2AM
Duke dennis x black!reader
Summary: y/n being a streamer and being a part of a amp like her boyfriend duke, until in her stream she tries to do a cartwheel but her boyfriends pop up and starts laughing at her failed attempt, which became roasting to affectionate love.
You've been a part of amp for quite some time now. When you were younger, you always wanted to be a social media star, but people alas told you that your not gonna make it, but that didn't stop you from where you are today until you met kai, fanum, agent, Chris, duke, and Daviss and together you guys became one of the most popular YouTube group. And you love all of them like they were your own family.
Yeah, being the only girl in the group is kinda hard because there's niggas on the internet trolling, but you didn't give a fuck before they accepted you anyway, the more you got comfortable will all of them the more you loved all of them. You have a crush on Duke. You both were pretty close, and y'all both became best friends, and everyone in the group thought y'all was dating even if your fans thought y'all was dating, but it wasn't true.
You hide your feelings because you thought Duke would reject you or didn't like you until he made the first move and your relationship started from there. Y'all both were lucky to have each other, y'all would both come to each other streams, pranks, and all of that other stuff.
Your love language with him is roasting. People make it seem like y'all mean, but it ain't true both you just be joking with each other.
You were streaming playing a horror game, you was tired as fuck, but you wanted to finish playing the game.
"Bruh, chat, I'm not gonna lie,I'm tired as fuck I've been playing this game for an hour, I've been trying to stay awake for y'all." Y/n said tiredly as she picked up her water drinking it as she looked at the chat.
"Bro, somebody in the chat told me to do a cartwheel to stay awake." Y/n laughed as she pushed her chair back and stood up.
"Yo chat, I ain't gonna lowkey don't know how to do a cartwheel, like I'm being so deadass, I'm not an athletic person, hold on imma try for you guys." Y/n stands up as she pushes her chair farther away so she can have some room.
"Bro, I'm scared. What if I bust my ass!!" Y/n yelled as she looked back at the chat. Y/n raised both her hands as she placed both of them on the ground, trying to kick her legs up, but ended up falling on the ground.
"Shit, hold on chat. Let me try again, damn this shit is harder than I thought." Y/n got herself up as she tried to do another cartwheel. Y/n puts both her hands on the ground. As she tried to kick her legs up, she heard her door open.
"Aye, bae do you got my charg-" Duke was about to finish his sentence as he saw you trying to cartwheel he started busting out laughing, making you laugh as you got up.
"It's not funny, nigga. I'm trying to do a cartwheel. " y/n laughed, feeling embarrassed as Duke started laughing.
"Nah, that gotta be one of the worst cartwheels I've seen bruh, you don't know how to do a cartwheel?" Duke said, still laughing, making fun of you.
"Shut the fuck up, nigga can you do a cartwheel?" Y/n said asking him as she was huffing and puffing form those failed attempt cartwheel.
"Yes, way much better than that, bro. Imagine not lifting yourself up." Duke said, laughing at you.
"Nigga, I know you talking you pushing 40 and you was in the back of the bus with rosa parks, with yo old ass." Y/n commented as she started laughing as the people in the chat start making fun of Duke going crazy.
"Oh, so that's how you gonna do me, for real." Duke said, smiling in disbelief as you roasted him.
"Yes, imma do you like, ayo chat spam 1987 in the chat, that's the year you was born at with you old ass." Y/n started laughing as everyone in the chart started spamming 1987 in the chat.
"Yeah, I got you on mute. You were serving in ww2 with yo old ass. " You still kept roasting as you both were facing each other as Duke started smiling at the smile that you melt.
Duke wasn't listening to anything you were saying while you were still roasting him. He was looking at your lips as he grabbed your waist and started kissing you. You were caught off guard by this, but you kissed him back. You broke this kiss as he looked back at you. "You so gorgeous, bae." Duke smiled at you as was still holding you close, as he was still holding your waist. "Aww, thank you, bae. I would say something nice about you, but you were making fun of me." Y/n teased.
"Damn, that's fair, I love you y/n" Duke said, genuinely looking at you with so much love in his eyes.
"I love you too," y/n responded as she kissed him on the lips. As Duke lifted your legs up, carrying you as laughed, he was yours, and you were his.

Do you think Ian, Lip or Fiona ever broke any bones as kids? And if so, how do you think that it happened?
oh 100%
we actually learned that ian broke his collarbone at 12, and i always find that very interesting.
there are three ways that i think this could have happened:
he pulled a season 1 carl. i feel like younger ian was basically just like younger carl just a bit quieter and more mellow (less of a psycho), but he was definitely athletic and hyper like him. in season 1 carl tries to do a crazy stunt by driving a dirt bike off of the roof or some shit like that and ends up breaking his arm, so i can imagine ian trying to show off for lip or something and then just landing wrong and⊠bam. maybe he like, fell out of a tree or something. all i know is that it mustâve been pretty ian âplay what coolâ gallagher.
he and lip pull one of their infamous schemes and ian fucks up. yet again, ian âplay what coolâ gallagher lives up to that name. iâm thinking of the first scene with them both in 3x01 when theyâre stealing that part for the thing lip was building (sorry iâm doing a rewatch rn but iâm only at like 2x07 so i donât remember what) and then ian jumps off of the building and runs from the cops. maybe they stole something dumb from like, the mall or something, and they get chased and ian tries to do what he does in 3x01, but heâs only 12 so heâs not as strong, trained, and tall as he ends up being so he totally fucks up and gets caught. thatâs pretty similar to #1 but iâm placing the blame more on lip because letâs be honest, lip most definitely had something to do with it.
football. ian played football in elementary/middle school, according to season 2 carl, so maybe he got hurt doing that? i was going to try to elaborate but all i know about football is that thereâs a ball and people get tackled so⊠yeah. maybe his collarbone was the reason he stopped playing. like, we know he stopped and we know he wished monica was there when he broke it, so maybe he got hurt at a game that monica missed (ian gives monica shit for missing carlâs other games in season 2, maybe he was projecting?) and since he was injured and realized his mom couldnât be bothered to come anyways, he quit? âŠdamn that got angsty oops
also, ian is such an athlete that i can imagine him breaking other bones too, and based off of the scene in 1x01 where fiona says she can ânever remember whether thatâs good or badâ when lip winces after sheâs trying to help him leads me to believe sheâs had to deal with a kid breaking a leg or an ankle or something. i think it would be ian. i also remember hearing that when you break a bone it makes it easier to break it again later on, so him breaking his leg when he was younger could explain how his leg snapped so easily in 10x08đ
as for fiona, i canât ever see her breaking a bone but for some reason i can really see her spraining her ankle as a teen. she was a track star and always going on runs, and i feel like thatâs a common injury in track (my girlfriend does track⊠thatâs the only somewhat athletic thing i know even a little bit about so i apologize for my stupidity about this LMAO). it could be a serious problem if fiona needed to lay low for a bit, because she would not let herself do it. and if she was still in school and doing track sheâd be like, 16? so ian and lip would be 10 and 11, and i could imagine them forcing her to lay down and rest while they took care of things for her.
lip has never broken a bone in his life, miraculously. i mean, if you count breaking his nose, a few knuckles, and bruising his ribs then maybe, but i donât think heâs really suffered a serious injury like that before. he always is getting into (and losing) fights, but he managed to never break a bone. my man is too unathletic for that shit (me too bro)⊠a deviated septum and maybe a sprained wrist are the worst injuries heâs delt with.
#this is basically a long post of aria rambling about god knows what#iâve broken 1 bone and it was in the most uncool way ever#i punched a bus seat when i was in like 6th grade and it broke my pinkyâŠ#iâm such a loser i know#if lip were to break any bones it would be like me- punching something dumb#shameless#fiona gallagher#lip gallagher#ian gallagher#monica gallagher#carl gallagher#shameless headcanon

Ya know those dreams where there is so much plot happening and you can barely keep up and when you wake up you can only remember like 1 thing?
Last night I dreamt that I was in an arranged marriage (idk who arranged it cause I'm an adult and don't speak to my parents) but I get married and like a month into the marriage, we're climbing something and he gets knocked out and like his gamer stats appeared above him and I found out he was 3'3, which is weird cause he was taller than me (he was like 5'8, I'm 5'2) and he was really mad about the fact that I knew for the rest of the dream. he was really nice tho and wasn't mad at me, he was just mad that I knew
BRO I LOVE SLEEPING SM BECAUSE THE WAY MY MIND MAKES DREAMS SPONTANEOUSLY- I COULD NEVERđđđ
I remember having this vivid, jarring dream where I was home alone, and some dude came up to my door and was like "I like you and I wanna get married to u. Let's go out?" And he takes me on a car ride and throughout the ride I roasted tf outta this guy cause he was OLD (I'm talking 60s) and he had white hair and a white beard but he was like handsome and fit and athletic build and tall, etc. And even though I kept insulting him and telling him all the reasons why we're incompatible, this dude just smiled softly and had goo goo eyes for me and then we returned to my home and as I got in, he said he was now even more sure that he wants to marry me, and I was like "even if I agreed, which I don't, my parents would never-" and then my uncles and parents come home and they're like yelling at this guy to fuck off and they're like pushing him out of the house but then this old dude gets REALLY MAD and starts fucking screaming and his eyes turn completely black and he's yelling "SHE'S MINE! SHES MINE! ILL MARRY HER ALONE! MINE!" and then idk why, but he suddenly sent a cannonball of fire inside the house and my mom's losing her marbles because wtf is this otherworldly creature????? Meanwhile, this old dudes family pulls up outside our house (and it's people of all ages, from babies, children to adults) and are trying to sweet talk to my family into giving my hand in marriage to this man, but obv my family is like no, and pushes the old dude out of the house. Meanwhile, my mom is crying in the corner and I'm just whining about there being so much noise that it's disturbing my studies.
Anyways, for some reason, I poke my head outside the door to see if these people are gone, but just then someone- a teen girl (maybe 17?) From his family was leaving when she looked back at me and looked me up and down and then had this smile on her face (it wasn't necessarily creepy, but it was... it just told me she wasn't human either) and she said "oh, you're nice. I can see why he likes you." And nodded her head in approval.
And then I wake up and obviously, every bizarre thing- I gotta tell my mom about it. And poor woman, omg she is HORRIFIED as I tell this dream with glee and she's like "I'd never let you marry someone so old and creepy and scary!đđđ" and I'm like okay. And then she's like "who do u think the old guy was? Do u know him?" And I'm like I've never seen him before, but he didn't feel like he was human. At first, I thought he was the devil/Shaytaan. But then I saw his family, and it clicked to me that these might be a clan of jinns/djinn (it's an Islamic thing okay? Just look it up yourself) and basically I've heard stories that these supernatural creatures often fall in love with humans and then are dead set upon marrying them and even isolate them/possess them so that they can't marry anyone else and make them so crazy and unhinged that their own family doesn't wanna be near them and now the human's only source of comfort is with the jinn.
So like.... yeahđ„°
And my mom was like "SNOW WHY WOULD U THINK THAT! NEVER EVER TELL ME YOUR DREAMS AGAIN!" and I think it's cause a part of her thinks that dreams have subliminal messages/ability that these might come true (cause again, we've all heard of stories that jinns can actually come in your dreams to give you some messages or what not) and I'm just giggling away while she's freaked out.
I think the only other dream of mine that freaked her out like this bad was the one where I explained in gruesome details on how I was buried alive. Like I told her that when they laid me in the grave, I could feel the wet muddy ground against my backđđ and she told me to stop before I could say more.

https://www.tumblr.com/hockeychatstea/765635501712670720/i-have-some-thoughts-and-have-noticed-a-few-things?source=share
so this whole post is inch-resting for a few reasons, because it confirms i'm not fucking crazy lol. i've noticed some of this shit for months now, basically since those two started dating lmfao (well, publicly anyway)
so the queer sibling and his sister are EXTREMELY close. like, would take a bullet for each other close. closer than sway is to his sister close. the queer sibling also lives in chicago, while beth and her fam are in new york so so they can visit boston more regularly. i wanna say it was on puckgoss that someone who knew alessandra from high school said she was really good at being manipulative and fake nice in order to social climb, so it wouldn't surprise me if she was pulling the same shit on beth (esp since they see each other like 2-3 times a year at most?) because her being a bigot would NAWT fly in that house.
AND OKAY GOOD i'm not the only person who noticed the stuff going on with the wags. rebecca (pasta's wife) apparently HATES her, she's now seemingly been shunned from the main group of younger girls w amanda, ryen, paula, madison, etc. so now she's stuck clinging to katrina, a woman in her late 30s who also has a rep with locals for being a nasty cunt, but is also head wag so i guess not surprising she'd attach herself to the "queen bee" for clout. i saw a rumor on the athletic of all places, in the comments on one of the swayman contract articles, saying that during playoffs alessandra was incredibly rude and entitled towards the other wags/service staff during a cam neely foundation dinner that the front office put on for the wags, to the point where she got reprimanded by cam/his wife themselves for it being a bad look on the bruins org đŹ if true then holy YIKES no wonder the other girls want to distance themselves. i def noticed she didn't get invited out to any of the dinners after that night which i thought was sus, but didn't really think much about it at the time back in may lol.
the house thing is just. insanity lol. i've been convinced since june that they've been rushing the relationship because he was about to become one of the bruins core players and needed to look "settled" for optics because he's about to turn 26 this year which is "late" by nhl standards. his relationship with his ex tori lasted what, almost three years? they never moved that fast and that was with someone he literally described as the "girl of his dreams" on a podcast back in 2020. meanwhile he's moving in with with a girl he's known for less than a year, has nothing in common with, and who was actively hunting for a hockey husband to bankroll her luxury lifestyle while she sits around unemployed and badly plays instagram and tiktok influencer online. uh huh, sure jan. if the plan is to endgame then i sincerely hope sway is smart enough to keep his finances separate/in trust away from her because the vibes are absolutely rancid with that girl.
the one thing i'm gonna push back on is the fake nice thing, only because as a fan who has followed him for years now, him being like this is very VERY recent behaviour and pretty much started when he started dating alessandra. i've talked to so many other b's fans online who have noticed his entire personality change because of this girl. if it was a long-running issue there would probably be way more stories about him being a dick to people, but most anecdotes about him since college have always emphasized him being a genuinely sweet and well-adjusted (read: non hockey bro) guy. why he's decided to turn into country club frat boy mcgee to impress a girl i'll never understand, but it really ain't cute. like, the pussy CANNOT be that good. đ
Yeah it's honestly pretty sad if he's changing that much for her đ

easy || jungkook angst/fluff
Summary:Â Date you, win a bet, get his rent paid off. Sounds promising enough, right? Jungkook shouldâve known that his ambitions would end in disaster, but even if he did, that still wouldnât have stopped him from pursuing you.
Warning:Â cursing, crude humor, fuckboy talk
Genre:Â college!au, fuckboy!au, bet!trope, angst, fluff
Pairing: Jungkook x female!reader
Premise: In which Jungkook accepts a bet from Taehyung to date the first girl that walks into the lecture hall and realizes that he bit off more than he could chew when starts to catch feelings. Now, he has to suffer the consequences of being an idiot.
Commission Request:Â @altus-gensâ
Word Count:Â 9,203 words
â
It's not like Jungkook planned to be one of the most sought after person in Yonsei University, but it somehow turned out to be that way. Truthfully, he basks in it, loves that so many people idolize him for doing the bare minimum. He was handsome after all and had a level of charm that surpassed the need to have a good personality.Â
He got into such a prestigious school through an athletic scholarship for Taekwondo, managed to convince his professors to pass him when he put in minimal effort, and there was no shortage of girls to call when he was feeling lonely for a night. He was the stereotypical 'it' boy on campus and maybe if he was a little bit smarter, he'd have a better choice of friends than the six idiots he always hangs around with.
"How about this," Taehyung starts, gum in his mouth, "the first girl who walks in, you have to successfully get in her pants."
Jungkook rolls his eyes. They were in a damn lecture hall and yet Taehyung had no shame bringing up sex. Typical.
âThis again, bro?â Hoseok sighed. âArenât you sick of bribing us to do weird shit for you?â
Taehyung smirked.
âNot at all, actually.â
"For how much?" Namjoon cut in, probably curious for the price point Taehyung would arrange this time. He was fired from his job just a week ago and could really use the money. "I'll do it if itâs enough to pay for my rent this month."
Taehyung scoffs, although knowing full well he could pay for all of the boysâ tuitions combined if he wanted to. He was the resident rich bachelor on campus after all.
"I'll pay it for a full year and your utility bills too if you're really down," Taehyung flaunts. "You just gotta have proof you actually managed to do it."
"Dude that's gross," Seokjin chimes in, "No one wants to send you proof of us doing it with a random girl."
Taehyung shakes his head.
"No, no, no," he says, clicking his tongue. "I phrased it incorrectly. Iâm not a fucking pervert."
âYou got us fooled,â Jimin mutters.Â
Taehyung leans in closer to the six boys and even Jungkook finds himself getting intrigued. Admittedly, he was a little curious considering he hasn't had a proper meal in weeks. He could really use having some extra cash for food without worrying about rent.
"You have to date the girl for like three months," Taehyung says seriously, "and I'll consider that as enough proof that you managed to actually do it since I know you guys are too horny to wait any longer than that to fuck."
They all look at Taehyung in disgust, Jimin even opting to hit him in the back of the head for being so vulgar. To be fair, they were all thinking of accepting Taehyung's bet regardless. It's not like they were new to leading girls on anyway.
"You gotta pay me more than that to fuck just any girl," Yoongi says, yawning in the process. He seemed the least likely to take up Taehyung's offer, but he was still game depending on the person.
"Then how would you feel," Taehyung starts, "if I told you guys that I could get you priority registration for next quarter."
The boys, even the ones who weren't interested, were now listening to Taehyung's every word.
