Tumblr media
Following my usual daily ventures on X and Tumblr, I realized that there's two things that I wanted to address/bring up. So, as per usual: spoilers. /echo, echo.
— The Fade prison is still failing. It needed replacement (which is referenced on several occasions, but a big one is during the memory with Mythal that expands on the DAI scene), and nothing in current lore tells me that this has changed in any way: it's still failing. Nothing I can find says that it now being bound to Solas, who is decently weaker than Elgar'nan, magically 'resolves' that issue. Therefore, his 'atonement' doesn't automatically equate to an 'eternal imprisonment', even if Lavellan's choice of words for going with him include 'forever', for she simply doesn't know what she's walking into or for how long, and instead enforces this tether to him from the deepest form of trust one one else could ever find (heartbreak.mp3). The atonement lasts as long as Rook decides as they hold the dagger, or until the Veil falls on its own. But that touches on another topic briefly: if you want to 'punish' Solas the most, or longest— though this ending is 'kindest' (not quite), it is the one that keeps him in the prison the longest. The dagger trick (this warrants a post on its own, and it's the only one I have writing beef with, character 'bias' aside), or the worst ending(s) all send the lyrium dagger with him, which, has you wonder if he's then simply given the opportunity to slice into the Veil, and slip out. Does the prison need a host, if said host holds the lyrium dagger? And even if he couldn't what could he do from inside after 'Pride' has been taunted, and 'punished' (in Rook's, and the audience's eyes), since again, he is in possession of his dagger? There is no atonement here, only resentment from a spirit that is now even closer to finding its fully perverted nature of a Pride demon. So I think if speaking morally across the board, which option is really 'for the greater good of Thedas', instead of personal resentment (though understandable)? But in that, I like that we're repeatedly told that we don't know, and we're making it up as we go. Out of all protagonists, Rook's personal journey of mental development is the most intriguing to me, and arguably (in my opinion), is the most 'human' in the sense that I think they give us the most relatable options of choice, understandable/relatable resentment being one of them. But anyway, I digress: if the atonement ending isn't chosen, then I definitely think the story isn't quite concluded, even though I don't believe that it ever really is.
— Blood magic. No, Solas has no loathing for the nature of blood magic at its essence. He stated so very clearly back in DAI during a conversation with the Inquisitor in Haven, and the bit of the conversation that pertains to my point goes as follows: 'Magic is magic, just as water is water, but it can be used in different ways. (...) Dalish magic is more practical, not needing Chantry approval, although they still frown on blood magic. Superstition.' And when you ask him to elaborate, 'You said censure against blood magic was a superstition...' He adds: 'Most modern cultures forbid blood magic. Publicly, even Tevinter disapproves of it. But as I said, magic is magic. It matters only in how it is used.' And yes, I can already hear it, I know exactly what point will be brought up (lucky me, I found a video that touches on this exact topic that showcases both scenes): and I want to say firmly that no, this is not a retcon, nor is it Solas changing his mind, nor is this a total and utter lie (he rarely, rarely lies that fully, and clearly). He simply states that he abhors the use of it, as in— he, himself, despises using it; which is why he so firmly says no to Cole, when the notion is brought up in DAI. Now yes, he did employ the use of blood magic in relation to Rook (the extents, I need to do research on, as it's obvious that Solas absolutely winged that part of this 'plan', but all of it is also a bit flimsily written due to, for starters, the details that Varric shares being incredibly personal at times, but I digress), and I see so many on X and whatnot complain of how this means that 'Solas changed his mind', no— what it intends to show you, is the ferocity with which he believes that he, and only he, is able to fix what he broke. The game intends to show you that over, and over again, and it is to prove just how far a spirit can be pushed from where it started. And no, stop approaching Solas as if he is your regular elf next door, or anything but exactly what he is: a spirit. Trying to sway a spirit from its nature is incredibly difficult (we'll go into Mythal, and the nature of his care, and devotion to her that started the journey of his spirit's perversion, another day), and that is literally the explanation behind what people are calling an 'inconsistency'. It's called desperation, but more so, the strength of a belief, or more specifically, how far something that is akin to being... the 'personification' of a belief can go in, well, its own belief. I think Solas has proven that one can go very far. The perversion of spirits, and the reality of what demons then truly are, is a tragedy that Dragon Age has been trying to prove to us for years. It doesn't take away the wrongs that they can do once they get twisted, but it's tragic, because spirits are benevolent; serene, and peaceful at their core. And it's kind of heartbreaking to know that something so purely good, can be pulled from that nature.
#veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#[ i'm not noting these as a solas apologist-- i'm not. i actually put a fair chunk of accountability and responsibly with him. ]#[ more so than i see big fans do. so i absolutely am not forgiving of his actions. but it makes me sad that it got to such a point. ]#[ that it could /ever/ get to such a point. because we still saw his nature as a spirit of wisdom in dai. ]#[ how he was content at people's curiosities and willingness to learn. ]#[ seeing those scenes again warms me-- because it's a small glimpse that you get in the midst of pride. ]#[ i 100% agree with weekes. to understand the character of solas and just how tragic the concept is of a spirit that goes down this path. ]#[ you /need/ the romance. it's not like anders in my opinion (for instance); you still get all of that tragedy without a romance. ]#[ but you absolutely don't with solas. so yes; i agree with them so much. weekes is right. ]#[ but i just. god. i get glossy eyes thinking about it. i condemn actions; i truly do. but i do so with a heavy heart. ]#[ because the more you read about spirits and /demons/. the sadder i get. it's the same with lucanis and spite actually. ]#[ he was a spirit of /determination/ before he was twisted into spite. but even spite itself says things at times that ruin me. ]#[ but also solas' “banter” at him in the end: 'it is a crime against you both. i may be able to separate you safely'. ]#[ it just hurts me. and yes. he gets a comment from spite-- of course. demon to twisted spirit. but it's taken. 'a fair point'. ]#[ but that too hurts me. and i think it hurt him. it's just the nature/reality of twisted spirits aaaAAAAa god. save me. ]#[ ... this is so full of typos. rip me. but it's like 3am. that's my excuse. ]#[ solas: meta. ] just remember; an enemy can attack but only an ally can betray you. betrayal is always worse.#[ solas. ] how small the pain of one man seems when weighed against the endless depths of memory. of feeling. of existence.

Wtf do people who comment about how percabeth and solangeo is better on a perico pinterest pin
Like, i never heard a percico shippers get told "omg percabeth is better" and then idk magically stop shipping percico have you
you're so right, idk what it is because it's definately not a conversion tactic...& in my case i'm a spiteful bitch so if i get told not to ship xyz for any reason that's only gonna make me ship it harder lol
imo i'm not interested in converting people to my ships, you either like it or you don't, i'll post my little "propaganda" & if it attracts you that's great & if not that's fine too. though in the event i were interested, i would follow improv's "yes And". "yes, percico is great. y'know what else is great? percabeth" & then if they wanna talk nuances great & if not carry on. you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, etc etc
(& ofc might i suggest Not having these ship discussions on a piece of fanart but instead on your own post show respect for artists y'all)
in saying all that i try not to be too harsh towards the pinterest users (i know i just called them assholes it's fine). my theory on most fandom members that don't know fandom etiquette is that they're pretty young & just haven't taken the time to really learn how to be considerate to others in the space. i've been there, i was that 13/14 year old kid on pinterest because my parents wouldn't let me have any social media Or Whatever (i wasn't a commenter though, just a lurker...i was an asshole in fandom spaces in other ways, it's fine, i grew out of it)
that being said, i try to give them the benefit of the doubt & hope that behavior changes as they get older. if they hit like 18+ & are still acting like that though they probably do deserve to be dunked on a little tbh

going fucking insane over one of my wips because it's for a really small subgroup of a really small fandom of a really small fandom of a really big fandom that everyone fucking hates because people are cancelled like every other week and basically i cant talk about it with anyone without needing to explain like 60 pages worth of story that I wrote PLUS no one wants to talk about me because it's one of the cringiest ships in existence that sounds HORRENDOUSLY heteronormative on paper and like half the fandom calls them siblings even though they have been confirmed multiple times not to be and the other half is like oh the girl would never be in love with the guy because she's in love with the player!! as if being in love with her ideal of the player is healthy for her all and can't change or she can't fall out of love with someone whose interactions were limited to basically just looking at her, clicking through her text and DELETING HER
yeah so is about monipai as in monika from ddlc and senpai from friday fucking night funkin (i know. im sorry) im so down horrendous im on like seventeen doses of copium and counting and there's 11 total monipai works on ao3
one of them is mine and the other ones are either written by a 10 year old (because it's fucking fnf, what sane adult would write unironic fnf fanfiction) or unfinished (because fnf fics get no traction and unless you're fucking insane like me and have 60 pages of pure brainrot there is NOTHING keeping you going for such a nonexistent audience) and oh my god why am i here
the other fandoms ive been in recently are vashwood and shizaya and those are great!! those are normal!! vashwood has been getting boatloads of content that i cant stop looking at/reading and im getting fun ideas for aus and there's so many people in the community rn to interact with
and shizaya is a bit of struggle because the fandom is smaller but there's so much older content to go through/reread that it's fine and my posts about them get some traction and in some places you can actually talk to people who have been in the fandom from the beginning of time and overall it's a good fun time
AND THEN THERE'S MONIPAI. the ONE straight (bi4bi according to me and im always right) ship in fnf that no one likes because they're "sibling coded" for some god forsaken reason (and im usually all for sibling headcanons/prefer them over romantic ones but NOT THIS ONE SENPAI LITERALLY CONFESSED HIS LOVE FOR HER IN THE MOD) and it'll only make sense to people who like DDTO enough to not forget about it after playing like 19832529 other mods and even THEN like half of them ship it in the really cringe heteronormative way that dudebros ship them like GOD FUCKING HELL GET ME OUT OF HERE
ive never been madder about anything ive shipped ever. i LOVE getting comments on my fic and im surprised ive gotten any at all but holy shit
you know that one person who made like 3000 fics for their honeyworks throuple. honey i feel you cuz what the fuck is this
and with my usual ships i can send them to my friends who know what to expect and be like ok so these are the gayasses you're obsessed with this week but with this one. like the very premise is so ridiculous id be laughed out of their dms but this is literally like the most in-depth and serious ive gotten about any of my fanfiction plots ever (there's like themes and callbacks and motifs and everything, thats how you know it's bad). this is probably better written than my book drafts and it makes me SO MAD
ive even considered like. what if i just made them my ocs, since i've developed them so much and the plot is entirely my own creation. that might even be easier but the fic is so heavily based off of canon content that it just wouldntd make SENSE how am i supposed to rewrite all that canon lore when i take them out of it. i cant. im stuck tying them to ddtoverse
back to what i was originally talking about: basically i got this really nice comment on ao3 on my monipai fic and i was smiling really hard and spinning in my chair and i was inspired to try and write again so i update my. oh it's 71 pages. 71 page document to try and update chapter 3 and i end up going to my other ideas and workshopping them and suddenly ive penned down ideas for 4 DIFFERENT CLIMAXES?????????? AND THEY ALL HAVE THEIR PROS AND CONS AND THEY ALL BASICALLY LEAD TO THE SAME ENDNIG AND I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE AND I CANT ASK ANYONE BECAUSE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED ENOUGH TO READ IT I WANT THEM TO READ THE FIC AS IT'S BEING UPDATED BUT NO ONE'S INTERESTED ANYWAY
and trying to ask about which one i should choose while removing all incriminating details (read: monika and senpai's names) is so hard because there's SO much i have to explain as backstory and no one even responds to it anyway so there's no point :sob:
anyway i love monipai and specifically my version of monipai and it's legitmately ruining my life how's your day going
#soro rants#soro rambles#long post#cannot emphasize how much you probably dont want to read this post LMFAO this is literally a mental breakdown#i dont even fucking know dude i CANT TALK ABOUT THEM WITH ANYONE#the only other ship i have that comes close to this level of obscurity is n and colress from pokemon#which might be worse tbf because of the age gap that 10 year old me did not comprehend (i thought they were both 20-ish)#(they are not both ~20ish.) so there's like an actual moral reason to not ship them.#but like. there's only so much i can write about that and ive already published most of it. my brainrot isn't this bad for them#tachigin is also obscure but like. there's a discord server for it with like 7 people and a decently sized ao3 collection#why am i only into straight ships that no one ships wtf#why couldnt i have fixated on like. bf x gf thatd be so much fucking easier cuz literally every mod has them#but noOOO it has to be the fucking obscure ones that even the most heteronormative of dudebros are like 'why would you even consider that'#hell even tabi/agoti has more of a following than this like dawg#ddlc#fnf#monipai#ddlc monika#fnf senpai#btw if that person who commented today reads this: hi i love you#god i try to never rant like this because it's unprofessional and i never read anyone else's rants but like im LOSING IT#i usually keep it in the tags which is really easy to skip over or just dont say it at all guhhh#people who write nothing but rarepairs/oc stuff i have NOTHING but respect for you i snap like a twig at the lack of an audience#please teach me your ways how do you cope. maybe ill start brainstorming with chatgpt#not feeding it prompts to write fanfiction with of course because only whores do that

─── 黎深 ZAYNE
doctor, doctor!
