Does anyone have a save of the epilogue with romanced Gale where he died, but his projection doesn't friendzone you?

I didn't even realize it was a bug or something because I haven't seen how this scene plays out without the romance bug until today, but no matter what I do he refers to my Durge or Shads as friend and I've spent an unholy amount of time setting and resetting all the flags I can think of, pulling up saves from unmodded walkthroughs, but... spectral Gale just friendzones me there no matter what I do. :/

Hug | Kim Mingyu

Summary: You secretly like your bestfriend chan,he has no idea and sets you up on a blind date with his friend and hyung Mingyu.

Genre: Angst? (Little bit), comfort, strangers to lovers, fluff

Pairing : Idol Kim Mingyu × (f) reader

Part 4

It was Sunday. The boys have their practice today that means mingyu and chan are going to meet. As soon as Mingyu goes to the practice room he spots chan but chan tries to avoid him lingering by seokmins side.

"YOU you fuvker come here right now-"

Mingyu tries to grab him while Chan's shoving a confused seokmin in between them he's asking what's this about ,what happened.

"This bastard told me he'd set me up on a date with y/n, turns out he told her it's a blind date instead of telling her it's a date with me"

"Ah hyuuung.. come on I tried my best for you two I had no other way i thought this would be the best option" chan whined

"Yah dino-ya that isn't nice, think about how he must've felt he was so excited to go" Seokmin scolds chan.

"Exactly my point ...what best option chan, did you even think about me? I thought she agreed on a date because she likes me as well ..did you think my feelings were a joke? Or am I that desperate that you'd have to lie to her for a date ? If I had known I'd find some other way to do it myself do you think I couldn't ask her myself? " Mingyu asks.. there's hurt clear in his eyes.

Chan feels terrible now his voice gets small when he speaks ,"hyung I'm so sorry...I should have thought about you more I didn't think that far, trust me I just wanted you two to get along and may be like each other cause you both are so precious to me and you both are one of the most amazing people I know ...I swear I just thought about your happiness."

Mingyu sighs," you shouldn't have done that but it's ok I forgive you."

He can't stay mad at his little brother for long anyway.

Chan hugs him suddenly, he really does feel very bad, "I'm sorry again hyungg you know I love you right?"

Mingyu pats his back while rolling his eyes, but he's smiling, "yeah yeah I love you too but never pull such stunts again."

Meanwhile there's jeonghan, hoshi and basically all the boys staring at them, they heard everything obviously.

"so you went on a date? That too with y/n ? And you didn't tell us?" Seungkwan speaks for everyone while they are nodding along with him waiting for mingyu to answer.

"It was a first date I didn't know what will happen ofcourse I was going to tell you all if it all worked out-" chan cuts him off, talking with his eyes widened, "wait a minute..it didn't go well?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then? " Chan asks again.

"I mean uh she was pretty shocked ..she didn't think it'd be me , so I didn't want to make her anymore uncomfortable, so we just talked normally, we went out for a walk then I dropped her off ."

"THAT'S IT??" Chan asked his eyes comically wide.

"uh yeah like I didn't want to burden her so I said we can be friends."

At this, they all collectively facepalm themselves.

"Seriously mingyu??? FRIENDS???" hoshi says looking at mingyu like he's ridiculous.

Jeonghan also steps in, "yeah like it was a date right? no romantic lovey dovey thing happened? Instead of asking her for another date you asked her to be friends?"

"You didn't even try to flirt with her or something? " Says Seungcheol.

"I did all this for nothing then" chan says in disbelief.

Mingyu closes his eyes, rubbing his hand on his forehead frustratingly at their questions. "Can you all just drop it please? I'll manage by myself thank you."

"yeah just lets get back to practice." Wonwoo says rubbing mingyu's back comfortingly.

Then they go on with their day.

And you, You're enjoying your weekend resting at home. When you get Chan's text.

Dinosaur 🦖: So you frienzoned mingyu hyung??

You: WHAT??? He said that??

You're confused Mingyu wouldn't do that, would he?

Dinosaur 🦖: No he said you were shocked,he didn't want to make you uncomfortable so he suggested you can be just friends.

