hate to be lame - hockey!satoru gojo x artist/influencer!reader

summary - you and satoru gojo have been best friends for years. you've also both spent years pining after each other on and off. when you like him he's wrapped up in a new relationship. when he admits to himself he has feelings for you, suddenly you're completely infatuated with the guy you just met at brunch. the timing never seems to be right and you're starting to think that just maybe, that's a sign that the two of you are better off as just friends.

chapter 1 - it might be true (masterlist) prev next

word count: 2.1k

contains: slightly nsfw but nothing crazy (yet), 18+ only

you rolled your eyes to yourself, trying to ignore the warm feeling in your stomach that appeared because satoru was still jealous over the fact that choso had been invited to karaoke the other night and he hadn't. or at least, if you were being completely honest with yourself, you thought he was jealous. your mind wanders to the night of the restaurant opening, the one you and toru were supposed to go together before he forgot and made plans with someone else. no, not just someone else, another woman.

you had sworn up and down to yourself and all your friends that you were only disappointed because he was your best friend and it was irritating getting forgotten in favor of him getting laid - it was just rude. you weren't jealous. there was nothing to be jealous of. yes, it was true, you had caught yourself on and off through the years catching feelings for the blue eyed hockey player. but it was also true that you had finally decided to move on, that if it hadn't worked out by now then it simply was never going to work out. and contrary to popular belief amongst your friends, you hadn't gone with choso to the opening to make satoru jealous. you and choso were genuinely friends, and you had known his date had fallen through too - it just made sense.

it was just a bonus that it had clearly made satoru gojo jealous.

"no you idiot, he wasn't jealous," you mentally scolded yourself, trying to convince yourself you weren't hoping it was true. your eyes closed as you settled into bed, thoughts drifting back to the other night. choso had been the perfect date. he'd made sure you were comfortable the whole night, even when you were standing together on the red carpet. it wasn't the biggest crowd of photographers, but the restaurant was owned by one of the biggest actors in the industry - of course there was fanfare and a red carpet on opening night. you'd seen some of the photos of the two of you floating around the internet, some rumors flying that the two of you were dating. but that was just the internet, there were always rumors and you had never been one to really care what people did or didn't believe was true. you had to admit, however, that you and choso had looked good together.

once inside you had quickly found your other friends, your date making no complaints about the fact that a lot of his friends were also there but you'd wanted to sit with your girlfriends. it had, despite satoru letting you down, turned into a good night after all. you were a couple drinks in when your eyes started roaming around the crowded room and landed on your best friend. rumi was draped all over him, like his attention was the only one she cared about. and yet, there he was, standing there with her but looking right at you. you lifted your hand up in a wave, offering him a small smile that caused him to blink as if he'd been caught off guard, pausing for a moment before he returned the wave and his signature, easy going smile appeared on his lips.

before you knew it, he was making his way over to your table, rumi still clinging to his arm as she attempted to keep up with him - you felt kind of bad for her. kind of. "well would you look at that, all my favorite people at one table," gojo started, looking around at each and every one of your friends before his gaze landed on you, eyebrow raised. "i'm a little hurt you decided to wear your best outfit yet when you're out with kamo and not with me." he kept his voice light and easy, like he was teasing you and he didn't actually mean anything by it. before you could give it much thought though, you heard utahime snort in disbelief as she shook her head. "and who's fault is that, gojo? you're the one who made plans with someone else when you'd already agreed to go with y/n." you can feel heat rise to your cheeks, embarrassed and unwilling to look at rumi to see if she either looked like she felt bad or if she looked smug about it. you didn't really know her all that well.

"it's fine iori," you mutter, taking a long sip of your drink as choso stepped in. "gojo, if you're jealous you're not my date you can just say that." he gave him a shit eating grin, satoru returning the same grin as the two of them started bantering back and forth. it didn't take long until they were talking about hockey (how fucking typical) and you excused yourself to go to the bathroom. you hid in the stall longer than you meant to, texting choso a quick "thanks for changing the subject" before you were quickly distracted on instagram. you weren't sure how much time had passed before you heard a couple of other women step into the bathroom, loud and clearly uncaring if anyone heard them.

"i still can't believe you're here with the satoru gojo, rumi," one voice said excitedly. a pair of giggles followed, the two women standing in front of the mirror to fix their makeup. "it's not a big deal, he's clearly not looking for a relationship." a pause. "doesn't mean i can't have some fun tonight though. i'm dying to see if he's as big as the rumors claim." and the sudden image of gojo and rumi fucking filled your brain and you wanted to throw up. just because you didn't want to imagine your best friend having sex, not because the idea of him sleeping with another woman who wasn't you made you jealous. you tried to convince yourself of that, at any rate.

you waited a few minutes after the women had left to leave the bathroom yourself, both relieved and disappointed when you saw that satoru was no longer sitting at your table. you forced yourself to push all thoughts of him out of your mind, instead determined to focus on having a good time. which you did, of course. you had some of the best fucking friends a girl could ask for and even though choso had been invited to karaoke with your group he had declined, making all of you promise to text him when you were home safe. but if the thought of choso at karaoke with you made gojo jealous? you weren't in a rush to correct him that cho hadn't come along.

you also weren't in a rush for the sound of your alarm going off at six in the morning. you were tempted to ignore it and go back to sleep, but you knew satoru well and you knew if you didn't get up he'd barge in with the key he had in case you locked yourself out of your apartment and quite frankly, you weren't in the mood to deal with him yapping at you to get ready. so you got ready on your own, drank your coffee, and when he showed up exactly at 6:30, you were ready to head out the door immediately.

"well damn, not even going to invite me in?" he asked as you stepped outside as soon as he had knocked, locking the door behind you and huffing as you made your way to the elevator. "no, because i want to get this workout over with and if you go inside you'll get distracted and before i know it it's too late for us to get brunch and getting brunch at merry's is the only thing keeping me going today." you stepped inside the elevator, crossing your arms as you leaned against the back wall. "good morning, by the way," you said, tone a little less snippy than it had been ten seconds before.

"a good morning for you indeed, you get to get all hot and bothered with me today." he grinned down at you, standing so close as the elevator went down you swore you could feel his breath on you. rolling your eyes, you shook your head as you reached up to flick his nose gently. "you couldn't get me hot and bothered even if you tried," you shot back, falling so easily into the banter of your friendship. banter that was full of inside jokes and teasing, comments that were just enough to make you wonder if you two were flirting but not so overt that there wasn't plausible deniability. it was a dangerous line you two had been walking for years, neither crossing it nor backing away - no wonder you were always so confused.

"you know i love a good challenge, petal," he replied with a half-smirk, using the name he'd been using for you since you were in middle school. someone had asked you why you liked flowers so much and you had blurted out that "petals were so pretty" and gojo had found it so funny the way you had immediately flushed at your answer - he'd been calling you petal ever since.

