#awww so considerate that's genuinely so sweet

[my-fancy-hat]

mithrun literally pulled the "bro your taste is awfull we should kill him"😭😭😭

[oblivionsdream]

Hiii so you’ve kind of given me Knight/Jesper brain rot & I wanted to share a thought… forgive me if I’ve mischaracterized your little guys.

So like the knight would super chivalric right & I feel like once he realized his feelings for the jester he would want to go out of his way to be super romantic & considerate. Like picking shitty flowers and awkwardly presenting the jester with them? Waking up early/staying up late to walk the jester home at night so he wouldn’t be alone? Tucking the jester into bed when he drank too much and fell asleep somewhere strange? And the jester would probably not be used to that kind of thing & obviously is also already down bad for the knight so he would eventually snap because the knight is being too weirdly nice & be like ‘you don’t need to do all this, I already like you.’ And the knight would be like… brain lag for a moment, and then like ‘No. I do need to.’ And start being even more romantic and chivalric because he realizes the jester isn’t used to being taken care of. So the jester is just flustered 24/7.

(Thank you for making these characters I’m obsessed with them 😭)

Awww!! I'm so glad you like them!!

And yeah thats pretty much what would happen! The knight would want to court him properly but has no idea how to handle romance because he's had no interest or practice until now so he's just completely awkward about it. The jester has no problem being flirty and teasing usually but the moment he has someone actually being genuinely sweet and romantic it becomes the jesters turn to be the flustered mess. They're both just disasters in their own ways.

(You are so welcome!! I still can't get over the fact that people like my silly guys 😆)

Amnesia: Later Part 4 - Kent Route

I'm glad Kent addressed that it feels inappropriate to take the heroine randomly on an overnight drive haha, I would be very worried as her mother! I 100% trust Kent though. I love how well Ikki understands Kent that he can help the heroine decipher him haha. So cute how he told the heroine that Kent was really happy that she chose to sit next to him in the car. I know Kent only left for like 10 minutes but omg if I was left in a forest by myself in the dark, two minutes is already too much lol. I'm glad he understood how worried she was and apologised. They were cute though after he said he won't leave her again haha. Aww Kent was so excited to meet the heroine, he woke up earlier than usual and went to their meeting spot super early because he couldn't wait to see her, that's so adorable hahaha! I was about to say I can't imagine Kent wasting time though so I'm glad to know he was doing something productive like looking through his presentation he's going to be giving soon hahaha. It's always so nice to see the parents so accepting of the heroine. It's kinda funny to think that Kent is incompetent with household chores haha. It was quite endearing to see him work so hard changing a futon cover, he really tries his best in everything and that's nice.

Honestly it should be expected, but I guess considering how Kent lacks common sense, it was sweet of him to go pick up the heroine and carry the ingredients back with her to learn how to make nikujaga. Their innocent relationship is honestly so adorable but seriously!? Can their second kiss not be interrupted?! I love how because they were both embarrassed so they agreed to both close their eyes at the same time and kiss hahaha. I swear their second kiss better be perfect if it keeps getting interrupted! It's so sweet how Kent told her he asked her to come over because he just wanted to see her and that he didn't have a particular reason haha, him blushing is key, how could you get mad at that even if he's busy?! Anyway, Kent working hard looks hot anyway, I could stare at him all day🤣 Omggg, Kent blushing and smiling at the thought of spending time with the heroine in the house and thinking this is what married life every day would be like is so adorableee! I'm glad Kent knows to apologise when he's too harsh, the fact that he recognises he's been harsh and understands her feelings is great improvement! I forgot that if Kent moves to London, he won't have Ikki around to do his puzzles with, that's so sad, I love watching their silly shenanigans! It was so funny to see Sawa and Mine try their best to hide from Kent so he won't find out about the heroine preparing for his birthday haha. It's so nice that the heroine has such reliable and fun girl friends. Seeing Kent so genuinely happy that the heroine put so much effort into it this whole week was sweet, definitely worth it! It was so him when he nonchalantly remembered that it was actually his birthday haha. Awww it's so sweet how Kent has actually been practising baking this whole time and baked a cake for the heroine! It really is the perfect occasion hahaha. Lmao at the heroine reading out Kent's ideas on how to propose hahaha. It was nice to see how cute they are in London.

Overall, Kent's route was nice but kinda boring. I guess it's because it's all about them just spending time with each other, which was nice and cute but I wanted something more. It just felt kinda bland that they did everything that is "natural" after dating I guess haha. But considering it's Kent, it's a pretty big deal haha, especially with the learning how to cook, being more considerate of others and just overall trying his best to be romantic, Kent definitely tries the hardest to do the simplest couple things haha but that's cute in its own way. Basically, if you want to see the two of them prepare for living together in London in a shy and innocent way then yeah it's a great continuation of their story, but I honestly wanted moreee, still good though!

[inkblackorchid]

Hiiii, I just wanted to let you know that I’m writing my own Aki-centric AU and I find your dedication toward writing so many stories about her to be very inspiring! Unfortunately I decided I had to wait to read your stuff until I’m done with mine, because I didn’t want to accidentally yank ideas from it. :(

Well hello! And thank you, that’s very sweet. I love Aki very much and the story ideas I had for her kinda ended up snowballing, haha. So I just kinda buckled down and decided to see the whole journey through.

I’m happy to hear you’re also intending to give Aki some attention, though! In my opinion, she deserves all the spotlight she can get. And awww, I’m lowkey sorry to hear that? Like, don’t get me wrong, I’m flattered that you want to read my stuff first, but I’d never want to inhibit a fellow fanfic author in their storytelling. And I really wouldn’t want to act like I’ve got a monopoly on Aki-centric stories—in fact, I’m pretty sure there are things about my stories that might not work for every Aki fan, either. Like I know that not everyone’s into faithshipping the way I am, and that having that mixed in with Aki’s character development might not be everyone’s cup of tea, or that not everyone might enjoy the worldbuilding I’ve added to the Arcadia Movement. So I’m absolutely all for people adding their own takes and writing whatever character progression they might wish Aki had had. I wouldn’t even mind people giving their own takes on ideas I’ve already used—granted, I’d appreciate if someone asked if they planned to lift an idea 1:1 from one of my stories first. But at the end of the day, we’re all here to have fun and get creative. It’s genuinely very considerate that you’re mindful enough not to want to copy my ideas, but please, no need to drive yourself crazy about it. I hope you have a lot of fun writing your own Aki fic (or fics). And at worst, if you ever did notice anything to be super similar, it wouldn’t take more than shooting me a message about it to clear it up and likely get the thumbs up to just write the same idea in your own way anyway.

If you really intend to wait, then, if it’s any consolation, I can tell you that there are, including my current WIP, only two “major” fics in my Aki arc left. (As in, fics that use original ideas and add my own elements to canon that weren’t there before; I do have more Aki story ideas than that, but the rest would either be slight rewrites of canon duels or just small things placed in entirely different spots on the timeline to fill in gaps.)

At any rate, I wish you the best of luck! (And I’m glad if you like my writing, thank you!)

[notyuta]

i think, sometimes, when talking/criticizing the idol-fans parasocial relationship, it's a bit too simplistic and easy to only criticize the fans side

[thedietelf]

based on what I know, you're genuinely a good and kind person who tries really hard for the people you care about. So I'd pick marry if it wouldnt fuck up governmental benefits and such.... cuz chronic ill folk have to consider that ish.