"You mean," Hoseok gulps, "I could finally get that fucking Organic Chemistry class I need to get out of this hell hole?!"
Taehyung shrugs, an ominous smile on his face.
"Just the perk of having parents who have connections," Taehyung replies. âIâll only accept one of you guys to do it though. I donât wanna have you all fucking the same girl- thatâd be weird.â
Hoseok rolls his eyes.
âYeah, thatâs whatâs weird about this,â he grumbles.
âSo are you guys in or not?â Taehyung asks, his patience growing thin.
He lays back on his chair, a smoldering look on his face when they all nod. They were desperate for money after all.
"The next girl that walks in will be the subject of this bet and whoever calls dibs on her first will be the one to woo her,â he says with a stretch of his arms. âGood luck boys.â
They all turned to look at the door and Jungkook watches silently as guy after guy walks into the lecture hall. No girl yet.Â
Jungkook was hoping, from the bottom of his heart, that no familiar faces would walk in. If he had to deal with a past fling, heâd have to back out immediately. He never dealt with exes very well.
The guys are at the edge of their seats, praying for a cute girl to walk through that didnât already know about their horrible reputation. They were looking for an easy target, someone that could fall for their charms almost immediately.
And then, you walk in. You were clad in sweats with earphones on, rushing toward the front row seats of the lecture hall. You were chatting with your friends, yawning several times throughout your conversation with them. Jungkook couldnât help but smirk. There was nothing special about you to point out, in fact, you were just like everyone else. Strangely enough, he found that the most intriguing part about you.
"Nope, nope, nope," Jimin shakes his head repeatedly. "Can't, won't, never will. Sorry, Tae."
They all stare at him in confusion.
"What the fuck, what's wrong with her?" Yoongi asks, crossing his arms over his chest. Jimin faces away from you, not wanting to look at you any longer.
"No, nothing," there seems to be a blush forming on his face. He was hiding something.
âBullshit,â Taehyung furrows his brows. âBro, if sheâs crazy and one of us gets our dick bitten off, weâre all blaming you, so spit it out.â
Jimin just sighs.
"She's been giving me Professor Kwonâs notes for the past few weeks,â he starts, much to the confusion of his friends. âHer name is [Y/N]. It'll be really mean if I go after her, especially since she and I are kind of friends. Plus, I really need to pass this class. I failed last quarter..."
The boys groan. Jimin was no fun.
"She's not my type so I don't think I could really get into it either," Seokjin states, no longer interested in the prize after Jiminâs confession. Heâs been banking off of your notes from him too.Â
"Arenât we all old enough to know not to mess with peopleâs feelings?" Hoseok sighs.
They roll their eyes at Hoseokâs statement. Who was he trying to fool with the nice guy act? He probably fooled around with girls just as much as the other guys did.
"Yeah, Iâm backing out," Yoongi agrees, "and she hates me so there's that."
They all look at him questioningly and he puts his hands up in the air from their gazes.
"What? I just realized who sheâs talking to down there.â
He pointed at a girl discreetly, but no one seemed to recognize her.
âHer friend and I dated,â Yoongi continues, âand I broke up with her over text and blocked her without letting her respond. That whole friend group is pretty much pissed at me. I'd rather not have to deal with them again."
The guys look disapprovingly at him. Breaking up over text was harsh, but probably not the worst thing Yoongi has done to his exes.
"You're actually a piece of shit," Namjoon sighs. "I really do need my rent paid though..."
Jungkook nods in agreement. It's been almost impossible to balance Taekwondo practices, college papers, and working a part-time job all at once. If he could somehow find a way to quit his job for a while and get priority registration for classes, then he doesn't mind getting his hands a little dirty in the process. Plus, you were cute enough and he's sure you weren't too difficult to befriend as long as he doesn't mention Yoongi in any conversations.
"I'm in," Jungkook chides, finally saying something after such a long period of silence.
They all look at him with disbelief in their eyes. Jungkook was never the one to partake in Taehyung's bets. In fact, he was the one usually ridiculing them for participating. He must have been really desperate if he was willing to do it.
"I mean, it's all yours if you want," Namjoon replies, "I don't wanna turn it into a competition.â
âDonât worry dude,â Jungkook fist bumps Namjoon, âIâll quit my job and refer you for it.â
They nod at each other as if they were on the same wavelength.Â
âI knew I could rely on you,â Namjoon says, faking tears from his eyes. The boys groan in response.
âAlright,â Taehyung claps his hands. âIn exchange for providing me some mindless entertainment and going out with [Y/N], you will get your rent paid for the rest of the year and get early registration for next quarter. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.â
Jimin shakes his head.
âI donât know about this, guys...â
Jungkook doesnât hear him and instead takes one last look at you. You catch him in the corner of your eye and you canât help but feel flustered at his serious expression.Â
âShould be easy enough,â he mutters to himself and turns his gaze back onto his friend.
âSo we have a deal?â Taehyung asks.
He smirks, shaking the outreached hand Taehyung held out for him. He steals another glance at you and he finds you staring right back. He gives you a wink.
âDeal.â
â
Jungkook slid into the seat next to yours in the campus canteen, his eyes filled with determination. His posture was laid-back, but it was a little too obvious that he was trying to act like he didnât care.
âHi,â he greets you in a breathy tone- girls loved it when he spoke with his breathy tone.
âHi?â
Youâd been sensing that someone was staring at you during the lecture, but you thought that was just the paranoia that came from being near such an intimidating group of guys. Turns out, you should always trust your instincts.
Jungkook had a boyish grin on his face that made you want to smile back but also stare at him in disgust.
âI heard you help Jimin with Professor Kwonâs notes,â he whispers mischievously. âIâm struggling myself, actually...â
Not really, but you know. This was the easiest tactic to approach you- tackle your similarities. You nod understandingly at his words, not quite getting that he was flirting with you.
âYeah I can send you the Google Drive folder,â you comply, taking your phone out. âBut you canât let Professor Kwon know or else heâll flip out. He doesnât want people to have the notes for some odd reason...â
You trail off but Jungkook just scoffs. You seemed clueless.
âThatâs not what I necessarily meant,â he says, a little shy this time. âI need a tutor.â
You furrow your brows at him.
âYeah, youâre gonna have to pay me for that,â you say seriously. The last time you offered to tutor someone for free, they ended up blaming you for their failing grade and screaming about it all over social media. You needed money to compensate for that emotional trauma. âMicroeconomics is hard to teach.â
âWell thankfully Iâm a good student,â Jungkook teases. You stare at him with a deadpan face.
âYou wouldnât need my help if you were a good student,â you say blankly, standing up from your seat. âMy hourly rate is 20,000 Won. Take it or leave it.â
Jungkookâs eye twitched. He had to spend his money to get Taehyungâs money? Well, the payout would be worth it in the end anyway. He reaches out a hand to you.
âIf youâd have me,â he says cheekily, looking up at you. You take his hand in yours and maybe for a second you felt your heart skip a beat, but that was soon over when you let go of him.
âYou have sweaty hands,â you say straightforwardly. You wipe your hand on your shirt and he coughs awkwardly at how unresponsive you truly were. Didnât Jimin say you were a nice person?Â
You take your barely-touched lunch tray and walk away from his pensive figure.
âWait, can I get your number?â he yells. You donât look back.
âAlright, whatever,â he mumbles to himself. âIâll just ask Jimin, I guess.â
Without even a second glance, you disappear from his sight. He sits back on his chair, heaving out a deep sigh. Sure, this wasnât the first girl that didnât care much for his advances, but you didnât even crack a smile or anything. This is going to be harder than he thought...
â
âShe hates me,â Jungkook whines to Seokjin as they walked down the university halls to their next shared class. âYesterday, I went up to her to get her number and I left with a fucking debt. Does that make any sense?â
âWell, maybe you shouldnât have taken on the bet,â Seokjin yawned. âNamjoon would have wooed her with his poetry by now or some shit.â
Jungkook rolls his eyes.
âYeah, Iâm sure sheâs interested in a dude who canât even put on a hat without causing an earthquake.â
Seokjin smacked him on the back.
âAt least heâd have the guts to say no to having a fucking tutor,â Seokjin replies. âYou dug your own grave, man. Now roll around in it.â
âDo you want me to succeed or not?âÂ
âI want you to not be a fucking dumbass, Jungkook,â Seokjin sighs. âDo you really wanna make your reputation worse than it already is?â
Just as Jungkook was about to reply, he catches a glimpse of you walking farther ahead in the university courtyard. You were a bit far but heâs sure he could make it if he hurries. He smacks the binder he held in his right hand onto Seokjinâs chest.
âYo, can you cover for me,â he asks hastily and Seokjin stares at him with a concerned gaze. He watches as Jungkook takes off his backpack and leaves it on the ground. Jungkook looked about ready to break out in a sprint.
âWhat the fuck, why?â Seokjin questions.
âJust tell the TA Iâm out for a bit,â he says in response, already running ahead to catch up to you. âIâm winning this fucking bet or Iâll die trying.â
Jin stands still, mouth agape. Jungkook really left him with his backpack and binder just to talk to you. He shakes his head. âI need to make new friends,â he thought to himself, picking up the discarded backpack and walking in the direction of the class Jungkook was planning to be late to.
You were walking with your earphones on, not noticing someone sprinting at you in record speed. You only turn your music off when Jungkook stops in front of you, his hands on his knees. He was panting heavily.
âHey,â he says through deep breaths. You nod at him awkwardly.
âWhy are you running?â
âI wanted to... catch up to you... and I thought... you were closer... but the run here... took... fucking... forever,â he says breathlessly. âWater. I need water.â
You take out a bottle from your tote bag hastily, handing it to him. He took it into his hands, grazing your fingers a bit. As he was about to start chugging it, you halted him.
âWaterfall,â you say curtly- you were still planning to drink out of it later after all.Â
He nods in response, a drop of sweat cascading the side of his neck. After he was done, there was practically no water left anyway. âIâm gonna have to refill it myself,â you thought begrudgingly. You stuff it back into your bag and wait until his breaths become more even.
âA bit out of shape, huh?â
He scoffs and gives you a glare, clearly offended.
âI actually have a Taekwondo scholarship, you know that? I just wasnât warmed up and Iâm naturally sweaty so itâs not like-â
You laugh a little.
âIâm joking,â you say, a smile adorning your face. He feels his face turn red and he canât help but purse his lips out of embarrassment. Jeon Jungkook couldnât take a fucking joke.
âO-oh,â he says shyly, avoiding your gaze. Why was he acting more like an idiot than usual? You hear the chiming bells of the university tower and stare at your phone to check the time.
âDonât you have a class?â you ask him. His eyes widen and soon he was dashing off again. He turns around mid-run, jogging backward to face you.
âMy number is 06-1313-9197,â he yells, loud enough for the other late students in the courtyard to hear. Most of them roll their eyes, knowing that Jungkook was flirting with another girl yet again. Youâre embarrassed by the amount of attention heâs getting, but punch his number on your phone anyway.
âText me,â he shouts. âIâll always respond to you.â
Now it was your turn to be flustered.
â
"Thatâs wrong,â you say, reaching over to Jungkookâs notebook and marking a large âXâ on his paper. âYouâre not supposed to apply that function for this problem...â
Jungkook stared at you with a tired face. He didnât think he was too bad at the mathematical aspect of Microeconomics, but it seemed like it was your lifeâs mission to make him look like an idiot. Of course, you caught every mistake that he made- even the ones he made on purpose just to see if you were really paying attention to his work and not bamboozling him.
âMy bad,â he mutters, copying down the same problem on a different sheet of paper. He didnât even get a chance to make a move on you today- not like he could make any big developments in the campus library anyway.
âIs it like this?â he asks, tilting his notebook to face you. You take a hard look at it and nod.
âYeah, just make sure you know the difference between these two formulas, or else youâll mess up on the midterm,â you say thoughtfully.
This was your fourth or fifth tutoring session by now? Truth be told he wasnât really counting. Each moment he spent with you kind of blended together and he didnât quite know if that was a bad thing or not.
âYou know youâre not even struggling,â you say, your nose buried deep in your textbook. âItâs not like youâre completely clueless like Jimin. It seems like youâre wasting money on stuff you already know.â
Jungkook laughs heartily, getting shushed by the people around him. He really was stupid, wasnât he?
âYeah, well, it was just an excuse to hang out with the pretty girl in class, you know?â he says as nonchalantly as he could. You stare at him for a second and he swears he feels his body freeze over. If looks could kill...
You just shook your head with a click of your tongue and got back to reading.
âThe pretty girl in class is most definitely not me,â you grumble. âIf you wanted, I couldâve given you Soobinâs number without all the added hassle of you trying to come talk to me-â
âWoah, woah, woah,â Jungkook stops you from saying anything else. He looked worriedly at your face. âI donât even know who the hell Soobin is, why would I want her number?â
You look at him and finally, you chuckle. âShe really does have a nice smile,â Jungkook thought to himself. It would be nice if he could make you laugh more often and not just on rare occasions like this.
âYouâre saying you donât know Yoongiâs ex?â you tease slightly. You were finally letting your guard down with him and Jungkook smirked. One wall down, another million more to go.
âBold of you to assume that I know any of Yoongiâs exes,â he says and you scoff. âHeâs an asshole when it comes to dating.â
You roll your eyes.
âIsnât that your whole friend group?â
He pouts. You knew of his reputation after all. Jungkook thought he could get away playing a nice boy act, but it didn't seem possible considering your knowledge of him. A little white lie couldnât hurt in the end.
âNot me,â he replies. âI choose my relationships pretty carefully.â
You take a glance at him before jotting down a few more words in your notebook.
âWell,â you start off, a little shy to admit what you were about to say, âI guess we both have that in common.â
He tilts his head rather cutely out of confusion.
âWhat do you mean?â
You cough awkwardly, adjusting yourself on one of the libraryâs notoriously squeaky seats.
âIâve never really had a boyfriend before,â you say quietly. His eyes bulge out from their sockets.
âYouâre lying.â
âNo, Iâm not,â you say, a hint of amusement in your voice.
âLike, youâve never been on a date or what?â
âI have,â you say hesitantly. âIâve been on a few but they just never led into anything serious. I was pretty focused on studying in high school so there werenât really any opportunities to get involved with someone. Plus, the guys who pursued me werenât very... attractive.â
Jungkook laughs loudly again, much to the dismay of the other students in the library. He liked that you didnât beat around the bush- it was easier to talk to you that way.
âAnd me?â he asks teasingly, laying his head on his arm that was atop the desk. He looks up at you with that boyish grin of his that gave you small butterflies in your stomach. You stare back at him, but only for a second. You ignore his watchful gaze and continue to flip through your textbook, trying to find the passage you last read. He keeps his eyes locked on you and you just couldnât resist.
âWhat about you?â you ask, feigning ignorance.
âAm I attractive?â he replies as bluntly as he could. You stop your movements and he chuckles.
âYouâre... cute,â you settle on that word. Cute. It was safe enough to not be misinterpreted too much. He sits up straight with a satisfied smirk. He takes his pen and draws a heart on the side of your notebook. He winks at you when you stare back at him, puzzled by his actions.
âYou are too.â
â
âTell me youâre lying,â Soobin whines disappointingly, shaking your shoulders. You were trying to eat lunch undisturbed in one of the campus cafes but your two friends seem hell-bent on making you suffer. âThereâs no way youâre friends with Jungkook.â
You sigh, attempting to rid yourself of Soobinâs grasp but to no avail.
âHeâs an asshole, [Y/N],â Gaeun sighs disappointingly. âI thought you were a feminist, why the fuck do you even tolerate him?â
You glare at her for a split second before going back to prying Soobin off you.
âJungkook has no respect for women or himself. It shows in how many shitty friends he has,â Soobin chants, still clearly bitter that Yoongi dumped her.
You shake your head, rolling your shoulders back when she finally lets go of you.
âJungkookâs not even as bad as you guys describe him,â you reply. âHeâs actually been really sweet.â
The girls take a glance at each other and burst in a fit of laughter.
âYou must be out of your damn mind,â Gaeun cries. You cower slightly at their words. Itâs not like you said anything that controversial, did you?
Soobin slaps Gaeun on the shoulder when she realizes how your face had soured. It wasnât right to judge you for your choice of friends so harshly, no matter how horrid said person was.
âAs long as it doesnât go past friends,â she says soothingly, but that only made you feel worse.
âWhy?â you ask a little hesitantly. âDoes Jungkook sleep around?â
Gaeun nods, a worrying glimpse in her eyes.
âHe's not exactly the type to kiss and stay...â
You nod understandingly. You werenât too clueless to believe Jungkook when he said he was âcarefulâ on who he dated. As long as you knew the boundaries that came with being his tutor, everything should be fine... right?
âDonât worry guys,â you say with determination. âIâm not the type to get played-â
âOf course you are!â Gaeun sighed. âGuys gravitate towards girls like you who lack experience. Jungkookâs a fucking weirdo, of course, heâs gonna try and-â
â[Y/N]!â a shout from across the cafe screams. That distracted you from the various insults Gaeun was spewing from her mouth. You get that she was being critical of Jungkook, but did she have to speak ill of you too?
You look around and catch Jungkook waving frantically at you. He stops at your table and takes a mere glance at your friends before setting his focus on you.Â
âDo you have time to help me out today? One of the papers for my writing class-â
âYou tutor him in writing now, too?!â Soobin exclaimed, mouth agape. â[Y/N], what the fuck.â
You try to ignore your friendâs overreaction, a little disheartened when Jungkook looked hurt at their words. He had started to shy away from them as if he didnât feel welcomed.
âNevermind, Iâll just ask you later-â
âActually,â you say standing up. âIâm free now.â
The two girls look back and forth between you and Jungkook, noticing the stars in your eyes when you looked at him. They did not like the thought of you two together at all.
