BACK TO THE OLD HOUSE

— g.satoru

| sum: satorus never liked being home. he hates the word home and everything to do with it. so what are the chances that he meets a soft, warm girl who feels like the home he’s dreamt of having.

an: hi guys! this is my first ever post! wooooo!!! any tips and recommendations on how to look more aesthetically pleasing and writing would help great! i think this is what people call a one shot?? idk :( enjoy<3

finding himself at the dawn of the day, sweeping tides brushing against his ears as he walked barefoot in the chilly water of the ocean, finding himself bored as he had escaped the estate.

they weren’t living his life, as a teenage he should be careless and free, right? wrong. his elders thought otherwise and forced him to train to be the next heir to the family name, having a huge name in japan and a reputation to behold. it didn’t help how he was an only child with no cousins so they couldn’t take the position of heir because they were nonexistent. oh how he prayed to anyone everyday that he wishes that he could escape this heinous family, wondering what horrible thing he did in his past life to get set up with a family this bad.

strolling down the beach in only a white tee and shorts, airpods plugged into his ears and blasting ‘heaven knows im miserable now’ by the smiths. sand getting in between his toes while the water tried cleaning it away, his pearly white hair drooping down his forehead as he looked down.

i would rather not go

he simply mumbled along with the song, looking up and seeing the sunrise, seeing how long he’s been out for, wondering if his ‘family’ were already out looking for him.

back to the old house

“augh!” he slightly jumped as his chest had bumped into someone’s head, feeling the cold contact of their hair brushing against his thin t-shirt. groaning in slight pain but more of annoyance as he looked down. “hey look where you’re-“ and meeting the set of 2 wide eyes starring back at him, scared.

“ oh my gosh— im so sorry!” the person underneath him panicked, immediately taking some steps back and bowing in front of him. a girl, young and frail, big deer eyes and plump lips, slight freckles, long hair with and oversized jacket, t-shirt and pj pants. “o-oh it’s fine! it was my fault anyways..”

he slowly turned shy as she raised herself from bowing before him. noticing the glasses on his face even though it was sunrise and the sun was barely out. “sunglasses? this early?” she questioned confused and innocently, tilting her head as he looked in between his eyes.

“fashion statement.” he cracked a joke, expecting a slight chuckle out of her, but instead he got a high pitched giggle, that eventually turned into a laughter burst. putting her hand on her stomach as she bent her back over in laughter. satoru was confused, was the joke that funny? no he was just a funny guy. “oh you’re so funny!” the girl slowed her laughter down, wiping the small tears that ran down her face.

“im (name)! nice to meet you!” she smiled softly as she extended a hand out for a shake. satoru chuckling at her bubbly personality as he took her hand and bent down, bringing her hand to his pink cold lips as he planted soft kisses on her hand. “satoru. glad to meet you.” now satoru was certain that she would start blushing into a total mess, but instead she giggled at him and questioned his gesture. "youre so old!" she laughed as she put her hand back to her side.

satoru looked at her in disbelief, like he was actually insulted. “what?! im only 17!” he pouted, lips turning into a frown as he crossed his arms and looked to the side, seeing that the sun was almost fully up. hearing her coo from right beside him. “17?! no way! you look at least 22! im 17 too” she said surprised as she covered her mouth with her hands. satorus neck quickly turning to her at her comment, with a stunned expression, did she just call him old?

there’s too many memories

he looks offended by her comment, scoffing as he rolls his eyes playfully under his sunglasses. “thanks sweet heart but im not. got a mouth on ya.” chuckling, her pupil only grow larger with every word that comes out of his mouth, mesmerized by his face, laughter, personality, smile— just everything in general had her on a tight rope.

“well, what are you doing out so early?” he ponders, even though it’s none of his business nor that he should care, but he does, he does care because there’s something about her that’s just so… warm.

“shouldn’t i be asking you that as well?” she giggles, bringing her hand to cover her smile. “im joking, i just needed time away from my boyfriend….. a lot of time. being a real-“ stopping her sentence midway as she looks around her, scouting her surroundings. “asshole..” she mumbles the last part out, afraid that her boyfriend would be nearby looking for her. satoru can’t help but laugh. painfully laughing and happily laughing, she has a boyfriend and she was funny.

“needed my personal time.” he looks to the ocean, seeing the full risen sun as she panics in place. “o-oh! im so sorry for disturbing you then! i-ill get going..!” she quickly spits out, words confusing satoru, she wasn’t being a bother? he knew he couldn’t stop her, her boyfriend was probably looking for her by now, but he wanted her so bad, to be friends with.

“wait! could i get your number? n-no not like that! to be friends.” embarrassed by the thought, he clarifies himself before anything else could be said. she smiles briefly before pulling her phone out and handing it to satoru, who gladly puts email, phone number, birthday, and a contact photo and name. handing back the phone to her, watching her lips curl into a cute

and you never knew

“well, I’ll see you soon, satoru.” she says her goodbyes before quickly running off back to the parking lot, watching her hop onto her pink bike and ride away. he smiled as she turned her head around and waved back to satoru, waving back to her.

there was something so alluring about her, she was so… interesting. maybe it was the way she smelled, her voice? personality? face? he doesn’t know. wether it was one of those, he wanted to grow closer to her and build a bond. maybe even be her boyfriend— no that was a stretch, she already had one, but he seemed like a total dick with the tiny bit of information she told. loving how it didn’t bother her to keep smiling through, he craved that as a person. yes, he could smile too, but it wouldn’t be a genuine smile like hers, no hers was real, it felt real. she felt like something he’s craved for a long time, home.

how much i really liked you.