AWWW CONSIDERATE AND SWEET, WHAT BLESS U ANON

[angelhummel]

unpopular opinion: I have trouble seeing brittana as a serious longterm relationship

they just feed into each others delusions and worst behaviours because they won't ever call each other out on their shit

like when brittany goes against what kurt wants for his campaign posters, instead of giving brittany a reality check Santana says something like 'omg Kurt's 100% the wrong one here for not seeing how smart u are xx'

then their fans will be like 'wow Santana's the only one who sees how truly big brain brittany actually is, the definition of a healthy unproblematic couple’

if finn said to rachel ‘ur right rachel, sending sunshine to a crackhouse was the best thing for the team, ur such a consideration person’ i don’t think people would have a problem seeing why that’s just a couple feeding into bad behaviours but uwu sapphic cheerleaders <3

that might be an extreme example but when you look at how santana won’t get mad at brittany for releasing a their sex tape it just comes across as santana wants to coddle brittany and treat her like a child rather than an equal,

and then when brittany is still saying that santana is actually nice person underneath after being straight up told how santana is just taking advantage of her, it doesn’t seem like Brittany has any genuine reason for thinking that Santana is nice and is in fact just too dumb to understand why Santana isn’t nice

they were a surface level couple being all 'uwu we love each other so much, scissoring lol xx' but have no substance, they just don't act like people in a serious relationship would

sorry this is a bit long and really salty, i’ve just held onto this frustration about the whole ‘Santana is the only one who sees how smart Brittany is and Brittany is the only one who sees how nice Santana is’ ‘they’re the most realistic glee couple’ ‘they carried the show’ thing that in recent times has popped up more and more especially with the glee fandom on tiktok

to each their own but for the life of me i just don’t understand it

I literally don’t have anything to add. That’s pretty much every major complaint I have with them. And summed up better than I’ve ever said it so thank you lol

Santana will be racist, ableist, fatphobic, antisemitic, even homophobic and lowkey transphobic with some of the shit she says about Kurt and Rachel and then Brittany will be like “she’s actually a good person” and shippers are like “awww Brittany’s the only one that sees Santana for who she really is uwu they’re perfect!” 

and Brittany will ruin Kurt’s campaign, cheat on her partner, release Santana’s sex tape without her permission, try to out Santana multiple times, go behind Santana’s back to talk to her abuela when Santana has clearly stated she doesn’t want that, and also just be rude at best, racist and bigoted at worst whenever she opens her mouth to talk to someone never mind the actual insane shit like accusing a teacher of sexual assault or beating another student with an umbrella. And Santana will be like *literal crickets* and the fandom is like “omggg Santana loves her girl! she’s so whipped! she knows brittany is a genius!” 

and omg i know i always clown on people who spin klaine as abusive and come up with ridiculous shit but brittana?? like brittany gets so much fucking worse without santana and still acts like just as shitty a person as ever. meanwhile santana’s glowing up in ny working and going to school and making career moves and actually kind of being a decent person. and then the second she’s back with brittany, brittany is whispering a few sweet words to her and telling her to ditch her real life, dragging her off on a fucking vacation. and then in s6 they’re meaner than ever! it’s disgusting and i hate it :)

[normal-thoughts-official]

Its the way so many people still think that clace was the 'main' couple on the show and they were what kept people coming back🤡

And btw...I LOVE YOU😖

awww ur so sweet udbdidndudn i love u too ❤️

u know, salt and shade aside, i was actually thinking about this the other day, like... malec genuinely was not only what made shadowhunters but what i think will leave its mark on pop culture? at the very least i think it'll shape fandom culture in some way

like, don't get me wrong, i don't think sh was an artistic masterpiece or anything, everyone who follows me knows i have sooooo much criticism for this show rudndidn but bbc sherlock and supernatural were way worse and still shaped fandom culture, you know? pop culture isn't necessarily shaped and influenced by high quality stuff, just impactful stuff, and i think malec definitely applies

idk if it will have an impact on pop culture in general but if it does i think it will be the malec first kiss scene. like, i find it pretty impressive that 5 years afterwards we still remember and celebrate the anniversary of that episode on a considerable scale. ive never seen that before. im not completely sure it will have a lasting impact outside of the fandom a la "luke i am your father" or other iconic scenes lmao but i think it's somewhat possible

and at this point i think it's undeniable that malec/sh will have some kind of impact on fandom culture. it's still in the top 10 most written ships on ao3 two years after the show was cancelled. the fandom is not only still active, but still growing. i get new followers and asks every day; i see new blogs popping up frequently, including blogs dedicated exclusively to sh even though, again, the show has been over for two years. there are new content creators (gifmakers in particular) joining all the time. it's a big fandom and it has influence and i think it will be lasting. and that's all very clearly due to malec

this is not an in depth analysis or anything, i know very little about trend setting and the like, so i might be wrong, but i do have the impression sh has left/is leaving its mark on pop/fandom culture, and it's definitely thanks to malec. idk, i just find it interesting

mmm personality test sorting time !!

i’ve done one character a day for a while & now they’re all done, so: fun sorts for my characters alphabetically under the cut.

i took the 16 personalities test for the mbti, the eclectic energies test for the enneagram, for hogwarts house I was going to originally just choose based on instinct but i did end up using this knockoff pottermore test, and then I did the open psychometrics “which character are you statistically most like” quiz for the last one. 

henry strauss-- 

mbti: INFP (the mediator) -- “Mediators may feel directionless or stuck unless they connect with a sense of purpose for their lives. For many Mediators, this purpose has something to do with helping and uplifting others. Empathetic by nature, these personalities may feel other people’s suffering as if it were their own“ lmfao oh henry

enneagram: oh he’s a type 4 for sure. I agree with that 200%. -- “Fours are emotionally complex and highly sensitive. They long to be understood and appreciated for their authentic selves, but easily feel misunderstood and unappreciated.”

hogwarts house: 42% hufflepuff (then in order: ravenclaw, gryffindor, slytherin)

which other characters are you most like: 

#1: charlie from perks of being a wallflower (OUCH!!)

#2: wes gibbons from htgawm

#3: jonathan byers from stranger things

holland vosijk--

mbti: ISTJ (the logistician)-- “Logisticians have sharp, fact-based minds, and prefer autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something. Dependency on others is often seen by Logisticians as a weakness, and their passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity forbid falling into such a trap.” this is so funny to me. it’s very true. 

enneagram: type 8-- “People of this personality type are essentially unwilling to be controlled, either by others or by their circumstances; they fully intend to be masters of their fate... Eights have a hard time lowering their defenses in intimate relationships. Intimacy involves emotional vulnerability and such vulnerability is one of the Eight's deepest fears” legit

hogwarts house: 40% slytherin (then in order: ravenclaw, gryffindor, hufflepuff)-- this actually surprises me because I would have guessed ravenclaw instead. 

what other characters are you most like: 

#1: carolyn martens from killing eve (i didn’t know who this was but apparently she’s “principled yet ruthless” and that tracks)

#2: severus snape from harry potter

#3: mr. darcy from pride and prejudice (lmfao)

kaz brekker--

mbti: ESTJ (the executive)-- I don’t know that this is accurate because the whole first paragraph of the description is about how executives understand right/wrong and embrace honesty and tradition BUT later in the description some of it aligns: “Executives don’t work alone, and they expect their reliability and work ethic to be reciprocated – people with this personality type meet their promises, and if partners or subordinates jeopardize them through incompetence or laziness, or worse still, dishonesty, they do not hesitate to show their wrath. This can earn them a reputation for inflexibility.”

enneagram: type 3-- “They are frequently hard working, competitive and are highly focused in the pursuit of their goals... They are often self-made and usually find some area in which they can excel... They know how to present themselves, are self-confident, practical, and driven... They are good networkers who know how to rise through the ranks.” THAT’S accurate. 

hogwarts house: almost the same as holland, which is unsurprising-- 37% slytherin, then 30% ravenclaw with gryffindor and hufflepuff trailing far behind. 

what other characters are you most like:

#1: amy dunne from gone girl (lmfaoooooo)

#2: walter white from breaking bad

#3: vicious from cowboy bepop

martin blackwood--

mbti: INFJ (the advocate)-- “Advocates generally strive to do what’s right – and they want to help create a world where others do the right thing as well... Advocates may be reserved, but they communicate in a way that is warm and sensitive... Advocates might find themselves feeling especially stressed in the face of conflict and criticism. These personalities tend to act with the best of intentions, and it can frustrate them when others don’t appreciate this.” awww that’s sweet I do like that for him.

enneagram: type 2, with 6 being a close second. I definitely called that. “People of this personality type essentially feel that they are worthy insofar as they are helpful to others... Twos are warm, emotional people who care a great deal about their personal relationships, devote an enormous amount of energy to them, and who expect to be appreciated for their efforts.”

hogwarts house: 39% hufflepuff, and then the others are all fundamentally tied around 20-21% each. I’d agree with that. 

what other characters are you most like:

#1: landry clarke from friday night lights (initially i was like-- a football player? what? but then his wiki description is: “generally polite, awkward, and enjoys playing guitar” so lol ok)

#2: cameron james from 10 things i hate about you

#3: peeta mellark from the hunger games

melanie king--

mbti: ESTP (the entrepreneur)-- “Entrepreneurs keep their conversation energetic, with a good dose of intelligence, but they like to talk about what is – or better yet, to just go out and do it. Entrepreneurs leap before they look, fixing their mistakes as they go, rather than sitting idle, preparing contingencies and escape clauses.”

