Hello! this is based on an OC, but may you write about Medic with a cloned child OC? I always thought of him as a mad scientist type, so I’m sure he would’ve figured out how to do that. He basically raises this clone as his own kid, and they’d be a late teen / young adult by the time the events of TF2 happen
The OC is a girl but honestly you can make it gender neutral if you’d like!
Sorry if it’s too specific, but TYSM!
Medic & Child, Cloned reader HC
A/n: This is one of my fav reqs of all time ngl Requests are open!!
Summary: You're Medic's cloned child, headcanons. Words: 636 Request: Yeah
I like to think you’re a clone based on him, or atleast a clone made in his image. One medic is enough to create chaos and things like that, just imagine another person who's almost a 1to1 of him, pure chaos.
Your first day being alive, he took you in his arms and was like “it’s alive!” just as Heavy and Spy walked in to ask him if he wanted to go grab a beer. They were absolutely terrified, Spy just cloaked out of there having the day Scout was born in the back of his mind.
That left only Medic, you and Heavy there. Heavy was shocked and Medic just held you up looking at him; “Isn’t she so cute!!” While you looked alarmingly similar to him with his grin on your face.
Others found out like ten minutes after that and soon everyone was just looking at you with no clue of what to do.
When Ms. Pauling found out she almost died on her spot. “There’s no way Medic is suited to even have a dog, let alone a child!”
Nobody gave af, she soon came around to like you too.
Medic is 100% your father figure (That’s rather obvious) but so was Heavy, they’re like your dads.
Sniper, Engie, Demo and Soldier are like your uncles (That doesn’t include Spy because he’s def a wine aunt, and so is Ms. Pauling). While Pyro and Scout act more like your siblings.
Medic showed you the ropes and soon you were as capable of doing batshit crazy things like him. He was so proud!!
Archimedes loves you, always resting on your shoulder doing simple things like staying with you and Medic during operations on other Mercs.
When you were a less capable child everyone basically coparented, of course Heavy and Medic were like your parents the most but everyone wanted to take care of you so they followed a schedule of who has to babysit you and when.
Once you grew up to actually be independent, mercenaries were terrified to realize how similar you are to Medic, you were the same person, with slightly different looks, you even wore the same glasses he did.
When the events of the TF2 mercs splitting happened (Referencing the comics rn if someone didn’t know) you went with Medic, the change impacted you way more than it did him, you really missed everyone, they were like your family.
Once he started to work with those blue guys you were cool with it, they underestimated you but you showed them that you’re just like your fellow dad, insane.
Medic showed you all the modifications he made and you showed the modifications you did before you both laughed it off like the silliest thing one can do.
When everyone got back together you were way older than you used to be, but fortunately you remembered everything.
When Medic told you about the fact that you were a clone you were very interested and didn’t care, like at all. I mean you’re basically him, so it was more interesting than scary or sad.
He helped you in acquiring 9 souls from some suckers just like he did! (Can’t believe all mercs gave him their souls lmao)
Sometimes you operate on the Mercs when he’s somewhere else, at first they were very unwilling but soon it showed that you were just like him in this profession (which isn’t the ideal tbh)
Everyone showed you something, so you were really multiclass, leaning heavily into being another medic (shocking, I know)
Overall a 10/10 father, sure he has some loose screws but isn’t that normal? You two are the most chaotic beings even the devil can’t contain.
#requests open#request#medic#tf2#hc#tf2 hcs#ms pauling#spy#tf2 demoman#tf2 spy#tf2 heavy#tf2 scout#tf2 medic#tf2 comics#tf2 x reader#tf2 sniper#tf2 engie#medic x reader platonic#platonic#please request

okay i have another 2 promts - 1 silly and the other is less silly
i'll start with the less silly - idk if Grian told people about possible disappearances before 3rd life starts but if he didn't tell anyone - just imagine how Cub would feel if one day Scar and some other people just disapear without a sign, would he try to look for them or try to find some traces and clues? i really want to know about his feelings there
aaaand the silly one - i like to think that vexes can have really weird courting rituals - just Scar going feral with it and hermits just really confused whats going on and Cub who knows immediately that he's being courted on
my head is full of convex
little something for both of the ideas :]
-
It didn't take long for Cub to notice Scar was missing - they had planned to meet up yet Scar was nowhere to be seen, even after Cub waited for the usual he-is-just-late-again period to pass.
Scar's absence wouldn't usually worry Cub that much - he was busy yet forgetful, it wasn’t uncommon for things to slip his mind, and usually Cub could easily reach him by shooting him a few messages.
Concern lifted its head when Cub’s messages didn’t send, indicating Scar’s communicator must be off or out of reach. Realistically Cub knew there was probably nothing to worry about, yet he couldn’t shake the feeling of something being wrong.
He was fully aware of everything the other was capable of, and knew well he could handle himself in almost any situation. He knew Scar's strengths and weaknesses like the back of his own hand and he knew Scar wouldn't be afraid to play dirty if needed - Cub had seen it happen countless times.
Scar always had tricks up his sleeve and half of the time even Cub, despite having known him longer than any of the others, couldn’t predict what he would come up with.
Then again, Cub also liked to think of himself as someone Scar trusted.
Usually when something was going on, Cub was the first one to know. Most of the time Scar rambled about his plans to everyone who was willing to listen, and sometimes Cub automatically had Scar’s schedule memorized weeks before things even happened.
Despite feeling rather uneasy, Cub did his best to ignore the anxiety coiling inside him when Scar still, after hours of waiting, didn’t appear. Whatever had come up was either something important and urgent, or something Cub was confident Scar could deal with. There was no reason for Cub to worry himself sick.
That was until he heard that Scar wasn’t the only person who had gone missing.
Suddenly all the nervousness he had been holding back was unraveling like a ball of yarn. People didn’t just suddenly go missing in large groups like this, not without leaving any trace, yet there was nothing when he tried to look. If it was something planned, someone else would have known about it, but everyone seemed just as clueless as he was.
Things like this just didn’t happen out of nowhere.
If anything, it seemed like they had been taken, suddenly without any warning, making it impossible to leave a trace. Old memories of him and Scar at the mercy of the vex unfolded in his mind.
Cub didn’t really want to think about the implications of that possibility, and what it could mean for Scar.
-
as for the second thing, i couldn't really come up with anything to write but i'll put some thoughts here!
i like to think about the vex as rather silly and mischievous but also quite gruesome creatures - they love sugar and their chaotic harmony of giggles and horrid screams as much as they love chewing on bodyparts
scar trying to impress cub would be like a cat bringing dead animals to its owner, quite literally too. i feel like he would bring the most horrid gifts, things like a box of chocolate and flowers combined with a few bottles of blood (no one knows where it came from)
everyone already knew they're both a little weird but seeing scar happily wander around the shopping district covered in blood after whatever crime he just committed to impress cub is just a bit too odd LMAO
scar is too busy coming up with more gifts and ideas to notice the other hermits' reactions, but cub is very amused by them. he'd love to watch them for longer but he also doesn't want scar to overwork himself - there was no need for him to really impress cub in the first place, considering cub was already basically his :]

6, 13, 22 for Fanfic writer asks 😉
I reblogged that ask post without even reading the prompts lmaoo I just realized that was for organized writers and not little chaotic me 😭
6 - do you have any kind of consistent writing schedule or do you hope for the best?
I'm so disorganized I never even attempted to create a writing schedule. I just write when I have time and feel like it. Whether it's at 4am or 4pm, 50 words a day or 5k idc one bit *whispers* it's usually 50 words at 4pm and 5k at 4am
13 - talk about writing experience that pleasantly suprised you
Hmm idk what to put here cuz nothing interesting rly happens when you're pressing keys on keyboard and trying to shut birbs up so you can concentrate. But here's one of lol moments I had. I was writing some porn per usual and character had to hold their legs stretched up and bent (without supported by anything, meaning mid air) for some amount of time; as biology isn't my strongest suit I had no clue if that's possible for person of average stamina and flexibility so I decided to try it out myself. Unfortunately I bent legs too far too swiftly, rolled over and fell down from bed lmaooo never trying anything again, they're all clamp characters any position is possible with their 2 metersong legs
22 - describe your writing process from start to finish
Brainstorming the general idea, gradually add details into daydream, beg my brain to let me write the skeleton plan, eventually write said skeleton plan, daydream about writing some more without actually writing, start writing a little bit, get writer's block, sob cry die, get an idea for one little thing that makes things perfect, get writers rush and write 5k in one sitting them edit the fic with help of red bull, post that little monster and then mentally and physical recover for next 24 hours - and then another masochistic repeat. Once said rush hit me so bad I managed to write 18k in 4 days, I don't think I'll reach that amount of insanity ever again

Thank you so much for making such a fantastic art piece! Every single detail is incredible!!! I've stayed at it hour what adds up to literal hours today
I'm amazed with the work you put into it. I hope that the asks that I answered were helpful for you. I'm very impressed at how thorough you were in your research. The whole drawing is just SO COOL and I DID cry as I stared at it because of the loving detail in literally every pixel
Again, IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You are very much welcome! I had so much fun, and all of you are making me blush. So worth it.
Oh, jeez. More under the cut; I can't keep anything short.
====================================
Being completely honest, I spent so much time on it over the last few days (first piece I've finished on a deadline, too), that I now have no clue what to do with my life. I'm lost.
And honestly, I'm liking it more and more the less I look at it. I knew I was biased (I see gore-covered-turtles when I close my eyes).
====================================
The details have always been my favourite part. It's the little things that really breathe life into art. It's like telling a story. Whenever I write, I find myself drawing parallels between drawing and writing. Like word choice and colours. Sentence structure and contrast. It's incredible how the smallest little things can completely change a piece.
My sister loves writing as well, and she plans this stuff way more than I've seen anyone do before. Like, she has exact dates and times when stuff happens, so she can make sure it makes sense. So-and-so gets together with so-and-so on this day, they have their first kiss a month later, so it'll be in a winter setting, etc. I aspire to achieve that level of detail one day. A good example of planning like this could be @/kathaynesart's timeline for Replica. Like, most of those events won't be focused on, only mentioned in passing, but it's so helpful to actually understand what's going on in the background.
Also the details are just the easiest part for me. No tricky anatomy, just a lot of time and fun.
====================================
And yeah! I love research. A lot. One of the things I'm kind of working on a bit is going through the different human and testudine systems and comparing them to figure out what would make sense in TMNT (I call it: "Chelonian and Human Comparative Anatomy and Physiology").
(Chelonian and testudine both mean turtles. Testudine is taxonomic and chelonian is more general.)
I showed my uncle a diagram of skin I spent forever drawing, and he was like, "It's Saturday. In the middle of summer." Lots of people think I'm weird. I love it.
====================================
And yes, those answered asks were incredibly helpful. I was very impressed with that whole chart you made, and I'm relieved you already had it. I had like, a whole list on the canvas while I was drawing to make sure I didn't forget anything.
Also, side note, I was also (also also also. So many alsos.) the anon who asked what timezone you were in. And guess what? I'm also in MDT. And also have an unreliable, chaotic, and probably really unhealthy sleep schedule. And then you were talking about the new season of the Dragon Prince, which I just binged, and I'm constantly being shocked by how many people in this fandom I have things in common with, holy cow.
...I wonder where the phrase "holy cow" came from. It's so weird.

