âProject Sekai Boys x GN!Reader: Jealousy!â
â - Hi! Well welcome to my account, and I hope this is to your liking! I did do a friendship with Akito, and an acquaintanceship with Toya I hope that's okay but if not I can always re-write it! This was so fun to write and thank you so much! I hope you start feeling better!!
You had been nothing but excited when you had found out that you were playing the lead role in the upcoming play for Kamiyama. It wasnât often that they held plays, and when they did it was a huge schoolwide thing, either everybody wanted to be a part of it or everybody wanted to know who was going to be a part of it. So this year when they had finally hung up the paper that had said your name next to the lead role you were ecstatic. It wasnât long until almost everybody found out and congratulated you, but what you forgot to look at was who was playing your love interest and when you finally found out from one of your friends that it wasnât somebody you even knew all that well you started to get a little freaked out.
Akito had been a good friend of yours since you were in middle school, you had originally met Ena in your art class and soon was introduced to her brother. When he had also read the cast list he seemed a little upset, not with you being the lead, he was so excited for you, but for the casting of the love interest. Another guy. He had been wanting to use the time at rehearsals and the kiss to get closer to you, but that wasnât gonna work with another guy in the way of it. It had been weeks since he had actually had the chance to talk to you, since you were always busy with the play and you didnât have any classes with him at all. So it was only in brief passing that he actually got to see you, but with the overload of students and the underload of time he never had the chance to stop and speak to you. It had been a couple more days it was time for the before showing for anybody that wanted to come, so he, An, and Toya decided to go together, as it was during lunch and it would also give Akito a chance to talk to you again, but as the play was going he just kept getting more and more pissed off. Starting with frowning, then crossing his arms, and then finally tapping his foot on the ground. An was too involved to figure out what was happening to the ginger boy next to her, but Toya wasnât (too) oblivious. He figured out after he started crossing his arms that he was pissed at the ânobodyâ that was flirting with you. Toya only slightly chucked under his breath and was just quite possibly going to mention it to you later.
He was one of the quiet kids that you had come to know through the year as he was always willing to help you on things if you didnât understand them. You two normally hung out in the library to work on some of the math work that you didnât understand during lunch and after school. Though for the past couple weeks you had to keep canceling since the play, it had taken up most of your time throughout the past couple weeks making sure everything was ready and you remembered everything. He was a little upset by this but when he was studying with you he heard nothing but how excited you were to be in the play this year and how hard you had been working for it. He was obviously excited when he had heard through the halls that you had gotten the lead, though after hearing some more conversations throughout the hallway that some other guy that he had never even heard of was playing your love interest. He came to almost all the open rehearsals, since he had told his dad that he was gonna be âstudyingâ and was going to be staying after school anyway. So after watching the first couple rehearsals and realizing how close that guy was to you, and how much he always flirted with you to get âmore in characterâ and all he could do was watch with a frown that guy trying to lean in and kiss you.
He had known about the play from overhearing you talk about it with your friends during your couple shared classes that you had together. You two really didnât know each other, only having a couple class assignments and projects that you two had worked on together, and him overhearing conversations with your friends, though he was excited when he found out that you were trying out as well. He had been hoping that he could find something that you were doing as well so he could possibly have more of a chance to talk to you, though he never thought that this would be it, but when the cast list came out and he realize that he was playing the villain and you were playing the main character, while some unknown person was playing your love interest. He was obviously upset but at least he would still have the time to see you when you were at rehearsals, or so he thought. The whole time that he was going to go up and finally talk to you, the guy who had been playing your love interest had been flirting and fake kissing you trying to âget ready for the performanceâ. Rui could only sigh and watch as this ânobodyâ kept faking kissing you and telling you (In his opinion) the worst pick-up lines ever.
As somebody who had mostly starred in all of the plays around Kamiyama he was well known and normally was always found practicing in school and after school. You had heard about him from the other cast lists that had come out and when you figured out that he was also auditioning it did kinda scare you a little, but you were quickly cured of that when you realized that you had gotten the lead and was the third side lead. Though it was confusing when you saw as your love interest somebody that you had never even heard of but you just shrugged it off, though Tsukasa wasnât that easy. He wasnât even going for the lead of this one but after hearing your audition he wanted to play your love interest, too bad that nobody had beat him to it. No matter, you two were still in the same play and he still had plenty of chances to talk to you, well that was at least his plan. Too bad it backfired on him. The day that rehearsals had started it was always you and that âlove interestâ the whole time. There wasnât even a place for anybody to get a word in since he was always basically hanging all over you and trying to be more âin characterâ by touching you and telling you dumb pick-up lines. Like how dare he, The great Tsukasa could do so much better then âIf you were a vegetable you would be a cute-cumberâ but all he could do was cringe every time the guy said that you were a âfine-appleâ and pretend not to notice all the times that he tried to lean in for a kiss.
