Asian continent since the electric music world had found itself on their side of the world. Despite it, he wasn’t as thrilled about the event as, say Kuroo or Bokuto were - the two had planned everything and were both to be wearing those stupid onesies, though Bokuto’s would be an owl.

But that’s not to say that he wasn’t excited. Kenma was very excited to be hearing his favorite music live. To experience it on a physical level and not just through a pair of headphones; he’d be able to feel it. All his favorite DJs would be there - Illenium, KSHMR, Jai Wolf, and–

“Did you hear they added SHUYO to the line up last minute?”

Kenma’s head popped up instantly, his posture straightening. “Seriously?” the excitement edged into his voice and he could feel the smile pulling up at the corner of his lips. Maybe this festival wasn’t turning out to be as bad as he was anticipating it to be.

SHUYO was a Soundcloud DJ that Kenma had been following for years. The kid started out merely throwing mixes of songs together before actually remixing them himself. And just in the last year he came out with some original tracks that simply blew Kenma away. To hear those mixes and songs live… he could already feel the goosebumps start to gather over his skin.

“Yeah,” Kuroo continued, pulling out various articles of clothing to throw them on the bed next to where Kenma sat, “guess one of the performers couldn’t make it or some shit and they booked him. Pretty crazy for his first big festival.” He turned to the shorter, his hands pulling pieces out from the pile and shoving them at Kenma’s sweater covered chest. “Now put these on, we gotta go!”

“Wait,” Hinata breathed, his gaze moving over to the clock that sat on his desk with his mixing equipment, “back up. Start over.” Because he was sure Kageyama was taking some kind of drugs to be telling the story he was.

“I said,” the annoyance was creeping up into his voice, but there was the lingering hint of a smile, “I got you a fucking slot at XOXO.”

“They liked the track?” he still couldn’t wrap his mind around what was happening. This was insane, it was surreal, it was simply something out of someone’s crazy trip; he was going to be performing at XOXO in… eight hours? 

“Wait, holy shit, Kageyama, how the hell am I gonna be able to get down there?” The panic was beginning to rise in his voice as he started scrambling from his bed, shoulder pinching the phone to his ear as he haphazardly began packing up the entirety of his tech. This was all happening way too fast. “I don’t have a car, I can’t get down there. Fuck, Kageyama, I can’t just do–”

“You can!” the words took Hinata by surprise, because even though Kageyama was his best friend and manager, it was still rare to hear such blatant words of encouragement. “Now, shut up for five seconds and listen.”

The plan, though much more elaborate that Hinata was hoping for in such a situation, seemed quite simple. Kageyama would pick him up in an hour, take him to where a party bus was heading to the festival, and it should be smooth sailing from there. They would meet up there for Hinata’s set and it would end up being the big break they had been waiting for.

“This is happening,” his voice sounded distant to himself as he struggled with pulling on his skinny jeans with the phone still trapped between his shoulder and ear, “like, this is really happening.” He was getting his shot to make it big.

Lips touched against each other gently, the late morning light filtered through the crooked blinds that draped over the window. Bare skin slide slowly against skin as the two bodies among the tangled blankets tried to wake themselves. It was a morning they were both simultaneously waiting for and dreading. It was their last festival; the last one for a long time.

“We have to get up,” Suga cooed, his mouth pressed to Daichi’s shoulders as he pulled his legs up under himself, “we have a bus to catch.”

“Just,” Daichi’s voice wavered a moment, his arms slipping themselves around Suga’s waist to bring him back to his place against his chest, “just a few more minutes.” He couldn’t bring himself to want to get out of that bed with Suga there in his arms. Maybe if they stayed there the day would never end, they’d remain wrapped around each other forever.

A laugh escaped from Suga’s lips as he pushed himself back up, lips finding Daichi’s easily before removing himself from the mattress entirely. “Come on, we have a festival to get to,” he was excited, very excited, despite the feeling of dread that lingered in the back of his mind. What he needed to do was lose himself in the music, let himself be carried away to a world that wasn’t the one he was about to experience. Just for a single night. “Plus, I have to finish packing.”