âBut [Y/N]-âÂ
You ignored their words and start to walk away, hoping Jungkook would come catch up to you. You didnât quite know why their insistence on him being a bad person had made your blood boil. It wasnât like you werenât aware of his flirtatious tendencies, but hearing from your friends that you shouldnât pursue a guy that you liked-
You stopped in your tracks and feel heat climb up your face. Like.
No way you admitted that just now. Thereâs no possible way you actually like-
âHey, wait up,â Jungkook pants, his hand touching your shoulder. âWhy do you walk so fast for-â
He sees your shocked face and turns you towards him, his hands on your shoulder similar to how Soobin had shaken you just earlier. Except this time, it felt comforting. It made your whole body feel warm as if you were coated with a weighted blanket. Was he always this gorgeous?
âWhatâs wrong?â he asks, inspecting your face closely. âYou look like you just saw a ghost.â
âN-nothing,â you swipe his hands away and rush out the door of the cafe. He smirks at how flustered you look, maybe he did have an effect on you after all.
Jungkook takes a last glimpse at the two girls who sat in their seats, staring at him disapprovingly. He raised an eyebrow at them and shoved his hands in the pocket of his jeans, following after you. âTheyâll try to get in the way,â Jungkook thought to himself, âbut theyâre already too late.â
The girls clenched their fist out of annoyance. He was definitely trying to get on their nerves.
âThereâs something strange about whatâs happening,â Gaeun mutters.
âTheyâre up to something,â Soobin agrees. âI donât trust him at all.â
â
Itâs been a week since you last spoke to your friends, not really wanting to read the messages they bombarded you with about how you should stay for away from Jungkook. It was hard to take any of their advice seriously when they were just badmouthing him without reason. They based all their opinions on him from rumors around the school and Soobin always felt the need to compare him to Yoongi even though they both had very different personalities. Well, at least to you they seemed very different.
Frankly, you were sick of their nagging and just turned off notifications from that group chat altogether. Instead of sitting next to them during Microeconomics, you opted to sit with Jungkook in the back of the lecture hall instead of at the front with them. Jungkook had abandoned his own rowdy friend group to sit with you and flashed them quick smirks and winks whenever theyâd stare at him.Â
Slowly, Jungkook had started to become a constant in your day to day life. You walked to class with him, ate with him, played video games with him. It was sort of strange how used to you were of his presence, like you had known him your whole life. Jungkook snaps you out of your thoughts when he starts humming a little tune.
He draws a heart in the corner of your notes- which you find he has a habit of doing whenever he wanted to say something stupid.
âI donât get what heâs saying,â he pouts cutely. âItâs like heâs speaking a foreign language.â
You shake your head, not paying him any mind.
âWell maybe if you actually paid attention,â you mutter softly. He scoots closer to you and you feel yourself stiffen.
âBut youâre tutoring me later on anyway,â he says teasingly. âI get more bang for my buck if I know less.â
âBang for my buck,â you scoff. âWho even says that anymore?â
He points at himself nonchalantly and you canât help but crack a smile as you continue to focus on the professorâs words. You donât even cower under his gaze like you usually do when he stares at you with those puppy dog eyes.
âWhat do you want?â you ask, finally caving when Professor Kwon adjusted something in his PowerPoint slides. He smiles.
âI want to hold your hand,â Jungkook replies and you could feel your palms clam up. His flirtatious comments increased as time passed and you didnât really quite know whether he was just teasing you or if he was genuinely interested in you. You werenât very good at taking a hint.
âIâm writing right now...â you reply, slightly skipping a beat in your note-taking. He really was the ultimate distraction, wasnât he?
Jungkook pouts sadly, but you can tell an idea pops up in his mind when his eyes start to glimmer. He sits his hand on your thigh and you jolt back from the touch of his hand on the material of your jeans. He pulls away slightly, scared that he had made you uncomfortable.
âI just want to put my arm around you,â he asks innocently. âAre you okay with that?â
You calm yourself down and nod. For goodness sake, you werenât a child- why did a hand on your thigh make you so nervous for?!
âYeah,â you say, a little more confident despite your nerves. âGo ahead.â
He smiles softly at you and connects his hand to your waist, pulling you a little closer to him. It was comforting, not at all meant to be more than just a public display of affection. He finds himself getting lost in the lecture along with you, his hand playing with a loose thread on your shirt through it all. He didnât even look at his friends who were teasing him on the other side of the class or your own friends shooting daggers into his being.
At that moment, it was you, him, and Professor Kwon giving out a lecture that had half of the students already asleep. He smiled at how diligently you worked and how your breath would quicken when Professor Kwon switched the slides without a warning. It was the little idiosyncrasies like this that caught his attention, the kind of things that made him wonder where youâd been all his life.
The smile on Jungkookâs face disappeared when he came to that realization.
Fuck.
â
Jungkook rolls around the grass while you sit on the picnic blanket you two had set up. Midterms were over and grades would soon be announced. He wanted a much-needed distraction from the monotony of constant studying and you had suggested a small picnic in a nearby park. Of course, he agreed.Â
âWeâre free,â he groans. âFinally free.â
Jungkook stares hungrily at the assortment of food you had laid out for the two of you. He tries to reach a hand out to grab a bottle of lemonade but ultimately fails in the end. You giggle at his silliness, popping a grape in your mouth.
âYouâre welcome by the way,â you say jokingly. âDonât think you couldâve done it without me.â
He sits up to face you, bowing deeply as if you were a traditional empress.
âThank you,â he says, imitating a Joseon accent. He was watching far too many historical dramas recently.
âYouâre embarrassing me,â you say, attempting to straighten him out. âSit up.â
He complies, only after a few pulls from you, with a toothy grin on his face.
âSeriously, I donât think I could have gone through the first few weeks of Professor Kwonâs class without your notes,â he sighs, opening his mouth to signal that he wanted to be fed. You roll your eyes but placed a grape between his teeth anyway.
âYou have hands, you should know how to use them,â you mumble shyly.
You move to take another grape for yourself, but he grabs your wrist before you could. He intertwines his fingers into yours.
âWhy should I when my hands are holding yours~,â he says in a sing-song voice. It made you want to throw up at how cheesy he was, but you couldnât help but laugh along as he cringed at his own words. When was it so normal for him to hold your hands like this?
âYou canât go one sentence without flirting, can you?â you sigh, feigning annoyance.
âNot when it comes to you,â he replies, but you could feel sincerity laced between his laughter. âI canât resist flirting when it makes you all giggly like this.â
You purse your lips to prevent yourself from smiling too brightly. Jungkook and you were somewhat past the point of being just friends by now, but you were too much of a coward to label what you had with him. What if there was a chance that he was just leading you on?
Jungkook saw your furrowed brows. He rubbed circles on your hands with his thumbs to ease you.
âAm I making you uncomfortable?â he asks softly, about to let go.
âNo-â you say a little too quickly, clasping him closer to you. Your faces were inches apart now, much nearer than they were before.
âD-donât,â you attempt to say but youâre tongue tangled as you looked at his lips. He certainly does have nice lips...
âDonât what?â he asks in a lowly voice. You start to look around you- anywhere that wasnât him. The park was relatively empty but it still felt embarrassing to say anything too loud.
âD-donât let me go,â you say, your eyes on the picnic blanket rather than on him. His gaze was too intense to look at. Jungkook feels his heart clench. You were cute, too cute.Â
He shouldnât be feeling this attached to you, but he couldnât help it. Everything you did, every word that came out of your mouth- it had him wanting more from you than he could possibly handle. It was dangerous to feel this way.
âWhy donât you want me to let you go?â he asks nervously. He too was anxious for the answer. If you were to confess to Jungkook right now, heâd get the first part of the bet done, but thereâd be no turning back after your confession. He would have to lie to you from now on.Â
Jungkook closed his eyes, chanting to himself that itâs okay to like you for a little while, just as long as he doesnât get too attached in the end. He needed the money, he really did.
âBecause,â you start off with a sigh, staring at him now with glossy eyes. âI like you.â
Jungkook feels like he could do ten backflips in one go and it wouldnât even drain him of energy. The smile on his face was huge, his eyes curling into that half-moon shape that made you swoon.Â
Jungkook was relieved and if the boys asked, it was because heâd only have to date you for three months. Heâd die before heâd admit to them that he caught feelings because Taehyung, as generous as he was with his bets, would never give Jungkook the money unless he cleanly broke up with you. It was one of his unspoken rules.
âI like you too.â
You smile at him and he canât help but pull you close, his lips hovering over yours.
âCan I?â
You nod.
His lips graze yours slightly but he pushes a bit closer when he feels you lean into his touch. He kisses you again, and again, and again, but you pull away when his tongue had started to prod at your lips. Your face was flushed,  embarrassed to be doing this in such a public place.
âMaybe later?â you say, panting slightly. He gives you a cheeky grin and nods.
âAt my place?â he asks with a wink.
You hesitate, letting go of his arms, twiddling with your fingers. You wanted to set clear labels on what your relationship was. You didn't want to accidentally get caught up in a friends-with-benefits situation and be all shocked when Jungkook ends up breaking your heart.
âSo weâre dating now, right?â you ask cautiously, looking at him with a worried glint in your eyes.Â
Jungkookâs mouth opens to speak but no words come out. He thinks a little harder about the whole situation... He was getting good grades, spending some quality time with a girl heâs clearly attracted to, and having his rent paid off all in one? He was killing three birds with one stone. It shouldnât be too big of a problem to catch feelings for now, right? Itâs not like any of his relationships lasted longer than a couple of months anyway.
He nods, cupping your face lightly.
âYeah,â he hesitates. âWeâre dating.â
Jungkook wasnât aware, as he gives you another light peck, that it wasnât possible to have his cake and eat it too.
â
It happens naturally. You coming in and out of his apartment that he shared with his friends, you tangling your legs with his underneath the sheets of his bed. It was hard to imagine a life where you didnât wake up with him by your side. You were so wrapped up in his touch, so wrapped up in the sweet words he would whisper into your ears, that you spent most of your time with him.Â
You werenât really up to date with your friends anymore and he didnât really hang out with his either. Jungkook shared an apartment with Seokjin and Hoseok, and so the only contact he had with the other boys was when they visited those two. He shouldâve known to take you back home when all the boys bombarded into his living room, where you sat with him watching TV.Â
âThe lovebirds are at it again,â Taehyung coos, a mysterious glint in his eyes. âThe honeymoon stage hasnât passed quite yet, has it?â
Jungkook chucks one of the sofaâs throw pillows at his friend, obviously annoyed. What the fuck did Taehyung think he was doing?
âQuit it,â he mutters. You were sitting next to Jungkook, his arm around your shoulder protectively
âWhy?â Yoongi yawns. âAnyone can see how incredibly in love you two are.â
You didnât quite like the smirk he gave the two of you. This didnât feel like regular teasing... it felt like he knew something that you weren't aware of. It made you curl your toes out of fear.
âGuys,â Jimin says calmly. âStop it.â
The boys shrug their shoulders as if they said nothing wrong.
âWeâre just pointing out how cute they are together,â Taehyung noted, âItâs not like weâre lying to her or anything-â
âYeah, or leading her on or anything like that-â
âI think I should go,â you say hurriedly, uncomfortable at how tense the atmosphere was. Jungkook was clenching his fists, about ready to start a fight any second. Knowing his strength, you didnât want anyone to walk around with a bruised eye because you couldnât handle a few jokes- if thatâs what Taehyung and Yoongi think theyâre making. Harmless jokes.
âIâll take you home,â Jungkook announces, standing up with you. Namjoon pulls him down back on the couch.
âLet someone else take her,â he says sternly. âWe need to talk.â
Jungkook was about to protest until you spoke up.
âI can get home by myself just fine.â
âHoseok and I can take you,â Seokjin insists, pulling the unassuming man up with him. âWe donât mind.â
Hoseok gives you a lopsided smile and you return an equally awkward one.
âOkay, thatâs settled,â you say, clapping your hands. You walk over to Jungkook. âIâll text you later okay?â
He nods, grabbing your hand and kissing it lightly. Yoongi scoffs and Taehyung glares at Jungkook. The dirty glances they were giving each other... You didnât like it at all.
âLet me know when you get home, okay?â
âOkay.â
â
The walk to your apartment was unnecessarily awkward, Hoseok and Seokjin were talking too much and you talked too little. You tried to respond to their every quip, but you werenât in the mood for chatting after that whole mess.
âYou okay, [Y/N]?â Hoseok asks worriedly. âDonât think too much about what those idiots said back there, theyâre like that all the time.â
You nod, keeping your eyes on the ground. There was something chipping away at the back of your mind, something you wanted to get out of your chest.
âWould you say Jungkook and Yoongi act similarly?â you hesitate to say, âlike with relationships?â
The two boys exchanged nervous glances at each other.
âWell, it depends,â Seokjin starts, choosing his words specifically. âWhat about relationships specifically?â
âDoes he...,â you start off, not knowing the right phrase without sounding too harsh, âplay around with girls? Like how Yoongi played around with Soobin?â
Hoseok looked at you with a raised brow.
âWhoâs Soobin?â he asks before getting punched in the arm by Seokjin. âWhat the fuck bro!â
Seokjin clears his throat.
âWhat Hoseok meant to say,â he starts, glaring at his friend a little too harshly, âis that Yoongi never really introduces us to his girlfriends. You, on the other hand, are one of the few girls Jungkook actually took the time to invite over.â
âYeah,â Hoseok chimes in. âHeâs not exactly the most chivalrous, but he wouldnât ghost someone like Yoongi did.â
Somehow their words werenât enough to satisfy you. There was still something off in the conversation that transpired between the three boys- as if they were all keeping something from you. You stopped abruptly in front of your apartment complex, finally making eye-contact with the two boys.
âDo you think...â you start, a slight quiver in your voice, âthat Jungkook is cheating on me?â
The two boys let out a deep breath that you didnât even notice they were holding and laughed joyously together. They cackled as if what you said was the funniest thing they had ever heard in their life. Seokjin wipes a stray tear from his eye.
âY-you think Jungkookâs cheating on you?!â
You nod, a little embarrassed at their reaction. Hoseok shakes his head, sighing out of his laughter.
âTrust me,â Hoseok starts, his breath evening out. âJungkook would never cheat on you.â
You start to giggle along with them until a serious look suddenly takes over Seokjinâs features. He faces you fully.
âBut listen [Y/N],â he starts. âIf Jungkook hurts you, just know that he does love you. Like, undeniably. He does.â
âAnd weâre not just saying that as his friends either,â Hoseok continues. âWe know how heâs like and we can tell that he really does like you.â
You smile at the two, feeling a small sense of comfort at their words.
âThank you, guys. I mean it.â
They pat you on the back.
âAnything for Jungkookâs girlfriend.â
â
You walk through the campus cafeteria, eyes searching for a free table that you can sit alone in. Jungkook had Taekwondo practice so there would be no lovey-dovey feeding time with him.Â
Heâs been a lot tenser since the living room incident (which was already a week ago) and it seemed like he got more agitated as the days passed. Not towards you directly, but heâd always mutter slight insults whenever Yoongi or Taehyung passed by. It made you worried that you had done something to possibly drive a wrench into their relationship without even knowing it.
âWhatever,â you thought, âIâll talk about it with him when he comes over later.â
You arenât able to find a seat, though, when you feel dainty fingers wrap around  your elbow to pull you back lightly.
â[Y/N],â Gaeun says in a low voice. âWe need to talk.â
It wasnât like you had been ignoring them deliberately, though that was definitely the case at the start. You just couldnât find the time to really hang out with them as much as you used to since you were with Jungkook most of the time. It was like that too when Gaeun and Soobin were in relationships, so you never really felt bad about doing it yourself.
âYeah sure. I miss you guys,â you smile at her, but she doesnât return it back.
âCome with me.â
Gaeun leads you to a table near the back of the room, where Soobin was sat up against the wall with her own tray of food. You sit down in front of her and Gaeun takes the seat next to Soobin.
âGood, youâre here,â Soobin says, apprehension laced in her voice. âWe need to talk about Jungkook.â
You roll your eyes.
âNot this again-â
â[Y/N],â Gaeun warns. âListen.â
You keep quiet, a little intimidated of how scary their expressions were.
âItâs all a bet,â Soobin says sternly.
You furrow your brows at her. She tends to speak vaguely when you needed her to be specific the most.
âWhat?â
âItâs a bet, [Y/N],â Gaeun repeats for her. âJungkookâs only dating you because Taehyung said heâd pay his rent off if he did.â
You clench your fist on the table. How could they sit there and spew lies so easily?
âWhat are you guys-â
âThose dicks do this all the time,â Soobin rambles. âThey play stupid games with girls just to fucking break their hearts later on and-â
âI donât believe you,â you say confidently. âJungkook would never do that to me. Besides-â
Gaeun didnât even wait until you stopped talking to play a recording on her phone. The voices were familiar enough to recognize.
âSo youâre telling me that Jungkookâs just fucking around with [Y/N] because he wants priority registration? You have to be fucking joking...â
You could tell from the sound of the personâs voice that it was Soobin. It sounded like she was putting on her clothes.
âOf course not. Heâs doing it for priority registration and his rent getting paid for the rest of the year. Iâm not joking when I say Tae goes big with his bets. He likes to flex his money on us like that.â
Your jaw drops at the sound of the manâs voice. It was Yoongi. You were sure of it.
âAnd you guys donât feel bad? Like at all?â
âWhy should we? Jungkookâs planning to break up with her next week anyway so she doesnât catch feelings for too long. Itâs not like they were gonna last past the three-month deal...â
Gaeun paused the recording when she sees you bite your lip so harshly that blood starts to surface. This didnât feel right. It didnât feel real.