Dinosaur 🦖: But hello I'm disappointed?? I even planned your wedding in my head and what did you do? You frienzoned each other 🤐🤐👏🏻👏🏻just great

You: woah woah no one told you to get that excited buddy and definitely not on a date which you planned by lying

Dinosaur 🦖: Pleaseee I said I'm sorry and don't make me feel more guilty I was already about to cry if mingyu hyung didn't forgive me...I don't think I can ever trouble him again even jokingly

You: was it that bad? Is he ok?

You can't help but feel bad thinking about him.

Dinosaur 🦖: well it's all my fault.. but girl atleast now you take some effort 🙄 I've found you such a great match and you're gonna keep him as your friend??

Dinosaur 🦖: God y/n even god wouldn't forgive such a thing.. I hate to say it but girls would die to be at your place right now.. GAME UPPPP I will even give you tips on how to flirt if you want

You roll your eyes at that.

You: Oh please I'm great at flirting you're the last person I'd take help from, you've done enough just go and focus on your practice for now..byeee

Dinosaur 🦖: BYE🙄🤐

Your thoughts take you to Mingyu again, "he must be hurt", "should I talk to him?", "what if he thinks I'm pitying him."

Your train of thoughts get interrupted by another ping of your phone , you pick it up to see mingyu's name on it.

On the other hand, Mingyu promises himself that he won't be sad anymore cause what is there to be sad about right? He's always the one who thinks about the brighter side of the situation, everyone says he's just too positive and hopeful even in the worst situations but Mingyu takes pride in that .. cause not many people have it, it takes a lot to be that positive,that courageous, that happy. So he's just gonna be himself.

Cause before yesterday, First- he didn't have your number, Second-you weren't on talking basis/you had zero connection, Three- He didn't have you even as a friend.. so for him it's win is a win kind of situation.

You read his text.

Mingyu : Heyy ..so chan asked me something about your purse??

You: oh shitt I forgot to tell you ..I lied about that to get your number from him 🫢

Mingyu: well don't worry I covered for you, you owe me something now👀 ..also should've asked me for my number directly, I'm more than willing to give it to you.

ONE THING ABOUT MINGYU IS HE WILL FLIRT, and your heart will suffer . Well in his defence he said you will be friends...there was no part where he mentioned he won't flirt or he won't try to woo you. So it seems you just gotta prepare yourself.

You huff at his reply, you started talking to him just from yesterday but you already got to know that this boy was a flirt ..a smooth one at that.

And were you feeling giddy, were you blushing? Well may be

You: Oh I'd have definately..asked it by myself. But you see it was an eventful day so kind of forgot to ask ...also yes I do owe you a big one, for yesterday as well ..tell me what I can do ? How about a meal?

Mingyu: Wouldn't that be a date?

You: it'd be whatever we will treat it as ..we said we'd be friends so it'll be us trying to build our friendship may be? Come on friends go to eat together all the time

Mingyu: Fair enough then, when will we go ?

You: Um I've work from tomorrow i'd be only free at dinner time 😕 is next week ok? If yes let me know when you're available

Mingyu: oh that's sad:( .. okay will go next week I'll let you know the time.

You: okayy cool ..see you then :)

Mingyu: Yes take care :))

You don't know but he's smiling at his phone right now, just as you are :)

In evening you meet chan he had promised you a meal so he's here at your apartment with lots of take out food and cake and muffins.

His practice was almost a day long so you had told him to just go home and take rest you'll plan to meet some another time . But he improvised the plan and came here.

You take all the food from him happily smiling looking at it..."Woahh you brought so much food"

He gives a toothy grin to you, "well I know you, I knew it'd keep you occupied "

You instantly stopped smiling and blinked at him ,"oh damn you almost had me distracted" you blink at him again.

He knows something is going to happen now, he is on alert..Then you're placing all the food down on the table, going to the couch grabbing a pillow andddddd he is running then, you run behind him.

"You asshole I promised myself i'd beat you up stop right there you bratttt"

He's screaming when you reach him and hit him with the pillow, "Ahhhhh this feels like some deja vu" he's running again and then going behind couch, giving those puppy eyes ..."I'm hungry" blink blink "I'm so tired and I was dancing the whole day, I'm so exhausted already and you're not even letting me eat I said sorry now stopp"

Your mouth hangs open at his antics..you huff..."Should learn emotional blackmailing from you ,go and wash your hands I'll get the plates"

He gives you a big big bright smile and runs to give you a quick hug before going to wash his hands.