he's not one known for overindulgence, so when he comes home from the hospital one day with flushed cheeks and unfocused eyes, you're understandably wary of his claim that he's just fine. but a few more minutes of probing reveals that he'd signed up to test a developing cure for a new strand of black-market aphrodisiacs on himself — well, you think, you might be just the person to nurse him back to health.

─── 沈星回 XAVIER
it's not often that you come home to find xavier sprawled out on the bed, moaning your name, fucking his fist to the thought of you, but when you do, you can't help but wonder — what brought this on? turns out a lumiere fangirl handed him a box of chocolates and he didn't think twice about eating them. so, what better punishment is there than to let him look but not touch?

when the twins drag sylus back, squawking about how he nearly got shot, you're more than a little worried. but it quickly becomes apparent that what sylus got shot with wasn't just any normal bullet, and it won't be fatal. but, it is going to be a long, long night, and being the caring captive that you are, what to do but to dress his wounds and help him work through whatever it is that he needs working through?

OVERHEATED : MEGUMI FUSHIGURO, YUUJI ITADORI
stealing alcohol at the festival night, doing inappropriate things in the classroom ( making out with your two classmates) and having your teacher catch you, have you ever thought about the possibility of being in that kind of position?
warning. age-up! itafushi ( three of you are 18+), drinking mention, drunk mention, make outttttttt.
Tumblr media
moonlight creeps through the cracks of the wooden walls and streams in through the windows, casting pale shadows along the dim hallway of the school. your footsteps are unsteady as you make your way down the corridor, the faint buzz of alcohol coursing through your veins. the warm flush on your cheeks is courtesy of the drinks you had earlier at the festival—more like the drinks you swiped from nanami when he wasn’t looking. the air feels thick with mischief and a carefree atmosphere, the kind that lingers after a long night of celebration.
as you walk, the soft sound of laughter catches your attention, muffled through the door of a nearby classroom. curiosity tugs at you, and with a lazy grin on your face, you push open the door, stepping inside. your vision takes a moment to adjust to the dim light filtering in through the windows, and you immediately spot yuuji and megumi inside, both looking a little worse for wear, clearly drunk themselves. a quiet chuckle escapes you as you take in the scene.
megumi is perched on top of a desk, his long legs dangling lazily, while yuuji sits in front of him on a chair, leaning back slightly as he lets out another burst of laughter, clearly entertained by something. their faces are flushed, probably from the alcohol, and there’s a sense of ease between them that only comes after a few drinks. you sway slightly, your feet wobbling a bit as you walk toward them with an amused smile tugging at your lips.
“well, well, well, look what we have here,” you tease, your voice light and playful. “you two look like you’re having a good time.”
yuuji grins up at you, his eyes slightly glassy but full of warmth. “hey! you made it!” he exclaims, his voice just a bit too loud in the quiet of the room. “come join us!”
megumi glances at you, his expression more reserved but softened by the alcohol. he raises an eyebrow, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “did you steal nanami’s stash too?” he asks, clearly amused.
you laugh softly, moving closer to the two boys, feeling the warmth of the alcohol mixing with the cozy atmosphere of the room. “maybe,” you say, winking at megumi, “but i won’t confirm or deny that.” your legs feel a little unsteady, reaching your hands out to one of them.
megumi chuckles, leaning back against the desk as he watches you approach. “you’re tipsy, aren’t you?” he says, a hint of amusement in his voice. he reaches out a hand to steady you as you stumble slightly, gently grabbing your wrist to keep you from falling.
yuuji, meanwhile, grins up at you, his eyes shining with mischief. “you look like you could use a seat,” he says, patting his lap with a cheeky smirk. megumi scoffs slightly at yuuji's comment, rolling his eyes at his bluntness. “don’t be crude,” he says, but there’s a hint of a smile on his face. yuuji just laughs and shrugs, unbothered by megumi’s disapproval.
as you stand in front of them, still a bit unsteady on your tipsy legs, yuuji pats his lap again, offering you a seat. “come on, sit,” he says, his tone light and playful.you feel a flutter in your chest as you look down at yuuji’s lap, a faint blush rising to your cheeks. you glance at megumi, his hand still around your wrist, and meet his intense gaze. there’s a moment of silent understanding passing between the three of you—a mixture of playful banter and underlying desire.
“i guess i could use a seat,” you reply, your voice a little lower than usual. without much thought, you take a step closer to yuuji and sit down on his lap, feeling the warmth of his body against yours.
yuuji grins wider when you settle onto his lap, his arms tightening around your waist to keep you steady. “there you go,” he murmurs, his voice thick with satisfaction as he adjusts you comfortably against him. “much better, right?”
you hum softly in response, leaning back into his chest, your head resting against his shoulder as you feel the warmth of his body pressing against yours. his hands rest on your waist, his fingers tracing lazy, possessive circles along the curve of your hips. his touch is firm yet gentle, a mix of affection and something more, something that makes your heart race just a little faster. his breath brushes against your neck, warm and comforting, as if he’s savoring the closeness between you.
megumi watches the whole scene unfold with a quiet intensity, his thumb still absentmindedly rubbing small circles on your wrist as he holds it. he doesn’t say a word, but the slight smirk pulling at the corner of his lips betrays his amusement. or maybe it’s the way your cheeks are tinged with a light pink, flustered by the attention from both of them. either way, he’s enjoying this—enjoying the way you react, how your body instinctively leans into yuuji, and how you can’t help but glance at him every now and then.
but there’s more to megumi’s gaze. even through the amusement, you catch a flicker of something else—something darker. his lips are slightly swollen, his cheeks flushed, and despite the smirk on his face, there’s a tension there. he tries to hide it, but the way his legs spread slightly wider as he sits on the table, his posture relaxed yet commanding, tells you he’s not entirely comfortable with the way you’re cozied up to yuuji. there’s an unspoken challenge in his eyes, a silent competition lingering in the air.
yuuji, on the other hand, seems to thrive under the attention, his grin growing as he glances at megumi, as if reveling in the slight edge he has in this moment. his hands tighten slightly around your waist, pulling you even closer to him. “you good?” he whispers, his lips brushing against your ear, sending a small shiver down your spine. you can hear the pride in his voice, the satisfaction of having you so close to him, as if he’s won something in this quiet contest between the two boys.
you chuckle softly, your body relaxing against yuuji as you let your gaze drift up toward megumi. he’s still sitting there, watching you with that same expression, his eyes focused on your every move. his posture doesn’t change, but you notice the subtle shift in his breathing, the way his eyes seem to linger just a second longer than before. you meet his gaze, a playful smile tugging at your lips as you take in his flushed cheeks and slightly swollen lips. he looks just as affected as you, even if he tries to hide it behind that cool exterior of his.
you don’t say anything, just let the silence speak for itself as you gaze at him, your eyes sparkling with amusement. you can tell he’s enjoying this little game just as much as you are, even if he won’t admit it. the tension between the three of you simmers just beneath the surface, unspoken but undeniable, leaving you with a sense of anticipation hanging in the air.
megumi lets out a soft scoff, but there’s a hint of a smile on his face. “you two are ridiculous,” he mutters, his voice low and almost teasing. he crosses his arms, sitting up a little straighter as he watches you settle against yuuji.
yuuji laughs, the sound vibrating through his chest and against your back. “ridiculous, huh?” he replies, turning his head slightly to look at megumi. “i think you’re just jealous.”
megumi rolls his eyes, but there’s a flicker of tension in his expression. he doesn’t deny it before he, “jealous of what?” he retorts, raising an eyebrow. “you’ve always been a flirt, itadori. you think i care if you’re cozying up to her?”
yuuji smirks, his arms tightening around you as he pulls you even closer to him. “oh, i think you do,” he says, his voice low and amused. “i can see it in your eyes, fushiguro. you’re practically green with envy.”
you scoff softly, rolling your eyes as you listen to their playful back-and-forth, amusement dancing in your eyes. their little argument is nothing new, and you’re used to the banter by now, but the way they’re both subtly trying to one-up each other never fails to make you shake your head.
without a word, you reach over to the table beside megumi and grab his glass, the one he’s been nursing for a while. his eyes flick to you, but he doesn’t say anything as you bring it to your lips and down the rest of his drink in one go. the alcohol burns slightly as it goes down, but you welcome the warmth spreading through you.
you set the empty glass back on the table with a quiet clink, then turn your gaze toward both of them. “you’re both idiots,” you say, your voice flat but dripping with sarcasm, a small smirk tugging at the corner of your lips. “seriously, arguing over something so stupid.”
yuuji feigns offense, letting out an exaggerated gasp. “hey, i’m not an idiot!” he says, giving you a playful pout. “i’m just enjoying the fact that i have a pretty girl in my lap while you sit there pouting like a sourpuss.”
megumi rolls his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as he tries to suppress a smirk. “and you’re enjoying it a little too much, itadori,” he replies, his tone deadpan.