âI hooked up with him last weekend,â Soobin admits, shame written all over her face. âHe was spewing stuff about Jungkook spending all his time with you and not really hanging out with the boys like he used to.â
âYou still hook up with Yoongi? After all he did to you?â you ask, not meaning to come off aggressive but undoubtedly did.
âLook,â Gauen starts, taking the heat off of Soobin. âShe was just drunk and looking to have fun. I was with her that night and I was talking to Namjoon. He...â
Gaeun trailed off, but you were sick of it. Sick of being kept in the dark from something you shouldâve known all along.
âWhat?â
âH-he told me that all the boys were getting tired of him playing around with you,â she says, twiddling with her fingers. âHeâs supposed to break up with you today. Some of the guys think heâs just prolonging it to fuck with you and theyâre getting really annoyed-â
You bite back the tears threatening to spill over any minute now.
âHoseok and Seokjin told me to trust Jungkook. They said he wouldnât hurt me-â
âDid they also tell you that their rent gets paid too if Jungkook pulled through with the bet?â Soobin replies angrily. âBecause they live together, donât they?â
You open your mouth but no sound comes out- just a small whimper. Your lips start to quiver and you bite your lip again to calm yourself down. When you had collected your thoughts, you glared up at the two girls.
âAnd you didnât tell me this earlier?â
Soobin scoffed.
âYou were fucking ignoring us too, how were we supposed to tell you?â
âStill it wouldnât have killed you to-â
âDonât take your anger out on us,â Gaeun warns, her finger pointing at you. âJungkook is the one to blame. We told you from the start that he was bad news.â
You pursed your lips and Gaeun put her finger down, feeling guilty that she lashed out on you when obviously you were just processing the information.
âHey, Iâm sorry-â
âWhy me?â you ask with teary eyes. âWhat did I even do to them to deserve this?âÂ
They glance over at each other for a long while before Soobin breaks the silence. You had the right to know, but at the same time, they knew it would break you.
âItâs a sick game that they play where they just choose someone randomly...â Soobin starts off gently handing off the next few words to Gaeun, âand you were just the first girl to walk into Professor Kwonâs lecture hall. He thought youâd be...â
âEasy,â Soobin finished.
Just as they predicted, you had burst out in tears.
â
Jungkook opens the door to your apartment, using the spare key you had given him a month earlier since he tended to visit often. It was more convenient that way.Â
He was freshly out of his Taekwondo garb, still sweaty, but otherwise clean from taking a shower at the campus gym. He found it strange at how dark the room was, but he knew you were on the couch from the noticeable lump of a blanket on it.
All Jungkook wanted was to cuddle with you and fall asleep in your arms after such a harrowing day. Lord knows he needs your warmth right now.
He smiled as he made his way towards you, but stops in his tracks when you sit up from where you laid. He couldnât quite see you in the darkness so he walked to the light switch to turn the lights on. His heart broke at the sight of you.
Tears stained your cheeks, your eyes red and puffy from all the crying. You looked a mess and his blood boiled at the thought of someone hurting you.Â
âWhat happened?â he asked, rushing over to you and cupping your face in his hands. You push him away.
âYou donât have to act anymore,â you say softly. âI can handle it.â
He looks at you with furrowed brows.
âWhat are you talking about-â
âI get that you really need the money,â you say through bated breaths, âI get that financially, it would have really helped, but did you really have to hurt me to do that?â
Jungkookâs breathing stopped. Everything was happening too quickly, his world crashing down when you uttered those words. He knew what this meant, knew that now you would see past his lies. Jungkook couldnât have you finding out this way.Â
He kneeled in front of you, attempting to wipe away the tears from your eyes but you push him off.
â[Y/N] no-â
âIt couldâve been anyone,â you whimper, trying to look up at the ceiling to prevent any more tears from falling down. âAnyone couldâve walked through that door and you wouldâve been okay with it.â
âThatâs not true-â he interjects but you stop him.
âA-and you flirted with me all the time âcause you knew that I wasnât used to it,â you say, your voice quivering. âYou took advantage of me.â
Jungkook shakes his head rapidly, eyes pleading for you to let him speak. It hurt seeing you refuse to even look at him, to have your eyes so filled with sadness because of what he did to you. He fucked up, he fucked up so bad.
âNo, you have to listen-â
âThey told me not to trust you,â you whimper somberly. âThey told me and I didnât believe them because I... I was delusional or something. I thought that someone like you could actually like someone like me-â
His heart broke. It wasnât you that didnât deserve him. It was him. All him.
âPlease donât say that-â
âDid you come here to seal the deal? To finally break up with me?â you ask sadly. âAre you happy youâll get the classes you want next quarter, Jungkook?â
He clenches his teeth. Jungkook knows youâre mad, knows you have a right to be, but it feels like heâs being cornered by you. Why wonât you give him the chance to speak?
â[Y/N], no,â he says sternly, âYou have to trust me when I say that it went past just a bet. I like you. Genuinely, I like you.â
There was no point in lying any longer. You deserved to know the truth, but he needed you to know all of it- not just the information your friends cherry-picked to fit their narrative. He tried to speak again, but you wouldnât let him.
âHow could you,â you whimper. âHow could someone be so cruel?â
Jungkookâs heart breaks at the words. He shouldâve seen this coming. How could he delude himself into thinking heâd be okay if you find out- that heâd be fine seeing you heartbroken? He was disgusted with himself.
âIâm sorry [Y/N],â he whispers. âIâm so sorry.â
You shake your head, your vision getting blurry from the tears. He clasps your hands in his, knowing that it used to soothe you whenever you felt worried over something, but you just wailed harder at his touch. He didnât know what to do, he didn't even know where to start.
âStop pretending like you care,â you cry. âPlease. It hurts.â
âIt was a bet,â he admits and he breaths through the words to prevent himself from getting too emotional, âbut I promise that my feelings are genuine. You have to trust me.â
âTrust you?â you ask crudely.
You stare at him, slowing your breaths to ease the crying. There was a certain emptiness in your gaze and it scared him. It was awfully frightening having you looking at him with a certain animosity that was not there before. Like he was a stranger.
âI canât do that anymore, Jungkook,â you say softly, âbecause I hate you.â
â
A/N: Gasp A double update?! Say it isnât so... I had so much fun writing this!!! Probably one of my favorite fics Iâve written in a while because I love this trope. How do yâall feel about Jungkook? Forgive or forget? Let me know!! Thank you @altus-gensâ for requesting this story, I hope you like it :)
Please leave any comment, critiques, or just random thoughts about my story! Iâm planning my murder mystery series rn and Iâm so excited (I might... do an album giveaway along with it...) I really love the direction Iâm taking this blog in and I hope you guys are excited for the stories to come~~Â
buy me a coffee?

bnha characters as volleyball players (au headcanons)
i have never in my life played volleyball outside of gym class and the occasional beach jaunt, so this is all based off of what i learned from haikyuu LOL
anyways, this started as tags from this fanart by @syblatortueâ of deku, kacchan, kiri, sero, iida and shouto as vball players, and then it got away from me so if you wanna read 2.9k worth of headcanons about powerhouse athletics high school UA then go ahead and press âread moreâ :)
deku's the calculating setter like kenma and he fanboys over stats from the international to the national to the high school
kacchan used to make fun of him and look down on him bc he used to think too much on court to move properly, and as a kid kacchan used to think that it was spiking or bust so he always gave deku grief and bullied him over being slow and weak
in middle school kacchan was a starter since first year and eventually became the ace but deku was always second string setter
his athleticism was nothing to write home about but he was just good enough to make the bench
in their middle school tournament their starting setter got injured and deku had to step in to set for a match for the first time ever
powerhouse volleyball high school coach yagi toshinori is watching and he sees all the aborted plans in deku's setting choices
he sees the gutsy sets that miss and the one successful dump he did that threw everyone off-guard (even deku himself), and yagi remembers what it was like to be hungry for volleyball seeing the look in this kid's eyes and he recognizes the brain on him
their team loses there though bc the fact is that deku wasnt athletic enough to do it and kacchan is yelling and deku's crying
but yagi approaches deku (who freaks out bc all might is THE legendary vball player of their country, and the nation was SHOOK when after getting severely injured by a malicious spike in the wrong place he chose to coach high school vball, even if the school was a powerhouse school and also his alma mater lol)
but anyways deku babbles and fanboys even through his tears and says he got into UA but he's not sure he can make the vball team, and yagi says he sees the potential in deku's plays and if he trains hard every. single. day. from now until the tryouts at UA, he might make at least the bench
(cue montage)
kacchan is angry to see deku at tryouts and fuckn RAGING when deku more or less keeps up bc deku got buff since their last high school match
unfortunately for kacchan he is actually the one most familiar with deku's playing since they trained together in middle school too, and he almost pops a blood vessel just thinking it but ever since deku started actually being able to get to the ball in time, vball has been more fun âcuz the things deku ends up doing are fucking batshit crazy and his sets are begrudgingly his favourite to hit
deku sets right where kacchan can just hit the ball as violently as he can, and it sounds like a bomb goes off when the spike hits the ground
(kacchan also obviously has the best serves and he mixes it up with the power ones like his ap shots, or floaters when he's strategic; he knows how to read the opposing team and either wait or serve really fast and serves up high to blind them like his flashbomb explosions, and heâs really arrogant about his serves but at least he can back it up as per classic kacchan)
anyways they become a really intimidating duo, apart but especially together, because despite the way deku still occasionally cowers from kacchanâs rage and kacchan is often yelling and antagonizing deku, they can read each other really smoothly on court and they match each other really easily, and they both go for the really gutsy shit no one else would think to try (like samu and tsumu going for the freak quick with samu setting kind of gutsy)
kacchan is also antagonizing af and calls the other team extras lol
but yeah, those two along with renown olympic vball player todoroki enji's son shouto are the three most intimidating first years at UA
enji has a very aggressive playing style and where he targets people on the opposing team specifically to make them sweat, makes them feel like heâs hot on their heels even from the other side of the net, always glaring, always strong
shouto hates it and hates the way his dad made him train day in and day out just because he had a good reaction time and instincts for the ball when he was young
fuyumi and natsuo were slow as kids and got immediately dismissed bc of it bc to enji if they werent athletic enough for the ideal vball playing style as children then theyd never be athletic enough to beat all mightâs vball career and metrics in the future
touya was fast enough but he overtrained and strained his knees and then continued straining them to play anyways till they were permanently damaged, and by the time he graduated middle school, his doctor put him on orders to never ever ever do anything that might be overly strenuous for his knees ever again
anyways, shouto plays very cool and detached, like even when he spikes the ball right into your face youâll feel like he wasnât looking; heâs a middle blocker like suna, stays calm but uses his whole body
deku eventually convinces him that playing with fire every once in a while, especially when he spikes, can be a good thing because at the end of the day, his dad may have taught him the tricks but itâs shouto himself whoâs playing, and so itâs not his dadâs style, itâs his own
also the spikes just arenât as good or as psychologically effective if shoutoâs not 100p IN it when he goes to spike one of dekuâs demanding sets
and im gonna say shouto is ambidextrous but more comfortable with his left hand in this volleyball au because shoutoâs left side is his fire side, and itâs more parallel to the character to make his more aggressive spiking hand his left one but still have him be able to use his left hand for spikes too (itâs also SO stressful for opponents bc angles)
also yes he does indeed only play with his right hand (his ice side) when he gets into UA, and is initially very hellbent on proving to his father that he can become a pro vball player without being as aggressive as enji on court and without using his more dominant hand, the hand that his dadâs been focusing on whenever they trained at home, the hand heâs spent hours and hours spiking and serving with since he was like five years old
one day deku notices shoutoâs writing with his left hand and then connects the dots and sort of badgers him into spiking one of his sets with his left hand too and then yeah shouto tells him his life story and deku manages to emotionally coerce him into being okay with his left-handed spikes
(shouto also feels better about it when deku points out the left-handed angles thing)
so yeah thatâs the big three scary first year starters: calculating and gutsy deku, who occasionally makes plays so gutsy heâs at risk of twisting one of his limbs in a very scary way (heâs always bruised in weird ass places from volleyball); raging, aggressive but also cunning kacchan, who is undoubtedly the loudest on any court heâs on, and ambidextrous hot and cold shouto, who does a pretty solid general defense with little holes but has scary aggressive spikes
btw shoutoâs got a fanclub and they call him the volleyball prince
also at one point they totally play a practice match against shiketsu and UA loses bc inasa starts antagonizing shouto for being exactly like his father (inasa asked for enjiâs autograph after a match once when he was a kid and got rudely blown off) and shouto gets offended and starts targeting inasa and then they get outplayed (it was a close match though âcuz both of them couldnt get their heads out of their asses and both their teams were suffering as a result)
alrighty, the other players in that fanart lmao!
kirishimaaaaa my dude my bro, super solid libero, always pumps up the team, and his defense is unbreakable! will receive even the scariest, most powerful spikes and smile cheerfully through it; will always insist that youâre manly for playing with everything you have and never letting fear get in the way of going for it
his middle school had a huge and scary substitute gym teacher who didnât have mercy and spiked hard right to the faces of the students, and kiri really wanted to run forward to receive the spike and yell about how unfair this teacher was but he froze because the spike seemed unforgiving and if he received it wrong, what if his nose broke? what if he fell and broke something from the impact? mina didnt pause though and she received the spike and told off their substitute teacher and then reported it to their homeroom teacher and it was so manly of her, he promised himself he would never hesitate just bc of a scary spike again
btw minaâs all-around athletic and could probably make it onto the girls vball team but sheâs probably on the UA dance team (UA is a powerhouse school for many sports, and theyre famous for their athletics department bc they often hire (former) pro-athletes to teach and coach)
iida comes from a family of sprint runners and heâs the one they trust for the most running; heâs their first year decoy and heâs fast af for such a big guy, and he often also provides extra block support from zooming left and right
also enjoys helping out the managers and corralling his team into being good students; heâd offer to tutor kirishima but kiri seems to have fun trying to be friends with bakugou lol; he makes it known that heâs there if kiri wants some extra patience to go along with his studies though
sero guess blocks so accurately people like to say that heâs got tape coming from his elbows, bringing the ball straight to his arms so that he can block; actually heâs pretty known for having weirdly accurate control bumping the ball back from places other than his hands (esp his elbows though), like heâs just so aware of his body, and he uses everything he can to keep the ball off the ground so heâs good at general defense
some other people i wanna mention:
aizawaâs their supervising teacher and the first year homeroom teacher (he gets to hear bakugou explode both first thing in the morning AND right at the end of the day, oh joy); all might just coaches âcuz he does other former pro stuff during class time, so he somehow ended up in charge of the volleyball club after the previous teacher stopped being able to
he never went pro but heâs a black belt mixed martial artist, and he still does those parent-child karate classes with hitoshi (who is now close to black belt and on the demo team, since theyâve been doing this since hitoshi was like five) and eri (who just got her yellow belt! aizawa is soft)
only hizashi, nemuri, oboro and his kids know this but heâs also REALLY good at doing aerial silk and he looks graceful af when he does it
hitoshi started kinda learning aerial silk when hizashi took him to a rock climbing place that had the silks on the ceiling (dont at me, thereâs a place EXACTLY like this where i used to live lmao) and found out they offer classes there, and hizashi laughed and said âyknow your dad is pro at those rightâ
ochako is their first year manager, and when everyone is confused about kacchan continuing to call deku something so mean, she talks about how the nickname is cute and gives off the impression that heâs trying his best and when deku grins and blushes and seems to be happy with it, the whole team starts calling him deku with the same intentions and fondness behind it
every time other people hear UA calling their starting setter âdekuâ theyre so confused
nejire is the third year manager leaving and she does gymnastics and dance outside of school
mirio is the ace and his thing is that he is very strong and very precise, and he moves like he phases through the other players
tamaki is a middle blocker that can adapt all kinds of playing strategies pretty fast as long as heâs got time to digest them and decent food in his stomachâheâs a great decoy âcuz his spikes are hard and heâs pretty fast too, and while he prefers read blocking, there are a few times he guess blocks and itâs accurate af and kinda scary honestly
tamaki and mirio are also pretty fearsome âcuz people start off scared of mirioâs power spikes and serves (btw his goal is to spike a million service aces LOL), and then tamaki kind of surprises them âcuz he seems to be able to just? do everything??? (and theyre extra surprised bc no doubt heâll be talking himself down and doubting himself before the match and the opponents will think like âoh good heâs mentally weakâ and he kind of is but also holy shit??? we got blocked AGAIN???) and so they sort of only keep a peripheral eye on mirio while they start focusing on tamaki, and then all of a sudden mirioâs not where you thought he was and howâd he get there so fast and there other players in the way??? and then mirio spikes one in
this isnât really related to anything else but you BET mirio can bend low and do insanely accurate bump receives from pretty close to the ground like! his thighs and knees are legend
we donât really know any second year bnha students, but iâd like to think their starting team isnât just first years, so iâd say like⊠hm or mb tamaki is starting setter (all the stuff about adapting and easily digesting strategies still applies, as well as his flexible skillset, it just now includes setting) and mirio is his ace, but all might puts deku in a lot more than youâd expect a bench player to be subbed in not only âcuz it shakes up the other team to see such a meek-looking kid do these gutsy-ass sets, but also bc itâs good for tamakiâs mental health that he feels like heâs got a really great setter right there supporting him as well, even though he knows (objectively) that he can hold the fort on his own
so yeah, id say tamaki and mirio for sure starters (mirio is captain), kirishimaâs a starter (heâs always been really good, he just used to get a little scared off in matches sometimes, but since the thing with mina, heâs been really gunning for it, and also conveniently their last really good libero graduated the year before and they didnât really have a good backup), shoutoâs a starter (heâs lowkey mad about it bc it feels like heâs fulfilling his dadâs legacy and he doesnt want to be), and probably two second years, that feels fair
bakugouâs benched bc his temperâs still a little too unwieldy for the court (much to his dismay), seroâs still patching up holes in his defense, and deku could stand to watch other peopleâs playing styles, but u bet theyre all fearsome af when theyre on court: deku seems to be the only one that seems to be able to bring out shoutoâs terrifying spikes for now; after their first qualifiers, rumours fly around the vball circuit about his angry pinch server thatâs so mad heâs not a regular, he takes it all out on his serves and rip the team that has to try and receive them
well okay, so bakugou is the only that i can qualify as actually fearsome bc even when heâs being intimidating sero is a pretty chill dude, and deku looks too nice to really be scary so the opponents usually arent scared until he starts playing and then for them itâs just this internal monologue of âwhat the fuck? what the FUCK???â
and sero, while chill, is the type to be aggressively cheerful and grin really wide after he blocks and gives you, the opponent, really supportive feedback that sort of still offends you but in a way you cant refute because every word he said was nice and his demeanour was nice too and yet? you kinda wanna strangle him??? and then he laughs winsomely and blocks your next spike too (like, âawh i noticed you have a tendency to follow here when xyz happens, but better luck next time right? thatâs usually a pretty good playâ)
and of COURSE their school banner says âplus ultraâ
ANYWAYS i went OFF lmao i canât believe i really wrote 2.9k of headcanons for this
i have waaaay more ideas about what the rest of the class and other characters are up to in this au that is powerhouse athletics high school UA so if for some reason you got all the way to the end then thank you and please interact if you wanna talk more about it!!!