Hello! This is my first time ever requesting something from someone but I just don't ever see very many people writing about this(though it's kinda understandable, so if you don't wish to write about it you don't have to). But may I request the dorm leaders reacting or attempting to comfort an autistic(preferable male but gn is fine too) reader having a meltdown over what most people would deem insignificant or just 'stupid'. Like something didn't go their way so they got upset.
7Warnings: Meltdown, overstimulating situations
Wordcount: 3155
Pairings: Ships: Riddle Rosehearts x m!reader, Leona Kingscholar x m!reader, Azul Ashengrotto x m!reader, Kalim Al Asim x m!reader, Vil Shoenheit x m!reader, Idia Shroud x m!reader, Malleus Draconia x m!reader.
After quite a while of dating, Riddle and you decide that it's time you meet the rest of the Heartslabyul dorm
And what better place to do it than Heartslabyul's Unbirthday Party!
Everyone Riddle truly care about knowing his relationship status would be there and it's already a celebration so what could go wrong with it right?
Unfortunately for you, Unbirthday parties tend to get quite chaotic.
And after a while of sitting and trying enjoy, you start to feel extremely overstimulated
The first thing Riddle thinks when he sees you having a meltdown is "huh? What's?? Going?? On??"
Simply because Riddle doesn't clue into exactly what is happening with you in that moment
He's not exactly the best when it comes to knowledge of neurodivergency and how such things, especially autism, can be expressed in stressful situations
So it would take him a second to realise that someone didn't say anything rude or unkind to you
And that what was probably happening with you was a meltdown
At that realisation Riddle is immediately getting out of his chair and crouching beside you.
Riddle would ask you if you feel capable of speaking, if not he would ask if you could nod to answer him
Once you have your communication system sorted out he'd gently tell you he was going to guide you to somewhere quieter
Then he would gently take your arm and guide you away from the party and over to a quieter, more isolated part of the gardens
Riddle would definitely ask if there was anything in particular that caused you to react in such a way
And if there is anything he could do to help you, calm down
He'd give you plenty of time to respond to him, only if you were up for it though
Riddle does not judge you for having a meltdown at all
He may not have a reaction quite like yours but he understands feeling overstimulated by the craziness of the Unbirthday Parties
If you were crying Riddle would give you his handkerchief to wipe your tears with
He'd also offer you his cloak, it's made of a very soft fabric so he hopes that you might take comfort in it.
If you were up for it as well he'd gently hug you
Maybe he'd tell you a little story to help you focus on something other than what is overwhelming you.
But he'd definitely softly tell you that he's sorry he put you in an uncomfortable situation
And that he loves and cares for you very much, that he's here for you however you need him to be.
He may be Heartslabyul's Queen but, you're his King which makes you far more important in Riddle's eyes
Leona had planned your guys's weekly date for after the dorm Magishift practice
So you were politely waiting on the sidelines for the now late practice to end and for Leona to get cleaned up
Like most days in Savanaclaw it was very hot, also like most days in Savanaclaw when Leona isn't paying attention (or isn't around) things tend to go off the rails during practice
So many beastman, plus so many teenage hormones, equals a very rambunctious and stupidly curious group
Unfortunately the opressive heat and the feeling of being stared at in all directions doesn't go well with the abrupt change in your afternoon schedule
So you end up having a meltdown in the colesium
Leona doesn't realize what has happened straight away
All he knows is that when he left to get showered up his Herbivore was doing fine
Now that he's back, his Herbivore is on the ground scream-crying and gripping at his hair so hard Leona's worried he'll pull chunks of hair out
Not to mention the dumbasses staring at his boyfriend like a flock of brain dead gazelles as he is clearly having a bad reaction to something
Hauling ass over to where you are Leona quickly realises that he needs to get you far away from other people so that you'll start to calm down.
After shoving his way to the front of the crowd surrounding you Leona crouches down and gently pulls your hands away from your hair
Before tossing his jacket over your head and picking you up
Ruggie tries to ask about what's going on but Leona ignores him brushing right past him
His arms still cradling you to his chest, jacket around your head to block out some stimuli
Leona has decided that in order to help you he is forgoing the 'going out' part of your date
And that you two will be skipping right over to the cuddles
Now in somewhere cooler, with far less people around, Leona feels comfortable readjusting his grip on you
Laying down with you on his chest a grumpy faced Leona purrs with a vengeance
So you can hear not only his heart and the rhythmic humming of the purrs , but also feel the soft vibrations
His tail is wrapped around your wrist with the fluffy bit brushimg up against your palm
He is a tad bit embarrassed by the purring and the cuddling thing so you don't have to worry about being embarrassed by your meltdown
If you don't mention to people Leona is in fact a softie who purrs for you, Leona won't talk about your meltdown
He would ask what caused it though, so he can kick his dorm members asses for making you so uncomfortable you had a very bad reaction to the stress
Azul is usually a very busy octopus, but he always makes time for you in his schedule
However when you come to visit him as a surprise it can often be a little while before he's able to see you
Luckily for you you get a hefty discount on all items at the lounge.
Unfortunately the Mostro Lounge is very popular with the student body,
which means it gets extremely busy
The amount of people all moving around, the music playing across the speakers accompanied by the noise that the guests make can be very overwhelming
Azul is always happy to hear of your visit to the lounge from the twins
But today he gets a nagging feeling that he should put aside his work in order to see you the moment he hears of your arrival
Fortunately Azul knows his intuition better than you'd think, so he'd ask that Jade continues meeting with his clients
Also quite unfortunate is the fact that for some reason the sound of the person in the booth next to you eating and scraping their fork across their plate is super overwhelming
It's surprisingly Floyd who first realises something is going on with you, so he intercepts Azul to ask what's wrong with you in his blunt little way
Azul, knows exactly what is going on and immediately rushes to aid you
Screw his image, you and your needs are far more important
Azul would gently take your hand in his and ask you if you would like to come to the VIP lounge.
He would guide you to the significantly quieter room, still holding your hand.
There he would sit you down and ask if he could get you anything to eat or drink, Azul finds that a nice treat always helps ground him when he gets overwhelmed
If you did want something he would immediately ask Jade to get it for you, if you didn't then he'd at least get you a small glass of water
You need to stay hydrated especially if you're not feeling the best in the moment.
Azul would ask if you wanted to talk about what caused the meltdown, being completely understanding no matter what way your answer leaned.
He would offer you cuddles for the rest of the afternoon, if it would make you feel better.
And in an attempt to lighten the mood Azul would tell you a story about how when he was younger he would get overwhelmed to the point where he'd go nearly catatonic
And how his mom used to pack him extra lunch boxes so that if he started to feel overwhelmed, he could focus on his favourite foods (made with his mom's love) instead of the stimuli.
Kalim unfortunately isn't the most observant when he's in a crowd
He's used to Jamil looking out for him and his safety so he kinda just assumes that you're enjoying the feast he threw
Like many people not accustomed to Scarabia you find yourself very conscious of the amount of heat and sand that is everywhere. You swear that there's even sand in the punch bowl.
And the gritty feel of the sand on your feet, on the cushions, in your mouth (real or imagined) is just too much
So you start to have a meltdown.
And Kalim doesn't notice over the noise of the party until Jamil does.
When Jamil notices, most likely because he was going to ask you if the food was too your liking, he immediately walks off.
Not sure as to what's going on he'd approach Kalim with his observation, and let him deal with whatever is going on with his boyfriend.
Kalim who is a bit of a bleeding heart, immediately is concerned enough that he excuses himself from the conversation and walks over to you
Being a fellow neurodivergent young man Kalim does know what a meltdown is
He's never really dealt with a meltdown when he wasn't the one having one, so Kalim falls back on his age old advice
When in doubt, do what Jamil would do!
Taking your hand in his Kalim would ask if you wanted to get some fresh air with him.
He'd then lead you outside where you two can have some peace and privacy, so he can ask you if you'd like to talk about what's going on
Sitting down on the marble balcony, Kalim would call Carpet over so that You could stim with his tassles while you two talk
He'd be very respectful and patient with you while he listens to you talk about what caused your meltdown.
Kalim would appologize for failing his job of personally ensuring that the first years had cleaned the sand from the dining hall properly.
And he'd promise to make sure it wouldn't ever happen again
Kalim would happily cuddle with you on the balcony if you liked. If you didn't want cuddles then thats okay too
He'd even get you two a nice fluffy blanket to share when the chill of the desert night set in.
Kalim would distract you by quietly reciting to you the fairytales that he loved when he was a child. The fairytales his mom used to tell him to distract him from the bad stimuli
And at the end of it all if you're still not feeling the best he'd gladly let you stay the night with him, where he'd sing you to sleep with a beautiful lullaby
Vil doesn't entirely know by name what it is that causes you to have stronger reactions to stimuli, he just knows that you see the world differently then he does
So when you came over, Vil had a few candles burning, and he didn't think anything of it
The properties of smelling Grapefruit, Lavender and Lemongrass could only do the pair of you well in his eyes.
By the time your date night ended Vil hoped you would feel pampered, calm and ready to face the world.
Unfortunately for you (and Vil's hopes) the cacophony of smells that awaited you in his room was too much to handle for a significant amount of time
When your meltdown began Vil was confused and admittedly a little frustrated with your behaviour
He immediately thought of telling you that if you were going to act like an ungrateful child when he made an effort to set this up for you to relax in you could just leave
Then, Vil caught himself, clearly he was more frustrated then he originally thought he was.
Being careful to not hurt you or himself he would take you by the hand and lead you into the attached bathroom
Does Vil know what is causing you to stim unhappily and cry? Not at all.
But he knows that whatever triggered you was probably in his bedroom, so he figured the bathroom was a safe bet to escape the stimuli
Vil would talk very calmly to you, he'd apologise for not asking before he pulled you into another room.
He would ask if there's anything you would like him to do to help you calm down
Giving you plenty of time to respond to him
To be completely honest Vil is panicking internally
So he offers to run you a nice bath, and afterward he'd lend you the most cozy pair of pyjamas Vil owns, because that's how Vil copes
So Vil happily runs you a warm bath, keeps the lights dim in the room, and lays out the comfy pyjamas he promised you
All the while Vil is rushing around trying to air out his room as quickly as possible.
His door? Open. The windows? Open. The fan? On. The wind spell he knows? He's using it on blast
Then after the air is clear and you've calmed down, Vil offers to pamper you.
He'd rub (non-scented) lotion on your hands and face. Vil would also plait your hair if you asked him to.
And after it all, Vil would tuck you against his side and tell you stories from on the set of his latest movie, he'd tenderly kiss your cheek and you would cuddle the rest of the night away
Idia definitely knows that some things aroumd you trigger a bad reaction
He may not go outside much but he pays attention to you enough that he picks up that certain textures of food, or certain sounds make you look uncomfortable.
Perhaps his biggest clue to the nature of your triggers is the stimming that he sees you do when you get excited or uncomfortable
This does not mean Idia understands that inviting you over to watch him play a first person shooter the day after midterms end is probably a bad idea
Idia keeps his room dark, and the flashing light that comes from his game on top of the sound of the gun being fired and reloaded as well as screams of pain
Well it is a lot, especially after you were so stressed from midterms
So you start to quietly have a meltdown in the corner
Idia is not the most observant of the dorm leaders when he gets really into something
And he is very into his game right now, and he thinks that you're enjoying yourself too
Its only when Ortho comes in to check up on you two that anyone notices what you’re going through
Ortho immediately recognises your elevated stress hormones and tells Idia that something's wrong
At that Idia finally pauses his game and turns back to look at you
Immediately he knows he's fucked up, and fucked up badly
Telling Ortho to turn off all the LED lights in his room, Idia shuts off his game and turns on some quiet rain sounds
He then would come over to you and apologise for not realising what was happening to you but he'll do his best to help in any way he can
Idia would gladly hand over one of his sensory toys, so you could stim with his tangle or his among us pop-it even simply squeeze his cute-robot shaped stress ball if thats what you desire
He would ask you if there's anything he can do to help you calm down, patiently waiting for you to give him a response
If you wanted Idia would be happy to let you sit and enjoy the white noise he set up or if you wanted him to sit with you he would be happy to do so
Definitely offers you a tissue if you needed it to wipe your face.
Idia feels really bad for not noticing your meltdown earlier so he tries really hard to make sure he's not making things even worse now
If you were feeling up for it Idia would want to give you a hug, he'd hold you close, pet your hair or rub circles on your back.
He'd be so attentive to you until you feel better, anything you need he'd immediately jump up and grab it for you
Malleus knows he often fades into the background
So he's used to being able to observe far more than people expect him to.
Because he is so fascinated (read: enamoured) by your willingness to not only be around him, but actively seek out his presence
He generally pays more attention to you than to anyone else around him
Which means he noticed right away that you were not doing great
Since exams were approaching very quickly you had been studying very hard the last little while.
And studying for midterms is quite stressful even if you're neurotypical, so its easy to see that you were definitely not feeling the best.
As you were quietly working on your studies in Malleus's room, your favourite pen ran entirely out of ink.
And unfortunately that was the tipping point
The moment you start to have a meltdown Malleus is by your side.
He would ask if he was allowed to touch you, and if he was you would soon find yourself wrapped up in a warm hug
Malleus would gently speak to you about how he's here for you, and that you don't need to cry
Gently swaying you both while still holding you close
Malleus would even sing you a lullaby from the Valley of Thorns that his grandma used to sing to him to help you stop shaking and crying
He would ask you what was wrong, his voice shaking slightly as he allows a soothing purr to escape him
Malleus would be very patient, giving you plenty of time to respond
When you tell him Malleus would be very understanding, he knows how important physical objects can be and how distressing it is if they break
So Malleus would offer to get you more ink for the pen, even conjuring it up with his magic then and there.
He'd ask if you wanted him to do something or get you anything else to help you calm down
But he'd also tell you that you need to rest, and that he decided you should stay like this with him for a few hours
So for a good chunk of the afternoon you would rest and relax, being cuddled by a clingy Dragon Faerie
The soft rumbling purrs eventually doing their job and relaxing you enough that you start to feel sleepy
Hello Dears, it's me Jupiter. The past few months have been admittedly rough on me to be honest, but its asks like this that make me feel so incredibly happy. I consider myself extremely lucky that people not only enjoy my writing, but like it enough to make requests about more personal topics. I'm sorry for how long it took me to get this out, but life happens in the worst ways sometimes. But also, as a non-autistic person my experience with meltdowns is very limited and I wanted to make sure I did this right. So a lot of the process was spend overthinking what i wanted to write, and with a huge amount of help from my friend, @offbrandmilk its finally done. I really hope I did this ask the justice it deserves.
If you enjoyed this post and want to see more, please check out the previous wishes, or make a wish yourself.
Sincerely, Jupiter.

° Let Felix take charge in helping you around JYP, watching from afar like a proud father. Even if you aren't much younger than the members, he can't help but become a giddy mess when you literally do anything.
° Since he sees you as a little sister, that also means he is very protective over you. Not even Minho can tease you for too long without Chan becoming a bit tense. He just doesn't want you to ever feel uncomfortable.
° Does many vlives with you, chatting about your life and what parts of Australia you grew up in. Whenever he is introducing you or if you call him during a vlive, he'll call you little sissy.
° Many stays have made edits of Chan babying you or treating you like a literal angel, you both have watched edits like these and neither of you can deny that he doesn't do either of those things.
"My little sissy y/n did great today in our dance practice, isn't that right sissy?" he asked, sitting you on his lap.
"Yeah, Minho Oppa helped me learn quite a bit. But I couldn't have succeeded it without my personal cheerleader Chris." You replied.
Lee Know
° Doesn't make a huge deal out of it, is honestly just really happy to have a new member. He doesn't care that your a girl or a fellow aussie, just sees you as a member.
° If you are ever struggling with Korean he'll do his best to try and help you, even if it is only on small thing such as the way you pronounce words. He admits to finding your struggles pretty adorable.
° Even though he is a huge tease, he'll go easy on you for the first two months. Letting you get settled in and get use to the chaotic behavior of all of them. But after those months pass, he'll start to tease.
° Minho likes to challenge you to dance battles during practice, seeing if you will ever beat him on one. But luckily whenever Snsd comes on you are in your element, showing him the true Gee master.
° Minho has a soft spot fro you due toy your age, he won't tease you too harshly and won't get mad if you don't remember one of his cat's names. All of the members notice his new soft spot for you.
"So I know Soonie, Doongie... And?" you sighed, trying to remember the third cat of Minho's.
"Dori, it's okay. At least you remembered two of them." He reassured, Felix looking at him with shock from across the room.
Changbin
°When he heard that you would be joining the group, he hoped that you wouldn't make fun of him as much as the other members. And if you did, it wouldn't be too harsh.
° Appreciated that you weren't teasing him 24/7, and if you are shorter than him then he would be very smiley and giddy for days. Changbin likes your company and would often want to hang around you.
° Buys you coffee/tea every morning, and only you (occasionally Felix). And when the members ask, he explains that you earned your coffee/tea by not teasing him. Even if they haven't teased him for days.
° You are his favorite member, even if he won't admit it... Everyone knows it. You are his best friend and he doesn't want that relationship to change. Unlike the fan's pov, he sees you only as a best friend.
° Whenever he does a vlive with you, your ship name is all over the chat. Neither of you speak out about it, but both of you don't like each other in that way. And it makes situations awkward when they ship you two.
"I can't believe we're a ship, that is so weird to me." You chuckled, scrolling through Instagram on your phone.
"I know right! I don't get why a girl and a guy can't be friends without people shipping them." He sighed, clearly frustrated.
Hyunjin
° Becomes putty in your hands, he just finds everything about you adorable. It also doesn't help that you are Australian, which he happens to have an interest in.
° He wouldn't describe his feelings towards you as a crush, more as a little sister and der brother relationship. He would feel weird if you ever developed something for him, since he is too close to you to be a couple.
° Very clingy towards you, constantly draping himself across you. Or sitting you on his lap when you are worn out from practice, he often let's you take naps on him. He also treats you to sweets, even when on diets.
° Hyunjin once got frustrated over how JYP was treating you, giving you an extreme diet even though you were already working hard enough. So he'd reassure you that him and Chan would talk with JYP about it.
° Hyunjin can be seen copying your accent, whether it be for fun or just to tease you. He'll copy or pick up on your accent, many fan's hearts melting at his determination to be part of the aussie line.
"I shouldn't be having this cupcake." You sighed, placing the cupcake you've been eyeing for the past few minutes.
"Screw JYP, eat what you want. You are your own person and shouldn't listen to some old man." He defended, passing the cupcake.
Han
° Was the first member you met, even though it was by total accident. You both ran into each other when he was leaving the building and you were entering.
° You dropped the coffee all onto yourself in shock, making him chuckle as he tried to help you clean yourself up. He helped you into JYP, having no clue that you are going to be the new member joining.
° When Chan introduced you to the members the next day, Han was shocked. He was surprised to see a familiar face, but was also pleased knowing you seemed to be quite a sweet and charming person.
° You both are the stars whenever on reality shows together, many seeing you both as a chaotic duo. Doni and Coni once tried to correct you, telling you that women shouldn't be so hyper. Han got pissed.
° Not only did Han correct them on their manners, but also told them that a man shouldn't tell a woman what to do. Many fans and netizens applauded him for protecting his new and sweet Maknae.
"I swear those guys get on my nerves sometimes, don't listen to them." He sighed, patting your head softly.
"It's okay Hannie, I'm glad that I have some older brothers to stand up for me." You reassured, melting his heart.
Felix
° You are nervous to be around Felix, not because he's intimidating or harsh. But because he is so nice and angelic, and you don't want to develop a crush on a member.
° Even if you don't see him in that light at first, it will happen eventually because he has such an addicting energy that surround him. Felix is a sunshine, and it isn't hard to see why everyone loves him.
° Felix wants to make you feel as comfortable as possible, usually being the member picking up pads/tampons for you. He secretly develops a small crush on you, but he knows it would end up bad.
° You both would be worried about it ending bad due to the popularity of the band, Felix's popularity, your new career, and JYP's strict rules. So both of you don't truly progress that side of your relationship.
° It could blossom into something more serious in the future, but for right now it is just a mutual crush that both of you must hide. Your friendship is still very strong nonetheless, and you appreciate that.
"Okay here's a hard question, Back Door or All In?" you asked, as the managers watched you both from behind the camera.
"Neither because you aren't in them." He answered, trying to play it off as playful more so than flirtatious.
Seungmin
° Seungmin is your dorm mate, who always manages to make your nights more calm. He reassures you every night that you are doing great, even if you don't believe him.
° You both wrote down a schedule for dishes, laundry, cooking ect. The only exceptions to it is having a terrible day, birthday, or being sick. Either than that then you must follow the schedule stuck into the fridge.
° You both have derpy photos of each other as your wallpapers, both being taken when both of you just woke up. Seungmin can't help but giggle silently whenever he opens up his phone, looking at your bed head.
° Seungmin helps you out with waking up, letting you get use to the schedule of being an idol. Taking as many pillows to the face as he needs to for you to finally wake up, Once getting feathers in his hair due to it.
° Many think you both knew each other before you became a member, but you both explained that you just understand each other well and clicked when you met. Neither of you grew up together.
"Is today you dish day or mine?" he asked, bottle of soap already in his hand ready to begin cleaning.
"Mine, but I had a terrible day today. JYP critiqued everything about me." You huffed, getting a soft hug from Seungmin.
Jeongin
° Is glad he won't be babied as much since he isn't the maknae anymore, but will miss the benefits of being able to aegyo your way out of responsibilities.
° All of the members call you the babies or the baby line, even if either of you ar taller than some of them. Jeongin is also appreciative that he now has someone to relate to with being a babied quite often.
° He'll still call you noona just to get under your skin, but you honestly don't mind being called noona or unnie. Especially since some stays are younger than you, but you can become playfully annoyed at times.
° Jeongin will warm up to you very fast and treat you like a sister, he'll spoil you with stuffies and share his food with you every meal. Even though mama gets scold him for it, he doesn't care and continues to do it.
° Chan will cover both of your eyes when the members do something sexy, even if you kind of want to see it (mostly to tease them). But you understand why, since both fo you will get flustered by it easily.
"Y/n noona likes to steal my food sometimes." Jeongin admitted to fans, smiling at your playful glare.
"You share your food and insist I eat it Jeongin Oppa." You defend, watching the fans respond to the situation.