You smile at him shaking your head.

You guys eat your food while talking.

He keeps asking about the date, so you tell him that it kinda got ruined because you were nervous so to make it up to Mingyu you decide to take him out for a meal .. he's teasing you about how it's a date when you keep denying it isn't.

"I don't know about you but on our planet here we humans call it a date" he says smugly.

You roll your eyes at him "whatever chan it's a friendly date then."

He shakes his head at you, saying you're impossible.

"Btw do you remember yunjin?"

"yeah the girl you're currently seeing ?"

"Yeah her...I think it's going to work out for me this time." He's smiling softly at his plate like he's thinking about her..."She's nice".

"woah woah look at you all blushing Lee chan"

He laughs," I just- I really hope it works out this time .. I've always wanted a serious relationship and this time it seems like it'd work ...I'm serious and I feel she is too." He says while smiling looking at you.

And honestly you want that for him as well.Cause he looks so happy just talking about her so sincerely. Whatever you thought about him you were never that childish to be jealous and think I wish I was the girl. No , you can't force someone's feelings. If he feels that for someone you'd always root for him. You always pray for your close people's happiness and he's one of them so why wouldn't you want that.

You coo at him.."Aww, I'm really rooting for you Chan you deserve it you deserve every happiness in this world."

He smiles at you, "thank you y/n, I'm also rooting for you" and then he dramatically winks at you. You know exactly what he's saying so you groan and threaten him to stab him with the fork if he doesn't shut up. He laughs at you.

Part 5

.

.

.

A/n:Hey lovely readers, this is it for today hope you enjoy it💗

Also the female reader isn't someone too deeply hurt or too deeply in love (about chan) she is not the jealous type, she has made her peace with everything so you won't see her feeling all these emotions deeply.

[relaxxattack]

every time my posts break containment i am reminded that the general homestuck fandom has an eridan-level understanding of moirallegiance. and that no matter how much i post about it or how much the fandom seems to have matured, people will never actually stop seeing moirallegiance as just a platonic special bonus version of a frienzone

[cinderkaliningrad]

The Winternight: If you catch their eyes. (Boys)

Pyotr Vladimirovich (if you like DILF's):

Pyotr will always love Marina, his first wife. We have to live with that fact. He will prefer that you do not physically resemble Marina or that you do not remind him of her in any way, and if you do, he will find it hard to get over the memory. Pyotr is a good man, with a good heart and proud of his family. If you treat his children well he will keep his arms open for you and you will be one of the family.

Nicolai "Kolya" Petrovich (I know he's married and he has a son, let's say that he's single):

First you have to be someone who stands out from the crowd. Beautiful or with good attributes. He looks at the body first. He will openly flirt with you, and probably torment poor Sasha with endless flattery about you. He'll get a bit angry if you don't pay attention to him.

Aleksandr "Sasha" Petrovich (aka Aleksandr Peresvet):

Sasha has probably never noticed anyone. You will be the first and therefore special. Someone brave, fearless who can follow you on your adventures. Be patient with him, the boy is a bit restless and quite reckless. He is clumsy in giving affection and will feel bad because he would be betraying his vows as a monk. Patience and more patience. Especially with his more conservative side, don't worry. Eventually he will understand that you don't think like him and he will respect you. But he will be faithful to you and would live and die for you. You respect his freedom and his desire for adventure. If you are lucky he will take you with him on the horse.

Aleksei "Alyosha" Petrovich:

He will love you with all his heart, he will be afraid of losing you as he lost his sisters (who left) and his mother. He will want to keep you close and protect you always. He will understand everything you tell him and will always listen to you. Good match, good husband, good friend. He will be sincere with you, he will like to have little moments in the woods and fields.

Dmitri Ivanovich (I know he's married too):

He will see you behind his wife's back. His heart is with you. He will look at you first for aesthetic reasons, just like Kolya, you must stand out in his eyes in any way you can. Get her attention. Sasha probably knows about this, but he will have to turn a blind eye. He will let you call him Mitya (his childhood nickname). He'll give you expensive gifts, he'll show off in front of you a lot to show off and impress you: Dmitri Ivanovich, your heroic prince in shining armour. He will show you his snake-hilted sword, his skills, etc.

