warnings : Drunk Megumi >_< pre-relationship! Underaged drinking? Kind of? Just literally pure fluff. English isn’t my first language so plz don’t flame me :’) Modern Au!! :D and they are seniors in high school?? (Both reader and Megumi is 17) FIRST FIC open to criticism :) NOT PROOFREAD 😭

Word count : 700+

☆゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜★

Clashing was heard as a student stumbled across the hallway of the dormitory as high heels clacked loudly on the wooden floor , chasing the unknown drunk. You quickly closed your textbook , that you were skimming through , to peek your head out of your door.

“Shh..Shut up!” Nobara whispered as loud as she can to not alert other students but to reprimand as well. Her eyes glimmered when she saw you.

“…..Hi pretty.” Her gaze soften. Your hair fell across your face as your lips parted at the sight of Megumi’s collar being pulled. Nobara dressed nicely , her shirt tucked in her long beige skirt.

“Were you guys out?…..before an exam day?” You questioned.

“This is Gojo’s fault I must say. He thought it would be a good idea to let Megumi…. drink for the first time.” She sneered while looking down at the unconscious figure. She clearly looked a little tipsy as well , she just handled it well. Megumi quickly escaped from her grasp to stand still , holding the walls.

“I’m gonna crash out. All yours. Bye!” Nobara blew a kiss and ran away. She obviously knew your infatuation with him and wanted to give you a chance. He laid his back on the walls as he hung his head low. His hair was all messy and his forehead shining with sweat.

“….Fushiguro?” You tilted your head to try to look at his face but flinched when he shot his head up. He mumbled something under his breath that you couldn’t quite decipher.

“….Wanna come in?-“ He rushed towards you from the hallway to the door , wrapping his arms around you gently. His head rested on shoulder , his muscles tightening as you graze your fingers on back , patting him awkwardly.

You pulled your hand out to close the door as you felt yourself pushed back into your dorm. The door shut before he pushed you on your bed , your hair sprawled out. Your hands were on the bed at the sides of your head.

“Why didn’t you come for drinks.” Megumi trapped you with both his arms on the side of your head. You could smell the stench of alcohol in his breath.

“‘Was studying.” You chuckled. Megumi buried his head in your neck , pushing his weight onto you. You could feel your neck soaking up his tears as he sniffled.

“Time out..” You patted his back once again. He lifted himself up and sat on the bed as you sat up. His cheeks were still stained with his tears before you quickly wiped them with your hand. You stood up , getting him a glass of water and sat down again. He took a small sip and placed it on your side table.

“Gojo forced me to drink.” He muttered. “I see.” You nodded understandingly.

“I miss you.” He murmured while looking at your table , messy with books. “I see.” You cringed at your response , cheeks blushing with the tint of beetroot.

“You still miss me?” You responded with another. “Am I with you?” He tilted his head towards you , questioning.

“……yes?” You answer unknowingly.

“No.” Megumi suddenly said as the correct answer. You tilted your head towards your shoulder , confused with his statement.

“‘M not with you.” He repeated. You bit your lip , grimacing at your slow-witted brain.

“You’re real dense.” He chuckled and you just shrugged. His laughter echoed through your mind like a fossil of your brain. That’s when you finally realised what he meant and you buried your face in your lap before he patted your back. You brought yourself back up and started stuttering.

“Meg- ‘M sorry. Fushiguro-“ You were cut off again when he tapped your chin up , silencing yourself before kissing you. His mouth still reeked of alcohol and you were sure you were going to get drunk too. Your hands crept up to his neck as he caressed your back , deepening the kiss. He pulled away , a string of saliva intertwined your lips like an invisible red string.

A single tear fell on your cheek but soon more came falling down like a waterfall. He quickly wiped them with his soft graze before he passed you the glass of water you had given him before. You took a small sip before placing it on the other side of your night table.

Megumi pulled you on his lap and instinctively started rubbing your back when you rested your head on his shoulder.

……You were the drunk one. He had forced down a glass of love down your throat and you wouldn’t know if you could cry if it wasn’t drank.