"fuck off you creep," you muttered, tone playful without a hint of seriousness. you pushed past him as the elevator opened and you two made your way to his car, where you then spent the entire drive to the gym arguing over who had dibs on the music: the driver or the passenger. ultimately you won, laughing as he pretended to be grumpy about the music you chose but before long he himself was singing along to gleefully.

this wasn't the first time you had worked out with gojo. it wasn't something you made a habit of, mostly because he was a professional fucking hockey player and his workout regimen was much more intense than yours was. you spent most of the time each doing your own thing, sometimes exercising next to each other where you caught him grinning at you through the reflection in the mirror more than once, his gym tank top leaving the muscles of his arms proudly on display. you weren't sure what was more irritating: the fact that he was so fucking hot or the fact that he knew it and didn't shy away from it.

you were on your last exercise, barbell rows your actual enemy but something you did anyway. you were looking at yourself in the mirror next to you, eyes assessing your form as you bent over, trying to make sure you didn't accidentally hurt yourself from bad technique. without warning, you felt gojo right behind you, his body pressed close to your ass as his hands reached down to your hips. "almost perfect but adjust this a little," he muttered, adjusting your hips slightly before he moved a hand to your back. "aaand just a little more straight here... there we go." you were about to mutter a thanks and something about how nice it was that he was kind of helpful sometimes before you caught his eye in the mirror and you knew.

yes, he was helping you make sure your form was correct. but you could tell by the look in his eyes that he was trying to make you flustered - it didn't help that it also kind of looked like he had you bent over ready to get fucked. whether it was because he actually liked the idea of you getting hot and bothered over him or because he could be an immature asshole who loved to tease you, you weren't sure. all you knew for sure was two things: you could tell there was heat pooling between your legs leaving you suddenly feeling very needy, and you were not about to let him have this over you.

and so you pressed your ass back, ever so slightly grinding against his crotch that whether or not it had been on purpose could have been up for debate. by the look of his eyes suddenly going wide, you knew he had expected you to jerk away from him and tell him off, not give back what he'd been serving you. "thanks so much toru," you cooed, ass pressing back against him just a little more. he swallowed, forcing himself to take a step back as he tried to discreetly adjust his sweat pants. "s'no problem at all," he muttered before excusing himself to the locker room, telling you he just needed to sit in the sauna or something and to let him know when you were done.

a/n: this feels more like a tease to me lmao, but next chapter will be picking up right where this leaves off!! but it will be a little angsty so pls prepare urselves.

Kageyama my man the love of my life (just don't tell Atsumu you know?)

He's so emotionally constipated my poor baby, and even if he navigates through his feelings a bit better when he's older it's… Still difficult, nevertheless he finds ways to share how he's head over heels for you. We know he's not the best at words when he hasn't had the time to think about it (if you give him a day or two he comes with some non intentional poetic stuff)….So I feel his way to express affection is through actions

He's your personal nail saloon artist, he's a bit wonky with the edges on that painting department but he uses the nail file with precision. It's also like he has magic hands or something cuz your nails never break after he starts taking care of them

What else? I feel he talks on his sleep, or at least mumbles. Not canon in what we see on the whole series but he has so many thoughts going on his head he HAS to let something out while he sleeps

Also, big hands, his hands are ridiculously large and calloused like you can't imagine….but they are incredibly gentle when they hold your face or when you feel him caressing your cheeks at night. Totally related I feel he's the type to wait for you to fall asleep so he can stare at you

Won't cry at your wedding, but you feel his gaze on you the whole celebration and it makes the butterflies in your stomach go crazy

Tone deaf, I'm sorry but I feel he just sings with the same intonation he speaks (still joins you on karaoke and enjoys screaming when there's rock or something like that)

Knows shit ton of hair and skin care products…. Courtesy of Miwa

And I have more but like, I have my headcanons and fantasies all over the place I might come back to share them later 🥲

I. Want to eat him alive. This is so cute.

Kageyama is so emotionally constrained that if you do something nice for him, or even simply say “I love you” he’ll just pull you in for a kiss on the cheek or a small, shy smile. But sure enough, when your head is on his shoulder, eyes focused on the tv, it’s so much easier for him to whisper a soft “I love you” while he copies your stare at the television.

His nail techniques go so hard it’s crazy. He’s got all the oils to make them strong, he files them to the perfect length and style (even though he’s best at squared filing) to make them easy to use in every day life. He typically denies your requests for him to paint your nails, but sometimes, he gives in to those sweet puppy eyes and gives you a few coat of paint. Just please don’t tease him about flooding your cuticles, because he’s trying his best to learn for you.

HE SO DOES TALK IN HIS SLEEP, rambling about nonsense sometimes, then forming coherent conversations in others. One time, he grabbed by the shirt collar and yanked you close, whispering in your ear a fully verbalized “I’m pretty sure Sailor Mercury is in our basement. Or someone else. I don’t know.” You were awake all night hoping, begging, praying, that it was sailor Mercury and he didn’t see someone downstairs- and when you ask him about his dream, he shrugs and said he didn’t have one. LIKE BROTHER HUH??

BIG HANDS BIG HANDS BIG HANDS MAKE BRAIN GO BRRRRRRRR BECause imagine like when you’re just laying on your sides, looking at each other in the most love you’ve ever felt, and all he can do is bring a big hand to gently cup your cheek, thumb softly stroking the delicate skin of your under eyes. Your lids just barely flutter at the tickly feeling, and you nuzzle into the warmth of his palm, pressing a kiss to the calloused heel of his hand. He doesn’t say or do anything, barely even smile, as his blue eyes glaze over your face adoringly. Even until your own eyes grow heavy, you feel his on you, grounding you and keeping you safe.

AND TOBIO IS NOT A BIG CRIER BUT he feels things so deeply, you basically see his brain buffer, cogs turning as his eyes glimmer and shine as he gazes at you. You know his mind is flooded with you, your future, your life together, and he feels so excited to spend every moment he can with you. He can’t wait to marry you 🥺🩷

KAGEYAMA TOBIO HAS NO SENSE OF SOUND, WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He cant whisper, he cant sing, he’s only able to do so when he doesn’t think about it, he just has one solid tone as he tries to sing with you in the car. But he will belt out songs with you regardless, he wants to make you happy, even if he can’t sing to save your life.

GRRRRRRR I LOVE HIM SO MUCJ TOBIO MY SWEETHEART 🥺🩷

What gifts to buy for each Venus sign

Christmas is among us, my favourite season and time of the year. Venus is the planet of love, by nature it can display what we like to receive from others but if you don’t know their Venus or the house it’s in you can try to look at the persons Sun sign instead but Venus is ideal.

A gift based on their:

They need gifts that match their decisive nature and to let out that pent up energy they have in them, I honestly think experiences are the best for them. Or a box of hair dye for their impulsive moments

Taurus/ 2H Venus

Hire a chef or take them to a really good restaurant for a 5 course meal that serves orgasmic food and has impeccable visuals/atmosphere OR you can even arrange a 7 course homemade meal with the finest of recipes! , fine jewellery adorned with a gemstone, culinary experiences, cooking classes, kitchenware, go to fragrantica.com and find a high quality perfume to give, premium home decor, art, antique items, antique furniture, comfortable cosy clothing, hot water bottle, gardening tools, plants, selection of seeds for their garden, diffuser, essential oils, desserts like baklava/ferro rocher, luxury goods, wellness retreat subscription, day at the spa, tea set, comfy velvet winter pillows and bed sheets

They enjoy the finer things of life of course Venus ruled, they know how to induge in pleasures and satisfaction. Due to the earthy influence they have a green finger and a natural affinity with plants and gardening, they may love flowers or want to grow plants themselves. Taurus venuses are rather easy to gift, if you know them they usually have a vice, it may be sleep, food or pure laziness, get them something according to their vice and they will treasure it.