Konstantin Nikonovich:

Obsession, obsession everywhere. He wants you and now, now and for him. The toxic blond of the novel has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. First he will feel guilty for thinking about his priestly vows. Little by little he'll get over it, he won't need you to convince him like Sasha. You'll get his attention no matter what you look like, just your personality and if you're a witch, you've got him. He may try to abduct you and harass you a bit. If you want to stop him, call Medved to control him.

Medved:

If you are creative, sing well, paint well, or are good at some kind of art or activity of some kind you will catch his attention. The same way Konstantin did. He will chase you until you leave to a place where he can't follow you (Death). He's going to pick your brains and manipulate you a bit, but deep down he'll care about you. And if you die, he will mourn for you and miss you. He'll be the monster in your wardrobe (literally because he's gay/bisexual) or under your bed if you want. His bear form is furry, he might let you sleep on top of him if you let him.

Kasyan Lutovich:

YOU DON'T WANT THIS GUY TO LAY AN EYE ON YOU, believe me... Just frienzone him and if he gives you problem call Vasya.

Morozko is not here, because here we respect our Queen Vasya.

[countessofravenclaw]

I'm just gonna dropp some more original writing for all of yours enjoyement.

I am mostly writing these as for my own enjoyment, but also was writing excercises to get myself more comfortable with writing certain things but also as character exploration for Isla and Marco,. whihc help me write them in my main works.

To know thet charcter, you have to know where they came from. Even if they are adults in my writing, in a very healthy and stable relatioship, they were once young people figuring out what they actually meant for each other.

That's what the story I call The Sunflower's Seed is about.

So, I figure this probably needs some context, given that this is a snippet from middle of the story. It's happening durng what I call the I can see you era (If you know what I mean, I refemnce Miss Swift forver and always). So it's mutual pining, we are just friends~no you're not, no one is brave enough to confess, frienzone is only in your head, everybody is seeing the tension, kind of time. It's 1996, they are 20 and in college. The specific context of this snippet is that: If you remember from Part 11 of S2AU, Isla told Luna and Nina how she and Marco used to go running together at college before they were together, while she does not like running, but did it to be cose to him. Well, during one of those runs, she fell and twisted her ankle.

“Are you doing okay?” Marco moved his hand on Isla’s back they walked toward the hallway where her room was located. 

“I keep telling you. I’m fin…” She grimaced as a sharp pain shot through her ankle. 

“And I keep telling you, it could be sprained.” Marco looked at her, his eyes filled with worry. “You need ice on it.”

Why are you so worried about me? The thought echoed in Isla’s head. Please, just say it and we can be done with this pretense. 

“Maybe you are on the wrong field,” Isla broke off the eye contact, before she got completely lost in it. “You should have been a doctor.” 

“Too late for that,” He shook his head laughing as he turned to look at the stairwell that led to the right hallway. “What’s that?”

“Oh, that.” Isla looked at the stairs as well. “They’re doing some construction, so few of the steps are missing at the start. It’s fine, you can just jump over them.” 

“You can’t.” Marco looked at her again. “Not with your ankle. That’s quite high.”

“I guess you’re right.” Isla looked at the stairs again. She still didn’t believe that her ankle was sprained, but it did hurt. “We can just walk around to the entrance on the other side.”

“That’s way too far.” Marco shook his head. 

“Well, you’re the one who said that I can’t get over the stairs,” Isla huffed, so what do you suggest we do?”

“There’s one way to get over that.” Marco looked at her… Then he promptly took her hand and…

Isla realized too late what was happening, as Marco lifted her up.

Why was it hard to breathe? 

Who was she kidding, she knew exactly why. Marco Perida had his arms around her, he was carrying her in his criminally gorgeous strong muscled arms.  

His arm was around her waist, and she was wearing a crop top. Her skin was exposed, and his touch was burning her skin off. 

Then she made the grave mistake of looking into his eyes… The pure affection, concern, care and kindness that was shining from them. What was going on? 

She couldn’t start to claim she hadn’t had this exact dream about a hundred times. Marco holding her tightly… If only he moved his hands little more up, under her shirt—

“There.” Marco placed her to the upper step and let go of her. 

Isla was about to wine in protest that he let go off her, but as she turned around, anything she wanted to say got caught in her throat as she looked at him. 