“oh, i’m enjoying every second of it,” yuuji replies, his voice is cocky as he gives you a gentle squeeze. “aren’t i, princess?”
you can’t help but snort at the nickname, shaking your head slightly. “princess,” you repeat with a mix of amusement and annoyance. “you’re laying it on a bit thick, aren’t you?”
“oh come on, princess suits you perfectly,” he teases, planting a soft kiss against the side of your neck. “you’re just as sweet and pretty as one.”
megumi’s cheeks flush slightly, the sight of yuuji being so casual with you making his jaw clench. he scoffs, but there’s a hint of a smile on his face as he rolls his eyes again, but you can almost sense a hint of agreement in his expression. “real smooth, itadori,” he mutters, though the slight smile on his lips betrays his words. “bet that line works on all the girls, huh?”
“i mean, it’s worked for me so far,” yuuji replies with a cheeky shrug, his hands trailing up and down your sides in a languid, almost possessive manner. his touch is light but firm, his fingers tracing lazy circles against your skin.
megumi’s eyes narrow slightly, his knuckles turning white as he grips the edge of the desk. he tries to act indifferent, but it’s clear that yuuji’s boldness is getting to him. “yeah, in your dreams,” he retorts, but his voice lacks conviction.
you roll your eyes dramatically, feeling the playful tension between them rise with every passing second. yuuji’s teasing and megumi’s quiet frustration are almost too much to handle. their little battle of wits and egos is starting to wear on you, and you can't help but let out an exasperated sigh.
“seriously, you two,” you say, your voice carrying a hint of amusement as you glance between them. “stop fighting like idiots. you two act like a fucking child, i swear,” your words are laced with sarcasm, but there’s an underlying fondness that both of them catch onto immediately.
yuuji chuckles softly, the sound vibrating against your skin as he presses another kiss to your neck. “who’s fighting?” he asks innocently, though his smirk suggests otherwise. his fingers continue to trace along your sides, his touch both comforting and possessive.
megumi, on the other hand, lets out a quiet scoff, but there’s no real bite behind it. he leans back against the desk, arms still crossed as he watches the two of you with a mixture of amusement and annoyance. “i’m not fighting,“ he mutters, though the small smirk tugging at his lips betrays him.
you shake your head, feeling the warmth of yuuji’s hands on you and the intensity of megumi’s gaze from across the room. “uh-huh, sure,“ you say, clearly unconvinced.
yuuji chuckles against your neck, his lips trailing along your pulse point, sending a shiver down your spine. he knows exactly what he’s doing, and he’s enjoying every moment of it. his hands continue to roam your sides, occasionally slipping under the hem of your uniform, his touch sending little jolts of electricity through your body.
megumi watches the scene with a mixture of frustration and amusement. his jaw is clenched, his eyes darkened with a simmering anger that belies his calm exterior. he tries to hide it, but it’s clear he doesn’t enjoy seeing yuuji being so openly affectionate with you.
“can’t you control yourself for one minute?” he says, his voice low and slightly irritated. “you’re acting like a hormonal teenager.”
yuuji just laughs, his hands pausing for a moment before resuming their lazy caresses. “i’m just enjoying myself,” he replies, his lips still pressed against your neck. “but i think you’re just jealous you’re not the one making her shiver right now.”
“oh, cut it out,” you mutter under your breath, trying to sound annoyed even as you shiver against yuuji’s touch. “you’re going to leave a mark if you keep that up.” your hands land to megumi’s knees as if you’re seeking for a support. the alcohol in your system didn’t bother to help you at all and it’s making you frustrated and aroused.
yuuji grins against your neck, his teeth grazing your skin lightly. “oh, i don’t think you mind,” he responds, his voice low and teasing. “you’re not exactly protesting...”
megumi’s eyes narrow slightly as he watches yuuji’s lips trail along your neck, his gaze sharpening as he notices your hands resting on his knees. his body tenses as he tries to contain the mix of emotions swirling within him—jealousy, desire, annoyance, and something else, something deeper he doesn’t fully understand.
he reaches out a hand, his fingers intertwining with yours, his touch possessive and unyielding. “you’re right,” he mutters quietly, looking at you with a mixture of frustration and intensity. “she’s not protesting at all.”
yuuji chuckles softly, his lips still against your skin. he’s clearly enjoying this little game, the way megumi is both jealous and possessive as he reaches out to hold your hand. there’s a flash of satisfaction in his eyes as he watches megumi’s grip tighten on your fingers, a small victory in his mind.
despite the alcohol coursing through your veins, you can’t help but feel a flutter in your stomach at the situation. it’s a mixture of arousal and confusion, the effects of their touches and the subtle competitiveness between them leaving you flustered.
“see?” yuuji says, his voice still smug. “she likes it just as much as i do.” his hands slide further up under your uniform, fingers teasingly tracing along your ribcage. the touch is tantalizing, creating a mix of sensations that send a shiver down your spine.
megumi’s grip on your hand tightens even more, his expression hardening as he watches yuuji’s hands exploring beneath your uniform. there’s a visible tension in his body, his muscles tense and coiled like a bowstring.
you lift your gaze to megumi, locking onto his dark, stormy eyes. his usually calm demeanor is unraveling, his lips parted slightly as he watches you, and you can feel the unspoken desire simmering between the three of you. your heart races, and despite knowing this is the alcohol talking—making all of you act like reckless, hormonal teenagers—you can’t help but be pulled into the moment.
“we’re all gonna regret this when we’re sober,” you whisper, your voice barely above a breath as your eyes flicker from his lips back to his eyes. the tension is thick, your mind telling you to stop, but your body is betraying you, craving more.
with a soft tug on his hand, you pull him toward you, closing the space between you and megumi. the look in his eyes darkens, his resolve faltering as your words sink in. “but right now,” you continue, your voice trembling with need, “i just really need to kiss you.”
megumi’s breath catches in his throat as you tug him forward, his composure faltering for a split second. his gaze drifts from your eyes to your lips and back again, his internal struggle clear in his expression.
he moves closer, his body pressing against yours, the heat of his skin almost scorching. he doesn’t resist as you pull him in, his hands coming to rest on your hips. “fuck,” he mutters quietly, the tension between you so thick you could cut it with a knife. “i don’t think i care about the consequences right now.”
before you can respond, his lips capture yours in a desperate, hungry kiss. his tongue immediately seeks entry, sliding over your lips, tasting you, claiming you. his fingers dig into your hips, holding you firmly in place as he kisses you fiercely.
yuuji chuckles softly behind you, watching the scene unfold with a mixture of satisfaction and surprise. his hands, still under your uniform, are warm and possessive, his touch sending ripples of pleasure through your body. his breath is hot against your neck. “look at that,” he murmurs, his voice low and rough. “finally, some action.”
megumi’s kiss is hard and urgent, months of pent-up desire and frustration spilling over as he presses himself against you. his tongue explores your mouth, claiming you with a possessive intensity that takes your breath away.
“shut up,” he mutters against your lips, breaking away for a moment to shoot a glare at yuuji. “not another word, itadori.” yuuji just grins, his arms tight around your waist, his hands still roaming up and down your sides.
you’re trapped between them, their bodies pressing against yours from all sides. yuuji’s lips find their way back to your neck, his tongue tracing a hot, wet line from your collarbone to your ear. he nips at your earlobe, his teeth grazing your skin, while his hands continue to explore.
megumi doesn’t protest, his attention focused solely on you. he kisses you again, his tongue sliding into your mouth, his hands gripping your hips tightly. for a moment, the world fades away, leaving only the three of you and the raw, feral desire consuming you all.
megumi’s kisses are bruising, his teeth leaving behind small, tingling marks on your skin. he wants to devour you, to claim you as his own, the months of pent-up desire and restrained feelings unleashing in the heat of the moment.
yuuji’s hands are everywhere, roaming over every inch of exposed skin he can find. his touch is deliberate and firm, his own desire burning just as fiercely. their touches and kisses are overwhelming, a mixture of pleasure and need that has you completely undone.
“you have no idea how long i’ve wanted to do this,” megumi mutters between kisses, his hands now under your uniform as well, his fingers tracing over your stomach. “how many nights i’ve spent thinking about you like this, beneath me.”
yuuji chuckles softly against your neck, his lips still trailing kisses along your shoulder. “you’re not the only one,” he replies, his voice low and rough. “i’ve been wanting to touch you like this for just as long.” as they both continue to kiss and touch you, your body responds, the alcohol in your system making everything more intense, more addictive. you’re lost in a haze of pleasure, their words and touch sending shivers down your spine.
“i can’t imagine sharing you,” megumi murmurs, his hands moving up to cup your face, his eyes dark and intense. “knowing itadori���s been touching you like this…” his voice trails off, the jealousy and possession evident in his tone.
the contrast between yuuji and megumi’s touches and affections is stark and intoxicating. yuuji’s hands are rough and demanding, his kisses filled with a hunger that borders on desperate. megumi’s touch is more restrained, his kisses firm yet sensual, his pent-up desires barely contained beneath the surface.
“pervert,” you mutter, your breath hot against his skin, finding your hands its way to megumi’s neck to deepen the kiss. your breath became ragged and labored, the lack of sense of soberness worsened your condition. but damn, it feels good.
at your teasing remark, yuuji just chuckles. his hands move lower, his fingers tracing the edge of your skirt, his touch both teasing and demanding.