A perfect gift for Leo’s need to have an element of self expression, luxury and incorporate their personality that garners attention from peers. They need a gift that makes them feel special, something tailored specifically for them that cannot be gifted to anyone else. Personalised gifts do well either this placement too.

Get them something matcha based.

Virgo Venus natives need gifts that resemble their routine and organisation, they can be rather difficult to purchase for since they have such a specific taste in mind. Gift cards are practical for them but they really need something that allows them to be more prepared.

♡Lust and Lore More - hwang hyunjin

(this is a membership exclusive + a preview 👀 you can read the whole sappy story here)

pairing: tattoo artist! Hyunjin x fem! reader

summary: It's been weeks since you've seen Hyunjin and your tattoo has healed nicely. But a chance encounter at a local karaoke bar as you running into the hot, tatted man that took still calls you Cookie...

warnings: fluff, smoking, heavy kissing, tattoo and scarring, mentions of alcohol

....The bar was called The Tiger Cub and if you didn't know it was a karaoke club already, the name wasn't helping things much. The inside was dark with just a few neon lights illuminating the way to the private rooms. You got there early to secure a large enough room for you and your friends. Your outfit was flirtatious and fun. A tight-fitting, black dress that hugged your curves and dips of your figure with seductive execution. The garment itself left little to the imagination, the best part being your new tattoo was in full display. You stood at the front counter and waited for someone to assist you. The place wasn't particularly packed for a Friday night, but the teenage staff members weren't exactly chomping at the bit to service anyone.

“I recognize those birds.” A smooth, deep voice cut through the music booming through the speakers around you.

You turned around to see your tattoo artist, Hyunjin, standing behind you with a drink and a smirk. He slowly sauntered over to you, his movements easy going and tranquil. He had a casual coolness about him that made you almost jealous. He leaned his back against the counter next to you. His smirk quickly grew to a full smile as his eyes took in your outfit for the evening.

“How ya been, cookie?” His voice flinted across the air and straight to your core.

When Eddie and Steve first became parents, Robin made them a silent promise.

She swore to herself that she was going to give their children the most annoying gifts she could possibly find.

(To preserve the sanctity of their friendship, of course).

In 2006, when Moe and Robbie are five and three, Robin catches wind of the girls’ struggle to learn the appropriate places to put stickers. She found this out when Steve lamented to her for fifteen entire minutes about how difficult it is to get stickers off of clothing and walls and windows and light switches (everything, pretty much).

So it is with great delight that Robin adds two colossal books of novelty stickers to the collection of gifts she and Nancy were pulling together. She also gives them each a paint set and fabric markers.

Moe and Robbie were pumped, naturally. Steve and Eddie were not.

Robin: What? I just want to support their artistic endeavors!

Robin happens to think she went easy on them. She’d also seen a kids’ megaphone that she graciously vetoed (Hazel is still a newborn and still not sleeping through the night yet – she wants to bug them, not drive them off the ledge into total insanity).

The next year, she doesn’t hold back – not only does she give them the megaphone, but she also finds a slide whistle and a plastic recorder and a bucket of mega bouncy balls.

Over the years the girls get from their Aunt Robin – slime, kinetic sand, a karaoke machine that was only programmed with Disney Channel Original Musical soundtracks, prank kits, a cowbell, craft glitter, a rock tumbler, an ant farm. One year she gave all three of them Furbies.

This crusade is easy when the girls are little, because kids' toys are notably annoying as a baseline, but she has a harder time when the girls hit their teen years. Robin, however, is nothing if not committed to the bit, so she always manages to figure something out.

Robin: Do you think it’d be taking it too far to buy Moe that phone she’s been harassing them about.

Nancy: Uh, yeah.

Robin: What about the gerbil for Hazel?

Nancy: *thinking*

Nancy: That one’s fine.

“Being Best-friends with Dante Sparda„

Being a son of Sparda doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time to fool around with you ! Gender neutral human reader

Teenage Years | DMC3

Being the massive flirt he is he’ll most likely try and flirt with you upon meeting

Seeing as his twin brother is currently trying to kill him and take his necklace he’ll keep your first conversation short and leave you with his number

After literal Hell on Earth he’ll remember to give you a call

Y’all click instantly…he’s also just a really easy person to get along with but we’ll just ignore that

Now we all know he STAYS broke so either you pay for a meal or y’all are taking a walk in the park somewhere

Getting him to actually talk about himself is pretty difficult

Give him space and he’ll open up about deeper things in his life eventually especially things that concern his demon half(brother, childhood, etc.)

He does enjoy throwing compliments everywhere so expect daily words of praise whether it be sarcastic, goofy, exaggerated, or sincere praise

If you like to compliment as well it’ll be like the most sickening bromance ever

If your still in school DO NOT go to him for homework help

He’ll hype you up for sure but if you need genuine academic help just get a tutor💀

Would be genuinely upset if you made a joke regarding his white hair bro would get hella moody and claim you aren’t friends anymore

If you have a part time job you can BET he’s gonna ask for some bread

Not exactly outright but he’ll allude to it like..

“You remember all the damage those demon guys did to my shop? Yeah…it’s gonna cost A TON to repair it by myself…”

“Are you hungry? Well I heard about this new pizza spot that WE should totally tryout 😁.”

If you like to make clothes/jewelry/accessories he’ll totally wear it

Refuses to let you mess with his hair until like two years into knowing each other

Takes pride in his looks and you should too! Self care! Ofc you’re paying for any and all expenses🫶

Glorified sugar daddy😭

If you live with your parents…so does he

Congratulations you have a new brother 🩰

If you don’t he’ll offer to be roommates so he can get a cheaper rent

You’ll definitely meet Lady she is absolutely appalled at how you tolerate him constantly sarcastically ofc she knows he’s a good guy

If you’re into video games he’ll play with you granted he doesn’t have the money to pay for a game console so it’ll be on whatever console you have

Once he’s in your life he’s never leaving literally.

A best-friend for a lifetime

Adult Years

He probably saved you from some demons

Like if you met him in his teenage year he’d def start flirting

What can I say he stays true to himself

His personality would never change regardless of his aging

Still the same wacky woohoo pizza man we know and love

Thinks you look hot and invites you on a date which quickly just turns into a hangout after the LACK of romance

Still finds hanging with you to be fun and keeps a friendship

Even after establishing a friendship he still flirts here and there—force of habit

Would definitely teach you how to ride a motorcycle if you didn’t already know

More willing to let you mess with his hair

Like put it in pigtails or tie it up/braid it

Introduced you to the whole DMC gang

Now depending on the time period he’ll tell you about Vergil and his upbringing

He would totally tell you all about it after the events of DMC5 after he returns ofc!

I feel like he’s an animal guy so if you have any pets they’re now his pets too

Co-parenting core🩰

If you’re an artist he’ll be your muse/reference material any day

Loves the attention

Drunk dance nights

Karaoke too he doesn’t have the best singing voice but it’s not the worst

Since he’s a devil hunter he goes on missions a lot and seeing as you don’t want to get your shit rocked you stay behind

Cherishes every moment spent together and will make sure you know that

You always take him with you on vacations

How could you not???

