couple outfits.

🌻👘 rurikawa yuki

yuki didn’t just date anybody, let’s make that clear. in fact, yuki never dated anyone before you!

yuki liked you, so, so much. before he said anything, it physically hurt him to be so distracted by your presence when he had so many responsibilities

(it also hurt tenma when backstage, yuki forgot what he was doing and didn’t look where the needle was going when he became too entranced)

(“you idiot! stop staring at them for one second!” tenma yelped, not seeing yuki’s embarrassed blush before the two got caught in a petty argument once again. obviously, you had to play peacemaker)

but yuki was scared every time you looked at him and saw your stupid smile. you seemed so happy around him, and yuki could tell the signs before you even knew

you had to like him romantically, your hugs lingered and personality was made of sugar only around him

you were so obvious, you liked him and he was scared of messing everything up. it was so rare to find a good friend like you, was it worth it to risk everything?

before he even knew it, yuki was preparing a rejection because no person could come between him and his work (at least, that’s what he tried to reason it with)

but every time you looked at yuki, with all the affection in the world, he didn’t have the heart to say it

maybe, yuki didn’t want to say something he didn’t believe in

so the best solution was if he avoided the topic, you guys would be friends forever and nothing would have to go wrong

so when he confessed out of no where, yuki slapped his hands over his own mouth because he was such an idiot (for once)

you two were buying fabrics for the next mankai production, yuki happily browsing the store with the increased budget

yuki practically pulled you to the secluded corner, convincing you the store’s hidden gems were always in the piles of boxes about to be donated

when you found a discarded silk scarf hidden amongst the mixture, you looped it around your own neck and pretended like you were ali–baba, reciting the lines from water me! to get his attention

(you helped yuki practice his lines in the script so you were practically an understudy)

yuki already started ignoring your ridiculous tactics, about to tell you to shut up and help him find the perfect material when he turned around—you had it!

yuki rushed forward, unintentionally pulling you in close as he inspected the fabric’s qualities, not realizing how you were invading his personal space

“how did you even find this, you must be my...” yuki stumbled on his words, looking up to see you staring at him with such unmasked fondness, it made him become flustered

“your what?” you questioned, playfully smiling as you leaned forward, causing yuki to automatically pull back

(silly yuki! he forget he still had a death grip on the scarf as you followed him forward, holding out your arm on the wall nearby to prevent you two from falling)

yuki flinched, expecting the impact of the ground but opened his eyes to see you were leaning over him and was trapped between your arms

a beat of silence passed. yuki was about to let go before you moved in closer, innocently tilting your head as you had a cat–like cheshire grin

“tell me i’m yours, yuki~” you giggled, watching the way his face immediately turned red. any other person, he’d push off without a doubt. but he liked that you teased him so much, that you were so affectionate and open to him

yuki wish he didn’t like you so much

he knew you were joking, but,

yuki really did like you so much

“you’re mine. i want you to be mine.” yuki admitted, his expression forming one of shock as if he couldn’t believe what he said. how could he just confess that?! yuki shut his mouth, still against the wall as you blinked once. twice.

it didn’t take long before you fell back from laughter, bruising yuki’s ego as he crossed his arms and looked away, embarrassed

this is what he got for trying to be spontaneous and “in the moment”. yuki didn’t know what to expect, was he ready for this?

wait... what if he’s been reading all the signs wrong? oh my god, what if you didn’t even see him that way?!

“aish... don’t laugh... you’re so—” yuki felt the scarf get yanked around his wrist like a lasso and before he could react, it was you who pulled him in close this time

his hands landed on your shoulders, trying to balance himself but you kept him steady, putting your arms around his waist as you grinned like a little kid

“i like you, too.” you confessed, overwhelmed with happiness as yuki felt the same

yuki smiled and closed the distance, feeling like you two were in your own world

the fabric store was forever his favorite now, because it was the place he 1. found the perfect silk material for a costume (every time), 2. kissed you for the first time, and 3. had his first relationship start

from that point forward, you two entered a relationship full of mutual respect, care, and even love later on

(yuki said it first, surprisingly enough. but this time, it was on purpose)

yuki fantasized about being the dream couples he saw online in his pinterest board, reblogging couples outfits and creating a private folder he gazed at every once in a while

when you discovered this, you intentionally showed up wearing the same color scheme as yuki and the rest was history

once yuki saw you were just as excited and giddy to appear as a couple, yuki put his sewing skills to work as he made custom pieces he knew you’d love

you name it, you probably got it: matching berets with your signature color, pretty hair ribbons and bows, and for anniversaries/special events, yuki would work day and night to craft the outfit of your dreams

yuki loved expressing his affection through gifts because it was personally difficult to say he liked you without sounding like his default sarcastic state

every day was valentine’s day, by the way

so showing up with a huge, perfectly wrapped box or bag with colorful tissue paper that always correlated with the gift wasn’t out of the norm, yuki loved spoiling you~ (lucky you!)

if yuki saw something in the window on his way home that reminded him of you, he bought it without a second thought and watched your eyes lit up (so worth his empty wallet)

if yuki found a teddy bear that was the embodiment of all things soft and lovely, it was already at your door step with a handwritten letter he would never admit to writing

everything that made him happy started reminding yuki of you (you had to directly tell him to stop to prevent him from going broke)

any time yuki went out shopping, he took you because he liked seeing what your interests and dislikes were

yuki was very thoughtful and considerate, always paying attention to how you reacted to certain things outside of the fashion world as well

but you also watched him closely as well, and it allowed yuki to reveal his more vulnerable, insecure side when he found out you didn’t judge him and even, understood him

you also practiced doing couple’s PDA with him when you noticed how scared he got

you would initiate hand–holding, hugging, and doing small things like bending down to tie his shoes or any ribbon he had on his outfit; just casual contact to get him used to gentle touches that were more than just friendly now

it took a while, but yuki started returning the favor by fixing the accessories in your hair and even wore this tacky tenma bracelet you bought for him as a gag gift