enneagram: like holland, she’s for sure a type 8: “Eights are strong willed, decisive, practical, tough minded and energetic.” I think the aggressive aspect of type eights is more obvious in her personality than his, though.

hogwarts house: 47% gryffindor! then, in order: slytherin, ravenclaw, hufflepuff. 

what other characters are you most like:

#1: erica sinclair from stranger things

#2: max mayfield from stranger things

#3: lois lane from smallville (yessss)

orpheus--

mbti: INFP (the mediator)-- I was actually surprised he got introverted instead of extroverted, but here we are. “Mediators’ creativity and idealism can bloom even after the darkest of seasons. Although they know the world will never be perfect, Mediators still care about making it better however they can. This quiet belief in doing the right thing may explain why these personalities so often inspire compassion, kindness, and beauty wherever they go.”

enneagram: oh, yep, he’s a type 9-- “People of this personality type essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal... Nines tend to adopt an optimistic approach to life; they are, for the most part, trusting people who see the best in others; they frequently have a deep seated faith that things will somehow work out.”

hogwarts house: my sweet son is 43% hufflepuff, then gryffindor, ravenclaw, and essentially no slytherin.

what other characters are you most like:

#1: flounder from the little mermaid (ok that’s sort of rude)

#2: snow white from snow white

#3: dorothy gale from the wizard of oz (that tracks)

patroclus--

mbti: INFJ (the advocate)-- so, same as martin. “Advocates can speak with great passion and conviction, especially when standing up for their ideals. At other times, however, they may choose to be soft-spoken and understated, preferring to keep the peace rather than challenge others.” i love him sm.

enneagram: he’s a type 2, also like martin, the helper type. this half-surprises me because i thought there was maybe a chance he’d be a type 6. 

hogwarts house: it’s actually really close between hufflepuff and gryffindor? 31% and 32% respectively. then slytherin, then ravenclaw. 

what other characters are you most like:

#1: eliza hamilton from hamilton

#2: glenn rhee from the walking dead

#3: ben hargreeves from the umbrella academy

wei wuxian--

mbti: ENFP (the campaigner)-- “Campaigners, like all their Diplomat cousins, are shaped by their Intuitive (N) quality, allowing them to read between the lines with curiosity and energy... Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd.”

enneagram: he’s my only type 7. “They tend to be extroverted, multi-talented, creative and open minded... They often have an entrepreneurial spirit and are able to convey their enthusiasm to those with whom they come in contact. When they are able to focus their talents, they are often highly successful. Focusing does not always come easily for Sevens, however.”

hogwarts house: this test says he’s 29% slytherin, 27% gryffindor, 23% hufflepuff, and 21% ravenclaw. 

what other characters are you most like:

#1: george weasley from harry potter (oh that’s genuinely really good)

#2: abby sciuto from ncis (that’s actually perfect too from what i know about ncis)

#3: nymphadora tonks from harry potter

yuri plisetsky--

mbti: ISTJ (the logistician), same as holland-- “Logistician personalities are no-nonsense, and when they’ve made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and take action... To Logisticians, honesty is far more important than emotional considerations.”

enneagram: he’s type 3-- “People of this personality type need to be validated in order to feel worthy; they pursue success and want to be admired... When unhealthy, their narcissism takes an ugly turn and they can become cold blooded and ruthless in the pursuit of their goals.” lol

hogwarts house: 31% slytherin and 27% ravenclaw, then gryffindor and hufflepuff in last. 

what other characters are you most like:

#1: cordelia chase from buffy the vampire slayer (once again, hilarious)

#2: amy march from little women

#3: tahani al-jamil from the good place

Stitches ch6: Bruises

Today was a huge day. It was the day that you went in for your first session with Dr. Hendrix. After careful consideration, and the help of Shawn’s notes, you decided she was the one for you. You were pretty nervous, but you knew afterwards, you’d feel so much better.

Having only spoken to her on the phone, she seemed extremely sweet and youthful. And when she walked out and called for you, she was almost exactly like you pictured. She was very young, her naturally red hair chopped in a cute pixie cut, and her smile was completely genuine.

“So..” She started as you settled into the plush grey couch “Why don’t you start by telling be what your goals are with your treatment.”

You took a deep breath before answering. “Well, recently I found out that my sexually and mentally abusive ex boyfriend attends campus. And that’s a huge trigger for me, but also I have a new boyfriend now, and I want to be comfortable again. So I guess my overall goal is to be able to actually invest myself into this relationship and not be so scared. While still working on feeling safe around my ex.”

As you spoke, Dr. Hendrix, or Jess as she told you to call her, wrote notes into a notebook. “Well first off, I think it’s very brave of you to come forth and want to take control of this. I know you mentioned some recent panic attacks.” You nodded, telling her about everything, and ypur past experience.

You spent the next 45 minutes talking about ways to cope and how important communication is in your relationship with Shawn. Already, you were feeling a lot better just getting your feelings off your chest and talking about Shawn in a safe environment. Sure you had Emily, but here you could get tips on how to better yourself and your relationship.

“Well, it’s safe to say that we should see each other every week. But as long as you practice the things we talked about today and will discuss in future sessions, you should be perfectly fine in a few months.” You stood up, giving her a smile and a wave. “Oh, and dear, Shawn knows what he’s doing in terms of taking care of you. He asked me about ways to act around you. So just know that you’re loved.” And with that you walked out of the building, feeling a lot more at ease.

Turning the corner to make your way to Prof Comm., you saw your favorite head of curls standing against the front of the building. His back was to you as he talked to some guys from the dorm. Jay, one of the few guys you remember from that first night, saw you, so you put your finger to you lips as a silent plea for him to pretend he didn’t. Smiling up at Shawn, you wrapped your arms around his waist, pressing an open mouthed kiss to his clothed back, biting down gently.

“Awww Brian, come on. You know that’s not for the public.” He said, knowing full and well it was you. You laughed, swatting his stomach before he turned to look at you, a small bouquet of sunflowers in his hands. “For you, my love.” He smiled, handing you the parchment paper wrapped flowers.

“Oh Shawn, these are beautiful. Thank you! What are they for?” With a kiss to your head he simply said “happy Thursday.” Before turning back to say his goodbye to the guys so you could make your way to class.

You took your usual places in the lecture hall, setting your flowers on the desk. “So, how did things go this morning?” Shawn asked, writing down the notes on the board.

“Good. I’m gonna see her every week until I’m comfortable enough to end the sessions. But I know that she’s a good match.” Before you could say anything else, Mrs. Moultry turned down the lights.

“Okay guys, today we are going to watch a TedTalk video. You can take notes, if you think it’s interesting, but it’s not a grade or anything. I just decided you should all see this. When the video is over, you’re all free to go for the day. But don’t forget your journals are due on Tuesday!” And with that she started the video, walking around and plopping into her chair.

“Pssst.” You heard from behind you, but you ignored it, resting your head on Shawn’s bicep and listeingint to the presenter talk. “Psssst.” You heard it again, this time accompanied by a straw wrapper being blown at the back of your head. Groaning, you turned around expecting to see one of the freshmen that gawked over Shawn, or Katy asking about the notes from accounting because she missed it yesterday since she wasn’t feeling well.

However, you lost your breath when sitting right behind you was Josh, that stupid red hoodie he cherished so much wrapped around his shoulders. “Can I talk to you?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

You scoffed “Um. No. What the fuck would I wanna talk to you for?” Your forehead in a not so cute crease.

“Because I just wanna talk. After class?” He asked, looking at you with that same puppy face he used to get you to do things you didn’t want to do.

You rolled your eyes. “I have nothing to say to you. Go back your hooligans.”

That’s when Shawn turned around, his hand instantly gripping your thigh in a comforting manner. “Babe, you okay?” He whispered, and you you nodded.

“Jack off back there wants to talk after class. I’m not interested.” Shawn nodded, rubbing his thumb along your thigh and pressing a kiss to your temple.

Mumbling against your skin he suggested. “If you want, I’ll talk to him and see what he wants.” You nodded, turning back to Josh. “We will talk.” You said motioning to Shawn.

“Fine.” he barked, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair.

---

Standing outside the academics building you could feel your heartbeat racing, ringing in your ears. “Shawn, I can't do this. I- I don’t know..” you were cut off when he kissed you softly. “We can leave. You don’t have to talk to him. Just go back to the dorm and I’ll see what he wants and maybe rough him up a little bit and come right back to you.” You giggled, suddenly calm. “Can you talk, and I just stand here?” you asked, dreading what he was going to say.