â- Please if you are going to repost any of my works anywhere else, ask permission first! There will be almost a 100% chance that I will say yes as long as you just ask and give credit! Thank you for your understanding!

Hello. Iâm looking for a story that I read years back. All I remember about it was that Bucky liked being bound up. Steve took them to a cabin and instead of bondage tape he bought vet tape because it was cheaper. That and I remember a game where he blindfolded bound Bucky and surrounded him with sex toys and Bucky had to guess what they were.
Anon 2 said:
I read this fic a while back; I remember that the summary was part of a book that Bucky had written about the accident that lost him his arm (he had a Stark prosthetic, and was touchy about people liking it)? It was an AU where Bucky and Steve were both college professors, with Steve possibly an art teacher? I think Bucky and Steve didn't get on at first? There's a scene where Steve does a painting lesson for some of the professors, and a faculty event/party towards the end? Thank you!

Hi! I hope youâre all doing well. Iâd like to ask if you know or are familiar with this fic. Itâs a time travel au (??) where Bucky as The Winter Soldier was accidentally or purposefully sent by Hydra to the 1930s? or 1940s? to kill pre-war Steve Rogers. Before Bucky went back, he told Steve abt Pierce. TFA timeline still happens and when Steve woke up to the new century, he acts all oblivious but in actuality he was plotting his revenge on Pierce. He did killed Pierce in the end I think?

Airport Ballrooms | A Delayed Flight
so I donât think I ever posted this there, and it reminded me that I need to post the rest of the chapters of LSS. but for those of you who havenât come here from my ao3, hereâs a little something I wrote back in January.
Summary: What happens when you hear a piano at 3 am?
ao3 link:Â https://archiveofourown.org/works/13332432
She hears it before she sees anything. Right as she exits the washroom, a songâs beginning is heard from a piano. As it proceeds, she finds that itâs vaguely familiar.
Coming into the open area where sheâs been sitting and trying to nap for the past three hours, she sees that the formerly vacant piano is now occupied by a man whose fingers are gliding across the keys, his dark hair slipping over his brow. He looks like he might be about her age, although sheâs not sure.
Heâs very concentrated on his playing, so he doesnât notice when she stands off to his left, watching. He ends the piece softly and when he looks up, he sees her and jumps, putting a hand to his chest.
âJesus Christ! âŠalmost gave me a heart attack there,â he laughs.
She smiles. âSorry. That was really nice,â she says, gesturing to the keys. âWhat was it?â
He shrugs. âJust some good old Chopin.â
She nods. âSounds familiar.â
âDid you recognize it?â He asks. âItâs one of his most famous pieces.â
âYeah, kinda sounded like a lullaby or something.â She scrunches her nose. âNever mind.â
He hums. âNo, I get what you mean, it has that quality to it,â he says, getting up and pushing the bench in. âWhatâs your name?â
For some reason, itâs at that moment that she notices he has freckles, although not many. âJane Hopper, but I go by El. I like your freckles,â she unashamedly comments, then cringes. Fuck.
They start moving toward the seats where she left her luggage, and she sees that there are a few more bags nearby that must be his.
âReally?â He answers. âI used to have a lot more when I was younger, itâs kind of a side effect of aging that you lose freckles.â
âTheyâre cute.â She looks at her feet. Again? Seriously?
âAlright,â he chuckles. âIf you say so, El.â
Itâs then she remembers she hasnât asked his name.
âMichael Wheeler, but no one except my parents call me Michael. Mikeâs easier,â he says, tilting his head. âWere you on that flight to Indianapolis? I think itâs the only one that got delayed this late.â
She sits back where sheâs been this entire time, and he sits next to her. Theyâve just met, but itâs nice not to have to sit in an empty airport terminal at three in the morning by herself, chasing sleep she knows sheâs not going to find. âYeah, Iâm going home. I was in Vegas at a speech pathology conference."
Mike grins. âVegas, huh? Whatâs it like, hit up any casinos?â
El lays her head back. âI was there for work, so no. I guess I could have, some of my coworkers did, but casinos arenât really my scene. Too loud,â she responds. âMy friend Dustin definitely did, heâs still there,â she adds with a smile.