(he hated it and the way tenma looked like some egotistical maniac, but it made you laugh every time. it was worth it) (maybe tenma’s dumb face was good for something)

it was also nice to hear genuine, real compliments everyday. you make it your goal to remind yuki of the small details you loved on his outfit, or how soft his hair was, and the way he presented himself just to show your attention was all his when you two were together

yuki would grow to trust you with his whole heart, feeling his own heart become candy because you were just so sweet

you stole his heart and never gave it back, and it was lovely to know you were taking great care of it and truly treasured him for him

between the two of you, you taught yuki how to trust and rely on other people despite his independent complex as he often put on a strong front

yuki would go to you first if he had a problem, which was hard at first but he got into the habit because he wanted to show you he cared

yuki would text you frequently asking about your day (newsflash, he actually does want to know) and would send you updates of any piece he was working on

you understood yuki prioritized his seamstress career and always proudly spammed his social media posts with heart emojis and adoring compliments

(he always had to hide and cover his face with his hands because he was so grateful you were so proud) (he never told you that, though)

even though he’d instantly get flustered and tried to deny them, you helped him believe them more and more everyday until he could confidently take anything on in the world

(“if my partner thinks it’s cute, i’m cute!” yuki loudly said to the mirror, hearing your laugh the next room over. oops)

you guys didn’t have to talk every single day, though, don’t get me wrong. you two always wanted the best for each other and defined healthy boundaries to allow both of you to flourish and prosper!

yuki, at first, always apologized for spending time on certain projects but you never accepted them, instead encouraging him even more and praising his work ethic

yuki still sent you links throughout the day of things to try and cute outfits he’d love to see you in

it was so thoughtful that throughout the day, you were always on his mind even if he was busy

but no matter what, you two always supported one another through your endeavors and did everything 100% with each other’s best interests at heart

you really liked yuki, and he liked you back just as much, maybe even a little more

(okay, definitely a lot more)

I finished all the info on my boy, so I'm just gonna drop it because I'm an impatient motherfucker. I put a lot of effort into him to try and make him as realistic to the game as possible.