“Yes, we can do that. And after, how about we go lay out by the pool at the dorm. I’m a little pale and the sun is out.” Nodding, you took his arm, flowers in your free hand, and watched as Josh walked up to you. “What do you want?” Shawn asked, instantly taking a protective stance.

“Well, I was gonna ask my ex girlfriend something but instead, I’ll just ask you.” He said, eyes boring into your soul, causing you to shiver. “So, hot shot doctor-to-be, have you successfully done a full anatomy check? Make sure your goods aren’t damaged? Ya know, just wanna know I’m still the only one that’s made that ass mine.”

You dropped to the ground, your whole body giving out. You thought Shawn would catch you, but he was too occupied to help you up. You watched as he ran towards Josh, his fist colliding loudly with his nose. You flinched at each hit, your palms and knees stinging from their collision with the pebbled concrete, but you forced yourself up.

“Shawn. Shawn baby it’s not worth it. He’s not worth it. Please!” You yelled, reaching for his arm. The second your fingertips touched him he stopped, his face pale at the realization of what just happened.

He was quick to pull you away, looking at your now bleeding scrapes. “Fuck. Baby I... I’ve never- are you okay?” He stammered, inspecting your bleeding knees and hands.

“We can clean me up later. Let’s go. I knew this was a bad idea.” Your voice shaking as you spoke, Josh’s words ringing in your ears.

Before you could walk off, Shawn turned around, “She was never yours.” He spat before picking you up, placing your flowers in your lap and carrying you back to his room.

“I’ve never. Ever. Been violent in my entire life, I am I so fucking sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you baby.” He looked down, defeated. Honestly you felt terrible for what happened.

You just shook your head. “That’s not what scared me. It was what he said that got to me. Let me see your hand.” You stated, holding your hand palm up for him to place his own hand in. He rested his bruising and swelling hand on your fingers, being mindful of the scraps you had yet to clean off.

You leaned forward, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “You didn’t scare me, okay?” Your voice soft as you curled up in his lap, an ace bandage in your hand. “Now I’m not medically inclined, so you’ve gotta teach me how to do this properly.” You said, wrapping his hand gently.

As you did, Shawn leaned his head on your shoulder, his cheek squished agaisnt your skin as he watched. “You’re doing perfect babe.”

When you finished, you kissed his hand. “For extra healing.” He smiled, flexing his fingers and grabbing the first aid kit next to you.

“Okay, now it’s your turn.” He smiled, pulling the bandages from first aid kit into your lap. “So, cleaning them is gonna sting for a second. But after that I’ll get you all bandaged up and then you’ll be on the way to healing.” Right before he pressed the cleaning pad to your knees, he pressed a kiss to your cheek.

“Fuck that does hurt.” You laughed, trying not to think about the slight sting. You watched as he wrapped some ace gauze around each knee.

He looked up at you, laughing at your confused expression. “I know it’s easier to put on a bandaid but this will be less painful to take off” he said, answering your unasked question. He did the same thing for your palms, finishing everything with a kiss to each scrape and then to your lips. “Wanna still go lay by the pool?”

You pulled way, looking at your knees. “And get a fucked up tan line? I’m gonna pass.” He laughed again, nodding in acceptance.

“Fair point. We can go get ice cream from the place just off campus? Brian is having a party tonight. We could go that, and just rest until then?” As nice as ice cream sounded, you were exhausted from earlier.

You’d much rather just cuddle with your knight in shining armor. “How about we lay here and go to the party. What time is it?”

He checked his phone, “party starts at 8, it’s only 2 right now.”

Your eyes widened, realizing that while you were done for the day, Shawn wasn’t. “Shawn you have a class!”

He shook his head. “Not going today. I’ve gotta take care of my injured girlfriend.” His smirk telling you that there was no changing his mind.

“Okay fighter, I’ve gotta go get changed for this party.” He let out a low whine, your fingers no longer dancing across his back or raking through his hair.

“It’s only 6:30, why so early.” His voice high pitched and dragging.

You giggled, sweeping your hand over your scraped jeans and mess of hair. “Because I’d like to look decent, and I’ve cried off all my makeup.” You states matter of fact-ly.

There was a hesitation on Shawn’s part before he rolled off of you, letting you crawl out of his bed and grab your things. Your flowers desperately needing to be placed in a real vase of water and not propped up against the wall in a coffee mug. “So, I’m going to assume that Brian isn’t throwing a dinner party. Would jeans be fine, or should I go for a classic LBD?”

At your question, Shawn’s face twisted. “The fuck is an LBD.” Trying to control your laughter, you took a deep breath.

“Jeans or a black dress, Shawn.” Finally realising what you meant, he rolled his eyes.

“Unless you’d prefer beer spills on a cute dress I’m sure you paid a lot of money for. I’d go with jeans. I like those black ones you wore the other day.” You nodded, pressing a kiss to his pouty lips before going to your room to get ready.

---

The drive to Brian’s was filled with lots of Taylor Swift. “I didn’t peg you as a Taylor fan.” You laughed as he bopped his head along to “You Belong With Me” he just smiled and parked the jeep, running over to open your door for you.

“Ready my dear?” you nodded excitedly, hopping out of the car and leaning forward for a kiss.

The inside of Brian’s apartment was full of people, loud music, and alcohol. “Hey babe, I’m gonna go get a drink, do you want anything?” Shawn asked, his mouth practically on your neck.

You bit your lip as you thought, “Vodka cranberry?” you asked, watching as he smiled down at you.

He let out a groan “A woman after my heart.” And with that he was off to the kitchen, leaving you in the living room with the crowd of sweaty dancing college students.

You decided to join a group of girls dancing to the overly played rap song, rolling your hips to the beat. Even though you were in heeled boots, the heel was thick enough to keep you stable as you turned around to dance back to back with the blonde girl that was in your accounting class. But a hand on your hip made you turn your head, sighing in relief when you saw Shawn holding out a solo cup for you. “Thanks babe!”

He smiled, cutting between you and the girl to pull you back against him, your hips rolling against his “You seem to be having fun.” His lips on your neck as he spoke.

“Mhmmm, just what I needed after today.” Your words slight muffled as you took a sip. His hands rested on your hips as you pushed up against him.

It was nearing 3am when the house cleared out, Brian allowing you and Shawn to stay in the guest room since neither of you chose to stay sober. “Okay man, I’m gonna get her into bed, thanks for letting us stay.” Shawn said, walking towards your half asleep frame on the sofa. “Hey there gorgeous, you ready to go up to bed so you don’t have to sleep on the couch full of cups?”

You mumbled something, not even you were sure what you said. “Haha okay, come on.” He smiled, picking you up and carrying you down the hall to the bedroom, shutting off the lights in the process. The cleaning to be left for the morning, when you were hungover and waiting for the advil to kick in.

Unlike your dorms, the bed in Brian’s guest room was a queen and not a twin, so the two of you could fit in it perfectly. “Let’s get undressed, you’ve got drink spills all over your clothes.” “Mmmm too sleepy.” You mumbled, your social fuel tank was empty, and you were so drained, that he didn’t even blame you. He was surprised you even decided to come in the first place. So after discarding his jeans and tee, he moved to carefully pull off your shoes, jeans and top, fully prepared to slip you into one of Brian’s shirts he’d lent you for the night.

“No. Wanna sleep like this.” You groaned, tugging off your bra and settling into the grey sheets.

He just stared at you, jaw slightly lower at you all curled up in the sheets practically naked. “Honey are you sure? Is it okay with you that I sleep next to you like this?” You nodded, tugging his hand closer to you

“I may still be a little drunk, but I want this. Just come cuddle me, please.” you opened your eyes to look at him and smile.

So he crawled in behind you, his warm chest pressed to your back as he curled around you in a blanket of warmth. “Shawn?” He hummed, prompting you to continue, “thank you for not pushing anything on me. It means a lot to me that you respect me.”

He smiled against the back of your neck, “Of course babe. Anything for you.” A smirk pulled at your lips.

“Anything?” He nodded. “Even a quick makeout session?”

“Babe, you’re drunk, and I know I won’t be able to control myself because you’re so gorgeous.” But you had already rolled over, throwing your leg up and over his hip.

“Shawn, look at me. I want this.” You looked ay him, your eyes telling him you were serious.

He shook his head. “Let’s go to bed, if you still want to in the morning. I promise I won’t deny you want you want.” He stated, pressing a quick, but sensual kiss to your lips.

