#but i hope it suffices

[baiyunli]

Wait so! Jack confesses he loves Nico and Nico is like “hmm I’m not sure” and then after the season starts and Jack is officially retired Nico comes home one day and Jack is still there and Nico confronts him about it and Jack has to make sure Nico knows one more time he loves him. Is it possible to get Nico’s pov please?!

finally getting around to answering this ask, my bad anon!!

ref - there is like, a ton of drawn-out tension and exposition and whatever the fuck (i say this bc i'm reading back my notes and i don't even know what i was talking about) that happens between jack confessing and nico finally confronting him about it for good, particularly re: jack recognizing that it's time for him to bow out of hockey, as sort of a stepping stone in actually understanding why nico is mad at him and what he's done wrong.

i don't know how productive it would be to outright repeat the scene beat-for-beat in nico's POV but the bare bones, absolutely!

i think that leading up to this scene, there's probably a lot of things that just haven't gotten right for nico - it's been more than a week on the road and he's exhausted and hungry and he knows he'll have to get home and make small talk with jack, because that's what they always do. because it's been just small talk for however many months since jack first arrived and he won't stop shying away any time nico tries to dig a little deeper and figure out what's going on.

jack sitting on his couch is like looking at a memory from a past nico thought he had moved on from but that refuses to let him go, so really it's not his fault when he drops his bags too loud and asks if jack's going to leave anytime soon - maybe not in those exact words, but close enough.

and nico has to watch all of this as jack stumbles around the apartment in the eerie blue light of the tv, and he could turn on the kitchen light but he doesn't, because if he did it would just make this all more real. he wishes he hadn't hurt jack but it's easy to feel distant from it when jack won't even look at him and nico's leaning against the kitchen counter, all of jack's shit tossed everywhere that he hadn't even noticed before. nico doesn't think he's a bad person but he's tired and petty and vengeful and he just wants this all to go away, make it a little easier for him to exist in his own space, by himself.

then when jack finally says it; tells him how long he's loved nico for, how every time when he ducked out of the visitor's locker room so nico couldn't catch him or avoided answering questions about facing his old team or ignored nico's texts, he was just trying not to spend the rest of his lifetime loving nico more than nico loved him back.

and nico just - maybe everything breaks wide open then and there, jack's face somewhere between heartbreak and resignment in the light of the tv. nico's hand on his arm. the tight, unhappy downturn of his mouth and the steely look in his eye, because no matter how many times he'd told nico he loved him in the past few months he had never really tried to convince nico (or himself) that he truly did understand and knew what it meant, to grow up and grow out and offer himself up to someone else like this.

maybe it's the lack of desperation that gets nico, this time. the fact that jack looks like he's never believed more in what he's saying, but he's also ready to take no for an answer. the fact that nothing and no one has ever made nico give in as easily as jack hughes does, every single day, and nico is tired of holding so much resentment in his heart. that he's forgiven so many people, so many times, and just once more can't hurt.

Hello, my name is Mochizuki Hajime, and I'm saving up money to move away from my abusive home. I'm a mixed (Japanese and Brazilian) LGBT adult male. In my home situation, I am a victim of several forms of incest, am sexually and mentally abused, and violence is often used against me.

i like to call this set; feet on the floor? i hardly know her!

[vero-niche]

can i just say how much i adore how Nao-chan's gender is treated so casually in skip to loafer

like, as a white cis woman who is also quite tall and havent read the manga i didnt even realize she was trans until this scene in ep2:

and i didnt even have the time to get nervous how they would handle this as they already moved on, ignoring the comments (just like queer people learn to do so) except for Mitsumi's comforting touch (implying she also heard the comments):

and there were no sad words or anything about this either, it was just handled so.... normally. which should not be something worth highlighting, but, well, you know. also on that note, special shoutout to P.A. Works for casting a woman as her voice actor as well.

she's shown being the supportive and lively aunt and like seconds later in this scene she's back to being her usual self again:

I have this one "OC" that does not yet have a name that I've drawn several times for a couple years. I was thinking that if I tried making them in FFXIV that I'd use elezen as a base... but then I remembered what other race have their near exact hairstyle... and now I'm like damn... I played myself...

My soul in exchange for Wrio in a tux-gown

My brother in Wrio, I do not require your soul. We all needed this.

Even if it hardly counts as a Halloween costume. Let's just say he's dressed as the Dragon's Groom. Or an Unnecessarily Hot Vampire Prince. I don't care anymore

The Duke chuckles softly. He looks amused with Monsieur Neuvillette's reaction. He gives you some Credit Coupons and mouths "good job," then winks.