The Taxidermist Rian ‘Kazugra’ O’Byrne Gender: Male Born: June 20, 1997 Age: 24 Nationality: Irish American Realm: Hangman’s Forest Power: Frankenstein’s cure Weapon: Walking stick Movement speed: 115% Power speed: 130% Terror radius: 32 meters Height: Tall DLC: Beauty in Death Special ability Frankenstein’s Cure “A powerful concoction containing poisonous plants such as nightshade and hemlock. It disables the body, but the mind remains awake. For a disease as destructive as humanity, paralyzation is the only cure.” Start the trial with 4 vials. To cure a survivor, press and hold the power button to prepare the syringe. Release the power button to increase movement speed for 10 seconds and rush at the survivor to initiate injection. A successful injection will trigger a timer for the survivor. At the end of the timer, the survivor is immediately put in the dying state and killer instinct reveals their location for 5 seconds. Before the timer ends, survivors can find and inject the remedy at cabinets scattered throughout the map. These cabinets are highlighted in white to the killer and affected survivors. To replenish your stock of vials, interact with a cabinet. Cured survivors suffer from the following afflictions: - Hindered effect - Exhaustion effect - Illusionary terror radius Perks Shadow kin You feel a sense of kinship with the crows of the realm. In your time of need, they offer you their eyes. All survivors within 5/8/12 meters of a crow will have their aura revealed for 5 seconds. Shadow kin has a cool down of 1 minute. Stirred Mulch The lessons of the forest stick with you. Listen to nature, and she will guide you. Disturbances in the environment are significantly more noticeable. Scratch marks made by survivors last 1/3/5 seconds longer. Sounds made by running survivors are amplified. Formaldehyde You crave the perfect specimen. You become obsessed with one survivor. Every time your obsession is healed within a 48 meter radius of you, you gain a token. You can gain up to 4 tokens. Each token decreases your terror radius by 3/5/8 meters. If the obsession is sacrificed or killed, all tokens are lost. Lore Rian O’Byrne was born in Ireland in 1997. At the age of 3, his family moved to America in the hopes of achieving a better life. They started a new life in Detroit, Michigan, but quickly fell into poverty after the chaos of 9/11. Growing up poor in a world where he had to live in constant fear deeply scarred his psyche. He was labeled as an old soul, always isolating himself from his peers and opting to read a book rather than play. With his childish innocence ripped away too soon, he watched with bare eyes as humans destroyed the world. He learned hatred, rage, and vengeance as those around him began treating him differently, separate from the rest of the population. He fell to self harm, finding comfort in the punishment of his human body. As if taking pity on him, nature left a gift in his path. Rian, at the age of 12, found an injured crow on the back steps of his house. He had a soft spot for animals, so he took the crow in and attempted to heal it. The crow lasted a few minutes, but ended up taking its last breath in his hands. He handled it the way he handled everything that upset him, he turned to his creativity to right the situation. He made it his mission to keep the bird’s beauty alive in death. With the help of the internet, he learned how to take apart the bird and salvage its parts. He took its skull and painted it to represent the night sky. In the basement closet, he set up a small shrine for the bird. Its skull rested in a bed of black feathers, surrounded by a crown of smaller bones and dried flowers. As if nature had appointed him a purpose, Rian started finding dead animals wherever he went. They started off small: birds and rodents. He would take them home and perform the same ritual of taking their bones and painting them. Eventually, the animals started getting larger, harder to hide. He managed to salvage a roadkill cat at one point, almost getting caught by his parents who arrived home sooner than expected. He’d started taking walks in the forest nearby, occasionally finding shed antlers to add to his work. After returning from one of his night walks, he found his parents in the basement inspecting a sickly sweet smell. In a panic, Rian ran upstairs and packed a bag with his things and ran away from home at the age of 16. With what little money he had, he managed to make it to a small town in the upper peninsula. A local farmer found him dehydrated and starving on the side of the road, and decided to take him in. They arranged a deal. Rian would work for them, and they would help him get back on his feet. He would wake up early everyday to work tirelessly on the farm, and would turn in early at night to work on preserving animals he found nearby. Out of fear, he kept these shrines out in the forest. He would often come back to find them ruined. This frustrated him, so when he managed to save up enough, he got a small apartment in the heart of the town. He continued to work on the farm in his free time, but with his own space, he was able to keep a safe workspace. He managed to get a job as a vet technician, giving him a better source of income. With this money, he was able to get better supplies for his work. He learned how to preserve flesh and make leather from leftover skin. Bigger subjects became easier to deal with now that he actually had the tools for working with them. His home became a graveyard of sorts, a place to remember the unfortunate victims of humanity. He lived in peace for 2 years, but as he already knew, good things don’t last. A man broke into his house late one night while he was working on a deer skull, holding him at knife point while he threatened him. Rian, strengthened by years of work on the farm, overpowered the man and turned his knife on him. All the rage and hatred he had held over the years came spilling out when the man insulted his work. Rian slit his throat, watching with disinterest as the life faded from his eyes. It was similar to the animals he worked with, but this time, he felt no sympathy, no urge to preserve him. He wanted to tear him apart and put him back together to represent the monster he really was. Rian locked himself away in his room for weeks on end, feigning sickness so he could work on his new project. After 4 weeks of work, Rian took the complete work and hung it in a tree in the surrounding forest where he knew someone would find it. The man was completely unrecognizable. His skin had been removed, dried muscles exposed and decorated with shards of glass. His limbs had been amputated and sewn back on with wire; his wrists ended in stumps, hands relocated to cover his empty eye sockets. His jaw hung low, black tongue flopping uselessly in the tooth empty mouth. His teeth stood out in a crown around his exposed brain, accompanied by shards of glass. His genitals had been burned off, and his gut had been ripped open and emptied, leaving only a dried heart hanging in the empty space. A week later, his work hit the newspapers. People began panicking; there had never been a killer in that town, let alone one that gruesome. Rian reveled in the fame, the power, the fact that he had finally gotten rid of one of the things ruining the world. He grew addicted to the feeling, and started watching people to find his next victim. With the leather he harvested from his last victim, he made a mask roughly resembling a crow. He became obsessed with the idea of plague doctors; he wanted to embody an inhuman doctor, here to cure humanity of its filth. From this sparked his new identity: Kazugra. He was no longer human, he was a vengeful spirit come back from the dead to enact vengeance. His next victim was a pedophile who he managed to drag into the forest. He ended up tied to the trunk of a tree along a hiking trail. He made headlines all month. After his third victim, Rian realized it was too dangerous to stay in the heart of the town. With what he had saved up, he moved to a cabin in the woods nearby. When he would go into town for work and other tasks, he would keep an eye out for future victims. Mangled bodies began to show up more frequently in the trees. People dubbed him “the modern Frankenstein” for his monstrous creations. The surrounding forest became the “Hangman’s forest.” To make matters easier for himself, Rian started learning how to create mixtures of deadly plants to take out his victims. He started a small garden of nightshade and hemlock, favoring those plants for their ability to paralyze his victims. At first, the mixture was too strong, resulting in his victims dying swiftly. Though, with some adjustments, he was able to get the perfect solution, capable of disabling them while leaving them awake. The police were struggling to identify the killer, as Rian was meticulous in his care to leave no clues. The bodies continued to pile up, and news of his work began to spread throughout the U.S. With the leather he had harvested from his victims, he made a new mask. One to represent his true self. During a particularly rough kill one night, a person managed to capture a picture of him with his mask on. The picture spread like wildfire, and he became a controversial subject online. At the age of 24, the police finally caught a trace of the man behind the murders. They found a single strand of red hair crusted to her dried flesh. Immediately, they tracked him down and pinpointed his location. As soon as Rian heard the vehicles outside his home, he fled into the forest. The forest seemed to whisper to him, telling him how to get away. A crow descended from the trees, staring at him with burning orange eyes. The whispers told him to follow it, so he did. The forest grew foggier and darker, until Rian was swallowed into the night. The modern Frankenstein was never found.

Chapter 2: Hahaha I Do That

Hero school doesn’t suck as much as I thought. Probably because my aunty Midnight is still there teaching and she makes me feel like I’m my own person. Everyone else just compares me to my dad, love the man but I’m here to spite him. It’s my mom’s birthday today, I hurry home to see what my dad was planning for her. I get home to see my dad comforting my mom on the couch, I stay quiet to drop in on what they’re saying.

“Darling, everything’s alright”

“I know but it’s been 26 years! I want to go home.”

“Please don’t lose hope, I don’t want to hear you giving up!”

“My heart hurts, I can’t think.”

