Your Valentine’s date with Jeonghan is coming up and yet the only thing on your mind is how to break up with him. Of course breaking up with someone is difficult, but you’d argue that what’s more difficult is breaking up with someone you never even dated.

Jeonghan is a prankster. 

Growing up, you’d often be on the receiving end of his pranks at school. Third grade “initiation” had you drenched in water after he told you to pin a cup against the wall with a straw, and in ninth grade you had tears streaming down your face after eating an entire scoop of wasabi—not the matcha ice cream he said it was. Then there was the time he did something to make your first crush hate you, which, in hindsight, was a good thing because the guy turned out to be a total asshole. 

It wasn’t Jeonghan’s fault entirely when you were too willing to fall for his pranks because being the target of a prank meant having his attention, and that’s something that you wanted. Jeonghan had a way of making everyone feel special, and his attention was a limelight that you never wanted to step out of. 

Honestly, you might’ve kept up with it if he kept going. But then that fateful day came and it was like you were suddenly on his side, working with him instead of being the victim to his antics, and you’d say that that’s what has kept the two of you together after all these years. 

Well, at least until now.

“Hey,” you greet in a rush, looking around the table at everyone and seeing that you’re truly the last one to arrive. Usually, you’d give that place to Lee Chan; he’s the most popular of your friend group and almost always has a prior appointment to your meetups. “Sorry I’m late. My train was delayed and—oh, did you already order for me?” 

Jeonghan slides a sealed bubble tea across the table and sets it in front of your seat—the one empty chair right beside him, no less. When you glance at him questioningly he shrugs and tilts his head towards the crowd at the front. “The line was too long so I ordered yours with mine. Hope you’re feeling like your usual today.” 

Indeed, the sticker on the cup shows that it’s your go-to order. “Aw, that’s so sweet of you. Thanks, babe.” 

Today’s meet up with your friend group is the first of the year and it’s also the first time you’re seeing everyone since Chan’s wedding… including Jeonghan. You would’ve spent Christmas and New Year’s with him had he not cancelled on you, and now that bit of distance has manifested into a larger uncertainty for you over the past while. Even now, the ‘babe’ seemed to come out awkwardly, sticking to your throat.

“Wow, you guys are actually disgusting. I hope you know that.” Seungkwan makes a face at you, and beside him, Soonyoung nods a few times in agreement. 

You plaster on a smile. “It’s okay to just say you’re jealous.” 

The only response you get is an eye-roll from Soonyoung, and then everyone moves on, thankfully. Mingyu asks you what you’ve been up to so you talk about your recent promotion at work and some new habits you’ve started in the new year, and when you sense that the conversation is starting to approach the territory of your future with Jeonghan, you gently steer it towards Chan. After all, he’s the one that got married just a few months ago, and you know he would never miss the chance to talk about his amazing honeymoon and how great this new chapter of his life is going.

There is truly nothing like adult friendships and its quarterly updates. 

Once there’s a bit of a lull in the conversation, Jeonghan turns to you. “What are you doing this week?” 

“Oh, this week?” Your heart speeds up tenfold at the uncertainty of what might come next. “Hmm well, it’s Valentine’s Day.” 

“Yeah, exactly.” He nods and much to your relief, there’s a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips. “So I’ll see you for our date then?” 

“Of course, babe.” 

“Can’t you guys do this somewhere else?” Soonyoung says as he stares daggers in your direction. You totally understand and sympathize with that though; today you’re turning up the sweetness more than usual to compensate for the distance you actually feel, unfortunately at the expense of your friends.

Jeonghan completely ignores Soonyoung’s complaint and doesn’t even look his way. “That’s good,” he says, leaning back in his seat and almost looking relieved at your answer. “I was afraid my darling might not have time for me anymore.”

“What? No way. Did you have anything in mind for our date?” 

“Hmm, yes but it’s a surprise. I’ll text you the details later.” 

“Well, uh, I have to run,” Chan says, slowly getting up from his seat. The rest of you hardly bat an eye, having gotten too used to his busy schedule. “It was nice seeing everyone. You guys should come over for my housewarming once everything is set up.” 

Mingyu stands up too. “Oh, I actually have to go too; got a dinner with Wonwoo later.” 

…On second thought, perhaps you overcompensated a bit too much with the cringe. Soonyoung and Seungkwan leave soon after getting a call from their roommate, Seokmin, and then it’s just you and Jeonghan at the table. Still seated side by side, your arm occasionally brushing against his. 

“How have you really been?” he asks in a low voice. 

“Decent, I guess, despite the winter blues and all. It’s pretty much what I said earlier.” You shrug when he remains silent. “Why do you ask? Do I look depressed or something?”   

“No,” he shakes his head with a laugh, “not depressed, exactly, but I wanted to see if you’re as sad as I am about not seeing each other in so long.” Then he leans in a bit closer, as if to whisper a secret. “I missed you, darling.”

It’s times like this when you feel like he’s toeing the line. There’s a small smile lingering on his lips and a softer look in his eyes, not at all like the overdone sweetness to the point of sarcasm from before, but you can never tell if he really means what he says or if this is just part of the act. 

Regardless, it makes your face feel hot and it makes you unable to look directly at him. 

“Oh… yeah,” you say, trying to make a quick recovery. “It’s too bad we missed out on the holidays but at least we get Valentine’s Day.” 

“Yup, that’s exactly why I have something special in mind for that day. I want to make it up to you, darling.” 

You give him a smile and then go to take a sip of your drink, and that’s pretty much the end of the conversation. Despite saying he misses you, it’s interesting how he doesn’t explain why he bailed on the holidays in the first place, and you don’t know whether you should ask about it at this point.

Or if you should even be curious about such a thing. 

Jeonghan pulls you out of your thoughts with a brush of his hand on yours. “It’s getting dark. Let’s head out?” 

You agree and then let him hold your hand, lace his fingers with yours, and then lead you out of the shop. He doesn’t let go until you cross the parking lot and get to his car. It’s strange, you think. You can’t seem to recall the last time the two of you held hands so naturally like this especially when there’s no one else around. 

In fact, when the two of you are alone, the sickening sweetness is always toned down but not completely dropped. Now, Jeonghan’s smiles are softer around the edges like they’re less exaggerated, less of a performance, and when he calls you darling, his voice is quieter and isn’t at all coated in the sticky honey you’re used to. When he hugs you goodbye at your door, it’s a loose hug and almost has a degree of uncertainty. 

Jeonghan steps back but lingers just for a second. “I’ll see you in a few days for our date, darling.”

“Of course,” you put on a smile, “I can’t wait, babe.” 

He waits until you get into your building before giving a little wave and then heading on his way. 

After you close the door behind you and collapse onto your bed, you heave a sigh and finally let the smile slip from your lips. So there would be a Valentine’s date this year after all; the anticipation makes your heart speed up the slightest but at the same time makes you all the more anxious. You thought that he really would end things today, and if not, that you should be the one to do so. But seeing him after so long, feeling the way the warmth of his touch lingers on your skin, basking in the brightness of his smiles, you simply couldn’t utter those words. 

Perhaps Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be the right time to do it either, or maybe your date won’t end up happening for whatever reason. You know that this is something you have to do, but the question is how exactly would you go about doing it? Because there is one major problem. 

You’re not dating Jeonghan at all. 

One moment in high school is what started this whole thing.

It was eleventh grade drama class—which Jeonghan thought would be fun to take as an elective—that resulted in the two of you being cast in the school play. Although neither of you landed a role that was remotely close to important, Jeonghan decided to have fun with it and improvise during your one minute of screen time and that somehow turned your insignificant cameos into a beautiful romance that had the audience rooting for you. 

And that very moment somehow managed to embed itself so deeply in your relationship with Jeonghan that it became a long running joke to this day. 

Today you’re sitting across from Soonyoung and Seungkwan again, with Mingyu beside you this time. Almost an exact replica of last week’s meetup, but Chan already has plans and Jeonghan is very obviously missing—something Soonyoung points out immediately.

“Wow, no Jeonghan today?” he says loudly even before the hostess is out of earshot. The people at the two tables nearby glance in your direction and you start to regret coming here at all. “We really won this one. Y/N, we should do this more often.” 

You definitely should not. “Um, yeah. Totally.” 

Last week’s meeting with your friends is what gave you the idea to consult with them about your situation. You first suggested the idea to Mingyu, and then used the prospect of free food to get Soonyoung and Seungkwan to come out, and naturally, Chan is busy so it ends up being the four of you at brunch. Which is better on your wallet, you think. You get the feeling that this quarterly meetup can totally happen more often if you were to make this offer every time. 

As for what you’re about to ask… well, truthfully, you still don’t know if you should even do it. You’ve gone so many years without saying a word that it’d simply be odd to ask now, plus you would run the risk of making everything weird. But if you don’t do it, you would only end up making it weird anyway because how much longer can you go on pretending?

Besides, it’s not only you and Jeonghan who are prolonging this inside joke for way longer than it should’ve lasted. All of your friends should be in on it if they treat the two of you like a couple too. 

The waiter comes by to take your orders, and you try not to wince at the entire list that comes out of Soonyoung and Seungkwan’s mouths. Mingyu gets the least, seemingly knowing that something is up if the worried glances he throws your way is anything to go by. 

Once the waiter leaves, that’s when the small talk stops and all eyes turn to you.

“So what did you want to talk about?” Soonyoung asks with a goofy grin. “Since Jeonghan’s not here, does that mean you need help with Valentine’s Day plans or something?” 

Beside him, Seungkwan has the complete opposite expression as he eyes you warily between sips of his americano.

You take a huge swig of water like it’s liquid courage, and then go for it. “This is going to sound weird…” you start, trying not to notice the way Seungkwan tenses up as if bracing for your words, “but I wanted to ask you guys what my relationship with Jeonghan is.” 

Silence. Complete, dead silence. 

Soonyoung freezes like he’s in a photograph while Seungkwan’s hand holding his americano hangs in mid air as a drop of the drink dribbles down the side of his lip. 

“Sorry, what?” It’s Soonyoung who recovers first. “I think I heard that wrong.” 

You shake your head. “Just tell me.” 

“You’re asking us what your relationship with your own boyfriend is?” 

“Boyfriend—exactly!” You have to hold back all the thoughts you have on the topic. “Yeah, that’s what I mean. So you think he’s my boyfriend? That we’re dating?” 

Soonyoung frowns but it’s Seungkwan who answers, exasperated. “Y/N, what are you trying to say here? Are you trying to say you guys broke up? Or do you think we don’t know you well enough and this is a test? Can you say whatever it is directly—” 

“Jeonghan and I aren’t together.”