It’s crazy because I can count on my fingers the amount of times I’d been in that girls car, man. 4 times. The first time was when we first hung out and met each other back in February. We met on tumblr but she lived in Chicago so we just decided to meet in person. We went to the movies, saw Paprika, and she took me home. Second time was a while later back when I was still working as a concierge at my last job. This was probably in June since before we went him, she stopped somewhere to eat and then she took me home and stayed for a while. She was trying to teach me bout to drive and stuff and helped me set up my snap online and all that. She heavily insisted on picking me up from work even though I’d told her that it was fine multiple times because the train station was literally 4 minutes or so away from me in walking distance. It was raining and she was getting all frantic and freaking out like she usually does and I just gave in and said told her “sure.” The third time I was in her car was months later, which was at least 2 weeks ago? She took my sister and I grocery shopping (helped us out with grocery’s since it was taking forever for my snap to come) and my mom even tried to giver her almost 80 back but she ended up taking the $25 offered to her after my mom insisted. Last time I was in her car was last Friday when all of that shit went down lmfao. It’s funny since throughout all this time of knowing her, she’s always ask to hang out/pick me up and I’d always tell her that I was busy, too lazy, or tired since I was and she’d be super PUSHY about it but I know that she just wanted to be friendly and hang out and would always say stuff like “I’m good at breaking ppl down! I’m gonna get you one of these days,” but I really just never felt like it. I’m a homebody at heart 🚶🏾‍♀️. And I’m LAZY. Even hanging out one day takes a lot of energy out of me and it takes me days to recover from that, I’m not used to hanging out and seeing ppl everyday. I don’t even like talking to ppl over the phone everyday fr. But she’d always call because she knew that 9 times out of 10, I’d usually pick up anyway (that’s usually the only way to get me to respond immediately if you’re reaching out to me since I might read your texts or messages but I probably won’t respond right away since I be lazy or not charged up mentally 😭. But if I’m called, l’ll most likely pick up tbh) but the whole “well, you’re gonna have to send me some gas money or meet me somewhere-“ shit was funny since her ass never had a problem coming all this way because she was lonely or whatever tf on her own. Why should I give you gave money to pick up your own shit that you kept on forgetting to take back home with you? On Friday, my mom had even tried to get her to take her bag back with her but she was all like “no, we’re coming back anyway!” So girl, this is on your dumbass. Before I’d even had the chance to fully respond back to her, she blocked me on everything and threatened to take me to small claims court over her bag that she could’ve been picked up 😭. No one wants tour shit, trust me. It’s safe and sound here.

Ugh. I had a really bad day.

"be grateful for what you have" have you considered that i am but also want something else

[swiftiephobe]

reached out to a friend that i haven't seen in ages because an artist we both used to love just announced a new album and tour and she's not reading my messages 🙁

[bunnyb34r]

God work has been... interesting the past few days

Under a read more bc god this is longer than I thought

NewLady is PISSED at everyone but me again (what a suprise) but she might be mad at me for THINKING I was also shit talking her with the group (I mean I kinda was but not at the first incident that set her off. I was AFTER bc jfc)

Basically NetflixCoworker and RC were venting ab her, how she never touches basics, or any pallets if they're not Men's. How she only does it when she doesn't want to work her section (usually Sunday's... when RC drops the most for basics since it's their area)

Well all of this was in earshot of NewLady who was two tables away. Now I was only there bc I had to tell RC something ab a pallet and was waiting for them to stop talking. From NewLady's perspective it looked like I was joining in.

Anyway she then bitchly asks RC if she's going to help her with the pallet of hats. It's a pallet of hats. Hats go in basics or boxes on the table. Figure it out.

Then like an hour later she comes up to RC and says really snootily "you know, I really didnt appreciate you talking to me like that. Next time-"

RC cuts her off and says "How about we just not talk!"

Today she did ALL of basics that RC dropped (oooh you sure got her there! Doing her work for her, that'll show her!) Which annoyed me but RC was like whatever less work I gotta do

Then we're working on the stupid hanging rack bc the summer like is sloooowly trickling in and we needed the facings. You know where they were? Certainly not in the back where they should be.