Daichi stopped, his smile fading at those simple words. Because, yes, Suga was packing. It was a fact that he had been trying to bring up for countless weeks, one that was always pushed aside and saved for a later conversation. But they were running out of time to have that conversation, Suga was leaving for America tomorrow, after all.

“Hey, how about we talk,” Daichi offered as he sat up, his hand reaching out to gently grasp at Suga’s, their fingers easily linking themselves together. Daichi’s brown eyes stared at them, his mind working hard at remembering how those fingers fit so perfectly against his own. “This is our last fest together, we–”

“Oh my gosh!” Suga now had his eyes on the screen of his phone, a smile stretching wide - too wide - across his features as he moved across the studio apartment to the kitchen, “You’ll never guess who’s gonna be playing tonight!”

“Babe, really, I want to talk about us and–”

“SHUYO got a slot! We’re gonna be one of the first one’s to see SHUYO perform at a festival!”

A deep sigh was pulled from Daichi’s chest, a twinge attacking at his heart as he watched the blond he loved so much plug in his phone to play the very song that had conquered their home since they first heard it. The way Suga’s body moved with the beat brought a smile to his lips despite the hurt that ebbed in his chest, because that man was Daichi’s entire world.

He supposed he could pretend that he wasn’t about to lose it when the sun came up over their festival tomorrow. Their last festival.

[TRANS] BTS Japan Official Fanclub Magazine - Suga’s Biography

A mischievous kid growing up into a boy who enjoys reading 

I was born in Daegu in the South, the third biggest city of Korean, and grew up there until I came up to Seoul. When I was young, I was pretty much an ordinary kid. I loved playing around so my kindergarten teacher didn’t seem to like me. (laughs) I remember being scolded “It’s dangerous!” a lot. I also loved sports and was good at running, to the point of being picked as a relay runner from elementary school all the way up to high school. When it comes to studying, I’m slightly above average. 

I used to love playing outside with friends back then, but I changed as I grew up. Even when we went outside, it wasn’t like we did anything, we just gathered at the park. I wasn’t fond of that so many times I just stayed at home on weekends. My mother told me to go outside and meet my friends sometimes. (laughs) 

I had a thing for collecting, so I collected a lot of books when I was young. It was a time when I wanted to be a cultured man, wanted to pretend I know things too. Mature stuffs that didn’t suit my age or novels, poetry books, essays, newspapers,… I read everything regardless of genre. I don’t know why but up till middle school, I had the habit of reading books from the back page. I still read books sometimes now. My reading speed gets faster by reading multiple sentences at a time. 

Memories of first love from elementary school… I really don’t have any. Unlike Seoul, the provinces are conservative, and my school didn’t have that kind of atmosphere in which boys and girls talk to each other. If I was with a girl, I would become really shy and wouldn’t even say a word. 

The encounter with hip hop Started composing in middle school 

I started to be interested in music in 5th year of elementary school, while watching the performance of “Stony Skunk”, Korean artists, on TV. It was the prime of ballad back then so if 18 teams perform on a music program, 10 would sing ballads, 5 would be idols and the other 3 would be other genres. They were one of those 3 teams. It was so cool how they were different from other singers. Up until then, I didn’t have any interest in music, but with Stony Skunk, I started listening to hip hop and reggae music, and was influenced by Epik High as well. MP3 player was starting to come out at that time, but I bought a Panasonic CD player and listened with that. 

Along with listening to music, I also started writing music at the same time. It wasn’t like someone told me to do it, I just had the thought of having to do so. I started writing rap lyrics in elementary school and started composing after I went to middle school. Back then, no one around me liked hiphop… It became extremely popular in Korea now but when I first started listening to it, hip hop was a genre once popular a long time ago. I think there probably wasn’t anyone on the streets who raps, except for me. If I rap at the karaoke room, it would just become some kind of sound to my friends. You know the moving hand gestures that are hip hop’s specialty? I was picked on for that too. 