Hey author!

Could u write something about bodyguard simon x celeb reader pls?

Ps: u are amazing, i absolutely love ur writing!! 💖

no one ever sees the bright, bubbly singer without her guard dog. where you're lovely and charming, adorned with pretty colours and the cutest outfits, simon's mean and gruff, his personality contrasting yours in every aspect.

people whisper about there being something more between the two of you. your manager can deny it all they want, but everyone sees the longing glances exchanged, the gentle way simon treats you compared to everyone else, the way you get protective when people say awful things about your bodyguard, even if it doesn't bother him. the only reason he isn't marching over there to shut them up himself is because he loves the way your usual sweetness vanishes and you get worked up defending him.

it's like everyone can see it but you two.

(simon still remembers the first time your eyebrows furrowed and the fury raised in your eyes before you curtly told a few impatient fans off for spouting nonsense at him. it was an unnatural look on your face, the sour expression settling over your features, but you still looked breathtaking as always. even more so, in his opinion.

your relationship with him hadn't been the best at this point in time, but simon was grateful. he had gently patted your back, murmured an annoyed ignore the twats, and ushered you into the truck.)

he indulges you even when he doesn't have to. he'll rate your costume outfits, go on cute dates with you at the local cafe, sit on the couch with you and watch terrible movies, your body snuggled up under an arm as you giggle at his corny jokes regarding the film. he scares off any overbearing fans and unwanted attention when you're not feeling your best, and he treats you as if you're made out of glass, like you'll shatter if he's not by your side every second of the day.

simon really wanted to dislike you when he first started working for you—hate you, even. he wanted to believe you were a spoilt brat who had not worked a day in her life and leeched off the people around her, but you never came off like that. no, you're courteous, hard-working, honest, and genuine. maybe a bit too kind to those arseholes who simon really wants to pummel into the ground, but you hate when he gets violent, and he'd rather deal with the wrath of your crazy fanbase than ever have to face an upset you ever again.

he loves the moments he has you alone, away from the cameras and prying eyes. these moments feel so intimate, like you're all that exists, and he can't help but hope that maybe you see him as something more than your bodyguard.

It is so nice to find a blog for platonic yandere relationships! Your work is gourmet!

Have you ever thought about an alien researcher, one who was assigned to document the human race? They find that adults and children act very separately, but you seem to be an adult, but your behavior says otherwise. They decide to abduct you, for "research".

(Secretly they've become obsessed, they are fascinated by you and want to keep you as their own.)

Very silly, I know! Be sure to drink your water today! - 🐀

Ahhh I love this idea so much!!! >w< (Thank you!! I'll try to drink some, you do as well!)

'Why are you so strange for your kind? What makes you different?' Legitimate questions going through their mind as they observe you eagerly browsing the toy section of a store. You're... quite childlike, although alien is sure you're in adulthood for humans. It's a bit cute they have to admit, watching you hug a plushie to your just chest with the brightest smile on your face. Hmm...

They follow you home. They're a scientist after all! Their job is to investigate and that's exactly what they shall do, it's purely for research purposes.

Watching you regress is fascinating... they don't think it's a species wide behavior, but maybe something certain individuals do. For what reason though? They simply have to take you up to their ship to get to the bottom of it! (It's not like they want to take care of you, definitely not!)

They feel so bad when you're scared and crying- they didn't mean to make you frightened! Horrible at soothing you because they don't even engage with young of their own species often let alone a human that acts like a child at times- please stop!

Once you've settled down (exhausted yourself) they're picking you up and awkwardly rubbing your back. It's ok, they just need to borrow you for a bit and then you'll be returned home! It's like an um.. adventure! And they'll be so thankful for you helping them, you want to be a good kid, right?

(Alien spinning some sob story about desperately needing something to report.. pulling on your heartstrings and only feeling a little guilty for manipulating you, it wasn't a complete lie!)

When you're finally asleep they're looking up any resource on human young they can find- searching through articles and even parenting books. Determined to be good at looking after you even if they fumble and make mistakes. (Alien calling back to base to ask for advice.. why are they asking? No reason. They're just curious, commander..)

Bringing you toys from their home planet that you can play with as a "test" but really they just think it's adorable! Trying to quiet the pur in their chest as they observe you, tablet out for note-taking, which is actually them taking photos of you to look at later..