#bnha#boku no hero academia#bnha headcanons#mha#my hero academia#mha headcanons#haikyuu fusion#sort of#rei rambles#rei writes#(sort of)#it was fun trying to parallel their quirks to their vball playing style haha

haikyuu!! third gym squad taking the ib diploma programme
ok... my friend and i got rlly stressed the other day and made headcanons for these guys if they were to take classes in the ib... itâs like a levels but like... a bit more death!
for my ib diploma folks you can just hop on over and read what iâve hcâd but for my non-ib folks, lemme give you a bit of an introduction to the ib diploma programme.
characters included: bokuto koutarou, kuroo tetsurou, akaashi keiji, tsukishima kei, haiba lev, hinata shouyou
THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME is a rigorous two-year pre-college program in your last two years of high school. a full programme consists of one class from each of the six required groups (totalling to 6 classes), which are G1 - first language; G2 - second language; G3 - social sciences; G4 - natural sciences; G5 - mathematics; and G6 - arts (though, arts is optional, and can be switched out with another subject from G3 or G4).
within these six courses, students are required to take at least three high-level (HL) courses and three standard level courses (SL), but some students may take four HL courses and have two SL courses (kind of a rough one tho).Â
just to note:Â thereâs two types of math courses - applications and interpretations (Math AI) and analysis and approaches (Math AA). MAA courses are known to be harder than MAI courses because students do more theory work and have non-calculator sections in exams, unlike MAI courses where calculators are required for every exam. also, it is possible for a person to take IB courses instead of the full diploma programme, but iâm not very well acquainted with that variation of the IB programme so weâre just going to assume all the boys got 6 courses.
okay. i am so sorry i just lectured you on a whole school curriculum. anyways. back to haikyuu!!
BOKUTO KOUTAROU : Japanese Language and Literature HL, Mandarin Ab Initio SL, Geography HL, SEHS (Sports, Exercise, and Health Science) HL, Math AI SL, Economics SL
ok so itâs canon that this dude is not doing very well in math but his parents made him do higher level math at first poor boy >:(
he started the year off in higher level and thought he was gonna be fine
no. he was not fine.
so he ended up switching his math hl to sl and his japanese sl to hl
IT IS CANON (special chapter in volume 19 titled âi just forgotâ where bokuto has a wholeass crisis about words) that bokutoâs really one to actually really like to think about how words work and function as systems in the same way ib language courses do!!
actually having him do japanese ll hl is just an excuse for me to keep him in math sl sorry
i mean koutarou may be my fav tax evader but he really did sit through two years worth of econ classes... smh
mans is Not listening and has to rely on yukie for notes but he just memorises case studies for exams and does not do anything else
i feel like he just takes mandarin because he thought it was the easiest one... he also thinks the words sound similar so itâs easy to memorise
heâs a pretty good communicator so he practices his mandarin quite a lot. as in, heâs made friends to talk to in mandarin. we love to see it!!!
also. um. i hc that heâs pretty decent at memorisation so geography!! this goes for memorising all the kanji and mandarin characters too
i think SEHS is pretty self-explanatory. mans already known he wanna be a pro athlete might as learn about being healthy as an athlete
KUROO TESTUROU : Japanese Language and Literature SL, English B SL, Business Management HL, Chemistry HL, Math AI HL, Biology HL
now... we all know this mf been taking chemistry hl. it is CANON
and as per his career path... DEFINITELY business management hl
i feel like heâs so analytical in the way he sees things that he likes to explore many areas of knowledge where there are different ways of thinking
takes english as a second language because... whew.. aint it sexy when mans wanna be multifaceted in business
also takes higher level biology because heâd rather not with the languages... but later on i believe he ends up in a higher level language class because he might as well
i feel like kurooâs classes just give me a vibe i know too too well...Â
mans takes math ai. he does not wanna fuck around with a pencil proving a theorem he just wants the answer bro
like in volleyball, heâs a quick thinker. so heâs pretty g with math and business stuff
i literally know someone with this class combo ... itâs not very chill but it screams âyou never see me do any course work but i always get at least a B+ in every subjectâ
AKAASHI KEIJI :Â Japanese Language and Literature HL, French Ab Initio SL, Psychology HL, Chemistry SL, Math AA SL, Visual Arts HL
now... this subject combo radiates such pretty energy
pretty subjects for a pretty boy
he was originally going to do biology sl but then found out there is chemistry in biology so he just decided with chemistry. plain and simple.
we all know akaashi is both emotionally and academically intelligent
heâs logical and analytical, and when faced with a tough time he works through it well albeit going through a little bit of struggle
this automatically puts him in math aa... i just see him actually liking proving theorems???Â
but maybe he just thinks his calculator is a nuisance sometimes and would rather solve everything by handÂ
also art boy! this dude likes graphic design more but when it comes to traditional art he does Not Hold Back
i like to think that heâs into painting backgrounds and mixed media
if he didnât take VA, iâm pretty sure he would take economics. because. itâs quite systematic and i think akaashi would take a liking to it
as for japanese ll hl... we all know this dude was supposed to be a part of the literary section in a magazine/manga company but was moved to editor
goes hand-in-hand with psychology, likes to know how words convey meaning and how they affect people
he also thinks french is kind of a cool language. i feel like this guy just wants to do it because it sounds cool and novel for him
all in all, pretty solid subject combo!
TSUKISHIMA KEI : Japanese Language and Literature HL, French Ab Initio SL, History HL, Biology SL, Math AA HL, Instrumental Music HL
4 hlâs... here we are folks
honestly does it for colleges to go like âholy shit this dude is kinda crazyâ
but does suffer... coursework tings :)
first of all this dude takes french (even though itâs a beginnerâs class) because he just loves to sound cool huh
the summer before his courses started he would have had the basics down after looking through free ib textbooks
plus, being the guy thatâs super good at a new language in the class is a huge ass flex and a big ass ego boost. and anyways, with language, he thinks itâs just a lot of simple patterns working together.
this also applies to japanese ll hl... finds writing essays and making arguments ez (at least thatâs what he tells himself - heâs kinda nervous when it comes to japanese but he holds on anyway)
practices extra hard on pronunciation. sounds hot tho
math aa hl??? there we go. another crazy one. thought he could ace the class at first.... no. no he couldnâtÂ
thinks about moving down to sl. probably does. (at least itâs not math ai)
history and biology go hand in hand for him. he has significant interests in prehistoric times, and likes to learn about the origins of life - thatâs a given
but he does get tired of the politics talk in history like... goddamn all these people making so many mistakes? just stop making them smh
and instrumental music was just something he got onto because he really would like to just have a course where he could enjoy himself while also learning about the stuff he likes
nobody knows what music he listens to... but i think heâs willing to listen to anything as long as itâs music and it has the kinds of vibes he digs
HAIBA LEV: Japanese Language and Literature SL, Mandarin Ab Initio SL, Psychology HL, Chemistry SL, Math AI HL, Theatre HL
i donât know how to explain it but lev has such strong psych and chem energy
yes haiba levâs classes are the ones i picked via roulette wheel
jk not really
hereâs the thing though, lev takes psychology because he thinks econ, business management, history, ess, all that jazz is just... absolutely boring. like. super. mf-ing. boring.
so heâs like ooh cognitive processes!
kinda hates that he has to study research methods and research methods ONLY at first but when he gets the hang of it he really finds it one of his fav subs
i actually have no explanation for mandarin ab initio sl... he just seemed like the kind of guy who would wanna do the class solely because he thinks mandarin sounds cool with their intonations and everything
plus he heard that the teacher gives mooncakes every lunar new year ad he. loves. them.
okay now hear me out.
lev is good at math.
maybe not lightning speed analysis or calculations like akaashi, but he finds solving problems fun! except for when theyâre without a calculator bc he HATES doing calculations by hand
he can get a bit clumsy with his hand calculations too so itâs nice to just have a calculator on hand
literally only does math ai for the sake of using a calculator at all times (a/n: i take this class, and this was the reason i took it too. COMPLETELY VALID)
and then does theatre for the fun of it!!! confidence levels high for presentations and performances... good fit
kinda thought that ib theatre would be his easy A but oh how he was wrong... hates the research tasks at first but he gets used to it
HINATA SHOUYOU: Japanese Language and Literature SL, Portuguese Ab Initio SL, SEHS HL, Geography HL, Math AI SL, Theatre HL
his classes are bokuto energy but with theatre and portuguese
MANGA SPOILERS! we all know he started thinking abt going to brazil in his second year of high school, and the ib diploma programme starts in the last two years of high school so it fits PERFECTLY
lowkey most of the boys take japanese ll sl because they just. have to.
this is also hinataâs case <3
SEHS HL!!! he has a vision for the future and it definitely involves him understanding health and sports and everything like that, especially after nationals in his first year :(((( still sad abt that
but heâs motivated for this higher level class because heâs really just gonna go all out with the research
math ai sl because... he prolly donât give a fuck about numbers!!! (it hasnât been made clear already, but math ai sl is the lowest level math course)
he also took theatre hl because even though he does get scared at first, heâs a natural when it comes to learning new cultures
heâs just so curious about it all and it makes him quite engaged in the class as well!!!!
also kinda took theatre because the other subjects were just not it for him
about geography... he hates memorisation but he also hates everything else in the social studies group so
he just gets by by trying to find the little details of the things heâs studying interesting because really... geography class is just the base of all the places on his bucket list
hinataâs def one of those dudes who picks his subs purely off of liking because we all know heâs going. any subject that isnât based off of liking is usually a mandatory subject anyways

hi leia, i saw your post abt a matchup and here i am to request for one (if it's open tho!!) HAHAHAHA you probably know me so well already because we chat almost everyday jdksjsk but i'll add some general things lang: im shy and awkward at first but when i warm up to you, i bring out my chaotic side (wow remember those 20 qs we did? HAHAHA iconic) default mode: a chill homebody, but if you successfully drag me to a fun place (like amusement parks) i'll be grateful to u forever :> +
HALLO, DILAAAAG âš I HAD FUN DOING THISSSS MY BRAIN WENT *snap*
I match you up with...
Meâš
CHOS! My other choices were Lev and Goshiki but I match you up with...
Tanaka RyĆ«nosuke (ââąáŽâąâ)â§*ă
Mainly because Tanaka screams Pinoy vibes to me.
But also because he's so spontaneous and I feel like you love spontaneous people! (Kasi when you react to my replies minsan napakabongga HAHAHAHA)
Also, kasi I know you're shy (if 'di mo pa close) + he's shy when it comes to girls, too! THE DYNAMICS SPEAKS-
Let's throwback during your college freshman year.
You're a transfer student who just seemed so lost in the sea of people.
Plus the fact that you're not from Japan (assume lang tayo Dilag wala namang bayad mangarap HAHAHAHAH) just screams: a n x i e t y âš
Well, you weren't the only one who's anxious though...
"E-Excuse me?"
You look to your right only to see a semi bald guy with a constipated face. His ears are so red + his lips look funny.
You who is anxious as well: "Ha?"
He shows you his card and like asks you if you knew where these classrooms are.
And you literally cried because you're classmates with almost (almost) all of his general subjects!
Tanaka brightens with this and like, suddenly his awkwardness is gone!
"Do you want to go to our first class together?"
Rumor has it that Tanaka knew where his classes were. He just wanted to talk to you :>
This approach has been mastered, honed, and consecutively developed for three years alongside with his humble partner, Nishinoya
Since you're classmates at general subs, it's given that you seat with each other.
I think your friendship started the moment Tanaka approached you on the opening ceremony.
But it developed when classes started. Tanaka started sharing that he was a volleyball player during high school and like, he was the best and he was the greatest and sorts.
You're just there nodding at him, completely in awe bc WOW an athlete. You're friends w an athlete.
He learns that you're not a Japanese, too! And when he immediately knew you're a Filipino, the first thing he blurts out is:
"TANGINA"
THIS GOT YOU WHEEZING. Because of that, you jokingly slapped his arms, "Huy, Tanaka!" While laughing
He apparently knows a couple of phrases because he plays online games like DOTA and stuff.
By phrases = we mean curses
But this isn't one-sided! You told him you knew Japanese (let's say you're not fluent yet) and you learned from the best: anime
Tanaka: Really? Try telling me a phrase then.
You: ăĄăăă±ă ăăă.
Kidding. That's on me. I'd definitely say that. Also, I'm not sure with the hiragana characters, forgive me.
ANYWAYS, TANAKA GOES RED BECAUSE OF THIS AND LIKE, HE LOOKS AWAY AND LIKE "W-What are you saying?!" And stuff.
Then you laugh because he becomes a mess.
I think the confessing part is the hardest.
Because Tanaka is just a huge m e s s when it comes to girls! While you're too scared to confess because what if he doesn't like you back?
Both of you are like, trying to balance whether it was worth the risk or nah
Karasuno squad is just like, groaning everytime Tanaka called them for advice.
Like, Suga: Jesus Christ, Tanaka. Just confess already.
Tanaka is like: But what if it doesn't work out? What if she only sees me as a friend? What if-
Tsukki: What if someone else takes her away?
Tanaka:
Tanaka: *angry mom noises*
I feel like imagining you dating was his strongest drive to confess!
He wants to confess in classical way, though. You know, he gives a message asking you to go to the sakura tree at the left side of the campus at 5 o'clock.
Only that that won't work since you're both college students and you have the messiest schedules.
You on the phone (while on your way to a class): Look, Tanaka I thought I'm free at 5. Turns out I'm not. What is it that you want to tell me?
Tanaka on the phone: it's... it's just that I want to say I like you.
You: đïž/////đ/////đïž
Dates: ARE COOL
He loves how you're just good to go to places he mentions you.
Tanaka: I found this coffee shop where we can play with snakes.
Karasuno team would normally think he's being creepy but you were like:
"OMG I WANNA SEE THAT"
But kids, please don't play w/ snakes-
Favorite activity would be CHIKA TIME! Tanaka learned this phrase from you.
And like, you two would sit somewhere, cafeteria, library, etc. and would just start dissing other people.
Tanaka: I bet you those two are about to break up.
You: Yeah. Just look at their faces.
You love taking pictures, asking for his hoodie, clinging arms with each other while walking and stuff.
He also loves to place his arm on your shoulders? Like as if you're bros?
Domestic dates, too! Especially that you're far away from your fam, Tanaka invites you to his house most of the time.
*whisper* Something...steamy happens?
N o because Tanaka drinks his respect woman juice and he thinks too highly of you for him to do that!
Respect juice contents btw: he supports you, the things you want, the clothes you wear, and he treats you like an equal! (Not some sort of material he possesses wedontdosexismhere)
Kisses can happen thoughhh but rarely because you two would go crazy with the uwu after.
You're so frequent at his place to the point that Saeko loves you and literally bonds with you more than Tanaka when you're at their place.
If it's the other way around, Tanaka is sooooo stiff when he visits your place.
He's never been to a girl's house before!
You: Tanaka, make yourself feel at home.
Tanaka: á¶á”⿠ᶊ ˹ᶊᔠá”á” á”Ê°á” Êłá”á”Ë
Fights happen too.
I feel like Tanaka is a jealous type.
The first time Tanaka got jealous, you found it cute.
But when it happened over and over again, that got you mad.
It might start with jealousy but it ends up turning serious like:
"Do you not believe in me?"
"I can't believe you said that."
"You think I'd do that to you?"
"Is that what you think of me?"
And like the other party would be speechless but you guys would be too heated and too prideful to apologize on the spot.
The reason why the following days would just be a season of you both ignoring each other.
But don't get me wrong. You still do things together. Like eating lunches together, sitting at one another, going home together but just no talking.
Like no talking at all!
I feel like Tanaka is the first one who gives in. He hates it when he couldn't talk to you. At first, he calls his friends and their words make him realize that:
"Ah, shit. I fucked up." -Tanaka at 3 AM.
You both fix things up eventually. Like, before you knew it, one of you would just casually approach the other as if you haven't ignored each other for a week.
HSJSJSJSJ I hope you like it dilaggg! And tell me if I'm accur8 or naaaaah HAHAHAHAHHA

I've sent a couple of anon asks (one was sad face about Quinnster so maybe you're holding on to it) but I want to say again how valuable your continuation of the CP! extended universe has been during these crazy times. THANK YOU! But anyway, Ben totally marries some gorgeous woman/man/non-binary human being right and the world is blinded by their couple beauty? But ALSO anyway I want more DRAG BEN!? How, when, who finds out?!!