“Go recoup in the office, I’ll handle things here”

“Okay...I love you.”

“I love you more.” They kiss and mom warps out as my dad stands up. He spots me “Oh Lili you’re home! I didn’t hear you.”

“Is mom okay? She was crying” I was concerned because mom is usually so composed and cool headed “did something happen?”

“Its, a complicated concern” Dad hesitated on his words, eyes shifting to the stairs that lead to her office “but why don’t you help me with dinner?”

“Alright, let me change out of my uniform” I trot my way to my room and see that my little sister was also home but probably in the boys room to pester Tensei. I change quickly and get back down to the kitchen to see my dad scolding my brothers.

“Boys! Stop eating cookies or you’ll ruin your appetite!”

“You don’t tell me what to do old man!” growled Tensei as he took 3 cookies from the platter and warped away with Iwa.

“What are you making dad?” I walk up to him to help.

“I’m making ceviche and other raw cuts with sushi rice” he whispered “it’s your mom’s favorite as a child” he pointed at the vegetables “can you help me chop up these?”

As I cut the ingredients, I watch how shifty my dad was getting “Dad, can I ask you something? About mom?”

“Of course!” he turned off the stove “what do you want to know?”

“When was the last time she went to her home country?” I put the knife down “I know she’s from America and all her family is there, but doesn’t she visit when she’s homesick?”

“Oh dear” he sighed in defeat “your mother hasn’t been in America since she came over here at the age of 15.”

I was in shock “Why hasn’t she gone?”

“Lili, there’s a lot of things your mother has been through that she doesn’t like to share” his eyes shift to the family photo in the dining room “it was traumatic and heartbreaking, but she had to leave her home to protect her family and herself from all the violence back home” he put his hand on her cheek “it’s just not safe for her to go back but she’s not alone anymore. She has us to fill the void of home in her heart.”

Things sort of made sense “Does ever miss her old home?”

“All the time!” he laughed “your mom would tell me stories about her home when we were in high school. She lived right behind the high school she attended but she wasn’t allowed to teleport in so she’d have to walk like everyone else!”

We continue making dinner as he told me mom’s stories, but I was tempted to eat a cookie “Did you make these cookies dad?”

“I did! They hold a very special significance to your mother and I”

“How?”

“You see, I met your mother on her 16th birthday and she made these cookies to celebrate with us but she got shy and didn’t say it was her birthday” he reminisced “so we all thought she was being nice. It was the most delicious cookie I’ve ever had and I had to talk to her after class to thank her. So when I did, I saw her face up close and I didn’t know how to act” he blushed “I accidentally made her cry and got in trouble by Midnight but if it wasn’t for this cookie, I wouldn’t have known that your mother was my soulmate.”

“Soulmate? How did you know she was your soulmate?”

“Every time I see her smile and laugh, it makes me happy. When I talk to her, my mind blanks and I lose my cool” a smile cracks on his face “When I hold her in my arms after a rough day, it feels like I have the world in my arms. And when I held her hand for the first time, I felt my heart skipping beats. That’s when I knew that she was someone special and I would be a fool to let go.”

I meditated on those words all through dinner and into bedtime. If my dad could figure it out, I can too! I decided that tomorrow I should tell Maru that I don’t have feelings for him.

-The next day, Lunchtime-

“Yah know Togata” I started as I looked at them down their rice “I still can’t figure out where I’ve seen you and it’s bothering me.”

“How so?” they said with their mouth full

“Like, I’ve told my mom about you and your dad” I recalled “she said that she doesn’t like working with your dad but she knows that he has 2 sons and a daughter. But she doesn’t remember the last time she’s seen the kids.”

“Yea, since mom died, my dad has been very protective of us” they wiped their mouth “if you didn’t know us before that, then seeing us now would’ve been a weird surprise.”

“Well what about your sister?”

“Let’s just say, she’s not dead but no longer with us.”

“Huh? What do you-”

“LILI! Mind if I sit here?!” Maru yelled, interrupting me.

“Oh um, I rather if you don’t Maru.”

“Why not?” he pouted “I haven’t spend anytime with you since the first day!”

“Well I’m getting to know my classmate here” I gesture toward them “now if you don’t mind, we were in the middle of something.”

“Oh right! Sorry to bother!” he backed away when he saw Hoshi “I see you after school?”

“Yea, see you later!”

Hoshi gave me the wide eyes “You didn’t tell me you and the number 1 hero’s son are like...that.”

“Oh god no!” I gagged at the thought “I’ve known him since I was born and he’s just my friend” I huffed “he looks and smells like a Brussels sprout!”

Hoshi bursts out laughing “A brussels sprout?! Oh man I’m dying!” he fans himself “I didn’t know you were so funny Iida-san!”

I don’t know why, but their laugher sparked joy and it made me soft. When school ended for the day, I waited for Maru by the parking lot.

“Sorry to keep you waiting Lili” Maru ran up to me “were you waiting long?”

“No I’ve been here for a few minutes.”

“Cool, oh! Did you want to go get some boba?” he clapped “there’s this good place here at the town square.”

“I’ve been, I prefer the cafe though” I fixed my glasses “I’m an iced coffee person, I just wanted to walk and talk.”

“Oh alright” we started walking “what did you want to talk about?”

“You know what you said after my summer showcase?”

“Yea, what about it?”

“I know that you care about me and I appreciate your company but I just” I tried to keep my tone neutral “it had nothing to do with you, but I don’t feel the same way you feel towards me.”

“You don’t want to be my wife?” he said sadly.