He appreciates if you chip in helping him pay off his MASSIVE FUCKING DEBT

He doesn’t expect you to though

Despite being broke he stays stylish and if you asked would help you with fashion

Ofc he isn’t like BIG on fashion but cmon have you seen his looks? He dabbles

Immediately sees you after missions and starts ranting about the entire thing

“Can you believe it?! So obviously I shot that nasty bitch and it had the nerve to explode all over my jacket! It died so I can’t even get it to pay for a new one!”

“Don’t worry about why I smell like this worry about the fact that Trish totally took MY commission!”

Very dramatic but laid back too if that makes sense

Calls you cheesy nicknames that I will not elaborate on use your imagination 🗣️🫶

Enjoys live music and will go with you to concerts if you like

Shows you his demon form if you’re interested

Whatever your hobby is he’ll be interested

Would make sure nothing ever bad happened to you regarding devils ofc

Best bros for life and in death🫡

Christmas is best spent/with friends and Family, A/pollo proves this fact

For @heresronnie21 from @peishathebookity using the prompts Meg grows a perfect tree... then decorates like a meg, Cabin 7 karaoke with dad and Waystation Family gift giving

'Lesteeeeerrrr."

I smiled. the voice of my demigod companion, Meg McCaffrey, came into my mind in the form of a prayer. Ever since she figured out I could hear prayers, Meg had been talking nonstop.

"Can you come here?"  Meg asked, or more fittingly prayed. "I need help."

I smiled. A part of split off to the Cistern.

Meg was standing in the living room, in front of a big Evergreen. The tree's dryad stood next to it, hands on hips.

"You called?" I said.

Meg grunted in response. She grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to the tree.

Ah, Meg had called me to assist me in decorating the Cistern's Christmas Tree. (A note, just because I am a Greek god and a pagan, does not mean I cannot celebrate christmas. Though, dad doesn't like it much when we do.)

Well, lucky for her, I have decorated MANY trees. I could her help with that.

"Sure," I said, and she grinned. I gulped a bit at that, but it couldn't be THAT bad.

Turns out it was.

Meg did not call me for my awesome and creative artistic abilities, nooo, she called me because of my "goddy abilities."

"Apollo, summon blue candy canes." She ordered.

I raised an eyebrow at her. Who used blue candy canes for their tree? It was usually red and white or red and green. And trust me, I know. I see a lot of things from the sun chariot.

Meg stomped my leg, "c'mon, dummy!" I caved.

I summoned ten blue candy canes in my arm, and handed it to her. She looked at them, then at me, then nodded approvingly. I did not get punched in the knee.

Then Meg bit into one. I winced. Meg frowned as she pulled it out.

"This isn't a candy cane!"

"Yes it is, it's a candy cane ornament," I reasoned.

"I was asking for candy canes. Not ornaments." Meg punched my knee. But I was a god so it didn't hurt.

"I thought we were decorating."

Meg looked up at me. "Why would you think that?" I gestured at the tree.

The dryad scoffed. "No one is decorating ME. Don't you know how heavy ornaments are?"

I did not how heavy ornaments are.

"Not even for Christmas?" I asked.

The dryad shot me a look, then sighed. "I'd love too, it's the holiday season and all, but ornaments are really heavy!"

Well, that would be easy to deal with.

I motioned for Meg to hand me the candy canes (which she was trying to suck on, again.)

She reluctanctly handed me them. The I vanished them.

Meg stared at me.

Then I summoned ones that were hollow made of light materials.

"Help me decorate?" I asked. Meg smiled.

The first of the decorations were done, and several blue candy canes we littered (terrible wording, I know) on one side of the tree (no one would look at the back).

I stretched my arms. Meg had asked to put on the higher spots, but didn't reach. Instead of asking me to do it like a normal person, she asked me to carry her so she could do it, instead.

"How does it feel?" Meg asked.

Evergreen went out of her tree. "Not too bad," she bedrudgingly replied. Meg smiled, and turned to me. And I wonder once again what I had gotten myself into.

"You aren't adding fairy lights?" I asked.

"NO!" Evergreen protester.

"Yeah no we don't do that here." I turned around. Joseph, a male dryad, was leaning on the door. "The electicity bill is expensive." On that, I could agree.

Meg stepped on my foot, "summon green ball thingies." Joseph left after that.

"Ornaments," I corrected. Meg rolled her eyes, muttering about potatoes and tomatoes, which was NOT how the saying goes. I still summoned ten of them.

Meg tried to put them up, then realized she was, once again, too short.

"You need to get more calcium," I told her. She stamped my foot. I, by the way, have nothing againt short people. Short people are cute! Why, I have dated many. Still, Meg was a growing girl.

I carried her up. Meg did not weight much, though this was probaly because I was a god. She put a lot of the green ones on top, no, she put all ten of them on top.

"Now for yellow," she said. I stared at her. Green and yellow... hmmm...

I summoned them for her. Meg could put half of them just fine, but needed my part for some higher ones.

"Why did you call me and not just ask Lu?" I asked her after helping her put on a pink - that's right, pink - star on top of Evergreen.

Meg shrugged. "I wanted to hang out with you, I guess." My heart warmed.

Then Meg asked me to summon red ones. And she put them on the bottom half. She walked back and admired her work.

Meg had decorated her tree as a street lamp, with a glow in the dark pink star on top.

I was having a really hard time processing this.

Evergreen seem to share my sentiment.

She stepped out of her tree, and looked at our job. Dumbfouned and shocked.

She turned around at us. "Whose idea was this?" she demanded angrily.

Meg pointed at me. I protested. Evergreen believed Meg over me, though, and sent me a stink eye.

She sighed, "oh well, I guess it's too late to do anything." But then she looked at me.

"Well, I gotta go," I said and dissapeared, not wanting to deal with an angry dryad.

After that fiasco, I decided to visit my kids, and drop their gifts while I was at it.

When I teleported into the Me cabin, the whole place was still bright and alive. The sound proof walls were up (after several complaints from the rest of camp, the row of 5-7-9 were given sound proof walls to use at night) and all my children were wide awake.

Jerry, Gracie, and Yan were playing a vicous and extreme round of Uno on the floor (a game that was one of the reasons why Olympus no longer held game nights, another reason is that dad is always right, and therefore the best at everyting, but we also cannot just give up, and oh the fights that erupted from it.) Gracie and Jerry were doubling down laughing as Yan picked up card after card with a mournfull expression.

Austin was playing a love song using his saxophone in its full glory, while Kayla faked gagged at Will and Nico from her perch on the top bunk. My son's skin had gotten darker with the blush, while Nico sat on the bed with a deadpan expression.

None of them had seen me yet.

It was my youngest that did.

"DADDY!" Gracie screamed and stood up, throwing away her stack of 14 Uno cards in the air. She pushed her siblings and jumped, enloping me in a hug. I scooped her up and twirled her around, smelling her cherry scented hair, the sound of her giggles music to my ears.

Jerry groaned, as he was about to win. Yan was not sad at all, seeing as they had 36 cards. They threw down their stack and walked over to me, much to Jerry's chagrin.