You woke up to Shawn nuzzling into your chest. Not in a sexual way, but more of the way you’d nuzzle a pillow while trying to get comfortable. “Morning there bubs.” You groaned, his eyes flicking up to look at you.

“Good morning sleeping beauty.” His lips leaving a trail along your collarbone.

You let him continue his half asleep loving for a fre more minutes before you spoke, “About last night...” You smiled “I meant it. I want this, Shawn. Not sex just yet, but something. Just, I don’t know, work our way up to it?”

As you spoke, he watched you intently, making sure you weren’t lying. “I’m ready if you are.” You nodded, grabbing his unbandaged hand and guiding it to your right breast. He held it there for a second while he captured your lips in a heated kiss. But you grew impatient with his lack of movement. You knew he was just being careful as not to trigger anything, but you wanted to experience this. And with someone you could finally trust.

“Shawn, I promise I’m calm. Please do something.” you whimpered. That was all he needed to hear before his lips moved down your neck, his left thumb gently rolling your nipple before his lips enclosed on the other one. You’d never felt something like that before, and your back arched harshly, pressing yourself further into him. But before too long, he was switching sides, causing you to moan into his hair as you rolled your hips against his abdomen. “Babe, babe stop.”

He instantly pulled away with a pop. “Did I do something wrong?”

You shook your head, “No, but if you keep going I’m going to want to go a lot further than I’m ready for.”

He let out a soft chuckle “Okay babe, but you’re gonna have to let me go take care of myself okay?”

Biting your lip for a second, you started thinking. “Or maybe, maybe we could keep going? You’ll stop if I need you to?”

“No honey, really it’s okay. Don’t feel obligated to do anything. I can just go take a quick shower and I’ll be right back to cuddle you.”

With a deep kiss, you rolled on top of him, grinding your hips into his and earning a low whine from the back of your throat. “Shawn, I want to, please. I- I really need to. If I want to stop I’ll say so.”  Through hooded eyes, you watched as he flipped you back over and propped himself up, sliding a hand down your stomach, circling your clit through your panties.

Your whimpers turned to moans as he continued, the fabric of your panties creating a heavenly friction.

As amazing as this felt, you knew he wasn’t getting anything out of this, so you started to reach for his boxers. “No babe, I’m already so close just from getting you off. I’ve got it. Do you mind?” He asked, moving his hand and rubbing himself against you, his bulge running over your clit with each movement of his hips. “Mhm. That’s okay. Please Shawn I’m so close.”

With a few more movements and some marks being made on each other’s skin, Shawn had ruined his boxers, the heavy pants coming from the two of you making the room hot.

“You okay sweetheart?” He asked after a few minutes, leaving kisses to your shoulder.

“Yeah. I’m okay. Just let me have a few minutes?” He pressed a final kiss to your skin before getting out of bed.

“Of course. I know that was a big step for you. I’m going to go get cleaned up okay, do you need anything?” You shook your head, watching as he walked out of the room and down the hall.

“What the fuck do you mean you need to borrow my boxers Mendes?! Should make your ass go commando for the day!” You let out a loud laugh as you heard Brian’s voice echo down the hallway.

Shawn ran back into the room, face red as he laughed. “So um... I'm in charge of cleaning the house now. Let’s wash our clothes while I do that, and you can just stay in bed.” You couldn’t help the giggles that erupted from your chest as you hid your face in the comforter. You knew you could trust letting down your guard for him.

Hello Michelle~ how are you these days? I have been dreaming about Kidd a lot lately cuz this little baby just wants love and trust but he has been treated badly during the whole series 😢 and his trust issues are growing worse 😫. So can you write sth about Kidd opening up to his s/o, please?? Thank you darling. I still love you to Raftel and back 💖

Awww you are too sweet! Of course I can, hope you enjoy :)!

Kid opening up to you headcanon

Ufff, wanting for Kid to trust you is like trying to crack open a stone when your only tool is a plastic spoon- it’s nearly impossible, requires an insane amount of patience, the consideration of different strategies, might be dangerous and possibly won't even be worth it in the end...

you would be right to assume that his issues with trusting people are as bad as can be, and even if you are his partner you'll be quick to notice that Kid's views on how a relationship should work are vastly different from what you might think, especially in terms of communication and, well, trust

we’re talking secrets and restrictions almost everywhere, aside from the bedroom of course. He does enjoy to brag or show off, but you quickly notice that he never reveals anything too touchy and personal. That’s off-limits. (do you know the Beast from ‘Beauty and the Beast’? That’s basically early-relationship-Kid xD)

if you want him to open up, then you gotta wait until Kid does that on his own. Pestering him with questions and your constant need to know about him might just cause the redhead to grow annoyed and distance himself from you

when does he know that he can trust? He doesn’t lol. At some point he just kind of clicks automatically and feels comfy enough around you to sloooooowly lower his guard a bit. He ain’t even noticing it

it's always during the oddest moments that something might slip past him, and he doesn't even realize it. Like when you patch him up from a fight, and Kid suddenly recalls how he once received a similiar wound a few years back... bam! here comes small storytime

as the relationship grows he actually starts to react to questions. While Kid would usually shut you down right away once you start asking about his past and stuff, he know mutters simple responses like “not now”, “maybe later” or “wait until I’m drunk and ask again”. Give it a bit more time and Kid while actually bless you with real and satisfying answers!

but he shouldn’t be the only one to talk and frankly, it’s almost getting him a bit flustered that you want to know so much yet talk so little (probably because he never bothered asking you about yourself). So it’s time to reverse this little game... now if you want something from him you also gotta reveal stuff about yourself!

and you already know what this will inevitable lead to- dumb drunken confessions infront of the whole damn crew. It’s not just storytime, it’s spilltime. Secrets that you probably don’t even want to know or stuff regarding your, ahem, private life with Kid will be openly discussed as if he was talking about the weather. A few members, especially Killer, Heat and Wire, at least have the decency to turn away when Kid starts bragging about inappropriate stuff like that

you know that you completely managed to earn his trust when Kid actually starts to act... like a considerably normal partner (insane, I know). Asking you for advice on certain topics, allowing you to handle some of his stuff when he's away and sometimes even telling you that being with you makes him feel more chill. That’s basically it, you did it! Kid finally trusts and genuinely values you.3

Could you write something cute with Bubba Sawyer? Perhaps with a soulmate Au ?

((Awww this is very cute! I’ll admit, I’m a big old sucker for soulmate aus. I wanted to do a “first words” one but I was a little uncertain because while Bubba does “talk” he has a lot of trouble verbalizing and I wasn’t sure it would count or not. I hope you like this. UwU

    Soulmate marks were overrated. It seemed like everyone your age had found their soulmate by now. This was great for them, but you couldn’t help but feel like somewhat of a third wheel. Especially at times like this, when your friends and their soulmates decided they all wanted to go on a road trip. It was nice that they included you, but you couldn’t help but feel a tad jealous of how happy they were. You weren’t entirely alone though, this was the 70s after all. Free love between non-soulmates was becoming extremely common nowadays, meaning your Friday nights didn’t have to be spent at home. Still, you felt yourself wanting more.

This is probably how you ended up in the middle of Butt-Fucking-Nowhere, Texas, in a sweltering Shaggin’ Wagon surrounded by horny hippies blaring the radio. As you drove through the countryside, a terrible smell permeated the air. One of your buddies mentioned something about you driving past an old slaughterhouse but frankly, you didn’t really give a shit. “Holy shit, there’s a hitchhiker out here!”

“We better stop.” You try to look out the front window to get a good look, but you can’t make out much.

“But he looks weird, and he’s gonna smell like hog shit.”

“I say we pick him up, it’s hot as hell out here…” you pipe up. “He could have a stroke or somethin’.”

    Everyone reluctantly agrees and before you know it, you’re sharing the back of the van with a real rat-lookin’ guy rambling something about how his family had always been in meat and how they used to work the slaughterhouse. You had somewhat zoned out when you felt him suddenly grab your wrist.

“Th-That’s a r-r-real nice soulmark ya got there!”

You flinch a bit and awkwardly pull your hand back, “Thanks…I think it’s a bike chain.”

He makes a confused face and shakes his head, “Mm-mmm. Th-That’s a s-s-saw chain! S-See the spikes!”

Now that he mentioned, it you could kinda see it. “Huh. I guess you’re right.”

The man seems to want to say something but doesn’t, after a few awkward seconds, he beams up at you again, “C-Can I take your picture?”