✨ If you get this ask, tell us more about your selfship(s)! And then feel free to pass this ask around ✨
Iwa 👏 Kita 👏 Akashi 👏 Kuroko 👏 and I know you got more girl 👀
👉👈 I always feel weird talking about selfship… I’ve interacted with some VERY possessive people who 😬 need a reality check. I don’t want to trigger that. But since you asked I’ll indulge you. 🥰 However, my head 🤕 is starting to throb again so it’ll only be the four you mentioned 😔. Also… these got way longer than I thought they’d be 😅.
Iwaizumi Hajime 💪 (mutual pinning) His years being Oikawa’s partner trained him to take care of me and my chaotic personality. He always listens patiently to my rambling with a smile on his face. He’s up for adventure but also completely okay with staying home if my social battery is empty or I have a migraine. Haji is all about quality time. He sits next to me on his laptop reviewing his work documents while I read. Occasionally leaning over to softly kiss me or intertwine his fingers with mine. He’s constantly reassuring me that I’m beautiful and no one takes his breath away like I do. He’s a simp. That’s also what pushed him to confess. Accidentally telling me how in love with me he is when I was in a pit of self loathing. After that he saw no point hiding his affection. My big beefy baby. Haji always makes sure to have time just for me even if we have to schedule a date night because life gets to hectic. He’s reassuring and passionate, doesn’t let me talk down to myself. He’s my top cheerleader. I have no clue how I got so lucky.
Kita Shinsuke 🌾 (acquaintances to lovers) Long time friends with his underclassmen, Kita has always had his eye on me but he wasn’t in my radar for the longest time. It wasn’t until another heartbreak happened and Kita was there yet again to help me put the pieces back together, that I noticed how perfect he is. Shin is service oriented. He says I love you by doing things constantly that I don’t want to/can’t/forget to do. The little things that you’d complain about to your friends - Shin has no faults there. Having him gently wash my hair while I feel terrible is louder than any verbal affirmation for me. Not that he doesn’t say those words, he certainly does. He makes me feel appreciated and valued.
Akashi Seijūrō ♟ (allies to lovers) Two people forced to work together constantly on projects in school. Intelligent conversations that spin off on tangents. Not even realizing hours have passed. Sei was interested as bokushi Akashi but never made a move until after he lost against Seirin. It was then he realized he wanted a partner. I’m not an elegant dignified individual. I’m blunt, sarcastic and choose comfort over style. Even so, Sei fell for my rough edges. Falling for him wasn’t optional after seeing his soft smile. Sei still treats me like a queen empress. When his father objected he made an argument that he argued back leaving his father speechless. Sei just wants someone to treat him as human and not a prince, someone to accept the faults (few as they may be) and love him regardless. He wants companionship. He’s also touch starved. Another clingy baby. I love rubbing the stress from his back and shoulders as he decompresses from the day. I accept all of him and he accepts me. After being together so long simply as class partners it became apparent we were destined to also be life partners. Sei is observant and compassionate, he’s always there before I need him. I never have to wonder or guess where I stand. He’s always sweet with praises and comforting words. He’s just a bit obnoxious when it comes to trying to prank him, it rarely works.
Kuroko Tetsuya 🐶 (notice me/obvious affection but oblivious to it) Sweet baby Tetsu. Unlike the others, I chased him. He couldn’t fathom why I wanted the invisible man but after he realized I was serious he accepted me wholeheartedly. Of the four of them, Tetsu gets jealous the most. He gets pouty and afraid I’ll forget about him. But it’ll never happen. He needs words of affirmation and I am all too happy to acquiesce. I spit out pick up lines until he’s red in the face. Not exactly what he wished for but he wouldn’t change me for the world. I love how open and honest he is, also his quiet passion and strength moved Seirin to win the winter tournament. Without him, Kagami never would have been able to unlock his potential. Although we are both quiet, we remind each other neither of us are invisible and we both matter.

Oh hey I've got more
Differences in the Jocks Kwami Swap AU
More from season 2!
Troublemaker
The moment has finally arrived
Really at the start not much is different, Penny is having trouble controlling everything that's happening around her, but I'm thinking I might swap what they have Jagged do-
I don't know for sure yet but I'm considering my options. Either way Penny gets pushed to the limit and gets akumatized
Chartreux and Crimson are fighting her as they normally would, while Kitsune is having a whole ass crisis cause her plans aren't working
She kinda collapses on a roof, watching the other two heroes do their thing all chaotic and remembers her motto, the advice she received and follows religiously;
"Life your life with no regrets"
And she starts to realize that the duo make tons of mistakes and never seem to get down on themselves despite how much they should regret their decisions
Kitsune realizes that she's been thinking about the advice the wrong way. It doesn't mean to do everything without flaw the first time, but to have fun and live in the moment, have fun and enjoying life for what it is
So she goes feral
Jocks style
Joins the fight and just follows the flow and in the end the new Jocks Trio are victorious
However, Fu isn't so pleased. He can't take back the miraculouses, but he has to stop this mess before it gets worse
So he and Wayzz go for a walk, and are saved by a certain classmate, who gets invited back for tea
Gigantitan
Ugh the baby
Episode starts with Max learning about the miraculous and Fu and stuff from Fu, who hands him the turtle and asks him to become the leader the team needs
Max isn't sure about the idea at first, because if he can't even keep Kim and Alix out of danger, how can he protect his fellow heroes?
He gets a pep talk and agrees
Meanwhile the class has gathered to scheme a way to get Adrien out of his schedule to hang out with them. They were all assigned secret roles and invited by a "mysterious mastermind"
It's just Kagami
Newly living her life her way, she comes up with something so ridiculous it might just work
Only it doesn't and the Gorilla is about to be akumatized but instead it's the baby
The trio transform to fight it only to receive messages on their devices from a "Shell Shock", which they promptly ignore
When the Turtle Hero does show up, he saves their asses and pulls them aside to tell them the plan and of course none of them are too pleased
However they go with it and they win. Shell Shock explains that he was chosen to be the team leader and the corespondent between them and the "Guardian" and tells Kitsune that he will message her through the magic system thing for when she's needed. Otherwise she is to stay away from the fight
Yeah she's not happy
Episode ends with Adrien joining the class for some hangout at the park after his next shoot was cancelled due to the akuma attack
Riposte
The day has finally arrived for Kagami to try out for the fencing academy in Paris and a lot is riding on her acceptance. If she fails to get in, her grandfather will have her and Tomoe moved back home again. She'll lose her newfound freedom, her friends, her secret identity
Still upset about essentially being called a sidekick, Kagami isn't ik the right mindset for fencing. She and Trixx have a little chat in the locker room before she puts her necklace and ring in her locker
Marinette, Alix, Kim, and Ivan (the last three having just stayed past their lacrosse practice) are there to cheer Kagami on and show their support
Kagami and Adrien are paired up to fight, but they don't have any mats to practice on because they're being cleaned. While they're fighting, Kagami steps on a wet part of the floor and slips, losing in the process
No one liked that
The instructor says that since she lost she can't join and says his decision is final when people mention how unfair he's being
Kagami just walks out, trying not to show how upset she is when she calls her mother to share the results. When asked to challenge the decision and do a rematch, she states that in her family there is no room for second chances and leaves
Then haha akuma time
Having not gone back to her locker, she doesn't have the fox miraculous so it's a normal akuma
Might change some things about Riposte not sure yet
Shell Shock messages Kitsune that they won't need her at the start of the fight but things get rough for a bit there, and he can't help but think that Mirage would have been useful then
The heroes end up winning, Kagami's mother tells her to "stop being stubborn" and to accept a fair second match, deciding to keep her loss a secret from her grandfather
For the final bit, Kagami gets her proper rematch, and kicks Adrien's ass. And with that, she's in the academy and gets to stay in Paris
She goes and puts on both her ring and the fox miraculous, apologizing to Trixx for what happened while they were apart
Befana
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINETTE
The class is preparing a surprise party for her, everyone pitching in something to make it extra special
Some of the classmates discuss their gifts to her while preparing, Nino with his playlist for the party, Mylene with a plush from one of those animal charities, Alix with a collection of recipes and some spare fabric she got from her grandma all the way from Egypt
And Juleka with a CD of "background noise" music she and Luka made with Marinette in mind
As that's happening Gina (?) Shows up for her annual Nonna and Mari day, which Tom forgot about because of how excited he was for the surprise party idea
Rather than what happens in canon, Gina and Marinette take turns choosing a small activity to do together, just like every year. After a trip to some candy shop, Gina's about to have her final turn where she planned to give Marinette her gift
That's when Alya calls Marinette and claims that she's got a huge scoop and needs her trusty moderator to help her out
Marinette doesn't want to miss out on the little time she gets with her Nonna but Gina just insists she go cause it sounded important. She leaves after saying she'll see Marinette back home later
The Birthday Girl shows up to the surprise party and she's actually surprised this time cause she was so focused on picking the perfect activities for her and Gina that she didn't see the clues
Befana happens when Tom tells his mom that Marinette is at a birthday party and she gets mad that her own granddaughter felt the need to lie as if she wouldn't let her go to her own party if she asked
There's a bit of a detail about Marinette not even taking any of the candies with her, even though it's both of their favourite
I liked Befana's powers well enough, I thought that it was pretty cool. It's based on La Befana, who I believe is basically Italian Santa?? It's cool
The heroes struggle to sneak away while some of their classmates are turned to stone or into those weird angels, all while trying to keep Marinette safe
Shell Shock and Chartreux are the most successful, since Kagami and Kim are trying to protect the birthday girl
They do get a chance to transform and Shell Shock comes up with a complicated plan to stop the akuma
So obviously it gets screwed up at some point
Once the fight is done, Marinette tries to talk to Gina and explain everything, making it clear that she loves their days together
This is when Gina gives her the gift, er, gifts. First is a bag meant to allow Mari to bring some if her sewing stuff on the go
The second is a jacket just like Gina's, only it has the little blossoms from Marinette's shirt and shit, and announces that she's staying in Paris for a while longer, promising to take Marinette on a proper bike trip
Here's the next four episodes planned! I'm nearly done with season 3 now and I'm gonna wait to do another Differences post while I figure things out with 2 and 3 lmao
I hope y'all like my plans for these episodes, so let me know what you think! Suggestions, complaints, compliments, I'll take em all