Austin stopped playing, and Kayla jumped up from her perch, which I winced. Luckily my ginger daughter was fine. Will stood up and dragged Nico, staring at the younger three's mess disdainfully.

"Hey dad," Austin greeted. I gently dropped Gracie and hugged her siblings and  brother in law.

"How are my sunshines doing?" I asked.

"I was about to win but somebody had to run off," Jerry sent a side eye at a certain blonde with pigtails. Gracie, being the mature twelve year old she was, stuck out her tongue at him. Yan shook their head at their antics.

"Gracie don't tease your brother, and Jerry we can play later," I chided.

Jerry lit up, "can Yan get 36 cards in one round again?" Yan groaned and playfully punched him.

Then Jerry stamped on their shoes.

Then Yan pulled his sleeve.

I realized they were about to fight and quickly dissolved it. Gracie was the one that shook her head, this time.

Kayla held my hand and brought me to the rug in the middle, waving at the others too follow.

Jerry grabbed all the Unos with help of Gracie, and brought them to the rug.

"We're doing 7 each," Jerry said and started to dividing them. Nico tried to leave but stopped when Will pulled him in.

"You're not leaving me with Jerry and Uno."

Nico and Will sat together, with Austin on Will's right. Kayla sat left from Nico, with me on her left. Yan was beside me and Jerry and Gracie sat next to them with Gracie next to Austin (because Austin and Jerry should not sit next together)

And thus, the game of Uno began

"Uno!!" Jerry exclaimed cheerfully as he placed down another plust two card.

Yan's color drained from their face. Turns out, their last card was not a plus one.

It was sad watching them get 36 cards. Gracie was laughing again. Will shook his head.

Nico had about 19 cards. Kayla had raged quitted after getting a stack of 28. Austin was content with his 7. Will did not care. Gracie and Jerry were tied in five, and Yan had 37. I had 3.

Jerry's card was blue, and I placed down a blue +2

Somehow, Yan won. And Jerry was last, much to his dismay.

"I want a rematch," he proclaimed to his sibling. Will shook his head.

"C'mon," Austin said, "karaoke time!"

He pulled my hand and asked me to set up the karaoke set. Will, Gracie, and Nico sent scared looks of eachother. My youngest did not know what to fear.

Austin turned on his speaker and played THE Christmas song. Nico had gone, much to Will's dismay, as soon as the song started. Kayla is searching for something to cover her ears with, and Will is done.

Yan is confused. Jerry is insulted by Austin's choice in music. Gracie though...

"-IS YOU!" she sang, joining me and Austin in karaoke (Will shot me betrayed looks when i joined my other son in his fun.)

The song finished, and Jerry turned to look at his brother. "Austin, what the bloody hell was that."

"Language," I reprimanded as Yan asked him to donate into the swear jar.

"It's your turn, now," Austin said and smiled. Jerry slinked away but Austin caught him before he could.

Gracie turned on her song choice, and started singing along.

"LAST CHRISTMAS I GAVE YOU MY HEART, BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY-" she stopped for Jerry, giving him a look.

"You got fanum taxxed." He sang, seemingly enjoying himself.

Gracie and Austin both stopped, staring at him as if he had grown another head.

"THIS YEAR, TO SAVE ME FROM MEWING," Jerry continued on, completely oblivious from his siblings' stares. Will looked done with him, and Kayla's jaw was dropped. Yan just shoon their head, seemingly used to Jerry's antics.

"I'LL GIVE IT TO SOMEONE RIZZFULL~"

Gracie shook out of her daze and clamped Jerry's mouth shut, and shook him.

"What was that?" She demanded.

"How, where have you heard rizz from?" Austin wondered out loud, wondering how Jerry, who was white, heard the AAVE word. (AAVE, mind you, is slang Blacks made to talk about things without alarming the oppressors)

"...gen Alpha version?" He said unsure.

The others just stared at him as if he was summoning an ancient primordial by turning into a dog and dancing (long story don't ask)

Jerry was panicked that his siblings had no clue.

"Dad that was future stuff, wasn't it?" Jerry's thought prayer asked, since he couldn't say it out loud and his siblibgs couldn't know, yet. And Jerry wasn't comfortable with people knowing.

I shook my head, and he blushed at my gesture.

Austin shook his head, "just, how do you know rizz?"

Jerry shrugged. "It just came to me."

"Well, don't say things if ya don't know the meaning, okay?" Jerry nodded dutifully.

"Can I choose a song now?" Austin hesistated before letting his brother choose, hopefully nothing like the monstrosity of the one before.

Jingle Bell Rock played, and I heard a snippet of Will and Kayla'a conversation.

"I think he's too far gone, Will"

But Will and Yan were singing along, then Kayla joined, and it lasted until I forced them to go to sleep (they were still kids after all.)

As I rised the sun, this prayer greeted me:

"Hey Apollo,"  the voice of my friend Jo came into my head "We're opening the gifts."

I split off a part of me to Indiana. This year, Jo and Emmie thought it would be a good idea to do a secret Santa. Me and Meg were invited. Meg couldn't come though since she was spending Christmas in the Cistern.

The Waystation was bright and colorful. Red and green fairy lights were intertwined with fake bushes on the walls. Mistletoes were everywhere, and all sorts of Christmas decorations were on the walls. All the inhabitants were in the living room.

"Hello, Waystation," I greeted.

The Waystation's tree was (thankfulky) decorated normally, with ornaments and cady canes and red string around. The star was a celestial bronze throwing star. The gifts were under the tree.

Jo waved me over. "Hey Apollo," Emmie greeted, leaning on her lover.

I walked over and sat next to Leo. "Hey guys," I greeted back.

"Okay now that everyone's here, let's get started, eh?" Leo said, grabbing a red gift. He read the tag, "Georgie this is for you." He tossed the gift to the eight year old sitting on Lit's lap, next to their moms.

Georgie caught the gift and giggled. She opened it up and found a coloring set and book. Her eyes lit up and teared.

Calypso smiled from where she sat next to Sssssarah, happy Georgie enjoyed the gift she got her.

Georgie put her gift next to her, then walked over to the tree and grabbed a green, giving it to Olujime.

The pretty man took the present, and inside it was a key chain of an ax, with a note attached. "From Stan," Olujime read the tag.

He opened the note and scanned the page, his eyes widening after. He took the keychain, and flipped.

The keychain, turned into a lifesize ask.

Stan, for your information, was also a son of Hekate, and was being mentored by Jo to take care of the Waystation after she and Emmie dies.

Olujime grinned at the ax before minisizing it, shooting a thanks at Stan. The boy was very proud of this.

Olujime grabbed a colorfull paper wrapped box, and handed it to Leo.

Leo opened it gingerly, and opened the brown box inside it. It was filled with bits and bobs and a drawing of Festus, by Georgie.

Leo sniffed and wiped his eye. "It's beautiful," he said rather melodramatically.

Stan had an equally dramatix reaction to Lit's gift, a book on the history of Magical Mechanics by Hardy Long from RMRAR Publishings, the only publisher of the Greco-Roman world (other titles you may know would be Camp Half Blood Confidential or the Demigod Files)

The Lit in question scratched his neck at the Stan who had tears and thanking him really really extravagantly.