There, you said it. Your biggest secret is out.

It should make you relieved to finally let out the secret you’ve been harbouring for years or it should at least alleviate some of the weight on your chest, but it doesn’t. The silence in the wake of your confession only closes in on you and makes it all the more suffocating.

“Any—anymore?”

“No. We were never together.”

The bit of silence from earlier repeats itself. Maybe you should become a speaker or presenter with your ability to draw such reactions from a crowd.

Seungkwan noisily sets down his drink and then leans forward with a frown. He’s still in denial, that much is obvious, and he narrows his eyes as he asks, “Is this a joke? A hidden camera? Are you trying to prank us like Jeonghan—”

“No, I’m completely serious. It’s really not what it seems, and this is why I’m asking you guys what you see us as because at this point I don’t even know the answer myself.” 

With a deep breath, you tell them the truth about this entire thing.

You tell them about the high school play and your impromptu acting, and how that led for the two of you to become the famous couple at school afterwards. Sure, it might’ve been a good thing because that meant your acting was believable. But to two people who were interested in just about anything except love at that age, it was annoying and gross. 

After the show when the shippers wouldn’t stop, the two of you decided to do what you do best—pull a prank. You spent that Valentine’s Day together as a joke and acted extra disgusting to mock couples while making fun of how stupid people were to believe whatever you showed them. In twelfth grade, the two of you did the same for Valentine’s Day and then even went to prom together as a joke. 

In recent years, however, the annual joke of a Valentine’s Day date has turned into his Christmas and your Lunar New Year, his cousin’s graduation, your coworker’s housewarming, and Lee Chan’s wedding. It’s made you on a texting basis with his sister and it’s made him familiar with all your favourite food spots and go-to orders. It’s turned him into someone who’s simultaneously as distant as an acquaintance yet closer than a best friend. 

And so, here you are, living an entire lie because you and Jeonghan had the whole world fooled.

“That’s insane,” Soonyoung says when you finally finish the story, unable to look your way and instead, stares into his drink with how mind blown he is.

Seungkwan, on the other hand, remains a bit skeptical. “Okay, but then what was with all that PDA?All the kissing? Is this some sort of situationship?” 

“Oh, um.” Immediately you can feel your cheeks heating up. You didn’t think this far at all but now it seems like the entire truth will have to come out. “All of it was fake. We’ve… never actually kissed.” 

That drama class has taught you more than you needed to know about manipulating angles and the audience’s perception, and Jeonghan is very good at it. Your fake kisses were often just a trick of the angle or occasionally using the thumb trick, and having seen the evidence captured in photos over the years, you know how convincing it can look.

Now, it’s embarrassing to admit for reasons you never would’ve imagined. Admitting to pulling a childish prank like this is one thing, but the realization that you and Jeonghan have faked it for so long without ever once making it real has you feeling almost dejected.

“I always knew Jeonghan was crazy but I didn’t know he’d be *this* crazy.” Soonyoung now has his head in his hands and is staring off into space. “This is the most insane story I’ve ever heard. I’m not sure if I should be happy for you or sad.” 

You give a wry smile. “Yeah, well, I get why you would think we were together though. You met us in college and wouldn’t have known about what happened in the past so I guess there would never be a reason to question it.” 

Beside you, Mingyu clears his throat and you turn to look at him. He’s been so quiet throughout your story that you were too busy focusing on the reactions of the other two, but looking at him now, his reaction is entirely different. Mingyu isn’t as surprised as he is concerned. “Actually, Y/N, a few years ago…” he says hesitantly, “there was a time when I asked him if you were actually dating.” 

“You did? What did he say?”

“He didn’t deny it.”

“Well, we all know how he loves to be ambiguous and leave things a mystery.”

Mingyu shakes his head. “No—see, that’s what I thought too, but it was different that time. At first he didn’t deny it, but when I pushed a bit more, he said that you’re dating. In actual words and with the most serious look I’ve ever seen on his face.” 

This is news to you. You always assumed that they were all in on the joke and would’ve never guessed that anyone actually asked Jeonghan, but the fact that he answered that way is all the more baffling. 

“I don’t get it. Why would he tell you that?” 

“Yeah, so,” Soonyoung says, “from then on we all thought that was fully confirmed, and he never said or implied otherwise.” 

“Right…”

Mingyu nudges you gently. “Y/N, are you telling us about this now because you’re planning on stopping the act? Has it been bothering you? Or did something happen?” 

“Is that why you wanted to tell us today?” Soonyoung lets out a dramatic gasp and leans all the back in his chair, hands over his mouth. “Don’t tell me—are you going to stop the act because you have a crush on someone?”

“What? No, definitely not. It’s not that, it’s—” 

Here’s the next part of your big secret being revealed, something you weren’t entirely ready for but you tell yourself that this needs to happen. 

It’s because of your feelings for Jeonghan. Your very real, very genuine feelings that have nothing to do with this prank.

Truthfully, you can’t pinpoint when you started feeling this way, much like you’re not sure how this joke was able to stick around for so long. It could be the most recent development—when your friend tried to convince you to hop on a dating app, all you could think about was how wrong it felt because you already had Jeonghan. Or maybe it was the Valentine’s Day just before college graduation when he leaned in so closely you thought he was going to kiss you, for real this time, and then only realizing much later that you were disappointed that it wasn’t real. 

Or perhaps it started way back, to the time he asked you to prom—he said he didn’t have a date only for you to later find out he’d already rejected two promposals from other people. All for your fake relationship, supposedly.

And now, for you, what has started as a harmless prank has turned into something much more than that over the years. 

Everyone looks like they're at a loss for words after that part, and even Soonyoung has lost his enthusiasm after hearing it. “Shit, that’s…” he starts. “Okay, yeah, I’m definitely sad for you.” 

Seungkwan and Mingyu have similar sentiments but you wave them off, eager to lighten the mood again after such heavy topics. The food on the table has been long finished and you’re beginning to feel like you’re overstaying your welcome when there’s a crowd waiting at the front of the restaurant. “It’s fine, it’s whatever. I just wanted to get this off my chest today so that I can figure things out before I see him in a few days.” 

A while later, you finish paying and then all head out together. 

The conversation continues to replay itself in your head, and you realize there is one thing you’re curious about. You turn to Mingyu. “By the way—Mingyu, why *did* you ask Jeonghan if we were actually dating?”

Mingyu stops mid-stride and freezes like a deer in headlights, clearly not expecting your question at all. “I—um, I was asking for a friend.” 

“A friend?”

“Yeah, Chan.” He nods a few times in a row. “I thought Chan had a crush on you and I was trying to help him out.”

Strange, seeing as you’ve probably interacted with Chan the least among your friend group. He’s simply too booked and busy to hang out with you, and has been all throughout your college years together. 

Oh, and he’s married.

“Like, before he met his wife?” you ask.

Soonyoung starts to cough furiously from where he is a few steps ahead while Mingyu’s cheeks redden the slightest bit. 

You vaguely remember the first time the two of you did this, and how it wasn’t anything like how it’s going now. 

Tonight is the night you’re supposed to go on your date with Jeonghan, and you’ve been buzzing with nerves since the night before. You have no idea what to expect for tonight since all he told you about it was to show up at his apartment, and that in itself was slightly concerning as you’ve never been to his home before nor has he been so secretive about any plans. Usually the two of you would be going to a casual place or would have the schedule shared ahead of time if it was a more formal event that needed preparation. 

Jeonghan buzzes you in when you arrive and before you can say you’ll wait for him in the lobby, he tells you to go up to his unit. Again, a bit strange. You do as he asks though, and then even go to knock on the door when there’s no sign of him coming out.

When he opens the door and steps aside, that’s when everything clicks—you’re not here so that he can get his car and take you to your date location. This *is* the date location.

Beyond the doorway, you can see that his apartment is completely decorated. Rose petals line the sides of the hall and lead to the dining table, covered in a deep red tablecloth and perfectly set for your meal. Beside it, a large bouquet of roses rests at the center of the sideboard surrounded by a row of flickering candles which light up the space.

Even without knowing what his home normally looks like, it’s obvious that all this would’ve taken a lot of effort to set up.

“Jeonghan, why did you prepare all this?”

He gives you a dazzling smile. “Because my darling deserves the best, of course. I told you I was going to make it up to you for cancelling Christmas.” 

“Babe, that’s too sweet of you. You really didn’t have to.” You try to return his smile but it doesn’t come easy when this whole situation is overwhelming. Then you let him take your coat and then guide you to the dining table where everything is set up. 

Only when you’re seated do you realize that his response doesn’t answer your question at all. 

The scent of the roses fill the room and looking at them gives you a pang in your heart. This is what the two of you used to make fun of—these big, romantic gestures, and the couples that willingly eat them up. Now it’s as if the tables have turned and you don’t know what to think. 

If this were in public, in front of your friends or other people, you would’ve said that it was another funny gesture that Jeonghan put up for the sake of making them cringe. Because the two of you were the perfect joking, prankster couple, right? 

Now that it’s just you and him here, it confuses you as to why he’s going to such lengths for a joke when it’s something that no one else would see, when there’s no audience to watch his performance. 

You watch as Jeonghan busies himself in the kitchen, serving the food that he’s prepared and pouring the wine into glasses while glancing your way every once in a while. He looks pleased, you note, and he should be if he got his space to look this beautiful. But you can sense that there’s something else too, almost like a nervousness that sits on his shoulder every time he breezes past you and makes eye contact for the briefest second.

After everything is ready, he finally takes a seat across from you and the dinner begins.

Making small talk is easy at first; you comment on your surprise at this type of date, talk about how cold it’s been lately and how it sucks that your company is forcing you to go back into the office. You ask him how his holiday went and how his family has been, and mention how cute his sister’s new puppy is after seeing a post about it on her social media. 

You know you’re just delaying the inevitable. Somehow you get the feeling he knows it too, judging by the way his answers are shorter than usual and how your conversation feels so superficial. So this time after there’s a lull in the conversation, you decide to go for it.

"Jeonghan, um…"

"Hmm?" He looks at you and waits for you to continue, but you don't. Or rather, you can't. "Ah, you're going to comment on how good this is, right?" he says instead, as if supplying you with a way out.

You're all too eager to grab onto it. "Wow, you read my mind." An enthusiastic nod, a slight look of surprise. "It's amazing. Did you make all this yourself?"

Jeonghan shakes his head and then follows up with a sheepish smile. "Partly. The rest is store bought."