Body Swap 👫 (Iwaizumi Hajime/Reader) ➸Rated T, fem!Reader, 1.9k words ➷✈Part 1, Part 2 ➷Humor, awkwardness involved, if you’re me and I’m you who’s flying the plane?! ➷Summary: When you woke up at fuck o’clock on a Sunday morning, you cursed yourself for setting an alarm so early on the weekend. Afterwards, you came to realize a few important things: 1. You didn’t set the alarm. 2. Hajime set the alarm. 3. You were in Hajime’s room. 4. Why? 5. Because you ARE Hajime.
A/N: I’m taking forever on this Akaashi fic so I decided to throw this series out here, I hope you enjoy!🥺 Body swap is a trope I find absolutely chaotic and hilarious, so let’s get it!
♡ ♡ ♡
Releasing a deep sigh, you pull your warm comforter over your face to hide the light peaking in from your blinds.
You're almost positive you closed the blinds and pulled the curtain over the prior night, but the thought doesn't sit much longer as you're lulled back into your slumber.
Hearing your alarm blare, a groan scratches at your throat as you smack your bedside desk, missing your phone entirely. Was your voice always this deep when you first wake up? You chalk it up to morning grogginess, deciding not to dwell on it any longer due to the obnoxious ringtone.
Also, did you even set an alarm? The thought sits at the back of your mind as you fiddle blindly for the sleep button.
It's Sunday, why would you even set one so early? How did you fuck that up?
Sitting upright, you blink blearily. Something feels off.
This isn't even your phone. These aren't your covers either...
The Godzilla posters decorating the walls definitely aren't yours, and this most certainly is not your room.
‘Hajime?’
You think looking around. This is definitely Hajime’s room. You hadn’t been in it in awhile, but it’s unmistakable.
You wrack your brain for the missing details, unfortunately coming to no result or explanation.
Why are you in Hajime’s room?! You didn’t drink last night, so there's no explanation for the missing details in your memory for how you wound up in his sheets. Also, he isn’t here currently.
What the hell?
Shoving the covers aside, you immediately notice your... significantly more masculine figure.
“What the fu—AH!”
Your surprisingly gruff voice startles you. Though, it’s not so much your voice, but Hajime’s.
Stumbling out of bed, nearly tripping over your tired legs, you barrel into Hajime's bathroom to check the mirror.
And despite all the clues handed to you, you're still completely stunned to see who's staring back at you in the mirror.
Your childhood best friend, Iwaizumi Hajime.
Cupping your hand over your mouth to stifle a scream, you pace back to the bedroom.
'It's a dream haha. A hyper realistic, very detailed, dream.'
You attempt to convince yourself as you slip back into the sheets, still warm, cursing your subconscious for forcing this abnormal dream onto your unwitting self.
Squeezing your eyes shut, twisting and turning, willing away your current situation, you realize... nothing is happening.
‘God damnit.’
You don't know who's fault this is, but it's probably Tooru's.
If you're Hajime then, yes you're starting to accept this fucked up situation, that that must mean Hajime is...
Shooting back up to a sitting position, you curse at the ache in your abdominal region. Jesus, how hard did Hajime go at practice?
Also, you can't believe you have Hajime’s abs right now.
Throwing on a random t-shirt and pair of sweats, decidedly not thinking about his abs, and how he was sleeping in briefs only, you jogs downstairs like a mad man.
Completely forgoing shoes, you cross the street and use the hidden key stuck in a potted plant to open the front door.
You're positive by now your parents have left for work, and Tooru is more than likely sleeping in after staying up late last night (no doubt pouring over tournament videos), so there's no chance for interruption from either party.
Not that your parents would question Hajime's presence, but you really aren't in the mood for doing small talk with your own parents while pretending to be Hajime.
You head straight up the stairs for your room, swinging the door wide open.
“That’s... me.... augh, this is so weird!”
You run a hand through your hair, almost startled by the different texture. This will definitely take some getting used to.
...Also, was Hajime’s hair always this soft?
You physically dash that train of thought from your mind, shaking your head. You remind yourself of the task at hand and your current dilemma, crossing the threshold of your room.
You shuffle over to the bed, climbing on top of the covers.
If that’s Hajime, he’s no doubt gonna freak out over seeing himself wake himself up.
Well, you might as well have fun with it.
“Hajime!”
You shake... yourself, watching your eyes blink open.
“Wha—?”
The physical-You blinks awake, catching eyes with physical-Hajime.
“What the f—”
You cover presumably Hajime's mouth (you're mildly hoping there hasn't been an awful three-way swap between you two and Tooru),
"Hajime! Confess to your sins!"
"I— What the fuck?! I haven't done anything! You're— How are you me! I'm me! Why is my voice—"
Hajime is quite clearly panicking and word vomiting his stress. And while it was a little funny at first, you're starting to feel a bit bad.
"Alright alright, before you go full panic, look in the mirror. I know this seems like bullshit, but it’s me!”
You lean back, gesturing to the mirror above the dresser.
Hajime’s eyes furrow, following your gesture before locking eyes with... Your eyes in the mirror.
But that’s definitely him moving like that, lifting his arms, tilting his head. Or rather, your arms, your head, fuck, this is confusing.
“Why the fuck am I you?” after a momentary pause, “What did Oikawa do?”
Hajime snarls, and it sounds odd coming from your tone.
“I was hoping you’d know the answer to that. I came here as soon as I woke up.”
“Well, this all better be a really fucked up, disgustingly realistic dream I’m having.”
Hajime sighs, rubbing his eyes.
“I really don’t think it is. I already went through that crisis.”
You pout, and Hajime raps you on the forehead.
“Don’t make faces like that with my face, you’re freaking me out!”
“Me? You have the biggest resting bitch face ever! It’s scary on me!”
His expression softens marginally, after a deep frown.
“Well... I guess we should figure out a way to fix this.”
“How’re we gonna do that!?”
You whine, and Hajime cringes at the way it sounded coming out of his mouth.
“No clue. In the mean time, we should try and keep this a secret and attend classes like normal. Also—”
He cuts himself, frowning deeply.
“What?”
“Shittykawa. Volleyball.”
“Aw fuck!”
You groan, falling back into your sheets at the foot of the bed.
“How are we gonna pull that off?!”
“Just talk to Oikawa like I would, and I’m sure I could... do the same.”
You somehow doubt that will work, and you can plainly see Hajime is going to have an issue conversing with Tooru in your mannerisms. Tooru has known the both of you longer than anyone else, and tends to be perceptive in and out of volleyball. Regardless, you have no choice but to have faith in Hajime's plan, even if it is lacking the finer details.
“As far as volleyball...?”
You tilt your head, chewing at your cheek at the thought of club activities in an entirely different body. Hajime rubs his hair, briefly startled by it being... not his hair.
You bring up very valid concerns. He's the ace of his team, you're a middle blocker for the women's team. Neither of you are especially privy to your respective team's plays or teammates.
“I’m sure we’ll catch on fast. We’ll just have to spend today teaching each other everything we need to know. At least we both know how to play, even if it’s different positions.”
He locks eyes with you slumped in the sheets, trying not to picture it as himself laying back in your bed. Realistically, it is him, but it isn't his mind. But now is not the situation whatsoever to be thinking about the suggestiveness of that image, so he shakes the thoughts from his head.
“Mm, guess you’re right. As far as school goes, our class schedule is pretty similar, so we can just study together. How bout we get ready and practice volleyball at the park?”
The unspoken ‘before Tooru wakes up’ hangs off your lips.
“Alright, I’ll get ready.”
He stands from the bed, before freezing and blushing heavily.
“Absolutely not!”
You match his blush, sitting upright in a flash.
“I-I’ll help you get ready! Just keep your eyes closed!”
You cry out, and Hajime turns his nose with a heavy blush.
“Like I’d open them!”
“Better yet—“
You snatch your uniform tie from your bedside table, wrapping it around Hajime’s eyes.
After tying off the makeshift blindfold, you ponder what transgressions you must have committed in your past life to be here undressing yourself as Hajime.
“God, this is so weird.”
You whine, awkwardly tugging your, Hajime’s, clothes off.
“How do you think I feel?!”
He snaps, but there’s less venom in the tone due to the pitch of your voice. There is a classic Hajime ring to it though, and your mildly impressed he pulled that off with your natural voice.
You make quick work of dressing him in athletic wear, not wanting to suffer in the stifling awkwardness any longer than necessary.
He removes the tie from his eyes, averting his gaze with pink still dusting his features.
“...”
“What now?”
You're worried to hear what he’s contemplating, and you certainly don’t like the sheepish, awkward expression stretching across his features.
“I really have to pee.”
“Haaaajiiimeee! Just hold it!”
You turn scarlet, and he glares.
“I can’t hold it forever! And who knows when we’ll be able to turn back. We might as well break the seal now.”
Ordinarily that kind of wording would be humorous, but you can’t find anything funny about the situation you’re currently in. Hajime stomps towards the bathroom, looking not unlike a toddler throwing a tantrum.
‘Damn, I really look like that?’

“I can’t go with you staring at me!”
Hajime growls out, makeshift blindfold back in place. He has an inkling that he’ll be wearing this a lot now, but he can say for certain he never thought he’d be using a blindfold in this manner.
“You can’t even see me!”
“That’s not the point, I know you’re standing there!”
“Ugh, this is so humiliating! Just get it over with!”
You huff, slamming the door shut and flopping unceremoniously onto your bed, shoving your face into the pillows.
You hear the rush of water, good to know he washes his hands, and Hajime steps out of the bathroom feeling.... new, for lack of a better word.
“You’ll have to deal with it too, you know.”
He turns his nose, drying his hands on his pants, cheeks still hot.
“...I already did.”
You huff, and Hajime cries out with indignation at the revelation.
“What the fuck? And you made such a big deal out of—”
“You’re really packing!”
You stick your tongue out, and Hajime moves to legitimately strangle you and make an attempt at your life, not caring if it’s his own body.
“H-Hajime please, I was kidding, I haven’t gone yet, I swear!”
“Whatever!”
Upon closer inspection, you look way less threatening than Hajime ever did, but you hold back the snicker before Hajime can get too pressed about it.
“Let’s just go back to my place and get ready for practice.”
He huffs, trailing out of your room as you follow, relieved he’s calmed a bit.
Your relief is short lived however, and a panic washes over you when you think about how you'll have to go through Hajime forcing his clothes onto you.
[Masterlist] [✈Part 1, Part 2]

coming clean
time: december 2019
pairing: yuri x yuqi + ateez
summary: yuri wants to tell her members about yuqi and her, but isn’t sure what their reactions would be. with great courage, she finally tells them, and was relieved at the response.
“yuqi...can i ask you something?” yuri asked, she was currently sitting at her desk, facetiming yuqi. today was ateez’s rest day, and yuri was spending the majority of it talking to yuqi. they would hang out, but yuqi insisted that yuri stay home, to relax her muscles, which yuri was extremly greatful for, her muscles were very sore, from the long pratices ateez had.
“of course, you can ask me anything!” yuqi said, smiling at yuri reassuringly, and yuri took a deep breath.
“should i tell my members about...well us?” yuri awkwardly chuckled, looking down at the chipped paint on the desk. she wanted to tell her members about her and yuqi badly, but she wasn’t sure how it would go down. the whole situation scared her, and she wasn’t for sure if yuqi even felt comfortable with her members knowing.
“i was thinking the same thing, but with my members. i want to tell mine, i mean, i don’t see a problem with telling them at all. it is scary though, even the thought of standing in front of them is scary.” yuqi said, shivering after she said that, which made yuri laugh a little. she was glad that she wasn’t the only one that was nervous.
“yuqi, you have an advantage. you have like, five members you need to tell, while i have eight.” yuri huffed.
“that is true, but i thought you said some of your members already knew?“ while that was true, some of yuri’s members did know, but they didn’t know the complete story.
“yeah, but hongjoong is the only one that knows for sure that we are dating. seonghwa, jongho, and wooyoung probably know we are dating too, but i haven’t told them directly, you know? and yeosang just knows i like girls, i don’t think he has a clue about you, though. and it would be weird if i only gathered certain members, i feel like they would get mad if some knew before others.” yuri sighed, she knew when she told them that it was going to be chaotic, anything always will be chaotic when ateez is there.
“how about this, we both tell our members by the end of the week, and we come back with the results?” yuqi suggested, and yuri agreed. she could do that, she just needed to find the courage.
the girls talked some more, but yuqi had to go get ready for her own schedule, and yuri was left to her own thoughts. she was wondering on how she would manage to get all of the members in one place with out any of the staff, and what she would even say. should she just say it straight forward with on sentence, or should she give them a whole speech?
“whatcha thinking about there, mimi?” hongjoong said, walking next to her to grab something from the desk, seeming to have had entered the room without yuri noticing.
“i need advice, and i need it now.” yuri huffed, and pouted down toward hongjoong. he looked up at her and chuckled, shaking his head before sitting down on the beanbag next to the desk, and gestured for yuri to continue.
“yuqi and i both made a deal to tell our members that we are dating, and i regret agreeing to it now. what do i even say? how do i even do it? should i even do it?” yuri said, and threw her head in her arms, staring intensly at the desk now. she was so stressed out, there was no way that any of this could happen smoothly.
“yuri, i think you should tell them. they might be jokingly upset that you didn’t tell them sooner, but none of them would feel like you betrayed them, i think. if you weren’t giving it your all now though, it would be differnent. but your working even harder now, i think. so i don’t think any of them will be upset. and yuri, do you remeber us talking about having a movie night tommorow? just tell them then, they’ll be happy that you trust them with this.” hongjoong said, and yuri thought about his words. he was right, the members had no reason to be truly upset over her dating yuqi, because it hasn’t changed her work at all.
but telling them tomorow, yuri wasn’t so sure. even with hongjoong’s reassurance, she was still extremly nervous. it felt like she was about to present in front of class again, and she hated it. she would always let the nerves get the best of her in those moments.
“i’ll stand up there with you, if you want.” hongjoong gently said, looking at yuri’s still stressed out expression. yuri could feel her body relax slightly, and nodded towards hongjoong.
“yeah, that would be helpful. could you?” yuri asked, hongjoong nodded. yuri sighed, she had to do this one day or another, and it might as well be now.
[one day later]
yuri was now sitting on the couch, she was on the end with hongjoong beside her, and they were both waiting for the rest of the members to come back after showering and changing.
tonight, yuri would come clean about her dating yuqi to all of her members. she planned it all in her head last night, but even with all the preperation and enourgement from hongjoong, she was still nervous. she couldn’t shake off the nerves, no matter how hard she tried.
“yuri, you can do this, i believe in you.” hongjoong said to the girl, as if he could feel her anxious aura. he gently grabbed her hand, and squeezed it, and yuri could feel herself calm. she could do this, hongjoong would be right there next to her, holding her hand.
more and more members came piling in onto the couch, and yuri could feel her heart racing in her chest. only two more members had to come to the living room, and then yuri had to tell them. she was thinking about backing out, but she knew that there was no way hongjoong would let her. she sighed in defeat, no matter how badly it goes, at least she tried, right?
mingi and wooyoung finally sat down onto the couch, and hongjoong popped up, yuri getting dragged up along with him. now or never yuri, now or never.
“before we start, yuri would like to tell you all something.” hongjoong chirped, pulling yuri out from behind him where she was trying to hide, and held her infront of him.
yuri gulped, and looked around the members, they were all staring at her, she quickly shook her head and covered her eyes, she could hear some of the members cooing, and that just made her more embarssed.
“um..i’m covering my eyes right now because...you are all scary, but um, what i wanted to say was um, i’m kind of dating yuqi. from g-idle.” yuri spoke, and she cringed when multiple gasps were let out from her members, and before she knew it, questions were being thrown at her.
“since when?” san shrieked, standing up in shock, mingi standing up along with him, even more shocked. he was her best friend, how did he not know this?
“that explains why you are always so....weird when you go out with yuqi.” yeosang said, remebering yuri either acting like she was floating, or being extremly hyper.
“i knew it all along, wooyoung big brained, yup that’s right.” wooyoung smirked, leaning back and crossing his legs, and yuri was extremly overwhelmed, she did wasn’t sure on how to deal with this situation, so she just let it unfold by it’s self, which turned out to be a really bad idea.
“you all are dumb, i was the first to figure out yuri liked her, even before she did!” jongho yelled, and all of the members looked over him in shock, a lot of them wearing betrayed faces.
“how could he knew before me! i thought we were destined bestie’s?” mingi whined, pouting at jongho, he looked like an absolute child at this moment, and yuri couldn’t help the small chuckle that fell out of her lips.
“wait who all knew about this?” yunho asked, looking at yuri in confusion.
“hongjoong oppa, seonghwa oppa, wooyoung, and jongho knew. but wooyoung and jongho found out by themselves. hongjoong oppa and seonghwa oppa have room mate privledges.” yuri chuckled, laughing at the secound up roar that happened.
“wooyoung, how could you not tell me? i feel so betrayed right now.” san huffed, and wooyoung evilly chuckled.
all of them playfully argued for a bit, until seonghwa finally broke the bickering and added his genuine thoughts.
“thank you for trusting us all with this, yuri-ah. and i think we can all agree that we are glad you found someone who can make you extremly happy.” seonghwa said, and yuri softly smiled. she was glad that her members were so supportive, she felt so loved by them, she always has.
“yeah, even though i can’t believe my best friend privledges don’t over power room mate privledges, i’m still really happy for you. i’m happy as long as your happy.” mingi said, and yuri laughed at him, and then smiled around the room.
“thanks for being so supportive guys, now let’s get this movie rolling!” yuri yelled, and all of the members cheered and clapped, hongjoong and her sitting back down, and started the movie.
“i’m really proud of you, yuri, for telling all of them.” hongjoong whispered, smiling at yuri.
“i couldn’t have done it with out you.” yuri replied, resting her head onto hongjoong’s shoulder. as long as she was in ateez, she felt like she had the strength to do anything.