It’s a bit of a weird request but you don’t really mind. “Sure…”

He beams at you and pulls out and old polaroid, not even giving you a chance to pose or anything before he quickly snaps a shot.

He shakes it a few times before handing it to you, still grinning maniacally, “It-It’s a r-r-real good picture see! I’ll give it to yah for a d-dollar!”

It’s really not that good, it’s all blurry and and the lighting is wack. But the guy’s really sweet and to be honest, seems like he needs the money. You reach for your wallet but one of your friends stops you, “Don’t waste your time, (Y/N), the picture’s shit anyway…”

The man’s face dropped, “N-No it ain’t! It’s good!”

“C’mon just let me pay for it!”

“We’re already giving him a ride, what more does he want!”

“Here,” you manage to shove a wrinkled 5 dollar bill into his hand. Your friend rolls his eyes.

The hitchhiker looks at the bill with wide eyes, “Th-Thanks! You wanna see my knife?” That is a very ominous question but he looks genuinely excited and earnest about it. Maybe he’s just a little socially awkward and doesn’t get that that might be upsetting.

“Sure?” He grins and pulls out his straight razor, running his finger along the tip.

“It’s a rrreal good knife!” the whole car watches silently as he plays with it, “S-See?” He starts dragging the blade hard along his palm, and the whole van looks on in horror. He grins up at you, “Wanna try!”

That’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back for your fellow riders, and with considerable struggle, they kick him out of the van. He hollers and kicks the van, smearing his blood along the side. As you leave him there, you feel a bit bad. He was a weird little dude, but he didn’t seem to mean any harm by anything…

You eventually pull up at a gas station a few miles up the road. Unfortunately, the older man working there says the truck won’t come until morning. You were content to just wait at the station until then, but the others soon got restless. They decide to leave you to watch the van while they went exploring. They wanted to find the Old Franklin house where folks always disappeared. While you didn’t much care for being alone, they really seemed excited about it so you agreed. Day turned to night as the hours passed and they hadn’t returned. The old man kept encouraging you to wait here for their return but you just had a feeling that something was really wrong.

“Wait, ‘fore yah go, can I see your soulmark?” Did he think you were soulmates? Weird, but you show him anyways. His eyes go wide when he sees and he shakes his head, “Sorry there, I thought…I thought it might be something else…” You can’t help but look down at his own soulmark, but it’s hard to see just what it is due to the severe scar tissue marring the skin where it would be. Something real bad must have happened, but everyone knows not to ask about something like that. You wish him a goodnight and head out to find your friends.

    Before you know it you find yourself at an old farmhouse. You hate intruding, but this just had to be where your friends were. Surely they’d understand? Nothing could have prepared you for what awaited inside. Furniture of bone and a stench of death that seemed to be coming from the very walls. And then you got to the kitchen. Dear god…If there was a Hell, you found where they prep the meat. You nearly threw up at the sight of a torso impaled on a meat hook wearing an all too familiar shirt. Bloody and filth coated every square inch of the place and you could only imagine the horrors you’d see if you opened up that freezer. You turn to leave, when a you hear the slam of a large metal door opening.

Standing in the doorway is a terrifying giant of a man wielding a butcher’s hammer, he’s covered in blood and viscera and is wearing a grotesque mask of some material you can’t quite identify. He sees you and lets out a series of terrible, wheezy, and pig-like squeals. You scramble on the other side of the work table, desperately trying to put some distance between the two of you, but he simply upturns it with one hard shove. There’s no way out. You’re going to die here! You collapse, hopeless, to your knees and put your arms up in a fruitless gesture of defense. You close your eyes and wait for that final hammer blow that will bash your brains all over this kitchen…But it never comes.

    You hear the hammer drop to the floor and then a heavy thud. The panicked squeals from before have shifted into angry grunts and seemingly heartbroken sobs. You peek your eyes open a bit to see that the man has fallen to his knees in front of you, and is hunched over, beating at his own head. You’re too in shock to take this opportunity to run away. He looks at you, doe brown eyes brimming with tears. He takes his hands away from his head to reach for you and you flinch back instinctively. He sees this and pulls back, burying his face in his hands and letting out a mournful wail. He finally met his soulmate and he hurt them! They were scared of him, just like everyone else. He didn’t deserve a soulmate who loved him. As his thoughts kept spiraling and he grew more and more upset, you take this time to get a better look at him. This is where you realize two extremely upsetting things.

First, that mask wasn’t made of fabric at all, it was skin…human skin. But that wasn’t the really the worst part, on his wrist, slightly covered by a bracelet of teeth and leather was a soulmark, your soulmark. Is that why he didn’t kill you? But-But how could he be your soulmate? You very slowly reach your hands up to take hold of his, just trying to stop him from hurting himself. He tries to look at you but his eyes keep darting around the room and he can’t stop licking and biting at his lips anxiously. You know  you’re supposed to be terrified, but he hardly looks scary like this. The poor thing was trembling. You press your matching marks together, reflecting each other like a funhouse mirror. If you weren’t sure before, this proves it, he is your soulmate, which has to count for something. Maybe…Maybe the universe knows something that you don’t yet?

They…They touched him, maybe they could love him… He reaches out to pet your hair, just to test the waters. At first you flinch away, still half-expecting to become the next body on a hook, but he touches you so gently. As if you’ll crumble in his hands if he isn’t careful. You turn your head and give his palm a soft kiss. Maybe it was all you could muster up at the moment, but he seems more than happy with that. He wheezes a bit, but it’s more that he’s just so excited to meet you rather than scared like before. You keep ahold of that large hand, as you look up at him. With your free hand, you slowly reach up to his face. He watches your hand approach with what you can only assume was a combination of anticipation and terror. But you don’t yank off his mask, or what he really fears, hit him. You run your thumb under his eyes, wiping away his tears. That small kindness was enough to almost make him start crying again, but he held it in.

“What’s your name?” you finally manage to get out.

He smiles a tiny bit, and it’s oddly cute, an adjective you did not think you would ever associate with this man. He warbles out something unintelligible. So, looks like language might be another relationship barrier. It doesn’t matter though…you’re together and have all the time in the world to figure it out.

Butterfly’s Poison; Blood Chains (Chou no Doku) Part 3 - Hideo Ozaki Route

I'm quite interested in Hideo tbh, because he genuinely cares for Yuriko but it also feels like he hates her to an extent so I want to see if he'll still be a jerk lol. OH, Hideo already has a fiancee..I guess we might get a Yuriko is the mistress tragic end?🥲 I can see why Hideo's family would want to find a girl from an even more prestigious family than Yuriko's because Yuriko's mother looked down on them for thinking they could get Hideo and Yuriko to marry. I quite like how they talked about the 'what if' scenario of if Yuriko's mother wasn't against Hideo and Yuriko getting married. Hideo was definitely happy when Yuriko said they would be happy. It's actually kinda funny how Shiba has already noticed that Yuriko is a bit jealous and curious about Hideo's fiancee and teases Yuriko about it lol. It's quite amusing how everyone can tell how much Hideo and Yuriko want to be with each other except themselves lol. Honestly, they say such embarrassing things that would basically mean 'I like you' but they're so oblivious to it. But I guess more than obliviousness, they choose to believe that it shouldn't be love because they both have their circumstances that would make it too difficult if they do decide that they like each other and want to be together. I really enjoyed their night walk though, it felt sweet to see two childhood friends so honestly talk about how they felt like they've drifted apart but that even though they've grown older, they haven't really changed at heart. Hideo visiting her frequently to check on her after her mother passed away was really sweet of him, he's so considerate.

Such a happy and talkative Hideo at the zoo lol! He's actually so adorable when he's talking about animals, I didn't expect that haha. Honestly, even though I'm as happy as Yuriko is that Hideo is always inviting her out, I am also worried about the fiancee thing considering he's been going to Yuriko's house lately and is now going out with her to the zoo and an opera too, people would definitely misunderstand. Hideo holding her hand in the crowd to make sure she's okay was so unexpected but cute. Ughhh I hate how their date got ruined, I didn't want them to face reality yet and not in this way that could affect Hideo's military career either. But I'm still really happy that Hideo prioritised protecting Yuriko above everything else. Hideo so genuinely laughing at Yuriko asking him whether he still wants to fly in the sky like a bird because he said he wanted to be a bird when he was a child is so adorableee. Yuriko really was a wild child lol, untying her obi sash to use as a rope to save Hideo when he fell into the water chasing after birds is just such a hilarious scene to imagine. Awww Hideo and Yuriko taking that awkward photo by the river was super cute! It's probably going to bite them in the ass later but I don't even care because they're so innocent and sweet, how can we not support their love?! They should run away together like Yuriko said in the beginning lol.