They. Were. Outside. OUTSIDE just heaps of metal bars prime for the taking!!!! RC texted BaldBastard and was like where the fuck are the facings? (Nicely ofc)

Asshole comes in and he's like yeah I threw em out bc we dont need them. They're just thrown about in the back.

MOTHERFUCKER WE NEED THOSE TO MAKE THE HANGING RACK MATCH CORPORATE STANDARDS! I WILL PERSONALLY THROW YOUR ASS UNDER THE BUS FOR THAT IF WE FAIL A VISIT!

RC was able to put them in a box and labeled it in the steel but are you fucking kidding me???? Tell me you dont know how to run a store without telling me you dont know how to run a store

And in other news shockingly I still am running out of stock and will at this rate have like 10 facings of one item bc everything else will be liquidated. So fun

[capricioussun]

don't feel bad about self reblogs, it's always awesome to see your art on my dash and I'm sure I'm not alone with this!

Awe, that's very sweet of you to say!

Tbth i have a really strange relationship with posting online – on one hand, I love just posting whatever and really really enjoy interacting with others, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if it's RSD or what, but i experience like. Social recoil? Where i tend to immediately regret and/or worry over the perception of stuff i post (way more than would be considered normal), especially with posts or reblogs that hardly really garner any interaction at all.

I know it's normal for artists of all kinds to be disheartened by things like that, and I don't necessarily create for others, but that is why i post it online- i mean...why else would you? I see that a lot, people feeling poorly about low interaction, and others trying to encourage them by telling them to make art for themselves and to not worry about it, but that's always come across a little odd to me. No, you probably shouldn't be doing something if you're only doing it for attention, but isn't interaction the point of sharing the things you make online?

Especially so in the case of people who really want to make a living being an artist in their chosen "field". To some degree, you do have to treat it like a business. You do have to sell yourself and try to "grow your audience" if you have any chance of making any sort of income at all, just like any self employment type of job. It feels condescending to see others tell artists who get frustrated with social media constantly doing things to make it harder to have any reach at all that they should care less about the algorithm or numbers when a lot of these people don't have a choice. It feels like hardly a day goes by I don't see posts on twitter or tumblr of someone taking emergency commissions just to cover rent or food for a few days.

Got a bit off topic there, but i sort of rest in a very strange place with my art in that, skill level wise, I'm very much an amateur, but due to Life Issues I won't get into, I can't hold a "normal" job, and I've been constantly kind of battling myself for a couple years now on how to approach trying to make Doing Art Online my career.

I need to put in the work to improve my art so i can not just post more frequently but hopefully get more commission work (which i would honestly also enjoy, I love making things for others, it's one of my favorite things about being able to post online), but i also want to improve my skill level so i can make the things I want to as well (I'm also unfortunately plagued by the Kind Of Wants To Do Everything desires and also want to make plush, music, 3D and live 2D models, and I'd love to get into streaming proper at some point).

So aaallllll of this to say, self reblogging is a big thing for artists on tumblr these days, esp as i see more and more talk about how low interactions gotten on here in the past few years, it's rough! But i also feel like im not...skilled(?) enough to do Proper Online Artist things. I guess. Which is dumb but ah I do not control the chokehold whichever mental issue has on me

[the-acid-pear]

I won't go back to the post first and foremost because i don't want to annoy op lmao we already stablished w both have dif opinions and that's ok BUT

Blood just helped me read the whole thing (she just randomly decided to read it and asked me a few questions about it) and man, is op fucking biased lmao

Just gonna blabber

Me whenever i wake up to a message from you

me too man, me too

[thoughts-and-vibes]

it really sucks that i once had so so many people messaging me and reaching out and it was wonderful and i did okay at responding. but then life happened and I wasn’t doing well and got reclusive and couldn’t really respond and I felt horrendous but had legitimately no mental energy for anything. but now I feel a desperate need for connection from people I connected with then but the connections are no longer there and now my messages are left on seen and I have no one. and this has happened before. tis just a horrendous cycle that idk how to fix.