Another nod, and then it just ends there again. Seated in this spot with the soft lighting of flickering candles cast against the wall and the heat of Jeonghan's gaze on you, the feeling of discomfort only grows. It's hard to remember what the two of you were like before, during the days when everything seemed so silly–when each move was a clearly defined act between two actors and the world was your stage. And most importantly, when each smile he showed you didn't send your stomach into somersaults or your mind into a loop of second guessing. 

The air is so heavy and stifling that you grab your glass and down a large gulp of the wine. At least when you're drinking, you wouldn’t have to speak, whether that might be responding to him in a way that gives away all of your thoughts, or completely spilling them out yourself. Maybe the alcohol will also drown out some of your anxieties and–

"Hey, slow down." Jeonghan glances at you with worry. "We have all night."

You set the glass down, albeit a bit reluctantly. "Right, sorry. This wine is just so good."

Yet another lie, but what's one more at this point? The wine is much too sour and leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. You would've much preferred a soda or bubble tea, and drinking something fancy like this during such a fancy occasion makes you feel like you're pretending to be someone you're not.

Which is exactly what you're doing, isn't it? You've been living a lie this entire time.

You briefly wonder if Jeonghan feels the same way—the two of you have never properly spent time alone in complete privacy, and to have your first time be in such a formal atmosphere must feel strange. But if he's uncomfortable, he makes no sign of showing it. Or maybe he's always been the better actor of the two of you.

“You know, since you mentioned seasonal depression, I was thinking that for Christmas this year we should go somewhere. Somewhere warm and sunny to get away from the cold.”

“Oh, this year?” you repeat stupidly when you can’t quite believe what you’re hearing. Jeonghan wants to continue this thing? And here you were, thinking that he was about to end it at any moment for the past few months. “Um, yeah. That would be nice.” 

“Or it could be a fall trip. Your parents have been wanting to go see the leaves change colour, right?” 

There’s no hint of sarcasm on his face and no playful twinkle in his eye, and even though no one can read him very well, you know enough to tell that he’s being serious. You also know that what he’s saying makes no sense at all.

“Right, yeah. They’ve been wanting to do that.” 

“Y/N, are you okay?”

“Yeah,” you reply automatically, and then reach for another long gulp of your drink. “Yup, all good.”

Jeonghan frowns, a tiny crease appearing between his brows. “Are you sure? If you want to talk about it, I’m here to listen.” 

It’s strange, the way he looks at you. Jeonghan, who dances around questions and deflects easily with humour and only shows people what he wants them to see, now has worry filling his eyes as he waits for you to continue. As if he *knows*.

You doubt Soonyoung and Seungkwan would have spilled your secret so easily, but there’s a great possibility that the two of them would be unable to act normal around him after what they learned, and unintentionally hint at the truth. Then there’s the other possibility that Jeonghan knew way before any of this. Because maybe he—

No, you don’t want to think about that.

“It’s just that,” you say, having to force yourself to pause and slow down your thoughts before something terrible comes spewing out. A slow inhale, a shaky exhale. “Why are we here, Jeonghan?”

His frown deepens, but now it’s turned into confusion. “What do you mean?”

“What are we doing? This date has been nice, but I’m just very confused over why you put so much effort into this when there’s no one else around to see it. Weren’t we doing all of this as a joke? As a prank? Pretending to be a couple so that we can fool the world since that’s exactly what they wanted to see, but joke’s on them because we’re not?” 

Jeonghan watches you silently with an unreadable look on his face. “Is that how you feel?”

“’Well, yes, because isn’t that the truth? And now, we’ve been doing so much together that it doesn’t feel like a joke anymore. How can it be when your mom is offering to give me homemade side dishes? Or—or when Chan’s wife was there, smiling at us on her wedding day like she wished we’d be just as happy as they are?” You pause to look at him and then proceed to look away. “How long are we going to continue lying to the world? Because I can’t stand the guilt.”

The last part of that may be true, but it’s not the full truth. 

“Yeah, you’re right. We don’t have to keep doing this.”

“W—what?” You stare at him, dumbfounded. 

Jeonghan sighs deeply and then meets your eyes, but then quickly looks away. “Yeah, we should’ve left this in high school. The joke has kind of gotten old, hasn’t it?” 

You have no idea what he means by any of that, but it feels like you’re better off not knowing. The tension in the air is thick, and even when you imagined your fake breakup hundreds of times in your head, this is not something you could have predicted. It’s as you’re on a precipice, and one wrong move will delete all those years, all that time you spent with him. 

And the worst part is that you don’t even want to break up.

“Jeonghan, look. I know all of this is supposed to be a joke, but why is it that it feels like you really do care?” One last deep breath before you make the jump. “And why is it that I *want* you to care?” 

That has him stunned for a second, so much that the expression is obvious on his face in a way that almost never happens. 

“Wait, what? I do care. No, I get that we started all this for fun back then, but that’s not how I feel about it now. Everything we’ve done is real—trust me, I wouldn’t have brought you to my family if that wasn’t the case. And I never thought I was lying to them. It’s exaggerated, yes, and much too dramatic, but I’m not a good enough actor where all that can be based on a complete lie.” 

You braced yourself for the final blow, only to be completely confused over his words. “What are you saying?” 

“Y/N, it’s always been real to me. All of it.” 

“But—but I thought you wanted to stop all this when you cancelled our plans for Christmas. Why did you do that?”

Jeonghan opens his mouth a little but then closes it again. “Do you remember last year at Chan’s wedding when you caught the bouquet?” 

You nod but don’t hide your confusion about where this is going.

“After you caught it, everyone was looking at you… and then at me. It was like they all expected us to be next, because well,” he shrugs, “everyone thought we were together. And that’s when I realized that this is more than simply feeling like it’s real. We were turning it into something real.”

“So you called off Christmas because you wanted to stop doing this? Because you hated how it was becoming real?” 

“No,” Jeonghan shakes his head. “The opposite. I was afraid of how much I liked that it felt real. That day at the wedding, I—I wanted to kiss you for real, Y/N. Not have to fake it.” 

“Oh…”

“If we did meet up for Christmas, I don’t know what might’ve happened. I thought it was safer to stay away for a bit and gather my thoughts.” He hesitates slightly and you can see the pained smile he has on. “But one day into the holidays and I was already regretting my decision.” 

You don’t know what to say to that. Your mind is hardly listening anymore when it keeps on repeating Jeonghan’s words like a broken record, screaming to you that it’s real, that all of it is real. That you’re not the only one who’s been feeling this way, and that you won’t need to stage a fake breakup for your fake relationship. 

“Are you okay?” he asks, breaking you out of your thoughts.

“I’m just—are you sure all this is real? Jeonghan, are you being serious?”

He breaks into a tender smile. “Don’t you remember? I already answered you back then, Y/N.”

“What do you mean?” 

“You asked me if I’d be your darling, even if thousands of miles may separate us, even if—” 

“—if the paths we walk may crumble,” you finish off. “Or something like that. I actually have no idea what we said back then.”

Those were the lines in the play that you did back in high school, the very lines that the two of you conjured out of thin air one day and the very moment that started this whole thing. 

“Yeah, that,” he says softly.

“Hmm, so, babe,” you put on your usual mockingly sweet tone, repeating the line that you said on stage many years ago, “are you going to kiss me?” 

Jeonghan holds back a smile like he can’t contain his happiness, and follows with his line without missing a beat. “If that’s what my darling wants.”

The smile only widens when he gets up from his seat and you go to meet him halfway, and it’s the last thing you see when he leans in closer and closer. Jeonghan gently slides his thumb between his lips and yours as he closes the distance, like how it was done the very first time, but this time you can feel it as he slowly moves it away. 

Then you’re kissing him, actually kissing him for real for the first time. His lips are soft and warm, and the bit of hesitance between you seems to completely melt away as you wrap your arms around him and he pulls you closer. You let yourself drown in his scent, the warmth of his touch, and the loud pounding of your heart now that you no longer have to be paying attention to the reactions of the people around you. Nothing else matters anymore, all that matters is what you have now.

You spend the rest of the night catching up, whether that’d be stories over the years of shared memories, or creating new memories to make up for the lost time. He tells you he loves you and that the trip suggestions were very much real, and the two of you laugh over how you’ve become the exact couple you once mocked. It’s easy to understand them now though, you think as Jeonghan gives you a sleepy smile as you’re cuddled up on the couch.

“Oh yeah, I wanted to ask something,” you say, and he looks at you in alarm at your abruptness. “Why did you tell Mingyu that we were together?”

Jeonghan stays silent for a bit, narrowing his eyes as if having difficulty recalling what you’re talking about. Then he finally answers. “Oh that?” He chuckles. “That was because I didn’t want him to think he had a chance with you.”

Akutagawa as your boyfriend ☀︎

Umm happy late b day Aku…😭 I’m totally super late for this I KNOW. But! I’m doing it anyway! >:3 late or not :P Plus I Just wanted to write for him since I really like this dude (〃ω〃) (Light blood, death and killing mentions but not in detail)

Akutagawa b day hcs first >;}

planning everything out and hiding it from him is kind of a task. 😅 the guy’s pretty stealthy himself so ya gotta make sure he doesn’t sneak up on you while your prepping things.

Buuut with the help of everyone from the port mafia (except Mori- joking! he does help but Elise does 90% of the work) you planned a mini party <3

Gin got the food! (Figs and tea enters chat)

Higuchi got the decorations! (streamers, balloons, tables, chairs)

Hirotsu keeps akutagawa busy (tea and chatting LOL)

Elise makes the banners (hints poorly drawn dead versions of everyone—extra blood for aku<3)

Kajii makes (lemon shaped) confetti poppers!!

Koyo hosted/recorded it all 💗

Chuuya brought wine and the cake (both were really expensive and tasty good job Chuuya)

Q brought lots of presents!! :3

Annnnd Tachihara! Brought some ~port mafia style~ party games (you played mafia LOL)

now general relationship things 😚

He treats you like how he does Gin, there is peace between the two of you and you have friendly interactions. (Romantic as well, for you) he will even go as far as to do favors for you but we’ll dabble in that more later ☆)

acts of service is his #1 love language. There’s no convincing me otherwise. When I say ‘he will do anything for you’ besides killing this is what I mean. You really don’t have to ask either. I talk about this some more later but, examples: done with your plate? He’ll take it. He remembers you said you needed xyz, he got it for you. You said you wanted to ____ but you fell asleep, so he did it.

hope you get along with Gin because to continue a relationship with him past 2 minutes, you need to. He will never choose friends over family. I stand on that.

honest man.