“you’re calling me a pervert, princess?” he murmurs against your neck. “when you’re the one getting off on this?” his tone is laced with a hint of mischief, his hands continuing to explore your body. megumi’s grip on your hips tightens, his own body pressing further into yours. there’s a hint of irritation in his expression, but his desire is unmistakable.
“he’s not wrong,” megumi mutters as he pulls away from the kiss, his eyes darkened with lust. “you’re enjoying this just as much as we are.” his hands slide lower, gripping your thighs possessively.
yuuji’s hands continue to roam over your body, his lips returning to your neck, sucking and nipping at your skin. the three of you are a tangle of limbs and need, the alcohol fueling the already blazing fire between you all.
“shut up,” you mutter in response, unable to come up with a witty retort. your mind is swimming, your body responding to their touches in ways you can’t control. your legs feel weak, your body craving something more, something intense.
“and you’re one to talk,” you add, glancing at them both. “you’re not exactly helping the situation.”
megumi’s fingers dig into your skin, his own need clear in his touch. he doesn’t respond to your comment, his focus solely on you, his lips still claiming yours in needy, hungry kisses.
yuuji grins at your words, his hands moving further up your thighs, the fabric of your skirt bunched up around your hips. his touch is firm and possessive, his fingers tracing the edge of your underwear.
“you’re right,” he murmurs against your ear, his breath hot and seductive. “we’re definitely not helping.” megumi finally pulls away from your lips, his breathing ragged as he glares at yuuji. “you need to shut up,” he mutters, his voice strained.
yuuji just laughs at megumi’s irritated reaction. his hands move up and down your thighs, his touch still exploring every inch of your exposed skin. “oh, don’t be jealous,” he teases, his tone cocky and playful. “we’re all sharing here, remember?”
megumi’s grip tightens on your hips, his jaw clenching. “this is not the time for your jokes, itadori,” he growls, his voice deep and rough.
both of them are clearly fighting their own internal battles, their desire and jealousy creating a tangle of conflicting feelings. but they can’t stop themselves, their touches becoming more rough and demanding as they fight for your attention.
megumi’s eyes are dark and intense, his desire for you clear. he slides his hands underneath your skirt, his fingers trailing up your thighs, his touch possessive. yuuji’s lips return to your neck, his teeth scraping against your skin as he sucks and nibbles at your sensitive spots.
you let out an exasperated sigh, rolling your eyes at their childish bickering. the tension in the air is thick, their touches growing more demanding, and it's all getting to be too much. you decide to put an end to it—at least temporarily.
“you two really need to shut up,” you mutter, your voice carrying a mix of amusement and frustration. megumi’s grip tightens on your hips as yuuji’s lips continue their assault on your neck, but you don’t hesitate. turning your head slightly, you meet yuuji’s gaze, his eyes wide with surprise as you lean in, closing the space between you.
your lips crash against his in a heated kiss, effectively silencing him. his cocky demeanor falters for a moment, and you can feel him smile against your lips as he responds, kissing you back with a hunger that matches your own. the taste of alcohol still lingers on his lips, and you lose yourself in the warmth of the moment, the intensity of the kiss sending a wave of heat through you.
pulling back just slightly, you meet his eyes again, your voice low and breathy as you mutter, “shut up, yuuji.” his grin widens, clearly loving every second of this. “yes, ma’am,” he replies cheekily, though his hands still roam your body, refusing to let go.
megumi watches this interaction between you and yuuji with a mix of irritation and envy, his grip on your hips still firm, possessive. he knows he can’t compete with yuuji’s carefree, nonchalant attitude, but he’s still frustrated beyond belief, frustrated that yuuji gets to touch you, kiss you, make you gasp and shiver like that.
he huffs out a breath, his jaw clenched, a subtle hint of jealousy in his dark eyes. “is there room for me here?” he mutters, his voice just above a grumble.
despite megumi’s grumpy exterior, yuuji can’t help but chuckle at his friend’s impatience. he knows megumi is struggling to keep his possessive tendencies in check, but he also knows that megumi is powerless to resist your touch, your kisses, your voice.
“of course there’s room,” yuuji responds, his voice teasing. “don’t be greedy, fushiguro.” megumi growls in response, the sound low and dangerous, but he doesn’t wait for an invitation. he leans in, his lips finding your neck, his teeth grazing your skin.
“you’re both so impatient,” you mutter breathlessly, your head falling back as megumi’s lips find their way to your neck and finding yuuji’s lips once again. the contrast between their touches is intense—yuuji’s hands roaming your thighs, his touch playful and light, while megumi’s hands dig into your hips, his kisses deep and possessive.
both of them are clearly fighting for your attention, their touches growing more hungry and demanding as they struggle to contain their desires.
you’re trapped between their bodies, their touches sending shivers down your spine. yuuji’s hands continue to roam over your body, his tongue tangled with yours, while megumi’s mouth attacks your neck, his tongue tracing a hot, wet line from your collarbone to your ear.
the room is filled with the sound of deep, ragged breaths and the occasional muttered word, the three of you lost in a tangle of limbs and desire. the alcohol has lowered all your inhibitions, making everything more intense, more passionate.
megumi’s lips move from your neck to your ear, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin. he doesn’t bother to hold back his possessive nature, his hands tight on your hips, his body pressed firmly against yours. he wants you, needs you, and he’s not about to let yuuji have all the fun.
yuuji, on the other hand, is taking advantage of every opportunity to touch you, his hands roaming your thighs, his fingers tracing patterns across your skin. he’s enjoying every moment of this, his lips still locked with yours.
the alcohol is fueling their desires, making them act more impulsively, more boldly, more possessively. their touches are desperate, their kisses urgent and urgent. they’re both clearly struggling to keep their competitive nature in check, struggling to fight the urge to claim you completely, to make you theirs, and only theirs.
”i can’t stand this anymore,” yuuji mutters against your lips, his hands gripping your thighs. ”i need more.”
megumi mutters his agreement, his teeth scraping against your skin. “yeah, i’m with itadori on this one,” he mutters, his hands still gripping your hips possessively. “this is getting to be too much.” his voice is low and hoarse, his own need clearly apparent, his lips leaving a trail of marks on your neck.
“no, not here, we still in school,” you whisper, nails digging into megumi’s biceps as you are trying to support your body from going numb. your teeth nibbling on yuuji’s lower lips, leaving a slight bruise before shooting the sting with your tongue.
yuuji lets out a low moan as you bite his lip, his head tilting back in pleasure before he captures your mouth again, his tongue dueling with yours before pulling away, letting a string of saliva connect you two.
they both pause for a moment, their touches stilling at your words. they know you’re right—that they’re still technically in school, that they’re risking getting caught—but their desire makes it all seem so fleeting, so insignificant.
”who cares,” yuuji mumbles against your lips. “we’ll be quiet.”
megumi grunts in agreement, his fingers digging into your hips, his hands refusing to let you go. your body is a hot tangle of limbs and needs, their touches and kisses driving you to the edge of insanity. you’re losing yourself in the moment, the alcohol in your system makes it impossible to think clearly, to make rational decisions.
“i can’t guarantee anything,” you gasp out, your voice cracking with need. “you two are really driving me crazy, but ’m not gonna take a risk, don’t want gojo sensei to find us like this.”
yuuji pouts at your words, clearly disappointed that you won’t give in. he looks like a stubborn child being denied a treat.
“come on, just a little bit?” he pleads, his hands continuing to roam your thighs.
megumi groans in agreement, his grip on your hips tight and possessive. “please?” he mutters, his lips leaving a trail of bites and hickeys on your shoulder.
both of them are clearly struggling to keep their emotions and desires in check, their touches and kisses growing more desperate and intense with every passing moment. they’re both used to getting what they want, used to having things their way, but you’re stubbornly refusing to give in to their begging and pleading.
”please,” yuuji repeats, his voice more insistent. “just a little bit, i promise we’ll be quiet.”
but before you have a chance to respond, a voice filling the room. the moment gojo’s voice cuts through the tension, the three of you freeze, your heart nearly jumping out of your chest. yuuji and megumi immediately pull away, their hands leaving your skin as they scramble to compose themselves. you stand up hastily, smoothing out your wrinkled uniform, trying to act casual despite the heat still lingering in the air.
“what the hell are you three doing?” gojo asks, his tone laced with amusement, though there's a sharpness behind it. he leans casually against the doorway, arms crossed, his usual playful grin plastered across his face. his sunglasses glint under the hallway light, and you can’t tell whether he’s genuinely annoyed or just having fun at your expense.
“uh, nothing!” yuuji blurts out, a bit too quickly, still fidgeting as he adjusts his disheveled shirt. megumi shoots him a glare before muttering something under his breath, looking away as he folds his arms, clearly uncomfortable under gojo’s scrutiny.
you clear your throat, trying to maintain some level of dignity despite the obvious tension hanging in the air. “we were just… talking,” you say, knowing full well that gojo doesn’t buy it for a second.
gojo’s eyes scan the three of you, taking in your flushed faces, your messy hair, and your disheveled clothes. he takes a few steps into the room, his hands in his pockets, that signature smirk still on his face.
“just talking, huh?” he asks, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “well, it looked a lot more than just talking to me.” he pauses, his gaze lingering on your neck, noticing the small marks and hickeys that none of you bothered to hide.
yuuji shifts nervously under gojo’s gaze, his eyes avoiding his teacher’s face. megumi just glares at him, his jaw clenched, his hands balled into fists. both of them know that gojo has obviously caught them red-handed, and there’s no use trying to deny it.
gojo just chuckles, crossing his arms across his chest as he leans against the wall. “so i’m guessing you three were having a little study group, huh?” he teases, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “didn’t know studying could be so... intense.”
you groan in frustration, throwing your head back as gojo’s teasing words fill the room. “ugh, sensei,” you complain, dragging out the word with obvious annoyance. “you’re seriously the last person who should be lecturing us about what’s appropriate.”
gojo’s smirk widens, clearly enjoying how flustered you are. “oh, come on, you should know better,” he says, sounding both amused and mildly exasperated. “what you three were doing just now is definitely not something students should be getting up to in a classroom, especially at school.”
gojo takes a step closer to you, closing the distance between you. his eyes never leave your face, studying your expression with keen interest.