Despite that, I still kept liking hip hop and in my 2nd year of middle school, I went on the stage for the first time at a festival. I performed Dynamic Duo’s “Go Back” with a friend. I didn’t like standing in front of people, but at that time, I only felt like I have to do it. I showed the rap that I practice too, although it wasn’t anything great. (laughs) 

 Actually in middle school, I wanted to go to an arts high school so I composed classical music. But the tuition was too expensive so I ended up just going to a regular high school. I told my father “I have done enough music now so I’ll study hard in high school” and went to that school, but of course I didn’t. (laughs) 

Full-fledged activities as a rapper after joining a crew in town 

Middle school years was when I composed music to satisfy myself only, on a hobby level. It was after I changed the MIDI software that I started full-fledgedly making music. In 1st year of high school, I showed my song to a person that was like a mentor to me, and he liked it a lot. I was introduced to a hip hop crew called “D-town” and joined. That song had the feeling of new-age music but had hip hop beats similar to Nujabes. For your information, the mentor that acknowledged me studied at Berklee College of Music and is currently working as a movie music director.

I think I started rapping properly after joining the crew. I have been rapping since elementary school, but since there wasn’t anyone who raps around me, I thought I was the best. (laughs) 

After that, I came to the Daegu underground scene, and from then, I also got to know that you can’t make a living out of music in the underground scene. Most of the hyungs who made music with me that time was about 10 years older than me, there were also people over 30. They worked part-time jobs and made music at the same time, but it seemed very hard. Even when performing live, it was already a huge deal to have 100 audiences, and I hated that fact. I thought “If I success, could I be the liaison of the underground scene?”. There are plenty of people who make good music in the underground scene, so I thought when I become famous, I want to create a better environment for them, I want to show their music to the world. 

Just then, I knew Big Hit was holding an audition in Daegu. I came there knowing nothing but that it was a company formed by composer Bang Shihyuk, but I was told that I was accepted the next day. I heard it later that when he saw me, he immediately thought of letting me pass. Even though I wasn’t good at rapping that time. (laughs) 

Coming up to Seoul after becoming a trainee Different from first thought…!? 

I came to Seoul on November 7th, 2010, when I was in 2nd year of high school. I still remember it now. 

I joined to company not to rap, but to become a composer. So I thought I didn’t need to dance, and let people who are good at rapping rap, I just needed to follow the producer path. But it became a totally different thing. (laughs) At that time, rather than idols, the company was planning to create a group consisting of rappers, but that changed. The members were Rap Monster, J-hope and me. There were also Supreme Boy, i11even-hyung who is now active in the underground scene and Iron-hyung who made it to the finals of Show Me The Money 3. I think if we debut like that, despite being good at rapping, we would fail. (laughs) 

Rapper & producer The future Suga thinks of as a goal 

My 4-year-older brother plays a very big role in letting me be able to walk on the music path like this. He started liking hip hop under my influence, but when I came to the audition, everyone in my family opposed it except for my brother. They didn’t view music activities nicely, even my relatives told me “What music for you, go study.” So I only showed my songs to him. He was the first person I informed that I passed the audition too. Our relationship is so good that we’re like friends. I basically don’t drink alcohol, but I drink it with him only. 

My family all support me now, of course. Even the relatives that told me to study ask for my signatures. (laughs) 

These days, I have thoughts about wanting to also be active as a producer. I have no greed of being in the center, I just want to make music. I don’t have interest towards the entertainment world too, everyone says they want to act, or to go on variety shows, but I don’t want to do those. (laughs) But still, the first thing is to make BTS get 1st place in Korea as well as Japan. And myself too, I want to be the best rapper, the best producer. I don’t know if it would take time, but I have to try.

[anime-matchmaker-blog]

Hi! Could I request male matchups with HQ, fire emblem awakening and fates characters? I'm 5 ft 7 w/ brown shoulder length hair, blue eyes and pale skin w/ freckles. I love writing, reading, video games and animals (esp. cats). I'm super reserved before getting to know someone then I'll talk nonstop. Also quite clumsy, forgetful and super indecisive. I'm told I keep calm in stressful situations but really I'm just good at concealing emotions and I'm actually horribly worried on the inside. (1/3)

I often overthink situations which increases my worries but I’m told I give good advice thanks to this. I hate new situations and being unfamiliar with what I’m supposed to do but I’m okay as long as I’m with someone who knows what they’re doing. I also have a major fear of heights and a minor one of forgetting past experiences due to my poor memory so despite the fact I don’t really like being in photos I treasure them as a memory keepsake. (2/3)