Dating Tom Holland Headcannons
if you’d like me to expand on any concepts, drop me a request! I have loads of ideas oof
also, these are just my opinions and thoughts! so there will definitely be some ooc and we may disagree, but do feel free to tell me which points you disagree with! would love some feedback :)
right i’m sorry I’ve no clue why but I just see him as quite an emotional person? like him being so mature that he’s just fully intact with his feelings and doesn’t ever feel the need to hide them around you because he knows you wouldn’t judge him. like him having a lot of rough days but as soon as he sees you just instantly perking up a little bit
or literally just collapsing in your lap when you’re trying to watch something on the sofa and him just letting it all out for you to listen to as you hug his head to your chest and run your fingers through his hair
him being so scared he’s gonna lose you as you’re literally a goddess in his eyes so he always makes sure you’re happy
him always letting you choose whatever you guys watch (as most of the time he will concentrate more on you than the tv)
he would build you both a blanket fort with fairy lights and pillows and it would be the most comfy thing ever
if you choose to put on a scary film, expect him to be stuck to your side like glue, hiding his face in your neck/ chest in the scary scenes because he doesn’t care about being a mAnLy MaN
he would DEMAND that you carry him up to bed because he insists that if he leaves the cocoon of warmth that your providing, the monsters may get him
him being the bigGEST MAN-CHILD WITH YOU OH GOD
like you two literally just playing games and stuff
playing just dance and him being surprisingly good?
but then beating his behind at Mario kart
also side note but you and paddy would get along SO WELL and you’d spoil the life out of him and play games with him, and whenever you play Mario kart with him and Tom, you’d let paddy win, you’d be in 2nd place and Tom would be all the way back in 11th absjdjd
“well, at least I didn’t lose?”
and both playing animal crossing together and visiting each others islands and his is a mess whilst yours is all vibes and lovely
you and him having FIGHTS over monopoly BSIDHSHS that game RUINS friendships I swear
DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON LEGO HSCGIYSEGCI
him buying you a promise ring AWWWEEE and then claiming it’s because he wants a part of him on your person at all times (so naturally, you never take it off)
him going shopping with you because he’s the biggest hype man and always going in the dressing rooms with you so you end up buying loads of outfits because he assures you that you look incredible in all of them
him carrying majority of your bags and holding open all of the doors for you (which would admittedly be a bit of a struggle with the amount of bags he ends up carrying for you VUGJYBEK)
the pap pictures this would provide!!!
also you going on dog walks with him and Tessa and him always insisting you take his coat if you ever forget yours
always visiting him on set whenever you can
whenever he has free days spending them not doing anything just cuddling into your side
him trying to teach you basketball but you always being clumsy and dropping the ball
if you ever trip best believe he wouLD NOT LAUGH ITS LIKE YOU’VE DIED
RDJ literally adopts you because we all have daddy issues and we all need that in our lives
then tom and his dynamic becoming so much more like Tony and Peters dynamic HDSBDYAB
tom asking rdj for permission before doing practically anything with you
“um, sir, could I borrow your daughter? for like, the rest of our lives?” FUHIFUEHIUFH
rdj being so protective of you oh lord
and you always going to him for advice because he’s a wise soul who can always help you, especially with relationship advice
tom getting low-key jealous pretty often, like although he has full trust in you, he (as previously mentioned) views you as a goddess who is just the definition of beauty and love and believes that you could have any man in the room (which you can queen go off) and constantly being nervous that something will happen
him being really good at not showing it though
death stares from across the room and then giving you the sweetest smile if you look (like seriously, too sweet, suspiciously sweet)
I feel like when you both get alone his demeanour just instantly changes and he goes really cold and distant all of a sudden, it’s almost as if he deflates, the drive home being so tense and him going directly to his room when you get home, but later on he gets sick of ignoring you and goes to you to talk about it properly and makes it up to you
your confidence sky-rocketing when getting with him because he gives the most obscure and yet heartfelt compliments at any chance he gets, so you know they've come from heart with how random they are
“yes darling work that top!”
“love, I don’t think I’ve ever told you this, but you ears are really pretty?”
right I know this is literally everywhere but lets be real here, he ADORES you in his hoodies. sharing clothes is so intimate to him, and each time he sees you walking about so casually in his clothes, he falls that little bit more in love with you (no matter how much he thinks that that isn’t possible)
you accidentally walking in on his lives and either saying the most chaotic or the most lovely things, and the chat absolutely living for it
“Love, are you busy? I was just thinking about taking Tessa on a walk, to that park she loves?”
or,,, “THOMAS STANLEY HOLLAND! IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME TO TAKE YOUR DIRTY PLATES TO THE KITCHEN, I WILL SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST! I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER, NOR YOUR CARER, SO DON’T TREAT ME AS SUCH!”
the chat blowing up being little shit stirrers like ‘oooohhhh she called him by his full name he’s in troubleeee’
Tom just pointing at his phone timidly being like “darling.. I’m live right now..”
“I DONT CARE! SORT YOURSELF OUT, YOU CAVEMAN”
him getting so embarrassed BDKDNDJD
also I’m sorry right but bathing together after a long and difficult week, or after not seeing each other due to contradicting schedules and what not, not in a sexy times way or anything but just being so intimate and comfortable around each other
and obviously this little pamper night would call for doing face masks together and painting each other’s nails
him finding it so fun to paint your nails (even though they end up really messy BDJDNDJD)
he is a magnificent chef and no one may tell me otherwise
having the arrangement of him always cooking dinner and you always washing up the dishes
but after he sees you dancing around the sink, ending up joining you (after watching you for a minute of two with heart eyes, of course)
even though he is an incredible cook, being such a bad baker. like, for one of your anniversaries, he tries to bake you a cake, but it ends up literally bubbling in the oven and spilling over the sides and never cooking all the way through and it just being a mess
you trying it out of pity and ending up getting ill, so he stays in with you to take care of you because even though both of you fail to admit it aloud, it was him who made you poorly
you decide to do all the baking at that point
every time you do decide to bake anything, always saving him the biggest and best piece
and don't even get me started on how well you’d get along with his family
like the first time he introduced you to them they were all so so so welcoming and loving and literally just took you in as their own (not as much as rob did though rdj is number one)
again, always playing with paddy
teaching paddy how to bake AWWW and always getting him the best presents
you, harry and sam literally just embarrassing tom with stories
you and harry deciding to prank tom together because tom pranked you once ages ago but after your reaction, decided never again, so of course you have to get him back
Tessa loving you so much, and tom always being able to tell when she misses you (mainly because he can relate)
having an argument that he didn't think was a big deal and where he thought you were overreacting but then hearing you call him Thomas and it setting in that it is a big deal to you and fixing it
again, please do send me an ask or pm me if you'd like me to expand on any of these! im just overflowing with ideas for this incredible man, so do ask :)

the younger sibling of the cheshire cat pt 2
Sometimes when you fancy yourself a treat and don't have the energy to steal from the Queen you head over to the March Hare and Mad Hatters tea party and sit in one of the chairs and wait until one of the hooligans notices your presence. And the one to realize that you are there is surprisingly the Dormouse, they could smell the steans of a mistuves felin from a mile away. The Dormouse was hesitant at first but when they saw your wicked smile they let out an ear piercing scream alerted the previously singing fools and chaos erupted. You however watched in amusement at your work as the Mad Hatter and the March Hare tried to catch the Dormouse. After a while it got quite boring, so you took the treat you came for and left with a peap in your paws. You and the Cheshire cat were never really invited to their tea party because of this reason, but that didn't mean that it didn't leave a salty taste in your mouth. The Cheshire cat knows that look in your face and scolds you in a joking manner but he couldn't be any prouder. Like brother, like sister I guess.
Sometimes you will end each other's sentences, whether that is on purpose is anybody's guess.
You both love playing mind games with anyone you meet, no one is safe, not even the Queen but that should be obvious by now.
Believe it or not both of you are great listeners but the way you convey your opinion on the matter sounds like you don't have a clue.
The residents of wonderland are lucky that you both have limits to your chaos, but yours is much more flexible. But sometimes Cheshire doesn't have the same energy as you do when it comes to this.
You like to sleep on the open gras as the sun shines down upon you but be expected to be rudely woken up by someone that got caught in the crossfire of your chaos.
Cheshire would never expose your weak side to anyone but that doesn't stop him from being annoying about it, unless it's serious. Like I discussed in the previous headcanon thingi.
As much as he would sacrifice his life for you he would also just as much sell you soul for a cornchip.
Often in big gatherings when one of you is spotted the other is close nearby. Both of you are inseparable when among the many residents of wonderland. half of them being victims of your trix.
Remember when I compared you to the orange kitten? Well I've got some insight on that. The moment you find a room full of art supplies and paint, oh this place is gonna be in ruen. RIP to whoever owns the place. Knocking buckets full of paint off of high places is so satisfying, just watching the bright color splatter across the floor making the concrete (or whatever floor tile thingi) stand out more. Making a water slide out of paint and sliding down it while getting paint all over your furr. You walk on the sealing, on the walls, brush yourself against multiple pieces of furniture and role yourself on the floor. If your brother is there then he will definitely use you as a paint roller. It makes you all dizzy but it's fun. And to end your terror you finish off by planting your face in a multitude of colors and make the Cheshire cat™ stampe on the wall, with a grinning face and all.
None of you have a coherent sleep pattern which means that sometimes you will be so cunfertibole that you will sleep through a whole day(s). Your brother, however, has a bit more control over his sleep schedule and won't hesitate to rudely wake you up if it's an important event. Or just for shits and giggles.
You are the equivalent of Chaotic neutral and your brother is true neutral.
Sometimes yet not often you will visit the library (or whoever has one) and try to read. But you have the attention span of a goldfish and the next few hours will be spent just looking at the pictures and making a story out of that. Or zoning out and just making a world in your head from the first thing that popped into your mind. It makes you frustrated however and it can lead to you ripping the pages and feeling kinda guilty afterwards. The Cheshire cat notices this and tries to come up with ways to help you but in a subtle way, you know how he is. Like reading the stories out loud to you before sleep, or try to reenact the scene from the story into real life.
If both of you had your own theme songs then yours would be “excited troublesome little calico cat theme”. And the Cheshire cats would be “Ghost Story Cat Theme” on youtube. Or like his actual song that got cut out of the movie called “i'm odd”.
As a creature of the wild hunt it's natural for your instinct to kick in now and agen, for example, marking territory via scratching on trees. Or pounding at fast moving things, like tree branches or someone's tail. Guess whos. These things don't happen all at once but rather as bursts of actions. It's like when I flap my hands when I get excited or bounce my leg under the table when I look at something that makes me happy.
Sometimes, but not often you will use your cuteness as a kitten to your advantage. Like if you get in an argument or when you get into trouble, most people's response is to aww at your cuteness but Cheshire has seen it so many times that it's more of a reminder of how young you are compared to him. (he's kinda jealous that you can get away so easily)
Both of you have a ball trying to one up each other with how bizarre you can change your shape or see how far you can go without your head. Cheshire is a master at this but he enjoys making you think that you have a chance against him. Just when you think you have done it. Cheshire will come up with an even more ridiculous way to change his body's structure to look like nothing you've seen before, it's creative and a terrifying sight, like a creature out of a fever dream. The first time he did it, it scared you, kinda but after a few hundred times you've become familiar with it.
Sometimes both of you like to sing your hearts out in the moonlight, not caring if all of wonderland hears you.
The world is your playground and you're going to make it known to everyone >:)

The Spy?
[Haven’t written in a while, please give some feedback! Hope you enjoy! :) ]
[Description: The Marauders figure out Peter is the spy thanks to Regulus]
“Oh stop that bloody scratching Pete! You’ve been doing it all day” James spoke softly, taking a seat adjacent to the blond.
“Sorry, can’t help it” Peter said as he rested his arms on the red armchair. Remus eyed the two marauders silently, still rewriting his potions notes from class earlier. The common room was quite scarce in terms of other students. It was just the three boys, Sirius being absent per usual. Remus didn’t know exactly what was up with Sirius, where he was going, nor what was he doing on days like these. Could he be off at Hogsmeade? Possibly. Quidditch practice? Not likely, Remus thought. James always loved to drag Sirus along to practice, even if it wasn’t scheduled that day. Remus continued to drown in his thoughts, barely registering what James had said. The two exchanged glances, James looking puzzled for an answer.
“So, what do you think moony?” James questioned, looking back at Peter. Remus snapped out of his thoughts and put his quill down.
“What?” Remus questioned. “I didn’t hear what you said.” Peter laughed as James smiled.
“Of course you didn’t. I asked if you think that Evans-“
“That she’ll ever go out with you?” Remus finished, rolling his eyes as he leaned back onto the common room couch. Both boys broke out into a fit of laughter and Remus snickered along with them. It took a solid minute for the trio to calm down completely. Remus loved the little things like this; spending quality time with his mates. It’s like he found happiness in this chaotic world around him. Remus would give anything for it to stay this way. He knew deep down that it wouldn’t. The wizarding world had other plans, those entailed the ongoing war. It seemed as if Hogwarts was the only safe place, besides the occasional dementor. Remus and the others had realized early on that some of the other students had willingly joined the side of the Dark lord. It was rather obvious when certain Slytherins had seemed to disappear from the castle entirely. It came as no surprise when Sirius had mentioned his brother Regulus had become a death eater.
Remus knew Sirius had no desire to go along with anything valued by the Black family, not initially, and definitely not now. Not at a time like this. Dumbledore had practically expected the boys to join the Order, and all four did so with no hesitation. How could they possibly say no? Remus especially felt the need to help in any way he could. Dumbledore had given him a new start at Hogwarts; Remus felt indebted to the man. All the boys had the war on their mind, even more so when the news of an insider spy had broken out. No one had any clue who it was, even Dumbledore himself wasn’t entirely sure who it could possibly be. A student? Teacher perhaps? There was no transparent answer.
The common room door had swung open, and the Marauders had turned their heads; it was Dumbledore.
“Sir” James greeted, beginning to rise from his seat.
“No need for that, Potter” Dumbledore assured, and James took his seat. Remus could tell the man who stood before them was serious this time around. There was no joking at a time like this.
“Everything alright?” Remus asked, glancing back at the other two boys.
“Not quite,” Dumbledore started. “I’m sure you all have heard of the news regarding a spy infiltrating Hogwarts.”
“We have” Peter answered nervously, taking in a shaky breath.
“Very well then,” Dumbledore continued. “The ministry has come to the conclusion that the spy could very well be a student, rather than one of our teachers” The boys looked around, confused as to what they just heard.
“A student?” Remus repeated, looking directly at Dumbledore. “How - why would a student -“
“There are some things even I cannot begin to understand nor explain Remus” Dumbledore interrupted, eyeing the other two boys.
“Please keep up your guard,” the headmaster continued. “I wish no harm to any of my students.” The marauders nodded, and Dumbledore went to make his departure. Silence followed as the common room door had opened again. All eyes were on the door, and Dumbledore had quickly turned around to face whoever it was.
“Sirius, how nice do you to join us” Dumbledore greeted as he stepped aside, letting Black through.
“What’s going on?” Sirius questioned, his eyes full of dread as he turned to face Dumbledore. Remus was relived to finally see him. Where had he been?
“I’m afraid the Ministry needs me,” Dumbledore said, putting his hand on Sirius’s shoulder. “You boys take care of yourselves.” Sirius looked confused as ever as Dumbledore vanished out of sight.
“What’s going on?” Sirius asked again, this time growing a bit hostile.
“Calm down mate,” James spoke, rising from his seat. “Dumbledore thinks the spy could be a student.”
“A student?” Sirius started. “That’s not p-“
He paused, taking a moment to think.
“I think we already found our spy” Sirius said sharply, taking a few steps towards Peter. Black silently drew his wand as Peter sat there timid.
“Me? The spy?” Peter shouted in disbelief as he pointed to himself. Remus and James both eyed each other. They quickly realized what was happening.
“Sirius mate, Pete’s our friend!” James said, quite dumbfounded of Black’s sudden accusation.
“He’s a Marauder for Merlin’s sake! He would never-“
“Shut it, Potter!” Sirius snapped, his eyes still fixed on Peter. Remus stood there tense as ever. He couldn’t believe what was unfolding in front of him. It felt like some bad dream. James took a small step back as Sirius spoke again.
“Regulus told me to be wary about you, Pettigrew! I just refused to believe you would actually stoop so low!” Sirius looked absolutely furious. Remus had never seen him act like this, even when his parents practically disowned him in 1st year.
“Look, we don’t have any bloody proof besides-“ James attempted to reason, but Black wasn’t having any of it.
“Is that right? Go on, check his arm then!” Sirius said sharply, once again pointing to Peter. Peter stood there awkwardly, hands in the air and all. James slowly made his way across the room, and that’s when Peter drew his wand.
“Stop!” Peter shouted, putting his wand in James’ face. “Imper-“
“Expelliarmus!” Remus suddenly shouted, having drawn his own wand just in the nick of time. Peter looked shocked as his wand flew from his hand, landing a few feet behind him. It was over for Pettigrew now. The boys had him surrounded, wands in hands. James roughly grabbed Peter, lifting his Gryffindor sweater. There it was; the dark mark. Remus stood there shocked, mouth wide open in disbelief. How could Peter do something like this? It disgusted him.
“Please, I can explain!” Peter said, clearly quite terrified. He was practically shaking now.
“Explain?” Sirius repeated angrily.
“I-“ Peter fumbled, frantically looking around for some sort of help.
“You can’t tell anyone! Please” He pleaded, tears streaming down his face. Sirius let out a small laugh. Both James and Remus could tell that Sirius was beyond angry. The look in those eyes spoke volumes. Remus looked over at James. His hand was gripping his wand so tight his knuckles were nearly white.
“Oh I won’t tell anyone Pete, just the Ministry and Dumbledore of course!” Sirius sneered, still standing in front of Peter.
“No! You don’t understand, I’ll die!” Peter said, pretty much begging for his life. Sirius was relishing every minute of it.
“B-but I’ll die” Black dramatically mocked as he picked up Peter’s wand, snapping it directly in half.
“How could you Pete?” James said, both angry and frustrated. “You were our friend!” Peter gave no response as he continued to keep his head down. Remus thought he looked completely pathetic.
“You’re nothing but a coward,” Remus spat. “That’s all you’ll ever be.” Peter was still shaking, not looking at any of the boys. Sirius turned to face the other two Marauders.
“What’ll it be then, eh?” He asked, giving a devilish grin. “Turn him in?”
“That, and there’s always suicide” Remus joked, looking directly at Peter this time.
“S-suicide?” Peter gasped, his voice trembling with fear.
“That’s right” James answered, quite amused with Remus’s little joke. As angry as Remus felt, he also felt a sense of relief. The entire spy situation had kept Remus up at night, desperate for answers. He and the others didn’t have to worry anymore.
“Why can’t I decide?” Pettigrew asked, still desperately trying to get himself out of the situation he was in.
“You?” Sirius scolded, waving his wand in the blondes face. “You don’t get to decide.”
( That’s it! Again, I’d love any kind of feedback! Thanks for reading! <3 )