”but i suppose i can’t really blame you,” he says playfully. “the three of you are young, full of hormones and energy.. it’s only natural to get carried away.” he glances at yuuji and megumi, his eyes flickering with amusement. “right boys?”
gojo’s words are spoken with a tone of mild reproach, but there’s still a hint of amusement in his voice. he clearly finds the whole situation entertaining, even though he disapprovingly of the three of you. yuuji and megumi both look anywhere but at gojo, their faces red with embarrassment and a hint of shame. they know he’s right, that they shouldn’t have been fooling around in a classroom like that.
gojo leans against the desk, his arms crossed across his chest, his gaze still focused on you. “but you really should keep it in your pants, kids,” he says casually. “you do know that this is a school, right?”
he looks at each of you, his eyes lingering on the marks on your neck and the still-ruffled clothes. gojo is clearly enjoying how embarrassed you all are, how caught in the act you are. “or did you think i wouldn’t notice?”
yuuji’s face is burning red with embarrassment, but he’s trying valiantly to keep up a brave face. megumi, on the other hand, simply looks stoic and defiant, trying his best to ignore gojo’s mocking remarks.
gojo turns his attention to megumi, a knowing smile crossing his face. “and megumi.. i thought you were the sensible one out of the three,” he teases. “what were you thinking, getting so riled up in a classroom?” the air in the room is thick with tension as gojo continues his playful interrogation. his mocking tone only seems to fan the flames of your embarrassment even further, but there’s something else in his words, a hint of disapproval that’s laced with a touch of disappointment.
”you know better than to act that way on campus,” he continues, his tone more authoritative now. “you’re jujutsu high students, and you should be exemplifying the best behavior, not acting like hormonal teenagers.”
megumi’s eyes narrow, his mouth set in a firm line. he knows that gojo has a point, that he should have showed more restraint and discipline, but he’s still too prideful to admit it.
”i..it’s none of your business, and i am a hormonal teenager, you’re acting like you’ve never done something like this before,” he mumbles gruffly, his arms still crossed. being taken care of by him, megumi knows enough about his relationship with his girlfriend and geto sensei. and he knows that gojo is worse than him.
gojo laughs at his defiant response, clearly finding it both endearing and infuriating at the same time. “trust me, megumi, i’m well aware that i’m worse than you,” he says, his tone lighthearted. “but that doesn’t change the fact that you all ought to behave a bit more respectfully on campus.”
he glances back at yuuji, who is now awkwardly standing beside you, eyes fixed on the floor. “that goes for you too, yuuji. don’t think you’re off the hook here either, young man.”
he crosses over to yuuji, placing a hand on his shoulder and giving him a good-natured squeeze. “you seem to have a bit more energy than usual today,” he says, his voice taking on a more serious tone. “but that doesn’t mean you can go around acting like a hormonal teenager and fooling around with your classmates.”
he glances back at you, his eyes flickering with a hint of amusement. “and i don’t want you getting into any unnecessary trouble either,” he adds, referring to you.
you bite your lip and glance down, feeling the weight of gojo’s gaze on you. “sorry, sensei,” you mutter softly, your voice barely above a whisper. the reality of the situation begins to settle in, and you feel a pang of guilt, knowing you’ve pushed things a bit too far tonight.
but just as you think the lecture is over, gojo’s smirk returns. “especially,” he adds, his voice dripping with mock disapproval, “after the three of you decided to steal nanami’s stash of alcohol.”
your eyes widen in shock, and yuuji practically jumps out of his chair. “wait—how did you—?”
gojo just chuckles, shaking his head. “oh please, do you think nanami wouldn’t notice? the guy’s like a hawk when it comes to his precious stash,” he says, clearly amused. “you’re lucky he hasn’t come looking for you yet. otherwise, you’d have a real problem on your hands.”
both yuuji and megumi seem visibly sheepish at gojo's revelation. they had thought they were being slick sneakily, stealing nanami's alcohol without anyone noticing, but in reality they should have known better.
gojo just chuckles again, shaking his head in mock disappointment. “really boys, stealing alcohol from a teacher. that’s a new low, even for you two.” his eyes flicker with an amused gleam. “and to think i trusted you guys to behave yourselves..”
his gaze then moves back to you, his expression growing more serious again. “and you,” he says, his voice taking on a more authoritative tone. “you should know better than to let those two get you into this kind of trouble.”
he pauses for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he seems to ponder something. “and what possessed you three to drink in the first place? were you trying to act cool, or were you just looking for an excuse to let loose a little?”
you look down, avoiding gojo’s gaze as the weight of his words sinks in. your shoulders slump a bit, feeling smaller under his sharp scrutiny. “the alcohol was just... laying around when i went into the teachers' room,” you mumble, your voice quiet and filled with regret. “i wasn’t really thinking. i just wanted to try it before going to the festival.”
there’s a beat of silence, and you can feel both yuuji and megumi shifting uncomfortably beside you, probably feeling just as guilty. you sneak a glance at gojo, who’s still watching you with that serious expression. his arms are crossed, and for once, his usual playful demeanor seems absent. you can sense his disappointment.
gojo lets out a long sigh, shaking his head slightly. “you know better than that,” he says, his voice softer but still firm. “drinking in school, stealing alcohol, and getting caught up in... whatever that was,” he gestures vaguely to the room, “isn’t what i expect from you.”
you bite your lip, nodding in agreement, feeling the sting of his words even more.
gojo lets out another sigh, his expression still filled with mild disappointment. he crosses his arms across his chest, seemingly deep in thought, pondering on how to handle this situation.
“you guys know you could get in serious trouble for this, right?” he says eventually, his usually carefree tone now replaced with a sense of sternness. “stealing alcohol, drinking on campus, and causing a commotion in the classroom. you’re lucky i’m the one who found you and not nanami or geto, or even principal yaga.”
he stops and looks at you, his eyes meeting your gaze again. “you’re all supposed to be my students, my responsibility, and yet you’re acting like reckless kids,” his tone softens a bit, but that sternness remains. “i know you’re young and hormones are raging, but you gotta learn to control yourselves, you know? you can’t just go around acting on impulse and doing dumb things.”
you nod quickly, your voice small as you murmur, “we know... we’re sorry.” the guilt clings to you, making you feel heavier. you glance at the floor again, avoiding gojo's piercing gaze. the embarrassment of the situation weighs you down even more, and it doesn’t help that you can feel megumi and yuuji shifting beside you.
megumi, noticing how defeated you look, lets out a long sigh. “it’s not her fault,” he mutters, his voice steady but filled with frustration. “it was us... we’re the ones who persuaded her. she didn’t want to get involved at first.” his hand squeezes your shoulder lightly, as if trying to relieve some of the pressure on you.
gojo raises an eyebrow, looking between the three of you. “so, it was you two?” he asks, his voice carrying that same mix of amusement and annoyance. he lets out another deep sigh, shaking his head as if he’s tired of the whole situation. “well, that doesn’t make it any better, does it? you all made the decision together.”
“still,” megumi insists, his eyes flickering with determination, “don’t blame her for it. yuuji and i were the ones acting like idiots.” yuuji nods along, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “yeah, megumi’s right. we kinda dragged her into it.”
gojo looks at you for a moment longer, then finally his expression softens just a little. “alright, alright. i’ll give you that. but still, you’re all in this mess together. next time, think before you act, all of you.”
gojo runs a hand through his hair, looking a little fed up with the whole situation. he glances at the three of you, his expression still one of mild disapproval, but there's a hint of something else in his eyes now— almost like reluctant understanding.
“you gotta learn to make better decisions, alright?” he says, his tone is softer than before. “i don’t wanna have to come to rescue you three every time you get yourselves into trouble. you know i have better things to do than play babysitter.”
he glances specifically at you again, his eyes flickering with a mix of annoyance and concern. “you three really need to learn to use some common sense. especially you,” he adds, his voice taking on a slightly more authoritative tone. “you should know better than to let yuuji and megumi talk you into something this reckless.”
you nod again, still unable to bring yourself to meet gojo’s gaze. the shame clings to you like a heavy weight, making you feel small under his disappointed tone. you bite your lip, your eyes fixed on the floor, hoping this lecture would end soon. the tension between the three of you is palpable, with yuuji and megumi shifting uncomfortably beside you.
gojo lets out another long, exasperated sigh. “look, i’m not gonna drag this out any longer,” he says, his voice sounding a little tired now. “just... make sure this doesn’t happen again. because if i catch you three doing something more reckless, i’m really gonna have to step in and do something about it. and trust me, you don’t want that.”
the finality in his voice makes it clear he’s serious. he’s not just your teacher but someone who actually cares, and that makes the guilt feel even heavier. “we won’t,” you mutter quietly, finally glancing up at him for just a brief moment before your gaze flickers away again.
gojo's expression softens a bit at your sincere response, seeing the shame and regret written across your face. he knows you feel bad about the situation and genuinely wants to do better, and that's something he cannot ignore. he sighs again, his voice becoming a little lighter.
“just... be careful from now on, alright?” he says, his tone holding a mixture of sternness and understanding. “don't let those two talk you into anything stupid again. and i better not see you three causing any more trouble around here,” he added, his tone slightly softer, “but i’m not a saint. don't test my patience. understood?”
the three of you nod hastily, all of you desperate for this lecture to end. the tension in the room has shifted a bit, now laced with a mixture of shame, regret, and relief that gojo isn’t more upset with you.
gojo glances at all of you for a moment longer, his expression unreadable, before letting out another long breath. “good. i’m glad we had this talk,” he says, his voice filled with a mild hint of sarcasm. “i’m sure you’ve learned your lesson, right?”
megumi and yuuji both nod again, their faces holding a mixture of sheepishness and defiance. they are still silently resenting the fact that gojo has lectured them for their actions, but they know better than to talk back now.
gojo’s gaze turns back to you, as if trying to assess your response. he can see the guilt and shame etched across your face, the way your shoulders droop just a little under his scrutiny.
“and you...” he says, his voice trailing off for a moment as he seems to ponder something. “just... be careful, alright? don’t let those two idiots talk you into something foolish again. you have a good head on your shoulders, so use it.”
you nod again, feeling even smaller under gojo's gaze, your voice barely above a whisper as you mumble, “yes, sensei.” the weight of his words sinks in deeper, and you can’t shake the guilt lingering in the pit of your stomach. you know he’s right, that you should’ve been more responsible, but it’s hard to shake the tension from the situation.
gojo’s eyes linger on you for a moment longer before he straightens up with a sigh, running a hand through his hair. “alright, get out of here before i change my mind and report you three.” yuuji and megumi shift awkwardly, both of them muttering their thanks as they move toward the door with you follow from behind.
as you walk away from the classroom, you groan and cover your face with your hands, feeling heat rush to your cheeks. “that was so fucking embarrassing,” you mumble, shaking your head in disbelief. the image of gojo leaning against the desk, arms crossed with that mix of disappointment and amusement, lingers in your mind, making the embarrassment even worse.
but despite the wave of humiliation crashing over you, you can’t help but chuckle softly at the absurdity of it all. the memory of yuuji’s teasing and megumi’s intense gaze flicker through your mind, making you smile despite yourself. you turn to the two boys, shaking your head with a grin as you say, “it was totally your fault.”