Its canon, of course this would apply to a relationship too :)

you never have to worry about him lying, thankfullly. the bad news is…this guy isn’t just honest..he’s brutally honest 😀

which he’s not dumb, but he’s also not one to pacify feelings. So say you created something and you’ve been working on this piece for a while now, (whether your an artist, writer, sculptor, something else—whatever), he takes a look at it and singlehandedly points out all the flaws 🧍‍♀️

not in a rude way-

just genuinely telling your mistakes. Which- I know can hurt because you spent a lot of time on it…..but as lest you can fix it now..? 🤷‍♀️

He respects you. Of course he does! How could you love someone you don’t respect?!

why I’m mentioning this then?? Because to him, respect is very important. There’s few that he respects personally and not because of his job.

like Dazai (sorta bc of his job but shh), Gin or Atsushi (somewhat)

And just to clear it up those he has respect for because of his job would be mori or hirotsu

so the fact that you have his respect is a mile stone!! 👯‍♀️💃💃

He’s loyal but it ain’t a fault 😋🤪

seriously tho this dude is still chasing Dazai even after he “disgraced the mafia’s name” and left to the ada

So for you?? This is simply proof that he ain’t neva leavin you, and you ain’t neva leavin him 😙 (I don’t make the rules)

even If he disagrees with your actions/opinions he will talk it out with you 😱

now he might sound a bit upset, and if your acting absolute bonkers rn and need some sense smacked into you- he might yell too. But that’s mostly if it’s for your well being.

other than that, yes the hotheaded Ryuu will calm down for you (that kinda rhymes ☝️🤓)

Bonus!:

living with the Akutagawa’s! ( ✌︎'ω')✌︎

going more into acts of service, you and Gin hardly ever have to worry about chores or errands

he doesn’t really do it for the purpose of your validation, and genuinely doesn’t expect a thank you either

”hm? Oh…it’s nothing.”

Is his response when you try to thank him

he does it because he’s responsible not for praise

although I will say, seeing as though he has a lot of respect for you, as I said earlier, you may get a semi flustered/shocked facial expression

not necessarily blushing, just a expression that shows it caught him off guard ;P

Its not uncommon to see him cleaning around the house and asking if you have any laundry

housewife Ryuunosuke LOL 😂

When goes out to get groceries he asks you and Gin if there’s anything specific you want him to buy and if yes, he’ll get it for you

just like in the anime with Gin, he doesn’t mind doing favors for you as well <3

if you decide you wanna clean up or go to the store yourself he won’t stop you and be like ‘nonono I got it you sit down 🥺’. I don’t mean this in a bad way but he’s not a gentleman on purpose

I feel he’s the type of guy to do things that you consider gentlemanly but he just considers it being polite

oh it’s fine he’s got the groceries 👌

got a order for pick up? Oh well he was going out anyway, he’ll get it 🤷

he’s got the door 👍

don’t worry about the bill he’ll pay it (restaurant or house bill 😉)

another thing…! ♡

sometimes when you and Gin wanna watch a movie but Ryuu’s still doing the dishes….

Rashomon!

do the dishes :3 (while he watches the movie with you guys)

I wasn’t gonna write these at first but I’m real glad I did! I love these and finally wrote for our guy Ryuunosuke!!

WHEN I TYPED DAZAI’S NAME IT AUTOCORRECTED FO DASANI AT FIRST HAHAHHAHA

[jaycesirlgf]

a guy/honey drabble :3

note: this is set pre-confession! think maybe a couple weeks before the events of the valentines video :3 also, my headcanon is that honey's a wolf shifter so that might make more sense in the last couple paragraphs :3 also, i wrote the last bit at 2am, forgive me, its shit. not proofread. lowercase intended!

warnings: none! pure fluff :3

the clacking of your keyboard in the room across from his could very well have driven him insane. his eyes leaped between the image of his slightly creaked open door, and the hallway; contemplating exiting his den of serenity for the first time in what felt like years. he’d already received a, long, winded, well deserved lecture on the ethics of disturbing his favorite roommate’s focus in regards to their ever-so important essay. he had then, of course, argued the ethics, and, to put it in his words, the point of starting an essay three weeks in advance, which earned him quite a…terrifying glare.

guy’s mind wandered for, ten, maybe fifteen minutes, pondering whether to interrupt his cherished friend’s self-inflicted torture. friend. had they considered him a friend? would they ever even think of, perhaps, being.. more? he hadn’t even noticed when the excruciatingly loud typing had long halted. the fumbling of the doorknob across him interrupted his thought process. a rather, show stopping pair of eyes met his. his breath hitched.

“hi” guy was grinning, as usual, (his voice had always skipped an octave up when he was around them.)

“hi. sorry for.. uh. sorry for yelling, earlier, i mean.” they whispered, looking down at the bleak carpet below the two.

“oh?!” he chipped, “well, you’re forgiven, though you’re still very, very mean, i hope you know.” his smirk sent butterflies through their stomach, electric currents through their veins. he eyed the smile (which they’d tried to hide) creeping onto their gorgeous face.

“hey, guy?” their voice was like honey.

“mm, w. what?” he stumbled, voice wavering. eyes dancing up from their lips.

“wanna watch a movie? um. with me?” their hands fidgeted with the thread of their shirt. “uh. kayla’s at her boyfriends place for the night.. i was just, you know, wondering if you wanted to. no pressure.”

guy smiled, warmly,

“aaoow… how romantic!” his giggles bounced off the walls, filling their ears with nothing but sweetness.

“urgh.” they sighed with utter exasperation, “yknow what. nevermind.” they rolled their eyes, turning to face their bedroom, defensively.

“NO nononono no. no!” he whined, grinning through his words and grabbing their hand, giddily spinning them back around. “i’d love to, honeyyy!” he teased. his nimble hands began to tug them towards the living room as they groaned, heavily, at the petname.

“oh, come on.” they groaned, “that’s not even what werewolves look like, not even close!” facepalming, they leaned backwards, pushing guy’s shoulder against theirs. his breath caught, not focusing on the poorly edited, skinny, man-like ‘werewolf’ displayed charmingly across the tv screen.

“how would you know? you’ve never seen a werewolf before.. for all that you know, that COULD be an accurate representation.. you don’t know!!” his smirk was almost engraved into their mind.

“well, howdya know i’m not a werewolf?” they murmured, their face dead straight, not a sight of humor behind the phrase.

“i don’t.” he spoke, definitively, “buuut it wouldn’t surprise me.. you’ve got the grumbly, dare i say, emo.. attitude to back it up.” he uttered, “OW! owww shitshitshitshitshit stoooop!!” the pitch of his voice stepping higher as they hit him, forcibly with the largest pillow in reach.

“you’re just proving my point, sweetcheeks!”

[petitelepus]

Foreign Student reader is making halloween themed candy/caramel apples for the Halloween party! Buuut she was struggling on making them by herself, she usually makes them with her dad but she got some help from Haganezuka and Genya instead! (I imagine that haganezuka is secretly nagging Genya to ask her out for this Halloween party lol- Sanemi asked him to do it for him and in exchange, Sanemi gets him his fav food)

Summary: You and your candy apples are famous so it's only obvious you would be selling your treats at a Halloween party. Though, you weren't expecting a confession just yet!

Warnings: None, FLUFF, CUTE

A/N: Fem!Reader, Female Reader, Genya

It was a day before Halloween and you were busier than ever before! With the big Halloween party coming, held by the school, you had a lot of work to do! You were a foreign student, but with your ability to create amazing candy apples, you had gained yourself a nickname Ringo Onna, aka Apple Woman.

"Oh Gosh!" You gasped as you saw the dark sugar-coated apples that Genya pulled out of the fridge.

"W- what?" The young man stuttered, "D- Did I mess them up?"

"No, they look absolutely perfect!" You smiled happily, "Thank you so much Genya for helping me with my apples! You're a life saver!"

"Oi!" Haganezuka snapped, but before he could shout, you turned and smiled at him, "And of course, thank you so much Haganezuka-sensei for lending your classroom and kitchen to us!"

"Tch, just remember to clean up after yourselves…" The masked teacher grunted as he turned back to the book in his hands. You smiled a little at the eccentric teacher and Genya silently admired that smile of yours. No matter what, you always tried to smile and he admired that in you.

"Oh, I think we may just have enough apples for tomorrow!" You counted that you had made enough apples to feed a small army!

"Hopefully these will sell!"

Genya swallowed nervously, wanting to tell you that your apples were out of this world, but his shyness won and he averted his gaze from you… Something that Haganezuka noticed.

"Oi," The masked teacher caught your attention, "Why don't you go and print some posters for your apples? I'm sure they will sell with proper advertising."

"You're thinking like a true businessman!" You smiled as you grabbed your bag and left the classroom, but not before smiling to Genya, "Please look after the apples while I'm gone?"

"Y- Yes!" Genya nodded and just like that, you were gone. The young man sighed and Haganezuka grunted, "If you won't confess soon, someone else might."

"I- I-!" Genya blushed, but he couldn't deny it. You were a new transfer student and super cute also. He was sure you had admirers… But he wanted to call you HIS girlfriend…

"I'll do it tomorrow." He nodded, "After the party. Then I will let her know about my feelings!"

"Just hope it isn't too late," Haganezuka grunted.

So, the time passed and it was Kimetsu Academy's Great Halloween party! You and Genya were nervous but for no reason. Due to your nickname and apple-themed reputation, your apples were a huge hit, selling like hotcakes. Your witch costume helped a lot too.

"Enjoy your poison apples!" You said cheerfully as another happy customer took their apple and left. You looked at your small register and beamed happily. You were easily making profit!

"Hi there Ringo Onna-chan!"

You looked up and saw Tanjiro and his friends Zenitsu and Inosuke stop by your small booth.

"Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke! What a pleasure to see you guys!" You said cheerfully and the young men smiled, "Yes! We would like some of your famous poison apples!"

Coming right up!" You smiled as you grabbed 3 apples and the young man handed you the money in exchange, "I hope you enjoy them!"

"I will!" Inosuke shouted and all three of them bit into their apples and you watched excitedly how their eyes widened.

"So sweet!"

"Delicious!"

"It's hard to believe that Genya actually knew how to make these!" Zenitsu wondered out loud, much to the other young man's annoyance, "Oi, I'm not that bad in the kitchen!"

"It's true!" You smiled as you looked at him, "Genya has been such a huge help to me and I'm so thankful for it!"

Hearing you say something so nice about Genya… Made him blush, but before any of you could say another word, you noticed that you were running out of apples, "Oh, I'm going to go and grab more apples! Can you manage the register, Genya?"