note: lower case letters intended
“i did nothing wrong”, jungkook whines in your direction as you sip on the just creamy enough pina colada in your hands. your best friend is glowing in the tropical sun. the both of you are spread across loungers with your feet brushing against hot sand.
“you are so wrong it hurts”, you snort and look at his skin. he gets tanned so easily, you think in envy. you arrived two days ago – a long weekend made your last-minute escape possible. that and jungkook’s private jet at your disposal. you can hear taehyung and jimin arguing in the water, their bare chests pushed against each other in mocked hostility.
“cut it out”, seokjin shouts from the shore. the boys are as chaotic as every and even after all the practice juggling elementary school students daily, their boastful energy still overwhelms you. so much so that you don’t notice how jungkook gets up and moves closer to you. without asking – as if he ever does – your best friend snatches your drink.
“hey”, you complain and try to push him away. but he is too close too fast, his skin smells like summer and you can’t bring yourself to touch him. the man in question looks at you with a raised eyebrow, clearly confused by the missing repercussion. you normally fight harder for your alcohol.
“tell me what i did wrong, ____”, he orders you and presses the chilled cocktail glass against your warm arm. you flinch at the contrast – the drops of condense water too cold for your body.
with your eyes fixed on the tiniest scar high up his cheek, you answer his question.
“jungkook, you flew away… invited your friends… and not your fiancée.” you don’t know why you have to spell it out to him, but he still seems clueless.
“she has an important meeting tomorrow. there is no way she could have just packed her bags for a weekend get-away”, he sounds more like a son defending himself to his mother than a fully grown man.
“so, why didn’t you ask her? a question doesn’t hurt. and… it shows her that you care.”
jungkook shakes is head in frustration; you just won’t understand him, you are not even trying to see this from his perspective.
“but i did request that it’s added to her calendar… that’s basically asking.”
you wrinkle your forehead in confusion. wait… no, he didn’t, did he?
“jungkook, did you… did you talk to her assistant rather than her in person?”, you ask in astonishment. your friend looks at you like you’ve swallowed a jellyfish in front of him.
“i had to know her schedule, ____. it’s only logical for my secretary to call hers.”
yeah, sometimes you are glad that you’ve buried your crush under layers upon layers of repression. jungkook is a lousy fiancé.
“you… this is unbelievable... i ca-“
before you can finish your rant, there is a cold, wet body pressed against your back. you hiss in surprise, clearly not expecting taehyung to sneak up on you like that. his dripping hair is tickling your neck and you shiver at the closeness of jungkook’s friend.
taehyung begins to rub soothing circles across your bare arms, still caging your body. jungkook’s stare is fixated on your neck, a thoughtful expression on his face as he watches the wet hair brushing against your skin.
“what’s unbelievable, honey?”, he asks and inserts himself in your conversation casually. jungkook huffs at the nickname. he will regret till the end of days that he introduced you to his former bandmates and close friends during a pancake brunch.
not only that you chugged a whole jar of honey as a dare from seokjin, no, jimin ate so many pancakes that day, it made him throw up all afternoon… in jungkook’s bathroom. the things he had to see… just because he presented a new… important person to them.
“jungkook letting his assistant tell her assistant that he’s going on vacation instead of… just calling her himself”, you answer him and look at your best friend. he has the decency to look ashamed, but taehyung just chuckles in responds.
“honey, that’s how it works.”
“thank you, new best friend!”, jungkook exclaims and points at the male hidden behind you. “thank you for understanding.”
you shake your head at both of them. “you both have no clue how a relationship works.”
with some effort you escape taehyung’s hold and get up from your lounger. jungkook looks the tiniest bit wounded at your words.
“you said she has a big presentation tomorrow, right?”, you ask him, more for show than for clarification. he nods wordlessly. “so, maybe she is nervous, overworked… or i don’t know... doubting herself. maybe she wants to practice her speech… for the millionth time. maybe she is biting her nails right at this moment… and maybe… she needs someone with her – because she can’t go on a vacation.”
both former idols watch your rant with wonder in their eyes. are you crossing a line here?
“just – whatever. if you business people do relationships like a transaction, then… be my guest. but her texting you that you did something wrong? that tells me she’s hurt, jeon.”
ouch, his family name does the job and your friend flinches under your stare.
“what kind of vibe is this here?”, jimin snorts and drabs one arm around your shoulder. him and seokjin just arrived at the lounge. taehyung clicks his tongue before answering.
“well, honey just told us we will never be good enough for her”, he summarizes. “we’re just mourning all the never born children we could have had.”
you laugh at his audacity and slap the back of his head. jungkook doesn’t respond, or move for that matter. he seems deep in thoughts.
“so… my chances just got better?”, seokjin asks and some of the tension leaves the air as everybody groans.
“come on, old man, let’s make some sandwiches”, jimin says and collects the oldest still chuckling at their banter.
“take me with you!”, taehyung pleads and gets up as well, “my drink is empty, and i’m not drunk enough to reflect honey’s relationship advice.”
soon, there is just you and jungkook, him still in his own head. you sit down next to him; now regretting your harsh words. why do you have this weird masochistic reflex to insert yourself in his relationship?
“hey”, you say and bump his shoulder with your own. there is an honest smile on your lips, which jungkook reciprocates after a beat. “hey”
“i didn’t want to be mean”, you apologize, “just, forget what i’ve said. i have no idea what i’m talking about.”
you really don’t. relationships only exist as a thought in your mind; your experience is so limited, it’s laughable that you are even trying to give advice. your friend squeezes your shoulder silently. there is a long moment without spoken words, only his touch.
“please, don’t have seokjin’s kids”, jungkook says and you snort very unlady-like.
*
that night, jungkook takes is private jet and flies back to seoul. he just makes it in time to see his fiancée before her presentation. there is not even a note left for the rest of you, now without transportation. seokjin calls in a few favors. still, you don’t make it in time for your session with yoongi. his disappointment only grows when he sees the faint taint on your summer kissed skin.
damn you, jeon jungkook.