âHe sounds like fun.â
âDefinitely is, though sometimes he can be a bit of a handful,â she laughs. âHow about you? Going home too?â
Mike nods. âYup. I was in LA visiting my cousin, but also working. Iâm a piano teacher,â he says, wiggling his fingers. âAnd thereâs been a new initiative here in the States, to get some sort of standardized way of teaching, like the Royal Conservatory in Canada. So thereâs been collaboration happening, stuff might be in the works.â
She turns to look at him, taking in the excited way he says this. âYou seem really happy about that,â she remarks.
He nods again excitedly, his mop of hair flopping over his eyes. âAbsolutely! It would make things easier if every teacher across the country had a certain level of things to teach students. Be easier for students too, especially if they ever have to switch teachers.â Suddenly he blows air upwards. âI need to cut this shit,â Mike says, gesturing to the dark locks surrounding his face.
El contemplates him for a second, taking in how he looks. âNah, it looks good with your face.â GOD, EL! Stop being so forward, you just met him! âI think so, at least, if my opinion counts for anything,â she says, suddenly shy.
Itâs weird, she thinks, that she just met this guy less than ten minutes ago and theyâre already talking so easily.
He smiles. âIt does,â he says, taking out his phone. He shows her whatâs clearly a selfie, but it looks like thereâs two of him. âThatâs my cousin.â Mike points at the one whoâs wearing a Guns Nâ Roses shirt. âAnd this is me.â Heâs wearing a simple striped t-shirt.
She looks more closely at the picture, trying to find some difference between them. âYou guys look like twins!â She exclaims.
âWe could be, if he wasnât five years younger. We get that a lot though,â he answers. âI think youâre going to agree with me on this.â He continues. âHe says heâs more attractive, but I say we look the same and therefore have the same appeal. What do you think? As an outside party.â
El looks at it again, and finds that she disagrees with Mike. âI think youâre cuter. Something about you,â she replies.
She looks up to find that a lovely pink blush is spreading across his cheeks. âSomething I said?â She winks. Oh my god you fucking idiot. She suddenly feels crushed by the weight of her mortification.
He makes a strangled noise, and the hour and her tired brain must be getting to her, because somehow she finds it the funniest sound sheâs ever heard. Itâs also a little comforting that he doesnât seem completely put off.
âDamn, that was smooth!â He says, starting to laugh too. âI gotta tell him you said that.â
âIsnât he sleeping by now?â
He shakes his head. âNo, he says sleep is for the weak. And itâs only two in Cali, and itâs the weekend.â
She reads over his shoulder as he types.
Cute girl said Iâm cuter than you LOL
Suck on THAT tozier
âYou think Iâm cute?â
Mike blushes again. âYeah, pretty. Really pretty,â he says softly. He gets a text almost instantly.
I dont believe u wheelie
U probably paid her or smth
Also, suck on what ;)
Actually nvm thats incest its just my reflex response
Mike looks at her. âIs it okay if we make a video and send it to him so he believes me?â
She shrugs. âWeâve still got at least four hours to kill, so why not?â
He pulls up the camera and starts recording. âFine, you donât believe me, here she is herself,â he says, turning the camera on her.
She waves awkwardly. âHey⊠um, whatâs his name?â Cringe.
âRichie.â
âHey, Richie, just a little video to say that in my opinion your cousinâs cuter than you. And no, he didnât pay me to say that,â she states, glancing off camera with a small smile.
Mike turns the camera back to him. âThere you go, asshole. Video proof.â
He sends it, and they wait a minute in anticipatory silence before Mikeâs phone vibrates with another text.
Lmao that doesnt convince me
She is cute tho ill give u that
Mike heaves an over-exaggerated sigh, shaking his head. Youâre a dick, he types, go to sleep Iâll text when I get home.
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK, MICHAEL.
GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP, RICHARD. YOU HAVE WORK TOMORROW.
FUCK WORK
Mike stares at his phone for a second before turning it off. âIf I keep talking to him then heâll never actually go to sleep.â
El smiles at him. âHe seems like a fun person.â
âOh, heâs an absolute dick. But I love him,â Mike says, shaking his head again. âWe werenât really close as kids but then he moved nearby and we talked more, except then I went to college. Heâs closer with my little sister.â
She nods. âDo you have any siblings?â He asks.