“hey, you’re the one who want to kiss me first,” megumi defend as you glance at him. he looks slightly annoyed yet undeniably cute with his furrowed brows and the hint of a smile tugging at his lips. there’s an undeniable warmth in your chest as you remember how it all started with that impulsive kiss, a moment that now feels both reckless and thrilling.
yuuji, standing beside you, laughs sheepishly. “yeah, we definitely didn’t help the situation.” he rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, a hint of mischief still in his eyes. “but hey, you have to admit it was a bit fun, right?”
megumi rolls his eyes, not quite able to hide his small smile. “yeah, sure, if your definition of fun includes being lectured by your teacher and getting caught stealing alcohol.”
you shake your head, a mix of embarrassment and amusement still lingering. “oh, yeah, so much fun,” you reply sarcastically, trying to hide the fact that your heart is still racing from the adrenaline. your fingers running to your neck where you can still feel their lips kissing, biting and licking and leaving all the mark.
megumi and yuuji both chuckle at your sarcastic response, both of them knowing that you’re secretly enjoying the thrill of it all. yuuji bumps your shoulder lightly, a roguish grin on his face. “come on, you can’t deny it. there was something exciting about the whole thing, right?”
megumi smirks, his gaze flickering over to your neck before meeting your eyes again. “and besides, you can’t say you didn’t enjoy those kisses.”
your cheeks flush again at the memory of their lips on your skin, leaving marks and creating a sensation that still tingles on your neck. you try to hide your reaction, ducking your head a little as you look away from them, unintentionally showing the hickeys more than you intend to. “shut up,” you mutter.
yuuji’s grin widens, his eyes zeroing in on the red marks on your neck. “oh man, those look pretty obvious,” he teases, a wicked glint in his eyes. “gojo definitely saw those, huh?”
megumi smirks again, his hands shoved into his pockets. “yeah, you’re not going to be able to hide those for long. and you know how observant gojo is. he’ll put two and two together in no time.”
as yuuji and megumi both continue to tease you about the hickeys, your mind flashes back to the feeling of their hands and lips on your skin, the heat of their breath and the intensity in their eyes. the embarrassment you felt before now feels mixed with something else, a flutter in your stomach and a warmth spreading through your chest. you can’t help but wonder what gojo will say when he sees the evidence of your little encounter.
you can feel yuuji and megumi looking at you, their gazes fixed on the marks on your neck. you can tell they're both enjoying the sight a little too much. yuuji lets out a low whistle, his voice full of appreciation. “damn, those look good on you,” he murmurs, his eyes flickering back to your face with a wicked grin.
you groan and instinctively cover your neck with your hands, a wave of embarrassment crashing over you once again. “you two have to do something about this,” you say, your voice muffled as you hide your face. “there’s no way I’m going to class tomorrow looking like this!”
as you try to hide the marks on your neck, yuuji and megumi both laugh, clearly enjoying your reaction. “oh, come on, you’re looking pretty cute with those marks,” yuuji teases, reaching out to try and gently pull your hands away from your neck. “in fact, i’m thinking we should give you a few more so that they’re really obvious.”
megumi chuckles, his smirk growing wider as he steps closer to you. “yeah, i think that’s a good idea.”
you narrow your eyes at them as they step closer, a mix of annoyance and playfulness bubbling up inside you. “oh, come on! you guys are ridiculous!” you exclaim, shaking your head and turning to walk faster, trying to put some distance between you and their teasing.
“stop being such freaks!” you call over your shoulder, but the sound of their laughter only intensifies your embarrassment. as you quicken your pace, you can hear their footsteps trailing behind you, the playful banter continuing. it only makes you want to hide your face even more.

10 Worst Things About The Trump Presidency
Donald Trump left office with the lowest approval rating of any president ever. But some people now seem to be suffering from amnesia.
Let me jog your memory. Here are 10 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency — in no particular order.
#1. Trump fueled division and sparked a record uptick in hate crimes.
#2. Murder went way up under Trump. He presided over the largest ever single-year increase in homicides in 2020. A number of factors might have contributed to that, but a big one is…
#3. Gun sales broke records under Trump, who has bragged about how he “did nothing” to restrict guns as president in spite of…
#4. Under Trump, America suffered more than 1,700 mass shootings.
#5. Trump said there were "very fine people" among the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville.
I’m halfway to ten. If you think I’m missing something big, leave it in the comments.
#6. Trump allied himself with the Proud Boys, a violent hate group who helped orchestrate the Jan 6 Capitol attack.
#7. Trump’s not wrong when he says…
TRUMP: I got rid of Roe v. Wade.
It is entirely because of Trump’s judicial appointments that 1 in 3 American women of childbearing age now lives in states with abortion bans.
#8. One of Trump’s Supreme Court justices was Brett Kavanaugh, a man accused of sexual assault by multiple women.
#9. Trump’s White House interfered in the FBI’s investigation of Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual assaults.
And now: #10. Trump has been convicted of committing 34 felonies while in office. The criminally false business filings he got convicted for in New York? All of them were committed while he was president.
I’m sorry, did I say the 10 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency? I meant 15.
#11. Trump’s failed pandemic response is estimated to have led to hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. By the time Trump left office, roughly 3,000 Americans were dying of covid every day. That’s a 9/11-scale mass casualty event every single day. How did Trump screw up so badly?
#12. Trump’s White House discarded the pandemic response playbook that had been assembled by the Obama administration.
#13. Trump disbanded the National Security Council’s pandemic response team.
#14. Trump repeatedly lied about the danger of covid, saying it was no worse than the flu or that it would go away on its own.
But behind closed doors, Trump admitted he knew covid was deadly.
#15. Trump promoted fake covid cures like hydroxychloroquine and even injecting people with disinfectants.
After Trump’s “disinfectant” remarks, poison control centers received a spike in emergency calls.
That’s fifteen things. Should I keep going? Ok, I’ll keep going. The 20 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency.
#16. Trump presided over a net loss of 2.9 million American jobs — the worst recorded jobs numbers of any U.S. president in history.
#17. Trump profited off the presidency, making an estimated $160 million from foreign countries while he was president.
#18. Trump also billed the Secret Service over $1 million for the privilege of staying at his golf clubs and other properties while they protected him. That’s your money!
#19. Trump caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history when he didn’t get funding for his border wall, which he said Mexico was going to pay for.  
#20. Under Trump, the national debt increased by about 40% — more than in any other four-year presidential term — largely because of his tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.
You didn’t really think I was stopping at 20, did you? We’re going to 25 —
#21. Trump separated more than 5,000 children from their parents at the border, with no plan to ever reunite them, putting babies in cages.
#22. The Muslim Ban. Yes, Trump really did try to ban Muslims from entering the country.
#23. Trump sparked international outrage by moving the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem while closing the U.S. mission to Palestine.
#24. Trump tasked his son-in-law Jared Kushner with drafting a potential Middle East “peace plan” with zero Palestinian input.
#25. And finally, Trump recognized Israel’s occupation of the Goh-lahn Heights, which is considered illegal under international law.
So there you have it, folks: The 25 Worst — Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Did I mention the impeachments? We’ve got to do the impeachments. Let’s go to 30.
#26. Trump broke the law by trying to withhold nearly $400 million of U.S. aid for Ukraine in an effort to extort a personal political favor from Ukraine’s Pres. Zelensky. Trump wanted Zelensky to interfere in the 2020 election by announcing an investigation into the Bidens. Delaying this aid to Ukraine weakened Ukraine and strengthened Russia.
#27. Trump personally attacked and ruined the careers of everyone who stood in the way of his illegal Ukraine scheme, including Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman.
#28. To cover up the scheme, Trump ordered the White House and State Department to defy congressional subpoenas.
#29. For these reasons, on December 18, 2019, Trump became the third U.S. president to be impeached. He was charged with Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress.
#30. Even while he was being investigated for trying to get Ukraine to interfere in the U.S. election, Trump publicly called for China to interfere in the election.
So those are the 30 Worst Things —
I’ll go to 35.
#31. Long before Election Day, Trump started making false claims that the election would be rigged.
#32. After losing, Trump falsely claimed the election was stolen, even though his own inner circle, including his campaign manager, White House lawyers, and his own Justice Department and attorney general told him it was not.
#33. Trump kept telling his Big Lie even after more than 60 legal challenges to the election were struck down in court, many by Trump-appointed judges.
#34. Trump ordered the Department of Justice to falsely claim that the election “was corrupt.”
#35. Trump and his allies used threats to pressure state leaders in Arizona and Georgia to falsify the election results.
We may go to 40.
#36. When none of the previous schemes worked, Trump and his allies produced fake electoral votes cast by fake electors in multiple swing states. His former White House chief of staff and Rudy Giuliani are among the many members of his inner circle who have been criminally indicted for this scheme.
#37. Trump tried to bully Vice President Pence into obstructing the certification of the election.
#38. Trump invited a mob to the Capitol on Jan 6 with his “be there, will be wild” tweet.
#39. Sworn testimony alleges that when Trump was warned that members of the crowd were carrying deadly weapons, he ordered security metal detectors to be taken down.
#40. Knowing the crowd had deadly weapons, he ordered them to go to the Capitol and…
TRUMP: …fight like hell.
#41 — Yes, yes, I know, bear with me.
Trump betrayed his oath to defend the nation by doing nothing to stop the Jan 6 violence. Instead, according to witness testimony, he sat and watched TV for hours.
#42. On January 13, 2021, Trump became the only president ever to be impeached twice. This time he was charged with incitement of insurrection. It was a bipartisan vote.
#43. The majority of senators — 57 out of 100 — voted to convict Trump, including 7 Republican senators.
So that’s the two impeachments and the Big Lie, but wait, we haven’t dealt with Russia, right? So we’re going to 50.
#44. In a likely obstruction of justice, Trump pressured then FBI Director James Comey to stop the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn. This was documented in the Mueller report.
#45. When Comey didn’t bend to Trump’s will, Trump fired him.
#46. Trump tried to shut down the Mueller investigation by ordering White House Counsel Don McGann to fire Mueller. McGann refused because that would be criminal obstruction of justice.