"Y- Yes…" The young man nodded and you smiled as you excused yourself and rushed to get more candy apples. As soon as you were gone, the three young men turned to stare at blushing Genya.

"Dude, you have it hard." Zenitsu thought out loud and Genya snapped, "I don't want to hear that from you!"

"Just confess!" Inosuke shouted and Genya frowned, "I will! I just… Don't know when…"

"You can do it Genya!" Tanjiro smiled, "You're braver than you think!"

"You…" The young man blinked, "You really think so Tanjiro?"

"I know it!" The young baker's son smiled and his smile caught Genya also. And just like that, you were back with a tray full of apples, dipped in dark caramel, "I hope you are hungry because my witch's cauldron had more apples floating there!"

"Actually, could I get one more for Nezuko?" Tanjiro asked and you smiled as you handed him an apple, "That one is on the house, but don't tell anyone!"

"We won't!" The three young men promised before leaving. You and Genya spent the rest of the evening selling apples until the Halloween party ended. You were one of the last ones left, cleaning the place after the party. While you were cleaning, Genya was collecting his courage… Only that seemed to go on forever until you were all done with cleaning and ready to head home.

"Thank you for your help today Genya." You smiled as you took off your witch's hat and bowed to Genya, "I had tons of fun with you today."

"Y- You're welcome…" Genya blushed and you smiled, reaching for your bag and phone, ready to call your parents to come and pick you up, but then you noticed your father's car by the side of the road, already waiting for you.

"I gotta go, that's my father there," You said as you waved to the young man, "See you after the weekend, Genya?"

Genya nodded, but just as you were leaving, he collected all his courage and called after you, "W- Wait!"

"Hm?" You turned to look at the young man, "Yes?"

"I…" Genya swallowed nervously as he collected his courage… And finally, he said it, "I like you… A lot more than as a friend… And I hoped we could be more…?"

"Genya…?" You blinked as you registered his words… And then you smiled, "Are you asking if I'd like to become your girlfriend?"

"I…!" The young man swallowed nervously as he nodded, "Yes…"

"Oh, Genya," Your smile grew, "I'd love that!"

"Wait, really!?" He gasped and you smiled happily as you moved forward and hugged him, "Of course! I like you, but I couldn't ask you out myself!"

"I- I-!" He was absolutely speechless. Did you return his feelings? Really?

You hugged him tighter, "It's why I asked you to help me, but I didn't have the courage needed to confess to you first!"

"Y- You…!" Did you really want to confess to him? You smiled as you pulled away from the hug, but you didn't go far, holding him by his shoulders as you smiled at him, "I'm so happy you had the courage I lacked."

"I…" Genya swallowed, "I really like you…"

"And I like you," You grinned as you leaned forward and time seemed to stop as you pressed your lips against Genya's cheek. The young man was taken over by a furious blush, his whole face turning red as you pulled back and giggled.

You were about to say something, but your father honked his car's horn and you looked over your shoulder before looking at Genya again, "I have to go, but you have my number and… If you like, would you like to go see a Halloween movie with me?"

"I- I would love it…!" Genya gasped and you smiled as you quickly pecked his cheek and turned to leave, but as you were running off, you looked over your shoulder and waved at Genya, "See you later, 'Nya!"

Genya waved after you, stunned by your kindness, your beauty, and your sweet nature. It was like he was in a trance, and he finally snapped out of it when he heard his big brother's voice coming from behind him, "About time you two confessed!"

"B- Brother!?" Genya yelped and the Math teacher grunted as he started to walk towards the brothers' home, "Are you coming or not?"

"H- Hold up!" Genya called as he ran up to his brother, his mind full of questions, but your kisses were strongest in his mind.

[the-s1lly-corner]

A promise (Ragatha, Pomni, Kinger)

got struck with the idea of the reader being made to promise the canon character to not give up/abstract and it got me... feeling things so uhuhuh! yeah

Written on mobile so woooooooo

POMNI:

I think the topic comes up after a hard day of pomni (or perhaps even both of you) trying and failing to find the exit. And its taking its toll, but oddly enough pomni seems to be worried about you too.. maybe shes projecting, or maybe shes trying to convince herself of something. Whatever the case, she asks you to promise her that you'll hold on until you can both escape together. A "yeah" isnt going to suffice, you're going to need to say it out loud and look her in the eye. Shes so wound up you're probably going to have to try to help her calm down; brush your hands through her hair. Rock her, hold her, stay up with her. Pomni.. isnt the most collected and calm, but this is

Different. Honestly this could probably be it's own fic buuut I don't really do fics

RAGATHA:

I don't think she would ever make you promise something like this... under normal circumstances.. I think, if there was a rather rough day in the circus.. an extra draining and taxing in house adventure, another circus member abstracting, whatever it may be its going to take a lot for ragathas optimism to falter enough to ask that you please dont abstract. Oddly enough, I'm not sure if she'd have the strength in her to look you in the eye when she asks you.. that's even assuming she can even make herself face you. Given the mental exhaustion she'd have to feel it's best you give her some space to recover, but also.. keep an eye on her.. lay down with her, you guys dont even have to talk. I think ragatha would try to apologize for making such a request for you, probably after shes pulled herself back together

KINGER:

You abstracting is constantly on his brain. Actually you getting hurt in general is always at the forefront of his mind. I dont know about you guys but I know first hand that those thoughts, that constant worry, will ruin someone. He doesnt even try to be gentle when asking you to keep yourself together for him. He might even blurt it out, maybe even cling onto you. Hes already lost his wife, hes already been through that hurt before. That's also not taking into consideration of him losing friends to abstraction. He might not be able to bare you falling the same way. Rub his back and reassure him that you're not going to be going anywhere. As unfortunate and cruel as it sounds I think his own worries and fears would cause kinger himself to abstract; assuminging insanity also plays a role in abstraction.. I mean how hopeful can you be when you've fully truly lost yourself. I could add more but I dont want kingers piece to be longer than the others <\3

[lovelynim]

Thank you guys so f*cking much ❤️

Today we reached the 500 followers milestone and I, honestly, couldn't be happier. Day by day, I still question myself if people actually like my content or not, if I should keep going or not, but there is always that little note you guys left when you reblog my stuff that cheers me up and gives me the boost to keep going.

I don't mean to get emotional or anything, but I'm honestly surprised I made this far, specially when I'm surrounded by such amazing creators - which, thanks to this trashy blog, I could become friends with.

This is halfway through my life-time goal (which is 1k, heheh, maybe one day ~) and I really wanted to do something nice to play and celebrate with you guys, but the question is: what should I do?

I have asked a few people around what would be a good day and I'm not quite sure, so... could you guys help me out on this one? I plan to make this quick so we can jump into the celebrations, heheh

A little context in what each of this options mean:

3 sentences fic

I'm pretty sure everyone here is familiar with this concept already, since Ginny's game got pretty popular, buuut: basically, you guys send me a pairing + a spot and I write a 3 sentences fic based on it. If this options win, I plan to do, like, a LOT of them heheh

Speed writing drabbles

I already did this one once, but it's basically as the name goes: I'll have my inbox open for requests and try to write as many drabbles as I can. Might not take as many prompts as the option above, but they might be a little longer (and some might even turn into fics if the prompt really inspires me ~)

Public's choice

The same as my 400 milestone event: you send me a pairing and a starter prompt and I will write roughly half of it and open a poll at the end, with the second half being up to you guys decide ~

5 special fics

This probably won't be the final name, but bear it with me just while we decide, hehe. Heavily inspired on Mia's 2000 followers event, I'll prepare 5 themes (which I'll think of later if this option wins) and you guys can leave suggestions for one of them. Each theme will get its own fic later on, wrote with all the passion from the bottom of my heart ~ (why 5? because it's 500 followers, duh)

I hope it's all clear enough to understand, because it's almost 1 am here where I live and I have to wake up early tomorrow to work hahaha *gets shot*

Again, thank you guys so much for all the support (I'll go through all this rant again in the official post, but anyway) and please vote for you favorite options because I really wanna do something nice to you all ❤️

[barkbarf]

hey!!!!! just wanted to say I LOVE your fanfiction and I read them every other week of the month hehe (i love clayorel too much) and was wondering if you have any current ideas or plans for writing in the future? (i also love raymond and bloberta, do u have any cute headcanons for them :0000) have a nice day <3

I'm always so happy to hear when people return to reread my fic hahahaha so ty ♡ I hope you have a nice day as well! A's to your Q's are going below the cut :-)

I have a handful of WIPs/Unfinished fics (some clayorel, some other fandoms) that I sort of lost motivation on </3 I might return to them but honestly I write the most when I'm reaaaally fixated on a ship/idea, so once I get interested in something new I tend to drop everything else... Speaking of which; I do have a fic 4k+ words and counting in progress that will get posted soon - buuut it's of my current ship fixation, not clayorel... (Summer is DipFord season, okay?!)

NOW, about Raymond and Bloberta... Rayblerta? Hymentactcest? I dunno.

•I see them as very sweet! Raymond wants to give his beautiful daughter the attention she deserves, which she's happy to recieve!

•As we know from canon, Raymond just goes along with whatever is thrown at him, so I imagine Bloberta is the one who initiates any intimacy or romance - but that makes the moments where Raymond makes the move even better ♡

•I feel like they need to have a flower motif of some kind. I can't expand on this because I'm not sure what it would be, so hopefully someone understands my vision. Flowers as a gift? Them in a flower field or shop? Daddy-daughter dances with a flower corsage?

•As the overlooked members of the family, I believe they understand eachother well in a genuine way, though this is very silent between them.

That's all I can think of on the spot, but I'd love to hear you guys' opinions on them!

[itsjaywalkers]

I am thinking about writing my first fic about regulus having selective mutism and James learning sign language for the pretty boy in the library, it feels kinda out there I guess. Buuut do you have any tips for beginners starting to write?

oh that sounds so sweet and lovely nonnie, i love the idea and u definitely should go for it, especially if ur passionate about it!!

and i always feel . kinda flattered when u guys ask me for writing tips but also . a bit like an imposter bc i'm definitely not the right person for this😭

my advice is that u try to not beat urself up over it being perfect, it's better to get it done first and then u can edit it to ur heart's content!! also if ur anything like me u might get stuck on the beginning bc u just can't get it right so just . forget about it . write whatever or leave it incomplete and u can go back to it once you've written for a while and you've figured out the tone and the pov(s) and u know how u want it to go. AND don't wait for inspiration to strike, it usually doesn't come as often as one would like, and sure, writing is supposed to be fun and it IS a hobby but sometimes . sometimes u gotta push yourself a little and sit down to write even when ur feeling lazy or not really in the mood. and this last one isn't strictly necessary, but i recommend u have an outline of the whole story, even if it's something rough and brief, to avoid writer's block + it's also good to know how the story is gonna end. it's okay if ur not sure about the middle, or even the beginning, u can figure that out as u write, but the ending is . vital . at least to me

hope this helped nonnie, even if only a little, and i wish u the best of luck with this story and all ur writing endeavours <3

[adrikazu]

Now.. Consider Xiao (Our beautiful emo boi), Gorou, and Baal having a crush on a reader who's just shamelessly flirty

SHAMELESSLY FLIRTY READER PT 1

FEATURING— xiao, gorou, and baal

GENRE— fluff

NOTES— i like your funny words magic man !!! (also sorry for being a little inactive stuffs happening, check this post for the small explanation

WARNINGS— flirting, overall fluff !!