Her knight in shining armor… 

“Okay, let's go.” Marco climbed over the missing steps to where Isla was standing. “Can you get the rest of these up?”

She wanted to say no. Only to get back into his arms. “Yeah, I think I can.” 

“Nat?” Isla asked as they walked into her empty dorm room. “Huh? I guess she’s not here.” 

“Where is she?” Marco followed her. 

“I was sure she had exams this week, but who knows.” Isla shrugged, “She probably picked up a night shift or something. I don’t know what she loves so much about babysitting a hotel check-in desk.” She saw Marco’s expression. “What?”

“You shouldn’t be alone here right now.” He insisted, while reaching to take her hand

“I’ll be fine.” Isla responded, even if her heart was throwing somersaults at this very moment. 

“No.” Marco shook his head. “You need to get off your feet.” 

He pulled her gently, so she sat down on her bed. 

“I don’t think it’s swollen.” Isla pulled her left foot up on the bed and began unlacing her sneaker. “Aih. It might not be sprained, but it hurts.” She said through gritted teeth. 

“Let me help you with that.” Marco reached and helped her to pull the shoe off her foot gently. He dropped the sneaker next to the bed and got on his knees on the floor, so Isla’s feet were on his eyeleven. He ran his fingers on her ankle. “Yeah, I don’t think it’s swollen.”

Part of Isla wanted to scream for him to stop doing that, because didn’t he know how turned on she was already by him. This was making it worse. At the same time, she didn’t want him to stop. 

His fingers moving on her ankle… Every single touch sent sparks in her body. 

How can you not see what you’re doing to me?

“So, not probably sprained.” 

“Yeah, false alarm.” He nodded, a little solemnly, and looked up at Isla. “I’m sorry.”

“For what?” She looked at him confused. 

“All the fussing,” Marco sat down on the floor and leaned on the foot of her bed. “I’m sorry. It’s just a force of habit at this point.” 

“Because of your parents?” Isla asked, while she already knew the answer. You could see it from his eyes.

“Yeah,” Marco nodded, “They are notoriously good at downplaying everything, especially Mom. I was 15 when they got diagnosed, and pretty much had to steal the patient reports so I could read them and know what was going on. They finally relented after they caught me doing that. They said that they just wanted to protect me and Tomas but…”

“...sometimes protection like that will just end up hurting more.” Isla nodded. 

“They finally admitted that I need to know, because it’s me who has to take care of things when they…” His voice trailed off for a moment, “When they die. I know that they have accepted that, we can’t avoid the inevitable.” 

Isla looked at him. He was juggling so much, and still made an effort to look after her too. It was just his nature, such unmatched kindness that you didn’t find in a lot of people. 

“Are you cold?” Marco turned his head rapidly, as Isla shivered slightly. 

“Little bit.” She responded, “It’s the work out clothes.” 

“Here.” Marco unzipped his hoodie and draped it on her shoulders. Isla accepted it gratefully, completely ignoring that they were in her dorm room, and she could have just grabbed a cardigan from a closet. 

“Thanks.” Isla ran her hand on the fabric. The material was soft… She looked up at his eyes again.  

How long were they supposed to keep up this pretense? 

She realized that unconsciously she had already started to open her mouth, and it looked like Marco was about to do the same. 

“9 PM, so I have time to do…” Right at that moment Natalia, Isla’s roommate, walked in. “Hi?”

“Hi.” Isla tore her eyes off Marco. Nat was looking at them quite curiously, especially Marco. 

“Marco right?” Natalia asked. 

“Yeah.” He nodded, and started pushing himself off the floor. “Natalia?”

“Live and in person.” She nodded. “I’ve heard alot about you.”

“Good things I hope.” Marco responded while glancing at Isla. “I’ll leave you to it. See you later?”

“Yeah.” Isla nodded and watched helplessly as Marco walk out of the room. 

“Did I interrupt something?” Nat turned to look at her, raising her eyebrow. 

“No, of course not.” Yes, of course she did. Isla shook her head. “What would you have interrupted?”

“You tell me.” Natalia shrugged her shoulders. “Funny how you been talking about the guy, your friend, for like almost five months and I’ve never seen him here before.”

“Well, now you have.” Isla responded defensively. She actually wished that Nat actually would have walked into something compromising, because that would have meant that she and Marco would have been in a compromising position together. And that was what she wanted. “We were on a run and I twisted my ankle.”