Lit could not relate. Sssssarah had given him a new cornhusker shirt and corn seeds, with a note saying, "reap more corn and less men."

Suffice to say, Leo will not let that die down. Sssssarah was rather proud at her idea.

Jo must've known about the Snake's parctical joke since all she gave her was eggs in cups.

It didn't work well though. Sssssarah loved it, and ate it all up in a couple of bites.

Stan stared at her in disgust.

Olujime gifted Calypso a hand made book full of note sheets for her band practice. Calypso was really happy, even if she was losing interest in band. Not that Olujime knew that, of course.

Emmie's gift was the best, of course. She had given me a picture book filled with pictures of time I spent with my loved ones, with empty slots for more. I did not cry, my eyes were watering from the dust.

The gift Deacon (and me. I helped xey out) gave to Emmie was also really good. She got artifacts from way back when, something to remember with.

I don't know if it was a good idea, though.

Leo got Deacon a lot of toys, and I gave Jo handmade sweaters.

It was a very nice present opening. And I had to leave for goddy reasons and Calypso wanted to spend time with her bandmates and Olujime wanted to hang with his girlfriend. Leo and Deacon went to their work.

for once I’m not asking for angst 🤞 what kind of music would the modern au characters like? Like genres and bands :)

completely biased because i listen exclusively to musicals and late 00s teenage angst black parade is forever BUT

arthur: country music. including white girl country-pop music. can be caught doing little shuffle steps as he discreetly tries to dance along to a song stuck in his head while mumbling the lyrics under his breath. has main character moments smoking outside at night listening to need you now by lady a.

lenny: really into remixes. likes the extra pep it puts in his step, will accidentally walk to the beat and look like a dork. surprising amount of rock. but anything that's super lyrical, songs that tell a story, he will add to his playlist. duets what you own from rent with sean on karaoke nights.

sean: could not name a single band or genre he listens to because it's just anything with a high enough bpm to make his brain buzz. honorable mention to the cranberries and flogging molly but will do a fully choreographed routine to jailhouse rock without a single drink in his system.

hosea+bessie: any old timey easy listening ballads, occasional swing. hosea can't sing to save his life bless him but will still sing the really cheesy romantic lines to bessie as they slow dance in the living room after a few glasses of wine they're so in love please. anything that would be a first dance song at a wedding they have in their playlist

dutch: opera and orchestra forever. exact same music he listened to at camp will go on about kids these days and the hippity hop they dare call music. it takes him exactly 3 seconds after being introduced to cds and digital downloads to become a vinyl purist even complains about record players over gramophone.

annabelle+susan: annabelle is probably the most adapted to modern era she will listen to anything radio popular and susan is the same way inclined thanks to her job at at the local pub. but they both particularly enjoy bonnie tyler, kate bush and a sneaky bit of abba. think mamma mia is a cinematic masterpiece.

molly: mitski. boygenius. phoebe bridgers. aurora. any indie female lead who sings about broken hearts/betrayal/angry break up songs. listens to a suspicious amount of queer artists too.

kieran: the definition of 'i'll just be here listening to my tunes' only for the speakers to immediately cut to screamo. occasionally they can hear the bass through his headphones and gently remind him to turn it down to protect his hearing. despite this he will always get the mlp theme song stuck in arthur's head at the worst times.

javier: disgusted that disco was dead by the time he timewarped. just wants to boogie to that 70s funky beats. definitely has a playlist dedicated to john marston that is just any song with a reference to wolves. thinks he's hilarious. is the reason john can identity hungry like the wolf within two seconds of it starting (he walks out) (javier learned it on guitar. and both in english and spanish)

jack+isaac: mcr, panic, fallout boy. they will forever be on that angsty teenage bullshit. isaac may have designed them fabulous killjoy ocs and jack proceeded to write a 100k word self-insert fanfic about them. and they have matching mcr lyric tattoos. and mutually agree the kids from yesterday was actually written about them. play that g note and they both collapse with sorrow.

↳ Keep reading below for a summary!

Around the third time the trailer got vandalized, Eddie had something of a meltdown. Over a year had gone by since his name was cleared, but the people of Hawkins still hated him and the thought of leaving was just that. A thought. It was getting to be a bit too much — suffocating, actually — and he told Steve that he had to escape. Even if only temporarily.

And that was the thing about Steve, he made things happen. More than that, he had a good track record for blowing Eddie’s expectations out of the water. He snagged the key to his family’s lake house in upstate Michigan and told Eddie that it was theirs for all of August.

It probably wasn’t the smartest thing to agree to. Spending an entire month with the guy he had a huge crush on? In a beautiful waterfront cottage, no less? It was a recipe for disaster as much as it was an alluring siren’s song, but Eddie wasn’t really known for his sense of self-preservation.

So, for the next four weeks, he had to try and keep his wayward heart on a tight leash (or risk ruining his friendship with Steve forever). But, through bonfires and bed sharing, through county fairs and karaoke, through sunbathing and skinny dipping, it wasn’t going to be easy.

Angel voice

Summary: Pedro Pascal x Reader. Karaoke night with friends.

***this is officially my first fic! I had this story in my mind for so long, I had to write it. I’m not even a good writer and English is my second language, so I’m sorry if it’s a tough read. No beta , I don’t know anyone who could help me with this , any volunteers ? ***

Warnings: RPF. Just friendships. A little flirting. I guess … two idiots falling in love.

For the last few months , you always walked hand in hand with your new bestie Sarah. The friendship was new, but it was intense. You met her on the set of an amazing indie film. She was the main character and you were the supporting one. It was a movie about a love story between two inspiring women. Loving Sarah on screen and in real life was easy, it felt like you knew her your whole life.

Tonight was no different, your hand into hers , you walked on the sidewalk together with some of her closest friends. Oscar and Elvira were walking behind you whispering sweet nothings to each other while Pedro was the leader of the pack , goofing around , pretending to be in an action movie , hiding from imaginary bad guys. The little group of friends kindly accepted you as the new member of their pack as soon as Sarah introduced you to them. Since you just recently moved to NYC, it was great to have people you could count on.

You were lost in your thoughts , feeling the warmth of the summer breeze on your face and bare shoulders. Only hearing the buzzing sounds of the city. You were having a hard time realizing how lucky you were to have them, to be exactly where you wanted to be with your acting career, you felt really emotional at that moment. Maybe it was the fatigue from the long days on set or maybe it was the effect of Sarah’s earlier questionable concoctions she called her special drinks , but you could cry. You were so lost in your own head that you jumped when you heard Elvira joyous exclamation.

- YEEEES! Come on guys! It’s been a hot minute since we humiliated ourselves properly!

You heard Pedro hum a barely perceptible « oh nooooo » while he formed a fake gun with his hand and pretended to shoot himself. You snapped out of your thoughts and looked at what Elvira was so excited about. You were pleased to see that is was a karaoke bar.

Only Sarah knew that you were a good singer. She called you her soft angel when you sang for her on set. Your favorite Pink Floyd songs were the soundtrack of your blooming friendship. Truth is , you tried to succeed as a singer/songwriter a few years ago, but it just didn’t happen. It was for the best though, now you knew it. After realizing you would probably never be a recording artist , you decided to focus on your acting career and it paid off.