Hi, anon!! Thank you for your kindness!đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€ Iâm pretty sure Iâve now answered that sad Quinn ask (if Iâm thinking of the right one)â itâs right here. :D
Regarding your question about Rhodeyâs far-future relationship experiences, itâs... a little complicated, and I can elaborate on that if itâs wanted, but rest assured he ends up very, very happy.đ€
And Drag Rhodey! Letâs get on that train. This is part 2 of a duo of asks about this concept, so letâs hop under the cut and keep talking about it. (Hereâs part 1!)
(Ask/send me anything about the crickets!)
- So weâre here now for Drag Rhodey Facts. This will be a broad conceptual post. If you wish for me to elaborate further on any point I make in this post or made in the other Drag Rhodey ask, you know where to find me.
- Weâve established that his stage name is Isla Rhodelia. I do not accept constructive criticism at this time. Yes, I hate him, and yes, heâs a meme, and yes, heâs a fucking Rhode Island headass. We know all of this. I feel like he doesnât come up with this name himself; itâs maybe Quinn who suggests it, as a half joke, but Rhodey latches onto it immediately. Thus: he is Isla.
- His style, once they nail it down through some trial and error, is sort of grungy. He has a couple of wigs, and most of them are dyed hair colors (I think his favorite one is, like, indigo). His eye makeup is always pretty bright, almost on the neon side?
- And his outfits are, like.... leather jackets, and tight pants, and sparkly things, but in mostly dark colors. Itâs like heâs the lead singer of an alt band that sings about teenage rebellion. So in other words, Paramore.
- Quinn gets so much joy out of putting together his outfits. Heâll just sit in his bed in his room sewing sequins onto a bra top, and he has the time of his life. He also lives for choreographing his routines. Because you bet your ass he does that. He low-key rules with an iron fist because he takes it upon himself to be sure Rhodey has his shit together (at least in drag terms, otherwise heâs a lost cause) at all times.
- Rhodey picks the music, and Quinn puts together choreography. He does it out during idle time with Nando sometimes, just to brainstorm, and the sight of Quinn going through the dancing is just far too much for poor Nando. Heâs too gay to function.
- Also,
Quinn at a kegster: Ben have you been practicing your routine for Saturdayâ
Rhodey, jumping over a table: Q!!!!!!! Keep your voice down, bro!!!!!! Iâm undercover!!!!!!!
- Why is Rhodey undercover? Ha, okay, this is where we spill a little angst in our fun drag life imaginings. Rhodey starts this his sophomore year, and Whiskey is captain. I have this feeling that Whiskey still hasnât fully accepted himself even by the time heâs a senior, and therefore Whiskey feels... kind of weird around Rhodey. The same way he felt weird around Bitty. Because Rhodey is unapologetic and unhesitating in terms of being himself, and Whiskey... isnât there yet. Heâs not sure if heâll ever get there.
- So on a basic level, Rhodey is kind of scared of Whiskeyâs standoffishness. Which isnât like him, because he doesnât get scared of people super often. Heâs basically just terrified of the thought of Whiskey (and his other non-queer teammates) finding out that heâs doing this, because he feels like itâs going to get him in trouble on the team somehow.
- And yes, I know that this is Samwell Hockey, and that they have each otherâs backs, and that the team as I write it in the CCU is well acquainted with having queer members and supporting that, but doing drag is significantly more outlandish than just having a same-sex partner or even participating in pride events. And itâs still college hockey. Itâs still hockey.
- And Rhodey, as an NCAA athlete, does not like the thought of somebody finding out who could out him as Ben Shaley, Samwell University goalie, doing drag on the weekends. He knows the implications, off ice and on it, that would come with that being public knowledge.
- Therefore....... undercover.
- This creates the most hilarious thought of the crickets plus Quinn all crammed into Quinnâs room pregaming and getting ready to go out clubbing. Quinn does Rhodeyâs makeup. Let me take you all on the journey that is that experience.
Quinn: (Minding his business and doing Rhodeyâs mascara. He has Rhodey in a chair and heâs sort of bent over him. Because heâs doing his makeup, this requires him getting kind of close to Rhodeyâs face.)
Rhodey: (Because he is an asshole.) Q, thereâs so much tension between us right now.
Quinn: (Snorts.)
Nando: No, there is not.
Rhodey: Careful, Nan. Iâm gonna steal your man. ;)))))
Quinn: Fucking sit still, Benjamin!
Rhodey: (Completely freezes because he fears for his life.)
Quinn: I will stab you with this mascara brush.
- And then like this.
Quinn: (Putting eyeliner on Nando because he has a hunch itâll look very pretty and wants to test it out. Heâs sitting in Nandoâs lap to do it, and he has his legs around his waist.)
Rhodey: (From the other side of the room. Mid-getting dressed.) If you two start making out right now, I refuse to go out with yâall tonight.
Quinn: (Gives Rhodey a death glare, and then turns back to Nando all soft.) Ben, quit shit-talking and finish tucking.
Rhodey: (Pikachu gasp.)
Touille: (Falls off his chair laughing.)
- I cannot get the image out of my head of this slow-mo shot of all four of them walking in the parking lot to get to the club. Because itâs important to me that you know this, hereâs what they wear.
Rhodey: is in drag.
Touille: Band shirts with blazers over them, and jeans, and sunglasses. He looks like some kind of grungy bouncer and definitely gets mistaken for Rhodeyâs date.
Quinn: A mesh shirt he stole from the Chicago wardrobe closet when he did gender-bent Cell Block Tango and sent Nando into gay panic and some kind of tight pants, with sneakers, and Nando just..... canât handle it at all.
Nando: Crop tops because, once he gradually gets out of his awful body image rut, Nando is a crop top king. (Quinn lives for it. Boyfriend tummy = free real estate.) And also, like, those pants that cuff at the bottom. I have no idea what the technical term for that is.
- Whatever. Anyway. Those are clubbing outfits. Rhodey kicks ass onstage and also he lives for it??? Quinn gives him a little pep talk because heâs kind of nervous before his first show (imagine that, Ben Shaley nervous), and itâs unbelievably wholesome.
- Touille regularly tells him he looks pretty and it goes straight to his gay head.
-Â Iâm going on and on now, so Iâll cap it here, but, I will talk about this as much as you guys want me to.
Thank you for the ask! :D

...000. INTRODUCTION.
helloooo lovelies ! my name is naomi (he/him), iâm twenty-two and from the gmt timezone ! iâm super excited for this to open because iâve got so much muse right now. iâm down for any and all plots, seriously, i love plotting ! this is calvin, heâs an angry mess of a character, but heâs fun to play, so ! if you just wanna get to know the character, you can skip past the other sections and just focus on personality, iâve also put some wanted connections in there too ! if you would like to plot, then either shoot me a message here or on discord (heterosexual? how vintage!#8600) or alternatively, like this post and i will message you !
caution: alcohol, drugs, mental health, death.
°⌠â xavier serrano, cismale, he/him â â â good to see you again, calvin marx. you're twenty-three now, right ? i heard youâve been streaming professionally on twitch  âŠÂ crazy how time flies. you were always known as the crimson. iâm glad to see youâre just as gregarious as always â and volatile, too .. kidding ! bella used to always mention it âŠyou were her bad influence, after all. donât worry, weâll find her soon. what matter is that weâre together now, right ? not really. + thrift-store clothing, bruised knuckles, a scent of cologne & cigarettes. + watermelon sugar by harry styles.
...001. BRIEF HISTORY.
calvin grew up very underprivileged for the first 11 years of his life in brooklyn, ny.
his father died when he was 5 years old to a drug overdose, leading his mother became a single mother to him and his younger sister, essentially meaning that calvin had to grow up and be the âman of the houseâ without having a choice.
because of her new single-mother status, calvins mother had to work 3 different jobs in order for the family to pay rent (a cleaner in mornings, a store assistant in the day and a bartender in the evenings), which meant she was rarely home and left calvin to raise both himself and younger sister.
from a very early age, it was apparent that calvin suffered from anger issues, dyslexia and adhd, constantly getting into fights at every opportunity, his complete inability to focus and never managing to make it through a week at school without a phone call home.
these issues remained untreated, due to his mother putting it down to the âboys will be boysâ ideology, and concluding that calvin was just an energetic one at that.
because of this, calvin fell into the wrong crowd pretty quickly and settled into his mindset that he was never going to achieve all that much anyway, because no matter how hard he tried, he could never score well on any test at school.
at the age of 9, calvins mother met, fell in love with and soon married a former client for whom she cleaned for.  calvins new step father was incredibly wealthy, due to being a successful franchisee and also being very largely into stock trading.
calvin, his sister and mother were all moved to his home in wilmington, which calvin struggled to adjust to, as he missed his friends back north.
he quickly made friends with the clique as he was brought into it by jordan and it did put some ease on his pressure, but part of him always felt like he should still be back in brooklyn.
now having access to as much money as he want led him down an early path into experimenting with drugs and alcohol, which soon became a bad habit.
although he wanted to drop out of school, his new step-father would not allow it, which became a large source of conflict for the family over the course of the next few years.
failing to graduate high school at age eighteen, calvin couldnât deal with living with his family any more and left the house to move into a small apartment, 30 minutes away, with a roommate (possibly a member of the clique).
calvins only real passions were for gaming and sport, and as he smoked and did way too many drugs to make it in any sporting profession, he turned his attention to twitch streaming. he began this pretty soon and built up a solid fanbase (which he wanted to call the marxists, but in calvins words, apparently some dead man already claimed that title).Â
...002. PERSONALITY.
calvin is a naturally angry person who can lose his cool and go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds, he rarely gives off signs that he is getting angry until he boils over, so people tend to watch what they say around him.
calvin is self-serving, his feelings will always come before those around him. although he is getting better at managing this, if something will result in calvin gaining something at the expense of somebody else, he will most likely go ahead with it.
calvin is not well educated, so he doesnât tend to enjoy arguing with words, as he can never seem to find the ones to correctly express how he feels. instead, calvin is much more likely to act physically when something has irritated him (whether this be on a person or inanimate object).
calvin is an awful liar, he cannot lie to save his life as his face always tends to show when he doesnât agree with an idea/opion/thought that somebody says. because of this, he is very outspoken, and will just say what heâs thinking regardless of if itâs going to hurt somebodies feelings. heâd rather upset them with the truth, than get caught out for lying.
calvin is an extrovert and gains energy from being around people - the more people the better, because of this, he has become a major party animal and loves attending any and all parties that is going on, despite if heâs fond of the hosts or not.
calvin is a heavy user of drugs, alcohol & cigarettes. this is primarily down to his naturally addictive personality and constant need to feel like heâs happy, so that he doesnât get sad again. there will rarely be a day where he will not  be intoxicated in some way and he will have a cigarette at least once an hour -- and thatâs on a good day.
calvin is very much into sports. although not a natural athlete, nor somebody interested in playing sports competitively, calvin loves watching any and all sports, and he likes to play them when he can. due to his smoking habit, he canât play sports for too long, but will always give it a good go.
similarly to this, calvin is very much into gaming. calvin loves fast-paced games, because they manage to keep his attention despite him not having a very long attention span. most games that he plays are first person shooters, and heâs usually the guy on the mic screaming when a teammate fucks up during online play. a big appeal to him was that games were the only thing he could focus his mind on as a child.
calvin is very much a boys boy, he genuinely abides by the bible of â bros before hoes â because heâs stupid.
calvin hates movies but loves tv, he finds that watching moves involves sitting still for too long, but tv allows him to take more breaks and keeps his interest for longer. although. heâd probably trade both of them for a chance to leave the house.
...003. TRAITS.
[ G R E G A R I O U S ] (+) â a person fond of company; sociable.
[ I N T U I T I V E ] (+) â using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive.
[ F O R T H R I G H T ] (+) â direct and outspoken.
[ V O L A T I L E ] (-) â liable to change rapidly and unpredictably, especially for the worse.
[ V E N G E F U L ] (-) â not willing to forgive or excuse people's faults or wrongdoings.
[ H E D O N I S T I C ] (-) â engaged in the pursuit of pleasure; sensually self-indulgent.
...004. BELLA KIM.
when calvin met bella, he never took too much of a shine to her, deeming her to be a rather fake individual and not understanding the rest of the groups investment with her. however, because he was a new introduction to the group and not there from the beginning, calvin felt he couldnât really speak up and vocalise that without being dropped from the group himself.
for whatever reason, bella herself took a liking to calvin and he decided to use this to his advantage. for a girl with such a clean reputation, it seemed only the sensible thing to try and corrupt her -- which proved successful.Â
calvin introduced bella to the world of bad decisions and the two spent many nights breaking several laws and it created a sort of bond that only the pair really understood. they never talked about anything personal -- or, if they did, they were too high to remember -- but calvin saw a side to bella that not many others did, which he liked.
after moving out, calvin and bellas meetings became much less frequent as the group drifted apart. they would still meet up for occasional meet-ups, their last one being 3 months before the disappearance of bella.
calvin does not believe that she is alive and is dealing with it, as expected, not very well.
...005. WANTED CONNECTIONS.
CURRENT BEST FRIENDS â Possibly a boy squad? I live for a good boy squad. This person will have similar interests to Calvin, or be able to tolerate his volatile mood.
CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS â Someone with a similar upbringing from Brooklyn, most likely they grew apart when Calvin moved to Wilmington.
RIDE OR DIES â Although he primarily looks out for himself, Iâm down to have Calvin have one person who heâs loyal to and will refuse to betray, we can come up with a fun reason for why he cares so much if youâre interested in this one.
HIS ROOMMATEÂ â Somebody that moved with Calvin into his current apartment when he moved out at 18.
A GOOD INFLUENCE ON CALVIN â One of my favorite connections for Calvin to have is somebody who knows all of his flaws and attempts to help fix them. Theyâll have to be patient, though, as Calvin doesnât see himself for having any issues.
SOMEBODY HE IS A BAD INFLUENCE OF â On the opposite, I love when Calvin has somebody that he can introduce to bad things, corrupt easily and get a kick out of watching the commotion.
EXES ON BAD TERMS â Cheating on each other is usually an easy one to go with, but if you want, we can think of something more unique as to how it all fucked up and why they now hate each other.
EXES ON GOOD TERMS â Maybe they still occasionally fuck? There could still be an attraction there, but just no romantic chemistry. Alternatively, they tried it and both just couldnât see it going anywhere.
EXES WITH LINGERING FEELINGS â Thereâs a ton of different reasons for why thereâs still lingering feelings. The feelings could be one-sided or both ways.
EX FLINGS â Started as friends with benefits, one of them wanted more, the other didnât, they decided to stop before someone got hurt.
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS â No romantic intention, just a good way to kill time at 2 AM, or maybe itâs easy to know you have someone to go home to if you donât find someone at a party.
FRIENDS FOR NECESSITY â This friend may not have that much in common with Calvin, they may not really get on in day to day life, but they are always there to get high, attend a party or do something dumb. an easy person to talk to when theyâre both bored and wanna get out.
HIS YOUNGER SISTER â If anybody fancies a second character, Iâm always down to have Calvins sister in the roleplay. They can either get along or not, weâll just figure out the details.
EX FRIENDS â Used to be close but now arenât, plenty of reasons as to why.
ENEMIES â Despise each other, seeing this person literally makes Calvins blood boil. Possibly sexual tension too if that would work, if not, they can just fight a lot.
WILL THEY / WONâT THEY â Lots of leading on and teasing each other, maybe they both think theyâre stringing the other along but it turns out neither of them are interested? Maybe they start out not interested and it backfires later, by that time the other couldâve lost interest.

INSP : nate archibald ( gossip girl ) Â
//  »   PAST   :
     warner  was born & raised in the city that never sleeps and  is the product of evangeline  moretti-vandergeld , an  intelligent  american-italian socialite turned  environmental   politician ,  and captain william  vandergeld , a former  navy  captain ,  and now  a  shareholder  in  some  boring  fortune  500  company  that  allowed  his  wife  and  son  to  live  an  affluent ,  and  privileged  life . his  mother however ,  was  the  real deal ,  often  using  their  sum  of  wealth  to  donate  to  multiple  charities , organizations , etc, she was dedicated to keeping new york city ( and all who lived there ) clean and safe  , and she instilled those same values onto her son.
     some people are born lucky , and others , lucky to be born .  warner was the first option . his childhood was nothing short of happiness , and happiest days were with his mother , for as long as he could remember , any happy moment in his childhood was faded right into her.
     things took a drastic change his freshman year of ( private obvy lmao ) high-school  .  warnerâs mother was diagnosed with breast cancer , and little to his knowledge , it wasnât looking pretty from the start . she was frequently in and out of the hospital for a few months at a time and it was not looking good on any fronts . one day when she went to the hospital it seemed like she never left , maybe she didnât , those days were a blur for warner to be honest . watching his mother lose life , every single day was not a task he was up for .
     by then it was just warner and his father , they were all they had in the big city . ( when he wasnât always away on business ) warner grew up in  that big luxy town house all by himself , with the company of loyal maids , chefs ,  and nannies of course . but in high school , the more he really submerged himself into it , it was a crazy world & he loved it . whilst getting demands from his father in tokyo to attend those boring sailing classes , warner instead headed out to their beach house in the hamptons for an early 20 rager .
    warner undoubtedly knew the power he possessed ,  big man on campus type & it felt good , until about towards the end of his junior year he was honestly all  partied  out , but of course reputation  is  everything , in order to keep up thats when he picked up the  real ugly habits , that were of course fun . smoking numerous amounts of marijuana , various girls in - and - out every other day was a feeling like no other ,  he knew it was wrong , he knew his mom would be ashamed , him doing all these things and not carrying on her legacy in some way . but he couldnât help himself in a all honesty  ,  and  no doubt some of that transitioned over in college .