#47. When news got out that Trump tried to fire Mueller, Trump repeatedly told McGann to lie — to Mueller, to press, to public — and even create a false document to conceal Trump’s attempt to fire Mueller.
#48. Trump ordered his staff not to turn over emails showing Don Jr. had set up a meeting at Trump Tower before the 2016 election with representatives of the Russian government.
#49. Trump convinced Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about Trump’s plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, and Cohen served prison time for lying to Congress.
#50. Trump was not charged for criminal obstruction of justice because it’s the Justice Department’s policy not to indict a sitting president, but more than a thousand former federal prosecutors who served under both Republicans and Democrats, signed a letter declaring there was more than enough evidence to prosecute Trump.
So those are the 50 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency. Now I could go on…
And I will! The 75 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency.
#51. Trump said he’d hire only the best people, but…
His campaign chair was convicted of multiple crimes.
So was one of his closest associates.
His deputy campaign chair pleaded guilty to crimes.
So did his personal lawyer
His National Security Adviser
The Chief Financial Officer of his business
A campaign foreign policy adviser
And one of his campaign fundraisers.
They all committed crimes, and Trump pardoned most of them.
#52. Trump said he’d drain the Washington swamp. But he appointed more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls to his administration than any administration in history
#53. Trump intervened to get his son-in-law, Jared Kushner top-secret clearance after he was denied over concerns about foreign influence.
#54. Trump hosted a Russian Foreign Minister to the Oval Office, where Trump revealed top-secret intelligence.
Oh, and Trump’s economic policies!
#55 Trump promised that the average American family would see a $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations. How’d that work out? Did you get a $4,000 raise? Of course not! Nobody did!
#56. Trump vowed to protect American jobs, but offshoring increased and manufacturing fell.
#57. Trump said he would fix America’s infrastructure, but it never happened. He announced so many failed “infrastructure weeks” they became a running joke.
#58. Trump said he would be “the voice” of American workers, but he filled the National Labor Relations Board with anti-union flacks who made it harder for workers to unionize.
#59. Trump’s Labor Department made it easier for bosses to get out of paying workers overtime, which cheated 8 million workers of extra pay.
#60. Trump repeatedly suggested he might serve more than two terms in violation of the Constitution — and continues to do so.
#61. Trump called Haiti and African nations “shithole” countries.
#62. Trump tried to terminate DACA, which protects immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Luckily this was struck down by the courts.
#63. Trump called climate change a “hoax.”
#64. Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement.
#65. Trump rolled back more than 100 environmental protections.
#66. Every budget Trump proposed included cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
#67. Trump tried (and failed) to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would have resulted in 20 million Americans losing insurance. And striking down the ACA’s protections for the roughly 130 million people with pre-existing conditions could have driven up their insurance premiums or led to a loss of coverage.
#68. Trump made it easier for employers to remove birth control coverage from insurance plans.
#69. By the end of Trump’s term, the number of people lacking health insurance had risen by 3 million.
#70. Trump lied. Constantly. He made 30,573 false or misleading claims while president — an average of 21 a day, according to Washington Post fact-checkers.
#71. Trump allegedly took hundreds of classified documents on his way out of the White House, reportedly including nuclear secrets, which he then left unsecured in various parts of Mar-a-Lago, including a bathroom. He was even caught on tape showing them off to people.
#72. Trump seriously discussed the idea of nuking a hurricane.
#73. When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, Trump delayed $20 billion of aid and allowed Puerto Rico to be without power for 181 days.
#74. Trump suggested withholding federal aid for California wildfire recovery and said the solution was to “clean” the “floors” of the forest.
#75. Trump pulled out of the Iran deal, placing Iran on a path to developing nuclear weapons.
Honestly, there’s so much more, from exchanging “love letters” with North Korea’s brutal dictator to publicly denigrating a Gold Star military widow and making her cry, to the way he attacked journalists, to late night tweet binges.
Look, I can understand why a lot of people want to block all of this out of their memories. But we cannot afford to forget just how terrible Trump’s time in the White House was for this nation.
And we sure as hell can’t afford to put him back there.

[To be loved is to be changed. And while being married to you has changed Mihawk, it's not entirely for the better. He's a possessive and protective lover to the marrow of his bones.]
(TW for unwanted sexual comments)
Mihawk knew the name 'Shantaro' quite well. Any time you told him a story from your adolescence that revolved around borderline illegal, unethical or simply reckless adventures, Shantaro was there. The little devil on your shoulder but as reliable as a true angel.
He, however, never expected you to run into Shantaro on the odd night when the two of you can go out. Comfortably basking in your presence, Mihawk is thoroughly enjoying your undivided attention.
Until.
You're suddenly rendered speechless as you notice something - someone - over his shoulder. A wide smile spreads across your face. Mihawk is unsure whether he should rejoice with how beautiful you look or seethe, knowing that another person dared to distract you from him.
"It's Shantaro!" you squeal excitedly. "I'm sorry, love, I'll be just a moment. I haven't seen her in ages!"
Mihawk doesn't even try to stop you as you make your way through the crowd at the lounge. His watchful gaze follows your steps as you approach a stringy woman in a silver dress. A hurricane of black curls sits on top of her head. Her piercing, grey eyes notice you, suddenly widening with both surprise and happiness. The two of you engulf each other in a bone-crushing hug, silently exchanging feelings of longing towards the closest friend from younger years.
The swordsman's night, however, is about to get even worse as he hears someone behind him whisper:
"She's a minx, that foxy wife of yours."
He turns around with his jaw and fists clenched. Mihawk's enraged gaze meets the face of an amused man who is casually sipping on his drink. There's a glint in the stranger's eyes that makes the swordsman's skin crawl - he wanted to get under Dracule's skin.
"Don't look so surprised," the stranger reprimands him. The man must have mistaken Mihawk's baffled expression at the bold words for genuine surprise that someone put two and two together. Truthfully, he couldn't care less whether people know that he's married. "Many pirates get hard fantasising about having their way with the Warlord's wife." Judging by the way the man licks his lips and hides a certain hunger behind his eyes, it's clear he's part of the aforementioned group. "But the Warlord himself? Unfortunately for him, she turns him soft," he drones the word as though it's a serious insult.
"Yes, she does," Mihawk answers slowly.
The events that followed happened exceptionally fast: Mihawk reached for the stranger's neck and slammed the man's head against the bar counter. Curiously, people happening to be in their vicinity carry on as though nothing bizarre is happening - they are smart enough not to get in Dracule Mihawk's way, especially when he is visibly upset.
Blood is gushing from the strange man's forehead, his eye already beginning to swell and change colour. The swordsman tilted his victim's head back just enough to lean down and growl. "Which is why I'm going to kill you much faster than you deserve for your offence."
Mihawk glances in your direction. You're still occupied, excitedly telling Shantaro about the years after you've last met her.
He'll be done before you notice him gone.

THINK YOU NEED SOMEONE YOUNGER + ONE PIECE MEN
they start to realize they might be a little too old for you ft. crocodile, mihawk, smoker, shanks, doflamingo, corazon
info: will do this for other fandoms too i think, angsty on some; not proofread
Tumblr media
crocodile never felt insecure, at least when it came to your relationship. after he left impel down and came to look for you, things got a little... weird. he was avoiding you. you knew it wasn't because he didn't want to bring you into his business (he did it more than once), it was something you didn't really understand. before you could even confront him about it, he said out of nowhere one day: "did you... get with anyone while i was away?" he looked at you with a hard stare. "someone... younger?" you almost laughed at his question, but you held yourself back. your arms circled his waist and you rested your chin on his chest. 'i don't know anyone younger that is as attractive as you, sir.' he grinned, holding the back of your head with his hand. "good."
mihawk noticed how you and zoro interacted during his time at the island. he wasn't suspicious that something was happening, he knew you would never cheat on him or break his trust; but... a thought started to spread in his mind like poison. once zoro and perona left, and you two finally managed to carry on with your married life alone, he asked you one day while you drank tea together. "how do you feel about me being... older?" you looked at him with raised eyebrows and 'the only thing that matters to me is you. i fell in love with your personality and the way you treat me, not your age.' he hummed, a deep sound that you know reverberated on his chest. even if it was faint, you could see a soft pink dusting his cheeks.
smoker didn't think about your age gap until he overheard some of the new recruits talking about you two. captain smoker having a younger partner is a little weird isn't it, was what they said. when he was back home and you were resting against his chest, softly playing with the hair on the area, he told you about it. you looked up, your eyes shining, 'old pan makes good food'. the laughter that left his lips was one that he always reserved for you, his most sincere and genuine laugh; he pressed his lips on the top of your head, murmuring praises and love confessions against your hair.
shanks really didn't care about it, not as much as other members of his crew did – with how well they knew their captain, the man would be destroyed if you decided to leave him. 'she might go for a younger guy, when your thing doesn't get up anymore.' they usually voiced their concerns in the form of jokes, so they wouldn't be too harsh on their captain, but it was effective. those comments made him start to realize what you two were – lovers. one day, without telling you, he and the crew left. simply left the island, leaving you behind with only an note written "don't look for me." in a messy manner.
one thing about doflamingo is that he gets whatever he wants whenever he wants. and since the moment he laid eyes on you, you were his. the people that tried to comment on your age gap always "mysteriously" disappeared, even if they were from inside his organization. no one could talk about him and his partner like that. if he ever brought up the topic, it was only to test if you were seeing anyone or wanted someone younger (he knows you don't. he knows everything); your praises towards him and your love always left him pleased – he would give you the same in return.
corazon is frequently insecure about your relationship. he wonders if you really love him, if he's good enough for you, if he's being a good boyfriend, if he missed any important date that he should've remembered – your age gap (made worse by your height gap too) is only another one of those concerns. no matter what you say, he often asks you if you wouldn't want to be with someone younger and with a better family than him. one day, after he asked that for the millionth time, you answered: "we can have a family of our own, rosi. you deserve happiness. you said once i made you happy, so i will stay. the only way you're going to get rid of me is if one of us is gone." he chuckled and smiled widely, as he often did around you and law, hugging you tightly against his body. 'i adore you. with all my heart and soul, i love you.'

Statistically Speaking...
Tumblr media
part of the svt TA collab
[full fic here]
kim mingyu x reader
est. word count: 10-15k [fat chance]
est. release date: 10th September
warnings: TA! mingyu, fluff, smut [MINORS DNI], angst, statistics, more to be added in final post
synopsis: In all your years of academic endurance, you’ve never failed. A 100% success rate, despite you cutting it close at times. However, the line graph that is your life starts tanking somewhere around the time you began taking this hellsent Statistics in Psychological Research class. With a professor that wouldn’t know his ass from his head, and an overworked, overenthusiastic, and overcaptivating TA, it couldn't possibly get any worse than this. However, statistically speaking,…it could.