When you entered the bar , it was very noisy, a mix of people singing and other simply screeching , people cheering and others having animated conversations. Elvira was fast to find you guys a place to sit. She knew she had to move fast so Pedro wouldn’t have a good reason to convince them to leave and escape his worst nightmare. It wasn’t a secret that he didn’t like Karaoke, he didn’t want to sing and he didn’t want other people to butchered all of his favorite songs . He mimicked his best suffering expression when the girl on stage started to sing sweet home Alabama with her shrieking voice.

You guys were seated in a big white U shaped bench wrapped around an oval table , perfect to accommodate your little group. You were squished between Sarah and Pedro who were having a deep conversation about the last movie they saw together. You were not complaining , being with them was so much fun and you had to admit that being so close to Pedro was not bad either. Since you met him, you had a little crush on him. Nothing serious, nothing you would tell him about , it was just a fun little game to flirt with him. And oh boy was he a flirt. The little smiles he did when you spoke about your recent projects, the way his eyes just lingered on your mouth, his hands touching your skin every chance he get, followed with a cute wink when your eyes would meet his. It was nothing your brain said , but the butterflies in your stomach made you wonder which body part of yours was right.

Nobody really paid attention to the people who were on stage , a few times, when the performer was not as bad , the girls and you would cheer and sing along. You don’t know how many drinks you guys were in when Elvira came around the table to talked to Pedro.

- So , what are you going to sing tonight Pedrito? Pedro lost his smile and rolled his eyes.

Sarah laughed : I really don’t know if Elvira really loves karaoke or if she just like seeing Pedro suffer!

Pedro: She hates me! She hates that her husband calls me his girlfriend , she’s jealous and that’s her way to get her revenge.

Elvira: Oh please P , not everything is about you!

Pedro did his most exaggerated shocked face: Excuse me! ?

Elvira : All I want to do is sing a sexy duet with MY husband. (Emphasis on the MY) She winked at Pedro

Oscar was already putting their name on the list , there was still a few people before it would be their turn. On his way back he grabbed a few shots for all of you.

Pedro turned to help Oscar with the shooter glasses: -Your wife sings like an half dead cat , I will need multiples of these.

Elvira punched Pedro on the arm while you and Sarah giggled at their imaginary love triangle.

Sarah: y/n should sing! She will change your mind about karaoke Pedro. She sings like an angel!

You blushed.

Oscar teased his friend : you should sing his favorite song!

Pedro immediately interrupted him, making no signs with his head and both his arms : oh no! No, no, no, no, no. Do not touch Prince. NO!

Sarah: I know! You should sing Dreams! You have the perfect voice for that song. Anyway, you can’t sing any Pink Floyd songs , those are just for me , plus this bar is not the vibe for that.

- Wow Sarah , are you flirting with me ? I have the voice to cover Stevie ? Please , no.

Even if you wanted to protest the song choice , it was too late. Elvira literally jumped out of her seat and was already adding your name to the list. It’s not that you didn’t want to sing , you loved it , but now the pressure was on. What if they didn’t like how you sing it ? What if Pedro didn’t like it ? The moment you met him, you needed him to like you. Was that how you felt with all your past “little crush”? Once again, you were lost in your spinning mind.

Sarah brought you back to earth : - don’t worry , your voice is magical. She thought you were worried about your skills.

For the next hour, you mostly had to listen to bad singers , it was almost torture sometimes. Fortunately, the alcool was smoothly flowing , making it all more bearable. Even Pedro looked like he was having fun. Every time he laughed he immediately clung to the person who made the joke. Resting his head on their shoulder, reaching out to hold their arm or squeeze their tight just above the knee. You couldn’t help and match his energy, every single thing he said that made you laugh you touched his skin. His wrist, his bicep, his neck. You were too far into your gin tonic consumption to care what people would think of it, what he would think of it.

It was finally Oscar and Elvira’s turn to sing. They chose to sing the Dirty Dancing hit “time of my life”

Pedro was exasperated : damn they are so annoyingly cheesy.

That they were , but it was so adorable at the same time. Their love was radiating on stage. Elvira was indeed a bad singer , half dead cat would not be your choice of words, you were too polite for that. Oscar could hold a note , but he kept messing the lyrics of the song, they both laughed in their microphones when they missed a word. You and Sarah cheered for them like it was the most crucial sport event.

———-–—————————————————

Pedro was genuinely having fun. The running gag was that he hated karaoke, he did , but seeing his friends having fun was way more important to him than his hatred of bad singing. Elvira and Oscar were doing their thing on stage and he was impressed by their lack of self awareness. They massacred that poor song. He cheered for them anyways. They ended their performance by doing a little spinning dance move , it was disgusting how much they loved each other.

Pedro could hear you ask Sarah: Seriously Sarah , this kind of love really exists ? Or is it just for them?

Pedro felt a sting in his heart. He wondered why you didn’t believe it could exist? Wondered if someone hurt you in the past. He wasn’t really a big believer in love with a capital L himself , he didn’t really do relationships, but it wasn’t okay with him that you would have this kind of thoughts, that you would feel that way too. It felt unfair. Since he met you, he felt very protective of you. You were so sweet and kind.

Sarah : I think it exists , but theirs is definitely one of a kind.

Elvira was skipping her way to your table , still on her adrenaline high.

-We slayed it!!! Didn’t we ?

-Pedro pointed his right ear : Sorry , I can’t hear you , my ears are bleeding.

Elvira raised her two middle fingers at him and mouthed a very felt “fuck you P”.

Oscar came to his wife defense: you were perfect my love , I’m the one who forgot entire parts of the song. Pedro is just jealous that I didn’t slow dance with him on stage.

Pedro touched your shoulder : hey y/n ! I think it’s your turn. He watched you get up of your seat and walk towards the stage. You looked relaxed and confident. Maybe she really is a good singer he thought or maybe she’s just too tipsy to be bothered by any of this.

He followed your every step. He didn’t realize before that moment how little you were wearing tonight. Just a tiny lilac summer dress. Your legs, shoulders , cleavage , all exposed under the intense stage lights. Your dress was way too short for you to stand close to the edge of the stage. You were not that drunk, he saw you take a few steps back when you realized some creeps in the front were more than happy to look up your dress. You nodded to the host and the song began to play in the loud room.

Dreams was one of his favorite songs. He was a huge Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks fan. Normally, he would dread the moment you would open your mouth to sign his favorite lyrics , but right now he was just curious. He was hypnotized by the way you swayed your hips to the beat. Those few seconds at the beginning of the song felt like minutes to him. Right before you parted your lips to sing your first note you looked at him and winked. He felt everything squeeze inside of him, like his heart stopped. He held his breath , hoping he wouldn’t have to lie to you later and pretend he liked your voice. He felt the urge to cover his ears to avoid to deal with that possibility. But then he heard you.

🎶 Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom

His body instinctively relaxed , but he had to listen more , just to be sure.

🎶 Well, who am I to keep you down?

The noise in the bar significantly went down.

🎶 It’s only right that you should play the way you feel it. But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness.

- No fucking way ! That’s all Oscar could say looking at Sarah with a surprised expression in his face. Elvira was already clapping hard for you.