//  »   AES  :
     lost weekends partying , chicken wings & french fries , air jordan 1âČs , gucci guilty cologne , friday night lights , clouds of smoke & red eyes , diamond encrusted jewelry glistening under bright lights in a dark room , nike sweatsuits , game winning moves , new york city at night , hamptons in the summer , spring break in miami , impulsive decisions .
//  »   TL;DR  :
( and some stuff i probably missed oops ) warner is a conflicted mamaâs  boy who knows half the shit he does is wrong but canât stop . after his mothers passing he had an absent father who seemed to always be away on business , only in town for a month or two , missing his sonsâ multiple feats  to keep himself distracted from the fact that his wife was no longer with them. created immense daddy issues for warner , especially since he was a standout football star & 2x  stage champ in high school , and is currently playing collegiality for the irish , with dreams of making it in the nfl cause screw his dad he donât wanna go  2 the navy  ,  or work for dat company # not gonna happen . warner took great advantage of wealth & his fathers absence , but heâs lowkey partied out in college , or so he likes to say but he fakes it âtill he makes it bc he doesnât his brothers to think heâs lame . HEâS LIVING FOR EVERYBODY BUT HIM BASICALLY .
//  »   HEADCANONS  :
warner is on a football scholarship majoring in environmental science bc although he most likely wonât do shit w/ da degree its for mommy .

he has a higher moral compass than most of his frat bros , but the stupid shit he does , u most likely wonât even be able to tell , heâs definitely a serial romeo and a heartbreaker , one compliment ? heâs ready to drop his pants & fall in love w/  u .
HE DUMB , but like he can talk his way into & out of anything , most of the time , batting those big brown eyes & a million dollar smile has saved his ass on multiple occasions .

hey any good movie suggestions? -action -romcom -fantasy -comedy asking for a friend haha thanks! have a good day/night. đ
oh boy, when i get asks like this i blank out immediately, but here ya go! Spoiler alert: it gets pretty damn long.
Romance/ Comedy/ RomCom:
1. Crazy Rich Asians:Beautifully filmed, and extremely talented cast and such a gorgeously done idea. Not to mention, Henry Goldingâs back musclesÂ
2. Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewaani (Hindi)Iâm a desi and proud, so letâs go this way too. Itâs so fun and bold and honestly such a change of pace from other Hindi movies. Iâd die for Deepika Padukone and Kalki Koechlin
3. 2 Weeks NoticeI donât think anyone really realised the sudden influx of Hugh Grant content on my account, but people who know me know iâm an absolute slut for his wit and charm. This is one of his funniest, without a doubt.
4. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Hindi)Iâm not sure whether this goes under romance or comedy, but itâs one of my favourites anyway. Beautiful locations, their chemistry is amazing and great sub plots.
5. To All The Boys Iâve Loved BeforeLara Jean and Peter Kavinsky. I have feelings for both of them.
6. The Set-UpI honestly didnât know what to expect while watching this, but it was so funny and I really loved it.
7. 3 Idiots (Hindi)Such an important movie for parents of kids studying in India and other countries where education is the utmost priority.
8. Bangalore Days (Malayalam)Itâs probably not the best movie to exist, but itâs very close to my heart.
Fantasy:
1. Harry PotterYou canât go wrong with an ultimate Harry Potter marathon. Even though the books are leagues above the movies, I still adore them for doing the best they can.
2. Pirates of the CaribbeanHilarious, smart, Elizabeth Swan. Need I say more?
3. The MCUAlthough watching all of them is highly recommended, some of my favourites include Iron Man 3, the Avengers, Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Civil War and Thor Ragnarok.Â
Thriller:
1. Searching (2018)One of the best damn movies out there. Itâs filmed entirely through different forms of technology, no real life acting and it pulls it off so well.
2. Drishyam (Malayalam)My native place is Kerala, and they produced this actual beauty of a thriller movie. It may not be the best youâve seen, but I loved it.
3. The Da Vinci Code It mind fucked me.
4. Inferno Itâs one of the movies that followed the Da Vinci Code and it made me actually want to get into Dante and art, but it unfortunately didnât happen. Still a good movie.
5. Hush Okayyyy, I donât think I ever screeched so hard while watching a serial killer movie. It screwed with me horribly but it was a great idea and they pulled it off well!
6. Talwar (Hindi)Oh boy. Itâs based on a real murder of a young girl in Noida, and it explores all the different murder suspects and things that went wrong in the investigation.
7. Pink (Hindi)Powerful, and stellar performances by everyone on the cast. A serious must watch, especially with the movements that have started.
8. Kahaani (Hindi)Bro this was crazy and Iâm sure all my Indian friends can vouch for this.Â
Animation:
1. Into the Spider-Verse.Watch it. Watch it. WATCH IT. ITâS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
2. TangledThe love of my life, Flynn Rider has been ruining expectations for me for years now because heâs perfect and no one can match up to his standard. Probably my all time favourite movie.
3. CocoBeautiful animation. Amazing plot twists. Absolutely gorgeous.
4. Inside OutClosest Iâve come to actually crying in a theatre was when I watched this masterpiece.
Coming of Age/Self Realization:
1. Perks of Being a WallflowerIt dealt with trauma and depression the way it needed to be dealt with and really showed the ugly side of it.
2. The DUFFOne of the lighter movies on the list, but hilarious all the same :)
3. Dear Zindagi (Hindi)Honestly one of the last few good movies to come out of Shah Rukh Khan now. So, so honest and refreshing about mental health in India.
4. Queen (Hindi)This inspired my mother to go to Paris where we promptly got pickpocketed and spent the next few days on a budget. Itâs an amazing movie, and Kangana Raunat killed it.
Biopics:
1. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (Hindi)This part is probably biased because I havenât watched a lot of biopics outside of Indian ones, but Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was a knock-out. Farhan Akhtar deserves everything. One of Indiaâs finest athletes, and the journey he followed to get to the top.
2. Neerja (Hindi)Goodness, there wasnât a dry eye in the theatre by the time it was done. She was an air hostess working in the Pan Am flight that got hijacked years ago.
3. Bohemian RhapsodyUgh. Bright, fun, and then it got so dark it was crazy. Freddie would have approved of it.
4. Hidden FiguresThree women working for NASA. It was so empowering and absolutely amazing.
5. Dangal (Hindi)Ugh, so so good. Itâs about three girls who were raised as boxers in India by their dad.
6. Hachi: A Dogâs TaleI felt empty after watching this.
Iâm also throwing in a couple of TV show recs, in case you want something new to watch!Â
TV Shows:
1. The MentalistÂ
2. The Office
3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
4. New Girl
5. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
6. Jessica Jones season 1
7. Sherlock
8. How To Get Away With Murder

hummingbird heartbeat - pt43
Senior year put a lot on Bittyâs plate. Being out as a team captain was important to him -- being a good captain was important, but how did a person do that, exactly? What made a good captain? What had he appreciated about captains heâd had?
He needed to figure that out. He had a chance to inspire others by being out as an NCAA captain, and after this summer with Kent, he was facing a lot more pressure than before. Whether Bitty liked it or not, his performance as captain would reflect on LGBT people in general, not to mention his coaches, his parents, his boyfriends.
His boyfriends, plural.Â
That wasnât even common knowledge, and Bitty was pretty sure Kent would rather die than have anyone know anything more about their personal life. Kent definitely couldnât handle being publicly polyamorous, and honestly? Bitty didnât think he could, either. His stomach hurt just thinking about it. He hadnât really even told anyone he was also seeing Jack -- Lardo had sort of implied she knew, via text, but theyâd never talked about it.
Balancing Kent and Jack was still⊠kind of hard, especially since Kent was physically so much further away than Jack. It was easy to make time for him because Bitty was used to that, he just -- worried, maybe, that talking on the phone and Skype wouldnât be good enough. And Kent had Jeff so close, which wasnât different, exactly, but it seemed more important than it had before. Like it might make Kent miss Bitty less.
Kent did not seem to think so. âHowâs my captain?â he asked.
Bitty laughed. âIâm not your captain,â he said, phone to his ear as he walked to Faber.
âYes you are,â said Kent. He paused. âBabe. What is it?â
âWhatâs what?â
âEric,â said Kent. âYou just told me youâre not my captain.â
Sometimes it could be really annoying, the way Kent always seemed to know something was wrong. Sweet. But annoying. âItâs just that I donât really know what Iâm doing,â Bitty said, quickly. âAnd itâs -- I donât know.â
âJoin the club,â Kent said. He paused. âBut, Eric -- youâve already, like, been a leader to some of these guys. I mean, all of last year you talked about Dex and Nursey and the new guys, and I think it was kind of obvious that they looked up to you? At least a little?â
Bitty blinked. Was it? âI guess,â he said. âI hadnât really thought about that.â He pulled the door open.
âYou got this,â said Kent. âYouâre gonna be great.â
Maybe he was right.
That night, he RSVPâd yes to a meet and greet, hoping for the best. To his knowledge, Ransom, Holster, and Jack never attended any of the varsity captainsâ meetups, but -- well, Bitty wasnât Ransom, Holster, or Jack. Maybe talking to some other people in the same position would help? It couldnât hurt to try, anyway.
At Annieâs, he peered around a bookshelf, staring at a group of students for just a moment. Ducking back behind it, he squared his shoulders. âListen here,â he muttered to himself, âif talkinâ to other captains is what you need to do, then by golly thatâs what ya need to --â
A voice interrupted his self pep talk. âEric?â
He jumped a little. Oh, Lord, there were three of them.
âYouâre Eric, right?â a girl asked.
Right, questions needed answers. âOh! Hi!â he said. âThatâs me! Eric Bittle.â
A short, dark-haired girl waved one hand. âIâm Shruti, I captain rugby.â
âAnd Iâm Sharon -- I captain Ultimate,â said the other. âAnd this is Edgar -- heâs the volleyball captain.â
âWeâre so glad you decided to come to the meet nâ greet!â said Edgar, leading them away from the bookcase and toward a group of people.
âWow,â said Bitty, âeveryoneâs here. I guess -- I guess Iâve been missing out!â
âWe know the menâs hockey team can be insular,â said Shruti.
âCult-like,â Sharon cut in.
âConfusing and threatening to outsiders,â Edgar muttered.
âSo itâs cool that you could make it,â Shruti finished.
Bitty sat in a chair, giving Shruti a nervous smile for a moment. It didnât take long for them to break into conversation, and once they got going, it was⊠surprisingly easy. Chill, even.
âYeah, dude!â said Shruti. âYou had a like, a crazy summer? You donât have to talk about it, but --â
âNo, no, no!â Bitty said. He hadnât wanted to mention the Cup and Kent and everything first, but everyone had to know, and -- Lord, crazy summer was such an understatement. Being the boyfriend of the first openly gay player in the NHL was⊠a lot. âItâs so weird, bringing it up -- I didnât want to --â
âI mean, I guess Iâll just say it,â Shruti said. âA lot of the varsity captains are also in Samwellâs LGBT athletes?â
They were? That probably shouldnât have surprised Bitty so much, but --
Shruti shrugged. âNot like I had the summer you had, so no assumptions... but like, I hope youâre not... overwhelmed.â
Well. âItâs pretty overwhelming,â Bitty admitted. He laughed a little, rubbed at the back of his neck. Overwhelming? Second understatement.
âYeah⊠me and Edgar were talking about the write-up in the Samwell Daily,â said Sharon. âMan.â
Bitty winced. That write-up was really something.
âOh my god, 100% written by a straight student,â said Edgar.
âJust, like, the captains are here for you and stuff, dude,â said Shruti, giving Bitty a warm smile.
âThatâs so nice of yâall,â said Bitty.
âEven Chad L. from Lacrosse.â Shruti gestured to a guy in a white backwards cap standing behind them, talking to someone else. At the sound of his name, Chad L. looked up.
âFive on the beef,â he said, giving Bitty a thumbs up. âBrush the fuckinâ narp goss and nip ched all season, bro. Ripped.â
Oh, Lord. What did that even mean? It was a form of bro dialect that Bitty wasnât entirely prepared for. âOh! Um, thank you,â said Bitty, trying -- and failing -- not to think of all the times heâd heard Shitty say âfuck the LAX brosâ.
âYou guys should all come over for a kegster!â Bitty said. âI promise the Haus isnât that haunted.â
âOh my gosh, yes!â said Shruti. After a moment, she frowned. âUm, wait, did that loud guy with the giant chiclet teeth graduate yet?â
Chiclet teeth? Bitty laughed. âHolster?â he asked. âYeah. He graduated.â The obvious relief on only made him laugh harder.
âOkay. Question. How did the fire over the summer start?â
âWell, thatâs --â Bitty started to explain, but someone else cut in.
âCan someone please explain the hockey bro - lax bro rivalry I canât tell most of yâall apart --â
Bitty laughed. It really felt like home. He was glad heâd come. True, he still had⊠hockey traditions to keep up with, of course, but having other team captains to talk to made him feel a little better about things.
Classes starting did not, to Bittyâs delight, bother him that much. He was done with French, thank the Lord, and since heâd actually enjoyed his classes with Professor Atley, she was serving as his thesis advisor. Not that he knew what he was going to be writing his thesis about, of course. He could⊠figure that out at a later date. There were plenty of way, way more important things to deal with -- like initiation.
Bitty wanted something good. Something fresh, even. The classics were classic for a reason, sure, but that didnât mean he couldnât make it his own. Chatting with Ford as they cleaned dishes one evening, Bitty mentioned the hockey teamâs tradition. âYou know, before the season starts and everything,â he said. âJust a little welcome to SMH.â
âSo, hazing?â asked Ford.
âI mean, not like, hazing,â Bitty said, scrubbing the pan heâd baked the pound cake in. âGoodness. Nothing awful. We certainly wonât have any boys dyinâ on our watch or anything like that!â
âSo like, a little Haze by Hazewest, then,â said Ford, drying some plates with a dish towel. âCreative, fun, but not as crazy as Hazing Man.â
Bitty laughed. âYes,â he said, âexactly. Exactly!â He picked up a towel, running it over his pan. âWeâll just put our own little twist on it.â He paused. âHaze by Hazewest is perfect.â
Ford grinned.
That night, Bitty called Kent at their regular time, surprised to see him pick up the Skype call at his kitchen table. âHi, honey,â he said.
âHey, you.â Kent glanced back down at the table.
âYou still working on school stuff?â Bitty asked.
âYeah, but itâs -- itâs fine,â said Kent, waving a hand. His classes had started earlier than Samwellâs, and he was already taking something called multivariate calculus that Bitty had absolutely zero interest in understanding beyond the bright smiles Kent gave him when he figured something out. âHowâre you?â Kent asked.
âOh, you know,â Bitty said, âjust gettinâ stuff together. Went through my equipment this morning. Isnât it amazing how gross stuff gets when it sits for even a little while?â
âTruly,â said Kent. âLike mouth guards.â
Gross. âIt reminded me that I meant to ask you the other day,â Bitty said. âAre you gonna wear your cage again this season?â The thought of dealing with another concussion was a little horrifying, if he were honest, and he hadnât forgotten the last time. Seeing Kent in a cage alleviated a little of that worry, and heâd realized he didnât know if Kent planned to keep wearing it or not.
Kent let out a deep, irritated sigh, glancing up from his paper. âYes,â he said, and Bitty could tell by the eye roll that he was only wearing the cage because Jeff was making him. And maybe because he feared Bittyâs wrath, like, a little. Kentâs anxiety over displeasing Bitty had mellowed somewhat with time. âI am.â
âSweetie,â said Bitty, frowning, âdo you need to take a break from the math for a second? Or should we hang up and try this again? Because youâre making your âlost in shootoutâ face.â
âSorry, Iâm almost done, I swear,â said Kent, rubbing his face with both hands. âCan we talk about something less irritating?â He paused. âWhatâd you decide about initiation?â
Theyâd been talking about it the past few days. As heâd said before, Bitty didnât want to just repeat previous yearsâ events, he wanted something new. Or, at the very least, old enough that it could be new again. âI was thinking blankets,â Bitty said. âYou know, make them carry them around everywhere. Embarrassing but not, like. Bad.â
âSeems harmless enough,â said Kent, still looking at his homework.
âObviously fines,â Bitty continued. âThereâs always fines. And, you know, every year they always do the initiation in underwear, but itâs just so cold in Faber, so I was thinking Iâd let them have a sweater --â
âI thought that the whole point was like, being uncomfortable or something,â Kent murmured.
âWell, but I donât want them getting frostbitten, honey,â Bitty said. âAnd I have to feed them, obviously. I mean, not everything will be comfortable, Iâll give them some challenges --â
âYou should make them figure skate or something,â said Kent, head bent as he scribbled something on his paper. âThere.â He slammed his textbook closed. âDone.â Looking up at the camera properly, he grinned.
âYouâre a genius,â Bitty said.
Kent shook his head, running fingers through his blond hair. âNo, this took me like, hours,â he said, âitâs totally not --â
âI meant the figure skating, baby, not the math,â said Bitty, interrupting him.
âHey!â Kent yelped. âThat math was hard!â
âYes, you have a very sexy brain,â Bitty said, waving a hand. âBut oh my god, figure skating. Itâs perfect. We can find little outfits, and Iâll pick a song -- I guess we can just try to get Ford on the ice, I donât think she can actually skate --â
âObviously there should be glitter,â Kent added. âAnd Britney.â
âSo much glitter,â said Bitty. âJust. So, so much glitter, babe.â
Kent laughed so hard his face turned red. The next video he posted on YouTube was a cover of Britney Spearsâ Gimme More, clearly recorded after heâd hung up with Bitty, warm golden lights on in a dark living room. He still wasnât showing his face in his covers, even though they both knew it was only a matter of time before the entire internet knew about Kentâs channel. It was honestly a shock that he hadnât deleted it, because Bittyâs channel sort of led to it, and --
And he needed to stop worrying about it.