‼️ JOIN THE TAGLIST by sending an ask or replying under this post. AGE INDICATORS ON YOUR BLOG ARE NECESSARY. ‼️
[a/n]: first look into the TA collab fic!!! @camandemstudios has been along time in the making and I cant wait for you all to read all of the fics in full. accept this piece offering from me and please let me know what you think of it so far!
masterlist
Tumblr media
“Right. How can I help you?”
Pulling out your printed assignment, you bring the sheets of stapled paper to the centre of the table, writing facing him. 
One look at the sparse format of the cover page, Mingyu blows a full mouth of air at the sight of recognition. Without you having to say a thing, he flicks to the very last page, finding the rubric printed on a separate page. 
“It’s a 37,” you inform him like he couldn’t see the bold 37/100 in the bottom Total cell. 
“Do you think you deserved a better grade?” he asks. It would have sounded direct, an accusation even. But he asks with an intonation of genuinity, like he genuinely wanted to know. 
It stumps you regardless.
“Well…I know I can do better, at least,” you decide to answer. 
“You’re here, which means you’re at least willing to try. That’s a start,” he murmurs. His eyes are laser focused on the sheet beneath him, holding it open as his eyes move faster across the page than you can keep up with. Somehow talking to you while taking in the words on the paper.
“I remember marking this,” he says, looking up to address you. “Your concepts are nearly there, but your structure and wording were the problem.”
“You marked them?”
He raises his brow, “I hope that wasn’t an accusation. I need to stick to the rubric.”
“I thought the professor marked the lab reports.”
“He’s…supposed to.” There’s a forced reservedness in his voice. “I mark them and he puts in his comments if he has any. But I’m not sure you’d fare any better than this if it was him behind that pen either.”
Every question that floated in memorisation, from the form and structure, to the nitty gritties of the data presentation, all evaporate as you realise you’re at a loss for words. 
Even more embarrassingly, you feel tears prick the back of your eyes as the next words leave you in a low voice, “I don’t know what to do anymore.”
“That’s alright,” he says as reassurance, though it sounds awfully rehearsed. Like he says it everyday. “We’ll work through it.”
He lets out a big sigh, adjusting in his chair and running a hand through his hair. The motion has you noticing the dishevelled nature of the mop on his head, un-uniformed and sticking out at certain places, yet still somehow cohesive with his look. His shoulders are straight and taut, fingers working as they fiddle and flick the pen in his hand. 
Despite it all, his shirt is ruffled and creased, unbuttoned at the first couple steps. The buttons are misaligned, one side of his collar higher on his neck than the other. It takes an effort to not reach over and fix it for him.
“Lab reports can be quite tricky if you aren’t sure what you’re doing. Did you refer to the tutorial?”
You mean the one that did nothing to help? “Yes.”
“You got those bits right, format and whatnot. But—”
“It was a lump of writing about subheadings and word counts,” you say plainly.
Mingyu lips are in a tight line. “Well, yes, but it helps—”
“I know the results are supposed to go in the results section. I don’t need a PDF to tell me that,” you cut him off. Your voice is reserved, and you hope it comes off as a point across and not a complaint. Although it was a complaint. “I want to know why the entire section was ruled off as incorrect when we were never properly taught how to write it in the first place.”
“Dr. Cho—”
“Is no help.”
“I understand—”
“He can’t even mark his own papers. I’m quite sure that’s not in your job description. It’s supposed to be him here. Not you.”
It’s silent. There was nothing in your voice that suggested you wished to pick a fight, on the contrary, quite calm and matter of fact. Mingyu’s fingernails are going white as his grip on his pen and paper grow stronger. 
“And yet, we continue to show up. Because we do what we must.” He raises his head in control, a small smile on his face, eyebrows unnaturally raised. “And, better that I’m here rather than no one at all. I can help you too.”
Help, he did. 
Mingyu had made it quite clear his time with you was limited, but by the end of the near 25 minute session, nearly every inch of your printed assignment was covered different colours of notes and corrections, additional papers and post-it notes pasted on the back as you remain careful to not lose them as you slip the stack in your bag. 
It’s only then that you spot the segregated stack of papers in your bag that you remember. 
“I almost forgot,” you say, grabbing the pile and placing it in front of him. 
“Where did you find this?” he asks sharply. 
“You left them at the desk of the lecture hall last week,” you say, before quickly adding, “There was a class right after you left. I took them off the professor’s hands before they got lost. Thought it might be important.”
“I’ve been looking all over for these,” he says as he goes through the pages and files. Random sticky tabs and highlighted regions across the pages. The leather strap watch with the broken clock face remains on top, and he picks it up. He looks up to you with wide, sparkling eyes and a smile that feels genuine. “Thank you.”
You flush for some reason, “O–of course, couldn’t just leave them there.”
It isn’t till you’re pushing yourself out of your chair that he says something. “You can come in at 3:30 tomorrow.”
“Pardon?”
He’s stood up as well. “I have a free thirty minutes before office hours formally start. I can help you out a little more without the crowd.” 
Feet planted on the ground, there’s not much you can do but stare. “Um, sure. I can come in a little early.”
He nods casually, “Thanks again for the papers. And the watch.”
You smile, “No problem.”

user169: what the fuck
maxverstappen1: they thought that i would be an easy target because i was so young but jokes on them i've always been taken advantage of so i saw that from a mile away (also y/n didn't want to so that obviously helped)
user170: that is actually insane like her and max are the same age so that would've made her so young i hope to god that they didn't try it with anyone older
maxverstappen1: they did but by the time they realised that it hadn't worked on me y/n had allies and fernando and seb were not about to let any of that happen

user233: but he's been so so silent and that BULLSHIT response in the press conference
user234: idk the delusion in me has this theory ... she won the case but like t swift, doesn't have access to her old work so maybe she's heartbroken over losing that and then it's just exacerbated by her boyfriend's useless bosses that are holding him captive in italy (also he was totally coached to say that shit in the presser it's written all over his strangely expressive face)
user235: at this point i might go to italy and just prison break him out of there this is ridiculous

extra note from me here. first, i will fix this tag list at some point idk why it's not working rn. secondly, i have been made aware by multiple people that there is a series just like this one down to characters and the name of the series on here and i can't lie i'm bummed about it. as i said on the first part (?) this is an idea i've had since the release of TTPD (and people will back me up on this) so it bums me out that there are blatant copies coming out! i'm all for inspiration but sometimes there's a difference between taking inspo and copying especially when my masterlist was posted ages ago and my first part was posted on the 9th of may.... anyways that's all i have to say! enjoy xx

Dear President Biden and Vice President Harris, We are 99 American physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, and midwives who have volunteered in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. Combined, we spent 254 weeks volunteering in Gaza’s hospitals and clinics. We worked with various nongovernmental organizations and the World Health Organization in hospitals and clinics throughout the Strip. In addition to our medical and surgical expertise, many of us have a public health background, as well as experience working in humanitarian and conflict zones, including Ukraine during the brutal Russian invasion. Some of us are veterans and reservists. We are a multifaith and multiethnic group. None of us support the horrors committed on October 7 by Palestinian armed groups and individuals in Israel.
We are among the only neutral observers who have been permitted to enter the Gaza Strip since October 7. Given our broad expertise and direct experience of working throughout Gaza we are uniquely positioned to comment on several matters of importance to our government as it decides whether to continue supporting Israel’s attack on, and siege of, the Gaza Strip. Specifically, we believe we are well positioned to comment on the massive human toll from Israel’s attack on Gaza, especially the toll it has taken on women and children.
This letter and the appendix show probative evidence that the human toll in Gaza since October is far higher than is understood in the United States. It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population. Our government must act immediately to prevent an even worse catastrophe than what has already befallen the people of Gaza and Israel. A ceasefire must be imposed on the warring parties by withholding military support for Israel and supporting an international arms embargo on Israel and all Palestinian armed groups. We believe our government is obligated to do this, both under American law and International Humanitarian Law. We also believe it is the right thing to do.
With only marginal exceptions, everyone in Gaza is sick, injured, or both. This includes every national aid worker, every international volunteer, and probably every Israeli hostage: every man, woman, and child. While working in Gaza we saw widespread malnutrition in our patients and our Palestinian healthcare colleagues. Every one of us lost weight rapidly in Gaza despite having privileged access to food and having taken our own supplementary nutrient-dense food with us. We have photographic evidence of life-threatening malnutrition in our patients, especially children, that we are eager to share with you. Virtually every child under the age of five whom we encountered, both inside and outside of the hospital, had both a cough and watery diarrhea. We found cases of jaundice (indicating hepatitis A infection under such conditions) in nearly every room of the hospitals in which we served, and in many of our healthcare colleagues in Gaza. An astonishingly high percentage of our surgical incisions became infected from the combination of malnutrition, impossible operating conditions, lack of basic sanitation supplies such as soap, and lack of surgical supplies and medications, including antibiotics. Malnutrition led to widespread spontaneous abortions, underweight newborns, and an inability of new mothers to breastfeed. This left their newborns at high risk of death given the lack of access to potable water anywhere in Gaza. Many of those infants died. In Gaza we watched malnourished mothers feed their underweight newborns infant formula made with poisonous water. We can never forget that the world abandoned these innocent women and babies. We urge you to realize that epidemics are raging in Gaza. Israel’s continued, repeated displacement of the malnourished and sick population of Gaza, half of whom are children, to areas without running water or even toilets available is absolutely shocking. It was and remains guaranteed to result in widespread death from viral and bacterial diarrheal diseases and pneumonias, particularly in children under the age of five. Indeed, even the dreaded polio virus has reemerged in Gaza due to a combination of systematic destruction of the sanitation infrastructure, widespread malnutrition weakening immune systems, and young children having missed routine vaccinations for nearly an entire year. We worry that unknown thousands have already died from the lethal combination of malnutrition and disease, and that tens of thousands more will die in the coming months, especially with the onset of the winter rains in Gaza. Most of them will be young children. Children are universally considered innocents in armed conflict. However, every single signatory to this letter saw children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us who worked in an emergency, intensive care, or surgical setting treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head or chest on a regular or even a daily basis. It is impossible that such widespread shooting of young children throughout Gaza, sustained over the course of an entire year is accidental or unknown to the highest Israeli civilian and military authorities.