I like people who will listen to me go off on tangents about things I love and are open to trying to engage in my interests like I would with theirs. I become really awkward, shy and a blushing mess when attention is directed at me (like public speaking) or when receiving compliments. I’m super picky with food and it’s one thing I hate a lot about myself. I’m also secretly quite a bit of a hopeless romantic. Thank you so much! Hope it’s okay that it was stretched out over a three asks. (3/3)

Sorry for the delay!! u_u Thanks for being patient and I hope you’ll like your matches!

Your matches are…:

Sawamura Daichi (Haikyuu!!): You really haven’t had the chance to talk to Daichi personally before but when the two of you are paired up for a project, it allows you to get to know him better. From afar, he’s one of those typical nice guys and his niceness definitely shows in the preliminary stages of the project. He does most of the talking, you do most of the writing and nodding, You don’t start opening up a bit more until the next meeting - that’s when Daichi takes the first step in learning more about you.

Since this is Daichi we’re talking about, he’ll introduce you to the volleyball team eventually. You’re 100% not on board with this but he manages to persuade you and insist meeting them will help with the project in some way. (You doubt it). He brings you along after school and pretty much leaves you in Kiyoko’s care to handle the kids but Kiyoko is great at being your shield and making you feel comfortable. Of course, once Noya realizes you’re there, the rest of the team does too. Daichi and Suga do their best to divert their attention but Noya sneaks looks at you whenever possible.

It takes time but you warm up to the team. You head to the gym with Daichi every day after school to say hi before heading off, sometimes remaining to wait for them to finish so you can talk with them some more. Although you share a similar interest with each of them, you’re most compatible with Daichi and you find yourself talking to him more and more during class. The project is finished quickly but he’s always close to you even when it isn’t required. The team loves you and he loves being with you so there’s no point in going separate ways now.

Whenever he doesn’t have practice, he always invite you over or vice versa. When you’re at his house, he loves cooking for you and finds your pickiness a challenge to overcome. Some days, the two of you sit together and read or write or do your own thing. Some days, when either of you mention a heated topic, you go off on a tangent and Daichi simply listens to you, enjoying the sound of your voice.

The day of the presentation for your project arrives. The moment you and Daichi go to the front of the class, you’re tongue-tied, unable to muster anything. You feel something wrapping around your hand - Daichi’s hand fits perfectly in yours. He squeezes it lightly, prompting you on. With him by your side, you can accomplish anything.

Stahl (FE: Awakening): Stahl is the average man who doesn’t stand out in any way so you don’t seem to notice him at the beginning. He talks to you like every other comrade and you notice a few things about him to differentiate him from the rest - he eats a lot, his armor is green, and he’s the last person anyone would want to pair up with when heading into the fray. Somehow, though, you end up gravitating toward him more often than you think you should.

He is similar to you in a way - clumsy, scatterbrained, and polite. The tone he uses with you isn’t different from when he’s talking with the others so when it changes, neither of you notice. His calm demeanor makes it easy for you to feel comfortable around him and you easily slip into a talkative mood when interacting with him. He enjoys listening to you talk and so long he’s able to share a laugh with you, he doesn’t mind what kind of topic you share with him.

Eating is something the two of you are usually doing - mostly because Stahl’s the biggest glutton in the world and because he finds your pickiness for food a fun challenge to overcome. He gently encourages you to eat the food you hate and takes note of what makes you a picky eater. He’ll gladly eat all the crumbs from your plate, so long you eat your share.

In your down time (and whenever you aren’t eating), you and Stahl engage in the arts. He has a surprising taste in books so the two of you are always exchanging recommendations. He loves reading anything you write and while he isn’t the smartest person around, he’s capable of giving good advice on how to advance through rough areas. It probably comes from his role as a cavalier.

Eventually, Stahl will be able to tell what you need or want simply by reading you. He knows you’re never as calm as you think you say you are and how to deflect attention away from you when you become overwhelmed. The distance between the two of you close gradually until there isn’t a moment when you aren’t at each other’s sides. It’s a strange sight when that happens because Stahl has sworn to protect you no matter what and he’ll do whatever it takes to uphold his vow.