Planning initiation now that he had a list of ideas took up the rest of Bittyâs spare time. He had ingredients to buy, a skate routine to plan, music to pick⊠plus blankets, leotards, and glitter. Bitty recruited the frogs, sending Chowder for the blankets and Nursey for groceries.
It was possible that the hockey team was taking up energy he ought to be using on school, but⊠it was infinitely more interesting, and Bitty had always been great at putting schoolwork off. The first week wasnât that intense, anyway. At least, he hoped it wasnât, because he wasnât really paying attention.
Fitting a visit to Jack in to his already busy schedule took a little work, but Bitty managed it. Due to his late arrival, they made a quick dinner, nothing fancy -- though Bitty insisted on getting a pie in the oven while Jack cleaned up.
Washing dishes, Jack glanced over at him.
âYes, honey?â said Bitty, looking up from the lattice of his pie.
âYou didnât bring schoolwork,â Jack said, âdid you?â
Oh boy. âNow you listen here,â said Bitty, pointing with a bit of pastry, âIâm already gettinâ enough of this from Kent, I donât need --â
âItâs your thesis year,â Jack said.
âI know,â Bitty said. âItâll be fine! Iâve got a long time to -- school just started, you know.â He pressed the pie crust with a bit more force than strictly necessary.
âKentâs classes started already?â Jack asked, after a moment.
âYeah, early,â said Bitty. He opened the oven to slide the pie in. âHeâs ridiculous. Can you imagine learning calculus for fun?â
âNot really,â Jack said, and Bitty laughed.
âCâmon, handsome, letâs watch a movie.â
Jack let Bitty lead him into the living room, settling on the sofa while Bitty flicked through the streaming menu to find something to watch. âWhen do you see him again?â Jack asked.
âHmm?â Bitty paused his scrolling and turned to look at Jack. âKent, you mean?â
âYes,â said Jack.
âIâm not sure,â Bitty admitted. âI mean, Iâm gonna call him later. But I donât think Iâll get a chance to see him until they come to Boston.â Maybe New York, but they had multiple schedules to line up. Bittyâs hockey schedule and Kentâs hockey schedule and school and -- Bitty took a breath. âNot like I can drive down to see him,â he added. âNot like you. Why?â
âI was just wondering,â said Jack. He slid an arm around Bittyâs shoulders, pulled him close.
âIâll see him some time,â Bitty said. âMaybe, um. Maybe you can see him, too?â
âMaybe,â Jack said. He took the remote from Bitty, scrolled through some things on his own. âI think Iâd like that.â He chose The Devil Wears Prada, pushing play before Bitty could question him.
They didnât actually end up watching much of it, anyway.
After cleaning up and brushing his teeth, Bitty ducked into the guest bedroom. He settled onto the bed and set his computer down, chewing his lower lip for a moment before opening Skype. A quick glance at the clock told him he had about two minutes. Bitty pressed his hands to his face, sighing softly.
It was harder than heâd thought, going from seeing someone every day to not being able to see them for months. Being with Kent all summer was maybe the happiest Bitty had ever been. It was like a little window into his future, heâd hoped, waking up with Kent every single day. Heâd missed Jack, but -- it was different, still, because he was used to missing Jack over the summer, just talking to him on the phone or whatever.
Kent was in his living room when he answered the call, both cats lounging nearby. There was no sign of Kevin, though. Was Jeff not there? âHey, you,â Kent said, smiling. His guitar sat next to him.
âHi, baby,â said Bitty. âHow was your day?â He paused. âWere you recording?â
âYeah.â Letting out a heavy sigh, Kent shook his head. âConditioning,â he said. âYours?â
âSchool,â said Bitty.
âWe both suffer so much,â Kent said. They chatted about workouts and school assignments and how all the boys were doing, with occasional breaks as Kent tried desperately to keep Purrs from shredding his favorite blanket.
He was mildly successful.
âYou look tired,â said Kent, after a while. âYou want me to read to you a little and call it quits?â
âTell me about Jeff instead,â said Bitty, leaning back into the pillows. He yawned. Kent hadnât said a single thing about Jeff in days, which was⊠kind of out of character, really, considering how Jeff was always around.
âWhat about him?â Kent asked.
âYou know,â Bitty said. âWhatâs the deal? I mean. Just tell me some stuff. Weâll call it your reading for tonight.â
âYou know him,â said Kent.
âNot really,â Bitty said. âBeyond Stampede and like, his mom being nice. Humor me, honey.â
Kent let out a soft laugh. âUh -- okay. Letâs see. Um, Jeff went to Boston University.â
âDonât tell me stuff I can look up on Wikipedia,â Bitty said.
âOkay, um. I met him the first day I was in Vegas,â Kent said, then. âAt the airport. He thought I was gonna be a total asshole.â
Did he? Bitty laughed. âWhy?â
âI donât know,â said Kent, âbecause nineteen year old boys arenât famous for being like, sensitive or well-mannered?â
âI forget Jeff is older than you,â Bitty said.
âYeah, by four years.â Kent paused. âAnyway, uh. He was nice to me, though, I think because Christopher told him to be --â
âJeff is kind of a nice guy in general,â said Bitty. âRight?â
âUh, kind of?â said Kent. He laughed. âHe can be a huge dick, you have no idea.â
Actually, Bitty did have an idea. Jeff had warmed to him, but he hadnât exactly been friendly at first. And Bitty hadnât forgotten the way Jeff talked to him in his apartment a while back, when he made him stand out in the hallway and almost didnât even let him inside. Plus, he got his fair share of penalty minutes with that temper on the ice. âI believe that,â he said.
âYeah.â Kent picked at one of his cuticles, stayed quiet for a few minutes.
Bitty frowned. âIs everything okay?â he asked. Kentâs answering nod wasnât reassuring. Had he said something and Jeff rejected him? Surely not. There was no way heâd do that.
Would he?
The truth was that Bitty didnât really know Jeff that well. Theyâd had exactly zero intimate conversations, no true bonding moments. From what he could tell, they didnât share any interests besides hockey and Kent. Even during the time theyâd spent together in Calgary, Jeff seemed to kind of⊠hold back from Bitty, just a little, and he was intimidating enough that Bitty had never pushed his luck. Southern charm and pie did not work on Jeffrey Troy, that much was clear.
âEverything is fine,â said Kent.
âDid you, um.â Bitty maybe shouldnât ask about what Kent talked about in therapy, but -- âDid you talk to Brian about Jeff?â he asked. Kent didnât really talk to very many people, heâd realized. Not the way Bitty did.
Kentâs eyes flicked up from his hands for a moment. âYes,â he said, after a long stretch of silence.
He clearly did not want to talk about it. âOkay,â Bitty said. âIâm -- nevermind, sweetie.â He cleared his throat. âUm, Jack was asking when Iâd see you again,â he said.
Kent blinked. âUh -- whenever we have a roadie out there,â he said. âOr bye week. Whichever comes first.â
âDâyou think that maybe, um.â Bitty twisted his covers in his fingers a little. âMaybe we could all have lunch or something? Like, you and me and Jeff and Jack.â
Kent laughed a little. âWhat, you wanna be a witness to a murder?â
âExcuse me?â
âJeff and Jack,â Kent said. âIn the same room. For, like, an extended period of time.â
âYes,â said Bitty.
âItâs madness,â Kent said. He grinned. âBut yeah, Iâll totally arrange it.â
Sliding into bed beside Jack once heâd bid Kent good night, Bitty wiggled until he could rest his head on Jackâs chest.
âHey,â Jack murmured. âGood call?â
âYeah,â said Bitty. He closed his eyes.
The following Thursday, armed with some impressive shades and flanked by upperclassmen, Bitty set his plans in motion.
âListen up, eggs,â he said, facing the freshman. âI explain the Samwell rookie blanket once.â He hefted them in his hands. âLet this blankets serve as reminders, youâll carry them with you every day until initiation.â He paused. âHops.â He tossed a blue blanket at one of the freshmen.
âUh,â said Hops, catching it, âbut, what if I have class tomorrow?â
âBully,â Bitty said, tossing the duck print blanket.
âHey, cool. Ducks,â Bully said.
âAnd Louis.â Bitty tossed the last blanket.
âThis doesnât seem that bad,â Louis said.
âAnd to better ensure camaraderie on and off the ice,â Bitty continued, âfines incurred by one frog will be incurred by all frogs.â He lowered his shades. âBecause youâre a team. Get it?â
âYes sir!â
Oh, it was perfect. Bitty beamed. âWonderful!â He clapped his hands together. âThen youâre at the disposal of your upperclassmen this weekend. You can turn in your blankets Monday night at --â he glanced at Ford. âHaze by Hazewest!â
She grinned.
The boys racked up fines all over the place -- some for being overheard gossiping about Bitty and Kent, some for horrible playlists, and some for, like, harshing Nurseyâs vibe, or something? They incurred reasonable fines, too, of course. Getting on the ice before an upperclassman, finishing Ollie and Wicksâ pre-game cereal, breaking multiple sticks in one gameâŠ
Bitty was sure they were more than pleased when Monday night started out with his homemade scones and pizza. They got all settled in, tucked into their little sweaters, guards down, and --
And the fun began.
Making them all work on a figure skating routine was even more fun in practice than Bitty had imagined. He even managed to get Ford on the ice, because -- well, no freshman was safe. And watching her try to skate? Hilarious.
Bitty put so much into initiation and then their hockey games that he honestly forgot to talk to Kent about Jeff again. They were getting busy in Vegas, anyway, with camp coming up. Jack had his own things going as well, including Tater being back in town and informing all of Twitter about their workout progress, including Instagram-worthy thirst traps. Bitty did his best to keep up with schoolwork, but he still ended up getting to bed pretty late sometimes, unable to keep up with Jack or Kentâs strict bedtimes.
It felt like heâd only just fallen asleep when shrill noise interrupted what couldâve been a very nice dream. Bitty rubbed his eyes and picked up his phone before leaning over to turn the lamp on. It was a Skype call. Pushing the button to accept, Bitty pushed himself upright just a little further. âMmm?â
Kent stared at the screen, worrying his lip between his teeth. The pale light of his computer reflected off his glasses. âIâm sorry, I know itâs late,â he said. âI just needed to talk to you.â
Oh. That didnât sound great. âHi, honey,â Bitty said, propping himself up on one elbow.
âHey,â Kent said. He swallowed. âJeff, um. Jeff --â
Had it finally happened, then? Bittyâs stomach tightened a little. âDid you talk to him?â Lord, what if heâd been wrong?
âYou were right,â Kent said. âAbout everything.â
Thank god. A warm smile spread over Bittyâs face. âOh, baby. Thatâs great,â he said. To clarify, did that mean -- âYou tell him you love him?â
âI --â Kent paused. âYeah. Well, he said it first. I mean, I was gonna say it first, I just. Itâs not cheating, right?â
Bitty rubbed his face with one hand. âNo,â he said, ânot unless what Iâm doing with Jack is cheating.â
âNo,â Kent said. âWe talked about it, itâs fi--â
âItâs the same as that,â said Bitty, cutting him off. âFor me. You and Jeff, I mean. Itâs the same as me and Jack for you, except -- I mean, I wouldnât kick Jeff out of bed, yâknow? Everythingâs fine.â
âEric,â Kent hissed.
âWhat? Jeff Troyâs hotness is, like, an acknowledged fact. You know thereâs a whole Twitter account dedicated to the length of his hair,â Bitty pointed out.
It took a second, but Kent laughed. âGod,â he said, pressing his hands to his face. âI love you. I freaked out, didnât I?â
âLittle bit,â Bitty admitted, because it was like, three in the morning and he was still half asleep. He paused. âDid you make out with him?â
âOh my God, Eric,â said Kent, his face reddening. That was a yes, right?
âHot. How was he?â Bitty asked, grinning. âCan I watch next time?â
âOh my God, Eric,â Kent said, again, and he pressed a hand to his face. âStop. Yes. I mean, no. I mean, I donât -- Jesus, fuck. It was just kissing.â
It was like a romantic comedy. âYou precious thing,â Bitty said. He yawned. âHeâs good, right?â
âThis is gross,â said Kent. âGo back to sleep.â
âSo heâs good,â Bitty said. Confirmed. Heâd have to ask Kent about it again later. âI bet heâs into --â
âIâm hanging up,â said Kent.
( HH is on AO3Â if you need to start from the beginning! )

Nina looks as confused by this as I am. Okay, so Electrocuted Amazing Hat Guy was in the Calientesâ hot tub, and when the conversation turned to Don Lothario, he took it as an opportunity to talk about how much he fancies Brandi. Everybody in my game seems to fancy Brandi. Sheâd have done well as a Romance sim.
Anyway, he goes and gets struck by lightning in the hot tub, leaves, and then calls Nina about giving her a sample of a ânew productâ. Said ânew productâ turns out to be the same bloody tired old flatscreen TV from the base game!
So thatâs the most exciting thing currently happening in Ninaâs life, given her romantic pursuits and athletic activities have taken a backseat to nausea, indigestion, flatulence, crying at the Cat Lady movie, and pickle cravings. Letâs turn our attention to Dina, who, when she isnât working...
... is running off to see her beloved Mort Mort. Now, game story or no, thereâs a real reason Iâm keeping these two crazy kids together.
Why, theyâre only crystal ball compatible of course! I genuinely found it rather adorable when Dina cropped up on here, considering she already wants to marry herself off to him. Dina suiting Mort better than Bella, huh. Whoâda thunk it?
The age gap between these two is still just bonkers. I mean, my own brother in real life is ten years older than me, but that still would have only made him teenaged when I was around the kid age that Alex is here. Then again, Alex is only a few days off being a teenager... and if that would put Cass in her early twenties... Iâm talking myself out of an argument here. Moreover, why am I still trying to make sense of this game?
Mortâs LTW is to max out all 7 skills which is perfect for a retired Knowledge sim. And given his existing skill points from his Mad Scientist days, this one might actually be achievable, if a little tedious, repetitive, grinding...
DINA! Be nice to the fish, youâre a bloody Nature sim.
Dina: But also, fishing is a Nature sim hobby. Rargh! Iâm a crocodile! đ
Touché.
Kristen: Iâve accidentally run to Pleasantview. Yeah Iâve mistakenly â run â to Pleasantview. I didnât mean to, just the endorphins kicked in and uh, I couldnât stop... I feel fucking brilliant! Can I sit down in your front room and play chess before I die?
Context:
In full view of that painting that looks nothing like Bella, you guys. No shame.
Mortimer: Sheâs legally dead, give us a break.
Take the painting down then and get one commissioned of sweet Diggy here, she shouldnât have to look at her dead husbandâs sister while sheâs riding you like Seabiscuit.
Who *doesnât* want their pension check to arrive right as they finish woohoo, huh? And while all around her seem to trip over and fall pregnant, Dinaâs yet to have a Mini Mort in the Making after around fifteen tries at this point. I think thatâs possibly fate telling me to have these two adopt, which Iâm totally down for.
Hey, itâs Joan of Arc haircut tracksuited Romance sim Lainey again! Sheâs everywhere, this gal.
Lainey: Haaaaaai.
Kristen: My legs are gone, man... Iâm a jelly.
Oh LOVERS UPSTAIRS? Alex is home and wants to yell at you about his good grades. Maybe you should get out of bed and uh â
Oh.
Oh yay, Cassandraâs in here too.
My, young Alex Goth has seen some shit in his short life. That said, at least Mort is a good enough father to get out of bed and congratulate him... even if he did do so in undies.
Dina: What am I marrying into (if he ever asks me).
Oh YIKES Cass. Don just keeps spreading that seed, weaving those tangled webs, and bringing families together in the strangest possible ways! I wonder if one day Pleasantview will solely be populated by raven-haired, green-eyed Lothario offcuts.
And now Mort gets a great reputation! Iâm not sure how thatâs possible given heâs famous for shoving and yelling at everybody in â what have I got, like 9 subhoods at this point? â who dares look through a telescope during the day, but there we go!
I knew it wouldnât be long before Dina embraced the Goth Crazy and started playing terrible piano in her panties. And looky whoâs here! The most underrated Curious bro of the three (probably with good reason, but heâs an all-time fave of mine)! Did he jog all the way from Strangetown too?
Cassandra: So I say, who needs best friends when you have robots and a great career in Science, right?
Vidcund:
Mortimer: No Kiernan, while Iâd love to hang out Downtown Iâm afraid Alexander is following me around like a lemming. Yes, well thereâs a high probability of a new stepmother in his life. You know the one, Bellaâs brotherâs widow. Youâre right, I suppose that does make her my sister-in-law. Anyway youâve seen her, sheâs very attractive and young and blonde and Iâm concerned Alexander may be forming a mild Oedipal complex.
Despite technically being on the grouchy end of the Sim personality spectrum, Cass is super nice and actually praises Dinaâs horrible piano playing.
Vidcund: Well Iâll be. Antisocial like me, but raised with enough social skills to keep up appearances. Note to self: Google âhow to trick any girl into becoming your wifeâ later.
Hang on... did Alex bring a friend home from school and I missed the pop-up? Was I off getting chocolate or something? I guess thereâs that Pleasantview penchant for Viper Canyon kids going strong again.
Vidcund has no airs and graces and simply blows millions of raspberries at an unfazed Dina.
Whereas Kristen is so nice that she actually tips her.
Kristen: Itâs a Fortune sim thing. We understand each other.
Interesting, I thought you folks would be more frugal than that. And thereâs Sharla! Oh man, the Ottomi are going to be such hard work. That household is gonna be a slog and a half.
Letâs leave this here because next time, Mortimer and Dina have a date completely dominated by their outerwear. Oh no... itâs not an outdoor date to a park or anything like that... no. They wear their outerwear to a restaurant. They really do. Those delightful eccentrics.