“I just think you could do better” I said to disarm the situation “like when you kissed me, it was my first kiss and I didn’t feel anything! No change in my heart rate, no warm fuzzy feelings nor any sort of happiness.”

“Let me try again” he leaned in as I leaned away “please Lili, I want to be your love and I feel strongly about you.”

“But I don’t and I’m sorry” I was really feeling bad that I broke his heart “who knows! Maybe down the line when we become adults, we’ll reunite and start something.”

“I really thought you’d feel the same” he sighed “your the only girl that’ll talk to me.”

“What about Bakugo-san?”

“Elise? They’re not a girl” he hard exhaled “they’re the embodiment of angry!”

“I always thought you two would be together” I pouted “I shipped you two so hard as a child that I wanted to be the flower girl at your wedding!”

“Silly girl! I like the sweet and pretty types” he ruffled her hair.

“Gah! Not the hair!” I punched him “I’m not sweet, I’m tough as fuck!”

He gave me a once-over “Didn’t know tough girls wore pink lace socks with ribbons in their hair.”

I got home and was greeted by the congregation of my mom, Mimi and Jin in the kitchen.

“I’m home!”

“Welcome home Lili!” they chanted.

“What’s the haps?”

“We didn’t end up going to Hiroshima for that meeting” Jin explained “so we’re just chillin here, watching the little ones.”

“Nikita is starting to develop her quirk very nicely” Mimi said proudly “she can now mimic my voice!”

“Oh that’s cool!” I looked at my mom “also, I talked to my new friend and they said that they do have 2 older brothers but that the sister is not with them anymore?”

“That’s slightly concerning” Mom put her cup down “Oh jeez it’s been years since I’ve seen Mirio’s kids. I swear those kids are more secured than our facilities!”

“Yup! I can’t find a single thing about the kids” Jin sighed “no medical records, dental records, school records nor pictures past a certain point!”

“Well in any case, I’m glad that one of the boys is alright” Mom tried to change the mood to something more positive “Lili can you go check on the kids? They’ve been awfully quiet.”

I nod and put my bag down to find them. They were outside, laying on the grass.

“Y’all dead?”

“No! Just tired” Rosa snapped “Nikita is a little too energetic.”

“I was going ZOOOOM!” clapped Nikita.

“Well if y’all just tired” I turned to go back inside “then carry on.” I go to my room and get started on my homework. The scene of Hoshi laughing popped up in my head before I had to wash up for dinner, I don’t think I’ve ever felt soft over a laugh before. Am I in love? Or am I just excited to have a friend other than Maru? Either way, Hoshi and I are in fact good friends! And I’m happy that I’m not unlikeable in this new environment, I’ve had classmates that compliment me and say hello and good bye to me at least! I guess being in the cutthroat world of dance really makes one cold and bitter when you want to be the best. 

-2 weeks later, UA training grounds-

“Iida-san, can you make a net so we can catch all the targets?”

“Sure thing! One net coming right up!” I rubbed my hands as I unraveled the muslin sash on my waist “tell me when to stop.”

“uhhh....okay stop! That’s good” my classmate commanded “okay everyone take a corner and lets catch the targets as they fall.”

We’re in groups of 5 for some team building rescue, my team was getting along fine....other’s struggled quite a bit. When we all recouped before heading in for the day, I noticed that Hoshi’s PE top was ripped.

“Hey I can fix your top real quick if you want” I offered as we walked to the locker rooms.

“Um sure BUT um lets go over there” Hoshi panicked and pointed to the edge of the school garden “I don’t want anyone to see.”

“Alright lets” we walk over and the whole time he’s being skiddish “um, that rip is bigger than I thought, mind if you lift your arms a bit so I can get a proper fix?”

“Yea, I MEAN NO!” he lifted his arms but then quickly dropped them “I don’t feel comfortable doing that.”

“Oh I see” I take off my sash “my top wont fit you but you can cover up with this until I fix the top.”

“It’s not that” he starts to turn red “I’m just scared about what you’ll think about this thing I have on.”

I look at the rip and I see that he has a spandex-like undershirt and toned stomach “I don’t see anything out of the ordinary?”

He sighs and takes a quick look around to see if there was anybody watching “Okay, I’ll show you” he takes off his top and tosses to me “um, I’m not sure how to say this, I haven’t shown anybody this.”

I look and I don’t see what’s the thing he’s referring to “What is it? All I see is compression top and your toned body” I poked my stomach “my body is still a little soft in some places.”

This makes him feel a little less nervous “It’s not that but I’m” he takes a deep breath “I’m transgender, I wasn’t born male. This is my chest binder to hide the one thing that will give away my secret.”

“I had no idea” everything clicked for me “wait, does that mean that you WERE the sister I was talking about?”

“Yes, and I knew the whole time who you were” he sighed “remember the night of the hero’s gala? My dad and your parents were talking and we played together” he smiled with tears in his eyes “you snuck me outside so we could star-gaze and you said-”

“Make a wish! My wish is that all your wishes will come true!” I remembered what I said as a child “that’s right! I said that and my favorite thing were stars because in Japanese it means wish and star!”

He nodded as he wiped his tears “That moved me so much as a child because my mom died and I needed something to give me hope” he looked up at me “you saved me Lili, I wished to see you again and that we could be friends. I even changed my name to Hoshi!”

My mind was racing and I felt my heart skipping beats “And your wishes did come true, we did meet again” I smiled “and we are friends, I won’t tell anybody about this.”

“You mean it?” he was surprised to hear me say that “You’re not disgusted by me?”