Kaze(Fire Emblem: Fates): A polite and calm person through andthrough, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Kaze and you to get along, even withyour more reserved nature. With him being a ninja, it’s only natural for Kazeto be observant, not only of his surroundings but also of people too, and thisextends to you during the few times the two of you converse. He’ll notice ifyou’re fidgeting about uncomfortably or have no desire to say anything more andwill excuse himself accordingly to give you your space and not press onfurther, respecting your privacy. Kaze won’t hesitate to greet you whenever hecrosses paths with you, seeing it as the polite thing to do, and when neitherof you have important duties to tend to, he’ll try to talk with you more to getto know you. Improving relationships amongst comrades is also pretty importantafter all. Kaze can’t help but smile and enjoy himself each time the two of youexchange words, especially since it seems like you’re opening up to him andaren’t as reserved. He’ll certainly find you cute when you’re happily chatting withhim and such a thought might accidentally leave his lips but he won’t try totake it back or fix his statement, especially when he notices you turning intoa blushing mess and you start stuttering. Kaze will lightly tease you for surebut this just cements the fact that you’re adorable in his mind.

After becoming friends with you, Kaze will find himselfkeeping an eye on you whenever he can in the midst of battle. Battles arerather stressful situations after all, and even if you appear calm andcollected to other people, Kaze will know better. Even seasoned soldiers getstressed in battle sometimes, so if it looks like you’re getting overwhelmed,he’ll try to reach your side to help you out. His cool-headedness willcertainly be useful in such situations, along with his experience as a ninja. Ifit looks like you’re struggling, Kaze will certainly stick by your side to makesure you don’t get hurt too badly and then after the battle, offer to teach youwhatever tricks and tips he knows, along with asking you to train with him fromtime to time just so he’ll know for sure that you’ll be at least okay the nexttime there’s a battle to take part in. Spending so much time with you allowsKaze to see sides of you he never would’ve known about simply by conversingwith you. It’s rather adorable how clumsy you can get a times and Kaze can’thelp but sometimes find your forgetfulness to be amusing. He’ll remind you if youforget something important though, such as checking the weapons storage or thatit’s your turn on cooking duty and he’ll always ask you if you’re okay if hecatches you tripping or stumbling. Kaze is also quite a patient person when thesituation calls for it so he won’t mind your indecisiveness (much) and will useit to tease you from time to time.

Kaze will have no qualms with engaging in some of yourinterests, thinking it a nice break from training whenever there’s free time tobe had. There are plenty of animals in the forests and he’ll often ask you togo there for walks with him to enjoy the change of scenery and the sereneatmosphere. It’d make for a nice place to sit and read and write too, which he’llencourage you to do after discovering your love for creativity. If you want tochat instead, Kaze will happily comply with that too. As long as he is able tospend time with you, it doesn’t matter what the two of you are doing. Thetopics of your discussions can range from anything to nothing; Kaze simplyenjoys listening to you talk. Seeing your eyes sparkle when you talk aboutthings you love is always a welcoming sight and how relaxed you seem at thatmoment is something Kaze wants to see more often. He won’t hesitate to tell youso, perhaps while chuckling, and he’ll let you know how cute he finds you atthat moment. Your flustered appearance won’t help you at all since that justmakes you seem even more adorable in Kaze’s eyes. This will lead to moreteasing though he’ll stop when you ask him too, but do prepare yourself for himto bring it up again in the future and for him to compliment you when anappropriate situation arises. When Kaze finds out that you’re a hopelessromantic (if only a bit), he’ll certainly enjoy having that piece ofinformation and won’t hesitate to surprise you every now and then. Sometimes it’llbe flowers and others it’ll be food he’s prepared himself. Your pickiness withfood is well known to him so he’ll try his best to make something you’ll enjoy.

It becomes clear to Kaze that you’re important to him andno matter what, above all else, he wants to see you smile and hear you laugh.Your worries are something he wants to ease. Until battles are infrequent andeverything is peaceful, Kaze will do everything he can to be by your side.