âNope. Just me and my dad.â
âThatâs nice. Sometimes I wish there had been less people in my house, wouldâve meant less embarrassment in certain situations,â he says. âI have two sisters, one older, one younger.â
âI wish Iâd had a sister growing up, wouldâve made things easier sometimes,â she answers. âCan you even imagine how awkward my dad was the first time I got my period?â
He doesnât say anything for a second, and she thinks maybe she shouldnât have said that. OH MY FUCK.
âSorry, that was awkward,â she laughs. WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK.
âNo, itâs fine, just unexpected is all,â he says. âI mean, weâve only known each other for like fifteen minutes.â
They look at each other, the same thought going through their minds. âThis is weird,â they say together, and then they start giggling.
âI just-â He takes a breath. âDo you feel like you know me from somewhere? Because I feel like I know you but I donât think Iâve ever met you before.â
Itâs what sheâs been thinking. She feels a sort of familiarity with him, something sheâs never felt so quickly with anyone else. Itâs like sheâs known him for a long time, or maybe in another life or universe.
She grins. âIsnât there a multiverse theory?â
After spending an hour discussing parallel universes and the physics involved in understanding any of it (which they both have enough of a basic grasp on because of watching too much History Channel), Mike is sitting at the piano again, El having asked him to play something else. She doesnât recognize the beginning, but as it progresses she realizes she does know it. It gets her moving, and she doesnât really know what sheâs doing, but sheâs circling the piano and the man playing it in a way that somehow fits with the music. She even sings along with the main melody and the trills.
She feels like heâs transforming the place into a gigantic ballroom with his music, and sheâs the princess dancing with her prince (except thereâs no prince to dance with, because heâs too busy making the music). Itâs a stupid thing to think, but she never had dolls or was allowed to watch princess movies or read fairytales when she was a kid, and she feels like she missed out. Hopper let her watch movies and read, but it wasnât the same as a teen as it wouldâve been as a kid. And maybe itâs just a dumb fantasy, a creation of her mind because sheâs tired and suddenly thinking about her horrifying childhood, but she thinks the imaginary ballroom that only has her and Mike in it is a wonderful place to be.
He ends the piece with a theatrical flourish, throwing his hands up off the keys as soon as the last notes are played. âHow was that? You were dancing!â
A laugh escapes her lips as she claps. âIt was amazing! I knew that one, itâs from the Nutcracker, right?â
Mike nods vigorously. âGotta love me some Tchaikovsky.â
âIs that why itâs so dancey? Because itâs for a ballet?â She asks, curious.
âNo, itâs because itâs a waltz,â he answers, stretching his arms up above his head. His sweater rides up to reveal a sliver of pale skin, and she finds herself staring without being able to tear her eyes away. âWaltzes are inherently dancey, I think. At least thatâs what I always tell my students who play them, it helps them really hear the tempo and accents if they try to see the dancers.â
She averts her gaze, and heâs still talking. âYou know, âcause waltzes have the accent on count one, so it goes one-two-three, and sometimes when youâre caught up in playing you forget about it so itâs good to try and envision the dancing. The music was written for dancing after all,â he finishes. âEl? Sorry, was I rambling, because I have a tendency to-â
âNo,â she breathes. âYouâre just really attractive. The piano suits you.â She almost face palms. WHY am I like this????
That shuts him up, a redness spreading across his face once again (but this time along with a wide grin). He might just combust if he looks at her, so he looks at his hands instead.
âSorry,â she says, worried sheâs crossed a line she wasnât supposed to yet.
Mikeâs head whips up. âSorry? What are you sorry for?â
âIâm too forward. It almost always ruins things with guys.â She deflates almost imperceptibly, and she wonders if he noticed.
Apparently he did, because El feels herself pulled into a sideways hug, tugged down to sit on the bench next to him. âHey,â he says softly. âYouâre just saying what you think is true, which is a great quality to have. You saved me from my own rambling, so thanks.â He gives her a squeeze and adds, âIt hasnât ruined things with me.â
Suddenly the air is charged and she thinks that if they werenât in an airport she might have kissed him then. Sadly, they are in an airport. Instead, she requests that he play something more contemporary than Chopin or Tchaikovsky, and he starts up with a rendition of Halo by BeyoncĂ©.
They spend another hour around the piano, him playing more and she observing. El thinks he plays with a lot of grace, his fingers moving deftly across the keys almost as though heâs stroking the instrument. He looks like he belongs in front of a piano, making beautiful music for all the world to hear. In this case the world is a strange woman in an airport at the asscrack of dawn.