“Why would I be disgusted? I thought you were one of the boys until you showed me this” I looked at the ripped top “I should fix this!” I fixed the garment and handed it back “you’re my friend Togata-san! Friends don’t let their friend’s secrets out. You can come out whenever you’re ready to tell the world, but for now, I’m glad you told me and I’m happy you’re living your truth.”

He looked at me wide eyed and ran forward to hug me “I’m so happy you accept me for me” he sobbed “it’s been so hard for me to find someone that cares that isn’t my brothers. You can call me Hoshi.”

“It’s not problem!” I hugged back “then you can call me Lili.”

I took note on Hoshi’s appearance and I couldn’t tell if they were female before, the only thing that made them familiar to me were their nose and eyes. He had lighter blonde hair, dark blue eyes and the same height as me, and I’m a tall girl to some! He had some muscle build on him that made his embrace feel secure. I feel myself go soft again, something was happening but I’m not sure what. We spent more time together after that, I told my mom the truth. She was so relieved and happy for them! She encouraged me to bring them over whenever. Hoshi was even happier to know that my mom cared about them too.

“Hey Lili, wanna go to town square with me?” Maru confronted me after school.

“Sorry not today Maru” I winced “I’m going home, It’s Iwa’s birthday.”

“Aw I see” He facepalmed “I forgot that you had siblings for a second heh” he fixed his shoulder strap “I was hoping to spend some time with you, it’s been weeks since we’ve had some one on one time.”

“Yea it has been a while” I push my glasses up “but maybe Elise-sama can accompany you today.”

“Since when did you-”

“DAMN RIGHT I’M FUCKING LADY!” Maru was drowned out by Elise’s holler “Omaru! What are you doing loitering around?”

“He was just telling me he wanted someone to accompany him to the boba shop” I butt in before Maru had a chance to speak.

“I’ll be happy to go!” Elise quickly takes a death hold on Maru’s hand “Why go with this little girl when you have me. Let’s go Omaru!” 

“Hey wait!” Maru tried to protest but he was already being dragged down the hall by Elise. He looked back to see Lili and Hoshi walking away in the opposite direction. That really bothered him that he didn’t even notice that Elise literally dragged him by the hand all the way to the boba shop.

“Hey circle head!” Elise let go of his hand “what’s with you? You’re not as annoying lately.”

He sat down at the patio table “What are you talking about?”

“You and twinkle toes-chan” she crossed her arms as she sat down across him “you did something stupid and now she’s not happily joining you anywhere.”

He sighed “you caught me” he put his head down on the table “I kissed Lili the weekend before dorm move-in, and I really though she’d say yes to being my girlfriend but she just panicked and bolted away” he cringed a little remembering that night “she even told me later that she doesn’t have feelings for me and that I could do better. Now she has a new friend and she hardly wants to be around me. I don’t know what I did wrong.”

“You know what I think” Elise put a finger on his forehead “I think that you need to let go, yea you two are friends but you treat her like she’s the only girl in the world!” she flicked his forehead “newsflash Omaru! There’s girls throwing themselves onto you for you to even look at them! You’re so dense and narrow sighted to things that it pisses me off!”

He rubs his forehead “Gee I’m sorry that I like somebody so much” he sat up “but don’t know if I can let go.”

“You have to, she’s all grown up” she sighs “we all grew up together, I’ve noticed all her changes. To be honest, I hope they end up with their new friend” she smiled “they’re so adorable together, a graceful type with their brawny type.” 

“That’s what I’m afraid of” he said in a defeated way “I’m being shut out and I’m not the one she depends on anymore.”

“Don’t turn this into a harem thing for her” she rolled her eyes “she’s going to beat the shit out of you if you try to do any of your romantic gestures” she puts her hands up “I’m calling it now.”

“And what are you going to do if she doesn’t?”

“I’m going to beat the shit out of you” she growled “stupid, you’re not going to be ‘the one’ and you’re a fool if you think you are.”

“And what if she does?”

“I’m going to laugh at you, patch you up and kiss your stupid face” she laughed “you’re not the only one with a childhood crush.”

“Oh” he turned red and covered his face “GYA why do I need to get my ass kicked to get what I want?!”

More people are taking note on my new level of friendship with Hoshi. Some were bold enough to ask if we were dating, of course we said no every time. I don’t know if what I have is love or respect for Hoshi! It’s all confusing but we’re enjoying each other’s company and conversations. We even train together but that’s mostly because in the case of their top ripping, I could quickly fix it. The weeks fly by so fast that the Sports Festival comes around and I wasn’t feelin’ it.

“I don’t wanna show them my skills like a show pony!” I huffed and stomped “Dad, isn’t there a work around?!”

“I’m afraid there isn’t” he sighed “look, it’s just a one time thing and you are guaranteed one internship with uncle Tensei if you don’t do everything.”

“I’m not in the mood to show the pros what I can do” I crossed my arms “humph! I wanna dance for the masses, not fight!”

Mom puts her hands on my shoulders “Listen up kiddo, how I see it” she makes eye contact with Lili “if you make your fighting as stylistic as possible, you’re putting on a good show and everyone will be like ‘look how pretty she moves!’ and all the while, you’re just dancing!”

“You know what, I just might do that!” I smile “thanks mom! I guess I should go into my wing to get announced in” I turn to run to my place “see you later!”

Her parents waved her off until she was out of sight “Can you believe my little girl, growing up in my footsteps?!” 

“Tenya, are you crying?”

“It’s just that, it seemed like a week ago I was holding her in my arms for the first time” he wiped his tears “and yesterday she was dancing around in her little pink dresses, now she’s on her way to be a hero!”