XIAO

EMO BOIII

he’s actually shocked

at first when you guys met he was livid about your flirting attempts towards him

and later on it finally struck him

that your flirting was working.

he couldn’t get it out of his head and it made him so angry

baby xiao doesn’t understand his feelings towards you

so, as usual he avoids you

🗿 … i know

your flirts drive him crazy and his hearts racing but he thinks it’s angry adrenaline

you might need to pause your flirting for a second because he’s gonna run away from u

xiaos self conscious but he tries to ignore that

so he gets concerned if youre flirting with other people too

it’s basically the emo person and the flirty cool person duo

after all of this comes down, his responses to your flirts come between:

him blushing and reprimanding you for having no respect for adepti

or his face flushing and his hearts in his throat and he turns away from you, furrowing his eyebrows

HES SHY AND HE HATES THAT HES SHY !!!

i’ll bet everything i own that he kind of wants to flirt back just to spite you

but he doesn’t have the power to do that

not when he gets flustered everytime anything romantic comes out of your mouth

yeah he’s emo, yeah he’s serious

yeah i think he would collapse smitten in your hands with your flirting hehe

GOROU

another shy boyyy

thing is this time he’s super honest ab your flirting

sometimes he will definitely try to flirt back to tease you

it’s a cute boy just flirting with a happy smile on his face while his tail wags

please pat his head

a rosy blush appears on his cheeks, no matter where it is

he’s more flustered when you flirt in public tho

he has a reputation as a leader and stuff, a lot of people view him as a really nice and confident and honest person

hes lowkey scared to know what they think when he suddenly succumbs to your words

Gorou will definitely tell you when you should not flirt, super honest about it

BUUUT he does love it i swear he does

i think something he might like too is when you flirt and then touch his ears

it wraps the cute moment and he ADORES it and HES VOCAL AB IT

i can definitely see the day when he gains the confidence and whispers a flirt to you in public in hopes that it’ll fluster you

if it does, his pride 📈📈📈

he’s very proud of himself and grins at you

if it doesn’t, his pride is inflated but he’ll try again harder next time and he’ll tell you that

prepare yourself bc he might ask for advice from someone and his next attempt might be crazy

overall, please flirt with him

he might flirt back if he feels like it <3

BAAL

oh… my lord

i mean oh my baal

she has NO REACTION WIAHJAHS

when you throw a flirt at her, the soldiers around her stare at you in utter awe

theyre like woah…. that persons gonna die

her liking you is like your free card to do any stupid stuff you want while she’s around

as long as it’s not TOO dumb

but baal likes you, so she’ll deadpan and then move on with her day

the most thing you’ll get from her is the furrow of her eyebrows or the occasional times when she scrunches her nose while turned away from you

if not a lot or no people are around, she’s gonna tell you smth like:

“You should really learn your place, and learn some respect”

she says this while there’s a faint smirk on her face

secretly likes when you bother her with this stuff

don’t worry if you ever think you’re bothering

she took in account your shameless flirting when she decided to like you

also… she’s lowkey confused ab her feelings

she’s kind of like: love??? wtf? no

tbh imo you can choose wether or not you want to continue your shenanigans

bc she didn’t kill or punish you from the start so you kind of have a chance

it’s mostly you flirting and her very very VERY occasional slight teasing and “warningly” remarks

her confidence and the superiority and demand in her voice all the while calm, is something to adore

to be honest, flirting like this is both a menace and amazing

one bc she sometimes barely gives a reaction

and two bc the times she responds to you are so attractive

either way keep doing it bc in the end she’s definitely gonna act on it and it might be smth romantic who knows oOoOoOo

[falling-pages]

heyy!! first off i hope you’re having a lovely day/night and are taking care of yourself :) i noticed your requests were open buuut i don’t exactly know how your requests work or your rules for requests and such so if any of this sounds unappealing to you then feel free to disregard it!!

i was wondering if you could do (headcanons or drabbles, whichever is more comfortable for you) for the hosts and how they would react if an s/o had an encounter with a toxic ex??

sorry if it’s troublesome but you’re one of the few people i’ve seen on here who write for ohshc and i recently had a run in with one of my, not so pleasant ex’s, and i’m still a bit shaken up by it. and once again no pressure or anything and if this doesn’t sound like something you’d want to do or isn’t something you take then feel free to ignore this :)

ty for your time love <3

Hi anon! Your request was so polite and lovely, it really made my morning :) my requests work just like this! Unless I post a prompt list or something, feel free to just slide in and send me a prompt! I have a stash of my own I’m working on but I always want to hear from you all and I’m always looking for ideas!

Thanks for sending this in! I really like this idea; it really showcases each of the hosts’ personalities. I’m sorry you had a bad run-in with your ex. I hope you take the time you need to find peace and comfort away from them, and I want you to remember that you are worthy of all the pure love in the world. I’m recovering from a toxic relationship too, so my messages are open if you need someone to talk to 💖

I listened to “You should be sad” by Halsey while listening to this.

Hosts running into your toxic ex:

Tamaki: 

1. Tamaki’s greatest wish in life is to have a family. A whole, complete, loving, annoying family. He made that happen at Ouran, and he wants to make it happen with you, too. When he loves, he loves with all his soul.

2. So he doesn’t understand why partners cheat. It literally astounds him. You’re in a relationship with this beautiful person you love, and you’re going to throw it all away?

3. So when he sees your ex and remembers all the things you told him they did to you, it takes everything in him not to go up to them and just tell them off.

4. You’re out shopping when you see them, and you silently duck behind Tamaki’s tall frame.

5. He instantly perks up and asks you to point out who it is, keeping you hidden behind him. 

6. When you show him, he pulls you to his chest and wraps his arms around you, burying your face in his shirt so you can’t see them.

7. Petting your hair and whispering sweet assurances in your ear.

8. “You’re with me now. You don’t have to be afraid.”

9. “They don’t deserve you. They never did.”

10. “You make me so happy. I would never dream of hurting you.”

11. “I’ll never leave you.”

12. You stay cuddled in his chest until your ex passes, with Tamaki sending them a death glare until they’re out of sight.

13. Tamaki buys you anything you want to help you forget about it.

Kyoya:

1. RIP to the person that hurt you, because he will ensure their demise

2. When you first tell him about your ex, he will do a little background research on them and learn their habits to make sure whenever you go out that you don’t run in to them

3. However, one day you do happen to run into them

4. Kyoya curses himself for not doing more research

5. You try to act like everything is normal, but he notices

6. The only thing keeping him from sicing his bodyguards on them is the tight grip you have on his hand

7. You go off to the bathroom to catch your breath and clear your head

8. He goes right up to them and threatens them within an inch of their life

9. “Listen here you bastard. I know everything about you. I know your SSN. I know where you live and what you like to do. If you ever, ever hurt them or go near them again, I will not hesitate to make your life a living hell.”

10. He scares them off

11. And when you come out of the bathroom and see they’re gone, you know he did something

12. “What did you do?”

13. “Don’t worry, I took care of them.”

Haruhi:

1. She will also give them a piece of her mind

2. She’s not one to take insults lying down

3. She yelled at Yoshio Ootori, after all

4. And those men in ep. 8

5. She won’t embarrass you or make a scene

6. But if they happen to walk too close to you

7. She might stick out her foot

8. They might “trip”

9. And end up with a broken nose

10. Oh whoops how could that have happened

11. But she will lovingly rub your back to help you calm down

12. And will make you your favorite food for dinner that night

Hikaru:

1. That boy is a little ball of anger anyways

2. So Heaven help if you ex sees you two together

3. The night you told him everything about your ex, he held you until you fell asleep

4. And silently promised you and himself that he would make them pay for hurting you

5. Hikaru has two modes

6. FIGHT

7. And

8. JEALOUS

9. You have to l i t e r a l l y hold him back when you see them in public

10. He will go buck wild on their ass

11. If your ex is male, he will tear him to pieces

12. He will knock them on their sorry ass and punch them until they regret the day they were born

13. Lights out mf

14. He is so furious that this person hurt you--you, the one he loves more than anyone in the entire world--that he will not stop fighting until the guy is bleeding from every orifice

15. You’re embarrassed at first

16. But you kinda like the lengths he went to to protect your honor

17. If your ex is a girl

18. He was raised to never hit a woman

19. So he will just glare at her so hard she’s sure to be seeing stars

20. And wrap his arms around you and give you a kiss to make it obvious that you are his

21. Once they’re gone, he keeps you wrapped in his arms to give you a steady anchor

22. With whispered promises of “I will always be here”

23. And kisses pressed into your hair

Kaoru:

1. Kaoru doesn’t get enough mischievous credit

2. Remember the refreshing battle? He can pull a few tricks even without Hikaru around

3. Sure, he’s more quiet and reserved than his brother

4. But if your ex even dares to show their face when he’s around

5. Then he will make it obvious who you are currently dating

6. As soon as your ex sees you he will pull you into a makeout session

7. Doesn’t matter where you are

8. School

9. Mall

10. Hitachiin fundraiser event

11. He doesn’t care

12. Sloppy, sloppy makeout session

13. He will kiss you so hard that you forget your ex is even around

14. If you’re comfortable with it, his hands will wander, just to prove the point

15. While he enjoys kissing you because you’re you, he also wants to show your ex how much you upgraded

16. Because now you’re dating a person who is protective of you and loves you with his whole heart

17. And isn’t afraid to show it

18. And who wants nothing but your love in return

Mitsukuni:

1. Dead. 

2. Plain and simple.

3. Dead.

4. Mitsukuni will see that this person makes you sad

5. And they’ll probably end up in a dungeon somewhere

6. Never seen or heard from again

7. And then he’ll just pop back up with you

8. “Where did you go?”

9. “Bakery!”