It’s Valentine’s Day?
Pairing: Victor x female MC
Warning: lots of fluff and sassy MC
Summary: Given the amount of work you’ve received, the days blur into each other and you can’t believe you’ve forgotten about Valentine’s Day. You had planned on skipping it, but something changes your mind.
Gift fic for @otome0heart. Happy holidays!
When you arrive at the office, you find the atmosphere has completely changed. Instead of being hectic and chaotic, you see your employees whispering and giggling (mainly the girls), but the mood is definitely better though you still have your assignment to work on. Even though you’re their boss, you hate having to put your foot down hard so you will be able to complete it on time and on schedule.
As you’re about to say something, Kiki rushes over to you, looking like she’s on a caffeine and sugar high which to be honest is her default mode most of the time. “Boss, boss, boss!”
“Yes, yes, yes?”
“Who are you going to give your chocolates to?” Your confusion speaks in volumes. Sighing Kiki gives you that ‘I’m disappointed in you’ look. “Have you forgotten what today is?”
“Eh?”
“Told you so! She totally forgot.” Ah yes, Willow the voice of reason and sometimes the kill joy with reality. It makes you wonder what you forgot.
One glance around the office, you start noticing small things, namely all those red, pink, and white hearts. Then there are a few pictures of what appears to be a baby wearing a diaper while holding a bow and arrow. Isn’t it bad parenting to let a child that age hold a dangerous weapon? This annoys you, being left in the dark.
“What is it I’m forgetting?” You cross your arms over your chest, giving them that stern look, but it has no effect on them. They’re probably used to it by now or don’t care.
“I can’t believe you forgot! Hey, there’s still time to buy some chocolate.” Kiki bounces around you. Why is doing it? You have no clue except you wish she would stop as you’re becoming dizzy with her antics.
“Why is it important I buy chocolate?” What was so special about buying chocolate? It’s just another day. Wait a moment, what is today? Thanks to all the overtime you’ve been putting into this assignment, the days have become blurred. You at least know which day of the week it is, thank you Mister CEO and having to give updates.
“Boss, you have no romantic bone in your body,” Willow sighs a long one as if she’s the one suffering. She swivels in her chair to face the two of you. “Maybe that’s why you don’t have a date for tonight.”
“Date? We’re swamped with work. I can’t believe I’m saying, but we need to concentrate on this assignment.” For once, you’re the one who isn’t losing concentration or having a wandering mind as a certain someone who has a penchant for reminding you appears in your thoughts. You quickly squash those as now isn’t the time.
“Don’t tell me your date is work. Boring.” Kiki makes an exaggerated yawn.
Hearts. A baby wearing a diaper and armed with a bow. Chocolate. Date. What on earth involved all of these? Think. You rack your mind trying to figure out what they’re referring to.
Minor comes to the rescue. “Boss, who are you going to give your Valentine’s Day chocolate to?”
Your train of thought comes to a screeching stop. Wait a moment. It can’t be, can it? You pull out your phone to check the day. Friday the fourteenth of February. Oh shit. You can’t believe you forgot about this day. Then again, you have a habit of forgetting your own birthday. Oops?
All three of your employees are expectantly staring at you, waiting for you to answer their question of who you’re going to give chocolate to. Considering who your boss is and your desire for your company to be successful, you have no choice other than disappointing them.
“No one. I don’t have time for romance.” The truth hurts as many say.
“Boo,” Kiki pouts, but at least, she stops circling you like… a predator? “Why not give Kiro chocolate? He loves eating snacks.”
Err…..
“No way, she’s gonna give bro chocolate,” Minor chimes in. What a major fanboy. It makes you wonder if he’s started a secret fan club.
“Officer Gavin kicks ass,” Willow adds her two cents. “It’s a no brainer there.”
A guy from editing peers over the partition. “The mind is the strongest part of the body. I’m sure boss appreciates someone with a high IQ like Professor Lucien.”
“Kiro’s the same age as Boss.”
You plant your foot on Kiki’s as you do not want your age revealed to everyone. It works as she yelps and is now hopping on one foot, her good one. While you don’t mind them knowing your birthday, you do mind them knowing how old you’ve become. Not that you’re senior citizen old, but still!
“Two years isn’t a huge difference,” Willow points out. She knows you don’t want to reveal your age, but she does have a point about the age gap between you and a certain officer. “Not like four years.”
Minor nods his head in agreement. “And you two have a history together.”
“If you take into consideration, the ages people got married historically,” the editing guy counters. “Four years is nothing. Some of them are twenty years apart!”
“Kiro’s a lot cuter.”
“Bro can protect her,” Minor argues to which Willow agrees with. “He’s awesome with a gun and can take on ten guys at the same time.”
“Professor Lucien has helped with the show many times.”
Why is everyone interested with your love life? Or rather lack of it. Not that you mind as you have your priorities in order. It’s not like Minor or that guy from editing received any chocolate. The last time you checked, neither Kiki or Willow were interested in someone. You pinch the bridge of your nose. “You can celebrate all you want. Just leave me out of it… and make sure you finish your work.”
“So if you’re not giving Bro chocolate, then that means I got some and he didn’t.” Hold the phone, someone actually gave Minor chocolate? Who’s desperate enough to give him some?
You turn your attention to Kiki and Willow. “Have you given your chocolate?”
“Of course!” Kiki chirps and then she points to someone you can’t recall his name. The guy blushes when attention is brought onto him. “We’re going on a date tonight!”
Willow just points to Minor. This does not compute. Error. Error. Did she just admit to giving Minor chocolate? Yes, she did. “We’re going on a double date. Someone has to keep the kids in line.”
“Hey!” Kiki sticks out her tongue and blows a raspberry.
Reinforcements have arrived! Anna enters the room, carrying the materials needed for your latest assignment. “Back to work.” Yes! It’s nice having someone on your side.
“Awww… it’s Valentine’s Day.” Kiki pouts, however, she reluctantly returns to her desk. “We wanna know who Boss is giving her chocolate to.”
“She should give it to Officer Gavin.”
“Yeah, Bro will be happy to receive anything from you.”
“I’m sure Professor Lucien will appreciate your effort.”
“Kiro’s the best choice.”
“You guys…”
“We can have this discussion during our lunch break.” You nod your head in agreement. Maybe they’ll forget by then. “Since we all know, she’s giving it to CEO Victor.”
“Not you too.”
Lunch happens to take out from your third favorite restaurant. You originally planned to make your meals, thanks to those cooking lessons, but work leaves you with little time and energy. When you arrive home, all you want to do is face plant onto your bed and not wake up for the next eight hours. Thank whatever deity, they have delivery. It saves you time, and you can work up until your midday break.
Back to the battlefield you go. Your employees have other things in mind as they divvy up your portion amongst themselves and start working. You blink several times, wondering what has gotten into them. Were they not complaining about the workload? Why the sudden change of heart? There’s something fishy going on there.
You turn to Anna. “What’s going on?”
“I told them you’re taking the afternoon off.” Hey, aren’t you supposed to be the boss? “Hurry before the shops run out of the good stuff.” She ushers you out the door and then shuts it.
What about your purse? As if reading your mind, the door opens. Someone shoves your purse into your hands before shutting the door again. You attempt to open the door, but it refuses to budge. It can’t be locked as you can turn the knob. No, it’s more like something heavy is preventing the door from moving.
“You don’t want to give Kiro second rate chocolate!”
“Don’t you mean Officer Gavin?”
“Agreed. Bro is the one.”
“What about Professor Lucien?”
“You already know what CEO Victor likes.”
You resist the urge to bang your head on the door or nearest wall. Time to head over to the nearest shop for chocolate. While you’d rather not buy it, no one says you have to actually give it. You can make up a guy to give it to and eat the chocolate yourself. Yeah, that sounds like an excellent plan. You’d give yourself a pat on the back.
And then remember, you need a ride back to your place. Since you don’t want to give them any ideas, you decide to not call any of those guys. You scroll down your phone list and see the number to your classmate, the one Victor was ‘not jealous’ of. Yeah, right. You decide to send him a text, knowing that nothing would happen between the two of you since you’re female, and he swings that way. His quick response startles you.
He’s on his way.
His quick appearance also startles you. “I was in the area. You know dropping off my gift.”
“Aren’t girls supposed to be giving the gifts?” You blink several times, trying to figure out how this same sex thing works. While you don’t mind them, you have no clue about how they interact with each other. Your research lands you straight into the doujinshi area. While they’re entertaining, you doubt they’re completely realistic. Then again fiction tends to exaggerate things.
“Someone has to initiate it, and since he doesn’t have a clue, I have to,” your friend says with a slight shrug. It makes sense to you. “Have you given yours chocolate?” In spite of his helmet, you can tell he’s waggling his eyebrows at you.
“Ugh… Not you too.”
“Oh. Whoops? Sorry.”
You wave him off. “Not your fault. My employees are more interested in the lack of my love life than actually working.” He hands over you the second helmet.
“You gonna head home or buy something for him?”
Good question. While you want to head home, the thought of giving your ‘crush’ chocolate on Valentine’s Day sounds appealing even if it’s store bought. Then again, he does have a very high standard, considering his culinary expertise. By now, you figure all the good stuff is gone. Now the thought of going home sounds appealing.
“You can always make him some. I mean I did for mine.”
You stare at him as if he’s grown a second appendage. It’s something you hadn’t considered. To cover up your inevitable blush due to your friend being too smart for his own good, you shove the helmet onto yourself. “Is there enough time?”
“Unless you take several hours, you’ll be fine. Hey, why don’t I help you? It’ll go faster.”
“But won’t that be kinda like cheating?”
“You’ll be doing most of the work. I’m there to make sure things go smoothly and offer any suggestions.” Technically you’d be making it, but a little advice never hurts, right? Especially when the recipient of that creation happens to be that guy. Mister Critical.
If that’s the case, there’s no need to think about it. “To the nearest supermarket!”
Levi chuckled as he picked up speed without driving recklessly, making you wonder why he doesn’t seem to be the type to drive fast. His personality fits, but then again, looks can be deceiving as you’ve experienced many times, often with you looking like a fool. He pulls up close to the entrance of what appears to be a family owned supermarket.
“Ah, friends of mine own this place,” Levi answers your question before you can even formulate it.
Leaving your helmets, you two make your way through the shelves. You take your time to look at what they have to offer. For being this size, they offer more of a variety than you anticipated. You wonder what you’re going to use in your chocolate. Of course, it will not be too sweet as he isn’t into sweets like you. He says you’re sweet enough for the both of you. Maybe a hint of sweetness. Yeah. That means dark chocolate. You head to where they keep the baking supplies while your friend wanders through the other aisles. Dark chocolate with maybe some accents of… white chocolate?
“How about some flavoring?” He pops up from the next aisle, completely surprising you into an almost heart attack. “Oops? My bad.”
Once you get your breathing and heart rate back to normal, you see what he’s holding. He has a few different flavors in small bottles. They appear small, but you know better. Since they’re concentrated, a few drops will suffice lest the recipient be overwhelmed with the flavor.
Vanilla, rose, strawberry, and mango?
“Can you bring me one of each?” You request. Variety makes things interesting, and if one fails, you’ll have the others as back-ups.
“Sure.” Levi disappears just as quickly and quietly as he appeared. You swear he’s part ninja or something. Maybe he’s a secret agent. You end that train of thought before it takes a surprise journey.
With him not distracting you, you return your attention to the selection of chocolates in front of you. You read the cacao concentration before picking something not too bitter but not sweet either. On second thought, you grab more as you don’t know how many attempts you’ll need before you manage to make a decent chocolate. Having the main ingredient in your basket, you search for the others. Somewhere along the line, Levi takes the basket from you as it’s becoming heavier with your selections. Not that it was impossible to carry. Having a gentleman with you can be useful especially when you know he’s not interested in you other than being a friend and possibly siblings.
At the register, the cashier rings up your purchases. Your friend and she know each other. Yet, why is she attempting to flirt with him? Not that it’s any of your business. You just hate it when people are disappointed. He is either oblivious or doesn’t care like a certain someone in your life. Well make that four guys you know.
“Levi, why didn’t you call?” a middle-aged man appears. “I would have prepared your favorite snack.”
He politely declines. “Spur of the moment decision, and I have urgent business to attend to.”
“What can be that urgent you don’t want to spend time with your old pal?” He notices you’re in the company of his friend. “I see. What a cute girl you’re with. Whose girlfriend is she?”
“Er…” You attempt to answer.
“That’s the urgent business. I’m helping her win her crush over.” He appears to be teasing you, but something in his tone tells you he’s serious about assisting you with your quest to win him over and especially not make a fool of yourself like you normally do.
“He’s not a crush,” you mumble.
“Who took classes on cooking with me?”
You probably could pass off as a human tomato at this point. “That’s different!” You rack your mind trying to dig yourself out of this hole you somehow managed to fall into. Your brain starts waving a white flag, easily surrendering.
Levi chuckles. “I’ll stop teasing you.”
“You took cooking classes?” The cashier gives your male friend those eyes.
“Well yeah. It’s not healthy eating out or pre-made meals.” You wish you could have said that earlier. As they say, hindsight is 20/20. You hate it.
“We’d better get going,” Levi says, prompting her to hurry up ringing you up. “She still needs to cook and then give it to him before the day ends.”
Once you paid for the ingredients, your friend takes it back to his motorcycle before securing it and then you. He hops onto his bike and then heads to your place. You’ve been to each other’s homes so neither of you needs directions.
“Let’s do this!” You’re very much pumped to make these chocolates. And well if they turn out not the greatest, no one said you couldn’t eat them yourself, right? You plan on eating all the fails anyways, but even though you love chocolate, you hope there aren’t too many of them.
Levi smiles while shaking his head. “You’re like the little sister I never had.”
You turn to stare at him. Family? This brings several questions to mind, mainly about his family which he has yet to share anything about. “Only child?”
“No, I had an adopted brother, but that’s about it.” Levi shrugs and carries the bag for you. Good thing, it’s heavy. He doesn’t say anything more so you drop it.
Inside your kitchen, the two of you clean up and start prepping to make the chocolate. He helps with the set up but once you start actually making it, he steps back and let’s you take over with him supervising you. You decide to create four different flavors. Kind of like the saying, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’ In addition to the flavoring, you have picked up some nuts, because well why not? Sometimes you believe he’s nuts.
Just as you’re about to put the pot with the chocolate on the stove, Levi holds your arm. “You don’t want to put it on direct heat. Use double broiler.” When you stare at him in confusion, he turns off the stove and explains. “Get a larger pot and fill it with water. Then you place this pot in it. Make sure the water doesn’t go into your chocolate.”
“Oh. No wonder why my first attempt ended horribly.” Whoops? You follow his advice and grab a larger pot to fill with water. Once it’s filled, you lug it over to your stove and turn it on. Next you place your pot full of chocolate in it. When it starts melting, you stir it and are thankful it doesn’t burn or turn hard. Wow. You’ll have to remember this for future use. This batch will be the vanilla flavored, some with nuts. Once it’s a nice gooey mess, you take it off the heat before grabbing your already prepared tray. You stir in some nuts and then meticulously pour it into the molds. When you used up what you melted so far, you ask your assistant to place it in the fridge while you start on the second batch.
As it turns out, you have more chocolate than you anticipate. Oh well you did prepare in case of fails, but so far, there haven’t been any as you have a very watchful assistant who keeps reminding you. Maybe you need to improve your concentration and not let your mind wander that often. It’s great for creating programs, not great when you’re trying to do something that requires concentration.
“Why not chocolate covered fruit?” Levi suggests as he rummages through your fridge. He emerges with a pack of strawberries. When did you get those? Oh wait, you went on a grocery run a few days ago. Come to think of it, you wonder why you picked up strawberries as they’re not in season. Maybe they were on sale? Given Valentine’s Day, you wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case.
“I’ll pick up some whip cream later.” When you bring your gift to him, you plan on grabbing some. That’s until you see your assistant holding a tub of whip cream. “What?”
“I snuck it in while you’re distracted.”
Your eye twitches as you didn’t see him with it at all, but at the same time, you’re thankful. It means no detour. After all, he’s doing you more than a favor by not only driving, but supervising your cooking. This time, you know what to do. You wash the strawberries and have your assistant dry them off with paper towels. With him being busy, you start up the.. you lost count batch of chocolate. You get it to a nice consistency and turn off the stove. Then you realize, you don’t have anywhere to place them. You notice a lined tray ready to receive the strawberries. After thanking him, you begin dipping the strawberries and placing them on the prepped tray.
Minutes later, you’re finished and have a messy kitchen, but it’s worth it to make those home-made chocolate. As to whether, they’d taste good is up in the air. You’ve made a few extra for you two to try before you gift him with it. He gets up to start help with the clean-up, but you push him back down. Levi has done more than his share.
Once they’ve hardened, you take out your tester chocolates and divvy them between the two of you. For your first successful batch, they’re not too bad. It’s not like those sold at candy shops, however, they’re a vast improvement on your first attempt… attempts.
Between the two of you, you manage to find materials to wrap up your gift to him. You also decide to give him some of the chocolate as you’ve made more than you anticipated. A friendly Valentine’s gift. Levi surprisingly accepts it and pats you on the head like some sort of cute pet. Hey!
Victor-Victor-Victor-Victor
Since you know Victor happens to be a workaholic and little romance in his body, you know he won’t take today off. If anything, he may be annoyed with the amount of chocolate he’s receiving from his female (and maybe male) fans. You stare at the gift in your hands, wondering whether or not to give it to him since he’s probably more than irritated. A nudge from behind causes you to stumble a little.
“He doesn’t know you’re here.”
“Er… I’m worried he’d find me annoying.”
Levi leans back on his motorcycle. “Why would he find you annoying?”
You wave your hand. “Capitalist CEO. He didn’t become a leading financial institution by being a pushover… or romantic person.”
“I’m sure he’ll make an exception for you.” You blink several times. “You’re a funny, kind, generous, hard working person. How could he not fall for you? If he so much makes you cry, I’m taking him out of the picture.”
You don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Instead you hug him. “Thanks.”
“Now go sweep him off his feet, and remember what I said about making him disappear.” He releases you so you can go to him.
“Right…”
“After all, no one messes with my little sister and gets away with it.”
“I’m not little!” you pout, but the huge grin on your face gives you a comical appearance. You hug him for a second time. “Fine, big bro.” Then it occurs to you if he sees you as his little sister, then oh boy… Victor would be in for a world of hurt should he hurt you. Isn’t that what big brothers do?
“Just don’t kill him. I still need him to sign my paychecks.”
“All right. He’ll be missing a limb or two then.”
You playfully punch him. “I’m serious. He still needs to write.”
“Who ever said it’s those limbs?”
This time your whole face turns red and you smack him with your purse. “You!”
“Feeling nervous?”
Come to think of it, you’re not. He’s distracted you with his shenanigans. “Nope!”
Something falling catches your attention. You see Goldman hastily picking up folders and papers. Having some mercy on him, you decide to help him pick them up. Unfortunately some of them fly too far from either of you and are about to escape when your big brother catches them for you. You thank him for it.
Goldman sounds nervous as he’s trying to warn you of something. It sounds like gibberish. “Slow down and take a deep breath.”
“Later!” Levi waves to you.
“Bye, big bro!”
This time Goldman’s jaw drops. Did he think you two were? Oh boy.
“We’re not in that kind of relationship. More like we adopted each other as siblings… unofficially.”
Goldman lets out a sigh of relief. “It’s a warzone in there.”
“Let me guess. Victor has many admirers giving him unwanted gifts?”
“Ding ding ding. You have won a prize. Yeah, he’s in a very, very sour mood. Please don’t say anything to upset him further.”
You give him that look. “I’m not that bad.”
He returns that look. “Yes, you are. I don’t know how many times you’ve left boss stressed out. I lost count.” Hmph. See if you help him with any of his assignments.
“I guess it’s better I don’t give these.” You hold up your wrapped gift.
“Are those chocolates?” Goldman looks horrified at the thought.
“They’re not sweet! I made sure of it. They’re not the greatest, but I’m getting better at cooking.” You’re proud of what you’ve accomplished and how far you’ve come from being a walking kitchen disaster.
“You made them?” Goldman gulps as if you’ve made Victor his last meal.
You glare at him. “I’m not that bad, and big bro helped me with them.”
Goldman shakes his head. “Good luck in there.”
“What? You’re going home?”