Lucky Bracelet

lando norris x fem reader

summary: Making friendship bracelets was one of your favourite things to keep you entertained during race weeks, and you just had to make a special one for your boyfriend.  (1.5k words)

warnings: fluff, established relationship, a couple sexual innuendos

a/n: guys look at me! two posts in one week? crazy. i'm honestly trying to clean up my inbox since i still have a few requests from before my break 😭 so if you sent one, i'm getting there, i promise! now, this is a little bit cheesy and there are a few weird time skips so I apologise for that, but i really hope you like it! pls let me know what you think 🫶🏻

check out the original request here!

↺ back to navigation — send me a request!

Being constantly surrounded by hundreds of people and the double amount of cameras was not something you liked, but it’s something you had to put up with given the amount of attention your boyfriend got; it was something you have learnt to deal with. Not that you were fully used to it now, but at least it didn’t make you as anxious as it used to when you first started dating.

At least now you found something that helped you get your mind off the intense atmosphere that surrounded you during race weeks: making friendship bracelets. You made a few when you went to see Taylor Swift in concert late last year, and it stuck with you since then.

You travelled with all the materials you needed: colourful beads and cotton threads, tape, scissors — the whole deal. It wasn’t like you made an insane amount of bracelets every time you accompanied Lando to a race, but if you were bored or overwhelmed, you knew you had something to do.

Today was one of those days; Lando was specially busy today, and given your shy and quiet personality, you didn’t know that many people around, so you decided to lock yourself in Lando’s drivers room and get to it, carefully picking the letters and colours you would use.

Lando hated to leave you alone. He was aware of the many things he had to do, but he didn’t expect them to take that long, so as soon as he got a little bit of free time to catch lunch, he went looking for you. 

“Hey,” he greeted one of the mechanics. 

“Hi mate, how is it going?”

“All good, thanks. It’s a bit hot outside but still nice.”

“And yet, you are wearing a hoodie.” He teased him.

Lando let out a laugh, well aware of his reputation. "Well, I still have to keep it in style, don’t I?”

“You do, we know.”

“Anyway, have you seen Y/N?” 

“She must be in your room. I haven’t seen her since the two of you got here this morning.”

He smiled, knowing exactly what you were up to if you hadn’t left the small space all day. “Thanks.”

Lando made his way to his room, carefully knocking on the door before coming in. He didn’t want to scare you and make you drop all your beads, which has happened more times than he would like to admit.

“Come in,” he heard you yell from inside.

He opened the door and gave you the sweetest smile you have ever seen. “Hey, I’m back.”

“Hey, what took you so long?” You dropped everything you were doing to direct your attention at him. 

“Sorry, I didn’t know we would have to be there all morning, but I’m back for lunch.”

“It’s okay, and thank God, I’m starving.” You took a piece of tape to hold your bracelet in place and started to get up.

“What are you making here?” He asked you as he got closer to the small table, analysing what you had on display as the bright-coloured beads caught his eye.

“No, it’s a surprise.” You responded, quickly hiding your unfinished creation with your hands. 

“A surprise you say?” He came behind you to wrap his arms around you, softly kissing your head. 

You melted into his embrace and hummed in response, using one of your bags to hide it instead so you could hug your boyfriend back. “You can’t see it until you win this race.”

“Mhm, I see. What if I don’t win? When do I get to see it?” He questioned, not wanting to jinx his weekend, but he was still curious. 

“The next race you win.” You said this as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. 

“Got it. In that case, I’m gonna have to win this race.” He grabbed your hips to turn you around, kissing you on the lips once you were facing him.

You went to eat your lunch together as you normally did, enjoying each other’s company as you talked about anything you could come up with. Before you knew it, he had to go back to his duties, and even though you tried hard to act normal about being left alone so he wouldn’t feel guilty, he still noticed. He knew you better than you knew yourself, anyway.

“You can come with me if you want, that way you don’t have to be alone.”

“No, it’s okay. I know there are millions of people and cameras when you do these things."