She reached down to feel her foot, running her hand over where Marco had touched her. 

“Okay, you okay?”

“Yeah, it just hurts a little.” 

“How did you get up the stairs?” 

“I managed.” Isla responded, her mind going straight back to being in Marco’s arms while he lifted her up in the air. 

“Anyway, I just came here to drop these off. I have a night shift.” Natalia shrugged and dropped a folder on her bed. Then she promptly walked out of the door herself and Isla was left alone. 

She let out a frustrated grunt. How long was she supposed to stand this?”

Isla pulled Marco’s hoodie off her shoulders and held it in her hands. She shamelessly buried her face in it, completely engulfed with the scent and the smell of him. 

She took a deep breath as the frustration and desire started growing in her. What was she going to do?

For a moment she fantasized of letting herself run into his dorm room, and throwing herself onto him without any sort of shame. Use all the powers of seduction she could muster so he’d take her to his bed. 

But that was just a fantasy.

Marco rolled over on his bed. He really didn’t want to look at the time, because he did not want to get up. Obviously, he had slept terribly. 

His mind kept replaying yesterday's events on a loop. Not just what had happened, also what could have, what didn’t… What he had wanted to happen.

What had he done?

He just couldn’t stand the sight to see Isla in pain and he had acted without thinking. Lifting her up, her in his arms, had felt so right. 

Touching her had done such unspeakable things to him, that he wasn’t even sure how he had been able to keep his hands from feeling up her body, in every single way. 

This was impossible. He couldn’t stand this. 

He very reluctantly got up and pulled some actual clothes on. He busied himself for ten minutes with arranging his notebooks on the desk. He didn’t actually have class today, so he didn’t need to do that, but it kept his mind busy.

Honestly, the best solution for this was to hide away at the library or a study hall for the whole day. Seeing no one and speaking to no one—

Suddenly there was a knock on his door. 

That was probably Micheal. That’s it for not seeing anyone. 

“Hey.” He almost completely froze when he opened the door. 

Isla was standing at his door frame in the morning, smiling brightly. God her smile was one of the most beautiful things in this world, right after her eyes. 

“Hi.” Marco could fluster a response. This wasn’t exactly helping in the slightest, when it already was hard to be around her. 

“I thought you might want this back.” Isla held his hoodie toward him. No, he didn’t want it back. It was hers, like he wanted to be. 

“It’s fine.” He shook his head, trying to snap back into reality. “Should you be up? It’s still quite early. You could have slept in.”

“I don’t know how to sleep in.” Isla laughed, “You know that.”

“I do.” He nodded, while her laugh was completely destroying him. 

Kiss her. Pull her in. Make her yours.

The words were echoing in his mind, getting progressively louder. He couldn’t drown them out.

“Isla—” He opened his mouth, before he had realized what he was doing. “I…”

“Perida!” Both whipped their heads around to see a secretary from the front office was rushing down the hallway. 

“What?” Marco asked. No, no no, not now. Why was the timing never on his side?

“There’s a call for you,” The secretary explained, “They said it was highly urgent.” 

Marco felt his heart jump on his throat. The regular updates about his Dad had never been urgent before…

He glanced at isla quickly, before he started to follow the secretary. 

As they had reached the office and Marco had been let in alone, he took a breath, before grabbing the landline. “Hello?”

“This is Marco Perida?” An unfamiliar voice came from the other end. 

“Yes.” He responded. “Who is this?”

“Dr. Ramiwec from Quirón Salud Córdoba Hospital.” The voice broke again. “We are sorry to inform you that your father Dario Perida was pronounced dead at 2:54 AM this morning.” 

Marco placed his hand on the desk to keep himself steady.

Obviously, we know thay end up getting married so this will have a happy ending... But who doesn't love some mutual pining? And people love to interrup don't they they? Always at the right moment. But this is how we build tension.

I know Debling is just there to make Colin jealous but Pen should marry him (and stop yearning for the man that has frienzoned her like a million times already)

"You see, Felicity, it's a gamer pad. Not many girls come in here, because I get frienzoned so frequently."

Ask: Who was the target of Nabiki's rage when Ranma frienzoned her?

Ryoga. Poor bastard couldn’t eat or even use the bathroom after what Nabiki’s did to him.