“Come on you cry baby! We have to hurry to our box seats if you want to see the opening ceremony.”

I tried my best while giving a show during the spars. Kinda fucked up to pit us against each other like this but I’m not going to question anybody about it. I didn’t make it to the final round, putting me in 5th place. Hoshi got 3rd and that was pretty cool! For a brief moment I saw his family, he didn’t look too happy to be with them and I wondered why. I didn’t ask though. 

-The following Monday-

“Who do you think you got offers from?” asked my classmate.

“I know I got an obligatory offer from my uncle’s agency” I rolled my eyes “as much as I love my family, I don’t want to be under my uncle’s and dad’s wing.”

“Who’s your uncle and dad?” asked another confused classmate.

“Are you kidding me?” Hoshi spoke up “did the rocket feet not give it away?! Her family carries the Ingenium legacy!” he pointed at my features “glasses, tall, strong legs... all features of the current Ingenium, her dad.”

“WAH?! You’re basically royalty Iida-san!”

“Oh please! I’m nothing like that Turbo Doofus” I blushed “in all honesty, my mom made the family line much more interesting with all the random quirks like my second quirk” I waved my hands to reshape my hair ribbons into a lasso to pull the chair in front of me, making my classmate miss their chair and fall on their butt “who knows, I might fuck it up and make us known for something else.”

“Alright class, settle down” sensei walks in with a huge stack of packets “I have offers to pass back to you, some of you got a little too much attention so be warned on the thickness of your packets” he starts to pass out the packets “...and here’s yours Miss Iida.”

I get my packet and it’s very light. I look over to the others and see their’s are obviously thicker, guess nobody wanted dancing hero Lili. Flipping into the offers part, I got one from uncle Tensei and another from...Best Jeanist? Who the hell is that? “Hey Hoshi, did you get an offer from a Best Jeanist?”

He flipped through his papers to check “Nope, but I’ve never heard of them?” he pondered “maybe he’s new?”

“Doubt, the agencies in attendance were all well known ones” I furrowed my brow “this is weird, I’ll ask my parents then.” When the day ended and I got home, my parents freaked out over the name.

“WHAT?! HE WAS THERE?!” mom screamed and panicked “Oh my god oh my god oh my god!”

“I don’t- what?!” dad was sweating as he quadruple checked the offer sheet “it can’t be?! After all this time?!”

“What’s the big deal! Tell me!” I was freaking out because my parents never collectively lose their shit over things.

Mom takes a few calming breaths “Okay, I’m cool, I can be cool” she turns toward me “Best Jeanist is the hero I interned under way back when” she cracked the biggest smile “and why we’re both shaken up is because he retired like 20 years ago and he was doing some traveling last time I spoke to him.”

“Yeah, he was an amazing hero! Number 4 to be exact” dad butted in “he worked with your uncle and some of my family in hero work. You probably don’t remember him, he held you as a baby and even made you that pink satin dress you loved so much.”

“He made me that dress?” I remembered the dress but not who made it for me “but if you say he’s retired, why extend an offer? Is that allowed?”

“I’m not sure” dad pondered and handed the packet back to me “looks like you have to make a difficult decision.”

I sat at my desk for what seemed days, trying to weight out my options. I made my decision an hour before the paperwork was due on Wednesday....hope I made the right choice.

[yoyoplisetsky]

I’ve had a long past few weeks and been very busy, so technically this list is for like,,, 2 weeks, but I want to get back on track, so I’m pretending like it’s only for 1. Hopefully, starting next week, I’ll be able to read/write more frequently again. Hopefully? :) Anyway, I hope you enjoy the fics I liked “this week”. As always, please please send me suggestions if you have some ^^ Also this list is like 75% Nuri and Meg and I’m only half sorry for it. Also! This time I tried to link tumblrs as much as I could; pls tell me if you know a tumblr I didn’t link :)

What I Read This Week (7/2-7/9)

The Westchester Samba - FullmetalChords - @phoenixrei - Victor knew a lot of things about his fiancé. He knew that he loved dogs, especially poodles. He knew that he was allergic to dairy and had a special fondness for a Japanese dish called katsudon. He knew that he’d taken dance lessons when he was young, and that he’d thought of going pro before realizing that art theft was a lot more lucrative. He knew every mole, every scar, every stretch mark on his body, and had spent considerable time learning and worshipping each one. He knew his fears, and he knew his dreams. He did not, however, know his name. (My review: Probs my fave story in Meg’s thief au tbh)

patellofemoral pain syndrome (Ch. 1-2) - seventhstar - @pencilwalla - It’s just…does Viktor not get bored with doing it the same way every night? Doesn’t he want to spice things up? Is Yuuri being unreasonable? He’s pretty sure that if Viktor told him his performance in bed was unsatisfying his soul would flee his body for a more merciful plane of existence, but…Viktor is thicker-skinned than he is. And so here they are. Viktor’s bed is wide and soft, and Yuuri is lying there with wet hair and ratty boxers while Viktor absently trails kisses over his shoulder. It’s nice. It’s soft. It’s good. Viktor’s headboard is enormous and Yuuri keeps thinking about Viktor’s wrists bound to it, black rope over white skin. Fuck. He should say something. (My review: Nuri’s arthritis porn is A+++ everyone needs to read it okay?)

even sinners have hearts (Ch. 1-2) - seventhstar - @pencilwalla​ - Alexei Ivanov is watching Yuuri as he lifts the cup to his mouth. His lips part to drink; Yuuri has never wanted to be a mouthful of sake more. I have to kill him, Yuuri thinks, and he stands up and announces to the room the time and place of the tour he’s giving tomorrow. Or, the one where they're powered criminals in love. (My review: HOOOOOOOO BOY YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED? SOME TELEPATHY MM YES. YES. WRECK THEM NURI I MEAN YUURI)