My heart broke when Hideo said he volunteered to go to war in Siberia. I understand his reasons, and it's true that it's probably one of the only ways for him to refuse the engagement with a lady from such a prestigious family without shaming his family but I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I love it that Hideo would rather go to war and believe in the off chance that he'll survive and come back and be able to marry Yuriko, showing how much he loves her and refuses to marry anyone besides her. But I'm sorry I can't do it, I'm too weak. If I was Yuriko, I wouldn't be able to bear the idea of the man I love going so far away just so we could possibly be together. I'd rather we separate and he marry someone else. I'd rather he live in sadness than die. I don't want Hideo to die. There's so many ways he could die. He could die on the way there, from the war, from disease and so many other things! I wouldn't want him to go even if it was in the modern day, let alone the Taisho era! I just wouldn't be able to tolerate the idea of him dying in a foreign place when he didn't need to go. It's just too heartbreaking. I loved how they shared a kiss as they bathed in the sights of the town together, and naturally, they gave themselves to each other before Hideo departed. I hated having to watch them cry at being torn apart and possibly never seeing each other again, but I also really loved how pure their love is for each other with one determined to come back no matter what and the other determined to wait for them no matter what. It's just depressing to think about all the people who have gone through this before and never got their happy endings.

Sawako seems like a great woman and I think Hideo would be happy with her in the other routes where Yuriko is with someone else haha. I think if he got to see the strength she showed Yuriko, he would be able to love her. Hideo defied military orders and came back because he found out about Majima from another officer. It's actually kinda funny though, everyone has someone that recognises Majima in every route, it's like dang Majima, you're really not good at hiding this are you lol. I'm so glad that Hideo is leaving the military, I hope he can pursue his true interests now. Oh wow, he's already been studying birds in his spare time and has already published papers?! Dayum boy! He's already set lol. I'm honestly so happy for them, the ending made me feel so warm, they'll definitely bicker a lot but they'll also cherish each other a lot and thinking about their future makes me super happy for them haha. I was mad on behalf of Yuriko knowing that she always has to follow along with Hideo to discover new birds species in all kinds of places and having to separate from their son, but I guess I'm soft-hearted like Yuriko too, because when he said he can't live without her and can't concentrate when she isn't beside him, I couldn't get mad at him, because we all know how much Hideo loves her and how he's willing to give his life for her, so I really believe him when he says that living apart from Yuriko is like living without air, he really might die lol. I knew the tragic ending would be Hideo dying in Siberia, but thinking about Hideo's wonky writing in his letters as he got more and more exhausted, and the crinkled photo of them by the river being found in his military uniform just made me want to cry. The other tragic ending was honestly tough to read. Knowing how straight-laced Hideo is but having to have an affair in order to be with Yuriko, and he can only meet her once a week, but be forced to face reality every time he sees her bulging stomach and the limitations to their relationship, but still be unable to let it go because he loves her too much, everything just honestly breaks my heart. Seeing Hideo go from angry, happy, sad and just keep going through those rollercoaster of emotions in a short span of time of meeting her just hurts. He knows he's terrible but he can't even stop himself because he hates how he can't be Yuriko's husband no matter what and that's just so painful to watch.

Overall, I really loved Hideo's route, definitely my favourite for now haha. It had everything I wanted for a love restricted by things like social status, responsibility, duty and a strong passion for true love. I've always liked Hideo so I'm happy for him in the best end that they're able to be together even if they got distant because of things outside of their hands. I loved how we slowly got to watch over Hideo and Yuriko go again from awkwardly talking to each other, reminiscing about their past to quite openly showing how much they love and care for each other. I loved how Hideo put in so much effort to visit Yuriko and take her out when her mother passed away, and I loved how they were like childish little lovebirds when they ran away to the river, kissed, had a fight and took a photo showing their desire to marry and be together forever. I hated how Hideo decided to go to war, but I loved that it showed how much he was willing to sacrifice just for the chance to be with Yuriko. It showed the depth of his love for her and how much he didn't want a life that didn't have her as his wife, which is why I can see why the tragic ending tormented him so, especially when he believed that Yuriko didn't try hard enough to be with him and just married Shiba. I loved how they're truly like childhood friends that are unafraid to share exactly what they think with each other but still show how much they care for the other. I really liked their relationship and I thought it was really cute and sweet. I wish I could see more of them haha!

Yooseven Week - Day 5

Cosplay | Conventions

Note: So technically, this is their first date, though this takes place after all the previous vignettes, and I swear I didn’t make it angsty, it’s all pure fluff! And like some element of cosplay, I kinda put my own spin on it. This was The Song™ for this one.

Pairings: Yoosung/707, mentioned Jaehee/MC

Word Count: 1k+

“You two are so cute together!”

Most of Saeyoung was paying attention to the voice on the other end of the line and the sounds of the apparently busy coffee shop, walking at a steady pace, stepping over each crack on the sidewalk for the sake of the habit.

MC’s voice was playing like music in his head, playing to accompany the trip down the sun-kissed sidewalk, a trip too short to take by car. Excitement grew in Saeyoung at the thought of his destination, smiling and looking down at his feet, taking an uncomfortable step to avoid the fictitious consequences of the superstition.

One foot in front of the other, turning a corner, phone to his ear, listening to MC’s elated reaction to his recent declaration of love for Yoosung in the chatroom. It was relieving, the support he received from the RFA members, and MC’s enthusiasm made it all the more satisfying.

He glanced at the rose in hand, twirled it between his fingers, and listened as MC continued.

“You have such a nice friendship,” she said, a quiet clanging and the hum of a coffee brewer in the background, “so Jaehee and I think you’re great together. Since I know how much you love him- ah, I’m just so happy for you!”

“We appreciate it.”

Saeyoung looked up again to avoid bumping into anything, walking under the sun shining in the clear sky, through the city, to Yoosung.

To the first official date they’d ever had, genuine plans they’d made, the ones before being movies or video games at one of their apartments, an endearing and beloved activity, but unlike deciding to meet up for something actually dubbed a date. Saeyoung had been looking forward to it ever since they agreed on where to go.

He made a right turn. Almost there.

“Sounds like you’re pretty busy.”

“Ah, no. Just working quickly. I told Jaehee to take a break.” A soft cough from the other end. “Where are you? Outside?”

“Yep. We’re going on a date soon.”

“Awww!”

He felt heat prickle on his skin from the burning sun, glad that he decided to wear a T-shirt in the warm summer weather. He kept his mind on his destination, imagining meeting Yoosung there, the scene playing out in his head, and pressed on, passing nearby walkers.

“You two have fun on your date!” she said, voice kind and sweet. As he rounded another corner to the park, he found his lips turning up into a smile.

He imagined Yoosung’s own when he’d see him.

“Thanks, MC.”

“See you later!”

A beep.

Irrational nervousness.

A consideration of the fact that, technically, he’d never been on a date before, but with Yoosung, it was a good start.

/

The trees cast a relieving shade across the park, over the field of grass and flowers, leaving shadows, temporary imprints, on the walkway. Yoosung sat on a bench under the cool wave of shade, locking eyes with Saeyoung from the other end of the walkway, face lighting up.

Saeyoung made his way to him, walking at a faster pace, hiding the rose behind his back. Yoosung stood from his seat, moving slowly to meet Saeyoung before the middle, drawing closer.

“Hey!” Yoosung’s greeting.

Saeyoung’s greeting came when they were close enough to touch, wrapping his arms around Yoosung and pulling him into a hug, careful to hold the rose behind him, smiling into the crook of his neck. Yoosung froze for a second before reciprocating, throwing his arms around Saeyoung’s neck and hugging him back.

Saeyoung fell into Yoosung’s warmth, warmth like the beating sun that lit the sky and sent its rays to the world around him, sweat trickling down his brow and the hug growing humid.

Five seconds.

The humidity grew uncomfortable, the hug increasingly overheated, but he only pulled away with the hug’s natural end and swung the flower forward from behind Yoosung’s back, offering it to him with a grin.

“For you!”

He tried to stifle his laughter and save the situation from the nervousness he beat down to the back of his mind. His hand shook slightly with the rose between his fingers.

God, stop being—

Yoosung’s smile was bright as he reached out to take the thornless rose, fingers lightly brushing against Saeyoung’s as he did so, sending a surge of happiness, a burst of nervousness, through Saeyoung. It made him feel like he did with his stupid, awkward crush, or that floating, euphoric feeling that had been replaced with content ones.