He couldn’t help but feel guilty; he knew you were there to support him, so he hated to be apart from you when you did. “I’m sorry, love. I know you don’t feel comfortable when there are a lot of people around. You know you don’t have to be here if you don’t want to, you could always stay home.”

“If you don’t want me to come, just say that,” you joked.

“No, it’s not that,” Lando replied immediately. “I do want you here, I always do, but I hate that you feel like you have to hide.”

“Lan, I’m not hiding. Sure, I do prefer to stay inside, but it’s not because I want to hide from the world. Besides, that’s why I always bring something to entertain myself with. I’ll be fine, I promise,” you reassure him.

“Okay,” he nods, smiling at you. “But if you want to go back to the hotel, that’s okay.”

The rest of the weekend went on a lot quicker, even though he was just as busy. Qualifying and race days were a lot less boring since you got to see the cars from the garage, enjoying the full wag experience. 

As the race went on, you couldn’t help but feel anxious and excited at the same time. Lando started from pole (which made you assure him the night before he would get to see the bracelet after the race), but you still had the need to crack your fingers every once in a while. There were only a few laps left, and he had led the entire race so far, and with the gap becoming bigger, you couldn’t contain your excitement.

Once he finally crossed that finish line with a 21-second margin, everyone in the garage cheered and jumped, celebrating Lando’s achievement. A lot of people gathered outside to see him get off the car and celebrate his third win himself, shouting his name and patting him in the helmet to congratulate him.

When it was time for the podium, you decided to go get the finished bracelet you kept in your purse and held it close to your heart, feeling extremely proud of Lando for the amazing race he just had. You couldn't stop the few tears that left your eyes; it made you so happy to see him accomplish his dreams. 

The whole thing was finally over, and you waited for him right there so you could finally express how proud of him you were. 

“Congrats, baby,” you said, hugging him as if you hadn’t seen him in months. “You did amazing.”

“Thank you.” Lando couldn’t erase the big smile off his face as he hugged you back. 

“That’s a cool trophy you got back there.”

“Yeah, I don’t really care about that.” He said, puling away and looking down at you. 

“You don’t?” You asked confused.

“No, I’m still waiting for my real reward.”

“Oh… we can go back to the hotel-”

“No!” He interrupted you, laughing loudly at the fact that your mind went there. “I mean my bracelet, didn’t you say I would get it if I won this race? Well, I did, and now I’m claiming it.”

You laughed, your cheeks burning a bit from embarrassment. “Right, uh- it’s not that great compared to your trophy.”

“I’m sure it’s better than any trophy I could ever get.”

Man, he really knew how to be the sweetest boyfriend in the entire world. You pulled the bracelet out of your pocket, hiding it in your fist before dropping it in his hands. 

The colours were the first thing that caught his attention. Fluoro green and black beads. He inspected these first, until he got to the little letters that read ‘MY WINNER’. He almost couldn’t contain his tears; he was so endeared by you and how much you supported his passion.

“I love it,” he whispered, lifting you up and kissing you emotionally before putting you back down and sliding the bracelet in his wrist, admiring the way it looked there. “Thank you.”

“See? I told you you would get to see it today.”

“It must be a lucky bracelet, then. I’m never taking it off.”

You giggled at this, loving how Lando reacted to the bracelet you made with much love, but you still thought he was just messing with you. “You must be tired.” You teased him.

“Mhm. Now, about my other reward-”

“Oh my God.” You rolled your eyes as you let out a loud laugh, holding his hand as you made your way to the car.

akaashi was in yn's room trying to lace up a leather corset for like twenty entire minutes

he said i am a better friend than oikawa and i am going to prove it

sometimes yn goes through these periods of getting worn out from her job (staying up all night on her feet and drinking and then going home to get just a couple hours of sleep before she gets back up again to work on her mixes)

for the most part she's able to maintain a routine that works well for her but occasionally it just catches up to her and brain stops working like normal

iwaizumi has another job at the velvet bar from @causenessus's smau tonics which you should absolutely read if u havent already