- Told you guys , an angel.

🎶 Like a heartbeat, drives you mad

That was his favorite lyric in the song , his jaw dropped slightly. Your voice was soft and smooth. It was definitely different from the original singer but it was beautiful. By the time your were at the chorus he was completely lost in your voice. Feeling the beat passing through the speakers and vibrating straight into his chest. The bar was quiet, everyone dropped their beer to drink at your words instead.

~Maybe he likes karaoke he thought , nooooooo, maybe he likes you. ~

It felt like he was gone for so long when you sang the last words.

🎶 Oh oh oh , you’ll know ….

The crowd went crazy when you finished. And then suddenly his feeling flipped and it felt like he didn’t really have time to enjoy your performance , it went by too fast.

——————————————————-

You smiled at your audience and did a little bow before exiting the stage. You were overwhelmed by the crowd’s reaction. You focused on your group of friends , walking back towards them with the biggest smile on your face. You did it , they liked it.

Elvira was the first one jumping in your arms , she was so excited.

-OMG Baby, you should sing for a living , that was amazing . I feel like I should pay you right now.

You laughed, she was exaggerating , but you were grateful for the compliment. Oscar was next, bowing before you.

- I surrender at your talent , queen of karaoke. El and I will give you our crowns.

Sarah sang proud and loud : I TOLD YOU GUYS!!!

Pedro looked at you with his big brown eyes and his bright smile and pulled you close to hug you. He whispered in your ear

- you almost made me cry.

You stayed in his arms for a while, he held you tight, his chin on your head.

The night slowly came to an end, the conversations began to be more sparse and you all agreed that it it was time to go back to your respective apartment. You went to bed feeling proud and feeling loved. You fell asleep trying to remember how it felt to have his arms wrapped around you.

———————————————————

Pedro was lying in his bed , thinking about the night , about how he felt. What he felt wasn’t new to him, but it was something he didn’t feel for a long time. He didn’t let himself feel that way, he never let himself be in situation that could lead him to feeling that way. When did he let his guard down? That squishing feeling inside his stomach, he could not shake it off. He could not be in love ? It was just silly… He could not be in love just because you had the sweetest singing voice he ever heard ? That’s just stupid. He knew it wasn’t just that. Your hips, your lips, your skin, your eyes , your laugh, your smile.

- Fuck.

Hinata wanted to put her restless night behind her, with its disturbing dreams of deep places devoid of light and air, and that presence clawing, grasping for her, gurgling unintelligible words from a waterlogged throat.

Coming to terms with her father's death had not been easy, and in many ways Hinata wasn't there yet, but imagining that he was at peace, in Toomo's embrace, had been a source of comfort.

The possibility that may not actually be true was too awful to contemplate.

To take her mind off it, and since it was nearly the weekend, Hinata accepted Miko's offer for an outing at the local karaoke bar.

A nice, chill, stress-free evening.

Akari Hiwatari had been sitting at the bar since early that afternoon, downing one glass after another. As the evening wore on, the famous artist's mood soured by the hour, to the point where the other patrons had started giving her a wide berth.

Chiyo Nagata wasn't sure if it was the attitude, or the alcohol fumes rising off her which were putting people off the most.

A: "Pour me 'nother one of those. Then leave the bottle."

Chiyo bit her lip.

C: "I'm not sure you should be drinking any more right now, Hiwatari-sensei. How about I get you a nice, big glass of water -"

A: "Spare me the bartenderly concern and just get me my drink!"

C: "I'm sorry, sensei, but I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who comes in here."

"Listen, I'm just trying to look out for you."

Pah! Sanctimonious little bitch - if this wasn't the only place to drink on this fucking island, I wouldn't have to put up with this bullshit!

Akari was very drunk, and angry enough to punch a wall.

[skhardwarevers1]

Okay I know I just went over this earlier and a did make a tutorial on TikTok but I feel like saying it here,

burning CDS is easy as FUCK

Or, a little explanation on how I make custom CDs

disclaimer: I use windows so if you use anything else I’m so sorry

I’ll add pictures to go along with this later!!!

things you absolutely NEED

a computer/laptop

(If said computer/laptop doesn’t have a built in disc drive) an external disc drive (there are pretty good ones for like 20-25 dollars!!)

CDs/DVDs obviously (either R or RW, the only difference is that you can rewrite RW CDs and DVDs)

also! DVDs obviously hold picture and video as well as audio, so do what you want with those

Technically step one

if you thrifted CDs like I did, or found really old ones in a box in your home somewhere, MAKE SURE THEY ARE EMPTY!!! If you want to keep the stuff on them, there’s an option to rip them in windows media player legacy (which is what I use to burn them as well)

then to erase it, open file explorer, click on the CD/DVD in your disc drive, click the three dots on the toolbar and select “Erase this disc” (this usually doesn’t take too long)

Actual Step One

if you want to make a mixtape, make a Spotify playlist of all the songs you want and copy the link to it (or any other platform, I just find it easier to make a Spotify playlist because I can download it), if you’re just doing an album then get the link of that album instead (make sure both of them can actually fit on the CD you have! Mine can hold like…74 minutes of music)

then use this handy little Spotify downloader to download a zip file of all the songs (sometimes it messes up and will exclude some, make sure to double check they’re all in there…if not you can download them individually too)

Step Two

in your files, open up the zip file of all the music, select them all, and copy them to music (there’s a whole section for it that media player uses, trust me you’ll see it)

then open windows media player legacy and double check it’s in there—usually it’s gathered by artist

step two and a half

Okay so most of the time I go to organize -> settings -> privacy -> and uncheck all the top boxes. You don’t have to, I just do that…idk why I just have.

Step Three (the easy part)

first make sure the CD is set as an audio CD (and also that it’s actually in the disc drive), and click the burn tab

drag all the songs you want on the CD into the burn list, and reorder them however you’d like! There are options to shuffle them and organize them specific ways if you’d like. Once you have everything all set you can click start burn and all you have to do is wait! It’ll eject once it’s done

Step 4 (optional)

If you have a jewel case, you can print or draw your own custom covers and backs!!!! You can also draw on CDs with a sharpie marker if you’d like. Just remember that slim cases have different sizing than standard cases. There’s also stickers for CDs that cover the fronts of them(? Or so I’ve been told…)

Step 5

make sure the CD actually works, try playing it on a different device if you can, and enjoy!!!

Step “what if I don’t have a CD player?”

well I’m gonna tell you you probably do and just don’t know it! do you have a DVD player laying around your house? That’s a CD player! do you have an old ass computer that would suck with burning the CDs itself but still has a disc drive an everything? That’s a CD Player!

do you have a shitty old karaoke machine? Chances are it has a spot for CDs! THATS A CD PLAYER!

Of course you can get a new one if none of these are functional devices for you or you just don’t have them, but I just wanted to point out that a lot of things can be used to play CDs

or you can help me bring back Walkmans and discmans….if you’re listening to music on the go…./silly

Also! Some cars have spots to play CDs in them!! Your CD doesn’t have to be limited to your home!!!

also also, I’m 70% sure that a lot of game consoles can play DVDs but not CDs. Saying thing incase the information is valuable for someone who wants to watch a good movie on DVD or something….