Itâs five in the morning when the pair crashes back onto the seats next to their bags, and they lean their heads on each other and fall asleep. However, it seems things are only in increments of one hour on this night, because itâs six when El awakes with a start, knocking Mikeâs head off of hers.
âAttention passengers: flight 337 to Indianapolis International is now scheduled for take-off at eight thirty. Boarding will begin at gate twenty-three one hour in advance.â
âHey,â she says, seeing Mike next to her looking disoriented. âFlightâs at eight thirty but we gotta be there at seven thirty, do you wanna get some breakfast?â
Looking around, she sees that the open area that was so empty during the night now has other people milling through it, and it shatters the warm space sheâd felt she and Mike were in. Itâs time to go back to the real world, away from the fantasies of ballrooms and princes and dancing. The magic of the night has been erased by the movement of the morning and she hopes what she thinks she felt between them hasnât been erased too.
He yawns. âIâll take that as a yes,â she says, getting up to stretch and grabbing her bags.
They walk around the slowly filling terminal, looking for a place to eat, and light upon a cute coffee place in the food court. They order and eat in silence, avoiding looking at each other, until he speaks.
âDoes last night⊠feel like it was a dream, to you?â Mike asks.
I thought that was just me. She takes a sip of her black coffee. âIt kind of does, yeah. This entire encounter has been weird.â
He looks down at his croissant, crinkling his nose, then peeks back at her through his lashes. âIâm sorry.â
âNothing to be sorry for.â
He says nothing else, and neither does she, so they head off to gate twenty three, and she thinks somethingâs wrong because he wasnât this quiet or awkward last night. The tension is palpable, but sheâs never been very good at social interactions and she doesnât know what to say. He probably realized how dumb I am. She thinks she may have come across as very brazen (which she is, but she hates it for how it ruins everything all the time). Mike hadnât seemed bothered by her earlier, and she had hoped that something good might have come out of their chance meeting.
It seems it was not to be, however, because the only thing he does as they board the plane is wave and give a little half smile when he finds his seat. El sighs and settles in for the hour and a half flight. Sheâs decided sheâs going to try to catch up on the sleep she missed instead of sitting in abject misery, and it works because sheâs blinking confusedly when a flight attendant wakes her to say that they will be landing in approximately forty minutes.
Sheâs excited to be back home, to work, her patients, her dad and Max. But sheâs also the teeniest bit sad because she wants to explore that special connection she feels with Mike, to see what it means and what itâs about and she believes sheâs ruined her chances (okay, so maybe sheâs more than a teeny bit sad). Sheâs convinced herself that nothing was ever going to happen, she had imagined the unexplainable thing she felt between them.
She makes it through baggage claim and isnât sent to customs, so Elâs on her way out of the terminal to catch a taxi because both Max and Hopper are working today when something does happen. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees a person running out of the passenger exit, and she thinks that they must have seen a loved one they missed.
That is, until she hears the shout. âEl!â
Itâs Mike of course, and he comes to a skidding halt in front of her, breathless. âI just- ran- all the way here- because- Iâm a dumbass-â
âWhoa, hey, breathe,â she says, âI donât need you dying on me in the middle of the airport.â
He nods and waits until his breathing levels out before straightening up. âI wanted to apologize for being so stupid and awkward this morning, I donât know what got into me.â He swallows before looking at her directly. âI really want to see you again, so⊠do you wanna go out sometime?â
WHAT! She doesnât respond for a few moments, shocked. But then she grins and says, âAre you asking me on a date?â
He sucks in a breath, about to shake his head, she can tell, but then he stops. âYou know what, fuck it. Yes, I am.â
âWell, Iâd certainly like that.â
El leaves the airport with Mikeâs number in her phone, and sheâs only been in the taxi for a few minutes when it pings with a text.
Can you do tonight at 7?
Heâs eager, and she likes that sheâs not the only one. It assures her sheâs not being some creepy, obsessive, stalker.
Someoneâs eager lol
But yes
Where?
I was supposed to go to a âfriendâsâ party tonight but I never actually said yes and I really donât want to haha
Kinda cheesy but I was thinking a roller rink if you want to go
Thereâs one near my place and it has an arcade too!!
Growing up in the 90s, El remembers being fond of arcades. She and Max used to hang out in them all the time. Another thing in common!
Aaaaaa the arcade I miss those
Sounds good, pick me up or meet you there?
I can pick you up lol I donât mind
She sends him her address, and he sends back a GIF of a penguin dancing.