And it was brought upon him by the way Yoosung accepted the flower, bringing it to his nose and breathing in the scent, looking back up at Saeyoung.

“I love it.”

“Really? Oh, thank god. I was wondering if you even like flowers or—”

“I’d like any gift from you, Saeyoung.”

“—I just thought it’d be nice to get you something and I didn’t know if—”

Yoosung placed two fingers under Saeyoung’s chin, turning his head forward to face him, and leaned in to place a kiss on his cheek, lingering for a second. Saeyoung’s face was flushed, from the kiss and from the warm weather. When Yoosung pulled away, he let out his laughter, hands shaking.

Why are you so—?

“Are you nervous?” Yoosung asked, his expression worrisome, and Saeyoung mentally cursed to himself that he ruined their date, hands moving on their own to adjust his glasses.

“Kinda,” he admitted.

“I’m sorry if I made you—”

“You didn’t do anything wrong. This is just... a step forward for us.”

Yoosung processed that for a second, lips moving up into a smile. He glanced down to Saeyoung’s hand and reached out to take it, stepping back and pulling Saeyoung with him in a way that he couldn’t help but smile, too.

“I guess since it’s been months since we started dating, this is kinda late for a first date,” Yoosung joked, and the two fell into step and made their way down the walkway and through the park.

/

“Yoosung, is it really considered ‘dating’ if we’ve never been on a date until now?”

“Nope. We lost all our progress.”

“Dammit!”

Saeyoung lifted their hands up, bringing Yoosung’s to his lips and kissing his palm.

“I told you to save the game at our last checkpoint, Yoosung!”

/

The sun was a blinding light within branches, its rays overtaken by the shade cast upon the cement by the growing amount of trees in the park, Yoosung and Saeyoung’s connected hands swinging slightly as they walked.

They spoke happily with each other about whatever came up, Saeyoung finishing a conversation about Yoosung’s new job at Jumin’s company with a joke, Yoosung’s laugh ending with a sigh, a silence between the two of them that sat comfortably, yet with a feeling that there was a hole that needed to be filled.

Saeyoung inhaled, breathing in the cleared air from the coolness of the shade. He blinked for a second too long before opening his eyes again, listening to an initiation of discussion.

“You know... I actually don’t mind just... watching movies with you.”

Yoosung’s voice was small and hesitant, and his grip tightened in Saeyoung’s hand for a second before loosening. “This date is really nice,” he continued, “but don’t think we can’t just stay home for our dates. They’re the same either way, ‘cause we’re together.”

Saeyoung thought about that.

He loved Yoosung, loved spending time with Yoosung, whether it be at home or in a park or anywhere. He wouldn’t rather be on a date with anyone else, taking in every sensation that came from holding Yoosung’s hand and being with him in the moment.

When he first realized he had a crush on Yoosung, he didn’t think he’d get this far. He didn’t think he’d ever get to call him his boyfriend, and could never see the two of them on a date.

When he first realized he’d fallen in love with Yoosung, he wanted to cherish every moment with him, hold him in his arms and live in that love forever.

He looked over to Yoosung, eyes locking onto his, the nervousness returning and flowing through his body, the realization hitting him like a train.

His heart rate increased, thoughts flooding his mind, completely taking over him, and his grip tightened as his hand began to shake again, hoping that Yoosung’s wouldn’t be alarmed; but in that moment, he knew the exact reason behind his nervousness.

Yoosung’s eyes were bottomless pits to Saeyoung as he let go of his hand and changed the subject.

“I wonder what I’d look like wearing your glasses.”

Saeyoung involuntarily reached up to adjust his glasses, letting out another laugh, and slipped them off his face, thoughts still muddled, actions done in a half-minded manner like he was in a dream. He smiled as Yoosung took the glasses from his hands and put them on, blinking four times.

“Everything is so blurry!”

“I love you.”

It was random, said through laughter and a dumb smile, but it was a way for Saeyoung to express the thoughts in his head, more ideas being thrown at him every time he looked at Yoosung, who blinked again, letting out his own laughter.

“I love you, too. Why’d you...?”

“I just...” He felt light, like his feet were lifted off the ground, lightheaded and flying through the air, brought back down to earth to look into Yoosung’s eyes, vision blurry, but still enough to see his inquiring look, and made a tentative decision in his head. He sighed to finish his sentence.

He became aware of the hands on his cheeks and Yoosung’s soft whispers, Saeyoung’s arms moving to hold his waist.

“I love you,” he said, a small smile on his face, and Saeyoung had never kissed anyone with glasses before, but he wondered if this was how Yoosung felt when they kissed regularly.

The tentative decision floated in Saeyoung’s mind, hitting every corner, and he processed it, thought it over, and broke the kiss with a smile, having fully made his decision and stressed a feeling he’d felt before.

He wanted to cherish every moment with him.

He wanted to hold him in his arms.

He wanted to live in that love forever, and fall for him all over again with each passing day, for the rest of his life.

Hi PS, Awww you are the sweetest person I have come across. Thank you so much for taking out your precious time to respond to my query. Perhaps I should have phrased it better. Would Arnav believe Khushi if she had revealed Filthy!Shyam’s truth earlier? Would his family believe her? Take care and I genuinely mean you are a sweetheart to reply all our queries, despite your busy life.

Heyy :)

This so sweet! Thanks for taking my time and effort into consideration, I really appreciate it :)

Would Arnav believe Khushi if she had revealed Filthy!Shyam’s truth earlier? Would his family believe her?

o0o0 okay! I believe this is covered here and maybe this will be interesting to you. Over the years, almost every question has been asked and answered :D

I think most of Arnav’s family would take their cues from him. However, Mami would be disbelieving and Aakash would be devastated that Payal was hiding something of that magnitude in the lead-up to their wedding … much like their behaviour after the first reveal.

-💟

right, and some of the jumpscares will be so over the top, and the reactions will be so exaggerated that it's so much fun to make fun of. I used to barely go to my local library too, but then, last year, I wanted to get more into reading and it’s just so expensive to purchase all the books you want to read, especially when for all you know, you may end up never rereading them again. and there’s something so satisfying about picking up books from there. omg, omg, can I let you know soon? I'd love for us to read one together and form our own book club, hehe. everytime you say you turned your head into your pillow or smiled, I internally lose my shit at how cute that is. the butterflies, the blushing, the smiling - it is all such a pretty image in my head, and turns me into mush from how adorable it is. and you having to take a second and feeling everything so strongly is the most endearing thing, oh my goodness. and dsdksjkdj your compliments are the kindest thing ever, you’re so sweet. calling me cute has me holding my own cheeks and all. that scenario is actually the most perfect thing, I'd love to spend an entire day hanging out with you, having some good fruit, writing together, being all lazy and sleepy in the evening. I want to do it so, so bad. right! it’s so easy to fall asleep when you’ve spent the entire day busy and doing any kind of work, and the sleep those nights just hits different so good, omg. if you ever have any recommendations for documentaries, I'd love some! I wanna start watching some of the ones on Netflix, like the historical ones and the ones on mythology. there’s one called Secret Love, about two women decades ago who were in love, I so want to see it. for sure, and during summer, being up early, and having the sun shine in, the birds chirping, and being able to relax and do everything at your own pace. and yes, oof, writing and journalling in the morning feels so good! doing anything relaxing in the morning feels amazing, like even visual arts, or just lying down with the sun. omg, okay, I love soft music, I need to listen to her. and, in 2020, that’s when I started realizing I like women and non-binary people, and I went on a hunt for so, so many sapphic films, and I think I found it through doing that, haha. and omg, all the more reason for you to come, we will spend each moment with each other then, and do so many things together <3

that is so fucking cute. literally same, I get so excited when I'm both in public and private, and see that you’ve sent in an ask. I always end up imagining you, the idea is just so, so sweet. omg, you know, you definitely should take a trip here whenever, haha. I'm actually visiting America this summer, hopefully, and it’s also in an area usually warm through the year, hehe. that means so much to me, I am so, so glad you feel listened to and cared for, you one hundred percent always deserve to. dkjlkdjf okay, you calling me “angel” is officially my weak spot omg, you’re definitely making me feel like that. and winter here is a bit brutal, I think the worse we had this year was around -25 degrees celsius 😭omg it’s 32 where you are?? that is so hot wow! do you like summer a lot? here, it’s only around 10 degrees celsius.