10. *slyly washes his hands of the remains*

11. Buys your silence with ice cream

Takashi:

1. Ya know that meme??? The “haha, I’m in danger” meme?

2. Yeah, that’s your ex when Takashi gets his hands on them

3. He knows you wouldn’t want much attention brought to it

4. But he feels the way your hand tenses when you see them

5. He sees the way you freeze when they walk by

6. He knows just how awful they were to you

7. And so that night when you get home, he sits down with you and untangles every knotted string connecting your heart with that person

8. He listens to you talk, holds you when you cry, and helps you figure out the healthiest way to cope with what that relationship did to you

9. He runs his fingers through your hair as you snuggle against his chest, feeling warm and safe and loved and cared for

10. You fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat

11. He is extra nice to you the next day

12. He knows you’re still healing

13. He’s just glad you’ve allowed him there for the ride

14. He does research to find the best ways to help you heal

15. Buys books and watches TedTalks and attends online forums

16. He brings up therapy as gently as he can

17. And points to his research saying it might help

18. And he’ll go with you if you want

19. Or he will support you from afar if you want to go alone

20. All that matters is that he’s there beside you for the journey

21. He will never let that person near you ever again

22. And if they ever show up

23. His fists will make them regret the day they ever hurt you

You inspired me to write a whole one-shot with some of the hosts! I’ll put that out soon. Thanks for the suggestion, anon :) <3

What We Do in the Shadows: A Rewatch Part 1

I am an excellent TV nerd. Cuz I have no life. So since tumblr has been giving me joy on What We Do in the Shadows (1 ep left this season) I thought I’d share some things I caught on a quick rewatch cuz I’m coping well. If its not obvious spoilers spoilers spoilers. For the purposes of whats went down this season I think the first ep to foreshadow any of it was 1X04 Manhattan Nights, where they go to Simon the dicks club in hopes of an alliance. Colin Robinson mentions hes a little gassy, so he’ll stick with Nandor. You’re like ‘oh ew poor Nandor’. Now Im thinking his end of life cycle began. When Simon spots Nadja he gloms on to her and muses quote:

“You know i worry about you cuz I hear all these stories about these vampires who you know slowly spiral out and then they get stuck in this real complacency and eventually they just fade away.” That again seemed like an easy reference to just then (they’d all been farting around doing nothing for 200 years easily) but now it seems to reference the crisis Nandor finds himself in. Could also reference Colin Robinson.

I was really blown away by Matt Berry this season. Like a lot of people I just thought ‘oh he must be having a rough time or something he just seems like a shadow of himself here’...can almost picture him going ‘and thats acting!’ I did a end of 2 start of 3 rewatch after the first few eps and I didnt catch it then but watching it now you can see Laszlo is just pure Laszlo up to the start of ep 2. He cant be fucked, he doesnt care at all, hes literally jacking off once they set up in the library. From there you get distracted cuz Kayvan Novak fucking brings it (HE DID THOSE VOICES TOO!!!) but rewatching it now it makes more sense if you pay special attention to the Laszlo parts.

After ripping the page out, Nandor finds him napping and asks him to pull Meg for him. Laszlo drops it on Colin Robinson, cuz (complete with gesture) he cant be fucked. When we next see him he seems to be fake reading erotica. He leaves, fails, returns. When we next see him, Colin is gone and Guillermo has literally keystoned in. We cant see what hes reading, but he seems to be genuinely studying it and kinda absorbed in it, as he has to kinda rethink Guillermo being there and says hey do Nandor a fav if u take that. Many fans correctly noted all we seen in the last ep he just rips the page real quick and it was at least two pages, we dont know if he ever read it again or looked closer to see if there was some more info on energy vampires. BUUUT rewatching that ep I think once he had found that page, he covered for himself with Colin coming back (he could’ve been reading the page hidden in the erotica book)...I mean he was jacking off next to him an hour ago I dont think he’d just be quietly reading if left to himself. Once Colin is gone and he’s back from failing at Meg he had some amount of time to read without anyone and again wasnt jacking it...just reading. I think since he knew that one book mentioned energy vampires off hand he prbly had a good idea what other books had mention of them...my theory is he was genuinely researching any solution for energy vampires after learning the 100 year death. Laszlo isn’t as naive as Nandor, and he clearly had a solid head for vampire literature. So I think there isn’t actually a secret solution he was just too busy to find. He really looked, and found nothing, and thats why he set out to not only spend time with Colin but keep him from finding any real info on energy vampires. In this ep Colin also muses to Dave(?) the young energy vampire that he doesn’t know where he came from, does this guy have any idea on their origin? CBD boy has no idea either. While there might be benefit to lying while Laszlo is around, he wasn’t in this case. So I think Colin genuinely doesn’t know a way out or that this death was coming. BUT I am a firm believer that we have seen on this show death for humans and vampires isn’t what it seems (who seen Barren come back?!) If they want to bring him back they have plenty of outs between ghosts who can go into anything (like ghost Nadja/Dolly) or his dead dupes in the backyard. Im almost afraid they may string us into next season without a resolution. They could! Then we’d be really thrilled when resolved. But I kinda think they wont...when he ‘died’ as the C man and co they did hold a funeral for him and bury him with his painting (thus face crushing). Nandor referenced him doing this ‘like 5 times before’ but while fans have taken that to be literal, they didn’t seem to think he ( plus two) was faking. They were annoyed when he woke up, didnt accuse him of doing it before or anything. I think Nandor was just being a dick cuz he was angry about being woken up, and he seemed to genuinely think this was a trick too, which to his credit he’d been woken up twice at that point. So I think he was just counting the two dead clones and one faked death, making 3 with this in his mind being 4. Back when they took the Barren out (1X6) the Barren asks if they know what hes always wanted to try, Laszlo says corprophilia lol. But by the time we get to 3X1 Colin has...a creepy obsession with Guillermo’s poop bucket. In 3X7 the Siren poops on his shoe and apologizes, he says its not the first time its happened to him. This stuck squeeks me out, buuut I almost wonder if there is a vampire legend tied to sewage/human waste that might be tied to the energy vampire. I tried googling it and theres a few obscure ones that were said to live in sewers (incl a Richmond vampire) almost all are ‘daywalkers’ but the majority are women. So considering they buried all that writing in fart jokes, I wouldn’t put it past them to have dug up something obscure to tie to his legend. Back to lighter topics...I noticed right before Laszlo finds the energy vampire page he flies down to Colin Robinson passing this sign in the library. I think its sumerian but haven’t had success in translating it. I wonder if theres a sign in there.

[machinatings]

I meant in general not just Taika characters!! Taika characters would be a double diversity win though

OH SORRY ANON for misunderstanding. But if you just want some Jewish characters in that case you’re in luck!!!!

But first- I’m actually gonna have to put this post under a cut because it got pretty long. To be honest though I genuinely thought it would be longer, but when I sat down to write a list I really struggled to think of Jewish characters, at least ones that I liked. Most of the ones that came to mind feel into bad stereotypes, had their jewishness played only for laughs, or only ever mentioned they were jewish like once during a Christmas special or something.

And some of the characters on this list do fall into tropes I don’t like, but there’s enough there for me to still like them. Either way I hope you, anon (and anyone else possibly reading this) find a character you might enjoy! Warning that most of these are comic book characters lol.

Oh and the last thing I’ll say up top here is that if anyone seeing this post knows of any Jewish characters you like that I haven’t mentioned please add on!

With that said. Here’s some Jewish characters I like:

Magneto: always correct. My grandpa <3

Kitty pryde: 💖💖💖 She has The best looks of all time, she yells at Professor Xavier, she has a magen david that can repel vampires. She’s bisexual. She’s the greatest character of all time.

Peter Parker (spiderverse): crushes a glass at his wedding and the director confirmed he’s Jewish. Also. Look at him.

Polaris: She’s magnetos daughter and has green hair which makes her very cool

Billy Kaplan: he’s Scarlet Witch’s son and Magnetos grandson (Debatably. We’ll get to that later) but not biologically, spiritually (comics are weird) but IN ANY CASE all you need to know is that his biological parents are Jewish and he is also Jewish. Anyway he literally has a gay Jewish wedding in space so if that isn’t enough to sell you on this guy I don’t even know

Moonknight. Please let him be Jewish in the tv show please let him be Jewish in the tv show pl

Leah told me to add Lexie (euphoria) and TK (911) which I haven’t watched either but their actors are Jewish and pushed for their characters to be Jewish too which is nice :]

Gray reminded me about ANNIE!!! From community!! I love ANNIE! We would hold hands.

The main character from Crazy Ex Girlfriend I forget her name. REBECCA. Rebecca?? I WAS RIGHT ITS REBECCA. I’ve only watched a few episodes but shes fun

Elsa from JoJo Rabbit genuinely means a lot to me I won’t spoil the film (which. If you haven’t watched it go fix that) but I really love how her character was written

ISABELLA FROM PHINEAS AND FERB. I remember when I was little seeing her celebrate hannukah and it BLEW my entire MIND I was like “CHARACTERS ON TV CAN DO THAT?!?!”.. yes little Ti. Yes they can. Sometimes I wish they would do Anything Else.

And finally, the internet says kronk is Jewish. From emperors new groove. I haven’t watched the film in a long time and I haven’t researched to verify if this is true but I don’t care. If I’ve been lied to I hope I never find out. Kronk is Jewish

Aaand now here’s some dubiously canon Jewish characters for fun:

Peter Parker (comics): this one I really want to put him in the straight up canonical Jewish characters section bc OK LIKE. He very frequently uses Yiddish, has name dropped quote unquote obscure jewish holidays, he was created and written largely by Jewish comic book creators (Stan Lee and jack Kirby) and very much embodies Jewish humour, morals, outlooks. Also Brian Michael Bendis who is a very big comic writer and made miles morales and has written for spider-man a bunch etc etc (I don’t rlly like him but Still) says that peter Parker is Jewish. He literally is Jewish. Buuut it’s technically not canon and is def not canon in the mcu so. Dubiously canon. 😐

OH YEAH ALSO Andrew Garfield is Jewish and said he played his Peter Parker as Jewish so there’s a win for the tasm fans

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver - magnetos kids. This is dubious because scarlet witch and quicksilver arguably don’t count because them being magnetos children was retconned which is dumb so I ignore it but still there you go. Listen. Comics are weird

Also on that note there’s Scarlet Witch’s other spiritual but not biological son who is Billy’s brother but born to a different, non Jewish, family: Tommy Shepherd. Is he Jewish? You tell me.