[flickerenemyhouse]

your current opinions on each other? (favorite person and least favorite if you want lol)

also i love the blog theme omg

(AUGH TY ABOUT THE THEME :3)

for the sake of me not having to write something repeatedly, their least favs are their enemies ofc. So here’s their favs and other opinions.

Rosalie: My favorite person is either John or Kim-ly. Hah. Thiago: :( Rosalie: you’re a close third. Thiago: well… my favorite person here is John. I dunno about the rest of you guys. John: oh. I.. uh.. okay. Vinny: you guys are boring as hell. Personally? John is either a dick or a little bitch and should pick a lane and stick with it. Rosalie is such a melodramatic mess and always acts like she’s the morally superior one. Thiago pretends we all don’t know what he did and it’s embarrassing really. Alab: oh I like this one. Viola: *entering the room* Didn’t you used to bully John in high school? As well as other people just because you weren’t poor? Vinny: Yeah and I actually apologized and changed. You still have yet to apologize. You’ve done worse, Vi. Viola: Nothing you can prove. Kim-ly: I AM LITERALLY THE PROOF. Nikolai: *looking up from his phone* yeahhh get fucked, vi. Viola: Okay, I’ve known you the longest and I KNOW you are in no place to talk. Nikolai: actually I am in a place to talk. We’ve been given a question. Anyway, this is why Kim-ly is my favorite person and not Miss Italia over here. Kim-ly: Yay :D Viola: I’M LITERALLY YOUR COUSIN. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO “THE BLOOD IS THICKER THAN THE WATER” Nikolai: you know the full quote. Viola: ugh. But anyway I hate everyone here. Alab is the most tolerable though. Alab: cool. Alab: anyway I don’t wanna be here but I think Vinny is my favorite person here. When you’re all loud, it’s for no reason. He makes sense.

Rosalie: Bad take. Alab: You sometimes as well I guess. Rosalie: revoking my statement as we speak.

-I love that Ramona’s sexuality is not explored within the range of “LESBIANS???? HOT GIRL ON GIRL ACTION????? AWOOGA!” but more in relation to her flawed relationships and making amends with someone she hurt

-I love that Ramona’s sexuality remains ambiguous and kind of unclear when it would have been really easy to make a one-or-another statement or say that it was just a phase. Maybe she’s still figuring it out, or maybe she just doesn’t want to share!

-also the queer content that needed some modernizing got some modernizing. Not sanitizing, just modernizing. Respect.

-I enjoy that the flaws of Scott and Ramona are played off of each other through their alternate future selves and how it kind of says that they can make it work, they just both have to put in the effort and give each other space

-I fucking love what a horny little gremlin Roxy is 10/10

-I hate how the entire first episode was a shot for shot of the first volume because it really got my hopes up for a straight adaptation, but the point of the show is that another straight adaptation would just lead to recreating the same problems present in the original, and the original still exists, so like. Fair play. (Also look back at the trailers. It’s all from the first episode ;) )

-oh my god the soundtrack I’m never gonna stop listening to Knives & Kim

-really the whole presentation is incredible every step of the way. The animation is near flawless, the character design and world design are both immaculate, the section with Ramona dying her hair every morning is just :D

-I don’t love the sparks. Felt a little restrictive tbh

-I fucking love how Scott is the one to turn down sleeping with Ramona. I don’t remember if that’s how it happens in the original but I still enjoy it. And also that it’s Ramona who is put in the position of respecting his boundaries.

-Micheal Cera’s portrayal of Scott as a cross between the awkwardness of his movie portrayal and the confidence of his comic portrayal really really felt good.

-Wallace turns Todd bisexual and they bang for HOURS. Nuff said.

-I’m gonna be thinking about the Kim/Roxy kiss for the rest of my god damn life. augh

-all in all the show does what I hoped it would do, which is tell the story of Scott Pilgrim while modernizing some aspects, but Scott Pilgrim is a flawed story. It kind of feels like the only way to structurally improve the story is to give Ramona the focus and put more effort into creating emotional reconciliation with the exes rather than beating them all up, and the show does both of these things! By placing Ramona as the active protagonist rather than support and a prize for Scott, she kind of becomes more of a person and it feels more believable that they would end up working out.

(Sub point: I think that “old Scott” is a manifestation of and commentary on the movie Scott because his “character development” was extremely rushed and he never really had to learn anything about himself or Ramona, just beat a bunch of attractive people up. I think that the Scott and Ramona from the comics work out both because the timeline of their story was over months, not days, and a necessary part of their happy ending was working with and gaining a better understanding of each other’s flaws. In any timeline they’d have issues because they’re not perfect, but I think that comic S/R have a much better shot of longer-lasting happiness. This is not to dismiss the textual or structural flaws of the story, which are present, but to say that the comic still works for me in a way the movie, which I enjoy immensely and will probably rewatch a maximum of 72 hours after writing this, simply does not.)

Scott pilgrim takes off spoilers

-I like that Kim is still vaguely bisexual

-I like that Kim has some nice moments with knives bc that song goes hard

-I like that Kim experiments with who she’s into by making out with someone SOBER and HER OWN AGE