Eros, and Other Love Stories - FullmetalChords - @phoenixrei - Eros. Yuuri understands it in theory, of course. He’s seen what must be hundreds of movies about the very topic, but never really understood them. Never understood why the protagonists of these films make such fools of themselves for sex, or why they fall head over heels in love with the first pretty face they see. He nods and smiles and sighs along with the rest of them… but he’s never related to those characters’ struggles. Not even a little. What is wrong with him?- - A character study of Japan's ace, Katsuki Yuuri. (My review: I sitll haven’t commented on this because I’m 8.2 million years behind on everything but w o w Meg’s ace!Yuuri blew me away. Unbelievable)

The Triple Lutz Job (Ch. 1-4) - FullmetalChords - @phoenixrei​ - Backed by the world's foremost hackers, grifters, and thieves, Victor Nikiforov works the other side of the law to fight against injustice on behalf of the underprivileged. When a woman asks for his help in retrieving stolen government data, Victor and his team infiltrate a local figure skating competition in order to take down a corrupt CEO. But beneath the ice's frigid beauty lurk many perilous secrets that may be more than even the world's greatest thieves can handle. (My review: IT’S ABOUT FSAJKFSING TIME I READ THIS MEG I’M DYING MEG’S OTABEK IS BEST OTABEK.)

Twice The Love For Yuuri - smutinator - @smutinator​ - Yuuri and Viktor go camping and end up having a three-way with Viktor's fairy doppelganger. (My review: Look, I always need more vyv. We all know that. Very well written and A+.)

Six Hours Ahead (Ch. 6-10) - alipiee - @alipiee​ - (In which Yuuri unknowingly befriends Viktor online and gushes to him about the living legend himself) (My review: Another story I was 50 years behind on. I love this super sweet au, and I live for Niki and Yuuri. It’s very cute and ccan’t wait for more)

never tasted rubies - ebenroot - @ebenroot​ - Phichit puts up a poll on the radio website. It reads ‘What Do U Think About Yuuri K. from Hasetsu Nights and the Mysterious Caller Victor?’ Seventy-five percent of listeners said ‘lol they should just f*ck already tbh’. -- in which Yuuri is an unwilling radio host and Victor won't stop calling in to chat with him (My review: I feel like I might hvae read this one before but ??? it’s???? so good??? Definitely a favorite in the fandom)

(Don't Stop) 'Til You Knock On My Door - FullmetalChords - @phoenixrei - “And…” Victor wets his lips. “You… want this?” A sly smile spreads across Yuuri’s face. “I want,” Yuuri says, putting his hands on Victor’s hips as he pulls him closer, “to give you what you need.” He brushes his thumbs over Victor’s hip bones. “Will you tell me what you need now?” -- Yuuri is ace. Victor is not. They both find a way to get what they need from each other. (My review: Ace!Yuuri feat. Viktor getting no control in his life for once because he fucking needs that sometimes. God, Meg killed me. Again.)

While you were sleeping - Chessala - @chessala - In which Yuuri falls into a Coma after saving Viktor's life and Viktor is having a hard time dealing with it. (My review: I shouldn’t have any room to say “this is so sad” with me also writing a mcd this week but also how dare you i loved it)

Reptiles - KasumiChou - @kasumi-chou - Yuri was over JJ spamming him pictures of his snakes. Snakes were not cool. No. Nope. Cats were one hundred times better. And then he finds out how hot Otabek looks with a snake around his neck. (My review: So I’m def super behind on Kas’s Twitter au, but she did this thing with snakes and I needed more. This is my fault. <3 u kas. I loved it)

The Virtue of Sin (Ch. 1) - DefiantDreams - @gia-comeatme - When Yuuri comes home to 7 demons, each embodying the 7 Deadly Sins, it’s honestly the least of his worries.Surprisingly, they help him get back on his feet, succeed in his career and get the man of his dreams.(But, as with anything, there is a price.) (My review: so I saw essa reblog this prompt and was immediately excited because a) i love essa and b) the prompt looked great and she did not let me down, excited for more!!) 

How You Turned My World, You Precious Thing - cuttlemefish - @cuttlemefishwrites - Labyrinth-inspired (1986) AU. When Viktor’s sister dies in a car crash, he’s left to take care of his one-year-old nephew Yuri, despite barely knowing how to take care of himself. It’s too bad Viktor has accidentally wished Yuri away to the Goblin King, whose killer eye-shadow game and glitter storms are nothing compared to the Labyrinth protecting his castle. Now, Viktor has 13 hours to get Yuri back or he risks losing him forever to the Goblin King, who also has 13 hours to convince Viktor that forever is not long at all. (My review: the labyrinth au i didn’t know I needed until z started to write it - feat. baby yurio, goblin king yuuri, and clueless viktor who is definitely at fault for this)

What I Wrote This Week (7/2-7/9)

never stop remembering him - “The flight from Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow to Fukoka has gone down,” The loudspeaker was saying, and Viktor wished the ringing would return. “We have no word yet on the passengers or crew, but it is reported that an engine went out and couldn’t be recovered, and the plane crash landed. As we get more information on the flight, it will be reported. For now – “ They began to talk about other delays, but Viktor didn’t bother to listen, his heart feeling numb. He just had to remember to breathe. (Or: Yuuri dies after Rostelecom and what can Viktor do?)