Spock! Leonard Nimoy and based the 🖖 signal from a prayer ceremony he saw :] Spock is Jewish to me <3

Aaaand there you have it! A list of Jewish characters. It’s not just me though, this list feels short right?? Granted there are plenty of iconic Jewish characters that I haven’t listed because I just haven’t watched/read the media they’re in but… considering I’m always actively looking out for and take notice of Jewish characters you really would think there’d be more. Im sure I’m forgetting some tho if I think of any more I’ll add em.

Still!! Hope this was the kind of thing u wanted anon lemme know if you wanna know anything else about these characters :D and again to anyone who sees this please feel free to add on!

First Time Sleeping with the Demon Bros

Okay so this post is going to be slightly NSFW since the topic is obviously sleeping with the boys. I am not really going into much detail in this post (kept it fairly innocent this time), but either way, I’ll be putting my writing below the cut in case someone doesn’t want to read it. Happy scrolling <3 (also all GN, its mostly about the boys instead of MC anyway).

Lucifer

-For your first time with Lucifer I personally imagine him being very gentle. We all know this is one sadistic man but he also doesn’t want to freak you out the first time.

-The type to compliment and praise you throughout. We he does show his more sadistic side, I imagine he will be checking in with you frequently to make sure you are alright.

-An aftercare KING he will be more than happy to help you clean up, will definitely get you some water, and gonna want you to fall asleep in his arms. Also, will NOT stop until you are both completely satisfied, sooo hope you aren’t too busy :*

Mammon

-I see Mammon being a very enthusiastic partner, for lack of a better word. Will try to play it cool and keep a bad boy image, however, can barely contain how excited he is.

-Much less gentle and slow than the eldest, I can’t imagine him being “slow/sensual” in bed at all. Even so, he will be checking in with you to make sure you are still doing well.

-He is ok with aftercare, I see him as more of a hookup guy though, so he might be a little awkward at first since he actually care about you. Well eventually get used to it though.

Leviathan

-Seeeeee I’m a strong believer in “the shy ones are the freakiest ones.” Buuut he may not go all out with the first time between the two of you.

-Gonna be really shy and awkward at first, however, with a little encouragement he is going to feel way more confident. Will probably use that tail of his though.

-Will snuggle the hell out of you afterwards, will thank you for trusting him so much afterwards too (this man doesn’t get laid often, he’s just happy to be invited).

Asmodeus

-Boy is PUMPED and not afraid to show it. He will ask you all about the things you like/don’t like. If you don’t know? Well guess you two are gonna start trying some shit and find out.

-I think he only really cares about his partner feeling pleasure. I don’t see him having and specific kinks, and he is really up for anything. 

-If you are uncomfortable with anything, I see him as being someone to help guide you through it and help you out. A great communicator all around. Will suggest you two bathe together afterwards. 

Satan

-This man is going to call you kitten and you can’t convince me otherwise. I don't care. I feel like pretty much everyone can agree this man has an unhealthy cat obsession. That being said he isn’t going to be breaking out the kitty ears for you to wear......this time.

-I see him as a relatively aggressive lover. Even your first time together, I imagine him not holding back much at all. 

-You are not going to be walking right the next day, sorry about it. And because of your limp, Satan keeps looking at you with that smug ass smirk on his face all day.

Beelzebub

-This sweetheart is so kind and gentle with you during your first time together.

-We all know this dude is buff as hell, and his is just so scared he might hurt his fragile little human. Constantly checking in and making sure you are feeling good.

-A cuddle fiend and will give you sooo many kisses and hugs after you are finished. Will probably fall asleep with his head in the corner of your neck, with a big goofy grin on his face. 

Belphegor

-Acts super nonchalant the whole time, but you both know better. Sleepy emo boy is loving this moment with you. Another somewhat aggressive lover in my mind, but takes it pretty slow the first time.

-He wants to savor this moment, in order to remember it forever. Probably going to tease you for any noises that you make though, with a cheeky smile on his face. He just loves watching you come undone because of him.

-Falls asleep very quickly after the two of you are finished (are you even surprised?). But will be cuddling the hell out of you, and mumbling how much he loves you, just before falling asleep.

DIABOLIK LOVERS Para-Selene Vol.5 Sakamaki Laito [Track 3]

Original title: 鏡の中に映るのは

Source: Diabolik Lovers Para-Selene Vol. 5 Sakamaki Laito [CD not owned by me]

Audio: Here (26:35~37:53)

Seiyuu: Hirakawa Daisuke

Translator’s note: Three tracks in and Laito is finally starting to show that perhaps he doesn’t enjoy this situation quite as much as he initially thought. I’m honestly surprised that the MC is staying relatively calm being around this guy with none of her memories intact. I feel like she was much more scared in some of the other CDs. Maybe it’s just me, but if I was suffering from amnesia, Laito would be the last person on my list to spend time with lol. Anyway, I feel like the next track will be an emotional one so we might be in for a wild ride guys.

Track 3: Reflected in the Mirror is...

*Rustle*

“...Bitch-chan~ ...Bitch-chanー Wake up...Wakeー upー...~”

You slowly stir awake.

“Are you still sleepy-sleepy? (1) Good morning, Bitch-chan~ I didn’t think you would just faint on me back then. Although I suppose I’m in no position to judge you. I was overcome by dizzy spells as well, and by the time I came back to my senses, I found myself here.”

You look around.

“Seems like a House of Mirrors. Come on, take a look. Your anxious expression is reflected both on the walls and the ceiling...Nfufu~ Don’t you think it’s beautiful?”

You try to escape his grip. 

*Rustle rustle*

“Oh come on, don’t throw a fuss! I’m being so kind to hold you in my arms! You should be a little more happy about it!”

You protest.

“Hmー I wouldn’t mind letting you go buuut...~ Either way, there’s no way of escape~”

Your eyes widen in horror.

“Fufu~ Your face of sheer despair excites me as well. Say, Bitch-chan? We were teleported here as part of the illusions created through your Paraselene Syndrome. Doesn’t that mean that deep down, you want me to tend to you here?”

You shake your head.

“Is that so? In that case...Shall we put it to the test?”

He pins you down.

*Thud*

“Come on, take a glance in the mirror. There’s a girl who seems anxious, unsure what I’ll do to her now that she is pinned down, yet at the same time, looks awfully eager, don’t you think? In the end, she ends up yearning for the pleasure. That girl...is you.”

Laito bites you.

*Gulp gulp gulp*

“...Aah~ No running~ You have to look closely, without averting your gaze.”

*Gulp gulp gulp*

“Nn...At yourself, as you drown into the pleasure given to you by my fangs.”

*Gulp gulp gulp*

“Mm...Ah~ ...Oh dear? You’ve calmed down quite a bit, considering how loud you were screaming earlier. I knew it...You do feel good. Fufufu~ You really are such an easy girl, aren’t you~?”

You deny it.

“Fufu~ I’m not wrong. You’re a ‘Bitch-chan’ who just loves anything which pleasures you after all.”

 You insist that is not the case.

“Hmー You’re still denying it? Darn...I’m kind of sick and tired of having this discussion, you see? So listen up...Just admit to it already.”

He continues sucking your bood.

*Gulp gulp gulp*

“Aah~”

*Gulp*

“Haah...Hah...Just focus on my fangs...As you relax your body...and take deep breaths...”

*Gulp gulp gulp*

“Hah...See? You already...can no longer fight back. Even without your memories, your body clearly remembers. This works in your favor, no? Look, you’ve already got that dreamy look in your eyes...”

You close your eyes.

“Oh come on, BItch-chan~ How could you close your eyes like that? Mmh...”

*Smooch*

“Nn...”

*Smooch*

“Come on, open your eyes. You’re making such a lovely expression right now. Look in the mirror. If not...I’ll thrust in my fangs somewhere much more...’risqué’~”

You open your eyes. 

“Nfu~ Mmh...~ Good girl. Come on, lift your face. Bitch-chan...What can you see reflected in your eyes?”

You flush a dark red. 

“Fufu~ You’re embarrassed? You love this sorta stuff too, right, Bitch-chan~? ...Fufu~ I’m having fun as well! It’s really funny. You’re giving me the exact same reactions as back then. Say? Try and enjoy it a little more. You just love this kind of thing, don’t you?”

You shake your head. 

“Haah...Bitch-chan...Didn’t I tell you I’ve seen enough of your innocent reactions? I think it’s about time you have some fun with me.”

You insist that you truly don’t like this.

“...Well, I guess that makes sense. Your past self would have obviously opposed to this. But you know, you can drop that attitude now. I’m already more than satisfied.”

*Rustle*

“Lately I had been feeling like our relationship was missing that ‘unf’, so I got excited by seeing you fight back for the first time in a while, but I’m honestly over it now. In the end, it has to be my usual Bitch-chan, or I can’t enjoy it from the bottom of my heart. I wonder how long this illusion will continue on for? Don’t you think it’s taking a little long?”

You ask if he is okay.

“...! Oh...Haah!?”

You explain.

“What has gotten into you all of a sudden? Why would I look sad?”

You frown.

“Haah...Don’t look at me like that. You’re usually so dense too, so why are you awfully sharp at times like these? ...Right. I’m probably...lonely. Because you’ve forgotten about me so easily. This isn’t like me but...I honestly don’t know what to do. If my past self was watching me right now, I’m sure he’d feel disappointed. ...Oh well, telling that to you in your current state doesn’t actually solve anything though.”

You comfort him.

“You finally called me ‘Laito-kun’...I’m happy...I guess we should quit the sentimental talk here? Your memories still won’t come back, so I guess we really have no other choice but to enjoy this situation. We will reinact impactful happenings within your memories. By doing so, these illusions will eventually come to an end. ーー In that case, I will just have to summon a vivid memory from within you. Where should I suck from next~? Say, which place would you prefer?”

You fail to reply.

“Well, I guess I shouldn’t have expected a genuine response. In that case, I just have to make a real mess out of you until you feel like becoming a little more obedient~ Bitch-chan...You like it when I bite your ear, don’t you?”

Laito tries to bite you when the dizzy spells suddenly hit again.

*BZZZZZZZZ*

“Uu...Argh...Kuh...!! Ugh...Haah...Ah...Haah, haah...My head is...This...again...!? Almost as if...I’m being...mocked...Where will it...take us next...? I hope it’s...someplace a little more interesting...Uu...!”

*Woosh*

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー 

Translation notes

(1) おねむ or ‘onemu’ is baby/toddler talk in Japanese. You wouldn’t really use it to adults all that often. However, Laito likes to use these kind of ‘childish’ or ‘cutesy’ words a lot. For example, in a lot of early era drama CDs, he would refer to kissing as ‘chu-chu suru’.