“No. I’m running errands.” He checks his watch. “Oh crap, gotta go before it’s too late. Thanks for your help.” With his papers and folders secured, Goldman wastes no time in leaving you in the dust.
“Bye?”
Might as well be prepared to enter the battlefield, aka LFG. You check your gift for the hundredth time you’d probably stare holes into it. Everything is good to go… except your feet. You mentally shout at your feet to start moving. After several swear words and threats, your feet start moving to the entrance and then inside where everyone looks like there’s a ticking time bomb somewhere.
Come to think of it, there is a literal ticking time bomb who calls himself their boss, aka Victor. The people move skittishly around you as you make your way to their boss’ office. Having given so many reports, you can walk there in your sleep. As you come closer to his office, the people become more stressed out and anxious. You’re tempted to sneak up behind them and yell “BOO!” However, a figure who suspiciously appears to be victor pops up in your mind, telling you that it’s childish behavior.
Even in your mind, Victor is a kill joy.
Just as you’re about to raise your hand and knock, you hear several strange noises coming from behind that wooden barrier. You blink several times before placing your ear against the door. While it’s bad manners to eavesdrop, you’re worried about Victor. Is he hurt? Does he need an ambulance? That’s what you tell yourself when that same figure chastises you about listening on other people’s conversation. From what you hear, it doesn’t sound like someone needs medical assistance. Phew. You take a step back, but being the queen of klutzes, you trip on something invisible (rather yourself) and fall back, landing right on your rear.
“Ow…” Somehow you manage to keep your voice low though it’s not low enough as you hear movement from behind the door.
Glancing around, you scurry over to a place to hide. Why are you hiding when you’re there to see Victor? You have no idea. Impulse perhaps? It’s small. You shove yourself into that little corner, hoping he would not venture further than the doorway to look out.
Victor lets out his sigh which you believe is reserved for you when you’re behaving childishly, looking like a fool, or thinking something he considers stupid. “I know you’re here.” When you don’t move or make any noise, he sounds exasperated. “I’m not mad at you. Promise.”
Since he has never broken any promises, you crawl out of your little hiding place. As soon as you appear in his sights, he seems to be in disbelief. Probably because you’re there or how you managed to cram yourself into that tiny space.
“I heard you went home early,” Victor starts off. He appears like his normal self though you know better. Even if he won’t admit it, he’s worried about your health.
“I’m fine.”
“I can see that.” His posture screams he wants to know why you’re there in the first place.
“Err… I have something for you.” You walk up to him before shoving your gift at him, more like at his broad chest.
Victor turns his attention to the thing you’ve shoved at him. “What’s this?”
“If you want to know, you’ll have to open it,” you tease him. Given the wrapping design and theme, it’s not hard to guess you’re giving him a Valentine’s gift.
“I’m not into sweets.”
You puff up your cheeks. “I know that. I made sure they’re not too sweet.”
His long fingers start to meticulously unwrap his gift. “You made these?”
“Yep!” You sound very proud of yourself.
“Shouldn’t you be giving it to your boyfriend?”
EH???
“What boyfriend?” Seriously you don’t recall being into any guy.
“You hugged that guy twice.”
“Oh, what about big bro?”
This stuns Victor into silence for a minute or two. “You don’t have any brothers.”
“Well now I do!” Wait a moment. “You’re jealous of my gay brother again?”
“I’m not jealous of your gay brother… again? What’s that supposed to mean?”
This leaves you in giggling fits. It takes you a few moments and a stern look from him for you to calm yourself enough to talk. “Do you remember the cooking class you substituted for?” Nod of his head. “It’s the same guy. My gay friend turned gay brother.”
You catch a blush appear on his face just as he turns away. “Hopefully they’re edible.”
HEY! “I worked hard on them. Big bro says I’ve improved a lot.”
Victor motions for you to follow him into his office. There are several stacks of papers and folders both on his desk and around it. What’s going on? It’s never this cluttered when you’re there ever. Victor appreciates his space being clean and orderly. You should know as he scolds you for making a mess or for putting away things in the wrong places.
“If now isn’t a good time, I can leave,” you say in an unsure tone.
“I’m almost done.” Victor ambles over to his chair behind his desk. He picks up his glasses and places them on his face. Without looking in your direction, he adds, “I’ve made reservations at that new restaurant you wanted to try.”
What? You rack your mind, trying to think how he heard about it. The only person you told is your now new big brother while you two were making those chocolates.
“You mentioned it in your moments post.”
Oh that. Making those chocolates and then mustering up the courage to give them has pushed that thought way, way far down. “Hehehehe. I forgot about that.” Wait a moment. “I made that post during lunch. How could you get reservations? It’s hard to get them unless you make it days in advance.”
“I have my ways.” Victor shuffles papers around before settling on one. His eyes never leave it as he continues the conversation with you. “It’s called having connections. You can use more of them.”
Ouch… Does he have to be that brutal? Although you know he’s right, you wish he’d tell you in a more gentle way instead of dropping it on you like a bomb. You’ve been working on gathering connections and have invited a few influential people to your show. Had it been a year earlier, they wouldn’t even consider being on your show which indicates how much you’ve grown and learned under his care.
“You’re better than when you started.” Is this a complement? If it isn’t, you decide to take it as one.
“But isn’t it expensive?” You recall the reviews and how they say it’s pricy but definitely worth it for the quality and experience.
“That’s for me to worry about. All you need to worry about is what you want to eat.”
“Okay.” You make you way to one of the chairs when you realize one of the chairs is occupied by a large mountain of gifts. In fact, they’re practically burying the poor furniture. You hadn’t noticed this, however, to be fair, you had several things on your mind. The fact your gift hasn’t joined this enormous pile gives you hope that Victor would try what you’ve made. At least yours has a chance of being opened.
After pulling out your phone, you browse the restaurants website, more specifically their menu. Their prices cause you to wince. It’d take you a week of work to get enough money for one meal, and that’s for yourself alone. As if on cue, Victor tell you to order what you want and ignore the price. He can afford it. According to him, it’s cheap for that kind of restaurant.
Wow… Cheap. The life of the rich and infamous.
You pull out a pen and pad of paper from your purse. When Victor raises a brow, you stick your tongue out at him. “It’s for random ideas.” As soon as he returns to his work, you peruse their menu. There are a lot of things you’d like to try and most likely to overeat, making a fool of yourself in the process. So this time, you’ll come prepared. You will plan what you’re going to eat for future visits so as to not tempt yourself to eat more than your stomach can handle. For a second, you consider telling Victor, however, you squash that thought. He wouldn’t praise you or acknowledge you for something he considers trivial.
By the time you finish selecting your dishes for this visit, Victor has finished cleaning up. “Will you be ordering the entire menu?”
Ouch… “Yes,” you reply with a cheeky grin. “Hope you can afford it!”
Victor stands over you, looking down at you and your notes. His soft snort tells you he’s read them. “Indeed you have ordered everything.” He pauses. “Wise decision to spread it out on multiple visits.”
Oh my. Did he just praise you again? While you’re tempted to request he say it again, you decide it’s better to not push your luck. After all, he’ll be paying for future visits. Unless he increases your salary, you doubt you’d be able to afford it without having to make sacrifices and live off of cup noodles like a certain someone who shall remain nameless.
“Are you going to try your gift?” You ask as you follow him, noticing he’s carrying your gift with him.
“Chocolate is for dessert,” Victor reminds you, causing you to blush. Right.
“Does that mean you’ll try it after dinner?” You bat your eyes even though he can’t see behind him. He doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head or does he? Hm… He has a knack for catching you doing things when he’s not even facing you or looking in your direction.
“Yes.”
His one-word reply causes you to be giddy with delight. You hope he likes it as you’ve put effort into making it…. Even if it’s last minute, but he doesn’t have to know that! What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him for now.
Victor-Victor-Victor-Victor
With it being Valentine’s Day and Friday night, the restaurant is packed with a long line going out the door. If they’re willing to wait outside, then the food must be worth it. You become excited with anticipation. It may not be Victor level cooking, you appreciate good food.
“Victor, I—”
Some heavy set male runs straight into you causing you to lurch forward. Instinctively you brace for an impact that never arrives. Instead you find yourself in the embrace of the man you like a lot… maybe even love? Once Victor helps you back on your feet, you notice two things… Victor glaring and second your high heel is no longer high heel on the left side. You believe he’s glaring at you, however, he’s not looking directly at you, more like over you.
“Why should I apologize? She’s standing in the way,” the guy argues. Where should you stand? It’s not like there is a vacant spot for you to occupy. Now is there?
“You should look where you’re going. Perhaps you need glasses. I can help with that.”
The guy starts turning red. “I can see just fine.”
“Then you should have seen her.” Victor indicates you.
“She’s tiny. Careful someone might sit on her.”
Why you!
Victor stops you from marching straight up to him and giving him a piece of your mind. “On second thought, you’ll need a lawyer.”
“What?”
“You could have given her a concussion, and you broke her shoe.” So Victor did notice your heel-less left shoe. Hard to get anything past him.
“Gentlemen,” the restaurant’s manager speaks up. “There will be no violence in this establishment.”
“Tell that to him,” the rude guy grumbles.
“How is knocking someone over not violent,” you finally explode. “I coulda gotten a concussion.”
“Mister, please leave.” At first you think he’s referring to Victor, but his next words confirm who. “I’m terribly sorry, Mister.” He’s facing Victor. “Your table is this way.”
“Err…” You can walk but awkwardly with uneven shoes.
Victor understands what you’re trying to get at before you can say it. He literally sweeps you off your feet and carries you to your table. On your way there, more than a few customers look in your direction and whisper. Not everyday a guy carries a girl to their table.
Not like you have a choice given your broken footwear. Still it’s embarrassing to be stared at by these strangers. Somehow Victor ignores every single one of them. Of course, he does. He’s the great and mighty Victor. His name is very much appropriate for him.
At your private table, the manager fusses over the two of you, making sure you’re well taken care of before taking his leave. It makes you wonder if this is the usual service for Victor whenever he goes out or if it’s from the earlier incident. Thanks to you having decided what you want to eat before you arrived at the restaurant, you’re able to put in your order. Considering how packed this place is, you wouldn’t be surprised should service be slower than usual. Not that you’ll make a deal out of it.
Now what?
“Are you sure you’re just siblings?”
You groan. Not this again. “I’m sure of it. Unless I become a guy, he’s not interested in me.”
“You sure he isn’t lying?”
Here we go for another round. “I’m sure of it. We both like looking at cute guys and before you say anything, appreciation for nice aesthetics doesn’t mean I’m in love with them. It’s superficial level appreciation.”
Victor appears skeptical, but he doesn’t push it further.
A random thought pops into your mind, causing you to giggle.
“What useless thing are you thinking of this time?”
“All my thoughts aren’t useless. My mind can be creative and imaginative, okay?”
“What is it?”
You prop your head on your hands. “You should be more worried for yourself.”
“Oh?”
“If he’s going to hit on anyone, it’ll be you.”
Victor is stunned into silence. You’re not sure if he’s against same sex couples or tolerates them. Maybe it’s the realization that yes, there are men who would be after him. He probably had not even considered it much less thought about it.
“And if you hurt me, well you know how big brothers are overprotective of their little sisters.” You somehow recall he’s good at martial arts, very good at it. Hopefully he wouldn’t have to put it to use against a certain someone.
“He won’t have a chance.” Oh confident now are we?
Before either of you can say another word, your waiter arrives with a bottle of fine wine. “On the house.” She places it in a prepared container of ice. You peer at it. Oh it sounds good from what you’ve read. Apparently you’re not the only one who read it.
“You can have one glass.” That’s better than nothing. You’ll take it.
Victor-Victor-Victor-Victor
Man you’re stuffed. The food is too good, but not as good as a certain restaurant which Victor knows all too well, considering he owns it. You’re thankful you ordered just the right amount. Knowing yourself, you’d still keep eating even if you’re full.
You pull out your phone. “I’m going to give them a five-star review.” In your review, you write about your experience there including the incident before dinner and their heavenly cuisine. If Victor asks where you want to eat and doesn’t feel like cooking, you know what you’re answer will be.
Victor scoffs at this though he seems to be amused and overall in a good mood. When you place down your phone, you notice your gift has been opened.
“So what do you think?”
“Needs improvement.” Your spirits sink. “But you’ve come a long way from when you started. I’ve had my fair share of less than desirable results in the past. No one starts out good or perfect.”
Then Victor must have had some fails when he first started cooking. This somewhat lifts your spirits. Considering he has a huge head start over you, you take it stride. It’s not like Rome was built in a day as they say.
After paying for your meal (minus the wine), Victor once again sweeps you off your feet to carry you to his car. Unlike some big wigs, he doesn’t need a chauffeur to drive him around. He’d probably become too impatient waiting for the poor person.
“Where are we headed?” You ask as soon as you’re safely secured and he’s behind the wheel.
“To the mall.”
“Eh?”
“Your broken shoes.”
Oh. “I can repair them at home.” You don’t want to trouble him more than necessary.
“I’m buying you better ones, sturdier shoes.” In his language, it means more expensive and better quality.
By now you should be celebrating. Free dinner and shoes, but somehow your heart isn’t into it. You’re not sure why.
“Aren’t you going to gloat about getting free shoes?”
You turn your head to face him. “Not in the mood.”
“Is something wrong?” Victor sounds genuinely concerned, given how you love to banter with him.
“It’s… I don’t know. I guess I’m not ready for this to end.”
“Is that so?” Victor takes a few seconds to look at you before turning his attention back to the road.
“I’m actually enjoying spending time with you.” Shut up mouth! Why don’t you dig a hole and bury yourself in it?
“Are you sure it’s not the food?”
This time you glare at him. “It’s not always about the food. Believe it or not, good company makes the food taste even better.”
“I see.” No, you don’t.
You puff up your cheeks and stare out the passenger side window. Could this get any more awkward? Scratch that. You don’t want to jinx yourself.
“Why don’t you spend the night at my place?”
Say what?
“A certain someone says she doesn’t want this to end.”
Right. “I don’t have my stuff.”
“Already taken care of.” How in the world? You decide not to question it.
Victor-Victor-Victor-Victor
At the mall, Victor carries you as he’s not willing to risk you tripping and falling due to your broken shoe. Says that you’re a walking disaster with two good shoes. When he teases you, you can feel the warmth and affection in his voice. He does care in his own way, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. It just wouldn’t be him.
When the sales lady notices you and your predicament, she hurries over to you. “You poor thing. I’ll find a pair of shoes that’ll flatter your figure.” How does she know your size?
After Victor places you on a chair, you take off your shoes and turn one of them over. Oh… Right in the middle is your size. You haven’t worn this pair enough times to wear out the writing. Meanwhile Victor stands guard over you. Not like you’re going to have another person try to shove you to the ground.
The sales lady returns with a dozen pair of shoes. How she managed to carry all of them. You’re not sure nor do you ask. She does have good taste in footwear. You try on all of them, some of them twice. So many nice shoes, but you only need one pair. You don’t feel like owing Victor a lot. After some consideration and thought, you narrow your selection down to two.
“Which looks better? This or that?” You’re wearing one of the pairs.
“We’ll take them both.”
“Um… I need one pair.” Mouth, stop moving and let him buy you the damn shoes.
“Since a certain dummy can’t decide, I’ll buy them both for her.” Victor grabs the box for the shoes you’re wearing and the other pair. He heads over to the cash register.
“You have a nice boyfriend.”
BOYFRIEND?! “Er… we’re good friends.”
“Are you sure about that? The way he looks at you.”
You blink in confusion. “He’s probably annoyed with having to replace my broken shoes.”
She laughs. “No. He looks at you like you’re his most precious person, a treasure he intends to protect.”
“Eh? How do you know it’s that?”
She holds up her left hand. “My husband does that a lot.” Now you notice the ring on her finger. She’s married. “Take my advice, don’t let this one go. He’s a keeper.”
“Right.”
Once he’s paid for the shoes, you insist on taking a stroll through the mall to walk off dinner. Victor isn’t happy though he indulges you, and the two of you take a leisurely walk through the building. Good thing this is an indoor mall so you don’t have to deal with the cold weather. As you pass by the window displays, you take a good look at their merchandise. A pair of rings catches your attention.
“Promise rings.” You didn’t plan to say it out loud. You did anyways.
“Those are for children.”
You roll your eyes at him and point at the price tag. “I don’t think children can afford that on their allowance.”
“Right.”
The cute puppies and kitties catch your attention. You hurry over to look at them and maybe they’ll let you pet them! They’re so adorable. Although you’re tempted to adopt one, you know you don’t have the time or energy to properly look after one. Maybe one of your friends will let you pet sit? You’d be more than willing to look after their furry four-legged family member for a short time. After all, you took care of Pearly while Gavin was away on a mission.
Inside the store, they have more than kitties and puppies. They have fishes, mice, lizards, and birds. You’re not crazy about mice or lizards. The fish are pretty to look at, but they’re kind of boring. It’s not like you can play with them or pet them. A small bird wanders to you and starts whistling. Is it serenading you? You glance around to see if the employees would let you pet the bird. Sadly they’re all busy. You reach in and the bird scoots over to your hand before climbing onto your finger. Then it makes its way up your arm and onto your shoulder. It snuggles against you.
“Oh wow, he’s never been this friendly with anyone.” A store employee appears, startling you and inadvertently the bird too. “Sorry. We normally don’t let people touch him. He tends to be grumpy most of the time.”
You reach up and start petting him. He leans into your touch, chirping in content. “Really? He seems friendly.” If this bird is as how the employee makes him out to be, you’ve found Victor in bird form it seems. Maybe this can be Victor Junior? Thinking about Victor, where is he? You thought he’d follow you into the store.
“Miss?”
“Yes?”
“Please adopt him! I’m begging you.”
What?
“You’re the first person he’s been nice to. I didn’t think he would be attached to anyone.”
“Um… I’m busy so I don’t think I can properly care for him.”
“You’ll do fine. These are great starter birds since they’re not hard to take care of.” The store employee begins telling you the benefits of having a pet and one that’s low maintenance. You find out this is a cockatiel. Thinking about the name causes you to giggle.
Between the store employee and the cute birdy eyes, you break down and decide to adopt this adorable creature. This time, you’re paying for him along with what’s needed to keep him happy and healthy. He’s content to sit on your shoulder the entire time and growls whenever he thinks someone is a threat to you.
Cage, food, toys, perches, feeding dishes, something for water, some basic first aid, and the bird himself.
“What makes you think you can take care of a pet?”
This startles you and causes him to almost fall off your shoulder. “They’re not hard to take care of, and he’s cute.”
“All animals are cute to you.”
“Not all of them.” You glance over to the lizard section. “And he really likes me.”
“Right. Are you sure it’s not some sales gimmick?” Victor folds his arms over his chest, waiting for your answer.
“I’ve seen him interact with others. He isn’t social but he’s friendly with me.” You reach up to pet him, which he happily accepts. “He’s like a bird version of you.”
Victor lets out an exasperated sigh. “Since you’ve already bought him, let’s take the stuff to my car.” Wow, you didn’t think Victor would be on board with you purchasing a pet this quickly. You decide not to point it out.
On the way to his place, the bird is content with being on your lap. You’ll need to name him since you can’t keep calling him the bird or bird.
“Victor Junior or Vic for short.”
“What are you up to this time?”
“He’s just like you.”
“….”
“So I’m naming him after you.”
“This is ridiculous.”
You stick your tongue out at Victor. Victor Junior copies you, much to your amusement. “Our son isn’t ridiculous, are you?” You coo at the little bird.
“Our son?”
“Fine, my son.”
Victor-Victor-Victor-Victor
Victor Junior has picked up quite a vocabulary during his stay at the pet shop. You can’t help but giggle at his antics. Since you’re spending the night there, you’ve set up his cage once human Victor has brought in his supplies. It’s getting late and Victor Junior looks tired. He’s yawning up a storm. You place him in his cage so he can get some sleep.
Since Victor is a gentleman, he insists you sleep in his guest room. It appears while you’re taking care of the bird, he prepared the guest room for you. Before he takes his leave so you can change, he holds out a small box. Is that a ring box? You open it to find one half of the promise ring set.
“Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?”
Victor stutters, attempting to deny it and saying that you’re interested in it.
“Now look who’s being silly.” You pull out the ring and slide it onto your finger before giving a surprised Victor a hug. “Does this answer your question?”
His response? He pulls you in for one passionate kiss.
Where the hell did he learn to kiss like that?
